We have had several hot days and
nights the past week, just such weather
as is recognized as excellent for corn
during the months of July and August
It has been maturing and hardening the
corn and is a good thing for the crop.
We failed to mention last week the
return of John Huber and son from their
trip to Minnesota. August Wagner
stopped off with friends in Iowa. Mr.
Huber says he enjoyed the trip very
much, and going overland by wagon is
the way to see the country.

One of our citizens, who is a lover
of wine and also a great student of the
bible, was in the country the other day
and was treated to some new wine. Al
though it tasted good, he says it didn't
agree with him, and he has been query
ing whether it wasn't because the new
wine was put into an old bottle his

A soldiers' monument is to be erect
ed at Schuyler. Some are saying it
should be in the cemetery, others at the
intersection of streets, but the Herald
suggests that the best place is a square
by itself, where the people can meet
occasionally "away from the depressing
effects of cemetery surroundings, and
away from the du6t and grime of the
business world."
John Tannahill tells us that at the
last meeting of the Horticultural socie
ty, a specimen seedling apple was shown
that promises to be very valuable. A
Saunders county fruit grower had the
fruit on exhibition. It is a winter apple,
keeps better than the Ben Davis; the
tree bears every year, bears at four years
from planting, and abundantly. There
was also specimen of a new grape a third
larger than the Concord, and from which
a superior quality of wine is made.
The Norfolk News very truthfully
remarks that one delightsome condition
of the advances taking place in farm
produce is that they have come while
the stuff is in the hands of the farmers.
Usually the speculator manages to re
press the price until the crop has been
drawn out of the producers' hands into
those of the middleman. Now the extra
profit goes into the hands of the men
who are best entitled to it who need it
most and, to whom it will do the most
good.
On one of the convention days two
old farmers of Platte county got into a
discussion on the state of the country.
One of these was a republican, the other
a populist. Prices all around had just
begun to go up, and when the populist
began on the old cry of low prices, it
didn't fit the new conditions at all, and
the republican was ready to buy at once
any cheap stock hogs, or calves or cows
or steers or even any cheap corn or oats
or wheat that the other had to offer.
The increased demand and the lessened
supply together have brought prices up.
The Schuyler Quill says that Robert
Gray has a curiosity out on the Fuller
ranch in the shape of a two-legged pig.
The pig was a week old before the
curious fact was noticed and it is still
living. It is a perfect pig, except having
only the fore legs. The hind legs are
entirely lacking, not having even stumps
or any hip joint, although the tail is
there all right. When it walks it does
not drag its hind parts, as would be ex
pected, but balances on its fore legs and
goes like a hen. It is a curious speci
men and if it continues to live will be a
curiosity for sure.
A telegram from Des Moines, Iowa,
under date of August 31, says: "The
monthly weather crop report for Iowa,
issued today, is the most gloomy resume
of crop conditions that has been issued
in years. It declares that corn cannot
be half a crop except with the most
favorable weather for three weeks. A
frost before September 20 would cut the
yield below 50 per cent. To make any
thing better than a half crop will require
that there be no frost before October 1.
The weather has been excessively dry
during August and the crop has suffered
greatly, with no prospect of improve
ment" The dry weather of the past ten
days has carried the corn and beet crops
very far toward ripening, says the Nor
folk Journal, and there is very little
apprehension felt any longer as to that
question. Frost does no injury to the
beets, really helps them, but wet weather
in September keeps them growing and
prevents them from attaining the re
quired 80 per cent of purity. Corn has
now also reached a stage of development
where a light frost might be a benefit
inetead of an injury, as it would stop
growth and hasten ripening. The pros
pect for yield is as good as last year and
for quality better.
One of the most valuable institu
tions in our commnnity is St. Mary's
hospital, whose buildings occupy a half
block in the northeast part of the city,
conveniently near for city advantages
and far enough out to be a quiet, rest
ful place for invalids. The hospital has
had a steady growth in patronage since
the first and is gaining a reputation
throughout central Nebraska that brings
them many patients. The large, brick
building is three stories with basement,
and several additions. The hospital
contains three large wards with
several beds in each, and twenty-five
single rooms. They are nearly always
occupied with an average of about forty
patients. The operating room is well
fitted up with modern instruments to be
used by the physicians and surgeons.
The hospital is in charge of Sister Hen
ries, with twelve assistant Sisters and
employes, who give the patients the
best of cars.

The highest office in the gift of the
electors of the state this year is judge
of the supreme court
One nomination, that of the republi
cans, A. M. Post, present chief-justice,
had been made, and now last week, fol
lows that of J. J. Sullivan, one of the
judges of this judicial district.
The populists, the democrats and the
free-silver republicans united in this
nomination.
Mr. Sullivan is a democrat, but his
party convention at Lincoln nominated
Thompson of Grand Island, by acclama
tion. So soon as the populists heard that
this had been done, they nonainated
Neville of North Platte, while the free
silver republicans held to Cunningham
R. Scott of Omaha.
And thus it stood for quite a while,
neither one being ready to give up to
the other.
It was evident that the one compro
mise candidate had not yet been named.
But the object of the three conven
tions meeting at the same time and
place was to agree upon a candidate,
and if Senator Allen, Towne, Bryan and
other notables were not there for the
purpose of effecting a fusion of forces,
why were they there at all?
The three conventions were in ses
sion all night. Each took a recess for
breakfast, and began their balloting
again, after their meal.
A rule had been agreed upon that
when two conventions had endorsed any
one candidate, be was to be accepted by
the third, and his nomination made
unanimous.
At 10 o'clock the democratic conven
tion withdrew Thompson, who did not
meet with much favor in the other con
ventions. Judge Sullivan was then
voted for unanimously, and his name
sent to populists and free silver repub
licans. Iu a short time, Scott withdrew, and
Sullivan was made the unanimous choice
of the silver republicans.
As the rule had been adopted that
when a majority of the three conven
tions, that is to say, when two conven
tions, should agree on a candidate, he
should be the nominee of the three con
ventions, the uews of two having agreed
soon came to the ears of the populists,
and as, under the rule, all had been
virtually settled anyhow, it was not dif
ficult for the populists to see that the
handwriting on the wall was J.J.Sul
livan. When there was a motion to make
Sullivan's nomination unanimous, there
was a vigorous negative, but Senator
Allen took the floor and eulogized Sul
livan, and directly Neville came aleo to
his support, thanked his friends for
their unswerving support of himself, and
said that under the rule the convention
was bound to endorse Sullivan. He
praised Sullivan, and after another vote,
Sullivan was declared endorsed by the
convention.
And thus ended the contest for the
nomination, by the naming of a dem
ocrat for the place.
School Board.
The school board met Friday evening
to consider applications for teacher of
the Eighth grade, as successor to Mies
Ida Martin, who has accepted a position
at Trinidad, Colorado.
The applicants were O. H. Ozias, Miss
Nellie Lynch, Miss May Rhodee of Lin
coln and Miss Ella Powers.
The board adjourned without an elec
tion and met again Saturday morning.
An informal ballot was taken, follow
ed by eleven formal ballots. Sometimes
the vote would be 3, 2, 1; 2, 2, 2, but on
the eleventh ballot it stood at Miss
Lynch 4, Mr. Ozias 2, and Miss Lynch
was declared elected and the secretary
was directed to notify her by telegram
to David City that she had been elected
for the ensuing school year at 350 per
month.
Miss Lynch is well and favorably
known iu Platte county, daughter of
Thomas Lynch of Shell creek. She is a
graduate of the Columbus High school,
class of '87; a graduate of the State
Normal at Peru, and holds a state certi

Saturday week John Schram, of Se
attle arrived in the city and went to
Nance county, where his wife and chil
dren were visiting relatives, returning to
this city Thursday. Friday he made us
a very pleasant call. He says that Wash
ington is in splendid condition this year,
the mining, lumber and fishing interests
all being strong. There is a tremendous
run of salmon, and the canneries get their
supply at about a cent apiece for fish of
5 to 15 pounds weight. The dull times
of the last three yeais, when farmers got
but little for their wheat, has helped in
one respect, viz., that of inducing more
attention to prospecting in the moun
tains, which has been done with good
success. The wheat crop of east Wash
ington this season is estimated at 35,000,
000 bushels, and owing to facilities for
shipment, the price is nearly as good as
in Chicago, ships from the old country
competing sharply for return cargoes.
One steamer a month is outfitted for Ja
pan, and this trade is coon to be increas
ed by the shipment of flour great mills
with a capacity of a thousand barrels a
day being in contemplation in the near
future. Freight rates from Liverpool to
Seattle have been almost as cheap as from
Chicago to Seattle, and foreign tin plate
has been bought mainly there until this
year. Now ninetenths of the plate used
is American. Washington don't raise
corn, the warm season not being long
enough; the wheat crop, with present
prices, is very remunerative, the yield be
ing forty to fifty bushels to the acre. For
some time the gold excitement has run
pretty high at Seattle, which is the one,
great, outfitting place for the Klondike
mines. Mr. Schram thinks that at least
fourteen hundred citizens of Seattle
have gone to the Alaska gold regions, be
sides strangers from the east. Mr.
Schram personally knows four of their
citizens, who returned with $20,000 to
$135,000 in gold from Klondike, and this
fact did not lessen the interest in the
new gold fields.

Monroe Republican: Wm. Becklem
had a well put down this week that
looked for a time as though it would be
a flowing well. While George Smith
was putting the pipe down the well
commenced to flow quite strong, but it
did not hold out. The well is 181 feet
deep and the water is only 56 feet from
the surface.
Milford Nebraskan: J. S. Dillenbeck
got his engine Tuesday, and now com
mences permanent work mining for gold
and silver on bis homestead. His
neighbors are interested watchers of his
progress, and when they are a little
surer of bis success several more smel
ters and engines will be set at work, and
our gold hills will become a very busy
place. Mr. Dillenbeck has fought this
battle through to a finish and is now
congratulated for coming out victor
ious. Crete people also are planning to
put in smelters. Our people do not
have to go to Klondike.
Cedar Rapids Outlook: There were
burglars abroad last Monday uight iu
Cedar Rapids. They made their way
through the cellar into H. H. Comptoii
& Co'a store, and helped themselves to
pipes, cigars and jewelry valued at
about $90. Also the same night E. 1.
Welker's hardware store was entered
through a back window aud bis safe
was opened, but strange to say, the val
uable papers aud $80 iu money which it
contained were not disturbed. They
went to the show case and took out
about live dozen pocket knives, two
dozen razors, aud two dozen shears, all
valued at about $50. There is no cer
tain clue to the whereabouts of the
thieves, but it is suspicioued that they
do not live many mites awav.
