D. Stires has been appointed in his place. Mr. Ragatz' reason was that his business was such that he didn't have time to give it attention. II. E. Babcock has got the irrigation ditch dug as far east as the Hendryx farm, where they are now using water from the river. The ditch is dug almost continuously as far east as J. R.

The Creston Statesman is the latest candidate for public favor in the news paper line in Platte county. It is a six column folio, with R. B.

The pay-roll of the B. k M. is prob ably three times what it was two years ago. Many of the engineers and con ductors the past month have earned extra pay, and this, besides an increased number of workmen, enlarges the money paid out by the company.

Engelbart Spitzer, the blind man who leads a cow around the streets for pasture, was run over Friday morning, the driver of a dray team not seeing him. The bind wheel of the heavy dray wagon passed over bis legs, doing no injury to speak of, which was, indeed, fortunate for both the driver and Mr. Spitzer. Wheat gained two cents a bushel last Thursday on the New York market, reaching the highest point since August 12. The St. Louis market that day closed at $1.00i for December, the ad vance of fully two cents being caused by reports of killing frosts in the north west and estimates on the European shortage. The Journal is prepared to furnish in the very latest styles, stationer's goods for balls, parties, entertainments, school exhibitions, concerts, graduating exercises, and the thousand other occa sions for which fine stationery and nice printing are in demand. We furnish ev erything in our line at reasonable prices, and strictly in line with the order, tf There is not a particle of doubt now in regard to increased business on the railroads of the state. Trains after trains have been added on every line, and there are not cars enough to meet the demand. Not only have added trains been necessary, but the old crews have been compelled to work over time, with of course extra pay, a thing that hadn't been heard of for three years. The fusion forces are beginning al ready to figure on the election of Judge Sullivan as a certainty and are discuss ing who shall be appointed his succes sor as judge in this district, by Governor Holcomb. This is altogether too pre vious, gentlemen. The republicans will have something to say about this. Judge Post is to be his own successor, and Judge Sullivan will be allowed to stay where he is. A little house on Seventeenth street owned by Mrs. Fent was seen to be afire yesterday noon. Don Benson, Jo Fre vert, Charles Matthews and E. H. Jen kins were the first at hand nobody be ing at the house and the fire was prac tically out when the firemen arrived, which they did very promptly. The fire originated from the kitchen stove, and a defective flue, damage not great, but even this is severe for the lady. The Presbyterian congregation en joyed an extra treat in the music line last Sunday. Mr. Braughn, traveling agent for the Ben Hur order, who is also a musical composer, assisted in the choir as baas singer and also rendered a cor net solo. Next Sunday he will again assist the choir and those who enjoy music should not fail to be present. Mr. Braughn has the distinction of being a nephew of Ella Wheeler Wilcox. There were five companies of the state militia in camp at David City, Sun day to this, Tuesday, evening, the Whit moyer Rifles of this city being of the number. Thirty-two members went over Sunday afternoon via the B. & M. Some of the boys have been having what they might call a serious time of it, but soldiering is not picnicing, by any means, and those who enter the lists should make up their minds to obey the rules. H. Johannes died Wednesday at his home aear Platte Center. He was about 72 years of age, and an uncle of Mr. Johannes of the Biene of this city. The remains were buried in the Luth eran cemetery, Grand Prairie township. Mr. Johannes was an old resident of the county, and highly respected by all his acquaintances. He was born in Older burg, Germany, and came to America in 1881. He was father-in-law of Super vison Becher. A mission festival will be held Sun day, the 19th, on Loseke creek, twelve miles northeast of the city, by the con gregation of Rev. Frese, assisted by Rev. Miessler's congregation of this city.

Schroe der of Grand Island will preach the mis sion sermon at 2:30. All are invited to come and bring their dinners. Business has so increased on this branch of the U. P. that it has been nec essary to add an express messenger and baggage man to the train force. C. O. Johnson of Coluinbns took this position on the 1st inst. He will run on all trains and this will enable the public to send and receive express four times a day. The railroads are a pretty good index to the condition of business, and they are doing more business than for several years past Popocratic papers please copy. Albion News. The Hagel & Stevenson creameries at Columbus, Neb., made 60,211 pounds of butter in the month of July, and paid out to the farmers of the county the sum of $5,259.50 for milk and cream during that time. The bulk of this butter was shipped to New York and other eastern cities, the product finding a ready market and being a hard com petitor with Wisconsin, Elgin and other dairy districts. This firm has three creameries and two separator stations and employ nearly forty hands. Ne braska Farmer. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Judge Bayard Fuller of this city to Miss Grace Smith of St. Joe, Mo., at the home of the bride in that city this, Wednesday, at 830 p. m. Miss Smith has many friends here having had a position in Mrs. Walters' millinery store as trimmer a year ago. Mr. Fuller has for several years been an attorney in our city and has been looked upon as a confirmed old bachelor, and so the friends here were very much surprised at the announcement.

The annual meeting of the old settlers of Platte county was held in a picnic in Potter's grove iu Lost Creek township last Friday. Considering the rainy weather there waa a large crowd present. The meeting was called to order by the vice president, John Kelley, about 1 o'clock, after which the following offi cers were elected: John Tannahill, president. John Kelley, vice president. John Potter, 2d vice president. W. W..Mannington, treasurer. O. A. Brindley, secretary. Speeches were made by Henry Ger rard, Monroe, C. A. Brindley and John Tannahill, Columbus, and George Young, a pioneer of Dodge county, son-in-law of the late "Grandma" Kelley. The Monroe band furnished music during the day, which added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. The next annual picnic will be held somewhere in the eastern part of the county, all arrangements to be made by the new officers. C. A. Wooeley was called upon by parties interested in the welfare of Tar nov to go up there Wednesday, to take a hand in straightening out the illegal sale of liquor. We are informed that for several years this ilegal sale has been going on there (as, we learn it is in several other communities in the coun ty) until the law-abiding people have become disgusted, tired, and determined to put a stop to it. Our information is that several suits were instituted, aud when it was seen that there was a deter mination to enforce the law, an agree ment was arrived at that it is hoped will be satisfactory to law-abiding citi zens of Tarnov and vicinity. Many Nebraska readers of The Journal were acquainted with Mrs. Nancy Dewey, who died at her home in Cadiz, Ohio, September C, after a short illness. She was married in 1823 to Cbauncey Dewey, then a young lawyer, afterwards prominent banker of Cadiz, and who with his sons had large inter ests in the west. To them were born ten children, four of whom survive their mother, OrvilleC. of Wheeling, Charles and Albert of Chicago, and Mrs. C. M. Hogg of Cadiz. Mrs. Dewey was a daughter of John and Sarah Pritchard, was born near Uniontown, Pa., October 27, 1804, and came to Cadiz with her parents in 1807. "Her life." says the Cadiz Republican, "practically began and ended with the nineteenth century. The world has produced only a few such women." Last Wednesday evening Mr. Val entine Weaver and Miss Effie Beardsley were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents in the northern part of the city, Rev. Rogers officiating. Mr. Weaver has for several years been assist ant cashier in tho State Bank and is a most faithful worker. Miss Beardsley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Beardsley, and has a host of friends which she has made by hor cheerful, sunshiny disposition. Mr. Weaver was born and raised in Columbus and the fair bride a resident for many years nnd naturally our people are interested in their future happiness. None but nour relatives were present at the wedding. The couple moved into their new, neat, little cottage just south of the groom's father's which had been recently built and furnished ready for occupancy. The Journal extends hearty congratu lations. It is seldom that a local paragraph gets lost in The Journal office, but the following, prepared for last week, fell by the wayside. These items are what go to make up the local history of the times: Friday of last week J. H. Galley returned from his trip to St. Joseph, where he bought his goods of Tootle, Wheeler & Motter, a wealthy firm who are doing an immense business, of which people generally have no conception. One train load of thirty-three cars with goods alone for this firm arrived while be was there, and every nook and corner of the immense establishment was full of goods, buyers and those who were waiting on the buyers. One hundred and thirty-five salesmen, start in at 7 o'clock in tho morning and work all they can till 10 at night in an endeavor to keep ahead of orders, and then they have stacks of them to begin on the next day. The midsummer woods with a road way near Narragansette furnishes the principal color plate to the Art Inter change for September. It is simply and broadly painted, and shows intelligent study of one of nature's pleasing moods. A group of monochrome studies of clas sic ruins for the use of the china painter and general decorator, is the second. A number of exterior and interior views of the Art Institute of Chicago; some draw ings of Vierge; various types of Celtic ornament; one of the last rose studies made by Madame Roosenboom; with nu merous designs for embroidery, leather work and other arts of the amateur, as well as house plans and designs, are in cluded among the illustrations.

Down at Ashland they have been consulting a fortune-teller in regard to the disappearance of Agent Roy at Ith aca, and she declares that his body lies at the head of a certain island in the Platte under fifteen feet of water and three of sand. She chose Roy's photo graph, without hesitation among others, and described his personal appearance. She described two men of Ithaca load ing cars that night, and told how, after they finished, they drove away in one direction while Roy went around the end of the car. Here, she asserted, he was struck on the head by his murder ers, but before losing consciousness pitched the safe keys of the office into the weeds beside the track. A search after this statement revealed the keys exactly where she said they were. The woman also asserted that the murdered man's body was taken in a buggy to tha Platte and thrown into the water. This statement recalled the tracks which' were discovered the morning after the disappearance, leading to the Platte and running for some distance on the Sarpy side. Her assertions are something wonderful and having so far been true, the searchers will attempt to find the corpse where he has located it in the river.

In matters of policy touching public affairs in which all of us are more or less interested, because the public wel fare is involved, The Journal believes that there shonld be the utmost freedom of individual action. That, so far as nominations, for instance, are concerned, there should be the fullest, freest dis cussion and conference among the dele gates to the convention and republicans in general as to the qualifications, the fitness and the availability of the candi dates to be presented to the people of Platte county by the republicans, for their suffrage, this fall. We believe that the republican party of Platte county has the opportunity of its life for victory all along the line. There are several exceedingly good reasons for this belief that it is not nec essary, just here and now to set forth. But, if the delegates elect, and to whom has been entrusted the duty, will act upon the principle of looking over the republicans of the county with a view to selecting as standard-bearers men who are undoubtedly qualified for the position selected; honest and capable; men who have the full confidence of their party friends and the community at large in which they live; men who will bring strength instead of weakness to tho ticket; men who will not only uuraci votes 10 inemseives, out nave a tendency to bring voters to consider the merits of other candidates on the ticket it mis general line oi procedure is followed, the republicans of Platte county, whether members of the con vention or not, whether candidates in this campaign or not, can well congrat ulate each other on the prospect of success. Republicans believe in law and its enforcement; they believe in good, capa ble, trustworthy men for official station; they believe in fair play between aspi rants for public place. Let ns have a clear-cut campaign ou merit candidate confronting candidate; principle opposed to political make shift; the public welfare our motto, as against individual greed of officials as evidenced more than ouce by the record of our opponents. The people of Platte, irrespective of party, will hail with delight a ticket of this kind, and give it a grand support. SatVriag in Silence. Women are the real heroes of the world. Thousands of th6m endure the dragging torture of the ills peculiar to womanhood in the silence of the home. They suffer on and on weeks, mouths, years. The story of weakness and tor ture is written in the drawn features, in the sallow skin, in the listless eyes, in the lines of care and worry on the face. Inborn modesty seals these women's lips. They prefer the pain to humilia tion. Custom has made them believe the only hope of relief lies in the ex amination and "local treatment." But in nine cases of female weaknesses out of ten, local treatment is unnecessary. There is no good reason why modest, sensitive women should submit to it. McEIree's Wine of Cardui which is attracting so much attention now, has brought about a revolution in tho man ner of treating this troublesome class of diseases. It is a pure vegetable wine that exerts a wonderfully healing, strengthening and 6oothing iuflueuce over the organs of womanhood. It in vigorates and stimulates the whole sys tem. It is almost infullible in curing the peculiar weaknesses, irregularities and painful derangements of women. It does this great work year after year in the privacy of home away from the eyes of everybody. Every druggist sells Wine of Cardui. The price is 31.00 per bottle. 1 What Platte County Farm ers Say.
