on, ladders and all into the water below,
a distance of about thirty feet- Both
horses were killed, the wagon wrecked,
but cone of the four persons received a
scratch, strange, to say, all of them in
the water under the wagon. The even
ing before, two teams and a load of hay
had gone safely over the bridge, and
there was no suspicion of its unsafe con
dition. js:-

Tuesday morning just after 6, S. W. W.
Wilson got his double-barrelled shot
gun to kill some quail that were in his
house yard near the Third ward school
house. In going from the dining-room to the
kitchen the gun somehow started to fall
and struck the table, so that the con
tents of one barrel were discharged into
the left side of the unfortunate man,
causing the bowels to protrude some
eight inches.
His neighbor, James Cnshing, was the
first man to reach him, and Dr. Geer

little hope of recovery.

No one ought to complain of corn, as
it is uniformly good, except where the

John Currie, our efficient road over

Sunday or Sunday night, a week ago,
some one or more miserable miscreants,
without the fear of the Lord before
them, entered the orchard of M. K. Tnr
ner 1 l miles north of the city, and stole
about three bushels of peaches. The
object is a surprise, as the fruit was not
yet ripe.
Mr, Binder of the firm of Binder A
Smitli, threshers, had the misfortune to
to injure his left hand about ten days
aeo, and the manner in which he receiv
ed the injury was very singular: while
eating at the table he dropped his fork
and sought to catch it before it struck
the floor, but the end of the handle
struck arnng of his chair at the same
time that his hand came in contact with
the tines, in such a position that the
tines entered the hand at the first joint
of the little finger and with such force
as to injure the bone. Mr. Einder suff
ers great pain, and has been laid np
since from work. The attending physi
cian was to operate on the injured parts
last Saturday. R.
The Delsarte entertainment under
the direction of Mrs. Tanner of Hast
ings, at the opera house last Wednes
day evening was certainly one of the
most pleasing entertainments given in
the city for a long time. The poses by
the young ladies, as well as the little
girls," were remarkably correct and the
costumes added to the charm of the
movements. The program, which was
published in The Journal, was carried
out. The farce, "The New Woman,"
was a forcible representation of what
the new woman is likely to represent in
a few years. The house was crowded
and the ladies of the Episcopal church
made a neat sum for their share of the
profits. Saturday evening Mrs. Tanner
took nearly all the performers np to
Platte Center, where they repeated the
entertainment to an appreciative aud
ience, after which a dance was given in
honor of the company. Mrs. Tanner
has made many friends while in the
city, who will be glad to give her a high
recommendation, both as a lady and as
an elocutionist. Mrs. Tanner will re
main in the citv this week.
Mayors of cities are requested to
appoint" ten delegates each to the Fifth
annual convention of the Nebraska Irri
gation association to be held at Lincoln
Sept. 23-30. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to all past and present members
of congress from this state, all past and
present state officials, all members elect
of the legislature, and all county officials
now holding office, inclnding county
commissioners or supervisors to attend
as delegates. One fare for the round
trip. The coming convention will prob
ably be the most important in the his
tory of the state so far as irrigation is
concerned. The hydraulic pressure has
been at work the last few years, and
most Nebraskans now appreciate the
valne of the irrigation ditch.
At the meeting of the city council
Friday night there was a petition pre
sented for a walk diagonally across the
park from northeast to southwest, sim
ilar to the one already laid on the other
diagonal. It was referred to the com
mittee on finance, we suppose the mam
thought being a question as to amonnt
of funds. Reimer, Lnshbangh and
Johnson, as a committee of draymen,
tnrned in a remonstrance against Jaek
Elston for not taking out a license as
drayman. A proposed ordinance was
read a first time providing that lot ow
ners or occupants cnt the weeds on their
premises. Louis F. Phillips was ap
pointed water commissioner, and the
appointment unanimously confirmed.
A. G. Rolf was unanimously nom
inated as the republican candidate for
county supervisor in his district to sne
ceed himself. He has made a good of
ficial and deserves re-election. His op
ponent is James Kiernan, who is quite
noted for the amount of his talk. Mr.
Rolf is not at all lacking in ability to
express his thoughts; he excels in use
ful information on public matters; in
good judgment as applied to the affairs
that come before the board for con
sideration, and he has just those quali
ties that command the respect and con
fidence of his fellow-members, and
through them, of the tax-payers of the
county.
In an article clipped from the Bee
and headed "Which Brand of Democ
racy?' it may readily be seen how dif
ficult a thing it is to ride two horses, at
the same time, when they are going in
different directions. As long-legged as
Judge Sullivan is, this feat is too much
for him. The populist argument does
not coincide with the gold-democratic
authority, and neither one nor the
other, in this instance, has the slightest
bearing upon the judicial functions.

The republicans of Platte county are
under obligations to no one or two or
three persons, except to do the right, as
it is given their unbiased judgment to
see the right.
There has been too much government
by committees, for committees and in
dividuals, reversing Lincoln's justly
celebrated dictum, "government of the
people, by the people, for the people.'
The republican party, more than any
other political organization, should
voice, in all things, and especially in its
selection of candidates for office, not
the whim or wish or will of a few men,
but the clear, free and just purpose of
the rank and file of the party.
The interests of the general public
are the first in importance.
Consider them, and consider what
they demand of our party, in each par
ticular case.
By party instinct, republicans are in
favor of good competent meu, who will
obey the laws of the land; men of good
character and worthy of respect: men
who will command the regard of their
political opponents when in office, be
cause of their evident fitness for the
trusty
We must get rid of the idea that elec
tion to office, whether or no, is the
proper principle of action, and look to
ability to serve, and thorough willing
ness to serve the public, as the proper
rule for the guidance of men in office.
Representative republicans are men
of this kind, and if we present such
and only such for the suffrages
of Platte county voters, we may pos
sibly succeed in electing the entire
ticket.
On any other basis, such as has been
strongly suggested with reference to
one of the prominent offices, it is more
than likely that snch an inexcusable
blunder, and trifling, would lose for the
party all hope of electing even any of
our ticket in Platte county.
Lat the right thing be done.
Republicans, nominate a fnll ticket of
republicans.

Albion News: Two car-loads of as fine
agricultural products as ever grew out
of doors left Albion for Omaha Wednes
day evening. Another car-load went
from Cedar Rapids, and all are for the
Boone connty exhibit at the state fair.
The collection consists of everything
that grows in the county. About 160
varieties of graeses alone they had, and
big pumpkins, squashes, melons, and
vegetables the like of which the agricul
tural editor never saw or heard of. C.
E. Drake and assistants have been over
Boone connty with a fine-tooth comb
apparently and have gathered together
a wonderful collection of everything
that grows. If we don't secure first
premium this year there will be room
to suspicion that the judges don't know
their business.

FOLLY REPEXTED.
A Nebra!ta Farmer Who ia- UA Enoash
of Uryani-tni.
A writer in the Pawnee Republican
tells a characteristic story of conversion
from Bryanism that came to notice there
the other day. Going through the
court house square a well known and
quite thrifty farmer commenced to smile
and hold out his hand for a shake. It
was snch a vigorous, old-fashioned, glad
handshake that there was evidently
something back of it. "Well, said he,
"I have sold part of my wheat. Had
sixty acres this year and it went thirty
two bushels. I have just sold 1.250
bushels and got money enongh for it to
pay off the $1,0-30 mortgage on my farm,
principal and interest, and have about
700 bushels left. Last fall I felt pretty
blue. I raised over 3,000 bushels of
corn and when I got ready to sell it
they would not agree to pay more than
S cents a bushel. Had about 400 bush
els of wheat and sold what I could spare
of it for 38 cents. I got pretty grumpy
and the free silver fellows talked so
much about what free coinage would do
for Bilver and wheat and everything else
and got me rattled, and, to tell the
truth, I went off and voted for Eryan
and free silver, bnt if the good Lord
will forgive me T will never be such a
blamed fool again. Confonnd it! I
knew we always had good times when
the republican party was in power and
I knew, too, that the pop ideas were a
humbug and their leaders a lot of sore
head officeseekers and rattle -brained
adventurers, but I thought there might
be something in that notion that silver
and wheat had always gone up and down
together, and I thought I would try it
anyway. Hereafter yon can count on
me to stick to the republican party, no
matter what happens, nor what anybody
may say. I always did think it was the
best party and never really intended to
leave it, but I just got weary and rattled
and make a fool of mvself."
What Platte County Farm
ers Say.
This is to certify; That I have been
feeding Standard Food to 100 young
pigs and their mothers about six weeks
and I am entirely satisfied with the
result. The pigs are growing fast and
are smooth, and eat well.
F. J Stenc.er. !
I can truly say that I have bewi fed-;
ing Standard Food to my hogs with ,
good results. It increased their appe- j
iiie. anu mey are nii.v uuiug which ueiier
than before. I shall feed it to my fat
tening hogs, and intend to keep it on
hand all the time.
Herm. Gerber.
Six weeks ago I decided to buy 100
pouuds of Standard Food for my hogs
and young pigs. I am glad to say all
my pigs are doing first class. I had two
pigs, more than a year old. that never
done any good before. After I com
menced to feed the Standard Food they
began to change their color from red to
black and put on llesh fast. I am satis
fied with the repnlts and I think Stan
dard Food should lm kept on every
farm. Jacob Scewaxk.
I have been feeding Standard Food
according lo directions, for growing and
fattening purposes. The first thing I
noticed was an increased appetite, then
passing of worms, then a shedding of
hair. The pigs and sows are now doing
splendid, and they have a healthy look
ing appearance. The Food is un
doubtedly a good article.
W. H. SWABTSLET.
I can truthfully state that I ne.ver
had sows to hold their rlesh as well as
they have this summer, and never had a
bunch of pigs that I was as well satis
fied with, as the lot I have raised this
snmmer, and I give Standard Food the
credit. O. D. Butler.
Meine Schwine waren schlecht, als
Ich Standard Food zu fuettern begann.
Aber in kerzer Zeit war ihr Appetit so
gross, dass Ich bald die Wirkung sah,
indem die Schweine glattes Haar beka
mea nnd gut zunahmen. Das Food ist
sehr werthvoll, nnd Ich halte es immer
vorraethig. Ara. Hcssiiax.
I have used Standard Food for seve
ral years for horses. I find it is the best
tiesh producer I ever nsed. It not only
puts on flesh fat bnt it makes the animal
sleek and lively with strong appetites, T
am feeding now to my pigs with the
same resnlts. W. D. KrxzEorAX.
We have been feeding Standard
Food to sow3 and pigs for about six
weeks. Some oT the sows had been run
down and would not eat well. After
nsing the Food theirappetites improved,
and doing now better than we expected.
We have also used the Food on horses
who were sick with distemper and found
it to be not only a Food, but also a rem-

I have fed Standard Food for sev
eral years, and can truthfully say that
my hogs are doing better by feeding
that food than any other thing I have
ever fed. Standard Food is the proper
thing for a farmer to feed to horses,
fattening steers, milk cows, calve3, colts,
hogs and chickens. R. W. Yocxo.
I have been feeding Standard Food
to about o piga, and I find that they
are gaining very fast. I also found that
the Food will expel worms. Standard
Food is all right. W. F. Browner.
