City Treasurer Frank Wurdeman
makes his report regularly at the first
meeting of the city council each month,
of the transactions of the prior month.
It is the duty of the council to "cause to
be published semi-annually, a statement
of the receipts of the corporation and
sources thereof, and an itemized account
of expenditures." We have not seen the
current semi-annual statement, but Wur
deman is all right.
No one doubts Henry Huntemann's
ability to count in the money due the
county; keep every cent of it as provi
ded by law; pay and count out to those
entitled to receive from the county
treasury and then, make report of the
same in strict compliance with law, to
the taxpayers of the county. The ser
vice of the public is one thing official
bossism is an eutirely different thing,
and Henry is no boss.

an audience and was very exciting.
They played at Fremont Monday, tying

As we understand it, Judge Kilian
has transacted a great deal more busi
ness in his office than any one of his
predecessors during the same time;
there can be no question by anybody
who knows anything about the affairs
of the office, that everything about it
is kept in first-class order under Judge
Kilian. He takes pride in keeping his
office, and more especially the records,
.....
clean and neat. He is entitled to a re
election. We notice the following among the
appointments made by the North Ne
braska conference, Grand Island district,
Monday morning; D. K. Tindall, presi
ding elder. Cedar Rapids, J. P. Yost;
Clarks, li. C. McReynolds; Columbus,

Henry Gass, the undertaker, met
with an accident Monday forenoon that
may lay him up for awhile. In getting
out of his wagon his watch chain caught
on the seat, putting him in such a posi
tion that he was helpless to hold his
team; he was thrown to the ground,
and both bones of the left leg were frac
tured about midway between knee and
ankle, the break being diagonal and
rather ugly for quick healing. He was
immediately taken home and cared for.
No serious consequences are anticipated.
Henry Huntemann, the republican
candidate for county treasurer, was born
in Germany in 1858, and moved to Amer
ica 1879, living in Platte county ever
since, working most of the time at the
carpenter trade. In 1889 he moved to
tho city erecting a planing mill. In the
fall of 93 fire destroyed the planing mill
and the next Bpring Mr. Hunteman re
moved to his farm in Sherman township,
where he has since lived. Mr. Huntemann
is a thoroughly honest, industrious man,
and deserves your vote for the office of
treasurer.

Saturday a misfortune happened to
a man from St. Edward, who was on his
way to Fremont to get a load of apples.
Some stranger was riding with him and
smoking; he got out at Mr. Hippie's, and
soon after it was discovered that the hay
in the wagon was on fire. Although he
did his best, he was unable to put the
fire out, and by the time he reached Mrs.
Erb'a corner, everything was consumed
except horses, front trucks, wagon seat
and neck-yoke. The man's hands were
quite badly burned. He also lost his
grip and extra clothing in the fire.

Tuesday of lost week Roy Johnson

H. P. Coolidge, who is out here from
Columbus, Neb., visiting his two sons,
Charley and Bert, says he was in Colo
rado during the early days, and is pretty
familiar with the traits and characteris
tics of a mining camp. He is consider
ably interested in mining machinery,
and finds that vast improvements have
been made, particularly in the stump
process since he was n mining man.
Lead and tho surroundings remind him
of tho early days in Colorado, and he is
consequently much pleased with the
country because of the associations that
ore recalled. Call, Lead, S. D.
General interest in the subject of al
uminum has led the American Monthly
Review of Reviews to publish the first
complete account of the discovery of the
American process for the reduction of al
uminum by electrolysis. The story of
this discovery (which resulted in bring
ing down the price of the metal from $10
to 35cents a pound) and its subsequent
application iu manufacturing on n com
mercial scale is one of the most interest
ing chapters in the recent annals of A
merican industrial progress. It is ano
ther instance of the triumph of Yankee
ingenuity and energy, America now
makes as much aluminum in a year as
all the countries of Europe together.
P. H. Bender, the republican candi
date for sheriff, was born in Germany, I
June 24, loot, tie came to this country
with his parents when be was two years
old, they making their home in Marshall
county, Illinois. Phil, came to Platte
county years ago, buying 160 acres of
land in Humphrey township, near Cres
ton, where he lived and farmed for two
years. He then sold, moved into Hum
phrey, where he engaged in business,
general merchandise, for some nine
years. At present, he is in the agricul
tural implement business. The criminal
that he gets after had better give right
up. Mr. Bender will make a first-class
sheriff.
Sup't Williams will make, for all of
Platte county, as good a superintendent,
we dare say, as any county will have,
anywhere. He is a man who attends
strictly to the business in hand, giving
it therefore his best thought, attention
and care, and all of these, not slighting
in any particular. The public schools
of Platte county need services of this
kind. The teachers in immediate chargs
of the schools will have kindly, helpful
advice and counsel from Mr. Williams.
The advancement of the children ac
cording to the true intent of the law
will be the guiding rule of his conduct,
and the teachers who are animated by
the same spirit will find it a delightful
task to follow his directions and advice.
Voters of Platte county, you have the
opportunity of a life-time to elect a man
who will use his best endeavors to
make your public schools all they ought
to be, a man of experience, thoroughly
able and competent in every respect.

Saturday, a telegram to the Omaha
Bee from Schuyler gave particulare of a
fearful tragedy ut the home of Frank
Davis in Shell Creek precinct, Colfax
county, nine miles northwest of Schuyler.
Dr. Sixta was called for by Frnnk Steinad
and found four of the seveu children in
the family and their mother dead, a fifth
child iu a dying condition and a sixth
very sick. Mr. Davis and his oldest son
went to the field to work early in the
morning, leaving before the rest of the
family breakfasted. When the meal
waB prepared all sat down and early in
the course of tho meal Mrs. Davis made
some such remark as: "Eat a good break
fast and we'll all go together. An older
son's mind was affected by the remark
to the extent that he did not appease
bis appetite. A daughter, younger than
the son, after drinking about a half cup
of coffee, became sick and vomited.
The rest of the family continued tho
morning meal, although the children
made very wry faces and said the coffee
did not taste good. Strychnine had lteen
put into the coffee which soon showed
its effects when those not prostrated
spread the alarm, but not soon enough
to avoid the fatal effects noted. No
cause for'a the rash act of the unnatural
mother is assigned.
