The republican meeting announced
for the Ives school-house last Thursday
evening, was cancelled, because of diph

questions, and by W. J. Williams, the
republican candidate for superintendent
of schools, on educational subjects. All
made effective addresses.
W. T. Allen returned last week

Politics is becoming interesting. Two
years ago at Pleasant Hill he was told

the coming election, the republicans will
hold them a close rub.
Knights and Ladies of Security,
Columbus Council No. 549, met Satur
day evening last, in I. O. O. F. hall.
Nineteen new members were admitted.
Trustees were elected as follows: Mrs.
Prof. Williams, Warren A. Way and
Margaret M. Meagher. The officers
were not installed for want of time.
The Boor work was exemplified and all
had a good time. The council now has
72 charter members. The next meeting
will be Saturday evening, Oct. 30, when
the officers will be installed, and new
members admitted.
Judge Kilian has made a special
study of the probate law and is very
painstaking to have everything done ac
cording to law. For instance, the law
prescribes that notice to creditors
should not only be given four times in a
legal newspaper, but that four notices
should be posted in four public places
in the county. This has been overlooked
by all our other county judges. The
law also prescribes that a quarterly re
port of all fees received should be filed
by the county judge, but not in the his
tory of the county has this been done
before Judge Kilian's term.
The basis for a good, "new-woman
story was witnessed in one of the school
rooms of the city last Thursday. A poor
little, frightened mouse got into the room
which immediately caused a panic, not
that any one was afraid of it, but that the
mouse was so scared. One boy caught
and held it at arms length by the tail,
until the teacher, Miss calmly took the
little offender in her hand and gently
dropped it out of the window. Quiet
reigned supreme and the wonder was
intense for a few minutes. That teacher
by that act, although unconsciously, sa
ved for herself a good deal of talking.
Archer managed to keep up its rec
ord as an interesting place Monday by an
ail-night hunt for a lost child. Ed. Sul
livan's little 2I-year-old boy wandered
off into the cornfield, presumably in pur
suit of cat, and failing to find a way out,
made the field his resting place for the
night. About thirty men put in from
dark to daylight in a search for the miss
ing boy, but he was not discovered until
Tuesday morning, when Charley New
rayer found him in the field. The child
was pretty thoroughly numbed by the
cold, and in a semi-stupid state, but soon
recovered and is uow about over the evil
effects of his night's experience in a corn
field.
The county judge's office has been
kept up to the standard during the last
two years and many improvements made
by Judge Kilian. The records are kept
neat and clean, everything in perfect
order. All those who have had business
in the county court speak very highly of
the judge's qualifications and accommo
dating manner. When the people know
that an officer has done his duty during
one term, he is sure to be re-elected.
Judge Kilian has proved himself prop
erly qualified for this very important
office, has taken great pains to give sat
isfaction and will therefore be re-elected.
His opponent, Mr. Robison of Hum
phrey, is a very nice man, but lacks
essential qualifications for a good county
judge. Monroe Republican.
We refer again to what we have be
fore said about the records of Judge
Kilian's office, that the volume of busi
ness transacted in the county court is
about twice as large as at any previous
term of a judge, and yet all the docu
ments, important papers, records, etc.,
are in orderly neatness, and kept so, at
all times. The public who have had
occasion during Judge Kilian's term, to
transact business at the county court,
hare been waited upon promptly and
efficiently, either by the judge himself
or his able assistant, Miss Sheehan. He
will doubtless find improvements to
make during his second term also, and
the public can rest assured that the very
important business of the office will
have the best attention that the judge
knows how to bestow.
Prof. Williams, republican candi
date for county 6uperintendent,made us
a pleasant visit last Saturday. Mr.
Williams has many warm frieudsin this
part of the county, and will no doubt
receive a handsome vote. Creston
Statesman.
Sup't Williams has warm friends in
all parts of the county, and of course
will receive a handsome vote in Creston,
as elsewhere. There is no reason why
he should not be elected to the office.
His qualifications in every respect are
far superior to those of his opponent;
bis judgment more mature; his knowl
edge more full and accurate, and Platte
county will congratulate herself on his
selection as superintendent of our
schools. Don't take it for granted that
he will be elected without your vote,
but give him your ballot, and make -it
that more nearly unanimous.
The Sheep Banca.
The A. J. Knollin company have re
ceived their first shipment of sheep from
Idaho, 2910 head, and the ranch, by their
presence, begins to answer its design.
They certainly have very comfortable
quarters, and doubtless they appreciate
the situation, having come out of a snow
drift and traveled many miles to reach it.
Thursday, in company with Colonel
Meagher, we visited the ranch for the
first time. Mr. W. Messenger is the
gentleman in charge, and the entire
ranch is a scene of activity. C. A. Davis
is superintending the carpenter work,
and has rushed the improvements from
the start. Fifteen acres was the site at
first marked out, but six acres across
the road east have been added, and
yards laid out, and the erection of bins,
etc., begun. There are to be twenty
four bins, each bin holding 900 bushels.
It was expected that by Thursday even
ing all the bins would be full of grain.
As many as sixty-seven loads a day have
been bought, during the three weeks
since work began.
Besides the corn, oats and bran, about
four hundred tons of hay is in place
ready for feeding.
A wind mill with storage-tank, water
mains and pipes supplies water to every
yard on the place.
It is expected that after all the sheep
arrive, perhaps 25,000, some dozen men
will be needed as regular helpers at the
place, which is on the Gottschalk farm,
northeast of the city.
Sap't William.
The'Biographical History of Eminent
Men of Indiana gives a lengthy account
of William J. Williams, A. M., tho re
publican candidate for county superin
tendent of schools of Platte county,
from which we condense as follows: He
was born at Welsh Hills, Licking couu
ty, Ohio, June 4, 1S45. His father, John
Williams, was a native of Breconshire,
South Wales, and emigrated with his
parents to this country when 10 years of
age. The subject of this sketch was one
of eleven children. Until 10 years of age
he attended school continuously, but
after that period his lessons were limit
ed to a term of four months. At 12 he
began contributing to his own support,
and from that time on the money he ex
pended, whether in acquiring an educa
tion or in procuring the necessaries of
life, was the product of his own efforts.
At the age of 1G he taught a term of
district school, followed by attendance
on the Denison University. During his
connection with the university ho taught
six different terms to secure money to
continue his work. He graduated in
the scientific and classical course. He
engaged in teaching in which profession
he has had stead and remarkable suc
cess ever since.
JornxAi. readers are pretty well in
formed in regard to Mr. Williams' work
as superintendent of schools of this city.
Ho is held in universal respect and
esteem, and his administration of school
matters has been most excellent. School
officers, parents, teachers and pupils of
the public schools will find that under
Mr. Williams all the exacting duties of
tho position for which he has been
named, will bo discharged faithfully and
conscientiously, and with an ability
rarely equaled.

In Jleraoriam.
Of Ruby, only child of Mr. and Mrs.
C. C. Hardy, who died October 13, 1897,
aged 1 year, 9 months and 22 days:
Yes, little Ruby is dead! Her pure,
little Bpirit has gone to Him who said,
"Suffer little children to come unto
me." We gathered around the little
casket to look for the last time upon all
that was mortal. In its selfishness, the
heart cries out against what seems to us
a wrong, but as we look upon the little
frail form so still and beautiful in death,
tho spirit 6eems to say: Yours. Ruby,
was a glorions mission. Sent here, "a
little messenger from Paradise, to cause
the lamp of love to burn more brightly;
your errand done, yon bid us all good
by and go whence yon came. Your
presence was a joy on earth your ab
sence is a tie to heaven. Little Ruby,
so angelic, so fairy like in form, like'a
beam in darkness glittered all around
ns while here below, and sure we are she
is more radiant above.
It is thy hand, my God;
My sorrow comes from thee.
I bow beneath thy cliastening rod,
Tis love that bruises me.
Judge Kilian.
The Humphrey Democrat is a demo
cratic newspaper, is published where the
democratic and populist candidate for
county judge lives, but notwithstanding
these facts favors the re-election of
Judge Kilian as county judge the next
two years, and gives him high praise, as
a lawyer; as a keeper of the very impor
tant records of the office; as a judge
holding the impartial scales of jnstice
between the parties and persons inter
ested in matters of probate, and not as
an attorney for any of them; as the
trustee of estates in looking after the
bonds given by executors, administrators
and guardians, and seeing that they are
perfectly secure. "Everybody," says
the Democrat, "who has ever had occa
sion to do business with the County
Judge for the past two years knows and
realizes the fact that Judge Kilian is the
right man in the right place."

G. W. Phillips when clerk retained
for his assistants in the office for
1S90 $2100 00
1891 2100 00
1892 2500 00
1893 2T00 00
1694 23S7 50
1S95 2420 00
Mr. Pohl retained for assistants in
1S9G. S1920 and for three quarters of
1S97, $1470, and yet campaigners for
Phillips aro charging Pohl's administra
tion of the office as being expeneh'e in
assistants.
In each of the six years from "90 to "93
inclusive, Mr. Phillips received $200
($1200 in all) for preparing assessors'
booKs. and these amounts are not on the
fee book, but are extra allowances to
him. In 9G and "97 Mr. Pohl received
$100 each year, and placed the same on
the feo book.
In "92 to '9." inclusive, Phillips receiv
ed $102.50, an average of $40.02 each
year, for correcting assessors' books,
and did not place the same on the fee
book; also iu '93 and "95 for settlement
with township collectors $100 not put
on fee book.
For like service in "1M5 and "97 Mr.
Pohl received $30 and placed the same
on the fee book.
For correcting assessors' books Mr.
Pohl received but $100 for two years,
and placed the same on the fe book.
Taxpayers who have been in the
clerk's office may have noticed the road
map on the north wall Mr. Phillips
got $150 of the county for that.
Mr. Phillips received from the county
each year $4 for acting as county clerk
for commissioner on election returns,
while Mr. Pohl did that work and con
sidered it a part of his duty as county
clerk, without extra pay.
Pohl's administration has been far
more economical than that of Phillips.
K. I'ohl.
The Telegram, notwithstanding the
fact that it is not a republican paper,
but is democratic, gives its adherence to
E. Pohl for county clerk, and says:
"Now as to the present county clerk,
Mr. Pohl, No one can deny but what
he has been as efficient and faithful an
officer as ever attended to the business
of Platte county. He has been prompt
and courteous to all, and the office at
the present time is in such splendid
order that there could be no improve
ment. For these reasons, we believe, in
a spirit of fairness obscuring the politi
cal view entirely, Mr. Pohl is entitled to
a second term, and we further believe
the voters will look at it in the same
way, and give it to him.'

All for Bender.
We visited the northern portion of the
county the early part of this week and
found that the candidacy of P. H. Ben
der for sheriff had taken like wildfire.
All classes of citizens, regardless of
party, are enthusiastically for him. As
a matter of fact, Mr. Bender, besides
being a most popular gentleman, is
peculiarly fitted for the position of
sheriff on account of the leather he is
made of. Possessed of dauntless cour
age a very necessary essential for such
office he has at the same time a large
fund of common sense that will enable
him to act calmly and coolly under the
most trying circumstances. In short,
he is the very ideal of man to fill the
place, and we havo not the slightest
doubt but what he will be elected.
Columbus Telegram.
Jude Kilian.
"Now comes the most important office
in the county, that of county judge.
Even the enemies of the judge
and he, like all men of pronounced
character, has a few have to acknowl
edge that ho has made an excellent
officer; that his records- which are the
most valuable in tho county are models
in the way they aro kept. Aside from
all this, Judge Kilian is a good lawyer,
which is no small essential in tho office
he holds. No man, without some legal
training, can make a satisfactory custo
dian of the business of the widows and
orphans of the county."
A pretty good send-off for the demo
cratic Telegram that was about to take
no part in the campaign.

peevish? Does it fret and cry without
