erence to the contest.

The Journal's valued correspond
ent from District 44 is a practical farmer,
and has some valuable suggestions to
make in this week's letter. One of Platte
county's pioneer farmers (Hon. Michael
Maher, lately deceased) was in the habit
of carrying with him a pocket diary, in
which he noted the important day's
transactions, and before retiring at night,
entered them in the proper booTu of
account. He has told us that the habit
saved him hundreds of dollars, and much
valuable time.
The city was visited Saturday morn
ing by one of the jolliest old traveling
men The Journal reporter has seen in

blither, freer and more frolicsome than
an ordinary boy of ten. He made his
round among the houses in his line of
trade, early in the forenoon of Saturday
morning, drifted into the Clother bouse,
and said he was ready to spend the
remainder of the day and the next with
George Scott, the proprietor. He looked
to us as though long years ago he had
seen the utter uselessness and folly of a
life consisting of the riot of the passions,
and he concluded that, so far as he was
concerned, his life should be one of
health, contentment, qukt and rational,
orderly enjoyment

The late Patrick Gleason who died
Dec. 13, 1897, was one of the oldest
settlers in Platte county. He was born
in the Connty Kerry, Ireland, came to
America in 1849. He lived in the south
ern and eastern states until 1857 when
he came to Platte connty and established
the home wherein he died. Mr. Gleason

At a meeting of the W. Y. Bissell
hose team Monday night there were six
teen answered to roll call, which is a
good showing as there are but eighteen
members in the company. The city
council should be proud of such an or
ganization. After regular business was
transacted, election of officers was held
which resulted as follows: Foreman.Wm.
Mitchell; assistant foreman, Fritz J.
Gregorius; secretary, W. J. Gregorius;
treasurer, A. B. Miller. Eight ballots
were taken for delegates to the State
Firemen's convention to be held at
Kearney January 18-20 and Will J.
Gregorius came out winner. George
Schram was elected alternate.
This is the season of the year when
poultry literature seems to be at a pre
mium. When the egg basket is halt the
time empty, and every egg you get is a
nice fresh one, and the price of a dozen
eggs is greater than that of a bushel of
corn, then why may we not grow enthu
siastic in behalf of the dutiful hen? But
the fellow who has succeeded in coaxing
his hens into the notion of giving him a
plentiful supply of eggs at this season of
the year is the best satisfied of all. And
yet it is largely a simple matter of how
to manage the hens in the winter. They
want to be given nice dry and clean
quarters, shut out from wind and storm
at night, a roomy place for exercise
through the day, an egg producing
ration, and never let go thirsty for water.
In short give the bens nearly as you can
(.summer conditions and they will give
yon a good fair supply of eggs all the
winter throush without raoard to tha
cold. Nebraska Fanner.
Judge Kilian, yesterday forenoon, gave
his decision in favor of the incumbents,
G. W. Phillips and John Byrnes, who,
respectively, hold the certificates of elec
tion from the canvassing board.
The substance of the judge's holding
was that under the circumstances accom
panying the ballots from the time of
their deposit until their opening by the
court; considering that the law had not
been generally complied with as to
stringing the ballots, sealing them up,
etc, eta, the election returns as made by
the judges and clerks of election were
better evidence than the ballots, of the
will of the voters.
We are not advised as to an appeal
from the connty judge's decision.
As was apprehended, there is great
dissatisfaction at the situation of things.
An appeal, a trial involving all the lights
and side-lights of the case may change
this decision, but however the result
raav be, it is not primarily a question of
what persons win, as that the wrongs
committed against the ballots be shown
where they properly belong.
Good citizens will unite, irrespective
of party, in demanding a thorough inves
tigation by a grand jnry.
Let us, at least, have the privilege of
doing our own voting.
Election Frauds.
The results of the recount of the bal
lots in the election contest now going on
at Columbus are already sufficient to
show that a great fraud has been perpe
trated upon the voters of Platte connty.
The discrepencies between the official
returns and the showing made by the
ballots' are too glaring to have been the
result of mistakes on the part of the
election boards. The fraud has been
perjetrated in one of two ways either
the ballots have been tampered with
while in the custody of the county clerk,
or members of precinct election boards
purposely made wrong returns in favor
of certain candidates in counting the
ballots and making up the poll books.
The indications are that the latter was
the course pursued. It is now impera
tive that the matter be sifted to the bot
tom and all means exhausted to ascer
tain who are the guilty parties and send
them to the penitentiary, where they be
long. We are loth to believe that any
one connected with the county clerk's
office, or that any of the members of the
various election boards throughout the
connty, is guilty of any such an heinous
crime, but the crime has been committed
and the perpetrators must be hunted
down. Let no guilty man escape.

District 44 aa Vkiaity.
Charles Hoagland of Colfax passed
here Thursday in quest of hogs.
George Drinnin and John Hessler were
helping Sam Drinnin husk corn last week
on the M. K. Turner farm.
The roads were very icy and rough
last week, and by Friday they became so
rough that it was almost a sin to drive a
barefooted horse on the public road.
Plessie Drinnin is in Colfax assisting
her sister, Mrs. Stevenson, in doing the
house work, while the latter is caring
for her little children. While there
Plessie is attending school in that dis
trict, where she will remain a month.
George Mentzerof Colfax was taken
over the hills to the poor farm, in Platte
county, by his wife where they spent a
most delightful Christmas day with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Butler.
George is teaching district school a mile
east of the county line.
The New Year put in a bright day. A
few of the families invited their relatives
and friends to assist in dissecting the
National bird, while Mr. and Mrs. John
Currie provided a large dinner on that
day and invited their relatives to par
ticipate in the festivities.
It is astonishing to see with what pre
cision the average Nebraskan can pass
through a barbed wire fence, as com
pared with a man from the east. From
observation we learn that the easterner
will take a few stepd each way, parallel
with the fence, then put his head down
and make the attempt to go through
only to be caught both above and below.
Did some one say, what can I do to
advance the spring work on the farm
when the rush comes? We will tell how
we expect to save a few days work in the
busy spring. This week we will look
over our large harrow, which in the fall
had some broken bolts, others nearly
worn out, and chain links for same worn
out and repaired with barbed wire. We
will then look over the cultivators, the
stirring plows, the single and double
trees, and all of the implements that
might possibly be out of good repair,
take tho bad or broken parts to the shop
for repairs. Neither will we forget the
plow- shares. In the altove plan we con
sider two advantages: having the work
done in mid-winter, it will not cost so
much as if left until 6pring, and then wo
have them all in good repair and ready
for use, when the spring work should
begin, and no time lost.
Within tho last week we have made
arrangements so that we can furnish to
our readers tho Chicago Weekly Inter
Ocean and Columbus Journal, when
paid in advance, at $1.75. tf
To Chicago and the East.
Passengers goingeast for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. All classes of passen
gers will find that tho "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee k St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs k Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee k St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with tho proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trains of all tho great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.
A. Nash, General Agent, Omaha, Neb.
ALL WOMEN
Jme-forms of
all the pain
andsicknessfrom
which women
suffer is caused
by weakness or
derangement in
the organs of
menstruation.
Nearly always
when a woman is not well these
organs are affected. But when
they are strong and healthy a
woman is very seldom sick.
WineiM
Is nature's provision for the regu
lation of the menstrual function.
It cures all " female troubles." It
is equally effective for the girl In
her teens, the young wife with do
mestic and maternal cares, and
the woman approaching the period
known as the " Change of Life."
They all need it. They are all
benefitted by it
