We are told by one of the other kind who is well posted in such matters that Ouy C. Barnum is the only middle-of-the-road populist known in Platte coun ty. The Nebraska First has two pets: "America," a beautiful golden eagle pre sented in Lincoln by William Jennings Bryan, and "Sampson," a cute little baby wolf. It is said that Gov.

Three trains of South Dakota Vol unteers bound for San Francisco passed through the city between midnight and 3 o'clock Monday morning. We did not learn what regiment it was or who was in command. It will be a good thing for the rail roads and the public alike if passenger fare is reduced to two cents a mile or even to one cent. The increased travel, in our opinion, would abundantly and quickly justify the latter rate. The Woman's Relief Corps is accu mulating an emergency fund, so as to be able to answer calls for relief, of depend ent members of the families of volun teers, or for securing hospital necessaries and delicacies for the sick and wounded.

It is very seldom that Mr. Hughes gets this far away from home and was surprised to find such a lively town in this end of the county. Humphrey Democrat.

Dale, the 13 year old son of Mrs. Tillie Secord, was drowned in the slough near the B. ft M. railroad bridge, Monday afternoon of last week.

Married, Thursday evening, at the residence of the bride's parents in this city, John B. Tschndy and Miss Bertie Dussell, Rev. Rogers officiating. They have the best wishes of their many friends in the city. The happy couple were tendered a serenade by the drum corps, of which the groom is a member, and were handsomely entertained. There may be, naturally enough, some difference of opinion as to how Germany stands with regard to the war between this country and Spain, but there can be no question aa to the atti tude of citizens of German descent in this country; they are Americans,' and are for the land of their adoption. They understand the real issues involved.

There are more persons than the writer of this who could learn a thousand laterestiag and profitable facts from Uncle John. There is a case in, the district court, the'trial of which will begin this (Tues day) afternoon or Wednesday morning, that will elicit more than the usual in terest. It is brought by tho widow of John C. Rogers of Butler county, who seeks to recover $10,000 from her de ceased husband's brother of Madison, Wisconsin, being the amount of a life policy which he held in the Equitable Life Association of the United States, a New York company. C. W. Pearsall was in town Satur day and Sunday. Speaking of the Trans-Mississippi exposition be said that he thought the only effect that the war excitement would have on the great show would be to bring many eastern people here to see it who otherwise would not come. He means those who usually visit other countries in the sum mer time; be believes that they will naturally come to Omaha instead of going abroad. The total rainfall for the month of May up to last Saturday night, accord ing to the government rain guage kept by O. C. Gray, was &08 inches. This amount is far more than double the average for May in other years, and is three times the amount of some seasons. Streams have not been flooded to any great extent and all the water has gone into the soil, which is no doubt in shape to withstand a long drouth, should there possibly hsppen to be one. The express messenger on Union Pacific No. 1 Friday telegraphed back here that a crate containing two pigs which was being carried on the ear plat form had become broken and the pigs escaped. He could hot tell just where they had jumped off, but the section men found one of them Saturday morn ing about a mile east of town. It was badly injured in the back and will prob ably die. They were valuable young stock. The other one has not been heard from. An interesting scene was enacted in the supreme court Monday. The friends of Col. JohnG.Maher, Platte Center, were there to witness what, in the life of the totter, is regarded as an important event. CoL Maher was admitted to the practice of the supreme court. That which lent additional interest to the cer emony is that he was dressed in the uni form of a private in the ranks of the United States army. He was congratu lated by his many friends in the state house. Telegram. The Platte county Sunday School convention is to be held at Monroe June 16 and 17. The association will doubtless be very interesting to those in attend ance. The Columbus folks taking part are Snpt Williams, Rev. Hayes, Elder Hudson, Mrs. Chambers, Mrs, Warren, Rev. Weed, Alice Watkins, Rev. Mickel, Bessie Sheldon, Minnie Becker, Emil von Bergen and C. A. Lindstrom; the others: Fannie Weeks, H. O. Studley, B. H. Pollock, C. W. Talbitzer, Rev. Shnman and J. A. Douglas. A. M. Jennings writes to a friend here that he expects to enlist with his Uncle Samuel as a "Mewl Whacker," if nothing else offers. He has signed his name with others who are getting up a company of ex-Federal and ex-Confederate soldiers at Fitzgerald, Georgia, but will go the way the first opportunity offers. His son Boy belongs to Co. H, First Georgia Infantry. His regiment is at Griffin, Ga,; it is made up of the sons of ex-Federal and ex-Confederate soldiers a combination that thirty years ago would not have been thought of. John D. Hoover of Battle Creek now languishes in the county jail, all because he knocked out "government by injunc tion" with a Winchester rifle. Hoover was formerly the owner of the Battle Creek mill, which was purchased by HughHerbisoB under foreclosure pro ceedings. When Herbison took possess ion Hoover claimed that the water right did not go with the property and would not allow the water to be tamed into the race. Aa order was issued by the dis trict ceurt restraiaiag Hoover from in terfering with the water power, but ths was disregarded with the above result. Norfolk Journal.

R The committee had done their work very effeotaally, seeuung to leave not a Uing to be desired. The grounds of the High eehool building, west side, had been prepared by the erection of a speskera platform under the trees near the west walk, while a bank of plank seats occupied the north section, aad on these ware arranged children of the public schools- representisg the three colors of "CM Glory," the red, white aad Una: To the right of the speaker plat form were plank seats, for the aecommo datioB of the throag, while in front were seats for the Catholic school children with their teachers. The aatioaal colors ware strung from tree to tree, aad pic tures of Liaoola, Wsshiagtoa aad Grant adorned the scene. The services lasted an hour and a half and from, the timethe Shell creek band was heard, signifying, that the veterans and sobs of veteraas were coming, until the march was- taken up for the ceme tery, all who oould see or listen were interested in the exercises. The program, as heretofore published in Tub JotmNAi. was strictly carried out, after reading of orders by CoL Meagher and prayer by Chaplain Brock. The recitations were given by Charles Woos ley. Cora, Price, Donald Mo AI lister, Marguerite McKelvey, Pauline Elias, Elsie Johnson, Louise Marty, Nora Hat field, Elise Brugger and Frank Beoher; the songs: "Star Spangled Banner;" "Columbia:" "America," by the publio schools; sad ."We Desk Their Graves Alike Today," by St Francis Academy, all doing their parts admirably well. The address of Commander Galley was listened to with- marked attention. It waa a model of brevity and earnestness: Referring to the services he said they deepen in' our hearts a memory of our brave and our beloved who went forth in manhood's prime to defend and keep intact that heritage which was handed down by the forefathers as a home for the oppressed of all nations. Of an army of over two million brave men, three hundred and nineteen thousand are laid in the national cemeteries, and one hun dred and forty-seven thousand of these are lain in unknown graves. We meet today to speak words of comfort to the widow and the fatherless, and one little flower dropped on a father's or a broth er's grave is a comfort to some one. The small flag shows, some patriot lies be neath that mound of clay. Memorial day instills in the minds of these little ones the love of patriotism; it teaches them to love and revere that flag with its beautiful stars and stripes, for which their fathers suffered untold hardships and privations, that they might leave it with not one star dimmed on its bright folds. Soon these com rades will pass away; not many years will we be with you to scatter flowers on the graves of our dead; each year finds some new grave in that silent city, of one who marched in our ranks one year ago, and to whom the beat of the drum will be heard no more, and on yon, the sons and daughters of veterans, must soon fall the duty of this Memorial day, and we feel that we are placing it in loyal and patriotic hands, and may you hand down to your posterity the flag which your fathers bore, with its stars and stripes still as bright as the noon-day sun. .-. He lefrred-'briefly to the war now be ing waged in the cause of humanity to drive from our very shores a power that has oppressed its own people and has starved to death over 200,000 men, wo men and children within the last two years, and whobytheir treachery took the Uvea of over two hundred and fifty of our gallant sailor boys in tune of peace. The address closed with these words: Wnen we deposit our floral tributes upon the graves of our, beloved dead, let us give one thought to that innumerable company of our comrades whose bodies lie among the unknown dead, who are standing on the other shore, though in visible, and rejoicing, with us in the glo rious heritage they gave their lives to se cure. 0 Liberty, at what a cost, eter nal vigilance to maintain! against tyr anny, treachery and inhumanity we are thy foes. The address for the firemen was made by W. A. McAllister and was a fitting tribute to the memory of those who were ready to defend their homes at the peril of their lives. The usual services at the cemetery and decoratings of the graves closed the exercises of the day, which will long be remembered by those who were present. If there is anything on earth that tries the patience of ordinary mortals it is to be constantly harassed by big, double-fisted able-bodied fellows appearing at the back door and begging the female portion of the household- for grub. Today there is no necessity for anything of the kind and when an able-bodied man asks charity of you he deserves to be arrested as a vag rant and suffer penalty ss such.- Labor is in demand and they are not forced to beg. It is a matter of choice with them and they deserve -no charity, and when you bestow it you are simply countenan cing and encouraging a class of profess ional loafers that expect to live at the ex pense of their industrious fellows. Let the "back-door hand-outs" cease, and the tramp nuisance will abate. Wayne Re publican. BesaSale.

Early potatoes are just putting out bloom. M. Casein was out this wayMoaday aad bought those three fat aad sleek steers that Jos Drinaia has been feeding since October tost. Mike says one of them goes on the block Tuesday morn ing. We learn that the officers of Colfax and Platte counties are shadowing a second person whom they believe aa accomplice in the shipping of the Oehl rich cattle to Omaha aad placing them on the market last week Farmers southeast of this place com plain about the water being so high on their low land adjoining Lost creek that they cannot yet get onto it to plant, and if the water does not soon recede they will lose the use of the land for this sea son. Platte river was quite bieh last week, but kept within its banks. In taking observations of the manner of farm work this spring in this imme diate neighborhood we find that the persons who plowed early for corn and kept the harrow going until planting. and are now harrowing the third time since planting, have fully convinced us that they have a cinoh on the core crop. Others have greener fields but weaker corn. Therefore, keep the barrow clean, and harrow. The amount of rainfall at this place last week was remarkable, amounting to about 2?4 inches in three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, which nearly- put a stop to farm work in fields, for the remainder of the week, and weeds, my! The fields of corn are looking green with them while deciduous fruits ore making rapid strides to formation. During Fri day, the wind shifted to northwest and that night, we were very near f roet. At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 21st, the west gable of the new house of Fred Luckey, jr., was struck by lightning, which started a fire in the garret. The flame increased, and there being no ac cess to the garret, Fred scaled the roof with axe in hand and chopped a hole through the shingles where, with a few buckets of water, he soon had the fire under control. The building was in sured, and in due time he will recover damages. One day last week Sam Drinnin shot and killed two full-grown badgers that had been preying on Mrs. Drinnin's poultry. There are also in the ravines some wolves that have been very annoy ing to the farmers hereabouts; young sucking pigs have been missing, one each night until whole litters have been taken, and last Sunday some boys with spadeb undertook to dig out some of the young cubs, when the old wolves put in an appearance and the boys set their dogs upon them but the wolves chased the dogs as soon as they were away from the boys. There were no young ones found in the burrow, but a large number of young pig skins and chicken feathers were found. a. In our advertising columns will be ionnd.an announcement otJEx-Senator. John J. Ingalls' forthcoming book, enti tled "America's War for Humanity." Canvassing agents will find it a book of remarkable interest, and certainly of ex traordinary salability. The history of the war is told in picture and story, and in a way that always characterizes the brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls. In nar rating the incidents of this war he finds grand scope (or his .superb descriptive and analytical powers. The theme is worthy of the author, and the author is worthy of the theme. It is published by N. D. Thompson Publishing Co., of St. Louis, Ma It will be a monumental work that will not only be everywhere read, but it will be a monument to his genius that will outlive in history his brilliant senatorial career. The sub scription book trade and the canvassing agent are fortunate in the fact that an author of such rare ability has been en listed in its interest. There seems a tendency in some of the schools of Nebraska to ape the east ern colleges as to hazing, and it ought to meet with public condemnation, at once and forever. The boys or girls who so far forget themselves and what is due their fellow-pupils in the public, free schools, should be so strongly reminded of duty that they will not be apt to for get it. A so-called accident happened recently in a camp of recruits, where it was the custom to toss up in a blanket the latest recruits. Several such had been badly bruised, but in the case re ferred to one of the tossers accidentally dropped a corner of the blanket and the subject fell, fracturing a shoulder-blade and laying him up in hospital for four weeks. The American people are among the most active, vigorous and ardent lovers of outdoor sports in the world, says an exchange, but they desire that their sports shall all be pure and elevating to those who engage in them as partici pants or mere spectators. Whatever is necessary to purify outdoor sports, to restrain the vicious and evil minded, while allowing the utmost freedom for the display of physical skill, will have their approval. There is nothing in out door sports nor in athletics in general that is of itself degrading. Only through the agency of those who are devoid of true snorting instincts do otherwise wholesome games become injurious to the morals of the people. NOTICE.
