The amounts paid out were: for transparen cies $8; printing $60; powder $1.25; entertaining two bands $6.00; miscellan eous $&90. The committee, Messrs Fitzpatrick, Kramer and Gray (C.C.X deserve great credit for their efficient management. The Howells Journal publishes an item of news that emphasizes the im portance of every one doing his shooting on his own farm, rather than on that of some one else: "On Thursday of last week Michael Cloughsey, who is work ing the Carieton place, had ten acres of oats in the shock destroyed by fire. It is supposed that the fire was accident ally started by some boys who were out hunting." Dewey, the little three-months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones, was found dead in its bed Friday morning. The cause of its death is not known, as the child seemed apparently in good health. In the absence of Rev. Mickel, Bev. Rogers conducted the funeral ser vices in the M. E. church Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, after which the body was interred in the cemetery. Other places have trouble too. The marshal at Brainard was taken into cus tody recently by the sheriff of the county upon complaint of a man whom he had beaten over the head with his billy. It seems that the man was intox icated, but that the marshal, without any previous words or arrest, began the use of his club. The case was postponed. Winnie J. Taylor, a nephew of C. S.

Lewis Dye of Merrick county had a monstrosity pig born on his farm. It lived but a few minutes after birth. It had a perfectly formed head, but from the neck back, there were two distinct bodies with legs and organs developed. The Nonpariel remarks that it is a queer freak of nature, but such things are not unknown in Nebraska, where we have political parties with only one head and three bodies. Stand up for Nebraska. Mr. Barnum has lost quite a number of ducks, hogs and even cattle from the stray or from the intentional shots of hunters on his place. The following paragraphs from the Nebraska Farmer will doubtless meat the views of all con siderate resident land-owners in the settled part of Nebraska: "No hunting" notices need not be put up. No hunter has rights on land not his own. A strange man with a gun should be treated as any enemy, and any man with a gun should be recognized as a stranger. F. M. Weitzel of Albion gave a re port of the National Christian Endeavor convention that waa recently held in I Nashville, at the Congregational church, Sunday evening, the Presbyterian and Congregational societies uniting in the services. The report was very interest ing, coming ss it did from the Dixie land, daring war times when the north and south are again united. Special se lections of music were given, Miss Florence Gleason, Mead times Gear, Whitmoyer and Gleason singing a quar tet and Miss Eulalia Bickly a solo. One, of Platte connty'a most intelli gent and enterprising young farmers and stock-raisers has a right good scheme in his head, which, if he gets it materialized, will prove a source of sat isfaction, at least, and eventually of profit. He purposes feeding grain to bogs, on dry plank instead of in. the dust and mud, and at the same time have the plank do duty as a roof .or shelter from the heat of Miner and the eeidef winter.

Miss Routson is a Columbus girl, and for the past few years has been making,her home with her aunt. Mis. Early. Mr. Hake was formerly with the U. P. company here, and is now one of the guards on the Trans-Mississippi J gouunds. The wedding came as a sur prise to., the young folks' friends here but they have the very best wishes of all their acquaintances. One of the most remarkable exhi bitions the world has ever seen is in progress at Omaha, and will remain open during the summer and autumn. The Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition is an extraordinary evidence of American energy and culture in the newest section of the Union. Five years have been spent in preparing for it, and the sum of $3,000,000 expended to place it on the level of great expositions. The grounds cover 200 acres, and in addition to the ten immense general structures are .fifteen state buildings filled with the treasures of industry and art. An elaborate government display occupies a grand hall erected at a cost of 120000. The immense grounds are beautified in the most liberal and taste- Iful manner. A visit to the Omaha ex position is a necessary part of. the ana rsersauon. JaMee. The psxad was a typical western idea and perfectly devoid of aay formality or dignity. Wageas with hay ladders of all descriptions were famished to all who cared to ride and the tin pans and horns filed the air with blatant sounds of rejoicing. The honored city council were in the parade as some one remark ed they represented the rough riders they had a rough ride on a hay rack. The Shell Creak band and drum corps tarnished music while the Sons of Veter ans and firemen also marched In the parade. The speaking was in front of the Com mercial bank, Mayor Fitxpatrick mak ing brief remarks of welcome, saying that we are all glad that pesos has come. A short 'time since we were as sembled to speed Co. K. on their way, and ws will stand ready to welcome them home again. W. A. McAllister drew some word pictures of "the war and said that America-had in- a very short time be come pre-emineot in war, as they had before been in' psacsv and there is no reason why we should not extend to other lands some of the privileges we ourselves enjoy. Carl Kramer said we celebrate not only the Fourth of July and St. Pat rick's day, but also Fitzpatrick'sday. Our president, .has done the right thing st the right time. We are proud of our Co. JL and all that the noble men of the army and navy have done in the contest. One of W. N. Hensley's thoughts was I that we had licked Spain in 112. days, and now we would be licking revenue stamps two years to pay expenses. S. C. Gray said the war was a revela tion to this country itself, as well as to Europe that America, had lost none of the ability, or the love for liberty that characterized the fathers of, the repub lic. The civil war was for the down trodden among us, and this war was for the down-trodden-of other countries. J. M. Gondring thought we had a serious problem of statesmanship on our hands in the management of affairs aa they have come to us. Col. Whitmoyer said that one Dewey morning of last May the battle began, and another morning in July when Cer vera came out of the harbor on the Schley, the war virtually closed. While it was short it taught great lessons, es tablished great facts and accomplished great things'. A. M. Post believed that we should keep all that had been conquered by our army and navy. Wherever our flag bad been planted, it should not be taken down. D. B. Duffy denounced the idea of an alliance between America and England, or with any monarchy. The policy of Washington of no entangling alliances is good enough for us. We rejoice over peace and the early return of the sol dier boys to homes, wives and sweet hearts. The Beys at Manila. Next to the usually brief, terse dis patches of the commanding generals, there is nothing in the way of war liter ature that interests so much as letters from the boys who are doing, each in his way, the work assigned. The local press of Nebraska is begin ning to receive these unassuming miss ives. We take some items from such letters, in the last Fullerton News; We see parts of about a dozen war ships that Dewey destroyed. He surely did the" thing up brown. This island abounds in chickens. The days are hot till three o'clock, but on thb boat it is cool in the evenings. We camp in a bamboo thicket or forest. The English from the English squad ron are very friendly over here to the 'Americans; but the Germans would like to pitch in, but they are afraid. I do not look for any great slaughter of men, as the Spanish soldiers cannot hit a barn. The folks have received a letter from Charles Miner, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Miner, under date of July 21, from which we are permitted to gather: We have landed and are in camp a mile and a half from Manila. The in surgents had quite a battle yesterday morning, when we landed. Everything here is heathenish. Hous es, horses and boats are of the old heathen style. The natives are a queer people something of the Malay race, with all kinds and sorts of. race diseases including leprosy. Out in the bay, where we lay awhile before coming ashore, the stench from the dead Spanish of the sunken fleet was fearful. Just after supper the lower half of a Spanish body came float ing by the Senator, and made about half the boys sick.- The Monterey is expected in tonight, and if she comes we will probably take Manila in a few days. I like the country; have good health, and feel like a fighting cock all the time. After giving the particulars of the taking of the Ladrones, he says that I they have not received any mail since they were at Honolulu. Witktk The following dispatch appeared the dailies of Monday under date in of August 21; from San Francisco: The Transport Arizona, with General Merriam and staff and about 1,300 troops, sailed for Manila via Honolulu just before noon. The Scandia. with another detachment of soldiers, will de part in a few days. It is understood that General Merriam i carries with him plans to construct barracks and hospitals for the troops at Honolulu, which post is now attached to the department of the Pacific, of which he is commanding officer. After the War. Ijr Camp ox Long Ltlasd, ) August 17, 1806. ) Deak Father asi Motheb: We ar rived here yesterday and are now en camped with many other regiments near the eastern point of the island. The entire camp is under quarantine regula tions on account of the possibility of yellow fever breaking out, but I do not think that there is any danger from this disease and all that the men require is rest and good food to restore them to health. I am feeling first rate and hope we will soon be sent to the post when I will st once make application for my discharge. Of course you are better in formed regarding the situation than L as I have not been able to get. a paper which was not at .least three weeks old. Have seen no paper since landing.

While the train was at the depot, two or three of them got off the train, and just as it started to pull out there was a commotion m the crowd, then a shriek and a sound like unto a horse pulling its hoof out of the mud, and then a wild scramble to board the train. Upon inquiry, our reporter was informed that somebody kissed somebody. There were several pretty girls in the crowd and several men, among whom were Ed. Spear and H. Riley, but whether they were either of them implicated, we were unable to learn, but if anything of this kind hap pens again, we shall feel it to be our duty to investigate the matter. Genoa Leader.

F. M. Fobd. Secretary. A to Wheat, sowing of winter Drill sowing of winter wheat is the foundation principle of success. Don't forget to harrow the wheat land each day as it is plowed; then harrow each week till seeding. It costs about five bushels yer acre average to seed wheat after wheat. It were wiser to have clover always follow the nitrogen-consuming wheat crop. Whoat farming is not a business to be taken up one jear and abandoned the next. The crop has a legitimate place in the rotation of mixed farming, and it should be grown each year without much reference to striking a favorable selling market Nebraska Farmer. o Oae Mooa4 Phase.

There will be a larger area of winter wheat sown in this township, this fall, than ever before in the history of Platte county. Sam Drinnin shipped an order of seed winter wheat last Saturday to-his uncle I t ftaWviro. Til- vr,m th aBt thJ farmers are getting tired of raising from 10 to 12 bushels of spring- wheat, to-the acre. Last Sunday afternoon Henry Seipp, who works for Jacob Bachman on the Rohde farm three miles northeast of the city, met with a very painful accident while spending the afternoon with an associate two miles north of where he works. They were fondling with a re volver and while in the hands of Henry it was accidentally discharged, the ball passing through his left fore finger and entering his left leg near the knee, lodging in the flesh. We learn that no bones were injured. The accident will lay him up for a few weeks, after which he will be as well as ever. We are having some very hot weather sinre the 15th. It was nothing unusual for thermometer to indicate 104 in the shade, part of last week. A few showers now, wonld please the farmer, as it would improve the pasture, whioh is getting short, and the flow of milk would increase also.

A. McAllister, of Columbus. Mr. McAllister is something of a campaigner and political sprinter himself, and those of the fusionists who think he is an easy mark were never worse mistaken in their lives. Mr. McAllister waa elected for representative from this county in 1882 and for state senator from this and Col fax counties in 1884. overcoming demo cratic majorities to get there. He is an able man in respect to his qualifications for the office to which he aspires. The democrats and populists will do well to take these things into consideration when they name a candidate for district judge, and name a man who will receive the harmonious support of all wings of the triple alliance, if they want to elect him. They can't win the fight with any old thing for a candidate. They must remember that in the campaign three years ago the republicans came near de feating Judge Sullivan and they can not find a more popular candidate among the reform forces than was Judge Sul- f Iivan. We believe John M. Gondring to be the strongest man they can same. It Is not what a manufacturer says about his own medicine that cures a patient, hut what the medicine does.
