the program deserved was listened to

devoted most of his time to raising
garden seeds and selling them; to the
growth of orchards; the sale of trees, etc,
naturally, he has taken greater delight
in work of that kind than any other, and
in this respect he has done business in
every state in the Union and also Cana
daalways true to name. The same
qualities that have served him thus, will
hold him to the work of a legislator,
true to the record he has made as a
Union soldier, as a citizen patriot a man
of progress. Give him your vote so
that he may vote for a republican for
United States senator, and thus support
the administration of William McKinley.
The new mail catchers that have
been placed along the U. P. line have
caused a great deal of trouble the past
week. Frank Griffin, a fireman on last
Wednesday at Duncan, had his skull
fractured while putting his head out of
the window, looking for the train back
of him. At first he wss thought by the
train men to be dead, but suddenly he
got up, his mind had left him and three
men could scarcely hold him in the car
until they reached Columbus. He was
taken down to Omaha for treatment A
few days ago a brakeman on a freight
at Woodriver waa sitting on top of a car
with his feet hanging down when pass
ing, the mail catcher caught his foot
pulling him off the car and he is now in
a critical condition. Sunday morning a
soldier by the name of Rasmussen was
brought through, his head terribly cut
open. At Chapman he was looking out
of the window when the mail catcher
struck him, mangling his head. A
brkaeman and fireman each show scars,
one on the nose, the other on the ear,
where the mail hook grazed them. Al
together, for one week's work the im
provement of the old catcher ia a fail
ure. The new invention is said to be
very complicated, the hook hanging
within about six inches of the train as
it peases by the depot

FOUND DEAD !
AFTER TWO DAYS' DISAPPEARANCE,
IS FOUND IN THE WOODS.
Cfchre
Clew aa to the Item's Tehing
Oat if the Beetle eff aHryehnlBe is a
Sunday forenoon, John H. Wilckens
(who haa for the last three years been
living one door north of Carl Reinke's,
on Olive street), waa missing, not having
returned from visiting a neighbor's a
block east
He left an invalid wife, and a young
son, who haa been working for Dr. Ba
ker. An old man, uncle of the deceased,
has been living with him.
One day last week, he had Gus G.
Becher go into the country with him to
help collect some $900.00 of rent, he be
ing the owner of two good farms in the
country.
Tuesday morning Henry Backenhus
found the dead body of Mr.W. in the
grove of trees on Fred. Gottschalk's
place, between the town hall and the cor
ner east, across the road north from the
sheep ranch. In one of his vest pockets
was a bottle of strychnine in one of Dr.
Heintz' wrappers, with some of the poi
son yet in the bottle
It has developed that he transferred
by deed last week two city lots and two
hundred eighty acres of land.
The inquest is to be held this, Tuesday
afternoon. The body lies in an upper
room at Gass undertaking establish
ment, and has not at this writing been
touched except to be cared for.
He was about forty-four years
old, rather short and thick-eet, busby
hair, whiskers and no mustache. He is
described as a very well behaved man,
sober and industrious.
Stick to the Fans.
After all, the best chance for the aver
age man is on the farm. He can live
more independently there than any
where else. As to society, so longed for
and supposed to exist in town and city,
it is largely a delusion. Its advantages
over the society of the country cost
more than they are worth. The profes
sions are all crowded. Jobs are not
only hard to get but are hard to keep.
A man can make a living and a home on
a farm and that is about all any man can
do anywhere. Farming does not pay as
it should, but aside from those who have
a pull or a monopoly, there is no honest
business which pays any better. It is
not wise to think of going west, or to
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii or Klondike
in search of better chances. They are
substantially the same everywhere. To
go off in search of business chances is
very much like pursuing a mirage or
going to Klondike hoping to strike a
mine of gold. We can waste our lives
in a fruitless chase, or at best, after
striking something rich, find ourselves
worn out and disqualified to enjoy or
uso to any real profit what we have se
cured. The best advice which can be
given to anyone in these times is to get
out and keep out of debt Get a home,
small or large, but get a home, improve
it and hold to it as a refuge through all
the possible storms of the future. Cedar

The candidate for the republicans for
county attorney, is a lawyer who resides
at the thriving business center of the
north part of the county Humphrey.
He is well known to many Journal
readers aa an industrious, talented, faith
ful member of bis profession, and one
who, if elected, will make a very credit
able official
We believe that too little stress has
been placed by the people of Platte up
on the functions of county attorney.
There is really no office (excepting
only that of the supervisors of the coun
ty board) that bears more directly upon
the safety of citizens in their life, their
property and their legal rights, than
that of county attorney, and the man
who is selected to exercise these func
tions should understand his business;
should be faithful to the interests of the
county, and should be fearless and im
partial in the discharge of his duties.
It is no office for time-servers; no
place for ignoramuses; no place for men
who are not actuated by love of the
public welfare.
Let us make a change, this year.
P. J. Marshy.
For state senator for this and Platte
counties we have a strong candidate in
the person of P. J. Murphy of Rogers.
This gentleman has been a resident of
Colfax county for more than a quarter
of a century and all that time has been
known as one of our most energetic citi
zens snd best business men. For years
he waa one of Colfax precinct's most
successful farmers but afterwards re
moved to Rogers where he has been en
gaged in feeding stock and is also inter
ested with his son in the implement
business. In all bis business transac
tions Mr. Murphy has been found to be
honest and fair and enjoys a reputation
for square dealing wherever known. He
is a gentleman of excellent judgment,
has a thorough business training and
understands the needs and wishes of the
people, so that if elected he may be re
lied upon to be found voting upon the
right aide of all public questions. Not
only is Mr. Murphy widely and favor
ably known in his own county but has a
wide acquaintance in Platte who will
support him heartily and do all in their
power to see that he is elected. In
working for Mr. Murphy's election every
republican should bear in mind that this
is a year above all others that we should
control the state legislature. Not only
is it our duty to uphold our party prin
ciples and the splendid administration
of Wm. McKinley but we must control
the state legislature this winter and se
cure the election of a republican to suc
ceed Senator Allen whose term expires
next March. Thia can be accomplished
in part by the election of P. J. Murphy
and The 8un feels confident that the
voters of Colfax and Platte have beard
so much of populist sham reform that
they will elect him by a good majority.

The capacity for public affairs is not
given to every man.
There seems to be but a limited num
ber, who have all of this, or of that, or
of the other quality, fitted for them to
meet and transact business with all
sorts of people, and John Wiggins is
one of this kind.
Chairman of the board during a very
trying time in the history of the county,
he brought matters through in fine
shape, and without loss to the county,
so that, he is entitled to the gratitude of
political foes as well as friends.
Mr. Wiggins has made a first-class of
ficial, looking after the interests of the
county.
He is thoroughly well informed as to
the duties of the office, and will waste
no time in learning.
He makes an excellent supervisor, and
it is a good plan to let well enough
alone.
