measure seven feet across, also an Australian tree fern of about the same size. He
has some rare palms purchased for himself in Florida. The conservatory is heated
with hot water as is all the house, and Mr. Gray has arranged an automatic bell so
that when the temperature is falling the bell will warn the household of the fact
before it is too late. The room is kept at a temperature of 60 degrees in day

Tho fast mail from tho west Friday
afternoon came very near having a seri
ous accident, but as good luck would
have it no lives were lost. About two
miles west of Silver Creek the fast mail
engine became disabled by the breaking
of a main rod. When this rod had
broken a hole in the boiler and the
water ran out the train camo to a stand
still. None of the passengers realized
their danger until the train stopped
then it was all over. When the local pas
senger train, which was a few minutes
behind tho fast train, camo along, it
pushed the disabled train into Silver
Creek, and then took the fast train ex
cept the -engine to Columbus, then a lo
cal freight picked up the engine. It
was a very lucky wreck as no one was
hurt. Central City Nonpareil.
A correspondent to the Telegram,
writing from Monroe, makes the declar
ation that the populists will not be in
favor of fusion next fall unless they
have a more equitable division of the
offices, and that they think they ought
to have the county clerk, besides the
sheriff, also that in the person of N. S.
Hyatt of Monroe they have a compet
ent, suitable and very popular man for
the place. Several questions naturally
rise in the minds of those outside, among
them being: Why so early in suggest
ing individuals? Why suggest Hyatt
for county clerk, rather than district
court clerk, for which he is probably
equally as well qualified? Why send
such a communication to the democratic
organ instead of to the populist organ?
And thereby hangs a tail to each ques
tion. Fred Stenger lost his pocket-book
one day last week containing $45 in bills
and some other valuables. A couple of
little girls found it and left it with M.
K. Turner. He at once posted a notice
in the postoffice and Mr. Stenger called
Saturday and identified his property.
He remembered the little girls and re
warded them quite liberally for their
honesty. The foregoing from the Colum
bus Telegram is true, and on last Friday
the writer hereof found a purse, which,
from papers inside, seemed to belong to
M. A. Twardowski of Duncan. A postal
card mailed him brought him in the
next day, and he readily proved his
ownership of the purse and its valuable
contents.' It was noticed lying in the
road on Eleventh street, and probably
but a short time after it had been
dropped.
A sad accident occurred Saturday
near Hooper. The family of Peter
Strnve were loading their household
goods in a wagon preparatory to moving.
Anna Strnve, a 13-year-old daughter
threw a rifle onto the floor, accidentally
while moving some other goods, striking
the rifle which was leaning against the
wall. It was loaded, and the 3-year-old
brother of the girl was struck and in
stantly killed.
Harry Phelps has secured a position

note that Colfax county editors are
recognized by the powers that be. We
also hope that two years hence the re
publicans will follow the precedent es
tablished by our fusion friends. Leigh

The Pioneer Hook and Ladder
company gave their twenty-fifth annual

C'onnty Politics.
It is nothing new that in Platte county
politics (or office-holding) that there are
discordant elements which will not read
ily be harmonized.
We not only refer to the so-called
fusion, or effort at fusion, by the popu
lists and democrats, but also to warring
factions, especially among democratic
seekers after office.
It is well enough, it is all right, in
truth it is commendable, to be very sure,
it is the bounden duty of every voter, to
examino closely into the native, real
character of every man seeing office, to
the end that the public service may not
suffer by incapable and self-seeking men,
who are no sooner in office than they
begin to contrive how they may continue
in the same.
Whatever happens, let us select good
men for each and every one of our
county offices.
That Field or Wheat.
Having been asked a number of times
last fall, how many bushels of grain were
threshed from a field of wheat which I
raised last year on Carl Rhode's farm,
three miles northeast of the city, as I
had not yet threshed, I could not answer,
and now, believing that someone might
be benefited by my experience, I here
with submit my work and its results.
On the 4th of August, 1897, I began
plowing the ground, which had just been
cleared of barley and oats, the stubble
consisting of about two parts barley and
one part oats. The soil was very dry and
turned up lumpy when we commenced
plowing, but a good shower the second
day put the soil in good condition for
stirring. Finished plowing August 16,
having plowed the ground five inches
deep, but not deeper than had been
formerly plowed. Harrowed the ground
thoroughly August 17. Then, the 24th,
31st, and September 6th for the fourth
and last time. Used the Hoosier Press
drill with eight runners and pure Turkey
Red winter wheat, planted east and west,
and at right angles from which we
plcwed. The field consisted of 28 acres,
and we planted 37 bushels of seed.
Commenced harvesting same July 4th,
1898. Finished cutting and shocking on
the 7th. Commenced stacking July 18th,
finished on the 28th, having put the
wheat into 15 round stacks, tops secured
with skewers. Threshed October 25 and
26. The 28 acres yielded 1208 bushels by
weight, and tested 60 lbs. as it came from
machine, making a yield of 44 bushels to
the acre. J. H. Dbisnix.

Among selections, we find a very apt
illustration of a subject that has puzzled
heads to compass: "But, Paul, how can

a venerable darkey. "Oh, dar's no puz
zle 'bout dat. It's like dat poker; I

de poker's in de fire, and do fire's in de
poker."
A paragraph called attention to the
fact that "Nebr." should be universally

advice for a P. O. money order of $25,
delaying the payment of the order for
two weeks.

New York City business men were
putting on airs, and the Chicago Tribune
came back at them with this story about
forcing trade: An organization of mer
chants in Georgia wrote to a Connecticut
comb manufacturer, threatening him
with the withdrawal of their trade if he
did not espouse the cause of the South.
He replied that he was selling his combs,
not his politics, and if the south didn't
want his combs, the south could go
lousy.

Matthis' place on Shell creek, and gave
a lengthy description of his fertile 160
acres. Evorything kept in tho best of
order; garden fenced and filled with
apple, plum and cherry trees, currant
bushes and vegetables weeds had no
chance. Jacob Ernst told the editor
that he regarded Mr. Matthis as the
best corn raiser in the county, and his
success was in the fact that he did his
work well and completely. Of grapes,
Mr. Matthis thought the best variety for
culture here to be the Concord; that
fruit trees thrive best on clayey land, and
on a slope to the north; that ash and
box elder are the best trees to plant for
shade and timber.
A correspondent of the Omaha Repub
lican said, among other things this:
"Columbus is tho 'boss town and one in
which evidences of thrift are too numer
ous to mention. Hundreds of wagons
loaded with wheat, with hogs, with every
thing that the magnificent country to
the north and northwest for a hundred
and fifty miles can produce, roll into the
market. Hotels are crowded; business
men immersed in trade; improvements
of the most substantial character are
going on; vim and vitality vivify the
visitor and vary the voyageur's view as
he observes the vying venders of the
village rake in the Vs. Alliteration
aside, however, all are agreeably agitated
with admiration of the advancing appear
ance of the town."
Monday morning at C o'clock the
fire alarms were sounded, and most
slumbering citizens were awakened out
of slumber more or less sound. A fire
had broken out at the Clother House,
George Scott, proprietor. Promptly the
department were on hand, the fire being
put out with buckets, the hose (attached
to the hydrant at the Meridian corner)
being put in readiness for emergencies.
The fire was located in the wall next to
the chimney on the west L, and is sup
posed to have been caused by a defect in
the chimney. The damage was probably
something like forty dollars. The ther
mometer was ten degrees below zero.
The firemen under Chief Bert Galley, did
their full duty, and did it well, as they
always do.
WANTED.
Seventy-five men and families to go to
Fresno county, California. Employment
