H Freedom, Manila. ft Hexrt Loseke, one of the earliest set tlers of Platte county, was in the city yesterday on business and the editor, who when a boy of fourteen, worked for him in the harvest field twenty-six years ago this summer, had quite a visit with him. Mr. Loseke came witli bis father and brothers direct from Germany to Platte county in the spring of 1858. He had an uncle there at tho time who in duced them to come out but after arriv ing and looking at the lonesomeness of the country, they wished themselves back in the Fatherland several times. They settled on a fine creek, afterwards named Loseke creek, in honor of the family, in the eastern part of Platte county. There was no homestead law at that time and they bought the best land on the creek bottom for 81.25 an They had to drive to Omaha to acre. get wneat ground lor Hour and were often from threo to four weeks gone with an ox team. They were never bothered by the Indians but thought they were going to be several times and twice fled to Colmnbns to avoid the at tack. These sturdy pioneers had to struggle with adversity for fifteen or eighteen years but as the country began to settle up and they found a sale for their products better times greeted them and they prospered from then on. Most of these old timers that stuck to the farms are now well off. Many of them have retired and moved to the city, as our friend Loseke, where they will live as they richly deserve, in ease and comfort. Schuyler Sun. Wilson, A. W. Forsaith, A. L. Erickson. The six delegates to the jndicial convention are: Win. Mason, D. L. Bruen.J. C. Byrnes, C. A. Brindley, Wm. Pollard, John J. Galley. J. C. Byrnes was nominated for sheriff and a committee of three, Messrs. Kier nan, Bruen and Moore, named to notify the democratic convention of the fact. A recess was then taken to await the action of the democratic convention, which was later made known to the con vention by a committee, viz: the en dorsement of the nomination of Byrnes, and a request that tho populists endorse tho remainder of the ticket as placed in nomination by the democrats. A central committee was appointed in due form. Ea-Oil Ixspectok Loziex Hiltox was a republican when appointed to that office. He retained fees amounting to some 0,000 for inspecting gasoline, setting up tho claim that the law did not compel him to turn them in to the state. A judgment was secured against him in tho district court. An appeal to the higher court was also adverse to Mr. Hilton and his bondsmen and tho latter have paid into tho district court at Lin coln $7,000. After suit was brought against him Hilton went over to the fusiouists. Camp Life. Many of the companies have already finished their clothing accounts.

Tho bliud devotion with which an old servant did his duty was illustrated ou one occasion when his master had a diuner party. During tho dinner Henry was very nervous and mado two 01 threo blunders. His waster showed his annoyance and cast angry glances at his servant, but the poor man could not settle quiet ly to his work. At last, when the dessert bad been placed quietly on the table, he stole timidly behind his master's chair and said: "Please, sir, can yon spare me now? My houso has been on fire for tho last hour and a half!" London Answers. Cinoa't Bad WrlUatr. It is said of Mr. George Curzon, the governor general of India, that his handwriting becamo quite illegible at one period of his Oxford career. At this timo ho wrote two letters, one to a relative, one to a chum with whom he always discussed the faults of their re spective relations, and accidentally put theso letters into the wrong envelopes. He was about to write a profound apol ogy to his relativo when he received the following note from him, "Can't read a word of yonr four pages, but gueas you want somo money, yon young rascal."

He also acted as temporary chair man, Clarence Gerrard as temporary secretary, the temporary organization being afterwards made permanent. A committee of five on credentials was named. The seventeen delegates se lected "to the State convention were: J. S. Freeman, N.S. Hyatt, J. W. Maher, W. A. Way, Ed. Van Allen, Thos. Dack, W. F. Dodds, C. L. Gerrard, J. P. Ma- Semocratic County Conrention. The delegates were called to order in the opera house at about 2 o'clock Mon day afternoon, by Jonas Welch of the central committee. The temporary or ganization (afterwards made permanent) was D. P. Mahoney of Platte Center chairman, and G. W. Duffey, Henry Bierman and Jacob Bodewig secretaries. A committee of five on credentials was appointed, viz: Jonas Welch, Wm. Schreiber, Gus. Goetz, Nich. Hemmer man and D. A. Becher. After a recess of ten iniuntes, the committee made their report, which was unanimously adopted, showing 12S delegates entitled to seats in the convention. A motion prevailed that a committee consisting of one from each township and ward be ap pointed to select delegates to the judicial and state conventions. The report of this committee was adopted, the dele gates to the judicial convention being: George Lehman, F. H. Smith, K. C. Regan, Blake Maher, Jacob Bodewig, Wm. Schriber, P. E. McKillip, L. J. Hendryx, Henry Greisen, G. W. Duffey, Peter Dischner, J. F. Birney, Wm. Reese. To the State convention: W. E. Moore, C. A. Lutz, John Brnnken, Henry Rickert, N. J. Gentleman, O. S Moran, D. P. Mahoney, J. E. Hngg, J F. Belford, Shell Clark, Sam'l Imboff, Ed. Rossiter, F. A. Hagel, Wm. Thomazin, E. J. Newman, Clark Blecher. James Kiernan of the populist con ference committee made a few remarks in favor of fusion. The convention pro ceeded to the nomination of a clerk of tho district court, the first ballot being informal. Grnenther, 91, Segelke, 37. The ballot was then made formal, and Mr. Grnenther declared the nnanimons choice of the convention. James Kiernan of the populist con ference committee again "bobbed up serenely," and told the assembled demo cratic solons of the county that he wasn't giving them any blarney, ho wasn't talking nonsense, referred to a common cause and the very modest de mand of the populists for one place on the ticket, the remainder to be filled by the democrats, and the ticket to be sup ported by both parties. Probably see ing a good deal of the fire of opposition in some eyes before him, Mr. Kiernan warmed up to his theme, and as the spokesman of the populist convention, gavo the democrats plainly to under stand that if they (the democrats) didn't go in with them (the populists) tbey (the populists) would defeat everything on their ticket. At this point in Mr. Kiernan's re marks, the assembled statesmen of the democratic county hosts, evidently con sidering that the limit had been reached, roared Kiernan down. The convention then proceeded to the first formal ballot for treasurer, result ing in Becher, 91, Mogan, 37. The same formality as before was gone through with and Becher (John G., the present deputy treasurer) declared the unani mous nominee of the convention. Walter Phillips was nominated for county clerk, unanimously by acclama tion, and made a little speech iu which he said he would not again come before a democratic convention of the county and ask for an office; he had been highly favored by them, etc., etc Then came the nomination for sheriff Kiernan having subsided and become as meek as a lamb. Byrnes (the popu lists' demand and their nominee) re ceived 9G votes of the assembled democ racy, and Leach (the Humphrey demo- craij, oz votes, just 3 to 1 in a democratic convention in favor of the populist candidate. Mr. Byrnes made a little speech, bnt we do not understand that he pledged himself not to again ask for a county office, although possibly he may have felt that way. He considered the nomi nation as an endorsement of the manner in which he had conducted the office. Having thus arrived at the only fusion point, aggreeably to the cut-and-dry program thus far carried out, a com mittee of three consisting of Jonas Welch, George Lehman and J. F. Died rich, was appointed to inform the popu list convention of the nomination of Mr. Byrnes by the democratic convention, etc. The remaining part of the work of the convention was soon run through the hopper Robison for judge, Leavy for superintendent of schools, Metz for cor oner, Rossiter surveyor, and the central committee met right away after adjourn ment to begin to figure on the schemes whereby they may possibly or probably secure votes enough to elect the ticket put up.

The Lincoln Journal's correspondence of August 9th contains the following concerning a young lady who has honored this city by faithfulness to duty in a very trying situation. Miss Abbie Keating is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Keating, and a niece of Judge Sullivan: 'Three of us quit yesterday and more may be expected to leave later," said an ex-employee of the institution for feeble minded today. Among tho three who left was Miss Keating, the matron, whose home is at Columbus. In regard to her leaving, a gentleman who is well posted in the affairs of the institution, said: "The office of matron is one which, ac cording to the statntes governing the in stitution, cannot be kicked about at will. "A removal cannot be made except for cause. Miss Keating is one of the finest women who ever graced the in stitution with her presence. She is the personification of kindness and filled her difficult position perfectly. She liked the work, but was absolutely forced to resign by the treatment accorded her by Superintendent Long. Why, she was even told she would be expected to do the scrubbing and her assistants were taken away from her. I venture the assertion that now that she is gone many of the children will absolutely lose their identity. You understand that many of the children are unable to speak their names, have no near rela tives and aro personally known only to the matron. The condition of matters out there is simply appaling." Reunion at Camp Logan. John Tannahill writes us under date of Genoa, August 14: I find this morn ing, the camp with tents all up. An immense crowd expected.

Mosely down in Lancaster county has filed a rather novel suit. He alleges a breach of contract on the part of W. C. Phillips, recently nomi nated by republicans for clerk of the district court. Mr. Mosely was also a candidate for the same position and claims that he withdrew from the cam paign in favor of Mr. Phillips for a par tial consideration of $61 as campaign expenses and 8300 for the time spent in making the race. Mosely says that Phillips also promised him the deputy ship if elected, at $1,800 a year, and, estimating four years, he sues for $7,200 besides the smaller sums. The Lincoln Journal, from which we get this item, says the question of the validity of the agreement and of the responsibility of a man to fulfil a promise before he is able to do so will probably enter into the suit. Doubtless, but the evident design of the man who brings suit is only to make trouble for Phillips. 25c for the Campaign !

BigMtxa9ofCtWS&i Business Outlook In Dun's Review it is said that ihe output of iron furnaces in blast August 1st was 269,032 tons weekly, 60.8 per cent more than in 1892, and 27 per cent more than last year. New demands for the week have covered 2,100 tons for new buildings at Chicago, with much for bridges, and 4,000 tons for eastern buildings at Pittsburg. In burs both east and west the mills aro unable to take all orders offered, nor in plates can they take all orders anywhere, while in sheets the western mills are overcrowd ed though the eastern demand is lighter. The steadiness of quotations in prices indicates that the supply is much more nearly meeting the demand. The trade in iron is always regarded as a good indication of business in gen eral, involving that in machinery, build ings, railroads, bridges, and the num berless lines where iron is used. Business conditions have been and are now improving steadily and surely, and people generally are considering the Itest means of letting well enough ulone.
