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

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.

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.

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.

Tho bliud devotion with which an

ou one occasion when his master had a

was very nervous and mado two 01

His waster showed his annoyance
and cast angry glances at his servant,
but the poor man could not settle quiet

At last, when the dessert bad been
placed quietly on the table, he stole
timidly behind his master's chair and
said:

always discussed the faults of their re

theso letters into the wrong envelopes.
He was about to write a profound apol

Populist County Conrention.
J. S. Freeman of the central commit
tee called the meeting to order Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at Maennerchor
hall. 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 lists of delegates, state and judi
cial, are each short one name, which we
are unable to supply, at present Ed.

Compelled to Resign.
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

immense crowd expected. It will be a
good chance for any one in Columbus to
take an outing for a day or more tents,
hay and wood free. Any one coming
from Columbus wanting accommo
dations in camp, call on me and I will
see that they are provided. Railroad
fare round trip, only 85 cents.

W. D. 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.

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.
