A letter received several days ago by
a friend m tne city from Captain Charles
W. Jens, states that he has been over

It is understood that the democratic
state central committee are getting con
siderably alarmed over the situation, and
are sending out urgent requests over the
state to "hustle for the state ticket

will even tend to save Hoicomb from
defeat. We have never had a better

We gave in last Jocsxax. all the
news in regard to the fire at Monroe
Monday evening of last week. A tele
gram to the Bee of the 15th says: A fire
completely destroyed on Monday even
ing the Monroe feed mill and all ma
chinery connected therewith; also the
Union Pacific depot and freight depart

the mill, exceeds 31,000. partly covered
by insurance. The origin of the fire is
a mystery. This is the second blaze in
this locality within a week.
The Lincoln Journal in giving a
review of the republican central com
mittee arrangements of meetings over
the state makes the following mention:
-Major J. N. Eilian of Columbus, who
was with the First regiment in the Phil
ippines, has returned from campaign
work in Pennsylvania. He will begin
immediately with his work in the state.
The dates for his meetings have already
been published. The major is an inter
esting speaker and he has had great
success with his work in the east."
Don't forget the republican city
ticket. O. C Shannon has made one of
the best assessors the city ever had; has
given good satisfaction so far as we have
ever heard, and deserves re-election. J.
M Cnrtis and Frank Taylor will make
excellent justices, both having a keen,
quick eye for seeing the salient features
of a dispute, and of getting at the right
of it. Marve Etston and Mike Welch,
the candidates for constables have both
had experience in this line of work, and
have both proved their abdity to prop
erly manage just such an office.
Captain Charles W. Jens, the re
publican candidate for county clerk, is
gaming votes right along, and is coming
in on the home stretch all right. He
has not yet t Monday" returned from his
visit east, among his old friends, where
he was at the time the convention nom
inated him, but he is expected any day
now. Reports have been industriously j
circulated that he would not accept the
nomination; that he would decline the
nomination, etc. but we have it from
reliable authority that he will very
shortly be here, and make the campaign.
Miss Erie Pickerill. who has been

We attended the first entertainment
given in the opera house, and were very
much pleased with the special studies

little men and women in the minuet was
a very pleasing finale to the evening's
entertainment.
The Connty Sunday School conven
tion will hold their annual meeting in
the Congregational church of this city,
Saturday and Sunday, Nov. -i and 5. R.
H. Pollock of Beatrice, field secretary,
and G. G. Wallace of Omaha, state pres
ident, will both be present. A program
has been prepared including, besides
these gentlemen, C. W. Talbitzer. presi
dent of the county association, of Mon
roe, Rev. Yost and Prof. Williams of this
city. Special musical selections from
Mrs. Warren. Mr. and Mrs. J E. Erskine,
n.JB Ethel Galley. Mrs. E. H. Chambers,
Mrs. Garlow and Prof. Garlich will help
to make the program of greater interest.
Mr. Erskine will direct the congregation
singing.
Charles W. Jens showed the kind of
man he is, while he was in the service in
the Philippines. There was no more
popular officer in the regiment, and the
men. under him were treated as brothers.
Always considerate of others needs, he
was a friend as well as an officer, prompt
to do duty, and prompt to relieve surTer
ing where he could do so. He had the
respect of alL and the love of those who
served under him. Such a man, with
such traits of character, would make a
dutiful public official, wherever he might
be placed. He would be the servant of
the people and not a would-be boss,
accommodating in the line of business
connected with the office, and yet strict
ly attentive to duties prescribed by
statute. Jens is all right.
Major J. N. Kilian returned Friday
from a month's trip through the states
of New York and Pennsylvania. He was
with the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment
at the Dewey reception in New York
city, the only regiment participating in
the monster parade which had seen ser
vice in the Philippine islands, and the
vast multitudes went wild with enthu
siasm when they came in sight. Major
Kilian says he never saw such crowds as
in New York, and could never have
imagined a sight like it. For seven
miles the streets, roofs, windows and
temporary porches were a sea of faces.
The Major traveled through Pennsylva
nia with the republican state candi
dates making speeches, and they were
greeted everywhere with great crowds
of enthusiastic people.
Dennis H. Harrington, the republi

The steam laundry of C H. Whaley
located on Nebraska Avenue, had a close
call from destruction by fire Tuesday
evening of last week at about 7:30. A
new stove had been purchased and
placed in the drying room, where the fire
was first discovered, and everything was
considered safe when the proprietor left
the place at supper time. The fire had
gotten a good start by the time the
firemen reached the ground, the names
issuing from the roof and the inside a
seething mass, but as usual, the fire boys
upon arrival, taking in the situation in
a very few seconds, had the fire quench
ed thus putting a quietus upon what
might have proved a big conflagration,
as all structures adjoining on the north
to the Friedhof building were of wood.
Mr. Whaley estimates his loss at about
3200, and hopes to again be ready for
business in a few davs.
The Fremont Tribnne takes the fol
lowing shot at the New Argus of this
city: A Platte county populist paper
has disposed of A. R. Oleson very effect
ually a3 a candidate for district judge.
It has attacked his age, which is a very
vulnerable point and the attack is likely
to embarrass him seriously. That Mr.
Oleson is under 73 is a gross outrage
and the probabilities are there will be a
great many indignation meetings held
all over the five counties comprising the
Sixth district. Farmers will abandon
their cornfields and lift up tneir voices
and demand to know of Mr. Oleson what
satisfactory, legal excuse he can give for
not being born sooner. It boots noth
ing that he is conceded to be well versed
in the law. What the people want to
know of him is whv he hasn't wrinkles
on his face, a feeble step and whiskers a

Th Nonpareil gives a lengthy ac
count of the destructive wind storm
that hit Central City Sunday week. We
condense from it that the wind blew a
almost a tornado. Considerable damage
was done over Merrick county in the
way of uprooting trees, wrecking build
ings and blowing down corn in tne field.
John HoltorTs large bam was com
pletely wrecked, the wind carrying it
out through the orchard and demolish
ing twenty-five bearing apple trees. At
Chapman the wind blew wish terrific
force and caused general alarm. The
family of P. O'Hern fearing that the
house was in danger ran outside. His
daughter, Maggie O'Hern. was struck in
the head by a piece of board, or other
debns, fracturing her skull fatally. She
diea from the effects of her injuries at
7 p. m. Tuesday. Her skull was terribly
crushed and no amount of surgical skill
could avail m saving her life. She was
fourteen years of age and her tragic
death was a great shock to the commu
nity. When injured she was carrying i
ner oaoy orowner ana enaeavocmg to
protect him from the storm. The child
was uninjured.
Gentlemen of the democracy of
Platte connty, don't create a panic by
your anxiety for votes. There is al
ready feeling enough. It is best to allow
each candidate to conduct the affairs of
the term for wnich he is elected, and
stop off short at the end. These tie
ups, arrangements, slates, contracts, or
whatever other name you may please to
give them, by which a present official
and candidate agrees to step aside two
years hence and allow a present deputy
a free field and his help to the nomina
tion, himself to have the place of depu
ty, are getting a little too monotonous.
The spirit of our free institutions is not
favorable to the creation and the con
tinued keeping up of an office-holdmc !
class it isn't best for the character of
the citizen. He should be willing, all
things being equal, to assume the duties
and eares of office, occasionally, when
called thereto by the vote of his fellow
citizens, but to make an out-and-out
life business of it is not in accordance
with the spirit of American institutions.
Give us an entire change of onr officials,
at least occasionally. We have found it
a very safe thing on county treasurer,
and let us keep it up. and apply it to
the other offices, as welL You do these
and such like things by your votes.
Vote the republican ticket.

Kentuckian born, that his father fought
for his country in the war for the Union.
Young Craig came to Illinois wi:h his
fathers folks in 1S76. He received his
education at Branches' college at
McCoan, graduating in the business and
commercial course. He taught school
two terms to obtain money to attend
college, and, after eraduatmg. taught in
the primary departments of the college
and in the common schools of the county

the land, loan and collection business at
Monroe, and is well-known for his strict
attention to business, and his general
ability as a young man. If elected to
the office of county superintendent of
public schools, he will not regard the
office as a place for personal aggrandise
ment; he will not assume the position of
a boas of the teachers of the county, or
endeavor to perpetuate his official hold;
he will devote his time and talents to
the good of the schools of the county,
assisting in every legal and legitimate
way, both school-officers and teachers in
their work, but in no way being auto
cratic or dictatorial, but simply acting in
the line of duty. Mr. Craur was married
