Prioe, 50 esnta. A. Heintz and Pollock k Co. A special from Chadroa to the Omaha World-Herald, December 81, ooa- tained a sensational story ia regard to Col. John G. Maher, well known here, having formerly lived at Platte Caater, organizing a regiment for servioe ia favor of the Boers. The dispatch claims that it is part of a great movement all over the United States, especially iatereatiag tbe Irish, either natural born or Ameri can bora. The slow coach will doabt less bring the truth. A. M. Jennings writes from Fitzger ald, Georgia, to J. A. Turner, under data of December 23d: "I am busy these days hoeing in the garden among straw berries, turnips, cabbage, radishes, onions, eta, cutting wood and burning stumps, building some picket fence to replace some board fence, so you see I have plenty to da I have kept track of the thermometer for the last twelve days, and 40 is the lowest, 53 the highest for that time at 7 a. m. December 4, there was a little ice formed, the only time this winter." -' A business letter from David An derson, dated Dec. 27, says: "Well, here we are ia the Italy of America and the Paradise of the World. One must be here to Ijtfly :realize the beauty and grandeur, of this country and olimata I will not undertake to depict or describe it, for I am not capable of doing it justice. Every day we meet our dear, old friends and neighbors, and meet with many happy greetings. I cannot go into details, but if the spirit moves me, perhaps I may write you a letter for publication." Mrs. Roy Rhone and son 'Robert, instructors in guitar and mandoline at the Wesleyan university, Lincoln, were in the city Sunday night, and favored the congregation at the Methodist church with two selections. In the Kingdom of Harmony they are evidently doing a good work. They took the B. k M. train Monday morning for Lineoln. Mr. Rhone is learning to play the harp, that wonderful instrument of tbe ancients, and which was "used as an accompaniment to the psalms sung by the early congregations of Christians." Qua. B. Speice retires from his posi tion as clerk of the district court, having occupied the office three consecutive terms. If it hadn't been for the Bryan fad, in combination with the populists, he probably would have been nominated and elected for another term. He has shown strong capabilities for the office, and if his successor pleases the people half so well, along the line of accommo dating callers and promptness in attend ing to business, he will do well. We haven't at any time agreed with Mr. Speice politically, and what republicans were unable to do, viz., put a republican into his place, the combine of populists and democrats did, easy enough. The Platte Center Signal says that Miss Fannie Thomazin is very sick. .C. H. Dack has gone to Iowa. .D. D. Lynch of Linooln visited with bis parents Tues day and Wednesday..

Miss Mary O'Neil was at home the fore part of the week and returned to Columbus Thursday. .David Thomas of Postville shipped a car load of hogs Wed nesday evening and went to Omaha with them. . Wm. Schroeder is again in Platte Center. He was working in the U. P shops at North Platte for the past two months. If any of you wish to see two good cartoons drop into I. Gluck's office on Eleventh street and ask him to show you where democracy is represented aa a mother administering medicine from a bottle of gold cordial to Billy Bryan, who is making a wry face, but she holds him by tbe ear, while she feeds the ob jectionable dose in a spoon and says, "Take your medicine, Billy." The other represents where Bryan has led tbe democracy into the Dismal Swamp. He is represented as a soldier, the plume in his hat is labelled Little America; under his right arm a book titled Free Silver and Anti-Expansion. Old leaders deposed. Populists in control. Nothing left to lose. It closes with these: Not a democratic senator from any northern state. Both houses of congress republi can. New York lost by 260,000. New Jersey lost by 80,000. Connecticut lost by 50,000. Indiana lost by 18,000. We think it is no wonder that the Jefferso nian and Jacksonian democracy have tired of being led around by the Bryan populist democracy, and will "no more of it" CJ r 4 Maaoiaetariaf Csatcr. , In answer to an interrogation from the Omaha Bee, Mayor Fitzpatrick had this to say the other day. The mayor is emi nently correct and could have written almost without. limit in regard to the natural advantages of the Columbus situation. "'The improvement of opportunities is the bounden duty of communities, as it is of individuals, and Columbus hsa lag ged altogether too long already. But here is what the mayor says: ?I do not hesitate to say that a good sugar beet factory located in or near this city would pay a large dividend to the investors. My reason for this is because we sre located in the very heart of a country especially adapted to the culture of the sugar beet Hundreds of cars pass through here every month of the shipping season, hauling the beets either to Norfolk or Grand Island, and the logical conclusion is that right here ia where the prodact should be manufac tured. The field is open and I don't believe it will be long until somebody with capital recognizes the fact In this connection I want to also state (although your question does not call for it) that this city has the very best natural resources in the state for developing a water power. The never failing Loup river, with its swift curreet, is only awaitiagthe harness which a little capi tal eoald supply. It eoald then furnish all the power seeded for a city four times taasiaaof Colambaa," j...i ; ; Mis. Patrick Marshy waa ia the city Friday. Miss Aaaa Hsppaa is visiting ia 8chayler.
