We learn that a republican club of
one hundred and two members was or
ganized at Creston last week. John Mor
ris, president; E. White, secretary; A.
Peterson, treasurer. A quartette enter
tained the assemblage with songs, and a
number went over from Madison to the
first meeting, says the Madison Chron
icle. Friday, Barney McTeggart while
riding horseback was thrown headlong
from his horse, the animal stumbling
and falling at the lowered track on
Olive street, the horse pretty nearly
breaking his own neck, and Barney
hitting the ground on his right shoul
der, rendering it very sore and painful.
W. H. Lewis was the first man to came
to his relief.
B. P. Duffy, the editor af the Platte
County Democrat, who was a candidate
for county attorney before the late dem
ocratic convention, is by no means satis

a column to say about it in the issue of ;
Thursday. He uses some very plain, t
pointed and hot language, and may con-
elude to run on petition as an indepen-1
dent democrat.' j

A letter from Mrs. Earkly (nee Miss
Phoebe Gerrard) from Honolulu tells cf
the demonstrations in that city cele-,
brating the annexation of the Islands to
America. Hereafter a two-cent stamp
carries the letters, and the Islands will
be known as Hawaiian territory. She
says in that city there are not very many
Americans. The natives are dark
skinned people with thick lips.
Let it be preserved as a matter of
local history that the band pavilion
which had been doing duty at Frank
fort park for years, was placed on a
wagon Friday morning, June 29, and
taken to Buffalo park in the eastern
part of the city, where it will doubtless
be used for purposes similar a decade or
so to come, and perhaps then transferred
to one of the other parks (do you know
its name?) and make way for a better
one.
Last Thursday A. W. Armstrong
went to J. H. Kersenbrock's farm 6
miles southwest of Mil ford on the West
Blue, to fix up a water-power pump for
hoisting water for irrigating alfalfa and
corn. A dam, built in proper fashion,
giving a fall of five feet, is provided with
a Leffel wheel, and the pump elevates
to where needed 2.000 barrels of water a
day. The fall furnishes, with the wheel,
a 20-horse power, which can be used
constantly, not only for water, but far
grinding and other purposes.
For some time past Nicholas Gen
tleman and Martin Burns of Platte
Center have not been friendly, having
had two bodily encounters. The matter,
so Mr. Burns says, has, however, assum

Mr. Gentleman to do great bodily vio
lence to Mr. Burns, and so, on his com

Aaron Cue, the Union Pacific flag
man, had an extraordinary experience
' Wednesday night while going home
( about eleven o'clock. It was west of
; the round-house, and the last that he
; remembered was that anmpfandv mm
up behind him. From indications he
probably was struck with a sandbag, as
the first consciousness came to him and
t in a dazed condition he made his way
home reaching there at half-past twelve.
Some six dollars was taken out of his
pockets, and his watch snatched from its
chain. The back of Mr. Cue's head was
very sore the next day.
It seems that an inexperienced young
fellow has a few rights left, when he
comes to test them in court. The other
day at Kansas City a young man hired a
livery team for the purpose of taVng
his girl out ruling, telling the livery
man that fact. The team ran away, the
owner sued the young man for damages,
but the judge, who doubtless could ap
preciate the actualities of life, gave his
decision in favor of the ycung man, say
ing it was the duty of the liveryman,
under the circumstances and being ad
vised, to provide him a team that could
be driven safely with one hand. Thz

cludes judges, but liverymen as well as
lovers, and one of our duties is to keep

At about 9:30 Friday morning fire
was noticed in a room up-atairs in the
Barber block three doors to the rear of
Dr. VbssV occupied as a sleeping room
by Jack Wiggins. It seems that a mat
tress had caught fire from a cigar, but
Wiggins had put it out or was certain
he had, and left the room far the morn
ing. It was only a few minutes, howev
er, after he left tnat WilL Murdock, who
occupied the next room north, noticed
the ssaoke, broke in a door, dragged the
burning Buttress into the hall, where
the fire was put oat without much water

scorched, and Mardock being burned on
the hands, and losing some clothing. E.
