The Platte County Leader published
at Humphrey is responsible for the fol
lowing, which we quote as an item of
current political history more or leas
interesting to some Jocbnal readers:
"Already the court house occupants
are nosing around for third terms, but
eomeof them will get beautifully left"
The item is not editorial, lut ia in the
correspondence from Columbus, suppos
ed generally to be from the pen of
Judge Duffy, late candidate for nomina
tion as county attorney, but defeated in
his aspirations by the work of some who
thought they could use Mr. O'Brien to
carry out more of their purposes? in
other words, the new official syndicate
has not, as yet, included Judge Duffy.
When will he be allowed to enter the
inner circle?
Does he wish to be a candidate for
judge sometime in the near future, or is
he seeking to play even agaiust some of
his late friends?
Anyway it is always just as well for
the people to do some talking and a good
deal of thinking beforehand as to who
should serve them in the various public
offices. It is not best to let matters of
this sort be managed wholly by self
seeking office-hunters. Practical poli
tics has come to be too much regarded
as a scramble for offices.
The ballot law passed at the last
session has some features that will be of
interest to Journal readers. The pow
er of appointing judges and clerks of
election is left with the clerk of the dis
trict court, who chooses from certified
lists furnished by chairmen of the
various committees. Election officers
must be named fifteen days before elec
tion; the service is made compulsory,
and unless excuse is granted by the
clerk, a fine of $5 to $50 is imposed for
failure to serve. No candidate's name
shall appear on the ballot more than
once, but after each name will be print
ed the names of all the parties nomi
nating him. There is to be a circle at
the top of the ballot opposite the name
of each political party and the making
of across in the circle is to pass as a
vote for tho straight ticket. The Schuy
ler Quill calls attention to the fact that
the bill was drafted by Wilkinson of
Cass county and Sprecher of Colfax.
Professor Gatxobd, dissector of the
pathological laboratory established by
the state of New York at the university
of Buffalo, thinks he has found the'
cancer germ, for which he has been
searching a long time. He does not
claim a demonstrated certainty, but a
strong assurance. The germ theory of
the cause of disease, whether or not it is
an absolute truth, has certainly been
prolific of apparently good results cer
tain germs are known to surely accom
pany certain diseases, and these only,
the theory of practice being that what
ever will destroy the germ will also des
troy the disease.
A young Chicago man named Curtis
stopped at Beaumont, Texas, last Janu
ary, on a trip to California, and invested
some money in oil lands that promise to
make him a wealthy man. Some of his
land has increased sixty fold in value
since purchased. One of the oil wells in
the region has a capacity of 70,000 barrels
a day. The famous oil pool in the Gulf
of Mexico is almost directly south of
Beaumont It is a place of considerable
extent where the surface of the water is
covered with oil and to which vessels go
in a storm for safety.
Last Wednesday, at Springfield, 111.,
without any ceremony the remains of
Abraham Lincoln and the other mem
bers of his family, (which have since
March 10, 1900, been reposing in a tem
porary stone vault near the monument)
were replaced in the crypt in the monu
ment. These are President and Mrs.
Lincoln, their sons Willie, Thomas
(Ted.,) and Eddie, and Abraham, son of
their oldest son Robert T. The rebuild
ing of the monument has cost the state
$100,000.
In a railroad case recently, at St. Louis
the judge held: "When there is a com
paratively safe and a more dangerous
way, known to a servant by means of
which he may discharge his duty, it is
negligence for him to select the more
dangerous method and he thereby
assumes the risk of the injury which its
use entails.'' This decision is very
broad reaching, and applicable in any
business.
The road to happiness and content in

Here's hoping that the free and un
limited coinage of the chicken and cow,
without the aid or consent of any na
tion on earth, will continue. The prod
ucts of the hen and dairy in the United
States during 1900 amounted to- $675,
000,000, while the gold and silver pro
duced in the country during 1899
amounted to but $142,000,000. The one
product that exceeded in value that of
the cow and ben was corn, which in 1900
amounted to $751,000,000. Norfolk

By the real estate transfers it will
be noticed that the lots on the south
west corner of Thirteenth and Olive
streets have been so re-arranged as to
front north and are now owned in the
following order: At the corner, L. Ger

J. C. Echols, Thomas Dack; following
these are Henry Ragatz and M. Brugger.
The last two are intending to proceed at
once with the erection of large business
houses. The others, it is supposed, will
do the same before long. Let the good
work proceed.
J. S. Freeman received a letter from
a brother last Wednesday, dated in
Crawford county, Pennsylvania, stating
that on April 20, the snow there was
eighteen to twenty inches deep on the
level; April 21, 3 p. m., it rained a little;
April 22, it was still thawing, but it
would be several days before it would be
dry enough to plow. Not a furrow had
yet been struck for the planting of any
crop. There was one thing in his letter,
however, that we wish every Nebraska
man could write"! have fifty bushels
of apples yet on hand."
a M. Brugger let the contract Monday
to C. H. Davis for the erection of his
new two-story brick business building
on Thirteenth street, opposite the park.
The building will be ready for occu
pancy by Mr. Herrick by August 1st.
Mr. Davis has also secured the contract
for the erection of the Ragatz structure,
double-front, just east of the Brugger
building. So soon as work begins, The
Journal will contain a complete de
scription from the plans of these busi
ness houses, which will be an important
addition to the business facilities of
the city.
On Arbor Day Fred Stenger planted
a hundred and eighty trees, peach, plum,
apricot and German prune. He expects
to have a good crop of pears this season
from trees planted three years ago, and
which bore some last year. From all
present indications, there will, he says,
be a splendid crop of fruit He believes
with many others that a late spring is a
fairly good promise of excellent yields of
grains and fruits in Nebraska late
springs holding everything back until
the weather conditions are such that
growth continues without interruption
after the start is made.
Last Saturday morning a very dis
tressing and unfortunate accident oc
curred at the home of F. W. Platz, pro
prietor of the brewery, two miles north
of town. A gun in the hands of the
youngest son, aged about fourteen years,
exploded, tearing the left hand in such
a frightful manner that amputation was
necessary just above the wrist The
young man showed a great deal of grit
in refusing to take an anaesthetic during
the operation, which waa performed by
Dre. Sixta and Woods. This accident
is exceedingly lamentable, since the
young man is maimed for life. Schuy

Columbus men Saturday last secured
contracts on the new barn that James
Kinsman is about to erect on his farm,
Clear creek, Polk county. The competi
tion was with Bellwood dealers, but
Hughes for lumber, eta, Easton for
hardware, and D. N. Miner & Son for the
work were the successful contractors.
The barn is 28x42, and ia to be complete
in all its belongings. One of the best
things about good structures is that they
become patterns for others who follow in
making improvements, and this one, no
doubt will be an object lesson for a large
section of country around it One of the
features of the inside will of course be a
hay-carrier.
The District Mhswmarylioeiety of

Saturday and Sunday. A number of
delegates were present and the programs

The other day a farmer drove into
town with a wagon load of live stock, in
which were a calf, a couple of sheep,
some chickens and a goose or two. It
was a fanny looking outfit and the sight
of it touched the wit of a high collared
town youth in a tender spot There waa
a motley gathering of loafers on the
corner and aa the farmer moved by, the
youth'aaug oat: "Say, Noah, your ark
aeems to be pretty well crowded today."
"Dont worry," promptly replied the
granger, "I saved a place for the jackass

the face of the youth aa the farmer pro

The spraying of frai t trees dosa'aot
seem to be altogether satisfactory and
ao other means of destroying thejaaecta
that prey upon orchards have been de
vised and among them the favorite
promises to be a device consisting of a
shallow tin can about two feet square,
surmounted by an old fashioned, wick
lamp in the center of two tin plates
crossed at right angles. The idea is
that the insects (which lay the eggs that
afterwards prove destructive), will' be
attracted to the light; will strike the
upright plates surrounding it and fall
into the kerosene lielow and perish. It
ia a great scheme, and if the lights are
kept among the trees these nights
doubtless very many insects will be pre
vented from being born.
The shirt waist for men during the
coming season is making more than the
ususl mere talk. Manufacturers have
been very busy during the past winter
making the comfortable garments, and
now will spend considerable of their
time in manufacturing public opinion in
favor of their use. All kinds of sugges
tions are being used, among them, seem
ingly, the most powerful being that'the
garment ia really a man's and not a
woman's, being simply a modification of
the "lord of creation" as he has been
wont to appear for centuries in his shirt
sleeves, about his every-day work in
summer time. If there is to be a change
a fashion let it be modeled on lines of
usefulness and not on mere gaudy show.
The following from the Osceola
Record is but a fair index in a general
way of what is happening in all this por
tion of fair Nebraska: "Two land sales
took place here yesterday which shows
the advance made in prices the past few
years. T. D. Richards bought 80 acres
about four miles north of town with no
improvements except that it is broken
out, and paid $3200 for it He bought it
of Geo. B. Luft, who bought it three
years ago for $1900. After selling to
Mr. Richards he bought a quarter sec
tion from -J. L. Makeever for $5600.
This quarter was a part of the Shank
land near Beulah with very inferior im
provements buta splendid piece of land.
Mr. Makeever bought it in January
1896, for $2700. There is no better farm
ing country in the world than Polk
county when it rains, and in the thirty
years of settlement rain has failed very
seldom. Stand up for Polk county."
George Winslow and Fred. Brugge
man were coming down from Humphrey
Sunday, having in their wagon a jack
thinking to haul him across the country
in quicker time than he could travel on
all fours. When nearing Platte Center,
on a sidling road, the jack lurched to
the lower side, and George says that
what then happened was done the quick
est ever he saw anything. He looked
around, and then he knew that the team
plunged ahead, he and his companion
with the seat and some boards were
thrown to the ground about eight feet
the team ran away, throwing the jack
out of the wagon and dragging him
about fifty yards. They were caught at
the edge of Platte Center by Miss Anna
Webster. George's right fore arm (the
ulna) was broken near the wrist and
the wrist put out of place. He walked
a mile and had it fixed up. Mr. Brugge

"About thirty-five Odd Fellows went to

themselves at the banquet table which
was groaning under the weight of good

If you realized as do those who have
been there what a delightful experience
a month in California is, you would not
fail to take advantage of the low rates to
San Francisco which the Burlington
offers on account of the Epworth League

The cost of reaching California will be
reduced one-half. Add to this that the
summer climate of San Francisco is very
nearly perfect, and it is easy to under
stand why tone of thousands are eagerly
looking forward to what in their opin
ion, will be the holiday of a lifetime.

aayata ooald throw aome aide light oa'
the subject that would be of use to the
committee ia their work of determining
what ought to be done.
Ia discussing thie matter with a Joca
hai reporter, oae citizea presents thie
geaeralview: Present eoaditioaeaaoald
bsdkturbsdaa little aa possible. The
geaeral trend of some portions of the
city seems to be a fall toward the east;
in others toward the south. Different
degrees of fall may be found profitable
with different streets, each section being'
a subordinate part of the system, all
working harmoniously together for the
sad ia view. A survey would give the
facta to guide upon, aad would save all
it would east in expense.
There ia a late ordinance in regard to
permanent" sidewalks, requiring that
they ahall be laid to the established
grade, which, it would seem, will be im
possible to enforce until s grade ahall
have been established.
Many oases have occurred in the busi
ness portion of the city (two that we
know personally of in the block where
The JovaxAii ia eiluated) where property
owners desired to know the grade before
laying their sidewalk, but were answered
by City Engineer Arnold: "Yoa can
guess it just ss well as I can." It will
be aetentilo, accurate and ap-to-aow not
to guess any more in thie matter.
The sanitary considerations are doubt
less fsr more important than any other,
and these come when the drainage of the
city ia to be provided for.
The city haa just about practical expe
rience enough in a general way to know
that a good sewerage system for the
entire city would be s vast improvement
over present conditions and conduce
greatly to the health and comfort of the
people.
The Journal believes that whatever
ahall be done, the mayor and council
will do with reference to the general
welfare, without special favor to any
particular locality, but it ia alwaya best
that special interests be represented by
those concerned.
