SOME GOOD ADVICE.
It's always darkest jost before
the
dawn: saost aaltry before tbe
shower; you're always hungriest jost
before tbe dinner bell rings; saw the
most tired jost before bedtime. And
yon are jost as -likely to be the
discouraged just before things
your way. xae uoe mast go out as tar
ss it can before it begins to oome in. So
dont give up at this time. Stick. The
homely nsg often comes under the wire
fret, because it didn't know it was beat
en on the first quarter. Anybody can
start off with a rush but few come in
with a hurrah. Bearer City Times.
Tribune.
REEDER FOR DISTRICT JUDGE.
J.G. Reader, the republican candidate
for judge of this judicial district is a
man who needs no introduction to this
community, as there is no attorney in
the county who has s wider acquaintance
with the people than Mr. Reeder. But
to those'who do not knowhim, and who
have any doubt aa to their giving him
their support we would respectfully ask
yen to examine bis record.
A successful attorney is one who has
been intrusted with oases of importance
and has had the experience and knowl
edge of tbe atudy and practice of law,
and Mr. Reeder has these attainments.
It is not safe to trust the affairs of the
law to inexperienced heads.
Mr. Reeder has been a resident here
for many years, and has practiced law in
this city for twenty-one years. He has
an unusual record as a successful attor
ney, over seventy-five per cent of his
cases in district court having been found
favorable to bis clients. Mr. Reeder has
had cases in the United States supreme
court, and probably has been interested
in more esses in tbe supreme court of the
state than any other attorney in this
section.
His practice is not confined only to
Platte county, but he is well known as a
practicing attorney in central Nebraska,
and in the counties comprising this judi
cial district will receive the support of
many outside his party.
Another reason why this sod the coun
ties west of us in our district should
give Mr. Reeder a big majority, is the
convenience by which a judge from
Columbus can reach the west part of the
district on short notice, enabling parties
to dispose of cases as speedily as possi
ble, withont'the aggravating necessity of
waiting six months or a year, while the
cases are being held under advisement
The cry of the democratic press that
this campaign ahonld.be non-partisan, ia
well suited to Mr. Boeder's position as
he has never made himself prominent in
politics, and we believe this is the first
political office that he has asked for, at
the hands of his party.
As to his standing in the community
i a citizen, Mr. Reeder has hosts of
friends who will vouch for his honesty,
sincerity, and other characteristics which
constitute a good judge.
The following, taken from the Fre
mont Tribune, tells of the respect in
which Mr. Stinson is held in his com
munity, also a reference to Mr. Reeder,
the candidate from our city:, "The
action of the judicial convention for this
district in nominating candidates for the
district bench was forestalled by the
pretty certain knowledge of what would
be done. It was well understood in
advance that Robert J. Stinson of Dodge
and J. G. Reeder of Platte would be the
nominees. These men were unanimously
named by tbe convention. Mr. Stinson
is a gentleman well known to Tribune
readers. He has been a resident of this
county for more than twenty years. As
a private citizen he has always merited
the high respect in which he is held by
those who have come to know him. As
a lawyer he has striven hard for success.
His application to work has broadened
his knowledge and equipped him beyond
most men in his profession. He is serv
ing his second term as county attorney,
in which office he has acquitted himself
with credit His popularity was attest
ed by an unusual majority a year ago
against an opponent of great ability.
Mr. Stinson's home county is certain to
o handsomely by him for the higherd
and more honorable place for which he
now becomes a candidate. Mr. Reeder
holds about the same relative position
to the bar and people of Platte county
aa does Mr. Stinson in this county. He
has for many years been an honored and
respected citizen of Columbus. He is a
man of tbe strictest moral integrity. He
ia a successful lawyer and will bring to
the bench qualifications that will in no
suffer it to deteriorate."
Ak eighteen inch vein of anthracite
hss been developed in the large vein of
coal near Thayer, Wyoming, owned by
the Union Pacific. The streak gives
promise of widening with depth and it
is believed that here the first anthracite
mine in Wyoming will be developed.
The Thayer anthracite occurs in a large
vein of soft coal which is to be opened
up in a short time. Recently a test was
made with this coal and Rock Springs
coal. Seven tons of Thayer coal gener
ated steam sufficient to carry a 1,000-ton
freight train ss far as twelve tons of
Rock Springs coal will do, so that even
though tbe anthracite streak does not
turn out as expected the vein will be
worked for the high grade of soft coal
The Union Pacifiois preparing to lay a
line to the new field and will open up at
least one large mine. An attempt hss
been made to keep the news of the an
thracite find quiet but information has
leaked oat and considerable excitement
has been crested in the coal fields of the
part of Wyoming.
Tax case of The State of Nebraska
against Richard A. Gould is on trial in
Central City. The defendant is the Free
Methodist preacher who was brought
back upon requisition from North
Dakota ia the month of July charged
with stealing away Eva Flint young
girl under the age of 18 years. After
about a half day a jury was sworn to try
the case. A good deal of interest is
manifested in the trial, as almost imme
diately upon tba convening of court the
large court room was crowded with
onlookers and many were accorded bat
standing room. Tlw defendant is a man
about 8B years of age. His wife is pres

The bride, who is the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. G.O. Burns, has lived in
this community all her life and has
many friends. While the groom has
been a resident of Columbus bat a abort

J. J. Barnes will next year farm the

John Grosnioklaus who will move on to
the farm he recently purchased from
Albert Stenger near Platte Cantor.
The rains and cloudy damp weather
the past week has greatly delayed thresh

busied themselves by plowing and seed
ing rye and wheat and some have been
cutting up the earlier planted corn.
While Rev. Papenhaussn was ia attend

John and Adolph Ruppreet have rent

in prime order.
Justin Hefellfinger now on one' of the
Sheldon farms has rented the Stevens

We predict lower prices for pork this
winter, with every pen on this upland
filled with healthy hogs, and the rail
roads seeking to tax the western farmer
higher by raising the stock rates on
western shippers. It seems to us as if
tbe above two causes alone would make
the price lower to the farmer.
There is a large crop of corn in this
