Johk Spbbchke of Sohayler, at oae
time one of the leading populists of the
state, aad holding the office of oil inspec
tor when that party was in power in the
state, recently published the following
in his Free Lance, which is the expres
sion of many of the leading populists of
this county:
"This editor did not attend the popu
list county convention this year and he
had no wteation to do so, because he is
not ataliating with the party, bat it
seams that in spite of that known fact
the convention placed our name on the
list of delegates to the state convention.
Believing that the majority who did that
acted in good' purpose we can only
appreciate the act and return thanks,
bat cannot accept the act This editor
is a populist in belief and probably will
remaia so aa long 'as the issues before
the people and the stand taken by that
party remains the same, but we do not
care to belong to the party as it stands
today and especially so in Nebraska.
As a delegate last year to the populist
state convention we left the meeting ere
it had concluded its labors and came
home disgusted, deciding then that that
was the last That once great party in
this state which was the party of the
people has for some years been only a
private association of voters who were
more sabservieBt to the dictation of a
few leaders, who pushed them about to
serve personal ends, than ever the
machine -conducted republican party
was. When the leaders like Bryan and
Allen and Harrington and Smyth and
others will leave the conventions and go
to some private room to talk over the
situation and purposely leave the con
ventions to sit all night awaiting, not
considering that they could act without
those dictators, it is time that the rank
and file quit playing the part of dum
mies. The plan was to wait until the
delegates to the two conventions wore
themselves out and then they could be
bandied by those schemers who have no
place in any true populist convention
which is supposed to represent the voice
of the people and not indulge the wishes
of those manipulators. The populist
party in Nebraska became only a leech
on democracy, whfch was not there by
democratic choice, and Senator Allen
was the business end of that leech which
did the blood sucking.''
SELECTING SEED CORN.
We urged our readers only a week or
two ago to keep a close watch on the
fields from which they expect to select
their seed corn next year and mark for
use as seed the best ears that ripen
earliest Our reason for calling atten
tion to it again at this time is that many
of our readers have at least small plats
of corn of seed brought from a distance,
generally south, which they are trying
to acclimate and thus secure the quality
of good breeding, or corn of good type,
with ss great a quantity of corn as can
he grown in the latitude in which they
live. It is quite probable that much of
this corn will be killed by an early frost
but some of it will ripen, and it is these
ripe ears that should be chosen for seed
the next year. In about three years
these purer types of corn can be accli
mated in different parts of the country
and add from five to ten bushels of corn
per acre to the ordinary yield.
Certainly this is worth looking after,
and we are quite sure it will work, but
the farmer must keep an eye on these
early mataring ears and mark them so
that he can secure earliness with quality
and quantity. The ears that get in this
year out of the way of probable frost
will be worth a good deal of money.
Wallaces' Farmer.
Thk following paragraph in the daily
papers Monday indicate the condition of
the rivers of the state. It is not out of
place here to remind the public that the
Loup river is no by any means dry.
That river has been found to be the
most uniform flowing stream ever meas
ured by the United States geological
survey, the lowest mouth ever measured
carried an average of 2300 cubic feet per
second. It would be well for the Fre
mont canal promoters to study the con
ditions of the Loup before relying im
plicitly in the waters of the Platte.
"Many of the irrigation ditches of the
state are dry just now, when water is
needed for fall irrigation. On August
31 the Platte river was gauged at Ash
land, showing 40,000 cubio feet of flow
per second. Now the river is practically
dry at Grand Island, the flow being but
a few hundred feet per second. At Big
Springs, in Deuel county, the South
Platte has been little more than a rivulet
all summer. As early aa April 25 the
gauge showed but ten cubic feet of flow
and a month later the river bed was
nothing but dry sand."
Suspicion's having been aroused that
there was considerable illicit selling of
alcoholic drink going on in Albion, says
the News, the authorities made an in
vestigation last Saturday afternoon. At
Lidell's drug store quite an assortment
of drinkables was found and were taken
possession of, and the proprietor was
duly arraigned for keeping the same
with intent to sell. Later. A suit for
damages was began in the county court
by Lidell against Wm. Crouch, who
assisted the oScers in making the
search. The grounds of the complaint
are that the said Wm. Crouch locked
the door and prevented customers from
entering the store of the complainant,
which act damaged him to the amount
of $200, for which sum he asks judg
ment Tax regents of the state university

The high school foot ball team play
ed their first game of the season Satur
day against a plucky team from the
Genoa high school. The game opened
with a kick-off by Howard sending the
ball nearly over the goal line, and was
returned well down the field by a husky
Genoa lad who broke away from several
Columbus boys before be was downed.
This first play looked a little discourag
ing for Columbus but it did not take
long to show the superiority of the home
team and when the game was over Co
lumbus stood 69 to Genoa 0. The game
was won by good team work although
there were several excellent individual
plays made on both sides. Advantage of
the new rules wss taken once by Colum
bus which gave them over 40 yards gain.
The line-up of the Columbus team was
as follows: Belford, center; Pueschel,
right guard; Deland, left guard; Dick
inson, right tackle; Jerome, left guard;
Farrand, right end; Baker, left end;
McCloud, substitute; Beoher,'right half;
Kotlar, left half; Howard, full back;
Elliott, quarter back.
Acciaumtal Death of Heary Indat.
Citizens here were shocked Monday
afternoon to learn of the death of Henry
Rudat one of the old settlers of the
county, living four miles southwest
of town.
Mr. Rudst left home about 1030
o'clock Monday morning, with a wagon
filled with shelled corn for the Columbus
market He was found about 11:30
o'clock lying on the north approach of
the Loup river bridge, his team standing
quietly by.
Parties passing over the bridge who
first saw him, immediately notified
Sheriff Byrnes and the body was brought
soon after to Gass' undertaking rooms.
The left side of the head received a
bruise as if from the weight of the wagon
wheel, but it is thought thst the wheel
did not pass over the head, and that
death was caused from a fall, which
broke the neck, and not from the wagon
passing over him. To all appearance, the
accident occurred on account of the
neck-yoke breaking, which let down the
tongue of the wagon causing a sudden
jolt and throwing Mr. Rudat out of the
wagon, in front of the wheels. The
double-tree then broke and the
horses were standing a short distance
from the wagon when found.
Henry Rudat wss born May 13, 1854,
in BurgBdorf, Prussia. He came to
America in 1875 and settled in Omaha.
In 1878 he came to Platte county, living
on a farm until 1899 when he sold out
and returned to Germany, only remain
ing a few months, however, and .when
coming back he purchased the farm upon
which he has since made his home.
The deceased was married June !,
1883, to Miss Emma Martz and to them
have been born fourteen children, four
of whom have passed to the world
beyond. Besides the wife and ten chil
dren, who survive him, he left his aged
mother Mrs. Henrietta Rudat and one
brother and one sister. His oldest son
is about 20 years of age.
Mr. Rudat was a devoted man to his
family and since the death of a son about
four months ago, has constantly mourned
for him. Since that time he had never
wished to be left alone,. and the trip
Monday was the first he had made since
the desth of the child, without some
member of his family with him. Before
leaving for town he returned three times
to bid his wife good bye.
Funeral services will be held Wed
nesday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the
home, Rev. Nentnarker officiating. In
terment will be made in the Duncan
cemetery.
From the Leader.
There has been quite a change in the
run of the conductors on the branches

Speice has the Albion run.
Kenneth, a ten year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Welch of Monroe township
met with a serious accident Tuesday
afternoon. The accident happened just
after school was dismissed for the day,
and the little fellow was attempting to
climb into the rearend of a buggy driven
by a son of Rev. Lunbery, who whipped
up his team which caused Kenneth to
fall backward and catching his foot be
tween a brace and the buggy box receiv
ed a horrible fracture of his leg. The
leg was broken at the knee, it wss also
split and torn free from the ligaments.
Dr. Davis was called and reduced the
fracture after which Drs. Martyn and
Evans of Columbus were called to con
sult in the matter. The physicians hope
to be able to save the leg.
Mrs. Jessie Mapes of Ft Niobrara has
brought action in the district court
against her husbaad, Lieat Wm. Mapes,
for divorce and a restraining order pre
ventiag her husband from taking their
oldest eon to the Philippine islands.
She also saes him for $400 which she
claims he obtained from her through
fraud. The plaintiff in her petition
charges her husband with cruelty, and
says that he coatinaally insulted her in
public, threatened her life ia private by
pladag a loaded revolver against her
head, oftea slept with a loaded revolver
on his breast, aad that about the first of
August he ordered her from their home
and told her Bever to return. Resder-J:
Hobart of Columbus are attoraeys for
the plaintiff. Mrs. Mapes is now with

Corn came in to September very much
behind time, we mean the average crop
of the country, and the full extent of the
damage by frost cannot be fully deter
mined just now. Three days after the
first frost I asked ten men over the route
what the damage in their estimation was,
and no two of the men gave me the same
answer. But it looks to a man up the
tree that feeding of soft corn will again
be something of an issue.
A movement is started, in fact a peti
tion is now being' circulated, the object
in view is to cut a ditch from Lost creek
down to the Loup river. We have not
seen the petition but understand the
place is near the Connors farm. Mr.
Sheldon & Son are enthusiastic enough
over it to be willing to donate a quarter
of a mile right of way for the ditch.
Some of the other large land holders are
very mach interested in the undertak
ing. Mr. Dodds has the petition and
any one who has land that Lost creek
has been flooding for years, should look
to their interests and help the work
along. Push the movement through.
This will be a grand accomplishment, if
this water can be turned off to the river.
Land is too valuable in these parts to
be constantly flooded so as to be useless,
ss hss been the case in recent years.
Only those who have been effected by
this creek know of the damage it has
caused. So let every one that has prop
erty near this creek put their shoulder
to. the wheel and make it a lost creek
indeed.
