Two hundred cases of typhoid fever
were reported at Topeka, Kansas, re

TnE largest watermelon patch in the

It is claimed that the average price of
coal at the mines in Colorado and Wyo

pay from $5 to $8 a ton. A great num
ber of our people would like to know
how the difference is distributed.
R. J. Stixsox, republican candidate
for district judge, has been practicing
law in Dodge county for fifteen years,
and is looked upon by bis fellow citizens
of Fremont as a man of clean, moral
habits and one who will preside as judge
in a just manner.
Almost every one who is in the habit
of attending political meetings remem
bers having heard orators on the stump
make the declaration that the removal
of the duty on foreign coal would reduce
the price of fuel and break up the coal
combines. Has it?

Judge Howard, the erudite editor of
the Columbus Telegram, who has been
howling "clean campaign" pulled the
stopper from his mud bottle last week
and proceeded to turn it on Judge
Barnes. Mad throwing seems to be the
only campaign the democrats can put
against Judge Barnes. Madison Chron
icle. The Central City republican remarks
that it has been-receiving some interest
ing communications in regard to the
backet shop and get rich-quick evils, but
what is bothering it moat is the exac
tions of the ready print trust in Ne
braska, which has the country publisher
down, and is sinking its knee into the
pit of his stomach.
One of our exchanges in the south
part of the state standing up for Ne
braska, the situation is summed up like
this: "The crop of wheat and oats is a
record-breaker; the yield of grass is
anprecedented; the corn crop is fair in
' spite of flood and frost, and there are
more hogs, cattle and sheep now waiting
for marketthan ever before in the
state's history."
The Jaws of Lincoln have been cele

i self restraint.
PROF. I. H. BRITELL.
Prof. L H. Britell, the republican can
didate for coanty superintendent of
schools, k a man especially well fitted
for the position of overseer of the educa
tion of the many hundred children in'
the country schools ia theirducational
advancements, which is left, by virtue of
his office, to the county superintendent.
Prof. Britell has an excellent record as
teacher, aa a man of highest moral stand
ing, as an untiring worker in whatever
he has to do, and any one who is
acquainted with him will not doubt for
a second that the office would not pros
per under his charge. Although Mr.
Britell may be classed as a Platte county
man, having taught in the county since
1884, he has been too busy to make the
acquaintance of but few outside the
school room. It is a fact, however, that
one-half of the teachers now employed
as such throughout the county, have
received their beet years of school train
ing in the high school under Prof.
Britell's efficient training. The high
standing of the teachers of the county
today is largely due to his work in the
high school, for the last years of school
life of the young people gives more of
the character to their first years of prac
tical work, than many years of previous
study, and the girl or boy fresh from the
high school almost invariably uses the
methods and discipline taught by their
last instructor, for their own school
room.
Prof. Britell has taught in Platte
county since 1884, his first school being
in district No. 47, which he served for
two years. He then taught in district
No. 63, and in 1891 was elected to a posi
tion in the Third ward school in Colum
bus. For twelve years past he has been
in the high school, most of the time as
principal, which, next to the superin
tendent's position is the most difficult
place to fill in any city school.
The position of superintendent should
be kept entirely from political influence,
and the voters should consider only the
best interests of the children, whose
future success or failure depends largely
upon the teacher who is placed over
them and who, in turn, can not make the
best progress without a competent super
intendent back of him.
Mr. Britell has had twenty years' ex
perience of actual school work in this
county, and besides the school room
experience, he has taken extra courses
of studies in universities during summer
months, thus keeping in touch with the
constantly improving methods in educa
tional lines.
THOMAS HOWARD.
Mr. Howard, of Lindsay, republican
candidate for county clerk, is gaining
votes every day, and the chances for his
election are good. Those who know him
are convinced that he is the man for the
office, and to those who do not know
him, we ask that you read the following
sketch of his life and consider if he is
not worthy your suffrage.
Mr. Howard was born May 9, 1848, in
Athens county, Ohio. At the age of
fifteen years, in July, 1863, he enlisted
in the 63d Ohio infantry, and served his
country well as a soldier to the end of
the civil war.
In 1866 he crossed the "plains," going
to Colorado where for twenty-two years
he engaged in mining.
Mr. Howard came to Platte county in
1888 and settled on his farm one mile
south of Lindsay where he still resides.
Besides conducting his farm he is engag
ed in the buying and selling of grain.
He is a man of good common school
education, and has an abundance of
good practical knowledge of business
and farming, which are necessary ad
juncts for a county official.
Mr. Howard is a temperate man in his
habits, but not a prohibitionist. His
friends say of him that he "attends to
his own business, and is a modest man
in his actions and living."
A man of Mr. Howard's type makes an
excellent officer and you will do well to
use your influence in his behalf.
In all probability the question wheth
er the regents of the state university
should furnish text books to the stu
dents of that institution at cost, will be
injected into the campaign and the can
didates for the regency will be given an
opportunity to state their position, says
the Omaha Bee. The parents of the
students are deeply interested in the
matter, and as it is too late for the
present regents to do anything this
term, it is more than likely the candi
dates will be called-upon to tell what
they intend to do about it if elected.
C. 8. Allen of Lincoln, one of the repub
lican nominees says: "I have had no
opportunity to look up the law in the
case, though I know the statutes con
tain a provision that the regents of the
university should furnish text books at
cost. If no appropriation has been
made for them to do this, and they
should attempt to use the temporary
university fund, then of course the mat
ter would be up to the additor to say
whether he would issue the warrants!
If such a plan on the part of the regents
would be for the best interests of the
students and it could be legally done,
then of course I would be in favor of
the regents furnishing the books. How
ever, I have given the matter no thought
whatever, and am not familiar with the
provisions of the law, and neither have
I investigated to see the good points of
such a scheme."
The latest Nebraska oil news comes
from Ports, a small station near Papil
lion. It is said the water in some of the
wells cannot be used because of its oily
condition. During the Portal boom,
about fifteen years ago, some private
parties made borings on a small scale,
but owing to the scarcity of money, the
matter was dropped before any results
were obtained. The question is being
agitated of organizing a company among
the citizens of Portal and neighboring
towns for the purpose of raising the
necessary funds to push the work at
once. Rumors are that the Missouri
Pacific intend to try and locate the oil
and will begin as soon as they are con
vinced the oil is there.
John Hladkt of Fremont has sued
the Standard Cattle company for $15,000
damages for a broken leg. He alleges
in his petition that a year ago last
August he was driving a team for the
company and was directed by the fore
man to turn out on a narrow road and
let a team pass. The wagon overturned
and he fell underneath, breaking his leg
and otherwise in jaring him to the extent
of $16400.
Railboad men who thought the car
shortage would be remedied and that a
congestion of freight would be averted
are beginning to look sideways at the
blockade proposition and wonder how
they can sqaeeze through the winter
observes theliincoln Star. They would
much prefer that the farmers and stock
raisers would keep part of their products
at home and reserve them for shipment
at some future time. The conditions
are really alarming and not without
cause. The shipments are being made
with unprecedented regularity aad the
roads are utterly unable to handle the
supply. The trouble is notoonfinedto
a few roads, but all of the lines west of
the Missouri river are suffering from
want of roUingatock. In Kansas, where
the grain and corn crop has been better
than for years, grain is piled on the
ground at many ahipping points and the
roads are unable to famish ears. In
many places t the farmers are building
bins aa fast as they can thresh the grain.
A desperate hand-to-hand encounter
with an armed insarie man', who was de
termined to see President Roosevelt,
occurred in the vestibule of the White
House shortly before noon Monday.
The man, who gave his name as Peter
Elliott nd his home as Minneapolis,
was overpowered by the officers on duty
at the White House entrance and car
ried to a police van which had been
summoned. He waa placed in the van
in the custody of two ofaoers. Seeming
to realize then for the first time that he
was under arrest, Elliott began a furious
struggle with his captors for liberty
He drew a revolver and attempted to
shoot Officer James CissolL The officer
grabbed his hand and wrenched the
weapon from his grasp. He was taken
to the police station and afterward ad
judged insane. In Minneapolis, his
associates say he had been missing from
there several months. He was thought
to be peculiar, and talked much of
socialism.
Bests from the western part of the
state are being shipped through here to
Leavitt, Dodge county, where the fac
tory of the Standard Sugar company is
located. The factory started their
machinery this week, for business. The
first shipment received was thirty-fire
car loads from North Platte, which test
ed 18 per cent sugar, a much better test
than last year's crop produced, and they
are large and well formed. The factory
managers at Leavitt estimate that they
will handle this season over 65,000 tons
which will require more than three
months to work up. The beets from the
western part of the state are said to be
much better than those raised in the
vicinity of Fremont, the heavy rains
doing damage to the crop near the
latter place.
Ok complaint of County Attorney
George W. Wertz a warrant was issued
out of police court in Schuyler Thursday,
for the arrest of Matthew Decker on the
charge of running a train through the
city at a greater speed than ia allowed
by ordinance. Decker was the engineer
on the Union Pacific train that ran into
and killed Mrs. Drapella on September
4. The coroner's jury found the rail
road to be at fault for not complying
with the ordinance and requested the
city and county authorities to take the
matter up. Attorney Wertz is prose
cuting for the city, as that office is
vacant, and the aim is to have flagmen
placed at the railroad crossings through
the city.
J. G. Reedeb will receive a large vote
outside his own party, not only because
he is known as an excellent attorney,
but because the people want a judge in
the west part of the district. The fol
lowing from the Central City Nonpareil
is indicative of the sentiment expressed
all over the district: "James G. Reader
of Columbus, one of the republican can
didates for judge in this district, was in
town Saturday looking after matters
pertaining to his campaign. Mr. Reeder
makes friends wherever he goes and im
presses all that he is a man worthy of
the position of judge. He is not a
stranger in this county and will poll a
big vote here."
The David City Banner asks, and the
same inquiry is being made throughout
the length and breadth of the state:
"If Judge Barnes is a railroad tool and
a man of limited legal ability why did
Sullivan and Holoomb, the two fusion
members of the supreme court, favor
him as one of the republican members of
the supreme court commission? Again,
if Barnes is the kind of a man the World-
Herald and its satelites through the
state represent him to be, why did Judge
Sullivan, the democratic nominee say,
when re-nominated, the republican nom
inee was a personal friend of his and that
he considered him a worthy rival?"
Ax inquiry ordered oy the Vatican
regarding a movement favorable to the
establishment of a western Catholic
patriarchate to include all Anglo-Saxon
countries which might be called semi
independent of Rome has just been com
pleted, according to a dispatch from
Rome. Evidence was found of the ex
istence of a movement of this kind among
the advanced section of the clergy,
especially the French and Irish, who
wish to join forces with America to give
to the church a more modern and liberal
impulse.
If the rumor in the air that the crops
of Nebraska are so abundant this year
that the railroads are going to be
swamped for want of cars enough to
move them and will therefore be com
pelled to raise the freight rates 10 per
cent or so, are well founded, the farm
ers should take time by the forelock and
make ample provisions for storing their
grain, and holding it for six months, or
a year, if necessary. That will pretty
effectually relieve the railroads of their
panicky feeling. Dunbar Review.

The republican electors of the city of
Columbus, Platte county, Nebraska, are
hereby called to meet in mass conven
tion at the council chamber Saturday
evening, October 10th, at 8 o'clock for
the purpose of nominating two justices
of the peace, two constables, and for the
transaction of any other business which
may properly come before the conven
tion. E. H. Chambers,
Chairman Central Committee.
Monday's Lincoln Journal says:
"The Wilson damage suit ended in the
district court Saturday evening at 6
o'clock with a verdict from the jury in
favor of the Union Pacific railroad com
pany. Wilson was an employe of the
railroad at Columbus and while working
under an engine was injured. He
brought suit for $25,000, alleging in jur
ies that would incapacitate him from
labor. The company alleged that he
was simulating injury. The attorneys
of the plaintiff will appeal the case to
the supreme court."
Woman's Club.
The first general meeting of the year
of the Columbus Woman's club was held
Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
H. P. H. Oehlrich, with a fairly good
attendance present. The election of two
officers to take the place of vacancies
Mrs. Rorer, deceased, and 'Mrs. Poet
resigned, secretary and treasurer res
pectively, resulted in the selection of
Miss Rossa Wiggins as secretary and
Mrs. J. B. Gietzen, treasurer. The new
president, Mrs. F. H. Geer, made a speech
at the opening of the program outlining
the work of the club for the year, and
among other things spoke strongly in
favor of the idea to work fo'r a public
rest room, which would be fitted up for
women and children coming from the
country, or strangers in the city.
A number of the club members are
anxious to work for the promotion of the
public library, to secure more books and
to arouse more interest among the public
for the enlargement of the rooms, etc
Mrs. Geer and Mrs. Garlow went today,
Tuesday, from here to Fremont as dele
gates to the state federation which is in
session there this week. Miss Bessie
Sheldon, who is corresponding secretary
for tho federation, went down Monday
to be on hand for the work. Mrs. Reeder
and Mrs. Musser, who were elected alter
nates, may go, and there will be a num
ber of other ladies present at different
times during the week.
At the close of the program, Mrs.
Oehlrich served refreshments and among
other things some German cake, for
which she is noted among her friends as
being an adept in baking.
The Shakespeare department held
their first meeting of the year last Tues
day evening at the home of Miss Shel
don, and decided to study the play of
King Lear during the winter. The first
lesson meeting will be held Tuesday, the
13th, with Mrs. Geer. Rev. Hslsey will
conduct the Shakespeare study this
year, and a large number is expected to
register in that department.
Foot Ball.
The foot ball game which was played
here last Saturday between the Lincoln
and Columbus High school teams was
witnessed by a large and enthusiastic
crowd of people. The Lincoln boys won
the game by a score of 31 to 5, but at no
time did they find it easy to go through'
the Columbus line. There was only, one
long run made and one goal kicked.
The visitors did not want to give Colum
bua credit for the touch down which was
made in this way: At the kick-off How
ard kicked the ball over the goal line
and one of the Columbus boys felTupon
it before any of the opposing team' had
touched it. The Columbus boys feel
very much encouraged over the fact that
they were even able to score against
Lincoln which has held the state cham
pionship among the high schools for
several yearsT For this season Lincoln
has games with high school teams from
Lead, South Dakota, Das Moines, Iowa,
and Kansas City, Missouri. The line-up

It is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles of minor importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one of the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the Dr. White Electric
Comb, patented Jan. 1, 99. These won
derful combs positively cure dandruff,
hair falling out, sick and nervous head
aches, and when used in connection
with Dr. White's' Electric Hair Brush
are positively guaranteed to make
straight hair curly in 25 days' time.
Thousands of these electric combs have
been sold in the various cities of the
Union, and the demand is constantly
increasing. Oar agents are rapidly be
coming rich selling these combs. They
positively sell on sight. Send for sam
ple, lien's size 35c, ladies' 50c half
price while we are introducing them.
