W. A. Way played in exceptionally
hard luck,drawing fourteen splits in the
match game last Thursday night.
The young "fellers" had the "old' una'

when, by a series of splits and errors
they lost their nerve.

The Hagel allej s witnessed a most in
teresting match game last Thursday
night between the "olds" and the
'youngs." It was a hot contest from
the beginning and it looked as if young
blo:d would tell until Drake began his
series of strikes in the finish. In fact
the Greek youths of ancient times could
not have showed iojjetter form than did
Hart, Way, McEver, Drake and Snyder.
And the youthful features of Gregorins,
Graves, Becher. Hurzeler and Wadhams
bore the wrinkles of age befcue the
donghty "old men" got through with
them. These wrinkles were all smooth
ed out however, when the players joined
at the banquet table at the Vienna and
got outside of several quarts of Corbett's
extra selects, for which the "youngs"
paid hs a penalty for their weak arms.
Witnesses of the game and banquet
declare tbat Pat Hart was the happiest
man ever seen in Columbus. The score
was as follows:

Kearney 18 -Colombo 0.
The Kearney Military Academy foot
ball eleven played the Columbus high
school eleven at Columbus Saturday
and won a victory by a score of IS to
0.
The visitors made all their scores in
the first half of the game, after which
they were powerless to even have a
glimpse of the coveted goal.
Columbus kicked off when Kearney
secured the ball and lost it bnt twice
during the first half and scored three
touch-downs, and kicked goal three
times netting them 18 points.
At the beginning Gray of Columbus
was forced from the field by being
injured. He ssffered a broken
ankle. This greatly weakened
onr line-up and during the re
mainder of the first half Kearney
seemed to walk through onr boys at
wilL
The second half did not prove that
way and tha game continued to the
end one of the prettiest contests ever
witnessed on a foot ball field. Co
lumbus went in to score, and from
the beginning had Kearney on their
staff until they brought the ball
within six inches of a touch-down.
Here Kearney strengthened and with
stood center rnsnes. one after another
for three downs when onr boys comld
not gain an inch. This was the
nearest onr boys came to scoring.
After losing the ball to Kearney the
visitors gained a lew yards by center
rushes; and after being tightly crowd
ed in order to retain the ball before
the last down, punted for a short gain
and there th work finished with bnt
small result for either ide.
Though Columbus lost it waa a
nervy stand by a nervy bunch ; and
had the local displayed their training
qualities in the first half a they did
in the last the game woald hare ter
minated with a score much different.

Republican Candidates ?
The men to whom Platte county taxpayers, of all parties must look to break the "court house
ring" and to apply the rules of law and economy to the transactions of the county's business.
Try them one term If they don't live up to their pledges turn them out. Don,t be de
ceived by the eleventh hour statements of democratic candidates who have not
dared publicly to deny the statements made by the Journal from the official
records. "A change in the court house and lower taxes" is the watchword.
J. Dayton Stares, Republican Candidate for County Judge.
FROX HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE:
"I regard it an injustice to litigants and an abuse of official prerogative, as well as a corrupting political prac
tice to give the publication of all legal notices and official proceedings to some party paper as a compensation
for political services, regardless of the wishes of interested parties or value to the public."

BRUCE WEBB,
Republican candidate for sheriff. Every
body knows the popular auctioneer from
Creeton. As sheriff of Platte county he
will be satisfied with legal mileage. The
Madison Star-Mail, a democratic paper,
says of him: "If he were known in
Platte county as he is in Madison, that
800 democratic majority would look like
30 cents."' Creston, where he has lived
for 18 years, will give him a solid vote.

Dear Sri :
Pleae give space for the folio wUg
in your next wenks Journal :
as the only reuublican member of
the present county board of Platte
county I take much interest in Um
outcome of the coming election.
New Platte county has been governed
by the democratic party ever since I
cam') to to the county twenty-sevan
years ago. and I believe if a majority
of the republican officials coald be
elected this fu'l it would benefit the
taxpavers. O .e of the present mem
ber! of the Cv.unty board said at the
time the Investigation committee waa
at work on the Ernst and Bender
matter: "Let them that root go to
work."
I believe there ought to be a few
more republicans at the court house
to "root."
Yours Truly.

Potato Kings.
"Bun" and George Turner of onr city
were busy this season showing up the
"big ones" from near Greeley, Colorado,
on the potato growing question, and
they came next to ace high in doing it
too. Right near "Good Friday" the
boys had all their potato seed under
cover of mother earth which included
about twenty acres of well prepared soil
and now, after most careful culture and
earnest labor, are worry ing about a place
in which to store the fruits of their la
bor. Temporary relief came Saturday
when they received an order to ship a
car load at once to the hungry people at
Milwaukee. The car was shipped and
the btys topped the market. This is bnt
a trial order. It ia understood that a
special train is being arranged to leave
here immediately after election to com
plete the transportation of the balance
of the crop which is now under course
of harvesting. Hon. Peter McCaffery, a
good judge of the cereal, visited the
plantation Sunday and marveled at the
growth of the Turner boy's potatoes. He
says that he saw potatoes taken from a
single "hill" larger than a foot ball and
the boys say its a poor year for potatoes
too. No more proof ia required the
Turners have the belt for "spud" raising,

territory.
