A post office will be established
Woodville, Platte county, in July.
aeph Apgar, postmaster.
J. R. Jones has been appointed post
master at Walker, this county, instead of
T. Thomazin, resigned. The depart
ment is averse generally to changing the
name of a post office for slight oaasea.
The disarrangement of the hooks of the
office and the inconvenience resulting to
the miscarriage of mail matter is regard
ed as sufficient.
AbnerTurnes and P. B. Bonesteel
were up the valley the first of the week,
and returned with some fine specimens
of oats, wheat and corn from the farm of
J. II. Watts. They report crops as all
looking well. Mr. Wkttm oaage hedge is
in first rate condition, his apple and
cherry trees in excellent trim and the
. latter !earing fruit.
Albert Cunkey, while attempting to
cross the Loup river on last Sabbath,
oame near losing his life. He was not a
good swimmer, and when he reached the
current and found he could not cross, he
started back, but getting tired, sank, fil
ling his mouth with water, and would
have perished had not Daniel Smith
gone in after him and brought him out.
Word has been received from Mr. W.
8. Withers of Atlanta. Ga.. that be has
completed all his arrangements to es
tablish here an iron foundry and expects
to have the first run of iron by the 30th
of July. We see no reason why this en
terprise will not prove to be a good fin
ancial investment to the founder, as it
will certainly be an important accession
to the business of our city.
Platte county will send a bunch of
enthusiastic Bryan aboutera to the Den
ver convention. Among those who have
announced their intention to go are
Edgar Howard, Chris Oruenther, G. B.
Speice, Sheriff Oarrig, Senator Byrnes,
Jodge Sullivan, Mayor Pbillipps, Fred
Stenger, Louis Held, Max Rothlietner,
Barney Byrnes. Fred Pratt and August
Boettoher. In Nance county, Jim Tan
ner and O. E. Green are working to se
cure enough Democrats to fill a passeng
er car, and if they succeed Nance county
will be without a democrat within its
borders during convention week. Up in
Boone county an offort is also being
made to get together a crowd that will
fill two oars, and republicans are helping
me democrats oy promising to assist in
swelling tne crowd to tne necessary
number. The probabilities are that
enough visitors will go from Columbus
and the towns on the Spalding and Nor
folk branches to make up a special train.
A letter received from our old friend
J. M. Curtis, with the Northern Pacific
railroad at West Duluth, Minnesota, has
the following to say of the weather up
on the lake: "Speaking of weather
reminds me of what Bill Nye said about
Duluth. He said the coldest winter he
ever saw was one summer in Duluth.
He also said that Duluth was the only
city where a man could spit four blocks.
Both statements are literally true. I
don't believe there has been twelve
hours of sunshine so far in June, and we
have had a tire in the office continually
all the time. May was also cold and wet.
Of course a letter at this time without a
mention of politics wonld seem rather
odd. By the time you get this you will
kaow who the nominees are at Chicago.
I presume in Platte county it looks as if
Bryan would be chosen at Denver.
Don't be deceived, as Ora Shannon
would aay, you can't find any Bryan men
this way with a Lick telescope."
For many yean the Chicago Tribune
has made a special effort to chronicle all
the Fourth of July aooidenta throughout
the country. Las: year the Tribunes'
report showed that more than 3000
people were killed and injured on the
Fourth last year, the number being
slightly less than the record of the year
previous. What will the harvest be.this
year? Due precaution should be taken
by parents and their children instruct
ed in the handling of fire works, fire-,
crackers, devil chasers, toy pistole and.
various other devices ror making a noise,
Among the victims of .last Fourth of
July who were killed, or died from in
juries received, were seventy-five children.

Now that spring is on
the way, would it not be
