J M4MIIH4HHttmUHM Files of the Journal, May 19, 1875. .lolin Browner is responsible for a po tato bun story that we do not remember to have beard befnre. Some years ago, a traveler stopped at the roadside; near Fort Calhoun, where a farmer had of field of forty acres ready to seed. The traveler asked him what be was going to put into it. He answered with much animation that he was going to sow onion seeds. "In all of it," said the traveler wonderingly. The farmer, stepping up close to him and whispering in bis ear, replied that be was going to plant potatoes, but be didn't like to talk it loud for fear the bngs would ,' bear him. The Hook and Ladder company met Monday night aud besides the regular business action was taken in regard to procuring fire buckets. Dan Faucette will make them. The foreman. A. J. Baker, made a few remarks, stating that there were a good many houses in town that the engine could not reach some of ibeir wood buckets were warped and "caved in," and the hoops falling off. The committee will raise all the money ti.ey can by subscription, and if tbey fail to get enough, the directors of the company will borrow the balance. We hope our citizens will give liberally to wards this worthy object. The buckets aie to be made of heavy harness leather to cost $3 each, cost at manufacturers $4. J. G. Koutson, county surveyor of Platte county, at our request has kindly furnished us with the number of acres and character of the government lands yet remaining in Platte county subject to homestead entry. We ler rn from him that a large portion of these will make choice homesteads, being in most in stances excellent farming lamis, and all good grazing lands for cattle and sheep. These are located in the northern portion of the county and are principally in townships 18, 19 and 20, and contains al together about 20,000 acrea This num ber of acres are close to settlements and not far distant from a good market pre sents a rare opportunity to men of small means to procure cheap land that will in a short time make a splendid farm. It is not reasonable to suppose that 20,000 acrea of land so well located will long remain unoccupied, and from which now anyone rany ronka his choice of 160 acres. If at all, your selection should be made soon. i Mrs. A. Saffron, mother of Fred Saff ron, died at her home on east Ninth street Wednesday morning, after a week's illness, death being due to con gestion of the liver. Mrs. Seffran has made this city her home for over twenty years. She leaves four children, Mrs. Frank Scott of Wenatchee, Washington, Mrs. O. M. McGinnis of Brookings, S. D., and Lillie and Fred of this city. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. All the latest shades and styles in WALL PAPER Paper Hanging and Decorating Sip Wriliag a Specially KAVANAUGH &BETTERTON Relatives in this city received the sad news of the death of H. J. Hendryx which occurred at 9 o'clock that evening at the home of his son. L. J. Hendryx. in Kearney. Death was caused by heart trouble, and until last Thursday he was in good health, but his condition since that time kept gettiug worne. Mr. Hen dryx was a native of Michigan, but in' the eighties be moved west, locating a half mile west of Oconee, where he was extensively engaged in farming and stock feeding. In the nineties he pur chased what was then known as the swamp, two miles west of Monroe, and his energy and foresight resulted in mak ing it one of the most productive and de sirable farms in the county. At first he engaged in raising celery, and soon had this business on a large scale, bis pio duct being known all over this section of the west. Later be sold the farm and engaged in the mercantile business at Monroe, and after leaving there located in Kansas. Mr. Hendryx was an enter- prising man, and was able to see in a measure what the future had in store. When the irrigation company, the prede bessor of the Power company, were strug gling aiong at first he was about the on ly man to put his shoulder to the wheel and help when help was needed. His farm home west of Monroe was one of the land marks and admired by many. He leaves, besides bis wife, one son, I. J Hendryx of Kearney, and Mrs. T. W. Adams of this city. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made, but he will be brought to this city for buriaL During the last several weeks there has been considerable talk about organ izing, or rather re-organizing the local militia company. When Company K was disbanded, there were a good many who were not pleased that Columbus was dropped from the National Guard, and now that there is a prospect for another company, are pushing the matter. A number of 'the old members of Company K have been asked to identify themsel ves with the new organization, and have expressed their willingness. Those looking after the organizing of the new company expect their plans will material ize in the near future, and that a meet ing for the purpose will be held soon. All street letter boxes will be placed on steel poets, to be furnished by the government. This will be done as soon as the posts arrive. As there is plenty of territory for au additional citv car rier, a new route will be laid out soon and an inspector asked for to look it over. The proposed new route will be in the south and southeastern portion of the city, but a number of additional side walks will have to be constructed to meet the requirements of the post office de partment. The residents on the propos ed route should take an interest in the matter and assist in getting it establish ed. Monday a new time card went into effect on the Union Pacific, making two noticeable changes. No. 1, the Overland limited, arrives almost an hour earlier, the change being made for better con nections with the Illinois Central at Council Bluffs.

No. 5 ar rives five minutes earlier, and the Nor folk freight, leaves Norfolk an hour ear lier, and arrives here at 5 o'clock, in stead of 6.

The doctor speaks well of his new home and says that the pro spects are very promising. Last Thursday a Greek laborer em ployed by the Union Pacific, was struck by No. 8 at Duncan, but his injuries are not considered serious. A freight was oc the siding when the passenger went through and the Greek was walking be tween the tracks. He was thrown on the pilot and his head etruok the iron, rendering him unconscious, but beyond a few bruises his injuries were not sev ere. He was brought to this city and placed under the care of the company surgeons. E. F.

Walter Boettchcr, catcher for the No. 2's, met with a little miefortuae while practicing, and the chances are that he will be minus a thambaail, as he was struck on the nd of the thumb with the ball. But he remained in the game until he had the injured member struck again, putting it in bad shape 8ome of the No. 2 players did not show up very good, there work being like that of beginners.

No. 1 had four errors, two of them going to Meiz on second base and two to Ted Eanfrmasj on third. The hits were even ly divided, each team making-six. Cap tain Becher bad four out of the six hits made, having one to his credit each time he was up. Walter Geiger knocked a home run and Christie Gassdid the same on an error oa first by AI Kurt, who let the ball slip by and into right field, where it got lost in a elephant track that was made last year when the circus was here. Ed Graf, right fielder for the No.2V, was talking to a fripnd of bis at the time, and did not watch the ball, and he says that fellow is no longer a friend of his, as he would not tell him where the ball waa until Christie had made the rounds. Otto Boettcher started to do the slab work for the No. 2's, but be went up in a balloon and when he came down John Staub was in the box, and finished the game. No. 2's pitchers bad eight strike outs to their credit," and Becher for the No. l's, had nine. Each of the pitchers walked two, and Becher hit three men with the ball and Boett cher one.
