largest business in these places as
well as here buys, his goods of first
hands in large quantities and takes
the lowest living profit on all goods

Don't be allured by other dry
goods houses who offer you several
small articles at less than cost, and
then charge you for another article
twice or three times its real value,
but go to l. Gluck, who will sell you
good honest goods at cheaper prices
than anybody else in town.
Two runaways occurred on
Wednesday of last week that we
didn't mention. One team of Chas.
Morse, driven by Fred. Matthews,
who was run over by the wagon and
slightly injured. The other was
Cbas. Segleke's team driven by him.

wrecked.
H. p. Baker and j. j. Bump, of
Genoa, were in the city Saturday.
They state that the new railroad is
being graded at the rate of two
miles a day, and that the cars are
expected TO run there by the 18th Of
next month. Genoa is prosperous,
and has a new band. Platte runs a
meat market.
Three Democratic candidates
had one Republican voter sin tow"
Saturday--all at once. Ii is pre-
sumed they were insisting that he
could vote for them just as well as
not. We didn't have time to inter-
view him after the siege, but we
know that he thinks for himself and
will act accordingly.
The pupils of the school in Dist.
No. l3, gave an entertainment on
Friday evening last. They had a
fair house. and it was a success all
around. There will be more of
these entertainments during the
season, for the purpose OF raising
funds to purchase a new organ for
the school. So George Schram and
Elmer Sheets say.
Republican voters of Platte conn
ty, be OF your guard for electioneer-
ing stories. About this time they
will be peddled all over the county,
for the purpose Of changn ltepub-
lican votes for some democrat that's
being closely pressed in the contest.
You have minds of your own, and
show these Democratic candidates
that you do your own voting. Don't
be dictated 10 by them. Remember
that when you help TO elect a Dem
ocrat you help to defeat a Repub-
lican.
We call attention 10 an article
on the outside OF this weeks jour
NAL, written by Mrs. NJ. b. Finch, of
Patron, Neb., making a second reply
10 Mr.. j. NJ. Taylor, of H., who Is
trying to write down the great
| American Desert, that used to be in
Nebraska. We are inclined to think
that the way Mr.. Taylor is obtaining
information from Mrs. Finch found
ed upon facts too that he will in the
future be better informed i'm regard
to the great American Desert locat-
ed in the State of Nebraska, by the
early compilers Of our school geog-
raphies, and before the country had
been fully explored and examined
by white men who knew how

Tho Democrat says OF James
Pearsall, the republican candidate
for County Clerk, that he "makes a
first-class contractor and builder,
but will not make any County Clerk
during the next two years at least"
The Democrat is true to its aristo-
cratic misunderstanding up its nose
at mechanics. There is absolutely
no reason why a "first-class contrac-
tor and builder" wouldn't make a
irst-class clerk of the court, provi-
ded he was a man Of good sense as
Mr.. Pearsall is; and an obliging,
accommodating, civil-spoken man,
as Mr.. Pearsall is. We notice again
that the Democrat does not object
TO Mr.. Pearsall on account of lack of
qualifications to perform the duties
of the Office to which he is called.
-'The JOURNAL knows il lies"
says the Democrat, "when it a v
the men working on the Z. P. feed
er, have had their orders to vote the
Democratic ticket" We had our
information from good authority,
and the public very well know, as
the Democrat very well knows, that
the L. p. forces in this campaign are
not disinterested spectators. The
Democrat needn't put on any airs in
the matter. The Journal fears no
comparison with ii on the score of
~veracity, or any OF the cardinal vir-
tues. but will V descend to that
plane where the word 'liar"is band
led back and forth. The junior
Democratic organ should be a trihe
less excitable. Giving way 10
anger or passion, especially with
out due provocation, Is neither wise
nor wholesome.
= Republican central committee
men should be active in informing
themselves of the movements of the
enemy, and report them at head
Qarters. One of the main features
of the campaign on the part of the
Democrats Is to pillow with some
three or four disaffected Repubii-
cans, and to circulate stories on
Republican candidates. If commit
teemen or any good Republican will
report all facts of the kind to John
Hammond, Chairman, a way will
be found to counterfeit their infu-
ence. When a Republican, right on
the eve of a political battle, turns
his back upon his party friends, and
goes over to the enemy. by a little
examination you will find some
thing wrong somewhere. The De-
mocracy have a few generals who
know well how TO make use of such
