Don't buy a wagon until you
see the Fish. Becker sells them as
] cheap as a good wagon can be sold.
IN No such tea ever brought to m
Columbus as that just re-
- ceived at Geo. Rieder's.
Bureaus, lounges, rocking chairs
pictures, safes, and everything in the
furniture line at +. Gerber's on 1lth
ST., one door east of Heintz's drug
store.
Just received at Becker's the
incest lot of buggy tops ever shown
i'm this market, either three or four
bows. Call and see them before
buying.
The Adams & Westlake improv-
ed oil stove is the only one indorsed
by the Insurance and Fire Depart
ments of Chicago. John Virgins
J sells them.
Judge |. n. Taylor, i'm the Pen
and PIOtC, says: Mature, public
sentiment and her own enterprise
have made Columbus a tough
customer for even Mr.. Gould to
buck"
-Kinnan speaks of a plentiful
crop of strawberries and raspberries
and some of the rosy-cheeked peach
es Notwithstanding all hard "freez-
ing" and "dry" spring. Concord
grapes, full crop.
"A carload of the celebrated
Dewey Harvesters just received at
A. w. Lawrence's. Remember this
is the boss harvester, and the one
that sold so readily and gave such
universal satisfaction last year.
Mike Ebel says if the A. & N.
gets in here with cheap coal Rickly
and the Haneys will not be troubled
so much watching their timber on
the river. The new road will help
to conserve the morals of the COM
munity.
81 am opposed, on principle, TO
giving my note, but necessity some
times compels me to do So" said a
man in our hearing the other day,
''and if | were a voter of this county
il would be for a similar reason that
| should vote for the A. & n. bonds"
Father Smith met with almost
a serious accident the other day.
Sitting on a chair with castors,
leaning back, the chair went sud-
denly from under him, throwing
him backwards injuring him some
what, but it is not thought, serious
ly disabling him.
"A prominent stock dealer of
Columbus, who says he occupies
neutral ground concerning the bond
question, aud who has a good op-
| portunity of asccrtaining the minds
of the farmers, says he has not seen
single granger who is dead set
against the a. Il n. bonds.
Look out for one of Meagher's
surprises about Friday evening. 1t
will not be the survey dodge, this
time nor the 100000 to $4,000 con-
struction money TO he spent in the
county, if the bonds are defeated
nor the depot racket" but you can
depend upon il, there will be some
thing that can be fairly traced to
/ the station door.
They do say that Mike Ebel of
Butler county deserves more than
usual credit for his work for the
competing road. 1t is said that
Notwithstanding one of the L. p.
luminaries in Butler county thought
he had Mike and several of his
friends ''sOlid," Mikes precinct cast
9S votes for the A. Il n. and none
against it. Tally one for Mike.
From Rev. Father Smith we
learned Saturday that Henry
Carrig's daughter, aged five years,
died Saturday morning last about
| . o'clock.-Henry and his son,
though still confined TO bed, are
improving.-James, son of Thos.
Lynch, is sick with diphtheria.-
Agnes, daughter of Mrs. Cleary,
who has been sick with sore throat,
is improving rapidly.
According TO the wording of the
proposition submitted to the citi-
zens of Lincoln. the A. & n. II. II. is
to be extended from that city to
point on the line of the u. p. The
bonds have carried all along the line
The people OF Platte county vote
on the question Saturday next.
Will we get the road or will il strike
! somewhere east or west of us?
Voters, look well to your ballots.
The meeting in Stearns precinct
Saturday night must have been a
good one. Barnum, Schultz, Carew
and Sperry spoke for the bonds and
Speice, North, Kinney and Loveland
against. We have not space for CIV
ing arguments on both sides, but
Barnum's cnmmon-sense hit at
Speice & North was well received,
that # he was in their place and was
getting a rich lot of milk from the
L. p. COW, he didn't believe he'd
kick the COW, any more than Speice
& North are doing. Mr.. Schultz
! showed freight receipts that convinc-
ed the meeting as to the eXorbitant
rates of the U. z. Carew showed
that the A. & would be a competing
line, and Sperry handled the tax
question with a vigor. Vote 40 for
the 4. Il n. and / against, and we
have since been told that he was
ashamed of his vote.
The friends of the proposed
competing line of railroad are
earnestly requested to be especially
active and alert in Pleasant Valley,
Burrows, Stearns, Butler, and
Granville precincts. Learn what
the enemy are doing and saying, and
counteraet their influence. Spend
day at the polls for your own and
your county's lasting benefit. 1t
will be a shame if Platte county
