for Commissioner

PosTvTLE, Sept. 3lst, 80.
Nix. EDITOR :--Iu your last issue
| noticed that the Platte county Re-
publican convention is to meet
shortly at Columbus. and it seems
that Shell creek is well-bIessed with
office-seekers on the democratic 8 lie
for the coming election, especially
for the Office of county commissioner
but have not yet learned of any
republican in this community seek
ing that or any other office this is
not because we have not got any
men who are capable of filling offices
but for the simple reason that they
are no office seekers; but at the same
time they are excellent officers.
Among the number of repu ublicans
whom it is thought and confidently
felt will make An excellent commits
sioner, namely Mr.. Joseph Rivet.
Mr.. Rivet is well known farmer,
and one who is very much respected
by all his acquaintances. He is a
gentleman of intelligence and hon
esty, and is a stalwart republican in
the bargain. and one who will not
swerve an inch from the right. We,
as republicans, have no objections
to our democratic neighbors run
ming, but at the same time think
they will get defeated, especially if
Mr.. Rivet gets the nomination on
the Republican side, which, we hope
he will. Rex.

of the sblest speakers in Nebraska,
will addsess his fellow citizens on
party Issues Friday evening. Oct. Sth.
Those who fail to hear him will
miss one of the rarest intellectual
treats of the campaign here. The
characteristics of Mr.. Mason's
speeches are candor, fairness, good
hard sense and vim. The Judge
was here once before during the
campaign, but did not deliver a
speech because of incIement weather
and i'll health. Let him be greeted

Notes by the Way.

Ed. Journal The Douro, Dur
ra or Rice corn of Kansas which has
created such a furore from its ability
To Withstand severe drought, aud.
therefore adapted to the arid sections
OF Kansas aud Nebraska, | find,
upon examination, to be an old aC-
quaintaDce, having grown it in Pen
nsylysnia more than forty years ago,
under the name Of African Millet or
Guinea corn, aud at that time il was
used in some portions of southern
Europe AS a substitute for wheat, n
place which it fills but partially,
though ii may help to keep famine
from the door. Ii belongs 10 the
same family with sorghum and
broom corn, and therefore, in order
TO keep it pure, will require to be
planted where il will not mix with
these. The name Durra il Arabic,
evidently showing its eastern origin
and that IL Vas brought from coun-
try not subject to excess of moisture.
My friend Heinrich wishes some
one 10 utilize the wild sunflower by
heading them and converting the
seed into oil. Now, | know not
what kind flourish on Shell creek,
but | sm very sure that no
wheat header would top such plants
as grow in our section, with any
satisfaction when sufficiently dry !;
besides think he is in error in re-
gard TO the amount of seed or the
quantity of oil to be obtained from
our native variety the article he
quoted from evidently has reference
TO the Russian variety, Que head of
which | know from observation will
yield a half pint of seed, or about
60 bushels per acre, which if there
was sufficient indncement might pay
to raise, as it is generally sure crop.
For the winter food of fowls a por-
ton mixed with other grain is very
beneficial, and ss an oil-producing
plant should think 1t would yield
ut least double that of fax; more
efficient way of utilizing the wild
suDfiower in my opinion would be
TO prevent their going to seed and
ferti,ize the soil by blowing them
under, and this can be done very
effectually with sulky plow, so that
stalks lett in height can be buried
completely out of sight, and leave
the surface as clear of trash as tho
none had ever grown.
The same authority says he has q
second crop of wool, and thinks
three crops may easily be made in
tive years, but what advantage if the
three crops net him no more than
two because such proceeding will
require extra winter care to carry
the flock through the severe weather.
| know that in California this double
system of shearing is followed, but
their winters are milder than ours,
and there il is more particularly for
the purpose of getting rid of the
scab, but presume this not to he the
object in his case. Theories are all
well enough in their way, but facts
are stubborn things" and when these
have natural laws to sustain them
they may be said to be invincible.

Hon. L. Z. Kennard of Lincoln
and Judge Davis of Alma spoke at
the Court House Tuesday evening to
fair audience of our citizens Of
both parties, scquitting themselves
very handsomely. Judge Davi.
showed, 10 the satisfaction of Repub-
lieans at least, the utter absurdity of
the great cry for change" made
by the Democratic party. Mr.. Ken
nard dwelt upon the financial bear
ing Of the election, striking a vein
that has not been sufficiently worked
by republican speakers, and one
which is simply astonishing, when
1t comes to be seen In the light ia
which Mr.. Kennard presents it.
