"A citizen of Madison claims that
up TO last week no less than fifteen
thousand bushels of potatoes of this
years crop had been shipped from
Madison county to market. The
same party expresses the opinion
that the county will yield the pres.
ent season not less than forty or fifty
thousand bushels OF this important
crop.
The JOURNAL, being printed
Tuesday evening, can give no elec-
ton news in this issue. Next week
we hope to give the canvassed vote
of Platte county, in tabular form, In
neat shape to preserve for refer
ence. As we write, the election is
passing off here very quietly, all
candidates and their friends earnest
ly at work.

will carry the mail as well as the
regular express. Our citizens can
thus start for Omaha before day
light, and return mere about the
time the theatre-goers are dismissed
in the evening, giving a good pOr-
ton of the day for actual business at
the states metropolis.
There will be many a disap-
pointed candidate to-day. We are
sorry that we cannot, as matter of
news, interesting to the public, tell
who they are; the successful have
our congratulations, hoping that
they will serve the public with
rarest fidelity; the defeated have
our sympathy, il they have con-
ducted their campaign with no act
of theirs to be ashamed OF.
Politics all around us has been
lively. In Madison and Nance coun-
ties they had any number of differ
ent kinds of tickets; Boone county
was a tumble Polk was mixed, and
so was Butler; Platte was straight,
but some of the contestants were at
fever heat for several days before
the election. 1t is hoped that now
every man will turn his attention to
business, and help to develop the
country.
Tom Wilson has been "locomo-
ting" the past week by the aid of
crutches. This was rendered neces-
sary by his coming in too close
proximity with the heels of kick
ing horse which resulted in fractur-
ing one of the bones of the leg below
the knee.
The above is from the Fremont
Tribune of the Sd, and is, perhaps,
the kind of "suiciding" that has been
rumored of Mr.. Wilson.
w. J. Walker, the gentlemanly
agent of DIR. B. j. Kendall & Co., of
Enosburgh Falls, VT, was in the city
last week, and we entered into con-
tract with him for fourteen hundred
copies of Kendall's treatise On the
horse and his diseases, little book
containing a great deal of valuable
information. Mr.. Walker is one of
that class of agents who lose no time
in transacting business, and evident
ly makes friends wherever he goes.
AN accident happened on Fri.
day last to E. V. Clark of Genoa and
a gentleman from Iowa, at the Bea-
yer bridge, near Genoa. They were
sitting on the rear seat of q light
wagon, the seat tipping over, on
jolt of the wagon, throwing the two
men to the ground. Mr.. Clark had
his breast bone slightly fractured,
and the other gentleman, his back
injured. This is about
the twelfth accident of the sort we
have known of in Nebraska.
The David City Republican de-
sires it not to be forgotten that that
burg is to have a fax mill
year. That is good. As it
is now, when only the seed is avail
able for market, fax is an excellent
and paying crop in Nebraska, even
with the well-known monopoly in
the trade. Burst the monopoly, es-
tablish oil mills, and then paper
mills and rope factories TO utilize
the straw, and the crop will be inn
mensely profitable to Nebraska far
mers.
Our farmers who may be think.
ing of supplying milk to the Colum-
bus Creamery will be interested to
know the prices realized at Fremont,
which are 81 per cwt., from Nov. lst
to May 1st, Extraordinarily %
cents per quart; 80 cents per 100 if
the milk is called for, providing the
milk of $50 cows is obtained. Is
cents a degree is to be the price for
cream, one degree producing one
pound of butter. These, as we find
them in an exchange, are the prices
promised.
