The Democrats of /. A. Creek township

their cruise in the South. Elisha Davis has
put a neat and substantial cabin on it in &
workmanlike manner which will contain

to start on their trip.
The chief pleasure OF the politicians here
at this time is to gather at the village store
and discuss the tariff. When this question
is brought up all have an opinion to ex-
press, and the flights of oratory INDUCED
in are thrilling in the extreme. After hav-
ing had an exciting contest the question
is dropped only to be resumed in a short
time, AID they are none tine wiser on the
tariff issue after having discussed it for
weeks.
Prohibitionists should not swerye from
their party because of the tariff issue which
the old parties have raised or be deceiyed by
the Temperance and morality plank OF
the Republicans, but stand firm to the Ma
tional Prohibition party, and vote for Fisk
and Brooks. If we cast a million or more
votes for them, ''the die will be cast i'll
favor of God and Home and Native Land,
and a reproof will be given to the spoils
seekers and the saloon element, who hope
to compromise ON some basis OF tax or Ii
cense. This being accomplished in 1888,
there will be but two parties in the field
in 1892, no matter what their names may
be one for national prohibition, the other
against it, and the party for national pro-
hibition will triumphantly march to the
White House ; and then, without a saloon
in all our fair land, we shall indeed be a
united, happy people, whose God is the
Lord" Wan. j. SMITH.

Edison,s First Phonosranh.

A gentleman recently repeated to
me an account given him by Mr.
Thomas Edison of the making of the
first phonograph. 1t has not, so far
as know, been in print. aud is inter-
esting as showing the inventors
methods of working. Busiiy engaged
on innumerable things Mr.. Edison
carried in his mind for a long time
the idea of the monograph, turning it
over and over from time to time
iotting down sketches and men,
oranda concerning its construc-
ton. AT lengt he said to an old Ger
man machinist who made models for
him that he wanted machine con-
structed in Il certain manner, but of
the use of it he gave no hint. Now
and then as the work went on, with
out seeing the model, Mr. Edison or
dered certain changes, which, of
course, were duly made. Finally the
German was told to bring the machine
for examination; Mr.. Edison fitted
into it the sheet of tinfoil, and turning
tie crank spoke into c funnel the
somewhat familiar verse about Mary
and her little lamb. The German re-
garded him rs if lie thought he had
gone mad; but when Mr.. Ellison re-
versed the motion and the photograph
pipingly repeated his stanza, the old
man threw up his hands and exclaimed
in the utmost establishment, ''Mein
Gott, it talks!" Boston Letter

IN the April CcutmyTheodore Roose-
welt has description Of roundup
in the cattle country. Following is an
extract:
'Whilc the head men are gathered
in little knot, planning out the work,
the others are dispersed over the pam
in every direction, racing, breaking
rough horses. OF simply iarhing with
one another. Ii u man has an esneci-
ally bad horse, he usually take sach
an opportunity, when lie has plenty OF
time, to ride him, and while sadding
he is surrounded by a crowd Of most
unsympathetic associates who greet
with uproarious mirth any misadven-
ture. A man on bucking horse is al
WAYS considered fair game, every
squeal and jump Of the broncho being
hailed with cheers Of delighted irony
for the rider and derisive shouts to
stay with him.' The antics Of vi
cious broncho show infinite variety of
detail but are all modelled on one gen
eral plan. When the rope settles round
his neck the fight begins, and it is only
after much plunging and snorting that
a twist is taken over his nose, or else 4.
hackamore-a species of severe halter,
usually made of plated hair-slipped
on his head. While being bridlcd he
strikes viciously with his fore feet, and
perhaps has to be blindfolded or thrown
down; and to get the saddle on him IS
quite as difficult When saddled he
may get rid of his eXuberant spirits by
bucking under the saddle, or may re-
serve all his energies for the rider. In
the last case. Che man, keeping tight
hold with his left hand Of the check
strap, SO as to prevent the horse from
getting his head down until he is fairly
seated, swings himself quickly into the
saddle. Us rises the hroncho's back
into an arct Ills heal, the ears laid
straight back, gor down sa.n'l lis
fore feet, and slEHealing a.yaDciI, he
makes u succession Of RAJ" stl-ieg-
ged, iarrin. ro is. Souc,s.la he Is a

buck steadily in one place, or 'suniish'
that is bring first oae shoulder down
almost to the ground and then the oth-
er-or else he may change ends while
in the air. Hrst-class rider will sit
throughout L MI without moving from
the saddle, q 'ing iie horse ali the
time, though his hat may be Jared off
his head and his revolver out of its
sheath. After few jumps, however,
the average man grasps hold of the
horn of the taddle-the delighted on
lockers meanwhile advising him not to
go to leather and is contented to get
through the affair in any shape proyid-
ed he can escape without being thrown
off. An accident is of necessity born
with broad grin,as any attempt to re-
sent the raillery of the bystanders
which is perfectly good-humored-
would be apt to result disastrously."

EDITOR HERALD. After leaving
Knox county Nebraska | thought
@ould pen you few lines in regard to
ken Co and Nebraska. What in
regard to population claim in round
numbers, State 100, 900. county 10000.
1t has large amount of Government
land, some of which is very sandy and
hilly.
Some of the people have got the
California fever, where there is no
winter, but plenty of dust.
Fhe people of Knox county are
hospitable, intelligent, and vigorous.
The land in this county is held from
eight to thirty dollars per acre.
Leaving Neb. we arrive in the"Big
City," Yankton Dakota.
On decoration evening we listened to
speeches of Gen. Beadle, aud others.
| believe there is county named after
the General We renew old acquaint-
encps, and receive an invitation to call
again We leave Yankton arrive at
Mitchell We see plenty of water
standing over the prairie of Dakota,
which had delayed farmers from at
tending to their land, some of which is
very sandy and grayelly, stone piles
being seen very frequently. They have
a good many blacksmiths in such places
to sharpen their plows.
Some people in Dakota having mort
aged their proovde upland for all it's
worth left the country to return no
more, some here receive assistance
from pension, or money sent TO them
from Eastern people.
| would not advise every per son to
visit here. / believe the railroads in
this Territory charge four cents mile.
People have laws here that allow
man fifteen hundred dollars exempt
ion.
Machine men take mortgages for
machinery, all notes are not at par.
Many people lost considerable stock
in the blizzard of January u
This county looks somewhat wild
yet. Some are complaining of the hot
weather now here. Rains have delayed
crops about two weeks. but the people
are looking for a good harvest for 1883.

POtOsi.

Quite number of the inhabitants of
this village took in the reunion at
Platteyille last week, and some of our
boys got left when it was time to
retire and seek repose upon their virtu-
Gus touches, but alas! alas! they found
to their grief that the bed, cots and
couches were all filed and their only
hope for rest was to pile into some bug
gies that stood near by, which they did
and who dare say they did not have
good sound sleep.
The Messrs. Vanderbee, Wright and
Jones from Platteville came down on
Sunday last and put up at the Seaton
House, where they were well taken
care of as all of the Seaton House
guests are. Three of the party came
to take in the sights and scenes of the
city. but Harry's object in coming is
mystery to most of tho people here, but
those who are his most intimate friends
know that he has an eye to business
here in the sweet bye and bye.
Weddings and rumors OF weddings
are all the go here now. Last week
Miss Vina Cellar was united in matri-
mony to Mr. burst, of Strawberry Point,
Iowa. And it is an every day talk that
there arctic be three more of our fairest
and best daughters (and school marms)
enter the same state during the next
month. We hope they will all do as
well, and be as happy as Miss Vina is.
Mrs. Cellar and daughter Theresa
have gone to Sheldon Iowa, to visit her
daughter Chris is now running bach
elors hall, and he is glad to see any of
his old friends, but he says ''no tramps
need apply" So we will give HIM
wide berth as we have very often of late
been taken for a tramp.
On the 18th inst. Fred Taft, the gen.
ial clerk of the Seaton House, was very
happily surprised to see about twenty
of his most intimate friends comcin,
and their object was to celebrate his
twentieth birthday, which they did in
good style. The table was spread
and the table favors were bouquets of
roses, and the refreshments were ice
cream and cake The evening was
passed in a very pleasant manner and
they all wished that Fred or someone
else would have birthday every week
Miss Eva Fairall closed very sue
cessful term OF school last Friday in
the town + Waterloo, in the Frank
Elwel district. This is the fourth or
fifth term Miss Eva has taught there.
and has given general satisfaction TO
all Interested.

A Letter From Dakota.

EDITOR HERALD: SRA few words
from this land of billiards and other
destructive storms may be of interest to
some of your readers. Your correspon-
dent found himself in Kingsberry Co,
this Territory, on Friday morning,
March 3d. The snow was still to be
seen, especially where the great biz
Yard OF January 10th. had piled it up in
the timber claimes apd gulches. Yet
the snow was not as deep in this Ter
ritory as in Minnesota. Along the line
of the c. 4 n. w. r. h. it was half
way up the teiegraphy poles The
branch lines were not open at all then.
and once we got stuck in snow drift
Well, spring was very backward
here. Grain was put in from three to
