Dunbar's Bright Prospects.

DUNBAR, Neb., August Especial to THE
BEE. dunbar Is in the center Of one of the
richest agricultural and stock sections IN
Otoe county, and section abounding in fruit
and owned by wealthy and intelligent farm
ers. A junction of the b. & M. ana Missouri
Pacific railroads, it is surrounded by a circu-
lar belt of heavy timber, and is sheltered on
the west from the storms of winter by a high
divide, whose slope is covered with private
residences and whose crest is crowned with
a number of neat cottages standing out from
background of thrifty young oak groves.
1t has perfect natural drainage, the very
best of water, and Its sanitary advantages
are nowhere exceled. There are two well
attended churches under the charge of able
and popular pastors; a large two-story school
tearhers; two elevators under sep.
arate management; yard controlled
two coal dealers, an excellent physician a
good drug store, a butcher shop, three large
general merchandise stores and a fourth "a
brick S5224 in course of erection, one re-
specially conducted saloon, one blacksmith
and wagon shop, two hotels and livery
stables, harness shop, an implement house
and two carpenter shops.
The citizens are now agltating the estab-
lishment of q bank, and as over $500, 900 are
annually expended for grain and hogs alone,
it's need is we'll appreciated. AT a largely
attended public meeting, held last week,
Messrs. John Thomas, George Ferguson and
r. w. w. Jones were appointed u committee
to further this object, apd correspondence is
invited from any one Nesiring safe and
profitable investment.
AS this section is rich in timothy and
clover and noted for its production of butter,
a creamery company would find here de-
sirable location. A good. shoemaker, too,
would have steady employment.

PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., August 4.-Special
TO THE BEE. The wire pulling has begun
for the county election, which will occur in
November Candidates will be numerous
for every office, and from the present work.
ings of the republicans they mean TO win
everything. The democrats have not full y
recovered from the shock which they re-
ceived at Clevelands defeat last fall, but
will probably awaken from their slumbers
when 1t is too late.
From the bitter feeling which exists be-
tween the east ana west ends of the county
on account Of the county seat strife it is pre-
sumed that Weeping Water will make a des-
perate effort to nominate and elect the entire
ticket from the west end.
Plattsmouth heads the list with asprants
for county treasurer. Thomas Pollock, re-
publican, thinks he could properly handle
the county money il he had chance at the
pot, while S. A. Davis, republican, grain
dealer, Graves the same opportunity. Charles
G. Parmele and James Patterson, ir., demo-
Gratis, will also work for the nomination.
Rumor says Hon. Il. Il. White has recently
sold his interests in the grain business in
Plattsmouth and will be a candidate for the
same Office. Weeping Water will work hard
for Stephen Orton, republican, and he will
very probably be the republican nominee for
treasurer.
Dave Miller, the present deputy sheriff,
and II. w. Hyers, ex-sheriff of Cass county
and ex-warden of the state penitentiary, Will
be opposed at the convention for the nomina-
tion of sheriff by Dave Woodland, of Weeping
Water. Sheriff j. q. Eikenbary, the present
incumbent, now nearing the close Of his third
term of Office, says he is out of the fight.
Attorney O. A. Woosley, of Greenwood,
and Attorney ID. X. Barr, of this city, both
want to be elected county judge
The greatest contest will be for the office
of county commissioner who is to be elected
the west end of the county No person has
yet been named by either party for this
place.
The democrats are very reticent in reply
ing to any question pertaining to theil
"would-be candidates" and success this fall
but say there Is plenty of time vet.

Mr.. Russell Harrison is becoming as
much OF a nuisance as Colonel Elliott +.
shepard The young man has taken the
Jokes about his being the heir.apparent,
seriously, and has apparently come to
believe that he occupies the same place
here that the Prince Of Wales does in
England He accordingly delivers him
self Of his opinions on matters of public
interest with great deliberation and
solemnity.
The last ebullition Of young Russell is
TO practically suggest that the White
House should be rebuilt, because IL does
not agree with the health of the Harri-
son family and because the red ants
there bother his father. The only mem
bers OF the family who have been III are
the children and the young ladies'
Neither the President nor his wife has
suffered, and any Of the rest Of the
family who find that the air of the
White House does not agree with them
might easily avoid such trouble by re-
maining at their homes In Indiana

easier for them 10 do that than to
have q new Executive mansion built for
their benefit. AS for Mr. Russell Harri-
son, IL he could only be persuaded to go
back 20 Montana a grateful people-ex-
cept the residents OF Montana-would do
almost anything. This feeling has ex-
listed for some time, but it has increased
tenfold since some Of the disgraceful
features Of the attacks ON Ex-Governor
