II the festive ground hog came out
Sunday he corld easily have seen hii
shadow, which will make him hibernate
for another six weeks, according to the
legend; at any rate We would not advise
ice mon to buy q machine yet awhile.
&C. A. Lutz & Co., manufacturers OF
wooden shoes, recently purchased the
building north OF the State bank, Of Mr..
Ryan Of Omaha, and moved into the
same last week. This will give them q
moro central location for their large
business.
-J.C. Sprecher Of the Schuyler Quill,
was in the city Thursday on his way to
the meeting Of the State Press Associa-
tiOn at Lincoln. He is as ardent in pol
itics a. usual, and, as is usual also, is
keeping several knives whetted for his
adversaries.
The Union Pacific company have
paid into the county treasury $500 Of
taxes on the main line,-taxes on the
branch roads not yet paid in. 1t is quite
large sum Of money in wages and taxes
that the Union Pacific disburses in
Platte county.
Judge Niemoller of Platte Center
was in the city Friday on business. He
is still as much in favor OF cold water as
ever, and the other night when it rained,
We are told that rain water is such a
novelty these times that he stood out in
it and got the full benefit Of it.
Jack McColl OF Dawson county was
in the city Monday on business. We
suppose that Mr.. McColl is also candi-
date for governor, but he didn't say so
while he was here. One thing is pretty
certain, if Jack had been nominated, he
doubtless would have been elected.

-Parky Doody had a case in the dis
trict court last week, says the Platte
Center Signal, and acted as his own at
torney and won. Had he hired an
attorney the probabilities are that he
would have lost his case and his money.
Parky can give most any lawyer point |
ers on certain cases.
Hon. H. J. Hudson and wife. Of Co |
lumbus, who have been visiting in town |
for several days returned yesterday. Mr..
Hudson made our Office couple of very
pleasant calls and entertained us with a |
recital OF the very interesting story Of |
the journeyings Of the early Mormons to |
Utah.-ISilver Greek Times.
Editor Barber of the Fullerton Jour-
nal, called at these headquarters Wednes-
day on his way t. Lincoln. We presume
to say that SO long as men need their |
fellow men to act in positions of honor |
and trust, Mr.. Barber, il living, will have
interesting to say about it.
He seems born politician.
Secretary Stilson of the State Bee
Keepers association, President Stouffer
of the State Dairymen's association, and
Swezey OF the Experiment
station, and Expert Megehan of the
Poultry association will be here to talk
ut the Farmers Institute some time
about the middle of next month.
From the crowded state of the coun-
Gil room at the last meeting of the fire
it has been suggested that,
inasmuch as the whole department meet
but four times a year, the council make
provision for a more commOdious room
for their future meetings. These times,
however, the public functionaries are
looking out for expenses.
The Ponca Journal began its twen-
ty-fourth volume with the new year and
during that time has not changed hands
nor missed an issue. TIE COLUMBUS
JOURNAL was started twenty-five years
ago by NJ X. Turner, who is still in
charge. II it ever missed an issue, no
one now on earth can remember the date.

applied for letters patent on new beet
drill, one that will plant the seed in hills
or will drill it in rows. The machine

take photograph Of it. Jewell will take
his model to Fremont to exhibit it at the
this week.
