-Thsdsmocrats had exceedingly warm
times ct thsir primaries Thursday, but
the greatest excitement was reserved for
the arst ward in Columbus. Over one
hundred men were on hand long before
the time set to organize and Ill day long
the main fight vas between the so-called

Columbus will got . lot Of free

strangers to the city. About six hundred
Of the state delegates ars expected to

R W. Finecy, who has been living in
Fl. Collins, Colorado, the past year,
arrived in the city Thursday and will
visit friends in this section several weeks
before returning to his old home in
IllinoisL He brought with him some fine
specimens OF ore, also an arrow head
made ont OF moon stone and considered
quite valuable. Mr.. Finecy's health was
not tho BEST during his stay in Colorado,
hence the change.

ocratic state convention which will be
held this evening in North opera house,
are: W. II. Oldham, Kearney; Mayor
Reed OF Kansas City; Carl Wright, city
attorney Of Omaha; r E. Hsrdman,

rington Of O'Neill. It is generally con-
ceded that Judge J. J. Sullivan Of this

Word has reached us that farmers
living across the rivers have noticed in
dications OF erRot forming in the hay,
principally ON the wild rye, blue grass
and timothy. The first seen was about
ono week ago, and since then the hot
weather has developed it to consider
able extent. The Hummer Br0s., who
lost about $3.50 in stock on account Of
it last year, say that the farmers should
watch tho hay, and keep their stock
from that infected by ergo, early in the
season, in order to prevent great losa.
-Mrs. Homer Robinson entertained Q
jolly crowd Of young people at her home
Thursday afternoon in honor OF her
niece Miss Helen Butler of Chicago, who
leaves in September for her home. Three
peanut games kept the little folks busy;
the first was to search for peanuts, the
one finding the least number receiving
prize. The next game was to carry .
knife, upon the blade Of which was
piled nuts, across the room, and tho
next was to determine who could hold
the largest number in q handful The
prizes we're awarded to Louise Bucher,
Dorothy Post and North Evans res-
pectively.
"A recent letter from Mrs. E. W.
Glidden, former teacher in our schools,
to a friend here, tells Of her work in
Mercur, Utah, in which place she has
bean employed a. primary teacher in the
public schools the past year, and has
been re-employed for the same position
for the next year at an increase Of salary.
She says teachers are paid much better
there and the work is easier than in this
state, and her only regret is that she did
not 60 sooner. Mra 9lidden has been
spending the summer in and around Salt
Lake City with the family of L. L
Searles former Columbus citizens who
now reside in that city.
Some Of the opposing parties are
trying to make believe that there is much
trouble among the republicans Of the
county when the facts arc that it 10
exactly the reverse. There has not been
Q more harmonious meeting Of either
democrats or republicans for years, than
that which was held in Platte Center
The delegates were there to transact
business for the best interests of the
county. ]. G. Reeder was given the
privilege to name the delegates to the
judicial convention, which he did in but
. few minutes time. j. g. Reeder and
W. A. McAllistsr Of Columbus. E. A.
