SRR e AR e <) GLENWOOD GLIEA Notes From Mills Connty, Iowa, Since my last letter from of the country, there has things to note which may prove inter: esting to the readers of Tur Br The republicans of this county held their convention here last weck, and put a good ticket in the field. On Saturday, the 10th inst., the | convention” was held, and sgolutions were epeal of the laws s’ property within the state, a reduction of penalties on delinquent taxes, the railroad commissioner law, ulating fish, w and the law s ote. A strong ticket was put in nom- ination, which was made up of good men from all parties. D. A, Farrell (democrat), at pre ty sheriff, was nominated for sheriff by acclama- tion, as was J. 8. Frazer (republican) for school superitendent. Lhe con- vention was harmonious, and made short work of the duties dependent upon it, Next to politics, the coming county fair, which begins on Wednesday, the 14th, and continues three days, is up- permost in the minds of our people. The society have been untiring in their cfforts to secure a good crowd and representation of county products. To this end they have put their grounds in fino condition, hung up a large sum for speed trial, also a fine list of special premiums. The have arranged for reduced rates on rail- roads, and did everything to make the fair a success. Governor Gear will address the people on Friday, the 16th, and ought to prove a good card, It is understood that a number of Omaha horses will be here. Come down, Glenwood’s two new brick hotels are being pushed forward as fast as possible, and all classes of laborers are in demand. Many other business blocks have been begun. Quite an important change has taken place in the newspaper business here. C. W. S8herman, who has edited The Journal for nine years, has sold the daily and weekly office to The Journal Printing company, who will continue both papers. The pol- itics will be democratic. T. W. Ivory will be the managing editor, and as he is an uble writer of experienco and is backed by plenty of money, with a good subscription list to start with, and is situated ina town whose busi- ness men are believers in_advertising liberally, the prospect is flattering. While crop prospects are not very flattering it is thought that the corn crop of this county will everage a two- thirds yield Wheat will not average much over five bushels to the acre. The favorable news in rogard to the prosident is the cause of much re- Joicing here and his speedy recovery is hoped for. Rev. Dr. Sharp, who has made many friends as pastor of the Con- gregational church, will soon remove to another field of action. Rev. Hckles, of the M. E. church, will also take his departure in a fow days for another charge. Other interests have diverted the minds of our capitalists from the pro- posed building of a pork packing es- tablishment, but it is expected to be vevived latorin she season: Our city council have made an or- dinance providing for the closing of all places of business on Sunday, and it will go into effect from this date. The fire limit ordinance is being vigorously prosecuted, and causes much kic{ing and complaints of fav- oritism. Pacific Junction, four miles from here, has got a building boom, and the little town is looking up . An employe of the Q. road drove a livery horse to death a fow days ago while driving two lady friends at Pa- cific Junction and gave up $80 of his hard earned wealth in conse- quence, Glenwood has a base ball club which she is proud of, "After gaining easy victories over Tabor, Corming and Red Oak, they went to Des Moines and played the ‘‘Capital City” nine - during the state fair, beating them 18 to 4, They have challenged the At- lantic club, which has been doing con- siderable blowing, but the latter does not seem to care to face the music. A good game could be arranged during our fair if some good club would come here to play. The subscribers to the DALy Bee are pleased with its fulland fresh re- ports of all news items, and its col- umns are sought by many readers who do not subscribe for it. Parties ‘abroad are here with the intention of raising a stock com- pany to put up a first-class creamery, and the project promises to be carried to a succes, Glenwood needsa system of some kind to supply the city with water, and an artesian well is talked of. Our military company are putting in good time driling, and expect to capture some of the prizes at the grand state muster this fall, Moxe Axox, Corn-Orib Architecture, Corn is now worth too much to be stored in a fence corner orin a pen built with rails laid upon the ground. The poorest apology for a building on most farms is the corn crib, though it is designed to hold the crop that re- quires half the labor expended on the farm to produce, 1t is often built of old fence rails, with no covering but straw or coarse hay. There is no way of protecting the contents against rats, mice, and other vermin, The floor often inclines from both sides toward the center, so that rain is held to in. jure the corn above it. Nothing con- nected with farm architecture de- mands more attention than the corn- crib, County agricultural societies would do well to offer premiums for the best plans for corn-cribs. Farm- ers who have had considerable expe- rience in storing corn could benefit other farmers by giving the dimen- sions of cribs that are most economi- cal to build, and which will answer all the purposes for which they are de- signed, The loss of corn from being stored in badly constructed cribs is annually very large. In some cases it mes wet, in others it heats and moulds, and in still others it is de- voured by vermin, ment of telegraph | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 1881. Burdock ALBION NOTES, Boone County Crops. ’()u(lonk For the Fall Trade and Politionl Notes. W Corrospondonce of The Bee Arbroy, Neb., Sept. 12, sends greoting to her s'sber coun- and claims to Boone ties in the st have a better gencral average of arops than any other ion 1 ground in splendid condition for fall aid farmers generally aro plowing busy getting the ground ready for apring orops. It is safe to conclude that there will be nearly double the amount of fall plowing done in Boone county this fall over any other year, The new grist mill on the Cedar will be quite an addition to the manufac- turing interests of this section, and will supply a long felt necessity of the farmers of the western portion of the county. Albion and St. Edwards are showing a healthy activity in business circles, and the merchants of each place are purchasing extensive stocks of goods in anticipation of an unprecedented fall trade. The action of the republican cen- tral committee in calling our county convention at so late a date that it would be totally impossible for the state convention to come after it, has aroused the just indignation of every honest citizen of our county, It is generally regarded as a scheme on the part ef Loran Clark and John Peters, to throw the ap- pointment of a state delegation into the hands of Peters, chairman of the county central committee, and thus to secure, not only a U, P. delegation, but also one which will throw power and prestige,” postoftices and plunder into the hands of these two schemers, who not daring to come before a con- vention OF THE PEOPLE, have thus attempted to disfranchise the voters of Boone county. At a meeting of the farmer's al- liance on Saturday last, at which three- fourths of the precincts of the county were fully represented the following resolution was unanimously passed, and each and overy delegate present protested, in behalf of the voters of his individual precinct, against the ac- tion of the majority of the central committee, ‘‘Resolved, That the delegates of this meeting extend a cordial invita- tion to the republican voters of Boone county to me-t in mass convention at Albion, on Saturday, October 1st, 1881, at 12 o'clock m., sharp, for the purpose of electing five delegates to represent the republicans of Boone county in the republican state conven- tion, appointed to meet on October bth, 1881.” Elder 8. P. Bollman, treasurver of Boone county, then introduced the following resolution, which was unan- imously carried: “‘Resolved, ''hat in case the pres- ent central committee do not concede to a mass convention of the republi- feanvoters of Boone county, the right to elect delegates to the state convention, then said mass convention will not only elect delegates, but will also circulate petitions for the signa- tures of all republican voters of our county asking the admission of our delegates to the state convention.” Never before in the history of our country has there been such general indignation, and the masses of the people are arising, as they did in the case of Geo. W. Brown, to put down the attempt of Loran Clark to steal the state delegation. The repub- licans of Boone—tho banner county of the Sixth judicial district—can stand a good deal, but when it comes to complete disfranchisement, they will not submit to it. A REPUBLICAN. e The Central Proxies. Dlattsmouth Enterprise. The state central committee, at 1ts recent meeting, decided by vote that they were in favor of any proxies being admitted for absent members, whether they were residents of the district ornot, and by that means have u:j)pruveu of a system that has existed heretofore but without pre- cedent, which now is made a matter with a precedent. The committeo could ill afford to take such action, and every member knew it, but then again, if a scheme is to be foisted on the people, if the time and place of calling a convention are of importance to any ring or faction in the state, they go to work at once and secure a dozen proxies from outside districts, and hold the controlling power in the committee meeting, The precedent thus established, makes every proxy a thing of marketable value, that a certain faction in Nebraska would not scruple to buy up, and turn to their own uses. At the late committee at Lincoln, there was nothing at stake, and the resolution was not introduced to curtail the rights of any, or to ex- cito animosity; it was simply an effort to put the committee on record. The resolution read: Resolved, That it is the sense of this committen no proxies bo admitted, held by those non-residents of the districts, for which the proxies were given, The resolution was objected to, and its adoption fought by that element in the party, that the U. P. always contral; infact the U, P, branch of the republican party in No bry-lm It was fought with a deter- mined idea that it should neither be passed, or the objectors to it placed on record, It was tabled by votes that aided to pass the resolution ad- mitting no outside proxies to the state convention, without thinking, per- haps, that they, the committee, were only a creature of the convention that never admitted alien proxies, The whole case in a nutshell was, the op- posers of the resolution were not hon- est enough to pass upon scmethin, they khew was right, but preferres holding open a loopholo for trickery in future, which works only injury to the party. Such appears the record which was 80 adroitly expunged by the monopoly body guard, Grest HExpectations For the|, ate heavy rains have put the | *™° THE SLIM TEACHER. How He Managed the School at Cranberry Guloh. Franciseo Chronicle Mister, no doubt yon have all tha learnin’ that's required in a school teacher, but it wants more than learn in’ to make a man able to teach scheol in Cranberry guleh. You'll soon find that out if try. We've had three who tried it on. One lays there in the graveyard; another lost hig eye; the last one opened school Pend left before noontime for the ben- efit of his health. He I 't been back since, Now you're a slender build, and all your learnin’ will only ke it worse, for all our young folks ighs and ddn't stand no non- Ronse This was what one of the trustees of the district said to my friend “lotoe, when he made & cant position of “Let me try. T know I amslender, but T am tough and T haye a strong will,” said Harry, “Jost as you like, There's the school house, and Tl have notice given if you want it done,” said the trustee. ‘1 do,” said Harry, ““and T'll open next Monday at 9 a. m.” The notice was given, and there was a good deal of excitement in the gulch and along the Yuba flats. More than fifty young people of both sexes made an oxcuse to drop into the tavern to get a sight at the fel- low who thought he could keep school in that district, and many a con- temptuous glance fell on the slender form and youthful face of the would- be teacher. came, and Harry Flotoe went down to the school house with a key in one hand and a valise in the other. “Ready to slope if he finds we're too much for him,” said a cross-eyed, broad-shouldered fellow of sighteen. The school-house was unlocked and the new teacher went to his desk. Some of the young folks went to see what he was going to do, though school was not called. Harry opened his valise and took out a large belt. Then after buckling it around his waist, he put three Colt’s navy revolvers there, each six barrels, and a bowie-knife eighteen inches in the blade. “Thunder! he means business!” muttered the cross-eyed chap. The new teacher now took outa square card about four inches each way, walked to the other end of the school house and tacked it up against the wall. Returning to his desk he draw a revolver from his belt, and quick as thought sent ball after ball into the card, till there were six balls in a spot not much larger thana silver dollar. By this time the school house was half full of large boys and girls, The little ones were afraid to come in. Then the teacher walked half way down the room with a bowie-knife in his hand, and threw it with so true a hand, that it stuck quivering in the center of the card. Hae left it there and quietly put two more of the same kind in his belt and reloaded his yet smoking pistol. *‘Ring the bell; I am about to open school.” He spoke to the cross-eyed boy, the bully of the crowd, and th boy rang the bell without a word. ‘“The scholars will take their seats; 1 open school with a prayer,” he said sternly, five minutes later.' The scholars sat down silently, al- most breathless. After the prayer the teacher cocked a revolver and walked down on the floor. “We will arrange the classes,” he said, ‘“‘all who can read, write and spoll will rise, Of them we will form t{lo the first class.” Only six got up. He escorted them to upper seats, and then he began to oxamine the rest. A whisper was heard behind him. In a second he wheeled, revoleer in hand— “No whispering allowed here!” he thundered, and for an instant his re- volver lay on a level with the cross- eyed hoy's head. “T'll not do so any more,” gasped the bully. “‘See you do not. I never givea second warning,” said the teacher, and the revolver fell, It took two hours to organize the classes, but when done they were well organized. Then came recess, The teacher went out too, for the room was crowd- ed and hot. A hawk was circling over head high in the air. The teach- er drew his revolver, and the next second the hawk came tumbling down among the wondering scholars, From that day on Harry kept school for two years in Cranberry gulch, his salary doubled after the first quarter, and his pupils learned to love as well as respect Lim, and the revolvers were out of sight within a month, They had found a man at last who could keep school. This is a fact. —_— Second Edition of Job. Mrs Ogden, N.
