Landed Interests.
The realestate business in Holt county
for the year 1895. has been butter than
it has ever been known before, and we
do not belieye that another county of the
same size in the state can show so
favoratle a record. Following the
period of general business depression
and the unfavorable reaction in values
in the large cities. Holt county real
estate has continued the most popular
in this section of the greatest state on
earth. Throughout the entire year
there has been a continous, uniform
demand, and also a wonderful advance
in realty values.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a very elaborate table showing the
weekly tranactions in real estate in the
county during iheyear, and to Mr. W.
H. Richards, the abstracter and real
estate agent, of this city, are we indebt
ed for this excellent piece of work. The
high standing of Mr Kichards in the
business world and his thoroughness iu
real estate matters adds character and
reliability to the showing which will be
a source of pritle to Holt county people,
Tha table shows that the value of war
ranty and quit claims that passed are
placed at nearly one million of dollars,
while the aggregate transactions foot
up the astounding figures of $2,10S,823.
The farm mortgages foat up 3141,33!;
and the release S3IG.1S7, an increaseof
the mortgage indebtedness of only 74,
8G9; this increase has been caused by
renewals and to secure balances on
Durchase money, and not by financial
embarrassments, but by parties tncreas
mg their landed possessions. Another
feature of the exhibit that is astonish
ing is in the chattle mortgages filed;
these amounted to ttaJW.yu, wnuo tne
releases were only $12,131. It is esti
mated by Mr. Richards that fully illo,
000 of this amount was created (in ac
couut of cattle feeding interests, while
the remainder was create J to secure
miscellaneous store accounts, etc The
statement is highly isiteresting and it is
worthy & place in your scrap book.
State Veterinarian.
At the forth coming meeting of the
State Board of Agriculturo many im
portant matters of business will have to
be attended to, having for their object
the best good of the agricultural and
live stock interests of the state. One of
these is the selection of a state Veterin
arian, and it behooves us to secure in
that regard the best service obtainable.
Missouri is an important member in a
number of great states, and should be
represented by a man of training, ex
perience, and of excellent judgment. In
other words, the state should place
itself in a position, when called in con
sultation, to command respectful at
tention in a council of scientific men.
Should the present incumbent not
be again chosen, The Sestinel, would
submit the name of John S. Meyer, of
St. Joseph. A man of mature age, good
judgment, years of professional experi
ence, a thorough graduate, enjoying the
highest standing in his own community
as well as the entire northwest portion
of our 6tate, and in the profession as a
highly successful practitioner. We
know nothing derogatory to the present
incumbent, and should the board con
template making u change, we trust it
will consider the name ef Dr. Meyer and
nnnfnr this honor uoon him. The posi
tion is a very important one to our live
stock interests, ana age ana experience
are qualifications that should not be
overlooked by the board.

St. Joseph is mentioned as the prob
able place to hold the next State Re
publican convention. It is devoutly to
be hoped that St. Joseph will secure
this prize. She is admirably equipped
for such a Catherine. With hotels ample
to comfortably entertain all visitors, and
with Tootle's oDera house for convention
t-all. thnre is abundant evidence that
the convention should go there. Thern
in no finer onera house in the state or
the great west than the Tootle. There
will be a lively enthusiastic and large
nrnwd at the next Republican state con
vention, and we firmly belive St, Joseph
can rovallv and will hospitably enter
tain all who may attend.
The Platte purchase is a large Re
publican field, and should be recognized
bv the Republican central committee.
St. Joseph is accessable. She has great
railroad facilities that permeate the en
tire state. Let us in the entire north
west portion ot our Btate extend to her
our moral and political support.
Sh has the Drooer facilities and
people to insure a most suitable place
far our next convention.
The editor of The Sentinel is at pres
ent a member of the state committee.
and he assures the people of St. Joseph
tbat he will most heartily do all in his
power to bring the Republican state
convention to that city.
The Bond Bill.
Last Saturday the Republicans in
the house carried their bond bill by a
vote of 170 to 136. While only one
Democrat (Hutcheson of Texas.) voted
for the bill many Republicans voted for
the bill. One George Crows there walk
ed up under the lash of old Czar Reed's
whip and voted for more bonds. This
bill of course is a humbug, as thero is
no probability of it passing the senate
or being signed by the president.
Platte City Landmark. Oh dear oh
dear Another case or You'ill be damned
it you do, you'll be damned if you don't
We are rather of the opinion that Mr.
Crowther is amply able to take care of
himself without sny Bdyice from the
Landmark. And the St. Josedh News
comes along and snarls because the con
Kreesman from the Fourth district fail
ed to vote at all on the bond bill. As
this class of newspapers were never his
friends in any particular we are rather
ot the opinion that it matters little to
Mr. Crowther or Mr. Crowtber's friends
what they think of his conduct or his
vote upon any question while he oc
cupies a seat in the LIV congress. We
think his career when it is finished will
compare very favorably with his pre
decessor while a member ot the Llll
congress.
The Burden Still Heavier.

Oregon and the New Tear.
Our own beautiful little city faces tbe
New Year with confidence, ns she looks
hack uihmi 181k with pride. Th year
which has just panned emphasized in a
remarkable degree the fact that Oregon
had emerged from the terrific' strain of
the previous year in better shape than
manv cities of its size. Ihe year which
has itist been ushered in is full of as
surances of continuance and an increase
of the com! fortune which has attended
the city during the past year. There in
let.- destitution in our city than ever
Ix'fore; there have been fewer men out
of eimIovmer.t during the enr just
clot-ed; there nre more indications for a
nrosDorioiis year in every respect than
over confronted the people of our city
un they paused at this season of the
011r and inventoried their tangible and
iiitancibte assets.

Everybody is feeling jolly since the

Jacob Ward is about to move to
Monarch. Jake knows where to find
good company.
James Garner looks rather demure;
we believe he has the problem of life be
fore him matrimony.
The air is fragrant with coming or
ange bloom; there will soon be several
young brides to try tbe realitios ot life.
' Mr. Aaron Bullock has taken up his
residence among us, and has been duly
welcomed by the elite ot the neighbor
hood. Miss Stella Barbour is proving her
self to be an efficient instructor, by the
advancement she has made in our
school
Monarch is one of tbe finest places
to go for splecdid entertainments, so
says Mr. Lee Hughes, and Mr. Hughes
ought to know.

and we venture to say their equal can
not be found in licit county, 'ine en
tertainment consisted ot songs, declama
tions, select readings and dialogues, and
was duly appreciated, especially the Lu
E. Li. rallying song, composed by Mrs.
Bovd. Among tbe noticeable ones
speaking, Mr. Bullock rendered a splen
did declamation; .Mrs. Boju. airs, rdiza
Smith, Miss Otie Llewellyn's song com
posed by her mother, was a grand suc

the L. E. L. Boctety to look upon with
pride. They expect to give another one

New Years Dav was made memorable
at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Kathbun,
near Preemption, 111., by the raarrage or
their daughter Elizabeth, to Mr. S. A.
Meyer ot Elmgrove, Mo. Just at high
noon the bridal couple entered the parlor
to tho strains of tbe wedding march,
played by Miss Adaline, a sister of the
bride, anJ in the presence of a number
of the bride's nearest relatives. Bnd the
parents of the groom. Mr. and Mrs.
George Meyer, the twain were made
one by Kev. (5. W. Kling, pastor, M. E.
church, Preemption, after congratula
tions a sumptuous dinner was served,
which was enjoyed by all. They were
the recipients of many useful and valu
able present. Tho bride was attired in
a beautiful traveling costume of navy
blue cloth. The groosi wore the con
ventional black.
The bride is one of Preemption's most
brilliant and intelligent young ladies
of amiable deposition, a most chaste
Christian character and an earnest
church worker. Her place will be dif
ficult to fill in the Sabbath school and
in church work generally. We shall
misa her, but she will be an ornament
to the society and a blesxingtothe com
munity into which she goes.
Her Sunday school class c imposed of
over 40 were at tht depot to bid her
adieu as they left on the aftern on
train for their future home near Forbes,
Mo. Mr. Meyer is a young man of
most excellent qualities and a Christian
gentleman. He won golden opinion
from all who met him while among us.
We bespeak for Mr. and Mrs. Meyer
a happy and prosperous future.
The happy couple arrived at their
home on Thursday last, and on the fol
lowing day. Friday, January 2d. an ele
gant reception whs tendered them by
the groom's parents, and was one of the
most enjoyable antl elegant in its de
tails ever "nttened by us in Southern
Holt. Mr. Meyer and his excellent wife
are to be congratulate! tipn their
felicitions manner of er tertaining. and
also on their bright sonV excellent judg
ment in choosing his Iifo partner. May
the'r life be one contin'mus sunshine,
and may father and mother Meyer be
sared to enjoy the plt-amre and com
fort that these two young people will
bring to the-n. for long, long years to
come.
