Tha C, L3. .Q vs Cass C3untyv
In the case tried yesterday wherein the
C. B. & Q. R. R. was plaintiff and Cass
county was defendant, spoken of hereto
fore in these columns, the testimony
showed that the bridge was operated as
a bridge and not os a part of the main
line, that while the state law of Iowa and
Nebraska makes the maximum charge of
three ecu's per mile for passenger traffic
yet more than 20 cents' per mile was
charged for riding over the bridge, the
testimony further showed that the bridge
property for a part of the time incontro
versy, was listed to the assessor by Mr,
I). E. Thompson, Supt. At Mr. Hoi
drege's request, Mr. Thompson personal
ly signed the assessment roll; it was
further shown that the R. R. Co. failed
to appear before the board of equaliza
tion and make any complaint of a double
assessment at the June meeting of the
board, as other tax payers are compelled
to do. , It was further shown that the
auditor of state had by letter (the letter
being produced) shown that the state
board for one of the years in controversy
and the county had failed to assess the
bridge; whereupon the county clerk list
ed the bridge property as he was by law
compelled to do. A great many other
points on behalf of the county were
proven and not controverted by the rail
road company. The railroad company
claiming that the bridge was a part of
fie main lino and as such, was assessed
by the state board.
The case was given to the jury about
nine o'clock last night with instructions
from the court, that in the opinion of the
bystanders, was about all that the rail
road company could ask for; yet the jury
were out all night and a majority refused
to briug in a verdict under the testimony
in favor of the railroad. The court this
morning then called the jury in and
charged them to bring in a verdict for
the plaintiff which was done, thus taking
the question of fact entirely out of the
hands of the jury, a proceeding very
much to be regretted by the taxpayers of
this county.
B. & M. Shops.
The geniu3 and invention of man,
his ingenuity in the arrangement of
nintlilr..ir 1 . in nnl .ilit wia rt n1 tntf til ft
regulating and controlling it, is a won
der of wonders? Have you been at the
shops when the whistle blew, and
watched the men rush to their posts of
duty, every man to his place, and with
one turn of a crew, tap or thumb-screw,
or the throwing on of a belt, or the joint
ing of , coy wheels, all properly adjusted,
each start off as regularly as clock work,
with its seperate mission to perform.
Hundreds and thousands of belts, coy
wheels, pistions, yes, from the minutest
instrument to the most powerful, all pro
pelle d and regulated by an enormous
engine of two hundred horse-power.
Imagine two hundred horses, four abrest
drawing with all their might, and you
then have some idea of the magnitude of
the engine. But a second thought. Let
us again gaze arourd. and think who put
all this machinery in order. It did not
come by chance, by no means; but on
the other hand it has been moulded and
invented through the instrumentality of
the mind of man; hard study and close
application has brought this about. One
cannot help being almost dumb-founded
to behold the many wonders at the im
mense machine shops. We find there are
eight different departments. Under Mr.
Grcuscl, the foreman of the machinests
department, there are one hundred and
thirty men, of usual tact and abil ty.
Our time was so limited yesterday that
we did not get but few notes. Contin
ued to-morrow.
The Next Ball.
Next Monday night Dec. 19th, the I.
O. O. F. give a ball and literary iuter-
linment at the opera house. The pre
parations have been going on for some
time and are quite extensive. A large
number of invitations have been sent out
and the programs are beautiful. Tickets
for the evening are selling rapidly and
the attendance will no doubt be large,
making the evening a pleasant one for all
present. The literary exercise will open
the evening, after which supper will be
served on the stage. Following the sup
per will be the dancing. The following
is the

Around Town.
We called at the Perkins House, the
principal hotel in the city. Mr. Ander
son is no novice in the hotel business,
but is an old timer and knows how to
treat his guests. First-class accommo
dation in every respect can be had at the
Perkins. The Fred. Goos House is a
popular resort centrally located and
draws a good trade. B. A. McElwain,
the accommodating jewelry man, we
found in best of spirits. He is ready at
all times to do first-class work, and keeps
as fine an assortment of watches, clocks
jewelry and silverware ever brought to
the city. Give him a call and bo con
vinced. In the extensive establishment
of Solomon & Nathan a force of ten are
kept busy handling dry goods, carpets,
millinery and cloaks. Messrs. Solomon
& Nathan began business a few
years ago with a few hundred dollars
and by honest dealing they now carry an
immense stock costing thousands of
dollars. They also run a large store at
Fairmount.
No Gentleman.
"Sir" said a Tucson girl to her eastern
escort at a ball' you are no gentleman."
"Why. I I don't understand you;
really I don't."
"Oh, no, Ipresums not," she haughtily
repliod.
"Indeed, miss, I am really at a los to
know how I have offended you."
"I suppose so," was th3 cold ami
sneering reply, "but a fell.iw don't in
sult me twice."
"I must insist upon an explanation.
What have I dope?"
"Done? I'd ask! Here I've danced
three sets with you and waltzed till I'm
ready to drop, and you ain't bought me
so much as a stick of gum, and all the
other girls' fellows have escorted them
over to that grocery across the street
and bought 'em peppermint drops and
sweet crackers and prunes and cider.
Good night, sir; 1 will return to my
gentlemen friends." Ex
