bring them. This has a great deal to

Howard resided in Plattsmouth a short
time, and worked in this office. And
while we think of it, Edgar, we want
to remind you of an incident that occur
red during that short space of time.
From a gathering of young people one
dark, stormy night, you accompanied
a young of this city to her home, after
the party had adjourned, and ingoing
to and fro, you had to cross a creek that
passed through that section of the city.
The young lady guided your footsteps
safely to her home, and on returning,
she insisted on your taking a lantern to
see your way clearly This offer you
declined, and what was the result i
You missed your way and fell headlong
into the stream. Do you remember it?

In From Australia.
Mrs. E. G. Martin, formerly Miss deal more said pro and con than should
Pmmj .inhnson. of N'phrankn. f!itv. have been.
visited with her uncle, Sheriff J. D.
McBride and family from Friday until
Monday, when she departed to visit
relatives in other parts of Nebraska
A Journal reporter had the pleasure
of meeting Mrs. Martin at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McBride, and
found her to lie a very intelligent lady
and most fluent conversationalist. She
has resided in that county nearly
eighteen years.
As Miss Emma Johnson, and at the
age of 18 years, she left this country
with a lady in the capacity of com
panion and nurse, going direct to
Melbourne, Australia. When that
lady tired of the country and desired
to return to the United States, Mrs.
Martin accompanied her across to San
Francisco, and then she again went
back to Australia, where she has since
resided, having since united her for
tunes with Mr. E. G. Martin, a native
of that country.
Mrs. Martin is well pleased with her
adopted country, but says that
America is the greatest nation on the
face of the globe. The regular natives
of Australia, she says, are aningnorant
class of people, hard to learn and very
short lived.
Melbourne is a city of 120,000 Inhab
itants, and considerably Americanized.
It bears every appearance of an
American city, and among its citizans
and business men are numerous natives
of the United States. Mrs. Martin to
a great extent gained control of the
language of the country. She will be
in the United States about eighteen
months, and will visit many of the
leading cities and all of her relatives
ere returning to Australia.
Mrs. Martin has made several trips
over the entire Kangaroo country, and
is pretty well posted in regard to it.
She wiil visit Mr. and Mrs. McBride
in about two months again, at which
time she has promised the Journal an
article descriptive of Australia, her
im portan t cities and enterprises, which
no doubt will prove interesting to the
general reader.
A citizon of Biggsville, Iowa, saved

nuick work succeeded in getting the
train stopped before it had reached

New Laws for Counties.
At the meeting of the state associa
tion of county commissioners in Beat
rix last week, considerable time was
taken up in the discussion of proposed
bills for the establishement or public
roads, the assement of property on
cost basis or actual value and a bill
relating to the construct ion of county
bridges, making it optional with
county boards whether they contract
the construction or whether they
build them outright themselves. A
bill was also discussed in relation to
the election of county attorneys,
m vino-th commissioners in counties
under 20,000 population power to ap
point and fix the salaries of county
attorneys. It is presumed that all
of these bills will be recommended and
resented at the coming session of
f - -
the legislature.
Notice to Taxpayers.
Having been ordered by the county
commissioners to collect all delinquent

parties owing taxes for those years
are requested to call and settle same
at once. J. L. Barton,

Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York."
The presentation in tills city of
Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York is
announced for tonight (Thursday) at
the Parmele theatre. The story
treats of a stranger in a strange city
who, falling into the speedy life of the
metropolis, is taken against allsortsof
things, even the French Ball, and his
rusty corners arc supposed to be knock
ed off, and he receives marked atten
tion from everybody he comes in con
tact with. The local coloring is said
to be admirable, and the various char
acters a reflection upon a certain set
known to all who are familiar with the
life of the American metropolis. Asa
scenic production it clearly surpasses
all the other Hoyt efforts. Every par
ticle of scenery is carried by the com
pany. This together with a first-class
company should insure a perfect per
formance of this popular success.
