Railroad men. who have been keeping watch on the antics of the Platte river are looking for a big flood when the ice goes out this spring. The ice on the river is over a foot thick and if the cold weather continues a few inches will be added. Since the flood of. 1012 when mW-ts of track wore damaged and nearly every bridge from Columbus to the mouth of the river was washed out, the railroads with tracks running along the stream or bridges crossing it have done extensive protection work. The dyke erected along the bank of the river west and south of Fremont four years ago at a cost of thousands of dollars will be given its test this year, railroad men believe, as the ice is thicker than it has been for years.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears ths -Signature of 'rrTTT'TTTT 4 ,NJUNCTI0N CASES otiii mi 111 Tiir oi ill ui m inn DISTRICT COURT The injunction case over the Wash ington avenue paving is still the center of attraction at the court house and the district court room has been filled with an interested audience who have attended the sessions. The taking of testimony was continued throughout the day yesterday and this morning, but it is thought that the case can be submitted to Judge Beg ley this evening for his consideration. There has been a large number of witnesses examined on both sides of the case to establish the legality of the creation of the district and also as to the value of the property along the paved streets both before and after the paving had been laid. Tomorrow the hearing on the con test over the school bonds will be staged, providing the paving injunc tion case can be disposed of, this will also require some time to hear, as there will be a great many wit nesses to be called to testify. This is the case where a number of the citizens are seeking to have the re cent school bonds for $15,000 declar ed void owing to a fraudulent elec tion. It is claimed that a number voted who were not entitled to do so under the law and for this reason they ask that the election be declared void. The bonds were carried by a majority of five votes at the election on November 7th. TRAINS BEARING FIFTH NEBRASKA THROUGH THIS A. M, The troop trains carrying the equipment ar.d members of the Fifth Nebraska Infantry from the Mexi can border, were delayed in their ar rival at Fort Crook where they are to be quartered for the present. The first train reached Pacific Junction shortly after 1 o'clock last night but was held there until this morn ing and the first section of th" regiment passed through this city at 5:25 this morning and the second sec tion at I:U1, reaching the fart uL daybreak. The delay in the train was a great disappointment to a great many residents of the city who had hoped to be able to witness the return of the boys from the southland, and the Burlington station was beseiged with inquiries as to the time of the arrival of the trains but it was im possible to give any accurate infor mation as the government was direct ing the movements of the trains from the time that they left the border un til reaching Fort Crook. The bar racks at the fort have been arranged for the reception of the troopers; and they will be held there until the war department finally decides on what steps to take in regard to mustering out the boys, but in view of the war like condition of affairs it is not likely that they will be released for sonic time at least. AN OLD FRIEND CALLS. The Journal was more than pleased to receive a call from our old friend, B. F. Iloback, from near Nehawka, on Tuesday of this week. Mr. Hc back'.s visits to the county scat are indeed few and far between, owing to his poor health of late years,, but he is always a mighty welcome visitor around the Journal ollice.' He us ually gets here about once a year when his health will permit, and on this trip we were indeed pleased to learn that he is feeling much better than for some time. He says that he believes he has a second lease on life, and has decided to remain with us for some time. The Journal joins with his many friends in hoping that this excellent old gentleman may continue to improve. He was ac companied on this trip by Wm. Stine from near Union.

As the 22d of February is the In dian day as well as Washington's birthday, the Plattsmouth Cycle com pany will give a free-for-all "Hare and Hounds" race, and will give the man catching the hare a ?87.50 New Departure road racing tire, but if the hare comes in first it gets the tires. The hound that catches the hare will also be the next hare, in the next race. As this will be held every other month, if there is enough interest, all boys that have bicycles or that can borrow them, arc advised to enter and ask Dawson for particulars. There is no advantage in being big or small or in any one physical feature as in this race it is judgment, skill, quick think ing, speed and good eye-sight that counts. STRAYED.

Whatever may be the feeling toward the United States Germans in Berlin, anel as far as has been heard outside the capital, have manifested consideration and courte sy toward Americans since the news was received of the breaking off of diplomatic relations. Aside from an occasional frank comment on the ac- ' tion of the American government, no acts of an unfriendly nature have been reported. The only difficulty which has been reported thus far has been at one district headquarters of police which ; is charged with viscing passports to j go aboard. Officials of the passport 1 department refused to vise passports until holders were able to show steamer tickets to America. On the other hanel, the police in the main residential districts are accepting "re turn to America" as an adequate reason for departure, but are insist ing that customary interval of fort night for military investigation of the application cannot be waived. 10! i MEMBER CN INSANITY BQABDiwir District Judge Janus T.
