Commercial Bank of Louisville Gets
the County's Cash.
INCREASED RATES OF INTEREST
The New Contract Shuts Off Litigation, in
Ad ditto u to Indenting the Interest
Earnings on the Various
Funds Other Notes.
The letting of tbe county funds to
the bunk or corporation offering the
highest rate of interest was taken up
by County Treasurer Hickhoff Mon
day afternoon, and resulted in the
funds being awarded to the Commer
cial bank of Louisville, at au annual
rate of 4.55 per cent for all funds, with
the contract to extend throughout a
period of two years. The bids offered
by the several batiks, were as follows:
liank of Commerce, Louisville 4 55
Hank of Cass County, I'lattsuioutli .4 25
First National, Plattsmouth 3.50
Citizens', Plattsmouth 3.00
Exchanee. Elmwood 4.00
State, Elmwood 4 .(H)
First National, G -eenwood 4.50
First National, Weeping Water. . .4.00
During the past two years the First
National of Greenwood has had pos
session ot the county funds, at the
same rate which the bank asked for a
renewal as noted in the above list of
bids. The amount of interest paid to
the county on the funds for the same
period was $5 .702.05. but of that sum
over $2,000 was paid by the Greenwood
bank under protest, and a suit is now
pending in the courts between the
county and the bank in regard to the
matter, the difficulty arising over the
claim tnaite 1-y the bank people
that it was exempt from paying
iuterests on certain funds. Under
the contract with the new depository,
the Commercial of Louisville, it is
specifically understood that 4.55 per
cent, shall be paid on all funds de
posited by the county. The sew con
tract is thus more advantageous to the
county than the one in force for the
f.st two years, as the interest rate is
larger and as there is no existing pos
sibility of the county being forced to
collect the interest in the courts.

The Elmwood Echo grows foolishly
sentimental and publishes the follow
ing: "How sad the awful fate of the
murderer; to think of it almost wins
the sympathy of even the stoutest
heart. And yet it is law that the mur
derer must die and give up his own
life, not that the one he has taken
iaiht be restored, but that public
sentiment might be appeased. On the
13th day of April another life will have
been tatsen, and that, too. by the hand
that cannot give. The scripture says
no murderer can enter the kingdom of
Heaven. Is the hangsman that pulls
the trap from beneath Harry Hill a
murderer? Are the jurors who con
victed him murderers? Who dare say?
God alone gave this life; who dare take
it? Because Harry Hill murdered
Matthias Akeson.and thus jeapordized
his own soul, was that a justifiable
cause for others to blot out a life which
they cannot give? Will they be held
accountable? These ideas are ad
vanced by serious meditation and
simply given as food for thought. v
Dr. Wallace has in hia possession a
silver dollar of very peculiar shape,
and we doubt if there is anotherof the
same hind in the world. The peculiarity
about the coin is the defective milling
and the fact that one with such defect
should escape detection at the hands
of the inspectors in the mint. About
ore-half tbe thickness of the edge of
the coin is milled ull the way round
while the other half bears no marks of
tbe milling machine. Considering the
fact that the silver coins pass the in
spection of numerous employes in the
mint it is singular that this one should
be sent out on its debt-paying mission
bearing the mirk that would brand it
as bad coin in case of detection. Mr.
Wallace thinks he has the only one of
its kind and would not part with it for
ten timeB its face value. Union Led

Thomas Akeson, who was made part

that the case be dismissed as far as he

who finally gets it. Lincoln Journal.
Only one newspaper man is in
heaven. How he got there is not posi
tively known, but it is conjectured
that he passed himself off as a mormon
and stepped in unsuspected. When
the dodge was discovered they searched
the realms of felicity in ali their length
and breadth for a lawyer to draw the
papers for his ejectment, but they
could not find one. so he held the fort.
The postutlice case remains in statue
quo. or words to that effect. Unin

inquire for their mail, but the repub

and their friends are doing some tall

as attorney fees, to be paid in twenty
days, and Irvine is to pay all costs, in
cluding her witnesses, which alone
amounts to over $1,000 for mileage and
attendance. IrviDe will file a motion
for a new trial, which will undoubtedly
be overruled, and an appeal taken.
