An eastern capitalist who has quite
an amount of money loaned out in this
county, writes, since the election of
Ilolcomb is known to be a fact, that
he will hereafter loan money in Ne

The Journal is pleased to note
the election of Dr. V. A. Humphrey
of this city to the secretaryship of the
Missouri Valley Medical association,
a new organization perfected atOmaha
the other day by the homoepathic
physicians of this section of the
country.
Buiglars broke open the safe in

other night and carried off the small
steel receptacle in which the funds were
supposed to be kept. All it contained
was a package of love letters belonging
to one of the employes, who will grat
fully pay the postage if the robbers
will return them.
Word comes from Lincoln that Con
ductor Cal Raney, who was injured a
week ago out near itastings, shows
steady improvement and his physician
and family have reason for believing
that he will recover. This is pleasant
news to Cal's many friends, as there is
no more popular a ticket-puncher on
the road than he.
, E. R. Duffie, recently appointed
judge of the Fourth judicial district
(Douglas county) by Gov. Crounse to
succeed Judge Walton, who resigned

oath of office in the office of the secre

West aide Junction, a small station
on the M. P. just out of Omaha, bad a

dwelling houses are in ruins as a re
sult of the blaze. The loss will reach
some $6,000. The dose companies did
not respond until after ahalf bourand
the flames had then gained too much
headway to save either of the three
structures.
Some comment has been made with
regard to the allowance of pay made
by the couuty board at its last session
for four bailiffs for the sheriff during
court term, and this has led to the dis
covery that the law allows a "com
pcLfin uuuiuei oi uauins ' to ue ap
pointed "at each term of court," to
"wait on the grand jury and court
during the term," who shall be paid by
the county, etc., (see sec. 36, ch. 28,
rev. stat.). There is no legal room for
grumbling, unless it be at the discre
tion exercised by the court itself in
the number of bailiffs appointed
j. he journal unas tnat a rumor is
widespread among the people on the
Iowa bottoms and at Pacific Junction
that the B.&M. company has made
all the arrangements and expects at
an early date to put in a double track
between the Junction and the Mis
souri river bridge, ut the same time
that a double track is to be put down
through the big cut between the bridge
and this city oa the Nebraska side.
It is well understood that the latter
project has been settled on as a fact
of the early future, and it is pre
sumed that the dirt which will be
taken out of the cut, made necessary
in widening it for a double track, will
be carried across the river to widen
the grada for a double track there
would be a good piece ofbusiness.

A WARM PROCEEDING
A Hot Contest Over the Custody of
Two Children.
A CANDIDATE IN TROUBLE
Prohibition Candidate for (Joveruor
Is
Had the defendant. I o Big Salt
for Libel Various Other In
terrtlDff Note.
County Judge llamsey was hearing
testimony of a rather interesting legal
proceeding Satur Jsy,when in the right
of custody of two children is involved.
Sometime last summer Al.Burris left
town lor Chicago and lelt ins two
motherless children, one six-vear-old
boy ami t tic other a fmu-vear-old girl,
in the custody of Mrs. Bem-ke, an old
lady who lives over in the Fourth
ward. The mother was a daughter of
Mrs Godfrey Fickler, and the latter
up-tn learnitr that the children were
receiving proper care, made appli
cation that Nhe be accorded the custody
of the little ones. Mrs. Beneke re
sisted the grandmother's application
and secured C S. Polk to look after her
interestsbefore thecourt. Courtv At
torney Travis appeared for Mrs. Fick
ler. It appeared from the testimony
that Mrs. Beneke has been receiving
aid continually from the county, and
it is on this state of affairs that the
grandmother, who is rather well-fixed
in these world's goods, hopes to get a
decision in her favor.
Judge llamsey decided the matter
as to the custody of the two children
Monday morning by giving the
right of custody to Mrs. Fickler, the
mother of the departed Mr?. Burria.
The decision is certainly for the best
interests of the little ones, as Mrs.
Fickler is abundantly abie to provide
for and maintain them in a comfort
able manner. Burris, the father is a
disreputable wretch and is utterly un
fit to have a voice in the rearing of the
little ones. The decison is altogether
for the best.
Candidate Gerrard Sued Fur Libel.
E. A. Gerrard. publisher of the
Looking Glass, a prohibition paper at
Monroe, near Columbus, Platte
county, has been sued by Thomas
Flvnn for $20,000 on a charge of
criminal libel. The article appeared
last week and charged Flynn with be
ing the keeper of an assignation house
of the lowest kind. Flynn has lived
in Columbus twenty-six years, is well-to-do,
and at present is keeping a sa
loon. The suit is the culmination of
a series of letters wiitten by one W
K. Lay, who has taken it upon him
self to reform Columbus through a
series of long letters published in the
Looking Glass. This letter was No. 11.
In previous letters he has roasted and
abused city and county officials, news
papers, hotels, saloons, etc. Gerrard
was candidate for governor on the
Drohibition ticket, and is worth $30-
000 to $40,000.
Internal Revenue Collector North,
says today's World-Herald, is getting
ready to sally out and ask every man
how much money he makes and why
be doesn't make more. On January 1,
1805, the new income tax law will go
into effect and it will be the duty of
the collector or his deputies to "hold
up" all comers that is all comers
whose monies amount to over $4,000 a
year. As yet the collector has engaged
no additional deputies as the amount
of the appropriation is to be passed by
congress to pay for this service has not
been decided upon, and as the figures
will very largely determine the system
and the number of men to be employed
by the various collectors of internal
revenue the delay is unavoidable. All
the new regulations have been received
at the local office, but Mr. North is not
yet ready to tell what they are, as
they are held in confidence until Jan
uary 1 .
The supreme court has again con
tinued the case of the state of Nebras
ka against ex-Treasurer J. E. Hill and
h's bondsmen. A motion was filed
yesterday, backed up by affidavits, as
to the illness of bondsman Fitzgerald
and John II. Ames and T. M.Mar
quetteof counsel, asking for a continu
ance till some time in April, 18!i. The
court granted the motion and con
tinued the cause till the nextterm. Fol
lowing is the order of thecourt as filed.
"Ordered that the motion for a con
tinuance of this cause be sustained
and the cause hereby continued until
the next term and the commissioners
heretofore named be directed to take
do step for the selection of a jury un
til further order of this court."
The supreme court has adjourned un

The pilot on the engine which drew
B & M. No. 5 this morning looked
very much as if it had been calling on
a series of slaughter bouses. When
the train pulled in the entire pilot had
9tich a crimson appearance that loung
ers at the depot had their curiosity
aroused over some imaginary accident
in which some human being had col
lided with the engine. An investiga
tion, however, disclosed that over east
of the Junction a porker had strayed
onto the track and had been ejected
therefrom by the engine. One thing
certain.it must have been an exceed
