The General Ijind Offic e has dwiikd
that the County Judge is not reconizM)
frt tlie IT. S. Ktatutes an a proper oII'k ial
to bear ami certify to certain classes of
jnal proof in thin state. The following
ojcular from Acting ( niiiiis.iioin'r
guioe explain tlte dec ision in full as f ol
io :
Your attention is called to the fart
tlat tlie county court of your state as
toostituted by law have no clerks and
lhat tlie duties usually devolving iM.n
the clerks of a court, are by the. statutes
of Nebraska, iiiiol ujion the jinlges
of tlie county court. There is nothing
in the statutes which provides that they
hall administer oaths or certify allida-
tiU, in the character of clerks of their
respective courts ex-ollicio in certiiin de
ceptions or classed of proofs and uflida
rits called for by the statutes of the
Tnitwl States or otlicial regulations
issued thereunder; us for example, pre
emption and commuted homeste-ad proofs
to) pre-emption allMaviU it is required
that the oaths sliall be administered by
the clerks of certain courts, and proofs
of Uiis character should not be made In
fore the judges of courts which by la w
ire not provided with clerks. It is not
considered necessary or expedient to call
in question the regularity of allidavits or
proofs of such character already received
or that may hereafter be received pur
suant to notices for making final proofs
already published. But in all other
ewes hereafter arisinR you will see that
ti required oaths shall be administered
tsfiwrt' 'led by the clerks of the proper
. t..rt. . tf this is don by the judgi.a in
ajdus that the judg.-s so doinjf are
authorized by the terms of the statutes,
toart as their own clerks, or as clerks
of their courts ex-o!llcio. Resjiectfiilly,

A Sketch of the Republican Nominee for
the Hnprenie Bench.
linn. T. L. Norval, judge of the sixth
judicial district, was born in Fulton
cnunty, Illinois, on August Ufi.
He attended tlie public schools, ami
Worked on his father's farm until he
was seventeen years old, when he com
menced a course of study at Heading col
lege, Abingdon. At twenty be commenc
W teaching, spending all leisure nio-
iwnts studying Blackstone and Kent, lie
nsited Nebraska in lKISO. and teini; so
ell pleased with the country determin
ed to make it his future home. In the
fall of lHfi he entered the law depart
ment of the uneversity of Michigan, Ann
Arbor, tvliere graduated with honors in
&r.1871, receiving the degree of Bach
elor of Laws, and was ad m i ted to prac
tie in tlie supreme court of Michigan a
few day afterwards. Ho returned to
bis old home and taught a year to earn
money to get a library, and in the
Sring of 1872 he lo-ated at Seward and
. ngaged in the practice of his profession
with hi younger brother, Richard S.
Norval. February S, 1873, be married
Ella Godfrey, and two little girls have
een born to them.
Judge Norval ha always been a re
publican in politic and has been honored
Wth many offices, viz: city clerk, coun
oilman, mayor, and was state senator in
W9. He wa apinted in the spring of
IW8 by Governor Dawes to succeed
Judge Pout aa judge of the sixth judicial
trictof Nebraska. In the following
'all he wag nominated by acclamation
'or the name office, and wa elected by a
lrge majority over Hon. M. A. Mills,
ving in Seward county nlone over one
thouRand maioritv. He was elected
ffin In 1887 by increased majorities,
getting every vote in Keward county,
Md all but three in Polk county. Mr.
Norval ha proved a success wherever
Wed. as ticlu,r- lawver. senator or
Judge, ami enjoy in a marked degree the
confidence and esteem of tlie people.
In addition to this we liave known
Judge Norval for over fifteen year,
having lived in the ame town with him
greater portion of the time. During
ur acquaintance with him a a citlacn,
M attorney, and as ft judge we have
found him the peer of any mnn in the
te in point of natural ability and legal
knowledge, and hi integrity I of the
Hfheettype. The record he has made
Jui on Uw djutnct bench rank with

Mrs. Woodhridge, of Ohio, gave some
interesting bits of her exeneiice in
Maine, going to show the fallacy of the
assertion oft reieated, that prohibition
does not prohibit, which she admitted, in
a laughing way, by telling of a lady's
china closet which she saw examined by
an ins) lector, disclosing a barrel of li-
ipior i'l.iriil uie parlition. with a ie
leading therefrom down into the base
ment, under ground for a considerable
distance, and then up into the second
story of the next house w here liquor
was sold liehiml the lied.
Again, Neal Dow took her and some
friends to an upier w indow in a house in
one of the Maine cities, and they saw
very ordinary looking man standing in
an enclosure lietween buildings, leaning
against a house. Presently into the in-
osure or kick yard walked another
man who, apparently without, a word
approached the other and bowed himself
to the ground. Thinking he might lie at
his devotions in some strange fashion,
the nartv gazed with interest, hut soon
saw him lift the pocket of the man lean
ing Against the building, draw a cork
from a bottle contained therein, and
without removing the liollle from the
nocket . take a drink. Then replacing the
1 "
irk and dropping a coin into the pocket
he went ln way. "Now," said Mrs. W,
in comment, amid great laughter from
Hie centlemen. "The law was thus bro-
r '
ken iii Maine, but when it becomes so
hard to obtain drinks in Nebraska, you
will lie ready to admit that practically
prohibition does prohibit."
Miss Townsley, the national evangel
ist, begged that in selecting a local evan
gelist for teiiierence work, a consistent
and nious woman should lie chosen; not
raw like the woman whom she cited
who though loudly praying and profe;
ing the clean religion that cleanseth
lw.rts und lives: ncL'lected cleaning her
own home and her children' c lothing,
and was moreover such a scold, and (lis-
turls-r of the peace, that it seemed
amusingly inconsistent at last, when she
died, to sing over her remain as they
,i:,i -Kkter thou wast mild and lovely
gentle as the summer breeze."
Referring to the alisorbt ion of women
in this subject of the protection of their
home from the liquor jsiwer, Mrs.
Walker, superintendent of the press, told
the old but amusing story' of the minis
ter who was so much addicted to the
l.l.it. of riding his hobby of infant bap
tism in season and out of season, t
give rise to a wager that he would intro
duce that subject in connection with any
possible text of scripture, and he was
"Arinni. wliere art
thou?" just a he was entering the pul
:, u. .,u of it in this wise
"This subject can lie divided as follow
First Adam, or the man and his nature,
t. ...! .,r nnd into what condition
iTeiAMln, "
b e-oinir. Third, infant baptism. And
now, os the time is rather short, we will
omit the iirst two divisions and proceed
( insider the third proposition.
After Miss Townsley had vigorously
advocated several reforms in the manner
a.. i.:.r i.,..ri.nff as well a church
Ol Ullti"h r
"offerings" as they
t rml among the women of the W. C
T. U.,Mrs. Woodward arose and said that
from the "ungodly sinner pomi oi v.b
n . I b ministerial, there was
an "" , .
much to lie said, as for instance, she
thought the merchants of the place in
which a temperance meeting or lecture
wa held should protest against the
town being drained of all the small
change-nickles, pennies and dimes-und
remarked that for her par ..
ashamed to offer such compensation to
the local agent for in payment for her
ticket, and usually carried a bill from
her home for that purpose, while she se
creted what she termed the "chicken
fee,!" about her person until she got to
a safe distance from the town.
