t If u to .4 0 v t I r if I t. The Sicux County Journal. OFFICIAL OOCXTY PAPER. Subscription Price, ftiaaDtOB, 12.00 Editor. Entered at the Harrison post office as sec ond class matter. Thursday, April 16, 1891, The report of the expert accountant again illustrates that The JontSAL ad vocates measures that are in the inter ests of the taxpayers. Chicago liad a terrible fire on last Sun day afternoon. The loss is estimated at from one and a half to two million of dollars, nearly a thousand people were in one of the building when it caught fire but all escaped uninjured. No Lives were lost by any means growing1 out of the conflagration. Last week A. W. Crites qualified as the second judge of this, the 15th, judi cial district, and assumed the duties of that office. His work for some time will quite likely be done chiefly in the east jaart of the district on account of his Lav ing been interested in cases in the western counties as an attorney aqd that fact vould disqualify him as a judge in such cases. A fire broke out in the Paxton hotel at Omaha at about 10 o'clock Sunday night The firemen had a terrible fight with the flames and four of the men were seriously injured by falling walls. .The loss is estimated at twenty-five thousand dollars, mostly oc furniture and carpets. A number of employees of the hotel lost all their clothing except what they had on. Gov. Boyd signed the eight hour bill and now laborers have to work but one third of tlie time, so that the twenty four hours is divided into three equal parts as follows: eight hours work, eight hours sleep and eight hours play. Jfow if a law could be made so that em ployers would have to work but eight hours, and a similar one for the farmers, a square deal all around would be had. The reports from Chicago relative to le recent city election indicate that it is iigh time that the state of Illinois adopt ed the Australian ballot law. It is also stated that Cregier, who failed of re election, will attempt to prevent the the men elected from taking their seats and thus hold over. The element in Chicago must have hears) of the scheme attempted in Sioux county on January 1, 1890. !The Chadron Journal gives the saloon keepers of that town notice that they must publish their notice of application for license in that paper or else the no tice will not be legal. The law provides that such notices must be published in the paper having the largest circulation. Druggists and saloon men will have to be a little careful in more places than Chadron or they may run against a sna; . From the tone of the papers through put the state it does not appear that the sentiment in favor. of an extra session of the legislature is very strong. The re apportionment is desirable but a not enough so to warrant a special session. Railroad legislation is needed, but it is very doubtful if a bill could be gotten up which would be -acceptable to the present members and still escape the veto of Gov. Boyd. Jf nothing can be accomplished a special session would be a needless expense. At the recent municipal election the issue in many places was the granting or refusing of license. The result was that a smaller Bumber of towns -go dry this year than last. The license question in a great many places overshadows all others and men are put up as candidates olfyia the poiiUon ihey take -on that 'qtestion, no attention being paid to their qualifications or fitness for the offices, nor to what they will favor or oppose in other matters. A good move has been inaugurated in a few places and that is to hirvethe ballots provide an opportu nity to vote for or against the granting of license and have all candidates pledged to act in accordance with the expressed Will of the people. With that arrange ment men can be selected as candidates became of their fitness for the municipal offices and good is certain to result to UM place wnere such a courts is pur- vf? It is reported that the work of sinking wells in the oil districts of Wyoming is to be resumed this spring. It is to be hoped that the work will be pushed with vigor and that before the close of the it will be definitely known there are oil fields of value in totality or noi It is also stated ttM great 4ivsitiawat will be mads in tmVm dMrkfe ia Seath Dakota.

Under the beading of "Asktsd to Re sign,"' the following appeared as a spe cial to the World-Herald from Harrison, bearing date of April 13tb: "At a mass meeting of the citizens of Sioux county lield here today the fol lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted: 'Whereas, By the investigation of the county records "of Sioux county by an ex pert accountant it was found that Con rad ijnuenian, county cieru, jonn .-v. Green and Charles U. Grove, county commissioners, were found to have de frauded the county out of certain sums of monev, and we, as citizens ana tax pavers, not wishing to tolerate any fur ther discreijancv in the county atlairs, request that the said officers resign for the good of the county. The special does not state who pre sided at the meeting; it (Joes not inti mate who called the meeting; it does not intimate where the meeting was held nor is tlie public informed who the indi vidual was who was selected as secre tary, neither does it state who the citi zens of Sioux county are who request the resignation of the officers mentioned. We have talked with a number and have learned of but one who was present at tlie mass meeting or knew of it. We are informed tliat the meeting was hold in the office of Sat terlee & Walker and that the former stated that he was pres ent. That was a good place to hold a meeting to pass resolutions asking Messrs. Lindeman, Green and Grove to resign because of their having defrauded the county, lo illustrate the consis tency thereof we refer the readers of The JorssAL to the figures taken from the report of the expert, in another column of this issue. We venture the assertion, without fear of contradiction, that there was not a man present at the so-called mass meeting who was not short in his accounts with Sioux county, and also that there was not more than one man present who was not a party to the damnable plot concocted in January, 1890, to prevent the newlj- elected officials from tuki tig their seats, in order to prevent an inves tigation of the county records. The county commissioners are called to meet on next Thursday and Tiie Jour nal predicts that when the board ad journs not one of the men referred to in the above article will owe Sioux county a dollar by reason of excess fees Charged. Will the proprietors of the "mass meet ing" put themselves in the same relative position to the county?

It looks as if the second republican paper was established in Chadron for the purpose of downing the Journal of tliat place. Last year Mr. Egan was in poor health and his opponents gained some thing of a victory, but the columns of his paper indicate that Mr. Egan has fully recovered his health and is able to hold his own,. . There will likely be " a mad and merry newspaper war in Chad ron for a while. Down in one of the counties in the eastern part of tlie state a man misled a load of corn an traced tlie thief a dozen miles by the grains scattered along the road and had tins nun arrested. After he was caught and criminal proceedings commenced in court against him, tlie thief settled for the corn and the case was dismissed and the owner of the corn and the county attorney of that county are being severely roasted by the press and iople of that locality for their ac tion. Similar acts .are of too frequent occurrence. It is a great way tliat jwo ple liave of usinjj tlie criminal law to secure debts. A man disposes .of mort gaged property and the mortgagee lias him arrested. The defendant pays the debt and gets possession of the docu ments and then the case is dropped. Such acts simply increase the magnitude of the crime ami make tlie mortgagee and his attorney parties to it and the costs are put upon the taxpayers, and the sooner the courts cease to permit such use to be made of the criminal law the better it will be for people in general.

The report of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad for the past year shows that a dividend of a little less than 5 per cent had been earned, and it is expected that a great: falling oF will oc cur in the first six months of the present year on account of the short crops which prevailed all over the west. When rail roads pay the salaries of their officers, running expenses and interest there is not a great deal left for the stockholders. There is probably no business which has as many high salaried officers as the railroads, and few lines of business that have as heavy debts to carry. , To the average individual it is a mystery why, when hard tipies come tliat a reduction is made in the; wages of employees, be ginning with track m&o- mui going up, but business never wasnown to get fso dull that the salary of a president, di rector or manager was reduced. The reports from all points indicate an improvement in business of all kinds. IThe"crpp prospects in the United States are unusually good and money is again seeking investment which has been lying idle for some months past- The crop prospects in foreign lands are not good and that will be certain to insure to the farmers of the United States good prices for all they raise". The tide appears to have turned and the hard times which have" prevailed for some years past will be followed by a season of prosperity. The lesson learned by the hard times should not be forgotten, and use and not abuse of the improved condition of busi ness should prevail. Every time a fool ish, wildcat adventure is made, disaster is certain to follow and it is such abuse of good times that frequently bring on hard times. , If people keep close to shore their gains may not be so large but they will be a good deal more cer tain and ultimately more satisfactory. It is hoped that one of the first ordi nances passed by the new village trus ts will fw om coupsWag to owners of stock to tak cars of it and not let it ran at large about the streets.
