There is a merry row on between Gov. ^hallenberger and Peerless Bry an over who shall boss Nebraska de mocracy. One by one the supreme court knocks out the laws passed by the late demented democratic legislature. The latest was the new normal law. What would become of Nebiaska if its owner, the wonderful Edgar Howard of the Columbus Telegram, should let go? Horrible to contem plate.

Dayton, for many years editor of the York Republican, died Monday from a stroke of apo plexy. He was born in 1856 in Penn sylvania. John G. Carlisle, the great Ken tucky statesman and former secretary of the treasury under Cleveland, is reported dying at his home in New York City. Arcadia is in a peck of trouble over the liitching-rack problem, the village board deciding to remove them from the main streets and the farmers vowing to organize and trade else where, if they are not restored. It is claimed that “Ret” Clarkson, formerly of the Iowa State. Register, who has been holding down an $8,000 position in New York City, will be relieved of that position Jan. 1, and that he will go back to Des Moines and start a newspaper. If so, he will make things go some in the editorial field. Is it not strange that some of those who have apparently enjoyed.having their neighbors slandered and vilified and reviled for the past four years should be so anxious to quit im mediately when the alleged slanderer is in the meshes of the law? It is like betting on a horse that quits at the quarter pole in a four-mile race. In reply to a reader who requests us to re-publish some of the alleged slanderous articles that have appear ed in a certain publication the past four years, that he might be able to judge of their contents for hir.iself, we courteously beg to be excused, if for no other reason than that the law holds the party re-publishing alleged libelous statements equally culpable with the originator cf the same. According to figures compiled by the Chicago Record-Herald, there has been thirty deaths and 216 injured on the gridiron during the present foot ball season.

Stockmen shipping to the South Omaha market are manifesting pleas ure over the fact that the new street car line is being built and will soon be in operation, which will take them from the city direct to the Exchange building, where the offices of the commission men are located: to the South Omaha horse market and the cattle sales division. In the past, shippers have had to walk across the viaduct and several blocks to reach these places, where almost everyone selling on the South Omaha market has to go. The arrangement for the service and extension was made by the Union Stock Yardscompany with the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company, and at some ex pense to the stock yards people, who arranged it in the interest of shi ppers. —Omaha Bee. AT TOMB OF GREAT WARRIOR. Description of Last Resting Place of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in the thirteenth century proved himself one of the world’s greatest warriors. His tomb exists at Edchen Koro, and is described in Count de Lesdain’s “From Pekin to Sikkim:” “Two small tents, one behind the other, and con nected by a very low inner door, made of worn-out felt, and admitting through their rents the rain and the wind, are the ‘monuments’ destined to perpetuate the renown of the greatest conqueror the world has known. . . . The ashes of the body of Genghle Khan are deposited in a kind of chest, cubic In shape, and placed on a wooden support made of small colored pillars, adorned with paintings on al) its sides, except that facing south, which is covered with a finely worked copper plate represent ing a divinity surrounded by four ani mals which are difficult to identify. . . . The tomb, in fact, has not always been here, but it is difficult to know exactly where the first descendants of the great emperor laid his remains." A Second libel Suit Against Geo. H. Gibson The Standard Gauge Editor Again Arrested for Alleged Libelous Statements Uttered Through His Publication. We Give Below a Copy of Complaint Filed, With out Comment at This Time. Before Emerson A. Smith, Justice of the Peace in and for Loup City township, in Sherman county, Ne braska: State of Nebraska vs. George H. Gib son. State of Nebraska, ) County of Sherman, -ss. Loup City Township. f Before me, one of the J ustices of the Peace in and for said county, per sonally came Charles F. Beushausen, John Minshull and Richard J. Night ingale, who, being duly sworn, sev erally depose and say that before the printing and publishing of the false, defamatory and malicious libel here inafter mentioned, one George H. Gibson was in November 1901, elected County Clerk and Ex-Officio Clerk of the District Court of Sherman coun ty, Nebraska, and thereafter duly qualified as such officer, and on Jan uary 9th, 1902. entered upon the duties of said office and continued to perform the duties of said office until January 7th, 1904; that on January 25th, 1908, the county of Sherman in the state of Nebraska, acting by and through its board of supervisors and its county attorney, commenced an action in the district court of Sher man county, Nebraska, against the said George H. Gibson and against the sureties on his official bond to recover certain fees which it was alleged that said Gibson had earned, collected and received in excess of the sum which he was allowed bylaw to retain for his own use, and whicli fees lie had failed to enter on his fee book and to pay into the county treasury; that thereafter such pro ceedings were had according to law wiaii oil oepoemuer xduii, x»vt>, miu county recovered a judgment against the said George H. Gibson and his sureties for the sum of 8322.0(1 and costs taxed at 824.80; that thereafter in November 1903, the said George H. Gibson was elected to succeed himself as such officer, and on January, 7th 1904, duly qualified as such officer and entered upon the duties of said office and continued to perform the duties of said office until January 4,. 1906; that on March 9. 1908, the county of Sherman in the state of Nebraska, acting by and through its board of supervisors and by its county attor ney commenced an action in the dis trict court of said Sherman county against said George H. Gibson, and against the sureties upon his official bond for said second term of office to recover certain fees which it was alleged that said George H. Gibson had earned, received and collected in excess of the amount which he was allowed by law to retain for his own use and which fees he had failed to enter upon his fee book and to pay into the county treasury; that there after such proceedings were had ac cording to law that on September 15, 1909, the said county recovered a judgment against the said George H. Gibson and his sureties for the sum of $175.00 and costs taxed at $24.15; that both of said causes were tried to W. R. Stitt, a referee appointed by the court, by and with the consent of said George H. Gibson, and said referee duly made his reports to the court and which reports were duly confirmed by the court without ob jection on the part of the said George H. Gibson: that for more than three years last past the said George H. Gibson has been the editor, publisher and proprietor of the Standard Guage, ! a weekly newspaper printed and pub lished at Loup City, in said county of i Sherman, and in numerous issues of said newspaper has claimed that the following named persons, to-wit: Charles F. Beushausen, John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and other persons are members of a corrupt and unlawful association organized for the purpose of defraud ing both individuals and the said county of SheVman, and has been in the habit of designating said above named persons in their collective capacity as the “Plunderbund ’; that on September 16, 1909 the said George H. Gibson, in the said county of Sherman, unlawfully and maliciously contriving and intending to injure, scandalize and vilify the good name and reputation of the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Minshull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, Wil liam R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others and to bring them into hatred, con tempt and disgrace, did unlawfully, willfully and maliciously compose, write and publish, and did cause to te composed, written and published a certain false, malicious and defama tory libel of and concerning the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others, in their associated capacity, and designating them under and by the name of the Plunderbund, in the Standard Guage, a weekly news paper printed and published in Loup City in said county of Sherman, and having a general circulation in said county, and which said scandalous, | false and malicious libel is as follows, that is to say: “the plunderbund ahead" When the plunderbund (meaning the said Charles F. Beushausen. John Minshull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in an associated capacity) began ac tion against us (meaning the said George H. Gibson, and meaning that the said actions commenced by the county of Sherman were commenced bythe unlawful and fraudulent insti gation and paocurement of said Charles F. Beushausen, John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein 'and others in their associated capacity) for a shortage in the clerk's office, so sure were we that our ac counts, were correct, that we told the court that if he would appoint an accountant to examine the books, and he found a dollar short we would at once pay.it. But we reckoned wrong. The expert (meaning the said referee, W. R.'Stitt,) found that we owed the county $399.88 on the four years term. We will step up and pay it. But we want to say this, we know we do not owe it. We will give one illustration that is in keeping with all. Before we turned the keys (meaningthe keys of the said county clerk’s office) over to our successor (meaning the said Charles F. Beushausen), we made a thorough investigation of the books (meaning the books kept by said George if. Gibson as such county clerk and clerk of district court) and we will give one item. We counted the chattel mortgages (meaning the chattel mortgages on tile in the said county clerk’s office) and compared them with the fee book (meaning said George H. Gibson’s fee book as such clerk) and found that they tallied. When the accountant (meaning said referee, W. R. Stitt,) compared them he found 132 short as to entrv on the fee book(meaning said George* H. Gib son’s fee book as clerk). This, of v-uuiac, «aa tnucr cue piuuueruuuu (meaning said Charles F. Beushausen, John Minshull, Richard J. Nightin gale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in their associated capacity) manipulated (meaning that they will fully, unlawfully and maliciously altered, defaced, mutilated and erased) the books (meaning the books of record in the said cletk’s office and meaning that said books were by said persons willfully and maliciously altered, de faced, mutilated and erased) for near ly four years. The above we will make oath to. And John Minshull was in Seattle when court set. Why? (meaning that he had departed beyond the jurisdiction of the court to escape the consequences of his criminal acts.) We are here to light the pi underbund (meaning said £harles F. Beushausen, John Minshull, Richard J. Nightin gale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in their associated capacity) and they will hear from us later, but now we will keep our word with the court and pay the bill, (meaning the said judgments obtained by said coun ty of Sherman Against said George H. Gibson.) These (meaning said Charles F Beushausen, John Minshull Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in theis as sociated capacity) are the fellows that raised your tax double last year. These (meaning the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Minshull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in their as sociated capacity) are the same chaps that robbed Sherman county of the Sekutera judgment. Over the protest ui uur auiorney, we com one couro what we have related, little thinking that men could be so degenerate. There can be no shadow of doubt but that the accounts (meaning the offi cial accounts of said George H. Gib son) Have been manipulated (meaning that they have been willfully, unlaw fully and maliciously altered, defaced mutilated and erased) to the desire of the plunderbund (meaning the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others acting together in their associated capacity.) This is simply robbery and perjury, that we at present are powerless to prohibit.” All to the great damage of the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler^William R. Mellor, Louis Rein and others, and contrary to the form of the statute in such case made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the state of Nebraska. And for a second count of their said complaint, the said Charles F. Beus hausen, John Minshull and Richard J. Nightingale do further depose and say that, before the printiug and pub lishing of the false, defamatory and malicious libel hereinafter mentioned, one George H. Gibson was in Novem ber, 1903, elected county clerk and ex-officio clerk of the district court of Sherman county, Nebraska, and on January 7,1904, duly qualified as such officer and entered upon the duties of said office and continued to perform the duties of said office until January i, 1906; that on March 9, 1908, the county of Sherman in the state of Nebraska, acting by and through its board of Supervisors and by its coun ty attorney, commenced an action in the district court of Sherman county, Nebraska, against the said George H. Griteon and against the sureties on his cfficial bond to recover certain fees which it was alleged that said George EL Gibson had earnd, received and collected in excess of the amount which he was allowed by law to re tain for his own use, and which fees he had failed to enter upon his fee book and to pay into the county treasury; that thereafter such pro ceedings were had according to law: that on September 15,1909, said coun ty recovered a judgment against the said George H. Gibson and his sure ties for the sum of $175.00 and costs taxed at $24.15; that on October 7, 1909, the said George II. Gibson in said county of Sherman, unlawfully and maliciously contriving and in tending to injure, scandalize and vil ify the good raine and reputation of the following named persons, to-wit: Charles F. Beushausen. John Min shull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, William R. Mellor, Louis Rein, and others, and to bring them into hatred, contempt and disgrace, did unlawfully, willfully and mali ciously compose, write and publish, and cause to be composed, written and published, a certain false, mali cious and defamatory libel of and concerning the said Charles F. Reush ausen, John Minsliull, Richard J. Nightingale, Joseph S. Pedler, Wil liam R. Mellor, Louis Rein and oth ers, in the Standard Gauge, a weekly newspaper, printed and published in Loup City, in said county of Sher man, and having a general circulation in said county, and which said scan dalous, false and malicious libel is as follows; that is to say: “After three years of manipulation of the county records by John Min chull, (meaning the said John Min shull), R. J. Nightingale, (meaning the said Richard J. Nightingale) etal. (meaning the said Charles F. Beush ausen, Joseph S. Pedler, William II. Mellor, Louis Rein and others) the last term we were in office (meaning the office of the county clerk of said county of Sherman) showed that we were 132 chattel mortgages short on the fee book.” (meaning the fee book of said George H. Gibson as such clerk, and that the said fee book of said George H. Gibson had been al tered, mutilated and erased by the said Charles F. Beushausen, John Minshull, Richard J. Nightingale, Jo seph S. Pedler, William II. Mellor, Louis Rein ane others, in such man ner that the fees which he, the said George II. Gibson, hadentered in said fee book for the tiling of said 132 chattel mortgages no longer appeared therein). Loup City, Nebr., Sept. 26, 1909, Gibson, being first duly sworn, depos es and says: “That before lie turned the keys of the county clerk’s office to Mr. Beushausen (meaning the said Charles F. Beushausen). in Jan., 1906, that he carefully compared the chat tel mortgage file with the fee book (meaning the fee book of said George H. Gibson) and that they tallied.” George H. Gibson.
