hours, Just now the people of Box
Butte county are considerably ng-
itatod ovor the question of a ro
inovol of tho county seat. Hem
ingford, a beautiful little city, lo
cated neur the geographical center
of tho county, is the prcsont seat
of county government. It war lo
cated thoro by the sensible choice
of the people of tho county, after
tlio downfall of old Nonpareil, but
Allianco. after gaining the distinc
tion of a division station of tho B.
& M. railroad, then tho U. S. Land
Office, her peoplo have looked
with covetous eyes upon tho coun
ty seat, and tho time having expir
ed during which they wero prohib
ited by law from making au effort
to movo tho coveted seat of gov
ernment, thoy began the agitation
last summer. Tlioy circulated a
petition praying the county com
missioners to call an election, and
a month ago it was presented. At
the samo time tho Hemingford
people and fanners generally, pre
nented a counter petition. As it
was an important mattor the board
did not grant or rofuso the petition
but passed it over to some future
time. The Alliance people becamo
anxious and at once commenced
mandamus proceedings to eoinpal
tho board to call a county scat
election. Judge Westover consent
ed to hear the case at chambers,
and did so at his othco in Rush
ville, yesterday. Hemingford was
represented by her citizens, H. R.

"Great men," said he, "aro
tho mllopost In tho progress of
civilization. Lincoln was not
onlv that, but was also a man of
God, prepared for and sent in j
tho time of groat crisis.
"Lincoln was tho child of
nature. From the bosom of
mother earth ho imbibad two
great thruths: Liberty and
equality. There was no pootry
in his onvlronment, yet his na
turo gavo forth rays of sunshine
which lighted all around.
Tho spoaker thon touched
lightly and with beautiful sim
plicity upon the many well
known noble and touching char
acteristics of Lincoln. Ho men
tioned tho humor, industry, ap
plication, tenderness and love,
all conducing to tho great and
noble character of our martyred
president.
Tho regligious side of Lin
coln's character was not neglect
ed in tho remarks of tho speaker
and he told how, ovon in tho
handling of armies and in tho
steering of tho ship of state, Lin
coln depended upon a higher
power, and in humble prayer ho
met his God and asked His bles
sing upon tho bleeding coan try.
As a final and comprohonsive
note upon tho character of Lin
coln Rev. Clarko compared him
to Samson. Said ho, "Lincoln
sat with his mighty arms out
streched. Ono clasped tho col
umn of slavery and tho other the
column of secession. Ho pulled
the mighty temple of tho con
spiracy down and died crushed
beneath its weight."
As tho lesson to bo learned ho
then cited tho many forms of ty
ranny now oppressing us. Not
tho least of those are the tyranny
of capital; tho tyranny of politi
cal parties and tho tyranny of
drink." Journal.
