' . - . ; At Humboldt this week we . , , " ' , . t. * . , \ - : , _ , found a mil n who has been tole . and who believes thc story , that . , . thc Mo. River has been known to -i i > . back the waters in thc Ncmaha ; . . River up to Dawson. Hc is , an. " , " excellent and ' intelligent , . ' a'cry 'r " gcntcl11an , but lilac : many of us ; ; - : , " arc , 'on l11any bjccts , doesn't ; , : , . stop to think what absurd pro- .r . . .

River i each has an elevation - ' { vation whose difference is not , , less than 100 ft , ; according thc - United States Geodetic survey , . , Ir , the 10 , river has 1 an annual 1 - 111lxium raise of fifteen feet. It has in forty years a maXH1111 ' raise of twenty feet , this happcn- ) . ' i , " cd last in 1881. Thc banks of . . thc Ncma.ha , a little above thc , ' . : , ' : ' mouth , have an clevation , above " low water mark , of about 20 fect : ; / ' . Hence , thc greatest probable . raise that may conic in thc : Mo. j' _ _ ' river will not disastrously affect i the J'icmaha : ' bottoms of thc same , down at thc mouth , and , when thc channel is Made straight there will bc a swift current not , ' " \ only down at the mouth of thc Ncmaha but out into and beyond thc ccntrc of the Mo. river. The _ fact that thc .1\0. river and thc . Nemaha River may each have a . . . . ' maximum raise at thc same time ' will not snake an inundation of , the Ncmaha bottoms . Occasionally we find a good careful citizen who thinks that possibly by some kind of legislature - ; laturc lpg'crc1emain 1 the county ' may be madc to assume pay mcn t . of drainage obligations. . Two or three times wc have r affronted thc sensibilities of men . by asking pointedly "do you think there is any such danger ? " One mall replied "Do you think , , I am a fooL" \Vc have it this way now we say of course , YOU 11' " know bettcr. This i11icitcs a t. chaste reply that docs n't grate j' on our scnsibilities. As wc have . ! written before , this matter had . been . , settled for all time by a de- cision of our state supreme court I : llilc \ in 1879 and found in \01. 8 of supreme court rcports. The - legislature had , in 1873 , enacted 1 l s , ' ' ) . . that Falls City precinct should LOCI \ L AND i1ERSONAL. , John Hossack drove to SabC'tha on Sunday. .

DUl1I\ , who ' contented that thc law was unconstitutional - al and that a tifx could not IJC levied amI collected for such pur- poses therefore hc refused ; to pay taxes , the case was carried to thc supreme court by hc bond hold- ers , who had been defeated in the lower court before Judge Weaver , thc supreme court affirming the decision of thc lower court. Thc court house never cost thc tax- payers of thc county a cent , the investors lost thick moncy. There is no possible : way by which thc county can be made to pay thc obligations a drainage district no more than that of any other minor municipality of the county. It is surprising that any citizen could form such strange conclus- loIls. , I It is a 'wcll known fact that wherever drainage has been undertaken - dcrtallcn in other states the ' 'cng- necr's report fi.'i.cS thc rate of taxes to bc assessed against each acre of land to be benefited within - in thc contour line of thc drain- age district and that is always clone on thc basis of thc benefits to be rccc \'cd. Each owner of land has a given time usually forty days after dui and formal notice made and pro- vided in such cases in which : o appear before thc proper tribunal in our case thc county board of supervisors and show cause why hc should not be so assesscd. Docs any fair minded man believe - lieve l that our county board or their successors elected by the So\'crign people of thc county , will impose thc obligations of a drain- age system of . thc county chargeable - able to others than those that arc bcncfitted contrary to an customs and forms of law and reason ? I have more faith in my fellow man than to believe any such non- Sell SC. Forty thousand acres of thc best lands in the world can bc and will be permanently reclaimed - ed , good roads can be made across thc bottoms , the sanitary conditions - tions of thc entire comity will be greatly improved thcrcby. Future - turc expenses for county bridges and repairs for thc' same wm bc greatly reduccd. Yours truly R E. Grinstcad their parents Mr. and Mrs. Ceo. Abbott.

It is inactive so long as exposed to thc air , but when carried beneath time skin , as in thc wounds caused by percussion caps or hy rusty halls , and when thc air is exclud- cd thc germ is roused to activity and produces thc most virulent poison ! known 'l'hesc germs may hc destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as thc injury iR received.
