done to hlin if he puis it in the paper Whom the editor wants to see is a man who will tell what will be done if lie dont put It in the pa per Some people seem to think a newspaper mants a dog and should be treated as sucli with commands ara threats instead of requests and persuasiveness Not more than a thousand miles from entme is a piece of land that several parties want A wfinicn had homestead papers on this particular pleos of land but it appeaTS she had not complied with the law in regardtorcsldence In order to rtbtain this land acouple of gentle men proposed to contest the womaas right However- they had already takeu asnuch land as the government allowed tbem so they pre vailed upon a young man who worked for one of them to da the business Here -another snag was struck the young man was only 90 ears of age Ttsc law prdvides though- that the head of a family reuardless of age -can Uiomestead 160 acresnlland and it was tbenpreposed to have theym marry some one aud oscoine the head ofatfaaiily Several girls Mere proposed to but dvh and eVerybnt Tejectefi the oter The parties then came to Valentine and seveial women were approached but with no avail Almost at their wits eudUity finally thought of T prostitute here and getting into the good graces of this woman offered her a small sum afcraoney to marry they She accepted the offer aud the y m proceeded to the judge s oflice to obtain the necessary license but failed as lie could not remember bis intended wifes name This caused a tielay the authorities got onto the scheme anil upto the present time the jy m is still a bachelor and unless all signs fail lhe will remaiu so for years to come We pub- Ush this story mepalyitc show the length to which some parties will go in order to increase ttielr possessions of this worlds goods On the 8th of February the following petition -was circulated arounSd towu aud was sigued -by eighteen persons Valentine Nebr Feb 8 1833 To the Honorable School Board of District Nol Cherry county Nebraska The uuiersiguedvvoters and cltizenstn said district must respectfully petition that you make no disposition ofthe old school building -or grounds until after the regular June annual meeting of said district at which meeting the voters can decide just what shall be done with the same One of tbe Inherent rights of citizens of this country is the right of petition but we think that it looks a little odd to have a petition of this nature circulated when a regularly caHed meeting has already disposed of the questionat issue A meeting of voters had been held and by a unanimous vote authorized tbe board to sell the old schcfol -house and rounds At that time we had not heard a word against scuh action and investigation discloses the fact that not one of the parties who -signed the petition attended the meeting referred to although it was well advertised by notice by the newspa pers and by word of mouth Here is wheroour citizens make thegreatest mistake of their lives they fatl to attend meetings of this sort cau cuses etc aniKhen they complain if action is not taken the way they want it But this is -not the reason we put this subject ou the dissecting table The operators knife or typewriterIays bare the following facts The petition was cir culated and dued Feb i lite Ujud uskud lur bids lor the old building aud they were opened on the 28 among the bids was one from the party whose name apptars first on the petition the board signified its intention of rejecting al bids offered on March 3 maik the date The petition icas filed with the school board The query naturally arises What would have be come of the petition had this partys bid been accepted heveral otnttr queries also arise in connection with the incident but we will no
