HISTOHY OF THE LONG FIGHT.
Supervisors Enjoined from Building
and Officials Mny bo Compelled to
Omco in tno Open Air Supreme
Court Snys They Must Move.
A special to the Slonx Glty Tribune
oontnliiH ( ho following interesting no-
count of the Knox county swxt fight and
the flitimtlon now confronting the
county ofllolals :
"A Borioim difficulty hnfl arisen lu the
preparation of the otlloial lioino of the
county olllclnls of Knox county. The
ntnto supreme court has issued an order
that the county Heat bo changed to
Ooutor on April 1. The moil who have
ohargo of the buHlncnH of thn oonnty
must look up their ollloos in Niobrarn oil
the night of Maroh 111 , and the nox $
morning they imiftt como up niniling behind -
hind tholr desks on the Wlshondorf farm ,
eighteen iiiilos or thoronboutH from Nio
brara. Thers arc no if or amis attached
to the Hiipronio court's order , and if the
order is not obeyed to the letter , the of
ficers imiHt suiter for contempt of court ,
"To prepare for the housing of the
county oIllolalH , the board of supervisors
of Knox county last fall voted an appro
priation of sfl.fiOO for the beginning of
the construction of a court IIOUHO. A
lot \VIIH carved out of the corner of one
of the Wishondorf fields and tnuitiforrod
to the county for the consideration of $1.
Now the opponents of the Ooutor sup
porters have scoured au injunction
ngalnst the miparviRorH provontiiig their
expending this nioiiey for the now court ,
house. ThA final hearing oaiuiot occur
very long before the date sot for the ro-
movnl , and the present prospects liuli-
cato that the county olllcorH , when they
stop from their buggies on n6xt April
'Fool's Day , ' will have no roof.
"It is stated that nothing has boon
douo as yet toward the building of a
town on the site of the now Oontor. ' A
paper has boon started The Oonlor Out
look but it is printed at Wansix. At
last report the ooustrnotion of the bank
building hud not began. It in a long
haul from the nearest town , Orolghtoii ,
to Ooutor and building will bo au ox-
pousivo operation , with no railroad to
carry in lumber. Some of these living
in the nearest towns are debating the
question of moving bnlldirigs bodily
across country. Across the river in
Oharlos Mix county , two years ago , the
three towns of Platte , Oastalia and
Edgorton wcro hitched to 'ropes ' and
snaked across country bodily to now lo
cations. The prospective settlers of
Oontor may emulate the example sot by
the Mouth Dakota townsmen , and the
traveler in Knox county may within the
uoxt three months moot buildings creep
ing along the roads through the broad
prairies to the now town.
"Tho county scat fight that has led up
to this unusual mandate by the Nebraska
supreme court has boon the most re
markable in the btato , if not in the
west. It has been waging for some
years , 1ms sent the voters of the county
to the polls for almost as many special
elections , and has cost the tax payers of
the county the estimated sum of $20,000.
"In the year 1900 a petitlou was circu
lated by Oreighton people asking to
( vote on the proposition of relocating the
comity seat in the geographical center
of the county. The petition bore the re
quired number of signers and was died
Then Niobrara got out with her war
paint and induced enough of the poti
tiouers to remonstrate and withdraw
'their names to impair the legality of the
petition. The couuty supervisors , however
over , allowed the petitioners to'go gun
mng for counter-remonstrances , am
enough names wore put book on the
petition to make it valid. lu the throe
elections which followed , the last oo
cur ring at the time of tbo last genera
election , Oontor won.
"Neither Niobrara nor Bloomflold was
Batisflod , and the fight wont into the
county courts , it being claimed that tbo
petition was illegal. The county courts
uphold the remonstrators , but the state
supreme court , on appeal , has rovorec <
tbe flndiug of the lower court and or
dered the county seat moved to Center

venting easy passage by people on foot
many of these places contain paper , trash

There are a few boys in Norfolk 15 to

idioulo of their compauious , smoke
cigarots aud pipes , chew tobacco , use
very profauo language and put ou a

uo is exceedingly clever. They proceed
with such sneaking caution that it is
evident that they would be exceedingly
liscotufltod if'their parents or teachers

Fast Time on the Milwaukee Road.
One of the new , bic compound loco
motives recently put in service by the
Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
made a record run , Chicago to Milwau
kee , New' Year's eve. Fast mail train
No. 57 , engine 921 , engineer Ivens , with
six sixty-foot mail and express cars left
Chicago at 10:15 : p. m. , twenty minutes
late and reached Milwaukee at 11:43 : p.
m. , two minutes late , making the run
from depot to depot , eighty-five and
two-tenths miles , in eighty-seven min
utes , with one stop.
Considering the slow tlmo in the two
terminal cities , the slow-downs for five
railway crossings , the run was a re
markable ono aud is the fastest ever
made between the two cities.
Edgebrook to Stowell , seventy-two
miles , was covered in sixty-five minutes
( sixty-six and one-half miles per hour )
and Wadsworth to Western Union
Junction , nineteen miles , in sixteen
minutes ( sevouty-one and one-quarter
miles per hour ) .
Engine No. 931. has loaded weight of
200,000 pounds , drivers 84) inches , in
diameter , oyliuders 15-25x28 and has a
tender capacity of 18,000 , pounds of coal
and 7,000 gallons of water.

Geolofttciil Aaentn That Are Altrnya
llaiy In ft'nture'n Great Workihop.
Where Sinn llnm Coiavaratlr lr Lit
tle Influence.
The atmosphere plays Its part In geological
logical operations. Its corroding pow
er , backed by rain and wind , helps to
decay and disintegrate those rocks
which are exposed to Its Influence. Rain
completes the work thus begun. Wind
blows dust , sand and volcanic ashes
over largo tracts of cart.h In fact ,
over Iho whole of it
It is only of late years that geolo
gists have discovered that line vol-
cnulc dust Is carried over the whole of
the cnrth's surface and plays a very
Important part iu the deep sea depos-
is. On deserts and nearly rainless re-
; ! OUH blown snnd will wear away the
mrdust rocks by bcatlug ngalnst
.hem. Some sandstone formations ap
pear to have been piled up by winds.
Winds cause ocean currents , waves
and storms. The grcnt denuding
) pwcr of the sea is Inrgely due to the
nimosphuro. Some parts of the Eng-
Ish coasts niu being rapidly washed
awny. Plants nnd nnhnnls hnvc their
distribution considerably affected by
winds nnd ocean currents. Again ,
whether living lu water or on laud ,
animals live on the oxygen supplied
from the atmosphere , and land plants
absorb carbonic acid from the sanio
source.
Rain acts in two wnys : (1) ( ) chemic
ally by dissolving certain substances ,
such as lime , out of the rocks , nnd (2) ( )
mechanically by wearing down their
surfaces ns It flows over them. Any
old building a ruined castle or cathe
dral , for 'Instnncc shows a ' 'wcnth-
cred" surfnco resulting from iho nc-
Jon of rnlu and wind. In sandstone
structures the details of cnrving nro
often lost , and on old tombstones the
ottering can hardly be deciphered.
Springs nro due to rainwater collecting
: n rocks and rising to the surface.
Rivers arc fed by rnlus nnd springs.
A river Is a very powerful geologlcnl
agent In the hardest rocks rivers
jrndually carve out a valley or gorge.
This Is accomplished partly by chemic
ally dissolving ccrtnlu mineral sub-
stnuces , but chiefly by mechnulcnl
erosion , the stones , sand and mud
wearing away the bed of a stream ns
they run , and tumble over It
The finest examples of river action
are the famous canyons of Colorado ,
which In some places nro gorges 5,000
or even 0,000 feet deep , with vertical
sides. But , as already pointed out
rivers have a constructive nctlon qu te
ns Important as their destructive ac
tion. By bringing down their burden
of sediment Into lakes , estuaries and
seas they build up great piles of rock
and "sow the dust of continents to
be. "
Glaciers are rivers of Ice fed by the
"eternal snows" of high mountain
ranges such ns the Alps. They wear
out their own vnlleys ns rivers do ;
they transport mud , sand and stones to
grcnt distances , In some cases sending
them senled up In Icebergs to flont far
out to sen and on melting deposit their
burdens on the sen floor. Off the const
of Ncwfoundlnnd northern Icebergs
nro depositing n great mnss of "gin-
cinl drift"
The sen Is n grent denuding ngcnt ;
but Its work Is more constructive than
destructive. It Is the workshop where
nenrly nil tbo stratified rocks have
been nccumulatod nnd ranged In Inyers
or strata. The rivers nnd ocenn cur
rents continually bring In fresh sup
plies of debris even for hundreds of
miles.
Mnn , compared with the lower nnl-
mnls , produces but little effect ns n ge
ologlcnl ngent Still tbe human rnco
hns considerably modified the distribu
tion of plants by cutting down forests
and by cultivating certain plants to
supply food. So with nnlmnls. Cer-
tnln useful species hnvo been cultlvnt-
ed nnd enormously increased at the
expense of others which prove useless
or harmful.
But plants and animals have had ,
nnd still have , far more influence gee
logically. Coal senms are made up of
vegetable remains of former periods.
Forests bnvo nn linportnnt Influence
on cllmato nnd on animal as well ns
plant life. In the comparatively un-
iknown world of the ocenn marina
plants doubtless have Important func
tions.
Marine animals accomplish a vast
amount of geological constructive
work. Great deposits thousands of
feet thick owe their existence to small
cnlcnreous creatures living In the sea.
Coral reefs afford the most familiar
Illustration.
The force known as heat is of grcnt
Importance. The earth Is hotter below
( the surface nnd probably has a yery
high temperature toward , lts center.
In some places not yery far below Its
surface It contains highly heated rock ,
which occasionally flows over the sur
face during volcanic eruptions. In
other places wo find hot springs In con
nection with volcanic action.
Heat exercises a powerful Influence
on rocks deeply , burled .below the
earth's surface , chiefly by means , of
heated water and steam. In this way
rocks have been very much altered
or "metamorphosed. " The crystalline
echlsts have thus been brought to tbelr
present state by a series , of chemical
changes due to heat and there Is no :
doubt that they were once ordinary
deposits of clay , sand , etc. Outchln-
