On last Saturday, in companywith
a number o f citizens of Columbus, 1
made a visit to TDavid City. ;Noone
can conceivo how much I was sur
prised on reaching that place., ,ln
factif I had been aloue.1 should
uot have known"" that I was ,in the
capital of Butler county. Since I
last visited there it has grown to an
extent beyond my comprehension.
The buildings are good and substan
tial, aud there is with most of them
some regard to architectural 6tylc,
which gives a neat and tasly appear
ance to the structures of the city.
The citizeus of David or the city
fathers have madethemsclvespublic
benefactors to coming posterity by
the effort put forth on the Park,
which consists of about five acres of
ground, planted to trees, and which
will soon be a place of resort for all
pleasure-seekers, and a thing of
beauty, in the heart of the city.
The people are surely intelligent
aud appreciative. I found on arri
val that the Columbus Dramatic
Club were to play "Redeemed, or
Among the Breakers," and that the
Grand Army of the Republic were
to hold a "camp-fire" that evening.
It occurred to me that this division
of forces would result in a slim at
tendance at each, but the citizens of
David, jealous of their name, it tnay
be, stirred around, and filled both
houses full and had a surplus left.
The Amateur Troupe occupied Pan
tcr's Hall, a room 24x80 feet, which
is a success in all its appointments,
and, I venture to say, exhibits some
of the finest sccuic painting in the
State, designed and executed too, by
a citizen of the place.
Of hotels, I can, by experience,
only speak of the Commercial, but
this house ia ''immense" in the cui
sine. They took in the Troupe and
a large number of the G. A: R., and
still had rooms and edibles in re
serve. The audience at the Opera House
was of an intelligent and apprecia
tive character, and took in the play
with much pleasure, which the
Troupe really rendered well.
I called, of course, on McCune of
the Iiepublicanf who was good-na
tured, as usual, and on the alert for
items for his very excellent paper.
David City is surely a very beau
tiful place, situated favorably, the
configuration of the land being such
ns to make it one of the finest town
sites I have seen in Nebraska. It is
a live place, aud looked full of busi
ness, especially in the line of agri
cultural implements. The genial
mavor of the citv, B. O. Perkins, in
not "a bit proud," and to accornmo
datchis people can come down Iroin
his position and take a lively "bit of
a discussion" by the bonis, and han
dle it in a manner that would be a
credit to a professional.
Take it, all in. al!, we call David
City a first-clas town, surrounded
by a fiist-class country, filled with
intelligent, enterprising aud wide
awake people
Barrett t. Grlala.
Editor Journal : I have neithor
the time nor disposition to reply to
the numerous communications
from P. S. Griffin, nor will 1 notice
anything beyoutl what relates lo his
official conduct.
Iu the last issue of your paper he
publishes a certificate from the
treasurer of Dist. No. 44 stating that
Griffiu had turned over all "books,
papers, moneys, etc., belonging to
said district, and had made a com
plete settlement with him, his successor.
Let us see. Last year al the annual
meeting the director's record show
ed that Griffiu had something over
$413 in his possession belonging to
the district. Did he then turn it
over to his successor? No. Where
was the money? He claimed to
have loaned it to a cousin with
which to start a salooc. He promis
ed, however, to make . good his
delinquencies aud has since paid all
but $100 which he still owes aud for
which he has given his note. This
is the kind of "complete" settlement
he has made, aud the "honest" aud
"true" accouut of moneys iu his
possession. A settlement -with a
promise to pay; Very honest aud
very complete settlement, isn't it?
Now since Mr. Eikmeyer is so
anxious to endorse Griffin's honesty
we will give him a passing notice
also. Ho too has loaned two hun
dred dollars of the district's monoy
and taken another promise to pay.
If this brace of worthies will refer
to page 749 of the revised statutes
they will find that to loan or use the
funds of a district is a criminal
olleuse punishable by both fine and
imprisonment. Ignorance of the
law, the consent of other members
of the board, nor the advice of any
one can not be pleaded lor such con
duct, and will not stand in law.
We would have anicc state of af
fairs iu our country if all the
custodians of the people's money
would loan or use it, aud when a
demand is made upon them for the
luuds they would respond by simply
giving their notes iu payment.
Now, in conclusion, 1 will say
that ii Mr. Eikmeyer will resign his
position as treasurer and turn over
all the money in cash due the dis
trict from both him aud Griffiu, by
the first Monday iu April, all will
be well, but if this is uot done 1
shall consider it my duty, as repre
senting the educational interests of
the county, to commence action
agaist both of them for embezzle
ment. Yours &c.

County Supt.

The members of the David Citv

think, to say that the members of
the Columbus Dramatic Club were
more than pleased when they put in
an appearance at the Opera House
in David City, Saturday evening,
just previous lo the entertainment.
Spcice & North have received
a large number of copies of the
Omaha Weekly Jiepublican giving
description of Columbus aud Platte
count. Parties iu the country
wishing to send to their friends in

S. C. Smith, land agcnf, tells us
that II. H. Cosby of Glenwood, la.,
has bought a tract of land in Platte
county, aud expects, to come here
with bis family this spring. Also
that Clias. Hedges of Grinnel, la.,
expects to locate near the city and
engage in the raisiug of fine stock.
A parly of eight Swedes went to
Newman's Grove Iast week, expect
ing to locate in Platte county, near
that neighborhood.
The bridges over the
channels of the Platte river, between
here -and David City, arc in a bad
condition, endangering .'.life, and
thereby threatening a loss of trade
to Columbus. It is understood that
four years ago Butler count' secur
ed the passage of a law ou bounda
ries, which threw these bridges
(built by her) beyond her border,
but the territory thus stricken from
Butler, wa3 not attached to any
other county. This state of affairs
should in some way be remedied so
that some authority could take
charge of the bridges.
, At the debate on Prohibition,
Monday evening, it was apparent
from the apologies 'that the dispu
tants were not fully prepared for
the discussion. Mr. Sherman's open
ing speech was fair, and he certainly
hud out a large field fprargument.
Mayor Speice, in a coo), dispassion
ate manner discoursed on the evils
of prohibition, while Jndge Higgins
was disposed to treat the matter
facetiously. Postmaster Gerrard
came to the front with logical de
ductions, while Sup't Barrett came
in with various assertions unaccom
panied by statistics. The matter
was laid over for another meeting.

Tho Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole humau nyHtcni, as it con
trols the life, health aud happiness
of man. When it U disturbed in its
proper action, all kinds of ailments
are the natural result. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the
heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system, are all
immediately connected with the
workings of the Liver. It has been
successfully proved that Green's
August Flower is unequalled in
curing all persons afflicted with
Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and
all the numerous symptoms that
result from an unhealthy condition of
the Liver and Stomach. Sample
