In this issue of the Journal
will be found a communication from
a "Columbus Citizen" on the subject
of the capital removal. Viewed
from a standpoint of justice to the
whole state the ideas advanced by
our correspondent are deserving of
consideration ; at any rate we deem
him entitled to an expression of his
views upon the subject.
Our weather prophet and repor
ter was in the city last Wednesday,
and made us a pleasant call. His
name seldom, if ever, appears on his
reports, aud we fear he might object
if used in this connection. He has
age and experience on his side, and
his locks nearly as white as the Ne
braska snow, yet his eye is bright,
his step elastic and he appears hap
py. We always stand by his re
ports. Engineer Joseph Kimmerer of
freight No. 30, on the A. & N. says
that at the time snow was falling
here it was raining in Kansas, and
as a cousrquence very high water
prevails iu the rivers and streams in
that locality. The abutments of the
Company's bridge across Indepen
dence Creek, on the south end of the
line were being washed away when
he "pulled out" from Atchison, Mon
day. The bridge was a one-span
Howe Truss.
There are some people whose
actions would indicate thai no value
whatever is placed by them on other
peoples time, and that by no pos
sibility could too much of their pre
cious company be inflicted upon
those who have their daily business
to attend to. JJoys, avoid loafing
around business places, for though
you may be ever so well liked un
der proper circumstances, with the
habits of a loafer you are sure to be
despised, even though tolerated.
Prof. Cramer reports a very in
teresting meeting of the Excelsior
Literary Society of his school last
Friday evening. Some thpatricals
under the management of the lady
members was a very pleasant fea
ture of the programme of the eveu
ing. The question, "Resolved. That
it is better to send a mau into the
world with money than with an ed
ucation," was discns8ed,Cha?. Brind

Lubkerou tho uegative. Harry Ar
nold was elected president.
Mr. W. H. Hunuemau and wife
contemplate shortly making a trip
to Salt Like City, Utah, aud other
western points, with the view of
benefiting the health of Mrs. II. On
their return the family will remove
to Chicago, where it is their inten
tion to make their future home. The
loss of Mr. H. from the business
circles of Columbus is to be deplor
ed, his position there being among
the most reliable; and the removal
of the family from our midst will be
sorely felt and lamonted by all who
have come in social contact with
them.
Eleventh street, iu front of Ileit
kempers jewelry store, was the scene
of a fight between two brothers,
Samuel and Ferdinand Reinke, last
Saturday. Samuel was wielding a
neck-yoke of a wagon with telling
effect on Ferdinand, when policeman
McMahon, on behalf of the peace
and dignity of the city, objected to
any further exhibition of that char
acter, aud proceeded to arrest both
of the parties. To this Ferdinand,
probably thinking that his punish
ment had been sufficient, objected,
but was compelled to succumb to
what is inevitable when "Mac" Bay6
"come along, my lad.' Too much
drink was no doubt the principal
cause of the disgraceful exhibition,
as the judge considered them too
drunk for a hearing, and their trial
was set for next Friday, on a charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
Legal IVotcs.
Last week two civil actions, pend
ing in the district court, ul.c ti.ed
in this city, by referees, appointed by
consent. In the case ot Mrs. Ellen
Young, (formerly Elleu Compton)
against Morgan & Gallagher et al.,
suit was brought by Mrs. Young to
enjoin the collection of a judgment
of about $3f!0 out oi her property,
on the ground that it was rendered
on two forged notes. The Supreme
Court decided plaintiff" petition to
be sufficient, aud the case was -ent
back for trial. The evidence was
heard before N. H. Bell, Esq., of
Fremont, as referee, aud decision is
now peudiug.
The other case. Gerrard & Whit
moyer vs. Platte county, is of more
than ordinary local interest, and a
brief history of the case, with the
nature of the evidence brought out
as furnished by a Journal reporter
will be of interest to our readers.
The following are some of the fea
tures therein : Iu 1873 the 11 & M.
R. R. Co. was tho owner of a lnrge
amount of taxtble lands in Putte
county, which were omitted fr-nn
the assessment rolls and tax-list for
that year. Tho plaintiffs, in 1874,
brought this matter to the attention
of our county officials, and suggest
ed the propriety of placing such real
estate on the tax list for that year,
and have the county get the benefit
thereof. At the meeting of the
county board Oct. 20th, 1874, they
claim that they submitted a written
proposition to do everything that
was necessary to collect the taxes
thereon for that year, and receive 25
per ceut. of the amount thereof when
collected, and that they wore to get
nothing if they failed; that such
proposition was accepted by the en
dorsement of F. G. Be.eher, the then
county clerk, to that ell'ect. M .
Albert Rose, who was then one of
the Board, corroborates them, and
adds that he thinks such acceptance
was nover made by any forma' mo
tion, but the matter was talked ver
and agreed to by him in connect ton
with the other two commission, rs,
Messrs. John Hammond uudM i-'iael
Maher. These two gentlemen -tate
that they have no recollection of
having acted on such a proposition.
Mr. John Early states that he saw
Mr. Wliitmoyer have the writing in
the treasurer's office, but did not see
it before the Board. It appears that
no record was made of such trans
actions on the commissioners book
by the clerk. Mr. Stauffer, the
present clerk, and the successor of
Mr. Becher, states that he has search
ed thoroughly for bucIi papers in his
office, aud finds no trace of them.
However, notice was given to the
company, and the lands entered in
the list for 1S73, on the 4h day of
November, 1874. Iu the latter part
of March, 1SS0, they were sold for
the taxes which were delinquent for
that year, as well as all the years
thereafter up to that time, and cer
tificates of purchase were according
ly issued, the taxes, penalties and
interest thereon amounting to $;",
76G.83, and such certificates were
assigned to W. W. Pcet, about April
1st thereafter, for sixty per cent, of
such amount, which was $340009,
and this latter sum wa3 paid iuto
the Platte county treasury. Last
fall, before the session of tho district
court, Gerrard & Whitmoyer pre
sented their claim of .f 1430 09
against the county, to the Board of
Commissioners for services under
the alleged agreement, which was
rejected, and au appeal was taken to
the district court, and was referred
to Wm. II. Munger. Eq , of the
Fremont bar, to try, hear and deter
mine the issues of law aud fact in
volved, aud a decision from this
gentleman is pending on. a lu-ariug
of the evidence, which is substan
tially as given above.
Iu this place on Tuesday of last
week, the cases of Hunneman &
Tollman against Dale and Dod
dridge, action to enforce mechanic's
lien ou premises occupied by Dale,
in Columbus, and Doddridge against
Dale, ejectment, to recover same
property, were taken up by Mr.
Bell the referee. Messrs. Hunneman
and Doddridge compromised their
differences by the former purchasing
the subject matter of the action, aud
was substituted as plaintiff iu lieu of
Doddridge iu the ejectment suit, and
the matter was then continued for
further hearing till the first day of
March coming.
An individual at Red Cloud
gives notice through the columns of
the Argus to owners of bored wells
to call aud settle for the use of the
same by the payment of .$5.00. The
Guard of that place says : "It seems
that the royalty is claimed for the
hole in the ground made with an
auger and extensible rod. He has
evidently struck a fat thing provid
ing he cau make it work. We hard
ly think he expects anything more
than what he can get out of those he
may be able to scare into paying
him ; and if that's his little game he
had better locate his office elsewhere
than in this valley."

blowing from west or south and in
termediate points will be likely to
be followed by fair weather.
In these days of selfish greed
aud struggle for riche.-, an official
who is simply aud plainly honest, is
not the easiest person to meet with
in the daily walks of life, aud to find
oue who would not pocket his legal
fdis when opportunity offered, even
it the dear people did pay a little
unnecessary expense, might necessi
tate quite a canvas among the ser
vants of the public. These thoughts
occurred to a Journal reporter the
other da ,on heating coroner Heiutz
relating some incidents connected
with au application for an inquest,
which was recently made to him in
an official capacity the parties mov
ing in the matter being persuaded
by him to forego the holding of the
same, which, on investigation, ap
peared plainly unnecessary, and in
volving a useless expenditure of
money. And this after a journey oi
considerable distance, and more or
less personal expense, which might
have been legally covered by hold
ing the inquest.
