No doubt considerable loss has
been sustained by farmers in the loss
of all kinds of stock since winter set
in, but those who owned sheep and
did not provide proper shelter from
the cold and storms will be the
heaviest losers.
Up to the time of putting the
Journal to press, Tuesday evening,
no trains have been able to reach thn
oity over the A. & N. from Lincoln
or from Norfolk over the Jackson
branch, since Thursday last, owing
to the heavy drills.
Now is a good time to buy pas
sage tickets to and from Europe.
Anderson & Roen are selling tick

about $40,00, and to other points at

Judge Higgins has been under

has suffered severely from a lame

which he sustained on the limb.
His pluck has kept him up however,
and he manages to attend to bus
iness the moat of the time even dur
ing the stormy weather.
Robert Uhlig has retired from
active business for the present, hav
ing sold out his hardware business.
We believe he Intends recuperating
his energies in the pleasures and re
lief from business cares by a visit to
the scenes of his childhood in Ger
many. He will probably come back
and engage again in business with
renewed zeal.
Fun aud sentiment found vent
Monday last through the privileges
of St. Valentine's day the crude
caricatures of the comic ehpet pan
dering to the one, and the little
gingerbread arrangement, with ver
ses, answering the requirements of
the other. A iittle malice, too, may
have shown itself in the selection of
rude "hints" for sensitive natures.
We will have to admit that our
reporter has been guilty of neglect
in not having ere this introduced to
the readers of the Journal Mr. Geo.
D. Foster as a new acquisition to
the business ranks of the city. The
gentleman comes from North Platte
and has purchased and is now en
gaged .in managing the hardware
business of Robert Uhlig, at the old
stand ou 12th street.
The question of which would
most effect a young man's social
standing, the smoking of a pipe
or a cigar upon the street, was
uuder discussion by a couple of
Columbus young men the other day.
According to the deffiuition of the
hard-headed old philosopher who
defined smoking as "fire at one end
and a fool at the other," it would
make no difference iu what shape
the resnlt was brought about.
Major Frank North came down
from North Platte Sunday. We be
lieve he started up west with the
intention of ascertaining by actual
observation the condition of the cat
tle on the Dismal, in which he is
interested, but the storm made it
impracticable for him to do so. He
says that while at North Platte a
man who bad last fall driven 2100
head of sheep to range on the Dis
mal, about fifty miles north of there,
came into the city with bis blankets
strapped upon his back saying that
was all he had left, the sheep having
all perished during the winter.
Mrs. David Anderson returned
from the east last Saturday night.
Her trip from Chicago to the Bluffs
during the great storm of last week
was a sad, monotonous journey.
The train she came to the Bluffs on
was towed through suow banks
from Atlautic by seven engines, and
yet the train was compelled to halt
half a mile from the transfer house.
Mrs. A. is not much elated with
winter visits to her friends east, as
there was two feet of snow when
she arrived at Dayton, and the whole
country was inundated with water,
and it was raining in torrents when
be left.
FOKtiERY.
A Platte County Official Detected In
the Crime, Acknowledges His Guilt,
Promises Redress, Eludes the
Police and Slopes.
It is the unpleasant duty of the
Journal to chrouicle the sudden
disappearance ot a citizen and official
of the county, uuder circumstances
which leave no doubt that he was
guilty of the crime of forgery, and
that he fled the community to escape
the arrest and punishment, which
seemed inevitable.
The facts connected with the affair
so far as we have been able to ascer
tain them are about as follows :
S. L. Barrett, Superintendent of
Public Instruction of Platte county,
has for some time past been dispos
ing of school district orders tor
various amounts, the baukiug firm
of Anderson & Roen and different
individual citizens becoming pur
chasers. Among the latter Mr. I.
Gluck was one of the heaviest pur
chasers, and recently becoming
aware that all was not right with
the paper, he bad an interview with
Barrett upon the matter, who admit
ted that he had been guilty of for
gery, but not with the intention of
defrauding any person, as he bad
intended to make the orders good to
the purchasers, and would, if allow
ed a little time aud not prosecuted
tor his crime, fix things up to the
satisfaction of all in a pecuniary
way ; that gambling was at the bot
tom of his trouble, and that to re
cover his losses at the gaming table
he had been led estray. Whether
sympathy for a young aud once
promising man. whose life-prospects
seemed about to be blasted, or selfish
interest iu recovering their money,
was the main influencing power
which moved the parties interested
we are not able to say, but doubtless
both had their weight, and Barrett
was allowed his liberty, upon the
promise that he would immediately
make arrangements to take up the
forged paper. This he at once sot
about doing, and at his solicitation
his brother-in-law canto on from
Iowa to aid him if possible. In the
meau time Barrett was shadowed by
the police, who had orders to arrest
him, should he attempt to escape. It
seems that the brother-in-law was
fearful that his relative's crime cov
ered a larger field than was admitted
by him, and refused to go security
for the payment of all the forged
orders which might turn up, and as
this was the only hope of the erring
man for a settlement, arrest aud im
prisonment seemed staring him in
the face.
Matters were in about this condi
tion on Thursday last, and on Friday
morning Barrett was missing, hav
ing fled during the night. He was
seen at Osceola, and had the tele
graph wires been in good working
condition would probably have been
arrested, but at that time the storm
was raging, and the wires all in bad
condition and in some instances use
less, and the intelligence of his crime
arrived to late. Of the extent of the
forgeries nothing more is known
than can be inferred from Barrett's
own statement, to Messrs. Gluck and
Anderson & Roen that it would take
about $1,400 to fix him up.
Anderson & Roen and I. Gluck
are holders of acknowledged forger
ies, and other persons in the city
hold orders which pretty good evi
dence point to as the same kind of
paper, among whom are John Wig
gins, hardware dealer, and John
Wermuth, of the State Bank.
The plan upon which Barrett
operated, briefly stated, was this :
He was agent for some eastern firm
in the sale of school books, also acted
in the same capacity for a firm en
gaged in the manufacture and sale
of school furniture. To school dis
tricts wauting books and furniture
these goods were Bold by him and
payment taken in an order on the
district, signed-by the director and
moderator. Barrett possessed him
self of blank orders and by forging
the names of the above mentioned
officials of the district that he chose
to make instrumental iu helping hjm
to a raise of funds, he had negotiable
paper unless the forgeries were
detected. It is the general supposi
tion that the school book and furni
ture firms hold the larger portion of
the forged paper.
Barrett left behind him in this city
a wife, a very estimable lady, aud
two email children. Mrs. Barrett,
with her children, has returned to
her old home iu Iowa iu company
with her brother, Mr.C. L. Stodghill.
St. Patrick' Day.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians
of this city are making arrangements
for a graud celebration of this day,
occurring on the 17th of March. We
are informed that Omaha Division
of the order, numbering over fifty
members, with band, will be here
on that day and participate In the
grand parade which will take place.
Both the Omaha and Columbus Di
visions will be dressed in the full
uniform of the order. As an inter
esting feature of the parade, may be
mentioned the carrying of a stand of
colors combining the American and
Irish flags, presented by the lady
friends of the order in tbi9 city. The
staff will be surmounted by the old
Irish pike and battle-ax, with the
following mottoes upon the flag:
"Maid of Erin," The Irish Wolf
dog, "The Harp of Shamrock," "The
Round Tower," "The Sand-Burst,"
The Wreath of Shamrock around the
words "Erin go-bragh" in gold let
letters. In the evening at tho Opera
House the order will eive a rrand
bail.
The Storm.
The wort storm of the winter,
and probably the most disa trmij in
results of auy that has visited this
section of country for a number of
years, prevailed duriug Friday and
Saturday of last week. The steady,
quiet snow-fall of several hours had
but just subsided, with an interven
ing few hours of still, cold weather,
wheu old boreas came howling
down from the northwest, where it
would seem he had been muster'ng
his forces for a masterly stroke, ilut
should lay in the shade all lunuer
efforts of the season. And as a truth
ful chronicaler of current events, v?e
must admit that he did it. With the
snow from the heavens and that
forced from the ground, where it lay
evenly distributed over the ficp of
the earth in ample accumulation,
pedestrianism was rendered a little
precarious, and viewed only from a
scientific stand-point, the storm was
indeed wonderful to behold; 'ooked
at in a practical every-day sort of a
manner, there was nothing to ad
mire in such ridiculous girations
and contortions of the elements;
and from a dispeptic view of the
situation, no doubt it wa9 simply
diabolical. The immediate local re
sults may be summed up in a gen
eral blockade of thoroughfares, and
stopping travel by rail, delaying
and impeding telegraphic communication.
IIIG T1K EXT MONTH.
PROGRESS OK THK PLANS FOK THE IN
AUGURATION OF rmCSlDKNT QAR
FIKLD. WHAT HAS BEKN DONE
FOR THE PERFECT ACCOMMO
DATION OF THE THRONG
FROM ABROAD.
The preparations for the inaug
uration of President Garfield on the
fourth of March are being carried
forward iu Washington with a vim
and earnestness which bespeaks an
event possibily the greatest in the
history of the National Capital.
There appears to be any amount of
money to perfect details on a very
grand scale; and, if the weather is
auspicious, the probabilities are that
the spectacle will be fine beyond
description. Those who had b cu
in Washington may appreciate the
extraordinary advantages Penusyl
vauia avenue preseuts for decora
tions and displays in military par
ades. It is proposed, among other
things, to erect an arch for each
State in the Union ; and, as far as
practicable, these arches will present
features of the different common
wealths, distinctive of their most
important interests. In addition to
these arches there will be a grand
triumphal arch at the Capitol end of
the avenue, and another at the Treas
ury end, and the different public
buildings in the city will be pro
fusely decorated; aud so general
have the citizens become interested
in the success of the event that there
is no question but that the private
displays will compare most favora
bly with those of the public build
ings. The matter of accommodating
the va6t throng which will be in at
tendance has been most happily set
tled by conference between the gen
eral committee aud the officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio road. The Bal
timore and Ohio has the only
double track between Washington
and Baltimore, and its running time
between the two cities is but one
hour. This practically throws open
the spacious hotels of the Monu
mental City for the entertainment
of the people in attendance upon the
inauguration. Conferences with the
Baltimore hotel-keepers have resul
ted in all pledging on their part that
no increase will be made on the reg
ular charges at their hotels ; and as
these are upon the most reasonable
basis compared with those of any
large city in the country, it is l.ke
ly that one can pay the nominal fare
of sixty (00) cents from Washington
to Baltimore, and live as cheaply as
if stopping at the Washington hotel?.
Fast trains will be run every half
hour between the two cities, and
with the very extensive equipment
of the Baltimore and Ohio Road
there can be no question of accom
modating any number of people.
The road is making elaborate pre
parations for the running of fast
trains from Chicago to Washington,
it having the only direct track from
Chicago to the National Capital, and
facilities which no other route can
command. Its depot in Washing
ton is just across the street from the
Capital grounds, and this makes it
by far the most advantageous route
for those who go to attend the in
auguration. Very low round trip
rates will be made, with tickets good
for a week or more, and they will
be placed upon sale in time for all
who desire to obtain them in good
season. The new dining car line in
and out of Chicago will meet the
demands of the exacting in the way
of perfectly appointed meals at the
uniform rate of seventy-five (75)
cents. For the information of those
desiring it, the Baltimore and Ohio
have had printed a neat copy of the
official programme of the inaugura
tion : it also gives the Presidents in
regular order, begiuning with Wash
ington. Persons desiring it can ob
tain copies from any of the Com--panv's
agentP, or by writing to C.

Reports from different persons
who have been in tho northwest
part of the county since and during
the storm say that trail with teams
is next to impossible, ou account of
the heavy drifts which are every
where piled up over tho face of the
country, in many instances so hardly
packed and frozen as to almost bear
the weight of a horse. The stock of
many farmers suffered for feed, ow
ing to the fact that the hay cut last
fall was stacked ou the ground
where it was cured, away from their
farms, and was hauled by team as
it was needed from day to day, the
storm and impenetrable drifts cut
ting off the supply.
