It is said that it will take $100,000 to repair the damage to the B. & M. In Nebraska. The floods iu Spain, according to recent accounts, are wonderful in extent and severity. S. J. Platt, a student in the Ann Arbor University, mysteriously dis appeared the other day. The gold iu the Bank of England is greater than for many years, and amouuts to X, 15,500,000. Louis Bovle shot and killed J. S. Ballard, his brother-in-law, the oth er day in Leadville, Col. Thirty thousaud persons are suff eriug for want of provisions in the flooded districts of Spain. It is claimed the Irish vote in Northampton, England, will be thrown against Chas. Bradlaugh. Five treaties and two hundred and and sixty - five nominations are awaiting the action of the senate. Cahiix, who shot Daly, the victim of nn agrarian outrage in West Meath, Ireland, has been arrested. It is claimed that there is now about $17:J,000,000 of gold coin and bullion iu the vaults of the treasury. The widow of John Brown is liv ing on a farm with an unmarried daughter near San Jose, California. The Sioux City Journal Rays: "Fremont has a citizen named A. Ghost." That's a true ghost story. Randolph Co., Ala., was visited last week by a cyclone which killed John Embrey, his wife and two children. A report comes from Hungary that the river Theiss has overflowed and destroyed thousands of acres of wheat. Some one has the impudence to express his belief that an Ohio man will be made Commissioner of Pensions. Thdrman, Evarts and Howe sailed from New York on the 5th to at tend the international monetary con ference at Paris. The position of Commissioner of Indian Affairs has been tendered to the lion. Hiram Price, of Iowa, and by him accepted. Prince Carolath has been di vorced from his wife, who will soon take Bismarck's hopeful son, Count Herbert, for her husband. The house of Edwin Reeves, near Stanton, Va., burned, and two chil dren perished in the flames. Reeves Is probably fatally burned. The North Platte Nebraskan ad vocates the consolidation of the Fifth Judicial district for purposes of political power and prestige. It is stated Secretary Lincoln is revising the list of appointments in his department, equalizing salaries, and weeding out incompetents. Forty thousand pounds of gold, principally from, private sources in Holland and Russia, was obtained the other day for the United States. Mrs. C. A. Evans, of Omaha, gave birth to fourcbildrcn last week. The death of all of them was report ed on Friday, having lived only a few days. Last week serious floods were reported throughout Spain. There is great distress among tbo people, and general destruction to property and crops. As the reports come from th e earthquake district the accouuts in crease in horror. Thirty villages were destroyed and forty thousand people made destitute. The round house of the Utah Northern railroad, at Logan, recent ly burued to the ground. Five engines were badly damaged. The loss is estimated at $40,000. Chio ask6 for 4,000 tents. Only fifty houseB are standing. On all hands cries of distress arc heard from the ruinB, but nobody dares approach to render assistance. The Irish members of Parliament held a meeting after Gladstone's speech. The general opinion wbb that if the bill passed there would be little cau6c left for complaint. A report from Des Moines, on the Sth says the heaviest snow storm of the season occurred during the last twenty-four hours. The deposit is rapidly forming first-class slush. Gov. Jackson, of W. Va., issued the other day an unconditional par don to Elihu Gregg, sentenced to be banged for burning the court house at Preston in lbbH ; he was seventy eight years old. Two thousand colored men of Louisville, employed in the Black Diamond Steel Works, went outlast week on a strike for higher wages. They were getting $1 per day, and only ask for $1.10. GenvMcCook, who has been on Gen. Sherman's staff for years, has been ordered to join his regiment at White Hiver, and Chaplin Mellius has been ordered to take charge of education in the army. It is reported that Secretary Lin coln is about to introduce some reforms in the staff appointments of the army, by distributing more equally the fat and .easy berths with a taste of hard service. The street-car strike iu Chicago closed about 3 p. m. of the Sth, by the unconditional surrender of the company, which decided to grant every demand of the men. AH lines arc running agaiu as usual. The strong shock of earthquake at Chio Island the other day do atrojed many bonnes, aud seriously damaged all that were left standing. The shock was so great that it was felt ikt Tinos aud other islands. Chancellor Fairfield of the Statu University gives excellent reasons for believing that his wife did not commit suicide, but was using her ordinary method of pre venting an attack of apoplexy. At a recent affray which occurred between the people and the police who were protecting the process servers on au estate near Ballaghader, in county Mayo, Ireland, two men were killed and many wounded. The steamer "E. O. Standard," while making a landing the other night near Quinn's, abovo Cairo, struck the bauk and sunk in fifteen feet of water. Her cargo of boxes floated off. Happily no lives lost. The latest accounts from the Chio Island earthquake, by way of Con stantinople, estimate the number of victims at 5,000. All foreign meu of war at Smyrna started for Chio Island, with succor for the sufferers. The request by, the German Reich stag to Bismark to bring about an agreement between the European powers for international action for the suppression of conspiracy, was opted with only three dissenting votes. A tie-union of the Army of the Tennessee took placo at Cincinnati on the 0th. Generals Sheridan, Popp, and others were present. Ex Prcsideut Hayes and others were expected to arrive in time to take part in the exercises. Accounts from Dakota give a doleful picture of the flood and the damage caused thereby in that ter ritory. Lowlands have all been submerged; thousands of head of stock swept away and drowned ; railroads ruined, and all sorts of property damaged. Count Hamilton, chancnlor of the University of Upsal, Sweden, has been arrested charged with for gery to the amount of 40,000. Names counterfeited include those of the King and Queen. Learning, it appears in this case, is not a pre ventive against crime. Another shock of earthquake was felt on the 5th in San Christobel, there being light oscillations all morning. Another earthquake was reported the same day in the Island of Znnte. Vibrations continued during the day, and were prolonged, but no damage has been done. James S. McKinney was recently arrested In Montana, and brought back to Omaha, charged with the seduction of his niece, who has been detained in jail at Omaha as a wit ness against him. McKinney's broth er from Missouri is at Omaha to assist him in procuring counsel, etc. The republican party was greatly split up in the city election at Fre mont, the natural result, a democrat ic victory, electing their entire ticket except one councilman. Sang waB elected Mayor. The city election in Omaha resulted in the same way, electing Mr. Boyd, Mayor, from a divided republican vote. Another rise was reported in the Missouri river at Yankton on the oth ;lower part of Yankton was sub merged aud the people moved to the upper part; no lives lost, but great damage to property. A re port came from Bon Homme that several persons had been drowned aud scveu families lost near Green Island. No lives were lost by the high water at Niobrara, aud tho damage to the town is slight. The river at that point during the flood was about six miles in width. Its sur face is now covered with broken ice. A few miles east of that point the breadth of the water was twelve miles, retaining this width without exception for forty-five miles. Gen. Mahone's desk in the senate was again decorated the other day with a handsome floral anchor, to which was attached a card with the following endorsement: 'Ilon.Wm. Mahone The colored Virginians conjoin in this tender as an evidence of their appreciation of the manly stand taken by you in defence of free speech, a fair ballot and an honest count." The republican senators have con cluded in view of the fact that they have a majority in the senate they should at once be permitted to organize the senate and close up the executive business, but on the other hand the democrats are determined to check and Btop necessary business, and thus delay and hinder the Ex ecutive in confirming or rejecting his nominations. Senators are only the servants ofthe people, and should in all cases execute their will and represent their interests. It is rumored that a war of races has broken out in the valley of Canete, one of the most fertile prov inces in Peru, South America. ItiB reported in this connection that over two thousand Chinamen have been murdered by negroes, and cholas, aud cane fields, sugar houses, ma chinery, and other property, to the value of millions, destroyed. It is stated that the work of murder and pluuder is still going on, and all for eigners have fled from the valley. It is apprehended that similar scenes will be enacted throughout Peru. Kallroad. The bad woather has prevented work upon bridges that went down in the receut floods on the Loup and Platte, and it will take considerable time before they cau be replaced, but, while the weather is unfavora ble to bridge building with the actual material aud muscle work, it is at the same time favorable to the theoretical part of the same; plans ot action can be talked over ; schemes cau be thought of; provisions can be made to take full advantage of the first good weather that sets in. These remarks are applicable generally throughout Nebraska, particularly on the Platte and Loup rivers wher ever they were bridged, but more particularly at Columbus, which is interested just now in the recon struction or repair of two railroad bridges and two wagon bridges across these streams. Whatever this city r precinct concludes to do in regard to securing the initial point of the Omaha, Nio brara & Black Hills road ought to be done during this temporary break in the elements that forbids actual work by the company to put that road in running order. The breaks and troubles and extra work caused elsewhere will prolong this suspense somewhat, but the enormous losses of the company will not tend to lessen their demand, and it becomes us to do what we can now. The Journal does not wish to be con sidered too urgent in this matter, but we regard the future welfare of Columbus as depending greatly upon this enterprise, aud we wish to see it secured at once, ami beyond a doubt. We know that the management of the U. P. road desire, this result, as all their acts since tho matter was broached to them show, but tho sit uation is such (wo believe) that, as managers of the affairs of the Com pany, they can not offer the road on easier terms than have been pro posed. Would it not be well enough for our citizens to come together again, and see if the utmost has been done on the part of this precinct, by way of preliminary guarantee, in secur ing the support of tho voters for the measuro of aid asked of us ? School Treawurers. Section 4 of the uew law is as fol lows : "Tho treasurer of each district shall, within ten days after his elec tion, execute to the district and file with the director a bond of not less than five hundred dollars in any instance, nor less than double the amount of money, as near as can be ascertained, to come into his hands as treasurer at any ono time, with sufficient sureties, to be approved by by the director and moderator, con ditioned for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office ; such bond sliall be filed in the office of the county clerk of the county wherein the school district is situated; aud if he shall fail to execute such bond, his office shall be vacant, and the board shall thereupon appoint a treasurer, who shall be subject to the same powers as if elected to that office." By the above it will be seen that the treasurer files his bond with the di rector, whose duty, (it iB presumed) it is to file the same with the county clerk. The object of this is that any parties in interest may have the bonds convenient of reference. The high waters of the Missouri at Omaha exceed any flood ever known, rising nearly twenty-one feet above low water mark, extend ing over the valley from bluff to bluff, varying iu width from four to six miles, flooding the Union Pacific shops, and throwing out of employ ment thirteen hundred men. The water breaks over the track and sweeps everything before it. The lumber yard6 were under water and expected to float away. Council Bluffs inundated, and a broad and deep stream flowing through Spoon Lake, and citizens on the lowest grounds compelled to abandon their houses aud go up higher. At the hour the report was made, it waB impossible to give an accurate ac count of the damage done or that will be done, but it may run to mil lion dollars, and perhaps more. S. P. Rounds, the well-known Chicago "printers' man," has been proposed for the office of govern ment printer. We venture to say that a better selection could not be made in the United States. Sterling is every fibre a printer, as his life and works do shoV, from his boy hood, up to his manhood's prime. He knows the whole road, and he knows it very thoroughly. His remarkable success in business, evi dences that combination of faculties which endows their possessor with what is recognized as rare executive ability. Rounds is a Chicago man ; a sound republican; an upright, honest man ; a splendid printer, and would fill the position, in every res pect, handsomely, and we, with his host of warm friends, would rejoice to see Sterling P. Rounds "in." During the high' water at Omaha on the 7th a 6ad accideut occurred in the drowning of Nicholas Neenan and Michael Cunningham near the rip-rap. They started out in a skiff to go to ths rip-rap, which they reached in safety, just above the break of about fifty feet across the rip-rap, and then tried to cross to the other side, where the current was very strong and swift, which swept them into the main stream and among the crushing and grind ing ice, where they went down and disappeared perhaps forever, as by the rush of the mighty waters it is difficult to guess where their bodies may rest in the future. CoHHtj CJomraitMionciV Pro ceed iag!. March 29th, 1881. Full board present. Minutes of previous meetings approved.- Jacob Gregorius was appointed constable for Columbus precinct, and his bond approved. George C. Smith appointed road overseer for Dist.

Speice and Byron Millett were en gaged as attorneys to defend the county until the case is finally de cided. Warrants No. 51 and 53 were or dered to be delivered to I. Gluck and warrant No. 52 was ordered to be delivered to Morrissey & Klock, said warrants being assigned to them. March 30th, 1881. Fred. Blaser received contract to move Mrs. Conuell's house for the sum $20.00 in county warrants. Board agreed to have the precinct assessors take the census for this year.

Commissioner Joseph Rivet was appointed a committee of one to in quire about the condition and fur nish aid to Mrs. Galloway. Board adjourned till April 28th, 1881, at 9 o'clock a. m. Attest : John Wise, Ch'm'n. John Stauffer, Co. Clerk. Bfllwood. April 6th, 1881. We no longer belong to the "float ing population," nor do we now stand in need of a "float representa tive." But the demolition of the telegraph poles between here and Columbus was considered the "most unkiudestcut of all." Bellwood is stranded just above high water mark, the snow is a thing of the "dead past," roads are in good con dition excepting a few places, and farmers round about are beginning spring work and all entertain the highest hopes of a prodigious crop. So much farm machinery to be re paired, the "village blacksmith" is busy "from early morn till dewy eve." Bellwood has received a great in flux of trade since the reign of high waters, the merchants being kept at their places of business all day, not having time to go home for dinner. Hutchinson & Taylor, who also have the post-office, declare there is no rest for the wicked. Here every one is shown the most prompt and polite attention, while everything relating to the postal department is conducted with the strictest integ rity. The house of the Derby Bros, might be represented by the tides ; coming in with the morning and early receding at night-fall. Thoy are taking time by the forelock and driving down a pump in front of their store. No more sunning of themselves in the rays of the depart ing sun, nor time for the artistic arrangement of their "bar'ls" upon the porch. Wild geese are scarce and high ; (let those who intend sowing wheat rejoice), though prairie chickens are occasionally heard, and you are re minded of the "bittern 'o boom," and again "what larks," and how they sing.
