Everybody don't know that or
dinary paint or axle grease are both
good for coating plows before lay

poorest machinery on a farm, be
cause it is killing on a team, distress
ing to a man aud does miserable

a coat of protection ou them and lay
them away in a dry place.

The Secretary of the Keystone

communicating with the B. & M.

I fail to see either pith, point or
logic in "Nemo's" communication.
Any mysterious transaction of
county officials a decade ago or a
score of years hence is far-fetched
as a parallel to what the city of Co
lumbus may or may not do. Of this
I am sure, the city of Columbus
is to-day insolvent. She is sorely
besieged by long-suffering and im
portunate creditors. Judgments
have been obtained, and more will
follow, if speedy relier is not afford
ed. City warrants are now at a
discouut of from tweuty to forty
per cent.
Her ten thousand dollars of ten
per cent, floating indebtedness can
be readily converted into ten thou
sand dollars, seven per cent., twenty-year
bonds.
Tho city saves throe thousand dol
lars yearly interest. Her credit is
"A 1."
She goes iuto the market- with
ready cash, and purchases her labor
and material for cash, with all the
discounts that cash commands.
Now these are stubborn facts. If
"Nemo" has any better remedy to
aPP'' please let us hear from him.

COLUMBUS MARKETS.
Our quotations of the markets are ob
tained Tuesday afternoon,and are correct
and reliable at the time.
Charles Km tint came down from
Norfolk yesterday morning. He
thinks, from what he has seen of the
movements of the U. P. officials, that J
it will be but a few days until the
Union Pacific .Co. will own the road
between Sioux City and Norfolk. If
that be so, we may look nut for a
still greater increase of their busi
ness at this point, because through
trains from Columbus to Sioux City
means a good deal more than tho
transfer hero of passengers going
north of the east-and-west-rnnning
roads ; it means a shorter path to our
lumber pile, it means a shorter haul,
and virtually another market for our
grain, iu short it means business,
and load of it.

sou computed the distance he travel

it amounted to over 1G.000 miles,

Will our city council explain to
the tax-payers of Columbus how,
after the official terms of city officers
had commenced, their salaries could
be legally increased under tho con
stitution and laws of Nebraska?
Constitution, 'article 3, section 1C,
provides that tho compensation of
any public officer shall not be ;i
creaxed or diminished during his
term of office.
Section 75, session laws 1879, page
220, how iu force, is as follows on the
subject under consideration :
"The emoluments of no officer
"where election or appointments is
"required by this chapter shall be
"Increased or diminished during the
"term for which he shall have been
"elected or appointed."
Soveral hundred dollars of indebt
edness has been made this year in
the way of increasing salaries of
officers. Also it is going to cost the
city nearly two hundred dollars to
have Jier ordinances revised aud
printed iu pamphlet form. War
rants, will have to be used for these
matters, and if they are not paid, it
will be argued. that the honest and
very just indebtedness of our city
must be met, therefore refunding
bonds must be voted to redeem our
paper that has bopn issued contrary
to law. Would it not have been
more just and business like for that
body to apply the abovo amount to
wards paying off the old city debt?

Fatal Accident.
Sunday morning last, while Thos.
Lyons and wife, accompanied by
Mrs. Mary Manney, mother to Mrs.
Lyone, were coming to church, and
as thoy were passing a clump of
weeds near II. P. Coolidge's resi
dence, some animal, no one can tell
whether a dog or a calf, nor whose
it wa, jumped up in the weods and
frightened the team. Mr. Lyons is
a stout man and a good horseman,
but in this cafe it was impossible for
him to control his team, owing (it is
supposed mainly) to the fact that the
bit on one of the bridlos broke
probably on the first pull after tho
fright. The team dashed first one
way, then another; Mrs. Lyons
jumped out of the wagon, and was
slightly injured; Mr. Lyons and
Mrs. Manney were thrown out at
the same time the wagon-bed was
overturned. Mr. Lyons was consid
erably, though not fatally injured;
Mrs. Manney, however, was not so
"Habitual DrHHkard"
Ed. Journal: The new liquor
law makes it an offense punishable
by a fiue of ?50, "to sell any intox
icating liquors to any Indian, in
sane person or idiot, or habitual
drunkard." We have just been dis
puting a3 to what this latter term
means, and have concluded to let
you decide between us. Dad.
In all kinds of actions there are
degrees, ranging from very moder
ate to excessive. Drunkards, or
habitual drunkards are all on the
excessive side. There is nothing
cau justify drunkenness, even once,
but, evidently, such are not included
in the law. Those given to drunk
enness are habitual drunkards, and
a case in illustration can be named
easier than the phrase can be de
fined. We have an instance in mind
where a man could not begin drink
ing and stop short of drunkenness.
In our opinion, the law contemplates
that men in whom such a habit is
so Mrongly fixed, need to be pro
tected against the force of their own
evil habit, by the force of law,
against those privileged to sell in
toxicatiug drinks. Webster defines
habit as a disposition or condition
of the mind or body, a tondeucy or
aptitude for the performance of cer
