A man of observation says
that
fruit trees should be protected from
the south for two reasons: the great
est danger in summer time is the hot
afternoons, and it has been noticed
that the southwest quarter of the
trees bears strong evidence of injury ;
in winter time the greatest danger is
from the fine days in Jan. and Feb.
bringing the sap up earlier than is
best. It is claimed that on a northern
slope with a good wind break on the
south side, both these things could be
prevented.
The Loup river encroached on its
north bank, about 13S feet last sea

far north as Fourth street will do
well to look after it, especially in so
far as the payment of taxes is con
cerned. It may in the dim distant fu
ture, be valuable, when Columbus
becomes a city of magnificent pro
portions, and all the suburbs shall be
in demand. A man who held
atax-
a n
deed on such property was
notified-
last week of its redemption in 1880.
He didn't make any strenuous objec
tion to taking the redemption money
the lot is in the Loup, and will
perhaps remain there for the next
century, lees or more.

property, and the conviction of the
thief. It is to be hoped that the
Judge's property will be returned to
him. The pony is a spunky little rat

eler, for its size, in this region. It
was supposed Thursday that the thief
had struck southward.

it is difficult to procure workmen, ex
pert in it. Probably within a year,
we may be connected with the prin
cipal cities of the state. It is said
that the apparatus- has been so per

August Smith came near losing a
valuable horse by theft on Wednesday
night of last week, the same evening
that Judge Higgins's pony and buggy
wee stolen. Mr. Smith heard his
dog .bark about 11 o'clock in the night
and got np and went out to see what
was going ou. He had got about
half way to the stable, when he no
ticed that the door was open. Afraid
to go forward, he was also afraid to
go back. He never had any shooting
irons at all about Lis premises, and he
realized the fact that human life is
sometimes very insecure. He heard
the sound ot horses hoofs dying
away, aud mustering up a little cour
age, he retreated to the Iiouse, lit a
lantern and went to the stable, where
he found all his horses to be sure,
but one of them, his best, with baiter
strap untied and bridle on, just ready
for travel. There were other signs
of a thief, and that stable door has
since been provided with a cross-bar
and a good stout lock. If any one
wants a graphic description of this
affair, just let him call ou Mr. Smith.
By the way, it would be well enough
for the people of Platte county to Look
a little sharper after the punishment
of criminals, or tbey will be over
run by them. Our county has already
achieved a bad notoriety in this dir
ection, and will soon become a sort
of rendezvous for all grades and
shades of criminals, and their nec
essary companions and co- laborers.
Our juries are already proverbial for
their shortcomings in weighing the
evidence in criminal cases too lightly
in favor of justpuuisbment, and too
heavy in favor of all kinds of swin
dlers, cheats, rogues, thieves, etc. The
sooner this state of affairs is changed
the better will it be for all concerned.
Let Columbus aud Platte county have
such a reputation for punishing crime
that -all that abomlnab'e tribe of the
buniau race which wish to liye with
out work; which expect to prey upon
their fellows; which make their liv
ing by crooked ways, and bring dis
grace to themselves and the commun
ity in which they plunder, one and
all shall pass us by. Platte county
should be ready by this time to con
quer a peace of this sort.

We are-permitted to make a few
notes from a private letter written
under date of March 22d, at Denver,
by one of the young men who went
there recently to spy out the land :
"Denver is quite a town, but they
all say it is dull just now, and from
the number of idle men around town
I must say they are about right. I
met Pat. O'Toole on. the street yes
terday.' He talks as though he wo'd
lAnnin linnn llA nnttA nnnv AniAno

radishes, lettuce and other garden
truck here, but you can bet it costs
money to gel them. Three pieces of
celery about the 6ize of a lead pencil,
and 8elliug for 25 cts. will give you
some idea of prices. This country Is
all right, but it takes a millionaire to
liye here. A man can make about as
much in Neb., as he can here, and do
it easier. A man gets a job here that
may, last one day, and he can't tell
anything-about what is going to turn
up. As for mining, you may strike
it, but the chances are that you won't.
I have uot seen a town yet that will
come up to Columbus for business
and5 future prospects, aud if the U.
P. build a new depot there, and ex
tend one of their branch lines south
ward, Columbus may throw her cap
high in the air. Let all the boys
come west that want to, they will
come out at the little end of the horn
in the long run. If a man works iu a
miue. he -.makes about enough clear
money to keep him through the win
ter, and when spring comes again
starts just where he left off. Some,
of course, 6triko it, but they are
scarce."

Ed. Journal : This precinct iu
geueral, is assuming a lively appear
ance. Many of our farmers are
through seeding. A number intend
building, among them, L. H. Jewell
who intends building on his new
farm. We understand he will erect .a
fine residence, and barn, with feed
lots and sheds for the purpose of
stock raising. Mr. J. is one of the
go-ahead kind, and if he undertakes
anything he will carry it throngb.
He now owns one of the finest stock
farms in the vicinity.
Geo. C. Smith has bought the farm
formerly owned by Mr. Ennis, and
has already taken possession. We
are inclined to believe that George
will not live alone. He drives a team
of spirited horses in an easterly dir
ection very often, and we think he
means business.
Mr. Maynard of Illinois has bought
the Jas. Holmes farm, to which he
will move in the fall.
Mr. Dack has bought a farm from
L. H. Jewell ; he has built an addition
to the house, and made other im
provements, which add greatly to the
appearance of things.
Nebraska is fast improving, and
with such enterprising and busiuess
men as these will in time make it as a
6tate second to none in the Union.

Ed. Journal: Your invitation to
all those who are willing to contri
bute to the Journal, local news
deemed of interest to the public, we
in one case will try to respond to in a
brief manner.
In this neighborhood there is con
structed, and in course of construc
tion this spring the greatest amount
of improvements that this part of the
county has ever witnessed in any one
season, showing conclusively that the
people are in a thriviug condition.
Among these are the following. John
Groteluschen is ready to build a new
dwelling-house, 16x34, with kitchen
attached, 12x16; Gerhard Lusche, a
dwelling, 18x36, with kitchen ; John
Wise, a new front to his house, 16x28,
and has completed a granary and
wagon shed, 24x26. John Wurdeman
has enclosed a new barn, 26x30 ; John
Hake, a new barn 26x30; Orin Krey,
a barn 24x28 ; Dr. Heintr. a new house
completed ; F. Schaad, a new house
completed; Herman Bar hues, a
house; Henry Wilke, an addition to
house; John Miller a barn.
The German Reformed Society have
built a large and commodious par
sonage for the accommodation of
their minister, Mr. Fisher, late of
Chicago, a born American and a man
much esteemed by the society and
people at large.
The foregoing improvements are
withiu a circuit of three miles. I
could go on and enumerate many
more outside this circuit who are
ready to do likewise, but space for
bids. All hands are busy putting in spring
crops, of which there will be a good
ly amount. This vicinity believe in
mixed farming, and will plant of
wheat, oats, barley, flax and corn.
Stock consists of hogs, cattle and
horses, but few sheep.

Kavanaugh was advised of the mat
ter and immediately went to work in
a systematic way to capture the thief.
It was soon ascertained that he had
taken a southerly course, the first
trace being about four miles from the
city. From that they kept track of
the fugitive right along until the cap
tut e, which took place near York
Friday morning. His name is Job.
Brewer; he claims to be fifteen years
old, but his looks place him at eigh
teen. His relatives, we are informed,
live in Madison Co. He had been
at work here about two weeks for L.
D. Clark. Sheriff Kavauaugh is en
titled to great credit for his shrewd
ness and promptness in the manage
ment in this case.

Editor Journal, Sir: The fol
lowing resolution was passed at our
meeting of March 17th, and we send
it to you for publication :
"Whereas, we have heard that
negotiations are pending to relieve
the U. P. R. R. Co. from paying their
assessment of taxes,
Resolved, that this alliance disap
prove all such action, either as relates
to corporations or individuals."
Jko. Scudder, Pres't,
I. J. Nichols, Sec'y.
17. !.
Ed. Journal : Your last issue con
tains a communication from some
boy or young man, signed "Justice,"
who seta forth the decision of the U.
S. Court in relation to the U.,P. R.R.
land tax, and defies me to show aay
law that conflicts with these opin
ions. 1 desire to notice his remarks,
first, for ' the purpose of giving
him a little good advice; sec
oud, to ask him a few plain
questions of law to be tempered and,
explained by "Justice." First, if "Jus
tice" has the very mistaken idea that
he can and does make people and es
pecially the U. P. R. R. Co. believe
that he is a great, valuable and im
portant friend and protector of their
interests, by the use of such silly and
laborious effort used in this aud other
similar public matters, that he is in a
very grave error and that the sooner
he sees himself as others &ee him the
better it will be for him. Such gauzy,
transparent, silly stuff is ridiculous.
And now, in future, if he wishes to
reply to any person's views ou a pub
lic subject, do so like a man, and if
they are views that he canuot so treat
or do not merit his notice, pass them
by in silent contempt, thereby gaining
the respect of all true men.
Second, "Justice" says that he de
fies me to show any law or decision
of court that in any way conflicts with
the McShane case. I ask him if the
law requiring the homesteader to pay
tax on his claim after he has occupied
it five years, whether he has made
final proof or not, and when the gov
ernment gives him seven years to
perfect his title, does the decisions
conflict? By what process or manip
ulation does U. P, R.. R. land go
through, that makes it taxable the
moment it passes into the hands of au
actual settler? And again, if the Co.
can transfer their lands or any land
by mortgage, to other parties, what
kind of title or claim have tbey, to be
able to borrow money ou the same,
and by what law is the land-holder
exempt in our state from taxation ? If
such laws exist, tbey must conflict.
To deny that this condition of things
exists W-ould B-e a Dale too thin.
Not a Lawyer.
