The Journal has not heretofore
mentioned a decision of a.U. S. cir
cuit judge given recently to the effect
that if parties desired so to do they
could contract to pay attorney's fees
in the collection of a note. Our Ne

under the statute, and will probably

Major Wasson received a severe

which he was appointed to the army.
Capt. John Turner, of Savaaaah,
Ga., recently took into that .city a

which he caught on the beach at
Raccoon Keys, near Ossabaw Sound.
The female had just gone up on the
beach to deposite her eggs. The cap
tain searched and found her nest,
which contained 180 eggs. This is a
fair turtle story.
The Ohio legislature has forbid the
sale of toy pistols. The numerous
fatal cases of lock-jaw 'ceased by them
have been sufficient to call public
attention to the toy. The trouble is
that the pieces of the paper cap are

the tender hand and the pus or matter
produced travels in every direction
into the fingers aad op the arms.
The saloon keepers ia Ohio seem to
cheerfully submit to the decision of

beer constitutional, and at once com

will reach oyer $300,000. Some of the
saloon men display this kiad of cards :
'This is a law-abiding establishment."

At Lincoln the other day a number
of mortgago holders or money lenders
were cited to appear before the board
of equalization to show cause why
their assessments should not be raised
by the amount of the mortages held.
The Journal says that nearly every
man cited deposed that he was in
debt deep enough to offset his mort
gages aad leave a handsome balance.
Mayor Moore made complaint:
1. That all real property is assessed
at less than one-third its cash value.
2. That all personal property is as
sessed at less than one-fourth its cash
value.
3. That all merchandise is assessed
at one-seventh its cash value.
He, therefore, asked that citations
be issued to all owners of real and
personal property oa the assessment
rolls of Lancaster county, to cause
them to appear before the board of
equalization and show cause why
their assessment should not be raised.
The recent high waters have played
havoc with many of the railroads
southeast from this point Last
week the Omaha extension of the
Missouri Pacific was running only to
Hiawatha. It is badly washed north
of that poiet. The Atchison & Ne
braska has not run regular trains the
past week, and has suffered great
damage. The St. Joe & Western was
almost entirely destroyed for a dis
tance of sixty or seventy miles.
Hardly a single bridge or embank
ment is left. It Is estimated that the
damage to all roads centering into
Atchison, Kan., will reach half a mil
lion. Some of our Columbus citizens
were caught in the floods at St. Jo
seph, Mo., last week and could only
get out by a tight squeeze by the way
of Atchison, Kan., Hastings, Grand
Island, Neb., to Columbus, adding
several hundred miles travel to their
trip.
The Blue Valley Blade says of the
action of the county commissioners
of Lancaster in going through the
records for the purpose of finding out
who has money loaned on mortgages,
with the view of assessing their in
vestments for taxation: "This is a
step in the right direction, as vast
sums of money invested ia this way
escape taxation all over the state. If
our commissioners should go through
the records of Seward county they
could doubtless find thousands of
dollars that ought to be assessed for
taxation."
If other county records besides
Seward were examined thousands of
dollars might be found and legally
placed on the tax lists for taxation,
which if done, would make the taxes
more equal and just among those who
pay the largest portion of our taxes.
Commenting upon the recent ver
dict in the star route cases, the New
York Times takes back no word of
its charges. The Times remarks that
it "began the warfare upon this gang
of plunderers from a deep conviction
of public duty. It believed them to
be guilty. The proofs of their guilt
which it has unearthed are as con
clusive and irrefutable as the proofs
upon which it made its fight agaiust
the Tweed ring. It acquiesced in no
verdict save that which sent Tweed to
the Tombs." The Times will wel
come the opportuuity to do a public
service, given by a threatened libel
suit.
A little more attention than usual
has been called this year to the man
ner in which property is assessed, and
we think that Nebraska men will, be
fore another session of the legislature,
find some way for curing, or at least
attempting to cure the more flagrant
violations of natural justice now
found on our statute books. We have
been told that the laws of New Jersey
are the best in this respect of any in
the Union, and it might be well
enough for some one who has the
facilities to give the public light on
the subject.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee met at the Paxton Hotel in
Omaha, on the 28th ult., and fixed the
basis of representation as follows:
One delegate-at-large for each organ
ized county, and one delegate for each
150 votes and major fraction thereof
cast for E. P. Roggen for secretary of
state at the last general election.
This basis gives Platte county only 5
delegates. The committee fixed the
time and Lincoln the place for hold
ing the State Convention on Wednes
day, September 26th, '83.
Personal property has been as
sessed ia New York to the value of
$2,108,822,924 for the present year.
But when deductions were made un
der the swearing-off process allowed
by law only $195,000,000 was left on
which to levy a tax. In the same
time there has been an increase of
about $278,000,000 in the total assess
ment oa real estate. There must be
something defective in assessiag prop
erty in New York which her citizens
should remedy.
- Sixteen persons were drowned in
Pawnee county last week. The whole
country was flooded by a rise of the
Nemaha. There has been considera
ble damage to live stock, particularly
hogs; crops are injured somewhat,
aad a large quantity of corn ia crib
soaked and mined. The dsmage to
crops, stock, buildings, household
goods, railroads, etc., will amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars so
says the Omaha Republican.
The high waters and floods of last
week, including the waters of the
Platte, Missouri aad Mississippi and
their tributaries have visited untold
entering aad damage upon thousands
of families, driving them from their
homes naked and starviag, while their
crops are totally destroyed. Some
Tillages rendered uninhabitable and
their citizens tee for their lives.
These are actual cases of distress that
call forsympathy and help.
A Utile Descriptive SJcoBra
ptay. Friknd Journal:! am at present
with Col. N. B. Bisbec, the local sur
veyor, roaming over the vast water
shed that is tbc source of the main
Elkhorn, the south fork and the big
Cedar, the Beaver, Cache, etc; as
Swan, Willow, Cottonwood aud other
small lakes are virtually the reservoir
from which these copious streams de
rive their supplies, although the Bea
ver might be said to head in the
buffalo flats in Wheeler, but by 'close
observation I find that this chain of
lakes which divides the waters run
ning northwest from those running
southeast to be the real head of the
above mentioned streams. Grass and
water are here in abundance which
gives it the name of the stockman's
paradise, and I want to say from the
way stock is pouring in here the
ranchman believes in the name as he
is decidedly takiug advantage of the
opportunity now laid before him by a
generous government. Just imagine
how delightful it must be to the
grazier as he looks over the vast ex
panse till the drooping horizon shuts
out the view, to behold this great
tract of meadow waving before the
wind like an ocean under a light
breeze, which goes far to show that
this region will in the uear future
become conspicuous for its celebrated
beef, as its juicy steak is masticated
by the hungry millions of Europe aud
our eastern thoroughfares.
When I was bore last March I went
home by the way of Cache creek and
the Clearwater, and on tho head ut
the former stream there were only
four claims entered, and now there
are forty families in that neighbor
hood, and in the township 1 am in,
houses are going up so fast that a
persou tainted with the least supersti
tion might tbiuk that the magic wand
was brought into requisition, build
ings go up with Buch despatch ; here
you may throw yourself dowu on
your lair at night, aud imagine you
are an isolated being aud wake up in
the morning and behold three or four
shauties in sight, the result of only a
night's work. Don't talk any longer
of the industrious ant or the busy bee
that improves each shining hour, tor
here we have characters that improve
the hours that don't shine when the
sluggish ant is dreaming of his uouud
building on the morrow.
John M. Anderson of Humphrey,
Platte Co., was the first settler in this
township, and that was only one year
ago ou the 10th of May last, and now
he cau look around him and see his
neighborhood dotted with dwelliugs,
some of them frames of no ordinary
character; as to our artisans in this
immediate locality we have three sons
of Vulcan, two of them in full blast,
the green prairie the shop, and day
light the chimney; but small begin
nings have had great endings, and so
I hope it will be with these hardy
sons of toil; one shoemaker, three
carpenters, one bricklayer and plas
terer, two wig makers and hair dress
ers, both young ladies from Wiscon
sin, each of whom has entered three
hundred and twenty acres of choice
land, and have had erected thereon a
neat house; they intend starting a
store there in October. They seem
to be women of great nerve and
pluck, as one of them stood by
all the time during the erection
of their house aud superintended
the whole affair until it received the
last stroke of the brush. Frank Hart
was the architect and builder through
out. Mr. Fry is building and iutends
stocking the same with a general
assortment such as will supply the
demands of bis many customers in
this locality.
As I was perambulating over the
prairie last Sabbath, I was not a little
surprised in this region of hides and
horns to meet two of my old well
wishers from Platte in the persons of
J. F. Dineen and H. C. Carrig of
Lower Shell creek, two sterling young
men of promise who arrived in
O'Neill the day before they came out
here in the hope of taking up a cattle
ranch, and they succeeded, as each of
them located 320 acres of No. 1 hay
land near Cottonwood lake, sixteen
miles south of Atkinson. There are
plenty of antelope and deer in this
country; I had the pleasure while
here in company with my Lower
Shell creek friends to witness a chase
between an antelope and Ben Woods'
greyhounds : Warrior" and "Jowler ;"
the dogs started their game in the
sand-hills and ran him towards the
plains where we had a full view for
miles; the noble canines did their
level best and in about four mileB
from the starting point they over
hauled " auty" as he was running
across Spring branch, wbeu his seem
ingly victorious 'speed was somewhat
retarded I presume by the softness of
the ground where "Warrior," who
was in the advance a few paces, spraug
upon bis defenceless victim and seized
him by the haunch when "Jowler"
made one desperate spring into the
water and seized him by the throat ;
by this time a few of the horsemen
came up to the scene of action but
could not put their steeds into the
mire where the brave hounds and
noble antelope bad a fearful struggle
but at last the watchful harbinger of
the hills had to succumb to superior
force, and was soon a mangled corpse,
when Jeff Scott of lasso notoriety
threw a loop over his head aud soon
landed him on terra firma; at this
juncture there was great rejoicing,
it being the first test of greyhound
speed in these border?, though the
rejoicing was unbounded I felt some
what sorry as I gazed on the graceful
animal as he seemed to look at the
crowd with his lustrous and polished
glassy eyes and as bis muscle seemed
to quiver and his lips yet move, I
judged be was giving us all bis last
benediction, as if he were saying, "ah,
inhuman man, at your advance breath,
all nature seems to disappear," but
these thoughts were soon dispelled,
as it was soon understood that the
barbecue was to some oil' at Col.
Pri8hcc'g.
I forgot to stute thut while John
Diueon was getting supper one even
ing H. C. Carrig dug mo a splendid
well ; he didn't go quite 120 feet from
the surface, still he fouud the re
quired liquid.
I ant sorry that Diueeu, Carrig and
Jerry Shanahan were uot at the

both turfmen aud own dogs un par ai

O'Neill City, June 24. Michael
O'Laughlin was found dead in the
road this morning at 10 o'clock, four
miles north of town, with the warm
blood still flowing from a bullet hole
through his head. During thp month
of May he bad had some trouble with
one of his neighbors, whose stock had
been trespassing. On the morning of
May 30th an attempt was made to
rescue the stock from the possessiou
of O'Laugblin, who was holding them
for damages. He was on the alert,
however, and Bent a ball from a
needle gun through the heart of one
of the party named Ed. Gallagher,
killing him instantly. The others
fled. O'Laughlin came in aud gave
himself up to the sheriff and on exam
ination was hold before Judge Cleve
land, who bound bim over in the sum
of $1,000, which bond he gave. Gal
lagher's friends seemed dissatisfied
that he should be allowed to give
bond at all, although no evidence was
given iu except that which O'Laugb
lin aud his wife gave. This senti
ment, it seems, has resulted as above
stated. No clue as yet to the author
of the terrible crime.
Later. Jerry Fitzgeruld has been
arrested for the murder of O'Laugb
lin this morning. He is only a boy,
10 or IS years of age, and is probably
the wrong mau.
While the people of Butler county
are congratulating themselves upon
their escape from paying $75,000 of
railroad bonds with Interest on the
same for twenty years, the lawyers
who had a hand in the contest are
quarreling over claims for service.
We would be pleased if some one of
the numerous newspapers over there
would give the exact points in the
case that determined it in favor of
the county.
Those who wish to read sermons
by able preachers can find them in the
great Chicago Monday dailies. These
papers deserve the thanks of the great
reading public for their ability to
present them with such choice pro
ductions, and the probability is that
the congregation reached by the print
ed word will have greater influence
upon the progress of the race than the
spoken word to the listeners.
In the recent news from Vienna
much uneasiness is felt in diplomatic
and military circles by the continua
tion of Russia's policy of massing
troops on her southeastern border in
a position to move quickly aud easily
into the provinces of Asia Minor. A
dispatch from Odessa of a recent date
announces that the Russian military
forces there have been greatly in
creased. Foarth of Jvly.
Hurrah! hurrah! for the glorious Fourth,
Let's give full sway to joy and mirth;
Of pleasures let there be no dearth
On Independence day.
This Independence our fathers won,
Long live the name of Washington
Who led them on while tyrants run
And Freedom gained the day.
A hundred years since then' have passed
Our liberty we still hold fast;
Then to the winds let care be cast,
On this our natal day.
Our state was then a pathless wild,
Inhabited by the "forest child,"
Who o'er these plains to battle tiled,
A painted savage throng.
Their day is done, they've left the scene,
Nebraska's hills and valleys green
With flocks and herds of cattle teem,
Aud progress rules the day.
To all wh feel oppression's band
From every clime and cverv land
We offer all a friendly hand
And welcome to our thore.
Then all unite both old and young,
We'll run the race, and tire the gun.
And dance until grny morning's dawn,
To celebrate the day.
