Schuyler is determined to have a
new Platte bridge. We notice bid?
are in for the work, offers ranging
from $19,000 to $21,G30. The Platte
river has been considerable expense
to the counties north of it, along its
course.
Any one interested can find at
this office a copy of the description

the cop'.
The Butler county Press reports
that a number of the "soiled doves'
lately here, have taken up their abode
"on a certain prominent corner on
the public square' of David City. To
Columbus, it is a "good riddance of
bad rubbish."
We believe that wilh the proper
effort put forth by her enterprising
capitalists, Nebraska can raise all the
sugar and syrup she needs for herself
and have a considerable amount be
sides for sale. See what Clarkson of
Schuyler says.

The police "pulled" one of the
houses of ill fame the other night,
taking therefrom several boys, who
make some rather queer revelations
as to others on hand who were not
arrested; also as to the persons who
habitually frequeut the place.
It may not be generally known,
but it is a fact that outside of the
regular passenger train the B. & M.
run an accommodation, so that trav
ellers can start from here at S:25 a.
m. or 2:55 p. m. standard time, which
is 24 minutes faster than city time.
An exchange reports the. follow
ing as difficult, but we suggest that
any one of the pupils of our high
school can solve it: "If you can buy
a window-glass SxlO for 4 cents, what
will be the size of one you can buy for
S cents, whose sides will be as S to 10?
C. S. Doty, special canvasser for

class office and photograph rooms. 2
Jacob Wagner's father, Mr. Robt.
Wagner of Ottawa, 111., will remove

plenty of room and welcome for all
good people.
Monday morning, on complaint
of policeman Clother, six of the scar
let women of the town were arrested
on charges of keeping a house of ill
fame or being an inmate of the same.
They had all concluded to pay their
fines except one, who yet lingered in
prison yesterday morning.
Justice Rickly informs us that
John Ellis, charged with stealing an

mer and some to Friedbof.
Friday evening last Miss Ada
Clark's sixteenth birthday was cele
brated at the resideuco of her parents
near the city. About twenty couples
were present, who enjoyed the festiv
ities of the evening. The worthy
young lady received a number of
beautiful and useful presents.
D. A. Lord returned Saturday
from a visit among friends at Roches
ter, New York. Like all other visit
ors to old homes, Mr. Lord can testi
fy to the bounteous hospitality of
friends, but there is an indescribable
charm about the Nebraska climate
that invariably attracts the traveller
home.
The Jocexal's facilities for print
ing wedding and party invitations or
wedding cards are very complete,
enabling us to turn out work of this
class that cannot fail to suit the most
fastidious. We keep a good assort
ment of the latest styles of this class
of stationery always on hand to se
lect from. tf
D. II. Wheeler, U. S. state statis
tical agent, reports to us the live
stock in Nebraska for 22 counties.
We give the totals, with the remark
that Platte county does not appear in
the list : sheep 192,009, hogs 290,92C,
horses 59,325, mules 12,059, milch cows
63,503, oxen and other cattle 197,13G.
The number o! sheep killed by dogs
was 565.
Wc understand that some of our
farmers are losing hogs, dying from
the effect of intestinal worms. Jno.
Freeman tells us that he has tried the
following specific, and finds it an
effective remedy : Dissolve a pound
can of concentrated lye in a barrel
two-thirds full of swill, feeding once
a day until ued. After waiting a
few days, if the hops become restless
again repeat the do?e.
TVm. Anderson ol Shcramento,
Neb., was burned to a cii-p on the
night of the 19th. He had been on a
protracted spree for about a week,
and slept in his store on a pile of
straw by the stove. 1st moral, don't
drink intoxicating liquor; 2d moral,
don't get drunk; 3d, if you will get
drunk, don't keep it up for a week;
4th moral, don't get drunk and lie
near a stove on a pile of combustibles.
Pieper's Mammoth Cncle Tom's
Cabin Co. are coming and will give
their entertainment, Tuesday even
ing, Feb. 5. They claim to be the
only company with the sanction and
endorsement of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, and to present the most realis
tic rendition of her great moral, thrill
ing and amusing story. The play
closes with an allegorical tableau,
representing Eva in heaven aud the
beautiful gates ajar.
John Staabof Leigh, was in town
yesterday on his returu home from a
business trip to Omaha. John looks
in good health, and reports matters
in his neighborhood as flourishing.
S. C. Ardley has purchased Enoch
Mayer's farm, and Borland & Co.,who
own a large ranche six miles north of
Leigh, have distributed considerable
money during the winter, in exchange
for corn and ponies. They are useful
men in the community.
This item will be interesting to
hunters, who go upon the waters for
their game. The Schuyler Herald
says: "Will McPherson has built a
boat of galvanized iron sides, and a
wooden bottom, covered with tin.
The boat is built in two sections,
which can be taken apart in a minute's
lime. Each part weighs about 40
pounds, and Will thinks he can get
around on the river now to any place
the geese dare lead him."
A young woman who came here
from Madison about six weeks ago,
and has been doing house work in
several places in the city, was deliv
ered of a child at the Sisters' Hospital
last Friday evening. She attributes
the paternity of the boy to a young
man near Madison. An action for
bastardy has been begun before Jus
tice Rickly, and on the affidavit of the
young woman, Lena Algaza, a war
raut was issued for Alex Altschuler,
charged with the paternity of the
child.
Other Nebraska towns likewise
have their troubles, and the press are
speaking out about them. The Fre
mont Herald calls upon the authori
ties to shut up the gambling dens and
low groggcries and the West Point
Hepublican discourses against the
open and shameless manner in which
business is carried on in that town on
Sunday, and the way places of
amusement are kept open. The Re
publican don't believe there is anoth
er town in Nebraska where there is
such a total disregard of Sunday.
The latest violation is the opening of
a roller skating rink on that day. It
is getting to that pass, says the He
publican, that we are kaown all over
the state as a community of Sabbath
breakers.
Somewhat encouraging. A stock
company has been formed at Norfolk
to endeavor to secure the location
there of the next Grand Army re
union. When they approached the
officers of the railroad companies,
pays the Iieics, they didu't receive
much encouragement from that
source. "There seems to have been,"
saya the Ifews, "an implied promise
on their part to favor Fremont or
Columbus, according to which got
the most votes."
The Independent of Grand Island,
praying for more light on the streets,
says: "In our opinion, the absence
of light at the crossing had as much
to do with the death of John Zum
brum as anything else and the res
ponsibility for the accident rests just
as heavily on our city for the neglect
of providing the same as it does upon
the railroad company for not having
a flagman." The wonder grows after
every dark night here, that some
fatality has not occurred at the cross
ing on Olive street.
A Fremont man has received and
accepted a leap-year proposal from a
young lady in Columbus, O, he re
plied, says the Tribune, and iu a very
nicely written epistle, setting forth
that they would have to live in a dug
out on a three-acre patch of Nebraska
soil and subsist on kisses, pork,
beans and kisses, and wound up with
a request for $100 which he sadly
needed to pay a "delinquent" board
bill. The young man is represented
as jubilant and anxious, the anxiety
probably arising from doubts con
cerning the remitance of the $100
prayed for.
Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City,
Fremont, Kearney, Grand Island,
Schuyler and Plattsmouth were rep
resented at the annual meeting ot the
Nebraska state firemen's association
and banquet Tuesday evening of last
week at Fremont. There were sev
eral interesting discussions of topics;
a vote of 29 to 16 was given in favor
of the hand engine as the best fire
apparatus for cities of the third class ;
unanimously decided that the chem
ical engine is a valuable auxiliary to
the fire department; the White An
chor hoe was the favorite and the
rack system of drying approved.
The commissioners of Saunders
county do a good thing in publishing
estimates for expenses of the ensuing
year, by giving fuller particulars than
usual, which is the kind of informa
tion tax-payers want. Each depart
ment is supposed to know about what
money will be required, and the com
missioners set it forth, as for instance
agricultural society $500, county phy
sician $300, district and justices courts
$5,000, jail expenses $1,500, county
commissioners $1,500, support of poor,
etc., etc. "Incidentals"' comes in for
a round sum, to be sure, but we think
that the people would prefer to know
a little more definitely than has gen
erallv been the custom.
Anton Bosch of Colfax county,
came to Schuyler, drank freely of
beer and whisky. He started home
with another young man. On the
road they drank more whisky and
diluted alcohol. Anton complained
of being sick, laid down in the
wagon, and his companion covered
him with bcdquilts, thinking there
was nothing the matter except (?)
that he wa3 a little "full." The Her
ald adds: "When they arrived at
Bosch's, about 10 o'clock, they put
him to bed, and before 3 o'clock in
the morning he was dead. Antou
was abont IS years old, and was
looked to as the support of the family,
the father having died about two
years ago."
Several of our exchanges (outside
of the counties where township or
ganization was adopted, however) are
making a little warfare on the system.
Better not do so, gentlemen. The
system is based upon the principle
that the people shonld take care ot
their own affairs, and while the first
attempt may not be entirely satisfac
tory, while some of the supervisors
may not be men noted, even in their
own townships, for good common
sense and disinterested public spirit,
or may vote for measures not condu
cive to the public welfare, and hide
their individual responsibility to their
constituents outside of an aye and
nay list, but these little tricks are in
cident to human nature, and cannot
be so readily played under the new
system as under the old. The people
will demand the record of ayes and
nays on all important bills and meas
ures, because they will want to know
each man's line of thought. This is
already true of the recent supervisors'
meeting here, and, although the ayes
and nays were taken on some of the
more important measures, they do
not appear upon the official record.
Of course, these little gaps can be
readily filled up, as attention is called
to them.

Bawdy H
As we have before said, houses of
ill-lame have no legal existence in the
state of Nebraska. In and of them
selves they are a nuisance and oucht
to be abated everywhere. Of course
the law and the officers sworn to ad
minister the laws must be looked to,
and these cannet hide their responsi
bility in a plea of laxity of public
opinion, of which there is not the
least shadow of a sign in the laws
themselves. Some of the friends of
this social corruption have claimed
that particular acts mast be proven in
order to secure conviction. We again
refer to a decision of our supreme
court, filed Oct. 12, 83, and reported
in the Northwestern Reporter of Nor.
10, '83, in which this phase of the sub
ject is fully discussed by Judge Lake,
to which those particularly interested
can refer. The points decided were :
"1. To authorize a conviction, under
sec. 210 of the criminal code, for per
mitting a house to be used as one of
ill-fame, or for purposes of prostitu
tion, it must be shown that the house
was of ill-fame in fact, or, in other
words, a house resorted to for pur
poses of prostitution; that the pris
oner was the owner or had control of
the house; and that he knowingly
permitted it to be occupied as a house
of ill-fame.
2 The bawdy character of the
house may be shown by its general
reputation and that of the persons
frequenting it, together with other
facts and circumstances which lead
satisfactorily to that conclusion. It is
not necessary to show particular acts
of prostitution."

Board of Trustees met last week ;
granted Jacob Steffis a license to sell
malt and vinous liquors. Joseph
Linabery was appointed marshal iu
place of A. Gabriel, resigned. The
proposition to build a jail was voted
down.
The quarterly meeting of the M. E.
church was held in the school bouse
commencing Saturday and ending
Sunday night. The people are in
earnest and the most excellent ser
mons preached by the presiding elder,
Rev. David Marquett, had we believe
the desired effect to arouse the people
to an earnest work of building a
church building and organizing a
church, to thus aid their work in pro
moting good, aud I hope soon to be
able to write we have a protestant
church here, and hope our town will
receive of its benefits not only by its
removal of its meetings from the
school house but that it will spread
its morals to the advancement of all
that is good. C.
Editor Journal : Pleasant winter
weather here now, but too much
snow to suit those who have corn still
in the field, and no doubt over one
third of the crop is still to be
gathered.
There is considerable sickness
around this winter, but mostly
measles. Miss Besse Paxton is
severely afflicted with them at the
present time.
Wonders will never cease in Ne
braska, and especially in Butler
county; one more of the genus
editor has made his maiden bow
from the City of David, and not
withstanding the dyspeptic howl of
nearly all the papers in the county,
the new-comer has not replied in
kind, but in its first issue, has come
to us clean, and pure in tone; and if
such is to be its highest aim, in the
future it will reap an abundant re
ward. Success we say to the David
City Tribune if it fulfills it first
promises in the hereafter. Dear
Joubxal, we now have only six
papers published in our county, with
a prospect in the near future of still
one more.
We have no saloon in our villlage,
but we do sometimes see an iron
clad guzzler fairly drunk, and we
sometimes wonder if it is really a
"physician's prescription," that pro
cures the needful.
Filteen cent corn, makes soft
pocket-books here at present.
Our supervisors appear to be doing
their work in such a manner as will
meet the cordial approval of their
constituents. So mote it be.

Editor Joubxal : There are so
many people who think the National
Banks are a divine institution that I
wish to say a few words in regard to
them.
1st. They do not loan money on
any belter terms than private banks.
2d. They are no safer to deposit
with than private banks.
3d. They are an expense to the
people, to the amount of interest they
draw upon their bonds, therefore let
the government repeal the national
banking law, redeem their circulation
with greenbacks and credit the same
upon their bonds, thereby saving the
interest on three hundred and fifty
two million dollars and by this means
keep the same amount in circulation
so as not to disturb the commercial
business of the country. All money
should be a full legal tender. Per
sons wishing to do a banking busi
ness should be compelled by law to
take out a license graded in propor
tion to amount required, and deposit
good and sufficient bonds to secure
depositors. Greenback.
