Price, Welch and Kehoe made a trip recently through Nebras ka, visiting several of the best mills, with a view to profit by any sugges tions in the construction of the pro-, posed new mill at Platte Center. Miss Millie Hailing was some what surprised last Wednesday even ing by a number of her young lady and gentlemen rrieaaa calling m a body without any notice. The party got up a good supper, had a nice social 'time, sad called it a surprise party. Ex-Senator Tipton has a national reputation as an interesting speaker and his lectures to be given next Fri day and Saturday evening are said to be in his best vein. For once in a while the intelligent people of Colum bus should give a good lecturer a good audience. At present, and during the past week, this locality has experienced what may be called first-class winter weather. Snow from 3 to 4 laches deep, with a little more falling to-day (Monday), and during the time men tioned it has beci cold enough to be right healthful. Fremont, says the Merald, has fifteen fallen angels to be fed, clothed and housed. Eecently four keepers of houses with their inmates were brought up before the police comrt and fined ten dollars each. The Htr ald says that one. of the houses thus illegally occupied is owaad by ome of the policemen of the city. A correspondent of the Schuyler Herald speaks in high terms of praise of the work accomplished by Mr. Elmer Sheets as teacher in DkL So. IS, Colfax county. Besides the day achaol, he has encourged the organi zation of a singiHg school, aad a liter ary society, which latter is said to be a Try excellent tasUtatio. The JontSAis facilities for print ing wedding aad 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 The Maennerchor gave Bobert Uhlif a fine serenade Meade? even ing at his residence. Bobert has maay warm friends among the people here who are sorry to see him leave, and we can assure the citizens of Miaden, to which place he is about to remove, that he is a valuable acquisi tion to their business and social circles. It would now be pertinent for the County Supervisors to request the opinion of county attorney Hoggins on the subject of fee-books, the keep ing of the same, and the reports re quired by law to be made ; also, if it is too late for the county to collect trom ex-county officials or their bondsmen; likewise, where no fee book was kept, how it is now possible to ascertain the amounts properly due the ceunty. The following notice got side tracked somewhere, but it is not yet too late for the Jocrnm-L. to extend its heartiestxoagratulations to the happy couple, aad to wish them a prosper on? voyage oyer life's broad sea. Married, at the Tesidence of the bride's parents at Genoa, Jan. 17th, bv Elder St. Clair of Albion, Casper Whipple of Albion and Miss LJ77?e W. Jones. The bride received quite a number of handsome and valuable presents. The Tribune remarks that two of Fremont's bawdy houses have been closed up and the inmates "flown." A new ordinance also passed, increas ing: the fine, will, it is supposed, do good. There is no good in idle enact ments, they are like dogs that will not bite. Unless there is determina tion and perseverence in the executive authority, ordinances are worth noth ing more than the paper on which they are written, except as an indica tion of a general public sentiment. The state law against houses of ill-fame and prostitution has always been strong, and now that we have a city ordinance that has the right sort of a ring, let the people demand of the executive of the city that the laws be enforced, promptly, effectively, without fear or favor, and in the in terest of public decency and good morals. No man should be particu larly ambitious to hold ofiice, but when he does do so, he should be particularly ambitious and desirous to faithfully discharge the duties of his ofiice. A. M. Winslows Sons of this city have recently sold to J. W. Coulter, of Hastings, Neb., bull calf Scotch man's Lad, calved Feb. 4, 1SS3, by Baron Alaska 37533, out of Scotsman Lady by imp. Scotsman (27425j, price $150. To S. C. Gray, of Arlington, 111., for his farm near this city two young bulls, Earl of WTIderberg by 3d Earl of Grass Hill 2303S, out of 2d Lady Valentine of Glen wood by Ma jurka Duke 14899, and Napoleon 2d by Monarch 39394, out of Annette's Pride by Favorite 32607, price of the two $350. The state law in regard to liquor licenses requires that the notice of application be published in the news paper having the largest circulation in the county ; the publisher's affida vit, heretofore, has always contained such an averment ; the cost of pub lishing such notice is paid, not by the coanty or by the city, but by the peti tioner, and he should see to it that the validity of his license is not jeopar dized to suit the exigencies of any newspaper. If officials are to be allowed to construe away the plainest provisions of law, there will hereafter be no particular necessity in going to the expense of making laws. Maaaaarey. Snow, snow, beautiful snow. Mr. C. D. Murphy was suddenly called away to Michigan to see his father who was lying seriously ill, but at last account he was doing better. The grand hop was a success at Niels Pederson's Friday night ; there was a good lively company gath ered and that they had a good lively time is the verdict of those attending. There has been a general overhaul ing at the post-office and bank. Mr. D. J. Drebert resigned in favor of his brother-in-law W. H. Springer, who has been appointed postmaster here. Messrs. Drebert & Briggle will have more time to attend their banking business is the reason aseigned fortae change in postmasters. Leap year parties are being fre quently held in this vicinity and peo ple need not be seriously alarmed if they do hear the old song XI wont go home till morning until daylight doth appear) sung in feminine voices, three or foar o'clock a. m, after see ing their dear ones home from the parties and bid them to be careful of their health, etc C.

Thursday evening, Feb. 7th, at the Clother House in this city in the presence of a large concourse of friends, Miss Emma Anderson was joined in the holy bonds of matrimo- i ny to Mr. Will S. Cook- They were made one under the beautiful aad impressive ceremeny of the Episcopal church, Bev. Goodale officiating. The young couple thas launched for a life's voyage o'er the great sea of mat rimony will hare the beet wishes of many friends, who will hope that the voyage will be all fair skies and smooth sailing. Miss Anderson,the youngest daugh ter of our well known townsman, D. Anderson, has resided in Columbus with her parents since she was a little girl, and is literally a western wo man, having been born in the county. She is a lady whom to know is to respect, and can number as warm friends, all with whom she was so cially related. Mr. Cook is from Kearney, this state, formerly employed by the U. P. at this point, and is now holding a responsible position under that com pany, and we learn is a young man in every way worthy the bride he has won. After congratulations and a boun tiful supper prepared by mine host of the Clother House, the Columbus Cornet Band discoursed some en chanting music, and escorted by a large numher of their friends, the happy couple repaired to the depot at half-past eleven and took the Denver train for their future home at Kearney. The following were in attendance : Mr. and Mrs. Meagher, Mr. and Mrs. Bagatz, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Stillman, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Hoehen, Mr. and Mrs. Stump,Mr. and Mrs. Basmussen, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, Mr. and Mrs. Hockenberger, Mr. and Mrs. Jaeggi, Mr. and Mrs. Early, Mr. and Mrs. Boettscher, Mr. and Mrs. Schupbach, Mr. and Mrs. Zipher, Mr. and Mrs Chogett, of Schuyler, Mr. and Mrs. Booth, of Schuyler, Mrs. Keen, of Omaha, Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Zockelt, Misses Becher, Smith, Sten ger, Turner, Basmussen, Coalter, Da vis, Benn, Keen, of Omaha.

County alliance met at the Hum phrey House Feb. 2d, according to call. J. S. Freeman was elected chairman and IN. Olson secretary.

The Fee Now that Platte county is ander the government of aboard of eighteen supervisors, several of whom are known all over the county for hon esty and capacity in affairs, the tax payers may reasonably look to them to stop all leakages trom the treasury, not by cutting down just bills aad honest, fair claims against the county, but by providing against the presen tation of bills not authorized by law. The onlyaafe course for officials to pursue is strict compliance with law. The present board can if they will take hold of this subject with some show of success. If an official is en titled, under the law, to. $1,000 or IL50O salary, give it to him, but if the county is entitled to receive all the fees above that sum, let it be firmly given forth by this board, that those surplus fees must be paid into the treasury. If the receipts of an office are not great, there certainly can. be no great necessity for clerks, more or less. If the receipts are as small as the legal salary, no assistants or dep uties are needed. The Jocesal, upon due reflection, is satisfied that many reforms in county matters can be effected by beginning with the keep ing of the fee book, as required by law, and it asks the Board of Supervi sors, the county legislature, to look at this matter candidly, fairly, freely, with reference to their own duty and the needs of the county, and not listen to the plaintive petitions of those officials, whoever they may be, who ask for or take what does not belong to them. Do with the public servant precisely the same as you would with one of your own employes pay him what you have agreed upon. Your office is a public trust, to be exercised by you, not in favor of A., B. and C-, who happen to hold office, but impar tially, without fear or favor, accord ing to law, and certainly without det riment to the interests of the people whom you represent Is this not true? Then why be slow in demand ing a report of fees, and placing your selves upon the record on this all-important question ? If some one was managing your private business on a salary, you would see to it before many days of sales, that he turned over to you the cash received and there is exactly the same sort of reas on for what we are now urging. Your body is so constituted by law, as to members and responsibility to your immediate constituency, that you are reasonably independent or disturbing in fluences in other words ' you can readily enforce the law, and i your constituency have some reason ' to hope that vou xcul do so, and thus I measurably reduce the large debt of! the county, and lighten the load of . i those who try to pay their taxes. A Pu4iBcr AaTfclr. Me.Editoe :-I wish to give you an account of a transaction which occur- ed in our usually quiet town on Sat- nrday evening, Feb. 2d. Inasmuch as -voar "P11" correspondent was not the g it mav peraap.s be better' explained by myself. From the fact that I was torced to be there and : take a not unpleasant part in the pro ceedings and not against my wish or will, I may claim to be pretty well qualified to represent the case to you and a sympathizing public. The facts in the case are these. While the Presbyterian minister and his wife were quietly and peacefully chatting i by their own fire-side in the new par- i sonage, with a certain good Metho dist brother (who turned out in this case to be a genuine "decoy duck") their premises were beset by, and taken possession of by a conglomerate mass of humanity made up of old me ana mothers, young men and uiuucu!, uuvs iuu ui-. auu it yuu believe it a half grown regiment of genuine babies, all of whom (except the babies), commenced to pound the minister and his family in a most un ceremonious and truly delightful manner. But the weapons ased in uiu usiiciic nuiuc uuuu iui: . n t a afTrr.ac?i1Ta ...&.. ....s.. .Vi. peaceful family were as diversified as they were delightful. There were pounds of sugar, and pounds of coffee, and pounds of rice, and pounds of starch, well there were pound and pounds almost to the end of the sro- ceryman's catalogue. One little Tod- dlekins who could hardly speak plain came armed with a bis cut of fat pork, to mollify withal the wounds ; of the minister's wife perhaps. Then i there was beef in many pounds and ' pounds upon pounds of cabbage and potatoes of the finest quality, and cans of all sorts, and well, just please imagine the lest. Then there was a good time, and then a peaceful leave taking with many kindly good nights and then there was left a very happy and much encouraged ministers fam ily, feeling that they had a good many kind and appreciative friends in Humphrey, and praying the best of Heaven's blessings to rest upon them and also upon the whole community.

How general is the sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Bivet in their bereavement was clearly shown by the fact that about forty teams accompanied the corpse of Miss Sarah to its last resting-place in the Catholic cemetery bv the church on Upper Shell creek.

It- is falsely assumed that a happy childhood can -be gained by allowing the child its own sweet will, whereas its happiness can only be secured by rational control of its impulses and caprices. The essential lesson of childhood is obedience. Thi3 is the only basis upon which a worthy char acter can be built. Our earnest exhortation to every teacher is "Govern the school. Se cure obedience to its law3." Tyranny is better than anarchy. A hard and unsympathetic control is better than no control. Those whose childhood was subjected to hard and unreason able exactions, may deprecate the needless severity, but they are grate- ful for the habits which that rigid discipline compelled them to form.

It is right tor attorneys to drawout all the fact3 necessary for the justification of their clients, when it can be done without insulting common decency. But it is not justly the province of counsel to resort to ungentiemanly and uncouth interrogations to establish a fact, when it could be elicited by other means. The plaintiff in the case, a young woman, inexperienced, weak in body and. mind, subjected to such inhuman treatment, compelled to sit there day after day and be insulted by improper and vulgar questioning by the counsel for the defense on the cross-examination and the sneerinz and jeering of a few sensual and un principled specimens of humanity, who we presume call themselves yaung bloods of Madison, was un doubtedly a gross imposition and in excusable.

HARDWARE & TINWARE, C. D. BARLOWS, a man whose very look to a casual observer, indicates guilt, whose ex pression and general bearing is a good index to a heart and conscience already scared, by the worst of crimes. For it would have been more honora ble to have murdered the woman than to take advantage of her weak Hand edness and ignorance and thus bring her into disgracelandillrepute, rob bing her of her good name which can not bereplaced with the wealth of a Caesar. Force of circum stances compelled her tohemain at her uncle's house for a time and while there, she became the victim of seduc tion by the defendant in his own fath er's house. And when time began to develop matters she was compelled to seek a home elsewhere. Thrown among strangers to bear her shame and disgrace alone. Had her uncle been a man, he would have befriend ed her; but no, in this trying ordeal the poor girl could not go to those who should have protected her but bad to cast herself upon the mercies of the public for help and sympathy in the trying hour. Who knows the anguish of soul suffered by that young mother, without money or friends, with the stern reality of life staring her in the face ! And in view of this, do the people of Columbus propose to stand aloof and see this poor woman suffer this injustice without resenting it? Are they going to allow this man, who ruined her, blighted her prospect for future happiness, and disgraced her for all time, I repeat it, are they going to allow him to go free and unpunished, and see a weak creature driven into a life of shame and degredation? Contemplate if you can the enormity of the fiendish scheming of the defendant and his counsel, endeavoring to baffie justice, hoodwink the court, intimidate and confuse the plaintiff and above all, to fasten the stigma of prostitution upon ' this woman and thereby secure the acquittal of the defendant. But the keen eye of the law discerned the infamy of their crafty cunning and put a stop to their damnable plot. The justice deserves to be commended for his impartiality and the prompt ness of his action. It might be well to mention the gentlemanly bearing of the counsel for the plaintiff toward their client and their respectful atten tion to her, endeavoring to restrain the opposing counsel from indecent usuSc iu u f - . ladies of Columbus and vicinity, it is language in her presence. To the to be hoped that on the day of trial in the District Court you will be present i in the court room and show by your presence that you have not forsaken a sister who has fallen by the way, but are willing to hold up her hands and encourage her. I could hardly be- lieve that anv one could be so lost to a sense of duty as not to feel it was ' humane to aid one who fell from the ' path of virtue. Humanity demands j it.
