Becker. 43-3m Mr. Davidson of Milford was se riously injured by the wind 6torm of March 28, being blown from a build ing while endeavoring to replace a roof that was being torn away.

Smith, sent to the pen itentiary for killing a mau by tho name of Collins, reduced his sentence for ten years, by 2 years and 11 months of good time.

At the Council meeting Monday night, tho minutes were corrected to show that Nichol had been appointed for temporary duty as special police man and that Laughlin was appointed and confirmed as night policeman in stead of night watchman. Druggist's permit was granted to C. B. Still man and saloon license to R. Brandt. These are the days when mighty Nimrods shoulder their pop-guns and hie them to the nearest corn field, where they lie in wait for the goose to pass over. But the wary gooBe winketh to his neighbor and they pass by on the other side. Whereupon the hunter utters cuss words and re turns nnto his own habitation and the goose gorgeth himself upon the farm er's wheat field. Sti-omsburg Bepub. A dwelling house on Quincy street, belonging to Jos. Gross of Madisou, was bnrned down last Fri day night between 12 and 1 o'clock. InBured for $750. The house was un occupied, and the fire is generally thought to have been the work of an incendiary. Geo. Jenkinson had some fnrnitnre in the building, which was also insured. The firemen were out in foil force, and worked nobly, as nsnal. At the last meeting of the super visors, North offered a resolution that all county officers who have printing done at the expense of the county, shall have the work done by Higgins & Hensley, grounding the same upon two whereases, one of which sets forth that it was the understanding of the said Higgins & Hensley that they should have the job printing required for the county officers, such as legal blanks, letter heads, envelopes, etc. The recorded proceedings say that this resolution was unanimously car ried. It will now be in order for somebody to show what kind of an "understanding" this was, and the parties to the "understanding." The representative of the Journal insist ed, when proposals were asked for, that they include not only the publi cation of the proceedings and legal advertisements, bnt also such ' job work as is referred to in these reso lutions, bnt the Board then refused to inclnde such job work. How the Board can now endorse the claim of Higgins & Hensley that they under stood they were to do tho job work, on proposals where the Board refused flatly to even consider the question of job work, is one of those things that is hard to find out, except upon one theory, and we leave our Platte coun ty readers to infer what that theory is, which they can do as well as we can. When the Board asked for pro posals to do the newspaper work only, and refused to consider the job work, it was very natural to infer that they meant to have the job work bid on separately. There being throe job offices in the city, and only two newspapers, wo expected (?) to see more lively biddingfor the job work, but lo and behold I there was an "understanding," it seems. Suppose bids had been asked, for the construc tion of bridges, and some weeks alter the contract was let, the successful bidder should come and say, "It was my understanding that I should have the construction of all the culverts and all the grading, at 'reasonable' rates," there would be just as much propriety in letting him do the work, as there was in this matter of job work given without a bid, to the pro prietors of the Democrat. Since writing - txuove, we guess we have Iearuca the occasion of the introduction of the aforesaid resolu tion resting upon two whereases. We had received one small order for job work, viz., the printing of 200 envelopes 'for J. E. Moncrief, Co. Supt. of Schools, and we couldn't for the life of us bring ourselves to think that the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors had dropped onto so small & sparrow, and doubtless he didn't it was a slightly bigger bird. The order for printing the bar docket had been given to Myers & Smith, who run a job office here, aud one of the proprietors of the Democrat made so much ado concerning it that, all the job work of the county was not let at all on the plan of the lowest and best bidder, to save the' money of the county, but because they had been successful bidders on another line of work, and because of an alleged "un derstanding" that they were to have work that the Board refused to let to bids. Coaacil Proceediacs. The old Council having adjourned sine die, the new council was called to order by Mayor Macfarlaud, present, councilmen. Hays, Lockuer, North, Rickly, Ragatz and Whit moyer. Licenses to sell liquor were ordered issued to Wm. Bucher, P. J. Schmitz, P. Hoppen, W. A. Schroeder, V. A. Macken, Whitaker & From, Waudel & Mockby and P. Hays. Druggist's permits were ordered to Dowty & Chinn and A. Heintz. The appointment of C. Brindley as street overseer was Confirmed by the Council: M. E. Clother was elected chief of police. The appointment of P. Laflin as night watchman for south side of U. P. R. R. track, and James Nichols for north side were confirmed. Adjourned to meet April 7. O. H. Arche'r and I. J. Slattery have returned from a trip to Valen tine. When they arrived there laBt week, they found snow-in drifts four to ten feet deep. There are a great many people going into that country, and Mr. Archer thinks it probable that about all the tillable land in val leys between Valentine and the Black Hills will be taken up this season, so great is the greed for land. He thinks that the country is not good for corn, except perhaps the New York kind. There is one well in Valentine, and it ib 110 feet deep ; most of the water is drawn from a creek. Our two friends took a timber claim in the White river country, which is reported as having some oxcellent land. If you want anything in the way of painting, paper hanging or decor ating, leave orders at Geo. N. Derry's paint shop, where you will find the best and largest stock of wall paper and window shades in town. For reference as to quality of work in quire of J. W. Early, Louis Weaver or Dowty & Chinn, where he put up curtains in first-class style ; these were put up alone by Mr. Derry, aud as to bis reliability, everyone knows that he means what he says, every time. Give him a call In a letter to a friend in the city Dr. E. L. Siggins, formerly a resident here, buLnow of Pierre, writes, under date ofijfarch 29 : "We are all quite wellajpt.Jjke Dakota very much.

I am in favor of opening the me ridian line street trom Gerrard's addition to intersect with the county road runniug to the Loupe bridge for the following reasons : First, it will give us a R. R. crossing west of the tauk, on Quincy st., which is a very troublesome crossing; sccoud, we cannot work tho ditch at the city's expense, 60 long as it is not a street. Here is where the ditch sufferers can do some practical good by first get ting a street, then having a sewer made of the ditch. La9t, but not least, the openiug of this street would improve that part of the town so much that any owners of property abutting on said proposed street could well afford to give the right of way. Anti Ditch Sufferer. Hamphrey. F. M. Cookingham is on the sick list. Wm. Abbot has purchased a build ing lot and will build soon. Drebert & Briggle have their frame up for the. new bank building, 20x30. Mr. S. S. Briggs's father was in town last week, we hear, prospecting wit h the anticipation of startiug an other drug store at Humphrey. We can guarantee a live man in that busi ness three square meals at any rate. The first village election held at Humphrey resulted in but little oppo sition. A caucus was called Monday night, aud the old board was almost unanimously elected. One of its members, G. W. Clark, received every vote balloted. Our town meetings passed off very quietly ; not much more business done than the voting of a tax. of 8 mills in Granville for roads, bridges, poor fund, salaries, etc. ; about tho same number of mills was voted in Hum phrey, with an additional resolve that any member of its town board who shall not meet at any aunual or special meeting of said board shall be subject to a fine. C. RiNtas;. Editor Journal: News is so scarce in this part of Nebraska that it seems almost impossible to write any thing that will be of interest to the many readers of the Journal. We examined fruit buds a Tew days back of quite a number of apples and found them all right ; pears and Eng lish morello cherries too had not been injured by the severe cold weather, but the Early Richmond cherry buds were injured partially at least. There seems to be some doubt among farmers in this neighborhood as to what crops to plant this spring, but it will probably be all the corn and oats possible, but little wheat, not so much flax as last year, in fact corn will be the crop over all others the coming .season. Seed corn may be somewhat hard to find, but we be lieve there is no need of any farmer paying the extortionate price of one dollar per bushel for seed corn which is probably no better than he has in his own crib. We examined seven samples, "up for sale," a short time back, and certainly one-half would not grow. Let no farmer, at least, pay one dollar per bushel for seed until he, himself has tested its germi nating capabilities. Some property still changing hands. Business rather dull, and will be with corn fifteen to twenty-three cents per bushel. Renters generally getting moved to permanent summer quarters. Roads muddy at present, and ev erybody getting a good ready for a large summer's work. Mr. 22, '84.

Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Jouknal. Luke 14,tftf. How can we harmonize this declar ation of Christ with tho idea, that Christianity is Love? The letter killuth, the spirit maketh alive. St. Matthew reports Jesus as saying (chap. 10,-37) : "Ho that !oveth father or mother, &c, more thau mo, is uot worthy of me." Read the en tire 14th chapter of Luke. Ho had showed them, that acts of mercy were right ou the Sabbath day, even to the pulling of an ox out of tho pit. Next he had given them a lesson in humil ity, "Go and sit down in the lowest room." Then a lesson ou true benev olence: "Call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy rich neighbors to thy feast; but call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, tor they cannot recompense thee." Next comes the parable of the great supper, where he shows, how the kiud invi tations are rejected, some thinkiug more of their lands, othors of their oxen, aud btill others of their ivices thau they do ot the fea.-u. Theu i he narrator says, that great multitude went with him; but he turned and bait! to them: "If any mau unto not taihur and mother, &c , yea aud his owu lite also, he cannot be my disciple." Theu he adds two illustrations: If a mau wants to build, he will first count the cost; or, if declare war, he will first consider whether ho cau succeed, "so likewise, whosover he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, ho cannot bo my disciple ; ho that hath cars to hear, let him hear." Now in all this, it is plaiu, there lies the thought, that, to be a true follower of Christ, requires self-abue-gation. "Do you all waut to follow me," Christ says, "very well; but re member what that involves ; it is not such an easy matter as you seem to think ; I have healed the sick, ted the 5,000, and perhaps you think it is going to be all glory and triumph; but in this you are mistaken ; nay, there is first a cross to bear, a thorny path to tread, and your love to me must be so great that in comparison with it the natural lovo of kindred will seem aimo3t like hatred, as cau dlelight seems darkness iu the mid day sun." But the phrass "aud hi3 own life also" shows beyond all possible cavil how Jesus uses tho word hate iu this connection. Je us wants us to "hate" our lives iu a seuse, in order to suc ceed in saving them all the more pertectly. John Brown "hated" his wife aud childreu, yea his owu life also, iu countiug the cause of Freedom of greater value thau the prcseut worldly prosperity of himself and family. He might have had nicer times, lived longer and saved his fam ily many, many sorrows by a more selfish course. Yet I for one vote, that J. B. was a hero, and deserves credit for thus "hating" himself aud his kindred. It could easily be shown, that all that is good in the world to-day, we owe to men and women who "hated" self aud kindred rising thus from the lower plane of selfish love to the higher one of universal benevolence C.
