Jordan P. 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. When Warden
Nobes asked him what he would take
for his good time, he replied there
was not wealth enough in the world
to buy it.
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

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.

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

P. Hoppen, W. A. Schroeder, V. A.
Macken, Whitaker & From, Waudel

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.

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.

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.

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

Iii this department the people talk, and
not the editor. 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
