The wager was that he could not cover the distance in 37 seconds. A gentleman in Denver writes to a friend in this city that there are just now a thousand vacant houses in that city. Mining interests, upon which many of the western towns mainly depend, are very dull at present. Dan.

Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Ad dress, M. K. Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf The Central City JTonpareil is authority for saying that a streak of lightning lately descended upou the machine furnishing illumination for Grand Island, and "was conveyed to all parts of the city, making a terrific crash and scaring the entire popula tion out of a year's growth. The machinery was damaged to such an extent that it will have to be replaced, and in the meantime our western neighbor will have to grope along in darkness." Last week, during the meeting of the county board of supervisors, a legal question came up on the presen tation of certain claims against the county for services rendered in the prosecution of misdemeanors. The questiou was submitted to the County Attorney, M. Whitmoyer, Esq., who gave his opinion in the matter in brief that there was no legal author ity for allowing these claims, they could be paid only out of a certain fuud, aud at present there was no money in such fund. Notwithstand ing the opinion of the attorney, the supervisors allowed the claims by oue of a majority. The matter was brought up afterwards by Messrs. J. P. Becker and R. H. nenry, aud the former action reversed. No one, so far as we know, questions the law as laid down by the County Attorney, and certainly there should be no other rule of action for an official ; the law is the precise and only meas uro of his authority, and it would 6eem that the Board should have been unanimous in rejecting the bills (according to the opiniou of their attorney), or they should have sought other legal light and followed it; otherwise, employing legal counsel has all the force of a farce, except the power to excite laughter. In conclu sion, we may say that 'there has been growing for years a deep conviction that Platte county taxes are high, much higher than they ought to be, and that there must come a halt in expeuees. Perhaps the little ripple last week may resale in good. Ieral. G. C. Lauck has gone on the hunt of a location. Philip Metz is visiting at Henry Uockenberger's.

Jenkins and family of Kalama zoo, Nebr., accompanied by Miss Carrie Lawson, came down Saturday to see their friends in this city. J. G. Routson returned last week from a trip into Kansas, where he went to see the various systems of water works in use. His investiga tions would make a very interesting chapter. Mrs. Geo. Hengler returned Satur day last from Dane county, Wis., where she bad been visiting friends, whom she had not seen in fourteen years. She describes the wind storm there the other day as very severe, uprooting large trees. Franz Henggler, an old and much respected citizen of Platte county, started Saturday for a summer's so journ in Switzerland, his native land. It is a. pretty long trip for a man of his age, 71 years, but he is hale and hearty, and looks equal to the task. Mr. Henggler has been thirty-one years in this country, twenty-six of which he has passed in Nebr. Hie many warm friends will wish him a safe journey. Coaacil Proceedings. Tuksday, July 7th.

A Sabbath School mass meeting will be held at 3 p. m., addressed by Rev. A. E. Rus sel and others.

Barns of Schuyler, will bold a dis trict quarterly meeting at the Gardner school-house, three miles west of Duncau, commencing Wednesday evening July 15th, and continuing till Sunday evening July 19th. Dr. Barns has been an active minister of the M. E. denomination for over forty years and has recently embraced the Adventist faith. He is a very in teresting speaker, and in company with Elder Cudney has held some very successful meetings at Albion the last few davs. J. D. Brewer on Thursday last placed the large elevator of Jseggi & Schuphach upon two flat cars, and, an engine being attached, it was suc cessfully moved to its new site north of the U. P. track, traveling a space of about half a mile. The sight of such a building on such a seemingly precarious fonudation, attracted the attention of the whole town. Notice Is hereby giveu that I will hold the Annual Teachers' Institute in the city of Columbus, beginning Monday, August 3d, and continuing two weeks. All teachers intending to teach in the county are expected and requested to attend. J. E. Moncrief, 9-x Connty Sept. . Mkell Creek Item. "War to the knife to all sunflow ers aud cockleburrs" .should be the motto of every farmer now. Mrs. Weudorf is building a good house, barn, etc., and Mr. Frank Scholles has got the brick Laying and plastering job. By the time the typo gets through with this, rye and barley harvesting will be in full blast. Mr. R. Lewis has his barley down 'now, July 10th. All crops look splendid. If now only prices will take a rise the country will be O. K. N. B. We don't wish for war, like the man who had 14 bush els of wheat to sell. The pic-nic of the German Sunday school of Metz, held in Mr. M. Bloe dorn's grove, wan well attended and enjoyed by all. No better place could be found than the old gentleman's grove, and no happier crowd be seen than .the one assembled there. Good singing, and music on the organ by Mrs. Wm. Bloedorn, contributed much to the pleasure of this first pic nic and made all wish that it would be only the first one of many to follow. The Journal's mention of Mr. Gomer Davis's death was altogether too short. He died after a lingering illness, of consumption, on the 25th of June. At his funeral a great num ber of sympathizing neighbors and friends assembled, over forty vehicles accompanying the remains to the grave. Several distressing little acci dents happened at the funeral. Gomer's sister Maggy faiuted away and so did Miss Annie Williams. More serious was what happened to Miss Erma Cotton, the school teacher of district 31. While descending from a wagon, her dress caught some how and she was thrown to the ground and broke her breast bone. Youth and a sound constitution how ever, got the victory aud she is all right again. Mr. Davis has been severely afflicted. Only a short time ago he lost his wife in such a sad way and now his oldest son has been called up higher. Let us hope that it will be all for the best. X. Y. Z. Friend, Nebr., Jaly 6, '85. En. Journal : As I am out ramb ling over this part of the state, I thought a few remarks in your valued paper would not be out of place. We left Columbus on the 30th of June by team. Crossing the rivers south of Columbus, we soon found ourselves in mud, sand and water. But finally by pulling, twisting and hauling we got through and were very much re lieved. On the road to Shelby farm crops are lookitig fine. Thence wo struck out for Stromsburg, where we were treated very kindly by ft tends and strang4-s. July lt v went to York, a good, prosperous town, but, as the boys a displajs a good deal of red tape. Before we got to busi ness, however, we moved forward on the 2d to Fairmont, our point of des tination, to attend the district re union of old soldiers. We were cor dially received. This is a good town. The people have a good deal of enter prise. On the 3d we moved up to the fair grounds where we remain until Saturday. The boys begin to roll in, also some of the Nebraska militia, although it rained most of the time. We spent a very enjoyable time at Exeter, a small place east eight miles ; it is a small village, neat, tasty and tidy. Arriving at Friend.it seems to take the cake in our estimation, so far. In the first place, we were so cordially "received, and in going around with some of fhe boys we find it one of the neatest, and cleanest and of course prosperous towns we have seen for a good while. The people are Americans, from all the eastern states, and I think the place is rightly named Friend, for here we find friends, good and true. We re main here to-day and eveuing and then on the 7th Btart for York. Rambler. Pintle Ceater llenu. Poland has fallen. Do not forget the dance Friday evening. July 17th. The new Methodist church is nearly completed ; services were held in it Suuday last. The postponed dance comes off Friday evening. The boys are doing everything in their power to make it a success. It would be well to remind the business meu ot this place that if they intend to get the village incorporated this fall they will save five hundred dollars by doing so before the first of September. The race between Henry Carrig's mare and W- Evans's horse came off at the Columbus race course, the mare winning easily. The result has been a disappointment to quite a number of our town folks. We regret to have to mention the death after a protracted and painful illness, of E. C. Powell, druggist of this place. Deceased was about forty-three years old and had been suffering from Bright's disease for a long time. He was attended by Hamilton Meade, M. D., of this place. It also becomes our painful doty to record the death of Joseph, the third son of Mr. John Considine, a bright and promising boy of six, who died Sunday morning the 12tb, after an illnees of only a few days. He was taken sick Thursday and died Sun day. The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community in their deep sorrow. T. Meaty to Lmm. Five years' time, on improved farms with at least one-fourth the acreage under cultivation, in turns represent ing one-third the fair value of the homestead. Correspondence solicit ed. Address, M. K. Tdrnm, 60-y Columbns, Neb. ftreexet Treat Peatville The people in this vicinity wit nessed a grand celebration on the Fourth in Wm. W. Arnold's grove. Speeches, music, dancing and sing ing were a piirt of the performance. Our anvils roared tremendously, while the kalithunipians shook the forest with their hideous yells. Our orators were John Walker of St. Bernard and W. H. Tedrow of Platte Center, both true patriots of the right stripe, and being well versed in the history of their country, they re kindled a smoldering ember in the bosom of some of their hearers, that will keep them warm until the na tional day comes round again, but the grandest of all sights was the lunch and lemonade department. Had old Epicurus been there it would have made his very teeth water to see the spreads that were laid out under the trees. I fail to ennumerate all the styles of pastry on hand, frosted and candied in the most coaxing manner imaginable. Your humble servant has dined in the best hotels and in the cabins of first-class Mississippi and lake steamers, but they all fall into insignificance when compared with the rich delicacies that were abundantly partaken of on this glor ious occasion. Fowl in profusion, from a turkey to a snipe. Just imagine, Mr. Editor, how a liberty loving man feels when he builds up qn such diet as the above and packs it down with lemonade and hard cider! Let me say to those who are interested in the inuer man on each recurring Fourth of July, haste to Postville, for here is certainly the pantry of Lookingglass township, and by the way George Hampton's lady is the first cook in these parts. When she prepares the spread and Geo. orders his guests to sit down by fifty's the scene is highly delightful and appreciated by the hungry mul titude. KALITHUMriAN. ftaadoat QacrleM Tor the Board ol' Supervisor. If the poor of the county are sup ported by the respective Townships where they belong, why is the sup port of the poor included in the 9 mill tax forcouuty purposes? Can the Board of Supervisors locate roads without conforming to the mode prescribed by law ? As the pay of assessors is fixed by law, how can the Board of Supervis ors reduce the same, especially when the services rendered are claimed under oath? If the assessors are guilty of perjury why not refer them to the District Attorney? If the general election officers are Township officers in the strict sense of the term, theu what are county officers ? If the Ihw expressly debate all citi zens who neglect to have their as-ess-meuts corrected by the town board from an appeal to the county board, where do the latter get their authority fur making such changes? If the Board of Supervisors (some months since) directed the road over seer of Lost Creek to remove the obstructions from the Columbus and Genoa road (the only public road from the we-t end "to Columbus) why is It that these obstructions still re main ? If these methods of doing business are intended as part of a conspiracy to bring Township Organization into disrepute, then we would like to know A Citizen. IVloaroe. Anion Hoops is quite HI of Mr. typhoid fever. Mrs. L. B. Wright is visiting friends in the neighborhood. Considerable surveying is being done in this vicinity. Farmers are cutting rye, which is reuerally a good crop this year. Mrs. Wm. Sutton will give a party this evening; a pleasant time is anticipated. The fchool in Dist. 39, taught by Mrs. Southard, will close with a pic nic fhe 18 tb. A cordial invitation is extended to all. Mrs. Southard iBan experienced teacher, and has given satisfaction to all. The Fourth passed off very pleas antly, notwithstanding the threatened rain. The pic-nic given by the Meth odist Sunday school was a very en joyable aflair. A bountiful dinner was served, followed by an abund ance ot lemonade, candy, ice cream, &c, recitations and music by the scholars, addresses by Mr. Gearbart, pafetor, S. C. Osborn and others.
