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.

than .the one assembled there. Good
singing, and music on the organ by

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.

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.

The race between Henry Carrig's

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.

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.

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
