The Scaayler Herald makes the
charge that "yeueg, incompetent and
immoral teachers" have beea licensed
to teach ia the schools of. Colfax
couaty. The County Superintendent
called upon the Herald editors to be
specific, aadjaame those who were
incompetent, immoral or too young;
this they refuse to do, alleging that it
woald involve them in trouble.
The mother of Miss Minnie Dish
ner was in the city Saturday last
Dec 5tb, and told ns that her daugh

Dec. 7, was the sixth week or forty
second day of her "sleep." A lady
of ocr acquaintance, a former resi
dent of Illinois, says that she knew of
a young woman in that state who
slept seven weeks and returned to
consciousness all right, her affliction
coming from tbe same cause as Miss
Disbner's is supposed to come.
The wind Friday was boisterous,
wild, strong and narnly, ot course.
It is wonderfni how many things,
seemingly solid, will give way before
a little air set in motion. The smoke
stack at the Columbus Mill went
down, breaking into three pieces;
numerous small houses, some signs,
some weak fences, &c., went down
before the wind; a stick of timber
from Hughs's lumber yard blew
through the west wall of the Metho
dist church, at the side of a window ;
tbe wheel of the wind mill at the U.
P. depot was destroyed.
Some unknown friend at Salt
Lake has kindly sent tu copies of tbe

From these (Mormon) papers, it ap
pears that last Saturday night week
Deputy Marshal Collius shot Joseph
McMurrin, Collins claiming that he
was attacked by four men who tried
to assassinate him, and that he shot
in self-defence. Marshal Ireland
took Collins under his protection,
and at latest accounts, so far as these
papers go, he was still under the pro
tection of the marshal and hid away
from tbe local authorities.
The first train to reach the new
townsite of Buffalo Gap arrived on
the 27th. The sale of town lots began
at 11 o'clock, resulting in the sale of
fifty-four lots at an aggregate amount
of 1x7,000. Lota brought as high as
$1760. Ninety men are at work com
pleting the track aad preparing to
open the road for traffic. Moving
from the old town to tbe new is in
progress. An excursion train, with
fifty railroad officials and others,
arrived at noon. Among the number
was Engineer Ainswortb, of the Fre
mont, Elkhorn k Missouri Valley
road. Shortly thereafter the cere
mony of driving the tin spike was
performed, amid much enthusiasm.

Joseph Bucher showed us one
day last week what was left of tbe
gun barrel which was tho cause of
the loss of John Gillan'e hand. About
six inches of the under part of tbe
barrel at the breech was blown out
and not fonnd. The lock was blown
off but found. Forepart of stock
blown into slivers. His hand must
have rested on the part of the barrel
blown off, just at the paint where the
whole charge came ont. It appears
that no part of the charge came out
at the muzzle of the gon. Mr. Gillan
is now at St. Mary's hospital in this
city and reported getting along very
well. Mr. Bucher says that he is
about 30 years old, a single man and
has been in this country about two
years and ia Mr. Bncher's employ
about sixteen months and was one of
tbe best men he ever had in his em
ploy. It was reported here Saturday
evening that Mormon policemen at
Salt Lake .had inveigled the U. S.
Marshal into a house aad then rid
dled him with bullets ; that within an
hour after the news had reached
Washington, troops were enroote tp
Salt Lake from Cheyeaae and Omaha.
Certaia it was that soldiers were
going west, but the dailies of Sunday
gave no confirmation of the rumors.
All good citizens will nnite in sus
taining the president in enforcing the
laws, if aeed be wkh the whole
power of the government. Wherever
the civil authorities are inadequate
for the preservation of the public
peace, dist arbors oagat to have a
touch of military rale. Only aa a last
resort, .of course, -bat protection to
the rights of citizens nnder the laws
of tbe land, should be swift, sure and
ample, and if that protection cannot
be accorded peaceably, it aaoald be
aecared by- farce. To be a citizen of
tbe United States, should mean a good
deal. To be aa aalear of the Uaited

The Millet IMTorce Salt.
The Denver Tribune-Sepubh'can of
Dec. 1st has tho following paragraph
concerning a case in which one of our
old citizens is interested :
Byron Millet has filed an affidavit
in the superior court, where his wife,
Mary E., is suing for a divorce and
alimony that puts the plaintiff in a bad
light. He says he was cajoled by
plaintiff into marriage, by her repre
senting that she was virtuous, and
that her alleged illegitimate ehild was
her younger sister, whose father was
now dead ; that shortly after their re
moval from Omaha to Denver, his
wife's mother, sister, brother and the
alleged illegitimate child came to
Denver and squatted in his Campa
street house so that he had to leave
it; he then believing that plaintiff, in
connection with her mother's family,
intended to get rid of him by fonl
means for the purpose of getting his
property ; that the plaintiff and family
and alleged illegitimate child are still
living upon and enjoying his premi
ses and property ; and tbe affiant be
lieves that the only object plaintiff
had in marrying him was to defraud
and blackmail him out of his property
and compel him to support her said
family. This tbe affiant oners to
prove by sufficient evidence, and,
therefore, prays the court may allow
him to amend his cross-complaint in
that regard, for tbe purpose of show
ing fraud to annul said marriage.

Messrs. Jaeggi & Schupbach have
leased from tho Columbus Water
works and Light Co. the privilege of
putting up and operating an electric
light, and have now (or rather had
Monday morning) a subscription of
thirty-four for lights, at $5 a month.
With their own use of tw&nty lights,
this will make it necessary for them
to purchase a fifty-light plant. They
bavo spent considerable timo work
ing up this project thus far, and don't
feel incliued to take any more time,
as their private business needs all
their attention. Tbe machinery will
be ordered next Saturday. If there
are any more who wish to subscribo
they should make it known im
mediately. If there are 100 sub
scribers, all told, (fitly more than
tbey already have) tbe expense will
be lowered to each one from $5.00 a
month to $3.00. Tbe system they
will use is the best approved, and
gives a stead, strong light.
Council Proceedings.
The committee authorized to in
quire into tho feasibility of water
works reported that the city would
need about $25,000 for the purpose of
erecting such works as would give
satisfaction. Tbe matter was dis
cussed at considerable length, and it
was determined that if there Beemed
a likelihood that bonds could be voted
for that sum, the council would move
in tbe matter. In this case it is de
sired that tbe tax-payers of the city
express their wish by petition, which
should be done this week, as the
council will meet next Saturday for
the special purpose of acting upon
this subject. It is tbe intention of
tbe council that the contract be let to
tbe lowest bidder, not excluding
anybody.

The wind storm at this place on
Friday was most terrific, everything

his stable, and when he got up next
morning low and behold his barn was
blown away, and the broncho gone.

Beautiful weather on Shell creek,
perhaps at a few small places around
this grand center of the world, the

it by getting their corn busked in

waiting lor tho follow to come along
who will do it for nothing aud board
himself and make them a present for
tbe privilege. Both the slothful and
tbe stingy ones who are behind after
much long continued fine weather
will not earn tbe good will of their
neighbors who on such fellows
account will have to herd their stock
all winter and keep their children
from school and freeze their noses
and ears and feet. They, forget that
a good neighbor near by is much
better than a brother far away.

Platte Center, Dec. 8, '85.
Editor Journal: The storm of
tbe night and moruing of the 3d,
caused much loss of property and
damages both in town and country.
In our little burg signs, awnings,
stables and out houses were levelled
with the ground. In the country 1
learned that a Polander named Pap
roski, caused a straw stack to be
burned jnst previous to the storm and
not seeing to its ignition and extin
guishing caused tho prairie to become
ignited and the fire spread for miles
causing Iobs to Mr. Barnage, Dr. Wm.
Edwards and others, for which he
will be prosecuted.
Our church festival was a success.
Yours truly,.
W. Edwards.
