His Honor, Judge Hudson, has been doing quite a business in the license fine. We can assure those interested that he also ties the knot with neatness and dispatch "cheap as the cheapest and good as the best," if we may be al lowed so to speak. It may interest many of our readers who read the beautiful lines of Mrs. Finch's poem last week in the Jour nal, to know that the horse spoken of knelt down that the disabled lad might mount. Young Smith is at work at the depot, at Bell wood, and assures oar re porter that with the incident above Mtisd, ffc facta are faithfully praaaoted.

Flynn had a case in court de cided is his favor last week, which has been on the legal hook for the past seven years. Notwithstanding the fact of a verdict in his favor he is not at all confident that he will not have to con tend seven years longer, or even die fighting. The County Superintendent has been busy making out a list of the assessed valuations of property in each school district in the county, which will be forwarded to each director before the annual meeting. This will be an ac commodation to the directors and should be appreciated, as the tasc is no small one. Knee and Hatfield went out Mon day morning to hunt for ducks a good day, they say, for ducks, because they fly low, but they returned, after fonr hours in the driving snow, without a duck, good, bad or indifferent. The ex ercise was, of course, healthful, but Hat field said he stood ready to kill any man that asked how many ducks they got. John Eisenman, J. Tschudin and Chris Meedel were down from Duncan yesterday on business. John has not yet recovered from a run-a-way he had about ten days ago in which he was dragged about twenty rods and had a rib broken before he let go the lines. He says it is easy enough to talk afterwards, but at the time he didn't think about his life at all. J. R. Smith & Sons, of Oconee are determined to improve their stock of all kinds. W. L. passed through the city Friday with a fine-looking, dappled-gray, imported Percheron horse, purchased of the Importing Draft Horse Company of Lincoln. The animal is a splendid looking specimen, and weighs 1,900 pounds. He is recorded in the stud book of France and of the United States. E. 1 Eggleston and C. S. Martin came over the B. & M., Platte-river bridge Saturday evening accompanied half way by another commercial travel ler, who, concluding from the shakiness of the structure, that discretion was the better part of valor, took the back track. Saturday night three spans of the bridge went down stream, and Eggleston and Martin would not rejieat that experi ment for 8100. The B. & M. are getting a lot of very free advertising just now in the newspapers. It seems they are arrang ing for one-fare excursion tickets for the round trip the next three months from points in Wisconsin, Illinois, In diana, Missouri and as far east as Pitts burg, Wheeling and Buffalo, to points on the line of their road in Nebraska. Those who expect to touch the eastern investor, or inquirer for western lands should advise their eastern friends of the reduced rate. The probability is that the Union Pacific will shortly an nounce a similar rate. A Seward farmer claims, naturally enough.that he received two cents a bush el more for his oats because an oat meal mill is located at Seward. A home market counts, and this manufactures give. Columbus has a creamery,therefore it pays farmers to give more attention, to milch cows; we have a broom factory, therefore it pays to raise some broom corn; we have two large mills, and can, in consequence, get a better price for wheat. A paper mill would pay; starch factory, a canning factory, and make more valuable, products that can be raised here in abundance. Hon. B. K. Bruce, formerly U. S. Senator, also Register of the U. S. Treasury, has been lecturing in Kearney, Central City, Fullerton, St. Paul and other places in Nebraska on "The Race Problem." He stopped off here a few hours and had quite a chat with Hon. L. Gerrard of this city, mainly on affairs in the south. Mr. Bruce is a very intelli gent man, well-informed on public mat ters, and, by his voice alone, would not be recognized as belonging to the African race. He was born a slave in 1841, and at the age of 34 was elected senator. He and Mr. Gerrard were members of the same committee at the national republican convention at Chi cago which nominated Grant for presi dent and there became acquainted. There is likely to be broached a pretty interesting legal question -when our city election takes place. An en deavor was made to annex certain prop erty to the city limits, but all the legal requirements had not been fulfilled when a temporary injunction was laid upon further proceedings. The question now arises, Can voters of that section be deprived of their vote at the coming election? Suppose they offer to vote, they may be told that they are not yet in the city. But, while this may be the case, they are yet in the school district, and we learn that some of them at least will claim that they have a right to vote, not only for members of the school board, (as they usually have done) but for all school officers, which, by construe tion may mean all officers who by law have anything to do with school mat ters, authorizing levy of school tax, etc, etc If this be decided in their favor, then the ladies also can vote some of them being eligible on school matters. Altogether the city election this spring promises to be a little more interesting than usual. The public, whether the general government, the state, county, township or city, should make all needed public improvements that they can readily pay for, and thus distribute a portion, at least, of the surplus on hands, and help along the general interests. Public buildings should be erected wherever absolutely demanded, roads opened, bridges constructed and so on. Let the dollars now lying idle be put to work, so that they may be doing some good. It is the running water that turns the wheel of the mill. It is the blood, in circulation, that tends to strengthen life. There is something radically wrong when the circulating "medium" does not circulate, and when that which is de signed to facilitate commercial activity is allowed by non-usage to act aa a clog to the wheels. The period of rash spec ulation has passed the time for legiti mate, solid, business investments is at hand. The bag that has guarded the gold from the gambling chances can now come forth into the light of day and invest itself in Nebraska aoil and crops and oattlt and bogs. PERSONAL. Rev. Father Ryan went west yester day. R. Hartman of Omaha was in town Sunday. Frank Field, a former citizen, was in town last week. Brad Slaughter of Fullerton was in town Monday night. Senator Meikeljohn of Fullerton was in the city yesterday. Supervisor Gerber of Loup township was in town Saturday, on business. A. Smith of Platte Center was a Co lumbus visitor several days last week. Wm. Heitzman of Polk county came down from the west Saturday morning. -R. L. Rossiter, the jovial postmaster of Platte Center, gave us a call Monday. G. G. Bowman and John Wiggins rep resented the Columbus republican clubs at Oniaha last Thursday. Loran Clark and John Peters of Albion passed through the city Thursday, bound for the Club meeting at Omaha. Mrs. W. H. Winterbotham, who was visiting relatives here last week, return ed to her home in Genoa, Saturday. C. H. Sheldon returned last Wednes day from a two weeks' stay in Illinois. While there he was very severely afflict ed with quinsy, losing considerable flesh. Miss A. B. Kingston called at our of fice Friday evening. She has closed her school east of town, and was returning home and will teach the school near her home during the summer .term. She taught a very pleasant and' successful term. Humphrey Ind. Death or Willie Hoppen. It pains us to record this week the death, by accidental drowning, of Willie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hoppen, of this city. The breaking up of the Loup river is always a local event that attracts con siderable attention from young and old. The constant rush and roar of the wa ters and the ice create an interest in all who hear that is not easily suppressed, and nearly all are instinctively drawn toward the stream. And this is not strange. It is very natural that it should be so. Among the many scores of peo ple who went near to see the turbu lent stream last Sunday was Willie Hoppen, a lad of eight years, accompa nied by other children near his age, whose homes are near by. While push ing cakes of floating ice near the margin of the stream Willie somehow missed his footing and slipped into the water. One of the older boys clutched at his hair but could not get hold enough to secure the unfortunate lad from drown ing. The accident occurred about three o'clock. Every effort was made to find the body, but, as wo write, without avail. The stricken parents have the deepest sympathy of their many friends iu this community, in a loss which can never be filled, a sorrow which time alone may deaden, and which only -He who gave" can heal. Cuurt Proceedings. Court adjourned from Friday last to Monday of tins week. Judge Mar shall presiding after Tuesday, Judge Post going to Fremont. The docket is as follows: Russel & Co. v. Rickert, jury dismiss ed. Crane v. Kavanaugh, as sheriff, diet for defendant. Flvnn v. Sneilman, as sheriff. Ver- Ver- diet of 8272.74 for plaintiff. Wake v. Long, et al.

Abts is on trial, as we go to press. Judge Post is presiding this week. Los Angeles papers of recent date contain detailed accounts of the case of the people vb. Joseph A. and Eunice A. Baker, formerly well - known residents of this city. The charge preferred against them by their daughter, a penitentiary offence, if proven, is the kidnapping of her child. Frank P. Burgess was married to Miss Lizzie Baker in this city when she was sixteen years old, and was, sometime afterwards, divorced from her. Their child, Stella, is now six years old. Its mother has led a checkered existence, and it would seem that her own parents, who have maintained the child nearly all its life, so far, do not deem her a suitable person to have it in charge, but would rather her father, Mr. Burgess, should care for it hence their action. The account of affairs, as given by Mr. and-Mrs. J. A. Baker does not appear to the advantage of their daughter, now married to a Mr. Barker. She lives at Los Angeles, her parents at National City, and A. L. Reinoehl, late of Central City, this state, was their attorney at court, the judge holding that as the pa rents were in contempt by not produc ing the child in court, he would have to hold them in heavy bonds, which he fixed at 82,000, and which they gave. Platte Center, Neb., Feb. 22, '88. This is to certify that the State In surance Company of Dee Moines, Iowa, has this day settled with us for our loss by the fire of Feb. 10th, '88, to our entire satisfaction, and we would recommend the company to all wanting insurance for their fair and honorable treatment.

Clark made a busi ness trip here, and to the office of the town clerk last Wednesday. Road overseer Reed has placed double plank on the Reagan bridge across Lost creek. The -winter term of school closed in this district last Friday. Our town clerk lost his driving horse one day last week; inflammation was the cause, as we were told. A new son made its appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Luckey, jr., on Friday of last week. Win. Moore, whom we sent east last week, is now in Bates Co., Missouri, ne gotiating for the sale of some property there. Last Friday, after school, Geo. Drin nin, 15 years old, took his musket and' hied himself to the field; on his return an hour after, he bore evidence of the approach of the web-foot and feathery tribe, as his game-sack contained three large geese and a pintail, two of the geese being nearly white. It has leaked out that a trade is about to be consummated, by which our su pervisor will l)e the possessor of 6400 rods more of dirt. Brood sows seem to be in great de mand by farmers who lost nearly all their hogs one year ago; what few were for sale here were taken very readily at a fair price, and still the demand is good; those having that kind of stock for sale could reach buyers through the columns of the Journal, to good advantage all around. r. Our attendance 'at thiB term of the district' court has convinced us of one fact that is evident to all who have business with the district court and that is for the amount of labor to be per formed there is a lack of room. The old. court room has answered its purpose,, and in its day was sufficient for the do-, raands but its dangerous walls, .old dingy and broken seats, and worn-out chairs are a disgrace to the room, incom modious and inconvenient as it is. And to ask twelve intelligent beings to Bit for twentv-fonr hours in a room much more suited for a cattle stall than for any other purpose, and deliberate on ques tions of public and right, is a punish ment not contemplated by the provis ions of the law. As we sat on the jury the snn was shining through the lath of the ceiling from which the plaster had fallen, lighting up and making cheerful the otherwise dingy and dilapidated in terior of the room. We believe the District Judge would be justified in making an order to have the court and jury rooms made comfortable, cheerful and convenient, at any rate the super visors have the tower; and it should lie attended to. Humphrey Independent. All the frost will soon be out of the ground and plowing will begin and go forward in earnest. In eighteen n years residence in Nebraska we have not seen such a lively demand for land to rent, and those who have large tracts devoted to pasture (wild grass) will lie apt to break a good portion of it this season so as to rent by another. Those who, In breaking, will be short of hay, can make up the account by devoting the laud thus broken to millet, which almost in- Lvariably brings a good crop on the sod when tnat is properiy cm 10 pieces uy a disc harrow. A min in the other day to send off the rent of land to its owner, when questioned as to what the owner's share of the crop had brought him per acre, said, "about 83.50." That makes a good rental for the land, but, lxstter still, whnn one is fixed for it, is to culti vate yourself. Investment in Nebraska lands will bring a good return, whether immediately in the rent or crops, or whether more remotely in the increased value of the land. Naturally rich, with good usage, it is becoming more so every year. " An accident to the B. & M. freight train Thursday last knocked a freight qar off the track this side David City. It took some time to clear the track. Tho train stuck going up grade. The engi neer left some of the cars on the track, going forward to David City with the others. Returning for those left, the engine for some reason, became unman ageable, and ran into the cars on the track, with result as stated. Garden Seeds.
