It remains with the citizens of Colum

best of their ability.
- Suppose that the mayor should or
der the chief of police to legally rid the
town of all houses of prostitution, and
the chief should succeed in doing this,
to the extent of about ten people of ono
sex and many of another (according to
Councilman Gluck), would the mayor be
subject to impeachment as not having
discharged his duty? Why not, if his
position is correct, as set forth by the
vote hist Wednesday evening?

It is just as much the duty of good
men and women to defend their homes,
their schools, their community, from the
contamination of vile influences as it is
for the soldier on the field of battle to
fight the enemies of his country, and it
is at times, nearly all the time, equally
as necessary to do so. The weapons are
altogether different, but the courage,
the determination are the same, and the
results often more important that the
arbitrament of the sword.
George Lehman, proprietor of the
Grand Pacific, is about to make some
extensive improvements on his hotel

two stories on the lot in rear of the hotel

fore he completes the summer's im
provements he may add a story to that
part of the hotel in the rear and fronting
on Olive street. George is enterprising
and has the means to make and keep his
hotel in first-class order.
At the county Court, Saturday, hia
Honor, Judge Hudson, admitted to pro
bate the will of David Murphy, deceased.
J. B. Shillito, John Hennessey and John
Lowreywere the witnesses to the will.
Mrs. EUen Murphy was named as exec
utrix. The petition of W. J. Thuraton,
adm'r of the estate of James W. Dickin
Bon for an extension of time to Oct. 2d,
'88, to settle the estate, was granted, it
appearing that there are real-estate in
terests now in litigation, which will
prevent a settlement before that time.
John Tannahill, who has charge of
the matter, wishes the people of Platte
county to know that he wishes to secure
for the Platte County Exhibit at the
State Fair a half bushel each of all kinds
of grain, samples of fruit of all kinds,
sections of trees, samples of tame and
wild grasses of every sort, grain in small
sheaves, vegetables of all varieties, and
anything else grown or manufactured in
Platte county. All these articles will be
brought back from the State Fair, or en
tered for premiums at our county fair,
and owners can obtain them on the last
day of the fair. For further informa
tion, address John Tannahill, Colum
bus, Nebraska.
The mayor, by his vote, said that
there are uo houses of prostitution in
the city. It would have been more con
sistent with his courso as mayor to have
said that we have houses of prostitution
among us, but for some reason (unknown
to all good citizens) they are permitted
to ply their nefarious business to the
scandal and shame of the community.
It is preposterous to think that they
would defy the city authorities to do
their best to oust them from the place.
Everybody that knows anything about
it understands now, if they did not be
fore, that the mayor of Columbus is (for
some reason) in favor of tolerating these
sinks of pollution in the city. Comment
on such a state of affairs is not neces
sary. It might have been gratifying,
however, to some of the mayor's long
time personal friends if he had given hiB
reasons for his vote.
- Daily excursions have been arranged
for over the Union Pacific Railway, to
San Francisco, San Diego, Colton, Los
Angeles, San BerLardino and San Jose,
California, also to Portland, Oregon, at
SS0.00 for the round trip. Tickets are
good GO days for the going passage and
good for the return trip for six months
from date of sale, with the usual stop
over privileges in both directions within
these limits. These tickets are also good
by way of Denver and Salt Lake City in
each direction. The Agent, Mr. J. R.
Meagher, tells us quite a number are
thinking of making the trip soon, and it
would be well for those intending to go
in select parties to see him and arrange
for their accommodations. Mr. J. B.
Frawley, Traveling Agent, Union Pacific,
at Omaha, is arranging for these select
partios, and will be glad to give any fur
ther information in regard to these ex
cursions. Parties who prefer can corres

A former resident of this vicinity
who happened to be present tit the last
meeting of the city council declared the
next day that a man of family who had
had any notion of locating in this city
would now think several times before
concluding to bring a family of children
here. Another said, "I make pretty good
wages as a workman here, but if such a
state of affairs as that shown last night
continues, it would be a long time be
fore I would invest a cent, little as I
have, in anything I could not pick up
and move away with me, any day." As
a benefit to the town, looking toward
the future, the question is whether a
' policy," contrary to law, in defiance of
statutes and of decency and good morals
shall be maintained, to draw thither the
scum of the world, the dissolute of all
classes, or whether the laws shall be en
forced as they should be, to the exclu
sion of prostitutes of both sexes that we
mav have a community reasonably de
sirable to all good people.
The Abbey's Dramatic Troupe open
ed at the Lelaud Opera House last even
ing to a large and appreciative audience.
The company is a double one the only
double company in the world. Two
Topsys, two Lawyers, and the most
wonderful Eva ever seen on any stage.
She is only four years old. She is very
pretty, very talented and a delightful
little vocalist. Her name is Genie Furs-
man. The leading cnaracters in the
company are rendered with great spirit;
the famous Hyer Sisters making two
very remarkable Topsys. Their splendid
voices, made a most pronounced im
pression, while their piquant acting was
extremely captivating. This prolific fun
kept tho large audience in laughing good
humor during every act. The two law
yers, by Messrs. Smith and Mann, "fill
tho bill" admirably. They are excellent
comedians. Wm. Lannigan gave us an
excellent St. Clair, while Irene Lanni
gan made a hit as "Aunt Ophelin." The
piece is nicely mounted. The planta
tion songs are rendered admirably by
full-voiced colored men. The dogs per
formed their parts with entire success.
Albany Argus. At Columbus Opera
House this (Wednesday) evening.
A singular circumstance showing the
power of the local press comes to us
from Lnsk, Wyo., where our old friend
J. K. Calkins, formerly of this city con
ducts the Herald. We clip it to show
our people what a paper sent east by
them may accomplish more than they
think. In the case cited Platte county
loses some good citizens, but the inci
dent illustrates the general principle,
just as well. We may say that had it
not been for the words "marked copy"
on the .vrapper of the Herald, we would
probably not have seen this paragraph:
"The facts which lead to the visit of
Messrs. D. and P. Streeter to this coun
try to seek homes for themselves and
eight or ten other families, as mentioned
in another column, are worthy of being
put in type. Some weeks ago D. Street
er went to the Journal office at Colum
bus, Neb., to procure some old papers for
his wife to put on shelves. The Herald
exchanges with the Journal, and among
other papers Mr. Streeter got a copy of
this great truth promulgator. The pa
pers were taken to his home and duly
cut up and placed on the cupboard
shelves. A few days afterward one of the
children picked up a small piece of paper
in the door yard, the father saw it and
noticed thereon the words "Free Homes
for the Millions.' He also found the
name of the paper. That was all. He
wrote for a sample copy and on reading
it, he and hiB brother decided to come
and look at this country. The result
will be the immigration of ten good
families, who will Bettle an the beautiful
lands near Lusk. Send papers to your
eastern friends,"

House of III Fame.
An unusual number of citizens were
present at the council meeting last Wed
nesday evening and many of them stay
ed to hear the discussion of the social
evil, as presented for the consideration
of the council in the reports of tho com
mittee on police, on Councilman Speice's
resolution that all houses of prostitu
tion within the city limits bo suppress
ed. The question being on the motion
of Gluck that the majority report of
Segelko and Schreiber stating that after
diligent inquiry thoy were unable to as
certain that there were any such houses
in the city, and recommending that the
resolution be indefinitely postponed,
Councilman Speiee took the floor, and
in a speech to which no report could do
justice, gave his views of the matter.
He expressed the greatest surprise that
Mr. Segelke and Mr. Schroiber should
make such a report. Surely their in
quiries had not been rightly directed.
If they have failed to find that there are
such houses here, or such a house as is
commonly known as the White House,
they are far duller and more stupid and
know less about the morals and condi
tion of the city in that regard than many
of our boys ten years old who stand on
the street corner and point to that
monument of lust. I would like to have
any councilman here get up now and
tell me whether or not he knows of the
existence of these sinks of pollution. If
any man of ordinary intelligence who
has lived in the city six months would
tell me that he did not know of the ex
istence of this blot of shame, I would
certainly tell him he wjis not an observ
ant man. I know that every man of us
knows the situation, every official of the
city, nine-tenths of the people, not ex
cluding ladies of the city. There is no
use in "beating around the bush" in
this matter. Shall the laws of the state
and the ordinance of the city be enforc
ed according to the wishes of a large
majority of our good people or will we
disregard their petition in the face of a
lot of harlots? Are we afraid of those
rotten excrescences of bestial lust?
It 6eems to me the duty of this coun
cil is very clear. The state lawis plain,
our ordinance is definite and the su
premo court has held that the only evi
dence needed is that proving the gen
end reputation of these houses. Con
sidering all the circumstances, if we do
not do our duty we will be justly repre
hended, tis
"Ho thnt tlallieH is a flaxtanl.
And he that doubts is damned."
Mr. Gluck then took the floor and
said:
I have given this question in the last
few days some attention and I am satis
fied in my mind that there is quite con
siderable prostitution going on in this
city. I have learned that there are a
number of professional prostitutes here,
but their number is small and insignifi
cant compared with the number of pros
titutes that we have who carry on their
business privately, in single and double
file. I have also learned that there are
in our community male strumpets who
move in good society and are classed
among the good people of the town. I
don't claim to have any proof of any of
these things, but I am fttisfied in my
mind that they do exist and if the po
lice is directed to act as 6pies on this
class of crime, then let them be instruct
ed to do their whole duty, no matter
whom it strikes. I am satisfied that the
evidence can be obtained. I do not pro
fess to be a pure Christian gentleman
myself, but I know that we have some
ladies and gentlemen in our city who do
claim to be good Christiana. Why don't
some of those good and pure people try
and reform some of those outcasts of so
ciety? They have no friends, no advo
cates; their buib have been found out,
and I don't believe that they would re
ceive from the professional advocates of
social purity and morality in this city
as much refuge and comfort, as would
be given a stray dog, who is hunting for
food and shelter. If they live here,
they must necessarily live a life of
shame; we can of course drive them out
and into some other community but will
those heroes of morality by doing bo,
succeed in driving them out of the busi
ness they are engaged in? Not until so
ciety shall forgive them, as it forgives
greater criminals than those poor crea
tures, such as murderers, highway rob
bers, etc., and not until Christianity
shall treat them as Christ treated Mary
Magdelen when he said to her: "Go forth
and sin no more."
I want to be impartial and treat the
women who are social outcasts with th
Bame indulgence that is accorded to the
men who are their partners in crime. If
wo are to stamp out this class of crime,
then let us be just and fair and impar
tial and let the police bo given strict or
ders to spy upon all the prostitutes in
our city, bo they men or women, great
or small, rich or poor and unfortunate;
let them all alike be brought to justice,
men or women, and let the officers know
that this council will approve their
action, whomsoever they may detect or
expose. Let this be done or nothing.
One more word I want to say with refer-1
ence to those female prostitutes. I find !
they lead a quiet and retired life; they
don't disturb the peace and dignity of
our good and virtuous city, and they
don't do anybody any harm in particular
but on the contrary find that they con
tribute to a certain extent to tho wel
fare of quite a good many of our busi
ness men in a business point of view,
and of all the business men I havo
spoken to with regard to this matter, I
have failed to find a single one, who was
in favor of driving tham out.
Councilman Spoice rejoined that, as
councihnen, our duty in this matter is
so very plain that there ought not to be
the least question about it. My friend
Gluck assumes to espouse tho cause of
tho White House
Gluck Instead of one White House,
you would have a dozen green houses.
Speiee I am not in favor of tolerat
ing any of these wenohes anywhere, in
white or green or yellow houses; there is
no law of state or city that justifies that
course of conduct on our part, thoy have
no ngnt to ply their infernal business
anywhere, and as to tolerating them for
the Bake of a fow dollars they may bring
to a few classes of business, I would as
soon think of it as I would of coiuing my
grandmother's coffin. You know as well
as I can tell you that undor our oath of
office as councihnen we are in conscience
bound to rid the city of this evil. God
help the business men who can't live
without the money derived from such a
source.

International Cyclopedia.
t . --.t.r..i. 1 Ti 1 TIT

tako pleasure in announcing that the
Chicago board of education has adopted
the International as the Cyclopedia
hereafter to lx purchased for tho pub
lic schools of the city. A number of
sets have already been ordered and put
in use.
In view of the competition inevitable
in a center like this (and in this particu
lar case very sovero and persistent), the
vote of the board in favor of the Inter
national, after a thorough examination
and discussion of this and other works,
carries great significance.
Rev. Howard Crosby, formerly Chan
cellor of New York University, says of
it: I have carefully examined your In
ternational Cyclopedia, and find it ex
actly the book of reference best suited
for family use. I used to consider
Chamber's the best for this purpose, but
tho International is far beyond my old
stand-by. I have read articles on sub
jects on which I was specially informed,
aud have found the work done with ac
curacy. I refer especially to the new ar
ticles which comprise so large a part of
tha cyclopedia. The Rev. R. G. Greene
is one of the most exact scholars in our
country, and the marks of his skillful
hand are everywhere present in the vol
umes. He has rightly defined the prov
ince of a cyclopedia, to give both sides
of important questions and to decide
nothing. This definition he has faith
fully illustrated in these fifteen grand
volumes. The most important articles
arejclear though concise, the two qual
ities being admirably combined.

And this is tho sort of journalism that
