Tho county superintendent has
drawn up a plan of work for the county

systematize the efforts of both superin
tent and teachers. The main idea of the

teachers and pupils in the proper line
throughout their whole school life. Tho
plan will be fully explained at the com
ing county institute.
Our well-known friend, Rev. Dr.
Henrich, has just published a new book

A short visit to W. A. Stewart's
place (Judge Higgins's property) in the
eastern part of the city, convinced us
that ha has the commencement of a
large enterprise. He seems to be thor
oughly versed in tho business of raising
seeds and has some novelties that will
attract universal attention. The hun
dred apple trees on tho place are heavily
laden, and some of thorn look as though
they might have as much as fifty bushels
each.
- Last Sunday E. Johnson was the
loser of a valuable piece of property. A
few weeks ago while at Columbus, Neb.,
ho purchased a fine large mare, and
brought the animal to Lusk with him.
While on the road the animal caught
cold and it settled on her lungs, from the
effects of which she died. People should
bo very careful with thoir stock when
importing thorn from other states until
they become accustomed to our climate.

Decoration Day was duly observed,
the exercises boiug conducted by Baker
Post No. 9, G. A. R, John Tannahill,
commanding. In the procession with
the old soldiers were the Uniform Rank
Knights of Pythias, Capt. W. B. Dale,
Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co., Colum
bus Engine Co. and hose teams, citizens
and school children, led by the Union
Brass Band to the cemetery where the
graves of old soldiers were decorated
with flowers. The address of the day
delivered by Judgo Hudson was listen
ed to with marked attention.
Saturday a man was put off the
train hero who gave every indication of
being on tho verge of insanity. He cried
like a child, although a man of perhaps
twenty-seven years of age, and when
questioned by Adolph Reineck in Ger
man said he wanted to go to Ger
many and see his mother. He claimed
that ho hailed from Columbus and that
he had been in tho hospital there for two
months. He said that at intervals ho
was subject to attacks of lunacy. Po
liceman Degman put him in the city bed
room till morning when ho was sent on
his way as far as Fremont. NicholB

The grader has been set to work
again by Street Commissioner Elliott
and is doing good service. The surface
on Eleventh street, for instance, was
shaved off and piled in the center of the
street, where it can crumble when it gets
ready. Tho experience of the past spring
this year convinces everybody "that the
roads will now need attention every
season, the road must be higher and
further from the ditches, and theso
should lie as deep as they can be con
veniently made and yet carry off the
surplus water. Good roads are neces
sary adjuncts of civilized life, and to
neglect them is to lose money in more
respects than one. No market town can
afford to allow the roads leading to it to
remain bad, and the matter should have
tho thoughtful and prompt attention of
the authorities whose business it is to
see to it.
John W. Early, well known to many
of our readers as ex-county treasurer of
Platte county, had a serious mishap be
fall him Sunday evening. While com
ing home from the country, the team
being lively, and the wagon somehow
getting cramped to one side, it over
turned, Mr. Early in the scramble hav
ing his left leg broken a little below the
knee, a compound fracture; tho right
anklo dislocated and bones fractured;
the left shoulder also put out of place,
and one of tho bones fractured. Dr. F.
J. Schug, assisted by Drs. Stillman and
Evans, attended to the wounds and Mr.
Early is getting along as well as could
be expected. Mr. Early will havo the
sympathy of his numerous acquaintances
during his enforced confinement to bed.
He may under the circumstances well
congratulate himself that he escaped
with his life.
The Journal wants it very plainly
understood that it is not apologizing for
its course concerning the houses of pros
titution, either this year or in former
years. If anybody imagines that the
editor of the Journal values any "friend
ship" (so-called) of any one, high or low,
that asks for its continuance a change
of action on our part on this subject
they are very much mistaken and don't
know to whom they areaddressing them
selves. Affairs would be at a pretty
pass, indeed, if a nowBpaper editor
couldn't advocate a line of policy ap
proved by his own judgment, by that of
good people generally and by the law of
the land, without first consulting some
one who might possibly take peculiar
offence thereat. People have a right to
dare to differ in opinion from you. The
ability to form correct opinions is not
confined to one individual.
Mrs. Nettie Golden of Oskaloosa,
Kansas, is visiting her neice, Mrs. A.
Anderson, of this place. She is one of
the ladies composing the city council in
Oskaloosa. A Journal representative
called on Mrs. Golden and learned the
following facts in regard to the election
and its sequence: "Oskaloosa is a city
of one thousand souls and at the present
time is governed by women. The busi
ness men of the town were tired of the
politicians ruling the town, and asked
us ladies if we would consent to run for
office. We did so. We made the issue
on improvements and keeping boys at
home at night. We won by nearly two
to one. As a result of the election we
are now having quite a number of board
walks built, and the city marshal is in
structed to arrest all boys under 16
years of age found loafing around town
after half-past eight in the evening. We
are not suffragists. Don't want to vote
in general and know nothing whatever
of politics and don't want to. In on and
a half hours we transact as much busi
ness as the old council did in three. We
meet at 7 o'clock and adjourn at 8:30 p.
m. We have had no whisky sold in our
town for years and I don't remember
the day when I saw a drunken man in
town." Mrs. Golden is a fine conversa
tionalist, pleasing in appearance and is
well posted on current topics. She in
tends returning home in about two
week.

The management of the Union Pa
cific "The Overland Route," mado a
change in tho running time of its local
trains Sunday, April 29th, that will bo
hailed with delight by the residents of
"The Omaha and Republican Valley."
This change is made in conjunction with
the St. Joseph and Grand Island branch,
making the leaving time of No. 7 at
Council Bluffs 8:40 a. m. and Omaha
9:00 a. m. Arriving at Valley at 10:25
a. m.; it connects with the train arriving
at Valparaiso at 11:5G a. in., and nt
Stromsburg at 2:50 p. in. Here it con
nects with the St. Joseph and Grand
Island train, via McCool Junction and
Fairfield, arriving at Alma at 10:00 p. in.
The train running opposite leaves Alma
daily at 5:30 a. m., arriving at Stroms
burg at 12:00 p. m., Valparaiso 2:30 p. m.
and Valley 4:15 p. in., connecting with
No. 8 arriving in Omaha at 5:50 p. in. and
Council Bluffs at 6:10 p. m., connecting
with Eastern trains. A change in the
running of trains between Lincoln and
Valparaiso, enables passengers leaving
Alma in the morning to reach Lincoln at
3:40 p. m. Leaving Lincoln at 11:35 a.
in. they connect at Valparaiso with the
Alma train, arriving there at 10:00 p. m.
Good time and through chair car ac
commodations, makes this the most
desirable line running into this portion
of Nebraska. Passengers between Alma
and Lincoln will be obliged to make
only one change and that at Valparaiso.

Council Proceedings.
A communication was received from
the secretary of the Morchants Ex
change of Dallas, Texas, asking tho city
to send delegates to a convention to be
held in July at Denver to take such
steps as may be necessary to induce the
national congress to make such appro
priations as will secure a deep-wator
port on the coast of Texas. Communi
cation referred to committee on finance.
The city attorney in replying to tho
request of the Council for his opinion
concerning the vacation of L. Gerrard
and M. Whitmoyer of a portion of the
plat of capitol addition, says: "While
there is no authoritative construction of
the statute it is probable that such par
tial vacation is unauthorized and is
void. I have not boon given an oppor
tunity to examine the tax-deed under
which Messrs. Gerrard and Whitmoyer
claim title to the land in question and
can therefore give no opinion as U.
whether it is valid or not. If it is void
on its face, as Biich deeds often are, tho
vacation is for that reason null and of no
effect.''
Messrs. Gluck, Segelke anil Sheldon,
to whom was referred tho report of the
Water Commissioner, reported that they
fouml tho same satisfactory and correct.
Report approved.
On motion of Speico the bond or city

No citizen has offered proof that thore
is such a house or has ever suggested
the name of a witness by whom such
evidence could lo furnished."
The Chief of Police was directed to

By consent of council Rev. Knox took
