"The utter disregard with which the
Columbus business men have treated the
fair is the foundation for this statement,"
viz: "that no doubt the business men of
Columbus have a well grounded preju
dice against the successive failures of
the Columbus Driving Park Associa
tion." So saj-s the last Argus. The
truth is that the businessmen of Colum
bus have no prejudice against thesocietj'.
against its failures or successes, and
they have not treated the fair with "utter
disregard."' Your successive crops of
failures bj- trying to work the field of
prehutice against Columbus, will more
than offset jour doubtful successes in
that line, and the rope j"ou have yourself
twisted is the one that you have tight
ened around vour own neck.
Representative Stevens of Platte
county introduced a bill known as House
Roll No. 131. to amend the present law
on removal of county seats, which came
up for dsscnesion Tuesday of last week.
It was def ated by a vole of 36 to 3o.
In the sen e. a motion to indefinitely
postpone was carried. Representatives
Schelp and Stevens of this county fa
vored the measure, and Senator Van
Houeen opposed it. We are informed
that Platte Center had a number of men
at Lincoln to lobby the bi!' through the
legislature. It looks s c , though
Platte Center had had her way alto
gether in this matter, so far at least as
the nomination of representative candi
dates favorable to the scheme is con
cerned, and the urging of it upon the
legislature. This was not the first at
tempt, and may not be the last. If more
prejudice against Columbus can be fos
tered in the coming two j-ears, the next
legislature may be importuned.

Just as we were closing our columns
yesterday, word came of the arrest or a
man who registered at the Thurston
Mondaj' as C. H. Cook, and a resident of
Omaha, identified first, by .1. S. WellH,
and afterwards by Volley Weaver and
Ed. Early, respective of tho Columbus
State bank and First National, as the
man who offered Jan. 28, 1890, a check
on the Columbus State bank with the
forged name of W. T. Rickly and for the
sum of 041) and some cents. While
Sheriff Caldwell (who had him under
arrest with him at the telephone ex
change), was communicating with Oma
ha, Cook gave him the slip, and ran
across the street dodging into Boett-
cher's store on Eleventh, but he was
caught, and was to have had his hearing
some time dnring the daj". He is tall,
black mustache, some gray hairs, well
dressed and is said to be a "sport."
Last week we barelj" had space to
mention the death of John Slaven, the
hermit residing between this and Platte

the matter. The verdict of coroner
Heintz's jury (Steve Waggoner, H. Fobes.
E. L. Ives anil Chas. Waggoner), was
that he died a natural death while asleep.
It is supposed he bad been dead several
days. His old horse was verj" thirstj"
and had tat everj"thing within reach.
Slavm was about fifty years old. lived by
himself, hoarded the grain and hay that
he had raised on his eighty acres for the
past seven years, and much of it was
spoiled, not being sheltered. Hir con

A Kriet" Oiitinz.
We had-occasion to go to Lincoln. last
Thursday on business. The capitol city
is keeping up its reputation as a grow
ing center of population. Just at present,
evidently, all lines of business are quiet,
even the bi-ennial assembly of Nebras
ka's law makers does not, these days,
make much of astir- their most exciting
hours seeming to have been the first ones.
Among the Platte county men at the
capitol, we met ex-representative Swarts
lej", who has an important iHjsition in
the house. Mr. Sutton of Monroe, was
in the building, but we didn't learn
what iosition he has. Mr. Sandilands
of Booue. had a familiar look as he stood
in the door of the senate jiost office. A
talk with Senator Van llousen devel
oped the fact that on the question of
county seat removal bills, at least, ho
is his own judge or what his constituents
expect of him. ' We lielieve that the sen
ator is a conscientious, independent
official and will do what he thinks is
right.
Representative Stevens was busy with
committee work, and Mr. Shelp we didn't
have a talk with.
J. M. Macfarland, formerly of the citj",
was an interested looker on from the
lobby of the senato during ho discus
sion of a bill intended to lighten tho
lalNirs of the judges of the supreme court,
and help them clear tho docket.
Mr. Edgerton of South Omaha, candi
date hist fall for attorney general on the
independent ticket, was also a listener to
a portion of tho debate.
"Col." Wheat, the Knights of Lalwr
lecturer, is a very conspicuous figure in
and out. among the legislators, and is
doubtless one of the advisory committee.
B. It. Cowderj", deputy seeretarj" of
state has apparently not lost any of his
avoirdupois, and is as genial as ever, in
fact one of the most accommodating of
flicials the capitol.
Ex-state treasurer, and ex-representative
J. C. McBride, formerly of Schuyler,
now of Lincoln, seems to le more or less
interested in legislative matters.
While the house has passed the maxi
mum freight bill, which, bj" the inde
pendents is regarded as the best meas
ure before the legislature, it is consid
ered doubtful of adoption bj' the senate.
A man who, in confidence, said that he
was inside the lines on information,
declared that Boyd will not lie governor
because he was not a citizen of the Uni
ted States on the day fixed for taking'
office that the evidence was clear, un
doubted and unanswerable. In the lan
guage of an ardent democrat, "what a
huge joke on the democracy" of Nebras
ka one governor in a lifetime, takes his
doubtful seat, but declares to his party
friends and workers that when the
proper time comes, he will show his
citi.eiibhip all right, and then be walked
out!!"
In the citj' we met two j'ouug men,
sons of Harvej" Eagleson and Thompson
Craig, (old friends of Harrison count J',
Ohio), now as big as their fathers were
thirtj years ago. Thej" are in attend
ance" at the state universitj. and are
making steadj strides up the hill of
science.
R. It. Sutherland, at the U. P. depot,
had a half hour to devote to inquiry
concerning Columbus affairs and his
many acquaintances here, and. bj' the
waj', remarked that our agent here, Col.
J. It. Meagher, is one or the best men in
the employ of the companj", almost the
exact words that the Colonel had used
in speaking of Sutherland.
There was very little snow on the
ground at Lincoln, not more than fell
hete in a half hour Fridaj', but twenty
miles north, it was nearlj as deep as here.
As to legislation, a uun.lier of inde
pendents who had ardent faith in mov
ing the world at once, and keeping it in
motion, are coiisiderablj' discouraged at
the outlook, but still are not inclined to
to lose heart altogether.
On the way to Lincoln, Sheriff Crites
of Merrick county, and an assistant had
in charge J. F. Griswold, whom they were
taking peaceably to the asylum, under
the fiction that lie was to plead his own
case hefore the supreme court. The
sheriff said that domestic and financial
troubles had weakened his mental force.
Truly, one had better be dead than in
curably insane. It is considerable of a
gratification, however, to know that we
live in times that are so full of benefi
cent intent toward the unfortunate in
mind and body, one of tho direct results
of the gospel of tho "paternity of t !od
and the fraternity of nihil."
The la-igli Tragedy.
Some few facts are to 1m added to the
account given in last week's Joui:nal to
iiinko tho history of the terrible tragedy
complete. Frank Yob, tho hired man
was about twentj--two years old, his par
ents residing in Santa Rosa, Cal., for
merly living at North Bend, so says the
Schuyler Quill. The husband was a
man of good habits, highly respected by
all who knew him and verj' fond of his
wife and family. The wife was a woman
of thirty years, good looking, ami had no
doubt been guilty of criminal relations
with Yob. Several months ago the hus
band discharged Yob because he sus
pected him and his wife of improper ac
tions, but was compelled to keep him
or his wife would go. too. It is said that
at tho time of the murder nn elopement
was planned. The deed of McCubbinB
was premeditated. McCubbins was a
good man, but the actions of his wife
had driven him to desperation. He
brooded over his sorrow till he was in
sane upon the subject. He had acted
strangelj" the week preceding the trng
edj'. He made his will: he notified his
mother, Mrs. Ir'uie Garris. of Indiana,
saying that on Fridaj' he expected to
commit an awful deed. This notice she
received ou that day. She knew at once
the cause, for the wife's conduct was an
old storv.

farm. Mr. Stenger will build him a
house nnd furnish farming utensils, etc.
The land joins A. C. Pickett on the west.
Mrs. J. II. Reed and Miss Bertha Dun
lap expect to start March 3d via the B.
.V M. R. It. for their future home at Riv
erside. Calif. Cyclops has known them
for a number of years, and will miss
them sadlj". He wishes them a safe
journey and abundant success in their
new home.
Owing to the severe weather last
Weduesdaj' eveniug the scholars or the
Reed school considered it unsafe to ven
ture home. They were kindly taken
care of by the nearest neighbors.
Tho Platte Farmers' Club which met
at It. S. Dickinson's last Fridaj' was not
up to the usual size of meetings.
A. C. Pickett and wife attended the
special meeting of the C. L. S. C. which
was held nt the residence of M. Brugger
in tho citj'. Thej- also spent the night
with Mr. B. and family, returning home
tho next daj".
Mr. Tom Reagan, in companj" with his
mother and sisters Bridget and Mary,
spent Sunday with James and Mrs.
Russell.
Bonnie Brodfuehror of your citj" spent
Sunday among the young folks of this
neighborhood.
Those who have lob 6leds find them
verj" convenient in hauling large loads
of any kind. We notice Otis Clark hauls
a good big box full of corn into the citj'
with the greatest of ease with one team
and bobs.
We understand that Marcus, sou of
our neighltor P. S. Griffin, is coming to
be quite an artist. The engraving that
he is at work on now is a midnight
scene in this neighltorhood not long
since. Those that have seen the work
pronounce it perfection. Tlleonly thing
that puzzles Marcus now is the color of
Mrs. H. B. ltoed's three cats.
Johnnie Megill and familj', who re
cently moved to the citj', spent Satur
day night, Sunday and Sunday night
visiting relatives and friends in this part
of the little world.
There seems to be considerable confu
sion among the different scribes of the
communitj', even to the editor or the
Columbus Telegram, in regard to an
item of verj' great interest that Cyclops
recently wrote about a joung man and
his wagon tongue. Now we feel very
(that don't express it, we'll say terribly i
sorrj' for the young man. But words
can nol express the sorrow we have for
those that can't read an item with a
little degree of clearness. Cyclops.

We believe it would be wisdom on the
part of the farmer who has no shoes on
his horses' feet, during the present slip
perj condition of the roads, to keep his
horse in the stable until the ice softens;
many a noble beast without sharp shoes
has broken his limbs by being driven ou
the roads wlieii there was less ice than
there is now. If horses must go on the
roads, thej- should lie shod.
Last Thursday morning, when mer
ciirj' was below zero, we saw (ltd. John
Huber sud Dan Schram in a sleigh driv
ing east, the former probablj going to
crj' some farm sale, and the latter to
bank the same.
Dr. Willy of your city passed the
school house Friday morning during the
snow storm, on his way to see a patient
on Shell Creek; when we saw him last,
he was wrestling with a huge snow drift;
the little doctor's pluck is too much for
anj blizzard that attempts to come lie
tween him and one of his patients.
We saw Tom L. Reagan going into
tho city Thursday. There is no doubt
Tom ha turned over a new leaf and will
commence ou a clear page.
Mrs. 11. L. Drinnen had her fat tur
keys slaughtered Thursday and shipped
to Omaha that night; they were nicely
dressed ami looked good enough to eat.
Joe Drinnen says he has divided his
time during the last month in feeding
his pigs and shoveling snow out of a
cut through a drift in the road near his
place; the drift is at the south end of a
small grove and has been filling about
every other daj".
Mondaj' of last week, Mr. and Mrs.
John Dishner, Sr., passed the school
house for the citj-, iu a sleigh.
Fred Luckej', Jr., says from thepres
ent outlook it will be impossible to do
any farming in this month, and he is go
ing to make a prospecting trip to Okla
homa, I. T., returning in time to put in
his crops.
Onr teacher returned Saturday from
Platte Center; while away ho made sale
of a quantity of hay that he bought near
that place last fall, which gave him a
very nice profit.
T. H. Johnson, who has been aggra
vated with rabbits gnawing his trees, set
a Steel trap and succeeded in catchiug
two Jack rabbits, one breaking the fast
enings and getting away with tho trap.
Toia 'is enjoj'ing a visit this week
from his brother Arthur, from Kan
sas, aud who is an old time railroader.
If the large quantities of snow and ice
that now cover the ground should go off
with a warm rain there will certainly be
loss of life and propertj" on the low lands,
and every precaution should he taken
to avert the danger.

E. T. Graham, the Creston miller,
passed through here last Mondaj' en
route for Newman Grove.
Dr. Al Condon of Perrj', Iowa, came in
last Fridaj" evening to visit his brother
Win. Condon.
Mrs. Tonj Fangman who has been
verj" sick for the past week, we are in
formed is improving rapidly.
J. -W. Lynch, the popular banker of
Platte Center, was doing business in
town last Saturdaj'.
Thirtj' cars of merchandise for the
west end of the Elkhorn branch werj
side-tracked at Corn lea during tl
blockade.
Miss Eva Brown, an old friend of Mrs.
Wm. Hart, who has been spending the
past year in Denver, Colo., vibited in
Uumphrej this week.
T. K. Ottis left last Tuesday for Red
River,"" Dakota, ou business. He will
visit Minnesota before bis return to Ne-

braskn.
Last night as Jacob ltipp was turning
out the lights in his saloon, the fasten
ing v.hich supported a large electric
luirner lamp that was suspended over
his pool table gave away, letting the
burning lamp down ou tho table. Mr.
Ripp succeeded in getting the lamp onto
the tloor when the oil on the- inside
ignited and ran over the floor in a stream
of fire, slightly scorching the wainscot
ing and mop board on the west side of
the room. After several fruitless efforts
to put out the fire with water. Mr. ltipp
took 'iff his overcoat and smothered the
tiames. It was a verj" narrow escape
from being a large conflagration, and if
the fire had got beyond control, the
whole row of business houses between
the corner and Eiiners store would have
gone up in smoke, and the supreme ef
forts of all the people in tho town could
not have saved it. Again we ask "does
Humphrey need fire protection, or does
she not?" And tho echo answers, "she
does not."
