City Council.
"When the council convened Friday
night, all answered to roll call except
Boettcher and Hoffmanthe latter ap
pearing a few minutes afterward.
A remonstrance very numerously
signed was read by the clerk, asking that
the following parts of blocks be taken
out of fire-limit ordinance, viz: The
south half of 117, 118 and 119, (frora.Mc
Allister's three buildings to and in-"'
eluding the old site of Baker's barn, on
Tenth street), and the north half of 57,
58 and 59 (from the corner south of the
Lutheran church, to and including the
corner south of the Methodist church.)
A communication from William Becker
was also read asking that the east half
of the south half of block 60 be left out
of the limits.
Councilman Phillips Btated that the
ordinance had been before the council
for some time, and they had been desir
ous of having an expression of the sen
timent of citizens upon it. Judging
from the number of signatures to the
communication, the sontiment had
finally received expression. And while
ho had not changed his views as to the
desirability, so far as protection to busi
ness property jRras concerned, to have
theso half blocks- included within the
limits, still, if it was going to work a
hardship on any, he would move that
tho petitions as presented and the fire
limit ordinance be referred to tho com
mittee on fire with instructions to pre
pare an ordinance in coniormiiy witn
the petitions. Carried unanimously.
The bonds of Scott as herder, Cole
man as police, Plath as plumber, Whit

to him.
When the 'bond of A. J. Whitaker
came up for approval a petition signed
by D. F. Davis and others was present
ed, asking that the matter of street
sprinkling be open to tho competition of
bidders. Councilman Phillips said that
tho proposition of Mr. Whitaker had
been referred to the committee on streets
and grades, that through the several
papers of the city any who desired to do
tho work might have known that the
matter was under advisement; that the
timo from tho coming in of the council
to the season for the need of sprinkling
is short; that Mr. Whitakers work last
year gavo universal satisfaction, so far
as ho knew; that ho was fully equipped
for tho work, and it was not known that
any other could be in the limited time,
and that the committee, considering
theso things, had acted in good faith,
accepted Mr. Whitaker's proposition and
directed tho mayor to enter into con
tract with him, and that this had been
fully done by ex-Mayor Ragatz, and he
didn't bolievo that this action should bo
reconsidered. Tho bond was approved.
Tho petition concerning tho matter was
ordorcd placed on file.
J. R. Meagher, agent of the Union Pa
cific R'y Co., requested a continuation of
the water contract of the company with
tho city for tho next five years. On mo
tion of Gray referred to public property
and waterworks with instruction to re
port at the next meeting.
A communication from tho various
saloon-keepers of the city asked that
druggists bo mado to comply with the
law or tako out a saloon license tho same
as themselves. On motion of Phillips,
referred to tho committee on police.
Bids for city printing were read, The
Journal proposing one-third legal rates;
tho Telegram to publish in weekly and
daily at two-thirds legal rates; the Ar
gus, to p ro rate with ono or more other
other papers. Referred to committee on
printing.
The communication of Patrick Farley
asking for the use of Hanover square to
be planted to potatoes was referred to
committee on public property.
Tho communication of Police Judge,
II. J. Hudson, for a suitable docket for
his office, was referred to committee on
police.
A resolution by Newman in regard to
the plowing, leveling and seeding to
grass of Hanover and Fountain squares
was voted down.
A resolution that the city hall be.nsed
as the office of the city clerk and the.
council chamber was unanimously car
ried. "Are we to be buried alive?" in
voluntarily ejaculated Mayor Schup
bach. Ordinances providing londs to be
given by police judge and street com
missioner and to define the duties of the
city clerk were read first and second
time and referred to committee on ju
diciary. On motion of Newman, Councilmen
Phillips and Gray were appointed a
committee to visit Beatrice and Fremont
and learn all they could regarding their
public improvements, street - paving,
sewerage, grading, etc.
Water Commissioner Baker was in
structed to turn over all tho effects of
his office to his successor, and make a
full report by the next meeting.
Tho city attorney was instructed to
prepare the necessary papers in com
pliance with the action of the council,
for the opening of K and M streets.
W. O'Callahan asked for 875 damage
to a horse injured by getting into a
waterworks ditch. Referred.
Bills were allowed to the amount of
about $300.
Chief of police was directed to inspect
all sidewalks, order the same repaired
and report to the council all delinquents.
J. R. Meagher made complaint against
boys boarding trains, and against hotel
runners howling around the passengers
like wolves. Tho mayor assured him
that the nuisances Bhould be abated,
and immediately gave instructions to
the chief of police, who was present.
Adjourned to May 20.
The annual meeting of the"" old
settlers association of Platte county will
be held at the office of H. J. Hudson,
secretary, on Monday, May 30th, 1892, at

"Columbus is to haveapBfeer brick
.structure which will Jje.ijjjiicaament to
the city, and a goodiJJaMttht for its
proprietors, Messrs. Andersen & Roen,
and M. Brugger, and the four societies
of Masons, viz: the Blue Lodge, the
Chapter, the Council and the Com
raandery. The structure will be west of and ad-
L joining E. D. Fitzpatrick's brick block
on Thirteenth street. The building will
be of brick, the lower walls sixteen, the
upper thirteen inches in thickness. The
building will occupy a ground site of
forty-four feet six inches by one hun
dred feet. '
The lower story has already been leas
ed to J. A. Barber the Thirteenth street
dry-goods' merchant now occupying a
block four doors east, who will have a
fine room for the display of his goods,
one of the very largest and finest in Ne
braska. The front will have about
thirty feet of heavy plate glass, and the
room in every respect is to bo finished
with special reference to the convenience
of the lessee in carrying on his business.
It is expected that this part of tho
structure will be completed, ready for
occupancy, by tho 20th of September.
The upper story will bo entered, for
the presont, by a stairway on tho west
sido of tho building.
The lodge room proper will bo twenty
eight by forty-two feet, but tho entire
floor will bo divided into apartments
which in these days go to mako up the
first-class appointments of a Masonic
temple. Tho banquet room will bo
sufficiently largo, to seat three hundred
persons.
Thoro will be amplo light for tho en
tire buildings, tho front and rear of tho
upper story being ro-en forced by sky
lights. The cost of tho building is estimated
at ten to twelve thousand dollars, aud it
is safe to say that tho Masonic societies
of this city wJH have a homo not ex
celled by any in the state.
A. Anderson went to Omaha yesterday
morning to look after somo details of
tho plan, and bids will bo asked for and
contracts entered into for tho comple
tion of tho building just as soon as timo
will allow.

' Much trouble is experienced by hold;
era of promissory notes as well as by giv
ers of such. How much better for every
body would be a system of "cash down!"
in idl manner of business transactions?
Let makers aud takers think of it.
That sealskin cloak stolen from Mr.
D. Lynch's residence some time ago was
thrown down in the street near Mr. L's
house and found by a gentleman who is
above all suspicion, and returned to the
owner. An anonymous letter was found
in the bundle, stating that the person
who laid it down in the street had found
it in a haystack, but from fear of being
suspected as the thief had taken this
method of returning it. How stange!
Tho offer of u$50 reward and no questions
asked" was not tempting enough to bring
confession, mid yet it seems that con
science worked!
Platte Center is somewhat on a boom.
Mr. Stever is building a front part to his
residence, not very large but nice. Mr.
Hilger Greisen is building an addition in
the rear, and has had his barn moved
back. Mr. Parker Doody has built a new
stable and is moving his residence to 1st
street. Mr. Moffit has been planting a
lot of fine trees along the streets, and so
htis the lot for the new Roman Catholic
church been ornamented by trees plant
ed around it. Now if the building rises
up in the midst, it will be quite an addi
tion to the good bnildings of tho town.
Several new families have also moved
into the Center.
Mr. Waters, the former barber who
left Platte Center for Bellwood, has now
moved from the latter place to Norfolk,
and is sorry he ever left Platte Center.
"A rolling stone gathers no moss."
There is one great drawback for Platte
Center and also indirectly for Columbus
too, and that is the so-called "grade," a
road leading from the former place west
across Shell creek bottom to the bluffs.
Many farmers from the west and north
west of Platte Center, who would come
there and through there to Columbus aro
kept back by the condition of that road
through Shell creek bottom, and go else
where, and how easily could it be made
good! A little short ditch from a-point
say about a mile west of tho Center down
to Shell creek would let the water off to
that stream, and lay the road dry. One
furrow with a breaking plow followed by
one with a stirring plow would be suffi
cient to lot the water off, lay the road dry,
greatly facilitate travel to Platte Center
and to Columbus.
Old and even soft brickbats and rub
bish thrown into low swampy Bpota in
the road where the teams get stuck would
be much more apt to make them solid
than manure.
Mr. J. S. Henrich has moved his furni
ture to his temporary residence in the
new granary on his farm. This wet and
cold spring with bad roads made the mov
ing rather difficult and disagreeable, and
some of the fine Denver furniture did not
escape without damage. Mr. H. has al
ready planted a fine orchard and will put
up a comfortable residence. A good,
fast-growing windbreak is a necessity
around orchards and especially on the
southwest side. "
Farmers should not delay planting
corn on account of the cool, wet weather
only don't plant too deep. The writer
found by spading in bis garden May 1st
a graiu of corn well sprouted.
