meanest imaginable crimes, the killing
of a valuable horse, for 6ome fancied
grudge, perhaps, against its owner. The
man who would do such a thing would
commit murder if he thought it neces
sary, and had an opportunity where
there was no possibility of his getting
hurt himself. Cowards they are, as a
matter of course; such men never have
even a trace of true courage about them,
which always includes the moral ele
ment, and it is this lack that makes such
characters more to be dreaded than a
roaming mad dog. Justice overtakes
them at last.
Died, on Monday, January 9, of con
sumption, Mrs. E. J." Ernst, aged thirty
two years. Sho was born in Switzerland,
became a resident of this country in
1S71, and was married to Julius Ernst in
1879. their homo being on a lino farm on
Shell Creek, northwest of this city. Tho
funeral was held on Wednesday from tho
St. John's Lutheran chnrch. Rev. Hantol
conducting tho services. This death is
made moro sad bv the fact that only re
cently three children have been buried
by tho parents, then camo tho death of
tho father, and now the saddest blow of
all, the wifo dios and the husband, with
four small children aro left. It is indeed
a sorrowful time for them. Schuyler
Quill. The Journal unites with Mr.
Ernst's many friends here in tendering
heartfelt sympathy in his soro bereave
ment. We find tho following paragraph in
a late number of tho Schuyler Sun. Wo
clip it to show Platte county school men
what their neighbors are doing, and also
to say that theso things are just like our
old friend Snyder: "We heard some
comments on tho uooa condition ot a
school houso tho oilier day! Strange?
Thero aro fow people who travel tho
road past the school houso in district 13,
who do not havo some words of admira
tion for it. It is surely a credit to tho
neighborhood as woll as tho director,
Wm. Snyder. Tho house is always woll
painted. Tho windowlights aro all in.
Good curtains hang at tho windows.
The out-buildings are in good repair. A
substantial walk is laid from tho road to
the house. If the houso is as well fur
nished inside as out, and it very likely
is, tho residents of the district have
reason to take pride in their school
building."
V. Sudik of Schuyler has been
troubled with varicose veins in his legs
below the knee, and Saturday week ono
of these burst, and ho began to bleed
profusely. Before doctors arrived, he
lost more than a gallon of blood one
minute more of bleeding, and life would
havo been extinct. The Quill, from
which we glean, further says: "Dr.
Crabbs tells us that in varicose veins
thero is danger nlways. Veins aro com
posed of threo coats nnd by reason of
somo violent exerciso usually tho inner
coat is ruptured and then tho two outer,
elastic coats extend and tho blood fills
tho space, thus causing lumps or knots
to appear. Tho stagnant blood soon
causes ulcers to appear and ero long tho
vein breaks and unless tho How ot blood
is stopped the porson will soon bleed to
death. In case of varicose veins a Bilk
elastic stocking is worn on tho leg,
drawn on tight, and after a timo naturo
heals tho sores and even removes tho
trouble entirely."
Tho long looked for farcial comedy,
"The Rag Baby," was last night present
ed to a large, oager and expectant audi
ence. For weeks "The Rag Baby" has
been talked of till tho people of tho
muchly worked city seemed last night to
turn out en masse to seo what was to bo
seen. Tho curtain rose amid the buzz of
excitement, and when the upening char
acters made their appearanco it seemed
liko tho play was to be one of common
place dialogue, but it was quickly chang
ed as the different characters appeared.
New and comic situations, songs, dances
and dialogues wore introduced, and when
the curtain fell upon the first act the
audience was convulsed with laughter
and merriment. Tho second and third
acts were something entirely new, and as
bright and witty as could be wished, but
the developments of tho last act is what
gives tho main interest which holds the
audience. To say tho least, tho company
and play was more than had been ex
pected, therefore none were disappointed.
It will be some timo before "Tho Rag
Baby" is forgotten, and as tho company
is booked to return next season we can
look forward to it with pleasure. Gal

It is evidently intended that tho
democratic party, or rathor the inner
circle of tho democratic party shall con
trol the county board of supervisors
through the work of committees during
tho coining year in other words, fix tho
committees, and the work in tho com
mittees, and then, through courtesy to
supervisors on tho same, adopt their re
ports without scrutinizing so very close
ly. This plan will not work to your
entiro satisfaction, gentlemen. Thero
are men on your board who were not
consulted when this lino of procedure
was determined upon, and who aro
abundantly able to seo through your
performances, past and prospective, and
who will have something to say in these
matters; there aro a majority of fair-
minded men on the board, but they
ought to got together, and get together
promptly. You can see why. Your
main business is to keep down expenses
in overy direction, buy only what is
needed," get your money's worth, and
allow no one to work any schemes on
you. If all your number were actuated
by theso principles, tho work before yon
would not be so very difficult; as thoy
are not, you will see some lively times,
if you do your full duty. In our expe
rience with deliberative bodies, wo have
noticed that there are somo men whoso
innate good nature, and bashfulness,
diffidence or lack of self-assertion put
them to a disadvantage until they come
to know just how to gauge themselves,
and then such men make the very best
of members. It always reminds us of
tho story of tho two sisters traveling on
a steamboat for tho first time with their
father. Tho younger ono was so bashful
and backward that sho was likely to go
liuncrv becauso she didn't properly
assert her needs at tho table. Her older
sister, knowing how it was, remarked:
"Dip into tho gravy, Sal, dad pays as
much as any of them." Now, that is
vour case. You are a member of the
board, not for your own individual inter
est only, but also for your township and
tho county, and, whether you believe it
or not, your county follow-citizens know
you for what you do, and not for what
you think yon are. If any man, whether
of your number, or whether a citizen,
thinks you should pay exorbitant bills
for what you may havo done, or that any
ono is entitled to special ravor lor any
reason, let him know in the most em
phatic way that he must reckon on your
opposition every timo.

Notwithstanding that this may seem to
bo tho outcome of Supervisor Speice's
resolution offered at tho last meeting of
the board, it met then and there no
opposition whatever, and seems, (on the
face of it, at least), to bo a very appro
priate thing to do just at this point. It
may be well enough for the people of the
county who pay the taxes and foot the
bills to keep their eye on the gun, and

Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castoria.
Some four or fivo boys got ahead of
the other '-kids" of the crowd, Tuesday
evening of last week, and received the
treat-money from the bride-groom and
kept it for themselves, which is consid
ered a very mean trick by the boys who
were left. In fnturo ages, when the his
torian, delving among tho records of
these times for pictures of tho social ani
business life of our generation, for the
first time strikes a picture of boys and
men, with tin-pans for drums, and tin
horns of all sorts, shapes and sizes for
music horns, and thaf acme of sound-
producing mechanism; the horse-fiddle,
and also that other creature of man's
device the store-box, resin and long
bow combination, ho will wonder how in
the world the idea of a wedding ever got
mixed up with such a demonstration of
vigorous hilarity and nonsense. If he
will be fully able to comprehend it as
applicable to any and every case of con
jugal union, it will be a mental feat that
none of this present timo have been able
to perform, and it will be only possible
for him, as for us, to say that it isa relic
of a prior age, modified in spirit, and
lingering because a better way had not
yet been found for young lads and half
grown men to vent their exuberance on
a wedding occasion.
