and three-fourths pounds. This is very
good for land that a few years ago was

In another place we give space to an
article describing what appears to be the
best project yet named for water power
for Omaha and vicinity. It seems that
this line has been under advisement for

there a question but what Columbus may
lie one of the greatest manufacturing
centers in the west. Read Mr. Lawren
ce's communication in toil ay's JoritXAti

mills, and other enterprises in propor
tion; that Texas is out of debt, and has
$6,000,000 in her school fund.
Newspaper folks do not limit the
freedom of joking fun is free, with them,
at all seasons, and on that score, the fol
lowing from the Central City Courier
goes withont comment: "Tho Columbus
Journal last week, for the first time we
think in the past fourteen years, failed
to get ont on Wednesday afternoon. Not
even the annual tax list struggle has
disturbed this regularity. Such an un
paralleled record for a country paper
leads one to tho belief that Bro. Turner
goes to press a week ahead of time and
holds his paper until its date comes
around."

his ward in the same office, is now a
member of the council, and has, on all
occasions, evidenced good judgment and
marked ability in the discharge of his
duties. Of course, being a man of ability
his view of things is not always the same
as some other people may have, but he is
a clear thinker and says, straight out,
what he thinks. The Third has had and
will continue to have a good member in
Mr. Gray, who by the way, has had tho
honor of lieing president of the council
the past term.
Pat. Murray is selling off his stock
and implements, and is going to quit
farming. Pat. has been a stand-by farm
er ever since we saw Platte county in
1859, and though there has been much
fault found with him, we havo tho first
instance to hear of where Pat. would not
give a man work at some price. And
Murray has always raised geod crops.
He raised the first good crop of corn we
saw in the county; said he raised it to
show his neighbors that this was a corn
country, which was generally denied.
There are many good points about Pat.
Murray. Looking Glass.
The Wochenblatt says that W. R.
Notestein, republican candidate for city
clerk, "cannot read his own scribbling."
If this were true, he certainly would not
be a fit candidate for the important
position. The fact is that Mr. Notes
tein has been in business eight years,
and has during that time been secretary
of a number of organizations, and has
always been able to write a fair hand
which any ordinary person is able to
read readily. Such lies will do Mr.
Notestein no injury with thoso who
know him. Simply because a man hap
pens to be born in America is no reason
why lie should be foully abused and
lied about.
Mr. Burns, an expert engineer from
Oklahoma, is here, and in connection
with Bert Arnold, city engineer, is mak
ing a survey with a view to ascertaining
the practicability of a water power canal
for the city. There is no question as to
the quantity of water, but there is as to
the length of the canal, the amount of
fall and the cost all important consid
erations, of course, but nothing ont of
reach of the enterprise of the business
men and citizens of tho city. We learn
that Mr. Burns says if we have a fall of.
seven feet to the mile in the Loup, we
ought to have a fall of one and one-fourth
feet to the mile in the canal, and heuce
the distance to go up stream will depend
upon the fall wanted at the wheel.
The tirade of abuse of Notestein by
the Wochenblatt will certainly make
him votes, and a goodly number of them,
too. To call a fair-minded, honorable
business man and citizen "a deceitful,
sneaking hypocrit, a deceiving sneaking
character, into whose eyes one only
needs to look in order to see the Iscariot,
the unstable blood-hound, such as are
only looking for robbery and betraval of
their fellows" is snch a gross, glaring
outrage of decency on the part of a
newspaper, that voters who know of it
will naturally resent it. There must be
some motive for it. outside that of trying
to elect William Becker to the office of
city clerk, and such a motive has no
business in this campaign.
