The North Platte Local Irrigation

will result from the meeting. Nebraaka

Akkdt Schelp At the residence of
the bride's parents, in Grand Prairie
township, Wednesday, Nov. 29th, by
Bev. E. Holm, Mr. Ernest Arndt and
Miss Lizzie, eldest daughter of Hon.
William Schelp.
There were a hundred and twenty-five
invited guests in attendance, and the
wedding presents were nnmeroas and
valuable. The young couple start on
their life's journey with the kindest
wishes of all who know them.
Bbhulbcox Takkahuvl Nov. 30th,
at the residence of the bride's parents,
Columbus, Nelx, Mr. & R Brimblecom
and Miss Jennie Tanaahill, both of this
city, Rev. O. A. Elliott officiating.
The wedding was at 2 p. m. A sump
tuous dinner was then served. A num
ber of relatives were present. The
worthy young couple were remembered
nicely in several beautiful and useful
presents. The bride and groom have the
best wishes of their many friends here
who will be pleased to know that they
intend to start their new home in the
eastern part of our city.
The gentlemen's club rooms are the
main topic of conversation among the
men of the town at present. Four rooms
above Barber's store have been elegantly
furnished as parlors for reading and
games. Monday nigbt a business meet
ing wss held, 30 of the 56 members being
present. The temporary officers are G.
W. Phillips, president, J. T. Cox, secre
tary and O. T. Been, treasurer. The
object of the club is to furnish a pleasant
plaee, for- yasnar sssa especially, with
plenty of good reading matter and inno
cent games, one room being reserved for
smoking. Drinking, and gambling are
strictly prohibited. About one hundred
dollars will be spent yearly for reading
material. Members will be permitted to
bring visiting friends who will be allow
ed the privileges of the club. The rooms
will be kept in order by a janitor, and
open from 9 a. m to midnight. The
name selected is the Viking club.
The Forum Publishing Co. of New
York, with the December number, have
begun a departure in that class of peri
odicals, cutting the price in two, but not
lessening the quantity, nor lowering the
quality of the reading matter. For $3 a
year or 25 cents a number, you can now
get The Forum, which stands at the
head of the great periodicals which give
attention to topics of current interest,
political, educational and social. In the
number before us there are fifteen arti
cles, and among the subjects treated of
are: "Child-Study: the Basis of Exact
Education;" "A Plan to Free the Schools
from Politics;" "Are Presidential Ap
pointments for Sale?"; "Need, not of
'More Money,' but Better Exchange."
The Forum is not only a model of liter
ary excellence, but it is also a very fine
specimen of the printer's art, creditable
to any publishing firm.
Those who sat by their warm fires
Thanksgiving day and who had a fnll
and satisfying meal did well if they
thought of those who might be in need;
they did better, if they had helped some
worthy poor to the better enjoyment of
the day; they did better still if they
helped one or more to help themselves.
The Journal reporter, in his rounds,
has learned of one lady of the city who
did magnificently in the way of help to
those who needed it; one whose generous
heart opened to the needs of a stranger
woman and her little ones, and whose
generosity is evidently of the genuine
kind which wishes to be hid from view.
If all good impulses were instantly acted
upon the world of meanness would soon
be gone.
There are several things talked of on
the new school-house question. You can
see in the board proceedings two offers
on building sites; there are several
others in contemplation. Some think
that the new house ought to be as near
to the body of children as possible.
There is talk of putting up a building
west of the Meridian line and selling the
Third ward house, lot and all. It is
well enough to talk over matters; some
thing must be done within the next
year, and the planB will probably be for
mulated within the next two months.
Those interested in the new school
building, which will doubtless be the
most costly yet erected in the city,
should bestir themselves.
If you wish to find out at any time
whether somebody has a lien on your
real estate, a better investment than the
fee-simple or even than a mortgage at 8
or 10 per cent, because this lien bears 20
per cent from its date, ask the county
treasurer to show you the tax sales. If
yon don't wish to bother with such
things but once a year, and know that
ydu have not paid your taxes, go to the
county clerk's office and see the list of
sales required by law to be there filed
annually by the county treasurer on or
before the first Monday in December.
Our Monday morning's mail brought
us a very valuable suggestion, the first
words being: "Do you want a snap?
We were obliged to take, in settlement
of a claim, a lot of watches, etc., etc."
The circular sets forth what can be done
for $11 in the way of purchasing a
watch, and what bargains can be had for
$25 to $27. There is no danger of our
ordering any of these goods, but some
of you fellows who have an extra quarter
of a hundred about your persons will do
well to consider twice before you bite.
The school board were informed
Monday evening that on one of their
properties in the city there is a lien for
taxes for 1884. Of course the parties
responsible to pay the same are reliable
and the city will loose nothing; it leads
us to remark, however, that every once
in a while there is turning up some item
of this Bort, and it seems to The Jour
nal that there should be a notification
required by law in all such cases.

for laying sidewalks along lots 5,0, 7 and
8, block 43; 1 and 8, block 77, and 1 and
8, block 100, and directing tho city attor
ney to draft the proper notice for publi
cation in The Jocrxai four times, be
ginning with Dec. Ctb.
At this stage of the proceedings Coun
cilman Spcorry made u statement that
ex-Night Policeman Drane, whoso resig
nation had been accepted, had had, with
a companion, three drinks of liquor each,
on Sunday morning, in Constable Mc
Taggart's saloon. Ho didn't think it
was right to punish the policeman and
let the saloon-keeper go free, and ho a
peace-officer too, recently elected. Be
sides, he said, McTaggart, Leo. Boro
wiak, Thomas Flynn and the Brandt's
have not yet paid their occupation tax,
or any part of it, $250 for each estab
lishment, although the council had
ordered enforced collection to be made
by last July 1st.
Following this was the adoption of a
resolution in the nature of a communi
cation to Mayor Schupbach, informing
him that it is the sense of the city coun
cil that any fnrther delay in forcing the
collection of delinquent license tax is
unjust to the best interests of the city.
The roll was called, and those voting
aye were: Galley, Hoffman, Newman,
Spoerry; no Welch; Gray explaining
that had there been a tie, as presiding
officer he would have voted in favor of
the resolution.
The bills of J. D. Brewer, A. Heintz,
Is. Schreiber, R. Jenkinson, Van Schoik,
Becher, Jaeggi & Co., H. Hughes and
Smith & Foster were referred to appro-
Eriate committees, most of them not
aving the "O K" of the proper officers
of the council.
The following bills were approved and

Local Knilronil Miatt.-r.
Long ago wo learned that the only safe
plan is to note "improvements" as they
rise, in that way you get tho facts. It is
sometimes appropriate to givo what is
going in tho way of rumor -and tako it
for what it is worth.
Tho facts aro that tho Union Pacific
has a force of men at work laying an
extra track north of tho main line, and
east from the passenger depot. Humor
is that a now freight depot is to be plac
ed on about tho sito of tho planing mill
that burned down, or on M street, north
of the Lindell Houso. Fact is thai tho
old freight depot is a rattle trap, but
having been used so long, it can doubt
less be utilized another winter. It is in
tho middle of the street, and it would bo
most excellent policy for tho company
hereafter to keep out of tho middle of
tho street in tho erection of its buildings
it hinders tho development of streots,
and angers property owners on such
streots, because, as a rulo, they havo to
submit to the injustice, oven after doing
an immense amount of unavailing
kicking.
Iintnor is that the 1!. k SI. aro going to
build a new depot on the sito of the old
one, and also extend their line out from
this place, in which direction, Humor
does not vouchsafe to say.
The truth is that tho old building
onght to. bo replaced by a first-class
structure, but it ought not to bo put in
the middle of a street, and cross streets
should not bo blocked up any moro than
absolutely necessary.
By all means let the good work go on.
Everj' good building erected adds to tho
value of all tho property in the city.
