The Columbus Journal with com mendable enterprise, calls the attention of land owners to the fact that interest at the rate of 20 per cent is allowed on land sold for taxes. The Journal thinks this too high, and as land security is taken by lenders on the smallest inter est and no prior claim gets ahead of taxes, we think five per cent is enough, especially as the land cannot escape, f Monroe Looking Glass. S. D. Adkins, secretary of the Y. M. C. A who has been here for the past few months, on a salary of $40, has had a fine offer from Pana, Illinois. We have not learned whether he has accepted it or whether the association here will make a special' effort to retain him. Cer tainly he has endeared himself to a host of people in the city by the evident honesty of his purposes, and the hearti ness of his work. James Kiernan,supervisor for Wood ville township, was in the city, being one of the committee appointed to prepare the annual settlement with the county treasurer. The other members of the committee, Nels Olson of Creston, and Henry Biokert of Bismark, were not present, the hitter on account of the illness of his son, the former doubtless having some good reason for his absence. Christmas seemed to be a very happy time with Columbus people. Most of the business houses were closed a goodly portion of the time, and the cares of office and store were at least partially submerged in the joys and pleasures of the day, which above all others in the year, has come to represent in the popu lar mind something of what is meant by Peace on earth, good will among men. Carl Kramer has organized at Omaha The Nebraska Collecting Company. His family will remain here for the present Mr. Kramer is one of .the most accom modating men in the world, and this land. generally make good collectors for other, people than themselves. We haven't any doubt that close attention to business will bring him a considerable revenue in his new business venture. J. P. Olson, foreman at the U.

He Uy in the hospital when the battle was fought So says the Schuyler Qnili Dont forget the entertainment on the 4th, at the opera bouse.

The spirit of progress carries everything forward and the year 1894 will doubtless find important changes for us alL Necessity, said long ago to be "the mother of .invention," and spoken with reference to the ad vances made in the application of scienoe to the mechanical world, ia about to turn her attention to matters mental and spiritual. The law of gravitation has been fully set forth; the worship of mammon has been almost universal and unstinted. Now must come a different order of things, or mankind lose the true secret of life, which is not living only, but right living, the instant result of right thinking, the instant result again of right motives. This, doubtless, is the burden of the christian's prayer: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.'' It is the direction in which we are traveling that counts. If we wish to reach New York we would not act wisely by starting in the direc tion of Halifax and keeping on that way. The Nebraska association of sheriffs had a session in Lincoln last week; Sheriff Kavanaugh was present, and was appointed one of the committee on griev ances. Of course, all classes of people have such things as these, but what do our sheriffs want more? They are sup posed to be peace-officers. Do they desire to see more people come into court? More rows kicked up, so that they will have more business? Or do they want their fees raised these hard times? What is the matter, gentlemen, that you must take valuable time and spend hard earn ed money going to and from Lincoln to have an opportunity to talk over your grievances? If there is really anything for the good of the general publio that you have in mind, let the people know what it is, but why go about "grieving," when you could so readily resign, and see your places filled by just as good men, to say the least, at the same price? Several years ago Bev.' William Pit tenger wrote a book called "Daring and Suffering,'' giving a very graphic descrip tion of the raid made by 22 Union sol diers of the 2d, 21st and 23d Ohio regi ments, acting under the orders of Gen. O. M. Mitchel, in which a train of cars was captured in Georgia, in 1862, from the enemy's camp, surrounded by 10,000 armed rebel soldiers. W. J. Knight, the engineer of the expedition, the first to board the train and the last to leave it, will be here Jan. 4th to portray, in thrill ing language, and many life-aixe oil paintings, the capture of the train, the escape, cutting the telegraph wires, tear ing up track and burning bridges, the pursuit by rebels, the hanging of seven, plot to capture the jailer, capture of the guards, the pursuit by blood-hounds, eta, the whole forming one of the most daring adventures in the annals of war. A letter received from W. B. Backus is quite interesting. He says his health is good, prospects excellent, appetite ravenous. If the sun shines ths dogs bark themselves hoarse for joy. He mentions the following former residents of Platte county, who are now there, and says they are all well: Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Hurd, Mary Brownlow, Annie Paul eon (nee Luth), Miss Ella Luth, John Fucha, formerly from Humphrey, now a member of legislature, Joseph Coleman, Ada Morrison, (nee Smith), and Mrs. Waldron. The Puget Sound Mail saya, in reference to a Hunting party: "We are informed that Mr. Backus, the law yer who recently arrived from Colambns, Nebraska, and has been a guest of M. P. Hurd the past week, had the honor of killing the first deer, even if he waa a tenderfoot.'' J. I. Wolf ord has been again heard from. Our readers may remember that he is one of the colony that. went from Colfax county to Olds, Alberta, Britieh Columbia, last summer. They broke up aome land and raised a few vegetables. He thinks that the country is good and that next year they will have abundance. When he wrote, the thermometer waa ranging from 30 to 35 degrees belew zero, and yet the weather was not un comfortably cold, there being no wind.

OeVaney, tfca Wife M nrderer, vaa His Jailer's life. Last Thursday evening at about 530, as Thomas Gentleman, the jailor at the county's lock-up was about to give them "feed" for the evening, a thing unusual happened. The iron cure, which stands in the middle of the jail, has two cells which both open into a little hallway along the side of the cage. - One of these contains Debaney, the man charged with the murder of his wife in Nance county. The other is just now occupied by another of Nance county's criminals, John Boler, charged with snooting a man, and the man Pier eon, who burglarized and robbed a jew elry store in Humphrey the other night. Pierson confessed to Gentleman that he and Boler had planned all day how they-would "do him up" and get out of "durance vile." When Gentleman opened the outer door of the cage, instead of finding all as it should be, he was struck over the head and face with a chair leg handled by Pierson, and dropped to the floor. It seems that Boler, being rather cow ardly, was not so quick as the agreed pun called for, and Debaney, fearing that his jailor waa about to be murdered, got a poker and went at Boler with it. Gentleman recovered oonsciousness, got on to his feet, and called upon Debaney to keep at his work, aaying: "Dont be afraid, Debaney, you and me can get away with them." And they did, put ting them back into their cells all right. It is an old trick of prisoners, this of waylaying the man who feeds them, and escaping, from the dull and dreary walls of their living entombment It shows that they have a very lively sense of the value of liberty, if they do not take the bast means of keeping and using that liberty by cultivating a "constant and perpetual disposition to render every man his due."
