Ik draining a slough on a farm up
near Kearney last week, the owner of the

A man who saw t he scramble for land
at the opening of Oklahoma and the

vogue, which caused so much trouble
and dissatisfaction, and doubtless some
useless shedding of blood. He says that
under this system nobody but a prize
fighter or a foot-racer had any show in
the opening. Tha secretary of the inte
rior recommends the adoption of a sys
tem of choice by lot so that one needn't
be as strong as an ox of as fleet as a
reindeer to get a chance at the best land.
It seems that any reform in this direc
tion must come through the action of
congress.
Whkk one stops to think of it
there are very few states in the Union
where the average farmer knows tha
difference between blooded and com
mon stock. A few stock farms there
always are where horses and cattle of
registered pedigree are kept, for fancy
prices, as a whim of the owner. But
the mass of the farming community
looks at this as a mere fad, without
commercial excuse, and believes tha
common horse and cow as good fot
the common purpose of farming life
as animals in whose veins runs the
blood of costly and carefully bred

Tiie magnitude of Nebraska's fund for
the education of the children in the
public schools is appreciated by few.
According to a statement of Land Com
missioner Humphrey there is S4,700,9ftt
invested in bonds, in addition to which
there is $4,295,440 in notes in the vaults
of the commissioner, these notes bearing
interest at the rate of six per cent. The
proceeds of this nine millions and the
lease money of 2,000,000 acres of unsold
school lands constitute the temporary
school fund disbursed every six months
for the benefit of the districts of the
state. The people of Nebraska have
good reason to congratulate themselves
upon the wise and ample provision that
has been made for the education of the
young. It is a munificent inheritance
and with its steady accretions from year
to year, in another generation it will
probably reach 850,000,000. Fremont

The question of the right of physi
cians, lawyers and other professional
men to advertise their calling in the
public newspapers has long been a
subject of controversy, but here, as in
England, it has been held by the dom
inant sentiment of both the leading
professions that advertising their
business is unbecoming, and in many
localities the penalty is dismissal from
the fellowship of their associates. Re
cently an English dentist had his
name stricken from the medical regis
ter for having advertised his calling,
and in this country, while the profes
sional rules are less stringent it is ac
cepted as unprofessional for lawyers or
doctors to advertise in the newspapers.
As MOUEKN' social life is constituted,
complete mental rest for days and
weeks together, says a contemporary,
is necessary, in periods more or less
frequent for every brain-worker. By
rest indeed the writer does not mean
self-imposed inactivity or banishment
from all else but ourselves and our
thoughts, for. with Cowper. he be
lieves that '-absence of occupation is
not rest a mind quite vacant is a
mind distressed." Probably this kind
of mental inaction is seldom neces
sary, or even advisable. But besides
the directly physical benefits of cessa
tion from professional work, change
of air. and other slight changes, rest
ful elements are to be fought in the
semi-emotional semi-intellectual rec
reation of music and art and of un
familiar scenery; in such social exer
cises as acting and play-going, debat
ing, singing and dancing; and. above
all, in the pleasures of friendships aar
social intercourse.
Washington Letter.
.From ohr regular correspondent. 1
Can the Cleveland tariff bill be defeat
ed in the house? That was the import
ant question considered at a secret
conference of democratic members of the
house who are opposed to the bill, or at
least to those portions of it that full
heavily on industries in their respective
districts. I have learned that the mem
bers of this conference decided to take
advantage of their visits home for the
holidays to ascertain the sentiment of
their constituents, and determine that if
they were, as they believe them to be,
against the clauses of the Cleveland bill
that affect their own industries, but they
would combine against those particular
schedules of the bill and if the demo
cratic caucus, to be held as soon as
congress comes together again, refused
to amend the bill to meet their wishes,
they would in a body decline to be
bound by the action of the caucus and
would vote against the entire bill. The
importance of this conference depends
altogether on the number of votes it can
control. Statements as to the number
in attendance vary, ranging from 5 to 50.
The administration men who have heard
about it say that it is only a bluff on the
part of a handful of members, to secure
amendments favorable to their constitu
ents, and a good many republicans are
disposed to regard it in the same light.
Republicans do not expect to see the bill
either defeated or materially changed in
the house, bnt they have an abiding
faith that it will have to be radically
changed before it can get through the
senate, and they are not without hope of
its being absolutely defeated in that
body. Closing manufactories, failing
merchants, millions unemployed, many
of them suffering for lack of the necessi
ties of life, and the cessation of the pay
ment of dividends by all classes of cor
porations are bound to have some effect
in the senate, if not in the house.
Notwithstanding Secretary Carlisle's
refusal to allow members of the G. A. R.
to solicit contributions in the treasury
department for the annual Christmas
dinner for the families of indigent mem
bers of the organization, an ample fund
was secured for that purpose and the
materials for a first-class Christmas din
ner were delivered to the families of 663
comrades, and in addition shoes and
clothing to those who needed them. It
takes more than the refusal of a request
by a member of the cabinet to upset the
customs of the G. A. R.
An amusing incident of the strange
fear of assassination which has taken
possession of Mr. Cleveland and the men
who are prominent in supporting his
policy, even when it is necessary for
them to turn complete somersaults to do
so, is causing a broad smile all over the
town. The other day a son of Senator
Mills, who comes from a state which has
long prided itself on fearless men, ap
plied to the police authorities for a per
mit to carry a pistol to protect his father
from a mysterious assassin, who, he said,
had threatened to kill him. The permit
was granted him, and young Mr. Mills
went on his way rejoicing in his license
to carry a gun, not expecting that any
newspaper man wonld ever know any
thing about it. That's where he was
L. o opo-pci uiau UUL Ulll I
found it ouCblif hepnnTed it, and the
brave Texa&senator and his armed body
guard became .the butts upon which the
ridicule which had been accumulating
on account of certain more or less absurd
precautions which had been taken at the
White House and the Capitol to keep
out men feared to be upon murder bent,
was poured without stint. The Texas
senator, be it known, is a man of fiery
temper. When he saw the publication
and observed the manner in which peo
ple eyed him he became furious. He
claims to have known nothing about the
permit until he saw the publication.
The sequel came out Saturday afternoon,
when young Mills with disheveled hair
and wild eyes rushed into the police
court and asked that the permit issued
to him he cancelled. There is a double
moral to this story. First, don't get
frightened; second, don't expect to suc
ceed in hiding things from newspaper
men.
The attempt on the part of Secretary
Lamont to compel the 500 clerks who
occupied the old Ford's theatre building
at the time of the awful accident to go
back into that old death trap, which has
been patched up to the extent of $6,000,
has been temporarily frustrated by a
report of the local building inspector,
declaring the building unsafe. A reso
lution is pending in the senate declaring
against the use of this building for cler
ical purposes again. Even if the build
ing were perfectly safe it would still be
an unnecessary cruelty to force the
clerka who were there when tho accident
took place to again occupy it.

and Mr. Korth stands responsible for
the loss. It is not generally supposed
that Mr. Korth is guilty of the embez

and that he has trusted too much to the
honesty of others, while the money has
disappeared through channels of which

of the town and vicinity and are Samuel
Connolly, Fred Schmit, Peter Schad and

be of one opinion and that is, that they
will find little if any trouble in securing
the necessary funds with which to build
a neat little edifice suitable for a congre
gation of at least fifty families, there
being about that number which would
rightfully belong to the Lindsay parish.
However, it is hoped the matter will not
be dropped until the church is built.

City Coanril.
Council met Friday evening in special
session for the purpose of making assess
ments upon lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, block 43; 1
and 8 in block 65; 1 and 8 in block 77;
1 and 8 in block 100.
The notice for the special meeting, as
published in The Jourxjil was read by
the clerk.
On motion of Gray, the notice was
ordered spread upon the record, and
placed on file.
The committee on streets and grades
offered a resolution making the assess
ments according to the expense incurred
in laying sidewalks, which was adopted.
On motion of Gray council adjourned.
The mayor immediately called the
council in special session for hearing
reports and communications.
Councilman Galley said that the water
supply of the city was insufficient, and
that, owing to this, the machinery was
not working as easily as it ought to do.
Pumping from 6 to 1130 results in only
25 feet of water in the stand pipe. The
water commissioner estimates the in
crease in running expenses consequent
upon the lack of water at S2.50 per day.
The plant was all right for some years
after it was built, but there are 75 more
consumers of water this year than before,
and the water supply is less. The com
mittee do not feel like letting the mat
ter go without remedy, and insist that
ways and means be found to furnish
more water.
Water Commissioner Schroeder being
called upon said that Mr. Galley had
stated the facts in the case. He sug
gested that another sj stein of drive
wells might be put in. There would be
several points of advantage in this.
There is no lack of power, and if one
pump should give way the other could
be used while it was being mended. In
case of fire it was pretty difficult to give
notice to all, and with another system of
drive wells, the supply to consumers
might be continued even during a fire.
He spoke of a suggestion that an addi
tional supply might be drawn from the
Loup or from Stevens's lake, using a
reservoir through which to filter; in that
case wooden pipes could be used, and,
they were much cheaper. He thought
an additional system of drive wells, say
80 to 100 feet square, north of the engine
house, wonld be a good piove the put
ting in of such a plant would only tem
porarily interfere with travel on the
street.
In answer to a question by Gray, as to
what other cities were doing, Mr. Schroe
der said that along tho Platte valley, the
open well system has lieen abandoned,
and the drive wells are in use. At
Schuyler they have ti-inch tules and
smaller, and are in worse shape than we
are. At Grand Island they have 72,
2-inch drive wells, and 4, 6-inch ones, and
claim that these are of considerable
assistance. At Kearney they have drive
wells, and in case of fire can draw a
supply from the canal. At Central City,
not much water is used. At Fremont
they put up an additional stand pipe;
the supply is all from drive wells.
In answer to a question by Welch, Mr.
Schroeder said that York had drawn
water from the Blue river, but it was so
dissatisfactory to citizens that it was
abandoned for 6-inch tubular wells.
There is so much water demanded now
that it is absolutely necessary for the
city to do something to increase the
supply. The Union Pacific company is
using about as much water as all the city
besides, their bill for last month being
8178.
Mr. Galley, of the committee, stated
that they would have a written report
ready for the next meeting of the council,
on the subject, but thought it best to
call attention now.
During the evening, City Attorney
Whrtmoyer gave his opinion upon a
matter referred to him, in regard to the
license-tax ordinance. Those who are in
business at the beginning of the license
year (May), or who start in before Nov.
1st, are liable for the year's tax; those
who enter business after the end of the
first six months are liable for a half
yearly rate; he gave it as his opinion
that payment on this basis could be en
forced against each parly doing business,
whether he succeeded to the business of
another or not.
I. Gluck appeared before the council
and stated that in regard to matters con
cerning himself, not being a speaker he
had written out what he had to offer, and
proceeded to read the following. Those
of us who were present didn't think for
a moment, after he finished reading and
started in with the oral part, that there
was any necessity for Mr. Gluck's depre
cating his ability to speak out what he
wanted to say:
Gentlemen: I come before this coun
cil as one of the heaviest tax paying citi
zens of this city and county, for the
purpose of finding out why I am to lie
made the scapegoat of this council
through the connivance of a certain indi
vidual who is at present unfortunately a
memler of this council, for violating the
ordinance of the fire limits. I have
always since I have lived in this commu
nity tried to and have lived up to the
laws and regulations of this city, and
intend to do so in the future, and if,
with regard to my office building, I have
violated the ordinances of the city (which
for arguments sake I will admit), yon
have under the law a perfect right to
prosecute me and I shall stand and abide
by the consequences. Bnt I want this
council distinctly to understand that I
do not want to be treated any worse than
anybody else who has violated this ordi
nance. I am willing if I have violated
any law to be prosecuted, but I shall
never consent for any one man, or even
this council to persecute me. This ordi
nance was passed about 20 months ago,
and there have been prior to mine about
four violations of this ordinance com
mitted, but never has there been prior to
mine a single complaint made about it,
either by the police or by any individual
member of this council, and even the
watch dog of this council not excepted.
But as soon as, and even before I moved
within the fire limits and when I was
yet on the old stand, but making arrange
ments to move, there comes along the
honorable councilman from the First
ward and commands Mr. Dick Jenkin
son, who was preparing to move, in the
name of the city of Columbus to desist,
which he did, as I was not present. I
want to ask this council in the name of
justice and fairness what right had this
individual there? Did he not assume
authority which does not belong to him,
nor to any member of this council, nor to
anybody else, and it goes plainly to show
that there was and that there still is
spite, malice and ill-will behind him. I
then moved onto the fire limits and the
first thing he did when the council met
was to bring complaint against me before
this council. I met the gentleman the
next day on the street and told him of
three more violations of the fire ordi
nance, and requested him to also look
after them but he has yet failed to com
plain against them or take any notice of
them. It is true I was before this coun
cil about six weeks ago and promised to
either move or comply with the ordi
nance within 30 days and have failed to
do either, but I don't see bnt what the
council has also failed to do its duties
for I notified the council at the time of
the other violations, and this honorable
body has as yet not even seen fit to notify
those violators.
I will finally say to this council that I
am willing to be prosecuted, but I will
not stand the injustice of this council to
be individually persecuted on the mere
say so of a person who want3 to let out
his spite and malice on me and whose
only object in this matter is to annoy
and harrass me exclusively and not in
good faith trying Jo enforce the laws im
partially. I do not want to ascribe any
wrong motives to this council for sing
ling me out from a half dozen violators
of this fire ordinance, but it looks to the
man up a tree as if the location, where
the act has been committed has a good
deal to do with this persecution.
After a few questions by Councilman
Spoerry touching some of the declara
tions in Mr. Gluck's speech, on motion of
Gray the council adjourned.
