One of our farmer acquaintances
relies almost implicitly upon Hicks to
tell him what the weather is going to be
days ahead, and makes his calculations
accordingly. When weather prophets
can come near enough so that practical
men can move by their prognostications,
they are getting their calculations pretty
fine.
Attendants at the court house have
no doubt that Debney is insane. His
attorneys, Albert & Reeder, have receiv
ed word that the supreme court has
granted a stay of proceedings in his
case, which will at least place the execu
tion in abeyance until the merits of his
case have been passed upon by that
court.
Fred. Schaad, who has been so long
a sufferer from stomach trouble, passed
quietly and peacefully away early on the
morning of Tuesday, March 6th. In
him Platte county has lost one of her
best citizens. He will be greatly missed
by all who knew him. We have not
learned when the funeral services will
be held.
H. Hughes is the contractor, and C.
H. Davis to be the builder of a parson
age for the Congregational church, the
building to be erected on the grounds
recently purchased by the society, on
the corner lot north and west of the res
idence of L. Gerrard. The building is
to contain seven rooms, and work begins
at once.
Fred. Blaser and family left Satur
day for Belgrade, Boone county, their
future home, he having secured there a
a large tract of land. All their acquain
tances wish them well, and are sorry to
see them go, but such is life a large and
growing family requires more thnn a
40-acre tract of land on which to make
a living.
There are a goodly number of signs
of approaching spring, so far as the
weather is concerned; there is, however.
we are sorry to say, not the usual num
ber of building prospects talked of.
Perhaps later along the money stored
away will come out of its hiding places,
and seek investment in improvements of
various kinds.

The case against -Auctioneer Newell
heard before Judge Hensley yesterday
forenoon resulted in a decision against
the validity of the ordinance, in that it
fixes two terms fcr license to be granted,
one for a year, the other for six months,
and that a license at $10 a day (which
must run for six months at least) would
be excessive and prohibitive.
E. H. Jenkins returned Sunday from
Madison, and is now here to stay. There
was a heavy rain at Madison Sunday
morning; quite a number of auction
sales have taken place this spring there,
but prices go down as time progresses;
quite a number of Virginians have
lately come to the burg, and there were
thirteen applications for one dwelling
house. A surprise party was tendered to
Wm. Meays, jr., Monday evening of last
week, at which a goodly number of both
elderly and "youngerly" people enjoyed
themselves. It was a complete surprise
to Will., but somewhat of a disappoint
ment as well because he was all ready to
go to an entertainment himself. So the
snrprisers narrowly escaped getting snr
pnsed themselves.
Number four of our Photographic
Tour of the World is now ready at this
office. We have passed through Italy,
Greece, and the Hawaiian Islands, and
now comes France, that wonderful coun
try whose social and political history has

forget, a Jocrkal coupon and ten cents
gets this magnificent number, and there
is nothing too good for Jocrxai, readers.
Mr. Olney, living east of the city, had
a gold watch stolen from his residence
last Wednesday evening; during the
absence of the family a walking delegate
from somewhere entered the house. He
was tracked to Schuyler, and it was
found that there he had taken the train
for Omaha. It was thought best not to
try to follow him, identification being
difficult, and the valne of the property
taken not justifying the outlay.
Jack Egan, a tree agent, assaulted
George McKelvey Sunday morning near
the First National bank. We are told
that, without warning, he struck Mc
Kelvey, knocking him down and ren
dering him unconscious, then kicking
him. It seems that he had a grudge
against him of sometime standing.
Egan was put under arrest, and on Mon
day before Judge Hensley, pleading
guilty was fined 530 and costs, S8.S5.
Charley Zeigler returned Friday
from a trip to Texas. He says the south
erners are about one hundred years be
hind the times and that it is the people
from the north who are making the im
provements there. Mr. Zeigler expects
to return there in about a week with a
car-load of draft horses, which he will
place on the market Ike Kenyon and
A. P. Matson returned Tuesday from a
prospecting tour in Texas. They report
as being well pleased with the climate

there. Monroe Looking Glass.
Before Judge Hudson Monday
morning James Harrigan was arraigned
charged with stealing two suits of
clothes from Friedhofs store on Satur
day. In default of bail for $500 he was
sent to jail. Harrigan and another man,
doubtless a confederate, were in the
salesrooms upstairs in the Friedhof es
tablishment, looking at clothing, the
other one staying ostensibly to look for
a suit, while Harrigan remarked that he
was out of tobacco and would go down
to get some. He slipped two suits of
clothes under his overcoat, but Sammy

Thursday afternoon what is known
to newspaper people as one of their most
trying experiences caine to the Wochen-
blatt. A four page form was on the
press at the Telegram office, and before
it was locked up, Jack Kincaid started
the press, and after running three papers
the whole form slipped off and every line
was pied, no two letters hanging togeth
er. Requisition was made upon Lincoln
for two German printers, and the work
of straightening out begun. The worst
thing about the accident was that the
English type-setters of the city could
not help in the distribution.
The list of candidates for mayor, or
rather the list of those who have been
mentioned for the office is growing and
now includes: D. Schupbach, S. C. Gray,
J. H Galley, H. T.Spoerry, I. Gluck, J.
B. Delsman, Henry Rigatz, J. D. Stires,
Georga Lehman, J. S. Hatfield, J. G.
Reeder, C. A. Speice, J. X. Killian, C. H.
W. Dietrich, J. G. Pollock, I. L. Albert,
Alonzo Haight. Some one of this num
ber will probably be the next mayor.
The salary is small, the position is one of
much anxiety and care, and no one, that
we hear, is specially at work to secure
the office.
Ice a half-inch thick Monday morn

By the way, Hicks says we are to have
a hard and stormy March. On and
touching the 11th is the annual crisis
for magnetic and electrical perturba
tions; the 14th is the center of the next
regular period, a day or two previous to
that date indications in westerly parts
will plainly show energetic storms
brewing; 13th to 17th storms reach their
crisis and sweep from the western to the
eastern extremes of our continent. At
the close of these storms, each section in
its turn will be struck by a polar wave
of great severity, for the season. The
last storm period will run from 25th to
29th. The month will close co!J and
fair generally.
Rev. Marvon Farah, a Roman Cath
olic priest from Jerusalem, and Rev.Sar,
his deacon, have been in the city for
about a week. They travel the country,
looking after the interests of the Arabian--born
people in Canada, the United States
and Mexico. Rev. Farah is about sixty
years old and wears a long beard, which
gives him a venerable appearance. Rev.
Sar acts as his interpreter, and together
they have some novel experiences in
their work traveling on foot two hnn
dred miles once in New Mexico. When
we expressed to Rev. Sar our belief that
very early in 1900 we should see a grand
gathering from the civilized world at
Jerusalem, and railroad travel pretty
general in the Holy Land, he said that
there were now there forty miles of rail
road, constructed at a cost of $4,000,000,
because of the lengthy tunnels, but the
work goes forward, and there is good
reason to believe that it will be but a
few years until the country is well sup
plied. He was very greatly astonished
when he came here three and a half years
ago, at the sights he saw such wonder
ful cities, with their industries, their
public improvements, etc. The reverend
gentlemen held services at St. Bonaven
ture church Sunday morning, a large
congregation being in attendance.
The entertainment Wednesday even
ing, given under the management of the
Ladies Relief committee, the proceeds
for the benefit of the poor, was.a decided
success. Considering that the concert
was gotten up within one week, and had
scarcely any advertising, the house was
very well filled, the net proceeds being
about 360. The program was as follows:
Song, Maennerchor; piano solo, Miss
Elsie Morse; song, Mrs. Evans; violin
solo, Mr. G. A. Schroeder; baritone solo,
Mr. Gus. Falbaum; song, Maennerchor;
piano solo, Miss Florence Gleason; song,
Mrs. Chambers; trio, Mrs. Evans, Mrs.
Chambers and Mr. Schroeder; recitation,
Miss Ida Martin. After the above pro
gram was rendered with a hearty appre
ciation of each number, several being
enchored, the audience were treated to
several selections by a darkey quartette,
who are in the city giving concerts. The
audience was well pleased and felt paid
for their money. It is a good thing to
take an interest in these home entertain
ments. We are hardly aware and do not
appreciate the number of talented people
we can boast in our city, and do not have
enough home entertainments to "bring

Spoerry, Welch and MJrbr Schupb
j.ne minutes 01 me -qirevious
were read and approved.
Reports from the committee on police
were adopted as follows: that the reports
as to intoxicating liquors sold by drug
gists A. Heintz and C. B. Stillman bad
been examined by the committee, and
found to be a true copy of tho registers
as kept by tho said druggists; that the
report of Police Judge Hudson for tho
month of January was found correct;
that the bill of A. Boettcfier for $.130
was approved; that the bill of C. Schiw
bert for 35.90 was exorbitant, but recom
mended p'ayment, reserving $3.00 for
occupation tax.
The formal, written recommendation
of Water Commissioner Schroeder for an
additional system of wells, the supply of
water now being inadequate, was placed
on file.
Police JuJge Hudson reported for the
month of February that 318 in fines had
been collected; that tho houses of ill
fame were closed, and no fines from them
had been collected during the month.
Justice Hudson repotted progress in
the collection of delinquent occupation
tax; he had issued execution on some;
on others the time hacTbcen extended as
parties expressed a desire to pay. The
report was placed on file.
The chief of police made a detailed re
port of days' doings during the month of

at various times footing up 79, the high
est number put under arrest at one time
being 10.
The correspondence between the water
commissioner and Master Mechanic
Manning and other officials of the Union
Pacific company was read to the council.
Since the water meter, which measures
the amount of water used by the com
pany, got out of order, the amount can
onlv be approximated by estimate. Tho-f
railroad authorities objected to an .efi
mate based on the three monthsT Sep
tember, October and November, as too
high, being three of the heaviest months
of the year. After considering the mat
ter fully the council decided to strike an
average of the six months preceding De
cember and January 318."9 each.
Councilman Welch inquired what
shape the meter is in, when we are going
to get it, and how long it will last after
we do get it. Commissioner Schroeder
laughingly said that was too many
questions for him to Jinswer all at once,
when Welch suggested that he could
take them up one at a time; explaining
the situation of affairs, the worst feature
was the presentation of a bill by the
Meter company for $57, for fixing the
meter. Mr. Schroeder explainJvhy
this was an unjust bill, and sbmild not
be paid. s- -
L. Schwarz, representing thjire com
panies, presented a list of supplies great
ly needed by them, viz: seven hydrant
wrenches, spanners, rubber coats, lan
terns, shut-off nozzles, &c. The request
was referred to the committee on fire.
The communication of Greisen and
others in regard to the tax on auction
eers was read and duly considered, all
the members of the council participating
in the discussion. The proposition, in
brief, was to the effect that the gentle
men signing the communication (nearly
all the active business of the citv), would
undertake to test tho questions at issue,
without expense to the city, suit having
to be brought in the name of the city.
The proposition was acceded to by the
council, all voting in tho affirmative.
Councilman Welch asking that he be
placed on the record as favoring the
proposition, the city being guaranteed
against all responsibility in the matter.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the city attorney to bring suit against
E. J. Harmon to enforce payment of his
occupation tax in full, as levied by the
ordinance, as retail dealer, viz: $20. Tho
resolution was offered by the committee
on police, Councilmen Spoerry, Gray and
