ed by the directors of the Irrigation and
Water Power company, made a complete
estimate to the satisfaction of the entire
board Friday afternoon, stating in his
remarks that it would be false economy
to turn the water back into the river at
the east line of the county, but that the
company should make arrangements
with land owners in Colfax county to
take the water on east as far as possible.
Let us all do our share to carry tho
work forward.
Wednesday night the sample room
connected with the Thurston house was
broken into and about a hundred dol
lars worth of goods stolen, consisting of
private goods belonging to Charles
Green, traveling salesman, and some
goods belonging to the company he
represents. The next day three men
were noticed crawling from under the
coal chutes at the elevator, and upon
search being made, a portion of the
stolen goods were found there and the
men followed and put under arrest.
One of them escaped from prison and
the other two were tried Monday.
There was quite a commotion last
week among tho draymen, Barney Mc
Taggart being arrested for running a
wagon without a license. The amount
of the assessment by the police judge
was $3.25. It seemB that some of the
draymen had given bonds as required,
but we learn that all are now under
bonds. Express Agent Johnson was
also brought up for hauling trunks, but
as the express company pays $10 a year
occupation tax, and deliver goods to
their customers free, nothing was done
in his case. We learn that Mr. John
son will now, however, enroll among the
draymen.
Mrs. Cushing, sister of Patrick Mur
ry, had a sad shock Sunday. In her
weekly paper from Leavenworth, Kas.,
Bhe read of the death of her husband,
the first intimation she had in any way.
Tho article said, in brief, that C. P.
Cushing had a homestead near Pryor
Creek, Indian Territory, and was found
Tuesday of last week a distance from
tho house, murdered and the body hor
ribly mutilated and had evidently been
lying several days before found. Mrs.
Cushing and daughter Miss May will
leave for Leavenworth, where the re
mains will be interred, as soon as Mrs.
Cushing is able to travel, as she is just
recovering from sickness.
Our portly Milkman Alexander
wished to attend the state fair last week
and took a coat to his tailor to have it
put in shape, giving directions to round
the tails off the Prince Albert. Before
allowing his customer to leave the
store, Mr. Lindstrum, like every careful
workman should, opened tho package
and suggested that Mr. Alexander tarry
a minute until he would find out just
how much to cut off, etc., and opened
out the bundle, when lo and behold!
there was the coat in just the cut pro
posed. Alexander threw up his hands
at the sight and called all the occupants
of the building out for a treat, under
the condition that they wouldn't tell of
his break. A little bird carries news to
the paper.
It is very important that no man be
sent to Lincoln to represent Platte
county in the legislature unless the
voters know what measures, or what
lines of legislation he favors, and for
whom ho will vote for United States
senator. We have lieen told by one who
seems to understand the situation of
things, that Dietrick Becher, the demo
cratic nominee for representative, owes
his nomination to the North-Kavanaugh
element of his party, and if this is true,
that ho will not vote for Bryan, for
whom such a fight was ostensibly made
here. How is this, Dietrick? If elected,
will you or will you not vote for Mr.
Bryan? Of course the very fact of
whether j-ou will be elected may depend
upon your answer to this question, but
all the same, your views will be inter
esting to voters, who have a right to
know them. The Jourxat. will be
pleased to convey to its readers this in
formation. There were quite a number of our
citizens at the State fair last week, and,
notwithstanding the dry year, the ex
hibit was one of the best they ever had.
The gate money on Tuesday was the
largest amount for Tuesday known in
the history of the association. The re
publican rally took place that night.
Wednesday was as fine a day as could
be asked for, Thursday was dusty and
Friday it rained hard so that all the
races were declared off. The exhibit of
stock was most excellent, some of them
having had prizes at the World's fair.
In agricultural hall, there was the usual
good display, even from parts of the
state afflicted this year with dry weather.
One section of the building was devoted
to Colorado under irrigation, which was
truly fine. Hitchcock county had an
exhibit of products grown by irrigation,
that was an object lesson to all Nebras
kans who have any doubts on the sub
ject. Near President Henry's office was
a small plat of ground laid off to repre
sent river, canal, reservoir, ditches and
laterals, and showing orchard, wheat
field, pasture, etc., under irrigation the
water being supplied by pipe from the
waterworks. It attracted considerable
attention. Manufacturers' hall was a
splendid credit to the state, and if these
people would advertise their wares more
in the newspapers the state would in a
few years become famous for its facto
ries. At Bradley Plow Co.'s headquar
ters we were told that they had disposed
of more subsoil plows in the last two
months than they had done in a dozen
years previously, and Manager Merriam
gave very good reasons, not against irri
gation, but in favor of deep plowing and
sub-soiling as a very important element
of farming, with or without irrigation.
There were a number of irrigation pumps
on exhibit on the grounds. Everybody
who remarked about it, expressed sur
prise at the large number in attendance.
Nebraskans may well be proud of their
fair this year, and among others, of
course, commend our fellow citizen R.
H. Henry, for hie large share in the work.

The committee consisting of Wells,
Welch and Murdock, to whom was re
ferred the applications for reduction of
occupation tax, reported recommending
that J. G. Pollock's name bo stricken
from tho list as his hotel is now listed
for $15, as a hotel, and that tho ordi
nance does not prohibit keeping a lunch
counter. That in the caso of Hagel &
Stevenson tho tax on their creamery bo
stricken from the list, as they do not
receive any benefits therefrom. That in
the caso of Gleason & Merrill, on the
payment of S5, the city attorney be in
structed not to force tho collection of
the balance, as tho firm was not in busi
ness to exceed three months of the

structed not to crowd collection for tho
year '94 as they claim they do not re

In this life of ours there are a good
ly number of surprises, many of them
agreeable, some of them grievous and a
few pretty ridicnlous for one reason or
another. The other day Barney Mc
Taggart and Earl Pearsall were after
the men that had stolen some clothing,
and somewhere down around the B. &
M. yards they came upon a man lying
on the ground with a coat spread over
his head. Ho was evidently unconscious
of his pursuers or of danger of any sort,
but this apparent disregard to human
affaire in general, and to Pearsall and
McTaggart in particular was not to last
long, and so, leaving Pearsall standing
quietly herding the fellow with a drawn
pistol, Barney goes after his wagon.
Our information is not just clear as to
the number of minutes which elapsed
before Barney's return, but come back
ho did in good time and hurrying boldly
up to the unsuspecting scoundrel he
grabbed him and with "Come along with
me, I've got you now," the man under
tho coat pushed aside the covering,
gazed upon the menacing gun and the
strangely-Bingular countenances of his
fellow-citizens and wanted to know
what was the matter. You can imagine
how Earl and Barney felt when they
saw that they had caught "Shamrock"
McDuffee, a good-natured workman on
the B. & M., who was there for the same
purpose that they wero themselves.
The International cyclopedia has
this to say of the "Blue Laws:" "A
name given to certain enactments sup
posed to have been made by the Now
Haven colony in Connecticut, in the
early days of the settlement. These
'laws' never existed; but as usual in the
Puritan days the personal conduct of
citizens was often subject to judicial
supervision and animadversion, and
Sabbath-breaking was especially odious
to the magistracy. Currency was given
to the idea of a code of severe and
ridiculous enactments called the blue
laws by the notorious tory minister, the
Rev. Samuel A. Peters, who had charge
of the English churches in Hartford and
Hebron, but who was compelled by the
revolution to fly to England. There, in
1781, he published his General History
of Connecticut, a work whose exaggera
tions and spite make it almost a cur
iosity. Many years ago, a small book
containing these supposed laws, which
were really extracts from Peters' history,
was published, and is even now referred
to as authority by the unsuspicious."
The over-zealous Puritans had enough
to answer for without ascribing to them
the enactment of laws that they never
made.

bus Towasbip.
Within the past week or two a good
many farmers and land holders of the
above township have been apprised by
different parties that the dreaded pest,
the Russian thistle, is growing in dif
ferent parts of the township, therefore
believing there is a necessity for prompt
action in destroying the same, and in
view of the untold damage which would
accrue to the land holders and people of
our township Bhould the thistle gain a
foothold here, and in the absence of any
law providing for their destruction, the
town board of Columbus township, have
met in session for the purpose of
earnestly recommending and urging
every farmer and land holder of the
township who has the said Russian
thistle growing on his farm or lands to
immediately take steps to destroy the
same.by pulling them up by the roots,
and burning those that have matured
enough to develop seed.
We also recommend that our repre
sentatives of Platte county be instruc
ted by petition from the people of said
county at the next session of the legis
lature to provide a statutory law of the
state of Nebraska, for the destruction of
the dreaded Russian thistle.
We hereby order the overseers of each
road district to destroy all Russian
thistles found on the public highway in
their respective districts.

Republican County Convention.
The adjourned session was held Satur
day at Humphrey.
J. G. Pollock was selected secretary,
in the absence of J. N. Heater.
A goodly number of delegates were
present, and the best of feeling pre
vailed. Gus. G. Becher of this city was nom
inated for representative, a choice uni
versally considered as favorable by dem
ocrats and populists, as being able to
take from their candidates many votes,
and by republicans as being not only
certain to be elected, but also capable of
understanding tho duties of the office,
and of knowing and appreciating tho
wishes of the people who will chose him
to represent them at Lincoln.
For county attorney, the convention
selected R. P. Drake of Humphroy, a
man well known in the county, and who
when he serves tho people in the im
portant office for which he has been
named, will do so fearlessly, and with
out partiality. Mr. Drake is just such
a man as yon would trust with your own
personal affairs with confidence that
everything would be done promptly and
fairly.
Jnlirt Township.
We are just in receipt of the proceed
ings of the township republican primary
meeting, over which David Thomas pre
sided and for which I. N. Jones did the
recording.
After selecting David Thomas and R.
E. Jones as delegates to the county con
vention, the following local ticket was
placed in nomination: For collector and
treasurer, D. Thomas; town clerk, I. N.
Jones; assessor, H. J. Johnson; justice
of the poaco, Wm. R. Jones; constables,
D. B. Duffy, George Glass; road over
seers, districts 14, 31 and 48 respectively,
Robert Lewis, John Dugan and Owen
Jones; judges of election, David Bynon,
Martin Christensen and John W. S.
Evans; clerks of election, Andrew Han
son and George Mahood.
Republicans have the true political
faith, and if they will get together in
