At the meeting of tho Columbus Ministerial Association Monday a mo tion was made and carried that a com mittee composed of the pastors and su perintendents of the various schools will meet this evening to discuss a plan of organizing a union Sunday school. It is proposed to hold a grand picnic in July. Rev. Harrington will preach at the United Brethren church next Sunday evening, his subject being "What is hell and where is it located?" It is said that Mr. Harrington's sermons at this church the last few weeks have been very inter esting, and certainly the subject of next Sabbath evening's discourse, if not at tractive, should prove to be interesting to some of our people.

John Bnrrell protests against the strictures of a certain city paper, in the strongest terms. He has been an engi neer for many years and has held posi tions requiring the work of an expert in that line. As to the charge of immoral ity, that was long since exploded, he says, to the satisfaction of the best citizens of the city. Neligh Derby's store at Bellwood was broken into Tuesday night of last week, and 9200 worth of goods stolen. A team of bays, supposed to be hauling the robbers, was trailed towards Colum bus, the track being lost at the Loup bridge. This is the fifth time in 18 months that the Derby establishment has been-burglanzeu. The Flynn Gerrard-Lay case occu pied the largest attention of the court at the recent term; the damages claimed by Flynn for alleged libel were 320,000 and he received a verdict of $1,00. Mc Allister & Cornelius and Albert & Read er were attorneys for Flynn, and for Gerrard, Whitmoyer & Gondring and Monger, and for Lay, C. A. Woosley. A fishing party went out to Outer's slough last Saturday, took their dinners and had a good time. We learn they caught about two dozen fish, but do not stand responsible for that statement. Those of the party were: Misses Mary Morse, Clara Hohl, Minnie Tannahill, Clara Inlay, Lillie Keating, Metta Hensley, Angie Early and Jessie Swarts- ley. -Xkmim township Las concluded to prohibit tho maiming of cattle, and tho breaking down of fences by hunters; also all hunting, shooting and fishing within the township without the consent of the owners of the land under penalty of $5 costs or five days imprisonment for each violation, one-half the fine to go to the complaining witness and one half to the school fund. Members of the school board are receiving applications for positions in the city schools for the coming year, and it has been suggested by one member that it might be well enough to say in The Journal that if there are any of the present teaching force who know now that they will not desire a position here the coming year, they should make the fact known to the board. "OnrFritz"of the Telegram is some times wise, and sometimes otherwise. The latter is the case when he advises people not to think of next fall's election until after the Fourth of July. Why the Fourth? Why not mako it tho Sixth? Or why not wait until the bosses set everything up in the wa3 of nomi nations? That would doubtless please "Our Fritz" tho very best of all. Wednesday last Rob O'Brien for warded his household goods to Chey enne, and on Saturday he and Mrs. O'Brien left for their new homo. The move is necessitated by a recent order from the post-office department. Mr. O'Brien is a railwaj' postal clerk, his run being between Cheyenne and Hunt ington in Oregon, and the new order requires that he live on his line. . Mrs. O. L.

Baumgartner is considerably marked up and from what he says, the wholesale onslaught might easily have proved murderous, as he says an iron pin was thrown at his head, which, if it had hit him would probably have laid him out. Charles Thrush of Colfax county, who was in the city last week, is very decided in his opinions in regard to the benefits of deep plowing and snbsoiling, and shallow culture for corn. Ho is very much in favor of the harrow as an im plement to be used in the early cultnro of corn. He tells us that at Ames they claim to have cleared $22 an acre last year raising sugar beets, and that one individual in his neighborhood cleared S20 an acre. The National City (Cal.) Record or last week says that a pecculiar specimen of tho shark family was caught by Messrs. Arthur Arnold and Robt. Eysler. It was comparatively small, but was a curiosity from the fact that there were some strange physical features about it. The noso was pierced by two largo nos trils and the mouth contained numerous small teeth. The flippers ended with bony points and there were other extra ordinary formations which attracted at tention. Friday evening Gus Spoice's pony got scared and broke loose from a hitch ing post on Olive street, ran north to Fifteenth, turned east, going between a post and Alexander's milk team, and the latter went flying eastward, the milk wagon losing a goodly portion of its contents near the monastery, the street there being sprinkled with milk. The team went on out toward Stewart's, and were caught by a herder boy the tongue of the wagon was broke. Speice's cart struck one of Carl Reinke's trees and was left there a wreck. The city schools celebrated Arbor day with suitable exercises. Mr. Leavy's room planted a number of splendid big trees and the boys are going to water and attend them as if they wero their own. Mrs. Brindley invited all her room to her home at the new Congrega tional parsonage and told them all who wished could bring some growing plant or vine. The result was twenty-seven little trees, etc., sixteen of which were rose bushes. After the planting was done, which was superintended by Rev. Rogers and Dr. Geer, the children were all treated to cake and lemonade. The Y. M. C. A. re-organized last week with Dr. Geer as president; Frank Chenoweth, secretary; W. R. Notestein, treasurer; Dr. Voss, chairman executive committee; J. D. Stires, chairman finan cial committee. We understand that the rooms will not be re-opened until money enough is raised to pay out standing indebtedness, after which it is intended that the association affairs shall be conducted on St, Paul's advice to his brethren, "Owe no man anything, but to love one another." The associa tion has been a means of much good in many ways and of course the citizens of Columbus will not see it fail for want of a few dollars. I only wish and wish and wish that I could fish and fish and fish; I'd like to sit, the live-long day, upon a bale of prairie hay, down where the river sadly wails, and fish for suckers and for whales. Tis shameful that on this free soil a man must toil and toil and toil; and grunt and sweat and strive and groan, and bust his martingale and moan; grow old and bald before his time, in following the festive dime. Ah, life would be a pleasant dream, if one could sit beside a stream, with rod in hand, at early dawn, no comrade but his demi john (the latter filled with lemonade) to sit there in the drowsy shade what higher bliss could mortal wish? Ah, let ns go and iah and fish. Walt Mason, -Tl?how25ntB nxjejmSday. ok Mi & PemNabig 2oantXiow eViyiiextliednesdBi'v PLATTE COUNTY SHERIFF IK TROUBLE. Arrentcd in Nevada oh tae Charge of Kid Happing a Prbeaer. We find the following telegram to the Bee of the 24th from Battle Mountain, Nevada: D. C. Kavanaugh, sheriff of Platte county, Neb., and H. B. Wright, sheriff at Ogden, Utah, were arrested and held over in 88,000 bond each here today for kidnapping a prisoner from Sheriff Easton of this county. Michael Lamb, a fugitive from justice from Nebraska, was held in this county on a committ ment to Sheriff Easton, to await requi sition proceedings from Governor Jones of Nevada. While Lamb was in custody Sheriff Kavanaugh arrived here in com pany with Sheriff Wright Just prior to the train leaving they overpowered Dep uty Sheriff Williamson and took Lamb on a train westward. Williamson imme diately lodged a complaint for the arrest of tho two sheriffs. Kavanaugh was ar rested with the prisoner in his possess ion at Winnemucca. On a preliminary examination both were held. Fugitive Lamb is held by Sheriff Hadley of Hum boldt county, who refuses to surrender him to tho Lander county authorities. Serious complications are liable to follow between the twtTgtates and the two counties. Court Proceedings. State v. Proposki, assault and battery. Defendant discharged. Meyer v. Sheriff Kavanaugh.

A debating club has been organized by tho young boys of the city, and it is becoming quite a success. That's right, boys. Recognize tho fact that you aro men of a smaller growth, with the same animating life; mako the most and the best of your time, your talents and your opportunities, and you will find, as Ben Franklin did, aud as many another good man has found, that yonr debating club will bo of untold value to you. All the information you acquire will come into play some way or other at some time during your literary exercises; j-ou will read with greater zest and with better method, when you read with a definite object in view; it is a great deal to ana lyzo a subject and then follow the lines of thought in detail until yon present in full tho picture formed in your own mind, and it seems that in debate, where tho youth has prepared for tho contest and is earnestly putting forth his best efforts, ho first loses himself and finds his ability to speak in public without embarrassment; it is much to be able to think connectedly, logically and force fully while standing facing an audience, and most men have felt tho need of this faculty. Tt is said of Garfield (who was a very ready and effoctivo public speak er), that he made a rulo of accepting every request for an address that ho found time for, as a means of improve ment, and certainly in this, as in other matters, practico tends toward perfec tion. Tho Bellwood Gazette gives the fol lowing particulars of an event elsewhere referred to in The Journal: Neely & Derby's store was broken into on Tues day night and a lot of goods taken, but as to how much wo have not learned. This time the thief or thieves after se curing tools from Sudderth's wagon shop cut their way through a small window in the north end of the building. It is thought they may have taken 8100 worth of goods. Sheriff Derby and Joe started toward Columbus on their track next morning, but returned to Bellwood at a lato hour without tho thieves or any clue as to their whereabouts. A camping outfit, who came into Bellwood Wednesday morning claimed that he met a met a couplo of peddlers going next Columbus at an earl- hour. We believe this is the fourth time this store has been burglarized inside of 18 months. Tho David City News suggests that all the houses of Bellwood bo thrown open to the search of officials, and expresses a belief that tho goods will be found. Miss Ida Stevenson, the returned Chinese missionary who lectured at the Methodist church Wednesday evening, is a graduate of tho Chicago Medical College and when in China served as physician to the family of Li Hung Chang, the prime minister who was re cently shot in Japan. Her talk was very interesting, giving somewhat in detail tho life of the missionary in tho cities of China, with illustrations of customs different from civilizations. An idol, pieces of money, a pair of spectacles, pictures, etc., attracted considerable at tention. The chnrch choir furnished an anthem and several hymns, appropriate to the occasion, and Misses Mary Turner and Alice Matthews a duett, "Rock of Ages." If any man thinks that The Journal has been opposed to the government of counties by the township organization system, he has certainly failed to read TnE Journal. We have never been favorably inclined to the statute under which work has been done, but town ship organization is all right, and when Nebraska people come to hold the whip hand over politicians and place-hunters, a system of township government will be formulated by our legislature that will be in the interest of- the public.

City Ceuell. Council met Friday evening, all pres ent. Minutes of previous meetings since April 10, read and approved. The application of Elizabeth Abts for a license as retail liquor dealer was read. the provisions of law with reference to application and bond having been com plied with. A remonstrance against the issuance of the license was also presented, alleg ing the objection that she made applica tion to sell at the same lot and block which was applied for by John P. Abts, and that she is the wife of said John P. Abts, and to grant her a license would be to grant him a license, said John P. Abts naving agreed by his attorneys, Albert & Reeder in the presence of the city council with C. A. Woosley, attor ney for the remonstrants that he would not offer to in any way get a retail li cense to sell, etc" April 29, 730 p. m., was set for hearing the remonstrance. A license as retail liquor dealer was issued to John Wagner, he having com plied with all the provisions of the law. The bid of A. Heintz to furnish elec tric lights for the streets for the coming year was accepted and contract ordered. $1400 for 14 lights was the bid. The mayor then submitted- appoint ments as follows which were confirmed: C. A. Speice, city attorney; C. H Davis, water commissioner; J. C. Phillips, Ed. Rossiter, night policemen; C. H. Davis, street commissioner. That of Charles Brandt as chief of police was not con firmed. Communication from fire department referred to committee on fire. The several bids for sprinkling, etc., were referred to committee on streets and grades. The complaint of Paul Hagel against excessive water tax at the Cold Storage establishment was referred to the wnter commissioner. The city treasurer was authorized to collect occupation tax as per list fur nished by the committee. Resolutions presented by Galley were adopted to the effect that in order that no consumers may have exonse hereafter for using water for sprinkling after 9 o'clock after May 1, the whistlo known as the mocking bird whistlo be blown one half minute, when all sprinklers and fountains must be shut off and any per son violating the same will have the water shut off without further notice We took pretty full notes of the speeches made Monday evening, on tho remonstrance case, but have not space left for their reproduction. Rev. Bross appeared for tho remon strators and Judge Hensley for Mrs. Abts. Mr. Bross recited the facts as regarded the withdrawal by Mr. Abts of his ap plication for a license to sell by retail and that when he was granted a license to sell by wholesale, it was the general understanding of the council and the community that he would abide by that understanding. He is acting in bad faith by having his wife apply for a li cense. He expects to do the work him self. Mrs. Abts has mado this applica tion simply because Mr. Abts was re fused. He referred to a decision of the supreme court where a brother was concerned instead of a wife, and said that the council had full authority to grant or not to grant in this case or in any case. Mrs. Abts was sworn and stated that she was the wife of J. P. Abte, had re sided hero pretty nearly twenty years, expected to conduct the business her self. When asked why she did not make application for herself before and until after Mr. Abts had been refused a li cense, sho said she thought she could have a business for herself. Mr. Hensley contended that the whole proceeding was a dark-lantern business, emanating from a secret, oath-bound or ganization, and directed against the adherents of a religious sect, only Flynn and tho Abts, Catholics, receiving the attention of these gentlemen (meaning. tho ministers who signed the remon strance.) He thought they were not exemplifying the religion of Jesus Christ as he had learned it when he studied for tho ministry; he had always been taught that there was no compromise with wrong, but here had been an agree ment that Abts might furnish in Johns town, avalanche quantities, but could not be permitted to do so by the spirit ing fountain or the dram, what the supreme court had declared to be the "parent of more iniquity than all the others in the state." Under ex-Mayor Schupbach, this secret organization had had some appointees in the city govern ment, and no effort had been mado to curtail the evils of the liquor traffic, but now that the present mayor had not manifested an intense desire to have that organization as his coadjutors in the city 'government there comes this hunting down of two Catholics. Mr. Bross said there was no intention to fight this administration. They would find the ministers standing by the administration for the enforcement of the law. Ho disclaimed auy opposition to Catholics in this matter or any pre judice whatever. He did not belong to the A. P. A., and now for the first time knew that Mrs. Abts was a Catholic. He did not believe in compromise in such matters.' Ministers were first citi zens and had their rights as such, just as well as other citizens, whether they were poor or rich; our government knows no difference between classes as regards the rights of citizenship. The remonstrance had been made against Mr. Abts because he had violated the law, and they had abundant evidence to that effect; that a widow had gone to him and requested him not to sell any moro liquor to her boy, that he had abused her, and paid no attention to her entreaty, was one of the facts; that the ministers were standing for the rights of such women, and would continue to do so. This attempt to procure another liquor license in a family which now had three members engaged in the business in tho city was simply a way for Mr. Abts to get a license in his wife's name. The matter being now beforo the council for action, Whitmoyer said that before ho cast his vote he desired to say that the council were here to transact business. He was sorry that matters had been brought in that wero alto gether foreign to the case, which is a matter of business. When Abts with drew his application for license to sell at retail it looked like he expected tho facts to bo proved against him. It was understood when lie was granted a license by wholesale that that was to end tho contest, and I feel for one that I don't Use to be trifled with. It looks to mo as though to grant a license now to Mrs. Abts would be just the same as to grant him a license. It is a very bad precedent to establish. We have a duty to perform. We are not here to trifle. I vote as my conscience dictates. Mr. Abts ought to stand by his agreement, and I don't think he has anything to complain of, or any of his family. Murdock moved that the application for license by Mrs. Abts be rejected. It was seconded by Galley who said it seemed to him that the remarks of Councilman Whitmoyer were to the point. He took it that Mr. Abts meant just what ho said. She had evidently never made up her mind until after a license bad been refused to Mr. Abts, and he could not agree to that. The vote was then taken all voting aye in rejection of the application ex cept Oehlricb, who voted nay. A petition was then presented and read, directed to the council and espe cially to Galley and Wells of the First ward to reconsider their action as tc the confirmation of Charles Brandt as chief of police. The question came up on motion of Wells for reconsideration, seconded by Whitmoyer. Welch moved the confirmation of the appointment, which was seconded by Oehlrich. Galley said that hernad heard of this petition before it cam into the council. He said he had nothing against Mr. Brandt personally. He had no preju dice against him. He had given his reasons for not voting for the confirma tion and he had nothing to change, Some of the very men who. signed this petition had been strenuous against the non-collection of occupation tax against certain parties and now when some conncilmen stand up for the rights of the city, tney object. So rar as he was concerned he thought he was right and proposed to continue in the right. Wells said he voted against confirma tion because he thought he was doing right. He had not known Mr. Brandt individually at all, and had made up his mind from the best information attaina ble. He had it from good authority that when Mr. Brandt was told that he could repay the city by instalments from his police wages, he answered "The council can go to hell." Galley added to his remarks by saying that while the name of Carl Brandt was not on the application and not on the bond, it was believed that he was really a partner in the business on which last year the occupation tax was not. paid, and he, as councilman, could not vote for confirmation. Murdock said he hadn't known Mr. Brandt but he had made inquiry of business men in regard to him, and two out of every throe said they didn't want him, and he didn't wish to change his vote. The nomination of Brandt as chief of police was then confirmed, Murdock and Galley voting "no." Adjourned. DIED.
