Sheriff Kavanaugh returned Wed nesday from the west with his prisoner Lamb, and immediately proceeded to Lincoln and turned him over to the au thorities at the penitentiary. He ran the gauntlet of the little courts ont west on a trumped-up charge of personating an officer, but got throngh all right. Milton Bucklin, reporter for the Telegram the last four months, started Monday for his home at Kankakee, H linois. He expects to conduct a busi ness of his own in the near future. Mr. Bucklin is quite a genins, and will be missed by the many friends he has made during his brief sojourn in the city. Mr. Walters of Grand Island succeeds him. A number of ladies went fishing Friday and enjoyed themselves as Co lumbus ladies always do in an onting, but Mra. Arnold Oehlrich and Mrs. Judge Sulllivan who left the party and came back with a strinir of fortv nine shiners are the envy of the whole crowd, and a committee has been appointed to ascertain what price they paid for the fish.

V xJ Pl,H-eb' ine riatte center Signal ought to know by this time that comic literature written after the similitude of the scrip tures, in praise of Sheriff Kavanaugh, to unduly magnify his name among the people, will not secure his election to office again. The people are thinking back of words, they are reading between the lines of what yon say and what you are trying not to have said. Our officials gathered in Sunday, Richard Roe and John Doe. individuals now notorious for many years back in the police courts of our beloved country, and it seems they are the men needed at Bellwood for the robbery of the Derby store some nights ago. Their arrest was due to Fred Elias, who had purchased of them 310 worth of goods for 31.75. Sheriff Derby of Butler county came over Sunday for his criminals. A change ordered in the advertise ment of the First National bank goes over till next week. In the meantime we may say that they have increased their paid in capital to 3100.000. nearly double what it was, and are getting ready in all ways for the fnll tide of business when it comes, and we are all hoping that this will not long be de layed. A good bank is one of the verv best institutions in a community. Mrs. L. H. Knisely, sister of Mrs. G. W. Stevens, and Mrs. Frank McNamar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Warner, arrived here Friday from San Diego, Calif. After a brief visit with friends, Mrs. Knisely goes to her old home in Ohio. Mrs. McNamar wdl spend a por tion of the summer in the city. All the Columbus National City people are all O. K. Herbert Young and family are making a fine home on their ranche near San Diego. Mrs. Stevens is with her daughter, Mrs. Will. Bryson, on their ranche twelve miles from San Diego. Mr. Bryson's lemon and orange trees have borne fruit this year for the first time. From all quarters in Nebraska come reports that "all is well." There has been an abundance of rain: the warmth of the spring sun is doing its full share to forward the growth of everything put into the ground, trusting that the har vest would come as of old or even more abundantly, as the need seems "to be; the cultivated lands were unusually free from weeds, and the work of plowing and seeding has gone forward thus far at a lively rate; man, in no condition, or in any line of work, creates anything; his greatest achievements lie in taking what materials he finds at hand, and using his faculties, his opportunities, putting himself in line with the forces of nature, utilizing them to the advantage of mankind. Water falling furnishes him power; steam confined does the same, and so on, through the whole long line of nature's forces, whether material or immaterial, seen or nnseen, under stood or incomprehensible, we do the right when we use our opportunities to do the best we can, for all we can, and George Barnum had at his place the other day an anarchist; when he de clared that he wished he had dynamite to blow up one of our banks, George answered that he didn't know what he was saying. "You pretend," George says, "to be a great friend of poor peo ple, and yet in these banks are deposited the earnings and savings of the honest and industrious poor, laboring men and women, and you would in one minute destroy the safety vanlts, and appro priate to your use a portion of their haru-earned savings. This is not only extreme selfishness, but crime, which wonld wickedly subvert everything of good." Of course the man was told to move on, but he did not go without leaving his card, which was a two column article in small type, headed Anarchism v Government, and signed Thomas Francis Morriasey, anarchist at all times, in all places and under all circumstances, Bloomfield, Knox coun ty, Neb.... We give a. few samples-of its teachings: ".Politics is the means of which the owners of the world use to set the non-owners of the world fighting for nothing. Money is a social ticket or check. It is commercial greese; politi cal blood; a deed to private property. Politeness is the counterfeit of kindness. Self-interest is the counterfeit of friend ship, rient. interest, pront and taxes are the robbery and slavery of labor. The wrong use of love and money is the cause of all crime. The ownership of land is the ownership of men. Land, air and water must be free to all. Pub lic debts are forgery against the next generation. Wealth and poverty create two classes of savages in society, one clas3 so high up they are savage; the other so low down they are savage. So ciety tells you two lies of note first, Santa Claus; last, the DeviL There are two classes of people which a monnment is no use to one is the dead, the other the living. Anarchism denies the right of the strong to rob the weak; of the rich to rob the poor; of the educated to rob the ignorant It proposes to de stroy wrong by removing the cauee."

Barbour, acting state geologist at Lincoln, who has written for all the particulars. We have before referred in full to the peculiari ties of the well which sucks the air inward or blows it outward, according to the condition of the weather. At the same place this spring, there is addi tional evidence of a singular formation. Mr. Henggler dug a hole five feet deep, at the bottom of which he drove a gas pipe four feet, through which water came np and filled the surface of the earth. This is 135 yards from the roar ing well, 25 yards from the springs on his place, fully 70 feet above the bed of Shell creek, and about a quarter of a mile from the creek. The water has the color of water flowing through a bed of coal. this is the spirit which seems to animate ad Flynn's character worth on dollar." J Nebraskans these times. Dr. and Mrs. Elmer Sheets of Den ver arrived in the city Tuesday of last week, and visited with Mrs. Early's fam ily. They had been to Lincoln visiting the family of Hon. H. C. Rnssell, and were going to Schnyler to meet old friends, before returning to their wes tern home. The Doctor is an ardent ad vocate of the people's rights as against corporations that exact a tax upon the people of five to ten times what thev should, under the specious plea that they are only earning a small percentage on their stock, when, as they know their stock has been watered five to ten times its real value. Naturally enough, he is for the just treatment of silver as along with gold, a money metal of commerce. mer might use less water, in fact, than the latter, and it is the amount of water that should determine the . and not the size of the lot, or, as formerly, the length of the hose. Mr. Gerrard's idea was that the rates should be ganged ac cording to the size of the taps at the mains; that this is the way water is sold for irrigation, etc On motion of Whit- moyer the matter was -referred to the committee on waterworks. jg Charles Segelke-made coaeHiit that according to meterjraies tht-'water used by him would not amount to more than 36 a year, and the rate he now pays is 310. or 34 more than he ought, by right, to pay. This was also referred to the commit tee on waterworks. A communication from Bissell Hose company was placed on file. A petition numerously signed was pre sented, asking the conncil to reconsider the action taken in rejecting the appli cation of Mrs. J. P. Abts for a license to sell liquors at retail. Whitmoyer moved that the petition be laid npon the table. Welch said that there wefw-a great many signers to the petition,, and he thought it would be well to consider it Oehlrich expressed himself tn th afhe effect. Galley said that the council had acted upon this application and refused it He referred to the grounds of rejection, and reiterated the sentiments then ex pressed by him, and said he had seen no reason to change them the application of Mrs. Abta was virtually that of Mr. Abts, and, besides, he was of opinion that in this matter, the conncil acted in the nature of a court and the law pro vides an appeal from the decision. Ho did not think that the council could legally reconsider their action as taken in this matter. (Welch thought the council could reconsider anything.) Whitmoyer said that in this matter the council had acted as a court, the law providing the method of procedure. Unless these applicants tike the method laid down by the statute, they would have no rights under the statute. The decision of the council was made, and made upon stipulations entered into by the attorneys of parties represented, and the whole matter in controversy was supposed to be ended, then and there, ff, after all that, there had been anv grievance against the action of the coun cil by Mr. Abts, he had his remedy in an appeal from that decision. The statute recognizes no such proceedings as is here attempted to be instituted, and a license issned under such circumstances would not go unquestioned. The prop er way, if an appeal be not taken, is to die a petition according to law, adver tise, etc. But, Mr. Abts has seen fit to go back ou his promise, and now we are asked to grant a license to his wife, vir tually to Mr. Abts: it is the same saloon, the same place, the same propertv, the same everything, Mr. Abts is the owner of everything. He iaTn'e man to whom license is to be granted, though it is in her name. It is not a business way of doing things; it is not the proper way. If Mr. Abts had known that he could have secured for himself a license to sell liquor at retail, he would not have with drawn his application, and not being able to squeeze through in a direct way, ne should not be allowed to have the license in the name of his wife. It is a bad precedent for the council to estab lish. If we should reconsider nnr op tion, and now grant this license to Mrs. Abt3, and hereafter, if any man, for any reason, cannot renew his license, all he will have td do is to get it in the name of his wife. Mr. Whitmoyer said that in this matter he had no feeling; it was a simple question of doing business for the city. We ought to be fair with our selves. Stand by the record as made; it is according to law and good sense. Hensley then made quite a lemrthv speech in favor of Mrs. Abts' applica tion, starting out with the 106 persons, representative of the business element of the city, asking that the vote be re considered, and claiming that Mrs. Abts had not had a fair hearing. There had not been a single thing proved against her, or a single thing charged against her. He attacked Councilman Whit moyer's position on the Abts affair as inconsistent with the position he took on the Brandt matter, in the one case, it was a brother; in the other, it was a wife. When it is said that it is the same building that Mr. Abts applied on, it may be answered that the building could be rented to any one else without prejndice, and why not this woman. Whitmoyer reiterated his view that there was no "manifest injustice' to Mrs. Abts. The real question is shall we grant a license to a man who has been gnilty of violating the law? The motion was carried, laying the petition upon the table. The appointment of Con. Hewitt as police vice Phillips, resigned, was unan imously confirmed. Contract was ordered into with Whit taker for sprinkling, he to use two wagons, and be under direction of conncil. for 3775; the city also contract with A. Boettcher for another sprinkler for 319250, the intention being to use all where most needed. A number of bills were referred to committees. is visiting her Miss Nellie O'Brien brother in this city.

TkeFaaay At the late session of the district court John Huber seems to have had a hard time to hold down his seat One of John's functions is to sit at the door inside, and see that the same is not slammed to the annoyance of the ucoort,n' and in general to keep his eagle eye open to all the little things that, taken together, are calculated to inter fere with the dne adjustment of the proverbial scales kept in every court house. Bnt Bailiff John. like the com mon mortal, sometimes has to fight for rights. One gentleman came in and not being used to John's ways, finding an empty chair (vacated temporarily) and near the door, modestly occupied it, until John led biin off by the ear. The occupying claimant did not see fit to contest his seat, and so there was no serious conflict of authority. A minister took the same chair on an other occasion and carried it 8 to 10 feet from its proper station, when John calling to him said, "Here, chappy. Til fine yon if you don't bring that chair back." At another time, after an exciting day's session, he started in to proclaim the adjournment for the day with the usual "Hear ye, hear ye, etc," when one of the ministers rose from his seat and began to talk, and John, stopping abruptly, yelled ont: "Set down there until the benediction is pronounced," and went on with his usual proclamation of adjournment HENRY RAGATZ i CO., Staple and Fancy Groceries, CROCKERY, .GLASSWARE CLAMPS.

A visit to the celery farm is worth going a number of miles. The large hot beds are now filled with celery, onion, cabbage and tomato plants ready for setting out. They have several large patches of onions already planted and will raise a big crop of Bermuda onions. which grow to such an enormous size. The transplanting of celery has been commenced and will be finished as soon as possible. About thirty-five acres will be planted. Monroe Republican. The prairie dog captured in Gow Bros.' office night before last was a tame one that had escaped from the home of J. H. Oxnam on South Fourth street. The dog was captured at the town ad joining Colnmbus. After a heavy rain storm the dogs are driven from their holes, and it is then that the kids around Columbus turn out and capture the little animals and dispose of them to railway men and passengers passing through town. Prairie dogs, when ta ken young and treated kindly, become domesticated and as mnch attached to their owners as a genuine canine. Nor folk News. Henry Miller returned Saturday from Georgia where he has been as a member from Stanton on the local committee of the Soldiers' Colonv coniDanv. The colony has been located in Montgomery county in Georgia, about 100 miles from the coast and about 150 miles north of the Florida line, where they have seenred 100,000 acres in -one body at 33 an acre. Tuesday evening the Stanton sub-colony held a meeting to determine what steps to take. From what we can learn our people are not very enthusiastic over the location and so far only Henry Miller has signified his intention of going. Some who have been there while on the famous "march through Georgia" say it is a very unhealthful climate; that Sher man lost hundreds of men on that ac count and thousands trace their disease to that today. The soil is represented as rather sandy and in places boggy and marshy, and well timbered with pine and spruce. It is on the Oconee river.with Mount Vernon as the county seat. Stanton Democrat.

After a rest of several months the fire fiend awoke again Sunday night This time some devil had taken off a board on the east end of a string of sheds on the U. P. switch joining Jos. Smatlan's lum ber yard on the north. Through this opening a fire had been started in some baled hay stored within. The men at the U. P. depot were first to see the fire, and gave the alarm. A stiff wind from the south carried the flames away from the lumber piles, else the destruction would probably have been much greater. Loss an buildings and contents, 3600. Six tons baled hay and ten of baled straw were burned. No insurance. Schuyler Herald. was brought un in the nst:. where courts have a thick veneer of "dignity" unknown to the west, and cannot readily get used to the rather easy-going conditions of the west He even threatened to charge one of the preachers fifty cents an hour for the privilege of sleeping in the court room during one of the trials, and when the reverend offered to pay him in preach ing service he was very indignant This reminds of the time when John Eusden arrived in Columbus, and first entered a western court-room, being lately from England, where, under the shadow of the throne, the dignity of the courts is oppressively enforced in the smallest particulars. Court was being held by one of our pioneer justices, who had weathered many a local storm, and kept himself in line with the elemental forces of the times. When onr English friend entered the room, with an evi dent air of reverence and solemnity, it was somewhat amusing to note the different sentiments as thev shaded down into extreme contempt and dis gust, when the whole scene was taken in and fully comprehended; the justice smoking a pipe, jurors in their shirt sleeves, everybody respecting his own individual ideas of the proprieties of the occasion; the attorneys qnarrelling and uanuymg accusations tlie justice evi dently enjoying the circus; the case was for assanlt, where a new-comer to the place had been struck without provoca tion and knocked bodily through a window. With a nasal twanjr. nffr th 0 7 -- wwv complainant's lawyer had got through examining the complaining witness, the justice took him in hand with, "Did he black your eve?" "No." "Did he break any of your bones?" "No." "This court don't recognize an assanlt as worth special attention unless there is a black eye or some broken bones, but seeing yon are a stranger, we will fine him 31.00."
