ERNST AGAINST SNAG. Treasurer Becher Determined not to permit Ernst and Bender to vote themselves illegal salaries. It is a dull weekat the Platte county court house that does not turn out at least one good-sized quar rel among the democratc office hold ers. And last week surpassed all pre vious weeks in that line, including even the preceding week when at the olose of the committee meeting two prominent democrats had a fist fight. This time the quarrel was between Diedrich Becher, county treasurer and Julius Ernst who last year drew nealy 1500 more than the law allows. Ernst went to the treasurer's office, armed with a warrant for supervisors' salary. Teasurer Becher knew that Enst had drawn out nearly his legal allowance of $300 although the year is not nearly gone. Investigation. showed Erust had collected within a few dol lars of the $300 limit, hence the war rant was paid. But thiB notice to Ernst that the treasurer was deter mined to stand with Swanson, Kiar nan and Goetz in protecting the peo ple's pocket-book, brought on a storm that would make thunder sound like the feeble purring of a sick kitten. Ernst had just come from a meeting of the supervisors in which he had voted against allowing treasurer Bech er $10 to buy a mailing list from which to send out notices to tax-payers to save the expense of service through the sheriff and he evidently believed he had done all be law re quries of an official in the wayjof eco nomy. At any rate he was greatly displeased to find a fellow democrat who had the nerve to stand by the law, and he did not hesitate forcibly to exprses his views on the subject. No blows were struck, but deeper wounds were left than if a kaife hod been used. Commenting on this latest "court house scandal", a prominent demo crat remarked: "This Ernst-Becher quarrel removes the last hope we had of getting the fighting factions to gether. The Telegram, the Ernst Bender organ, which is known secret ly to oppose Becher, had said so many good things about Becher in its columns that we beleived all differ ences had been overcome. But now the fight is opened again and nothing can stop it. The republicans will win out now in spite of us. This is our reward for having onr organization run by a set of grafters and our chief par ty organ always defending them. We will be defeated this fall, and we ought to be, for turning our organiza tion over to snch a set." Had On Their Fighting Clothes. Monday was an unusually interesting day in Columbus, especially for the eight people who were concerned in four fistic encounters which took place during the day. There seemed nothing wrong in the atmosphere but the trouble was in the people and more than one spot of claret soiled the various battle fields. Eleventh street contributed two of the bouts. Twelfth one and Thirteen th one. The on Twelfth was between two of the city's most popular business men. Reception. The society event of the season was the reception last night at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Snow in honor of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Kelly, who were married last Wednesday in Chicago. Nearly two hundred guests were present and every detail of the reception was carried out with perfect precision and brilliant effect. In the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Snow. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Kelly, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Kramer and Mrs. Mayer, of Chi cago, Mrs. Kramer's sister. The rooms were all brilliantly lighted and decorated with red roses. In the den Misses Mary Howard and Eva Walker served punch and the men found cigars and easy chairs in Mr. Snow's smoking room. Mrs. J. B. Oeitzen and Mrs. P. J. Hart directed the guests to the dining room where icecream was served, the Misses Marcia Perkins and Clara Reeder pre senting them with carnations as they entered. A delightful muiscal program was given, the vocal numbers by Mesdame Reeder. Rathburn. Evans, and Miss Garlow. Miss Whitmoyer gave a piano number and Prof. Sike and Mrs. Gar low gave a piano and violin duet. Mrs Kelley was lovely in a bridal gown of white broadcloth and lace and carried a bouquet of bride's rse. Early in the evening the K. K. K's. a club of bdys 6erenuded tho bridal couple in most modest manner for boys, and later were serenaded by the Columbus band. Mr. and Mrs, Kelley left this morning on a trip through his territory.

Leave Banner Night Through the work of Mayor Dickin son, Columbus is at last rid of one of the country resorts established in the Lutjeharm's property one mile west of Columbus, just after Mayor Dick inbon pronounced his ultimatum against thoEe resorts within the city limits. The two girls in question are Maude Baldwin and Emma Washer and they left during the darkness of last Satur day night, leaving Louis Lntjeharms, who was foolish enough to sign their recognizancps, to hold the sack to the tune of S200. The girls wore brought into Justice O'Brien's court ny OfficerRossiter on a complaint made by Mayor Dickinson charging them with keeping a house of prostitution. Tho girls were in jovial mood when they entered the sacred domains of the justice court, and declared they would "lay it out" in jail. Later in the evening. Louis Lntjeharms, their landlord, came to their lescue. signing their bond to ap pear in court, at the same time he no tified them to vacate his property im mediately. Deprived of a domicile in which to make a living, the girls decided to depart with all the most Vc luable of their belongings. The case has been carried up to the district court where Lntjeharms will have to produce either the girls or the money. MayorDickinson's persistent pDund- ing awav in the interest of law has mado owners of bouses afraid to rant them to people of bad repute for fear of prosecution. A miter?

IKj yr LC$yik B immi mw ?&ffiifc?Pin fUtn A B:g Week. The people of Platte county should not overlook the date or forget the importance of the Poultry and Stock show to be held in Columbsu the week, beginning December 18 A few progresssive men in Platte county working diligently for vears in the poultry business have brought Platte county to the very front in poultry raising, not only in Nebraska but in the middle west. Whenever Platte county birds are entered in a contest for prizes they win their full share, no matter where competing birds come from. It is this showing that has turned the eyes of poultry men all over the country to the Platte County Poultry Association, and led them to make liberal entries in Onr annual lo cal exhibitions. Though it is no long, er proper to rerer to them as local ex hibitions. The exhibition this year promises to outstrip all its predeces sors. And to provide for the numer ous entries and large crowds next De cember, the officeis have prevailed up on Thomas Branigan to make a iarge addition to his sales barn. 4 Mr. branigan is constructing an ad dition 01 by 80 feet which will pro vide ample room for an excellent dis plav. To the poultry exhibit this year has been added hogs, of all the leading breeds which will be exhibited and sold during show week. It is the pur pose of the enterprising management to aevelop the association until it takes in all the industries of the county maz ing an annual fair of large proportions. Boone county has been made famous by itB excellent fair association which has stimulated progressive and scien tific methods of agriculture at home and advertised the county abroad. The Platte County Poultry and Stock Association will do as much for Platte county with proper encourage ment. Supervisors dominated The republicans of Platte county met last Saturday and Monday and nominated three candidates for super visor. Henry Blaser of Duncan was nominated in District 0 and ?, to suc ceed J. Ernst J. F. Shore of Hum phrey was nominated in District 2 to succeed Peter Bender and A. E. Priest of Mnoroe was nominated in District 4 to succeed Frank Kiernan. There has been wide discussion of the question of the election of super visors this fall and considerable mis understanding as to Attorney-general Norris Brown's attitude on the ques tion. Many papers have stated that Mr. Brown has ruled that there will le no supervisor's election this fall, forgetting that the attorney-general has no authority to "rule" in the question. The fact is he haB simply ad vised all inquirers that the legislature last winter pissed a law which would do away with the- supervisors' election this fall, and that the law would be held consitutiona! until the supreme court 6hould declare it unconstitution al. The supreme court will pass on the constitutionality of the law in a few days, having been ashed bv several counties for a writ of mandamus to compel their county clerks to print the names of the candidates for super visor on the ballot. County Clerk Graf filed the certifi cates of nomination vesterday without protest, but declared that he could not place the names on the ballots. He will not have the ballots print ed, however, until the court hands down its decision. The democarts in this county failed to nominate candidates for supervisor, acting under the impression evident ly, that the constitutionality of the law would not be questioned. If the law should oe held nnoontitntional, the democrats will be forced to nomi nate by petition cr to let the election of supervisors go by default, the time for filing nominations having expired yesterday. The failure of the democrats to nominate was due in part to their fear of the effect upon Dublin opinion of either re-nominating or refusing to renominate Ernst and Bender. A re nomination would mean an official endorsement of unlawful salaries. A reiasaito re-nominate would be an official confession of wrong doing whioh would likewise throw the rotes of the best democrats against the whole ticket If we have an election of su pervisors, the notion of the demo crats will be followed with interest, for they are between the devil and the deep sea. They will lose enough votes whichever Way they go to sleoi a large part of the republican ticket. A new line of guaranteed pipes and smoker's articles at The Bowling Alley.

The Misses Sheehan entertained twenty-four young ladies last Saturday afternoon nt a parcel shower for Miss Anna Hohen. The rooms were beautiful ly decorated, red predominating both in the rooms and tnble decorations. The parcels were placed nn a tablo in the parlor and opened by Miss Hohen. Many valueble pieces of silver and cut glass were presented. Luncheon waa served in three courses, Miss Eva Walk er and Miss Aileen Kavanaugh assisting. Miss Hohen will be married tomorrow morning at the German Reform church to Dr. Frederick Baumgart of Danville, 111. v J. T. Bixby is here for this week from Omaha with a proposition tot give Columbus a free illustrateus write-up in the Sunday eiJiton of ihe World-Herald, in consideration, only of a certain number of paid-in-advance subscriptions to the paper he represents. He will directly call up on the representative business men of our city and make known to each one the particulars of his project. From information furnished the Journal it appears that Columbus will be given an unusually generous offer. Mr. Bixbv is an early day Columbus prin ter and a pioneer newspaper man in Nance coon'y.

The taxpayers of Platte ooanty are again paying 7 per cent iatereat oa o er $10,000 worth of outstanding watrantF, which the treasurer lacks funds t take up. Ihis deficit is due to two causes. First, the failure of the alroads to pay their taxes; and styomi. the failure of the supervisors to make the leavy hiah enoaab to meet such extra-ordinary expenses as tho constant payment of 25 per rent more than the legal rate for all Jjthe cannty printing, the paymeat of ille gal supervisors' salaries and the main' tenance of a bridge trust, whioh is forced to make enough extra out of Platte county tax-payers to maintain an expensive lobby in Lincoln, and to pay for transportation to take supervis ors to the Pacific coast. We need legislative action to force tae railroads to pay their taxes as pri vate citizens do, and we aeed a change iu our county offices that will lop off the burden of high taxes ia Platte county. Backing the Line. The Columbus high school foot ball team went to Kearney Saturday to play against the Kearney Military Academy. The team has played three games this season all of which resulted in a tie. The game with Kearney was fougnt with muscle and skill, and while Kear ney is considered one of the - strongest aggregations in the state our boys easily held them to a nothing to nothing score to the finish. It rained bard during the game which made playing, especially end runs very hard. The Columbu9 plnyt-r-i were: Gray, 1 b; Betterton, fb; Rittermun, r h; Neater, q; Schwarz, c; Uay-a, I g; Dickinson, r g; Duvies, It; Ht-ld, rt; Adams, 1 e; Gass, r e. Subs. McAllis ter, Boettcher. Coach. Graves. Crrr Team vs. David Crrv. tale tne high school boys were playing a t-hut-out game at Kearney Saturday, the Columbus City team was doing similar things over at David City to a stalwart bunch of Bohemians. When the game ended neither side had made a single point. Both teams put np pretty ball and the game was free from accident. The game suited the crowd in atten dance but the Columbus players and their manager Jim Christensen aresore. They are not sore over the hard line work done daring the game, but decid edly sore at a Mr. Green, the youthful manager of the David City team. Just before the game ended the Hon. Green manager played "home speed home" on onr boys and failed to pay their expense guarantee. That was the smallest trick to ever be reported by the Journal, and the young man responsible for it will never win friends. Our boys bad money and did not walk home. Twenty-Second Infaatry. The 22nd. Infantry regiment stationed at Fort Crook will long remember their trip to Columbus where they spent last Sunday. Crowds of citizens went to their camping grounds in Baker's pas ture north of the Loup bridge to wit nens guard mount and they all felt re paid. The movements of the soldiers were executed with precision and ac curacy. The regiment makes a march each year for the purpose of discipline, and Columbus was doubtless selected ns a favorable point at which to spend Sunday because of the military atmos phere which exists here. Not the least among the memories which the officers of the 22nd regiment carried away with them was the de lightful informal reception given in their honor by Colonel and Mrs. Carroll D. Evans at their beantifnl home on Sunday night. An informal musical program was contributed by Mrs. E. H. Chambers, Mrs. Evans and Carroll Evans, and a dainty luncheon was serv ed in the dining room. The guests of honor were Col. Pratt, Mnj. Bern, Capt. Ayers, Capt. Willeox, Capt. Killborn, Lieut. Gill, Lieut. Little, Lieut. Elliott. The other guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Robison, Mrs. Humphreys, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Howard and Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Abbott. Ladies' and gent's clothing cleaned, pressed, dyed and repaired. R. 8.

The state university betas; opeaed for the year, oertain of the democratic papers of the state are takiag their anneal shot at the chanellor thereof. it. will be remembered that Chan cellor Andrews was elected to his present place by a populist board of regeats. his selection beiag dae to his advocacy of free coinage of silver. Since that time he has become convinced tha the free silver idea was wrong and he has pablioly said that he was mis taken ia his former views on that sub ject. Likewise, practically all the other former champions of free silver have openly cr tacitly acknowledged a oaaage of heart, with the exception of Mr. Aryaa. Mr. Bryan's position on the money question is somewhat as follows: "I was right as I always am, aad I sill believe in it thougk I do not advocate it any longer, aad we will talk about something else." The latest cause of complaint against the chanceUor is his opening address to the students of the univer sity this yaar. As usual, he has been largely misrepresented. One seateace taken from his address has been played apon'most widely by his eaemies. iy: at I do maintain and declare'that after all tae main thing is the piling upoi weaita." By pickiag out isolated sentences aad concealing or distorting the con text, one could prove Abraham Lin coln a dnukard, Roosevelt a marder er. Bob lagersoU a christian or Henry Ward Beeoaer an atheist, and each would staad convicted oat of his own month. It is an old trick and it is dishonest of oourse. What the chancellor said was this: From an economic standpoint, tbe.best thing for all the oitizeas of a country is that the country shoald accumulate wealth; that it would be better if the wealth were distributed, bat still it is better to have some rich ami some poor than to have all poor; tbat.every citi zea should labor, not towa-d the get ting of money, bat toward the pre ductioa or wealth. And he summed np in the following paragraph which so far has not been quoted by the es teemed democratic anockers: "I do not speak of the millennium. Inadaymnch nearer than that, it shall to all but the very basest, seem better that a man shall act ia all things with scrcpuloas justice, deal ing to each hi due, aad helping to build high the pile of social and general wealth than that he scheme to best his fellows at any cost, in or der to live in a great house, ride in a private car, sail a yacht, aad rot. when dead, ander aa immense pile of marble." It is a fact of some significance that the stadents of the aniversity, not on ly a majority bat all of them, are solid ia support of the chancellor and have been so through all the years that be has been subjected to partisan attack. Most of the papers that are agaiast him are of the yawp olass the kiad that takes np any cry that is raised bythe maia yawp aad continues it aaiil the leader changes the tune. The leader ia this case is of, course the Omaha World-Herald. TheWorld Herald is a great newspaper and has great influence, and it might be in better business than deliberate mis representation of a public educator. The Booae Ooanty Advance. Dr. J. E.
