Hacker's first kiln of hrick for this season arc ready for handling. Tho IniuInesH men of Columbus are de mroiiH of having a road opened from Warrens place on the Columbus and 'i ank ton road, in a northwesternly direc tion up a branch of Shell Creek to the H!"tilMiunts at the month of Cedar oc llio Elkhorn. Many of the settler.4 de siro to make Columbus their business point. .1 uuies North tells us that on his last trip tip tiio Loup he went fifteen miles further than he had ever gone before, and found a ledge of very valuable limestone rock. The ledge, which is stratified rock, is about fifteen miles from tho North settlement, and is from ten to forty feet thick as it faces the street. Prince of Pilson. Lee Jenkins returned Monday after a visit or eight months on the ranch of his eonr in f Carl and Bert McKtnnie. four miles fioni Loup City. John Munson of Uenou was in the city on business Monday. The production or the "Prince or Fil sen" was a .splendid success at the North Opera house, lust Thursday night. There were sixty-live in the company and when they were all on the stage, chorus girls, dancers, soldiers, coquettes, all the .scene was a dazzling dis play of beauty, elegant costumes, smiles, wit, everything lo make one forget to be blue. The singing of the beautiful songs the "Message of the Violet, and the "Tale of the Sea Shell," were especially well ren dered and called for repeated encores, as did also the Heidelberg and Stein songs by the cull ego boys anil the catchy airs of tho punch maid. Manager Saley is to be congratulated on having secured this treat for his Co lumbus audienco. There seems to be a popular demand for comic opera, and the less tragic plays, and in securing this attraction he has touched the public pulse. It was gratifying to notice the number of out of town parties who came in for the occasion. This is as it should be. Columbus might easily become a rival of Oaiaha a- a theatre town. The business men would profit by the out of town trade by helping build up the theatre business of Columbus. RybvStorz. A pretty wedding was solomized at the Catholic: church Sunday morning at D:o0 a. in., when Mr John Storz and Miss Anna Ryba, both of this city, were unit ed in marriage.A large number of friends and relatives were present at the cere mony, directly after which the guests accompanied the young couple to the home of the bride where an elaborate spread awaited them. In the evening the festivities ended with a social dance and more than one danced, drank and ate to the good wishes of the newly mimed couple. Tho contracting parties have lived in our city many years and are deserving of every congratulation extended. Dr.E.H.Naumann DENTIST lias one of the best dental offices in the state. Full- equipped to do all den tal work in First-Class manner. Always reasonable ineharges. All work guaranteed. Over 14 years practice in Co lumbus. 13th Street Phone 140. Dr. E. N. That $454.15 Warrant. The taxpayers of Platte county are jwiying 7 per cent interest on Sheriff Carrig's warrant for 454.15. This is the same war rant that Supervisor Kiernan at first refused to sign. The bill is itimized as follows: Copies of notices, - 878.00 Service and return, - 8141.50 Mileage, - - 8234,05 An examination of the records in Assessor Galley 's hands shows the return of 262 notices. The law allows 25c each for copies and 50c for service and 10c a mile mileage. Take your pencil and figure this out. Mr. Carrig cither made a "clerical error" in figuring up his charges for "copies" and service or some of the returned notices have been lost from Mr. Galley's records. At any rate it is evident that the bill in question was not checked up with the records. nd as for mileage, Sherifl Carrig must have traveled 4,(i!K miles to have collected legally the amount specified, an absurd proposition on its face. Taxpayers, draw your own conclusions. The Journal mere ly states the facts. WHY? Why do the democratic papers of Platte county and Argas, a subsidized indenpendent paper, fill their colnmns witb personal attacks on the editor of the Journal instead of attempting to deny the statements of fact made by the Journal concerning the official record of Platte oonntya officials? They say the Journal 1b 'engaged in "dirty work," in "personal attacks" on good men. The Journal has not given a line to an attack on any man in his capacity as a citizen but we admit that we have made charges against these men in their capacity as puolic officials and those charges are supported by the public recordB and have not been and cannot be de nied. If it is "dirty work" to criticise a democratic official for an official act why did the Telegram refer to 'Fraak Kieraan and John Goetz democrats as "political shysters' because of their part in trying to force Ernst and Ben der to pay back to the county $52G': Why have the democratic papers of Platte county left it for the Journal to give credit for honest and efficient performance of duty by August Boetther, John Goetz, Frank Kiernan and Diedrich Becher. all democrats? What paper has been alone in criti cising an official act of John Swanson repulioan? The Journal alone. It Stires and Webb are elected, the Humphrey Democrat and the Colum bus Telegram will have the publica tion fo every notice that the patrons request published in those papers. And yet they charge that the Journals motives in defeating the democratic candidates is to get all the legal no tioes. They are afraid of a ".eqaure deal.' If the course of the democratic pa pers has been so honest, why did the democatric committee deem it neces sary to buy up the Platte County Ar gus, an independent paper, to help it win in this campaign. The republican central committee concedes that the Argus has gone de mocratic When the democratic committee needs another paper to deceive the taxpayers. Ernst and Bender can put in an extra bill and the taxpayers pay the freight the next year in higher taxes. "We predict that the attempt of the Journal to make spots on the record of a good man will serye only to increase Mr. Leavy'e popularity with the peo ple' ' Telegram. The Telegram "predicted' that Roose velt would not carry Platte county last fall, The democratic committee allowed the Journals charges against Sheriff Carrig and Judge Batterman and John Graf to stand unanswered for two weeks and then fell all over them selves to deny the charges against Leavy before the ink was dry, thus ad mitting the truth of charges against the other fellows, but hoping to dis credit those charges by proving false the charges against Leavy. Where the democratic committee erred was la taking Leavy 's word for it. Had the comtattee come to us we would have shown them the evidencs and saved them this humiliation. Woaaa's Club.

CHANGES POLITICS Jacob Shore an Old Time Democrat Declares for the Roosevelt Program in Platte County. Jacob Shurc the republican candi date for supervisor in Kender's dis district was in Columbus yesterday. Commenting on the charge made in the democratic paper that "Jacob Sliure is a democrat," Mr. Shu re said to a Journal reporter: "I used to be a democrat. But in county affairs I always have voted for the best men without regard to party. But I vot ed for Mclvinlcy and I am a Roose velt man. As for the county ticket this year the republicans have taken the same stand that Roosevelt has taken in the nation, and I shall sup port all the repulican candidates but one. It is time we were taking the business of the county out of the hands of the few men who are run- in:; things in their own interest. Of course the democratic candidates will work hard to hold control, but , the taxpayers arc tired of ring rule and high taxes. I believe our officers should get what the law allows and no more. My heart is with the re publicans in the campaign for clean government." 3 4 Dinner Sets at Cost.

Mr. Anderson, the florist, had been delivering flowers at tho Snyder home, near the B. & M. sta tion when the school children came along beating their drums Mr. Ander son had just got into the wagon and had the hone nearly under control when he started to kick, smashing th6 dashboard and breaking entirely loose, when he ran west on thirteenth street, Mrs. J. B. Geitzen and Mrs. F. A. Roberts and two children were driv ing' past the Thurston, Mrs. Geitzen saw the horse coming and pulled in close to the curb, bnt could not get entirely ont of the way and the hone struck the side of their carriage, tear ing off the two wheels on the oujer side as it dashed past. The ladies and children got ont withont- injury to themselves beside a little shaking and the nervous shock such an experience would occasion. Mr. Anderson found his horse tied to a post in fraf Friedhofs' store. DEMOCRATS OBJECT Resort to Technicalities ami Trickery to Nullify Kepuhli can Nominations and to Pro mote the Ernst-Bender Inter ests. In spite of the attempts of the demo cratic committee to "play horse" with the taxpayers of Platte county by rais ing legal technicalities to prevent an honest election of supervisors, the re publicans have succeeded in putting two men on their ticket who are sure to win and the enseof the third, A. E. Priest of Monroe, will lie settled in district court tomorrow on mandamus proceed iogs. The republicans nominated Blaser in Ernst's district; Schnre in lender's dis trict and Priest in Kiernan's district. The democratic committee was afraid of a fair fight, so they filed objections with County Clerk Graf on technical grounds. the chief one being that sufficient notice wasnotgivin of the republican nomi nating conventions. Meanwhile Blaser bad been prevailed upon to decline and J. H. Johannes 'by some means got possession of Blaser's resignation. With the resignation in his pocket he withdrew tbe objection filed against Blasers nomination, be lieving that the republicans were not aware of Blaser's resignation and hoping to keep it hidden until too late for the republicans to fill the vacancy. Thns by resorting to trickery it was hoped to give Ernst the field without an oppon ent, The game was balked, however, and tho republican committee straight way named Wm. J. Newman, an ex-sup ervisor and one of the best men in the county to fill the vacancy. Jacob Schnre, of Humphrey, whose nomination wns objected to by F. J. Pratt, evinced a desire to run by petition, on the same basis with Peter Bender. He therefore brought in a petition with 300 signers secured in two days, while Bender's petition had less than 2f0 signers with ten days work. It should be said to the credit of a number of democrats in the court house that they opposed the idea of trying to steal the offices of supervisor by trickery and technicalities. But the machine knows it needs its Ernst and Bender for supervisors as much as.it needs its Rat- term nn and Carrig, hence its action. Geo.
