The election for city ofllcers yesterday
was strongly contested , a lively fight
being waged at every polling place be
tween the republicans , democrats and
prohibitionists. Asa consequence tickets
were badly cut ami mixed , and the
judges had an all-night's job counting
them. At 12JO : ! the returns were received
only from the First and Second wards ,
which combined give Parsons , 'the repub
lican condidato for police judge , ll-l ma
jority over Montgomery and George , the
democratic and prohibition nominees.
In the First ward Brock , the republican
candidate for councilman , has 183 major
ity. John Fraas , republican , is elected
in the second ward by 100 majority , and
Shabcrgand Magoon , republican can
didates for school trustees , hayo MU ma
jority in the two wards. it
is estimated that the Third
and fourth will give about the same.
This injures a clean sweep for tlio re
publicans on all the olllccs. The pro
hibitionists were out in force and took
second place , outvoting the democrats
and , in some instances , coming danger
ously near to the winning party.

narian :
LINCOLN , April 0. To Gov. Dawes
Dear Sir : It is with regret that 1 feel the
necessity of tendering my resignation its
veterinarian of tlm Suite of Nebraska. 1
do so after careful reflection , taking into
consideration all things connected with
the position as well as my poisonal wishes
and the wishes of my family. The duties
of tlie olllco are laborious , and it is to be
regretted that under the present law
competent expert assistants cannot bo
employed. It is with feelings of pride
ami pleasure that in retiring from thu
oflire I can state that with the active co
operation of. and the faithful work per
formed by tlio live stock sanitary coin-
mission , the veterinary sanitary work in
this state , though limited , has been a suc
cess. With a tew amendments the pros-
-out law can bo made the most perfect of
any in the United Status. In tendering
my resignation , 1 wish to express thanks
for the kind and courteous treatment re
ceived at the hands of the commission.
Thanking you for the trust and confi
dence placed in 1113 * ability , and for tlio
many kindnesses and courtesies extended
to me by you during the short time I have

After consultation with the members of
the commission , the governor decided to
accupt tlio resignation , with the under
standing that Dr. Gerth , at the request of
the commission , will remain until his
successor is appointed , which ho con
sented to do. What reasons , if any , be
yond a desirp to get back to his old work
and associations in the cast , induced Dr.
Gerlh to resign are unknown. The posi
tion is worth $2,500 a year , and while the
duties are exacting and not always
pleasant , it is considered one of the host
within the gift of the executive. Dr.
Gerth's determination to give it up dotes
back to hist winter , when ho expressed
to the UEB representative a longing for
the iloshpots of New Jersey , whither ho
will go as soon as his successor is in
stalled. Who that successor will bo can
I only bo guessed at. If Dr. Ramacciotti
of Omaha will accept the place , however ,
it is a safe wager that he will have an
opportunity of doing so.

Chief Engineer Quick and Warden
Nowbury , ot tlio lire department , are at
work on their annual report for tlio 3 car
ending April 0 , 1880. The report will
show a total loss by tires during tlio
twelve months of $15,270 , on which there
was insurance to tlio amount of $14,1GO.
The department responded to thirty-two
alarms , of which twenty-seven wore ac
tual fires. Seventy per cent of the fires
wore started by defective Hues and
stove pipes projecting through roofs , 10
per cent by carelessness , and the rest by
unknown causes. The water works have
proven entirely satisfactory , there being
an abundant supply and good pressuio
whenever needed. The engineer and
warden will recommend that the mains
and hydrants bo extended on O street to
Antelope bridge , in order to protect that
fast growing neighborhood. Tlio pur
chase by the city of a now Hayes truck ,
a hose-cart , 1,203 feet of hose , team of
horses , and new bell for the engine
house , will also bo requested.
The lire department and police force
are now installed in tlio now building on
Historical square , which is one ot the
handsomest and best arranged for the
purpose in the United States. The
ground floor is 00x70 , and divided into two
compartments. The south side is occu
pied by the fire apparatus , and stables
" for the horses for the hose cart and
"V steamers. Everything is worked by
electricity so that by one pressure on a
Btnull button the horses are released from
their stalls , thu harnesses dropped on
their backs , and the doors swung open.
The north side is reserved for police
headquarters and city jail. The guar
dians of tlio pcacu have a neat room in
front , while in the roar , partitioned off
by tui iron door , are live good cells ,

planks , and furnished with iron
grate doors. Up stairs the

The Supply Town n r the IJosclniil
Indian Agency ami Fort. Niobrnra.
VAUKNTINIJ , Neb. , April { . LCorrcs-
; ) ondenco of the BKI : . ] No town in No-
jraska has gathered such a notoriety as
Valentine and there are but few people
n the northwest but have hoard of the
county scat of Cherry county. Although
wo call Valentino old it was only com
menced to bo built in 1832. The town
; ias now passed its rough period , for
which it was n few years ago noted , and
is now inhabited by the refined people of
which a model town is composed. After
the railroad had passed on beyond and
made Chadron the end of the division it
was the natural supposition that Valon-
ino's future prospects were blasted :
jut not so , the town now receives an
mmcnso trade , and is the only town
ilong the line , ( the road is not yet con
structed to Fort Robinson ) which receives
mtronago from a government post. Fort
Siobrara is only four miles from the town ,
mil comprise live companies , which give
Valentino a largo trade , which but few
owns receive. Tim settlers of Cherry
county arc also greatly bcnclilted by this
ocation of the tort. For example , ! } 3,000
cords of wood will be wanted this season ,
and at sfli.OO per cord amounts to § 21,000 ,
Ul of which the granger receives , who ,
in time , converts this into the require
ments of life , most of which are pur
chased in Valentine , thus throwing into
the hands of the business men a largo
cash trade , which they would not other
wise receive. Whafalcntine now needs
is a Hour mill. Breadstuffs for the sol
diers and settlers , as well as for the in
habitants of the towns , numbering a.OOO ,
am shipped hero from the east , and
as the settlers of Cherry county
are now raising grain to the amount
of 30,000 to 00,000 bushels , there is no
reason why a mill could not bo located
hero at a profitable investment. In ad
dition to the patronage received from
the fort , Valentino is the location of the
United States land oilice , which bring
transients every day in largo numbers ,
giving tlie town a lively appearance and
the hotels an immense trade. Though
some advocating has boon done for the
removal of the land ollico , Valentino lias
possession , and probably will have for
future time. Messrs. Cornell and Sparks
were delegated by the citixcn.s to visit
Washington with a remonstrance against
the removal , have returned , and report
that a call ou Senator Van Wyck and
Congressman Dorsoy convinced them
that Valentino would still hold the land
office in the future as it has in the past.
Besides the above largo patronage which
tliis place is credited with. Valentino has
the supply depot for the Kosobud Indian
agency. About 10,000 of those dusky crea
tures got their supplies hero , and bring
to the town their trade , which is no small
item. As wo have horetorfore stated ,
many predicted that after Valentino had
ceased to bo the terminus of the railroad
it would never bo a permanent business
center , but in this thoj' have been agreea
bly disappointed , for while its old time
"boom" has gone further westward , tak
ing with it the rougher clement , the town
is uoing a largo business , as is evidenced
by the mammoth business establishments ,
as that of Thacher , Cornell & Co. and
Trucsdoll & .Feiincr , who carry heavy
stocks of general merchandise. The for
mer establishment are also post traders
at Fort Niobrara , Mr. Cornell is also
president ot the Cherry County bank.
Wo also noticed an exclusive grocery and
flour and feed store , of which E. Elsoy
was proprietor , ami is doing a largo busi
ness , as are most of the business
houses of Valentino. These acquaint
ed with tlio rapid growth and Kct-
tlemtnt of the country and its boom are
tlio land agents and hotel mon. The old
est land agent of Cherry county is Mr.
Dennis Daly , whoso business is exceed
ingly good , Air E. P. Warner , attorney
at law , docs a largo business at his legal
work and u person to whom wo are in
debted for much information regarding
the town and county. The largo tran
sient trade is also attested by tl.o register
of the Valentine House and the Ray
House , The latter business is conducted
by Dr. N. B. Ray , who is also a leading
physician of tlio town. Both houses are
first-class and furnish excellent accommo
dations for the weary travelers , The
Valentino House is managed by landlord
Donahor.
Owing to the Increased rain-fall tlio
county , which heretofore has been styled
with such epithets ; ts "Desert and Hills"
has been redeemed , ana now the land of
northwest Nebraska and especially
Cherry county , is capable of producing as
largo crops as any in tlie state. Although
this country is being rapidly settled up
there are still thousands of acres of land
ricli and fertile , eubjcct to government
entry , and those persons contemplating
taking the advice given by Greeley years
ago "Go west young man and grow up
with tie country , " could do no better
than to settle in Cherry county. A.
General'Howard returned yesterday
from Chicago , and is packing up for
'Frisco. He is expecting his ollicial com
mission. AH soon as it arrives lie will
start at once for his now post of duty on
the Pacific coast.
At his own request the contract of Act
ing Assistant Surgeon Amos W. Barber ,
U , S. A. , will be annulled by tlie com
manding otlicur , Fort D. A. Russell ,

A MODEL FRONTIER POST ,
An Interesting Description of Port
Niobrara.
The Nolahlc Inipporcnictits tlmt have
Jlccently.ljeen Mntlc Convenient ,
Coinfortrxlile mid Attrno *
tire Quarters !
FortTNioniuuA , Neb. , April B. [ Cor-
rcspomlcnco of the UEK ] . This post
enjoys a. reputation for comfortnblo
quarters not often surpassed in thcs army.
The neat block houses , all on one floor ,
built in pairs , with broad porches and
low roofs , present mi attractive appear
ance outwardly , which is not contradicted
by tlio interiors. Eight-foot halls run
from front to rear. In thu main building -
ing there tire three rooms liftccn feet
square , well supplied with closets , and a
bath room and small dressing room ad-
joining1. In the rear L are n dining room ,
kitchen and servant's room. The pairs of
houses stand about 70 feet apart , giving
good space for grass plats and llowcr
beds in front , and kitchen gardens mid
outbuildings in the roar. Civilians might
not bo awestruck at such accommoda
tions , but an army olliccr accustomed to
frontier posts think them palatial.
During the past uutunin and winter ,
however , six new sets of officers' quar
ters ( three double houses ) have been con
structed on the same general plan as the
older buildings , but with improvements
and adornment , which make them mar
vels of achievement for the money ex
pended.
The total nupropriatlon for the enlarge
ment of the post , tor 183- , was ? o,000 ( )
more than half of winch was required for
now barracks and stables , leaving less
than $1-1,000 for the six setts of quarters.
The high price of freights and of skilled
labor on tlio frontier reduces materially
the purchasing power ot money , as com
pared with more settled regions ; yet ,
under the wise administration of Gen.
ISrisbim ! , commanding the post , and the
conscientious fidelity of Air. GPO.
11. Jcwett , of Sidney , Neb. , con
tractor , the new houses are not
only superior in construction to the old
ones , but such economy lias been used in
essentials , that a neat surplus was avail
able for decorations and for out-build
ings. The main hall is made to open on
the rear porch , instead of having the din
ing-room a thoroughfare. The hall floor
is laid in narrow boards of hard pine , the
alternate boards stained black walnut.
The transom and side lights of the front
door are filled with stameu glass , and a
permanent curtain polo is sot ataconven-
iont distance from tlio front entrance , for
screening of the rear hall. All the walls ,
in .tho main buildings , arc finished in
paint , a difVercnt tintHieing used for each
room , and the wood-work grained to
harmonize , with wide cornices unit pic-
lure mouldings. The parlors have a pro
jecting chimney , "breaking the line of
sight , and affording convenient recesses
for book case or lounge. The parlor
mantles are of marbleixed slate , with
open fire-places and steel grates , and tiio
parlor windows pro fitted with metal cur
tain rods. Tim dining rooms are separ
ated from tlio kitchens by short passage
ways , with door at each end , flanked by
china closet and butler's pantry on either
side. A barn , with stalls for horses and
cows , is attached to each set of quarters ,
and the grounds are graded up witli rich
soil , and enclosed with open-work fences.
Three new sots of barracks , with sta
bles , have been erected. The most no
ticeable improvement on tlio old barrack
is an admirable system of ventilation ,
contrived by Post. Surgeon , Major Lip-
pineott. Tlio fresh air is supplied" by
register in tlio floor communicating with
shafts which take the cold air eight or
nine feet above ground , and bring it to
the base of the btoves. Tlio exhausts in
the ceiling are so connected with cliim-
nies as to ensure tlio removal of the foul
air in winter , when doors and windows
are not available for ventilation in this
climate.
When it is considered tlmt the appro
priation for these buildings was not avail
able until July last , and that the adobes
of which the walls arc built wore in the
hillsides until the middle of August , and
wore laid up in the walls before frost
came , the energy which has boon dis
played in tills work will bo appreciated.
It has been so well appreciated at department -
mont headquarters that Gen. Brisbin lias
been detailed to conduct the proposed
enlargement at Fort Hobinson , and it is
to 1)0 uopod that Mr. Jcwett will secure
the contract for that work also. Cer
tainly tlio government is not otton so
well served as it has been in disbursing
tlio appropriation for Fort Niobrara.
Tlio night school for unlisted men lias
just been closed for tlio season. It has
been a great success , having an enrolled
membership of fifty-four , mostly colored
troops. Many mon who did not know
their letters at the beginning of tlio sea
son now read and write with consider
able facility , and the pride with which
they "sign the pay roll" is pleasant to
witness , It is but due to Gon. linsbin to
Bay Unit the success of this enterprise
also is largely his work. The superin
tendent of post schools has never asked
twice for any facilitv which it was in the
power of tlio commanding oilicer to
furnish. The Sunday night service at
the post lias been made choral , " and
the mini sing the Litany , Creed and Lord's
I'rayor with great spirit. There are ninny
line voices among the colored troops
especially , and they have a natural talent
for rhyme and tune. Tlio musical re
sponses to the Litany from n hundred
men's voices would do credit to a catlio-
dral. J. V. LKWIS ,

HAY SritlNGS.
A noomiiiK Town In Stierlilnn County
Its Growth anil Future
I'rowpectN.
HAY SiMiiNGS , Neb , , April 3. [ Carres-
pondouco of the HER. ] While other
towns in tlio northwest are advertising
their booming and flourishing condition
it is but right that Hay Springs should
have its say. This place is one of the
many towns in northwest Nebraska whoso
future success is inevitable. A genuine
marvel is the towns that have sprung
into existence west of the sand hills , not
the mushroom camps with a number of
saloons in touts mid the usual class of
population of which tlioy aro'composod ,
but good substantial towns , with hand-
gome buildings , largo stores well stocked
with goods and having from the begin-
niusr an immense trade , mid Hay Springs
is ono of the latter class. Although this
place has experienced the misfortune of
a severe conflagration , which destroyed
nearly one-third ot the town , the inhabi
tants soon to rebuild largo costly
buildings over tlio charred ruins of those
which were consumed and now tlio town
presents a much better appearance than
before. Hay Springs is situated in the
western part of bhorldan county a
county which is 09 miles long north and
south by 30 miles wide east ami west , and
a county which for fertility of soil U tin-
excelled. The soil is a dark loam , easily
brought to a high state of cultivation and
capable of producing either grain or
fruit. The town now commands the
trade of the famous
UOJC liUTTK COUNTHY ,
which is the southeastern portion of
Uawes county , and which is a Uuu agri
cultural comilrjK ftnU with equity wo can
eay it has the notoriety of bofng the finest
farming and aniRtng country in the
whola northwest The Spring is situated
on the F. E. & M. V. 11. H. , and has a
prospect of attaining a line of tlio B. &M.
in the near future ; 'which will then [ cjivo

appellation - a "railroad center ,
togcthcrgwith the ' "agricultural city of
the northwest. " ' J'ho village
IS ttfCOKt'OUATED ,
and compares , an every respect , favor
ably to the eastern Now England town of
the same size. , On church society Con
gregational is inlroady established , and
the Catholics w\u \ also soon organize and
build. It will be thus scon that the good
cause of religion is'gradually , but slowly ,
working its way westward. There has
also been erected a building in which to
teach the "young idea , " and It will bo
readily observed that the advantages of
the eastern town are no better than those
offered here. There is now plenty of
nir.i : iiovr.HNMr.NT I.AXDS
in Sheridan county and in the Box Butte
country , and a land-seeker could do no
better than to stop at this place and
journey into thejrurals , and take up a
quarter or half section of land. gMonied
men looking for investments can specu
late every day to nn advadtago , ana the
inducements offered by Hay springs are
certainly worthy of investigation.
Among the. business intnrcsts of the town
we mention thejfollowing
UIAPlNd HUMS ,
in general merchandise : U'attcrmnn &
Co. and A. MeKimu-.y , lead the trado.
The former carries a stoe.k of about $0,000
and the latter about ! ? 10,000. Both are
thorough business men. Mr. McKinucy
is at present county treasurer , and an
ableollieor.
F. E. Bryson , druggist , lias a stock of
$5,000 , and his improvements are first-
elass.
In hardware Thompson & VanVoprhis
and E. C. Brewer are the leading firms ,
and both firms have contracted costly
buildings in which to carry on their
busiue.ss. The former firm has also an
agricultural implement establishment at
this place.
J. F. Powers , real estate agent and
furniture dealer , docs an extensive busi
ness.
ness.Tho bank of ( Mover & Martin , with
James F. Smith manager , is a strong
institution.
Hay Springs has also all of the different
business houses usually found in a town
of the same si/.c , among which is u car
riage factory , harness factory , etc.
The latter business is conducted by Mo-
Donald & Heck.
Hay Springs now has throe hotels ,
among which is the City hotel , owned by
Bartlett & MeNair , and alirst-elass house
in every respect , and worthy of the pa
tronage of all classes.
All business houses are doing a rushing
business , and a building boom is in pro
gress. Theic arc now from ten to twelve
buildings under construction. During
the month , from the first , nearly seventy
cars of immigrant stock and goods have
been landed at this place , anil the dally
number of cars are rapidly increasing.
The present population of Hay Springs
is about GOO , and ere many months wo
think the towii.will show a census of
2,000or more. ' , , A.
