The supreme court has handed down a number of important decisions , among them being the decision on the bond ca o in n precinct In Howard countv. This precinct issued $13,000 in bonds to a branch of the Union Pacific , and the auditor , under ndvico of the attorney general , refused to register them on the ground of illegality in issue. The ille gality was claimed ki the call for the election at which the honds wore voted , only twenty-seven freeholders signing the. call for the election when the law requires lifty such signers. The railroad took the case to the supreme court on mandamus proceedings to compel the registration of the bonds , but the court has decided against the company. Fol lowing are the decisions handed down : 1'rico vs > U'Coma.s. Error from Lancaster county. Keversed and remanded. Opinion by Maxwell , Ch. J. 1.

The fact that before the levy of the attachment certain steurs had been sep arated from the whole number , and claimed under second mortgage , would be unavailing as against such creditors unless it was shown that at the time the mortgage was executed there was an agreement that it .should apply to such steers.

The remedy for the recovery of real estate by one claiming the legal title thereto , against one. in possession claim ing an estate therein , is an action of ejectment in which the faets may bo sub mitted to a jury ; nnd an action to quiet title , if properly objected to , will not lie. 2. Whuru a party out of possession of real cstato brings an action to quiet title , and the defendant answers alleging a cloud upon his title caused by the plain tiff's ducd und prajing for a decree can celling the same , tlio court will huvo jurisdiction to determine. Iho title of the respective parties. A dufuct wliich ap pears on the fncu of the petition should bo taken advantage of by demurrer. 3. A quit claim deed of real cstato , while affording cause for suspicion , may , where it appears in a chain of title oil the proper records of the county , be sufficient to justify a bona lido purchaser for valu able consideration , in relying upon it as a valid conveyance. It is a bona lido puiv chaser for valuable consideration and not a donee who is protected. 1 One Shirk , in 1802 , convoyed certain real estate to one Snowden. who failed to record his ducd. In IS'30 ' Snowden died , and in 1870 one Pee sought to purchase the land of Shirk , but was informed that it was sold and convoyed to Snowdun. Pou then applied to the adult heirs , and administrator of thu cstato of Snowdun. and the guardian of the minor heirs , and was informed that thu deed in question had been lost or destroyed. Pou there upon purchased the laud , taking dueds from the adult heirs , and with their con sent a quit claim deed from Shirk , which last deed he placed on record. Held , that a bona lido tmrchosur for a valuable consideration from a grantee of Pee took thu title as against an heir , who was a minor atthe _ time thu ducd from Shirk was obtained , but a mere donee from Pou was not so entitled. 5. Where heirs como into a court of equity to claim an interest in lands which have not been convoyed , but which havu been held adversely by other parties for a long period , they innst do equity by paying a just proportion of the taxes and the interest duo thereon. 0.

When the policeman in charge of the jail opened up the prison headquarters lie found that a part of the prisoners had not been at sleep through the night , but that the four parties sentenced lor rob bery at the Howard house had made their escape.

McLean's I Volcanic Oil Liniment ABOUTRAILROAD CARNISDEES A History of How Creditors Enforce Pay ment Against Union Pacifio Employes. PROSPECTS FOR A REMEDY. Instances of Wrongs Committed by Courts How the Liavr Operates on tlio Ncfornskn aide A l-'e\v Tacts About the Courts. At tlio recurrence of the first of each month tlio paymaster of the Union Pacilic railway company is besieged by garnhhec notices from various point along the line. The principal place from which these processes arc Issued is Council Ulufl's. This has been so only about two years , since the time the supreme coin t of this state handed down the opinion lu the case of the Chicago , Burlington & Qtiincy railway company vs Wright , reported in the nineteenth of Nebraska. In that suit it was att"inpted to enforce the payment of u debt against a defendant , the head of a family , resi dent of lowi : and un employe of the Chicago cage , Hurlington & Quiucy railroad com pany by an attachment and garnish ment against his wages , issued from u justice court in Omaha. From an order by the justice to pay the wages , owing the defendant , into court , the case was taken linally to the supreme court where it was held that the money in contro versy was exempt. Jt had previously been the prevailing opinion among the justices throughout the state that the law in the case was otherwise and the result of this decision has been to drive the col lection of foreign claims against Union Pacilic employes and heads of "amilcs into states where the aw is more favorable to the creditor. As regards the exemption of wages here is'no state invaded by the Union i'acilio railway , whoio laws and courts operate more against the employe than 'n Iowa and the location of Council U nil's at the terminus of that line makes t a most advantageous point for the is suance of these processes. The supreme court of that great state has held that the 'aw of exempt wages applies onlv to res- dents of Iowa. U ho consequence has been to enforce the payment of nearly nil claims against Union Pacific employes [ it Council Haiti's the only place in Iowa where service of garni heo procc.ss can be legally made upon that corporation. The collections made through Council ISlntl's court" do not all come from places without this state , but many Nebraska creditors have learned that their accounts mil bo pushed to a successful termina- ion bv the aid of these tribunal.4. This .s particularly true , o not a lew Omaha creditors whose inability to make their collections against Union P.icilic em ployes in Douglas county courts , has driven them to the Iowa side of tin * river. With this combination of circumstances there has crown up the business for one or two citizens of that town of buying , or : it least , of having assigned to themselves thu.su rOKUIC.N CLAIMS lor collection. From these rcalj or fradnlent transfers one of two benefits iriso ; if real the Council Hhilis citizen makes a big profit on his investment in what was deemed by the creditors to be a worthless account , and if fraudulent , the claimant is saved the trouble of fur- lishing a bond or advancing the costs of suit. Tins business of late , however , HAS Ur.COMK A MONOPOI.Y nearly to one man. His name is David ilcrman , and .several employes of the company are horrilied daily to learn t ! at their wages have b. en garmshced m a Council Hlull's tribunal by a man having that name. .Jerinan is an old man now n his dotage , wears a fringe of grey whiskers under his chin , walks with a cane , has the appearance of a man at peace with the world and makes frequent visits to Omaha in the pursuit of his busi ness. Ho was formerly : v constable , but age seems to have dc-itrojcd Ins useful ness in that line and he has since resorted to the business ol enforcing chums in general and against the Union Pacilie ployes in particular. Jorman him- ll , it appears , rebels against Ins disa greeable business. He has st.ited to Union Pacilic ollieials that ho would not follow his present pursuit were it not that ho could'do nothing else. The rarnishees from Omaha and Council HliiHs number about hfty per month , and in fully 7o per cent , of these David .Jer- man appears as plaintiff. There were twelve garnisheps from Council Hind's re- reived at the Union Pacific headquarters on Friday last , and ton of them were in stituted by Jerman. The number of at tachments and garnishment suits against Union Pacilic employes from the Doug' las county courts varies from live to lif teen per month. COSTS. One of the great causes of complaint against the action of the Council Hlnll's officials is the matter of costs. The ini tial expense in an attachment and gar nishment ease is from four to six dollars. It is a universally established legal prin ciple in attachment cases where serviee of a summons cannot be had upon the defendant , that jurisdiction is obtained only by taking the property or money of the debtor into the custody of the Jaw. In the garniment cases instituted in the Hlntl's , however , the moment that the company is served with notice , and sev eral days , and some times weeks , before the garnished has made answer by wliich it may be known whether or not thcro is anything for the law to operate uponser vice by publication is commenced in some paper. An additional expense ol from thre.o to live dollars is incurred thereby to the defendant who linding him self not entitled in Iowa to the rights secured to him in the state of his residence , in nine cases out of ten is ob liged to sbtUo on the terms of the plain- till'to avoid further costs , trouble and loss of time. Another grievance arises Irom the avarice or rapacity of creditors. Hills winch by the law of the place ol contract are non-collectible , against which the statute of limitation has run , debts incurred in her own mime by the wife are sent to this place for enforce ment , and In many such cases the de fendant , being too poor to take his cause to tlio appellate tribunal , is forced to capitulate , and what never was an obli gation or what had ceased to bo such , is paid by the debtor. It has not been the policy of the Union Paeilio railway to hinder creditors in the collection of their honest claims where their debtor employes can pay without depiiving their families of the necessities of life , but against all such as have the appearance of being trumped up or fraudulent , it has made a persistnnt and generally unsuccessful fight. It has spent many hundreds of dollars in costs and attorney's fees and has taken tw ( test cases to the supreme court of Iowa , in both of which the company was da feutod. In the first case the defendant only was a resident of Nebraska , and the court of last resort held that his wage : were not exempt. In the secont both were residents of Nebraska and the company contending or the ground of want of jurisdiction , the court held that where thereis no franc in obtaining jurisdiction a non-resident could sue a non-resident and the lattcr's waires were not exempt. The supreme courts of Kansas , Missouri , Nebraska ant Illinois hold exactly the opposite ot the two cases mentioned. "Tho law" ( ot exemption ) said the sn premo cburt of Iowa many years ago ' in based upon tlio idea ( but as a matter of public policy for the promotion of the > ropcrry of the state , and to render inde.- ran'dcnt and aboVe want each head of no family of the cnreriinicnt , bo should jo so protected that ho may live beyond ho reach of financial misfortune and the lenmnds of creditors , who have given nm credit under such law. " This body lisregarding these principles so laid down 103 brought tears to many homes in this city and" allowed the wolf to look into he faces of famishing wives and children. Iho injustice of loi\a courts in many cases in this city lias oppressed the la- boringman's family , for it is against this class of workmen only that these laws apply with their terrible force. It has only been a few weeks ago that .ho writer met an acquaintance , a clerk it the headquarters , at the corner of Six teenth and Farnam streets. Hoinjr asked why he looked c'.eppondent , he said : "It s now long past my hours of toll , my wife who has been cuttlined to her bed 'or ' several weeks by sickness is , L know , waiting for my return , with my lastmonth's pav.and to-day noon L learned it was 'iiirnishetd across Iho Ivor for a butcher bill of ? 10. Our decor - or has refused to attend her further un- ess paid , my landlord has served mo with notice to quit and 1 Im'en't the teart to go home. ' ' The next day bo went to the Hlull's , paid the claim and co.sUs , and out of a salary of $111 per iionth had ? 'Ji left , The clerk admitted the bill was correct but siekue s and ncc- ss'ity Lad prevent' d its payment. An other case was that of a helper in thn shops. Several years ago Ills wife , in her own name , contracted debts , and the creditor , seeing no other way to make his ? laim , garnisheed the wages of tliu hus * jand. His wages per month never ev- ceeded ? . " > ( } . He had no means with wliich [ o ii.terpo o his defense and he settled on the terms of the phiintiu" . A s.u CAM : . The case of one llartlieb , a suit brought n Justice Holsli'v's court in this city some ten days ago. exemplifies tlio ex- .roniity to which this law drives the. laborer , llartlieb formerly lived 'n ' this city , was employed by the Union Pacific mil kept live or six boarders at his homo on South Tenth street. His employer i lie red him a better situation on the Mull's side and lie accepted it. About six months ago he moved with Ins family to C ; icil Haiti's , owing his grocer Jj-'JS.'lO A suit in attachment on the ground of non-residence was instituted against him , returnable last Saturday morning at t ) o'clock. The railway company answered it was owing tlio defendant ? 'JS.15. Saturday moraine before l ) o'clock when the justice cainu to his ollieo he found llartlieb , his wife and boy , about live veais old , waitingfor the arrival of the ollicial. They were all thinlv clad for such a cold winter morn ing , and their clothing , although patched in many places , \\-as scrupulously clean and neat. They were respectable Ger mans , ana prior to their coming to this country ho had been a machinist in tlio shops of Carlsrnhe , and slio bad been an employe in a cigar factory in the same place. When he realized the jeopardy in which monthly stipend was placed he could restrain his grief and anger no longer. He bewailed the fate that hud ever led him and his family from his fatherland , where he said they lived much more comfortably and respectably than they did in America. "For the last week,1' he continued , " 1 have worked on bread and coll'eo alouo. My wife and child have shared this same fare with me. 'v if you take my pay from me you eompej me either to apply to the county antnoritios for support lor my wife and child , or become a thiei and a robber. I was kept at work through the winter by my bo-s simply beciiiise 1 was an hon est laborer , and by this greatest effort 1 have kept my family from hunger anil cold , but the rigor of your laws is too severe for a poor man. " The justice re- lea cd tlio garnishment and Hartliob agreed to pay the tlebt when his employ ment became more regular. HLUUF IiSIIlKI : ) . The attorneys for the Union Pacilic have long been devising means to deter the issuance of the e processes against its employes and they have at hist con cluded to test the jurisdiction of the Iowa justices to issue attachments and gar nishments against non-residents. It is claimed by the railway attorneys that where the service of the Mimn.ons and order is not made personally upon the defendant , that the cpurlac'juirus 1:0 jur isdiction. To test this question the com pany has t.iken such case to the dL-ir.ot court ol Pottawattamie county and should an adverse decision be reached the cause will bo taken lor tinal determination to the supreme court. If defeated in this tribunal the only remedy possible is an appeal to the legislature of Iowa , but any relief from that body seems improbable an lutile at tempts in times past have been made. The operation of the inferior conns of Nebraska is generally'favorable to the .security of the rights of heads of fami lies , but expense , time and trouble are often incurred in obtaining them. The head of a family.when he linds his wages carnislieed , has often to employ the ser vices of an attorney to seeure thi-m. It has been suggested , and possibly may be come a law at this session of the legisla ture , that the alliant , when it is sought to garnisiiee the wages of the defendant , Mate in his affidavit for this process that lie verily believes that the employe is an unmarried man. If this should become u law the oft repeated garnishees against the same defendant , issued at the in- staneo of an irate creditor , to cause him the loss of his situation will in a great measure cease. The pain and mUerv suffered by those who are alllicted with dyspepsia are in describable. The distress of the body is equalled or surpassed by the confusion and torture of the mind , thus limbing the victims suffer double ailliction. The re lief that is given by Hood's Siirsnparilhi has caused thousands to bo th.mkf'il ' for this great medicine. It dispels the causes ot dyspepsia , and tones up the digestive orjjans.

[ pondenco of the HEK. ] Crawford is gut ting ready for the boom , which' is al ready putting in an appearance in Dawes county , in common with the remainder of Northwestern Nebraska. The citi zens met last week and organized an immigration cominittfu with ( Jeneral Hrisbin us president , and arranged for subordinate committees in every precinct in this part of the county , which is tribu tary to Crawford. Knquiries about the government land vacant in this vicinity are pouring in daily and spring will see a. , rush of new settlers unequalled in i the history of western Dawes county. . With a railroad running its entire length and thousands of acres of fine farming land still waiting homesteaders and prcomptors. Dawc- county in the neighborhood of Crawford offers unequalled advantages for the ff.rmor. Crawford is crowing steadily. The trade from Fort llobmson is an im portant element in furthering the material - ial interests of this community. With tlio enlargement of the post which is soon to begin , this will bo still further in creased while a largo amount of money will be exponed and distributed among our citizens in consequence. W. U.
