If miy person elected to any county oflico at the last general election has failed to have his ofllcinl bond executed , filed and approved on or before Thursday , January 3 , 1&S9 , his oflice has become vacant by reason of such failure.

Chambers' Journal : According to the way in which this arrangement is now carried out , the first land that the now day dawns upon is Eabtor island , about 1KM ) miles west of the coast of Chili , South America. That is to say , July 12 breaks here within a few hours of the 1st , having broken on the American coast to the east , and the two days run alongside the I2d in Easter island and places west , the 1st in all places on the American continent. Wo may , there fore , realize this idea that at 7iO : ! o'clock any morning of our lives in Great Britain the next day is commenc ing in the world , and is to bo found at this little island in the Pacific ocean , whence , in due course , it will travel round to us. But to have thus the start of the world is not an unmitigated ad vantage to those iblandors. Suppose one of them sails cast to America , what Is the result ? lie will find that they keep the day there under a different unto , and ha will have to reckon ono day in his calendar twice over to put himselt right with their notions. On the oihor hand , if an American crosses from east to west this wonderful Nmagio line where the day begins he will find the dates in this fresh part of the world nro ono in ad vance of him and ho must needs striUo a day out of his calendar to keep up with the times. Tills fact was curiously illustrated in the case of Magellan , the Portuguese captain , who sailed around the world from east to west In 1522 , and having crossed the magio line of "day's birth'1 in his wanderings , his calendar became , of course , a day in urrear. The sailors were completely ignorant of this , and finding on landing at homo , that their Sabbath was falling on a Monday , they accused ono another of tampering with the reckoning. It was not for Bomo time that the true and.simple explana tion of the wonderful loss of tune , was discovered ; * i ItAVORN ItllOS , IjaillcV nnd ClilMren's ClonkH on MOM- dj y , kTainnnry 7.

TUB Bin representative visited nearly all of tlio commission linns to get the sentiment of the weighing of stock as it it being done by the Western Weighing association ami In spection bureau at South Omaha. The sen timent is very positive and almost unani mous against the system or against the workings : C. C. Clifton , of Dorsey Bros , it Clifton , said : "Tiio weighing is a farce. It is n benefit to the railroad companies and a curse to all shippers. As shippers are injuriously affected , commission mou are indirectly in jured. " J. Samuel Gosnoy , of the firm of Paddock & Gosnpy , thinks it benefits the railro.id companies alone. "In all of our business , " ho said , "tho weighing association's weights are heavier thuu tlio actual weights ; as an example , ono lot of hogs yesterday weighed 10,000 pounds moro by tlio now scale report than the real weight. As an illustration of the unfairness anil in justice of the now order of things , one of our shippers sent hi a load of seventy-one light pigs weighing 11,270 pounds , averaging only IBS pounds. Ho asked for a small car , was furnished a large , 17,000-pound ca < - nnd was charged for 17,000 pounds , although ho only shipped 11/370 pounds. In the beginning , this weighing will injure the shipper , but it maybe reduced and equalized so that no one except individual shippers of their own small lots will be injured. Hegular buyers and shippers will bo able to control the loading so as not to bo injured. " John Dadisman , of Woods Bros. , thinks "it is all right to weigh , but weighing should bo uono promptly , and stoelfshould be run in the yards without delay. At times trams have been kept on the sidetracks for two hours. If weighing cannot bo done without delay with ono sot.of . scales , then sufficient should bo put in to do the work without im peding business. My only objection to weigh ing is the delay caused'by Cwcighing , or , rather , the lack of weighing facilities. 1 think that within a month the rates will bo regulated so as to bo satisfactory to all ship pers , and the freight rates will not bo raised. " G. W. Jackson , of Jackson & Co. , thinks "weighing is a nuisances It is injurious to both shippers and commission men , and all ultimately falls on the shippers and raisers. Shipments , to Chicago for instance , have been detained until the second day , and suits have been brought for damages for delays. Some delay here but not much , but there would have been much delay if receipts had been liberal on cattle and hogs. " J. B. Ferrall , of I-'errall , Mauley & Co. , thinks "weighing 'a nuisance. It delays stock and adds about 5 cents to expenses , all of which ultimately comes oft the raisers and shippers. It delays business some. " James G. Martin , of Martin Bros. , has "not seen very much of weighing but thinks it hardly practical. The system will huvo to bo in better shape than now to inako it suc cessful , and by the time railroads and people have had experience enough to know what it is , both will bo tired of it. " J. A. Hake , of Hosenbaum Live Stock com pany , thinks "the system a farce. It is a , jug-handlo arrangement , all in favor of the railroad companies , and charges are made on the full capacity of the cars , and also all overweiehts. but deductions will not bo al lowed for less than full capacity. The charges on a load of hogs from Wilcox , of 14,000 pounds , were between $3 and $4 moro than the former rate on cars containing 17,000 to 18,000 pounds. Seth W. Eddy , of Hover 13ros. , thinks "weighing a nuisance. Wo kept thrco ship pers hero a whole half a day bopause we could not get the association weights. Moro than that , the sudden stoppage of the cars on the scales in order to weigh { fast in jures the stock. We have hail stock badly Injured. Our shippers are kicking , as the new system costs nearly $2 a car moro freight. " E. C. Haywood , of Forrall , Manloy & Co. , says : "It Is a direct stab at the grangers and granger law , and u detriment to ship pers. " Draper Smith , of Kcenan & Smith , thinks "tho system all wrong. It delays stock and with a heavy run would delay it from ono to five hours. Stock ought to bo weighed if at all at point of shipment as Is the case with all other freights. " Solomon Hopper , of Parkhurst , Hopper & Parker , has no opinion , as weighing has not been long enough to give a trial. J. II. Hothwell , of Creighton , shipper and feeder , started with ono of the smallest Noithwostcrn car with 20OJO-lb capacity , containing seventeen cuttle , weighing 24MX ) , and paid fci'.20 ) freight. This is J9.2J freight moro than the former rate. I think it will niiso the rates from the neighborhood of Creighton at least 23 per cent. J ook at Thin. All kinds of merchandise and per sonal property wanted in exchange for improved farms and wild land. Foreign Emigration Co. , U , 2 & 3 1502 Fnrnnm st. A I'rcnclicr Turns The troubles between the Control Christian church , of Columbus , O.and its pastor , Rov. Fred Boll , culminated in a personal encounter at a meet ing of the church ollicials , between the pastor and Elder Flinn. Rov. Boll came here some months agoand , secur ing tliis pastorate , soon began to ( Irow such large congregations by his sensa tional sermons , Unit the church proved too .small , and ono of the opera houses was secured for the Sunday evening meetings. Suddenly there came bad re ports following1 him from diiloront places in Ohio whore ho had preached , and also from Brooklyn and Netting ham , accusing him of deserting his wife nnd defrauding creditors. The cluirch ofllcials wore divided upon the question of retaining him , and it was to discuss thiH question that the church ollluiuls met. Elder Flinn opposed the pndtor. Ho e.aid the church would bo cowardly not to dismiss him. Rov. Boll was present and essayed to answer. Elder Flinn replied : "Fred Boll , I have in my pocket evidence thnt proves you a genuine fraud. " At this the pastor tried to mnko an assault on the older , but was prevented by a brother. The discussion was soon after renewedwhen Rov.

The boys were mostly asleep or out shooting jack-rabbits , but it wasn't over bcvon minutes after the Terror uttered his first whoop that ho lay a wilted daisy on the street. The cor oner counted eighteen bullet holes in his body , and humbly observed that there was no call for an inquest. The ago of the Terror has passed. There was a time when it was consid ered real funny for a tough to capture u town and pop over a do/.on leading citi zens , and his picture was certain to ap pear in sumo illustrated paper as a hero , but that time has gone by. Ter rors have become dog cheap , and no ono wants to buy. The coroner has our thanks for his kindness toward us in this particular case. Wo are trying to grow some cat nip and asparagus in our back yard , and ho gave us the body of the Terror as a fertilizer. We should like two or three more , and trust that our friends will bo on the lookout to supply us. Not Our Fault. Wo want it distinctly understood that wo had nothing what ever to do with the unfortunate acci dent that occurred on Jackass Hill last Tuchday evening. Mrs. General Fcatherstono issued cards for a high coffee , and most of the elite of the town had gathered at her two-story adobe , when the sheriff swooped down and took away seven prisoners , mostly charged with horse stealing. We neither gave thorn away nor know that such a raid was intended , but this proves anew the folly of such gath erings. Society wants to show offj of course , but what's ' the use in collecting a crowd for the benefit of-tho sheriff ? Ho Must Go. While wo have no per sonal feeling against Major Bigdcn , the present postmaster , the Hat has gone forth that ho must go , and it would be useless for us to defend him. Indeed , when ono looks over the past year ho must conclude that the major has only himself to blame. The charges against him are : 1. Running the oflice on the one-man power principle. In a new town like this all the boys want ahaud in running the postolllce. 2. Refusing to circulate among the baleens and poker rooms and show that ho didn't feel above the boys. 8. Putting on a heap of btylo when ever an inspector ib here and refusing to introduce the boys. Ho must go. He might bo an orna ment in Now York or Philadolph'a , but ho is too rich for the blood of a new western town. Becoming Serious. Those young' men who make a practice of firing into Tlio Kicker oflico on their way up town at night may bo extracting a great deal of fun over it but wo are not. As long us they lired high no particular damage was done except to the stovonipo , but of late several bullets have whistled too close to our couch for comfort. Wo have been patient and forbearing , not wanting to deprive the boys of any legitimate amusement , but this lirlng must bo stopped or wo bhnll take vigor ous measures agaiiibt the shooters. Hit Us Wrong Wo have several times announced that wo had our "on" spoils and our "oil" spoils in regard to lighting , and that citi/ons who tackled us mubt take their chances. Last Fri day the old broken-backed hyena who edits the opposition sheet saw us gut a letter in a mourning envelope at tlio iostolllco , and ho concluded it would be an "oil" day with us and pitched in to got satisfaction. The mourning en velope enclosed a letter from the bank at Tubcon , giving notice that a draft bent for collection had boon , much to our astonishment , collected. The old reptile above referred to therefore hit us dead wrong , and ho had no sooner put up his dukes than wo went for him and had him hollering for mercy inside of live minutes. Ho says in h'is ibsuo of yesterday that ho thought wo wore trying to draw a gun on him , but that is too thin. What ho really thought was that wo had hit him ' witli'a ton iif granite. Wo Had To. Wo understand that some of our leading citizens blame us for tlio arrebt of Colonel Jim Drake , who was pinched nnd taken to Omaha the other day. Wo did write a letter to the shorilT that Jim was here and could bo had any day in the week , but wo had to. Ho not only persistently refused to subscribe for The Kicker , but ho avoided our grocery and dealt with non-advertisers. In addition to this Jim was getting pulled up nnd con ceited , and ho had an idea that ho was running the town. Wo want to bo friendly with nil , but wo must bo used right. The llrst duty of every man in this town who knows ho is wanted by a shorilT anywhere is to come in and subscribe. Price $2 per year , in variably in advance. . i - A Vessel Bunk.

Much sickness prevails in town at present. Nearly every family has been afflicted moro or loss with what appears to bo an epidemic in the form of a mild typo of lung fever.

Just as tlio magic words were being uttured , whicb were to make Frame Urazda and Laura Woltzol man and wife , about sixty of the parishioners of Dodge forced their intruding presence upon the scene , much to the surprise and chagrin of the surprised and unsuspecting lovers. Afterward they were accompanied to the homo of IJr. Person , where the bride has been staying , and a thorough good time was hud by all.

Electrical World : The gas Interests and everything allied to thuin have in the past been looked upon as natural enemies of the electric light , nnd prob ably with reason. But , happily , this fooling of animosity IB rapidly dying out , and in its plnco we IIml a willing ness on the part of the gas men not only Lo acknowledge the true value of the electric light , but oven to embark in its exploitation. With the way thu-i paved it seems not improbable that the gas in terests may , to a certain extent , prove a valuable'aid to the projectors of the idea of placing electrical conductors underground * in our large cities. We are led to this belief by the conteinpla lion of the curious experiment , by end of the metropolitan gas companies , of connecting two of Us works by moans of a telephone wire placed in the caa mains , the first trial of which has , in deed , proved so successful that the prac tice is about to bo extended by thorn on a larger scale. The results so far ob tained indicate that oven with the ordinary insulation wires may bo Bucccsslully maintained In such mains , nnd that the destroying qualities of gn ? , so much complained of when the latter is added to the action of ordinary mois ture , do not osist under the give n cir cumstances. Of course , It is not to bo assumed that such a system of running conductors can take the place of a reg ular one. especially adapted for that purpose , but as an auxiliary , the em ployment of giis mains as oliH'tric con duits seems to be by no means an Utopian scheme. KftVol of Klcctrlc IjiKht * on OIH. ; Chicago Journal : "Do you suppose ) tno electric lights have much ollVet on the gas business'1" ; said out1 business man to another. "Yes. 1 suppose it cuts into the gas prollts considerably , " ho replied. "Well , that is just where vou nro mis taken. " wild the llrst speaker. "ThiB idea of getting light is just liite many other things the moro wo have tlio moro wo want. A gentleman con nected with the gas olllco , and owning stock , told mo that the roeqipts of the company tire us largo in the aggregate in the business part of the city as they were when electric lights wore the ox- coption. The ollicors of the company explain it in this way : They wiy that whole n big concern puts in its own plant and lights the Interior and tlio front by electricity , it demands morp gas jots in the alloys and in the rear to keep the shiner in' front from making tho.se places dark and dangerous. Then , too , the places either way will take on an Egyptian darkness. In thin way the places with plants often require some additional gas lamps , and the neighborhood is sure to require many moro. In most cases , too , larger burn ers or jets are demanded , and thcso things all consume irns. " 1 ' ' " - - i i AMUSEJIHNTS. Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday , January Tth , 8th and Uth.
