The Japanese juggler at the show Monday performed some wonderful feats, but the most mag- nificent affair was the speech of the after-conce- rt solicitor. We com- mend him to the good graces of the public, who look upon "elo- quence" as a gift from the gods.

That female who was observed by the larger portion of the crowd coming from the CQncert after the circus Monday night was not crazy as some supposed, she was "mad," for she was heard to remark, "If I could only find the man who per- suaded me to remain to that concert, I'd 'tickle him under the chin, again and again,' and it would be no gen- tle tickle cither, you bet !" City Council Proceeding. City Hall, Columbus, Neb.,) Saturday, Oct 5, 1S78. At regular meeting of the City Council this evening were present, his honor the Mayor, Charles A.

Langc and Ryan & Dechau. Referred to Judiciary Committee. The Clerk stated to the Council that Pat Murray desired to have .$3.70 deducted from the bill pre- sented for excavating cellar, owing to the fact that the city had not caused the removal of all the earth from his cellar. On motion, the Clerk was in- structed to collect whole amount of original bill. The City Marshal's monthly re- port was read and placed on file. Committee on Police were grant- ed further time to investigate charg- es against tho Marshal. Sidewalk Committee reported on ordinance as per instructions at last meeting. An ordinance to provide for the working of city prisoners was read first time. An ordinance to prevent the in- jury or destruction of public prop- erty wa3 read first time. On motiou, the rules were suspended and the bill passed second and third read- ings.

An ordinance entitled "Special ordinance for levying a special tax for the construction of sidewalks" was read first time. The rules were then suspended and it was read second and third time. On its final passage Councilmen Baker, Bur- gess, North and Pohl voted in the affirmative, in the negative none. The passage of the bill was an- nounced by the Chair.

An ordinance to appropriate mon- ey out of the general fund was in- troduced by Councilman North and passed first, second and third read- ing under suspension of the rules, and was approved by unanimous votcof all members present. Saloon keepers Paul Hoppcn, Samuel Gass, P. W. Schmitz and Win. Schroeder appeared to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked as provided in ordinance No. 09, they all having been ad- judged guilty of violating the pro- visions of said ordinance by keeping saloons open on Sunday. The evi- dence in each case was heard, and motion not to revoke license was made and carried in each instance. At the request of Samuel Gass his license was changed from lot 3 to lot 1 in block 117. The following preamble aud res- olution offered by North at previous meeting was taken up and on mo- tion adopted : Wheheas, It is believed by the members of the City Council that there is a desire on the part of a large number of the citizens of Co- lumbus to do away with the office of Night Police for the reason that it is an expense to the city for which there is very little need, therefore be it llcsolccd, That the office of Night Police be and the same is hereby declared vacant for the term of from November first, 1S78, uutil the ucxt general election.

The Clerk was also directed to issue warrants on special fund levied for the construction of side- walks agaiust such property and for amounts as specified in special ordinance levying such tax. On motion, Council adjourned. John Schram, City Clerk. In a conversation Saturday with one of our wheat buyers, he tells us to advise farmers to hold their wheat for a better market. The railroad was blocked, and it was impossible to obtain cars. He thought the reason of it was that great numbers, of cattle were bciug shipped from the west over the U. P., and that all the extra cars were being used for this work. In this trade they had to compete with the B. & M., but, east of Grand Island, they would get the carrying trade any how, and the other, having to be done now, they couldn't afford not to get it. This is one of the beauties of having no competition. The Era says that "every man who casts his vote against Mr. Hen- ry for commissioner will say by his ballot that he is opposed to an economical administration of our county affairs, opposed to every needed enterprise, opposed to low taxes, opposed to impartiality and an unswerving purpose to be and do right." Now we undertake to assert that Mr. Wise's record as commis- sioner (and our opinion is that he will be allowed to make a record) will show that he is not opposed to an economical administration of county affairs; that he is not oppos- ed to needed enterprise; that he is not opposed to low taxes ; that he is not opposed to impartiality and an unswerving purpose to be and do right. Whatever good the Era may have to say of the Democratic nom- inee, it ought not to be necessary for that sheet to slander the fair fame of Johu Wise, by saying that those who vote for him, are in favor of high taxes, uncalled-fo- r expendi- tures, partiality, economy and an unswerving purpose to do wrong. The chief business of an editor is still to keep lies out of his paper.

On motion, Council adjourned.John Schram, City Clerk.

In a conversation Saturday withone of our wheat buyers, he tells usto advise farmers to hold their wheatfor a better market. The railroadwas blocked, and it was impossibleto obtain cars. He thought thereason of it was that great numbers,of cattle were bciug shipped fromthe west over the U. P., and that allthe extra cars were being used forthis work. In this trade they hadto compete with the B. & M., but,east of Grand Island, they wouldget the carrying trade any how, andthe other, having to be done now,they couldn't afford not to get it.This is one of the beauties of havingno competition.

The Era says that "every manwho casts his vote against Mr. Hen-

ry for commissioner will say byhis ballot that he is opposed to aneconomical administration of ourcounty affairs, opposed to everyneeded enterprise, opposed to lowtaxes, opposed to impartiality andan unswerving purpose to be and doright." Now we undertake to assertthat Mr. Wise's record as commis-sioner (and our opinion is that hewill be allowed to make a record)will show that he is not opposed toan economical administration ofcounty affairs; that he is not oppos-ed to needed enterprise; that he isnot opposed to low taxes ; that he isnot opposed to impartiality and anunswerving purpose to be and doright. Whatever good the Era mayhave to say of the Democratic nom-

inee, it ought not to be necessaryfor that sheet to slander the fairfame of Johu Wise, by saying thatthose who vote for him, are in favorof high taxes, uncalled-fo- r expendi-tures, partiality, economy and anunswerving purpose to do wrong.The chief business of an editor isstill to keep lies out of his paper.
