In our article on our "Financial
Conditions," in the issue of January 17,
we made the statement that Oregon had
the only bank in Holt or Atchison coun
ties, that did not have any borrowed or
rediscounted money. Since looking over
it, we see that we were in error, as there
is one bank, in Mound City, that does
not have any borrowed or rediscounted
money.
Platte City has invested in a rock
crusher that will make from 75 to 100
perch of macadam per day. We believe
it would be n good investment for Ore
gon to do likewise, and when fellows
are sent up it- will be the means of
furnishing them employment to pay
their fines, besides, the streets around
the public square would in time become
macadamized.
The Brookfield Gazette last week
gave a very extensive review ot the as
sessment of Linn county for 189C taxes,
and according to this report, tbe aver
age assessed value of the lands in Linn
county is only 87.1(5 per acre, whereas
the average value of Holt county lands
is 11.50. It is just such inequalities as
these that make the assessment laws of
Missouri a mere farce.

Of course the sun will melt snow
off the sidewalks, but it takes con
siderable time occasionally to do it; we
believe, however, it would be more com
fortably for pedestrians it property hol
ders would clean their sidewalks, in the
time and manner provided for by our
city laws but then we have a class in
every community that can violate such
laws with impugnity, and we suppose
we will always have them, but they
should be made to obey the law just
tho same.
There is much dissatisfaction in the
new freight charges on live stock,

time when they should be handle!

movement is on foot to see what can be
done to relieve the country shippers
and if possible get the railroads to re

charging freight by the car.
From the Norcatur Nebraska Regis

ot the death of his son, Oliver D., who
was engaged with bis father, H. II. Hos

City Sun, which was afterward removed
here and changed to tbe Holt County
Republican. He died January 23, 1890,
nged 25 years, 11 months and 21 days.

Tho Westboro Wave says that
Judge Anthony is being talked of

that Atchison county should be given

within shootin' range, because Platte,

all been honored with the congressional
nomination, and why not Atchison,

Judge Phillips of the United States
District court for the western district
of Missouri has issued an order direct
ing the United States Commissioners to
to issue no more warrants for parties
charged with the illegal selling of
whiskv. T'je evidence will be first
collected and presented to the United
States graud jury. The order has for
its purpose the curtailing of criminal
costs. It establishes a precedent that
rnuv well be followed in theory in tbe
state courts. Many useless proceedings
am instituted in justices' courts seme
times without a scintilla ot evidence.
The burden of criminal costs in
Missouri must be reduced in some way.
