School Treasurers.
Section 4 of the new law is as fol-

Section 4 of the new law is as fol-
lows:
"The treasurer of each district
shall, within ten days after his elec-
ton, execute to the district and file
with the director bond of not less
than five hundred dollars in any
instance, nor less than double the
amount Of money, as near as can be
ascertained, to come into his hands
as treasurer at any one time, with
sufficient sureties, to be approved by
by the director and moderator, con-
ditioned for the faithful discharge
of the duties of bis office such bond
shall be filed i'm the office of the
county clerk of the county wherein
the school district is situated; and
if he shall fail to execute such bond,
his Office shall be vacant, and the
board shall thereupon appoint q
treasurer, who shall be subject to
the same powers as if elected to that
office"
By the above it will be seen that the
treasurer files his bond with the di-
rector, whose duty, Git is presumed)
it is to file the same with the county
clerk. The object of this is that any
parties in interest may have the
bonds convenient of reference.

BellwOOd.

April 9th, 1881.
We no longer belong to the "float-
ing population" nor do we now
stand in need of "float represen ta-
tive" But the demolition of the
telegraph poles between here and
Columbus was considered the "most
unkindest cut of ALL" Bellwood is
stranded just above high water
mark, the snow is a thing of the
"dead past" roads are in good con.
dition excepting a few places, and
farmers round about are beginning
spring work and all entertain the
highest hopes of prodigious crop.
So much farm machinery to be re-
paired, the "village blacksmith" is
busy "frOm early morn till dewy
eve."
Bellwood has received great in
flux of trade since the reign of high
waters, the merchants being kept at
their places of business all day, not
having time to 60 home for dinner.
Hutchinson Il Taylor, who also
have the post-office, declare there is
no rest for the wicked. Here every
one is shown the most prompt and
polite attention, while everything
relating to the postal department is
conducted with the strictest integ-
rity.
The house of the Derby Bros.
might be represented 0y the tides;
coming in with the morning and
early receding at night-fall. They
are taking time by the forelock and
driving down a pump in front of
their store. No more summing of
themselves in the rays of the depart
ing sun, nor time for the artistic
arrangement of their "bar'ls" upon
the porch.
Wild geese are scarce-and high;
(let those who intend sowing wheat
rejoice), though prairie chickens are
occasionally heard, and you are re-
minded of the "bittern % BOOM"
and again "what larks," and how
they sing. MARY B. FINCH.

The bad weather has prevented
work upon bridges that went down
in the recent floods on the Loup and
Platte, and it will take considerable
time before they can be replaced,
but, while the weather is unfavora-
BILE to bridge building with the
actual material aud muscle work, ii
is at the same time favorable to the
theoretical part of the same; plans
of action can be talked over schemes
can be thought of; provisions can be
made to take full advantage of the
first good weather that sets in. These
remarks are applicable generally
throughout Nebraska, particularly
Oh the Platte and Loup rivers wher-
ever they were bridged, but more
particularly at Columbus, which is
interested just now in the recon-
struction or repair of two railroad
bridges and two wagon bridges
across these streams.
Whatever this city or precinct
concludes to do in regard to securing
the initial point of the Omaha, Mo
brara & Black Hills road ought to
be done during this temporary break
in the elements that forbids actual
work by the company to put that
road in running order. The breaks
and troubles and extra work caused
elsewhere will prolong this suspense
somewhat, but the enormous losses
of the company will not tend to
lessen their demand, and it becomes
us to do what we can nOW. The
JOURNAL does not wish to be con-
sidered too urgent in this matter,
but we regard the future welfare OF
Columbus as depending greatly upon
this enterprise, and we wish to see 1t
secured at once, and Beyond a doubt.
We know that the management of
the U. p. road desire. this result, as
all their acts since the matter was
brOached to them show, but the sit
uation is such Eve believe) that, as
managers of the affairs of the Com
pany, they can not offer the road on
easier terms than have been pro-
posed.
Would it not be well enough for
our citizens to come together again,
and see if the utmost has been done
on the part of this precinct, by way
of preliminary guarantee, in secur-
ing the support of the voters for the
measure of aid asked of us?

DURING the high water at Omaha
on the 7th a sad accident occurred
in the drowning of Nicholas Neenan
and Michael Cunningham near the
rip-rap. They started out in skiff
to 60 to the rip-rap, which they
reached in safety, just above the
break of about fifty feet across the
rip-rap, and then tried to cross to
the other side, where the current
was very strong and swift, which
swept them into the main stream
and among the crushing and grind
ing ice, where they went down and
disappeared perhaps forever, as by
the rush of the mighty waters it is
difficult to guess where their bodies
may rest in the future.
