Court House DESTROYED.

Aurora, Neb, Jan. THE court
house at this place was burned this
morning about O'Clock. The entire
building was burned to the ground.
The records in the Office of the
county clerk, county Judge and clerk
of the District court are supposed to
be safe, but the door to the treasur-
er's vault was found open, aud it is
supposed was blown open, and all
the records were destroyed. What
money there was in the vault in the
safe is all right. The records of the
superintendents and surveyors Of
fees are supposed to be all destroy
ed. There is no clue to the origin
of the fire. Some suppose that it
was caused by the vault being blown
open in an attempt to hurglarize the
treasurer Office.

Congressman DeArmond has stir
II npa i,u,,et's nest in Washington
u, Introducing a bill to make that
city bear The entire expense of its To-
cal government. During the second
administration Of President Grant, 1t
will be remembered. the Republican
party then in power, r,authorized Boss
Shepherd to make various improve
ments in the streets Of that city, at
the expense Of the Federal treasury.
Shepherd spent millions of the Gov
ernments money in making asphalt
streets and pavements, and even
made malb pavements in front of
various hotels aud other private prop
erty, all at expense of Uncle Sam.
1t was the boldest piece of jobbery
and robbery evey perpetrated in this
country, and the many prominent
Republicans who were in the Shep
herd ring pro6ted largely by the
steal There are those still in Wash
ington who have large propsrt inter-
ests in that city who are anxious to
avoid the expense of keeping up thier
sidewalks and streets, and who wish
to make the Government bear the
expense.-The people of Washing.
ton City should keep up and pay the
expense of her local governm, nt,aud
her people should build aud pay for
their own streets and sidewalks, just
like Chicago, st. Louis, and other
eities.-The United States has
enough to do to keep up and repair
the streets and walks around aud
through her own property, and it is
counted by many miles. It will be
remembered that when the Shepherd
gang were asking for "a new lease of
life, J Proctor Knott made one of
bis humorous speeches in Congress,
and killed the bill by Offering to
vote for it, provided the Govern.
ment would spend as much money
ON the streets of Louisville, where
the people waded in mud up to their
knees The effect of Mr.. Knott's
speech was to squelch the bill effec-
tually.
Congressman DeArmond deserves
the thanks of the people of the whole
country in this matter Democrats
cannot afford to pattern after the
ways which prevailed when Boss
Shepherd had both hands in the
public treasury, and when Republi
cans were willing to tolerate all
kinds of robbery and jobbery, which
aided their liberal politicians. -Clin-

A Louisville Lawyer Seeking to Re.
cover Heavy Dana ges from the
Urd ,rtak&e's Combine.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. Ga. ].
Owen Brewster, the attorney, this
afternoon fled damage suit against
c. Miller's Sons, the Louisville Cof
fin Company, Messrs George Rattsr-
man 4 Son, Schopenherst Bros, and
VIM. Watson, demanding the sum
of &25. 900 from each Of them. The
claim for damages is based upon the
fact these defendants refused to
bury tue plaintiffs wife, who died
on the 10th Of last month. until he
had paid debt of $50 which it i.
alleged that he owed Millsrs for the
burial Of his father. The plaintiff
states that the defendants each and
all Of them are membsrs of the
Funeral Directors Association, of
the Falls City. He states that every
undertaken in Jefferson county, Ky
and Floyd and Clark counties, Ind,
are members of the association, with
the exception Of August Lefsrt, who
has store on Green street. between
Hancock and Jackson. It is claimed
that the association 10 a conspiracy
aud confederacy formed for the pur-
pose of extracting unlawful and un-
reasonable prices, and for the pur-
pose of extorting exorbitant prices
from the public, who are of necessity
obliged to call upon them to bury
the remains of their relatives.
Brewster states that this association
has Whist Is called delinquent list,
upon which is recorded the names
OF all persons who may have default
cd in the payment of funeral bills to
aEy one OF their members The
plaintiff states that his wife, Susie
Brewster, died on December 10. He
applied to each Of the defsndants to
furnish burial outfits, but they all
refused, owing to the fact that Mill
or Sons notified them that he owed
S62 for the burial of his father. He
alleges that he does not owe the
e52, but offered to give security for
it and to pay cash for his wife
funeral. He then applied to the cit,
undertaker, who was unable to fur.
nish him q coffin on account of the
trust maintained by tho Louisville
Coffin Company, and he was com
PEELED to use a coffin which had
been in use before.
