The Neil trial will be closed in Omaha today and the general opinion is about eqaally divided as to the guilt of the defendant, whose defense has been won derfully well managed by Messrs. Es telle and Gurley. The flyer and No. 5 came into Pacific Junction, this morninig, in four sections. The great excusion from the east was the cause of the loaded trains, this being the first of the harvest excursions which Hie run every summer.

Many fruit trees were broken down or otherwise damaged. The case of the State vs. George Grebe, charged with selling liquor without license; at the preliminary hearing yester day, before justice Archer, was brought to a sudden close by the complaining witness withdrawing the complaint. Mr. Grebe was then discharged. Charley Ellis was on a tear again yes terday evening; he got into a fight with a young german and after some difficulty was arrested and landed in the cooler, lie was before Judge Archer this morn ing and received a sentence of thirty days the lust ten on bread and water. L. II. Young, of Eight Mile Groye, one ot Cass county's best farmers, made the Herald a pleasant call this morning and purchased one of our Webster's un abridged dictionaries to take home with him; he paid for the Herald a year in advance which is a guarentce that he will be happy for twelve months more. City engineer Hilton was raising a commotion in the first ward today as he took levels on Fourth street to find how much dirt was required to bring it to grade The commotion was caused by 'the cavalry commands he was giving at the top of his voice to make his assist-, ant, Frank Morrison, hear what was wanted. Theodore Boediker, who was declared insane yesterday, will be removed to the hospital at Lincoln, as soon as a permit can be received. Mr. Bodiker is one of Cass county's old citizens,' and his many friends will be sorry indeed, to learn of his sad condition; we trust that with careful treatment at the hospital he may be cured. It comes with nice grace for a pro fessional bilk. like the editor of the Journal to question the in tegrity of purpose aud honesty of action of other people. The farmers who se lected Mr. Polk to preside at their con vention, have known him for nearly 20 years, which ia a sufficient answer to the contemptible flings of a sickly content porary. The ice cream sociable given at the Tabernacle Monday evening by the young ladies was a very enjoyable and profitable affair. Ice cretni and cake were served at 10 cents a dish and about $15 thus secured. The boys mission band had a stand in connection, where they sold peanut, popcorn, candy etc., clearing a handsome little sum. The usual feeling of sociability prevailed . and ft good time was had by everyone. The School Board. A full meeting of the school board was held last evening at the office of District Clerk Showalter for the purpose of electing a superintendent of the city schools. Mr. Hancock, of 111., Mr. Wild,. of Stuart, la., Hornberger, of Fre mont, Skinner, of Crete, and several others were applicants; out of this num ber the board very wisely elected Mr. Skinner, an old and wellknown educator thut will doubtless hold the schools up to their present high standard. Mr. Skinner will follow one of the best edu cators in the state in the person of Prof. Drummond and will have a more difficult task than if he were succeeding an in competent man. The Herald bespeaks for Mr. Skinner a cordial reception at the hands of our people. The board will convene again tomorrow eyening to elect twelve teachers."

Last eyening was held at Lincoln a convention, or conference, that will be, and is of vast importance to the republi can party from a political standpoint, and to every producer and shipper in the state. The incessant agitation for lower freight rates that has been growing in volume each year has reached that point where the demands of the farmer must not only be heard, but relief must be granted. The agitation every day is magnified in the east by the press until Nebreskans are looked upon as species of anarchists ready to tear up the railroads and destroy foreign investments by abso lute force; capital is driven out of the country and great harm is done to eyery branch of business. The professional agitator and fault finder is an enemy to every public interest. While no reason able man could ask for an Iova rate, yet a fair reduction could be made that would silence the clamor, and would bring prosperity to the people as well as the railways. Plattsmouth Farmers. The delegation to Lincoln yesterday morning was largely composed of repre sentative farmers. Farmer Mike Murphy one of the best informed grangers in the county, entertained the crowd with statements of the best manner to dispose of injurious insects; for turnip curculio Mike says he has used epsom salts with wonderful success, for chinch bugs on the peach he fayors the old german rem edy of shaking down the bugs and sprinkling sawdust over them and then mashing the bugs with his heels. Mike refused to talk politics, though it was well understood that he had sinister de signs on some important office. Dave Campbell came rushing breath less to the depot with a beautiful nose gay of red clover blossoms and dande lions; he had lingered too long in his potato field and came near missing the train. Farmer Palmer, with the odor of the stable still lingering about him, was looking a little seedy. He claimed he didn't have time to change, his field clothes and make the train, though the boys seemed to think he was wearing his farmer garb for the effect it might have on the Hon. Edward Rosewater, of the Omaha Bue. Cap absolutely refused to say anything about politics. Farmer Salisbury was in good form, his well known success as a root farmer was admitted by all parties to be in ac cordance with the best and latest meth ods. Farmer John Backer carefully dis guised in a plug hit was full of remin iscenses. His successful career in general farming, with a little p litics on the side made him an interesting talker; John said he had just shelled a fine crop of egg for the Chicago market, and was negotiating for a new patent post hole that promised to revolutionize the fence business. He was very enthusiastic about a new dwarf pumpkin which, re quired no ladder in gathering and har vesting, that had been introduced by his nncle from illinois; he claimed there was millions in it for the tax ridden farmers, as the trees came into bearing at an early aso ..id were very prolific. A. good report may be expected from the Plattsmouth delegation.

Women who sit with their legs crossed to sew or to read, or to hold the baby, are not aware they are inviting serious physical ailments; but it is true neverthe less, When a man crosses his legs h places the ankle of one limb across the the knee of the other, and rests it lightly there. A woman, more modest and re stricted in he r movements, rests the entire weight of one limb on the upper part of the other, and this pressure upon the sen sitive nerves and cords, if indulged in for continued lengths of time, as is often done by ladies who sew or embroider, will produce disease. Sciatica, neuralgia and other serious troubles frequently re sult from this simple cause. The muscles in the upper portion of a woman's legs are extremely sensative, and much of hr whole physical structure can become de ranged if. they are overtaxed in the man ner referred to.

Charles Dudly Warner, in his essay be ginning the "Editor's Study" of Har per's Magazine for June, will ask some pertinent questions on the great ' power of commonplace. A portrait of Alphonse Daudet, drawn by J. W. Alexander, will form the fron tispiece of the Jane number of Harpers's Magazine, which is to contain the first installment of the distinguished author's "largely, hugely laughable" new novel, "Port Tarascon." The Rev. Herbert D. Ward making a "Plea for short Novels" in the Boston Traveler said recently, "A taste educated by such a master as Guy de Maupassent will teach us what we want." Many critics have already called attention to the value of de Maupassant's tales in the Old Number considered as lessons in the art of short story writing. Richard Mansfield will centribute to the number of Harper's Weekly to be published May 21st the story of the preparation for his production of Rich ard IIL The article will be accompan ied with an illustration of the actor as seen in the last act of the play during the combat with Richmond. The illus tration is the vigorous work of Frederic Remington. Julian Ralph did not have an Amer ican city in mind when he wrote the ar ticle on the "Best Governed City in the World" for the June number of Harper's Magazine. The article relates to Bir mingham, England: and Mr. Ralph's ex planations of its municipal polity seem to justify the title. The illustrations, including a portrait of Joseph Chamber lain, arc drawn by J. W. Alexander and Charles Graham. Guesswork has always had a great deal to do with the art of hitting an enemy at sea, simply because there haa been no trustworthy means of determin ing the distance of the hostile ship. This missing factor in the most im portant problem of naval warefare has now, however, been supplied by an American. Lieut. Bradley A. Fiske of ourna vy has discovered an electric range-finding apparatus which deter mines the enemy's distance accurately, automatically, and instantaneously. Ptrk Benjamin, iA'. explains the invention, its significance and ita pc&vi-bilitit-s in an article entitled "The Ene my's Distance: Range-finding at Sea by Electricity," which he will contribute to Harper's Magazine for June. The flag ship Chicago, of the Squadron of Evo lution, now in Europe, is equipped with this remarkable apparatus At the business men's meeting last night the Herald heard so little to be proud of that we refrain from any ex tended notice. The cha:rman, J. G. Richey, and members of the right of way committee were rearty and willing; to do more than their part, but not a business man was willing to do what was necessary to be done outside of th$ committee.
