Our economic county commissioner
are liable to have mother suit on their
hands that will coit the county to
$0 in costs. The election boards all

tltoc in the city of Weeping Water,
were allowed nav for two and one-fourth

but in Weeping Water they were allowed

Oh. no, not much. W. W. lii jui.lii an.
The comnu.-.sioiiers hav; allowed lull
pny lor the time that each election board
actually put in counting the vot'.s. The
idea that wards whose total VJte cast
was only seventy-three should be paid
the same as other wards and precincts
which ranged from :;00 to 400, is not
only unfair but is manifestly dishonest.
If the Republican will confine its criti
cisms to matters of this sort, the county
commissioners will be appreciate! for
their integrity and fair dealing, which
might have went unnoticed had not our
attentions been called to the fact as
above.
Mr. and Mrs. O, M, Carter gave a re
ception on Monday evening, with danc-
l mg alter 10 o clock. 1 hree large rooms
were oanvased for dancing, w hile the hail
and library were left for com ersation and
the break f.i.-t ioon for refreshments-
The rooms were all exquisitely decern
ted with flowers.the manteis being its
tooLe 1 with smilax, held in pace by
larfae bundles of roses and chrysanthe
mums. But the library was the gem
for under ropts of smilax, upon which
were hung at intervals Chinese lanterns.
The MiS3es Emily Wakely, Hartmnn,
Touzalin and Reynolds of Council Bluffs
dispensed lemonade. The alcove in the
hall was similarly dec -rated with smilax
and lanterns, and a screen of palms com
pletely hid the musicians. Yellow chrys
anthemum and green ferns were used ex
clusively in tha refreshment room.
Mrs. S. I Morse, Mrs. Colpetzer and
Mrs. Dundy assisted here.
Mrs. Carter wore a train gowu of black
velvet with an embroidered front of
white crepe.

Circular Letter No. 2.
Headquarters Grand Army )
of the Republic.
Rutland, Vt., Oct., 1, 1890.
Comrades: -Since being elected com
mander in-chief I have visited ten de
partments, six of which are west of the
Missouri riyer, and have been more than
gratified to observe the hearty spirit of
comradeship everywhere prevailing, and
the growing pride in and devotion to
our noble order. The thought seemed
to be in every mind and the words on
every lip that the Grand Army of the
Republic should be made to round up
one half million comrades this year.
The inspiration of this thought was not
mere pride in numbers, but the advantage
of membership to indiyidual character,
and the advantage of numbers in increas
ing the potency of the order in its lofty
work of fraternity, charity and loyalty.
It is on the ground of individual and
public benefit that it becomes our duty
to increase our membership. There are
yet several hundred thousand worthy
yeteran9 who served bravely with us on
land or sea, not yet with us in this orga
nization. If we do not bring in fifty
thousand or more of them this year the
fault w.il be our own. This miians an
addition of about ten to every hundred.
Who doubts but this ctn be easily done?
What comrado will fail to do his part?
What Post will hold back? Let all de
partment commanders at once take the
leadership and direction in this work in
their respective departments. I have
seen enough to know that they will find
cordial and enthusiastic response, both
fro:n individuals aud Posts. This is the
best season of the year for the recruiting
service to be made effective and success
ful. It should not pass without our
achieying results as grand as our possibil
ities are great. '
Yours in F C. and L..
W. G. Veazy, Com.-in-C'hief.

Adjutant General.
The Indians.
The State Journal correspondent has
been as conservative as any of them on
the scene of hostilities. Last night he
sent the following telegrnm which is
more warlike than any yet received.
Pixb Ridge Agency, S. D., (via
Rushville, Neb.,) Dec 1. Special.
John Grime, the chief government
herder, has just reported that the Indians
had control of the government herd for
two days, killing many. He and his
herders abandoned all, fleeing, for
their lives. The Indians are all over the
country between the White and Chey
enne rirers and settlers are fleeing te the
Black Hills, where the Indian are scour
ing the whole country te the base of the
hills. This is the mest alarming news
received slnee tbe treable begam.
The Western Sufferers
The public meeting called by the uifsyor
at the council chambers latt evening was
wot very largely attended, but those
present were represi ntutive men.
The meeting was called to order about
8 o'clock, and His Honor, Miyor Richey,
was called to the chair. O. M. PtUrson
wi:m madi' f-ecretnry of the meeting.
The mayor stated the object of the
mieling, stating t L tit appeals for aid
were rec-iitly made through the gov- I
enior and the press from destitute people
from H'-Vi'iiteeii counties in westi in Ne
braska, in which it is made apparent
that h caus-; of the diotith and hot winds
winch prevailed in that section, many
thou-andsof people were thrown upon
the chanty of the public by
the absolute failure of crops and t hat
ui.less prompt and liberal action was
taken bv the more iavored localities.
great Buffering starvation and death by
freezing must ensue. Tin: people 'if this
city and county are appealed to, to give
of their abundance.
A general discussion of methods was
indulged in by the meeting, and it was
deemed best to appoint committees in
every ward and in every precinct, aud
these committees were urged to make a
thorough canvass of their territory and
among business men, to secure all
the aid possible in clothing, bedding,
provisions, coal, corn or cash, as
promptly as possible.
On motion F. S. White was request
ed to set apart a portion of his commii
sion store house, on Pearl near Third
street, and to become store keeper fur all
contributions in kind, which he consent
ed to do.
On m. t on A. B. Todd was appointed
general distributing agent, with instruc
tions to see that the contributions were
sent to tbe people most in need, and that
they reached their proper dentinatiou.
On motion committees were appointed
from the several wards and the precinct,
with instructions to use all possible dili
gence to make a canvass of the several
wards for contributions. The following I
gentlemen were requested to act in that
capacity:
First ward George E. Dovey, Fred
Gorder, Walter J. White.
Second ward George Weidman, Dr.
A. Shipman, A. H. Weckbach.
Third ward M. B. Murphy. R. W.
Hyers. P. P. Gass.
Fourth ward F. D. Lehnhoff, E. S.
Greuael, Wash Smith.
Fifth ward John D. Tutt, W. II.
Mackey, A. Bach.
Plattsmouth precinct E. R. Todd,
Henry Eikenbary.
Of course most of these names were
suggested and put on without the know
ledge of the parties, but their known
liberality and fitness for tbe work was
taken as a guarantee that they would
act, and with promptness and dilligence.
On motion the committeemen were re
quested to meet at 7:30 o'clock on Thurs
day evening at the council chamber, for
conference and report.
The meeting then adjourned.
The Pythian Ball.
The members of the Older of Knights
of Pytheas which is one of the best or
ders in the city have arranged to give
a grand ball on New Year's eve, at Fitz
gerald's hall. The Bohemian band will
furnish the music, and the supper will
bo as good as tne city affords. We are
assured no efforts will be spared to make
it the social event of the season.
Uucle Henry Shafer.may die some time,
but not from old.age-he is youngar tody
than most men at 30. 1 He has recently
completeted several new houses for rent,
and has completely changed the sombre
appearance of.Shafer town by having all
the houses painted up in old gold and
trimmed with a sort of a cross between a
chocolate and mulberry color.lt brightens
up that part of the city yery materially.
If we had more men like him that
would improve' their realestate holdings
instead of trying to squeeze somebody the
town would be better off.

Full board present except Mr. Davis.
Miss Paul resigned on account of sicknets
and Mr. Burcbard of Chicago waselected
to fill her place. Mies Stella Scott re
signed her position as teacher in the
Eeast Fourth ward, but same was not
accepted.
The application of one of the teachers
for an increase ef salary was sat down
upon very hard. The school board
would certainly have shown better busi
ness sense if they had ignored all claims
for raise ef salary after teachers had been
hired for a year for a specified sum, and
not increased anyones pay until the be
ginning anew year.The balance of the
evening wa taken up with routine mat
ters, the allowance of bills etc.
The Weeping Water boys are very en
thusiastic about owning the earth; one of
them said if he had tbe money he would
bet ten dollars trains would not run od
the M. P. through Plattsmouth in the
next two years. And the fellow actually
seemed to believe what he was talking
about.
The Louisville fellows will barely con
descend to speak to a Plattsmouth man
these times. "Weeping Water has filled
the Louisvilliins with so much of their
no longer needed wind, that they really
feel as though they had the county seat.
Well we don't blame them for feeling
good, in fact if Plattsmouth could not
hold the court house there is no town inthe
county Plattsmouth people would vote
for so unanimously as Louisville.
