Cuiite an excitement was gene rated among the boys last evening, owing to a defective electric wire. The wrapping became worn and failed to non-conduct.andasthewire touched the iron work, the entire front of the Fitzgerald block was charged heavily with electricity. Several passers-by accidentally touched the pillars only to im mediately feel a strong shock. It was soon generally known and quite a crowd congregated, and after satisfying their curiosity, the younger portion found enjoyment in introducing new recruits, until quite a late hour.

At the late encampment at Detroit, Gen. Greusel was made the recipi ent of a diamond badge by the city council. In 1817 Mr. Greusel was a citizen of Detroit and a member of the common council from the Fourth ward. He resigned his councilship and went to the front in the Mexican war. He also served in the late war between the north and south and took an active part in a number of very important battles. We glean from the Detroit Free Press that Gen. Greusel appeared in Mniform of his rank, with his breast adorned with numerous medals, and his - entry into the council chamber was greeted with great applause. Alderman I.owrey introduced the General to the coun cil, and then Alderman Griggs jn a veay appropriate speech presented him with a handsome diamond badge. Mr. Greusel's present home is in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. He is the father of K. S. Greusel of this city, and the many friends whom he made while here last winter, on a visit to his son, will be glad to hear of the high honor the citizens of his old home gave him. From Friday Daily.

GORED BY A VICIOUS BULL I Horriable Fie of x Troininant 1 knmxh Commission Merolirn'. C. V. Vatmostrand. a well known commission merchant, of Tekauiah, was in the act of turning a bull in the pasture, when the brute at tacked him, and proceeded to pitch the unfortunate man in the air and otherwise injure him. An awful gash was torn our his heart, his ribs and one leg broken, and his face sereverely cut. The unfortu nate man is still aiive but his re covery is not expected. without pain. An Important Discovery by a German Surgeon. Dr. C. D. Sleich, of Berlin, claims to have made a valuable discovery. He says that if simple water be injected under the skin with a syringe the flesh at that point is rendered insensible to pain. His plan is to first make the skin at the point of injection antiseptic render it insensible to pains, and then inject the water and proceed with the operation. An instance is given in to-day's Hee in which the operation was successfully per formed. Shall We Have Free School Books. As our readers doubtless are aware the last session of the legis lature enacted a law, providing for the district ownership and free dis tribution of all necessary text books and school supplies. It is not our intention to discuss the merits of the bill, but as we understand that the law is disre garded, in many instances, we desire to call the attention of our school officers, through out the county, to the matter. For some time it has been conceded on every hand, that the prices charged for school books were exorbitant, and, to say the least, an injustice to the buyer. This law was passed having in view the more equitable adjustment of prices, and to that end our dis trict boards throughout the county, assisted by our county superintend ent, should see that the provisions of the law are complied with and a fair trial be given. One thing is certain, the people propose to have school books furnished at reasonable prices, if we have to re sort to state publication, and if this law will not stand the test it is right that the fact should be dem onstrated by actual trial. It appears that the matter is left largely in the hands of the school boards. It seems that our city board has depai ted somewhat from the intent of the law, as they have provided that books and supplies be furnished pupils of the city at cost. J. P. Young has been ap pointed to provide the necessary books, and thoseneeding them may purchase them at cost. In last weeks issue of the Avoca Enterprise an article appeared, bearing directly upon this matter more particular, however, pertain ing to country districts in which the writer tell of his experience as a member of a district board. We here with submit the vital portion to our readers: The writer of this article being a member of a joint district board the district lying partly in Cass and Otoe counties had thepleasure of attending a convention of school officers of Otoe county, held at Syracuse last Tuesday. The convention was well attended, nearly every district in the county being represented by from one to three members of the different boards, and was very ably presided over by their genial superintend ent, W. M. Clarey, whojis one of the most wide-awake-and-go-ahead school officers we have in the state. The crank was there as he always is at such gatherings, and had to make a display ot his wisdom and oratorical powers, before the con vention could get down to business The convention almost unanimous ly voted to comply with the require ments of the law as quickly and fully as possible, also to adopt a uniform series of text books. They also effected a permanent organiza tion of school officers by the elec tion of a president, vice president, a secretary, treasurer and executive committee, consisting of live school district officers, three teachers and the county superintendent. It was made the duty of theexecutive com mittee to recommend a uniform scries of textbooks to be used in the county, and to make their re port at the next meeting of the or ganization, which is to be held at Syracuse, on the second Friday ia September next, at 10 c'clock a. in. (Juery: Would it not be a good plan for Stipcrintemient Noble to call a convention of the school district n lliccr of Cass county? New BumNew Stock.

County Attorney Travis Shies His Castor inthe Ring For the Judicial Plum However He Lost What Little Enthu siasm He Had Whorl he Came Here -Inctepemleiita Cast ing About. From Saturday')! Itatiy The seething political caldron is quite busy just now, and huge clouds of vapor are filling the air with all kinds of gossip. The oilier day County Attorney Travis of Cass county was here, ostensibly on a visit to County Attorney Morgan, but in reality to see if there would be any chance for him to secure the democratic nomination for judge of this judicial district. Two years ago Travis was a howling re publican but renounced .his party faith to get an office. He did noU get much comfort here, tor every one who knowns Judge Chapman favors his return to his present seat, so Mr. Travis went home with his office seeking enthusiasm quiet ly but persistently oozing away. Next we will hear of him yelling in the alliance ranks in hopes of get ting a state office. The independents are now knoling their brows over the question of putting in nomination a candidate for the judgeship. Last Tuesday a portion of the county central com inittee met at Syracuse to discuss the matter and it ended in Messrs. Tipton of Nebraska City, Cambell of Syracuse and Baldwie of Palmyra bving selected as a committee to confer w!,h the Cass county inde pendents on the subject. As yet nothing has been done, but a call for a judicial covention will be forth coming in a short time. -Nebraska City Press. CASS COUNTY AT LINCOLN. Our Enterprising Florist and Fruit Grower to Compete Among the enterprises of wh it'll Cass county feels justly proud is the fruit and plant growing estab lishment conducted by W. J. Ilesser at his home six niik'H south-west of this city. Mr. Ilesser has very appropriately denominated the place, and it is universally spoken of as "Hesser's Picnic Gardens," presumably named thus because of its peculior adapt iveness to picnic parties, and of the frequent outings that are held there. Mr. Ilesser not only supplies the home trade with an abundance of all kinds of fruit and plants that can be possibly grown here, but his reputation as a florist has become known throughout Mie state, and when the wealthy citizens of many of our large cities desire to secure mi elaborate collection, their wants are always supplied at the Picnic Gardens. The public spirited proprietor does not underestimate the value of advertising, and never fails to avail himself of every opportunity to show his plants, and thus place their merits prominently before the public. As has been his custom for several years, Mr. Ilesser will have an exhibition at the state fair a display that can not fail to add greatly to his reputation as a florist, and be a great credit to the county. This Hekald reporter had the privi lege of gazing upon the plants after they had been placed in the car, and upon beingconfronted with the task of picturing the scene on paper, we are at a loss to find words adequate to do it justice; suffice to say there were two cars well filled with plants of all sizes, varieties and natives of nearly every country on the globe. Some of those which seemed the most interesting were the banana, of which he has several varieties; pine apple; orange, which, by the way, has fruit sufficiently developed to compare with a large walnut. He has palm trees from China, Australia, West Indies and Japan; from the last named lie has on hand 000 plants, and he has a bill of 300 more that will arrive in a few days. Doubtless Mr. Ilesser's display will compare favorably with, if not excel, that of any com petitor. According to declarations of cer tain insurance companies, it is probable that an objection will be made on the part of the companies to insuring live stock running in pastures fenced by barb wire, asthc losses in a great measure are due, as reported by the farmer?, to lightning in connection with the wire fences. In the majority of cases stock is killed while standing near the wire, owing to the good qualities of the wire as a conductor of electricity. Because of the w ire fences the risk of insurance compa nies is greater. Brown V Barrett have just re ceived a line line of iiiportfd tooth and nail brushes, cloth nnd hair brushes.
