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. The defect has
been repaired and all is working
smoothly again.

Cen. Greusel Honoree.
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.

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

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.

FEW POLITICAL POINTS!
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

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.
