CASS COUNTY rRESS COM
MENTS. The Louisville Advertiser hits the nail
on the head in an article strongly fayor
ing the Bonds and from what we quote
as follows:
'The question of most importance to
the people of Cass county u the neccesi-
tr of constructing a safe and suitable
building in which to keep the county re
cords. At present they are scattered
about Plattsmouth and in case of fire
would in'all probillty be totally destroy
ed. and the Advertiser takes this occa
sion to sav that the tax necessary to
build a court house - is insignificant be
side the loss the people would sustain in
case of the destruction of the records,
The Adoertiser, therefore, heartily indor
es the movement, having for its object
the construction of a sutiable court
house, and sincerely beleiyes that the
interests of the people will be served by
Toting for the bonds.
NO NONSENSE ABOUT BE II R
INQ SEA.
The recent order sent from "Washing
ton to seize every British ship found
catching seals in Behring Sea brings out
in strong releif the difference between
the policy adopted by the present Ad
ministration and that pursued by Cleve
land and Batabd. There is no dilly
dallying, but prompt actions that is in
tended to make good the claims of the
United States in these waters. It will be
remembered ' that Bayard proposed a
sort of international conferance to devise
ways and means of protecting Behring
Sea from the poachers who were destroy
ing seal life in a reckless manner. Eng
land showed herself eager to act oa the
suggestion made by Bayard, as she re
cognized that the holding of such a
conferance would pave the way far de
puting the exclusive jurisdiction of this
country in Behring Sea.
The present Administration, beleiying
that this county is perfecaly capable of
protecting its own interests, has deter
mined that the jurisdiction of the United
States shall be recognized and respected
in Behring Sea from the shores of Alaska
to the boundary line that divides Ameri
can from Russian territory. Notice is
served upon England that these waters
are as much within the jurisdiction of
the United States as are the waters of
the Mississippi.
This notice has not been served a mo
ment too soon. England for years ha
Ieen anxious to get possession of the
valuable sea fisheries, but it was not until
the advent of a pro-British Administra
tion that she made a decisive effort to
push her way into Behring Sea. She will
not be slow to understand the meaning
of the reyersal of the policy adopted by
the Cleveland Administration. John
Bull is quick enough to take a hint when
be is not in a position to bully. Irish

COLLIiCTED ON TIIK COUKTY COURT HOUSES
HOND QUB9TION BY TUB BOARD OK TUADE
AND ADDDK88ED TO T1IE VOTEH8
Plattsmotth, Neb., May 15, 1SS9.
The county commissioners of Cass county
having called an election to vote for or
against issuing $80,000 twenty-year court
house bonds, we desire to lay the actus
facts before every property owner and
voter in the county, relying upon thei
intelligent consideration of the same in
casting their vote at the coming election
June 8tb, 18S9.
The total bonded indebtedness of the
county is $ 100,000, Ihese are the rai
road bonds, and the interest has been paid
as it accrued. The principal is due $20
000 in June of each of the years of 1890
91-92-03-94. Cash in the sinking fund
to nav these bonds is now $50,000, and
sufficient cash in the other funds to pa
all current expenses. So the real indebt
edness of the county is only $50,000 at
the present time
Total valualion county, 18S8, $4,743,77
Valuation of Plattsmouth
City and Precinct $1,287,191
Eighty thousand dollars at 5
per cent will cost annually, .... $4,000.
Nine-tenths of one mill on the
total valnation will raise $4,267
More than sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds.
The average valuation on eighty acres
of land in the county as shown by th
records is about $450, so that the owner
of eighty acres would have to pay
court house tax of about 40 cents, or less,
each year, lnesa ti cures are based on
the 1888 assessment. The valuation wil
be greater in 18S9, by possibly $300,000,
and will increase largely each succeeding
year.
We believe that a new court house
should be built, not only for the sake of
building the same in our city but for th
protection of the records of the county
clerk, county treasurer, county register,
county judge and the clerk of the dis
trict court, in all of which records almost
every farmer and laud owner in the
county is vitally interested.

A Traveling Man Creates Great Ex

Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 1888.
liheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich:
Gents: Your Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Ilibr
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and a3 he did
so it awakened in me an interest neyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when 1 tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu-
matism, the pain and soreness ot tue
oints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about only with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this oy stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
..... . j i
in, which threatened to ena my any. a
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced me to try it. I have taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
am a well man.
It will be a pleasure for me to answer
any communications, for I believe it to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

THE FOOLED ELM.
The bold youo; Autumn came riding alone
One day where an elm live grew;
"You are fair," he sold, as lio bends her head,
"Too fair for your robe's dull hue.
Ton are far too young for a garb so old,
- Tour beauty nuecU color and sheen ;
Oh, I would clothe you in scarlet and cold.
Befitting thy grace of a queen.
Tor one little kiss on your lips, sweet Elm,
For Just one kiss no mora,
I wul give you. I swear, a robe more fair
Than ever a princess wore.
One little kiss on those lips, my pet.
And lol you shall stand, I say.
Queen of the forest, and better yet,
Queen of my heart alway."
She tonsed her bead, but be took the kiss
(Tin the way of lovers bold).
And a gorgeous dress for that sweet caress
fie gave ere the morn was old.
For a week and a day she ruled a queen
In beauty and splendid attire;
For a week and a day she was loved, I ween.
With the love that is born of desire.
Then bold eyed Autumn went on bis way
In quest of a tree more fair.
And mob winds tattered her garment and scattered
Her finery here and there.
Poor and faded and ragged and cold.
She rocked and moaned in distress.
And longed for the dull green gown she had sold
For a lover s fickle caress.
And the days went by, and the winter come.
And his tyrannous tempests beat
On the shivering tree whose robes of shame
He had trampled under his feet.
I saw her reach to the mocking skies
Her poor arms bare and thin.
Ah, well-a-day, it is ever the way
With a woman who trades with siu.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
BRIMSTONE.
The scene is the old wagon trail be
tween Kansas City and Denver, near the
dividing line between Kansas and Col
orado; the time, the summer of 1866,
when the plains Indians east of the
Rocky mountains were in general out
break against the whites. A large wag
on train, under charge of that veteran
and noted freighter Pete Ouray, was on
its way westward to Salt Lake City.
At that time the plains stretching be
tween eastern Kansas and the Rocky
mountains were a barren waste, un
broken by abodes of civilized men save
an occasional military or trading post,
and the stations of the Ben Ilolliday
overland stage line. Civilized men
might cross and even hunt on its dreary
expanse, but it was regarded as a Gt
home only for Indians, buffaloes, ante
lope and coyotes.
The train had proceeded so far on its
journey without misadventure. The
grass was good, and there had Deen no
Indian attack. Signs of the .hostiles,
however, were not wanting, and some
were ominous enougli. But two or
three days before, the freighters had
come up with a wagon train which had
left Kansas City a little ahead of them.
It was a dismal sight. The mules
were gone, and the wagons a plundered
wreck. The teamKters lay about dead,
all scalped and mutilated with every
freak of savage barbarity.
All this tended to produce reflections
the reverse of cheerful in the minds of
the finders. After burying in one grave
the mangled bodies, the teamsters re
turned to their wagons, and the train
moved on.
But scenes even as appalling as thi3 do
not long depress men accustomed to
ever present dangers. The expedition
was strong in men and equipment, and,
to guard against surprise by Indians, a
vigilant watch was kept night and day.
It happened that on tlus June day,
after the noonday halt, three men whose
duties did not call them to the wagon
seats lingered after the tram moved on,
to let their horses graze on the luxuriant
new grass.
I have said horses. To be exact, there
were two horses and a mule. The mule,
an important figure in my story, was the
special saddle animal of Frank Sanger, a
daring young rider, who was making his
third trip across the plains. "Brim
stone," the animal's name, indicated both
the quality of its temper and its peculiar
yellow color.
Brimstone had jomed the expedition
in this wise: A lank, discouraged looking
Missourian brought him to the wagon
tram as it was about leavmg Kansas
City. The man wanted badly to sell, and
offered the beast at a price far below his
seeming value. He showed proper vouch
ers of his ownership, and Pete Ouray
bought the animal for a song.
When Pete tried to use the mule, he
thought that he had paid far too much.
He first harnessed him in a team, but no
sooner did the traces begin to draw than
tho beast fell to kicking and plunging,
and finally turned short round and
faced tho wagon. He so mixed up the
entire eight mule team that parts of the
harness had to be cut to get them clear.
He was excused from further service as
a draught animal, and remanded for the
time being to a halter.
He kicked, struck and bit at whom or
whatever was about him. There seemed
to be no bounds to the reach of his hind
leg3 and his accuracy in locating his
hoofs. It was commonly believed that
ie could kick round a corner. That he
was worse than useless Joe uutb3 was
free to assert, as he came limping from
the corral, holding hi3 knee with both
hands and hunting for a revolver; he
was vowing, in the first transports of
pain ana rage, to kiii tne niaievoienf
brute, which had assumed a look of ex
treme innocence to lure him near enough
for a telling kick; but Brimstone lived
and kicked on serenely. He had a des
tiny to fulfill that no blusterings of in
furiated teamsters could avert.
Bigspur Bill, who claimed to be a
ronco breaker, offered to ride him. 'TU
make a saddle mule of him, or git broka
p a-tryin',' he said, with an air of de
termination, as lie posed heroically in
Mexican pantaloons, set off by spurs like
rising suns.
Ali hands turned to and helped, and
Brimstone, with much ado, was saddled
and bridled. Four men held him. Bill
got in the saddle.
"Jsow turn mm loose, boys, he 6aid.
The nien at the mule's head let go.
primstone's head went down f.Q his fore
logs, his back rounded and he went into
the air". When ho came back to earth
Bill, ""who had gone some feet higher.
reiuained astride the high corral fence
