Governor Thayer, it is said, however,

assume the responsibility, though he
is very anxious that this suffering
should be relieved. He will doubtless
recommend an appropriation to that
effect to the coming session.

viously left at 11 o'clock last night to

winter the situation would be serious,

settlers at their mercy, xneinaians
dread winter warfare. If it were
spring there would be a general upris-
in. They are discontentea ana ciaim
that the government has not kept its
agreements with them in rations or by
paying for their land. Ihese Indians
know that the harder they fight the
more presents they will get from the
government when peace is proclaimed.
If war comes and General Miles is in
command and not handicapped he will
quicklv crush it."

Fell on a Needle.
Monday's Dally.
The seven-year-old son of W. T.
Melvin, who lives three miles south of
town, met with a painful accident this
morning early. Wrhilerunningfrom one
room to another, boy-like, he stumbled
on a rug and fell on bis knees. He got
up crying and said he had run a burr
in his knee. His father said he guessed
not and induced him to go back to bed
again. He cried for some time with
pain, and finally his mother made an
examination of his knee and found the
upper portion of a sewing needle im
bedded in his kneecap, and a piece of
thread was still attached to it. By dint
of hard pulling a part of the needle
was pulled out. She then discovered
that the obstacle had broken in two,
and a part of it still remained im
bedded in the flesh. The child was
brought to town and a surgeon made a
vain effort to take the remaining part
of the needle out.and finally gave it up.
Parents cannot be too careful about
allowing needles to lie about on the
floor.

AX UNMITIGATED LIKKL.
The Herald Slanderer Gets in Ills Work
on .1. I. Farthing.
The Plattsmouth Herald had a new
man doing its local work yesterday
and he tried to distinguish himself at
once by the startling character of his
assertions. He started out to prove
that great frauds had been perpetrated
in the late elections, and for proof
related a cock-and-bull story to the
effect that Samuel McConkey. an old
unlettered man living on the JJoud
road, had been purposely cheated out
of his wish to vote a republican ticket
by the trickery of J. L. Farthing, a
fifth ward democrat.
Now this kind of politics comes
under the head of "important if true,"
and if not true it might become very
interesting, to say the least, to the
scribbler if Mr. Farthing happened to
be a man of a resentful disposition.
Instead, however, of hunting up the
said scribbler and giving him a taste
of his muscular energy which he
deserved, Mr. Farthing sought out a
Journal reporter this morning and
related the facts in the case to him.
He said in substance that the article
in question, so far as it related to him,
was a tissue of falsehoods, and origi
nated in malice. It does him a great
injustice and is libellous in the
extreme. He says he was working at
the polls for the democratic ticket, as
be had a right to do. When he saw
Mr. McConkey come there he had a
republican ticket with the name of J.
C. Williams written on it for assessor.
With his consent he took the ticket
and erased the names of Richards for
governor and Connell for congress and
wrutethe names of Boyd and Uryan
on instead, and in that form Mr.
McConkey voted it. He can prove this
to be true". He says that Jack Graves
is the man who wrote the article, and
Mr. Knotts told him this morning that
he did not know the article had been
in the Herald until his attention was
called to it by Mr. Farthing. He said
the reason why Graves was mad at
him was because he caught him, while
acting as election clerk trying to mis
count the vote for congressman. He
had Connell credited with two more
votes than belonged to him, and at his
(Farthing's) instance the tickets were
recounted as applied to that office and
proved that h1 was right and Graves
was wrong. For this Graves said he
ought to be thrown fnt of the Iionse.
When asked why he did not enter
suit for libel Mr. Farthing said "what
is the use of suing a beggar to catchja
lonse."
Mr. Farthing is clearly entitled to
an apology from the Herald.

Mr. Coon Wants Ten Thousand This Time.
Norman Coon is again in the district
court after the Missouri Pacific li. li.
Co, On tbe 29th of December, 1888,
while crossing the M. P. track near
Weeping Water his buggy was struck
by a freight train and Mr. Coon was
very badly injured. From the effects
of those injuries he claims never to
have recovered. At tbe October term
of the district court in 1889 he brought
suit against the company for damages
and the jury gave a verdict in his
favor for $5,000, which the court set
aside for irregularity. On April 9,
1890, at Mr. Coon's instance the case
was dismissed at his cost and without
prejudice for future action. He has
now filed the papers for a new suit
and claims $10,000 damages.
