PERSONAL, POLITICAL AKD PERTIHEHT.
Much criticism is offered today to
the apparent unfairness with which
Jadge Chapman has treated the demo
crats of this judicial district in the
matter of fixing the days for holding
court. The fact ie pointed out that
he adjourned court over Tuesday,
when the republican convention was
held at Nebraska City, so that other
lawyers, as well as himself, could at
tend, and held no court yesterday,
but in addition to holding court to
day, the day when the democratic
convention has been called for, he had
the jury called for that day, and had
two cases set for trial then. Demo
cratic members of the bar talk of it as
an insult to them.
The largest shipment of soap ever
made arrived in Omaha yesterday
over the Chicago & Northwestern
road, and was taken to Denver via the
Union Pacific. It consisted of thirty
carloads of White Russian soap, and
the cars were covered with streamers,
bearing the name of the manufacturers
of that soap.
The constitutional convention at
Columbia, S. C, has decided that
there shall never be a divorce granted
in South Carolina for any cause. Sen
ator Tillman did his best to have the
divorces of other states - recognized in
this state, but his appeals were heard
with a deaf ear and he was voted
down. The bible was quoted from
very freely during the debate. The
parliamentary clincher was put on
after the matter was adopted.
Gottlieb Klaus, says the Columbus
Journal, will raise 700 bushels of pota
toes to the acre on his farm in Saun
ders county.
Lord Scully, the owner of so many
farms in Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois
and Indiana, comes over to America
at last to be naturalized as a citizen
and grow up with the country. This
is the first instance of the naturaliza
tion of a live British lord since the
war of the revolution. But in case
the house of peers is wirled out, ac
cording to the plans of the liberals in
Great Brittain, there will doubtless be
a great migration of the nobility to
this country, where so many of them
already own lands, mines and railroad
stocks and bonds. Other things being
equal, a man follows his property in
course of time. If we can make a
good American of Scully, we should
not. despair of doing the same for
Marlborough, Dunraven and the rest.
Lincoln Journal.
New York Sun: The day of the
prairie schooner is by no means past
despite the convenience and cheapness
of railroad travelling all over the
country. Many convoys of the
picturesque wagons are yet seen in
the further west, conveying families
of restless westerners to some newer
promised land. Last week a fleet of
schooners carrying eight families
passed through the Klamath Lake
county, Wash., enroute from Ne
braska to Ashland, Ore. They had
been on the road since May 21.
The Nebraska City News says that
"Chapman turned Warren down with
an ease and grace that could only be
expected from a trained and polished
politician."
An advertisement for Frank J. Mor
gan, the enterprising clothier, appears
in this issue. It is a good idea for
Plattsmoutb people to patronize the
merchants who advertise. If they do
not advertise, it is evident that they
don't want your trade.
The average weight of a man six
feet high should not exceed 172 pounds;
at least that should be taken as a na
tural proportion. Besides contributing
to the natural configuration of the
body, fat acts as a non-conductor of
heat and plays an important role as
food supply in sickness or starvation.
The bank of Hemingford was closed
yesterday by the state banking board.
Bank Examiner E. L. Dodder took
possession. The capital stock was
$15,000 and the bank was owned by
Messrs. II. B. Austin and McLoud.
The latest photograph of the noted
Mrs. Hetty Green is one taken when
she was a frivilous young person, more
interested in dinners and dances than
in finances. It shows a pretty girl
with regular features and vivacious
expression. It is taken in the frock
she wore to a dinner party given by
Martin Van Buren at Saratoga Springs
at which time she was chaperoned by
the wife of the Russian ambassador.
The next time Warren attempts to
capture the judgeship in this district
he will first ascertain what Cass
county has to say about the matter.
Nebraska City News.
Conductor Summers took Tom
Ryan's train out yesterday and
shortly after leaving Dunbar an old
plug of a horse got on the track and
refused to get off. To have bumped
into the old plug would have made it
a $100 horse, and the fireman had to
get off the engine and give the plug a
chase before the track could be
cleared. Nebraska City Tress.
The Press this morning said that the
nomination of Chapman was made
unanimous. The Otoe county dele
gates say that nothing of the kind was
done. It is merely a question of re
publican veracity. Nebraska City
News.
A Washington grand jury has recom
mended the reinstatement of the whip
ping post as a penalty for wife beaters
and other petty criminals. It may be
that these offenders need more severe
punishment than is now accorded
them, but a return to the semi-barbarian
whipping-post is a step back
from civilization which will not have
the popular approval. Bee.
The republicans ot the second judi
cial district renominated Judge Chap
man yesterday in their convention at
Nebraska City. In doing this they un
derstand,of course, thatthey will have
a vigorous figl ton their hands to make
it suceessful Judge Chapman has un
questioned ability, and is a very pleas
ant gentleman socially; but he has for
various reasons incurred very bitter
enemies, especially aBioiig members of
the bar, and his party will have a job
of no ordinary character on' its hands
to elect him, no mattrr who the nom
inee is on the democratic side. The
democrats of this county have indi
cated their preference for that office in
the person of Basil S. Ramsey, county
judge for the past three terms, who
has made an exceptionally good record
in that office, and in case he is nom
inated it will no doubt be a very pretty
fight with the odds in the latter's favor
In the notice given of the candi
dates on the democratic ticket last week
the fact was inadvertantly omitted that
Judge Archer is a member of the bar,
having been regularly admitted after
due examination, and would be a prac
tising attorney but for the fact that
his official business as police judge and
justice of the peace has for several
years past in a great measure debarred
him from taking cases at law. The
fact that Mr. Archer has made such
an exceptionally just and equitable
justice of the peace and judge of the
police court of the city as to satisfy
men of all parties points him out as
entirely capable and the proper man
for county judge, independent of his
being a lawyer.
Otoe county republicans are, ac
cording to the Nebraska City papers,
very indignant at the delegates of the
Cass county convention, who gave
Judge Chapman the privilege to name
his own delegation to the judicial con
vention, and they threaten to not go
through the fcrmality of naming dele
gates to that convention. They think,
as a matter of courtesy, Otoe county
republicans should have been consulted
at least. Some of the leaders of the
party are quoted as saying they will
not support the judge at the polls, and
if they carry out their threats, he may
find it a close race thi3 time if he gets
elected. Weeping Water Republican.
The democrats in Cass county who
this year vote for Judge Chapman will
be few and far between.
Will Not Fluht In Texas.
Corbettand Pitzsimmons must find
another place than Texas to pul! of
their fight for the proposed champion
ship of the world. The legislature
yesterday, by a vote that was prac
tically unanimous in the senate and
only a little less in the house, passed
the bill prohibiting prize-fighting and
thus accomplished the purpose for
which the governor assembled the
members in special session. The vote
by which the bill was carried furnishes
the strongest proof of the sentiment of
the state with reference to prize-fighting.
The bill makes prize-fighting a
felony and imposes a punishment upon
the principals for every infraction of
the law by imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for a term of not less than
two and not more than five years.
A dispatch from Laredot Tex., says
that "the representatives of the
Florida Athletic club have completed
arrangements with the owners of a
bull pen across the river in New
Laredo, Mexico, for an option of eight
days' duration, the object being to se
cure a place for the Corbett-Pitzsim-mons
fight. The consent of the city
authorities of New Laredo has been
secured to permit the fight to take
place. All that now remains is the
approval of the governor of the state,
Tamaulpias, wha is now being com
municated with."
