Adrestisements from J.C.Jon 13, JR.. Adver
tising Agent.)
IMPORTANT TO BOTH SEXES
There exists a false delicacy ani pride
amounting almost to prudery, in regard to con
sulting b physician in certain maladies. The
medical faculty recognise it. and aro dumb.
Those of the public afflicted txknowlodge the
truth of it. and suffer in silence. Tbe province
of this circular is to present the subject in its
true light.
Hundreds of lives are lost every year by dis
eases which have been neglected or improperly
treated. In tbe ease of young men there seems
no apology, and yet in many cases they attempt
to cure themselves with vile nostrums, and in
consequenco shortea their lives, and pass tbe
miserable remnant of existence with their blood
filled with the poison of a stifled, but cot cured
disease, which must inevitably be transmitted
to the third and fourth generations.
With young womt-u there seems some excuse.
and yet their utmost secrcsy will not conceal the
facts. Any intelligent physician who walks
these streets can recognize among the ladies, by
certain infallible toketis known to biia. aud of
which the sufferers are often totally ignorant,
the ravages of that wide spread scounte. the
whites. Any intelligent physician can point out
in his daily walks score of this anil kindred
complaints, in both sexes, the existence of which
they cannot ignore. The educated suflerer
knows tbe physician can detect this. Tbe phy
sician knows that the sufferer knows it, and yet,
in nine cases out 01 ten, the afllicted individual
fails to consult the man whom he knows is cog
nisant, both of tbe nouinlaint und the means of
cure. Knowing tht health can be restored, and
who cau restore it, t.hey deliberately ullow them
selves to become mvre wrecks of bontt.nit), and
to transmit diseased constitutions to their
descendants.
To Yomiff 3Icn.
In every community there aro vast numbers
of young men a til ic ted with nominal weukucss,
nocturnal emissions, lassitude, debility, and tbe
other attendant tyuiptoin of txxrret disorder,
undermining the -constitution, aud totally de
stroying iis victim, mentally aud physically,
soonor or later. '1 be disease is progressive, and,
if not checked, dUzinrss, loss ot uieinury, un
controllable procrastination in business, pains
in the back, rule ana knees, t llomsli drool
from the uioutu during sleep, and failure of all
physical energy scon follows. 'rom this stage
ts a series of short steps to an early grave, or the
confinement of a lunatic aeyluiu.
Many of these young men have responded to
advertisements of so-called Benevolent "Asso
ciations," or unscrupulous quacks in distant
cities, and after having been swindled of their
money by one and another, have abandoned
hope and pronounced themselves incurable.
, Dr. btoddard practices on the "no cure, no
pay" principle, and proposes to forfeit $1,01)0 and
all fees if he fails to cure any cue of seminal
weakness where his treatment and directions
are followed, lis uses no secret remedies none
but vegetable medicines, nnd bis peculiar treat
ment must receive tbe endorsement of all who
intelligently pursue it.
To Rforried Ladies.
There are Indies who, from dc'.icate constitu
tions, indigent circumstances, or an already nu
merous offspring, do not wish to become mothers.
To such is offered a safe and sure remedy against
conception. Success warranted in every case ;
f:uaranteed as containing no ingredients in the
east injurious to the feeblest temperament.
Lcucborrhae, -r Whites, positively and per
manently cured. Cases of long standing, how
ever aiTKravated, must yield to this remody.

THE B. M. LANDS.
Mr. Geo. S. Harris, Land Commis
sioner of the B. Si M. 11. R. in Nebras
ka, accompanied by Mr J. M, Willis,
left the city this morning for the purpose
of making a preliminary survey ot the
lands of the B. fc M. R, R. between
this city and Ft. Kearney, with a view
to bringing them into market at an early
day. Mr. Harris is the Land Commis
sioner of the Hannibal & St. Joseph R.
R., and has done more to bring settlers
into north-west Missouri than all the
emigrant aid societies in the United
States. He has used probably ten tons
of white paper in advertising that region
of countrj'j and will do an equally exten
sive business in advertising Nebraska.
The Lands will be sold to actual settlers
at fair prices and on long time.

ROADS.
Among the other important officers t
be elected at the approaching election n
the 12th cf Oetober next we deaire t
call attention of every voter to that of
Road Supervisor in each Road District
Heretofore there has been a great lacl
of appreciation of the importance of thi
office to the welfare of the country, aiwi
ordinarily no nominations have ibeei
made, but every citizen voted for whoa
he pleased. Now we suggest that thesd
officers be selected at all the priniaiH
meetings, and that the selections fbe
made with a regard to the fitnessi of
things. If there is one clement of .suc
cess which is absolutely essential to the
growth aud prosperity of a community,
it is that of the efficiency of Roads and
Bridges. Without good roads every
man in the county suffers and we hold
that there is no officer whose importance
to his district is of such paramount ne
cessity, 11 the growth and uevelopeinent
of the country is sought as that of Road
Supervisor. We therefore hope that in
telligent, active, driving men, who will en
force the law and who know how to con
struct a road, may be elected in each Road
District
THE TEXT BOOK QUESTION.
The Nebraska City Xttct spouts and
splutters something about D. Butler,
T. P. Kennard and S. D. Beals, in con
nection with some very uncertain insin
uations of corruption in relation to tho
Text Books selected for use in the publio
schools in Nebraska, and we find that
damaging rumors are afloat on the same
subject. This is all wrong. If the Xcict
or anyone else, knoict of any corruptio3
or fraud in regard to this matter, let
them spit it out in an intelligible manner,
so that the people may know exactly
what it is, and if they are only dealing ii
some imaginary evil, then they should
be condemned by every honest man in
the country. Mr. Beals has designate!
a certain set of text books, and the Xtut
insinuates (the meanest thing any orto
can do) that money caused the selectic
to be made. Now, so far as the merit;
or dements or the jmoks are con
eerned it makes no difference if tl4
selection is good or bad, let then
rest upon their merits, and not upon th
means used to secure their introducti i
but it does make no difference to th
men charged by inuendo with thiscorrcr
tion, and nothing short of positive evi
dence that bribery had been indulged i
should be a sufficient guarantee for
jonrnalist to write as Morton has writt?t
Has he that positive evidence? If li J
has, then again is he to blame for d t
letting the people know what it i ,
that they may judge for thenisclvev -We
fear the object of the News and i s
co-workers in this matter is not to wr e
the interest of the people or of educaii' n
hut merely to make political capital
against the State officers. If ther? is
coruption in this matter, Republic as
will denounce' it and denounce the pn.i
ripants as promptly as will any pe; but
it is unfair, unjust and unmanly to a'6
men of bribery and oomiption in a ntat
ter of as great importance as this wi:K "it
giving the proofs. The people will re
quire it, and will denounce the men tho
give publicity to such t landerou re
ports unless the authority for thcrJ is
made public.
'WOOD ! AVE COAL.
The fellow named Woodhave,
ho
bloviated about coal down here so Q uch
that he done the locality an injil by
causing people to suppose there ' no
indications, even, of coal, writes the
Omaha Herald: "If the person who
signs bim self "Miner" is better acq1 lint-
ET IE IE .A. ILj J3 o
ed in Plattsmouth Qr vicintity than I am,
I am a fool." We agree with Mr.
Woodhave exactly ; for the author of the
article signed "Miner" is as well ac
quainted about Plattsmouth as any man
in the city. "Out of theirown mouths,"
etc The truth is, there are indications
of coal here, and they are sufficiently en
couraging to cause a thorough prospect
ing to demonstrate whether or not there
is coal; but when Mr. Woodhave, or " J.
A. P.," or "any other man" pretends
to say, as they have said, that coal in
paying quantities has already Ixien found
here, they simply state an untruth,
which they know to be an untruth if
they know anything about it A small
Vein say eighteen inches in thickness
of .something that has an appearance of
boall, although in our opinion is nothing
bu'i slate shales, has been opened at the
poiipt of rocks below the city. We have
examined it, in company with responsi
ble parties, and have no hesitancy in
saying that, in our judgement, coal will
never be found in that vein. This is the
'ony vein that Mr. Woodhave or "J. A.
P.' either one of them ever saw at
Plattsmouth. We have specimens of
the article in the Herald office,and spe
cimens can also be seen at the Platte Val
ley House, with Mr. Thompson, who has
charge of the prosj)ecting operations,
and who is very sanguine of finding coal,
but not in that vein Mr. Tichnor, also,
appears sanguine of finding paying coal,
and we are informed by Mr. Thompson,
has left $500 to be used in prospecting.
Mr. Thompson further informs us that
the work of sinking a shaft will be com
menced immediately, and that it will be
put down until coal is found, or until they
arc satisfied it does not exist within 500
f jet We are, as we said before, willing to
givo honest seekers after coal all the en
couragement in our power, and trust they
may yet find coal in paying quantities ;
but when such outrageous stories as those
told by "J. A. P." and Mr. Woodhave
are circulated purely for speculative pur
poses, we will ever be found denouncing
them as they deserve. We shall visit
the work often,and report upon it exactly
as we think it deserves regardless of who
it pleases or displeases.
Bbw Btatlalai c the Fair.
Very soon our Agricultural and Hor
ticultural societies will be holding their
annual fairs, and it is the duty of every
man and woman to contribute something
towards their supports. If you can do
no more than become member of the
Association, it will be a step in the right
direction ; but, there are very few persons
living on a firm who do not have, a few
Tocl things that would aid in making up
a respectable exhibition. If you decide
not to 'carry anything to the show but
your dear self and fatuily, we beg of you
to leep quiet when you get there, and
not say, "If I had only known t hut
Brown's pumpkins and inoloii-i were 0
Himill, I would hive brought mine and
carried off those pmiums."
Now, we have heard just such remarks
hundreds of times at County and Stnte
fairs, and have wanted to reply: We do
not believe a word of it ; because it
sounds so much lik bragging with noth
ing to back it up. Just get ready this
month for the sdiows in September.
Never mind watching your neighbors,
but put your best colt in trim for the fair.
Ask the women folks to do their part with
the lutter and cheese, and whisper to
then, that this lot shall lie sold for their
exclusive benefit There is nothing like
thisjextra pay to wife and daughters
for an extra hundred dollars now and
then will go a long way toward keeping
smiks from becoming scarce within doors.
Of eourse the men folks must not ask
what becomes of the money, because, as
it is a gift, it is none of the men's busi
ness. We have tried this kind of strate
gy, and know that it is a good thing to do
as often as one , can afford it While
these things are going on within doors,
let the men folks apply liquid manure to
tie vegetables, and how them often and
thoroughly, and when the fair day arriv
es, go and take a load of the very best
produce of your farm. If you fail to carry
tome a premium, don't declare the judg
es dishonest fools, and fairs in genera
are humbugs. Suppose everybody should
win a premium, what would it be worth?
Besides, if a man has got a soul in him,
he will enjoy being beaten in a fair com
petition for excellence of produce, because
it will show that others have lieen at
work to elevate one will do his be,
there will be no failures this fall with
our County, town or State fairs. Sun.'
We print this week a list of text books
to be used in our common schools.
There are various rumors afloat account
ing for this selection. It was stated at
the State Teachers Convention last
month that a person in no way author
ized had declared in Chicago that the se
ries herewith published was the one de
cided upon, but no one then gave cred
ence to the reiKjrt which we now find to
be correct We hope the books are the
best in use, and if so, are heartily glad
that the matter is now settled. In Ne
maha county the variety of text books
have been as numerous as the schools,
and we might with some truth have said
as the scholars. If uniformity is now se
cured, we will not further trouble our
selves as "to who or what" induced the
selection. Adrer titer.

A Cloud of TfyMtery Enshrouds the
Terrible Affair.
From the Omaha Republican.
Yesterday morning's Republican con
tainod the startling announcement that a
loxx containing the mutilated Lody of a
man, had been found the previous even
ing ia a creek south of the city. The
lateness of the hour at which the intelli
gence was pained prevented us giving
full particulars concerning the ttrribie
discovery, which are as follows :
About five o'clock on Thuisday even
ing a counle of fanners, named Fred
"Campbell and Edward Schlick. were en
gaged in hauling wood, and while cross
ing the creek, which empties into the
river at a point near the stone quarry-,
they discovered, in the bed of the creek,
some fifteen or twenty yards from the
river hank, a box partially imbedded in
the mud, the creek being almost dry.
The sight of the article fully aroused
their curiosity, and they immediately set
to work to dig it out, a task soon accom
plished. The box was pine, about thirteen inch
es deep, fourteen inches wide and three
and a half feet long, and bound at each
end with iron hoops. One of the top
boards being partially misplaced, they
found no trouble in ascertaining the con
tents, which to their horror proved to be
the remains of a man, literally chopped
to pieces. The head was severod from
the body and packed in one corner of
the box ; both legs had been chopped
from the body, and afterwards hackled off
at the knee and ankle joints ; the arms
had been taken off at the should. r, and
packed closely alongside the body, while
the other dissevered members had been
placed in position with a hellish ingenu
ity that makes the blood chill to think
upon. The head had also been sawed 1
and chopped across the front portion of
the skull and from the forehead toward
the back part of the head, the top of which
had been lifted off. On the chest was
placed a fine linen shirt supposed to be
of German manufacture. The fhh of
the face was entirely decomposed, thus
preventing a recognition of tlio features.
The lid of the box was directed in j-Wm !
black letters to "D. B. Sargent, Omaki,
Neb." Nothing else was found which
would in any way throw light upon the
mystery-
The box is supposed to have b.'en
either bought or stolen from the store
of Mr. Sargent, on Thirteenth street, 1'cr
thepurpose for which it was used.
Trie coroners iury yesterday rendered
a verdict that the man came tD his death
at the hands of some person or persons
unknown.
The body is supposed to be that of a
man agcd"alout twenty-four years, and
had probably been dead three or four
mouths.
There are nianv conjectures rife
concerning the terrible affair,-but none
of sufficient probability to deserve any
belief.
In hope that it will not be long before
"murder will out," we give the sicken
ing details and leave the conjectures to
others. l"
