TH AT ATKSTE.
We hear that the matter of a Fouth
west avenue is now in the liands of a
committee to make report on to the Coun
cil lit" tJirt imnrrt?iii rF rt.f.ibli.liiniT
this thoroughfare, all are well satind
but that t will cost the city something,
is all that lies in the waj' in the mind of
any. It will certainly cost something.
There arc a few lots that mu-t be paid
for, but the cost of all cannot exceed
twenty five hundred dollars most likely
not so much. Now, whether is it best
to secure this beautiful, convenient, nat
ural inlet to the town at this cost, or to
go on as the streets are now laid, bridg
ing and grading, when it must cost at
least ten times the above amount to reach
the point oh the line at which free right
of way is now offered. We have now
some experience of the cost of both
bridges and grading. What has the
bridges from 2d street to Gth street co t ?
To ascertain this will enable anyone to
arrive at about what it will cost to get to
the west lino of the city without thisav
cnue. We have also something from
which to estimate the cost of grading.
We would respectably say to the com
mittee, and those having charge of the
interests of the city.
Think well before

A RAD TIM:.
We know that the 23d of July is a
lad time to ak farmers to lose a half a
clay to attend a political convention, and
it may be that some will not attend on
account of it being in the midst of har
vest when they aee very busy ; but we
hope there will be very few who will al
low this excuse to keep them away. It
might have been preferable to have held
these conventions a little later, but
it is too late to rectify the
tnor uovr if crror h W!,' and we trust
this matter of time will not deter the
Republican voters of Cass from attend
ing the primary meetings and there giv
ing direction to their views so that there
wilt be no deviation or shadow of turn
ing until just and true men are elected to
Gil the various State omces.

K HUTMENTS OF (jit UN.
We have, upon several occasions, sta
ted that Plattsmouth was the great
grain market of the West, and we think
the following figures justify the state
ment. Since the first of April last,
grain has been bought in this city and
shipped to Chicago over the B. & M. R.
R. , as follows :
Clark & Plummer 40,000
Bradley & Robinson 20(,000
W. O. Park & Co 75,000
Iluuiasoii & Rhodes. GO, Of JO
Other dealers, (about) 40,000
Ship'd by farmers direct 20,lK)O
455.000
These are the figures, and show a
healthy trade in this viciuitj Over
four hundred thousand bushels of grain
inside of four mouths shipped ea-t from
this citj' over a single lino of railroad,
with a large amount of gr.tiu yet in ware
houses aivai;i.ig ehipment, and a pros
pect for three times the amount on the
present crop. The region of country
tributaiy to Plattsmouth will furnish
more grain br the Chicago market next
season than it is possible for any line
railroad to carry and do the other busi
ness. It certainly seems to us thnt it
would pay the C. B. it St: Joe R. R.
Co. to run their trak down to the river
bank opposite this city in order that a
portion of this grain micht px-s over
their line, either north or south. What

A HURDEBn MAX.
The Corpse efa Man Found In n I.Off
He is Identified n Lon;;
1. latins C'ilisen f Mi
surl. A day or two ago, says the Leaven
worth CoiiiDtercial, several hoys who
were going fihing on the road which
leads from Slabtown to Farley, sat down
on a log, and were horrified to find that
the hollow tree contained the corpse of
a man. A short inspection of the body
sufficed to show that death had been
caused by a bullet through the brain,
the ball having entered at the forehead
and passed through the back of the
head.
The body having been found under
these peculiar circumstances, an inquiry
was made into the matter and a jury
convened. The result of the investiga
tiou was, the corpse was that of a gen
tleman who was missing from Smithfield,
where he had formerly kept a drug store.
The name of the deceased was James
Colley, who had been missing since the
1st of April last, and though no case was
found against any oue by the jury who
sat upon the body, suspicion rests upon
certain parties. A feud was known to
exist between him and another man,
and he had written to his wife informing
her of the fact and how she should act
in the event of his death.
Another account places the death of
tho deceased at the hand of a foot pad,
j vrhp killed and robbed him for his money,

fact that the log wherein the body was
placed was near the road, and was evi
dently chosen as a hurried receptacle for
the body.
Mr. Coiley was a well known and res
pected citizen, and the finding of the
body has created much excitement.
OVER A PKEI'IPICE.
A Woman Saved From
Dealb.
n Fearl'nl
About 9 o'clock yesterday (Sunday)
morning the people in the vicinity of
Fourth street, south of Main, were
startled by the cries of a woman calling
for help. Mr. John Shanhon soou dis
covered that the cries came from a wo
man who was hanging to the bushes im
mediately over the precipice on Fourth
street, caused by the recent grading in
that vicinity. Mr. Shannon immediate
ly notified Sheriff Johnson of the peril-
j ous position of the woman, and together
started for the rescue. They ascended
the hill by way of a foot path near the
jail, and soon arrived at a point some
distance up the hill from where the wo
man was still-clinging to the brush, her
feet hanging over the yawning precipice,
nearly fifty feet perpendicular. How
she camo there was a mystery, as she
had evidently fallen over one perpendic
ular offset iu the hill of about ten feet,
and tbe entire way from the top of the
hill to where she was hanging was o
steep that the Sheriff ami Mr. Shannon
were in momentary danger of going
headlong down the hill, and only pre
vented such a catastrophe by the utmost
care. Sheriff Johnson was the first to
reach her. He got within reach, and
seized her with one hand, gathering a
firm hold of the bushes above him with
the other. The effort to drag her from
the precipice seemed uncertain for a time,
an.l it was some seconds before it wasdo-
cided by the excited crowd which had,
hvthw i;.r. rmthr-rr..! r.r. ihr. sfrot ho.
low whether Sheriff Johnson would be
aole to drag the woman up hill or wheth
er her weight woulJ carrv toth oft" , J x"'-
them down into the chasm below. It
was a struggle for life, however, and
Sheriff Johnson is not the man to let go
his hold of a human being whose lifrdc-
I'-'"'1 UP011 exertions, even though
his o.vn were jeopardized by holding on.
His Herculean efforts finally succeeded,
and tho woman was dragged up the hii'
to where she could obtain a footing, and
by the assistance of tho two men -he was
soon brought to the top of the hill, out
of dancer. The manner of assisting her
rp the hill was not, probably, the most
elegant, and might have been considered
a ' breach" of etiquette in a drawing
room but wa effective in this instance.
The woman's life was savd, and the
next question to be determined was who
was the woman and how came she in
that perilous situation. As soon as they
had reached the summit of the hill
Sheriff Johnson asked the woman how
she came there, and she replied that she
was going to the Methodist Church and
lost her way. She was a woman of about
30 years of age, was respectably dressed,
and, to use the words of the Sheriff af
ter he had questioned her, she was
"either drunk or crazy undoubtedly the
former." She gave no name or residence,
and appeared to be a stranger. If any
one recognized her they did not claim to
be acquaintances. rhe was to d that she
could proceed to Church and she started
toward the south part of the city, ap-
Carently unconscious of the fact that she
ad created a sensation and came near
loosing her life.

AEl fc.S.
We called attention to this mest im
portant subject last evening, and we
again urge our City Council to act libe
rally in this matter and show that they
have the real interests and the expansion
of our city at heart.
There arc no cities of any importance
without avenues. They are the main ar
teries which supply the blooa of com
merce to a town, and it will be to our
discredit to be without them. In th;
memorial before the Council one import
ant fact stands prominently forward, and
that is the splendid grade and the cheap
construction of the avenue, following, as
it does, the natural fall of southwest
valley.
The cost of securing the ground is
cheaper to-day than it will ever be here
after, and this cot we understand can be
obtained by a system of condemnation
of property necessary for the use of the
avenue by appraisers appointed by
proper authority. Let no penurious
views govern our city authorities in this
matter. They have shown commendable
seal iu improving the city, and they can
win new praises by this timely and much
needed improvement. Two-thirds of all
the produce which comes to this city is
moved over this identical route, and
every citizen knows how our farmers
have complained of want of work on this
very route. Make an avenue of it, let it
Le worked as our other streets are worked,
and a lasting benefit will be conferred on
Pijiltsuiouth. If our Council fail in
tclis matter, strangers will look upon it
as an evidence of want of confidence on
their part in the future growth of our

About the 20th of Juno last Judge
M. D. Lamb, of East Plattsmouth, was
notified by an omnibus driver that a bun
dle of clothing was lying near the river
bank opposite this city, and the Judge
immediately repaired to the spot and
took charge of the clothing. The cloth
ing consisted of three coats, two pairs of
pants, one shirt, apparently belonging to
a boy about 12 years old, several books
and a letter apparently written from a
mother to her son, and dated at Brook
lyn, May 8th, 1870, and signed "Annie
Mercer." Mr. Lamb immediately for
warded a description of the clothing, to
gether with the letter found, to the Post
Master at Brooklyn. Yesterday he re
ceived the following letter :
I'OST UFEICE, liSOOKLYX, t
July 7th, 1870. )
Dear Sir: You will psreeive by the
enclosed slip that I have received your
letter of the 27th June, and have acted
on your suggestion by putting the matter
in the hands of our Chief of Police and
otherwise giving ic publicity. This morn
ing I had a short interview with the
anguished mother, Mrs. Mercer. To
morrow morning I am to meet her again
at this office. I have received several
1
tiers which appear to bear on the case
Copies ot these are now being made and
be forwarded to j'ou ln a day or two,
'oetlier with sach fccts as may be ob
j tTu,n.od ,la connection with the matter.-
Joseph Mercer, has met with foul play
If you have obtained any additional facts
will you be kind enough to forward them
to me. Yours truly,
Sam. N. Booth, P. M.
The following is the slip referred to in
the above letter, apparently taken from
a New York or Brooklyn paper :
"A letter was ree'd yesterday by Post
master Booth, of Brooklyn, . from M. D.
I jamb,' Justice of the Peace in East
Plattsmouth, Milis count', Iowa, g.ving
intelligence of the discovery of a bundle
of clothing, consisting of three coats,
two pairs of pants, one shirt, and seve
ral school books. The clothes were ap
parently fitted for a boy of about 12
years of age. In the bundle was a letter
dated "Brooklyn, May 8, 1870," and
signed "Mrs. Annie Mercer." The let
ter was evidently from a mother to her
son, and contained much motherly ad
vice and affectionate wishes. The letter
contained also an allusion to "Mr. Ste
phenson, the minister," which formed
the only clue whereby to unravel the
niystery. The letter from Mr. Lamb
was placed in the hands of Chief of Po
lice Campbell, who ascertained that
about the first of May last Mr. Robert
Kelly, foreman in the printing depart
ment ot the Brooklyn L nion, leil for th
West, where he had some proiierty, tak
IVS .n.1 IW'n"Fhi; P:
. v..v.-.t- irn m' i
to Omaha, gidng him $20 to pay his ex- j
penses. The boy has not since been i
heard of, but the clothing and books
round on the banks ot the .Missouri liver
evidently belonged to him. Whether he
accidentally lost his bundle, or was
di owned, or foully dealt with, is yet a
mystery. Chief Campbell is in commu
nication with the authorities of Omaha
in order to obtain some intel'igence of
the missing boy."
Since the finding of the clothing, J udge
Lamb informs us that a card was found
near the same spot upon which are
printed tue "Rules of the Union office."
Whether the boy has been foully dealt
with, or whether his clothes were acci
dentally lost is a question and hardly a
question, either. We shall probably
know more of this affair in a few days.
Two Washington ladies, one an Amer
ican, and the other a foreigner, have
specially distinguished themselves during
the season for their extreme usage of the
"corsage cnt low." The latter received
quite a pointed rebuke at an entertain
ment lately. She was languidly eating
an ice, leaning back on a sofa, while a
gentleman laneuished at her side. An
other gentleman, after wateb'u? the
pretty little scene, took a "tidy" iiom a i
chair, and. gouur up to the 'aly. deliix.-i -

Is the day all Republican voters in Cass
County are called upon to assemble at the
places of holding elections in the various
precinct, fjr the purpose of choosing
delegates to represent them in the Coun
ty Convention to be held on the 2Jth.
We have this one thing to say to our
Republican friends in Platts-mouth and
all other precincts : See to it that men
arc elected who will represent you. We
know the country people are busy har
vesting, but we hope they will go to the
precinct meetings. You have a rcspon
ibility you cannot shirk. A failure on
your part to attend the primary meeting
may result in the nomination to an im
portant office a man whom you will dis
like to support. Where is your remedy ?
you may turn about and say the party ii
to blame for nominating such men, but
who is the party. Are you not a part of
it, and may not your own neglect of duy
be the cause of the nomination of men
who arc not your choice. Rectify all this
at the primary meetings next Saturday.
THE CONSOLIDATION'
Of the Chronicle and Press at Nebraska
City, under the name of the former, will
be hailed with delight by the Republi
cans throughout the State. It will vir
tually end the severe political fight which
has been Taged within the party in that
locality for the past two years, and will
have a tendency to increase the party
strength. Hon. W. II. II. Waters, who
remains as editor and proprietor of the
consolidated concern, is one of the best
writers of the State, both general and
local, and is a man of large experience
in the newspaper business. He was ed
itor and proprietor of the Press for many
years, whilethat paper was in its
palmiest days. Under his management
we doubt not the Chronicle, left with a
free field, will prove one of the best
iicwepapei"s in the west, and we trust it
J may prove equally succes. ful in a finan
j cial point of view.
THE ROCK ELITES EXCl'lISCON.
A party of our citizens went down on
the Glasgow Monday evening, to Rock
Bluffs, to "trip the fantastic toe;" but on
arriving at the warehouse, two miles be
low town, found that the corn which was
expected to be a cause for the detention
of the boat till daylight, had been re
moved by the Elkhorn. Determined,
however, upon having a dance, they
wended their way a distance of nearly
two miles to the noted city, and after a
delay of only about an hour, arranged to
enjoy themselves in a social hop at the
Dobson House.
Special mention is made by the entire
party of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Shera, who, iu the absence of
other accommodations, kindly cared for
our pcoplo. The party tender their most
hearty thanks to the hot and hostess,
and hope for an opportunity to recipro
cate their kindness. Rock B!ufiV-, come

with their own conveyances, and camie 1
in regular western style. Arriving at
Ft. Kearnev thev procured a military
guard, and were joined by lion. Moses !
Sydenham, of the Central St ir. They
explored the Republican Valley, the
southern part of Franklin and Webster
counties, aud the headquarters of the
Blues and Beavers. Mr. Harris informs
us that they found no traces of the
"Great American Desert," that formid
able institution of the dark ages having
vanished before the hardy pioneers of
the west and the engineer corps of the
B. & M. in Nebraska, as the morning
dew vanishes before the sun. Mr.
Harris, aad in fact the entire party, pro
nounce the country along the Blues and
the Beaver, aud especially Webstr county,
equal to our own beautiful Cass. The
game killed by the party consisted of
two bullaloes, one antelope, one snake
and one skunk- They saw no Indians,
felt perfectly secure during the entire
trip, and came home thinking that Ne
braska is the greatest country in the
world, and that she orrfy needs to be seen
to be appreciated.

The most of our rctders have undoubt
edly heard of the new burning rluid,
called Gasoline, but we doubt if many of
them in the vicinity of Plattsmouth have
ever tested its merits. We know that
the opinion prevails, to a great extent,
that all these gaseous fluids are highly
inflamable and expensive, hence the re-

ABOl'T THE AVESl'E.
Ml Uditur : The spit It manifested in
an article in ye tor day's daily for the suc
cess of the Avenue project, meets the
views of the resident tax-payers of our
city, cud is but a reiteration of the ;-cu-timents
expressed by the many signers of
the petition presented to the City Coun-
cil at their last meeting, without regard
to the locality of said signers.
It seems to me, and is the universal
belief of the tan-payer who expects to be
taxed to gia.le streets a:d build bridges
in our young city, that there is u
street in Plattsmouth City capable of be
ing adapted to the icttitts ami b ai'iiulx
of the public, and with so little expense
as this proposed avenue. Now, .sir, a
few hundred dollars will procure the
right of way, complete, for this avemt;?,
which will save thousands of dollars in
grading and bridging. This is univer
sally admitted, x he right of way on this
avenue has been almost all obtained free
of any cost to the city, and we hope,
therefore, that the committee having
charge of this matter will uige, by a
favorable report, the loeation of this
avenue, and at oice, remembering th;it
the people have petitioned for it, and
that the complete cost of this whole
street to the city wil! not probably be as
much as the bail ling of one certain
bridge that your correspondent could
point out on Fourth Street, buiit by the
late Council without any such expression
on the part cf the citizen, urging the
same. Tax-Payer.
WON'T 4'OXSOJ I HATE.
The Council Bluffs Timis of a recent
date has the following :
;'We learn upon good authority, that
the Burlington and .Missouri R. R. v. ill
not join the proposed "consolidation into
one guild Company" of the different
uihoads centering at Council Bluffs.
The B' & M. puipooes to remain in li;
pendent, and does uot entei tain the "mo
nopoly" idea. The road is already on a
basis which pays beyond the expecta
tions indulged in by its directors one
year ago. '.therefore they luvecouchuled
not to enter into any aiianeiucnt with
other roads whureby a moiupoly mav re
biilt." Of course the B. & M. will not enter
into any such airangemc-ats. This com
pany stands, single handed and alone, a
greater company than can be formed J.y
a consolidation of all other interests
reaching the Missouri river, and time
will demonstrate the truth of what we
say.

the present propritor of the Ch:-o:,ie)e.
The new arrangement unites the entire
