ADJOURNMENT OF COLIIT.
The Knights Templar have had big
doings at New Orleans, as witness de
scription given below. Major Wheeler
of Plattsmouth, and several parties
from other parts of the State were
there to swell the procession:
New Orleans, Dec. 4.
The parade of Knights Templar to
day was a grand affair. The buildings
on the line of march were decorated
with national Hags and banners, and
the streets were crowded with specta
tors. The prize offered by the Louisia
na Jockey Club for the best drilled and
best appearing company was .awarded
to the St. Louis Command, Xo. 1.
In obedience to Mayor Leeds' procla
mation, the City Hall was closed to
day in honor of the visiting sir knights.
The courts were closed, and business
generally throughout the city was sus
pended, while the procession was mov
ing. The Pickwick Club, St. Charles
Hotel. Masonic Hall, and many other
buildings are brilliantly illuminated to
night.

U. W. WISH.
:):', Nnpcj mtrndmt.
The adjournment of the December
term of Court was wrong. Tardy jus
tice, the very word is a frightful
misnomer. It is not only the preroga
tive, but the absolute duty of Courts to
administer justice to all parties who
come within their respective jurisdic
tions for the enforcement or protection
of rights or the prevention or redress of
wrongs, and this irrespective of the
character of the parties litigating.
The law of this State guarantees to
Cass county two terms of the District
Court, annually ; namely: commencing
on the third Monday of March and the
first Monday of December of each year,
and that the December term, all things
considered, is the most favorable one
for the transaction of business, is plain
to all. The people, whether litigants
or not, true to the instincts of civilized
nations, always look forward with
more or less interest to the tribunals
of justice, the auxiliary brandies of
the judicial department of the State
government.
Delay in the proceedings of Courts
except for the furtherance of justice,
never was contemplated by either the
common or statute law. And delays
for any other cause are always a source
of disappointment and aggravation to
parties who go into Courts to maintain
their rights; and not only this, but
such delays work a positive if not an
irreparable injury to the reputation of
the Court itself. Attorneys are officers
of Court for the proper management of
the causes of their clients at the bar,
and their interests are in the majority
of cases if not universally, subordinate
to the l ights of their clients.
There are other phases of this ques
tion which are no doubt fully appre
ciated by the masses of the people that
need not here be mentioned.
Would it not be well for all concern
ed to discourage adjournments of the
District Court, for a while ? except up
on good and sufficient reasons, and thus
secure to Cass county at least one reyn
lar term in the space of every eighteen
months.

MR. EDITOR-Dear Sir: I take
the privilege of reporting to you an or
ganization of a Union Lyceum at

election of the following persons:
President, James Clark; Vice I 'resi
dent, John McCaig; Secretary, II. W.
Zink; Treasurer, Charles Holenbock.
After miscellaneous business the socie

and great interest is manifested by the
scholars. The people are all alive here
about Elm wood, and we expect a pros
jierous winter.

THE ALDINE COMPANY,

Just as we were going to Press this
morning, about eight o'clock, the alarm
of fire was sounded. The Hekald
boys dropped their sticks, left the
forms just ready for the Press, and
broke for rhe Engine House.
The fire was in the building just ca&t
of the Court House, known as Leon
ard's PI: olograph Galler, and occupied
below as a butcher shop. The fire
caught from a defective flue in the
butcher shop, and hythe time the peo
ple or engines arrived there, the whole
Gallery was one dense cloud of
smoke and flame. Volumes of black
smoke poured through the roof and the
cracks of the building, but for 15 or 20
minutes no blaze could be seen; then
little tongues of flame crept through
here and there, and Micked out black
aud ugly patches in the weather boards
Soon all the roof was in a blaze.
The next building east, and neisel's
Feed Store, of course caught and the
blaze from all these buildiog
ROSE. HIGH
toward heaven. Now the Firemen
stream up over the ladders, the little
1'abcocks sqirt and Gzz, and the big
Engine, after some delay, sent a show
er of Eenzine over the roof. It was no
go, higher rose the flames, flereer grew
the heat. Treasurer Cummins began
to pack the things from his olltee.
Dan. McKinnon, and Commissioner
Clark, who happened to be here, order
ed the things in the County Clerk's of
tice to be pulled out, and soon'. a huge
pile County books, records, pledges and
vouchers lay in the street.
THE COURT HOUSE
caught in several places, and 'for some
time it seemed impossible to save it.
Wet blankets were spread on the roof
of the County buildings, and also on
the roof and over the sides of Merks'
hardware j tore, on the east. Wheel
er's house was in imminent danger, and
the pale faces on every hand gave token
that the danger was fully realized.
'.A DUCKET CEIOADE
was formed from the creek, 125 yards
distant, and soon the. water began to
fly lively. All the wells about had
been emptied before this, the soda wa
ter had given out in the big Eabcock,
and the red, red fiend seemed to be hav
ing a perfect Christmas holiday time of
it all.to himself.
THE FIREMEN
and citizens worked heroically to save
the Court House standing in the scorch
ing flames and packing buc kets rapidly
to be flung over the scorching, hissing
roof.
AT LAST
the two frarae buildings fell Twith a
great crash and the worst of the .dan
ger was over. The buckets did th
business mainly, and we hope, hereaf
ter, when a fire breaks out a bucket
line will bo formed more speedily than
it was this morning.
The machine shop boys, our town
boys and the firemen all worked like
nailers. Frank Stadtcr held the noz
zle on the roof as long as a single "ga
loot" could pass a bucket to him. Some
man in a blanket on the Court House
kept his place firmly, and passed many
a bucket along.
It would be useless to attempt to
mention the names of all who acted
bravely and well, the citizens may
thank the boys in a bunch for doing
the best they could t"ailhf ully and live
ly, but we; need more organization.
better order, and Leaders, if we are to
have.mauy more such fires.
THE DAMAGED.
Leonard saved most of his pictures,
chemicals Slc, some of the meat was
saved from the Butcher shop but most
of it was roasted too crisp for even a
grasshopper sufferer to digest.
Harvey Snge lived over tjie auction
store, but got most of his things out
and moved up to Elbert Duke's, Hei
sel lost some of his flour, feed &c,Frank
White got his auction'goods mostly out
Leonard and l'armele owned the build
ing that caught first. Mr. Hillings the
other two. No insurance on anything
and the buildings ji complete mass of
cinders, with the exception of a few
bricks in the side wall of the feed
store. Loss about 4,000.
TEN O'CLOCK.
Already the streets are almost clean
ed, the books are put back in the Co.
Treasurer's and County Clerk's olliee,
Heisel is open across at Schluntz's old
stand and Leonard is hunting another
skylight. He expects to take a "Photo"
of the dirtiest Fireman there was be
fore night yet.
Mayor Livingston was on the ground
working like a Beaver, John Fitzger
ald spoiled a new hat, and Sam. Darker
shouted himself hoarse.
AN OLD LAND MARK GONE.
Pottenger's old office, one of the old
est and meanest landmarks on the
street was "hooked" by the boys early in
the fight and no more can "Put" smoke
on the steps even if the Mormons al
low him to return and pass his declin
ing years in his almost native place.
No one was hurt seriously, one or
two got a scratch, and lots of good
clothes are soaked, and now we're all
glad it is no worse; if we had lost our
Court House, we should have been in a
bail fix. Fate on the whole was kind
ly to us, no wind, and the "actual dam
age is not irreparable."
