cio west.
"they are reported as going to have a
big time at Louisville on th Fourth.
We have riot heard the particulars yet.
Slather, Asst Secretary of the Con
Con., behaved hinself first rate during
the late trial of wind at Lincoln. He
deserves our thanks and has them.
AVo understand that the Governor
lias asked the Aid Society to recall the

whoppers about the hoppers that a
large portion of the citizens of Nebras
ka cannot believe thein.-

FOURTH OF JULY
At Weeping Water on
SATURDAY, TIIE THIRD.
Speeches, Basket dinners and all the
good things of the season. They ex
pect a large turn-out, and we hope ev
t ry one that can. will go.
J. I. Webster, President of the Con.
Con., made a neat speech at the close
of their labors (?), and if anything
would induce us to vote for the thing,
H would be "Web's" speech. Mr. Web
ster, by the way, made a good officer,
tempering dignity with mildness, and
keeping" good order while allowing fair
lieense.-
The UkRald is not the guardian of
the County Commissioners, nor respon
sible for their acts. The reason their
meeting was called in such haste, was
simply because there was barely time
before the bonds expired, to make the
call nnd advertise it 30 days. If they
allowed the bonds to expire, new ones
would have to be issued and more ex
cuse incurred.
Cal. Parmele has just returned from
Missouri, where he has been to buy
cattle and sheep. His reports are heart
rending. In five or six of the most
fertile counties iu Missouri the grass
hoppers have completely devastated the
country, taking the trees, tame grasses
'ind crops clean and clear. One thou
'sand head of cattle died for want of
food in one county alone. Mr. P.
brought two car loads of sheep, one of
cattle, and some horses.
Governor Garber had a long petition
presented to him not long since asking
that a day of public prayer and fasting
ie set apart to relieve us of the curse
of the grasshoppers. The Governor
argued that as the petitioners simply
projosed that they leave Nebraska it
-would only be shifting the plague on
some one else, and that we Had no right
to ask. We see that Prof. Drake, of
Lincoln, and some other Christian gen
tlemen, are having a bout over the pro
priety of the prayer guage.
THE NEW
CONSTITUTION
TTEEX.
THIS
Is issued by the Herald in supple
ment form this week. We are very
much pressed for both time and space
and shall make no further comment at
present until all our folks have read it
and have a chance to judge whether
our ideas and opinions are good. The
election is not until October, and there
is plenty of time for us to make up our
minds and to discuss the instrument
fairly and fully.
Mr. Frost says that had it not been
for the timely aid rendered by the East
to our grasshopper sufferers, we should
liavv had 75,000 dead corpses on the
prairies of Nebraska. We doubt this
very much. We are very glad of all
timely aid to real sufferers, but such
nonsense as this ought not to be al
Ljwfed to pass as the facts in regard to
our State. Seventy-five thousand peo
ple could not have died here under any
circumstance3 without help. A few
might, but such a number never, and
as a matter of "fact, we doubt if a single
absolute death can be traced to grass
hopper starvation in the State.
The State Horticultural Society met
at Omaha on Tuesday the 15th, in the
large dining room of the "Grand Cent
ral." The following officers were pres
ent: J. T. Allan, Omaha, President; D.
H. Wheeler, Plattsmouth, Secretary
Members Stephen B. Hobson, Cass
County, Jas. W. Moore, J. II. Masters,
and others.
Messrs. Wheeler and Hobson were
appointed a committee to express the
sympathy of the Society towards the
nurserymen and orchard ists of Nebras
ka, who have been scourged by the lo
custs. The Society meets at the Fairgrounds
at Omaha, September 21st, 1875.
Mr. Leopold, Of the firm of Leopold,
Kuh &Ct Chicago, visited us during
the great graashopper days of Wednes
day and Thursday, last week, and rode
over the county to satisfy himself as to
the truth or falsity of the reports re
garding damages by grasshoppers in
this State. Mr. L. is a banker and
business man, and his firm have large
interests at stake in this State and in
the whole Missouri valley. It was of
the utmost importance to them that
they should obtain reliable information
of the extent of the damage, as very
silly reports had been telegraphed to
Chicago by some people saying that tha
whole country was ruined, Nebraska
merchants and business men could
never pay their bills, etc. Mr. Leopold
will visit other portions of the State,
but says, as far as Cass county is con
cerned, he is satisfied the reports were
greatly exaggerated, and that there is
no danger of any utter failure to be
apprehended. . The Herald gave a
true and fair estimate of the damage
and the facts.
Coon Kippel assisted us "spiritually"
in 'uyvjug to our new quarters.
G00D-BY TO THE HOPPERS !
" IT WILL NEVER DO TO GIVE IT
UP SO, MK. BROWN."
We Won't
Stay Hoppcred
Cent-
Worth a
They May Hop Us Down, bnt we Pop
Up Again.
Every day they fly a little, but only
a few drop; we don't propose to give it
up so. The farmers are fast replanting
corn. The wheat in many instances is
growing again nicely. Our folks were
pretty badly scared, but we won't stay
hoppered long. There's a good time
coming, we feel it in our bones. Ne
braska and Kansas have had many a
tough fight and weathered through, and
will beat this little game of the High
Flyers yet. Locusts are not the only
things that have hopped down on us in
years gone by, but we have always
popped up again afterwards, and we
will now.
MOVED!
OUR NEW OFFICE, ON VINE STREET
CORNER OF FIFTH.
WEEPING ;WATER ON THE EXTEN
SION OF BONDS.
We have received two letters from
W. W. against the extension of the
bonds and in reprobation of somebody
r calling the election. They are from
esteemed friends and the Herald
would like to publish them, but we
have been moving, have had grasshop
per news and the constitution to pub
lisn and have already given several let
ters on the tame subject. If we say
that the writers speak for a large por
tion of the people of W. W.and earnestly
protest against the expense of an elec
tion and ask that the call be revoked.
Won't that do?
THE HERALD AND THE BONDS-
In a letter from a valued correspon
dent on the bonds he seems to inti
mate that the Herald ought to say
something more about the bond3 &c.
Do have a little mercy onus, and please
remember that setting type costs mon
ey ; the times are very hard and we can
barely pay the expenses of the office
now, and ought not to give as large a
paper as we do. When you get a con
stitutional convention screwing away
and the grasshoppers raving 'round,
and a local issue on bonds on hand
don't you think a poor newspaper man
has his hands full. We have heaps of
communications )ro and con, but re
spectfully submit that we cannot fill
the paper with them, at our own ex
pense these times. Both sides have
had a hearing and the Heuald edito
rially stated the facts and the objects
of the call, explicitly, fairly and square
ly, and left the good sense of the coun
ty to judge and report at election day.
ON BONDS.
Glendale, Neb., Juno 16, 73
Pursuant to previous appointment
the citizens of Glendale assembled in
mass meeting, for the purpose of con
sidering the propriety of petitioning
the County Commissioners to recall the
call for the special election to be held
on June 23th.
On motion. Win. A. Wilson was call
ed to the chair, and Benjamin Ward
was chosen Secretary. B. S. Ramsey
stated the object of the meeting and
recommended a petition to the County
Commissioners, praying that the call
for the special election be recalled.
A petition with the above object was
circulated and signed by all present.
On motion, the chair appointed Messrs
B. S. Ramsey, Richard Lewis and A.
Ingram a committee on resolutions.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following:
Whereas, the burdens of taxation,
now resting upon the people of Cass
County, are unprecedentedly onerous
and bear heavily upon the industrial
energies of the people ; and
'Whereas, a special election has been
called by the Commissioners of Cass
County, for the purpose of voting on
extension of time for the reversion of
bonds, previously voted by the people
of said county in aid of the Weeping
Water and Platte Valley, and St. Louis
and Nebraska Trunk Railroads; and
Whereas, the partial failure of crops
during the two or three preceding
years, and the prospect of an almost en
tire destruction of the same by the
grasshoppers the present year, are caus
es of serious solicitude and alarm ;
therefore
Resolved 1st, That any efforts made
by any parties to add to our already
burdensome taxation, deserves and
should receive the unqualified condem
nation of all good citizens of the coun
ty. 2d, That the special effort now being
made to secure an extension of time
for the reversion of bonds, previously
voted by the county in aid of the Weep
ing Water and Platte Valley, and St
Louis and Nebraska Trunk Railroads
deserves universal denunciation.
3d, That the special election called
to be held on the 28th day of June, 75,
is, under existing circumstances, an
injudicious exercise of authority, and
can only result in adding its cost to our
already burdensome taxation.
4th, That the call for said special
election should be recalled by the Co.
Commissioners before the day of its
cousumation, thus saving its cost to
the taxpayers of the county.
The above resolutions were unanim
ously adopted, after which the meeting
adjourned. Wm. A. Wilson, Ch'n.
Bexj. Ward. Sec'y.

Ed. Herald Another week gone
by and we hare still no hoppers,
'though plenty flying over, going near

we have been busy battling for the po

well, oats now heading, corn growing
fast, tomatoes in blossom, beans ditto,
potatoes most big enough to use, have

BALLOON ASCENSION.
The Omaha Bee with commendable
enterprise proposes to give a great bal
loon ascension on the
, DRIVING PARK.
at Omaha on Saturday July 3. Mr.
Pierce, known as "Ranger" will man
age the areal ship. It is to be 70 feet
high, having a papacity of 20,00 cubic
feet. Mr. Pierce, his wife, and Andy
Rosewater will make the ascension,
and propose to go to the Black Hills if
they can get there and establish the
first air line above the Military to the
gold regions.
"That's a very fine dog you've got
there my lad," said an appreciate old
gentleman to a pensive looking urchin
who was dragging after him a reluct
ant Scotch terrier with a rope around
his neck. "You bet He's a werry
nice dorg, he is, I call him Celsior."
"Ah Excelsior you must have been
reading Longfellow V" "Never heard
of the fellow afore, I calls him Celsior
cause he allers points his tail up."

The approach of the Presidential election
Klvcs uiiu.suiU importance to the events and de
velopments of 1875. We shall eileavor to de
scribe them fully, faithfully, and fearlessly.
The 'Weekly Sun has now attained a circula
tion of over seventy thousand copies. Its read
ers are found in every State and Territory, and
its quality is well known to the public. We
shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to
the old standard, but to improve and add to Its
variety and mmer.
The Weekly tm will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will
he found in it, condensed when uidniNrtant,
at full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruc
tive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full
of entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and roman
ces of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department hi a prominent
feature in the weekly Sun. and its articles will
always be found fresli and useful to the farmer.
"1 he number of men independent in polities is
increasiin;. and the weekly Sun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no partv, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and for the
election of the best men. It exposes the cor
ruption that disgraces the country and threat
ens the overthrow of republican mstitions. It
has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from
the r supporters.
Tilie markets of every kind and the fashion
are regularly reported in its columns.
The price of the weekly Sun is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six
columns. As this barely pays the expenses of
paper and printing, we are not able to make any
discount or allow anv premium to friends who
may make special efforts to extend ils circula
tion. Under the new law, which requires pay
ment of Hstage in advance, one dollar a year,
with twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not nec
essary to get up a club in order to have the
Weekly San at this rate. Anvoue who sends
one dollar and twenty cents wifl get the paper
post-paid, for a year.
We have no traveling agents.
