Lincoln, July 2ts'. 1ST3.
Wo have received a, copy of the Cita
dtl, imhlished at Milwaukee, "Wis., and
devoted to interest of the Knights of
Carthage.
Minnesota has had some severe frosts
lately. Advices from thirteen counties,
in different parts of the .State, show
that there were severe frosts Sunday.
Corn suffered much damage. Tobacco
is totally destroyed. Hops, buckwheat
potatoes and all vines on the low lands
are Ladly injured.
The Uekald had the pleasure of
meeting Captain Ashly, of -Indian Com
missioner fame, at Omaha, last week.
The Captain vras on his way home to
Ileatrice froin the upper Siop.x Coun
try, ajfd is as full of old Indian nd'old
Nick, as ust.;A. Ho has added a good
many new words to his already large
voe-a-lml-a-ry (as our poor dead friend
rown used to say.)
THE AMERICAN "iSIFLE TEAM
has arrivwl safely home, and met
with a very enthusiastic reception from
the people of New York. They were
welcomed home by Mayor Wickham in
a- ne.it little speech. After the Mayor's
welcome they formed in procession
with the invited guests, and under the
escort of the 23d, GOtli, ami 12th regi
ments, marched to the Army & Xavy
Club, where a banquet was given.
VOTINli rilECINCTS.
alt Creek and Greenwood precincts
ha ing iieen consolidated, for voting
purines &c, art a loss to know how
they shall send delegates to the County
Convention. We should think they
had better hold primaries and elct the
proper delegates from each tf the old
precincts, according to the "call." It
will avoid any confusion this te, and
next year the call can be made out in
accordance with their new relations.
Our farmer friend J.inch, at Mt.
Pleasant, cut for us a little limb of Si--.
bfi i.m crabs that was very full. His
I orchard as a rule though, suffered ter
l xhy from grasshoppers. In fact the
i whole county about there did. Mrs.
Buck said to us, "most years when you
would come here I could say, down
l.in the orclisrti iR-J eat all the apples
I you want; this year we have scarcely
'any." It looks hard to see the great
; lin.i tres bare of fruit, or with little
: Ii.ili-! iveloi-ed runts on their Cout
"iiioln.
DOES INVESTIGATION INVESTI
J ATE.
Tlii:3 In juiry has oit".n been put. in
the past few years, and as often an
swered by facts in thy negative. Let
us see it C.u;s county is an exception
to the rule.
An inveKtigatingCominittee ha1
been formed to investigate County
matters, and urge economy so they
say. Let us see how far they are ahead
of the Hijuai.d, and how much they
have accomplished.
More than one yenr ago the IIki:ald
wrote the following in regard to our
Commissioners and their bridges:
The Uekald proposes to stand by
them in all reasonable and legal meas
ures until we have better reasons for
supposing them either fools, niscals, or
thieves, than at present. But we do
say that under tlie present stagnation
in business, and with the heavy debts
pressing upon our people, Vice Mills
'ju the dollar for bridge purposes, was
pretty steep, and we would be better
pleased if Messrs. Commissioners had
thought lit to extend this work over a
longer period ami called for less money
just now. Our taxation is enormous
ami it;jne decreased. There arc no
ij's and awls about the matter; State
and County ollieers must reduce the
expenses of their ollices, and cease any
unnecessary experiments, no matter
how useful to the public, until this
pressure on tin; money world passes
over. We can't stand another ounce.
Don't lay it on, then, gentlemen, and
break our backs and your own as well.
That w;is very plain talk ; we don't
think Todd could make it any plainer.
It shows just how far we could defend
the Commissioners too, viz: "In all
reasonable ami legal incisures," no
further, be they never so good friends
of ours. This was published August
13th, 1S71, ami the same paper con
tains a long list of bridges to be built,
with the length of each. Here was
fair warning to our Committee over 12
months ago. If there was any dissat
isfaction in the county, then was the
time to show it, or to take steps to pre
vent it. Why let 12 months elapse,
and just on the eve of a fall election,
when, may be, it can be used to some
advantage, come out with a hue and
cry, about bridges!
We do not in the least object to all
the proper investigation that can be
made to detect fraud, but we do most
decidedly object to these fellowa steal
ing our thunder, one year old, and try
ing to make believe that they have just
discovered a mare's nest of fraud, when
it was going on all the time under their
noses, and we further object to their ar
rogating to themselves and their clique
all the honesty, ability, and all the au
thority in the county.
Quiet and thoughtful men have long
ago looked up this matter, and, with
out blow, and parade, and talk of hang
ing, made up their minds on the best
way to act about our county affairs.
It is a late time of day to come into
court now and squeal when members
of this very committee were informed
months ago, how, and when, and where
they could stop the payment of these
orders, and show up the fraud if there
was any.
We don't believe some of these gen
tlemen mean to investigate, they do
not act like it. When Mr. Upton pro
posed to hire a lawyer and have legal
action taken, Mr. Todd moves to post
pone that until their county conven
tion meets, .and when their county con
vention meets.it will be postponed un
til after election, and after election,
you will hear no more of it.
Uy the way. let us look at that "call"
for a County Convention at Weeping
Water, on the 26th. Here it is ver
batim, from the WuUhmnn :
CITIZENS OF CASS COUNTY !
To-day the legal voters of Liberty
precinct met and formed an organiza
tion (whose object will be to examine
the records of Cass county officials.)
Hoping that other precincts will do
the same, we would request the legal
voters in each precinct, to meet at
their places of holding elections on
FRIDAY, AUG. 27th, 1875,
and elect from each precinct three
delegates, to meet at Weeping Water
Tails, on Saturday, the 2ith of August,
1873, for the purpose of forming a
county organization. (We wish to
form a permanent organization for the
purpose above mentioned.)
The voters of Plattsmouth are re
quested to meet in their respective
wards, on the evening on the 27th, and
select three delegates from each ward
to attend the Farmers' Convention in
Weeping Water, Aug. 28: politics dis
carded. l- M. MacDoxaoii,
Ch'n.
Head that call, leaving out the words
we have put in parenthesis, and it is
plainly and simply a call for a political
convention, nothing more, nothing
less. To make it plainer and more
simple, McDonagh adds his call right
under it in last week's Watchman.
Farmers' Convention; the assump
tion that Todd, McDonagh & Co., con
stitute the farmers of Cass county, and
the only ones that need look after the
welfare or honesty of the county, is as
false and absurd as that the same
crowd constitute the people of Cass
County; they never have- since the
IIf-kald has been here (if the people,
of any place, means the majority of
the people, and it means that or noth
ing) and they will not this fall.
If you want to beat the Republicans,
and think you can manage the county
better, why don't you say so like hon
est men. You have a right to do that,
it's your duty to do it; but it is not
your right to go about the country
abusing everybody and everything, and
it is not honest, nor can it lead to any
good result, or real reform to follow
the lead of men, who, under a false
name and with false designs, under
take to lead the people astray.
Honesty is the best policy in the long
run, whether in politics or business.
Itrpublieans come out of that; if
there are to be no politics in this meet
ing, why are politics mentioned?
We received a communication from
Salt Lake this Meek too lat? f-or publication.
THE COUNTY SEAT.
Tho election fbr County Seat re-location
is a fixed fact, and now comes the
question of place. Aye, there's tlie
rub. Our Weeping Water friends are
very sanguine. A great deal of bad
blood will be engendered before that is
settled; we wish some other time had
been chosen for the fray, other than
when we are suffering under severe
business depression, but when the
Gods want to see humanity real mart
they send a County Seat election on
them, and we suppose' the people of Cass
must submit. Personally, if the coun
ty seat 7ta9 to be moved the editor
would like to have it go to Weeping
Water in preference to the open prai
rie, but that is not tlie sentiment of the
people, and the real fight will not be
between Plattsmouth and Weeping
Water, as many suppose, but between
Weeping Water ami Centre. There's
the bulge our folks nre rather indif
ferent. .
THE CENTENNIAL CONVENTION.
In Omaha was quite largely attend
ed, and we think Nebraska will be ful
ly and fairly represented. It is time
we made some move. The one hun
dredth celebration of the existence of
a Republican government, once thought
impossible by all the Philosophers of
Euroie, is well worth celebrating im
mensely, and what better than by show
ing the progress in arts, agriculture
and mechanics that we have made.
We hope to see every member of the
committee or county organization alert
and up to the mark in this business
hereafter.
Dr. J no. Pdack, 1). II. Whcvjler, F. M.
Dorrington and J. A. MacMurphy were
present froih Cass. Dr. Black was
made one of tho Vice Presidents. A
committee of eleven were appointed to
wait on the Governor and urge State
action and a State appropriation. The
U. I, ami 13. & M. R. R. companies will
exhibit largely of the products, ores,
&c, along their lines. Altogether we
feel greatly encouraged that our State
will do herself justice in 1876.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCLUSION
and meeting at Lincoln, on Thursday
was largely attended. The Herald
should have liked to be present, and
would, had not other matters kept us
away. As we have often expressed
ourselves, we do not believe in "God
less schools" any more than some of
our Catholic friend, and while not ad
vocating Sectarian teaching in our
public schools, we do not think a lit
tle Christian teaching would come
amiss in any of them ; but the ques
tion is so surrounded with diflicuties,
and our people are so excessively jeal
ous (and justly so) of anything that
leans towards the remotest union of
Church and State, that in many places,
no attempt at any religious teachings
can be safely introduced in the free
public schools. Therefore it becomes
the duty of all true Christians and
honest religious people to make the
Sunday School. the great lever for re
ligious development in the young.
They should be made as attractive as
possible. The best minus in the
Churches should devote their attention
to this subject of teaching children re
ligious truths in the readiest way to
attract their attention, and fix these
great facts on their young minds, with
out wearying or disgusting them with
details, and hard, dry, discourses.
As has been suggested, if the preach
ing could be dispensed with, the sec
ond time on Sunday, and the time, and
care, and attention of the Minister and
the whole congregation could bo de
voted to making the Sunday School a
place of interest, pleasure and thought
ful education, we believe it would be
better.
Anything and everything, that will
aid our children to get something more
than a mere heartless and godless edu
cation in their youth.
THE EDITORIAL EXCURSIONISTS.
The editorial excursionists were met
at the depot by a large delegation of
Lincolnites accompanied by the Lin
coin Cornet Band and escorted to the
Commercial Hotel where they had re
iresnments. Alter dinner carriages
were in waiting to convey them to the
places of interest .about the city. In
the evening they met at the Oper
House, where they were welcomed, in
behalf of the citizens of Lincoln, by
Hon. T. M. Marquette, in a few well
chosen words. Mr. W. II. Michael, of
the Western Ntbras7;ian, replied in
neat little speech, thanking the citizens
of Lincoln for their kind reception.
The floor was then cleared, for danc
ing, wiucu was continued until a rea
sonable hour.
The Herald paid a visit to the hand
some little town of Weeping Water
week before last. Since we came to
Cass County it has grown from a mere
point, with a store and a mill, to the
dimensions of a very neat little Village.
Tho houses are substantial and the
yards show Xew England thought and
t-tste. It now has aspirations for the
County Seat, whether it can make the
riffle is not for the Herald to say.
One thing we do know, that Mr. Reed
took us in his buggy and showed us a
beautiful plateau for a town, and also
some as fine country off to the S. W.,
in C;tss county, as we have ever seen.
We then came round by Mr. Tewks
bury's mill and found himself and
madam well, and a great increase in
their family around then?. The mer
chants at Weeping Water are all in
good spirits, have done a good business
and never croak.
liesides the mill at W. W. Village
(Clinton & Johnson's) there is another
"mill two miles below, and a good water
power between town and that. Al
ready there are three mills within live
miles along the River. Weeping Wa
ter no doubt is destined to be a manu
facturing point of some magnitude at
no distant tlav.

Wf;st. V
5th, 187.J. )
In CAir. ?x Sec. 28, Tow
19, Range 48
August 15th
Friend Mac: Having been out
from home a little over 1 weeks, a de
scription of this part of Nebraska-may
perhaps be interesting to you.
To start from Sidney we go north
east about 18 miles over rolling prairie,
and canyons of immense capacity, to
the south boundry of our work, Town
16. A portion of the country on the
south side of the North Platte river is
good farming land, perhaps as much as
ore-third of it. Then there is about
the same proportion that Mr. Lp would
not take as a gift from the great Fath
er at Washington, while the other
is rough in the extreme, with a few
scattering scrub pines, for timber
The bottom on both sides of the riv
er is well adapted to stock grazing, and
is used for that purpose by a number
of men who have large herds of cattle,
roaming here and there over as grand
a pasture as you could possibliy mag
ine, or dream of.
The north side for about two miles
from the river, is as good btttom land
as it is on the south side. Then for
some live or six miles we find bluffs,
ravines, canyons, &c. For some J or 4
miles north of that we find what is
called a plateau, or scope of level prai
rie, the soil of which might be termed
3d rate for Nebraska, upon which we
have found a few basins of first-rate
water. Continuing north as far as
Town 20. we have nothing but short or
low sand hills, some of which are cov
ered with the shrubs called sand cher
ries, (will .show some of them on our
return) until near the north boundary,
where we arrive at a chain of lakes
and marshes, one of which is over
two miles long and averaging about H
of a mile in width, which we call
Swan Lake, for the reason that we
found quite a number of that species
of the feathered tribe, a few of which
wen captured (by the boys) with the
aid of messengers of death from the
Winchester rifles and Spencer carbines.
We have a specimen of them in the
shape of the outside covering of the
magnificent bird, which will be placed
on (the stays) exhibition in about four
weeks.
The principal game that we have
found is Elk, Deer, and Antelope.
Well, for a description of our outfit,
we will commence with McBrom, who
rides his grey steed and shoots through
the sights of one of your old time horn
comp:tsses, accompanied with a man
who tlags the line for him, another who
with his spade turns up the soil ( when
he can find any) into a huge pile, and
calls it a mound, and two others, who
drag a chain and cry stick, stuck, and
tally, one, two, three, &c.
Alexander S. has a party of men that
together with himself, do the same,
when Alex, is not atSidney.
Mr. Kuhlman is ditto, as well as I.
Then we have 4 teamsters, and two
cooks. I could it tell the names of
half of the men on one sheet of paper,
so we pass (them by).
We have fish, for a change, for sup
per, and as our mail closes in a very
few minutes, we shall also close.
Yours Truly,
W ILL.

TO ALLYf H0.H IT MAY CONCERN.
The great problem, in the minds of
many people, is this: "Shall I go west?"
and if so: "where in the great west can
I the most easily, and thoroughly make
a hotne'S"
To assist those who are endeavoring
satisfactorily to answer these questions
is the object of this article, as it has
been of the series of notes sent to the
Herald, and other papers for publi
cation, during the last twelve months.
HEALTH FULNESS OF CLIMATE
certainly should be the first on the list
of local qualifications. As to that, our
locality, (Town 5, north of range 25,
west of Cth P. M.,) certainly excels, as
there is not a practicing physician in
the county of Frontier, to my knowl
edge an experienced mid-wife supplj'
ing all professional demands. .
ri'RE WATER
is known to be a great auxiliary in pre
serving the health, and this we have
in abundance, from spring, brook, or
well. As for
OUR SOIL
the time has come that I can speak
knowingly about it. Nebraska soil is
generally conceded to be as good as the
Union affords, and during an eighteen
vears residence in this State. I have
seen none more productive than ours
Everv crop I have seen tried here, has
has eriven satisfaction, and it being of
great depth, will not soon wear out.
FRUIT
promises to do well. Several wild va'
rieties grow and thrive well.
ROCK
can be got for all or any purposes.
TIMBER
is abundant, and of good quality.
CLAIMS,
either homestead, timber, or pre-emp
tions can be taken along the water
courses; some improved places for sale
on reasonable terms.
STOCK
will perhaps prove to be the most re
munerative to the settler, as it is easily
reared, and marketed, and will live all
winter without being fed; although
in severe storms they should be taken
care of.
As for
.SOCIETY,
We have as good as could be expect
ed in a new settlement. One organiz
ed Church, and regular services, and
arrangements are being made to have
schools this winter.
In a former article to the Herald I
made an estimate of the probable yield
of coi n, oats, ic. On closer examina
tion, I am convinced that I underesti
mated it. Wheat, will I think, yield
10 to 15 bushel per acre; oats and corn
40 to GO. Mariv of the corn stalks are
10 to 12 feet high.
Some of the above may seem to be
pretty strong assertions, but I can
readily substantiate every word, by

THE MARKETS.
HOME MARKETS.
Musicians, all tlie country over, and
almost every m:n, woman ar.-.l child
throughout the West will read with
pleasure of the announcement which
comes to us of the Virtual re-establishment
of the old bouse of "Root & Cady"
as "The Root & Sons Music Co."
It calls up the strange story of the
fortunes of this famous house, reaching
far back to 1858, when Geo. F. Root,
E. Towner Root, and C. M.Cady placed
over the door of 07 Clark St., that mag
ic legend, "Root & Cady." However;
they rapidly outgrew these quarters,
and in 1805 we find them occupying the
finest Music Store in the country, in
"The Crosby Opera House," where the
great lire of 1871 swept over them.
From this calamity resulted two hous
es Geo. F. Root & Sons, and Root anp
Lewis, which now consolidated with the
publishing business of Chandler & Cur
tiss, becomes "The Root & Sons Music
Company," which may justly and proud
ly claim the successorship to the im
mense popularity of Root & Cady.
Besides this, the firm inherits tho
very valuable connections of tlie moth
er house with the European Manufac
turers, which enabled them to purchase
so favoraby in the foreign market ;and
also, the Agency for the celebrated
Steek Pianos, which won the only gold
medal of the Vienna Exposition; and
for the famous Standard Organ. Their
new location is at 150 State St., Chica
go, where they have every facility for
doing their immense business.
They send us copies of the following
pieces of their new publication of Sheet
Music: "I know a Maiden Fair to See,"
by II. R. Palmer; Lenore March, by
Oscar Mayo; Normandy Waltz, by C.
T. Root; and Prairie Belle Waltz, by F.
W. Root: "The Song Messenger," a very
sprightly Musical Monthly, published
by them, and the Album of the Chica
go Musical College, which contains a
rare collection of Vocal and Instru
mental Music.
