one of sense? If the Republican party
have been all wrong and the people
have sent the Democratic party there
to correct that wrong, (as the Democ

ANOTHER OUTLET FROM NEBRASr
KA CITY TO CHICAGO.
Please Road Carefully Business Men of

Froni the Neb City A'cir.
Laat Thursday night a large num
ber of our most prominent citizens met
at the office of T. B. Stevenson to con
sult upon a matter of vital importance
to the town and the surrounding com
munity. The meeting was called to or
der by N. S. Ilaiding and organized by
electing James Sweet President, and
F. W. Jhmann Secretary. Mr. T. B.
Stephenson addressed the meeting and
said that he had learned through semi
official channels that the Chicago and
Rock Island It. R. Co. proposed run
ning a branch line to some point in
Southern Nebraska, and that the citi
zens of Plattsmouth were endeavoring
to make that place the terminus of the
branch, and he had suggested this meet
ing to see if that project could not be
averted, and the proposed branch run
to Nebraska City. Such an outlet
would necessitate and ensure the speedy
construction of a bridge across the riv
er here.
The article goes on to say that a pool
was made by the B. &. M C. & N. R.
W. and C. 11. 1. &. P. R. It, on all through
freight to and from Omaha, which it
is claimed inured to the benefit of the
B. & M. but not to the IL I. In view
of these facts they take the gronnd
that the B. &. M. might bridgs across
here, and they propose to 6top that by
having a branch from near Atlantic
down the Nishnabotna, through Fre
mont County and cross at Neb. City.
It behooves our people to look out
for this move and check-mate it at once.
"We think the B. & M. ought to be stir
ring in the matter to, as it cannot be
to their interest to see this Neb. City
scheme carried out; ;

While the figures In this table show a general
advance In most of the elements which enter in
to our estimate of progress In our school work,
there are a few points worthy of f pedal notice :
Ffrgf The ratio of Increase in school atten
dance much exceed the ratio of incre;ise In the
enumeration, thin indicating a steadily Krowing
interest in the caue of education on the part
of officers and patrons.
Second Greater stability U shown in the fact,
that while there has been a gradual Increase in
the total number of days of school, the work
has been performed by a smaller number of
teachers, thus indicating a waning disposition
to change ; and also that a better grade of
teachers now perform the work.
Thirtf The Increase of the number of visits
by the district officers is to be noticed as an
Item which speaks largely In favor of the Inter
est manifested in the mental and moral welfare
of our children.
It has been my constant desire and endeavor
to raise the standard of qualification in teach
ers, and though much remains yet to be accom
plished in tli is behalf, the advance Is quite
manifest. The provision of the law restricting
teachers to three third-yrade certificates has
had the effect to stimulate to greater diligence
in study to prepare theuiselve to take higher
rank iu the profession. If school boards will
now exereUe their influence to dishonor certfl
cates of tills grade by making material discrim
ination in favor of the higher grades by diiter
erence In w.-.gt-s. they will de much towards a
reformation in this important feature of our
system of public instruction. There is a general
disposition to remunerate teaching talent in
proportion to its worth. Many te.achers. howev
er, complain that the compensation is too small
not In proportion to the lalnir required but
the complaint proceeds generally from those
whose services are learit valuable. The best
teaching talent when ouee known Is in no dan
ger of beim; left to rust for want of employment
at respectable wasea.
In closing inyoftieial relations with the school
ofllecrs of the county, I must bear testimony to
the general fidelity which has characterized the
performance of the duties entrusted to their
care, and to the great improvement made iu
the fulness and general accuracy of detail in all
particulars in their annual report to this of
fice. In looking back over my four ye.ars of labor In
this county there is much that would 4eeni to
have been left undone, ywt the present status
of the school interests, compared with that of
four years ago, is a Source of genuine satisfac
tion, and gives earnest of a very substantial and
gratifying progress for the future. The interest
which now pervades the public mind on the
subject of education rests non a firm l;isis,and
ail that is necessary for its continuance and in
crease is faithful, intelligent, and energetic ad
ministration of tho system uow in operation in
the State.
We gladly publish the above state
ments from Prof. Wise, and desire to
say that his services in the county in
capacity of Superintendent, will not
soon be forgotten. He took charge of
our schools on the eve of an entire
change of programme in the school
system of the State, and has organized
and systemized the work from chaos.
The exhibit above shows great increase
in the per cen. of attendance from '71
to '75, as well as a remarkable increase
in school houses and number of school
days each year.

TIIE LEAP YEAR PARTI
On the 27th was a very lively affair.
The youth, wealth, and beauty of Platts
mouth appeared upon the floor. The
ladies never looked lovelier, and gentle
men arrayed in all the glory of wom.in
hood meekly jiccepted their fate and
thanked their pnrtners as modestly as
any other man. The lady floor mana
gers with red ribbons on their shoul
ders bossed things about lively and
made the band think there was music
in the air, or should be. The supper at
Mr. Stadelmann's was xcellent and
well served, every one was satisfied.
The net proceeds after paying Hall
rent, band and everything, must have
been most gratifying to the dear ladies
who took so much pains to get the
thing up, and to the parson who gets
the money. They amounted to S73.S5.
The court was seated on a
rained dais at one end of the room, with
the Dist. Attorney on his right, and
the Sheriff and assisting bailiffs on the
left all with their instruments of of
fice in their hands. Th8 members of
the bar were spread out at their feet
and the dance commenced.
A tajl woman with her hair friccas
aeed on one side shouted "all set," his
honor said "let 'em slide Mart" and the
crier announced that the case wbs ready
for trial and the witnesses on the floor.
The first bailiff called the figure and
the Dist. Attorney was getting up the
papers for a new quadrille when the
court decided that "whosoever dances
shall pay the fiddler."
Everything went merry as a mar
riage bell until Sam Chapman got tang
led up in a case with two opposition
attorneys, an ex-sheriff, and the other
ladies on the floor.
"Swing her to the right" shouted the
crier "Double up on your left' ehassez
round the side couple's attorney, tile a
statement on the lady on the corner,
make a motion to quash the opposite
gent, and return to places."
That was more than Sam could
stand. In a pause of the music he ar
gued the case thusly: "Your Honor, I
object; one motion at a time is as
much as any court can entertain, and I
desire to take exceptions to this mode
of cross-examination right here ; I am
willing to give my right hand to my
partner and swing out with my left; I
have no objection to quash the oppo
site attorney if possible, but when the
court orders a fellow to try three cases
at once, that is swinging three ladies
in four different directions at one call,
without being allowed to increase my
fees correspondingly, I object to going
on with the suit.
"Ballance all!" shouted the crier, and
the court ordered "on with the dancr."
"Yes, I'll ballance it all with my
bill" growled .Sam. as he cut a pigeon
wing that Glad a cross-bill on the right
hand lady's new calico panier.
Things moved on pretty well until
Smith, another lawyar, struck a stump.
He was arguing that a double schot
tische without any extra levy general
ly came up on demurrer when the head
fiddler ordered a change of venue and
turned the suit into a waltz. This ril
ed George and he asked time to put in
an answer. The court musician said he
was out of time all the time and could
not dance to the first rule laid down in
Greenleafs evidence. George got out
an injunction but before he could find
a deputy to serve the warrant the band
struck up a lively tune and the whole,
assembly formed in lints lengthwise of
the Hall and danced an old fashioned
Virginia Reel with such vim and evi
dent relish that he allowed a motion
to adjourn to be run in on him una
wares, and so ended the great Leap
Year party of 1876.
The Herald feels very much exercised over
the above report, and has had grave doubts
about allowing it to appear at all. but as we paid
for it we hate to lose our money and so put it iu.
The facts are that knowing the leap year par
ty would be a big aflair, and also that Court be
ing in session we should be very busy we tele
graphed to Omaha for a patent short hand re
porter to do things p brown, ffe came down
on the train and we sent him to the Court Room
where, unfortunately, the case of Clements vs
Spurgeon was being tried. He became fully im
pregnated with the merits of the Court and. this
case, and then went down to Ben llempel's for
upper. After supper he took a glass of beer
with Ken and started up street to the Leap Year
party ; not liking to patronize one German and
slight another he stepped into Fr. Guthmann's,
when he came down he thought he wouldn't
overlook the Irish element and so dropped Into
Mike Mngttlrc's, andwhen he came up;t he street
lie didn't like to leave the Trench out in the cold
so went in to see Ed. Iloscnbaum. From the
same friendly feeling ho had to see O. Shafer
and Cap LenhofT, then he must go over to Met
teers because ho was the only Republican in
the business, and after that to Eilly Neville's
because Billy was a v ood-butcher and the Re
porter was a word-butcher, and leaving Billy he
started up the Hall stairs, but finally thought it
wouldn't do to leave the Americans out, and so
went over to se e Am. Lazcuby because he was a
full blooded American. At last he reached the
Hall where Marshal Murphy was putting In the
final touches.
The Marshal saw how It was, but thought as
the power of absorption In newspaper men was
great he would come out all right, so he just
took him by the neck of his big Ulster over
coat, and hung him up on a big book jut Inside
the wings of the stage where he could see every
thing aud told him to "report away." The fact
Is the report Is really ail right from his position ;
it is only given as the thing looked to a man up
a tree, or else benzine and b court trials don't
mix well.
