We call attention to the article on
Court Reporters which should have
appeared last week.
By the Farmer we see that th cost
( wintering horses in the middle
States ranges from $30 to 843; in Ne
fcraska, $13. "Wintering milch cows in
tho east, $23 to $29 ; here, $7. Let the
hoppers come, we'll laise cattle and
horses.
The Pilot suggests that each candi
aat for the U. S. S. pay an entrance
fee which shall go to the state and help
us out in case we haTe a grasshopper

"We guess some of them hava paid an
entrance and got a quittance fee, too,
hj this time.
Several members of the Legislature
started from Omaha on Monday after
noon Tia the B. & if. for Lincoln, and
were snowed in until noon of the next
day at Greenwood. Their principal
amusement was telegraphing their
votes up to Lincoln, but these votes
did not succeed in electing a U. S. Sen
ator before the train got out.
Mr. A. "W . Carey, Belmont, Cass Co.,
Xeb., complains that he does not get
his Herald regularly, sometimes re
ceiving three or four at a time. We
call attention of P. M. or Mail agents
to this fact. The paper laves this
office regularly, and we can't afford to
lose subscribers through tha careless
ness of those who handle mails.
Senator Paddock has introduced a
bill to protect the Levee on the Mis
Eouri River at riattsmouth, Brown
ville and other points. Good, Mr. Sen
ator, our Levees need it, and then our
people may need work next spring if
the hoppers eat up all our young cab
bage. Push that through and oblige
jours truly, people of Neb.
BLACK HILLS.
The first Quartz Mill to enter the
hills was from Nebraska, and belongs
to the Pinney Bros. It cost $15,000,
$5,000 for transportaion, and tumbled
from the wagon into the Cheyenne
river while beinjj taken across, entail
ing great labor to recover it. There is
a fortune iu that mill if there is money
in anything, for the great need of the
several mining districts is machinery
to refluce the ore.
Two of the reasons given why orders
not to use water at the Ashtabula dis
aster might have been issued are that
if passengers are killed outright the
amount of damages which can be legal
ly recovered is fixed by statute in Ohio
at $5,000. but if only wounded there is
no fixed limit to the sum thev may re
cover; second, if cars are burned the
Insurance companies are liable for the
loss, but if broken to pieces they are
not.
It does not seem possible, however,
that any set of men could be so brutal
as to order no water thrown for the
above reasons.
We call the attention of our Cass
County delegation at Lincoln to the
importance of a revision of our laws
in regard to assessing and collecting
taxes. We jnsist that the only true
way is tb"re'Uy, honestly assess all
kinds of property at its true va'ue;
money, stock, or real estate, and that
the assessor is joint judgo with the as
sessed in such valuation. The tax to
be collected should be based on this
valuation or on an equal per cent. Of
the. true valuation, but alike for all.
Nothing else will cure the present
troubles, and we call attention now
because there will be ditliculty in col
lecting next year's taxes at best, but if
the people see some remedy in the fu
ture they jny pay up now.
A penalty must be attached to the
lack of duty on the part of the Asses
sor for one thing. Try your wits ou
this, Mr. Sam.
It seems to be thought smart and a
sign of. independence by many to carp
and find fault with all our public men
&nd especially for the home county pa
per to nag and growl at the represent
atives of their county in the Legisla
ture. No two persons always think
alike, and we expect there will be many
points in which the Hebalp will not
agree altogether with the action of
some of our members, but we do not
think it advisable to abuse them, or
call them names in consequence there
of, aor yet to accuse them ef incompe
tency. On the contrary, we expect to
uphold their hands and help to make
them strong and influential at Lincoln
on all matters of public interest, point
ing out manfully and fearlessly where
in vrfl disagree should siich time come,
as we have a right to d,: We never
desire to pull down, but rather to build
up their strength and the strength of
the county, just so long as they act
from conscientious and honorable mo
tives, no matter whether we think their
way jmt the best way or not. .

THE B. & M. CONSPIRACY.
The exposure was made by Flanigan,
late private secretary of Superintend
ent Irving. He approached Adams,
Hitchcock's private secretary, through
one Sloan, clerk of the St. Charles ho
tel.Omaha, who wrote to Adams that
information of great value would be
placed in his hands, terms cash. In
terviews were had January 12th and
13th, and Flanigan placed in Adams
hands various B. & M. original docu
ments, and copies from Irving's press
book.
Flanagan, in a sworn statement, re
lates the entire history of the compa
ny's corrupt use of money and men to
influence the senatorial election ; chief
of these is the original of the follow
ing letter:
Burlington, Ia Dec. 23, 1876.
T. M. Marquett: I have to day seen
Mr. Irving and have arranged with him
for all drafts drawn by yourself and
Messrs Saunderson and Banks to be
honored. We can aff ord to win this
time.
(Signed) C. E. Perkins.
The original bears (the endorsement
of W. Irving in the left hand corner,
and T. M. 11. in the right hand corner.
Flannigan also gave the key to Per
kins' and Irvings telegraphic vocabu
lary, in which Saunderson means Saun
ders, Banks means Briggs, and J.
Thompson J. C. Cowin.
He swears to the corrupt use of mon
ey by the B. & M.. and instances the
sending of SI, 000 in money to Cass
county under Irving's directions to se
cure Livingston's election and the pay
ment of his expenses. Also Rosewater
was to receive $250 for past services
and $100 per month from Nov. 1st for
six months to support the plicy and
candidates of that road. The Lincoln

COURT REPORTERS.
A great deal of fault has been found
with our present law relative to the
employment of reporters to take testi
mony in the courts The system has
been in practice in the eastern states
for many years and is found to be of
immense advantage in preserving oral
testimony which otherwise could not
be preserved, and in shortening the
terms of court and thereby reducing
court expenses about one half. In or
der to secuie these advantages court
reporters must be paid a fair compen
sation for their services, which are of
the most arduous and exacting charac
ter, requiring years of experience and
great professional skill. In nearly ev-
ery state where tLe7 are employed re-
porters receive ciu per uay lor laKing
testimony, Luc in Nebraska they get
but $" a day and are paid in depreciat
ed county warrants. A bill to regulate
this matter, and pay them more in pro
portion to the character of their servi
ces and the benefits accruing to the tax
payers therefrom is now before tho
Legislature and should receive careful
consideration. X. X.

Conservative and one Pole. Sec
ond ballots will be necessary in twenty
two electoral districts, in thirteen of
which Socialist Deniocra s. although
in a minority, throw a heavy vote.

Red Cloud, where he will remain for

in the successful working of the p'.an
of enlistment of friendly Sioux " as

found in the fact that in the last cam
paign against the Cheyennes. wherein
the Snakes and Pawnees had followed
their circular trail for several days,
the Sioux darted out in a direct line
and struck the village at once, the sur
prise proving so complete that many
Cheyennes fled without even a mocca
sin on foot, with the thermometer sev

have perished.

The present break-up of ice in the

It is a vegetable preparation, as effective as

Koyston. Indiana, ays of It :
Slli: I have tried the Castoria. and can
speak highly of its merits. It will, I think, do
away entirely wuh Castor Oil. It is pleasant
aud harmless, mid is wonderfully efilcfcciotis as
an aperient and laxative. It is tho rvry thing.
The Castoria dostrovs worms, regulates the
Stoinach.oures Wind Colie.and permits of natu
