We were creditably informed that
the B. & M. R. R. Co, did reduce their
rates on corn and grain on account of
its low price in Chicago and if it is not
a fact as our Eight Mile Grovo corres
pondent seems to intimate, wo shall

A Spavish Obituary. One of the
Spanish provincial papers publishes a
singular notice in its obituary. It
says: "This morning our Savior sum
moned away the jeweler, Siebald 111
raaga. from his 6hop to another and
better world. The undersigned, his
widow, will weep upon his tomb, as
will also his two daughters, Hilda and
Emma, the former of whom is married
and the latter is open to an offer. The
funeral will take place tomorrow. His
disconsolate widow,
Veroniqcr Ilkkaga.
P. S. This bereavement will not
interrupt our business, which will be
carried on as usual, only our place of
business will be removed from 3 Tessi
des Teinturies to 4 Rue de Mission
aire, as our grasping landlord has rais
ed the rent."
The daughter of Hon. A. J. Fopple
ton of Omaha, Miss Libbie Foppleton
who has occupied for a year past a po
sition as professor of rhetoric and elo
cution at Vaasar College, delivered the
second lecture in the Lyceum course,
at l'oughkeepsie, X. Y., the seat of the
college, on the 29th ult. Her subject
Was "Thomas Carlyle," The D.tily
Argus, of Poughkeepsie, says, "her ad
dress is characterized as emphatically
tire utterance of a cultivated and ear
nest woman the speech of one who
would educate the men and women of
tho present by means of the best and
truest experiences of the past.
Mistress of her subject. Miss Popple
ton was no less so of herself. In a
manner that was polished and trained
to tho perftct control of the entire de
livery, her own well-remembered pe
culiarities were perfectly evident."
We remember Miss Toppleton some
years ago as a faithful and brilliant
student, foreshadowing even then the
elevated position she would take
among the cultivated women of the
country.
There has been quite a little rail
road racket out at Red Cloud. Mr.
Fitzgerald's men got on a strike, want
ed to be fashionable, like their eastern
neighbors.
Wm. Stadelman, who arrived at Red
Cloud on Monday evening, writes: "I
was too late to get the 'bus going up
town and had to foot it about a mile
and carry my carpet sack and a pair
of blankets. After walking a quarter
f overtook James O'Neil. We had not
gone more than 200 yards when we
met squads of men coming from town,
one of which surrounded Us and order
ed a 'halt.' They had guns and revolvers
which they handled very carelessly. I
told the leader we were homesteaders
going home. They said it is all right
so long as you are not Railroad men.
Coming up town wo found the track
layers had struck and had a big fight,
broke up one saloon, nearly killed one
man. and wounded several others.
Hurrah for the fiontier."
Mr. Yajtoerbilt has been trying to
find out which is the fastest horse he
owns. Saturday afternoon last he went
out on the road behind Leander, while
Wm. McGuigan took his seat behind
Lysander. After several brushes. It
was decided that the two were pretty
evenly matched. Tuesday afternoon
Mr. Vanderbilt drove Small Hopes
and Capt. Jack against Lysander, and
Leander, the latter team piloted by Mc
Guigan. and again the contest was de
clared a draw. Both are good teams.
The observing road-riders unhesitat
ingly pronounce Small nopes the fast
est horse in Mr. Vanderbilt's stable.
If Small Hopes is re-instated he may
be seen on the turf next year. T. F.

How are you, Lothair?
Tns B. & M. It. R. seem to be bound
to give our farmers a chance this year,
as witness the following:
"The Burlington and Missouri river
railroad of Nebraska on Thursday
made a second material reduction in
grain rates to Chicago an aggregate
reduction in two months seven
cents per bushel on wheat, and five
cents on corn. The following are the
rates : Lincoln to Chicago wheat, flax,
rye and barley. SO cents per 100; corn
and oats, 28 cents. TheBe very low
rates are made on account of the de
pressed condition of eastern markets.
and to allow dealers to pay a fair price
to the farmers for their grain. State

Publishing Co. Commissioners' Pro
ceedings, Ac
A friend and tax-paj-er writes us
he hopes this Legislature will pro
vide for having county commission
crs proceedings published in full at
reasonable compensation to the print
ers. The newspaper boys are looking
after that and some other little mat
ters. We. don't proiose all the law
yers in the country shall go to the
legislature hereafter and make laws
to suit themselves and to protect their
interests, and leave the newspapers
and the people out in the cold. That
business is played out.
Martha Williams a colored woman
who knew of the murderers of" Apple
Charley" at Neb. City squealed and
they arrested the murderers.
She says. The colored men arrested,
Jackson. Palmer, Givens and Martin,
are the ones who did the work. That
they borrowed the " Gum Shoes" from
her and wore them away at 12 o'clock
at night, and did not bring them back
until the next morning. "If her story
is true the horrible crime is firmly fas
tened upon tho colored men under ar
rest." It is true they are all bad.
worthless fellows, but j-et her story
may lack truthfulness as well as thick
ness.
JUDOE LTKCH HOLDS COTJRT AT NEB.
CITY.
Since writing the above we learn
that the two negroes, Henry Jackson
and Henry Martin, were taken from
the sheriff and hung to a tree just out
side the city sometime during Tuesday
morning. The general verdict of the
people is "served them right." The
negro Givens was sentenced to the
penitentiary for 5 years on another
count besides this one; he having
squealed on his comrades. Judge Gas-
Iin let him off on the Apple Charley
case, but Geo. Smith, dist. Att'y. had
him re-arrested and sentenced.
The negro Jackson used to work
here for Wm. Gilmour and Elam
Paruaele, and was apparently a quiet,
peaceable boy then.
From the Lincoln Journal we learn
that a young man in the employ of the
B. & M. R, R. was killed near Hastings,
on Monday morning. It says:
The name of the unfortunate young
man is Gardiner Keneval. a brakesman
on the road. He was stepping from
one car to another, while the train was
in motion, lost his footing and fell be
tween the cars, the wheels of which
passed over his breast, severing the
body in two. The deceased was about
twenty-one years ot age. Tfcereniaing
will be buried at Kearney to-day. No
one is to" bjame for theawideut-.-
Geo, Smith returned from Neb. City
Tuesday afternoon, where he has been
prosecuting criminals all the week. He
says he saw the bodies of the two ne
groes hung there dangling from a limb
as h rode out of town. This is
George's last term of court, and the
grand jury and attorneys all give him
a very complimentary send oil to civil
business. Some of the good things
they say we shall publish next week.
The Graphic has a picture of Grant
refusing the Bulgarian crown. The
refusal is made because of circumstan
ces over which the General has no con
trol. Some idea of the circumstances
may be had. perhaps from the back
ground of the picture, wherein appear
a good many persons, shouting and
swinging their hats for Grant, and car
rying transparencies and banners mark
ed "Grant," "Third Term." "1880
For President, U. S. Grant," etc, etc.
We call the attention of the New York
Sun to this elegant picture. It cannot
fail to please anybody who inspects it
with care. Buffalo Lxpress.
CORRESPONDENCE.
From Eight Mile Grove.
Ed. Herald: The weather being
fine this fall the most of the farmers
in this neighborhood are through husk
ing corn, and would rejoice over it if
corn would bring 25 cents a bushel, or
even if the B. tfr M. It. R. Co. would re
duce the freight 5 cents per hundred
on grain from Plattsmouth, Neb to
Chicago, Ills., as you suggested in your
columns some time since.
The present month will close the
official career of Commissioner Ram
sey, and we hope that the next board
of commissioners will not follow the
example of the present one. but allow
the printers living rates for publish
ing their proceedings, as we are all in
terested, and pay taxes alike, and
would like to know what is done at
home and in the precincts.
More Anon.
Our correspondent makes some re
marks on the midwife question, which
we presume are all correct enough, and
it is a question the Legislature may
take up this winter, but at present we
should like to be better informed be-
formed before publishing criticisms on
individuals. Come again, however,
'More Anon" you are welcome all the
same. Ed.
Weeplng Water Notes.
The aggregate amount of confidence
which Weeping Water reposes in her
city council is much greater than it
was a few months ago. Tho fact is.
our present council has done remark
ably well. Every dollar entrusted to
them has been judiciously expended
in some improvement ia town. It Is
worthy of note that the present coun
cil do not pay themselves for attending
council meetings, as did their prede
cessors.
Last week's Herald referred to our
schools as having closed on Wednes
day. This was a mistake; the schools
closed Friday. Nov. 29th. We are now
having a vacation. We do not know
how long this vacation may last or
whom we shall have for our next
teachers.
A pound festival is to be held this
evening, at the M. E. church, for the
benefit of the Sunday school.
E. Wentworth has moved to Kansas.
Archie Hawley went with him.
Weeping Water has- long been noted
for the number of ladies' societies of
various kinds which nourish here.
For a change the gentlemen have late
ly organized a male singing club. A
large number have joined.
There is a steep place in the side
walk by Dan Johnson's house. People
passing town there in icy weather must
be careful and not get on their ear.
Miss Carrie Logan, who has been
teaching the primary department of
our school for some time, returns to
Peru soon, to pursue her studies.
