DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL.
THE REFORM SCHOOL.
filCUARDS AND 0LITC
The Reagan Bill, fcte.
Lincoln, Jaa'y 22, 1879.
This is a very busy week in Lincoln,
we assure you. lesteraay the State
Board of Agriculture held its annual
meeting. The Nebraska Press Asso
ciation, and a dozen other orders and
meetings were arranged for the eveu-
ng-
OUR BOTS
n the big house up on the rise seem
lealthy and happy, and sanguine they
are going to win and earn the undying
gratitude of. their constituents, now
and hereafter; that is, provided the
"constits" look at things through the
same glasses they do.
By the way, none of our delegation
will look at things through the bottom
of a whiskey or beer glass you may
rest assured, though how they may
stand on the question of absolute pro
hibition! do not know.
Yesterday ten different members of
fered petitions asking for a prohibitory
aw, with names from 12 to 3,000.
Mr. Polk is one of the committee to
whom such petitions have been refer
red. Mr. Stone offered a bill to require
countv treasurers to make quarterly
statements of the financial condition
of the ceunty. I think much of this
legislation is already covered by the
Committee on Revision.
The order in that matter is,
howev
rnatters er, that all new bills touching
which the Revision Committee have
or will report on shall, after the sec
ond reading, be referred to the joint
committee, to harmonize with the re
vision. If it then suits the members,
it is incorporated in said revision; if
not it passes to its third reading and
becomes a law or is killed.
APPROPRIATIONS".
There is one thing this Legislature
will have to watch sharp, and that is
appropriations. It is true that better
times are here; business is reviving
and all that, but this very feeling gives
rise to a thousand schemes, plana and
improvements, all good enough la their
place, perhaps, but if all are presided
for this session the members will want
te move over into lew a for a spell af
ter the jubilee is over.
state prison.
I went there yesterday, took tha!
coat, too, and they let me out. Some
more of the boys went. The prison
was full inside and out. It looked like
a country meet in house around the
door, so many carriages." The facts
are that Richards and Olive are great
curiosities, and there is a crowd of vis
iters daily to see them. Almost ev
ery one is disappointed in Richards,
lie looks so smiling and just like a
great overgrown boy. lie is t very
powerful man though, and Warden
Nobes says would be more than a
match for any one man lu the prison
in a fair shake.
Olive is a heavy-set, dark, bright
eyed man, who peers out from bis
cell with an uneasy air at the vis
itors that crowd around. Not being a
convict that is, only placed there for
safe-keeping his cell is not marked,
as the regular convicts are, and casual
visitors would pass him unknown.
The report on the State Treasurer
that is the late one has been venti
lated and the old question of what to
do with tie funds comes up with the
usual scare-crow brigade of argu
ments pro and con. If the' Treasurer
leaves the money in the State vault it
is almost sure to be stolen and the
State the loser. If he loans it out to
banks he runs some risk, and there are
always some fellows that are afraid
he'll make something out of it, and
well, I guess I won't be State Treasur
er. I don't have any such trouble with
the Herald fund, although Andy
McLaughlin does look wild, sometimes,
when I come down there with a huge
roll of half dollars and nickels, and
want to deposit them. It fills up the
safe so, you know.
THE CAPITOL APPROPRIATION
Is being buzzed 'round low down, but
really stands in statu quo, waiting for
the interminable revision business to
be pushed along. It really looks more
favorable, though, for a fair appropri
ation to put the present capitol in
shape.
OUR REFORM SCHOOL
Bill of course lingers in Committee.
Mr. Windham thinks its chancti are
favorable. We would like to remind
our News friend (correspondent) that
he n ust not be so enappish about
Plattsmouth getting that little aonae
built, nor grab at quite so much for
Omaha. Please to remember that
Douglas Co. may need the help of Cass
yet on her own matters, and it is no
crime for Cass CeuRty to ask to haye
the reform school located there.
RAILROAD RACKET.
Nothing has been heard of the reso
lution about the Reagan bill yet. I
have read the bill, and most certainly
think Nebraska cannot afford to en
dorse it. not on behalf of her railroads,
so much as in the interest of the farm
er and shipper.
Section 4 can mean nothing else but
that the same price per mile shall be
charged for short carriage as for long,
and it would virtually shut us out
from the seaboard market entirely.
If, further, it is true as stated, that
Mr. Reagan when apiealed to, to ex
plain the bill, said that it was to pie
vent the endless quarrels between ri
val railroads, &c it was introduced
for their benefit and not ours.
In regard to State regulation of
rr.tes, the railroads acknowledge the
State has the right to regulate these
fares; having that power, we can af
ford to wait until it is absolutely
necessary to use it. We are building
new roads constantly which the state
needs just now very much. Unfavor
able legislation would stop all railroad
building and the consequent inflow of
money from the east here. I have en
deavoured to present both sides of the
question as generally talked; it is a
matter we can afford to tro slow on. of
;-t. I : -.:.. II :..
The Red Bluff Sentinel gets off the
following, in which there is both truth
and poetry :
Oh. how happy are they
Who the printer do pay.
And hare squared up for one year more I

The great Joy of the press.

The Journal makes a good point on
the absurdity of Eastern papers head
ing their items about the Ketchum
Mitcbell or the Richards' murder, with
the " Nebraska Fiends," &c. Richards
came from Ohio, scarcely gained a
right to a residence here, and left for
Ohio again when he had murdered a
number of Nebraskians. The Olive
crowd are from Texas, temporarily
herding their cattle on the Govern-
meat lands in Nebraska.
The Journal suggests that Ohio and
Texas keep their "fiends" at home af
ter this if they don't want 'em huag.
TnE Omaha Bee comes to hand with
a fine eight-pagj supplement contain
ing an annual review of the progress
ot the city of Omaha, and embellished
with excellent engravings of her finest
buildings, comprising Crcighton Col
lege, the hik'h school, the various
churches, the custom house and post-
office, and numerous others, both pub
lic and private. The birds-eye view of
the city does not equal the other en
gravings in point of excellence, being
indistinct, and giving the beholder an
idea that the city is built upon an al
most perfectly level plain, but taken
as a whole, the engravings are of su
perior excellence, aud the supplement
altogether is very complete, and a fine
specimen of business enterprise and
energy.
With commendable energy, and not
dajntcd by the partial success of his
first attempt, Prof. Love has instituted
a series of lectures from men of abili
ty in the state and out, for the benefit
of our High School. The second and
tnird of this series will be given at the
High School Hall, Friday and Satur
day evenings aid we hope our citizens
will show their appreciation of these
lectures and the benefits which will
accrue from them to themselves and
their children, and the town, by com
ing out in full force to hear them.
Don't leave the duty for some ono else
to fill, but go yourself and make one
of a crowd to show that Plattsmouth
appreciates something higher than a
minstrel show, and above all appreci
ates and helps along all efforts to edu
cate her children.
The Nebraska Editorial association
met at the Commercial Hotel, Lincoln,
on the 21st inst.
Many of the changes which the news
paper men in behalf of the people
thought ought to be made a part of the
laws of the state, having been incor
porated by the Revision committee,
no further action was deemed necessa
ry on them. The evening session was
occupied by a discussion of various
masters important to the press, among
which were the subjectof foreign ad
vertising, and the system of sterotype
plates vs. patent outsides, which were
brought up by Mr. J. A. MacMurphy
and continued over to the morning
session. The officers elected for the
ensuing year were President, Thomas
Wolfe ; Vice-President, A. D. Williams ;
Secretary, II. M. Wells; Treasurer, J.
C. McBride. Mr. Gere, of the Journal
was elected orator for the ensuing
year. The executive committee were
instructed to have a hall ready for the
next regular meeting, and an address
and poem will be a part of the exercis
es. Special Announcement.

Improved Domestic Economy.
The Princess Louisa received an ad
dress from a deputation of the Ladies
Educational Association of Montreal,
and they got from her a very sensible
reply. But what will the operators of
our fashionable girls' school and of our
female colleges and normal schools say
to the closing observation of this royal
and court-bred lady, which was as fol
lows: "May I venture to suggest the
importance of giving special attention
to the subject of domestic economy,
which properly lies at the root of th
highest life of every true woman?"
This is a momentous truth; none the
more true, of course, because uttered
by a princess, but perhaps some will
be induced to reflect upon it on account
of the distinguished source from which
it comes. For if what the princess here
says is correct, our schools for the edu
cation of women are very far from
what they should be. Domestic econ
omy, in its full significance as a found
ation of the highest life of woman
happens to be just the one particular
thing which our female boarding
schools, colleges, and normal schools
systematically avoid. They learn lan
guages, and history and algebra, and
music, and many other fashionable
things but the science of domestic life
and the art of home-making find no
place in the feminine scheme of studiep.
Here ard there a little attention is
paid to it but it nowhere has the rank
and importance which is rightfully its
due. and which this most sensible
princess claims for it. Prof. Yor-

Washington Correspondence.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 1 1879.
The re-assembling of Congress after
the Christmas holidays has been one
of the most interesting features of the
present week in Washington. Al
though very few members went home,
most of them spent their vacation out
of the city.
The Nebraska delegation proved no
exception. Senator Paddock, having
been appointed on the Blaine investi
gating committee, spent the greater
part of last week in New Orleans, but
returns in excellent health, looking
even handsomer than ever. Senator
Saunders made a flying visit up the
Hudson to see his children, who are at
tending school in New York. Ever
mindful of the interests of his constit
uency his absence from the post ef
duty was short.
While we deeply deplore the loss our
.State sustained in the death of the
non. Frank Welch, we can but feel
proud that our Interests are so credit
ably represented in the House by Mr.
Majors.
Nebraskans may well be proud of
their representatives in Congress who
are ever alive to the interests of our
infant State.
The annual meeting of the Woman's
Suffrage Convention has just closed,
after a three days' f ession of unusual
interest. The meetincs were well at
tended by the more intelligent class
of men and women; and this question
is fast becoming an object of the deep
est interest and sympathy. Represen
tatives from all parts of the United
States were in attendance. Among
the more prominent were Mrs. Stau
ton, Susan B. Anthony, Belva A. Lock
wood, a practicing attorney in the dis
trict courts, and many others. Mrs.
Stanton has that rare, sweet beauty,
grace of manner and personal attrac
tion so seldom seen combined. Her
hair is white as snow and sligntly
waving, soft brown eye3 of gentle
firmness, rather prominent features,
and inclined to bo stout. She has a
face that attracts irresistibly, ono that
children love instinctively. Her com
mand of language and manner of de
livery are faultless. . She holds her au
dience in. perfect control with her rea
soning, which is logical, clear and
spontaneous; her fund of wit and bu
rner is inexhaustible; her sarcasm
stinirintr, and everv arrow well aimed.
With all she appears a model wife and
mother; speaks lovingly of her daugh
ter, who has just graduated from as
sar, and is to work for the cause so no
bly advocated by her mother.
All the members are intelligent, re
fined and ladylike, with few of the
popular peculiarities supposed to be
synonymous with woman's suffrage.
Susan B. Anihony although unattract
ive in appearance, is a very fine speak
er and a noble, grand woman.

CORRESPOX DENCE.
From Eight Mile Grove.
Ed. Herald: With pleasure I read
your article in your last issue in re
gard to the printing matter of PuVilic
affairs and the Republican Party. Be
ing a Republican, I have often thought
you did not give us as Btrong a party
paper as you should do, but consider
ing everything connected with our af
fairs, I find that the party itself should
manifest a greater interest in its Edi
tor and county paper than heretofore;
an Editor can get along better without
a party, than a party without the Edi
itor, which fact has been witnessed by
a great many of us.
Public business should be done pub
licly, all county matters should be pub
lished in some County Newspaper, and
the party in power, its officers and in
fact every tax payers' interest requires
it to be published; every tax payer
should know what is done with the
taxes, how, when and where they are
used; and if our Commissioners will
do what is just and right in the sight
of the taxpayers they will cause all
county matters to be itemized and
published. More Anon.

A Few Words to Lncile from Weeping
Water.
I want to say to my friend Lucile,
that you are having things too much
your own way, and the light in which
you place our town before the readers
of the Herald, needs some defense.
You cast insinuations on everyting
that is not up to your standard of per
fection, but never suggest any remedy
for the correction of exiitmg evils.
You represent our schools a being in
a most woeful condition, but I defy
anyone to tell ; from your articles
whether there is blame resting with
the district, with the school board or
the teachers, or in fact to tell what it
is that is wrong. I agree with you,
however, that the condition of the
school is not what it ought to be, but
it is well known that at the last au-
1 ! t
-l
t titt
in
Eli Plummcr.
Die them to place the school in a bet
ter condition, but which was succes
fully opposed by one or two leading
citizens. The result is that the direc
tors have been compelled to barely
keep up the semblance of a school, or
run the district into debt, and I think,
under the circumstances, the former
course, the one they .adopted, the
wiser.
Now suppose you corao out and sug
gest something tangible for the dis
trict to work upon at its next annual
meeting, that will give us such a
school as we ought to have.
The readers of the Herald must
get the idea from your articles that the
members of the Congregational Church
are a very poor class of citizens, with
out much intelligence or enterprise,
and that that institution is also in a
deplorable condition. The Red Rib
bon club also comes in for its share of
being represented as a "weakly" and
i worthless inrtitution.
Now iu connection with this the re
mark is appropriately made by Rev.
Mr. Ross who was with us about two
months, an eastern man, a man with
no second rate capacity for judging
that all the way from here to Boston
there is not a community that com
bines so much intelligence, enterprise,
refinement and good order as the town
of Weeping Water. Besides, some of
your sayings seem, to a middle aged
lady like myself, exceedingly thin, but

A physician at Tliorm-oinbe, in Dorset
shire, England, was recently called to at
tend 60!iie nialiyiiiint cases of dipthcria
which had broken out on a hrgo dnny
larru. lie began by u.-ing tlic UMial caus
tic and astringent prcpai ntions of iron;
but one morning ufter two cases out of
nine hail proved already fatal from chok
ing, the mother handed him uu extinct
from an American paper telling of the
rise of eulphur as the most potent remedy
to resist tiic fungoid growth. He imme
diately gave his patients a liquid prepara
tion of sulphur and glycerine, directing
them to take several sjMHmsfid a day and
apply a little to the nostiilswith asponge.
The remedy proved efficacious, and the
doctor says he has never since then loht a
case in which he has employed it.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice, li.iv
Iiijj had placed in hin hands ly an East India
inixHionary the formula of a very simple vege
table remedy, for the tpeedy and periiuuieiit
cure for consumption, bninrluti". catarrh, asth
ma, and all throat and lunt; affection, also a
positive and radical cure for nervous debility
and all nervous complaints, after having tested
its wonderful curative powers in thousand of
cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive,
and a desire to relieve human suffering. I will
send, free of charue, to all who desire it, this
recipe, with full directions for preparing and
using, in Ormnn. French, or English. Xoiit by
mail, addressing with stamp, naming this paper,
