democratic fnud.-i, a d as a re-clt. Iih
was defe Ue l lp.t week for a renomira
tion. It will not do for the only that
fathers Tammny to hav.- a man in olhYe
that asks quest ions, or looks discouraging
upon democratic fraud.
In fourteen congressional districts, in
the south, where the frauds were opes
and notorious, ' fourteen democratic
congressmen who were trying to hold
office secured in this manner have by
congress been relegated to the quiet
shades of private life, mi l fourteen re
publicans wall have the name and salary,
while the heartless unpatriotic usurpers
have held the office. It is not enough
that they should be thrown out at the
end of the term, they should be followed
up aud sent to the penitentiary as a
lesson to the wholesale abettors of fraud
throughout the South.
A Glorious occupation has this man
Bryan, that of proving to contented
industrious f aimers that they are being
robbed, and in a life tfrne they had 'not
discovered it. To make men believe
they are poyerty strieken and miserable is
neeessary to get votes for Mr. Bryan and
it is votes he wants at any cost. Let the
tears of discontent chase away the smiles
of prosperity, banisn happiness on the
farm and in the workshop, that a demo
cratic blathers-kit ' may be elected to con
gress. Tiie Brazilian law makers have been
watching the scenes at Washington dur
ing late sessions of congress and have
found many valuable suggestions for
their constitution. Iu that document
two houses are provided for, correspond
ing to our senate and house, and it is ex
plicitly stated that "the rules of the two
chambers will establish means f jr com
pelling absent members to appear."
"They recognize down there that majority
rule is almost impossible unless this pow-
. . . . . i 1 . V.

is given. Ana ine peujj.e ui
United States will show at the coming
elections that they recognize the same
fact. Ex.
Recent statistics show that, in twenty
one of the leading counties of Kansas,
5896 mortgages, representing an -indebtedness
of $7G3.5G6, have been paid since
January 1. Taking these counties as an
average, it is estimated that the total re
duction in the state for the present year
will reach $10,000,000. What sad com
fort calamity. Bryan must get out of
these cheering figures. And where is
L.-G. Todd and the whole calamity fam
ily? Are they congratulating one anoth
er over this splendid showing?Not much
they are busy trying to infect the iuduc
triou3 cicizen with some of their seeds of
discontent and m'sery, whicM is their
sole stock in trade. To make men feel
bier and better has always been a
di ambition, but to make them feci
I
gloomy and dejtcted is an unpardonable
crime.
In ttie "ce of hi- young heait
Bryau o.obably thought that it
would have been proper for Mr. Connell
to take the stump in the First congres
sional district before the convention was
held and before the republicans had in
timated who they intended to put
forward as a candidate. Because Mr
Connell did not abandon the interests of
the state at Washington aud come home
to chase his competitor all over the
district, Mr. B. jumped to the conclusion
that the republican was 'afraid' to meet
him on the stump. He has therefore been
parading with a chip on his shoulder for
several weeks, to the great delight of the
.small boys of his party. Now that Mi J
-Connell has been nominated, that chip
will be knocked off so quickly that the
young man who has carried it will begin
to fear that he has encountered a cyclone.
Witness the preliminary arrangements.

Shot, But Not to Kill.
Saturday night an Iowa bottom tough
bythe name of Goodwin assaulted the
chinaman in his laundry on lower Main
street; the chinaman blew a policeman's
whistle, which probably saved his life,
as John Fitzpatrick came in none
too soon Hnd placed the scoundrel under
arrest. lie is thought to be the same
party that robbed the chinaman at the
Junction about a year ago. Fitzpatrick
started off with his man for the jail, all
at once he broke and run with Johnny
after him red hot, the policeman soon saw
the webfoot was to fleet for him
and he began to shoot, at the same time
the runaway was yelling "kill me, kill
me" at every jump in a tragic manner;
he was soon out of gunshot range along
the bank of the river, but not until a
stray bullet from Fitzpatrick's revolver
struck him in the arm, which his partner
who was seen afterwards, says broke the
bone. As he escaped across the river
cluiing the night nothing further could
be learned as to the wound.

Wonder if Harry Race will be too

Frances McCourt, the Shakesperian

promises of good behayior in the future
he let them go, but he proposes hereafter

Mrs. Jacob Vallery jr. entertained

Young Guy Livingston, of Piatt h- j

eyer invaded the professional arena of
journalism. During the Tascott excite- j
inent he perpetrated the rankest iu-.po j
sition upon the Omaha World Herald
that was ever tcndeicd to taint the integ
rity of a great moral daily newspaper, :
by egotistically and boldly dipntchiiig
a bare -faced lie to that p:qer in htiitmg
that Tascott had been captured at PI itts
mouth. Mr. Livingston n )t only killed
himself in future newspaper work and
has been duped as a chump, hut he has
tMii-ed his own friends to greatly doubt
his integrity.

Tuesdays Daily.
Lincoln, Neb, Sept. 28, '90.
Fi'ends at home and read-rs of TiiK
llKKAT.n everywhere: No doubt the
readers of The Hkrai.d will be-surprised
to see a letter from Cottner University,
but we hope that it will be well rc-cciyed,
especially by those who have friends
here.
Cottner University is situated in Beth
any Ileigh's, a beautiful suburb of Lin -coin,
four miles east of the city.
The second school yearf Cottner
opened Sept. 15, at 2 o'clock p. m., with
a large attendance of visitors The
number of students this year is eighty
rive, aizainst fifty-two for last year.
Cas9 county is represented at Cottner
by fifteen students, five of whom are
from Plattsmouth, five from Elmwood,
three from Murray, one from Union and
one from Avoca. If e ery county in
the state of Nebraska would do this well
we would have one thousand students.
The University has three literary soci
eties, the Methesian, Delphian and the
Aphenian, all of which are well orga
nized and doing good work.
On Wednesday of each week is deliv
ered a lecture by some of the faculty on
the most important subjects.
There are nine students in the Medical
Department, which i3 doing excellent
work, in fact every department in the
University is doing the very best of
work, and everyone seems to be well
pleased with the school and all its sur
roundings, although we are just getting
well settled down to business for the
year.
Well thi3 will do for this time. If
we see this in print you will hear from
us again . J. I. C. K. Y.
The New Episcopal College.
State Journal. "
Ground was broken yesterduy ror the
new Episcopal college in Grandview
Place in North Lincoln and the founda
tion walls will be erected this fall. The
board appointed by the church was busi
ly t-ngaged all day yesterday examining
the plans for the proposed college sub
mitted by various architects of Lincoln,
Omaha and other cities. Owing to the
large number the board was" unable tD
formally acccept any plans submitted .
Bishop Worthmgton of Omaha was pres
ent and examined the different plans.
The board will probably decide upon
plans today or tomorrow. The new col
lege will be built of pressed brick and
will cost 640,030. it is being erected ex
uressly for boys, just as Brownell hall in
Omaha is for girls. Next, spring the
work of erecting the building will be
pushed rapidly and it will be eomplc'ed
by September 1 if possible.
II. C. McMker returned from an ex
tended trip over the southern pnrt of the
First Dijiriet Sunday evtning; he reports
the outlook very good for republican
success all along the line, and but for a
few post office fights Connell would re
ceive the old time majority. Mr! JIc
Maken attended the reunion at Auburn
while he was away and reports a great
time. He assures us that the outlook
for our reunion in November is very flat

holder with gold mountings was sticking

coin was ready to fall out, the lady took
an inventory and said that she had not

many tines in traveling so great a distance.
DAWSON & PEARCE.
They Hold a Grand Opening Today
and Tomorrow.
The beautiful room in the Hotel Riley
block occupied by the above firm is full
of bright attractions for the ladies of
PlattMnouth today. The decorations of
rises in great .profusion, with the fash
; r.ablo dahlia and the necessary fciniiax
n;u very pntty indeed, but in reality, art
iiA this case i ahead, fr tin: myriads of
birds mid plumes, ribbons and plushes
of a 1 tiie delicate and most fashionable
shades oi:tshi:i-.- the flowers. The case
containing pl.mvs and rare birds is gor
geous beyond description and speaks
volumes for Mr. Peiuee as a man of ex
cellent taste uh well as for his courteous
assistants, Mrs. Da vs n and Mrs. Peaiee.
The forests of Brazil, as well as the men
do v. s of Englcnd have been made tri
bute to the beautiful line of phim.iged
songsters that will hereafter do service
as head dress ornaments fur our P atts
mouth devotees of fashion. We notice
the latest thing in hats for little girls, is
the Continental, a ben ver that istrinntd
p so as to m ike a three cornered hat
which is now all tlia rage in the ast.
The firm carries an elegant line of im
ported beavers in all colors. The diff r
eut shades of ostrich plumes and tips are
fairly dazzling in their rich tints.
The line of imported tiimmed hats
from Mine. Josse, of Paris are a dream
of beauty- and delight to the ladies.
In childrens hoods we noticed a fine line
ranging in price from 50c to 4.50 for
the imported fur trimmed Norniandie.
Thj stock of woolen fascinators, was cal
culated t fascinate the 'old man' to
such an extent that he would open up
his pocket book for any demnad, and
fur his benefit we would request that he
keep out. The Parisian feather toques
were of wonderful design and very
pretty. . In untrimmed hats we saw the
new English walking hat which just now
is in the lead, together with the Electra,
Dorothy, St. Bernard aud Ferncliffe
shapes, all of which are largely worn
The shop windows are both attractive
and well repay a visit from the lovers of
the beautiful, whether in need of fine
millinery or not. The opening continues
tomorrow when every fashi enable lady
of the city will probably have been in to
see the finest and most complete stock of
millinery and babies wear ever brought
t this city.
POINTED FACTS.
A Ringing Letter From Elmwood,
Which Places Lemasters in
a Bad Light.
Editor Hekald: I would like to
make a few remarks in your paper. Mr,
Lemasters read a statement at Clizer's
groye, signed by Al Dickson, ex-county
commissioner, refuting the "lies,' as he
calls it in regard to making treasonable
speech in the G. A. R. Hall at Elmwood
The truth of the matter is this: He did
not make any speech in the Hall, but he
said this on the streets of Elmwood be
fore he thought ot being a candidate for
the Legislature. "If ever the North and
South should clash together again, I
would do what I could tobaye the South
regain her freedom." He also condems
this government for not lowering the
flags to half mast when Jeff Davis died,
and made insulting remarks at the time
about this government. How would
this sort of unreconstructed rebel suit
the people of Cass county to represent
them in the legislature at Lincoln next
winter. How can republican farmers
stultify themselves by voting for a man
hat hates the government which he is
sworn to protect. A man that is unaue
to the most sacred duties of citizenship
would without a pang of remorse betray
any interest, he of necessity could be
true to nothing that was noble righteous
and good. Henry Race of the E igle
says in last weeks issue that: Mr. Le
masters was a boy at the time of the war
but he was loyal to the government. It
might do to talk this kind of stuff w here
Lemasters was not known, and it must
have "been a bitter pill for Harry Rice to
swallow judging from what he said
about him some time ago In building
his house this summer this same Lemas
ters jewed his carpenter down 50c per
div lower than regular wages and th n
had him agree to work twelve hours for
a days work, thats the kind of a friend
of labor he is; yet he has the gall to
pose as the friend of the working man.
If any one wants to know further about
him let him write Mr. Robotham who
works at Adams & Gilbert's elevator
about the money Lemasters fraudulently
obtained when selling hi? corn. Now
Mr. Editor, affidavits can be obtained
from good substantial farmers of Stove
Creek precinct to prove these statements
if any one wishes to investigate this
matter. Respectfully Yours,
Mike Cavet
