What with not beinir able to haul from
intermediate points on their own road,
and passengers traveling over other roads
the company will become so financially
embarrassed that they will shortly have
to submit to the inevitable.
An amusing occurrence happened
this morning in the postolHcc lobby.
Some ladies, relatives of members of tin
Brotherhood, were soliciting names for u
ramV, when a pretty, vivacious maiden
smilingly inquired of a Pinkerton man
if he wouldn't take a chance to help out
the cans? of strikers. He blushed and
stammered out. as he retreated to tin
door, "N-o thank you ! All I want
is a chance to get out of here."
The Iowa Railway Commissioner.'
have been investigating the competency
or incompetency of those lately employer1
to run their engines. The commissioners
sumcd up as follows : "Mr. Brown, sup
erintendent of the Iowa lines, admits that
under the conditions of all his engineer
leaving in twelve hours1 notice, he va
compelled to run passenger trains with
new and inexperienced men. It may b
regarded as proven beyond question and
admitted, that the men above designated
were inexperienced under the general
rules laid down by the railroad compan
ies for the running of trains, and tried by
their own statements the commissioners
do not hesitat to say that they are in
competent.'"' About 8:30 last night seven cars
pulled into the yards from Omaha. Tom
Dawitt, alias "Wise" and "Stormy" was
officiating engineer. Two cars belonged
to the U. P., one of which was the late
Thos. Potter's special car. There was al
so two Pullman cars, Gen. Man. Ilold
rego's ( B. & M.) special, Xo. 15, one F.,
11 & M. V. car, and a baggage car. . All
the cars were draped in mourning. Pot
to's car was especially noticeable for the
black and white silk festoons tl.at hung
around the win lows, also tl e artistic
inann?r in which a picture of aheadlight
wis painted in gold on the drapery that
hun; around the sides of the car. About
one hundred .persons' were on tbe cars
goinj to Burlington, Iowa, to ft tend the
f aneral that takes place today.
"Suffer Littl Cnildren to Come
Unto Mo'
It becomes our sad and painful duty
to record the d -ath at 3 A. M. this
morning of Wesley Baker, the little col
ored boy, whose crippled leg and smil
ing face has been no familiar to our read
ers as he peddled the Omaha liee or,
stood behind a peanut aland at J. P.
Young's store on Main street. About 10
o'clock yesterday morning he was in
good health, standing on the depot plat
form, shortly afterwards he vomited.
He then went to Young's store and again
vomited. Mr. Young sent him home
where he had another vomiting spell and
complained of feeling cold. lie was
put to bed and went to sleep from sheer
exhaustion. He awoke in a short time
and k&ked his mother for water, repeat
edly making the same request, but not
being able to recognize or answer any
questions put him by his parents. At IS
a. M. the angel of doath took his spiritual
form to that realm where there is no dif
ference of creed or color.
The parents deserve the heavenly sup
plications of all Christians residing in
this city to aid them to submit meekly
ami cheerfully to the will f their Diyine
Master. They also need substantial aid
in the form of money to help them bury
their child decently.
Their present sad loss is the more piti
ful on account of haying lost two chil
dren abeut six years ago, and Wesley be
ing their chief suppoit and reliance on
the word of Christ that He" "will temper
the wind to the shorn lamb.1' They
have no child now, and nothing to com
fort them in their old age, only the
scriptural prom'se "Then shall the dust
return to the earth as it was, aud tho
spirit shall return unt God who gave
it." When "a few mors years ehall roll"
they hope for a fulfillment of that prom
ise to enable them to meet their departed
offspring in Heaven. The father "Uncle
Ned" is a cripple antl needs pecuniary as
sistance. His case is deserving attention.
The funeral will take place from the
Presbyterian church. Rev. J. T. Baird will
officiate, tomorrow at 11 a. m. The cause
of the boy's death is not known but the
symptoms noticed sometime aftfr reach
ing home were those of poisoning from
the use of opium. If that is true, the
police should cautin Qoung Lee not to
allow any boys in his celestial domicile,
or otherwise raid the place and if any
opium is found, to pitch it into the gat
ter where it belongs. There thould be a
post-mortem held to ascertain the cause
of death, perhaps, the boy was poisoned
intentionally.
A Brotherhood Interview.
"In 18S1 I was drawing a passenger
engine between Cowles and Blue Hills
when I came to what we call a "blind
washout," that is, tho earth remained
firm on the surface bttweeu the ties, but
was washed out underneath for a length
of thirty feet, and ten feet deep. Some
prominent men were on the train who
got off and told me that they would put
some props under the ties and tl:n I
could take my engine over. All right, I
said, if you will hold the props I'll take
my engine over. Now, that's all we
want, we don't cure if associated press
dispatches are falsified or editors of
newspapers are bribed to speak ill of the
Brotherhood, all we want is for public
opinion to hold the props of fairness and
justice and we'll proceed in the course
we intend to persue all right."
"How did you know that there was a
washout when you say that the earth ap
peared firm on the surface?"
"Why, I could tell by the fallen peb
bles and and the broken, cracked sods qf
grass at the sides of the rails that some
thing vas wrong, so I stopped my en
gine." "What would have occurred with an
inexperienced engineer or "scab'1 under
similar circumstances?"
"He would have gone over and killed
himself and patsengers.1
"Is'ut it an easy matter for an engineer
to keep his head out of the cab window
and look "out for such occurrences?"
"Well you try it some cold night,
with an engine almost cutting her way,
at a high rate of spreed through snow
and sleet. After you have been at it for
five minutes you will imagine that you
have had a lot of red hot needles stuck
in your eyeballs and a dose of birdshot
fired into your checks."
Michael Fanning gave another tem
perance lecture last night to a crowded
house. His sphere is the political field.
Such men are the enemies of temperance
when they mix politics with their lectures.
They may be smart, intellectual, logical,
and arguemeutave, but instead of trying
to convert the drunkard their whole aim
appears to be to abuse Republicans, and
get their hearers to join the 'prohibition
party. Mr. Fanuing's sneers and sarcas
tic allusions while in argument with Mr.
D. A. Campbell, of this city, were very
ungentlemanly, and in his efforts to
prove a horse chestnut a chestnut horse,
hemide himself Absurdly rediculous to
any BensiMe person. To sum up, he is
the enemy of temperance r.n 1 the friend
of prohibition.

Pctronlzo Homo Industrlos-
It is a common thing for an individual
who has served some time as a tree ped
dler to rmt an office in a largo city, issue
gorgeous circulars representing conserva
tories and nursery goods, which cover
about a thousand acres, and style them
selves "Felix, Fitz-Foodle fc Co., Nur
serymen, FlorisU and Pomologists, Ori
noc Nursery.Swindlevillo county, Green
horn state."
Then they send thousands of wood
cuts round to the country press, and ask
them in studied phrases to insert them
next to "reading matter," and they will
forward a package of their choicest
seeds worth five cnts. They then pro
cure agents, who never see tbe firm they
represent, all business being done by let
ter, and pay them twenty-five per cent
commission on sale, or a salary of about
$80 per month and expenses.
Theseersons will come to a city like
Plattsmouth and solicit from every house
for orders for plants with ficticious names,
and charge seyenty-five cents for a rote
slip that can be bought of our own nur
serymen for ten cents; they also charge
two dollars for a two-year old grapevine
that can be purchased, true to name, in
this city for fifteen cents.
The agent appoints some attorney to
make collections in case there should be
a dispute when the goods are delivered,
and some hachman to receive and deliv
er tho trees; he is then told by his mana
ger the next town to canvass.
When the time arrives for the goods to
be delivered the firm sends a fac-simile
list of the agent's orders to the town, if
it has a nursery, if not to the nearest one,
and gets a price, with a good discount
for a large order end ready cash for the
orders. The trees and plants are then
packed and handed over to the express
driver, and he delivers them with the
company collector to the "flats" about
town.
The ouly way for our home industries
to prevent this and keep the money at
home is for them to freely advertise in
their home papers, and canvass from
house to house themselves wi'h their own
samples and illustrations. The people
won't go to you, you will have to go
to them.
Nearly Cremated and Drowned
A farmer named R. Medley, from
Peru, Nemaha county, was driving a
covered emigrant wagon, containing his
wife and four children, across the coun
ty'bridgejjtwo miles south of South Bend
last Sunday. He wa3 on his way to
Omaha. Tho bridge being in a slippery
condition, in some manner the outfit slid
over into a ravine about seven feet deep
and containing four feet of water. As
the stove turned over it burned the faces
of the children and severely . bruised the
mother. Mr. Medley was thrown with
his head aud shoulders on the bank, with
the remainder of his body I : i the water.
As the wagon was going off the bridge,
the wagon-bed slipped from its place
and fell partly on Mr. Medley's legs and
heaviest part on the horses1 backs. Mis.
Medley tore open the carpet covering and
dragged out her screaming children, put
them on the bank, and then went to the
ass:stauce of her husband, who, after
violent exertions, she managed to release.
One of the horses was drowned on the
spot, the other was gotj out of the water
but died shortly afterwards. lie is in
town today with a petition signed by P.
Gakumcir and H. M'ssner proving the
truth of his story, and soliciting damages
from the county commissioners for the
loss vf his horses, which he values at
300.
