OM papers at this office, only 40 ct. per 100. There will ba preaching this evening at 7:30 in the Christian church by a col ored gentleman from Council Bluffs. Ererybody is cordially invited. Geo. 8. Smith of Omaha, was in the city last night shaking hands with his many frisnds. We learn that Mr. Smith is a candidate for con grass from the big first and we heartily wish him success and know that he can depend on Cass county for a good round old delegation to rally to his support. The Nebraska delegates to the na tional convention, true to their state, are now trying to hit upon some means of advertising it when they go to the con vention, and it is proposed t hare some symbolic design mtde oat of field pro duce which will at once create u sensa tion and call the attention of that body to the Nebraska delegation. The idea is not a Lad one and ingenious minds can now set about to fix up a design whicl will We at once attractive, original and tininue. Advertise Nebraska even on the floor of the convention. Omaha Re publican. Many different stories are told in re gard to the shooting affray of last night and we are unable to draw any conclus ions from it, but we believe it would be nothing more than right, that when the excitement dies clown that the Pinker- ton should come back and surrender him self for trial. The truth of the matter could then be come at and it cannot be trot in any other way. It is not fair to judge a man on reports, but when it comes to sworn testimony you can de pend upon it. It is hardly likely that a man holding the position the Pinkerton does would shoot without a cause and on trial the true cause could be brought out. The printing press, says the "Whites boro News, has made kings and presi dents, killed poets, furnished bustles for beauties and polished genius with criti cism. It made worlds get up at roll-call every morning, triven tho pulpit lungs of iron and a yoice of steam. It has set the price on a bushel ef wheat, and made the country post office the glimmering goal of tho country scribe. It has cur tailed the power of kings, graced the pantry shelves and busted: it has con verted bankers into paupers and mad lawyers of college presidents; it has edu cated the homeless and robbed the phil osopher of his reason. It smiles and kicks and cries and dies, but it can't be run to suit everybody, and the editor is a fool who tries. A ncrvous-ioomng man went into a store the other day and sat down for half an hour or so, when a clerk asked him if there was anything she could do for him. He said no, ho didn't want anything. She went away and he sat there half an hour longer, when the pro prietor went to him tnd asked if he wanted to be shown anything. "No, said the nervous man. "I just want to sit around. My physician has recom mended perfect quiet for me, and says above all things I must avoid is being in crowds. Noticing that you did not ad vertise in the newspapers, I thought that this would be as quiet a place as I could find, so I just dropped in for a few hours of isolation." The merchant pick - ed a bolt of paper cambric to brain him but the man went out. lie said all that he wauted was quiet life. Peck's Sun. PERSONAL. PARAGRAPHS. II.

A Pinkerton Policeman Shot and Slight ly Wonnded Two Men. CHAS. ELLIS CUT IN THE FACE. Twelve) More Pinkerton Policemen Brought Down From Omaha This Morning and Put On Duty Here. All Is Quiet Today. Last night was one of great excitement to the people of Flattsmoutli. About 9 o'clock a row occurred on the street between a cigar maker and Charlie Ellis which ended in Ellis being badly cut on face. The cigar maker escaped through John Blake's saloon into tho dark alley back of the saloon with the night police after him, while marshal Malick went down to the Riddle house to get a lan tern. On his return with the lantern and two Pinkertan men they learned that the police had caught the cigar maker at the corner of 4th and Main streets. The crowd had gathered around the prisoner and police to learn tho cause of the trouble, and some one feeling the im portauce of his position, hauled away and struck one of the Pinkerton men, knocking him down, who as he arose, pulled his revolver and began shooting to defend himself. One ball struck Pete Rogers iu the jaw, coming out near the chin making only a flesh wound, anoth er striking Frank Dills in the leg, in flicting quite a serious wound. Two othar shots were fired down near the Riddle house, but by whom is not known. The Pinkerton man at first showed signs of surrender, but it is sup posed that he concluded it wight not be safe and he struck down Main Street to the Riddle house with the crowd after him. He ran through the Riddle house out at the back door and was lost from the crowd, who gathered around and made great threats of violence to the inmates of the house supposing that the Pinkerton man was being sheltered there, but after the of ficers and a number of men had searched every room in the house and found no one, tho crowd dispersed and no moro disturbance was made during the night. A telagram was sent to Omaha and about forty Pinkerton men were sent down to preserve order, but only twelve of them remained. Whether the shooting was justifiable or not, we are unable to say. But so many threats have been made against these Pinkerton men that they are not likely to take chances on any one, and the more threats that are made tho worse it makes things. For all threats in the world would not scare the Pinkertons away and the more disturbance made brings the more here. We are sorry that such things have oc curred and that our city is disgracod by them, but it will do no one any good to be continually making disturbances, and if things keep on the city authorities will have to disperse the crowds that gather on the streets from day to day. These arc disgraceful occurrences and we be lieve that if those who are engaged in them would stop to reason with them selves and think of the danger they are subjecting themselves and the city to they would refrain from all such dis turbances' We sincerely hope that no more will occur. THE SHOOTING FROM EYE WITNESSES. Owing to the numerous reports tf the affair last night we think best to give all a hear in ir. All reports asree as to the catting and arrest of the purpetrator. But as to the shooting, one man says that at the arrest of the man the marshal see ing a Pinkerton standing near asked him to help him search the prisoner, and the crowd began closing in on them and the Piukerton demanded the crowd to stand back and thereupon a few words passed between the Pinkerton and Rogers when the Pinkerton shot Rogers in the face and was going to shoot again wheu some one caught his arm and threw it down and the shot struck Dills in the leg. Another report is, that the Pinkerton had been up to the postoffice and was coming back down the street and met a crowd and among them was a drunk man who presumed to talk a little saucy and the Pinkerton who pulled out his re volver and began shooting at the crowd, striking the two above named men. Dills report is that he and Rogers were over across the street listening to the electric belt concert, and noticing a dis turbance they went to see what it whs and upon approach Rogers asked what was the matter, when the Pinkerton says "111 show you whats the mat'er" and pulled his revolver and shot Rogers in the face; Dills seeing him shoot Rogers, pulled up and struck the Pinkerton in the face, whereupon the Pinkerton shot Dills through the leg and run. Another report is that the Pinkerton man was first knocked down and us he raised up he shot Rogers when some one struck him again and he fired again and struck Dills in the. leg. Another story is, that the Pinkerton was coming up the street and met a crowd of Brotberhot'd men and without OUR - GREAT - DISSOLUTION.

Two Parisians naffled Berard and Four cade have just been sentenced to six and twelve months' imprisonment, respect ively, for having practiced a series of very ingenious frauds on keepers of public houses in the metropolis. They were In tho habit of visiting the landlords and offering them barrels of excellent wino at greatly reduced prices. The liquor which j they gave the publicans to taste was i superb, and the bargain was generally concluded, on the spot. A tew days atter ward the unlucky dealer found that tho wine which he had bought was detestable. Sinco their conviction the men have male a full confession. Berard used to keep a small bottle of good wino up his sleeve, end when ho made a pretense of CUing the glass from tho barrel he was In reality giving his customer the contents of this bottle to taste. The trick was carried out with considerable address, and was never detected by his dupes. Another "dodge," to quote his own ex prcssion, was to pour into a barrel of 200 litres forty litres of first-class wine. The remainder of the barrel was then filled up with water, slowly inserted by means of a pipe. The wine remained at tho top; tho barrel was pierced high up. and the buyer was again persuaded to taste the liquor to show there was no deception Delighted with his bargain ho put down tho money then and there, only to dis cover after a brief lapse of time that he '.ad been cheated outrageously. Cor. Loudon Telegraph. uroral Influence of Climate. Modem French scientists are nothing if not methodical, and have repeatedly called attention to the curious regularity in the geographical distribution of certain vices and virtues: intemperance, for instance, north of tho forty-eighth parallel; sexual aberrations south of tho forty-fifth; finan cial extravagance in large seaport towns; tlirift in pastoral highland regions. It is. indeed, a remarkable circumstance that in the home of the best wine grapes, in Greece and southern Spain, drunkennees is far less prevalent than in Scotland, or in Russian Poland, where Bacchus can tempt his votaries only with nauseous vodka. Tho idea th.it a low temperature begets an instinctive craving for alcoholic tonics seems disproved by the teetotalism of the Tatagonian savages, who horsewhip every Spanish stimulant monger without benefit of clergy. Tho Lesghian mountaineers, too, observe tho interdict of the Koran in tho icy summit regions of the Cau casus; but there is no doubt that the bracing infiuenco of a cold climate affords a certain degree of immunity from the delibitating effect of the alcohol vice, and that a Scandinavian peasant can for years survive tho effects of a daily dose of alcchol that would kill an Egyptian fellah In a single month.
