Governor Ilolcomb Knocks it out
in ten Seconds.
The World-IIerald has been
hamme'ing and maligning Gover
nor Ilolcomb for-months because,
as it says, he docs not enforce the
ware house lav. An interview was,
therefore, sought with the governor
to learn what was at the bottom of
it all. When asked about it, the
said:
"The provisions of the ware
house law almost wholly eliminates
the governor from any part of its
enforcement. II is only once
mentioned in the whole act and
then is given power to appoint one
inspector. All the duties, all other
appointments and the power to
enforce the act are, by its provis
ions, pfaccd entirely in the hands
of the Board of Transportation.
This Board is composed of the at
torney general, state auditor, secre
tary of state, state treasurer and
commissioner of public lands and
buildings, the governor not being a
member. As well might it be said
that the governor is responsible or
the manner in which the provis
ions of the law are enforced rela
tive to the freight rates, passenger
traffic or the transfer switch law or
any other law coming under the
jurisdict;on of the board of trans
portation, as to hold him responsi
ble for the nonenforcement, if such
there be, of the provisions of the
ware house law. The statute es
pecially provides that ajl the pro
visions of the act aro to be enforced
by the board of transportation and
I have no authority other than the
general constitutional one to see
that all the laws are executed. If
any of the provisions of this act
have been violated it has not been
brought to my knowledge and I
assume that the executive officers
of the state who are especially
ing the provisions of this act are
not knowingly permitting any vio
lation thereof. In the first place,
it is probable that during the last
year no great amount of grain was
shipped out of the state and hence
there wasnoopportunity to observe
the practical workings of this law
and, in the second place, you can
not compel men to store their grain
if they do not wish to. Further,it
may be said to be a very serious
Nuuestion whether the people care
ai this time to store their grain,
plying insurance, storage charges
and the interest on the money bor
rowed on their receipts, with any
reasonable hope ot gaining profit
by the probable rise in prices suffi
cient to cover these extra expenses.
I, for one, do not believe that there
will be any appreciable rise in the
prices of grain until there is a radi
cal reform in the monetary system
and we have an increased volume
of currency. Under such condi
tions people might see it to their
advantage to avail themselves of
. provisions a of law of this kind
and store their grain for higher
prices. If the law is not enforced
id the violation is shown to me, I

"Prosperity With a Vengeance.
Eighty-five foreclosure suits have
been instituted in this county this
week in which 500 citizens are
financially interested. Prosperity,
which the gold brgs have been so
loudly prating about, is conspicu
ous by its absence.
Another wave of John Sherman's
prosperity struck Lincoln Monday
afternoon and caught McCall &
Burch, druggists at 1229 O street
for about $5,000. The failure was
due to hard times and not enough
money to keep business operating.
It is to be hoped they and their
friends will continue to vote the
republican ticket and wait for
the good old times that never come.
Veith & Reese, grocers, doing
business at 917 O street, made an
assignment Thursday. Liabilities
7,000; assets $4,500. More pros
perity and gold standard.
Bill Dech says that there are
positive signs of the coming of the
long talked of republican higher
civilization as grocers, dry goods
and other houses where commodi
ties are, are going to the wall and
the building of war ships and manu
facture of improved firearms are
pushing to the froDt.
The good substantial meals for
10 cents at the Merchants Hotel P
and Eleventh streets, are the won
der of the ;:ity.
The sporting editor of the Bee,
S. V. G. Griswold charged with
being accessory to the killing of
Fletcher Robbins in a prize fight,
in which Griswold was refferee was
tried before Judge Chapman in
Plattsmouth on Thursday. He was
found not guilty of the crime
charged but pleaded guilty to aid
ing and abetting a prize fight and
fined $100 and costs.
No jamming, no stools to Bit on,
but good service and a a good din
ner for 10 cents, Merchants Hotel
P and Eleventh streets.
E. II. Wooley has gotten him
self into a scrape in Judge Chap
man's court in Plattsmouth. He
is charged with attempting to set
tle the Griswold prize fighting case
for a consideration while he was
employed to assist the prosecuting
attorney. Judge Chapman ex
cluded him from the case and or
dered him to show cause why he
should not bedisbarrcd.
Clean napkins, clean fable cloths,
atleutive waiters and a meal of
best of food for 10 cents, Merchants
Hotel, P and Eleventh streets.
Onk of the gold bug papers un
dchook to work a Wall street
game on Lincoln merchants last
week. All the mailing list of the
numberless dead papers which have
ever been printed in this city were
secured and their advertising man
went around showing them to the
merchants, saying "Look at our
enoraious mailing list. That proves
the great circulation of our paper."
The game didn't work.
No where in the United Stnt.-B
was ever so good a meal given for
ten cents as at the Merchants Ho
tel corner P and Eleventh Btreets.

DIFFERENT WAYS OFSLEEPINC.

Thuugh it iati'U( as the author of a
school composition unco assorted, that
"sleeping1 is u universal practice
among all nations." it is also true that
there is a great, diversity in the
methods of Blooniiitf union jr people of
different nations and different ways of
life, says tlio Youth's Companion.
The things thnt 0110 nei ds to nmku him
sloop aro precisely tho things which
would keep another awake all night.
Kveu tho sedative medicines which
put ono person immediately into a
heavy hlumbor excite auotlier into a
condition of nervous rostleBsiiess.
Tho European or American, in order
to sloirp well, ordinarily requires a
downy pillow under his hoad; but the
JupanoKu, si retelling himself upon a
rufh-mat on tlio floor, puts a hard,
square, block of wood under Ids hoad,
and docs not sleep well if Ito doos not
havo it.
Tho Chinese makes grout account of
his bed, which is very low. indeed
scarcely rising from tlio Hour but is
often carved exquisitely of wood: but
it nover occurs to him to make it any
any softer than rush-mats will render
if,.
While tho people of northern coun
tries can not hleop unlosH they have
plenty of 100111 to i.tvctch out llieir
legs, tho inhabitants of tho tropics
often curl themselves up liko monkeys
at tho lower unglo of 11 suspended
hammock, and sloop soundly in that
position.
Tho robust American often cover
himself with a pair of blankets and
throws his window wide open to tho
air, even in tho winter time, nnd he
doos not complain if ho finds a littlo
drift of snow across tlio top of his bed
in the morning.
Tlio Kussian, on Iho contrary, likes
no sleeping-pinco so woll us the top of
Iho big soapstono stove in his domicile.
Crawling out of this blistering bed in
tho morning ho lilies to take a plunge
in a cold stream, even if bo has to
break through the h.o to get into it.
The Laplander crawls, head and all.
into a bag made of reindeer skin and
sleeps warm and comfortable within
It. Tho East Indian, at tho other end
of the world, also has a sleeping-bag,
but it is more porous than the Lap
lander1?. Jts purpo.-;o is to keep out
mosquitoes more than to keep the
sleeper w:h .j.
While tho American bU!1 elings to
his feather pillow ho is stc;ulily dis
carding his old-fashioned feather bod
in favor of tho bair or straw matross.
The feather bod is relegated to tho
country and many people who slept
upon it all through their childhood
find themselves uncomfortable upon it
lu their maturity.
The (lermans not only sleep upon a
feather bed, but underneath ono. Tho
feather covering used in (iermany,
however, is not as largo or thick at,
tho one which is used us a mattress,
and tiic foreigner who undertakes to
sleep beneath it often finds his foot
frufTering from cold, whilo his should
ers aro fcullering from heat.
The Itac'.i'iipua olliil(l IVrnorix.
Tho unconticiom rudeness of Btupid
persons i ono of tho niont annoyinff of
Bocial vexations, and yet it in a thing
which must bo endured aa part of the
discipline of life.
A lady who had had her houso done
over in tho most recent fashion wan
asked by every intimate- friend who
called to exhibit it from top to bottom.
Ail (bo whs ono of tho persons who
havo Humorous intimate friends hho
filled tho oflico of exhibitor pretty
often, and of courso each dear friend
to whom nho howod tho house went
away and made intimate friend com
ments upon it. One day a lady who
was not. of tho inner eirclo of intimato
friends called and before leaving asked
to bo taken over tho house. Tho hoa
tebs i-.howed her about and after all
had been noon led tho way back to tho
parlor.
But you havo not showed mo all

Is the result of an argument between our advertising manager
and the advertising manager of one of the newspapers of the city,
who bet his paper would sell more goods for us than any other
paper in the city or 5,000 handbills providing we would take the
following articles:
(DARK THE PRICES BELOW COST:

This advertisement with the cash entitles the buyer to any or all
of the above goods at the price set opposite each article. This test
will last but four weeks,
Ending Nov. 22 '95.
Now if you want to boom the paper you read, and save money
at the same time, here is your chance. No one allowed to use more
than one advertisement or hand bill a day. In addition to the above
advertisement we offer
S25.00 IN GOLD
to the person guessing nearest to the number of cash sales made by
us during the month ending December 24th, '95. In every cash pur
chase we give a numbered slip on which they may write their name
and address and the number they guess. Deliver the same to the
office of Lincoln Meat Co., on or before December 22nd, '95. No one
allowed to guess more than 10 times.
The number of cash sales made by us during the month of Oc
tober is 12,441. This is the largest number of cash sales ever made
in 30 days by any dealer in meats and provisions in Nebraska. Our
figures above will prove our assertion. This will enable you to
make a close guess.
