yProf. X.ee, when nt the Teachers'
, Institute, presented us with Guyot's
Elementary, Intermediate and Com
mon School .Geographies from the
publishing house of Hadley, Hill &
Co., of Chicago. These are the ones
recomended for use In the schools of
the State by Prof. Reals. We are not
fully prepared to speak of their com
parative worth as text books over oth
ers In use in our schools, but from a
slight examination we believe them
sapcrior to many, and well adapted
to the wants of our common school
system.
Trof. Hadley, of the Publishing
House of Hadley, Hill & Co., of Chi

. of .School Library Books, entitled
'The Intelligence of Animals," with
Illustrative anecdotes from the French
of Ernest Meriault. This work is
adapted to children, and whlle.it will
prove exceedingly interesting to them
iti6$.oinstructivearidentertaiuingthat
the children must await its perusal by
the parents before they can get con
trol of the book. We w ill at some fu
tuie time print extracts from its pages
for our young readers.
We refer our readers to the extracts
from P. T. Barn urn's new book on the
first nace of this paper. This book is
one which every member of the fam
ily will read, it win aeiignt and
instruct even the boys and girls, who
will read every word of it before they
stop as soon as they can get hold of it
The lecture which Mr. Barnum de
livered throughout Europe and Amer
ica upon the subject of Vmoney get

cost of the book to any young man
who will read it with care. The book
is a large, well bound volume, full o
instruction, wit and humor, and wil

Gen. J. M. Thayer, of Omaha, made
a short visit to this place on lastMon
day on his return home from Wash
Ington. e were pleased to meet
him and renew-our acquaintance for
even a few moments. In the evening
he was serenaded at the residence of
Dr. McPherson, by the Silver Cornet
Band and the citizens of Brownville
who afterwards called him out for
speech, lie, came forward, escorted
by Senator Tipton, and thanked the
citizens for the compliment thus
paid him. Soke of the stir and bus
iness aspect of the town, of its growth
and prosperity, and of public matters
relating thereto. Hi3 remarks were
well received, and he closed amid
much cheering. The General's mill
tary and civil record does honor both
to himself and the State. As a work
er he is indefatigable and untiring,
knowing no let up or rest until he se
cures what he thinks is right and
just in the premises. He never feels
more satisfaction than when he has
executed the will of the humblest of
his constituencv. His labors in the
recent canvass in Pennsylvania, imd
his speeches in California were such
as to draw out the highest encomiums
from the leading papers of those
States, and flatterine to the btate
pride of every citizen of Nebraska.
There are few men whose public acts
and savings more universally com
mand our assent and coincide with
our views, tnan ao tnose oi ouroen
Ator. He is no trimmer, but what he
conscientiously believes to be right he
unreservedly, proclaims upon every
rostrum. He is no fanatic, nor con
troled bv no false philanthropy. He
believes in dealing with rebels and
their sympathizers as human beings
and not as ancrels : as men who have
done wrong and not yet fully persua
ded to do right. The Senator leaves
us with many well wishes for his suc
cess as a public man.

If it be found that twenty-seven
States have ratified the fifteenth
Amendment by the middle of Janua
ry, and the assent of Nebraska is nec-
cssary to niaKe mat great measure oi
political justice ana equality enecuve,
we ask our neighbor of the Advertiser
f he would postpone the ratification
for twelve mouths, and thus contrib
ute to the election of twenty copper-
leads to: the forty-second Congress,
rather than incur the small expense
ncident to an extra session of ten
days ? For our own part, we are pre
pared to go to Lincoln and spend all
the time necessary to noia tins extra
session, without charge to the State
Treasury for either per diem or mile
age, rattier than jeopardize this great
measure or postpone its adoption an
lour after the asscntor Nebraska win
complete its ratification and render it
effective. The editor of the Advertiser
is a memler. Will he do as much?
Omaha Republican.
We are unreservedly in favor of the
ratification of the XV th Amendment
y a sufficient number of States to
make it legally a part of the Constitu
tion of the United States. We want
no delay. We favor this amendment
on the broadest grounds. We Relieve
it just to all classes. . As a measure of
public policy it is liberal on the part
of the majority, and at the same time
t compels a wholesome respect for the
rights of the minority. We do not
stop to ask what particular party may
be benefited, or what one may loose
now or hereafter in the event of rati
fication. It is sufficient for us to know
that it is inherently right and just in
ts object, aims and tendency. Being
convinced of this as we most assuredly
are, we say to the Republican that we
would not spare one hour, nor count
any necessary cost, wnen tne contin
gency arises to which he alludes, but
will then plead with him and others
for ah extra session, that Nebraska
may cap the climax; but until then
xe will permit us to dissent from the
hue and cry for an extra session.
We are pleased to chronlclo the
completion of the Highland Baptist
Church in Glen Hock Precinct This

Col. lYlIUam Raumer.
. Brownville, Nov. 1, 18G9.
'Editor Advertiser: Intelligence from
Omaha announces the death of Col
W. Baumer, of the 1st Nebraska Vol
unteers. .
Colonel Baumer wasa German, and
like most Germans had a military ed
ucation. Though young at the time.
he took au active part in the Republi
can movement in . his native land In
1848. At the suppression of that
movement he emigrated to this coun
try, and for several years followed the
profession of architect and builder.
At the outbreak of the Rebellion in
1SG1, he organized a company of Ger
mans at Omaha, which company was
mustered into the United States ser
vice as company B, of the 1st Nebras
ka Volunteers, with Baumer as Cap
tain. , .
ne served with distinction all
through the war. Was promoted to
Major in April 'G2, and to Lieut. Col
onel in the autumn of the same year.
Was in command at Cape Girardeau,
when Marmaduke threatened it in
18G3, and was the virtual commander
when Marmaduke attached the place.
Gen.' McNeal, who assumed command
a few days before the battle, being so
well pleased with Baumer's plans,
that he did not alter them in any par
ticular. . ,- n
For . his defense of that place the
people of the "Cape" presented Bau
mer with a beautiful sword.
When the 1st Nebraska was changed
to cavalry, and sent to Batesviile,
Arkansas, in 1863-4, Baumer ; com
manded several expeditions, and be-
'.tm L
came a terror to tne ousnwnacKers
thereabouts.
When the Regiment came to Ne
braska in the summer of 1864, Baum
er came also, and commanded in vari
ous places, from Omaha to Fort Lar-
v . a . M A.
amie. It was wmie in command m
the latter place that he hung some
Indians that had murdered settlers
on the Little Blue, and took a woman
nto captivity, whom they treated in
a horrible manner. ...
A wholesouled, upright, honorable
man, nis comrades will mourn nis
death and respect his memory.
EDUCATION AI
The District Teachers' Association.
FULL PROCEEDINGS.
An Interesting Meeting.
Agreeable to previous instructions
ssued by S. D. Beals, State Superin
tendent of Public Instructions, .Mr.
A. W. Nickell, County-Superinten-.
dent of Nemaha County, gave due no
tice through the papers and otherwise
that a District Teachers' Institute, for
the benefit of the teachers of Johnson
and Nemaha counties, would be held
at the Brownville High School room,
commencing Oct. 23th, 18C9, aud that
the exercises of the Institute would be
opened Monday evening, Oct. 25th,
with an address by Superintendent
Beals.
And in compliance with the special
request of Mr. Beals, Mr. Nickel! took
such steps as he deemed necessary to
render the "Institute a success." . He j
freely consulted vith the teachers of.i
Brownville as to the best course to be
mrsued under existing circumstances.
A programme for the first two days of
the Institute was made out 'and'.. pun
ished ; a lecturer engaged, ,as , Mr.
Beals requested, for Tuesday evening;
music provided ; arrangements made
with our citizens to entertain teach
ers from the various districts of Nem
aha and Johnson counties, free of cost,
while attending the Iustitute; and
many other matters were seen to, all
with the simple view of smoothing
the way for, and facilitating the labors
of, our State Superintendent. ...
Acreeable to the notice just men
tioned, quite a respectable audience as
sembled at the Brownville. High
School room, on Monday evening,
Oct. 23th, 18G9. , At half, past" seven
'clock Mr. Nickell called the house
to order, and introduced Mr. Beals,
who proceeded to deliver a carefully
considered, and well written address.
At the close of his lecture Mr.-Beals
invited a free expression of views, on
the part of those present, in reference
to the subject of education in general,
and the Institute just inaugurated in
particular. Quite a lively discussion.
then arose concerning the programme
published by. Mr. Nickell, who, feel-
nii that he had been actuated by; the
best motive in what he had done, and
that he was unjustly censured in. the
remarks that were made, declined to
take any further active part iu the ex-
ercises of. the Institute; but was fre
quently present ; during its session
and did nothing to ninder its success.
?rom reports heard before coming to
Brownville, Mr. Beals was led to ex-
nect that he would, while here m tne
discharge of his official duties, be met
with oreanizcd opposition by Mr.
Nickell and the teachers of. the place. 1
This apprehension was .confirmed
by remarks, made during, the dis
cussiou above refered to, and Mr. :
Beals was also lead to believe that he
would receive the cordial support ;of
the most intelligent and influential of
our citizens. Accordingly he set aside
all that had been done bv Mr. Nickell
and the teachers ; stated that he was
responsible for the success f the In
stitute, and that be would conduct it
in his own way. lie furtner stated
that he was accompanied by distin
guished, teachers to. conduct the class
drills, read the Programme, by which
he proposed to be governed, and as
sured the audience that he came there
to labor earnestly on behalf of the
school interests alone. ,
On Tuesday. -morning. Mr. Beals
having become satisfied that ne had
been deceived in reference to the mo
tives that had actuated Mr. JNiCKeii
and his advisers, manifested a most
conciliatory disposition, expressed
his desire to nave Air. iNiCKeirs pro-
x 1 .1 A. .1
gramme rauniuiiy. carrieu out, auu
treated ali memoers or me institute
with such consideration and polite
ness as to soften down all harsh feel
ings against him, and to remove all
doubts as to the purity of the motives
governing his course of action.
On motion of Mr. McKenzie, made
at the suggestion of the Superinten
dent, Mr. W. Rich was elected Secre
tary f the Institute, i
