'Oincial Paper cf City and County.
Dr. Win. Arnold, of this city, is ad
vertised to lecture at the Normal
School ia Peru on next Monday night.
It will ho an entertainment worth
listening to.
- One hundred Mormon preachers
recently arrived In Omaha, from
wlience they radiate in as many direc
tions in search of victims and prose
lites to the Mormon faith.
Dr. Campbell, of Mendon, III.,
occupied the Rev. Mr. Baird'a pulpit
in the First Presbyterian Church in
this city on last Sabbath. The sermon
is (?poken of as being a very able and
masterly effort by those who were bo
fortunate as to hear him.
' The Democrat cf this city, after
furnishing the Democracy of thegtate
with a leader, is anxious to secure one
for, the railroad interests of Browu
viile. . We know of none who are par
ticularly ambitious for the position,
so tht the construction train moves
along. :
The Midland Racifio Railroad is
graded to Lincoln. It remains to
bridge, tie and lay the track. There
la not a little strife between that and
the B. & M. from Plattsinouth, as to
which will run cars into the Capital
first. The chances are with the B. &
M. without much doubt.
The Omaha Iicjmhlican is the best
newspaper In the State. At last-It has
Induced the capitalists of Omaha to
commence the building of two very
Important lines of railway ; one run
ning South-west through Lincoln to
the Republican, and the other North
west from the city of Omaha.
- ' The Rev. W. S. Horn, formerly of
this county, but now of Lincoln, gave
lis a call this week, Ills 6tory of the
. progress of Improvements In and
' around Lincoln, the Capital of the
' State, and the consequent rise in real
estate In price, in view of the near
completion of the B. & M. and the M
& P. Railroads to that place is quite
. cheering.
''Ji: !ge Saunders now owns the La
. fay c tie Water-power and Grist Mill.
These he has greatly improved the past
Eummer by adding new machinery.
In a short time he will have comple
ted his Saw Mill attached thereto.
1 These are much needed improvements
in that section of our county, and will
be conveniences which the citizens
will highly appreciate, and which will
, add largely to the value of real estate
in that precinct.
The donation'party held at the M.
E. Church last week for the benefit of
. its pastor, was not largely attended.
Those present were among the reli
ables, and bestowed of their means
quite generously. This church,
though one of the oldest in the city,
is neither strong in numbers or mate
rial wealth. It contains tho gem
around which an energetic and live
pastor could rally a large congregation
&nd obtain a comfortable living.
Judge Starr, of Lafayette precinct,
wr-s in this city last week; . A brother
of his who has resided the past forty
years in Vermillion county, Illinois,
is here on a visit.. He expresses him
self as well pleased with the country ;
. finding the soil far superior and the
improvements infinitely better, than
he anticipated. Mr. Starr,-we judge
to be a man of capital, energy and ripe
" experience; and should he conclude
to move to Nebraska, will be a val
uable acquisition in the State socially,
1 politically and financially.
' The District Court Is now In session
in this city. Besides the bar of this
county we notice J. N. Shambaugb of
Nebraska CItv and A. Shonheit of
Falls City. James Wright indicted
' for an assault with intent to murder
Casenback last September, was found
guilty by the jury. He has been sent
to States Prison one year. Mr. Fife,
indicted for counterfeiting County
( "Warrants, was found guilty and ha?
also been sent up for one year. The
. business cf the Court is progressing,
and the Indications are that the Dock
et will be cleared by Saturday.
-The Democrat has information, how
ftliable we will not pretend to say,
that Conrnl II-rins received a majori
ty vote In the Sd Commissioners Dis
trict for Commissioner at the October
election. - "We confess that we know
of no way cf determining this matter
unless we-take the dictum of the
' Democrat for truth, of which past ex
perience inclines us to be distrustful.
"While the community may not be
deeply Interested in thi3 matter, yet,
Rock Creek." and ourself would feel
quite thankful could the Democrat
vouchsafe to give us. the solution of
this .problem, as he has the floor.

We print this week .'Proposals for
the location cf a College,'' issued by
the authority of the Nebraska Stat
Convention of the Baptist Denom
ination. A city i3 made up and
gTows out cf the union cf a variety of
influences, prominent among which
we find seminaries, colleges and uni
versities. If Brownville hai got the
grit, pith and vim, around which cap
ital, manufuoturc-riB, school of learn
ing, intelligence and population clus
ter, then she will make such an cITort
to secure this college as the impor
tance of the case demands. The Bap
tist Church U progressive, and pos
sesses that vitality and durability
which makes a tower of strength
among the people, and w hat she really
sets about she accomplishes. A college
u racier, the fostering care of that
church would be prosperc-iis, and cen
ter in Brownville the good will and
irf;:meeof the entire denomination

Our Undeveloped Resources.
One of our subscribers from Gage
countv writes us that he has now bear

that during that tana J.o has worked
hard breaking up the ground, he Jgir
In the same, planting out timber, fruit
tree, &c. ; that he I 13 wom out nil

that he has several hundred bushels
of corn eribed Vp; several acres of
grain in the stack, potatoes and other
root crops in the scllar, all which are
so far from market that they are not
available for the purpose of supplying
his wants in the clothing and news
paper line, lie says: "The inquiry
comesnp with terrible force to my
troubled mind : What am I to do?
the clothing I must have and the
Advertiser I want; credit you wont
take and the greenbacks I can't get,
so please, discontinue if you mast."
We presume the case of this family is
simply the story of countless others,
plenty to eat but nothing to wear.
Merchants write us that their stocks
are low and their capital is in the
hands of fanners in the shape of goods
sold and not paid for. The cause for
all our woes is that we are not self
sustaining. The State is drained of its
corn, wheat, cattle, hogs, sheep, horses
and greenbacks to pay for what we
should grow within our own borders
There is no sense in a State so wel
adapted to the growth of wool for ev

can take your grain, your beef and

grow rich and debt be a thing un
known. Large communities inland
a long distance from cheap and speedy
transportation" are bound to suffer,
while all follow but one branch of in
dustry. It is simply idle to say to the
farmers of our State, buy and feed
stock which can be transported with
little cost. They have not got the
capital. They would do this if they
conld. It will take years of slow
growth to direct matters into this
channel; while all may buy a few
sheep, a spinning wheel or a loom,
and by another year ward off much
of the inconvenience of the prcseM.

raw material may be had in abun

and taxes moderate. . Let these in
ducements be thoroughly advertised,
and our word for it, capital will flow
in from the cast and fill up this great
vacuum, and by so doing enrich them
selves and us too. Let Gage county
but Invest her $100,000 in developing
her vast water-powers; in woolen
manufactures ; in tanneries and in
drawing to them mechanics and arti
sans of the east, and then she will les
sen her desire for Railroad connection
and Induce a corresponding longing
upon the part of Railroad men to reach
her with the iron horse. In the mean
time, our friend shall read the Adver
tiser. Railroads are powerful aids in the
development of a country and in the
concentration of capital. They hold
a preponderating influence over favor
able localities, milder climate, supe
rior soil, directness of route and slower
thoroughfare. Without the aid of
Railroads, Richardson, jSemah, Paw
nee, Johnson and Gage counties stood
first and foremost above all other lo
calities in the State. Brownville,
when all towns were depending upon
their natural resources, gave promise
of becoming the metropolis of the
State. Omaha, aided by the resources
of the U. P. R. R., soon lead her byi
many tnousanas, .eorasKa uny stan-
ding tremblingly Eecond, a9 her pros
pective railroads were considered more
or Isss certain, and' for a long time
Brownville held the position of the
third town in size and commercial
importance. !Now, the B. & M. being
completed to the river, comes . to the
aid of "Plattsniouth ; and we reluc
tantly yield our place to that growing
city. Fremont, Lincoln and Rulo are
already in a fair way of sending us
down in the scale to the seventh place.
The building of railroads v and
through these points have and are
doing it, and still we slumber on with
out them. ; Every trial we make we
yield to opposition, which makes our
future efforts more hopeless.' "We are
encouraged to make bur final point
to-night at the meeting of the City
Council. If repulsed, it will not be
for the want of an effort, and as we
humbly think in the right direction.
Can we but secure the undoubtpdi
completion of the Q., M. & T. Rail
road at an early day to Brownville, we
have no fears for her future. If this
hope dies out, then farewell to her
prospects now and hereafter. , ' .'
Njtcma from the Clarion. .
We are sorry to note that work has
been suspended on the bridge at this
place. The probabilities fere that oper
ations will not be resumed until next
spring.
We will state, for the information
of the outside world, that any quan
tity of husked corn can be bought in
Gage county for twenty-five cents per
bushel, in cash. We need a railroad,
and must have one.
Fencing In Rivals.
The Advertiser misunderstands a
remark in arecentnumber of the Vcss
in regard to fencing in rivals by buil
ding railroads across their channels of
trade, and applies it to Brownville.
Our well known interest in all that
concerns the development of Nebras
ka in every part should have been ta
ken into consideration by tho Adver
tiser, and it would nrt have inads tlie
mistake. We are always pleased- to
see any town or cityin Kebraska
growing, but we protest against Ne
braska productions and trade being
appropriated to the upbuilding . of

have marked the course of our most
successful men. His mental powers
are keen, active and discriminating,,
and they soon work their way up to
positions of honor, profit and useful
ness. How necessary then that every
boy and girl learn to utilize their
time at on early age. Do some work
every day, and do it thoroughly and
well. If you do but little study but
little form the habit early of doing
that little so perfectly that it hi 11

responsibility that parents and teach
ers are under to see that those undei

We notice the "regrets" of the
Democrat because the petition now
being circulated to take stock in the
Q., M. ii V. Railroad, fail3 to meet his
views ; and toe regret that he has de-
cided to order the Council to lav it i n
the table. The petition is in exact
accordance with the resolutions rasa-
