Sunday Srlionl Concert,
Last Sabbath evening'the Presby
terian Church was crowded to suffo
cation by our people who had 'gone
thither to attend the Sabbath School
Concert. As usual the choir enrapt
ured all hearers by their sweet sing
ing. Rev, Slaughter delivered the
first address, which well sustained the
reputation of that distinguished di
vine as an eloquent and gifted speaker,
Bev. S. was followed by Prof. Wil
liams, of Peru, who delivered a forc
ible address to the children, every
syllable of which was understood and
appreciated by the little ones, and
touched the heart and risible3 of the
older ones, and evidenced that the
speaker was at homo with children,
and the children felt at home with
him.
In this connection we can scarcely
refrain from commenting on the
pleasing fact that in the Sabbath
l School interest the Presbyterian,
Baptist and Methodist Churches are
an unit, and on the evening of the
third Sunday in each month all unite
forces and efforts to render the Con
certs successes and they have been
more than fortunate, inasmuch as
eacli and all of them have been
triumphs.
Local Excitement
On last Saturday afternoon Marshal
Campbell got up quite an excitement,
one that drew into Main-street nearly
all our cit zens and all stranirers. The
) 011 him. The chap then made a
poor face to the Marshal, expressed
regret at the dilemma he had involved
himself in, and promised if let off, to
pay in a lew days. But he did not
keep his word good, and on Saturday
the Marshal knowing of his presence
in town secured a writ and went lor
Ills man. The fellow took leg bail,
Marshal after him, and to facilitate
the chase fired a shot over, instead of j
in jus ueau. xul uio cuap ran aim
finally hid under a housu from
whence he was dragged and taken to
the calaboose. Here he was inter
viewed by Judge Rogers, when lie
pulled oil" one of his boots and took
from the recesses thereof a roll of
bills and liquidated the debt, after
which he went his way, not rejoicing
but using sacred words in profaiie
profusion.

WOMAX STABBED.
Man's Inhumanity to Woman.
On last Monday evening about 8
o'clock two persons dressed in male
costume were seen walking up Main
street. When they reached 2nd st reet
they halted and one of them was
seen to drop while the other was ob
served abstracting something from,
the person of the fallen one. Some
boys approaching.the fellow who was
bent over the prostrate form said that
his companion had fallen upon his
knife and hurt himself, and that he
would go and obtain succor, where
upon he ran away. The wounded
one then said, "I am not a man but a
woman; for God's sake save me!"
Alarm was given and the poor girl -for
girl she proved to be was curried
to Thurman's Drugstore, where Dr.
HoIIadav met her. On examination
it was found that she was stabbed
near and a little above the groin, and
it was atjirst supposed, fatally. For
a time she refused to give informa
tion against her assassin, but finally,
supposing that death was awaiting
her confession, she said that a young
Missourian, named Biley Johnson,
indicted the wound to possess himself
of some $10 which she had in her
stocking, and which she alleges he
did take. Marshal Campbell there
upon crossed the river, and by some
means induced the accused to return
with him, and at present he is in dur
ance vile. The girl does not seem to
be over IS yearp of age, gives her
name as Josie McClain, and says she
hails from Lincoln. She is a prosti
tute and disguised herself in male at
tire with the view of prosecuting her
infamous business in this city un
der the guardianship of him who.
proved to be her assassin.
We cannot close this article without
alluding to one other fact painfudy
developed on Mo n d a y e v e
ning, in connection with this case.
When the night was wearing away,
solicitude was excited as to whci'u the
helpless one could be cared for. Fin
1
aly Kljf(, Leaehi proprietor of the
Star Hotel, proffered the hospitalities
of his house, but when the girl was
carried there one or more of the.
boarders remonstrated for the alle-ed i
reason thatshe was a prostitute. With
all due reripect wo would say that in
our judgment Christ was a better man
than such complainants, and when a
prostitute was proposed to be stoned
in His presence, lie said, "Let him
that is without sin cast the first
stone." Time was when she was
"somebody's darling," and none can
tell, save God, whether she is guilty
or not. The chances are as an hun
dred to one that at the Eternal Throne
she may be acquitted, and the guilt
attaching to her fallen condition fall
upon, and bear down to the nether
most hell, some man who now struts
the earth with erect mein.
"Oil ! it uiis pitiful.
In sx wholuelly tull,'

from out of the Star Hotel, past mid

picsein situation is ine e.ieei oi a
wound inflicted by William Riley
Johnson, on the 19th day of Febru
ary, A. D. 1S72, in the city of Brown
ville, county of Nemaha, and State
of Nebra-ka. after being duly sworn,
say- I am IS years old. I came to
Mr. Johnson's in North Star, At
chinson county, Missouri, on Sunday
morning, February ISth, 1S72; I stay
ed there until about S o'clock Mon
day evening, February 19th, 1S72.
Mr. John.-on told me to dress up in
his clothes, (whieh I did.) and come
over to Brownville, with William
Riley Johnson, to a .-tore where I
could make some money. When we
came over J he river, down at the
Ware House on the river bank, Wil
liam Riley Johnson was the only
per.-on with me, aud he stabbed me
with a knife, but only penetrated my
clothing. I told him to quit that and
he said he was only in fun. We then
came on up street, (he walking on
my left side,) to the corner of John)
Braudow's saloon. As we turned the
corner of Brandow's saloon, JWilliam
Riley Johnson stabbed me in my
right side with a sharp in-.tri.ment,
and I fell to the ground. I did not
see anybody at that time but two lit
tle boys, who came up to me directly
after I wis stabbed. I said, "Riley,
who is William Riley Johnson,) do
not go back on me," and I looked
around, and he was gone, and I seen
1dm run around the corner down
street. I had forty dollars in money
in my left stocking. As -0on as I
missed John.-on after I was stabbed I
felt in my stocking for my money,
lul iomul ' garter was unbuckled,
laying on the ground. My stocking
was turned down over my shoe top,
and all my money was gone. There
was no one with me all this time but
William Riley Johnson, and I did not
see him take my money. Then some
men picked me up, and took me to a
house, but do not know where it was
as I am a stranger in this town. 1
had some whiskey with me that Mr.
Johnson gave me before we left his
hou-e to come to Brownville. One of!
the ten dollar notes taken from me
had a little round hole in the lower
left hand corner. I cannot identify
any more than that above mentioned.
Johnson stabbed mein the right side
just as we turned the corner of the
saloon above mentioned, and there
was no one with me or present at the
time he stabbed me."

was postponed until Monday morn

At present writing it is uncertain-
whether the wound will prove fatal
or not. But the Prince of Wales
could not have been more zealously
attended by his Court Phy.-iciaus,
than is this poor -unfortunate by Dr.
Holladay, who in thus attending her
gives evidence of heart and soul
plethoric with the milk of human
kindness.

Editor Advertiser:
In your iesue of the 15th instant
was miblished the law recently enact-
e(l b;. the legblftture for lhe ef of
tne BrownvlIle City School District,
by authorizing an election of the
Kl votera unon the question of Issu-
'7. , '..,.. .' , .,,..
n.g miner certain icga. restrictions,
school bonds.
In order that the occasion, for this
action of the legislature may be bet-
lerunuersioo, it ispermips necessa-
ry that a statement should be made
to the public as to the financial con
dition of the district.
When the school house was com
pleted four years ago, the school
board found that Mie District was in
debt nearly 6SO0O, made up as follows:
Five thousand dollars in Dist. School
House bunds, payable $1000 per year
! for each of the ensuing five years,
with interest at ten per cent per an-
num. About $2000 borrowed money,
and about $1000 in outstanding debts
aud orders.
The Boaru-for want of means had
not been able to complete some very
much needed improvements to the
School House and premises, and it
was found that besides meeting these

creditof the District, it was necessa
na.a......n t. ......I.l l...na. ..n.l l.n '
ry to make further expenditures in
providing suitable out-houses, repairs,
fences, apparatus, tc, amounting in
all to about $2000 principally as fol
lows :
Privies, . ...
Purchase of two lots to com
plete the block, .
Fenciug, gates and stiles, .

Furniture, seats, &c,
Organ,
$1040 331
Making in addition to the debt above
named a sum nearly equal ti $10,000
for liabilities and expenditures out
side of the current expenses of the
school.
Of these there remains and due in
May next of tho
Bonds unpaid, . . . $1200 00
Due 1st National Bank for
money borrowed to pay
bondsand notefi, . . 2500 CO
And outstanding orders on
incidental fund about, . 1000 00
$4700 00
These, especially the money bor
rowed and due the bank, and the bal
ance due on bonds ought, as a matter
of econemy to be provided for.
Besides these there are certain very
much needed improvements to the
house and premises, viz:
1st. The house needs a new roof.
2d. We shall need furniture for
two additional room:-.
3d. The basement rooms to be fin
ished, and other repairs.
4th. Grading and improving the
lot.
5th. Repairing and re-arranging
the furnace and heating apparatus
and other repairs.
The District Board will find itself
greatly embarrassed, unless some pro
vision be made to meet these demands,
ft is probable that much of this em-
banassment could be relieved, if it
were practicable to collect money now ! 'I"""' llt m-v l,,,r- :imi ty induce

District has been liberal in its provis-1 w,,h- 're of, and protect any or
ion and heretofore voted whatever es- I stU ,f !"th "ruiialei-uf orciisscB,
timates were made, Net we are feeling!
jhe pinch of the hard times, as it U
felt in every other department.
But the Board is encouraged to be
lieve that the present satisfactory con
dition of our public school, will justi
fy an extra effort to sustain it, ami
advance it to a much higherstandard.
The more especially, ri tho Board
further believe that the only condi
tion necessary to the desired end is
means to sustain the School, as at
present organized, to make and keep
it what we are proud to believe it is,
the best in the.State.
