Remember the Festival on Thurs
day evening.
The protracted meetings are still
being continued at the M. E. Church
with good success.
Read the communication in anoth
er column upon the subject of ex
emptions. Our correspondent gives
us an insight into the practical effect
of our present exemptions, which is
more than an answer to all the fine
spun sophi-try advanced by the Om
aha Rt publican and other papers in
the .State supporting them, even tho'
the articles come from the pen of one
of the "best thinkers in the State."
The Teeumseh Herald thus "dishes
up" our editor ami the Advertiser:
Major CaflVe3 editor of tlie Brown
ville AnvERTishit. favored us with a
call on Saturday la-t. The Major is
enrolling clerk of the State Senate,
and took advantage of the Legislative
'recess to have some recreation and
like a man of good judgment, that he
is came to Teeumseh. The Adver
tiser is one of tlie best established
and well-conducted papers in the
State.
Festival. The ladies ami friends
of the M. E. Church will give a fes
tival this (Thursday) evening, in Mc
Pherson Hall, for the bei.efit of Rev.
W. B. Slaughter. The tables will be
laden with the best of the season, the
Brass Baud will be in attendance and
a grand time is anticipated. Tickets
of admission, GO cents, which in
cludes supper. All the friends are
cordially invited to attend. Tickets
can be had by calling at Tisdel &
Richards', McCreery & Nickell's, G.
B. Moore's or Bratton & Snyder's.
The Democrat accuses us of being
"mischevious" in telling tales out of
school, and throws "Christmas Splin
ters" at us as a rich joke. We hope
that tho Democrat does not so "hold
our valor light" as to suppose that by
throwing splinters only, we will "run
like a Whitehead." We stand at bay.
Your rich diet about the holidays and
since, must have caused a mental il
lusion upon the subject of splinters.
Remember the "green spectacles."

abled to keep his. cow on shavings.
The cry of fire rang through our
streets on Sunday afternoon, and a
large crowd was soon gathered at the
"brick block," from the roof of which
dense volumes of smoke were seen to
issue. The keys not being at hand
several doors were broken to give ac
cess to the roof, when it was discover
ed to be but a burning chimney. -The
notoriously imperfect construction of
the Hues in this building, and its
Magnitude and importance to our city,
renders the most insignificant cause
for alarm the source, of a panic.
Should a fire gain any headway in
this building we could do nothing, in
the absence of any facilities for put
ting out a fire, but to save such goods
as could bo hastily removed,. These
things ought not so to be.
Bain wagon the best.

Rev. Mr. Bolton preached in the
M. E. Cliurch last Friday evening.
Miss Alice Bench, who has been vis
iting at Nebraska Citj' for several
weeks, returned to this city last week.
Our friend Dora Hacker tells us that
his family has lieen poisoned by wild
ivy upon the wood he has been using
for fuel. Prompt medical attendance
is giving relief.
Gus. Moore, the well known
"knight of the yardstick" in the
house of Theodore Hill & Co.. left
the citv on Tuesday lust. He will
take up his abode in St. Joe, for a sea
son. We commend him to the cour
tesies of the people of that city.
II. 0. Minick. Esq., sought us out
several days ago. He defends the ac
tion of the board of county commis
sioners in the matter of the B. Ft. K.
& P. It. R., as will be seen by his card
in another column. He says that
when the road is built as per the
terms of the proposition the bonds
will be issued without delay or defal
cation. Time will not be insisted up
on if the company only show good
faith in building the road. We think
that Dr. Converse or bis representa
tives need have no fear in this direc
tion. For a good time go to the festival at
the Hall on Thursday evening.
We attended the public reading en
tertainment given at McPherson's
Hall by Rev. J E. Roberts, R. D., on
last Thursday evening. We were
very much astonished at the power
which Mr. Roberts exhibited as an
elocutionist. His ease and grace be
fore his audience, a masterly com
prehension of the narrative, and the
spirit of his execution, rendered his
entertainment one that could not fail
to be highly appreciated by all who
heard him. The rendering of "The
Raven" and "The Dream of Eugeue
Aram" we thought particularly fine,
and evinced a wonderful familiarity
with the construction of the poems,
and a lively conception of the true
spiiit that enters into them,. No one
who appreciates entertainments of a
literary character, should lose an op
portunity of hearing a reading by Mr.
Roberts.
L. Lowman will receive a new sup
ply of calico in a few days.
A bar of soap with the compli
ments of Ben B. Thompson, proprie
tor of the Nemaha Valley Soap
Works, of this city was left on our
table on Tuesdaj. Mr. Thompson al
so kindly informs us that he will ex
change soap for soap grease, and sup
ply the market generally. Now we
don't know whether Mr. Thompson
means to signify tl.athe would like
to secure our corpus for soap grease,
or that we have any special need for
his manufactures. We shall peremp
torily decline all negotiations with
Mr. Thompson looking toward that
disposition of ourself, and if the lat
ter be his insinuation we shall take
the matter under advisement. In the
meantime will some one fetch us a
subject to test this soap.
The Band will be in attendance at
the Festival on Thursday evening.
We understand that there are some
circumstances leading to the supposi
tion that a man was drowned in the
river during the snow storm last
week. A Swede whose name we have
not learned, was expected last Wedn
esday from Omaha by his wife. lit
is said to have left the train at Phelps,
and a cry was heard on the river du
ring the night. These ciicunistauces,
together with his nonarrival, have
led to the conclusion that he had fal
len through the ice at the point where
ice lias been removed to fill the ice
hou-se below town.
Several cows have fallen through
the ice at this point, and it is well
known to be a very dangerous place.
Would it not be well for the peisons
interested in the removal of the ice
to put up some guard about the place
that life and property may not be haz
arded ? The negligence in tiiis regard
can scarcely be considered less than
criminal.

FJIOM PAWNEE CITY,
Snoir Storm J. C. Peary Returned
Fatal Accident, Etc., Etc.
Pawnee City, Neb.,
Jan. 22, 1873. J
Editor Nebraska Advertlben
It is now, 9 a. si., and it has been
snowing briskly since long before
daylight. From the direction (NE.)
of the wind, which is blowing only a
moderate breeze, and other things
considered, the prospect is quite cer
tain for a considerable depth of snow
before the storm ceases. This, fall
ing on a softened and moist soil, will.
unless it drifts badly, be excellent for
winter-wheat, which, up to the pres
ent time, seems to have done well in
this section.
Our absconded neighbor, J. C. Pea
vy, has, at length, returned, and is
now with his family here. What he
has accomplished, financially ot .oth
erwise, during his absence, I have no
means of knowing. He seems quite
reticent in regard to his own history
for the past two years, He looks as
near like the same J. C. P. who left
here over two years ago, as it is possi
ble to imagine. It is understood that
he was robbed in' Chicago, after he
sold his cattle, and could not bear the
idea of returning to Pawnee to plead
the loss of such an enormous sum,
without being able to replace it.
On Friday evening last, Mr. John
Currie, formerly a citizen of Pawnee
county, was brought in a corpse, from
Nuckolls county, Nebraska, where he
had taken, and was improving a
homestead. It seems he had been
out hunting with some neighbors,
and on his return home, in passing a
friend's bouse, where he had borrow
ed a gun, while taking it from the
wagon to return it to the owner, it
was accidentally discharged both
barrels, we understand lodging two
charges of shot in his left breast,
which killed him almost instantly.
Two of his neighbors there, brought
his corpse here to place it in the care
of his two sisters, he being, compara
tively among strangers in Nuckolls
county.

The item of the rejxrt of yester

which mentions tlie fact that. Tipton

from the fact that it contains the first

The brick church built by the Epis-

copalian denomination is sadly in
need of repairs. This building is an
honor and a eredit to the town, and
all are mutually interested in this
matter. Fifty or seventy-five dollars
judiciously expended now will save to
us a building worth from $1,500 to
$2,000. Who will start in this mat
ter? It should be done before the
winds of March and the spring rains
occur.
Rev. N. C. Robinson, of the
Presbyterian denomination, District
Secretary of the Board of Home Mis
sions for southwestern Iowa and Ne
braska, again spentSaturday and Sab
bath in this place, speaking on Satur
day eve and Sabbath morning and
evening. Mr. Robinson is a gentle
man of deep culture and scholarly at
tainments, and an earnest laborer in
the vineyard of the Master. The
vestry of the Episcopal Church kind
ly tendered the use of their house,
which pulpit he occupied during his
stay with us.
Our friend Jot is really one of the
best natured fellows in town, and
slings a spicy quill, but sometimes
zealous of home interests. He is in
advertently led to say unkind things
of his warmest friends. We regret
the tone of his article in last week's
Democrat relative to A. D. Williams,
D. D., (late Principal State Normal
School.) No man has ever been
among us more highly appreciated
than Dr. Williams. Experienced,
able, scholarly, with rare executive
abilities, thoroughly capable and ef
ficient as an instructor, and withal a
genial conversationalist and possess
ing the finest social qualifications.
We cannot believe that a mind so tru
ly noble, a heart so warm and true to
every educational enterprise can stoop
to the work of embarrassing a State
institution by misrepresentation or
otherwise. To differ from the pres
ent management in his ideal of a
State Normal School, the manner of
appointment of its board is as much
his privilege as it would be to com
mend the same. But that Dr. Wil
liams is working in antagonism with
what he deems the best interests
of the school, we cannot believe for a
moment, never. We are sorry Jot
says what he does about the kindness
of the Directory of the State Normal
School to the Doctor. Air if his asser
tion be true that the Doctor was invi
ted to resigu his position, coupling it
with facts for which we have evidence
rendering it alike patent to all, we are
forced to draw unpleasant conclu
sion'.. We were told by Dr. Williams
that he had abundant assurance of
his re-employment only a few weeks
before his resignation, in evidence of
which additional improvements were
made upon his property, an addition
al building erected for his residence,
involving an outlay which we know
he would not have made had he no
ex peeled to remain. Can it lie that
after these inducements were held out
to him, that the faith of the board
was violated and the Doctor invited
to resign? It does not seem probable
that he has financial interests here
connected with the school, and which
would be imperiled by its removal, is
conclusive evidence to us that the
Doctorcannotbe"fightingtheschool"
nor "throwing cold water" upon its
interests.

Press-onward as the leadingsalesman,

tenance. Capt. Joe Nanson, of Nanson,
Bartholow & Co.. was in town last
week. He says he has arrangements
made to complete the Trunk line by a
tri-weekly line of packets between
East Nebraska City and St. Joe. Tlys
will be a grand outlet for the surplus
of this county, insuring us lower
freight rates than if we had railroads
complete through our borders.
That too much strong drink is
used in Peru is a lamentable fact.
Where is it procured ? Jot, in the last
issue of the Democrat, gives publicity
to that which has loi.g been rife as
private gossip. We haveoften thought
that perhaps our druggists were un
justly accused, but if so, thejT are un
der obligations to the above corres
pondent for the opportunity of re
futing these accusations. The course
is now plain to leave no stone unturn
ed until the public are fully sati-fied
that neither the.letler nor the spirit
of the iUW is violated in the vending
of spirituous liquors by our druggists.
Assertion is not proof. W. A. J.
suggests that Jot, in his eastern tour
two yeais since, traveled under aa as
sumed name in Missouri, selling coun
terfeit whiskey receipts. We have
long known Capt. D. S. Snyder, and
cannot believe that he would engage
in such a disgraceful, contemptible,
not to say criminal enterprise. We
cannot see how this assertion assists
atr.ll in the vindication of Mr. Daily.
The insurance question now un

the real facts in the case are, inMir

"What Is tlie "Credit Moblller!"
This question continues to be asked.
J in suite nf I hf ruituiitr.fi uviiliiiinlifiiiw
already given. The inaide history of
thit combination which availed its-
self of an old act of incorporation pas
sed by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
and organized under the French fi
nancial designation now so notorious,
is related in an affidavit of one of its
members. Dr. Thomas C. Durant, of
which the following is a brief sum
mary :
When the Union Paiific road was
under construction a "ring" was
formed inside the direction, embracing
as such a combination always does,
the shrewdest, most active, and least
scrupulous of the Board, for the pur
pose of making large fortunes for its
members in an illegitimate manner,
at the cost of the road and of the un
suspecting stockholders. As usual,
the object was to be achieved by
means of construction contracts
Through the votes of the "ring" the
work was to he awarded in a lump to
some dummy contractor, at a price
double or more than double the cost,
with a fair profit added ; for, as a
great many capacious appetites had
to be satisfied, an ample margin was
nece-sary. The contractor was then
to make over the contract to the
"ring" Directors, in the capacity of
stockholder of the Credit Mohilier.
the pretense being that the Credit
Mohilier bad th means to puh the
work vigorously forward, and woul-i
be better able to do so than any sin
gle indiv dual. In pursuance of this
conspiracy for it was nothing eNe
the contract for the constructions of a
largp portion of the mad at fifty thou
sand dollars a ml'e wa awarded and
duly assigned to the "ring" a price
which, according to Dr. Durant's
statement, was more than double the
legitimate cost of the work. This,
however was not enough. By the
votes of the conpiratois miinv miles
of the road which had already been
constructed and accepted by the
United States Government a com
plete, and which had nearly all been
paid for by the Union Pacific Compa
ny", were included in the contract at
fifty thousand dollars a mile, and
thus an enormous amount of money
was taken bodily, as it were, out of
the pokets of the stockholders, with
out a shadow of justifies-! inn, nnd
