BROWNYILLE, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1873.
CAPTAIN JACK OP THE ilED 3IO
DOCS. Am "Captain Jinks."
I'm Captain Jack of the red Modocs,
Who grimly at the Government mocks,
Enthorned among the lava rocks ;
For I'm thtt pest of the army:
I've led them many a weary dance,
Weary dance, weary dance";
For a dirty, savage, red nuisance,
I'iri ah awful pest to the army.
Killing and scalping, and drinking rum,
I alwajs thought the best of fun.
Till thesoldlers came; then oil I run.
So as not to be caught bv the army.
"Don't take his home !" tlie peace-men cried.
The peace-men cried, the pence-men cried ;
And hard and fast the hands they tied
Of those cruel irien of the army.
I tolled them to my mountain lair ;
Tho pence-men led them into the snare'.
In which I managed to "take the hair"
Ofthe bravest man in the army.
The country then did wildly shout;
Did wildly shout, did wildly shout ;
"Let these Indian scoundrels he 'cleaned out'
liy tho boys in blue of the army."
I am Captrtln Jack, the Modoc red j
Around me is a fatal web
Of gleaming steel and eager lead,
In the vengeful hands of the army ;
And sabre strokoand pistol crack
Will end the life of Captain Jack,
And all the rest of the woltish pack
That have torn the braves of the army.
Written for the Advertiser.
HARD TinlES.
Ferhnps the memory of the "oldest
Inhabitant" cannot revert to tho pe
riod when it was not hard times ; but
it seems in the course of "human
events," that the times pass through
different degrees of comparison from
positive hard, comparative hard, su
perlative naruest. Ami it lias come i
to pass in these days, that everybody
in general and the farmer hi particu
lar, is complaining cf the pressure of
the times. And while the fanner ad
mits it is "positive hard," for other
people he has reached the superlative
ddgree. Something must be done,
so he, or some one or more, for some
purpose, (time will disclose that,)
has created a grange for the avowed
purpose of relief and protection to
the farmer, and he is running into
this grange for a relief from the storm.
That this refuge will give him the
protection he seeks, "this witness de-
pnseth not." Sometimes it is the part
of wisdom to
"Hear the Ills we havo.
Than lly to others that wo know not of."
The tide cf events has rushed us in
to a position where there are many
difficulties to encounter, man' bur
dens oppressive to bear. But there
are many causes which has produced
this dreaded crisis, and one who has
not closely watched events and their
eflects, can with a single coup (Vail
see where the difficulty lies, nor know
where to 11 ml a remedy. Xo mere
extemnl and temporary relief will ef
fect a cure. It wants close and care
ful financing of those who can see
through the complicated workings of
political economy. We want states
men who care more for the welfare of
the people and less for "salary grabs,"
and we must have them or our belov
ed Republic can no more live than
those Republics who3e names have
been blotted out.
One cause of hard times in Nebras
ka is a necessary result of the early
growth of a State. Territories and
States in their first years always bring
producers and comparatively few
consumers. This is a necessity. Soon
the fruitful soil and faithful tiller
thereof produce a supply too great for
home demand. Tho next step to be
taken seems to be to furnish foreign
demand. But here comes in the dif-
fMcultles. How to reach the foreign
markets without consuming a greater
part of the products is often a diffi
cult question. It is out of this vexed
I problem the grange for the farmer has
come forth. It proposes to open a
way for the farmer to dispose of the
products of his labor without con
suming all of it. But sometimes in
removing an evil other evils are cre
ated, making "the last state worse
than the first."
Whether the removing of these
"middle-men" or agencies between
the producer and a foreign market
will really benefit the fanner, is a
question to be seriously considered.
Whether it is a good policy to destroy
towns and break tip merchants and
mechanics near home, and build up
wealthy mercantile establishments at
a distance, is a question for the farm
ers to think of seriousl-. Middle
men, agencies between the producer
and his market ; merchants, grocers
and mechanics are consumers, and it
Is consumers the farmer needs. It is
not good policy to lessen these num
bers, and perhaps by so doing increase
producers.- The point to be reached
now is to h:ivo the consumer give an
equivalent for the products of the
former.
It is all nonsense to talis so loud and
1
long in giving such great importance
to the labor of tho producer, and such
very little importance to the labor of
the consumer; one is needed as much
as the other. One furnishes the raw
material, the other converts it into
machinery, utensils, mechanisms and
fabrics for the comfort and happiness
of men. It is only when consumers
become idlers and drones, they are to
be denounced. That there is any
class of business men with concerted
plans to swindle the farmer out of his
hard earnings, is all hallucination.
While it is true he is often swindled
bj' designing business men, but it is
in the general rush and grab for gaiu
without considering the honest of
the means of getting it. There is one
way in which the business men of
villages and cities havo over-reached
the farmer and out-witted him. Busi
ness men usually set up an extrava
gant style of living, and then put a
profit on their goods to meet the de
mands of this style, while the farmer
must accommodate his style of Irving
to any price he may chance to get for
his produce. This is not equal justice.
The great question with the farmers
yy
gr'r-T - -
now is, what shall he do with the
products of his farm so as to give him
a fair living remuneration for his la
bor? This can bo done only by ere1
ating more home industries, by en
couraging manufactures which will
work up into objects of beauty and
usefulness, this surplus of supply for
which there is so slow a demand, and
to bring out the mineral wealth
which lies concealed in tho earth, and
convert it into swift-winged messen
gers of good to men.
Is it wise to convey iron in the ore
from the United States to England,
there to be drawn into bars and sent
back at less cost than it can bti done
here, because it is done there by pau
per labor? Shame on such political
craft! Shame on such silly states
menship! This is wronging the
working classes on both sides of the
water. Better bring out some of those
men and women ofthe old countries,
who aro working at starvation prices,
in a population so dense that an emi
gration would be a blessing to those
who leavo and to those who aro left,
and bring them to the shores of Amer
ica to fill unoccupied work-shops, and
start the hum of the manufaeturies,
which would give employment and a
pleasant home" to thousands who are
now in poverty and want, and use up
the bountiful' supply of the farmer
for which there is so little demand.
Tho great secret of prosperity of a
people is in regulating harmoniously
demand and supply. This very de
sirable condition can be reached only
when men have attained to political
wis'iom enough to cast away all aris
tocraticril flummery and Holly, and be
willing to lead frugal and temperate
lives. Nature, although she provides
bountiful for all, never makes pro
vision for extravagance and waste in
any of her children.
The farmers' grange might be a
means of much good socially",' and in
tellectually, by bringing the people
together in intelligent recreation, un
bending the mind from the pressure
of incessant labor, and an inter
change of views in regard to the best
methods of promoting the interostsof
agricultural pursuits. If tins good can
be effected without evils being created
to over-balance it, a good thing in

Poor 1xit Iloncat.
A- rich bioker in San Frrincfsco
lately made a desperate effort to pre
ventThis pretty daughter from mar
rying a 111:11: who mended harness" at
S60 a month. Tlie girl loved the man.
and seemed determined to go ahead
with the business of true love. The
broker offered the harness mender
SI, 000 to desert his daughter forever.
Tho young man refused the bribe as
no equivalent for his claim. He then
went to tlie young man's employers
and tried to' get them to discharge
him. They could not think of doing
this, as he was a good, faithful fellow,
and gave entire .satisfaction so the
old broker didn't know what to do
next. His daughter helped him out
of his uncertainty, but plunged him
into tieeper trouble than he had ever
known. She disappeared one day,
and search for her proved unavailing.
In two or three days traces of tlie
miss-inn girl were found in the office
of a Justice of the Peace. There was
a record there of her marriage with
the faithful harness-mender. The
hroker draped his house in mourning
according to the custom of his relig
ion, and, of cour-c, regards bis
daughter as dead. She immediately
found a place as a saleswoman in a
millinery store at $45 a month, and
$45 and SGI make $110, thich is not
so bad a figure after all for a young
married couple to cut. It is just the
sort of beginning that founds a happy
home, into which mother-in-laws are
not apt to enter with their disturbing
influences, and fathers do not break
through and steal their daughter?
away.
Good luck rather than good man
agement has probably saved the
White Star Line from another serious
disaster. Tlie Oceanic started on Sat
urday for Liverpool, and one of her
tyliiiders happened to crack before
slie passed Sandy Hook, requiring
her return to port in order to repair
the damage. This accident might
have occurred in mid-ocean without
resulting in anything very serious,
but it also might have placed the
steamer in peril, sf, being thu3 par
tially disaheled, she had encountered
very heavy weather. It is generally
supposed that ocean steamers are
thoroughly overhauled when in port
for the purpose of repairing any dam
ago which may have been done du
ring tho voyage, and it is presumed
that such a defect as an imperfect
cylinder might have been discovered
during this process. The fact that a
crack was found before the ship had
gone a ecore of miles, rises grave
doubts whether she had received that
attention in port which prudence de
manded. While the managers are
making the needed investigation on
this point they should also calculate,
from their standpoint, how often the
unueu oiates mans are to De delayed
by their ships being found unseawor
tby befor6 they get to sea.

RUMORS OF THE POSTAL CARDS.
Great Demand for the Cnrds Ilovr
TJiey Are Used Here anrt la Kng
laadi From theN. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The entire batch of 375,000 of the
new penny postul cards was sold yes
terday before 4 o'clock, and to-day the
demand ia still very great and general,
another batch having been received
during the night Postmaster James
has made a requisition on the depart
ment for a batch of one million, as
various firms havo applied for the
cards by the thousands.
In England, when these Cards were
introduced, the chief purpose for
which they were used was for jokes
and sells ; but the inventive mind of
the New Yorker discovered they were
a good medium for advertising, and a
postoflice official declares that a ma
jority of those put into the mail yes
terday bore on the message aide an
advertisement in some cases writ
ten, and some printed. The postal
card is a cheap way to issue a circu
lar, and as such it will doubtless bo
soon extensively used.
The card is certainly a great con
venience for the transmission of hasty
messages; but, until the novelty of
their introduction has passed, they
will be used chiefly as an advertising
medium and for joking purposes.
Broad street is literally flooded with
them this morning. "Some were so
devoid of sense as to simply send the
blank card with theaddres3. A few
ventured on messages which will not
hear repeating, aud a broker, receiv
ing one such, said ho supposed "the
Cards could be .called tho indelicaces
of the season." Most of the cards
were in the nature of alleged tailors,
washerwomen's, and boarding-house
bills : and. doubtless, a barbed joke
was lauuciied tins way. Itipigrams
and rhymes was a mode resorted to
by many ; and a good deal of dogger
el was doubtless promulgated. In
fact, so far as we can learn, with the
exceptions of those who used them
for advertising purposes, tho cards
were employed as the medium of
joking messages. A phonographic
reporter connected with the press sent
a long letter in pot-hook, nnd marked
spider-like hieroglyphics, to a friend
in Philadelphia
It will be well if Postmaster James
follows the example of Postmaster
Booth of Brooklyn, in prohibiting
the delivery of any cards, of an inde
cent or libel- us nature. In London a
recent important slander case has
hinged upon a postal card, which,
bearing remarks damaging to her
character from an unknown source,
was received b' a j'oung lady, and
was traced by a comparison of hand
writing to a discarded suitor, who
was at once arrested on a charge of
slander, of which, if we are not mis
taken, be was convicted. Tt is said
that one ofthe first to use the card as
an advertising medium in England
was a well-known actor, noted for his
practical joking, who availed himself
of this mode to infoim every mana
ger in the United Kingdom of his
cards.
The postal card is a nationality, and
it will be played with for a few days
before its convenience and usefulness
will bo discovered.

KELLOG'S FRIGHT.
What one ofhis Friend. AilvlfccH IHfi
to dO.
The New Orleans Plcayttnc gives
the following graphic account of the
conduct of Kellogg after the attempt
made to assassinate him :
"After the crack of the whip or the
pistol shot, or whatever it was that
frightened Kellogg last evening, he
jumped into his carriage, and was
driven at a furious rate to the Saint
Charles Hotel. Kellogg got out, and
in a very nervous manner, and as pale
fas n gnont, inquired for Mr. Bob K;v
ers, the proprietor of the hotel. When
lie came Kellogg seized him by tliO
arm in a very excited manner, and
hurried him into Rivers' back office.
His first words were:
"Mr. Rivers, I am in great trouble."
Mr. River "What is the matter?"
Kellogg "I have been shot at. I
don't know what I have done that
this people should desiro to take my
life. What shall I do? Oh, what
shall I do?" clasping his hands over
his eyes in extremo agitation.
Rivers "I'll tell you what. I would I
do if were in your place: t would
pack up trunk and leave the city at
once. The people don't want you
here."
Kellogg "Itow can I get away
with safety? I have tried to do my
best for this people. Why should
they desire to kill me?"
Mr. Rivers "No, Governor, you
have not done your beat; you have
deceived every man who" has placed
any confidence in your word. You
promised several gentlemen in my
presence that if ever you become
Governor you would not commission
that negro Brown as superintendent
of public education. You had not
been in the office 1:2 minutes before
you had commisioned him. Be
sides, you ought to know best our-
self whether you were elected Gov. (
or not, but you must be satisfied now
that you are not even' the choice of
the negroes, and every white, man in
the State repudiates you. You have
everything that men fight for in this
world. You have wealth and talent
and you are a man of f .mily. Be sat
isfied and don't try to govern a peo
ple who hate -oti. You havo escaped
this time, but this Is not the only at- I
tempt which Is likely to be made up-
ton your Hie. anti pernaps you may
not escape in the future."
After some further conversation.
Kellogg sent for some deputy mar
shals or police and was driven to (en.
Emery's headquarters
A sage Piute has enlighteded a Ne
vada newspaper writer as to hi plan
for disposing of the Modocs. He said
that it was "no good" to fight them
with guns, and that the way the Pi-
lutes would fix them would be to in
form them ti'nt they wanted to have
a big talk with them. Then when
thev came to have the talk all would
be seated in a circle, each Piute with
fa Modoc at his left hand. Each Pi
ute would manage to have a big stone
within reach or in his pocket. The
big talk would proceed until a signal
wa3 given, when each Piute would
seize hold of the right wrist of his
Modoc neighbor wih his left hand,
and then with his right would grasp
his rock and smash in the Modoc's
skull, "no gun. no knife." said he,
"kill 'em all with rock."

The Nebraska Trade.
From tho St. Louis Olobo, May 11.
A few days since wo took occasiou
to review the railroad situation in Ne
braska, and its teudeucy to divert the
graiu and trade of that State to Chi
cago. Until the Atchison aud Ne
braska road was built from Atchison
to Lincoln, through the Nomaha val
ley, the chief dependence of St. Louis
for the trade of that section was the
Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs
road, which, being located along the
eastern bank of the Missouri River,
was at a great disadvantage in com
peting for Nebraska business with
roads running from Chicago and ter
minating on the eastern bauk, or
making connections with roads ou the
western side of the river that pene
trated the interior of the State. Up
on the completion of tho Atchison
& Nebraska road It at once obtained
a largo business, as It poiuts directly
to St. Loul and runs through ono o"f
tho richest graln-rallng valleys In
Nebraska. It does not extend far
enough, however, to be of the most
service to St. Louis or its owners, aud
should be extended at the earliest
practicable moment to Fremont,
where it will connect with tho Elk
Horn Valley railroad and draiu the
rich valley of that stream, as well as
tho Nemaha, to St. Louis.
But this Is not sufficlout to com
pote with Chicago : we need more
roads than this, and we need them on
tho west side of the river. St. Louis
should reach the trado before it is
once started on its way to Chicago,
for afterwards it must always bo found
difficult to divert it to this olty. A
railroad to Omaha will be exceeding
ly beneficial to St. Louis, both ou ao
count of the rich country through
which it will run in Missouri and
Iowa, and the trado It will receive at
Omaha, but for the reasons stated It
can never be of the servico In con
trolling tho Nebraska trade that rods
will bo that roach the trado in tho In
terior of the State.
For some 3ears past thoro has ex
isted in Nebraska a corporation,
know as the St. Louis aud Tobrapka
Trunl Railroad Company,, tlio object
of which is to build a road along tho
western bank of tho river, from Oma
ha to the South line of tho State,
where it would connect with the
Atchison and Nebraska road, but so
far that company havo not.succeeded
in doinganything further than secure
subsidies in tho counties through
which it is proposed to build. Saint
Louis aid has frequently been solicit
ed for this road, but for some reason
It has never been given. Lately it
has assumed a new aspect. A dis
patch from Lincoln, a few days ago,
announced that the Midland Pacific
Railroad interest had determined to
build this road from Nobraska City to
a point opposite St. Joe. The Midland
Paclfio interest isiniimatoly connect
ted with the Pennsylvania Central
interest, and owns a lino of road from
Nebraska City through Lincoln to
Seward, from whence it Is proposed
to build two branches ono to a con
nection with tho Union Pacific at
Grand Island, and auother through
Northern Nebraska b' way of Colum
bus. The same interest also owns tho
Brownvillo and Ft. Kearney road,
whioh runs from Brownvillo west,
and is, or soon will bo, completed to
Tccumseh, on tho Atchison aud Ne
braska road. These roads havo no
eastern connections, except those be
longing t6 the Joy interest, which Is
hostile to them.
St. Louis can take advantago of
this situation to her great profit.
Could she secure the speedy building
of the St. Louis and Nebraska Trunk
road from Omaha to the south Ne
braska lino, it will give her the trado
of the oldest and richest part of Ne
braska. It will also tap all tho Chi
cago roads running into tho State on
the west side of tho river, whoro it
can take the trade, saving tho cost of
transfer, which will give it great ad
vantages in this respect o'ver any ex
isting line. If this line could also bo
made to divorge from tho river at tho
Kansas line, and run directly south
tliTough the second tier of counties
from the river in Kansas, striking In
at L'twrence or Kansas City, It will
develop a further rich trado not now
sufficiently supplied with railroads.
With the high tariffs of grain, a
stock business is being developed in
the country through which this road
would run, both in Kansas aud Ne
braska. Farmers obtain cattle at
Wichita, Ellsworth anil Kansas City
in the fall to feed through the winter,
and when spring comes send them to
market as beef cattle. A gentleman
residing at Nebraska City, and on
gaged in this business, informed us a
fow days ago that at least ten thou
sand head of cattle wcro thus fed In
Otoe county last winter, while In oth
er counties an equal or larger trimber
were fed. He stated further that all
these cattle had been or aro being
shipped to Chicago, mainly because
the transportation facilities to that
city aro better than St. Louis. This
trade has come into existence within
the past two or three years; it is but
in its infancy, and is destined to be
come ono of the leading Interests of
the country during tho next few
j'ears. It is a trado that must depend
on rail.transpoitation, and cannot be
controlled, like the grain trado, by
tba'rge .navigation on the Missouri riv
er, nence. the importance of this
road to St. Louis.
An Ottawa (Canada) business man,
who lives in one of a row of bouses on
Dally street, got slightly fu tidied the
other night, and instead of going to
his own house walked confidently up
to the door of his neighbor's and ranic
the bell boldly. The inmates having
retired, his summons was not very
t speedily answered, and the whisky-
lieu individual began to get outrage
ously demonstra ive. This soon
1 brought the owner of the house to the
door, when the pot-valJiant and now
highly irate individual, being con
fronted, at hi3 own threshold as ha
supposed, b an entire stranger,
seized the unfortunate owner by the
coat collar and lauded him Sftn.3 cere
monie in the stn et. He then locked
the door and proceeded up stairs, but
not finding things in their accustom
ed places he finally succeeded in
lighting a match, when to his horror
he discovered that he was not in his
own house ! This sobered him some
what, and hastily retreating down
stairs he made his exit, just in time to
escape a thrashing from the enraged
I proprietor, who had eitected an en
trance by tlie back door.
A wng tvas jogging home father
late,. and,a little Ic'ppyt when, pass
ing, by a dark clley, a large, two-fisted
fellow stepped out. and seizing him by
the. collar, demanded his money.
"Money !" said the wag, "mouey ! I

From the Kansas City Times.
Appropos of the Bender tragedy
memory recalls a-similar incident tlmt
happened years ago in South Caroln
na, which, no doubt, eomo of your
readers will recollect rather viyidly.
Ou tho road between Charleston
aud Columbia used to boa largo hotel
or etago stand, which was ono day
bought by an English gentleman and
lady of very refluod addresa aud elof
gaut appearance. It was somewhat
commented upou that thev should
seok such apublioand cathef distaste
ful place aud business ; but ooriiJoont
soon subsided aud things rocked aloug
In their usual way. Soon, howovbr
travelers began to unaccountably dis
appear, and despite tho diligent
search of friends, could not bo fcasd.
Business prospered with, tho Eng"
llshman, and a bettor and more ac
commodating place could be found
nowhere. For sovoral years it thus
coutiuuod, aud though sorrowing
frlouds mourned tho loss of mauy
members of their respective far2l.'?g,
no trace of them or tho causo of tboir
disappearance could bo found. Ontf
night as tho moon sailed Into tho
hoavons, a passongor. who had stop
ped at tho stage stand for tho night,
was awoke by the light of thb mx3ri
pourlug lu through his window. Per
haps ho felt a little uneasy, too, as htf
had a. largo sum of monov in a bolt
about his persou. H woko not too
soon, for, by tho light, ho saw a. shad-'
ow or form, on its knees, crawling to
ward his bed ; ho grasped a pistol ho
had, and springing upright In bed,
aimed It directly at tho object and
called a halt. What further passed
noue over knew, for ho would uovoif
tell. However, ho escaped with hte
Ufo. but the report was rumorod. tha
It was uusafo to stop at tho "Half-'
way House." This aroused the neigh
borhood ; a servant was caught and
whipped till he oonfessed enough to
satisfy all that this was tho, ,fialf or"'
tho whole way House' of death. The
parties were arrested, tho house saok
ed, and down In tho collar or .ba3e-,
ment, was found the proof positive of '
guilt. Sovontsen bodies, some mere
ly the bones, woro unearthed and
recognized as tho ones who bed so
mystoriously disappeared.
Money, money, "the root of all
evil." was found hoarded away, and
little valuables were claimed by the;
deceased one's frlouds. With cool
Impudence and bravado, Hauteur
tried to exculpate himself and his
wlfo; deomod women too precious td
swing for any crime ; but justloo cenfr
them into the air as high as Hainan,
and. with rejoicing, the people saw
