was gratefully received by a swelter

this burg.
The penalty for shooting a pig

Warden Campbell, of the Ne

Lincoln last week. His loss will be
severely felt by his many friends, and
to his family it Is irreparable.
The Sioux and Pawnees had a
fight the other day, between Black

The Sioux whipped all the Pawnees
save one hundred. Those they kill

The word Grange is derived from
the Latin word Granlum, which
means a farm witlrall its outfit, build
ings, lots and fields. The name is
considered more appropriate than
club or lodge.
We have received, through the
kindness of Wm. A. Gwyer, Assist
ant Superintendent of the State
Board of Immigration, a new map of
Nebraska, printed by Collum & Co.,
of New York. It Is very handsome
ly executed and apparently correct.
We can understand why ladies
wear palpitators, saw-dust calves, hus
tles, chignons, and other attachments,
but why they wear trails, while street
walking, is beyond our ken, unless it
be to trip men up. As side-walk and
street crossing cleaners they .are a
success, however.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
complimentary card to the St. Joseph
Industrial Exposition and Agricul
tural Fair, to be held from the 20th of
September to the 4th of October. The
arrangements are of the most com
plfte order, and the Exposition will
be the grandest affair ever held in the
Northwest.
It is a lie that we told either Tom
Majors or Church Howe that we did
not refer to them in our Grange arti
cle. We have not seen Tom Majors
since our retnrn from the East, and
Church Howe knows that our por
trait did not in the least resemble
him. The man who wrote the lie was
not so informed, he bimply lied.
A few days since some of our
young men went out on 3 ohicken
hunt and came back laden with game.
Desiring to supply their friends with
the proceeds of the trip, and not hav
ing cards upon which to write the ad
dresses, they took from off their necks
the paper collars which enveloped
them and made address cards of them.
Last week we announced that a
captured horse thief of Atchison
county, Mo., had, in confessing his
own guilt, implicated several promi
nent citizens of the county. We no
tice that the Bockport papers say
nothing about it. We hoped that the
editors of the Journal and JEJxpress
were not of tho3e under the ban of
suspicion, but fear the worst.
The pork prospect for the com
ing fall and winter promises good.
Murphy, Brownville's pork packer,
has already engaged a goodly number
contracting for a large quautity at $4
per 100. Mr. Murphy designs push
ing his establishment to its fullestex
tent next fair and winter, and will be
prepared to give the very highest
market price for hogs. We believe he
is now advancing money on eon
tracts. M. W. Dean, late of San Diego,
whom we knew a decade since, when
he lived in Ft. Madison, Iowa, and
we published the old Plain Dealer,
spent three or four days with us the
past week. The old gentleman is now
residing in St. Louis, with his son
Al. Dean, of the popufar commission J
house of Eaten & Dean. Though
past 65 Mr. D. Is as genial and lively
as a boy of IS years. Long may he
live to enjoy the fortune he has
amassed.
A committee of ladies are can
vassing the city this vteek. to procure
places of entertainment for visitors to
the Musical Convention. Every fam
ily so circumstanced as to make it
possible should do something in that
benalf. No extra trouble needbe in
curred .on behalf of the guests any
further than the addition to' the fami
ly would require. We bespeak for
the committee a liberal nrornise of
that hospitality in which we are con
vinced our citizens are not wanting.

Geo. S. Dunn has bought out
Geo. B. Moore and that gentleman
will hereafter consolidate the book

known by all our people as a man of
energy and business tact, and we be
speak for him a generous patronage.
It will be cheapest for visitors to
the Musical Convention to purchase
terra tickets, which are good for ev
ery session including the concerts.
They may be had this week of T. L.
Schick, Secretary, and J. B. Docker,
Treasurer, and after that time at the
drug and book stores. It is desired to
dispose of as many this week as pos
sible so that final arrangements with
reference to the concerts can be made
early next week.
Nemaha County Grangers In Conncll.
On lastSaturday the Nemaha Coun.
ty Grangers met in council at Grand
Prairie School House. The Constitu
tion and By-Laws of the Order were
amended. The county organization
was completed and pro tem officers
elected, who shall serve until the an
nual meeting which occurs on the
first Tuesday In September, to be held
at London. The Grangers resolved
to take no part, as Grangers, in the
coming fall campaign.
The proceedings were ordered pub
lished in this journal, but up to the
hour of going to press we have not
been provided with them.
Few firms enjoy such a liberal share
of public confidence as does that of
Tisdel &, Richards, and none are more
deserving of it. Fair, square dealing
is the only principle upon which they
transact business. Their store is re
plete with everything in the line of
hardware aud -tinware, while their
warehouse and yard Is full of agricul
tural implements and attach men t.
In their employ is Henry Hart, who
as a tinsmith stands without peer or
rival in the State. In this connec
tion we should add that on last Sat
urday Tisdel & Richards received a
lot of Aultman & Taylor's Threshing
Machines which have been so long
aud eagerly sought by our Agricul
turists. A ohange of some magnitude will
bo made necessitated this year in the
board of teachers for our city schools,
by the resignation of three of them.
Miss McNaughton Mls3 Cretors aud
Miss Bell. We regret 'that these la
dies have decided not to return this
year as they have met with most ad
mirable success, each in her depart
ment. Miss Abernetli3rof Rookford III.
has been engoged, we are informed to
take the place of Miss McNaughton,
but whether the other vacancies have
been filled we are not advised. Mrs.
Ebright, Miss Muir and Miss John
ston, it is understood, will remain.
Prof. J. J. Kimball, the basso so
loist who has been engaged to assist
Prof. Perkins at the Musical Conven
tion, is said to be one of the finest
basso singers in the country. From
these two with Prof. Schmidt, their
pianist, we may expect some unuBU
al exhibitions of musical abilities.
These gentlemen are all connected
with the Leavenworth Normal Musi
cal School, and thoroughly under
stand each other.

parts of ten weeks each.
THE NEW BULLDTNa

large and convenient.
THE BOABDING HAIIi.
The old building has been thorough
ly renovated and papered throughout,'

bedstead and chairs', and the chapel
converted into dining hall, kitchen,

will be specially attractive.
The prospects for a large attendance

T. J. MORGAN,

SInstcal Convention.
The convention of musical talent,
amateur and professional, which has
been spoken of for some time, will be
held in this city next week, com
mencing: on Tuesday. We wish to
impress upon our readers the advan
tages of patronizing this enterprise
and trusts that many of them will
spend a few days with us In the city
next week. Twelve lessons of two
hours each-will be given during the
term at the very reasonable cost of
$1.50. Those from abroad, as has
been advertised, will be entertained
free of charge, making it as cheap an
entertainment for them as for such as
reside in the city.
There will be no additional expense
as the books and music will be furn
ished for the occasion by Mr. Perkins
free of charge, the convention being
resjJousible only for such as are lost.
The executive committee wish it to
be understood that the instruction
wUI not be adapted simply to those
who are already proficient in music,
but will bo a thorough review upon
the elementary principles of music.
The learner, therefore, as well aa the
advanced etudent, will have his case
met by the kind of instruction given.
The committee have also decided to
procure the assistance of Prof. J. J.
Kimball, of the Leavenworth Norm
al Music School, who is without doubt
one of the best, if not the best, basro
soloist In the West. A concert al
most exclusively by the foreign tal
ent may be expected upon one of the
evenings of the week, which of itself
will be worth the time and cost of the
whole terra.
The attendance is expected to be up
wards of two hundred regular stu
dents, which will make one of the
largest choirs ever listened to in this
part of the State. To the lovers of
music, eithir as hearers or partici
pants, this occasion promises to be a
feast that may be but rarely enjoyed,
and is within the reach of all.
The Convention will be held, it is
thought, in the Presbyterian Church,
and the concert, or concerts,if more
than one, In McPherson Hall.
Catching a Burglar.
Last Monday night was not favora
ble for sleep ; so Hetzel found it. He
retired early, after divestiug himself
of all his wearing apparel, even his
rings. About 11 o'clock he awoke in
a melting mood and stepping out on
his porch took a seat. In a moment
thereafter he heard a noise of people
in Capt. Meroer's residence. As the
Captain had been absent from home
some three months Hetzel was sure
that burglars were helping themselves
to his neighbor's property. Hastily
donning a shirt, he ran to the door of
Dave McLaughlin whom he awoke
and to him he communicated his dis
covery. Dave put on his pants, boots
aud pistol, and started for more helrj,
while Hetzel stood beneath a tree
awaiting his return. A boy was dis
patched after the Marshal and John
Flora and Clover heaving in sight,
ail, under the lead of the dauntless
Hetzel, started to surround the house
and the thief. But little time elaps
ed ere the party approached the house
in circular form, and marching up to
the doors arid windows discovered
Capt. Mercer and- his family prepar
ing for bed, they having just returned
from Saline county. Hetzel was dis
gusted, while the balance of the par
ty, together with the Mercer family,
smiled audibly as they watohed the
Falstaffian form of Hetzel wending
Its way homewards.
A Good Hotel.
The Star Hotel is now admitted to
be first class in all its appointments.
For years it hos been the theatre of
ohange, until finally it lost its estab
lished prestige, but now it has fallen
into the hands of Messrs. Clark &
Fairbrotherr who propose re-establishing
its old' reputation, and Its ta
bles bear dally testimony that men
are at the helm who "know how to
Lkeep a hotel;" All the substantiate
are spread before the guests, aS also
the freshest luxuries. Clark Is an
adept in the hotel busineso, and Fair-
brotner why he is,-or was, an editor.
J ' ..
and if any man knows what Is good
itrisarr editor, and while money or
goodldoks will purchase what Is good
Wash will procure ft and" divide with?
his patrons. The sample room of the
Star Is acknowledged to be the best"
in the State. We" bespeak for the Star
& liberal patronage.

SILERUDAIT ITEMS.
Murphy & Co. lost eleven fat
hogs the 6th Inst., by the extreme
heat. Quite a fall in heavy hogs.
A Hibernian farmer living south
of Sheridan is out with the Grangers,
says the Almighty is correcting them
by withholding rain from their corn.
We have heard several names
mentioned who say they will run for
Sheriff this fall. We proposo to have
an offici, but while our senses re
main will run from the Sheriff every
time.
Wesley Dundas last week sold
several small wholesale bills to Gran
gers. He sells at the same price as
the Nebraska City wholesale houses,
and retails as cheap for cash as any
house in the county.
Geo. Hatchett who was accident
ally shot near here is' doing reasona
bly well. Not less than one hundred
shot still remain in his side and arm.
He is being attended by Dr. Hohaday
aud carefully cared for by his brother,
who has not left his bedside since the
accident. ,
People talk about dry "tfertther
and say if we don't have rain soon
we will have no corn. Don't be
frightened, "fellow farmerjf." We
never have had a corn famine in this
county yet. Think we could raise a
reasonable crop of corn with but one
shower a year.
We made a trip to Nebraska City
lately and took particular notice of
the fruit prospect on the way. In all
the apple orchards old enough to bear
there is a very fair yield. Of peaches
we think Mr. Maly, near Sheridan,
has more than all the orchards be
tween there and the city.
The first four verses of the fifth
chapter of James were likely meant
for that honest .and reverend farmer
who hired a man for nineteen dollars
per month, and then would pay but
fifteen, because he could cot afford
big wages while grain was so low. So
thinks Noah Wagner, an honest
young homesteader, who has just re
turned to his home near Red Cloud.
