LETIKR FROM JOHN FLORA.
Help: Help! I Help! ! I
Below we publish a letter from Jno.
Flora, written to his. partner in this
city, John Mercer, descriptive of the
disastrous fire in Saline county, and
the" suffering and deaths occasioned
tbe?eby. We trust Mr. F's sugges
tion touching the propriety of our cit
izens contributing to the relief of
those distressed by the lire, will be
Speedily acted upon. We believe
none can read the letter following
without feeling the Impulse of duty
in the direction indicated :
Homestead in Boknt District l
October 22d, 1873.
J. J. Mercer, Brownville, Neb.
Iear Sir: I received yours of the
5tb on the 13th and have been unable
ta answer it sooner on account of the
terrible fire of Tuesday afternoon, the
14th inst., whereby nine lives were
lost in our immediate neighborhood.
and two more persons are not expect
ed to recover from injuries received.
The names of the dead are Mrs. Mor
ey, Ruth Morey, Minnie Morey, Still-njan-
Morey, jr., Anna Berkley. Evie
Nealy, John Nealy, Richard Beany,
Srid Charles Clark, the painter Clark's
bby, of Brownville. Beany's two
boyg afe stf "I alive, but there are no
hope for the recovery 'of Edward ;
Charley may get over it, but it is
hardly probable.
I need not try to describe the scene,
that would be impossible. I never
witnessed such a horrible sigl t. Some
of the poor little things were literally
roasted ; I wonder they lived a min
ute ; but, strange as it may Beem,
they walked three-quarters of a mile
aftei it happened, when they were
overtaken by Mr. Boales, who hauled
Ihem to Mr. Morey's house. They
were buret near Hetzel's house, hav
ing taken shelter in his stable, from
which place they were driven by the
flames, and it is supposed the3T made
dir ct for home, as Ituth Morey was
found about twenty rods from Hetzel's
house, In rt northwest direction, burn
ed td death. Every particle of cloth
ing, except her shoes, was burried off
her.
The rest of the c'lfihiren were pick
ed up at the northwest corner of sec
tion tweuty-four. I passed along that
line a few tl'dvs after, and found that
clothing was strewn all along the line
to the corner. Mrs. Moray's hands
were terribly bUflied. tearing the
clothing off the childr.en.
I see it stated in the, Omaha and
Crete papers that the children were
on their way home and Mrs. Morey,
seeing their danger, rushed through
the flames to rescue them. This was
not the case; but Mrs. More', seeing
the Are about two miles south of the
school house, mounted a horse and
rode oTer to the school house and re
quested the teacher to dismiss the
school and let the scholars go home.
The teacher objected, saying they
would be safer in the house than go
ing home. Then Mrs Morey said
she would take her children, Nealy's
and Beauy's, aud told Anna Berkley,
Charles Clark anil Mollie Flora to go
along, but the teacher kept Mollie
with her, and left the house with the
remainder of the scholars and went
on a large piece of breaking and they
were saved. They would have been
safe in the school house, as it was not
burned. The house is located on the
northeast corner of section 26, on Mr.
Golden's land.
There has been an immense amount
of grain and hay burped in this coun
ty. I will give you the names of a
few of the parties that lost : George
Nealy lost stable, all his hay, Wheat
and oats, five head of hogs and a
great many chickens ; Jacob Berkley
lost all his wheat ; Boales lost all his
wheat, about 500 bushels; old man
Akeus lost all his grain; Coats lost
all his grain ; Isaac Haneyand one of
his brothers lost all their grain and
hctV. and a score of others that I can't
think of. Schimauick, on Hetzel'sl
claim, lost hay, straw, stables and
sheds. His granary was s&ved. It
burned ali over your land and about
half of mine. It wai all John Gaff,
Thomas Taylor and I could do to save
it. The fire run across the stubbles
like a race horse, aud thesmoke alone
was hard to stand.
Now, Jack, I think tie citizens of
Brownville should do something for
the sufferers in the way of money and
clothing, as they are in a destitute
condition. Crete has raised about
$200, but that will not go very far.
Moray's house was stripped of all ar
ticles of clothing for rags to dress the
burned. Even thS Bhirts, sheets and
pillow bases were torn up for that
pllrpose, which left them very desti
tute in that line. There are many in
Brownville that have clothing that is
soiled ro much that they won't wear
it but little or
would as soon
no moret tnat iney
snare a9 not. which
would do these folks as mUch good as
if they cost thirty or forty dollars a
suit, and they would be very thank
ful for them. You talk up the matter
to the merchants and I know they
will do something for them, as they
were formerly cltizeusof Brownville.
I think it would be a good idea to
speak to the editors of the Advertis
er and Democrat, and have them
call the attention of the people to the
matter. If three or more ladies were
to go-around to the private houses no
doubt they could raise a considerable
amount of Becond hand clothing; it
is needed for men, women, boys and
girls.
I would not have mentioned this,
but the circumstances are such as to
demand a word from some one, in
their behalf, and as I have seen all,
and know all about these circumstan
ces, I think it my duty to call atten
tion to the facts. What is made up
there you can bring out when you
come. I will be in about the 1st of
November. Yours,
John Flos' a.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
To-day I had the pleasure of wit
nessing one among the pleasantest
scenes ever beheld by mortal man,
though not appreciated as such by all
people of the present day. Sixteen
young ladies and gentlemen were bu
ried in Christian baptism, buried with
Chrfs't In baptism, then to rise and
walk in newness of life with Jesus.
What a solemn thought what a glo
rious privilege this is. And yet, how
few realize it.

preaching at London, five miles west.
of Brownville, last Friday night a

As Enterprising Firm.
Brownville boasts of many good,
reliable business houses and firms,
and the bbast is not an idle or ques
tionable one. During the hard and
tight times prevailing during the
summer months, our merchants kept
up their credit and spirits, and pend
ing the late stringency, all paper was
met at maturity.
While this is true, there Is one firm
that throughout the darkness prevail
ing in the business horizon, scintilla
ted with uncommon brilliancy, in
viting the poor in purse, the frugal
and honest yeomanry, the denizen of
town dr citizen of country, to visit
their store and receive the largest
amount of goods for the least amount
of money. So notorious did this con
dition of things become, that stories
of all kinds were coined to damage
the reputation and business of this
firm. Bli't opposition only tended to
build up what had been Intended and
contracted to tear down, and to-day
the mnllgtied stand forth impervious
to the shafts of their enemies, cloth
ed in the confidence of the people
whose interests they serve.
We need scarcely give the name of
the firm above referred to. Every lo
cal reader will readily infer from our
picture that we allude to Stevenson &
Cross, gentlemen possessing a greater
fund of energy, perseverance and
pluck than Vanderbilt ever did of
lucre. Their stock is large and vari
ed and they are selling at profits rare-
J
if ever exceeding ten per cent.
Quick sales and small profits," and
"a nimble sixpence is better than a
glow shilling" are their mottoes, and
we are glad to note that thej are mak
ing It pay. No matter how dull the
day or hour may be the store of Ste
venson &Cros8 is never vacant. Read-
er, il you nave never tested mis urm,
do so on e, and, our word for it, yon
will imitate the disposition of the
others who have, and will extend to
it your patronage and confidence.

We learn that some of the voters

The shrewdest politician we have
heard of is a resident of Lafayette
precinct; who took his5 wife o'n a visit
to her mother's in Otoe count', a'hd
then asked the nomination for Coun
ty Clerk.
A man from this county, now in
Colorado, writes as follows : "This is
theawfulest place this sido of .
There is no society, no Sundaj', no
Monday, no nothing, except Mexi

ve spent tho 15th and 16th in
Humboldt. Much excitement pre
vailed over trie trial of a man for sell
ing liquor without license. Judge
Stephens, of tnis place, was, tlie're
with his mouth, conducting the de
fense ; and, though but a "little
twaddler," he played his part well.
He was assisted by a "tall man with
short breeches," who had a splendid
pair of lungs. Lawyers Broady and
Molony, of Brownville, were also
present taking part with the lookers
on. The case had not been decided
when we ieft.
- It is probable that we have "man
ifested a decided tendency to drift" In
our attempts to follow "London"
through a number of columns of
"Germs of Poetry," arid are more dis
couraged than ever before, trying to
sift sense out of such a hetrogenouB
mass. At evory mention of "Germs
of Poetry," "London" indignantly
flings a half column of advice, re
proof and taunts, and finally says,
"Who is upbraiding tny friend Sheri
dan for his ignorance?" and "those
who ere caTrtinu-ally crying ignorance
to others are m'ore orless aifected with
the disease themselves." Ttiis' state
ment has much truth in it, j'et "Lon
don" is the only one that has cried
thusly to us. Why "Londpn" con
cludes that we have lost all faith In
humanity. We don't know, but will
confess that we have lost hope of
"getting the thought" presented in
"Germs of Poetry." We will not
quarrel with "London" for being of
the school of Fowler & Wells, but
would like more light on this sen
tence: "The reformers, beneftfcto'rs
and educators should study human1
agencies, so that they may under
stand their varied capacity for devel
oping minds." This looks like a
sprinkle of fatalism. We would most
heartily thank "London" for the ad
vice, "have nothing to do with poli
tics," had we not already been con
signed to a place in the. ranks of the
defeated, and been ignominiously
Slaughtered In the Sheridan anti-monopoly-
people's mass convention.
London further advises and says:
"When you see anything wrong in a
party do not run from it like a mad
man, crying borruption, calling
names, and making faces like a fool."
Now, friend "London' you had bet
ter go there yourself. Have you run
from no party or society, or do you
think as you did ten years ago? But
we are advised not to stop and quar
feljvHth those who cry ignorance, so
we'll rest awhile.
