POUJfO DEAD.
On lat Sunday morning while Mr.
Thos. King, of this city, was strolling
along the river bank, about a mile be
low town, a peculiar and very offen
sive smell attracted his attention, and
looking for the cause discovered a
dead man. He immediately came to
town and notified Coroner JSbrlght of
the discovery he had made; wbe pro
ceeded to the spot where the corpse
was lying, accompanied by a number
of citizens. Ajurywasat once Im
paneled when the following facts
touching the case, circumstantially,
were elicited : On Thursday the2oth
ult., a Swede, giving his name as
Left9tein, applied to James Zook, en
gineer at Graham's saw mill, for work
and was employed, and went to Mrs.
Shidley's to bdard. He safd he walk
ed frdra Omaha to Brownville, and
appeared to be without money, much
depressed in spirit nnd at times un
well. After the first day he did not
return to the mill, but stayed at his
boarding house until Monday morn
ing, 29th. when he disappeared and
nothing more was seen or heard of
him. The corpse found, although
much disfigured, having to all ap
pearances been dead several days and
exposed to the hot weather, was
thought by Zook and Mrs. Shadley to
be the body of Leftsteiu. The jury
concluded that the man took his own
life by hanging. They were led to
this opinion by the fact that nearly
above the body and about four feet
from the ground a part of a large
handkerchief was found fastened by
one corner to a leaning sappling and
the other part was about the neck of
the dead man. The supposition was
that he made a noose into which he
placed his neck and strangled to
death, and that afterwards the hand
kerchief tore asMinder letting the
body drop to the ground. Upon ex
amination of the bodjT no nlafks
more than the handkerchief would
make around tile Heck indicating
violence were found.
The only paper found on the body
was a letter written in the Swedish
language, signed by Charles Berg "and
addressed to "my brother." It pur
ported to have been written at Gall
Hall, Denmark. JuneOth, 1S74. From
the fact that the surname of the wri
ter of the letter was Berg, the jury
i.t ? j i - t
came m me conclusion mat me name
of the deceased was Berg also.
Tiie only property of any vdue
found on de"cea-ed was a gold ring
with the initials "A. A." engraved
on the Mime. He left aplain silver
j watch at his boarding house, which
is In the hands of the Coroner. The
man was of medium size, of light
complexion and about ,'K5 years old.
After hearing all the facts tilts jury
rendered the following verdict:

THE TAX PAYERS MEETING IN
LONDON PRECINCT.
Some weeks ago, dur readers re
member, a call, signed "Many Cit
izens," was issued to the lax-payers of
London precinct, for a meeting to be
held in Londori on the 3rd of July.
On the day and at the hour named,
quite a number of the tax-payers of
London precinct assembled, and W.
T. Rogers, Esq., county attorney was
present to seo what was to be done
and to represent the county commis
sioners. The'meeting organized by electing
Charles Campbell, chairman and A.
J. Skeen secretary. Considerable dis
cussion was indulged in with regard
to taxes, unfair assessments, and the
action of the Board of Commissioners
in equalizing the assessments parti
cipated in by the agrieved, of whom
there were but a few and Mr. Rogers.
The origin of the discontent amongst
some of the tax-payers, and from
which the meeting originated, was as
follows : The assessor of London pre
cinct did not value the lands of that
precinct at figures anywhere near up
to those given from the precincts im
mediately adjoining London precinct.
The attention of the commissioners,
when sitting as a Board of Equaliza
tion, was called to the discrepancy
when they proceeded to increase the
valuation of such lands of the pre
cinct as they thought had been assess
ed too low, which action of Course in
creased the taxes on such lands. To
this the owners of these lands object
ed, taking the ground that the com
missioner's had no right to meddle
with the assessements of their pre
cinct. Hence this meeting of indig
nation was called.
Mr. Rogers addressed the meeting,
demonstrating to the people present
that they had not been unjustly dealt
with, and that. the burden of their tax
es was not greater than their neigh
bors of other precincts, especially
those of Brownville precinct who pay
more than one-fuurth of all the tuxes
of Nemaha county.
Mr. Rogers also produced the law
which authorizes the commissioners,
a a Board of Equalization, to do just
as the had done to increase the val
uation of property when they were
satisfied that the assessor had valued
it too low, or to reduce in cases Where
the valuation was too high. The
reason why tills power is given the
commissioners ii that every tax-payer
should be made td hear his or her
equal share of taxiltion nothing
more and nothing less.
Mr. Rogers' plain exposition of law
and facts had the effect to enlighten
the minds of the gentlemen who
heard him; and had they had as
much light ou the subject before the
meeting was called, it never would
have been called. Mr. Rogers then
Introduced a resolution exonerating
the county commissioners from all
blame. The resolution lis nearly as
we could get it read as follows :
JZesolved, That it is the senso of
this meeting that tha assessors of
London Precinct and the county com
missioners sitting as a Board of equal
ization be and are hereby exhonornt
ed from any charge df dishonesty in
any errors that may have been com
mitted in the aaedsment and for the
year 1874.
The resolution was adopted.
This we understand was about all
the business done at the meeting ex
cept the passage of a resolution sup
pressing the minutes of the same.

oratid to an appreciative auiiien'Ce oh
Main street on Monday evening, con
cerning the stranger in our "Polar"
system, as follows :
Gentlemen of respect and energetic
feelings I have studied Bibography,
Physiology, Plenipotentiary, Gastro
fiomry, Egnography and this is my
fundamental system. I have teached
school and the-English principles of
the system of greatness, and I say it
before you by my energetic feelings
that I can teach more men the funda
mental system of our holy English
literature than can me, ccrlaiii and
we. The comet of reverential pow
er, gentlemen, is a star with ari efflu
via of gormandizing greatness. It is
to be found in the diagonal sphere of
the polar System, developing in the
plains of Exegesis on the pyramids of
gigantic hope and and urtiform
greatness. No, gentletrtert, Castor
and Pollenix and Odonis wiil never
subtrahend the vast resources of gran
diloquent aiitl mighty depths of its
superabundent and vehbrrieiit genu
flexions. Its orbet compromises the
most rapacious mundacity and mor
alizing influence which is circumam
bient around the north pole. Its gor
mohdiziug tail extends from the sjs
tematic revelations of uniform power
td the North American hemisphere.
Its gyrations quicken my systematic
nerves and produees a towering flood
of heart-beating volubility, kertain.
and Sure. Why I would launch out
on the far spreading opinions of a a
goose of the first magnitude und sail
on in the Iimitable depths of rever
ential power, and comb the fiery tail
of the comet with the grandeur of an
astronomical pertinacity and a hori
zontalincongruity. Think 3rou that
in all that solitude of space I would
rest my weary feet on the immensi
tude of nothingness and gaze ou the
brilliancy and indulgence of the
fundamental system of greatness?
No! Ten thousand times no! I
would bask in the generous rays of
enervating refrigeration in hoc vobis
in the language of the mammoth
Apostolicus, I never would. Never!
never!! never!!! ceriain and sure.

THE COXJNTY
SH'ERIDA'V SCRAPS..
We spent sevpral days lately in.
Johnson county. The appearance' bFl
crops Is good, better than we ever
saw, except some few pieces of late
planted and badly worked corn.
Farmers are in good spirits and are
getting ready for a big harvest. We
should think all the people in the
county were Grangers ilnd believed
in a good supper and a social meet
ing by the way they turned out to a
Grange supper on Spring Creek. We
visited Sterling and found it lively
and growing fdsl. The railroad com
pany undertook to change the loca
tion of the town. They succeeded in
getting their depot and a hotel fardbt
upon the prairie, where they starid
alone, while the town grows up dh
the old site. If the B. & Ft. K. it.
R. is ever built the company will riot
try the same game at Sheridan as Ihe
grade is such that they cannot make
a stopping place anywhere else. An
other thing surprised us somowhat ;
although Johnson county ia Granger
to the backbone, and has a railroad
through it. the fiirmers get 25 per cent
les for butter and eggs and they pay
more for rherbhaudise, even in the
Grange store, than ih the much abus
ed town of Brownville.
Wo wish it distinctly understood
that not one of the inhabitants of
Sheridan has any enmity towards
Brownville; do not join in the wish
so often expressed that it was in the
bottom, of the Slissouri River, or, as
a loud talking Gxattger expressed- it,
in Ii I. But we had supposed that
we might live in the center of the
county, or even vote to move the
county seat to the center, if we ever
get a chance, without being "reckless
speculators, enemies of Brownville,
speculative ring, unscrupulous sharp
prs, adventurers dedirlhg to" vorfc .in
jury to the county, Cause stagnation
of business, stop emigration to the
county, cause enormous (axes, trying
to organize a political party fo move
the county seat, &o." Dr. before yrm
try again read that little item in the
editorial column of the Granger of
last week which reads, "Abuse arid
ridicule are not the weapons with
which to annihilate tho independent
uprising of the people.
Some of the Grangers have lots
of fun about the Fourth of July ora
tion of a Democratic lawyer from
Brownville. They say itjustamoun
ted to this: 't never asked for an of
fice, never asked for a vote, and never
will. The only way to have honest
officers is to elect men who never
asked for an office or a vote."
Some of our would be legislators
found a new dodge in parliamentary
tact lbs the other day at London.
Woilld It ndt be dice td have tin- Leg
islature make laws rill winter, then
on the last day of thesessidn conclude
all their itcts were a disgrace to the
State, ami by resolution tear up dud
destroy the whole record.
