'If five or six of-them" three had died, we should think it a very re markable clroumstanco, and further more a woman who gives birth to triplets is entitled to favorable mon tiqn by the press, and she should re ceive a pension also. At that rate of inoreaelng tho census, Nebraska would soon be entitled to another Congressman or two. We hope those babies will all live and grow up to bo good and true Republicans. m at The following interesting story Is told about Rev.

The matter was hu8hed'upTt)y the woman signing an afUdavit," ekculpating the reverond gentleman. Lately, how ever, Miss Harte was taken sick at North Platte, and fearing she was go ing to die, revealed that the affidavit ehe signed was false, and that she had been seduced by tho Rev. Clark Wrlghtwhen she was a probationary member of his ohurch. She now makes affidavit as above and it looks Bad for the Rev. Clark Wright. State Journal.

Tho New York Z,edgcr, published by Robert Bonner, has tho reputaion of being the leading the literary weekly of the country, albeit that its contents are not of the highest order of literary merit. Claiming to be a Story paper, however, Itseditorhasno right to impose upon its readers the folitloal stuff that appears each week n Its editorial columns. They nre not only noticeable in venom and very'weak in tone, but show its edi tor to bo a decided Grant-hater. Of oouree he has a right to his privato views, but if he Insists on imposing them upon his Republican readers In such a manner, they should leave the Democrats to support their organ. State Journal. It Is exceed Inclv mean for exceedingly tho Zieager to Bwlndle Its readers bo by i turning It Into a Demooratio advocate after its large number of subscribers had bought It and paid for It in ad vance as a neutral paper politically.

MATTHEWS. i'he Murderer of Katie Travers Sent up for Twenty Year.- Our readers will no doubt remember tho cold blooded murder of Katie Travers, a doinestjo n.f'tho Sarsfield Houeo on Eighth Btrcet, by Wm. Matthews, a'tittort time since. It was one of the most wanton and cruel in the annals of prime, and sent a shud der thVough the entire community. Sihce'ttje crimo was committed Mat thews lias been in the county fail awaiting trial for murder in the first jiegreo. There is no doubt that a case would have been made against him, aud he would have suffered the ex treme penalty of tho Iatf'.'iiad his pro secution under the indictment been pressed. His conducthowever, sinqp his Incarceration, Ms been auch as to lead tho officers of justice to believe that there 'was' an extenuating cir cumstance. Matthews was, without doubt orrfzed vitb. liquor when he committed the terrible orime, and in this condition fired the fatal shot. Ho has cxpVessed his contrition con tinually, and has seemed to think m6re about his crime than himself.' Under all tho clroumstances it was thought best to withdraw tne cuargo of murder in tho first degree, and al low tho miserable man to plead guilty to murder In the second degree. He was therefore brought intooourt yesterday, the plea entered, 'and Mat thews was sentenced to" the peniten tiary for twenty years. He was urged by tho Sheriff to ask the mercy of the court, but declined to do so, saying ho would willingly be nung if mat coum bring his unfortunate victim back to life. ' There will ho little sympathy forWra. Matthews, but we believe the officers of the law did right, or If thoy erred, that It Is better to err on the side of mercy than on the Bide of strict justice. If Matthews lives, ho will leave the prison with the best portion of. his life gone, and with ghostly memories to baunt him to hlB grave. St. Joe Herald, ' Tae use of strong drink was the cause of. all this misery. In this case there was no apparent cause in tho world for the killing but the use of in toxicating liquors. Every clrouru etance goes to show that Matthews was not a bad man, not; a murderer at heart, and never woukThavo thought of such a thing had ho not become crazed by long and habitual use of in toxicating liquors. Had he never touched tho "flowing bowl,"1 never tipped tho tho soolal glass, It Is fair to presume that Katie Travers would to day bo alive and Wm. Matthews a free and happy young, man. Wo therefore most candidly come to the conclusion : that whisky murdered Mies Travers and sedt Matthews to prison for twenty years. And we reason, that If tho use of Intoxicating liquors so Influenced Matthews, who was not naturally of a vicious or mur derous disposition, as to cause him to shoot a friend, Involving himself In everlasting woe, there ore none who tipplo who is not in great danger of at some time becoming gradually or sud denly so crazed, so lost to reflection and good Bonse, as to commit some grave orime that will cause a lifetime of sorrow and. regrets. DEATH OP GENERAL FRANCIS P. ULAIU, Jr. On tho 9th Inst. aSt. Louis telegram made tho announcement that Gen. F. P. Blair, Jr., died at his residence In that city, at half-past eleven o'clock last night. Although tho General has been sick a long time without faope or recovery, still his do'ath was sudden and unexpected. Ho had been out for a drive In the afternoon and returned about five o'clock. He seemed to have enjoyed It much and received considerable benefit, but while walking in his room was at tacked with dizziness and foil strik ing his temple against a piece of fur niture whioh rencfered. him insensi ble. Medical aid waB immediately summoned and every effort made to restore him to consciousness, hut without success, and at half-past elev en he gently passed away, urrounded by all tho members of ha family. Our latest and most authentic news from tho Black Hills Is from a letter dated Juno 2Sth, in tho Inter-Ocean, from a correspondent with Prof. Jen ney's exploring expedition. The gold news Is not satisfactory. The corres pondent ulvos ono case, a3 an averago nna toim furmi f.v-fouT Dans of dirt wero washed, the result being only threo fourths of one cent to the pan.

This miner sold he was con fident his party would make $17 per day to the man ; and others have made asseverations of as marked a character. Many Black Hills adven turers are beooming disheartened and returning homo to stay. i Hon. Henry M. Atkinson, commis sioner of pensions, was m the city yesterday. Mr. Atkinson has made a high reoord as an executive officer these opening months of his adminis tration, and his friends know that to tho very last day of his Bervice his onerous duties will be performed with the sjime'euorgy and' painstaking oare.'In re-organizing his' bureau and plnciflg It on a plain; practical, effective "working basis, Hr. Atkinson .has received deservedly high praise from the entire cabinet. "Omaha He publican. Tho numerous warm friends of. Mr. KAtklnson in th"e State aro muoli grati fied that'he proves himself to bo most efficient and competent In kmM eo important a position. We call attention to tho card of Mr. Sohellenberg, mine, host of tho Star Hotol. He is acquiring the rep utation of furnishing a most excellent tablo. Being an old experienced res taurant keeper, of course he knows how to cafer to the tastes of boarders and travelers; TVJIO IS RIGHT I In tho last issue of the Granger Wm. Bagley directs his artillery upon "a small small etar" that had the ef frontery to make Its appearance in the columns pf The Advertiser, and Illuminates the popular mind upon nr. rfnrk nnd abstruse nuestlons of currenoy and Republican Inoompet innv. "Small star" had ventured to assert that the Republicans of Nem aha county had learned that every way out of tho Republican party lead directly into tho Demooratio, and would hereafter act accordingly, to which Mr. Bagley replies that they will do no 6uch thing, but that the Democratic party s bound to bag them as It ought to do. Of course we would not expect'so good a Democrat ns Mr. Batrlev to concede to suoh a statement, or to acquiesce In any measure, that would unite again as of vore. tho Republican vote of this county.. We allude to tho letter of Mr. Bag- ley, however, more as the basis for a few observations upon the subjeot of enrrenev: a matter uoon which tho Republican party, as ho asserts, is so culpable as to be unworthy o support, Two facts, however, he must admit : FirBt that we have a ourrenoy Infi nitely superior to that which was in use when his party went out of power ; Second, that though wo may have hard times we have had also under Republican administration, unparal leled prosperity. Nothing oan be further from the truth than Mr. Bagley's position that more currency is a cure for hard times. Money has no Intrinsic valuo, if It had, its IncroQse would onrlch tho Country directly. It Is but the repre sentation of property or yalup. rnftde nocessary for the purpose of trade, and moves only at tho samo pace with trade. By trade w.o mean the Inter change of. commodities. Tills inter change is' governed entirely by sup- dIv and demand. The fluctuations of trade ore caused by an 'infinite and everchanging variety of circumstanc es so that it is impossible to determine in most Instances, with any degreo of aoouracy, what are the operating causes. Tho producer depends upon the products of the soil for his grain, but the cereals which he produces brings in the market just suoh a price as the supply and demand will justify. A short crop in ono locality or country may advance the price in another, aud tho result will be flush times in the latter. But does any one suppose that the volume of the currenoy effects these results ? Of oourso tho volume' of currency may bo too much con tracted or it may bo inflated, but In each case it operates equally upon ev ery branch of Industry, and the samo ratio will be maintained between the cost of production and the proceeds of the produot. The original sources of wealth ore tho mines and produc tions of the soil. A gain In any local ity, from any other sourco involves a corresponding loss In some other lo cality. It is but a transfer of property from tho one locality to the other. STATE 5KWS AND XOTES. Gov. Garbor was recently married to Miss Lyra C. Whoelor, of Califor nia. The Chieftain says harvesting has commenced in Johnson county. Tho Teoumseh Chieftain changed hands last week. J. B. Besaok is the new publisher and oditor. Tho State Sabbath school conven tion oommenpes in Lincoln on tho 17th lust. The contraot for erecting the Stato asylum for flip blind at Nebraska City has been let to J. F.

It was generally hoped that It would go up, ana inni xtosey wouia go up with it two or threo miles and then jump out. He would fiavo come flut tering down as lightly as ono of his editorials. Tho Stato Journal Informs us that "Dr. Renner, of tho Staatz Zeiiung, has just completed printing 10,000 copies of tho new constitution in the German language. Experts tell us that tho translation is perfect aud the mechanical oxeoution is as good as any Eastern establishment could turn out." Joseph Newell, a homesteader, near Lowell, on the 9th inat. shot and kill ed his brother-in-law, James MoGon egal. From what wo learn McGon egal, maddened with strong drink, made a deadly assault upon Newoll, and that tho latter acted in self-defense. MoGonegal was a county com missioner, and a well behaved man when not drunk. The Falls City Journal says, "a den of rattlesnakes have been scared up aoross the Nemaha. John Decker killed ono recently that measured nine feet, and a lady In the same vi cinity cruoified one of about tho eame proportions." Also that "tho total tax levy In Richardson countv for '75 is 22 mills, as against 24 In '74. Spe cifically, county general fund,6mills; sinking fund, 3 mills j bridge upd, 2 mills ; railroad" tax,' V mills ; State, 8 mlll3; total 22 mllla. Land per quar ter, four dollars." Also that "the abutments of tho King' Iron bridge at the falls have sunk down oyer two feet, and teams now rofuBO to press over it. ThOiSZarof the 7th says, "Rey.W.B. Slaughter was called to Omaha yes terday to attenda meeting of tho .con ference oommittee who ore to decide .upon the place for holding the next annual session of the M. E. confer once. Falls City was the place select ed, but thoy being bo badly grassbqp pored this spring have requested that It bo held at some other point. Lin coln will doubtless bo the plaoe se- leered upon, and If it is we are certain tha't our citizens will make them doubly welcome." Falls City must bo eusily scared and ought to be ashamed of herself. Brownville would hove given her lastshlrt rather than back out in that style. Tho Seward Beporter ?ays: Sor row and affliction has overtaken the family of Mr. Geo. Dunlap, w.bo lives sonjo fourteen miles northeast of this oity.' Yesterday morning about five oclock, while Mr. Dunlap was out In the field and Mrs Dunlap was milk ing In the yard, their ten paqnth old boy was bitten ,'on tho hand by a rat-tle-Bnake while in bed, the cries of tho child brought the parents into tho house where they found and fill ed the snake. Dr. Hastings was sent for, who arrived there at ton o'olock. The Dr. found the child already bad ly swollen and In spasms ; he applied all the remedies in his power, 'but It was too late, and tho child expired at two o'clock. OUR WASHING-TON LETTER. The Ropuhllcan China Shop Nuisan anccs Sad Conclusion. Washington, D. C June 28, 1875. ' Dear Advertiser .-Last fall great consternation was experienced by the Impertlnont obtrusion of tho Demo cratic bull Into our REPUBLICAN CHINA SHOP. The question then naturally arose, "how to get tho critter, out.' My view was to seize him by the horns, but many seemed fearful so grabbed him by the tail. But President Grant's late letter has formed a ring In the nose of the animal, and the Republi can State conventions held since have provided a rope, and, it is hoped that 03 all havo tho samo end in view, nnd. that fly tlmo has set in, there will bo a ohauge of holds. NUISANCES. Boot blacks and news boys In Wash ington are intolerable nuisances. A man cannot mako entrance or exit to or from a hotel without being obtru sively prevailed upon by sonp of Ere bus to havo his boots blacked' or buy a Republican, Chronicle,-Star, Telegram Critic, or other paper. Women are tho only creatures exempt from the annoyance. They aro not urged to put their shoes upon tho portablo'box to receive a "politiolan ' shine," Paris black," or to invest In the literature of the day. I never before wished to bo a woman, but Hying in Washington would make one wish to bo anything but what he Is; and, indeed, pretty much everybody hero Is some thing removed from what he appears to be. SAD. Of late Commissioner Atkinson (Nemaha's Henry) was compelled to prune down his clerical forco, thus throwing out of employment some fifty or sixty Impecunious clerks. The news of this discharge fejl with dis tressing foroe on many of them, and since their discharge two havo claimed newspaper notices ono of them hav ing in a fit of desperation cut his throat from oar to ear, and the other lost his reason and was taken to the Insauo asylum. Had they never came here they would be better off. Now tho unreliability of politicians and politics breaks like a flood upon their senses, and they aro thrown into pretty much the samo train of thought that Davey Crocket wos when he said in his reminiscences of Martin Van- Buren : "I havo been to tho place of voting, nnd had to oarry a dirk for fear of getting Into a sorapo there. I had eomo violent, angry dleputes; cursed my wife's brother; Insulted my uncle ; told my father 1iq was a tory ; dared my nearest neighbor to a fight; havo not been for months oh speaking terms with many of my oldest friend, and Indeed my old school mutes with whom I was raised In all tho agreeable sports of boyhood ; my wifo has been out off, too, from visiting my nearest neighbors and oldest companions. And what ls'lt all for? "To elect a man to an office that apq3 not benefit me ono cent. I have been running after his heels, freeman ns I afn, and barking at his enemies like a dog; ready to tear out my neighbor's eyes, bite off his nose, split his thumb, slit bis lip, or scollop his cor, and' nil to put Mr. Lovelels ure into a comfortable office, to keep him from work, while it does not lighten my labor ono stroke.'' And Davey was right. CONCLUSION. It Is too hot to wrlto to-day ; at least too hot to think.. Indeod I, did. not suppose, when I took up my pen, that I would get off muoh of d letter, tho only Impelling motion being to let my. Nemaha county friends know that I had not forgotten them. If they want any moro they can havo It from Caefrey. Thanlc You.

His Loco- Gallant Conduct of Express gcr Burke. Messen Long Point, a station on the Vanda Un. n. R.. three miles west of Casey, 111., is a place where all trains on that road usually stop' for water. It is" a lonesome place, situated In the woods vtth no one living within a mllo and a half of it. It was long considered by the railroad men as a dangerous place; several times lately the engi neers have seen suspicious looking persons lurking about tbero at night and havo run hy thero without stop ping to water. On' tho night of tha 8th ntmidnisht ns train No. 5, easP ward bound", conductor Fraloy and Engineer Anes, came to Long Point for water two ' men boarded the locp motlve, one from each side, and said to the engineer, -"Pull out." The en gineer was at first somewhat bewilder ed. "W,"tien. they said again "Pull out,'" he, seeming to comprebepd the situation, said", ""All right; I'll pull out.V The men said, "We'll run the thing ourselves," and at that both fired. Ono of tho shots KILLED THE ENGINEER INSTANTLY; the other lodged in the cab. The fire man, who was on tbo tank taking in water, immediately jumped and ran to the rear of the train to notify the (rain men, having heard the conver sation and comprehending' the situa tion. During these proceedings at the engine a confederate had detaahed the Adams express car, ond they then pulled tho engine wide opeh'and ran her about two miles east and stopped, blowing off the brakes to deceive the express messenger. They then came to the door of the cor. and said: "Let me In, Jaok." He replied to them: "You sons of bitches I'm ready for you ; if you over come in here you are dead men." The robbers then commenced firing into the car. The messenger, Burke, 'said it seemed to him that there wero a dozen of them, as tho shots seemed to come from ev ery direction. THE CONDUCTOR and train men, after the shots wero fired, saw the situation of affairs and at onoo set about to pursue them. They could only find one revolver In tho train, but found two soldiers on who wore armed w'ftfi carbines. With these weapons "the train "men and two spldiors started in pusuit of the train and robbers, but when they camo up with tho train all was qujet. the robbers having fled. Th'ey found tho engineer at the bottom of the cab cold and stiff. There ohanced to be a freight engineer on the. train, and he, with the fireman, Immediately ran the engine back to "the train aud brought it in. ' The robbers failed to gain any entrence whatever Into the express par, It being ope of the close kind, having, no windows and very strong in every way. Had they de taohed the American Express car also, whioh was immediately in tho rear of the Adams, they would undoubted ly have accomplished their objeot, as It wos open, tho oar having windows and doors not being very strong. They found tho the hammer by whioh the coupling pin was knocked ouj SPd which may hereafter serve as A CLUE TO THE DICOVEBY of the perpetrators of this outrage. The train men speak In very flatter ing terms of tho pluck and bravery displayed on' part of express messen ger Burke, undor tho trying circum stances in whioh he was placed. Thero Is Intense feeling among the railroad men over the tragical death of Engineer Ames. Should tho por petrators be caught. It Is Very general ly believed, that it vill not cost the Stato anything to prosecute them. Engincor Amos was one of tho best engineers on this road?" He is 35 years old and had beon married but a short tlnie.' The robbers who boarded tho locomotive wore longUniieu dus ters. Conductor Fraey, and all the train men, in fact, did, all they could under tho olroumstanoes. Several susp'lolous persons are already under arrest, and every effort will be made by tho railroad company to bring the robbers to justice. Tiey have, it is understood, offered a reward of $1,000. Rules, for Bank Customers. Tho following rules aro recommend ed to tho attention of thoso who do business at the banks. Thoy will be the means of saving a great deal of tlmo and annoyqnoe by not follow ing them : 1. If banlf hours aro from 8 to 4, always rush In boforo or after tho hours for opening or closing. It will look moro as If you were doing a "slashing business," and hadn't tlmo to come In during bank hours. 2. Nover put stamps on your checks be-j fore you cet to the bank, but elvo tho teller I two cents, and ask him to lick It nnd cancel Itforyou; tho teller expects to lick nil tho stamps, and It Is a source of disappointment to Mni when peoplo insist on doing H thom selves. and will save him buying his lunch. 3. In depositing monoy try nnd get it up side down and wrons end foremost, so that tho tellor may havo a llttlo asorolBO in stralghtonlqg it up before Cb'untlug it. 4 It Is best not to take your bank book with you. but call at another time and havo It entered; 'Yon San tmis make two trips to the bank where" one would answer. k Tf n oheck is made' payable to your order. be careful not to indoreo it before hanging it to tho teller, dui let mni icmtu ii. i uu nun wait while you indorse It; thlshefps'to pass the time, and Is a pleasure and rellof to tho tellor. 1 C. Yon can gonerally save time wnen malt ing a deposit by counting down your money to the teller, as you can nearly always count more speedily and correctly than ho can. 7. If yon make a deposit of 8100 and glvo a check for $50, it Is a good thing to call fre quently at the b.ankandj'nsk how your ac count 6tands, aslt Impresses tho officers fav orably with your business qualifications. 8. Never keep any record when your notes fall due, and then, if they ftre protested, cen- suro the bank for not giving ybu notice. 9. Always date your checks ahead, it is a never-failing sign that yon keep a good bal ance In bank; or, if you do not wish it gener ally known that yon are doing a good bus iness, do not deposit your money until' about the tlmo you expect your oheck will bo in. 10. In depositing monoy never make Out a deposit ticket. Tho teller has the blanks in bis case for that purpose, and expects to fill them out himself, it annoys him to have you offer to do it; if others aro waiting, It gives them a chance to exerclso patience, which is a great virtue. 11. In receiving money from a teller, never cay in advance how you want It, but hand back each cote separately, and aek blm to break it." A strict observance of tho foregoing rules will makeypuiaocountdoslrable for any bank, and make you a general favorite with all tho bank officers.
