P. of this city received a full set of officers jewels on Monday evening. Tho members of Esoelsioraro a dressy sot of fellows, and will look real nobby In their new jewels.

The Advertiser will support the nomi nees of the republican party. Master Emcuuoi Lowman re turned home last Friday, after an absence of several months attending commercial school In Chicago.

"We are requested to again call tho attention of our city council to tho absolute necessity of draining the pond of stagnant water In the rear of McPherson block. It is a perfect dis ease breeder, and therefore a ditch sufficient to carry oflT the water should be made without delay. It Is due to those who reside or do business in the vicinity of the pond. Give Norridba county but a .half chance, and she will prove herself en titled to tho nam! of tho garden Bpot of Nebraska. Everything, from the grass to t&8sgwjiig' crops, never looked better than now: and of all but fruit and wheat she will have a largo abundance, if frost is only usu ally lato; and of these exceptions there will bo a sufficiency. Last Wednesday Mr. Frank Jones, who lives a few miles south west of this city, while In tho act of mounting to tho top of an old corn crib, threw ono of his hands onto a rattlesnake which had preceded' him to the top of the crib. The reptile struck Its fangs Into one of his lin gers. Dr. Crane was sent for, and notwithstanding ho has kept Jones pretty well filled with whisky, his sufleriug is intense, we'learn, and his oondition considered critical. Tho total 'indebtedness of Rioh ardson county Is $170,700. Globe Jburnal. That Is all good so far as it goes; but will the editor be kind enough to tell us what the population of Richardson county is according to tho official re turns of the assessors of tho different precincts as returned to the county clerk last Bprlng? Wo understand that the officers of Richardson guess at their population Wo know they did'ln the spring of 1874, when mak ing their returns to tho secretary of State. Now it would bo Interesting to comparo 'official, sworn to census returns with that guess work. Tho Granger makes desperate ef forts to divert tho attontlon of its readers from tho main question at is sue. Wo chargod, and continue to chargo, in tho most positive manner, that that paper attempted to colleot a b.ll for a kind of printing that It most certainly knew was to bo done without charge. It know it was to be done without charge, because the treasurer so informed tho publishers about tho same time that he Informed tho publishers of The Advertiser. This is point numbor ono. Point number two is, that the publishers of tho Granger charged ten dollars, or two-thirds more, for the work than The Advertiser would have charged had It been proper to charge for it at all. That infamous concern can not lioout, nor twist out, nor get out of its dilemma in any manner. It claims to bo "the tax-payer's friend," but in a most sneaking manner oharges tho tax-payers two-thirds more for print ing than The Advertiser charges. Tax-payers, we call your attention to these facts. Wo have often thought that wero It possible to havo everything a per son might want to purchase under one roof, and at the lowest price, what an amount of shoo leather and walking it would savo, and what an amount of vexation. Yet kind providonoo and business interests aeom to have divid ed business, and made it a noteworthy matter when a near approaoh to the above Idea is found. Eureka ! That Is, in plain English, wo have found it, or as near as can bo, In visiting W. T. Den's storo and warehouses in this oity. On going into the store one sees displayed a cholco stock of dry goods groceries, and boots and shoes, com prising ell that theso names call for; and nuyono who knows Den, well knows that he could not live unless ho had a tip-top assortment of all tho sportsman needs. This wo eayparen thetlcally, but ho has a number one fit-out In this lino. Leaving"the store one need only go into the wareroom adjoining to know that he -buys all that may bo offered In tho way of hides, pelts, furs, wool, etc, eto. Go ing up stairs ono finds himself sur rounded by a large stock of furniture, of such qualities as the country needs not fauoy, but strong and serviceable. To tho right of his storo is his hard ware room, where stoves, plows, etc, are kept ; and in tho rear is another warehouse, full of. the Studebaker wagons, which everybody who ever used a wagon knows. Taking him andrhis stock, all in nil, you find a typo- of the pioneer merchant, with tho stock grown to proportions wnicu involuntarily oompel attention and respect for the business capacity which has engineered them to such .success.

Frst door west of Sherman House saloon. Another heavy rain occurred on Tuesday evening, and It rained nearly all of Tuesday night and on Wednes day. Too much wet weather for crops on flat bottom lands, and for harvest ing and saving the wheat crop. On Sunday night Dr. Hollady slipped out to Beub. Berger's, and left In the arms of Mrs. Berger a nice lit tle girl baby, and Keub is happy. We congratulate pa and ma and wi6h good health and luck to the little one. We this woeS" saw an ear of corn sufficiently matured as a roasting ear, which was 12 inches In length and was pulled from tho stalk exactly eight weeks after plan ting. How was that for a nubbin, gotten up In a hur ry it being grasshopper year. R. V. Hughes died on the 27th Inst., after a lingering illness of sev eral months, in the 48th year of his ago. As wo go to press, Wednesday 3 o'clock his fun oral ia taking place in charge of tho Odd Fellows. Dlok was a most generous hearted man, a true friend, a kind husband and father, and a good and useful citizen. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved widow and fatherless children. While walking along the river bank the other day, looking at the large piles of drift-wood which had been hauled out upon tho bank, wo were informed by a drfft-oatcher that not less than 500 cords of wood had been caught this season, and near 800 saw logs ; altogether worth near $2, 000. This looks as if there Is yet en ough of the salt of industry left in this section to save it from all grass hopperdom. "Railroad meeting! This after noon, at 2 o'clock at the court house. Everybody turn out." Wo find tho foregoing eraphatlo de mand for a railroad meeting in the Falls City Globe-Journal of last Sat urday tho same day that ocourred tho call for elections in the Salem route precincts on the M. P. bond propositions. Wonder if there Is any body about Falls City badly scared these times. They huvo reasons to bo scared, for if over the M. P. forms a junction with the A, & N. at Salem, why, tho fact is, Salem will lay tho present shire-town in the shade will gently lay it away iu eternal rest. Wo find tho following item In the Sownrd Reporter of last week : Wo are informed that the Hon. H. C. Lett, of Brownvllle, contemplates opening a drug store in Seward at an early day, and has engaged Mr. Comp ton's building for thatHpuapose. Mr. Lett is highly esteemed throughout tho slato for his social and gentle manly qualities, and we feel like ex tending to him a cordial welcome to Seward, hoping that he will come horo with the object of making this his home in tho future. Mr. Lett has had. an' eye to business since on his western trip. Wo hopo Mr. Lett does not intend to remove from his beautiful homo In Brownvllle. If so it will be universally regretted by the peoplo horo. The press of the eastern part of the state has very recently discovered that the new constitution is an unjust document, and aro combining their efforts to squeloh it; ail because it gives the weatorn portion of tho state its just dues. Bloomington Guard. The Guard is either ignorant as an as3 as to tho position of "the press in the eastern part of the state,'' or in tentionally utters a falsehood. Tho truth of the matter Is precisely the re verse of tho Guard's assertion. Tho "press'' of the eastern part of the stato, with only two or three excep tions, hasdeolaredln favor of tho con stitution; hence tho combination to defeat it is but the intangible creation ofa little, narrow, mind. "Advorsltles havo their uses' is an axiom as true as it la old, and sel dom better illustrated than in the new business which has been established in our midst by A. Finklestion, that of buying old iron, brass, copper, rags, paper, and even bones articles, were It not for tho pinch in money matters, which would havo lain around worse than worthless, and not worth the room they ocouplod. We learn from Mr. F. that up to this time he has paid out In this community near $1,900 for these commodities, and Is still buying-. While many a small boy's heart has been made glad over the nickell's worth of candy obtained through' tho sale of iron and bones, wo know of many men who havo been able to help themselves and fam ilies through the hard times by the aid of tho sale of these things. Truly the days of small things aro upon-ns, when no calling is dispised that is honest ; and we wish Mr. Flnklestino prosperity in his business. Wo wero slightly startled last Saturday morning on hearing tho rush of waters down tho branch in the rear of our office, while the sky overhead was clear and sereno ; whioh on inquiry we learned was caused by the loosening of tho dam up the hol low west of town, which tho boys had put in to stop the water and mako a swimming hole. It must havo been a good sized pond. We hear some con doming the boys for darning up the water. This wo think is wrong, for we believe that "clonllness is n kin to Godliness ;" besides this, boys will go swimming, and as there are so many mothers who dread tho Missouri river as a resort for swimming, some other way must be looked up ; and these swimming holes offer the double ad vantage, that you can tell just where tho boys have been by the mud in their hair, and Bhould a child "get drowned in one, thej dam could be brok&and the water let out'in time to save life.

I will offer no apology in behalf of this hastily written article, giving an account of the terrible calamity whioh has befallen ono of our neighbors : During the tho thunder storm last Saturday, three littio girls, (daughters of Mr. Towns, a farmer living little more than a milo from Grant P. O.,) were playing up stairs,, when the house was struck by lightning, in stantly killing Emma, who was nine year of age, and seriously injuring the one next younger, while tho little ono escaped unhurt. Their brother who was below, Immediately brought down tho two living children, and re hiring, his next burden was his dead sister.. She was burled Sunday aftornoon, and the number of peoplo gathered at tho grave, must havo assured the af flicted family that tho whole com munity sympathized with them in their sorrow. It was only one, and there are others left, but which of us can give them up more readily, because that one is not our all. If it was only one wrench and the agony all past, as it is for the ono who has gone, it would be easier to bear, but the dreary days and the slow moving weeks, lengthen Into years before tho over present pain dies away and leaves us sadder, and yet no better prepared for the shock, whioh we have so lately been taught may at any time come among us. The littio girl will be muoh missed, for sho was ono of the soholara of Grant school, and a quiet attentivelist ener in her class at Sabbath school, where sho will be missed and long re membered by her teacher, who has for tho summer had ohargeof the class of bright eyed lttlo girls. May her littio class-mates cherish her memory,, and when ever, through their lives, thoy may bo tompted to do wrong, let them think, "Our dead aro looking Downward with a sad surprise, All our strlfa of words rebuking With their mild and loving eyes ; Shall we griovo the holy angels? Shall wo cloud their blessed skies?" C. O. His. We are under obligations to Mra Whittomoro for a oouple of copies .of the St. Albins (Vt.) Messenger. We clip tho following from & notice Jn in one of the papers, of a dramatio and musioal entertainment. It, will be duly appreciated by our Brownvllle readers : The bfoheatra will bo under tho di rection of tho world renowned musi siclan, Prof. George P. Berkley, lato of MoVioker's Theatre, Chicago. Bully for George. On lastFriday the commissioners of Richardson county made an order submitting a proposition to the pro oincts of tn&'t county through which tho M. P. railroad would pass on' tho Salem route, to vote $70,000 to aid in building said road, This was done, we are oredibly informed, upon prom ise from Dr. Converse in "black and white," that the road should be con structed on tho Salem routo if that amount of bonds was voted. Sa lem now feels certain of getting the road, and sho will undoubtedly if Dr. Converse has madesuch an agroemoub in writing and adheres to it, for there Is not muoh doubt that tho precincts will vote tho bonds. When work will be resumed on this end of tho road we cannot learn. This election' for the Salem route will havo to "bo advertis ed thirty days before the election, which will put it to tho fatter part of August. Wo would like to see the road at least graded boforo snow flies, but wo cannot think Buch will be the caso. Since writing the above we have re ceived tho Falls City Globe-Journal which contains tho propositions of eaoh of the four precincts, and find the amount of bonds required from tho prccinots to bo.os follows: Salem ...'S2&,200' Nemaha 10,000 Muddy... 16,000 Liberty....... 13,000 Total. 09,000 The olootlon will bo on tho 24th day of August.
