An old soldier of Penick's regi ment semis us word to notify Mr. Church and the editor of tlie Granger, that he, and others in his neighbor hood, wort insulted the other day when a butch of Independent tickets with Mr. Church's name on, was re ceived, and that they do not want the insult repeated. Mr. Howe last Saturday in Urown- ville, in the presence of Grant Clover and Mr. Wall and others said that Mr. Majors, the Republican candidate for Clerk, refused to let his hired girl rat .nt the table with his family. This frtory is an atrocious lie, and Mr. Howe knows it to be such. He would not dure td stand before Mr. Majors and make the chat ge, unqualified as he did on the occasion above referred to. t- The friends of Mr. Church start ed the report the other day that Mr. Jones Is oil" the track. If Mr. Jones had concluded to withdraw from the race he would not call upon his oppo nents to herald the news. It is a ma licious He started bv the little Church m rng in their desperation to do some thing for their man, even though t'm something be dishonorable. Mr. J Hies id not only on the track but is most surely at this time leading his opponents. His friends must stand firm and pnyno attention to the lies f the Church party. The Omaha Republican last week made its appearance in a very neat ew dress that is new type from head to foot. With its new manage ment and new dress it Is "rejuvenat cl," truly, and is now a live Republi can paper, such as lias so long been needed at the metropolis of Nebraska. The many Republicans of the State "who have heretofore given preference to the Herald and Bee should now drop them and take the Republican. It has again become deserving of tho patronage of the party of the State, aud promises to so continue. One night last week the Inde pendents held a meeting at Mt. Pleas ant school house, and Church Howe as there, of course, to run things. Howe is very bitter against McComa, and during hls-specch he urged, as a "lost substantial reason why McCnm a should be defeated, that he had tad the ofilce long enough. This feornetimes is a very good kind of rea soning, but if applied to McComas, how would it apply to Mr. Plasters, who has been Sheriff much longer than McComas has been judge? But then Plasters is running on the Inde pendent ticket.

Many tickets will be headed "Republican ticket," that have the names of Democrats or In dependents on them, and tickets headed "Independent" or "People's" or "Democratic," will have the names of Republican candidates on. Look well to your ballot. At the solicitation of the many Democratic and Independent friends of air. Gilmoreand Mr. W.E. Majors, we have printed tickets with the In dependent names entire excepting for Treasurer and Clerk. This is done to deceive no one, but to accom modate the friends of the two can didates named, who would prefer to have a ticket printed to suit them in stead of so much scratching and mu tilation of tickets. BST Grand Opening of Hats :nd Caps by 5... Cowman. Our article from Aspinwall is pretty severe upon friend Gilbert ; but wemiiHtPay that it is not at all too severe if he is working against the ticket, or any part of it; for we were at the convention and remember well that Mr. Miuick did nledfre Gilhrr - , n - -- 10 ine SUpporL Ol tlie tlClvOt, and it was done after Mr. Jones was nomi nated. Had he not intended to sup port Mr. Jones he should not have had his name presented with a prom ise to do so. We have bein veiy leliablyin formed that Mr. Scojicld's name will appear on a Republican ticket, gotten up to deceive voters. Readers, Mr. Pound, the Republican candidate for Judge is the man we want. He is a sober ud very able man, while Sco field is neither. An attorney who knows both gentlemen well says that Scofield is generally under,"the influ ence of whisky, ami that Pound is an exemplary temperance man. JG3T Grand Opening of Clothing-by IL. Lowsnan. Mr. Church denies, since he has become a candidate, that ho is the author of the article signed "Nixie," which eo in-ulted Penick's men. Of course he denies it and the reason why is very plain to every one be cause he is a demagogue and politi cian seeking office, and wants thesup portof Penick's men anO their friends. But notwithstanding his denial, we repeat that our knowledge of who wrote the Nixie letter is such, and from one who is "posted," that we are still satisfied that Mr. Church is the man. Mr. Clapp, the Republican can didate for county commissioner, spent two or three days in thi3 part of the county this week. He is a very pleas ant and intelligent gentleman, and gains supporters wherever he becomes acquainted. It is believed by both Republicans nnd Democrats with whom wo have conversed, that Mr. Clapp will carry Lafayette precinct the home of both candidates by a handsome majority. Such a result would be well for Lafayette, it hav ing given nearly a unanimous Inde pendent vote last year. Rut wo pre sume the reason why Mr. Clapp will run so well Is because he is so much more popular than Mr. Higgina, in the loca ity where they are both best known. JGST Grand Opening of No tions Uy L. liOirinan. The editor of the Granger charg es, around the corners, when he whis pers to men, that Wils. Majors once refused to let his hired girl eat at the table with himself and wife. But the sneaking vilifierof honest men is too much of a coward and paltroon to make the charge through the columns of his paper. This story we presume is being saved for work on election day, and we ask tho friends of Wils., in his behalf, and backed by his word of honor, to say that it is a most wicked nnd atrocious lie, and that he is prepared at any time to meet nnd refute those who peddle it. Had there been a shadow of foundation for the slander the Granger would have long ago been blowing about it, but as it is utterly false it is only buzzed about little crowds where the proof is not eagerly sought for. Pay no attention to this and probably other Infamous stories that will undoubtedly be con cocted for the occasion but vote and work for Wils. Majors who has been for the last two years as efficient, kind and accommodating a clerk as Nemaha county ever had. Wils. Majors is in no sense an aristocrat. He was raised from boj'hood to man hood in this county tho people think they know him. and they do know him ; as he appears, so he is. He sol diered in the first regiment of Nebras ka volunteers for some three or four years, and took his meals as he could get them on a chip or a log. or gath ered it out of the mess pau with his fingers, or pulled it from his haver saok or pocket as he rode to his picket duty any and every way, and glad to get something to eat in any way, frequently every old soldier knows all about it. Now is it not a most ab surd thing for any sensible person to say that such a man is an aristocrat and will not eat. at the same table with other decent people whether poor or rich. No, reader it is a cow ardly electioneering He and those who believe it will be sadly victimized. Proceedings of tlic Xeinaha Comity Republican Central Committee BrownviijIiE Neb., Sept. 30, '75.

Republican Meeting at Burk's School House. Aspinwalt, Precinct, Oct. 5, '75. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. We had an excellent Republican meeting at this place last night. Mr. Curtis was called to the chair and Mr. Jones took the floor. Mr. Jones made a few remarks on general principles concerning the party, he then refer red to the slanderous reports being circulated as to his being a man of in temperate habits: he called on any man In his Aspinwall precinct to make it known if he had ever seen him under the influence of liquor. No one responded. Mr. Gilmore followed with a few remarks. Only a few were necessary. Mr. Strain spoke but a few- mo ments, asked his friends, as they had known him for nineteen years, to con sider his standing as a man, and vote as they saw fit. Mr. Strain will run best where he is best known. Mr. Clapp spoke jot long enough to let the people know that he was a man of deep thought and few words. It was shown plainly that the strr3' circulated by the Independents in re gard to Mr. Clapp's voting for bonds was utterly false, as the poll books of Lafayette precinct show that no man by the name of Clapp voted at either of said elections. Mr Dundas next spoke, confining himself to matters pertaining to the schools of the county. He also refer ed to the unfair means taken by the opposition to create the impression that the. school funds of the State had been stolen by Republican legisla ture, he thought that other reasons could be given for the decline in the interest in the schools for the last two years, and said if he (Dundas) did not get hut twelve votes in the county, he wanted to get. those twelve by fair play and not by any misrepre sentation. Col. Majors was callsd ontand made an excellent speech. He presented a certificate .signed by the chairman of the Independent meeting at Peru and Mr. Buck of that place, stating that. Mr. Howe did not challenge or ask Mr. Majors or anyone else to deny or dispute hid statement. This certainly does not agree with the declaration made by Mr Howe in almost every meeting that he has attended, that he dared Majors or any one else to deny, and that Majors took his hat and sneaked oft" like a whipped cur. Hon. C. Haywood was called for and spoke at some length. He was in favor of the ticket for two reasons ; first, because it. was tho sound Repub lican ticket and secondly because the ticket was made up of the best men in the county. Mr. L. Mason came forward and made a few remarks. Mr. M. is a Democrat but says ho can support only a part of the men on the Inde pendent ticket. John Wlxeti was called out and made the people laugh heartily by his remarks and actions. He will make a splendid actor if he will but practice. He has very elastic limbs ami a verj' pliable tongue. Tho meeting was well attended. B. JS& Grand Opening1 tions by &. f..ovmnn. of Ko- The very newest thing in the SHOE LINE at McPherson's corner, No. G6. A good temperance friend said to us that wo ought to support Mr. Church from the fact that he belongs to the same temperance organization that we do. We answered him by saj'ing that that was no reason at all for us, aud that the organization re ferred to requires no such thing. We would not belong to a secret society a quarter of a second that would under take to dictate, politically or religi ously, to us. Mr. Church does not suit us even as a temperance reformer. We differ upon that question material ly. Hebellevesin totally prohibiting the manufacture, sale and use in uny form, of spirituous liquors, while we do not. We Intend to believe in the manufacture and use of liquor so long as whisky is considered the most ef fective remedy for snake bites, and so long as it Is considered the best thing for any other good use. Mr. Church believes that laws regulating the liquor traffic are a curse and should be doneawaj with, while we, as a tem perance man, believe the contrary, and that any evil dangerous to the public welfare, that cannot be pre vented should be regulated by well considered and reasonable laws. Furthermore, while we love to see athletic sports, we despise, in a politi cal sense, a political acrobat aud jig dancer. Mr. Church being such a politician, if we agreed on temper ance matters, we would not support him if he were bleached with spring water and chalk until as free from stimulapfs qs a cottonwood fence rail. A CART). Editor Nebraska Advertiser. In last week's Granger appears an article written by some one over the signature of "Aspinwall." I would consider it altogether be neath my notice were it not for the base, lying insinuations contained therein. Now, I am greatly mistaken if I am not pretty well acquainted with the author of that beautiful composi tion, and also with the reason of his personal animosity to me, and beg leave toassure him, that judging from his appearance he must be better able to decide the question "how often in a year a man can get 'boozy' (as he so classically expresses it,) and still be a temperance man," than I am ; for, judging from the gentleman's appear ance and manners lam inclined to think that sometime, many years ago, probably during the late war, (as I believe he claims to have been in the service,) he must accidentally have come across a jug of whiskey and got most gloriously drunk; to recover from the effects of which he has ever since been indulging in seidlits pow ers and soda water, with occasionally something stronger, without any ben eficial results. At all events his rea son for joining the temperence socie ty at Aspinwall exhibited more self ishness than desire to benefit the com munity : to avoid the exjjense of treat ing his friends. The article altogether exhibits igno rance and mendacity worthy of the source from which it sprang". Respectfully, Henry M. Jones. " Grand Opening of Hats and Caps by &. Lowiuan, Mr. Higgins, Independent can didate for County Commissioner, tells the people through the county that it is uhsolutely necessary to elect him again, and that the interests of the public, in railroad matters especially, will suffer greatly nhould he be de feated. What a tremendous fellow Higgins must be by his own estima tion. County affairs must be in a horrid shape if nobody but Higgins can attend to them. But lie says he is the only man that can do it right he saj's so most positively. The rea son, be says, is that tho other two Commissioners, Shook and McKin ney, have not the backbone to meet and cope with such matters as rail road corporations. Ah ! indeed, won derful fellow is Higgins. But he Is the easiest man to gull on the board, aud most ready to bid for votes. He said tliis week while in this city that he expected a big vote from Brown ville. Why? Because he has prom ised to favor tho Brownville & Ft. Kearney and the Quincy railroads, and do as Brownville wishes him to. When those Qnihcy men were here a few weeks ago Mr. Higgins attended the meeting held and made a railroad speech so favorable that he was ap plauded loudly. He did this to get the vote of Browuville for his re-election and nothing else. Mr. Higgins has been, as is well known, opposed to the Trunk road, then why this sudden change for bonds? Thespeech he made here would not take so well if uttered at Peru, or St. Deroin, or out in the German settlement, orany where off" the supposed line of the western railroad. We are all going to vote for Hitrgins here in Brown ville we can't get along without him you know. HIDE3, PELTS and FURS. Wanted at W. T. DEN'S. When Mr. Church goes out elec tioneering he takes Moore of the Granger along to use his tremendous influence for him, nnd Mr. Church helps Mr. Moore edit his paper, ami so they make it reciprocal. Mr. Moore is of a very "retiring disposition" you know the principal reason being that he is a cussed fool so when he wants a plausible lie told or other dirty work done he gets Jarvis to do it provid ing always that Church Howe neglects' to come to town. Jarvis is making some frantic efforts just now to get lm foot out of it, and to fix up matters with Penick's men. But he can't fix worth a cent his stories are too thin, and Jarvis' wolf tail is too percepti ble from the sheep ekin under which he is always to be found ; he has worn It so long that it has become entirely too short. Mr. Church is one of the editors of the Granger, and the peo here know it well, and all agree that he is as much responsible for the in sults to soldiers and 'Republicans which have appeared in that paper, as the retiring editor himself. We are well satisfied that Moore would never have thought of saying that Penick's men were a regiment of jay hawkers, thieve and guerrillas, if Church had not instigated it, and come to the help of the editor of the "retiring disposition" in the Omaha Herald over the. signature of "Nixie." This sorry brace of foul birds, Is re penting just a little too late. They have just begun to learn that they made a-most reckless mistake when they attacked a whole regimentof men for the meagre gratification of abus ing the editor of The Advertiser. S- Grand Opening of Roots and Shoes by L.. Louman. Voters look well to your tickets read carefully just before you vote, and see that you are not deceived. We give this caution from the fact that there are many tickets going out containing names from both the reg ular tickets. While we believe that a candidate has the right to have his name on both tickets and various kinds of tickets; we also believe that every voter should vote for whomso ever he pleases, and should not Inad vertantly vote for anybody. Read the names on your ticket before you vote. JEST Grand Openings of Dry Goods by L,. Loivman. "A GOOD INVESTMENT." We take pleasure in announcing this week that we have eecured, from Harper Brothers, New York, the right to publish one of the most interesting serial stories that was ever written. "A GOOD INVESTMENT," will be introduced to our readers the first week in November, arid will run between four and five months. Those who do not already take the Adver tiser and desire to do so during the continuation of this splendid story, can have it for the reduced sum of 50 cents, only the price of the story as published in book form. We make this offer in order that all may have a chance to read the story, aHd at the same time, as an inducement to tr3 our paper. The story needs no com ment as to its fitness to be read by any one further than to say it has been deemed worthy of a place in Harper's Monthly, one of the most carefully edited, most interesting and popular magazines in the world; besides this we, after a careful perusal, endorse it as one of the most interesting and least pernicious stories we ever read. The plot is during the late rebellion, and runs through Ohio, Kentucky and Louisiana; opening about the time of Morgan's memorable raid in to Ohio. The scenes through which it passes cannot fail to be familiar to many of our readers; and the inci dents connecting it with the war are so correctly and vividly described as to give it a historical value. Any person sending us a trial club of ten or more, accompanied by the cash, will receive the paper free to the end of the story. Considering that the offer is a great reduction for the paper, with the Story as an induce ment over and above our well filled columns of home and foreign news, &c, &c, it will be a comparatively easy task for any canvasser to make up a club in any neighborhood, as the most astute cannot fail to see that either the Advertiser by itself, or the Story by Itself, (both for less than the usual price of either,) is "A G003 INVESTMENT."

A Mr. Keelar and his wife, who are of tlie Keelar family of Spiritual ists, so noted among spiritualists everywhere, of Moravia, New York, arrived in this city last Wednesday, and have given several seances in Brownville aud Nemaha City. We had the pleasure of attending some of the meetings and saw many wonder ful performances that were unaccount able to us and baffled every effort of committees to detect deception. Mr. Keelar invites the closest possible scrutiny, and up to this time, during eighteen years in the business, no fraud of his has been detected, if any were practiced, and the various as tounding feats performed, have never been accounted for by any person not a spiritualist. Everybody has heard and read of the unaccountable per formances "of the Davenports. The Keelars give about the same kind of demonstrations, equally as difficult to understand. We will notat this time go UKa detail of what we saw, heart! and felt at the seances. We had tlie privilege, sis all have, of free, perfect aud unconditional examination of the paraphernalia and fixtures connected with the mediums, and were perfect ly satisfied that we witnessed acts en tirely removed from the possibilities of mortal man or woman to perform. Should we fill columns about what we saw and otherwise experienced, as we could, the bigot ami self-conceited fool would say we were deceived, and the truth Would amount to nothing We are an investigator and dare seek for truth wherever and whenever op portunity offers, not being like a door upon its hinges nor bound to run in anj- doctrinal groove. Let those who dare investigate. Those who dare to investigate this subject can have am ple opportunity offered them by at tending the seances of the Keelars. Gents, If you want a NOBBY HAT, call on H. H. Dolen, at McPherson's corner, No. 6G. Mr. Campbell, Postmaster at Howard, called on the Advertiser this week. He says the communica tion signed "Washington," in the The Advertiser of week before last regarding the understanding hereto fore between the Republican and Democratic Independents, was exact ly true, ami that the Democracy for two years now have been outrageous ly imposed upon by the Republican wing of the Independent party ; that last year the only Democrat on their ticket, Mr. Stokes, was defeated by the Republican Independents throw ing off on Stokes, nnd that this year thereisnotasingle IndependentDem crat on the ticket. Dave Plasters is not an Independent and never pre tended to belong to the party. Mr. Campbell says that in Ills part of the county the Democrats are supporting the straight Republican ticket; that if the brains of the Independent par ty belong solely to the Republican wing, he will take Republicanism iii its purity and vote the straight ticket. BS Grand Opening of Cloth in? by Li.liovrnmn. "Nixie" and the editor of the Granger are both of rather "retiring disposition," and they ingloriously retire before the single battery of a Penick jayhawker. "Nixie" will un doubtedly think at least twice before he again rushes frantically to the res cue of another editor possessed with a retiring disposition. A fool is. wise in his own conceit; and "that's what's the matter" with "Nixie"and the Granger man. District Court is in Session in this city this week. Judge Gantt, presid ing.

It is with some degree of pride that we announce that a citizen of our city carried off several of the most covet ed prizes from the Richardson Coun ty Fair held at Salem last week. "Ne braska Maid" took two pacing pre miums, one on Thursday and one on Friday. The Maid also was awarded the first ribbon as the best saddle nag. The Doctor's mare Nellie, took the first premium as a roadster; and his bay three-year-old Stallion, "Hamil tonian Chief," received the first award as a thoroughbred horse. By-the-way we will note that Hamiltonian Chief is a fine colt, over fifteen and a half hands high nnd weighs fully one thousand pounds. Ted. Huddart, also, was at Salem with his horse "Wakefield," who took a second premium on pacing and first premium as the best gelding of any age or breed. Good for Brownville. Buy your FURNITURE, at W. T. DEN'S. But a few weeks ago Mr. Church intimated to certain friends of his in the Republican party, that he would like to be reinstated in the old Re publican party. He, like many others expressed the opinion that it would not do to permit the Democratic party to ohtain ascendency in the Gover ment; that the political outlook at the present time was dark and that it was every man's duty to see that such a retrograde movement in the administration of Government affairs should not bo successful. Just what Mr. Church expected the parly to do to reinstate him we do not know, but from his actions since we judge that he would have come back had the party nominated him to an office. But as the pnrty did not do so he is a candidate in opposition to it, and is hob-nobing daily with the Democra cy whom he said ought to be defeated, and stuffing them with his hypnetiti cal blarney in order to get their votes. And in his public speeches he says the Republican party is a party of cor ruptionists, robbers, plunderers and everything that is mean. Question : If Mr. Church was honest in wanting back into the Republican party, a few weeks ago, is it possible that he can be honest now in holding a position on the Independent ticketand asking for votes from tlie old Democrats of the county? Now that Mr. Church said in substance what we above say he did, "we know to be a fact and Wesley Dundas, of Sheridan, knows the same, and was a political friend of Mr. Church until he heard him make a recent speech, by which he discov ered his awful hypocrisy. He posi tively should be ignored by every up right candid man who loves a straight forward honest courseand hates frauds and trickery. Why is it that Higgins, a resi dent of of the extreme northwestern part of the county, expects a large majority of the votes of Brownville? There is a nigger In the wood pile, voters, depend on it. He expects our votes for what he has indicated he would do on railroad matters. Hig gins would just suit us if we believed he was honest about it. Mr. William Charles, agent of the English Capitalists interested in the Quincy, Missouri &, Pacific R. R., arrived in this city on Wednesday of this week. We presume that before he leaves he will indicate about what he'will expect Brownville, and this county, to do to securethe road.

For the balance of the offices, unless perhaps it be that of clerk, there is considerable strife and some doubts as to results, hut for the office of treasiuer, Mr. Gilmore has no opposition. We did suppose that while the Independents were nominating they would put a full ticket in the field, but they refused, hence Mr. Gil moje is running without opposition, and they felt so jolly over the blauk in their ticket that they perpetrated a joke on an old gentleman. The se verest joke of the season. A man as popular as Mr. Gilmore nnd running without opposition needs no news paper arguments in his favor; and it is onby from our high appreciation of the man and the faithful officer, in common with others, that we accord him this passing notice. The newest thing in the market is the BOX-TOE KID SHOE for the Ladies. Call at 60 McPherson Block. MR. CLAPP, Candidate for Commissioner. Mr. Clapp is not so well known through the county as we could desire. Were he well known his election would be overwhelming. In his own neighborhood nnd precinct lie com mands tha highest e6teem of every body irrespective of party, and while he may not receive a majority of the votes of his precinct Lafayette as it is supposed to bo strongly Independ ent, he will get the full vote of the Rebublican party and cut deeply into the ranks of the opposition.. Mr Clapp is a farmer of inttgriti' and ability, and of broad, genorous views regarding public enterprises, and is just the man for a most excellent county commissioner. Weassureour readers that should Mr. Clapp be elected the general interests of the county will be cared for and fostered in a manner that will give the best satisfaction to the tax-payers of the county. THE REST FORT SCOTT jG- COAL -aa anil Wood for sale by the Brownville Transfer Company. An Aspinwall Shyster. Editor Nebraska Ailvci ttsor. There is n man intlii? town by the name of Gilbert. He clerks in John S. Minick's store. This man is our Aspinwall shyster, as I suppose all noted places hap its shystes and dem agogues. This man is making him self veij' busy about election matters, and very odious to those who are ac quainted with him. I wish to show him up by briefly reviewing Ills po litical course of the present campaign. His course iias been extremely crook ed: At the Republican county conven tion Mr. Gilbert's name was present ed for the office of Superintendent of schools. John S. Minick, his employ er and friend presented his uame, and pledged him, -whether nominated or not, to the full support of the Repub lican ticket. Mr. Minick certainly did not do this without authority from Mr. Gilbert if he did, Mr. Gil bert's conduct since has brought Mr. Minick's words uttered in his remarks on that occasion, into fearful jeopardy, or else lie did not know his clerk as well as he thought he ditl regarding his"uii6wevering fidelity to the Repub lican parti'." But fortunately for the vindication of honesty, Mr. Gilbert was not nominated. Mr. Gilbert was in honor bound, by the pledge he there made through his friend, to sup port the Republican ticket. Well, how has he done it, nnd how is he treating that promise ? Tho very next Saturday, after the Republican convention, found Mr. Gilbert at Sheridan mingling with tho Inde pendents nnd making an effort to se cure the nomination for Superintend ent from that party. Now, Mr. Edi- uor, now are we to regard sucli a man ? Would he not most surely have been supporting the Republican ticket now had he got the nomina tion? would it have been an honest support? Of course not, selfish mo tives alone prompting him. Gilbert is not satisfied, it appears, with what lie can do about Minick's store in op position to the Republican ticket, but has to vent himself against the Re publican nominee for Probate Judge by rushing his falsehoods into the Granger. His charges and mean in sinuations over the signature of As pinwall last week are kuowti to be false. Mr. Jones, without half the pretensions of .Mr. Gilbert is a more successful advocate of true temper ance reform than is the latter gentle man. Mr. Jones, since hid residence in the precinct has taughtschool many months and was always at his post of duty giving universal satisfaction, and as for his gettingdrunk or 'boozy, it Is a most glaring and unkind false hood. As much as he bus been about here I never knew him to be drunk, or even to drink. On the contrary he has always been found sober indus trious, quiet, and always on time in the discharge of duty. Mr. Gilbert's most outrageously inconsistent course has called for this correspondence from me. The true Republicans of this precinct are going to stand firm ly for the whole ticket, believing the time for solid action to be here, and Mr. Jones, notwithstanding the styl of cowardly warefare indulged in by Gilbert aud other sucii stumbling blocks in the temperance 'cause, will receive at least a respectable ma jority over either Church or McCo mas.
