the present time we would not desire
to see more agreeable winter weather.
We see by our Johnson Jottings

Prof. Baldwin and wife, who ad
vertise to expose every phase of spir
itualism, gave two performances in
McPherson Hall, this city, last week.
The audiences each evening were only
moderately large. The second even
ing was a repetition of the first, with
the addition of the exposition. On
the first evening he does his tricks,
but does not expose them ; he then
announces that on the next evening
he will show how .each trick is done.
He is a sharp young man, and takes
this course to get a double fee from the
people, knowing that those who see
his tricks the first night wll go back
the next to see how they were done.
People who attend Baldwin's show
see as much by attending only the
second or third night 03 If they at
tended the first. In this Prof. Bald
win, although he may be exposing
humbugs, is himself a swindler, and
an obtainer of money under false pre
tenses. A gentleman attending the
first night's performance here said to
us. "I went tp see,not.only the mani
festations of spiritualism, but the ex
position of the same as per advertise
ments, but I cannot go to-morrow
night, and so I am swindled out of
my seventy-five cents, because I did
not Eee what the professor promised to
show me, and what I went purposely
to see the exposition."
However, we have heard no one
who attended the performances ex
press regret, but on the contrary ev
erybody was well pleased, and en
joyed th entertainment well, wheth
er thpy exposed spiritualism or not.
The professor and his wife performed
several very- Interesting- tricks, and
showed the spectators how they were
done, and the secrets of performing
them. Some were old tricks of ledg
erdemain, old to everybody who ever
attended slightof hand performances ;
but the professor did them all well,
and the little boys were delighted.
Take the performance altogether,
however, several tricks were per
formed which puzzled the wisest
heads, but were simple enough and
all mystery vanished when explained
or exposed. Spiritualists who were
present certainly received a most sal
utary lesson on gullibility. Those who
attended Baldwin's performances will
be very cautious hereafter about re
ceiving every manifestation that par
takes somewhat of the mysterious, as
communications from the spirit world.
While Prof. Baldwin utterly fails to
expose spiritualism, as intelligent
spiritualists know it to exist by intel
ligent tests ; and while h,. untruly as
serts that there is no such thing as
mesmerism, mind-reading, or clair
voyance, he Is at the same time doing
much good in the way of cautioning
the public against humbugs and
frauds, and teaching professed spirit
ualists thnt if their belief depends al
together on physical demonstrations,
it rests on a very insecure foundation.
The old admonition, "prove all things
and hold fast to that which is good,"
is a good one, and just as good for
spiritualists as for any other class of
people.

Mr
We had the pleasure of meeting
Hon. J. C. Lincoln, of Salem, in the
city on Monday of this week. He in
formed us that the Nebraska Railway
lacks only about three miles of being
entirely finished to Salem. Notwith
standing the efforts that have been
made to change the line of the road
to a more direct route to Falls City,
there has been no variation from the di
rect line to Salem, and Mr. Lincoln
does not entertain the Idea that Dr.
Converse intends to turn the road to
Falls City, and raakja that place Its
present terminus, as has been euld by
Falls City people would be the case if
the bonds favorable to the lattar plact
should be voted. The work, while
that election was pending, was not
suspended to await its result, but went
steadily forward toward Salem, which
would be a useless heavy expense in
curred should that route now beaban
doned. Not only that, but every bond
voted for the Salem route would be
forfeited and lost to the company. The
points to which the road was to run,
named and stipulated as conditions
upon which bonds were voted to the
Salem fonte. .akes the road on south
beyond Salem, precludinglhe possi;
bility of touching Falls' City.; and
any varlntion from tills agreed upon
line will forfeit the bonds.
It has been said by the Falls Citj
papers that Dr. Converse, in case Falls
City secured to him the requisite
amount of subsidy, would run his
road to the A. & N. road opposite Sa
lem, then, without touching the A. &
N. run down along side and make the
junction with that road at Falls City.
This imaginary plan is laughed at by
the Salem people as impracticable. mil
absurd. They think that Dr. Con
verse would hardly run his road in
such a roundabout way unless very
sure he would be well paid for it; He
wouldscarcely do such a thing thus
"whipping the devil around the
stump" hoping to receive a double
portion of subsidy, but knowing that
he was violating the conditions upon
which bonds were voted, and liable to
loe more than he would gain. Mr.
Lincoln says if this course is under
taken, or any otherpne unreasonably
violating the conditions upon which
the people of Salem voted the bonds,
their issuance will be stubbornly re
sisted. Mr. Lincoln, however, thinks
the road will be completed, and at as
eorly o day as possible, upon the reg
ular Salem route, and' that there will
be no trouble or law suits about it.
Dr. Converse Is now making every
effort to procure the iron for the road.
It was thought that the iron was all
secured through the Missouri Pacific,
but the repent failure and bankruptcy
of that company made its credit
worthless, and the Dr. was disap
pointed and had to seek better back
ing. What success he has met with,
or is likely to meet with, is unknown
to us.

$1.50.
Some of our subscribers are paying
up the old score, and renewing by
paying a year in advance. We hope
that this good and pleasant work will
goon until all can say, 'To we the
printer nothing."
In adopting the advance payment
system, we have concluded to reduce
the prlceofljHE Advertiser to$1.50
a year, so thai none can have the ex
cuse of taking an eastern paper in
stead of their home paper, because an
eastern, paper can be had so much
cheaper. In exacting advance pay
ment at this reduced rate, we ask
nothing unreasonable of nur friends
and patrons. They cannot get an
eastern paper without pay in advance,
and we certainly cannot understand
why their home paper, which uses its
directand special influence to advance
their prosperity should be treated
with less liberality and respect than
an eastern paper which is not at all
interested In. either the weal or woe
of our people and county.
Now, remember that we
1
have no
other terms for our paper no two
dollars at the end of the year, nor
anything of that kind; our only
terms by the year Is Si. 50 in advance.
Believing that this new order of
things will, meet with the hearty ap
probation of all our old and new sub
scribers, we invite them to call and
see us, and pay up old. arrears, if they
owe any, and $1.50 for the year to
come.
There was an elopement extraor
dinary occurred here on Tuesday.
Master Frank Cogswell, son of A. P.,
aged about 12 years, and little Minnie
Bear, daughter of J. K. Bear, aged 8,
who lives with Mr..Cogsweli, conclu
ded to strikeout for themselves, and
on Tuesday morning instead of going
to school the leftlthe city afoot. Their
departure was not discovered until in
the afternoon, whenjJMr. Cogswell
tried to hunt up" the runaways with
out satisfactory resultt, nobody hav
ing the least idea what had become of
them. But the mystery was solved
before night. Mr. Harless, who runs
the daily mail hack',between this city
and St. Deroin,. when on his return
trip toward the latter place, just this
side of Aspinwall, about 3 o'clock p.
m., overtook the elopers, and asked
them to ride, and his kind invitation
wa nccepted. He, not knowing who
they were, enquired, and was told
promptly that they were brother and
sister, that their name was Weir, that
their parents were dead, and that they
were going to AspInAvall, but when
asked why they were going to Aspin
wall they were at a lots to tell. This
was enquiring further into their ar
rangements than theyjhad anticipated
and Mr. Harless suspected that they
were deceiving him. At Aspinwall
he let them out of his wagon, and re
quested Mr. Woodward to enquire In
to the matter. This Mr. W. did7but
could elicit nothing satisfactory from
them. But Mr. eemen of this city
happening to be at Aspinwall. learn
ing of tlie matter, 6oou found them to
be Mr. CpgsweH's childron, atugtSk
ing them in hU buggy, brougritstkem
back to this citv.
" Why they ran away, or what their
aim was, if they had any, or where
they intended their destination to be,
was not ascertained. It was certainly
a case of most extraordinary precosi
ty to say the least of it.

seems to be in rather n cold state. We
don't know why. Mr. Roberts is a
fine young man, a good christian, and
a tolerably fair speaker, and every one
likes him so fur as we can learn. We
trust the church will wake up eie
long.
We saw an article some time ago
in The Advertiser about tomb
stones and monuments which pleased
us veryjnuchjphut if you could find
timettoArisit the6eauiliy?cemetery on
the bill near the State buildings, you
.would see something far morenvon

tomb stones, fences, evergreens, and
beautiful garlands that encircle the
graves of our deported friends, lovely
wulks with gravel and shells, and
