There Is an effort being made to

We desire to call attention to the
fact that A. D. Marsh is carrying on

Brownville expects trains over
tho Nebraska Railway by tho first of

We wonder if tho editor of the Jie

over the Nebraska Railway have been
running into Brownvillo for about a

he did not know it; and is probably
the only editor in The State that did
not know of the fact.

como to Nebraska to make it his

The 10th annual session of the I.

Wo notice that our highly es
teemed friend, and brother worker in
the cause of temperance, Rev. D. B.
Lake, at the 'annual session of tho
order of Good Templars which met at
Tecumseh last week, was elected to
the high, honorable and responsible
position of Grand Worthy Chief Tem
plar. Mr. Lake Is an able, earnest
and Industrious laborer in the field of
temperance and total abstinence, and
we doubt not that the cause and the
interest in the order will be promoted
while he is at the helm.
The Beatrice Express says :
A meeting was held at Reynolds'
hall last Thursday evening to take
what action might be deemed neces
sary to secure the completion of the
Brownville & Ft. Kearney R. R. A
committee consisting of Messrs. R. B.
Harrington, E. M. Hill, H. F. Cook,
Dr. L. B. Boggs, and John Spark9,
was appointed to correspond with
similar committees in Johnson county
and Nemaha counties, for the purpose
of keeping each locality posted on
what was being done nnd what might
be considered as best to be done.
Through an illegal consolidatian of
the Midland Pacific and Brownville
& Ft. Kearney railroads Dr. Converse

the B. & Ft. K. road from Brownville.
The people of Brownville are moving
to set aside the consolidation, and
when that is done the citizens of this
county willdoubtless be invited tolend
aid to some company using the B. &
Ft. K. road-bed. The people here are
as anxious to see the cosolidation set
aside as are the citizens of Brownville,
and to see the Q,. M. & P. extended

In "Spark's" article on the out

This is a mistake; it should have

Last Saturday we had rain and

If the city Marshal would plant the
editor of the Granger on some con
venient corner he would serve an ex
cellent purposs for the dogs to use
instead of a post.
Wo understand from pretty good
authority that Dr. Converse is about
to undertake the removal of the
Brownville & Ft. Kearney railroad
bridge which now spans the Nemaha
near Sheridan. We uderstand furth
er that should such a thing be under
taken he will be abruptly stopped ;
and effectually, for the present at least.
The people of this county are not go
ing to quietly stand by and see them
selves imposed upon in any such man
ner. Dr. Converse cannot have that
bridge, nor any other bridge on that
road, until afrer a very competent
court says he can have it.
Judge Pound has made an order
for the times of holding court in this
district as follows :

ember. That fellow who writes "Glen
Rock Items" for the Granger, and
Bagley is his name, still persists in
trying to deceive his brother Grang
ers. He says, "That there is a small
indebtedness of the State Agent Mc
Caig no one pretends to deny." If B.
calls from ten to thirteen thousand
dollars " asmatfindebtedness," then
he is correct; but he does not mean
any such thing. He knows it is
equally as much as we say it is, but
would make the people believe it is
but a trifle of a few dollars. Church
Howe does not deny our stateinenttas
to the amount, but sajs McCaig has
eight bondsmen, leaving it to be in
ferred that tho defalcation or embez
zlement is amply secured. Bagley
says this small, insignificant "indebt
edness will be liquidated at the prop
er time." We supposed that the
proper time to pay debts, or cancel ob
ligations, was when they were due.
Bagley evidently does not think so,
but that the "proper time" is at the
end of a law suit.
The Advertiser, as a friend of
the people, and not as a friend of
rings, and those who would cover up
Important cases of embezzlement, de
falcation, and misdemeanors, called
attention to this matter of McCaig.
We have always, and on every occa
sion, spoken favorably of the princi
ples of the Grange as enunciated and
taught in their purity ; and -when
Bagley, Howe, or any other mnn, says
we have not done so, we hurl the lie
squarely and unqualifiedly in their
teeth. It is when such scallawags, as
we Jmow them to be, undertakes to
run the Grange as a political party,
that wo enter our protest. We have
said, and still say, that there has
nothing in this county worked so
much injury to the Grange proper,
and caused so much division and bad
feeling among the bretbern of the
fraternity, as the efforts made by pol
iticians to use the Grange as a step
ping stone to political preferment.
We know this to be so, for hundreds
of personal friends among the Grang
ers, with whom wo' have spoken,
have agreed with us on this subject.
Let the Granges be conducted as we
believe its founders Intended it to be,
and let the members conduct them
selves according to the fraternal
teachings of the institution, leaving
politics outside, and the good it would
accomplish would be incalculable.
But when the order Is run by politi
cal demagogues men who have $5 a
day nearer the heart than the good of
tbo order then Grangers are out of
luck, and should proceed io Ssjvesti
gate with a view to purificallfi.
The PoakPamily.
Who has not heard of the "Peak
Family?" Well do we remember
when a boy, that their illuminated
(.posters were a signal for the juveniles
to commence to gather old iron, from
the size of a ten-penny nail to a cook
ing stove to realize a sufficient num
ber of coppers to gain admission to
see the "bell-ringers." Time is a
great master, and brings many chan
ges. "Little Fannie" and "Master
Eddie," as they are called, who are
still with the troupe, have grown to
respectable man and womanhood. The
old gentleman and and lady are now
in their seventies, and of course can
lend but little towards the entertain
ment. But their presence help to re
mind one of tho pleasant early asso
ciations. This is the 34th season they
have been on the road, and have ad-
d2d new attractions as the age re
quired. Their long experience has
enabled them to secure theservicesof
the best performers in the country.
They now number twelve performers
and an auxiliary of a fine silver cor
net band. Prominent among tho
members now attached to the troupe
is Mr. Alf. Wyman, the popular com
edian ; Frank Hewett, flute and pico
lo player. The boy wonders, "Dot
and Jap," and little "YakcnNeu,
the infant cornetist, and a host of oth
ers. They are considered to be the

The cloth peddler, we understand,

Wo warn the people to give him a
wide berth. Don't touch his goods or
enter into any bargain to do so. You
will surely bo swindled if vou do.
A year or so ago the cloth peddler
went through our county giving what
eeemed to be most excellent bargains,
but lie did not more than get away
until those with whom he had dealt,
discovered that his goods were not so
good as they looked or were represent
ed, thad the measurement was short,
aud that the whole thing was a grand
swindle.
We remember when the' cloth ped
dler was here at tho time spoken of, a
good, honest old farmer, shrewd
ordinarily, too, down by Nemaha
City, bought quite a bill of goods from
the peddler and gave his note for the
same. Of course he thought he was
getting a magnificent bargain much
better than ho could get at any of the
stores in the city, but next day after a
careful examination of his goods, he
was up looking for the Sheriff; with

the state is abundant. It is true that
more rain falls during the year in
many places east, but here it comes
when most needed. The latter half
of May and the first half of June are
heralded by an abundance of showers.
The rainy season varies some in
length and time from year to year,

period."

His railway convention at Lincoln
was a splendid sham. The
Lincoln company so called cannot
guarantee a railroad. When the right
man steps forward and inspires the

only vote bonds, but give a road bed

der is a pleasant speaker and will be
sure to interest hfs hearers.
Elder Thomas will commence a
protracted meeting a week from next
Saturday evening assisted by Elder
Bolinger, of Johnson Co. Both have
tho reputation of being excellent
preachers.
E. Hikes is intending to remove his
family toTecumseh In a short time.
A splendid opportunity is offered to
some man to open up a stock of goods
at this place. No better point for a
mau with small capital can be found
in the state.
Elder Barrow, of Tecumseh, held
services at the school house, Friday
evening and Saturday morning; or
ganized a church with something like
24 members. We have at present
three'eburch organizations, viz: Bap
tist, Christian and United Brethren.
Our Sheridan friends seriously
disturbed our usual equanimity Tues
day evening by asserting that our op
position to the county seat removal
the result of our fears that it would
injure our town. Any man with a
thimble full of brains, even tho tran
sfer's Glen Rock Itemizer, (whoso idi
otic nbreviations cost tho editor of
that readerless journal 52 copies a
year,) never afflicted us much worse
than this. Please do give us a rest.

The maintenance of Health.
Tho maintenance of health Is often more
difficult than Us recovery. Vitiated condi
tions of the atmosphere, unhealthy occupa
tions, extremes of hen tor cold, and constant
exposure to rough weather, are all so many
provocations of disease There is but one
sure way of effectually guarding tho system
when thus subjected to Influences prejudicial
to health, and that is to establish, by judici
ous tonic and alterative medication, vigor of
the body and regularity of its functions.
The properties of an lnvigorant and correc
tive nro happily combined in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which, at the samo time
that It Infuses unwonted vitality into tho
system, overcomes all tendency of the stom
ach, liver, bowels and urinary orgaps to devi
ate from regularity in the discharge of func
tions upon which tho welfare of tho entire
physical organization Is dependent. Health
cannot be more effectually maintained than
by using the Bitters.

It is the duty of all persons.beforestartlng
onajourney to ascertain by what route they
can reach their destination with the least
trouble, and If there aro two or more roads
leading to the'sarae point, to decide which is
the safest and pleasantest to travel.
"Wo take pleasure In stating that tho Cin
cago & Nokth-Westerx Railway Is the
oldest, and several miles the shortest, route
between Omaha and Chicago. Within the
past two years th road bed has been put In
admirable condition, and almost the entire
line has been relald with steel rails.
The Depot In Chicago Is centrally located,
and as their trains nrrivo'there thirty min
utes In advance of all other lines, passengers

nections. For all points in Northern and
North-Eastern Iowa, you should purchase
tickets via Marshall, Cedar Rapids, or Clin
ton. For points in Northern Illinois or"WIs
consln, via Fulton; and If you are going to
Chlcaso, or East, yon should, by all means,
