found,' Bwimming in the Mis
souri river, from the Missouri Bide op
posite Brownville, a light bay horse,
left hind, foot whito, collar marks,
small white spot iu forehead, about
14 or 15 hands high, and about 10 or
11 years old. The owner can get the
horse by calling on Luther Robinson,
proving property and paying charges.
Our readers will find this number
o crowded with matters of local in
terest official reports, Normal School
history, etc.. etc., as to leave very
little room for news from abroad. Our
aim, in which we labor most earnest
ly, is to make the Advertiser a per
fect medium for home news, and for
eign news will always be held subor
dinate thereto.
Elsewhere in our paper, this
week, we print a historical sketch of
our State Normal School. This ac
count was prepared for publication In
n Centennial volume to bo issued by
the National Bureau of Education,
designed to give a comprehensive
sketch of the history, nnd present
condition of all the Normal SchoolB
In this country. Tho peculiar make
up, of somo parts of the sketch, is
due to the fact that it is written In ac
cordance with a sketch plan furniBh-
ed by the Bureau.
An tho Rkp.tch contains matter of
general Iuterest we are please to lay it
before our readers
Week after next wo will com
mence the publication of a thrilling
V interesting serial storj entitled:
"liachcl: the Miser's Daughter." This
story abounds in scenes and incidents
60 well described, and portrayed In
such vivid terms, as cannot fall to ab
Eorb and please the reader from first
to last. We anticipate, that long be
fore Its conclusion, our readers will
appreciate still more our constant ef
fort, in this, as in all else, to give them
Q paper fully up to the standard of the
eat weeklies, and worthj' not only
their present liberal support, but their
iindly eflbrts to Increase the same.
The Btory will run between three and
four mouths, and those desiring a
good readlble home newspaper will
find this serial story itself fully worth
the cost of subscription.
The County Commissioners did
not decide at their meeting last week
to call an election on the county 6eat
removal questlou. Will meet again on
Tuesday tho ISth to take the matter
again Into consideration. The Com
missioners will not put the tax-payers
of the county to.tho heavy expens
es of two or three elections, unless It
ehall appear to be' their lawful duty
o to do; especially at such a time as
this, when the people ate groaning
under taxation, and when there is
great doubt that these elections are
really desired by any considerable
number, notwithstanding the peti
tions. WuJiin the last week we have heard
tbe erpre3s'on f many who favor the
Removal sometlxnei but not now not
until times get good again, and webe
Hftve that a remonstrance against
present action by the Commissioners,
or in favor of a postponement of the
matter, would be aB successful in pro
curing signajures a3 the petition for

-We learn, that Charles Drain, son
of J. H. Drain near Kemaha City,
Bled on Tuesday evening of this
week.
i .nenry jonn u mst tetter euvs ue
authorized Church Howe to "pay to
the government such amount of loss
bb the government had suflered, but
that he did not give Howe a $200
check to defray the expenses. That
is a terribly thin story.
Mr. Livingston, "who resides just
west of the cemetery, having first
secured the consent of the city coun
cil, nas changed the road preparatory
to fencing his lota and making gar
den. Notwithstanding this there
are those who still persist In driving
over his garden, and to such he wishes
to say that if the act is repeated he
will have the offenders arrested.
It is with much pleasure we wel
come the "London Lispiugs" this
week after an interval of time so long.
We assure our correspondent of that
place that ner weekly items of news
and genial thought have been greatly
missed by us and our readers. We
have been grieved to hear of her poor
health, and are glad she is able again
to greet ub, hoping her recovery may
be speedy and permanent.
The Granger says the Kearney
Press is aided by "The Advertiser
and one or two other papers," when
the truth is every respectable, unsub
sidized pap'er in the State speaks bold
ly its belief in Howe's corruption.
The North Platte Republican, in con
firmation of this truth, says:
Church Howe is about the worst
thumped and pummeled man in the
State. All along the line the State
press are "ventilating the littleness of
his impecunious and miserly soul. If
the Kearney Press1 charges result in
no other good than in securing the
ventilation of the real and infinitesi
mal character of thia wart on tho
Grange body politic, brother Eaton
may rest his soul in peace.
On last Thursday evening we
had the pleasure of attending the
dramatio entertainment in McPher
son Hall, given under the auspices of
the Knights of Pythias. To say that
we were delighted but feebly express
es our feelings on that occasion. It is
not too much to say that the occasion
in all ltd E3pecta and surroundings
was the most felicitous that ever oc
curred in our city. It was made so
by the happy selection of subjects,
the cast or characters, the perfect and
most agreeablejmanner in which each
player performed his or her part,
showing admirable artistic aptness in
grasping and illustrating the faults,
follies, impulses and emotions that
characterize human nature in social
life, and as illustrated in "Every
body's Friend." A stranger would
have supposed that the performers
were old experienced comedians, so
well did they bear themselves,
We have heard various opinions
expressed as to who carried their
characters best, especially of the lady
performers, but have not heard any
two persons agree, thus leaving us in
doubt as to who was tho favorite of
the players, if there was one more ad
mired than another, which wo do not
believe. The hall was crowded with
appreciative spectators, who frequent
ly manifested their genuine admira
tion at the manner this club, their
neighbors and friends, were acquit
ting themselves. The talle'ut dis
played gives us & fet'ling of pride that
we have such in our city, and we ex
press the feeling of our citizens gener
ally by hoping this same club will
prepare itself for another entertain
ment during the summer.

The Dramatic Entertainment.
Editor Nebraska Adveitlser.
Permit one who witnessed, greatly
admired and enjoyed, to speak a word
commendatory of the artistlo rendi
tion of "Everybody's Friend" by the
Brownvllle Amateur Dramatic Asso
ciation, under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias, at McPherson
Hall, Thurfday evening last.
As in our home musical entertain
ments frequently given, this exhibl
bition demonstrates that as well in
dramatio performance we need not go
abroad for genuine talent. Our musi
cal exhibitions have been pronounced
by the critical and experienced com
plete successes. Of this first dramat
ic effort the same may be truthfully
said. In fact, on old established
boards, and by experienced and pro
fessional nctors, the play in question
has seldom, if ever, been better ren
dered than by the Brownvllle club.
Every part was performed with ad
mirable accuracy and perfection.
There was, on the part of eaoh partic
ipant, perfect self-reliance, compos
ure, comprehension of the play, ele
gant bearing of the person, pure pro
nunciation and emphasis. While ev
ery actbr and actress acquitted them
selves with gfedt credit, the acting of
Mrs. Huddart was extraordinary,
and merits special mention. The
skill she exhibited gave undeniable
evidence of superior natural gift,
worthy of cultivation.
The oharacter and size of the house,
order and profound attention, was the
best of evidence that the perform
ance was highly appreciated. Every
body went to hear "Everybody's
Friend," and everybody went away
delighted. Admirer.
Mrs. M. G. Cook is receiving her
spring stock of millinery goods, and
would invite the ladles of Brownvllle
and vicinity to give her a call and ex
amine her stock of millinery and
fancy goods, and every thing in that
line; and would ask them for a liber
al share of their patronage. Particu
lar attdntion paid to dress making
and dress trimming. Will be fonnd
at her old stand at the foot of College
street.
Miss A. H. Crater has ppened a
millinery and fancy story, north side
Main street, near Carson's bank. She
is an experienced milliner; buys her,
goods in New York, and will sell
cheaper than you can imagine. Or
ders for dress making and dress trimming-solicited.'

School Exhibition at Johnson.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
It was my delight to spend a few
hours with my Johnson friends last
Thursday. I was invited to witness
the public exhibition which the peo
ple had prepared after a great deal of
time and labor. It is common to
think that tho country people, hav
ing no especial advantages, cannot get
up more than an ordinary school ex
hibition. But this wassurely not the
case at Johnson. Their exercises
throughout, consisting of singing, es
says, dialogues, recitations, &c., were
carefully prepared. WhllsE I can
praise all, still some executed their
parts better than others, owing, in a
certain degree, to the position of the
performers. Tho singing was good.
The essays of Laura and Hannah
Snodgrass evinced careful prepara
tion and originality of thought. Jud
Wright, as a candidate for; congress,
made us think of the average con
gressman, saying much, yet nothing.
Price Snodgrass and Charles Mangon
did themselves justice as negro actors.
The dialogues were well selected and
finely rendered. I could speak of ev
ery performer, but your Bpace being
valuable I will only say thateachand
every one acted their various parts
well. Too much praise cannot be
given to Gadis Hagemau, the leader
of the exhibition. .

Sir The entertainment given by
the Model Department of the State
Normal School, in our opinion
surpasses the average. The exercises
without exception were good, and the
stage attractive. The audience was
fair, notwithstanding the stormy
night. Had the weather,been favora
ble the bouse would have been filled.
Cheerful faces -and an occasional
hearty laugh told us our.'friends were
pleased. Closing exercise, a tableau.
Yours gratefully,

Howard has a tln-sbop. All per
sons who wish anythiug Jn.that line
of business will do well to go there.
J. M. Campbell returned from the
east a few days since. He has pur
chased a large stock of goods which
he proposes to sell a's cheap as nny
store in the county.
Quite a number of persons Jn this
vicinity are making preparations to
start for the Black Hills soon. We
hope their "great expectations" may
all be realized.
We have often heard people com
plain of the length of a road, and
sometimes of their breadth, but the
trouble here, for Eometime past, has
been their depth.
The farmers here are busy put
ting in their spring grain; although
the season is very bankward almost
every one seems to anticipate good
crops.
Speaking of loafers reminds us
that Howard is afllicted with a few;
and the worst of it is that they are
mostly boys and young men. Come
boys remember that loafing around
town never made a man of any one
yet.
The way to correct an evil is to
commence at its roots. If the people
wish to reform politics and to secure
honest public officers they must at
tend the primary meetings, and see
that such men are selected as dele
gates as will represent the real wish
of tho people. It seems to us to be a
poor policy to stay at homo and take
no part !n the s'electiug of candidates
ami then complain becauso bad men
get elected to ofiice.

This'befng the centennial year,
we hope to have the heaviest crops of
cereals, grain and fruit, that Nebras
ka ever had.
Farmers are in earnest putting in
grain, trusting to the earth to yield
her increase.
We had a nice little scandal case
a few daj-s ago uncle and niece. An
officer of justice went after the uncle
and found him absent; gone to parts
unknown ; did not leave a lock of
halrbehind.
Wm. Bunford, tho blacksmith,
is at work again, and hopes to see his
old friends at the forge. Like the
shoemaker at his last, Bunford can

Among the many events which
were not chronicled tho past winter,
we will record a few : A daughter
was born unto David and Fannie
Pierson, a daughter was born unto
Geo. and Mattio McGrew, a daughter
was. born unto Freeling and Bello
Gibson.
Joseph Winters, who has been
quite sick, is getting better.
Mrs. Nathan Coleman, who has
been very sick with pneumonia, is re
stored to usual health again.
Mr. Jason Harding, from the
mining districts of Colorado, has
spent the fast winter with his uncle
John Harding. He Is an intelligent
young man, with much natural abili

Yes, reader, I .have been an In
valid for more than half a year; not
able to write a word for the.dear old
Advertiser. And more, Dr. Holla
day says I must put aside my pen and
not read and write fso much. (You
know I said I would tell on you Dr.)
It is a bitter pill, you see, yet a wise
prescription, I expect. Ho says knit
and sew a little; visit, travel about,
come down out of tho ideal into the
real; and more than all, get a spin
ning wheel! I do believe that i3 a
centennial prescription. Well, there
is poetry in a spinning wheel. Did I
not make it plain to Bro. Sheridan
that there is poetry every where? Has
not the spinning wheel been Immor
talized In song? Have we not heard
of "Jennie and thespinning wheel?"
So I must come on the stage in a new
character that of a lady farmer, I
gdess, which is not altogether new,
either. How- much I will be able to
write for The Advertiser will be
seen as the future unfolds my destiny.
Mrs. Mary Seymour, at the resi
dence of the widow Dysarfc, passed
from earth to a higher life April 4th,
Seventy-two years of probationary
experience of earth-life were granted
hex. She was a worthy member of the
M. E. Church, and much respected
by all who knew her. She had been
living at the residence of her son,
Henry Seymour, and went to spend a
few days with Mrs. Dysart ; waa tak
en sick there, her illness was brief but
severe. She died o( pneumonia, af
ter an illness of one week.
Mother Seymour left an aged com
panion. They had traveled harmo
niously together in wedded life for
over half a century. May father
Seymour find abundant support for
this hour of trial .inrthe religion of
Christ, whoso consolations have been

Dragging Out Existence.
The nervous, weekly invalid does not en
joy life, but merely "drags out existence," as
the phrase is. Unfitted for tho active pur
suits of life, and Incapable of partaking of
Its pleasures, to which health alone can give
a zest ; disinclined to social intercourse, and
a prey to melancholy, the valetudinarian is
Indeed an object of pity. Yet there is noth
ing in all this that cannot be remedied by
that genial alterative tonic and nervine,
Ilostettetter's Stomach Bitters, which sup

Hystem. and overcomes those bodilv Irrpsru-
Llarltles to which nervous weakness is most

kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion and
uterine troubles are fertile sources of debili
ty. Their eradication, however, becomes a
matter of certainty when Hostctter's Stom

purpose. Tho Bitters likewise annihilate
and prevent fever and ague and other debili
