Chicago has what they call a float

children was a happy concep

The N. Y. Sun says the fierce com
petition for railroad trafio in "times of

Some of the papers of the State are
advocating Primary Elections, instead
of Caucuses. Kenesaw Times.
That Is a bigger humbug than the
caucus system. Primary elections
when there is as much interest taken
as there should be, is more calculated
to stir up strife and engender bitter
feeling than any other plan of nomi
nating. Our opinion is that under
present political circumstances in
many counties, especially in Nema
ha, that general mass conventions
will give the greatest possible satis
faction to the voters.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of certain of our State papers
to continually pick at Lincoln. Now
this is no way to build up a Capital of
a State, by always fighting it aud de
faming its public institutions. We as
Nebraskans should feel proud of our
Capital, and strive to make it the city
of the State. Lincoln is near the cen
ter of Nebraska, ha3 excellent rail
road advantages, is surrouuded by a
fine farming country, and why try to
Impede its growth and general prog
ress by blackguarding it. Peru Her
ald. "We concur with our neighbor in
the sentiment of the above. Lincoln
Is not very near the center, but near
enough the center of population for
the present, and should be let alone.
We can stand it, if the rest of the
tax-payers can. But euch of theso
editors as do not get Stout to "divy"

against public execration, had better
emigrate from the state a good while
before the ten years are up. Kenesaw
limes.
The Pharisee of the Times, who in
everything he writes makes conspi
cuous the nauseating "thank God that
I am better than other men," is not,
in our opinion, really any better than
other editors. We do not know that
ho would "sell out" to Boss Stout
chean. neither do we know that of
any other editor, liut by his illogical
bosh wo judge him to talk like a per
son who Is sour becauso he can't geta
little of what ho imagines others are

much honesty and sense as the Kene
saw Times, "had bettcremigrato from
the State" on account of "public exe
cration,'' becauso they advocated the
enforcement of the law which reduces
the cost of running the Stale prison.
When all these papers are "execrat

The Kearney Press gives an ac
count of a cold blooded murder com
mitted in that oity about 3 o'clock on
the morning of the 31st tilt. The
victim was a young man of sixteen
years, by the name of Turner Can

and at tho hour named was shot by
burglars who had effected an entrance
over the top sash of a window which
had been lowered about nine Indies

awakened tho clerk, and when he
spoke, saying "here!" they fired up
on him giving him his death wound.
The robbers escaped, and their names
are not known, but a strauger or two

are suspected. A meagre description
of one of them is given as a heavy

The Lincoln Journal, true to Its in

In tho "interests of labor," or labor

If capital is oppressive are mobs and

The Russian armies are scattered and
the Turks aro uniting their armies
rapidly and whipping the invaders in
detail. In this the Turks show the
better generalship. It has been plain
from the beginning that the Russians
were having too many "Irons in the
fire" as it were. Tho number of
their soldiery is great, but they are
spread over so much territory as to
render them "too thin" to withstand
the concentrated armies of tholr foe.
The Russians will now correct this
nearly fatal error, which the history
of wars should have taught them not
to make, and they will do ono thiug

that legal notice required by law to be
printed in certain localities could not
bo published in a paper having a pat

notice of surveys should be printed in
the paper nearest to luo laud, and a
notice was published in a paper one

not satisfy the law. He said a paper

The Bird Law.
We have recently been asked about
the probablo validity of tho game or
bird law enacted at tho last session of
our legislature. The following from
tho JVcbrasca Farmer is to the point
i .t i r :. I
anu answers iu queauuu au i,u u yj
can bo answered beioro passetKupQgri
by tho supreme uourt :
THE GAME LAW TESTED.
Tho act passod by tho last legisla
ture, known as the "Game Law," has
been passed upon by Judge Pouud, of
the Second Judicial District, and hold
to be constitutional. That it will bo
carried to tho Supremo Court at the
October term we are assured.
While tho Act has many good fea
tures, it also has a few poor ones fea
tures that are liable to make it a dead
letter upon oar statute books. Not
content with protecting Insectivorous
birds, tho wise member who drafted it
and tho wise ones who assisted in put
ting it through, embraced within the
list of birds to bo protected by it the
bird-destroying hawk and owl. Nev
er was any tiling more sublimely redic
ulous, The sportsmen of Nebraska
cannot or i'o not In any single year
destroy half as many birds ub theso
two classes of birds alone. The prai
ries are alive with hawks and owls
that proy upon the little birds from
daylight until dark, and annually kill
thousandsof them yet the broad provis
ions of the bill make It a penal offence
to kill either. The cose was recently
tested as referred to above by the
arrest of a young man In Laucaster
county, who had violated its provis
ions and outraged the good name of
the State, bv shooting a hawk that
was In the act of carrying off a chick
en from tho door-yard of the offender.
Ho was first taken before a justice,
who fined him $5 and costs; appeal
was taken to the District Court, where
all the mitigating circumstances were
urged, and the defense made as strong
as possible, but to no purpose-the ac
tion of the lower court was sustained.
Henceforth, if a hawk attacks your
poultry, you are not restrained from
throwing your hat at him but let us
caution you against Jdtting him, lest
you might "wound"' him, and thus be
liable to tho full penalty of the law,
for itsoys in good English. "That from
and after the first day of June, A. D.
1877, it shall be unlawful for any per
Bon to take, toound, or kill any wild
bird or to take
or destroy any wild bird's eggs or'nest
at any time," etc. No hawk's or owl's
nests are to be destroyed either ; and
you must not take (oapture) any hawk
or owl, aB the law specifically prohib
its you from making any "pets" of
them. This Nebraska isagreatS'tato.

The Great Battle at Plema.
London, Aug. 3. A correspondent
sends from Paredln, near Plevna, a
graphic account of tho great battle
which was fought there on Tuesday,
which conveys a vivid idea of the
Russian disaster. This correspondent
is with Prince Sohkoskojaki's com
mand. And now all hopo of sucoess any
where was dead, nor did a ohance off
er to make the best of tho defeat.
Princo Schkoskojaki had not men
enough left to cover the retreat. The
Turks struck wlthoutstint. They bad
the upper hand for once and were de
termined toshow that they know how
to make the most of it. They ad
vanced in a swarm through the dusk,
on the original first position, and cap
tured the Russian cannon before the
batteries could be withdrawn.
Turkish shells began onoe more to
whistle over the ridgo above Rado
shova and fall into tho village behind
now crammed with wounded.
Streams of wounded wending their
way over the ridge were incessant;
thebadly wounded mostly lay where
they fell. Later in the darkness bane
ful Bort of mon swarmed over the bat
tle field in the shape of Bashi Bazoks,
who spared not. Lingering there on
the ridde till tho moon ro3e, our staff
could hear from below, on tho still
night air, cries of pain and entreaties
for mercy and tho yells of tho blood
thirsty fanatics' triumph. It was in
deed an hour to wring the sternest
heart. We stayed thero to learn, If it
might be, what troops wore coming
out of tho valley of tbo shadow of
death below ; if thero wero, indeed,
any at all to come. The Turks had
our rango before dark, and we could
watch the flash of the flame over
ugainst us and then listen to tho
scream of tho shell as it tore by us;
tho sound of the rifle bullets was Inces
sant, and the escort of retreating
wounded were often struck. Detach
ments at length began to come strag
gling up, but it will give an idea of
the disorganization to say that when
a company 'was called off to recover
somewhat the wounded In Radeshova
it had to be made up of men of sever
al regiments.
About nine o'clock the staff left tho
ridge, leaving it littered with groaning
mon, and moving gently lest we
should tread on the prostrate wound
ed, we lo3t our way as wo had lost our
army. Wo could find no rest for the
Bolesof our feet, by reason of alarm of
the Bashi Bazouks, who were swarm
ing in among the scattered and retir
ing Russians.
At length, at ono in the morning,
wo turned into a stubblefleld, and
making beds of the reaped grain, cor
respondent and Cossack alike rested
under the stars.
But wo wero not oven then allowed
to rest, for before 4 o'clock an alarm
came that tho Bashi Bazouks wero up
on us, and we had to rouse and tramp
away. The only protection of the
ohiof of what In the morning was a
fine army, was now a handful of Cos-
" Gen, Krudener sent word in the
morning that he had lost severely, and
could make no headway, and had re
solved to fall baok on the lino of the
river Osma. Thero had been talk of
his troops being fresh of renewing
the attackto-day with hi3 cooperation
but it Is a plain statement of facts
that we havo no troops to attack with.
A most moderate estimato is that
we have lost two regiments say 5,
000 men out of our threo brigades, a
rrlmstlv number. This takes, no ac-
nnnnt of lien, iv
nnnnf-.nf Gen. Krudener's los3. We

One cannot, iu this moment of hur
ried confusion, realize all the possible
results of this stroke, so rashly court
ed. Not a Russian soldier stands be
tween Tirnova and the victorious
Turkish army in Losrcca and Plevna,
and only a weak division of the 11th
corps stands between Tirnova and
Shumla. The army look on Schkok
ojaki's force a3 wrecked, and as no
longer, for this campaign, to be count
ed as a fighting integer. It is not ten
days since the 30th division crossed the
Danube in the pride of superb condi
tion ; now, what is left of it is demor
alized and shattered, so that on this
side of the Balkans, there remains but
the ninth corps, already badly han
dled, once at Nicopolis, aud once at
Plevna, ono division of tho eleventh
corps, at Rustchuk. Now, if the
Rustchuk army is marched to tho
west against Plevna, then tho Turkish
nrmy of Rustchuk is lot loose on tho
Russian communications to Tirnovi.
Ono cannot avoid the conclusion
that tho advance ovor the Balkans is
seriously compromised. Tbo Russian
strait Is so bad that scattered detach
ments havo been called up from Rou
mania, and tho Roumanian division
commanded by Gen. Wauna. has been
called up to tho lino of the Osma riv
er. An aid de camp of Grand Duko
Nicholas waspre?ontat the battle, and
at once Btarted for Tirnovi with tho
evil tidings.
Anotherlllustration to confirm more
fully that E. Rosewater is a ranting
aud willy demagoguo is Hhown in the
way he had a few of his hirelings nt
tho meetings of laboring men, held
in Omaha last week, insinuating him
self to favor as an advocate and leader of
workingmen's interests. When we re
call the printers' strike in Omaha,
about three years ago, it seems so out
rageously hypocritical that wo wonder
some of the worthy Union Pacific Rail
road shop men do not tear the decept
ive livery from this false pretender and
show him up in all his deformity. Not
ono among the publishers of newspa
pers was so insulting when we appear
ed on behalf of the Printers Union and
asked for measures of arbitration as E.
Rosewater, and none who denounced
the printers, as drunken loafers,
tramps, communists, robbers and the
vilest epithets ho could rake up in his
corrupt brain. Did he not oonspire at
that time agalnBt the workingmen's
interests ? Often have we heard him
denounce the Trades' Assembly as a
rabble, even though wo corrected him
time and again and assured him that
none but respectable meohanics and
representatives of labor organizations
were admitted as members. As long
as his pooket was touched ho de
nounced all labor organizations as com
munistic rabbles, but now, as his own
interests are not in danger ho tries to
bo a leader of workingmen's interests

A number of the papers throughout
the State have mentlonod most favor
ably, the name of Judge A. H. Conner
of this place, for the position on the
Bupreme oenon vice juage Xiake.
Nothing would please us better than
to see our fellow townsman thus hon
ored. The other two Supreme judges
being from tho eastern part of the
Stato justly entitles this section to a
representative on this bench. We
have never heard the Judge say
whether he was an aspirant for the
position or not, but if he should be,
he should receive the support of the
western delegates. Kearney Times.

A Circular to Turkish Representatives.
New York, August 4. The Turk
ish minister of foreign affairs has
sent a circular to Turkish representa
tives abroad, reciting the barbarous
acts committed by Russians, and says,
it is necessary that tho civilized world
should become acquainted with these
horrors to express its indignation and
to brand them as they deserve.
RefugeB in the mosque were burled
alive in tho enclosuro. The Russians
having met 300 carts filled with fugl-
I tive families, destroyed them with can
non shots. They then completed their
war of extermination by massacreing
all men and women they could, find in
every suburb and village occupied by
Russian troops. Dwellings ofMussul
men were given to the flames. Bul
garians, exoited by the example of the
Russians, commit against the peaceful
and resigned Mussulman population.
acts of barbarity and outrages still
more atrocious and more horrible than
those perpetrated by the invaders.

At Trego a station on the K. P. rail
way, 320 miles west of Wyandotte,
Kan., there Is an immense chalk bed
of the greatest purity and finestquality
and very accessible. George Pin kham
has erected works at that point, hav
ing a present daily capacity of 10,000
pounds of whiting, and is making a
belter chalk than the foreign article
heretofore in use. This is an industry
now to Kansas and to the United
States. &t. Joe Herald.
When Governor William3 was in
