Cigars! Cigars! Cigars!
By Stevenson &, Cross.
Ex-Governor Furnas has return
ed from Lincoln, and is smiling aud
pleasant as you please. This genial
mood is accounted for by the great
achevements of the State Fair.
Through his efforts as President of
the State Horticultural Society the
great, unprecedented, showingof fruit
was accomplished. And he naturally
feels proud of his own rich county
standing first on the list of fruit ex
hibitor?. There is nothing In the
world makes the Gov. feel better than
a successful fair, and his pride is most
commendable.
A fact we want to keep be
fore the public: You can
get more goods for $1.00 at
Mcpherson's than any oth
er house in Brownville.
We understand there were some
"doubting Thomas'" at the State
Fair, who do not believe the fruit ex
hibited there was grown in the state.
So far as Nemaha is concerned we
have this proposition to make : That
if such an one as we refer to will take
pains to come into this county and
spend a day or two looking through
our orchards, we will satisfy him that
"not the half had been told" him at
Lincoln. The exhibitors from all
counties, we presume, can do the
same.
The doubting poinf in the matter of
fruit growing in Nebraska has long
since Leen passed by sensible men,
who take pains to inform themselves.
Of this we shall take occasion to say
more hereafter.

On the 23th ult.,Mr.WadeCouts,
residing on the bottom between

covered, on a sand bar in the river,
about three miles below Brownville,
the body, or skeleton, of a child. The
Coroner being absent, Sheriff Plasters
was notified and held an inquest on
the remains of the little one, on the
29th, but could gather no information
concerning them. There were a few
rags aud shreds of clothing attached
to the bones indicating that they were
those of a little boy who had been
dressed in waist and knee breeches of
domestic cassimere cloth, black or
gray, with small brown stripes cross
ing, making a somewhat dim check.
These appeared to have been lined
with black and red striped flannel. A
atrip around the neck, probably the
neck band of his shirt, had a com
mon blue glass button, with two holes
for thread, attached. On the waist of
the pants were found a small brass
hollow button, mounted with a disk
and a four leaved flower or star.
There were also found near the skel
eton some large black horn or rubber
buttons, such as worn on overcoats.
A few hairs Yound, indicated that the
child's hair had been of light color.
It is presumed that the child was
drowned in the river, and floating
down duriughigh water, was lodged
upon the bar as the water receded.

On last Saturday a young man
giving his age as 17 years, and hid
name as T. J. McCalpin, rode a horse
Into town and was very anxious to
sell him. He was so anxious in faot,
and offered him so cheap, that no
body would buy, and thus raised the
suspicion that McCalpiu's title to the
horse was not es good as it might be.
Marshal Lannan becoming so thor
oughly convinced, bv suspicious ac
tions of the youug man, that the horse
had been stolen, he arrested him.
When sternly accused of stealing the
horse, and before there was an3 clue
but suspicious circumstances, he con
fessed that he had stolen the horse
the night before from Eugene Wil
helm, residing near Nebraska Citj-,
for whom he had been working. He
seemed to'-make a clean breast of it,
aud said, he being acquainted with
Wilhelm's borees, stable and general
suroundings, went out that night with
the deliberate purpose of stealing a
horse and concealed himself in the
stable uutil he could feel safe in leav
ing witli the horse. Our officers af
ter hearing the boy's story telegraph
ed to Wilhelm aud he came down on
Monday and got his horse. McCal
pin is now confined in our county
jail.

to find the prevailing disposition to
be for harmony and. the nomination

al animosities and prejudices, making
generous concessions, as every suc
cessful party must, and endeavor to
select the most available good men,
they will elect their entire ticket.
There are differences of opinion as to
the popularity of candidates, as their
always are, but let these questions be
canvassed thoroughly in candid efforts

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
1 am an unfortunate fellow in some
things. Several years ago I advised a
certain man to do what he aftewards
had to do, and the then -editor of The
Advertiser went for me heavy. A
few years afterwards some fellow
wrote a scurrilous article about "Old
Settlers;" I answered it, and Caffrey
gave me g033 through his paper, and
the Governor of Nebraska pitched in
to me in an extremely long private
letter, so that I had two big guns fir
ing at me. Still later. Doc. Holladay
got after me, and for nine or ten weeks
he just bombarded me. I wrote a let
ter to the Bee, and some Peruvian got
his back up, and just deluged me; and
afterwards "Sam Gunnison" scorched
me yes, gave me three or fourscorch
ings. I went to the Harvest Festiwil at
Harmon's grove, and being called on
to address the multitude, did so;
praised Nebraska's soil, climate and
health fulness ; stated, among other
things, that malarial diseases, the
curse of fertile soils, was almost un
known in Nebraska ; compared the
present mode of farming with the
past ; and said that I did nut want the
old times back again.
Well, there is a certain Mr. C ,
who lives in a hollow almost sur
rounded with thiokets of youug tim
ber, is as mad as a wet ben, and goes
around saving that that d d old Po-
lock says there is no ague in Nebras
ka, and I have a sha-a-a-ke every day.
Your correspondent "Fair View"
gives me fits because I don't want the
old times back again. In Illinois from
1S40 to 1S45, lows sold from six to
eight dollars. Strawn, the cattle king,
had a standing offer of ten dollars for
good four year old steers, delivered at
his farm. Wheat sold from 2550c
per bushel ; corn from 1015o per
bushel, shelled ; pork from $1.503.00
per 100 pounds, net; wagons from
$100125 each, and all other farming
implements much higher than they
are now. No, Fair View, I don't,
want the old times back again.
Fair View must have a perfeot hor
ror of farm machinery, for he writes:
"Any machine shop, in any town,
selling on credit, is a greater curse to

Any person reading Fair View's ar
ticle would suppose that I advised the
farmers to raise grain and sell that
alone, whereas I gave them no adviee
on any subject. If I ever do advise
them, it will be to raise all the stoek
they can, and not to run in debt for
anything.
If Fvir View Is a fair man, and
practices as he preaches, he plows his
land with a bull-tongue plow, with
wooden mold board ; harrows it with
a wooden-toothed harrow, or a brush ;
cuts his grain with sickles, and
threshes it with flails or tramps it out
with horses. His corn ground is
marked out one furrow at a time, a
couple of boys or girls drop the corn,
and three or four men or boys cover it
with hoes. In this way six or seven
persons will plant seven or eight acres
each da j'.
Mr. Editor, you should get Fair
View's permission to let your readers
know who he is, and where he livea.
so that we can all visit his farm, and
see his old fashioned plows, and har
rows, and sickles, and flails, and all
the other farming tools of forty or fif
ty years ago. It will be as interesting
as a circus to the young folks, to see
eight or ten men cutting wheat with
sickles, or mowing the grass with
scythes. It makes me shudder yet,
when I recollect that in haying time,
which lasted a mouth, I bad to turn
the grindstone two or three hours
each day for men to grind their
scythes. No, Pair View, I don't want
the old times back again.
Fair View is not fair in one thing.
He attacks me by name, but conceals
his own name. This is a guerrilla
mode of warfare that no fair man will
adopt.
The same copy of The Advertiser
that had Pair View's growling letter
tells us that the shipments of farm
produoe from Brownville for one
growls at me because I told the people
that we all should be thankful to God
month amouu ted to $42,500 Fair View
tor tue many biessmg3 tnat we as a
people had received. Well, be may
growl, but I will return thanks aud
feel grateful.
I wonder bow long it will be before
some other big gun will shoot at me.
Respeotfully,
W. A. Polock.

One of our most patriotic and loy-1 like the "God" the Christians pre
al citizens is Wesley Dundas who isjsentefl. He loved the Christ, ancj
postmaster in the centerofthecounty.j called him brother. But the worlo!
When he was requested to be a dele
gate to a political convention (post
ofilce is worth $30 a year) declined i
True to bis government and people,
he peremtorily declined. Wesley
wasn't going to put the President to
the trouble of calling seven or eight
cabinet meetings to consider a griev
ous violation of civil service regula
tions, aud to consider who would be a
safe man as Wesley's successor at that
imporlaut post, and which might ul
timately involve the expense of send
ing a commission to take in the situ
ation. No Wesley wasn't thai kind
of a cat. He, with commendable
presence of mind, just said to the
scheming politician, "No sir run
your own conventions." And now
President Hayes and his P. M. Gen
eral, who are at home trying to get a
little sleep after their arduous labors
of love with the Southern brethren,
will not have to lay awake o nights
trying to solve the Sheridan post of
fice problem.

October 1. Let it frost; who cares?
The past month of unexception
able weather has been mosfzealously
Improved by those who love work, as
the huge hay stack, and broad acres
of grain testify. Next march will
probttbly have some' bearing oh the
case; but the stock, at least, will sure
ly feel "better than ordinarily, for the
hay crop has never been excelled
in quality nor quantity. The fall
grain looks well.
It is over. But the Independenl-Democratic-Liberals
(?) dont seem to
enthuse very wildly over the work of
their convention. Perhaps they will
as soon as they recover from the naus
eous effects' of the mixture. The
"Dr." put it pretty strong, and a re
action might be expected. But what
seems strange is, that some men who
boast their manly dignity and inde
pendence men of avowed Republi
can principles, and who were among
the first and worst of Howe's calum
niators should so readily accept the
nominations offered by his conven
tion. The thing seeine to be either an
inconsistency or a happy understand
ing. Which Is it?

The "obalieage" of Mr. Inger-

tranquil and serene, yielding grace
fully to the stern demands of nature

here, would ever take care of (hem,

i3 an authentic record to the contrary

about it. It does not benefit Christi
