to see two or three young Good Tem
plars drunk so soon after leaving the
lodge. A young man, just forming
appetites, habits and character, who
has no better control over himself
than this is almost sure to become a
drunken sot, a wreck, a ruin, a source
of Borrow to friends and parents. It
madeuur heart ache with pity and re
grotand our cheek burn with shame
to see friends, with whom we had
met in the lodge room less than a
week ago, making themselves con
spicuous on the streets by the brawl

Editor Nebraska Advertiser :
In accordance with previous ar
arrangemects, a goodly number of
the farmers of the neighborhood as
sembled to tke into consideration our
present situation with reference to
the security of our property, especial
ly horses, in view of the various thefts
being committed throughout the
country, aud the prevalence of
tramps.
On motion of E. M. McComas W.
F. Paris was chosen chairman, and
the undersigned selected a.s secretary.
After the object of the meeting had
been stated by the chairman, and
prettj generally discussed, by those
present : on motion it was resolved to
proceed to organize for the purpose of
better securing protection to our prop
erty and keeping in cheek the tramps
prowling around.
On motion a committee consisting
of E. M. McComas, W. H. Lorance
aud F. E Johnson was selected to
draft Conatitution aud By-Laws for
the organization.
Proceeded to elect officers, when
the following were chosen.

John Strain, Vice President.
E. M. McComas, Seoretary.
W. H. McTniuch, Treas.

From the remarks of various per
sons who gave expression to their
views at the meeting, it was evident
that they ezpected to assist in main
ing law and order throughout the
neighborhood and secure the punish
ment of those who seek to disturb the
security of property, or molest the
peace of the community by intruding
on thlr rights.
On motion the raeetiDg adjourned

Everybody had their smoked
glass ready last Monday afternoon
and curiously viewed the eclipse of
the sun. It was nearly total, but not
quite, here, and was a mellow strange
looking twilight. The sky was clear
and all looked to their entire satisfac
tion. We see accounts of very satis
factory observations being made by
scientists at diflerent poiuts. An ac
count from Deuver, where it was to
tal, says:
"As the period of totality came ou
the sight from an elevated station 'was
grand. An extreme dark shadow fell
on Long's peak, seventy-five miles
distant, and sweeping rapidly south
eastward covered the plain like a gray
pall. To the northeastward clouds
could be seen bathing in sunlight,
and presenting a view of a beautiful
sunset. During the period of obser
vation the moon appeared like a hugo
black ball surrounded by a beautiful
circle of light, and us the sunlight
suddenly burst forth again, chickens
crowed as though morning had dawn

The farmers should save everj

doubtless bring a very fair price.

The
Achievements of Stanley, pv.d
Otlior African Explorer?.
Being a complete IlUUoiy of Stanley's
Explorations in Africa; together
with a concise account of the late ex
plorations by Baker, Cameron and
others. By Hon. J. T. Ilcadly.
No recent event ha3 excited a deep
er and more wide-spread interest in
the country, than the brilliant
achievements of Henry M. Stanley,
in the field of African Exploration.
Ever since hie arrival, In a famished
condition, at the mouth of the Congo,
the public have eagerly awaited a de
tailed account of hi6 thrilling expe
riences, and the result3 of his diecov- j
ery. The announcement therefore of '
this volume, from the pen of so brill
iant and popular author as Mr. J. T.
Headley, will be received with lively
interest and satTfaction, and thh in
terest will bo greatly heightened by
an examination of the book itself.
Since the death of Livingstone, the
work of exploration in the regions
which he last visited, has,been push
ed witli great vigor. Sir Samuel W.
Baker with a small army under royal
authority, cscended the Kile, and was
the fir3t European to penetrate from
north to soutli the great Central Lake
region. Lieut. Camerau, of the Sng
glish Royal Navy, reached the same
region from the east, and then push
ed across the Continent over land, to
the western const, and last aud great
est of all, the daring and iutrepid
Stanley, breaking through the bar-!
riers which had proved to insuperable j
to all former explorers, in the face of
a thousand perils by sav?.ge3, cata-,
racts, diseases, wild beasts and star
vation, forced his way down the dark
river, 2500 miles and delved the great
mystery proving the Laateba rive

tho heud waters of the mighty Con
go, thus openiug a grand highway
from the west coast to the heart and
treasures of oue of tu most, popu
lous and productive ooutiuonts of tho
globe.
The author first gives a conoiee ac
count of Eakor and Cameron's expe
ditions because knawladiia of what
they accomplished is essential to a
clear apprehension of the momentous
importance of Stanley's work. He
has thereby aided greatly to the in
terest aud value of the book, for these
expeditions, iu romantic interest,,
thrilling adventure and scientific im
portance, are second only to that of
tho more daring and successful Amer
ican. He then gives a complete and de
tailed history of Stanley's incompara
ble feat, which has produced such an
immense sensation, both in this
country and Europe, and a moro in
tensely interesting and exciting nar
rative we have never read. We can
no more than hint at the details of
of this narrative. To follow the
brave Stanley iu his marvelous voy
age down the unknown river fighting
thirty-two battles with man-outing
savagos, and passing fifty-seven cata
racts and rapids, to read of tho deser
tion of a large number of big party
panic-stricken at the terrors of tho
forest; of the threatened starvation
in the middle of the great river whoso
bunks were filled with hostile savages;
of daily horrors aud griafd at the loss
of comrades in the passage of falls
and rapids; of enormous labor iu
hewing miles of road through dense
forest and junglo to muko a paesnge
around impassable cataracts; of tho
vast Vv'ouder-!aad bordering this
mighty river, rieh in ivory, minerals
and fruits, where "Eocry protpeel
jAeases and only man r vile;u to learn
of the incidents and adventures of
this marvellous journey, and of the
grand ovations which have met tho
indomitable American at every ppint
of his homeward-bound journey, one
must follow the thriiliug pages of this
book.
Thu publishers deserve grout praise
for themiperb manner in whieh they
have brought out the work. Tho
beauty of its typography anduding
and the number and exeeltanee of en
gravings, are in keeping with its val
ue and character." Undoubtedly it
will be more extensively read than
any other book of the year.
