A reverend gentleman, not aUhis
city, appeared on our streets one day
last week with a card containing the
words "Dead Beat," pinned on his
back. Tt was certainly a very irrev
erent joke, yet. the wag who put that
wign out must have gone to a guessing
tschool.
Don't forget the musical conven
tion to begin in Brownville next
Tuesday. Prof. Ed. Lippett has gone
to considerable expense, and has been
very industrious in working this up.
and we hope it will be in every way a
perfect success. Prof. S. Wesley Mar
tin and other noted singers will be
present.
The Rev. Rehwoldt informs us
by postal card, received last Saturday,
that Hon. Church Howe did not offer
bim money for the Hickory Grove
Sunday School if he would support
Mr Howe'? election. We had become
satisfied that such was the case by a
note shown us l3' Mr. Howe received
by him from Rcr. Borchard of Sheri
dan. The information received from
Borchard was more embracing than
that received from Mr. Rbewoldt, for
B. informed us that Mr. Howe didn't
make such an offer to Mr. Rbewoldt
or "any other person." This sweep
ing declaration from the omnipresent
Sheridan preacher, made by one ma
jestic slash of his pen upon a one cent
postal card, removed the stain from
Mr. Howe, and knocked us out of
time as a fraud hunter. We had not
previously imagined that Mr. Borch
ard know so much, hut he as a teach
er of righteousness and truth, of
course would not run the awful risk
of falsehood by speaking at random,
or without qualification, knows that
Mr. Howe did not propose to Rev.
Rhewoldt or "any one else' to bribe
them by giviug some money to the
Sunday School. And Mr. Howe h
vindicated. Now that Rev. Borchard
is qualified to settle 60 easily scandal
ous matters regarding Mr. Howe, we
ask him if Howe did or did not give
Mr. Shellenbarger money to work for
him? Mr. S. is a German of Wash
ington, and of easy access to Mr. Bor
chard. Brother Borchard we
await patiently to hear from you in
further vindication of your protege
Mr. Howe. As regards the church
matter at Sheridan, you havo already
convinced us that Mr. Howe offered
?0 to the church if he was elected.

A young man down at St. Deroin
named Ed. Hood, recently had a dif
ficulty with a feeble, old, crippled
man living down there, by the name
of Bickell. Hood beat the old man,
knocked some of his teeth out, kick
ed him, and otherwise treated him in
a very cruel manner. What the
trouble was about we were not Inform
ed. The old man sought redress at
the hands of the law, and Deputy
SherifTG. H. Lannon sought Hood,
found bim down in Richardson coun
ty, and took him before Justice Rob
bins of St. Deroin. Hood was fined,
but being of a rather impecunious dis
position, couldn't pay, and Lunnon
brought him up to this city yesterday
to board with the county ; and now
in solitude behind the iron bars he
ponders and plans other grand and
warlike achievements for the future.

Notwithstanding the low price of
corn, farmers are compelled to sell
more or less, and our buyers are stor
ing away immense cribs of it. Tbey
do not feel entirely safe In paying even
the low prices they do for corn, at pres
ent.and think they are running a great
risk. It Is the expressed opinion of
some Chicago merchants that corn
cannot be higher next summer in
that city than 30 to 35 cente, unless
something occurs to make a demand
for grain more than is now apparent.
.There is now just a possible chance
Vor a great European war, but the
prospect is not deemed sufficiently
great to gamble largely upon.

The donation party for Elder
Young, at the Methodist parsonage,
on thanksgiving day went off very
pleasantly. Quite a large attendance
for so short a notice. About forty
dollars in money, clothing and pro
visions were presented as an express
ion of regard for the Elder and Mrs.
Young. London is quite fortunate in
having these venerable and spiritual
minded 'persons come In its midst.
May the people know how to appre
ciate them, and be benefitted by their
coming among vs.
I would tay to my spiritual
friends, the reason I decline going in
to an organization with them Is not
because I do not appreciate the good
work they are doing In trying to re
move the veil from the heavy eyes,
which veil prevents them from look
iug Into the spiritual world and be
holding the glories there, and the ef
fort you are making to help the peo
ple see the absolute necessity of a fit
ness of character to dwell among
these glories. Neither do I fear the
odium the spiritual-blind cast at the
uame spiritualist. But I have found
it is better for me to work outside of
creed or organization, for I cannotsay
amen to anyone I have yet seen. I
have found good in all; I could fel
lowship those of any faith. The
trouble is, if I cannot prouounce their
-heboeth I am a heretic. You may
censure me; I am used to that. But
a few days ago I had a severe lecture
read me for not working in the
church. My plea is, I have tried it
so often, but the pressure is so great
it suffocates me ; the limits so narrow
it wounds my wings. I presume I
am as near a spiritualist as anything
else, for I profess to be a christian,
and I do not see how anyone can be a
christian and not be a spiritualist.
But I differ with the spiritualists as a
sect t-ome of them at least concern
ing the inspiration of the bible, the
personoge, character and mission of
Jesus the Christ. Island midway
between the christian as a sect, and
the spiritualist as a sect, but these
two bodies are moving toward each
other. The spiritualist is beginning
to acknowledg the scripture as a rev
elation? "and the christian begins to
acknowledge the existence of both
good and evil spirits, and their agency
in producing both the good and evil
in the world through its medium of
men and women. The time draweth
nigh when spiritualism and Christi
anity will be one. Then I will he all
right don't you see. Mr. Editor, al
low roe this lengthy item, so that all
mj friends who have invited me to
work with them in organization, and
offer me a leadership, may not sur
mise all manner of wrong resaons.
T thank them and wish them "God
speed in every good word and deed."

Does Temperance Pay?
We have never seen this question
answeied more completely than by a
few fttjts submitted by tho Clerk of
the Ciicuit Court of Edwards county.
Illinoit. The information he conveys
is of Interest to the whole country.
He says:
"Thre lias not been a licensed sa
loon tn this county for over twenty
five yeirs. During that time our jail
has noi averaged an occupant. This
county never sent but one prisoner to
the Penitentiary, and that man was
sent up for kjlling his wife, while
drunk, on whisky obtained from a li
censed siloon in an adjoining county.
We have but very few paupers in our
poor houe, sometimes only three or
four. Our taxes are 32 per cent lower
than they are in adjoining counties
where sa.oons are licensed. Our peo
ple are prosperous, peaceable and so
ber, thers being very little drinking,
except mar Graj vllle, a licensed town
of Whita county, near our border.
The different terms of our Circuit
Court occupy three or four days each
year, anc then the dockets are clear
ed. Our people are so well satisfied
with the present state of things, that
a very large majority of them would
bitterly oppose any effort made in fa
vor of license, under any circum
stances."

Under the word3 "For the Her

William Bryaut had bi3 leg bro
ken by wrestling with a stout boy
Nov. 22d. It was several days before
the bone was set.
Last fourth of July while your
correspondent was in Sheridan listen
ing to the roaring of fire crackers and
other demonstrations of patriotism,
his house was entered by unknown
parties and all his money was taken.
Only two dollars and fifty cents near
er the poor house.
Church Howe rode into Sheridan
one day last week. Under his nose
burned a ten cent cigar and over his
face passed the sweet smile of forgive
ness. He asked for the trustees of
the M. E. Church and handed over
the fifty dollars that he promised on
condition he was elected.
Resolutions of Respect.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
The following resolutions of respect
were passed by the high school on
the death of Adelbert C. Bingham :
Adelbert C. Bingham, of the class
of 80, died at his home in this city.
Wednesday Nov. 27th, of typhoid
pneumonia, aged 17 years aud three
months.
The deceased during the past year
attended our public school. He began
the present term with his health
somewhat undermined by the prevail
ing chills aud fever.
On. tho Friday before his death he
was at school and went about his du
ties with hi usual quiet manner. He
went home in the evening, and his
friends thought he was suffering from
an ague chill, but he grew rapidly
worse and Wednesday evening
breathed his last.
His remains were taken to the
neighborhood burying ground, near
his father's farm, in the western part
of the county.
His death leaves a mourning house
hold, and a vacantdeskin the school
room. The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the high school Dec. 2d. 1879:
Wiikreas. It has pleased God in

I believe a majority of the pcoplo
of Nemaha City do not desire a liquor
saloon in their midst. Mr. Samuel
Bennett has applied for saloon licenso
aud is about to erect a little house in
...i.ii, . .. : tni.. i: t t...
I tvutuu iu lull it. i lie uuuiiao, 1 icui u,
has not yet been granted by our city
council. This is well, and if they
shall refuso positively and" finally it
will be better. If they do grant Ben
nett license, knowing the fraudulent
process that was adopted to make it
appear that his petitioners warp rea?
eniorcing it according to us epmiauu
intent.
A deed- was made by a party who
owns a small interest in a town lot or
two, to some ten or a dozan men here,
all of whom were Bennett's petition
ers ; the face of this deed making- it
appear that these men were real estate
owners. A certificate to that effect
was made by a justice of Brownville.
Soon as the certificate was placed in
Bennett's hands, the deed teas given
bach to tho man who made it. Thi
whole thing was a most glaring, pre
meditated fraud, of course.
Nov in behalf of tho people and of
I.iw and decency, I declare that such
a proceeding will not work lovely to
Mr. Bennett or any of the parties v lm
aid him, if they pret-ist in forcing h
'unless so established, the proprietor.
whoever he may be, will be horrasspd
to the utmost extent justifiable by
law. A fund wil be raised by our
many temperanee people, and ihoao
who Iove to EPe lne suproraaoy of tho
to consummation, aud Bennett get
hid license in the manner lie has
jadopted, I will ventilate this matter
further, giving the names of (ho
grantees in that extensive transfer of
real --tate. By the way. J should say
tthatl understand that the justice who
gave tho oertiftoato on that fraudu
lent deed, learning the facts in the.
case, has-withdrawn it. So that's an
other wrong righted. YfHir. etc.,
