A Washington telegram eayB Conk
ling favors Grant for President. It iB
more than probable however that if
he does or not no reporter knows.
Conkling is not one who goes about
blabbing about his presidential pref
rences. The result of an Interview with
Senator Paddock is going the rounds
of theprese. He thinks the Republi
cans will elect their man in '80 and
that Grant is now the favorite. We
guess the Senator is ooErect. The Re
publicans can win, if they can have
something near a fair election, with
either Grant, Conkling or Blaine.
Hon. O. P. Ma3on. in a note regard
ing the recent Iynohings at Nebraska
City, takes an eminently sensible
view of the application of mob law.
He says : "I am sorry the mob spirit
triumphed in the end. It was just,
so far as Jackson and Martin are
concerned. The effect 'on society is
not good. It unbridles the bad ele
ments ipociety."
The sorriest 3enator was Lamar the

suddenly prostrate and shamed before

audiences ever assembled. And Mr.
Thurman fared but little better ut the

Business this fall has been much
better than was expected with the
ruling low prices of grain and stock.
The farmers of Nemaha County are
generally well fixed, financially.
Much or their produce is fed to stock
and marketed on foot. They are not
encumbered by heavy debts contract
ed years ago, when everything was
Inflated, and now, when they sell the
products of their farms, they find that
.the amount of groceries, dry goods,
and general merchandise which they
Can purchase at the present low pri
ces is.equal to the amount they could
have "bought when wheat was one
dnllar'snd a half per bushel. In oth
er w.qrdo oue hundred bushels of
wheat will buy about the same
amount-' of the necessities of life as it
would five or ten years ago. It ie
only those who arc badly in debt that
feel the severe reduction In values.
This week's issue of the Adverti
ser will contain the County Treas
urer's annual report from Sept. 30, '77,
to Sept. 30, '78. Mr. Gilmore has
made a very concise and well arrang
ed statement.
Taking everything Into considera
tion, Nemaha County is in a good fi
nancial condition. Taxes are not
heavy ,aud assessments are very light.
We notice that the tax lists for 1878
were almost complete and oontaiu
only five columns of figures. Mr.
Docker the Deputy. County Clerk,
h&8 s, very neat and correot list that
refleots much credit on himself and
on the office.
Mr. Majors, the County Clerk, is
kept busy with the regular office
work, and the many necessary calls
upon his time. He knows how to bo
agreeable and accommodating, a very
necessary qualification for a public
office.
At the office of the Clerk of the
Distaiot Court we always expect to
find W. H.- Hoover, he has always
been the Clerk and we expect he al
ways will be. Mr. Hoover torn us
that there csa not a single paper mis
sing that had ever been filed in the
District Court of this County.

STATE XEWS AXB NOTES.
Mrs. Van Pelt, Grand Worthy
Chief Templar of the State, recently
organized a lodge at Bloomington,
with 104 charter members.
A riot last week occurred at Red
Cloud among railroad hands. A sa
loon bar tender named Smith was
beaten with clubs until he will prob
ably die, and a railroad boss named
Fitzgerald, relative of John Fitzger
ald, the contractor, was fearfully used
up. The men quit work and went to
drinking because their wages were re
duced. Nebraska City ia goiqg tQ have
tWQuiabt watchmen.
And now coines the said M. J.
F,enu-and tells a newspaper man that
he has not received appointment as
storekeeper at thedi.stillery at Nebras
ka City or elsewhere.
The "Old Settlers" of Otoe ooun
ty tho&e who came prior to 1857 are
to have a jolly old time at Nebraska
City January 2d.
Royal Buck, formerly of Nebras
ka City, is County Judge, elect, of
Red Willow county.
The Omaha News, after the first
of January proposes to publish all the
names of city officials who get drunk
rich or poor, high or low. Exchange.
What good will that do ? The edi
tor would succeed in making three
fourths of Omaha his enemies and do
the temperance cause an injury instead
of a benefit.
Burke, the gambler, who killed
Weihl. the Texas oattle man. last
summer, in Omaha, has been tried
and found guilty of murder in the
second degree. Judge Savage sen
tenced him to twelve years in the pen
itentiary. We judged from the re
ports of the killing, at the time, in
the Omaha papers, that Burke had
committed a cowardly, premeditated
murder.
Hon. H. S. Kaley, Red Cloud,
has some fish ponds constructed, and
will soon go East for salmon spawn
with which to stock them.
A young man named Joel G.
Kenevil was killed at Hastings last
week by falling under a train of cars.
Mitchell, one of the men burned
to death by the mod in Custer county
was 63 years old.
Kearney Press: It seems that
the murderers of Luther Holbrook
and party are finally at this late date
in a fair way of getting justice.. Two
of them have been arrested in Kan
sas for horse-stealing, and the where
abouts of Hargrave is known to the
officers of the law, who are on his
track. The reward offered for his ar
rest and. conviction is about $S00.
It looks now, from w.hat we can
glean that Maior Pearman'a suit
against CollectorRobb will bo a fizzle
too thin and will not wash worth a
cent.
A farmer of York county, nam
ed Robert Martin, went to the city of
Yoik, one day last week, with a load
of grain. In the evening the team
stopped at home with no driver. Up
on looking into the wagon Martin was
discovered lying on his face in the
wagon, dead; his skull crushed in.
A strange man was seen iu the wagon
with him as he was returniug from
York, and it Is euppojed he was mur
dered by the stranger for the money
he got for his load of wheat.
At Fairmont, they are going to
have a rabbit and wolf drive on New-years-day.
The Nebraska City Press argues
against a prohibitory law, after this
fashion : A prohibitory law would
have a tendency to make people
drink. If you want to make every
body drink whisky just tell 'em they
shan't drink a drop. If the Lord
hadn't told Adam and Eve not to eat
apples off that particular tree they
wouldn'thavedoneit; they wouldn't
thought about it; but having had
their curiosity excited, they conclud
ed to take their chances just for the
ourlosity of the thing, etc. Suoh log
ic gets dear away with us.
Nebraska is just now notorious
for dastardly deeds done within her
borders.
Two men named Mitchell and
Ketchum, on the Loupe not far from
Plum Creek, while in the hands of a
Sheriff, were taken by a party of out
laws called "oow boys," and burned
"at the stake." Mitchell and Ketch
um were under arrest for killing a
Texas desperado named Stevens alias
Olive, while defendiug their lives and
ranch against him and other desper
ate characters led by him. The Kear
ney Press says.'truly we believe, that
there Is an irrepressible conflict going
on between cattle men and Bottlers
who are trying to make farms ; that
the farmer thinks the country belongs
to them, and seem determined that it
shall not be settled up, and the cattle
range constantly deminished.
Jackson and Martin, hanged at
Nebraska City by a mob, may have
been guilty and deserved the death
penalty, but the jury, sworn, who
herd and weighed the whole matter
coolly, and oonsoientiounly, 6aid not ;
and the furious mob with reason con
trolled by a.low order of passion, can
not be indorsed as a good thing by us.
- "Gineral" Roberts is playing a
sharp game on General Dilworth
whereby he expects to steal all Dil

Well, if it Is right to commence,
and the "Gineral" commences right,
isn't It all right? Heshould have the

Kearney Press: S. D. Richards
who killed Peter Anderson near
Keene. Kearney oounty, an account
of which was published in the Daily
Press of the 10th inst. Is now discov
ered to be a wholesale murderer of the
worst stamp. Mrs. Harison and her
three children who lived ona claim
about twenty-five miles south of here
near what Is familiarly known as Wal
ker's Ranch, was missed from her
house some time aga-but as her hus
band was a refugee from justice, hav
ing broken jail some titno last sum
mer, it was supposed that she had
gone to join him who is said to be iu
Texas. Tim Richards bad moved in-
wasmmmmmmammmmmammKaammmemmam
to her house and taken possession of
her eflects.'olaiming to have bought
them, and when it was found out that
he had murdered Anderson, the neigh
bors began to suspect thatall was not
right and a search was instigated
which resulted in finding the dead
bodies of Mrs. Harison and her three
ohildren under the haystaok. A re
ward of $200 is offered for the arrest
of Richards, dead or alive.
There has been thirteen or four
teen murders committed iu Nebrafka
within the past ten days. Kearney
Prees.
In this count the Press, of course,
includes Slocum, Jackson and Mar
tin, murdered at Nebraska City last
week.
The Omaha Republican justifies
mob murders as follows:
That was summary justloe which
the people of Nebraska City (to their
honor be it said) executed yesterday
morning. And it wab justice which
has the right sound.
NEMAHA COUNTY.
Its Religious, Moral and Material
Progress.
If your readers will look at the map
of Nebraska, they will see near the
south-east corner, a small county
named Nemaha, which is derisively
styled by political writers, "The State
of Nemaha," on account of the large
number of the prominent men of Ne
braska who are, or have been, resi
dents of this county.
I do not intend to write of the "em
inent Nebraskaus" of Nemaha Coun
ty, but will write of the county, relig
iously, morally and materially.
This County has about 9,500 souls,
who have built and maintained at
least twenty-three churches, as fol
lows: Glen Rock preoinct, three;
Peru, three; Brownville, five; Lon
don, five; Nemaha City, one: Aspin
wall, two; Benton, two; Douglas,
two; total twenty-three; or one
church for each 410 inhabitants. In
addition to these churches, public
worship is held in nearly all the
school-house.
There is an organization at Peru of
the Temple of Honor, and there are
twelve lodges of Good Templars in
the county, and I understand that
Nemaha kis the banner temperance
County of the State.
The area of this county is about 400
square miles, which is divided into 75
school districts, or one district for each
51 square miles, and each 126 inhabi
tants. There is a good school house
in each district, aud several of these
country school houses are large, com
modious, and costly. If there is an
other county In Nebraska that cau
surpass Nemaha In any of the above
named things, I hope some resident of
that couuty will write it up.
The material wealth of Nemaha
County consists of a fertile soil, num
erous streams of pure water, immense
deposits of valuable lime and sand
stone, and thousands of acres of valu
able timber.
The soil of Nemaha is equal to the
eoil of uny oounlyLa-Jhi or uv
erSt.Ue, and produces immense crop.,
of grass, grain, and fruit. This Coun
ty though north of the 4G'h degree of
latitude, produces peaches every year.
It was peaches from this county that
took the premium at Riohniond, Vir
ginia, several years ago, and Nemaha
fruits have figured largely in all ex
hibitions of fruits In Nebraska.
This couuty is perhaps better wat
ered than any other couuty in Nebras
ka. In the northeast part are Duck
and Honey Creeks which empty into
the Missouri River. In thesouthwest
part, Long Branch, and the Big and
Little Muddy's, which flow into
Richardson Couuty and empty into
the Great Nemaha.
The Little Nemaha, which drains
the most of Otoe, and parts of Cass,
Lancaster and Johnson Counties, en
ters Nemaha near the northwest cor
ner, and after receiving numerous
tributaries, empties into the Miseouri
River, near the southeast corner of
the oounty.
This stream has extensive water
power, which is utilized by five flour
ing mills, each having three run of
burr-stones. There is fall for four or
five more mills on this stream. In the
dryest time this autumn I visited four
of these mills, and found that more
than half the water was going to waste.
There is a good deal of power going
to waste on several of the small
streams of this County.
In various parts of the County are
quarries of sandstone and limestone,
and in the central part of the County
are large deposits of valuable lime
stone. A railroad east from Tecumseh
would run through this limestone re
gion, or a branch road from Syracuse
or Palmyra, down the Nemaha, would
strike this same'region. This stone is
durable, is easily worked, and takes
a good polish ; and, aroad running to
anv of these quarries from Linooln,
would enable the Lincoln people to
get good stone at cheap rates.
The timber of Nemaha County con
sists of oak, hickory, walnut, and oth
er kinds of wood. The first growtli
has been nearly all cut, but the second
growth is growing very rapidly.
Can any other county in Nebraska
surpass Nemaha in soil, water power,
stone and timber?
Now lot me write a few words about
the acquired wealth of this County.
There are over one hundred thousand
fruit trees, hundreds of thousauds of
bushels of corn, tens of thousands of
bushels of wheat, tens of thousands of
cattle aud hogs, and thousauds of hor
ses and mules, with all the other ar
ticles which go to make the wealth of
a farming community. The oounty
has good roads and bridges. Ten of
the bridges are of iron ; and the coun
ty clerk tells me that, with one more
bridge, the streams of Nemaha couu
ty. woujd all be well bridged, and the
bridges-would last mauy years.
Thisis a good county reliciouslv. !
educationally, morally and material
ly ; and yet the. jeniahas, . though
largely Republican politically, will
persist in electing Church Howe to
tho State Senate, and thereby mortify
the souls of the Republican leaders of
the county, and cause tbem to ex
claim, with well, never mind who it
was; the arc mortified.

thorns become Boftened, is eaten vara
ciously by them, and they will go
four or five days without water when
