The body of Henry Swere, of Coun

frozen in the Ice of-the Missouri river,
near the U. P. bridge on the Omaha
side. He waa-adieted-to strong drink
and it is supposed be fell off the bridge
while drunk.
The Greenbackers and Democrats
of Michigan, each, held a convention
at Bansing on the 23th ult., formed a
coalition, adopted the same platform
and nominated the same ticket. The

During the last hours of the Ne
braska legislature, a gentleman- of
the House moved for a committee to
wait on Boss Blll'Stout to inquire if
there was any more legislation he
wanted dene this session. The mo

get along someway until the next session.
Senator Bayard the other day In

even If the countryjgoes to the devil.
The new silver and gold excitement

ter eays :
The streets are filled with men
anxious to obtain employment, food,
and lodging, aud they can find neith
er. Food is plenty, but these pereons
have no means to purohase. ii Is the
duty of every newspaper in Colorado
to warn moneyless people from going
to Leadville. The interests of the State
demand it. All the land around
LaaiLville for miles has been staked
out and prospected, and a man with
out money haB no opportunity of find

oity..
cans. The reason we attribute for the
demoorats voting nearly soiid for the
measure, is that the bulk of Mexican
soldiers reside In the South; and for
this reason Mexican war veterans
may have a pretty strong hope that
the Shields'amendment will beagreed
to by the House. We think, howev
er, they need have no hope for this at
this session of Congresa, an the time
for its expiration was so near at hand
that the enemies of the bill could
enailv defeat or uestpone it. As there
are a number of old Mexican soldiers
amongst our readers, aud in this vi
cinity, it may be interesting to them
to know how Nebraska's Senators
voted on the proposition to pension
them. Senator Paddock Is recorded
against the amendment but voted for
the nassaee of the bill. Senator
Saunders voted for both the amend
ment and the bill.
Murder.
LaBt week the body of a man, dead
several weeks apparently, was found
some twelve or fifteen miles east of
Beatrice, In some tall grass a half mile
from the Brownville road. There
were marks of heavy blows on baok
of the head and front, breaking the
skull, being evidence that another
murder has been committed. There
was nothing on or about the body In
dicating hia name or where he was
from. The following description, it
is hoped will lead to bis identification,
and to a solution of the mystery now
surrounding the case: No papers
were found upon his person to estab
lish his identity, but an almanac of
1879 was found, which he had pro
cured at the drug Btore of Callaway &
Helm, Bavenna, Mo., and in a coat
pocket was a little package of salt
In which was mixed a few kernels
of corn and a few spears of hay, indi
cating that he had been traveling
with a team and had raked the Bait
out of the feed-box for future use.
Nothing else was found except a
black-handled knife containing a
large and' small blade and having one
small blade broke out. It was plain,
however, that he had carried a watoh
in his right vest pocket, for the mark
of one was there, and the edge-of the
pocket had been worn by a chain.
His clothing consisted of the follow
ing articles: A brown and white
striped drilling shirt, dark coat and
vest of one material, mouse colored
jeans pants, home-made, brown dril
ling overalls, home-made gray wool
en socks, and a long blue Infantry
overcoat. His hat was black and but
little worn, and he had on heavy
plow shoes, both of which had a
heavy long patch on the inside of the
sole ; and the shoe-strings were out
from buckBkin. This description may
lead to his identification, and we hope
our exchanges will pass it around.
Sunday after the body had been
stripped to be olotbed for burial, the
initials "H. C. V" were discovered on
the inside of the right arm near the
wrlBt, and these furnish the only clue
to his identity. Hia height is five
feet eight inches, and he was a very
muscular, broad-shouldered man. He
wore a-full beard, and both beard and
hair were a dark brown color; but
the birds and' the mioeand the weath-
had so worked upon his features
A Lincoln letter, in the Omaha
News, speaklrfg of the great men of
the Nebraska Senate, has the follow
ing slobber regarding the Senator
from Nemaha :
One significant fact in support of the
claim advanced by Howe's numerous
friends that he is virtually the lead
ing spirit of the senate is that every
one of the important measures vrliiuu
he has oidctl with bus proved to bo
successful. In the subject of railroad
legislation this has been especially
marked, and it was through his efforts
In this respect that the conservative
policy wbioh common sense dictated
was carried out. Among other meas
ures which have beeu decided to a
great extent by his co-operation or op
position may be mentioned the fol
lowing: The reduction of the delin
quent tax penalty, the refunding of
taxes on school lands, the title of
which vests in the state; the exten
sion of the insane asylum, the reduc
tion of the capitol appropriation to
$75,000, the bird law, the reduction of
rates of interest and the reduction of
the powers of agents in loaning mon
ey aud the defeat of the proposal to
cut down the provisions of the home
stead law. These are all popular
measures, and are about the only
thingB oMmportance accomplished by
the senate. In fact It is manifest that
Howe has been acknowledged the
leader of the party in that body from
the start, aud has virtually shaped its
polioy all through. No measure has
come up but what his advice has been
Bought and his influence courted, and
although he has had a hand in all the
deliberations of the session, he leaves
Lincoln with a clear record. Probably
there is not a more generally popular
man In the State ; that rare faculty of
treating all alike, of being hail fellow
well met everywhere and of having
a reputation of never failing to fulfill
a pledge, having his word as good as
his bond, have all oonspired to pro
duoe this result. It Is needless to state
that Church Howe stands a better
ohanoe of political promotion to-day
than any man in Nebraska, and we
confidently axpeot the future to veri
fy this propheoy.
Gen. Shields, who recently entered
the U. S. Senate from Missouri, a few
dayB ago addressed the Senate, in fa
vor of a bill granting pensions to the
soldiers of the Mexican war. The
Washington correspondent of the
Qlobe-Democrat makes the following
referenoe to the scene in the Senate
and the Bpeech, on that occasion :
The announcement that Gen. Jas.
Shields, the war-worn veteran of the
Mexican oampaigns, would address
the Senate in favor of pensions to the
survivors of that brilliant war, at
tracted an Immense audience. The
galleries were not only packed, but
the floor of the hall and the adjacent
corridors were inaccessible for the
crowd. As the old campaigner re
viewed the hardships of their march

SPOKE OF THE AMERICAN TROOPS
the smallest army that ever under
took the invasion and conquest of a
fortified country and said that the
army in Mexico fought, in proportion
to the duration of the conflict, more
battles, against greater odds, than
any other known In history, never
witnessing a defeat, rounds of ap
plause went up from floor and galler
ies. The veteran' svolce, enfeebled by
age and infirmity, was very diffloult
to be heard, except when rising to the
enthusiasm of some inoident of battle
beseemed possessed of all his old fire
and manhood. On the conclusion of
his speech, he was warmly congratulated.

Inter Ocean: The Cincinnati Com
mercial Is afraid of the boy who were
over 8 years old when Lee surrend
ered. These boys are now voters and
enjoy the first enthuslaflm-of'citizen-Bhip.
Against these fellows the Com
mercial files the following bill of par
ticulars : "About all they know as a
mass, or care to know about General
Grant is that, he emerged from the
war the most conspicuous and vloto-
iIoub of the military chieftains. It Is
in the heart of youth: to- love fame
and rejoice In famouB men. The
.young men area formidable accession
to the Grant movement." This is
certainty very alarming to a journal
ist of the army mule type, but the
country can stand It.
How to advertise Is thus appropri
ately answered by two or three buis
neBS firms:
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine Company sayB :
Twenty-five years' experience has
clearly demonstrated the superior ad
vantages and- economy of newspaper
advertising over all other mediums
offered for that purpose.
Messrs. Ehrioh & Co., one of New
York's leading dry goods firms, says :.
Have what the publlo want. Sell
it with a moderate profit. Advertise
largely In a first-class newspaper, and
vou are bound to do a trade. Let the
newspapers be the best you can ob
tained, no matter what it costs. It is
but natural that an advertiser must,
in a degree, share In and thereby gain
from the respeot which a reader enter
tains for an ably conduced journal.
Messrs. Isaao Smith's Sons & Co.,
the most extensive umbrella house
not only In New York, but in Ameri
ca, makes this statement:
If what you have to say be etriotly
true, say it in a good newspaper. Its
readers are intelligent, will appreciate
a bargain, aud of every suoh customer
you make an advertiser. For forty
seven years nine-tenths of our adver
tising has been done on this plan, aud
of the whole expenditure, all that we
regret Is the comparative waste of the
other tenth.
Last week at Hastings, Neb., the
grand jury found Indictments against
eleven of the mob that put to death,
by lynch law, Mitchell and Ketchum.
Those of them who are in the hands
of the law, are, Ira P. Olive, Brown,
Pedro DorainicuB, Baldwin, Barney
Gillan, Phil Dufrend, Gertel, Green.
The others have not yet been caught.
The Indictments were for the murder
of Luther Mitchell. If any are sen
tenced to suffer the extreme penalty
of the law, of couree it will be unnec
essary to try them for the murder of
"Ketchum.
The indictment has. six counts,
stated as follows:
First. Shooting with a Winchester
rifle In the right side.
Second. Shooting with a Winchest
er rifle in the left side.
Third. Strangling by means of a
rope.
Fourth. Breaking the neck by
means of a rope.
Fifth. Burning with fire.
Sixth. Producing death by means
of instruments to the jury unknown.
The last count Is Intended to cover
any possible theory as to Mitchell's
death whiobjmay be produced.
The following Is the array of legal
gentlemen, engaged In the cases:
For the prosecution there are District-Attorney
Scofleld, Attorney
General Dilworth, Judge J. M. Thurs
ton, of Omaha; Hon. E. E. Brown,
of Lincoln, and Capt. O. M. MoNa
mar, of Plum Creek. For the defense
are Hon. John Carrlgan, of Blair;
Gen. A. H. Connor, of Kearney ; F.
G. Haer, of Kearney ; Beach I. Hln
man, of North Platte; Wra. Neville,
of North Platte; T. L. Warrington,
of Plum Creek, and James Laird, of
Juniata. Gen. J. C. Cowin, of Omaha,
specially defends Philip Dufrend.

On the 2Sth ult. Senator 8bields, of
Missouri moved "That the law grant
ing pensions to soldiers of the war of
1812, approved March 9, 1878, Is here
by made applicable to the soldiers and
Bailors in the war with Mexico in
1816.' This was offered as an amend-
nf i ilia uanfdon bill being consid
ered by the Senate. The motion pre
vailed by a vote of 3G to 21. The bill
was then put upon its passage ana
passed with Shields' amendment, by
a vote of 38 to 20. The bill passed by
an unusually large- majority, yet we
believe it was passed more through
courtesy to the old veteran Shields,
and to get the matter out o! the way
than through any love -for the- meas
