It Is due to these men. And in behalf

The most interesting railroad
gossip now Is over a rumor that the
Railway is to be extended south from
Nemaha City on the old graded
track ; and also that the old Brown
ville, F6. K. grade will be utilized by
the B. & M. to run a road west. It
really looks' reasonable that bb the B.
& M. has, or may have very easily,
two graded lines from this city one
30 miles west, the other about 25
miles south and as the company ap
pears to be figuring to operate lines In
both these directions that it will
utilize these old grades. There is too
much money in them to be thrown
away. A gentleman who can talk
railroad with tbe B. & M. men had an
Interview with the President of the
road last spring. He didn't tell us
what was said by Mr. P., but when he
offered to bet us a plug hat that
when tbe B. & M. should run a road
west It would be over the old B. Ft.
& P track, we felt Beared and would
n't bet. For we couldn't tell but
what it might be so.

Some friend sonda us a oopy of
the Counoll Bluffs Qloheot 14th. Inst,
with the following Item marked,
which make us think the woman
named Is tbe wife of Wat. Empson :
attempted suicide.
Mrs. Empson, tbo wife of Mr. Emp
son, who keeps a saloon adjoinlug
the Revere House, conoluded that
she did not want to live through the
heated term, and at about dusk last
evening took a half ounce of chloro
form. She bad been drinking quite
freely through tho day and it is doubt
ful it tbe drug would have had a dead
lyleffeot had it been permitted to take
Its course. But to mako a sura thing
of it, Dr. Maorae was called and life
was made oertain with her. It seems,
however, that she did not care to die
as much as she at firet supposed, for
no sooner had she taken the obloro
form than she begun to oream and
beg for moroy. Mrs. EmpBon may
learn wisdom from this little episode
In her life and hereafter devote her
self to doing good deeds Instead of
bad ones.

So much to refer to last week as
connected with tbe celebration of the
4th that wo omitted to mention the

could see him. His time was perfect.
Capt. Bedford, for a week or two,

conclude to remain In his very pleas
ant, home-like residence in Brown
ville. Dr. Miller, In his admirable and
generally correct artiole on the "Gar
don County," gets off in sober hon
esty, a good joke on Billy Hoover iu
standing him up in that twenty years
ago crowd of Bourbons. Billy bim
himself says It's funny. Ex-Senator
Tipton, however, although he was
eleoted twice as a Republican U. S
Senator much less than twenty years
ago, has done so well for the Bour
bons to make up for lost time Bince be
entered their camp, that Miller's
slight mistake oan scarcely be taken
aBmuoh of a joke.'
Dr. Miller, in his address, whioh
appears in this Issue, compliments
very handsomely the First National
Bank of Brownville both as to tbe
beauty, convenience and perfectneBS
of tbe banking room and its appoint
ments, and its finanolal solidity. On
"ens evening of the fourth one of the
most attractive displays for its beauty
was tbe illumination of the front and
Interlorof the banking room by the full
lightof a dozen large globe lamps. This
Bcene was a source or admiration by
the throng on the street, and many la
dies and gentlemen wore permitted to
walk through the publio division of
the bank that they might more close
ly view its splendor. On this page
we publish the quarterly report of tbe
condition of tbe bank, to whioh we
are pleased to call attention.

The Fourth at Sucrfdan
Seldom has there been a more pleas
ant day for a eelebratlon, than last
Friday, and the good people of Sheri
dan and vicinity fully appreciated
and enjoyed It. At an early hour the
crowd began to assemble to witness
the "ragamuffins" parade, which took
place about 9 o'olook and was a grand
success of Its kind. They paraded
through tho principal etreets and to
tbe grove, whioh had been put In ex
cellent oondltion to .accommodate the
people. By lOo'clook there was from
1,200 to 1,500 people In the grove. The
Bedford Band was In attendance to
furnish music The oommittee on
singing had also provided some excel
lent musio, whioh, during tbo exer
cise, was interapersedand was highly
appreciated. At about 11 o'olook the
audience was called to order around
the stand, where comfortable seats
had been arranged. F. B. Tiffany
was elected President. After prayer
by Father Lyle, and muBio by the
ohoir, Ex-Senator Tipton, of Brown
ville, was Introduced, and spoke for
about an hour, In a very able and
forcible manner. Sheridan can cer
tainly feel that if any place bad a
larger crowd, or anything superior to
It, one thing is certain, none had a
better orator. After the oration and
musio, the crowd broke up for dinner.
They assembled again at 2 o'olook,
when several toasts were responded
to, in an able and interesting manner.
H. Presson responded to Our Flag ;
A. W. Morgan to Nebraska and Ne
maha County ; F. B. Tiffany to the
Press, and Father Lylo to Temper
ance. Alex. KearnB,-: Mr. Horace
Scheffer, Dr. Randall and others
Bpoke. Nothing ocourred to mar tbe
pleasure of the day, and all felt high
ly pleased with the celebration. In
the evening there was a ball, at Ten
ney'a Hall, and fireworks on tbe Pub
lio Square. Post.
We aro sorry that Bome of our
friends who honestly believe In and
advocate saloons, not pleased with
something we said a week or two ago
on 'temperance matters, take occasion
to make It a personal matter with the
apparent intention of injuring our
business. There have been Beveral
stories brought to us of what certain
gentlemen have said about "Wash.
Falrbrother," and this or that that he
may have said on temperance matters.
It Is true we deem theee things as
scarcely worthy of suoh a notice as
this, and will regret It very muob
if we yet shall be goaded by sneaking
assaults to "make a few remarks"
somewhat specific as to point and per
son. In the position we have made
our paper take during the temperance
revival, and Its consequential results,
we have followed a long established
rule with us to make no personal or
Individual attacks upon private citi
zens, but to deal vigorously with prin
ciple. We olalm only the right to ex
press our conviotionB, and advocate
the right-as we see it, the same as any
other person, and have no thought of
quarreling with those who may criti
cise tbe solidity of our position and
take other views of the subjects treat
ed. We would like those who differ
with us to accord us this right in
kindness ; but If otherwise, we must
take our right let the consequences be
what they may. In the temperance
reformation here wo saw men, the
very best friends of our life, turn from
constant inebriety into sober paths.
While some were bo heartless as to
sneer at the "excitement,'" we rejoic
ed. The people rejoiced at least a
majority of them and for tbe sake of
those who hod made an attempt to
utand, and for fear they might fall
with bo much temptation at every
band, they procured, lawfully procur
ed, prohibition. They Bald "we will
oloct a olty council of temperance
men and try prohibition In tbe city
for one year, at least, and by that time
tbe people will be able to see how It
works."' Now If after Booh a trial
these temperance men see a prepon
derance of evil over good In prohibi
tion, they will most certainly aban
don It. Now we repeat, that we want
our prohibition ordinance to remain
in force at least the year; and at the
time It was adopted, and the subse
quent election of city officials upon
the express understanding that the
ordinance would stand during their
term of office, we thought tbe quest
ion bad been for tho time being so
well settled that there w'ould be no at
tempt during the year to undo what
had been done; and that we would
have no oocaslon to again open our
batteries against the flimsey argu
ments of saloon advocates in that
time. But we were mistaken, for
there haB been, and recently, hope
expressed by some that tho council
would ere long repeal the prohibitory
ordinance and grant licenses. We
have no Idea that any suoh thing will
be done: but that constant work to
proselyte temperance men, and make
child's play out of last spring's work,
is going on wo know, hence we break
silence now and then in behalf of the
temperance people, and of what they
started In to do when In all earnest
ness they elected a temperance ticket
and by that extraordinary petition
procured a law closing saloons. The
Advertiser is only consistent, and
tbe man who gets mad because wo
notioe and endeavor to counteract ef
forts to re-establish saloons In Brown
ville, really before they are all closed,
is simply fooling his time away. We
feel pretty safe In our position, for we
are on tbe side of tbe reformed of
Brownville and Nemaha county, and
of their wives and children; and If
the terrible tempfatfon behind tbe
green soreens within saloon doors,
shall again be held out tolurerour fath
ers and sons from their sober manly
ways, it shall not bebeoause The Ad
vertiser, as a sentinel on duty has
not sounded the alarm. We may not
prevent the whisky power from re
establishment In our city, but we may
do our duty nevertheless by trying to
prevent it.

In the Bame hour came forth fingers
of a man's hand, and wrote upon tbe
plaster of tbe walis off the king's pal
ace. And the king saw tbe part of
the band that wrote, and his thoughts
troubled him. The king cried aloud
to bring In the astrologers, the Chal
deans and the soothsayers. The king
spake, 'whosoever shall read this
writing shall be clothed with scarlet
and have a ohaln of gold about his
nick,' but tbey could not read the
writing. Now the queen spake,
O, king! let not thy thoughts trouble
thee. There is a man In the kingdom
in whom is the spirit of the holy Gods,
made master of the magicians, astrol
ogers, Chaldeans and soothsayers, and
Is excellent In interpreting dreams
and Bhewlng hard sentences and dis
solving doubts. Let Daniel be called,
he will shew the interpretation.'
Then was Daniel brought before the
king, and said, Mot thy gifts bo to thy
self, and give thy rewards to another.
I will read the writing unto tho king,
and make known to him the interp
retation.' And they clothed Daniel
with scarlet and put a chain of gold
about bis neck, and made a proclama
tion that he should be the third, ruler

Our attention Is called to an ad
vertisement in a Chicago paper, of
two hundred and fifty improved farms
for sale in east half of Kansas, taken
by one firm of money lenders In the
East, on mortgages foreclosed. These
money lenders by their agents, are
here and everywhere, to lend money
for the accommodation of farmers
who imagine they must have more
money than tbey can legitimately
make on their farms tbe farm is
mortgaged and eventually goes to pay
off the mortgage. Loaning and bor
rowing money is legitimate business,
but there must be something veryJ
wrong in a system that seems to ne
cessitate tbe eacrifloe of a large pro
portion of tbe homes mortgaged. The
blame Is with those who place them
selves In the power of tbe money
lender. But examples of the distress
occasioned by mortgaging bomeB are
so numerous that a warning from us
seems superfluous.

Tornadoes.
The following letter from tha cele
brated Prof. Tice on the subjeot of
tornadoes will be found of Interest,
more especially In view of the lata
disastrous events at Red Cloud. Tho
letter is addressed to Mrs. A. Galpln,
of Watervllle, Kansas :
St. Louis, Mo., June 21, 1879.
Mrs. A. Galpln Madame : Yours
of the 19th Inst, received. Watervllle
Is not likely to be visited by a tornado
or oyolone. Its locality is unfavora
ble to these meteors. Cyclones, nine
times out of ten, come from tbe south
or southwest or south even. The high
hill south and southwest from your
town will proteot It. Very few torna
does are In contact with the earth for
any great distance, uenerauy mey
bound along like a ball, no sooner
touching ground than they rebound.
Hence if a tornado should come In to
wards Watervllle, from either south
west, and be in contact with tbo
earth, it would go no furtherthan tho
top of the hill. Then It would take a
leap for the Blue.
TornadoeB have a groat affection for
water, because they are very thirsty.
They drink np wells, cisterns, ponds
and rivers, and never fall to take
them In their path. In most places
tbey begin or end on ponds or rivers.
The water they lift In a column o tha
clouds and disperse It Into vtpor.
When tbo water is all gone the mud
Is Bucked up and carried along for
miles, and everything In its path is
begrlmmed with it. Sometimes the
mud is frozen in the olouds and fur
nishes the nucleus of the hail stones.
In the Missouri oyolone, laetyear, the
mud taken from HIgbsinger'a pond
was found In the hail that fell at Car
rolton, twenty-five miles from the
pond.
There Is no dongerof aoyclonecom
Ing from tbe West or Northwest at
Watervllle. It would take to the
Blue and follow its general directlos.
In a frame bouse tho safest place dur
ing a tornado is in a cellar, though
there Is danger of being bit by missi
les, if tbe bouse with the floor should
be off. In brick houses the walls
sometimes are piled upon the floor,
which gives way, and then every
thing beneath it ia crushed. This is
the case where the house Is lifted
some ten or twelve reec ana aasnea
back upon tbe foundation. In many
oases tbe brick walls fall outward, but
In most cases everything Ib swept
away.
Tornadoes are most likely to ocenr
the last day of a stormy period or a
day or so after, because they never oc
cur except when retarded by obstruc
tions is the front of tbo oenter, or
when the low 'barometer Is driven
like a wedge between two flanking
high barometers. Hence, they ar
rive late In the period Indicated In
many forecasts. It i In fact owing
to their effort to force a passage east
ward that their energy is aroused and
their violence developed.
Very Respectfully,
John H. Tich.
