Thus tho demand for sheet musio, music books and musicaljournals has become Immense. The leading publishing house in this country Is that of S. Bralnard 's Sons, of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago. This firm commenced business in 1836, In Cleveland, and from a email begin ning hoB grown to Immense propor tions, now occupying the largest building in this country devoted to music publishing.

McGee. Ladies call at Dolou's and soethc newest tliiu? In ribbons If a three mill tax was sufficient to build four bridges last year, and have one thousand dollars left, why is not a three mill tax sufficient to uuiiu one Driugo tnis year ana nave a few dollars left for repairs that may or may not be needed? This conun drum is respectfully referred to W. H. Hoover, Church Howe, and W. E. MajorB, with the request that they will furnish the figures. Granger. Had the Granger been in the habit of being candid and truthful Instead of perverse aud false, it could have given the correct figures and a correct statement regarding bridge matters, without the aid of a commit tee. And tho Granger's oonundVrum is based on a false proposition that's what's tho matter with It. , Last year the total valuation in tho county was $1,914,000. Upon this tho bridge fund was raised by a Jive mill levy, making a fund of $9,570. Four iron bridges were built last year, two of which were paid for out of the bridge levy of thut year. One was paid out of tho general fund, and one the bridge at Hallam's mill was paid by warrants drawn on tho present, 1879, levy. Tho total valuation of taxable prop erty this year is $1,823,000 nearly one hundred thousand less than the valu ation of last year. Upon this a three mill tax was levied making a fund, to meet bridge expenses this year, of $5, 4G9.00; and out of this, as stated above, the warrants in payment for Hallem's bridge must be aid, aud oth er indebtedness amounting to Boine $3,000 in the aggregate. That Is how four bridges were built last yeer. Over $3,000 out of tho general fund in addition to the bridge fund, were also U6ed laBt year for legitimate bridge purposes, such as building small bridges and culverts ; and the building of the Bennett bridge was wholly paid for out of the general fund. Now let us recapitulate on last year's bridge building: Regular bridge levy-. . - PfiOO Paid nnt or pnpral fnnrt 3(0O0 Pldontof 1S79 levy . 3.000 J15.50Q The levy for this year's bridge ex- enses amount to .f5.4W Orders drawn to pay Indebtedness nlrpirtynnirrt1 3,000 I-eaves 2,4 for the ourrent year. The matter that has caused this dis cussion is the unanimous petition of the citizens of Nemaha City and vi cinity for a bridge on the Nemaha a few miles above Bennett's bridge on or near the line dividing townships 4 and 5 ; and whioh petition was denied untiiuch time in the future that the flnanoes of the county will be such as to justify the expense.

Misses Wood le MoMurray and Ina Niece two little ladiea of Oregon Mo., friends of Miss Florence Smith who have been visiting in this city and at London thia county for several weeks paat returned to their homes on Wednesday. Will Bailey and A. Mager will start Saturday for Kanosh Utah. They go west to enter iuto tho stock busi ness, and knowing them te be hon orable young men, we commend them to tho friendship and confidence of the people wherever they may locate. Edholm & Day, Immigration Agents, and connected with the Oma ha Republican, are at the Marsh House. The busineBa of these gentle men ia to "write up" the oounty, em embracing descriptions of the towns, their business, prospeots, etc., and giving plainly and concisely, facts re garding soil, climate, crops, flnanoe, business prospects, and every Item that may enlist the attention of im migrants looking forgood locations in the West. This will be published in the weekly Republican, which has a very large circulation, and copies In any number are furnished to order. Edholm & Day oomo well recom mended, we have examined their la bor in behalf of other counties, and And it all that could be desired in the way of advertising tbeoountry, hence wo cordially indorse these gentlemen in the object for which they visit our county. Do the County Commissioners intend to ask for bids for printing the delinquent tax list, or will arrange ments be made to leave the treasurer to award the contract for printing the list at full rates, as was done last year? Wouldn't it be just as well not to try that ogaln ? Granger. " Will arrangements be made to leave the treasurergto award the con tract for printing the list at full rates, as was done last year ?" This is a se rious charge against tho Commission ersone, which if true, makes them liable toindictment'and punishment. Jn behalf of the Commissioners we denounce the statement as a willful, malicious falsehood. The whole and simple truth is, Commissioners Shook and Higgins were bo.th down elck, thirty miles apart, at the time the contract for printing the tax list should have been let, and no one knows better than the Granger that thia was the reason why the Commis sioners failed and left the responsibil ity upon the treasurer of having the list printed. Again, no arrangements were made by the treasurer to pay full rates, or any rates. We contracted to do the printing, and take our chances to get paid. Nor did we really charge full rates, while we might have done so, as we made no prior contract to charge otherwise. Whilst our bill was made out against the county at full rates, we voluntarily arranged with two of the CommiBBionera to re duce it twenty-Jive per cent. In the al lowance indorsement. And this was done. We made ouraccouut demand full rates for the reason that we un derstood there were threats made to enjoin any allowance for our work, and if we had to go to law to get our nay we" would buo for all tho law Would allow us. So, there were no "arrangements made," no contract to print at full rates, and no full rates demanded. So much for the coward ly attacks and sneaking inuendoes of our uelghbor. The question of the Granger, "Do the County CommiBBionera Intend to aBk for bids," is an insult to the gentlemen of the Board, who intend to be governed Htrictly by the law, and do not like to have their honor impeached by an irresponsible, un principled one-horBB newspaper so long in advance of any action taken. We believe the law requiring the pub lication of delinquent tax lists was re pealed last winter; bo Mr. Moore need lose no sleep about the matter of publication. We copy the following from tho Arizona Silver Belt, published at Globe City, Arizona. Tho Mr. Fur nas referred to is John Furnas, son of Ex-Gov. Furna3 of this place, who has been in the mines of Arizona for two years past. The many, friends of "Johnny" Furnas would rejoice at hie "luck" should hestrike a bonanza: "Mr. Furnas, tho owner of the Golden Reef, is now down forty feet on the vein whioh is said to be one among the finest prospects in the Dis triot." Professor Tanner, photographer, at the old gallory of Prof. Zook, Is now prepared for business. He works promptly, ia reasonable in charges, and warrants satisfaction.

XEEAHA CITY LOCALS. Two cars of hoga shipped last week. More would have-been ship ped if cars oould have been prooured. We learn that we are soon to have a Nemaha Cltv newsnaDer. to be printed in Sheridan. The people here are not at all ag itated over the direction the railroad may take. Nemaha is all right l&t it go whichever way it may. It has been said that sunflowers are a preventive of ague, if this were true, Nemaha is safe on the ague question. - Dr. Foater Is buBy, attending to tho medical wants of tho afflicted. That big Btono block talked ot some time ago is not going up this season. Those Interested in a town must manifest, substantially, some confidence in Its future, or others will not do bo. Mr. Wm. Drain last week visited St. Joseph and purchased a large in voice of goods. We guess the Balley'a will con tinue in the stock business here, as is the general wish of people, who have an interest in procuring and keeping capital, rather than driving it away. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, of Hum boldt, drove Into the olty, Sunday morning, visitingparents and friends. The capitalists, property owners and business men of Nemaha, whose chief desiro is the growth of busineas and the prosperity of our city as a commercial point, should remember that in "union there is strength" that harmonious action will go farth er in consummation of these desires, than any other one thing; and that on the other hand, selfish jealousies, Bpiteful recriminations, undermining one another, are disastrous and dead ening to the extent they are carried on. The prospeot of a grand future for our little city is most auBploious, but it is important that all pull to gether, that capital be invited and ev ery enterprise fostered. This would be a good time to out sunflowers. A heavy, weloome rain fell here Monday morning. The following orop report appears in the State Journal : Nemaha City, July 18. The con dition of our present crops of all kinds mentioned could not be any better. Wheat average far exceeda that of last year, but the grain does not stand as thick on the ground; the berry is much better. Corn is splendid, there will be about 25 per cent more of the above grains. Oats and barley are cood, but not muoh of them this year. Potatoes, large crop, 50 per cent more than last year. There being no sta tion at this point last year we cannot give a correct estimate. Mr. Arkwrlght, jeweler, left here to-day (Morula') to go Into business In Brownville. We wish him success in his business, but think he made a grand mistake in leaving here as he was doing well, and had about all the work he could do; but some people are never satisfied to let well enough alone. -Mr. Corse, of the elevator, Is having his engine overhauled, mak ing ready for the new wheat crop, as ho expects a big rush of this cereal in a few daj'B. Messrs. Blake and J. A. Titus have prooured a live chicken with its head cat off.

Wo understand that County Commissioner Poery will answer In the Granger the funny bridge conun drum propounded by that paper last week. How Impudent In JndgePeery to preaume to answer, when Mr. Moore had appointed a committee to doeo.
