L. Schick, legislator-elect, to announce
that he is a candidate for "some good

make it, and earnestly request Messrs.

that his towering ambition to "get on
some good committee" is gratified.
This cold weather, when constant
hot fires are a necessity, and stoves are
crowded with f uel, let every one use
the utmost caution to avoid being
burned out of house and home. See
that your flues and smoko escapes are
perfectly safe, and do not trust ser
vants and children to- take: care that
the fire is safe on leaving home, but
see to it yourself. A little forethought
and caution may prevent vast loss and
suffering.
The closing exhibition of the
Brownville high school last Thursday
evening was only moderately well at
tended. The reason that the opera
house was not jammed and crammed
with people, as is usual on these occa
sions, was doubtless owing to the small
admission fee charged. Free shows
draw the best in this city. "Wo rather
like Prof. Wilson's plan of charging a
fna at the door, as it brings out a re
spectable audience of only these inter
ested in school matters. The features
of this entertainment were- all very
pleasant, and were creditable to teach
ers and pupils. Prof. "Wilson, the
principal, we are pleased to say, is do
ing good work in the school. That he
is the right man in the right place is
evidenced by the fact that thescholars
.like him, and the patrons of the school
sustain and speak well of him.
- In our issue two weeks ago we
said we hoped Mr. Schick would not
permit himself to be used, as a mere
' 'tool, to serve the ends desired by Mr.
Howe's malicious enemies, uut it
appears that that hope was not well
grounded. The Lincoln Globe recently
gave the remark of a gentleman from
Nemaha, that "the but of Nemaha
politics was in Lincoln," then. That
same gentleman also said that "while
Schick's candidacy is a larce, ne is mo
best timber we have from Nemaha
through whicli to stab Howe, and
that's what we are after." Yet Mr.
Schick has the effrontery to say, in his
letter,to us, that "your insinuates of

Christinas day was pleasant, and
pas33d off very quietly in our city.
There was snow on the ground, and
the few sleighs and sleds in the city
and country were out. T ere was a
Christmas tree attach of the churches,
and the children were never better
supplied "with presents, and the people
generally had a merry Christmas. "We,
however, know of but one instance
whvre the hand of plenty was extend
ed to gladden the homes where luxu
ries -ire nire. Our big hearted county
treasurer, Mr. Gilmore, supplied sev
eral oiich with their Christm;r turkey
and chicken. "He that hatr pity upon
the poor Iendeth unto the Lord." Mr.
Gilmore never lets an opportunity
pass to make such loans, and it is
to be hope! that many others did like
wise. Those who have not in these
holidays made such a loan mr.y yet do
so it is not too late. Deep mow cov
ers the grounl. severe winter weather
prevails, and in every locality worthy

TO OTTR CUSTOMERS.
Thanking yon for your patronage in
the past, and desiring a continuanee in the
future, we are
Respectfully Yours,
STEVENSON & CSOSS.
Brownville, Neb., Dec. 22, 1880.
Ed. AdverT-Seu: Answering your
favor of Dec. 10 requesting more ex
plicitness, I will say that I referred to
the authority which you assumed to
withdraw my name in favor of Mr.
Howe as candidate for the speakership:
I refused your earnest solicitation on
that behalf as you well know. Your
statement beside being untrue was an
injustice to me as well as the friends
who have had the kindness to honor
mo by mention' ng my name in timt
connection. i our insinuations of
mnliro nr tliftir unri- nvn iiniiicttfiild
Very Bespectfullv,
T. L. Scnici:. t
answer. s
In order to m-ike th!s matter intel-i
ligiblo to our readers we will first state I
that in tho issue of The Advertiser
of tho 13th inst. appeared a Bhort article
referring to an interview we had had
with Mr. Schick regarding the use of
his name in connection with the speak
ership of the Nebraska house of repre
sentatives. Soon after the paper was
issued we received a note from Mr.
Schick whfch said that he had net
"authorized" us to make the statement
wo hid. "We at once answered his let
ter, brieily informing him that we did
not rsgard Jiis authority of much im
port.ine in preparing matter for our
paper, and to state explicitly what
portion of the remarks wo had attri
buted to him at the interview were
incor.ect. "We then waited patiently
a week for Mr. Schick to give us the
desired information, but it did not come,
nor has it yet. On the 22 1, just as wo
were joing to press, after he Jiad been
six days laboring to ni3ke up his mind
what to say in answer to our request,
he sa.uls in the above letter, which we
find in the Sheridan. Post. Had Mr.
Schick answered our inquir, even in
the evasive manner he finally did, in
time for us to publish it with such re
mark as tho subject demanded from
us. it would have appeared in our
columns last week.
Now then we will notice Mr. Schick's
letter. First we declare that our re
port of what ho said in the interview
reierra.l to was true, and that we gave
as nairly a3 wo could remember, his
very words. Secondly, we assumed no
authorltv to withdraw Mr. Schick's
nam2, for we did not withdraw it, as
the p iper is evi Jence. "Wo did not ask
h'im to withdraw in favor of Mr..Howe,
as Mr. Schick well, knows, and never
thought of such a thing, from the very
simple fact that he did not impress us
with the idea that he desired to ue a
real candidate for tho speakership.
Aftjr Mr. Schick had pro
teste 1 that he had no prior knowledge
of the announcement of his candidacy
in tue PjJ, that ho had no idea as to
who .vas the outhor of it, and declar
ing thaE lie did not desire to be, and had
no hope of being successful, we then
said "-o him, "well Schick, then let me
say in my columns that I am authoriz
ed to say that you are not a candidate,
and that will obviate tho necessity of
of Th-: Advertiser antagonizing you,
as you well know I am advocating Mr.
Howj, and of course cannot advocate
you ; and then harmony will at lciist
apparently prevail in the Nemaha del
egation." AVe further told him, what
we candidly believed, that such an an
nou cement would not only vindicate
him as a man of commendable mode3ty,
but would be for his political welfare
and a credit to his good sense and Judg
ment. Mr. Schick is much mistaken yi
his opinion as to the object of our sought
interview with him. He seems to
th;nk it was for an "earnest solicita
tion" in behalf of Mr. Howe. Nothing
of the kind. It was to earnestly sol'cit
Mr. Schick not to make a regular dam
phoilof himself. He is not in Mr.
Howe's way at all. "Well, after wejiad
made the request for authority to say
ho was not a candidate for speaker, and
advi ed him the best wd could, or 7iis
own sal:e,Q hesitated for a.brief time,
and ii s lit w-i-; aboufto g've his
consent, Major Daily or Tom Majors
who jtood behind him, in imagination,
shoyjd an imaginary pin into his rump,
and spoilt it all. An(l this is wlu.t he
said-'-Iiis very w.drds: "2?o T guess you
n "Int say anything about it. I don't
expz -t to be elected, but it may help, ma
to a good committee! ! 7" And soon as
we coulu recover irom me shock oi
this peculiar announcement to a news
paper man, and a Howe man, we left.
Mr. Schick we verily believe is the. on
ly legislator in the worl I that would
thus give himself completely away and
then force its exposure in a newspaper.
In giving the conversation that occur
ed between Mr. Schick and ourself last
week, we in mercy to him suppressed
that part of it, thinking: that perhaps
his good sense wold suggest to him to
not compel us to denounce him as a
sham and-humbug candidate for Speak
er, seeking honorable positions on com
mittees through false-nretenses. Had
we announced, ;

SANTA 0LAU3.
"We hope the abve named good old
gentleman has made the hearts of all
the children glad with the gifts which
he distributed on Christmas eve,
through the agency of grand-pas and
grand-mas, and aunts, uncles, and ev
erybody who has a kind heart and re
veres the name of the children's pat-
ron Saint.
Santa Ciaus is a familiar
name, and all tho young folks expect a
v'3 ri'm '"m 'Christmas times,
yet there are many who have no idea
who he is, except that he is a Jolly
good old gray-beard, who comes down
the chimney and filb their stockings
with candy and nuts. Now we will
tell the young readers of The Aiver-
tiskr some'.hing about Santa Ciaus,
"We are indebted to the Dutch for the
name of Santa Glaus, or Klaus, that
being the name of those people for St.
Nicolas, aad tho traditions and good
deeds of St. Nicolas are perpetuated in
the name of Santa Ciaus in this coun-
, try. Well, who was St. Nicolas
NicVjlas, fi3 some spell Wi We do
not know much about him, from the
fact lhat he lived so long ago tl.at his
history i3 incomplete. But there is
enoujh to inform us that St.
N., in
about the year A. D. 300, was bishop
of Myra, in Lycia, a country in Asia
Minor. Of his personal history hard
ly anything is certainly known, and
the great popularity of the devotion
to him rests mainly on the traditions,
both in tho West and in the East, of
tho many miracles wrought through
his intercession. He is regarded in
Catholic countries, as the especial pat
ron of the young, and particularly of
scholars. In England, his feist was
celebrated in ancient time3 with great
solemnity in the public schools. .A cu
rious practice, founded upon this char
acteristic of St. N,. still exists in Ger
many. On the vigil of his feast, which
is held on the Gth of December, a per
son in the appearance and costume of
a bishop assembles the children of a
family or a school! and d:stributcs
among them, to the good children, lit
tle presents to please them, while the
bad children are punished. A legend
of St. N. is that "he supplied three
maidens with marria.ee portions l.v se
cretly leaving money at their wfnUow,
and as his day occurred just before
Chriiimas, he thus was mide the pnr
veyor of the gifts of the season to all
children in Flanders and Holland who
put out their shoe or slocking in the
confidence that Santa Klaus, or Krecht
Clobes, as they call him, will put in a
prize for good conduct,, before morn
ing. Another legend described the
saint as having brought three murder
ed ch Idren to life again; and this ren
dered h"m the patron of boys, esrec
iallv school Lovs."

Naniy Rebecca, wife of Benson M.
Bail r. in the 30th year of her :.ge.
The community was greatly shocked
on Tuesday morning when the news
was heralded throughout the city that
this estimable and universally beloved
lady had died suddenly tho night be
fore. Up to tha hour of 1 er death,
the deceased possessed her usual good
health, so far as could be known, and
when she died it must have been in
stantaneously, but she was alone, and
to her last struggles there w;s no wit
ness, and must be foreverunknown.
Mr. Bailey that evening attended the
meeting of the Temple of Honor, and
as th meeting was a protracted one.
he did not return home until about
midnight, when he fonnd his wife ly
ing prostrate on Vie Aor at the foot of
the sta .way, dead and cold. She had
evidently started with her lamp to -go
u? stairs to her room, and the lamp
stood upright on the third step of the
stairs. Thi3 is about all that is knowii
of the last hours of the life, and the
death, of Mrs. B. M. Bailey. The de
ceise 1 was a daughter of ilr. George
Harmon and a sister to-Mrs. J. L. Mc
Gee. Tha bereaved husband, family
and friends, nave the profound sympa
thy of th. entirctniuunity.
The funeral services took place at
