Annual Mooting.
The annual meeting of the Marble
head lime company was held in Parlor
1, ol the Treipont house, the following
gentlemen being present:
M. T. Greene, of Chicago.
Frank Colpotzer, irf Omaha.
John M. Byrne, of Kansas City.
H. P. Foster, of Lincoln, Neb.
Henry F. Cady, of Nebraska City.
John Brat t, of Leavenworth, Kan.
S. II. Fullerton, of Beloit, Kan.

Samuel Guorrier.of Emporia, Kan.
Thomas Williamson, Wichita, Kan.
George Pratt, of Winneld, Kan.
George Cross, of llrmvnville, Neb.
Robert Fulleiton, of Dcs Mo n , la.
Robert Pierce, of Topeka, Kansas.
The deliberations of tho companv
were necessarily of a private nature,
but it was ascertained that the compa
ny are highly pleased with their in
vestment and lino decid"d to double
their capacity, and to continue to en
largo their facilities for turning out
lime as rapidly as is required by tho
demands of business.
Tho quarries owned by this company
aro inexhaustible, and the stone is of
the finest quality found in this country,
yielding 1U per cent, of pure lime.
The meeting lias a special signifi
cance from the fact that tho members
of tho Marblehead lime company also
constitute tho Chicago lumber compa
ny. It is probable, therefore, that tho
lumber companv will virtually liavi-
tho disposition of the entire product of
these viiluablu kilns. --Qninry U nty,

A man named August Arndt, a
Prussian by birth, is under arrest and
in jail at Omaha for threatening to
kill Judgo Dundy for deciding a case
against him. There is somo pretty
strong circumstantial evidence lending
to show that ho is tho assassin of the
late Col. Watson B. Smith, and this is
tho real cause of his being held, while
the ease is being worked up. Arndt
it seems from accounts of his p'ist ca
reer, is nail enougii to commit- any
crime in tho calender, but wo do not
believe ho murdered Smith. Wo have
heard of no sufllciont motive or provo
cation for even as bad a man as Arndt
to do the deed.

"When a man takes advantage of his
poor neighbors who cannot pay their
taxes and buys their land at lax salo,
and tlion writes to poor men whom he
has owed for years that ho Is 'penniless'
and cannot pay a dollar, it looks as
though ho was a liar, doesn't it? When
that same man claims a tax deed in the
name of somo moinbor of his family so
as to conceal his property, doesn't It
look as though ho was also ajfraud?"--Granger.
Wo learn that the latter referred to
one of the most estimable citizens of
Nemaha county, and who has done
more to advance tho Interests of Ne
braska than any other one man, the
"latchetof whoso shoes" the editor of
tho Gratititr "is unworthy to unloose."
Nemaha Times.
Tho Granger's allusion is a low, cow
ardly stab at ox-Gov, Furnas and his
daughters, unprovoked and untruthful.
It adheres to its usual stylo of hinting.
being u physical and moral coward, it
is utterly impossible for tho editor to
speak like a man and nay what he
means, as that way would leavo him no
chance to prevaricate, or hole to crawl
out of; and being of the snake family,
he can take refuge in an exceedingly
small hole. For several weeks the Ai
VKimsKit has been publishing notices
that tax deeds would be applied for
ono by Miss Celia Furnas, tho other by
Mrs. Weebor, Gov. F.urnas' daughters.
Those ladies bought tho lots named,
upon which taxes had accumulated
amounting to about tho full value Of
the lots. They bought them with their
own money "which they had earned
teaching school, and their father has no
claim upon or ownership whatever in
them. But what does all this matter
to such a character as tho editor of the
Granger, who Is at once dishonest, vin
dictive and malicious. His allusion to
the Governor was mean enough in all
conscience, but his dark hint that his
two eminently respectablo daughters
aro parlies to a fraud, certainly indi
cates a disposition too mean to be de
scribed by words. If the editor of the.
Granger had a spark of sensitive man
hood left in him, in view of his ox
coodinjjly bad reputation as a business
man, he could not be induced to ven
ture upon perpetrating homilies on
honest dealing, thus inviting criticism
of Ids own record.
