Late advices report that the cholera
has broken out in Gambia, on the West
coast of Africa. The first decided case
occurred on the 5th of 3Iay, and from
that date the disease rapidly spread
from 7 deaths on the 5th to 17 on the
9th, 20 on the 14th and 22 on the 15th,
out of a population of 4,000. The total
number of deaths up to the 17th of May
were 190; of these, none were Europeans.
The disease seems to be of the most vio-

SPREAD OIT.
The "narrow ravine," as the Press
designates it, is already too small for our
city, and it has already become a neces
sity to "move out on the surrounding
hills." Our people should not be back
ward in this matter, either. In less
than three ycira fmm A-ats th( Tievt rnr-
tion of the city will undoubtedly be where
there are no improvements at present
The exact spot depends upon who has
sufficient enterprise to make a break.
Now is the time to commence.
THERE IN DAXUEK 131 THE WEST,"
says the Omaha Herald. Danger in
what? "Of the railroad to the interior
question." Yes, there is danger dan
ger that some other point than Omaha
will become a city of importance. It is
not danger to the country through which
the road passes; if it is, the country is
wiling to brave the danger. There is
danger that Plattsmouth will soon be
come a point of no mean importance, and
there is great danger that the B. & 31.
It. R. will soon become a rival of the
Union Pacific for the trade of a continent.
Yet we think the Herald is unnecessa
rily exercised about it 1 1 is not in the na
ture of things that Omaha should mo
nopolize the R. R. question, and Platts
mouth had as well be the successful joint
as any other.
OMAHA 4e CIIILICOTIIE.
The St Louis papers are now begin
ning to agitate the building of the Omaha
& Chilieothe R. R., and there is a fair
probility that it inay soon be under way.
Our people have a deep interest in this
line of road, as it is a well known fact
that the company intend crossing the
3Iissouri river at this city. Now that
the building of the B. & 31. R. R.
is a settled thing, let us again look after
other Rail Road interests. If there is a
prospect of the early completion of the
O. & C. R. R., let us look after it.
WA5TTED-A IIOTEE.
When a city takes a stride ahead, and
shows a determination to enter the lists
and compete for trade and commercial
importance, the first thing generally done
is to look after her hotels, and ?ee if they
are of a character to give satisfaction to
the traveling public; for every man knows
who has seen anything of the world, that
hotels have much to do with pleasing or
disgusting one with the country. We
say, then, a hotel is wanted in Platts-
niouth, and that right away. We havo
one as well kept as any hool In the West,
but the building not of the character
which the I'lattsmouth of six months
from date will demand. It has probably
Wn BiifSin'ont '... trie nasi, but will not
commence to do fur the future. . Let us
have a new hotel immediately. It will
pay, and that is the all important ques
tion. Let as have at least a quarter
block covered with a building suitable
for business houses in the first story
and a hotel above. The business will
support such an house before it can pos
sibly be erected.
SUPPORT YOUR HOME PAPER
If you would build up your city. We
do not say this solely because we want
people to patronize the Herald, but
because we believe that is the true meth
od for any people to pursue who would
attain success. We have only to cite
the people of this city to the neighbor
ing town of Omaha of which every
citizen of the State should feel proud
where they can see the effect of a united
effort to sustain the local press. No busi
ness man of Omaha could be found w ho
would decry the papers of that city, and
constantly threaten them with opposition
if they did not do exactly to please this
or that faction, but they gave them an
undivided support, and the publishers
have always felt safe in investing their
money in crowding the business-. The
people of that city have given no encour
agement to any enterprise which was
calculated to weaken their established
papers, and they have advertised with a
liberality that never fails of success. We
cite Omaha because her success is an es
tablished fact, and because the means
her citizens have employed Is familiar to
most of our citizens. Let us follow her
example if we would make our own city
as successful. Throw your united sup
port to the Herald, and it will give
every business interest aud business man
of the place as hearty a supjiort as lies in
its power. While we shall remain as
unflinching as the rock of ages on all po
litical questions, yet we are as ready to
help one man as another in any business
pursuit Let us work together to build
up the city, and have our political quar
rels as a side show.
MC IIOOE r.AWS.
Eight 3Iile Grove,
June 23d, 1809.
Hon. II. D. Hathaway: Dear Sir:
Owing to a diversity of opinion with
reference to existing school regulations,
I am induced to ask of you the following:
Did the Legislature at its last session
pass a bill modifying, amending, or in
any way affecting the School Law; and
if so will you confer a favor by publish
ing the Act in full through the Herald,
and oblige me. Very respectfully.
A Citizen.
Ans. The Legislature did, at its hist
session, pass a bill making some chan
ges in the school law, but we are unable
to say exactly what those chancres were.
as the bill was very lengthy, and the
changes were not made in the shaixj
or amendments, but were put
into an entire new bill, and it was passed
as an entirety. We have not the law,
consequently are unable to comply with
the request of "A Citizen" to publish it
in full. A bill was introduced at the
last session authorizing the publication in
local newspapers of all local laws, and
others of sufficient importance to re
quire immediate publication, which was
votctl down.
TRTXK RAIL. ROAD.
Editor. Herald. As the Nebraska
Trunk Railroad seems to be in a fair way
of success, would it not be well to hold an
election, to authorise the County. Com
missioners to issue-the Bonds of this
county to said railroad, to aid in building
the road through this county. The road
would probably follow the Missouri river
from the southern line of this count3
north, as the grading could be cheaply
made. Let us have the Nebraska Trunk
Rail Road.
Our correspondent appears to take it
for granted that the road will follow the
river. While we admit that it is the gen
eral belief, we do not consider the ques
tion at all settled. While it would be
pleasant for the people along the river to
have the line located on that route, it
would be equaVy satisfactory to those a
few miles back to secure the location
there. We are in for the early building
of the road, on either line, and hope
the enterprise may receive substantial
aid from the people of Cass County.
Our Plattomoutb
Neighbor is jubilating excessively over
this B. &. 31. Roadj thence to Lincoln.
We congratulate him upon fiseling se re
markably well, and we shall be happy to
meet him at the Lincoln Depot of the
Midland Pacific Railroad in May next,
lie may get there by staging part of the
way from Plattsmouth, so as to see the
first train into our State Capital. It is
needless to remark that the Midland
Company will run that train. "We
mean bnsiness." Nines.
All right, neighbor, only if you expect
to be as late as 3Iay next in getting to
Lincoln yon will never see the "first

great while ago, the News said some
thing about the 3Iidland Pacific pro

of that company being fulfilled with the

PLATTsnorru precixct
Votes next Saturday upon the proposi
tion to authorize the issue of $50,000 in
precinct bonds to defray expenses of se
curing right of way and Depot grounds
for the B & 31. R. R. We understand
there is considerable opposition to the
issue of the bonds, but the general im
pression is that the vote will carry, from
the fact that a majority of the voters of
thepreeiiict have signed a bond guaran
teeing this right of way, and it is not in
the nature of things that these men
should vote against taxing the minority
equally with themselves.
The settlers of nutral lands in Craw

der on the settlers, and declare that no
man has been shot or hung on account of
the land difficulties. All honest men
will be as safe there as in any place in the
country.
They do not urge, war upon private in
dividuals, but do oppose the so-called
Joy purchase, and will resist to the full
est extent any endeavor of his to build a

THAT SALE.
Wc hear considerable talk among pro
perty owners adjoining the city, since
our last issue, in regard to the sugges
tion we made about a Public Sale of lots,
and several of thorn appear to look upon
the project with favor, but are exceed
ingly slow in putting the matter into
practice. They should remember that it
is now high time they were taking ac
tive steps if they would adverti.su it thor
oughly and it would be worse than non
sease to attempt a scheme of that kind
without advertising it thoroughh. We
have still another suggestion in this mat
ter. If an arranzernent cannot be per
fected for having a public sale of an ad
dition to the city, let the different lot own
ers in the present coriorate limits join to
gether and have a public sale, by each
one designating the lots he will put into
the market in that shape. You need
not be afraid of the lots selling at low
prices; before you can possibly advertise
and hold a public sale, Plattsmouth will
have attracted sufficient attention and
mainly through this very means to
make the bidding spirited and profitable.
A LIVELY I'ltiHT.
There is a lively little family quarrel
going on among the Democracy of the
State just now, wherein A. F. Harvey
and the Statesman, appears on the one
side and Dr. 3IUler and the Omaha Her
ald on the ot her. To an outsider it looks
very much like the Dr. had the advan
tage in dirt, but that Ilarvev was ahead
ib argument and facts. It appears that
Killer wants to read Harvey out of the
party on the ground that he has dared to
give certain' facts to tlte world which do
not exactly tally with' some of the state
ments made by the Dr. through his pa
per. What makes it worse for Harvey
(in the-eyes of the Herald) is that these
facts were in vindication' of" the personal
character of a- political opponent against
the assault of the HeralkT, hence the lin
pardonableness of the sin in the eyes of
the Herald. It does not believe la such
nonsense as having respect for private
character where- political capital is in the
balance against it
EXTRA KESSIOX.
We hear considerable talk about an
Extra Session of the Legislature, and it
appears to be generally conceded that an
extra session will be held. We are not
prepared to say whether one is needed.
There are a number of points upon which
legislation is required, but whether they
are of sufficient importance to demand
an Extra session of the Legislature we
leave to his Excellency, the Governor.
There appears to be some difference of
opinion in regard to the time this extra
session should be held. The Omaha
Republican seems to favor an early day
say in September while the Brownville
Advertiser is opposed to holding it until
after the October elections. "While person
al convenience would most assuredly cause
us to coincide with th' views of th' Repul
lican, yet it seems to us there are grave
reasons why the session should not be held
until after the October elections. For in
stance, there are many localities where
special elections would be necessary to
fill vacancies. In the Senatorial district
composed of Cass, Sarpy, Saunders, Sew
ard and Butler there is a vacancy in con
sequence of 3Ir. Chapin having accepted
a Government office, and a session prior
to the October elections would necessi
tate an election throughout this entire
district; and we know of several other
vacancies where special elections would
be necessitated. Let us have th$ session
after the October elections, and then all
vacancies caw be filled without extra ex
pense to the people.
school laxdTav.
Ed. Herald: I desire to-call atten
tion to the imperfect character of the
law providing for the sale of School
lands, and the disposal of the money aris
ing therefrom. Uur Legislature luocti-
fied and improved the law passed two
years ago, still the present law might be
improved in sevej-al respects:
1st What is the necessity of requiring
the purcheser to give a note, due and
apyablein ten years, with interest paya
ble annually in advance, at ten ier cent,
and requiring him to enter into an agree
ment, aud put a dollar stamp thereon,
and acknowledge the same before a No
tary Public to surrender possession in case
of default when he has only a condition
al title at the lest if he has not paid the
full amount of the purchase money.
The land is ample security for the pay
ment of the debt arising from a balauce
of the purchase money, and the interest
accruing yearly, and it seems to me, that,
all that is ne.'e.-sary is for the State to give
the purchaser a certificate of purchase,
containing the terms and conditions of
the sale.
Then the law provides for the State
Treasurer investing the money in U. S. 6
per cent Bonds, or otltcr securities, which,
at best is a vague term and capable of
abu.se. Every cent of the money paid
into the Treasures' s hands in this county
can be loaned on first class unincumbered
real estate, and secured by mortgage,
with interest payable annually at 10 per
cent, every dollar of which would add to
the material wealth of our county and
State. Ifthe Governor calls a special
session of the Legislature (as I hone he
may) his attention ought to be called to
this subject. If a special session is call
ed it would be much better to defer it
until after the October election, as there
are a number of vacancies to fill in both
houses, and there seems to be little doubt
that the people will vote, almost una
mously, for a Constitutional Convention.
The Legislature could make the necessary
arrangements for holding a convention.
I know it is objected that it cannot be
done at a sjtecial session of the Legisla
ture as the Constitution provides that th'e
next Legislature should provide &c,
which is somewhat ambiguous but evi
dently means the next session. Our
State is rapidly filling up with active, en
terprising and iudustrious citizens. Rail
Roads are being projected and built in all
directions, in agricultural wealth we hope,
ere many years have passed, to be second
to no State in the Union. Lot us remod
el our Constitution and revise our laws,
and keep pace with the progress of the
age. The last Legislature accomplished
a good deal ami deserve credit, but bien
nial sessions of 40 days, are not enough
to secure the interests of a young and
vigorous State like Nebraska. . ,

may not be amiss to state, just here, that
we have great respect for every member

THE EFFECT OK BOLTERS.
In order that the Omaha "bolters,"
and others in this State of like tendency,
may know just what are the legitimate
fruits of their bolting proclivities when
fully carried out, we subjoin the following
from the Indianapolis Commercial. Ev
ery Republican in the State of Nebraska
watched with intense anxiety the prog
ress of the political fight in Indiana, and
felt that the bolters were responsible for
the snarl into which the party was
brought in that State. Is it worse to
bolt the party nominees in Indiana than
in Nebraska ? Here Is what the Com
mercial says:
Some nf tho Republican Press of the
Mate are sanguine enough to suppose
that we may at the special election de
feat some of the Democrats, who have
resigned. We wish we could share in
the pleasures of this hope. But we do
not Ifthe party was organized as it
was last fall we might do it easy. I lad
we had no traitors in our own ranks, and
lu.iiiiiuiiiL-u our parry intact at tne open
ing of the session, we might now succeed
in defeating many of these faithless men.
But we cannot do it now, and there is no
use to try. Indeed, we would have had
no resignation had it not been for the
disorganized condition of the Republi
can party. Leading Democrats, we un
derstand, admit this fact
1 ne bolters, at the opening of the ses
sion, did the business of our organization,
and now when actual work is needed to
crush out this Democratic rebellion and
this cowardly and highhanded revolution,
the noble partv that has saved the State
and the nation is powerless because of
tne disorganizing work of the "bpartan
Band."
To them must be chareed this state of
things, and upon their beads let it rest
What incentive have the active young
men oi tne party to work, when the
chief of the workers of the Republican

one another, it eventuates in putingall in

We are very many times obliged to the
Journal for its fatherly advice to us obout
how we should manage matters provid
ed, always, that there is no charge for
such advice. We shall hereafter keep
constantly in mind the many helf-sacrific-ing
efforts of the aforesaid Journal to as
sist Plattsmouth, and we shall never for
get the joy it has expressed upon the oc
casion of the location of the railroad at
this joint We are not the only ones
who note these things the people here
are of one mind. To speak seriously, we
are sorry to see our neighbor of the Jour

jubilant over the fact that,' a railroad is
actually being built from Plattsmouth

the appearance of everything from other
quarters. The Herald has said nothing
against any other point, but h:is said
much -in favor of Plattsmouth. If this
is our offence against the "State paper."
then we plead guilty. But as for 'swear
ing,' or intimating "that the B. & 31. R.
R. R. will not extend a line to Nebraska
City," it is all a mistake. Wc have all
the time said and did expect and lclieve
the B. & 31. R. IL R. Co. would build a
branch line from near Red Oak to opo
site Nebraska City, in Iowa, provided the
people complied with what they had in
dicated they would. The Herald has
ever maintained that Nebraska City would
have railroad connection, but it has also
maintained that Plattsmouth was to be
the city of the South Platte. If we have
committed a sin against the "Organ" by
saying that 'the glory has departed
from Omaha," so be it. We repeat it.
and quote from the Omaha Herald to
show that Omaha sees it in exactly the
same light :

Lynch Iw Threatened.
'From the TV,,, of the 2Sth.
About five o'clock last eveninsr our
people were started by a report ttat a
man had been shot and killed tvear the
Farmer's House on Main and 7th streets,
and crowds rushed from all directions to
the place to learn the particulars.
It seems that one Charles Warfield, a
desperate character who had just been
acquitted of murder in St Joe, was
passing along the alley back of the Farm
er's Ilouse in company with a Willie
Dutton. and Ed. Willoughby, passing
an out house in the rear of Phifers ten
bacco store, in which 3Ir. Phifer had
chained a valuable hunting dog which
growled as they passed, he drew bis pis
tol, put the muzzle through a crack and
shot the dog. A few steps further on,
when just iu the rear of the Farmers
House a boy came out from Phifers and
inquired who shot the dog. Warfield
turned round and replied he had done it,
repeating it several times while walking
towards the boy. When within reach of
him he struck him. 3Ieanwhile a young
German serving as hostler at the Hotel
came out and some words passed between
him and the boy, when A arfield turned
upon him in a most threatening manner.
One report says the young German seiz
ed a pole to defend "himself with, but
another says not. At all events War-
field immediately shot him, the ball en
tering near the groin and inflicting a fa
tal wound. The German is yet alive, but
there is not now and has not been since
he was shot, the slightest chance of bis
recover. Warfield walked away coolly
and apjeared perfectly indifferent A
few moments af terwards he was arrested
and lodged in jail, where he is now await
ing examination and trial.
The people and especially the Ger-
nians, were very much excited last even
ing, and so strong was the fears of lynch
law that Sheriff 3Ioore placed a guard
around the Court House to protect the
prisoner We understand that a second
guard of citizens gathered around the
yard to prevent his escape.
It is the first time for years that any
thing so terrible, and which the people
regard as so cold blood-blooded, has oc
cured in this community, but we forbear
all comment as the whole matter will un
dergo judicial investigation and the facts
be made known. The statements we
have made have been gathered from a
variety of sou-e?s and popular rumors,
and although they may be colored by the
excitement of the people, we believe they
are as correct as can now be obtained
under such circumstances.
srspiciors.
Several wagon loads of lumber for
Railroad shanties left town yesterday to
gether with a large number of scrapers,
plows, picks, &c. Rumor has it that
they are for the Lincoln and Plattsinouth
Road, but we think they are soon to be
found in active use along the line of the
Midland Pacific Railway from Nebraska
City to Lincoln. Aoca.
This "thought" of the JVocs is correct
ed by the Statesman, and copied into
another column of the Herald.
SCHOOL LAXDSALE IS LANCASTER.
We clip the following in relation to
the Sale of School Lands iu Lancaster

The sales of School lands in Lancaster

land offered brought good prices.
The aggregate was 11,750 acres at an
averaere of $8.04 per acre, realizin?
$04,5t7.i;o. There were 1 ,800 acres sold
last year at $45,000, and there remains
in the county over 17, 000 acres, for whieli
two gentlemen have offered cash down
the minimum price of $7,00 per acre.
The School lands of Lancaster county
may therefore be reckoned at

3IASOXIC ELEBRATIO.
The Masonic Celebration at Omaha
last week was the grandest affair of the
kind ever witnessed in the State. The
following resolutions were adopted by
the visiting bretheren in attendance at
the banquet :
Whereas, The Masonic bodies of
Omaha have this day given a practical
demonstration of masonic hospitallity and
enterprise in all respects, hitherto un-
knowu in this or adjacent jurisdictions;
and
Whereas, It is fitting and projer
that the fraternity should recognize, in a
public manner, such true, magnificent
and fraternal efforts ; therefore,
Resolved, That the thanks of the whole
masonic fraternity attending this celebra
tion of the anniversary of St. John the
$292,570
The wisdom of the Legislature in nut
ting a reasonable minimum on the school
lands is more apparent on every side.
Accident.
A gentleman by the name of Win.
Trumbie, from Kalamazoo, Mich., was
seriously injureu yesteruay. while en route
from Plattsmouth via the Western Statre
Company.
It appears that wln-n about three miles
from Omaha, the horses, four in number,
became frightened at some object in the
road, and started to run. Some of the
passengers, becoming frightened, leaed
from the coach and thus saved them
selves from any particular injury. The
'fiery, untamed steeds" had proceeded
but sixty or seventy rods when the dri
ver sprang from the box, leaving tlte
horses to go wheresoever their inclina
tion dictated. Mr. Trumble was inside.
and only attempted an exit when he
fjund evenbody had deserted the vehi
cle. Dreading to be alone he tried to
jump out ot the door. At this moment
the four-wheeled concern struck a stone
and capsized, throwing the member
from Michigan nn his face, and falling
heavily upon his body. His right thigh
was dislocated, and l)r. Coffmau informs
us it will probably lay the man up for
six months.
One of the horses fell at the upsetting
of the coach, and was dragged several
rods.
What kind of drivers do the company
employ, that thc3' desert tluir charge
when danger threatens? Mr. Trumble
tells us that the Jehu not only jumped
off when the horses started, but neglected
to put on the brake. Such coitluct is
censurable, to sa- the least. Rejwft-lican.
