WIIE NOT LOOK RACK.
The I3rownvLIl Democrat ' ays, iu
hpcakinof Dr. Miller as the tallow can
dle of Democracy in the iiorth-we.-t, that
. "lie U itot wedded to the dead ami uiv
fortunute a.Ht;'' '"he will nut strip
hhrouds from the dead and buried things
of years ago." -We rather exjicct that
i a fact. Neither Dr. Miller or the ed
itor of the Democrat, or "any other
loan" who stood with them during the
the dark and stormy days when the brave
boys in blue were battling for the life of
the nati n, cares to look back, and "strip
hrouJs from the dead" heroes which
thfir treachery to the flag of our country
caused to fill untimely grave. We do
not wonder that Dr. Miller and his fol
lowers frhudder when the "t-hroud is
(stripped from thudead and buried things
of years ago." There are many in the
land who were "wedded to the dead and
unf jrtnnatc" beings whom these leaders
of Democracy fear to "utrip shrouds
from," and the wail of the widow and
orphan Httots the fact.
THE STATE JOl'ItXAL
ay it retracts, in good faith, its fling
at the men who framed and submitted
t lie present State Constitution. We are
glad to know it does so. We know that
"men like Mawn, Lake, Crounse, Miller
C'hapiri. and others," must have felt ex
ceedingly bad about it. I5ut it is all
right now, we presume. We agree with
th Journal that our State Constitution
needs alterations and amendments, and
we believe eYoryninrt who assisted in
framing it sees the necessity of these al
teration as clearly ase'ther the Journal
or ourself does. The question as to
whether or not the Constitution needs
amending is one that will hardly admit
of a discussion there is really only one
hide to it. We do not know of a man in
the State but thinks changes are nevess
ary; yet they do not feel inclined to cen
sure the men who framed the document
because of the necessity of change. As
the Journal says about the majority of
the people who voted to adopt this faul
ty document, it was any port in a storm
so with Diany of the nun who voted iu
the legislature to submit this document.
They had to do that or to do worse that
is, to defeat the State movement.
ht'.LF (iOVKKNJIKXT,
At the assembling of the Peace and
Liberty league at Lausanne, Switzer
land, lately held there, Victor Hugo was
prominent as a speaker. Nearly all the
liberty-bning men of Kurope were pres
ent; and (Jaribaldi was only prevented
from attending 1 v inability to rise from
his sick bed at Caprcra. He it was who
two years ai.'o inaugurated this Republi
can movement at Ueneva, and his ab
sence was greatly lamented at Jiusannc
this year. The purport of this great
ci invocation may le gathered from ictor
Hugo's words "wc desin: with all our
souls a grand continental republic we
desire the l.'niti J Stales if Uu r.o:"
From the protvedings, we gather, that
although a l'eace Convention, these
great agitators and lovers of truth mean
battle unless liberty can be speedily ob
tained otherwise. There Is no doubt
that Kuropf N on the eve of great po
litical events h.-r thnmes are tottering
and the voices of her millions ascend to
heaven daily praying tor such a govern
ment as exists in our own favored land.
All who Itelieve in the strength of truth
cannot doubt which side will finally pre
vail I m m ; it at i ox.
To induce Immigration to Nebraska
by fair and honest representations has
always been one of the principal features
f the IIkivU-D. and should be a promi
nent feature in the platform of principles
laid fown for the guidance- of every
newspajvr in the State ; not only of
every newspaper but of every individual.
A small effort on the part of each indi
vidual to promulgate a proper knowledge
of the many advantages of our State,
would do more than all else to induce
immigration and settle our broad
prairies. Uev. (Jeo. S. Alexander, of
Nebraska City, has been appointed Com
missioner of Immigration lor the State,
and we are glad to know that he is com
mencing to collate such information as
cannot fail to be of great service in the
prosecution of his lalors. He is appeal
ing directly to the jeopIe for information
concerning the various localities, and
asks farmers direct questions concerning
their farms, crops, stock, etc., which,
when answered cannot fail of having the
desired effect upon intelligent people
who contemplate removing from the
crowded localities of the eastern States
and Kurope. We hope every person ap
plied to by Mr. Alexander will make
haste to answer all questions asked, and
to answer them fairly and honestly. with
out endeavoring to make the advantages
of the State appear one whit better than
they are.
Our neighbor, IMattsmouth, which
prides itself on its law abiding citizens,
presented to the last term of District
Court a "heavy" criminal docket. Six
persvuw were sentenced to penitentiary
for different crimes, during the term just
clTsed. This is a heavy showing for
I'lattsmouth. Xeb. City Chronicle.
But out of the six, not one was a citi
icn of the town. They were all "roughs' '
having left some slow place to ply their
vocations in a rising town. The fact of
so many leing sentenced shows one thing
clearly, which is that our officers arc
prompt to arrest rascals, and our courts
are prompt to convict them. Scoundrels
find "Jordan a hard road to travel"
here it passes through Cass County.
The editor of the Louisville Democrat,

WIXTEK WHEAT.
The Urownville, Democrat says :
"Considerable winter wheat has been
sown this fall in the county, and it uni
versally looks well. We have conversed
with several of our largest wheat grow
ers upon the practicability of raising
winter wheat, and it is the general opin
ion that it will prove a success. We will
notice this department of agriculture
more fully hereafter."
We are of opinion that the raising of
winter wheat in Nebraska has never been
as fully tested as it should be. It is gen
erally believed that winter wheat cannot
le successfully produced iu Nebraska ;
but we have always dissented front this
view. Decause winter wheat did not
prove a success in the first experiments,
it has been nearly abandoned. We re-
memtter when it was thought nothing
bat corn could be raked with profit in
this State when it was thought imitos
sible to raise any kind of fruit. To-day
we are the great wheat produciug State
of the Union, having a larger average
yield of spring wheat than any other
State, and the indications are that we
will be at least equal, if not sujerior to
any other State as a fruit growing coun
try. Our eminence in the production of
these crops has been attained by exjeri
menting with different varieties and by
different modes of culture. Cannot the
same result bo obtained by a littlo exjeri
ment in the raising of winter wheat.
We believe it can. Who will try it and
report to the Hkiiamj their manner of
cultivation and the results.
THE 3'cMCKTY HIHIIEU TBI A I..
After Verdict of Utility boeh
lirnderal two of the Prison
em Ecnie.
The Omaha Republican of this morn
ing contains a full history of the trial of
the four Indians charged with the mur
der of Edward McMurty. The jury
brought in a verdict of guilty against
Yellow Sun, Little Wolf, Ulue Hawk
and Horse Driver. As the prisoners
were being conducted to jail after the
verdict, they made a simultaneous rush
to get away. Yellow Sun and Little
Wolf were seized by the guards and
held, but the other two succeeded in get-.
ting away, and up to the hour the Re
publican went to press tnis morning, had
not been heard of.
I'rraionl And the Tribune.
The Fremont Tribune comes to us as
usual, laden with a full collection of all
the local news of that city and county,
written up in a spicy style. It reminds
us that about two short years since, l-'re-mont
was an inland town of which few
reoplc in Nebraska even, had ever heard,
lays saw the opportunity and took time
by the forelock, occupied the place and
supplied the want of a first class local
paper. To the efforts of the Tribune
may lc attributed much of tli. present
importance of Fremont, and the eople
and business men attest their apprecia
tion by extending a hearty and lilieral
snpport. Th- little village of two years
ago has grown into a city of some
three thousand inhabitants, having a
junction of two great railroad lines and a
third in actual course of building. It is
also the terminus of the projected Ne
braska City and Northwe.-tcin Railroad,
which will" add materially to its growth
and commercial importance. Sittrited
in the heart of a splendid agricultural
country and having the superior railroad
facilities mentioned. Fremont is destined
to Ik: one of the lest inland towns of the
wist. In her days of prosperity we
trut she will have no occasion to forget
the valuable services rendered in her be

management of our energetic friend J.

From the Nelirahka Citv Chronicfr.l
A man by the name of Sam. Davis,
who enme to this city a few weeks nince
from CheyennCj and who has been engag
ed for a short time past in the meat shop
of Laloo and (Jerber, but had been dis
charged Lecatise the proprietors had no
further work for him to do, came into
the meat market yesterday aoont eleven
o'clock and asked Mr. Ialioo if he could
not help him to some kind of work, at
which no could make an honorable living
Mr. Liiboo told him he knew of iiothiue
at present, but thought he could
find work soon. Mr. Davis seemed des
pondent and finally bid Mr. Laboo good
bye and started out. Jtboo asked him
if he was going away and he answered
that he was going to leave this world.-
Laboo laughed at him thinking it was a
joke, and told him he wonld assist him to
work or help him until such time as he
could obtain work. Davis then left the
shop and walked into a saloon adjoining,
where he placed a pistol against Ins fore
head aud fired, intending to kill himself.
A,s he was about shooting, some man
near him saw the act and attempted
to seize the pistol, and in so doing raised
the muzzle so that the ball penetrated
the skull higher up than he intended. -
Ho was immediately relieved of the pis
toh but wonld not aocert anv inedical
treatment for some time. Dr. Larsh
was called aud finally succeeded in keep
ing the patient quiet until he could ex
amine the wound. It was found that
the ball penetrated the skull at the up
per part of the forehead and came out at
the back part of the head. It seemed
difficult to ascertain the extent of the in
jury, and even at this time it is uncertain
how the matter may turn, lie recover
ed sufficiently to walk a distance of three
or four block to the Johnson House,
where he is now stopping.
We have learned but little of his histo
ry, but understand that he came from
the east to Cheyenne some time since, in
good circumstances, but was drawn into
the great whirl-pool of gambliugv which
is carried on to so wild an extent in the
aliove named aud other towns on the
frontier.", and lost all he had. He after
ward came to this citv, since which time
w. have detailed what we know of his
history.
It is stated that he was not drinking,
but seemed in full posession of all his
faculties. His rash conduct was no
doubt the effect of temporary insanity,
produced by brooding over his misfor
tunes, and consequent depressed spirits.
The 'aue of Omaha.
This ease is presented by an editorial
iu the Republican of the 2Sth inst., un
der the following title :
"Citizens of Omaha rrs. Whether
Omaha shall be the Great City of the
Missouri Valley, or one of its villages ?"
From what we know of this case we
think that the only- question is whether
the citizens of Omaha have 1 ecu sleep
ing too long on their rights.
Last-winter the Stftte of Nebraska of
fered 2.000 acres of land for every mile
of railroad that should be built within
its borders, provided that such road
should construct 10 miles within one
year.
Well do we recollect that it was re
peatedly urged against the bill making
this liberal grant, 'Omaha and the IJ. R
R. 1L will build comme ncements to a
dozen roads, and gobble all the 4-jO.OnK)
acres !" Itw:ia claimed that Omaha bad
the capital, the enterprise, and the U.
I. R. R., and with these she would se
cure the whole grant.
The year is drawing to a elo.-e, and now
we find a. writer, said to be a leading
capitalist, and a shrewd business man.
asking that the time may be extended in
order that Omaha may compete with the
B. & M. R. R. extension and the Mid
land l'acitic !
The trouble is, Omaha, glory ing in be
ing the biggest, fastest, and smartest
town west of Chicago, commenced to pat
its own head and spend its time in gazing
into the looking-glass and exclaiming
"bully boy?" at its own reflection.
There was nothing iu the wide world
to binder the citizens of Omaha from
putting down the first 10 miles of two
railroads the one oening up the Elk
horn Valley, and the other tapping the
vast but undeveloped resources of cen
tral and .southwestern Nebraska.
But now they begin to awaken from
their lethargy, acknowledge that they
are in danger of losing the race, and de
mand a new start for the R. R. sweep
stakes. Others have undertaken what Omaha
has neglected ; other markets are being
offered to the South, and other points
are reaching out after the riches of the
Elkhoru Valley.
We agree perfectly with the writer of
the article referred to, that the cause of
Omaha is down for adjudication at an
early day ; but we do not agree with him
that the law gnanting the lands to the
Railroads nas a "ridiculous law," or
that it ' fettered" Omaha. On the con
trary, it opened wide the golden gates of
prosjierity to that city, which was letter
prepared to profit by its provisions than
anv other locality.
Neither was the slur at the Governor
in good taste. To our personal knowl
edge he has leen unremitting in his ef
forts during the past season to stir up
Omaha to a sense of the situation, and
to urge upon her the necessity of build
ing the South-western and . the I'khorn
roads. Lincoln .Journal.
Another Wire.
The Burlington JIav kcye says : The
B. & M. Railway Company are putting
up an additional telegraph wire on their
poles from Burlington westward, which
will probably be strung as far as Chari
ton this fall. The first wire will reach
the river in a few weeks. The Company
already have a short line in oieratioii
from the river eastward to Ghnwood,
with which connection will be made as
soon as the track is complete. The in
creasing business of the company renders
a second wire a necessity, and under the
efficient and vigilant care of Superin
tendent Yates these lines will be an im
portant link of eoumunieation lietween
Burlington and all the rest of the world
westward.

Jovca City, Nov. 3d 1SG9,
Dear Herald: I have made a few
explorations, and will attempt to chron
icle them in as brief a manner as iossi
ble. In the course of my perambula
tions I must say that I have found Iowa
City a larger place than I anticipated.
It has a population of about si.000 is
cleanly7, enterprising and almost strictly
temperate. Itw houses are large and
commodious, business houses arc numer
ous and of the first class, mid business
brisk. An hour or two of a Sunday
could not be more profitably or pleasant
ly spent than in either one of the fine
church edifices of the city. Iowa City is
on the Iowa river, and also on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad,,
and is surrounded by a beautiful aud fer
tile country. It is the seat of the State
University, which, institution now has
350 students. Its nucleus and faculty
are such fts are ever calculated to make
it a success. The institution is divided
into several departments, a f ew of which
I will mention: Normal, Medical, (the
Medical department, however, is at
Keokuk) Law and Collegiate. Fair in
ducements are offered to students,
whether of much means or ..not, to enter
any of the departments ami complete the
course, if they desire. Iowa City will
be remembered by the reader as having
once been the capital of the State, hence
its importance. There are four first
class printing offices iu the city- the
Press, Rfjwblicaii, Tribune um Report
er, resK;ctively. The first mentioned is
Democratic, the next two Republican,
and the latter Educational edited by
the students of the University, in behalf
of that institution. Comments are un
necessary, it is sufficient to fay they arc
all neat sheets and ably edited.
Three business, houses with nearly all
their contents, were destroyed by fire on
the morning of the 1st inst., before day
break. The buildings were in the most
business part of the city, and the loss to
the owners cannot fall short of several
thousand dollars. Conflagrations seem
to have been a common occurrence here
for three weeks eleven business houses
having been burned to ashes, and many-
others seriously injured by the flames.
The buildings burned on the 1st were a
giocery store, bakery and millinery shop.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
A little snow fell here on the 2.th ult.,
but it was so light as to be hardly dis
cornable. . More, &c,

IMPORTAN TO BOTH SEXES
There exists a false, delicapy and rnda
aiii.iuutiua-almost to prudery, iu regard to con -sulti.14
a physician 111 certain maladies. The
medical faculty recognize it. and tun dumb.
Thi-v the public, alliietcd, aekiiowlciiKC the
truth of it. and sutler in silence. The province
of this ru-eular is to present the Mibject iu it
true li(ilt. ,.
Iliin.lrcds of lives arc lost every year by di.--rasrr
which Itavo been ncitlcctrd or iinprop rly
treated. In the case ot yoiuiK men there seclus
ui apology. ''l yet i luany caes they a'.tctnpt
to cure tbeiis-l e With vile nostrums, and 111
consequence shorten their lives, ainl pass the
miserable remnant of existence with their blood
tilled with thcpoi) I a stifled, but not cured
disease, which must inevitably be transmitted
to the third and fourth general 10111.
With youiiK women there eecms some excuse,
and yet their utmost secrecy wilt nt onceal tha
facts. Any iiilclliireiit physician who walks
these streets can recojenix" among the ladies, by
certain infallible tokens known to htm. und of
which the sulferer are ntlcii totally ignorant,
the ravages of that wide spread scourge, the
w hites. Any intelligent physician can (MMiitout
in his daily walks scores of this und kindred
o, 111 plaints, iu both sexes, the existence of which
they cannot ignore. The educated sunVrcr
knows the physician can delect this. The phy
sician knows that the sullerer knows it, and yet,
in nine eases out of ten, the atHiclod individual
fciils to consult the man whom he knows in cog-
uiz.nit. both of the complaint and the means of
cure. Know ing that health can be restored, and
who can restore it, they deliberately allow them
selves to beeome mere wrecks of Immunity, ami
to transmit di.-ci.-ed constitutions to their
descendants.
To Youus illcn.
In every cominunity there arc vast number
of young men alliietcd with seminal weakness,
nociurnal emissions, lassitude, debility, and the
other attendant symptoms of t-ecrct disorder,
undermining .the eon.-t itul ion, and totally de
stroying its victim, mentally aud physically,
sooner or later. The disease is progrcssn e.and.
if not cheeked, diz.'.iness. loss of memory, un
coil! tollable pi -net ast inal ion iu business, pains
i:i the back, side and knees, yellowish drool
from the mouth during slee. and failure of ll
physical energy soon follows, f rom this staire
is a t-ciics ofsiioi t steps to an early grave, or tbo
confinement of a lunatic asylum.
.MiHiy of thec young men have responded fo
advertisements ot so-called llenevnlent "Asso
ciations," or unscrupulous quaeks in distant
eitics. and after h iving been swindled of tbr..
money by one und another, hare abandoned
hope and pronounced themselves incurable.
lr. Stoddard practices n the "no cure, no
pay" principle, and proposes to forfeit Jl.tWO and
all fees if he fails to cure any case of seminal
weakness where his treatment ami directions
arc followed, lie uses no secret remedies nono
but vegetable medicines, and his peculiar treat
ment must receive the endorsement of all who
nitelligcntly pursue it.
To .Harried ladies.
There are ladies who. from delicate constitu
tions, indigent circumstances, or an already iiu
r.icrous ollsnriiiir. do not wish to become mot hers.
