PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA.
THURSDAY,.. NOV. 18, 18G9.
PLlTTNlIOCTII-AKULAXO-i IX.
These three points will soon be within
a few hours of each other, connected by
the B. Sl M. R. R. in Nebraska. What
id beneficial to one point is beneficial to
all, and what is beneficial to the H. & M.
Railroad in Nebraska is beneficial to
each of these towns. The prosperity of
any one can not possibly be of any dinad
yaatage to the other, but rather an ad
vantage. Plattsmouth being the first to
Lear the anort of the iron horse, sends
greeting to her sister cities, hoping and
believing these too will soon hear the
frame gladdening sound. Let ua prepare
for a grand jollification upon the opeuing
of thin road to Ashland, and a repetition
of it when it reaches Lincoln, the Queen
Ciif of the Prairies.
PLATTHJaUl'TII
UKAUSEV.
TO FORT
Did you ever take one of Colton's Sec
tiousl uiaps of Nebraska, and observe
. tLe great extent of country between
PLtttmiuuth aud Ft. Kearney? It id an
uiinbfn.se country, one of the richest in
the world, and capable 01 supporting
Terr dense population. J las vast region
of country is poon to bo drained by the
B. &M. 11. R. of Nebraska, aud Piatt
laouth U to be the port of entry, and
depot of supplies. She will al-o be the
market point for millions of bushels of
grain and thousands of cattle to be ship
ped from this vast region every year.
If any one has a jingle doubt of the fu
ture of this city, let him take the map
look at the general location, aud then
apply the test of reason. One of the
great national thoroughfares is being
rapidly pushed westward from this place
on the hot grade that can be obtain:
in the world, and is just entering as fin
ami agricultural country as ever was
"tickled with a hoe." The head wafer
of the Nemahas, the Blues and the lie
publican, are all within the reach of the
road the only one penetrating that re
gion of country.
SO lIo.XUEK A Dol'BT.
The Nebraska City people will not
probably, longer claim the "through
line" of the li. & M. road by way of
that city. The Chronicle corresiondent
eays, in the issue of that paper of the
11th: "From the best information that
can be gathered, there is no longer a
doubt in regard to the swindle of the B
& M. R. 11.' This means of course that
"there is no longer a doubt" that the
main line is via Plattsruouth, instead of
Nebraska City. We know many of the
people of Nebraska City have contended
tnat trie mam line 01 tne l. & 31. was
to be by way of that city, but we do not
believe the company promised any such
thing, neither do we believe they should
be declared swindlers because they do
not make that the through route. We uu
derstand, from the Nebraska City pa
pers, (and they shouMho good authority)
that the contract -is already let for build
ing the hrav.ch from Red Oak, and that
work has been commenced. Is not this
all the company agreed to do? What
more can the people of Nebraska City
expect? We are glad to know, however,
that some of the people of Nebraska
City think there is "no longer a doubt"
about this being the great through
route.

The New York Democrat in a review
of the qualities and surroundings essen
tial to make a successful editor, and al
luding to the department in , General
Lee's college intended to educate young
mon for the journalistic profession, truth
fully says :
"We would give no more for one of
Gen. Lce'a editors than for John Pope's
strategy or Beast Butler's bravery. This
broadcloth, kid glove, "private mark."
stj'Ie is all well enough till you come to
peel for work. Then, blood and pluck
tell.
The printing office is the place to edu
cate editors. Upward from the street
newsboys the ink smeared apprentice
the ftcady working journeyman- the
careful reporter the ready and rapid
writer, who with the pen photographs
C7ents the close observer, quick to catch
ideas, and hold in their defence the
men who have graduated in printing ofli
ces, and whose diploma is the battered
ami corner-worn printer's rule these
arc the men and the diplomas.
Young men, if you wish to learn mili- j
tary form in lino, guide right to Gen-
eral Lee's college, forward march! lt
you wnh to be editors about face; d-- j
ploy to right and left to different print
ing offices, on the double-quick march !

A correspondent of the Chronicle
writes as follows :
It may not be generally known the
course pursued bv the IJ. " & "M."Jt.'"R.:
Co. in their negotiations, 4c, for build
ing a branch of their road from Red Oak
Junction to Nebraska City. The people
ef this county supposed when the Coun
ty Commissioners gave them the very
liberal aid of $15'),(X0 in bonds, that
they were to have a direct line eastward
from this place, independent of other
lines, and to m used as a through line,
instead of which this company is build
ing a line down the Noshnebotna river to
Hamburg there to connect with the fct.
Joe & C. B. railroad, and run on their
line to within li mile of the ferry oppo
site -Nebraska City,, and then circle
northwest and connect with the same
road at about the same distance from
Nebraska City, as where they leave it,
making two and one-half miles of new
road to build, one half the expense of
hich ii paid by the St. Joe & C. B.
road. Then, there is built oppoite to
your county, in Iowa, one and one-fourth
mile 01 railroad to compensate you lor
giving $150,000 of your money.
it this was all. it might be borne, as it
ould only involve the loss of tl e money.
But at Hamburs: they connect with the
St. Joe & C. B. road and run on their
road to Craig, Missouri, and there di
verge to a point opposite Rulo, and there
form a junction with the Nemaha Valley
road, and run southwest, securing for
other points the trade that always has
been, and Mill ought to be secured ty
Nebraska City.
This correspondent is undoubtedly
borrowing unnecessary trouble about the
future action of the B. & M. Company
In one particular we think, he sees a
glimmer of light, and that is in the fact
that the road to Nebraska City is not to
be a through route,but only to accommo
date the local trade. This Nebraska City
branch will connect with the main line
from this city at or near Red Oak, in
Iiwa, and will transact all the business
required from Nebraska City eastward;
but, of course, all through business will
be via Plattsmouth. The company has
no other route over which to carry
through freight from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

General I telegraphed you yesterday
that "II" company, under Lieut, lias-

back and saw no siirns or living Indians in
the country south of the Platte but there
was round a tresh Indian tomb m a tree
on the Republican, between the mouths
of Frenchman's Fork and Red Willow,
three bodies ot liuck Indians, and one
had on it the enclosed paper, which an
iears to be a letter dated "Morris I.

the name of one of Mr. Buck 8 survey

doubt of the fate of Mr. Warner, and it
may be some consolation to his sister to

THE CODFISH.
The codfish is the child ov the oshen.
'hi.- awounts for their Leine ho salt.
Tht-v are caught with a hook ami line.
anJ bite like a s teel trap, and hang on
ke a ior relation.
They are cood eatine for a wet dav :
they are better than an umbrelly to keep

Keno is a fair game. To lie .sure ten
per cent, goes to the Bank every time,
and because it does, Editors say that it
still invariably in the end, take all that
the man has who bucks agaiiiht it. We
say it invariably won't. Let ten men
with $10 each set down to play at one
dollar . a card until all are broke. Ten
per cent., one dollar, goes to the bank on
the firstroll. Ten per cent, on the sec
ond. Now we ask (serioulv) some of
the mathematical Editors like 1 Iathaway,
for instance, who don't like Kcno, be
cause he was unfortunate in making his
"cases" tvll us just how long it will take,
at ten per cent, each game, to exhaust
that $100 How long mut the ten men
play to-gct cleaned out? UtateavuiJi.
'Now, seriously," we think Ajax
ought not to ask us to figure out thi3
problem, when he has such an enquiring
turn of mind himself. They do say
there is no school like experience ; and
we therefore "respectfully but firmly"
refer the matter back to the editcr of the
Statesman. It vuty be a difficult matter
for Ajax to pive the required informa
tion from his own experience, as we have
heard it hinted that the proprietors of
these games sometimes employ "cap
pers" to whom they furnii-h funds with
which to play.
It b reported that Sir John Macdonal J
in a conversation the pther day, declared
there was sonic sense in the annexation
of Canada to the United States, but
none whatever in Canadian independence
"When we are ready for anexation,"
aid he, "I shall go for a sixteenth am
endment to the Constitution, so a fore
igner can become President and then run
f-.r th-egvv."

I think T should ketch froes well enufF
but should insist on their taking them
selves off the hook.
I had rather take hoss bumble bee in
hand than a froir.not because I am afraid
the frog would bite, but I am afraid ov
their kickin.
Sum people aint afraid to take any-
tiling with their lianas that they can
reach, not even an eel, but if I should
get caught by an eel, if I couldn't Fettle

bargain and put tor home.
The codfish is said to be an aristokrat.
and to keep aloof from other lish of his
size in the sea and claims to be a relation
of the whales, but this looks to be rather

Mr. Benjamin Elliott was coming to
