As an illustration of how little i.

he was armed and equipped when he
first viited the State, expecting to be
obliged to fight his way through myriads
of Indians. lie left the Missouri river
for the west, and instead of savages cov
ered with paint, he met farmers
coming to town with produce, and saw
fine farm houses, villages, etc., and finally
he hid his fire arms in the wagon and
acknowledged that he had never known
Nebraska. He is now a valued citizen
of the State, an I believes there is need
of printer's ink in advertising our State.

Two daily trains, for passengers and

and Ashland as soon a everything 13 in

this city in the morning, and the other in

During the past month we have talked
with a very large number of men who
are engaged in different kinds of business
that causes them to travel about through
all the different parts of the weat, and
to visit all the cities and towns, and all
with whom we have talked agree that
Platt?m juth is doin more business,
building more houses, and is the liveliest
town west of Chicago. This is encour
aging to our citizens, and should cause
them to redouble their efforts to make
this the first city on the Missouri river.

THE OUOE.N HO INK CLOSED.
A Sad Day for Couucil IllaflT.
From the Council Bluffs papers we
learn that the Ogden House, the pride
of that city, has been closed by process
of law. The lessee, Mr. Porterfield,
was unable to pay the rent, and the fur
niture was attached by the proprietor for
back rent, and the house closed up.
This must bo a sad blow to Counei

THE "PIlAiRIM'S" COJIIXa.
Plattflmouth ttie "Sierra" of the West
When vre first settled in the town of
Plattsmouth, five years ago, we used to
look with admiration on the long lines 0
white covered wagons that daily thronged
the banks cf the old Muddy, and after
crossing her turbid waters made their way
westward to the gold fields of Colorado
Idaho, Montana, etc. ; but that admira
tion was nothing in comparison to that
of the present, when we look again and
see similar lines thronging the river bank
and instead of going westward to the
milling regions they are making Platts
mouth and surrounding country the
Mecca of their j ilgrimage. People are
finding that there i more gold to be
made right here than in any mining re
gion in t lie world. Come on ! There is
room for all of you.

TilK IJ- OOKJi HOlSi:.
Tf there is any one thing which more
than any other exhibits the growth of a
city and the enterprise of its citizens, it
is its hotel accommodations for the trav
elling public. When the eastern travel
ler, accustomed to all the conveniences of
eastern hotel life, reaches the "far west"
and finds nothing but defective arrange
ments for the accommodation of travel
ers, he involuntarily makes an indellible
mental note, in which the town devoid cf
hotel is put down as "moss-grown"
destitute of energy and without enter
prise consequently he infers that such
place is not the one for a man to settle
mi f a.
in. 1 lie same opinions grow irom want
of many other city convenience, good
pavements, good street crossings, hand
some avenues, etc. lut wnere an incse
attributes of energy, enterprise and
go-aheadativeness are founl, the im
pression on the visitor is always favorable.
Ie sees ia these evidences of a live com
munity. J hese arrow heads which point
the direction of the current flowing from
the many springs of inherent vigor in a
place, settle definitely, in the minds of
most observing men, that such localities
arc moving onward in the race to reach
the great goal of success ; and in propor
tion to such iniprovenienti will the fa
vorable or unfavorable impression of
travellers be ineted out to our western
cities.
It is, therefore, with no little pride
that we point attention to the heading of
this article. We know of no house in
Nebraska where every comfort of the
traveller is so thoroughly provided for.
Spacious and lofty rooms, most thor
oughly ventilated and finished without
regard to cost ; everything being pre
pared with an eye single to the comfort
of its guests, a dining room eighty by
thirty feet in length ; a billiard hall at
tached as large as any in the State, ex
cept the magnificent palace of the Shoaf
Bros, at Omaha.
Even' bed room is so arranged that a
fire can be used in cold weather. Ele
gant parlors, most luxuriantly furnished;
suites of rooms for famil es; tonsorta)
room., attached to office; realing
rooms, bath rooms ; in a word, all thingf
which tend to make a man feel comfort
able, and cause ladies to feel delighted
and charmed so far as hotel lite can doso,
are harmoniously arranged in this wt
ordered and elegantly cc 11st: ucted Hotel ;
and from cellar to garret, everything, in
eluding furniture, bedding, carpets and
all other necessaries about such an estab
lishment is new and sweet without com
parison anywhere. Situated on Main
street, it is within two minutes walk from
the Railroad Depot. The Post Office is
next door. Five Churches the Con
gregational, Episcopal, Roman Catholic,
Methodist and Presbyterian are within
a few minutes walk. All the County,
City, Railroad, Express and Telegraph
offices arc on the same street and within
a few blocks. The Steamers navigating
the Missouri river, land at the foot of this
street three blocks from the Brooks
House : and to cap the climax of the
many advantages, its internal raanage
ment is in the hands of the very prince
of Nebraska landlords J. C. Iligby &
Son arc renowned ail ever Nebraska
for their uniform kindness and courtesy
to travellers ; and jvith us, it is a source
01 irreiit pleasure to reel that witn to
truly elegant a hotel as the "Brook
and with "'mine host" Iligby te superin
ten it, Plattsmouth will be a word re
calling nothing but pheasant association
in the memories of its patrons.
It is the intention of the gentlemanly
proprietors to have a general opening re
eeption on the 12th inst, and we can as
sure all those who design visiting Piatt
mcuth, that if they arrange their affair
so as to be here on that occasion they
will indorse every word we have said, an'.
insist that we have not told half the
good things we should about the Brooks
House.

"In union there is strength," and this
is not less true in polities than in bu.-i
ness. The Republicans have found
streneth in union ; to this and a thor
ouch organization they owe their first
erasn upon power and all their suhse
quent success ; to the lack of it they
owe the clouds that arc already hovering
in their tuture- ISo public enterprise
no private cbeme and no political party
can reach ruin and defeat quicker than
by forccttmc an'l neglecting these max
ims. Com muni ties think, speak and act
tor themselves as bodies, and not for the
individuals who compose them. No one
man can alwavs make an entire commu
nity think as he does, and many a man
has ruined himself in the foolish at
tempt to accomplish this."
We clip the above very truthful para
graph from an editorial article in the Nc.
bra-ka City Times. We agree with it
all except we fail to see the ' clouds"
spoken of. There is no doubting the
statement that " in union there is
strength," and none ever felt the
"strength" of the "union" more severely
than did the political adherents of the
Times during their recent effort to de
stroy the union. We hope true Republi
cans may never forget the truths con
tained in the above paragraph, written
by one who learned the fact through ad
versity. THE AT ATE FtSITEXITABT.
rbe Contract Let for tbe
BuildiDff.
Temporary
An act was passed last winter author
izing the erection ef a temporary build
ing to be used as a penitentiary building
until the permanent structure waserected.
The Inspectors met at Lincoln last week
and opened the bids for the erection of
the temporary building. Messrs. Hal
lowell & Fitzgeral, ef this city, wer the
lowest, consequently the successful build
ers. They went out yesterday to close
up the details of the contract, and will
proceed at once with the erection of the
building, nallowell & Fitzgerald can do
the job better and in less time, probab'y,
than any other two men in the State.
Mr. nallowell is one of the heaviest
building contractors in the west, and
Mr. Fitzgerald id the great railroad con
tra etflr.
TO TKAVELEKS.
To the many who, during the summer
months seek recreation and a short, pleas
ant respite from the arduous duties of a
close attention to business, we say come
to Plattsmouth. No healthier locality
can be found anywhere. The nights are
cool and breezy, the days balmy and
pleasant If you arc fond of shooting
or fishing you can have abundance of
port, and if you seek to combine busi
ness with pleasure and salt a few hun
dreds down where they will pay you
back ten fold, here is the place.
We have railroad connections with all
parts of the continent, east and west
north and south. The construction of
the Burlington and Missouri River Rail
way in Nebraska is opening up mines of
wealth for enterprising capitalists. New
towns are springing up into existence all
along the line, and the future of south
ern Nebraska looks most bright and
promising. From Chicago you can get
tickets through vui Burlington ; and
from St. Louis via the North Missouri
and Hannibal Si St Joe R. R., and then
by Council Bluffs & St Joe to Platts
mouth.
BI'ILD 1IOCSES.
Lt m hv n Inrgr block t one.
W e have constantly urged upon our
property holders the necessity of build
ing large busiuess house if they would be
ready ts accommodate the demand this
season, and we now find men enquiring
for first-class business houses when none
are to be had. As no individual appears
inclined to take hold of the building of a
large block, we now suggest that a Stock
Company be formed and a block of busi
ness and office rooms be erected. Some
one can put in a couple of lota, others
can put in brick, lumber, rock, hardware,
labor and those who arc so poor that
they have nothing else to put in can fur
nish the cadi. A Three story block, with
stores 0:1 the first floor, omees on the
second, and a fine hall on the third floor,
can be built which will return a .fine in
come to the stock holders. "Will the
property holders and others interested in
he prosperity of the city take hold of
this matter at once, or will they wait un
til the building season is over and then
wish they had commenced in time.
XCS3ASKA CITV ELECTIOX.
Republican '-ccorrter and City Conn,
ell Elected.
Dillan Elected becanwe Morton op
poftcd niin.
The city election came off in Nebraska
City yesterday, and resulted in the elec
tion of a Republican Recorder and three
Aldermen (all there was to be elected
this year.) Dillon was elected Mayor
because of Morton's opposition. Had
Morton only worked for the entire Dem
ocratic ticket he would have defeated all
of it and elected the entire Republican
ticket. What a blessing it would have
been had Morton otilj' favored Dillon's
election and thereby secured Rentier's
election. Morton's favor, politically, is
sure defeat Sterling is the worst played
out political hack in the country, and wc
now await his oft repeated threat to
burst the democratic party the moment
it ceased to serve his individual purposes.
We understand Sterling and Billy Mil
ler are about to stirt an "honest man's
party." They will suit exactly, for
Morton will want Biily to act as scullion
for him and Billy will be perfectly con
tented with his post of honor.
That .Serenade.
The St. Joe Herald says :
"Wc heardanother serenade the other
night. It was on this wise :
Lady, ope thy we-he-hindow,
And inpli-hi-hine thine ear,
Whiie the moon is be-he amine;.
Deign my lay to he he-ear, ic."
We doubt very much if the lle-he-Ilerald
man really heard that seren-a-ade
himself. We think he saw-aw-aw
it ia the pa-ha-hapcrs, as it has been go
ing the rounds of the pre-he hess for
several months, and he just chi-hi-hipped
it out Kansas-City Neics.

OUR WYCHSNG LETTER.
Aostaer Ind Ian Raid An Attack and
Rplr Cattle Killed and
Herder Jfiinf.
From our own Correspondent.
Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory,
April 29th, J
Editor Nebraska Herald. Plattsmouth. Neb.
Dear Sir : Our garrison was consul
erably excited this morning by the intel
ligence brought in by a citizen that the
Mail Station on the Chug, aliout half
way from this place to Cheyenne, was at
tacked yesterday afternoon by two par
ties of Indians one of 12; the other, of
S. They were repulsed without doing
any damage. They then proceed up the
Chug about four miles and attacted a
camp of Herders, killing several head of
cattle belonging to B. Mills, Esq. The
two herders in charge of the camp havo
not been heard from, and it is feared
they have been killed. The mounted
detachment, while out making observa
tions, saw several Inians just across the
Platte this morning. It seems that par
ties of these savages are hovering about
the Post, constantly "seeking whom they
may devour." Gen. Flint, commanding
the garrison, is wide awake-; and if Mr.
Lo comes within range of men looking
out for these marauders, they will feel
the virtue of lead. Several officers arc
now outon the Bluffs anxiously desiring
to get a night of the dastardly cowards
who shrink from a fair fight and skulk
along the roads awaiting weak parties
that may be travelling. Last week a
four mule team came down froir. Fort
Fctterman, bound for Cheyene for veg
etables. When they arrived at La
Bonta Hill they were attacted by Indi
ans but the escort understood their busi
ness, and the Indians concluded that re
treat was their ' est chance of safety.
The weather is delightful aud my garden
is coming on finely. By the first of July
I ehall have vegetables in abundance.

Tho Farmers of Seward.
From the Seward Atlas.
Four years ago the population of Ne
braska was widely scattered over an ex
tent of country, ranging over four hun
dred miles from east to west, and two
hundred front north to soulh. Now the
farmers of Nebraska till our soil from
the Missouri to Fort Kearney, and from
miles up the Elkhorn vallev to the State
line of Kansas in a continuous chain of
settlements, north and south, eat and
west, through the great valley of the
Platte, the equally productive tributary
valleys of the Shell Creek, Wood River,
the Great and Little Nemaha, the Big
and Little Blue, Big Sandy, Lincoln
Creek, r.nd others, of less note, where
wc find our sturdy farmers, intelligent,
industrious and thriving.
Within this period Seward county has
been settled with an intelligent fanning
community the bone and sinew of our
strength and the hope of our county.
They are the workers in mines of
wealth, as the results of their labors
have proved. We shall only be i.ble at
this time to offer a few words upon the
interests they reprc cnt, and the induce
ments which encourage them to asit
other counties in the work of building
up a great commouwelath.
The soil, everywhere throughout the
State, is tho richer the sun of heaven
ever shone upon, and no county in the
State has less waste land than the county
of Seward. The railroad project in Ne
braska, when completed will afford easy
access to the bc-t market, and the finan
cial embarrassments, consequent upon
the hard struggle to weather the storm,
the first years, the vain attempt or for
mer years to a remunerative sale for sur
plus products, are fast giving place to
the most encouraging and satisfactory
condition in a .pecuniary point, ami our
farmers thus cheered by liberal returns
fur their labor, are even now doing better
than almost any other branch of industry
in the country. They have markets in
the mountain region, and the immigra
tion they invite every year, gives us a
home maiket also, for every grain of
corn and every kernel of wheat, every
thing indeed that we produce finds a
ready sale.
Seward county and the Blue valley in
vites the farmer, by all the inducements
that encourage men to industry and labor.
There can be no question about this.
Almost every farmer who came here a
few years ago and had to struggle with
poverty day after day and month after
month, will now tell that to-day they are
enjoying plenty and independent homes.
e arc prou4 of this feature of our
prosperity. Ah houor to the farmers of
Seward, and if we have one purposo
nearer our heart than another, it is to
render ourselves useful to the great cause
of Agriculture in this portion of our
State.
Now is the time to ornament your lots,
side walks, and streets in front of your
premises, by planting shade and orna
mental trees. Nothing adds so much to
the beauty of a town as an abundance
of trees scattered alons every street. If
you should want to dispose of your house
and lot, no improvement would pay so
well as to adorn the premises with a good
puroJy of shade and ornamental trees.
y, to work then, dig out the dead shade
trees, and fill their places with live ones.
c ct out a tree here and there, wherever
you have space sufficient, and a few weeks
hence you can sit in quiet under the
shade of your own trees and rejoice.
Pointed Throat.
During the session of a certain court,
a merry-faced and bright-eyed Milesian
was arraigned for disorderly conduct.
The Jndge inquired very angrily, "If he
was not ashamed to be there ?'
"Pon me soul, I am, your honor."
"You are in very disreputable com
pany." "I know it, your honor."
"It is shameful."
"Too true," was the penitent re
joinder. "If I permit you to go this time, will
you ever be caught in such company
again?"'
"Not unless your honor send for
me!" was the meek reply.
The New York Mail says: "Had the
colored citizens of Connecticut voted on
Monday, they would probably have given
"another color" to the affair
The members of the Mississippi Leg
