I i : -':' i : 1 ' iii't- .It 1 t . ? lit !t i'! i Ml ,ii!s tATUOUTH KEBRAKSA., THURSDAY, DEC. 15, 1370. no. jot a. mm the ma ha a- h. w The Omaha Herald seems to ca,t a doubt on the truthfulness of ibc reported propositions of Mr. Joy to build he Trunk road to Plattsmouth, and sug gests that the report is circulated with a view to defeating the proposed aid to the Omaha & Southwestern. This n:ny be th object of the report, but we fail to see it altogether in that light, and it will certainly fail in its object if such should be the design, at least so far as Cass county is concerned. We advbe the people of Plattsmouth and Cass county to drop neither of these roads, but hang on to both and let us have both, if necessary. The Omaha &. Southwestern gentlemen need not be uneasy that we will abandon them, yet wc must be allowed to look after other lines of road at the same time. The (). & S. W. people have not yet made a definite proposition to our people, nei ther has Mr. Joy that is, he has not made a public proposition. Ix;t the Omaha & Southwestern men say just what they want and what they icill do, and it can be determined very shortly. let Mr. Joy do the same thing and our ptople will undoubtedly act with like promptness. We want the road (or roads), gentlemen, and we are not toy particular who builds it so that it is built speedily and well, and is operated with thoroughness after it is completed. If Mr. Joy will say definitely whst he wants and what he will do, our people are ready to respond promptly and, we believe, liberally and we doubt not that they will do the same with the O. & S. W. Dut the Herald need not fear that the people of Cass arc likely to be deceived by baseless rumors. We know a solid thing from a swindle. Your proposition, gentlemen. ItOBBURT AT SAINT HARXAHAS ciiincii. On Wednesday evening, about dusk, during the temporary absence of the lie v. Geo. C. Betts from the church, he having left the door unlocked, some sac rilegious rascal entered the building and carried off the comunion service. Upon the return of Mr. Betts to the church, in about ten minutes, he was astonished at finding the floor within the church littered wib the bread that had been euiptieb from the plate. Wine, from the cup, had also been scattered over the carpet. The service was the private property of Mr. Betts, an 1 was very highly prized by him on account of old associa tions. It is to be hoped the property will be recovered and the thief brought to jus tice Omaha Herald. 0th. Mr. Reynolds, writing to the Law rence Journal fromAtchison, states that the ro:td is completed to Troy, Doniphan Co., 16 miles, and has formed a junction with the St. J. Si Denver 11 , and is be ing pushed with great vigor to the State Line. The grading is done, the iron on the ground, and the iron being rapidly laid, and should the weather be favora ble, will bo completed to the Xtb line in Jan. From there a Neb. City Co., endowed with State lands and county I ends, build to Neb. City, and thence the O. Si S. W. Co., similarly endowed, build to Omaha. Mr. Joy will take the franchises of those companies, and build to Omaha within IS months. With the link from Atchison to Law rence, via Oskaloosa, completed, Mr, Joy has a splendid through route to the (lulf (ultimately) from Omaha, passing the terminal points ot the following roads to the Pacific: Bur. Si Mo. Iliv.. Neb. Cy. fc Lincoln 11., Urownville & Nemaha Val. II.. St. Jo. Si Denver R... Centril Branch Pac. 11., crossing the Kan. l'ac at Lawrence, and crossing the Mo., K. Si T. at New Chicago. The old Ij. I, Si J, lload will then become the Omaha Si Gulf Road, by the way of Atchison & Lawrence. Ir.e entire line can be completed within three years, about 1,000 miles in length, Mr. Joy is completing arrangements for a transfer boat at Atchison, to carry freight and passenger cars without change and without breaking bulk in freight. A hundred men are grading and laying track to the river. Railway Revieto. Beware t Artificial leather is about to be thrust upon the market.

The omnibus and street car companies in New York city have found that a iorse weighing 1,000 or 1,100 pounds is the most serviceable, and the best food for him is 12 pounds of hay a day, 15 pounds corn meal, and two or three pounds of salt in a month. The hay is cut, moistened, and the meal mixed with it. Twenty miles trawl a day is expected of him. A irestern paper says, "A good deal of the consolation offered in the world" is about as solacing as the assurance of the man to his wife when she fell into the river: You'll find ground at the bot tom, my dear."

Your Very Obedient Servant, J. B. J. Rvan RA1I, ROAD MONOPOLY. The Cass County Commissioners had an iron safe shiped from Cincinnati, Ohio, via Indianapolis, Quiney and St. Joe, to Pacific Junction. The weight of thchafeis 10,500 pounds; the char ges over the railroads to Pacific Junction were $09 75. The distance is about one thousand miles ; the charges about 10 cents per mile. At Pacific Junction the B. Si M. R. R, Co. took charge af the car on which it was shipped and brought it to Platts mouth, a distance of f mil'?s, for which they charged $')') 75, or, at the rate of $5 12cts. per ini!e. The B. Si M. charges $12 uO per car load from Pacific Junction to the river, but the safe only made half a car load ; consequently they charge Cass county by the 100 pounds, at the rate of 15 cents per 100 pounds ; making the charges to the river $15 55 or, $3 75 more than if the car had two such safes on board. Had the other roads charged the same rates that the B. Si M. did the cost of shipping the safe to Pacific Junction would have been $5,125 00, or more thau thre times the value of the safe. How is that for high on the part of the B. Si M. after Cass county giving them three hundred thousand dollars in '"Bonds?" The passenger rate;? of the B. Si M. from Plattsmouth to Pacific Junction, and from the Junction ro Plattsmouth are about as exhoibitant 90 cents for 6 miles, or 15 cents per mile. John Black. The above was handed us this morn ing by Jacob Vallery, Jr., one of the count' commissioners, with a request to publish. There ij no doubt that the charges from Pacific Junction to Platts mouth is higher than it should be, tbcughwe arc .sorry to notice a tJisposi tion on the part of our correspondent to make the whole thing appear to great disadvantage of the B. & M. R. R. Co. regardless to the facts in the case. It is well known by every merchant who has had freight brought over the B. Si M. R. R. that rates are no higher over this road than any other Western road that they arc exactly the same over the B. Si M. to this point as over the Northwest ern and Rock Island to Omaha and Council Bluffs. This, we believe the writer of the above knows to be a fact. He states that the rates to the Junction averaged ten cents a mile. The rates over the B. Si M. and C. B. Sc Q. from Chicago to Plattsmouth are a little Jess than ten cents a mile. The aggregate from Cincinnati to the Junction is stated at $99 75 for the safe, which, according to the figures of the Dr., would amount to $199 50 for a car over the same route. The regular rates of the B. & M. from Chicago to this jJace is only $100 00 a car, or about one half that from Ciii cinnati, according to tho figures of the Dr. We only cite these facts to show that the rates of the B. Si M. Co. are notexhorbitant, as stated by the Dr., when compared with other roads. We are also informed by the agent here that he has never heard a word of complaint against the charges of the company by auy other man in Plattsmouth than the author of the above. It is a well established- principle on all railroads not only oa railroads, but Ja all branches of business that rates for short distances are very much higher proportionately than they arc ovcf the same lihes for long distances. We behove Dr. rJIack charges $2 00 for a single visit to a pa tient in the city. Suppo-e he repeated his visits, or made different ones to dif ferent patients, as cficn as he might for a day; what would be the result? He j ,1 1 , ? , 1 A 1 Afi wouiu prooaoiy nave earneai cv. or perhaps more during the da. Kvry body would say that was "exhorbitant;" but they would not think that the $2 00 for a single viVit was "exhorbitant." So with railroad, should they charge in the same proportion for long distances as they do for shorter ones, it would be "exhorbitant." Upon one thing, how ever, the Dr. is either ignorant of the fact3orhe purposely misrepresents we assume, of course, that he i ignorant of the facts. He says the B. Si M. Co. brought the safe from the Junction to PI a t ts ni n r t h. a distance of six miles for which they charged $30.75, at the rate of $5.12 per mile. Now. the Ir. should know (we prc.SUUlC he does not) that $15.00 of this charge was for transferrins the safe and case across the river, which is not done by the railroad company, but by the transfer company, which is a sepcrate and distinct one that regulates its own organization, prices, and is entirely independent .of the railroad company. The Pr. makes the same mistake in his closing paragraph. lie also makes another mistake in placing the distance at six miles. It is .six miles from the Junction to the railroad land ing, which is about two and a half miles from the city. The railroad company only charge forty cents for passengers for six miles, instead of ninety cents, be ing only about six and one-half cents per mile, instead of fifteen cents. We are no apologist for monopolies of any kind, and especially railroad monopolies, but we fail to see wherein the lr. ex pects to benefit our city by creating the impression that the only direct line of railroad wo have is a swindling concern, and is charging rates far above those charged by other roads. We are ready to do all in our power to secure lower rates of freight and passenger tariff, but we are not willing that it should be pub lished to the world, without contradic tion, that a man cannot come to our city or get freights here without paying "exhorbitant" prices, when it is a well established fact that th rates t this city are as low as to Omaha and Council Bluffs, where there are four competing lines. The railroad did charge for the safe, from Pacific Junction to the east side of the river, at their local rates by the 100 pounds. The a tent here, Mr. Riordan, who, by the way, is a perfect gentleman, and a thorough and accom modating business man had no authority to take it in any other way. The rates of the company, hy which agents are bound, may be at fault in this matter, as we believe they arc ; but this is an isolated case, anl probably on no other article of freight would the same awkward tariff apply at least no other article has ever been found during the year the road has been in operation here. We hope the General freight Agon will see that tariff rates on "safes" are revised as soon as possible. HINTS Ti FAR.1IEI1M. BY THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR. From the Cincinnati Times. Now that the winter is approaching, it would probably be as well to discontinue haying, and turn your attention to get ting in j-our fall saw-logs. No farmer can consider his fall work complete un til he has his cellar well supplied with saw logs. Seated around the blazing hearth of a winter's night there is no fruit more delicious. A correspondent asks us what we think of late plowing. Plowing should not be continued later than ten or eleven o'clock at night. It gets the horse in the habit of staying out lute, and unduly exposes the plow. We have known plows to acquire spring-halt and iflammatory rheumatism from late plowing. Don't do it. To another correspondent who wants us to suggest a good drain on a farm, we would say a heavy mortgage at ton per cent, will drain it about as rapidly as anything we know. When you make cider select nothing but the soundest turnips, chopping them into sled lengths before cradling them. In boiling yonr cider use plenty of ice, and when boiled hang up in the sun to dry. A pick ax should never be used in picking apples. It has a tendency to break down the vines and damage the hiv. In sowing your winter apple-jack a horse rake wUl be found preferable to a step-ladder. Step-ladders are liable to freeze up, and are hardly palatable unless boiled with sugar. In cutting down hemlock trees for canning, select only the largest. Don't throw away the chips, as they make fine parlor ornaments, encased in rustic frames of salt and vinegar. The coming cold weather should suggest to the humane farmer the ne cestity for a good cow-shed. The fol lowing is a receipt for making a good cow-shed : Pour a pailfull of boilintr hot water on her back, an l it that don t make a good cow-shed her hair we arc no prophet, to anybody. Now is the time for planting your winter hay. The pink-eyed Southdown is probably the best variety, as it don't need poling and begins to lay early. How to Make n Town. Encourage every one, especially new men, to come and settle amongyou, par ticularly those who are worthy and active, whether they have capital or not. Their labor alone is worth money. Those who have capital will buy lots, build houses, or tear out and remodel old ones, Go to work and stimulate every legitimate en terprise by giving it all the encourage ment jou can, or by uniting your industry, influence and capital in the cause. C'jhltivate a public spirit, and talk less than you work. Help your neighbor. If he is in danger of break ing down, prop him up in some wa.v, either by kind words, good counsel, or a little from jour pocket book. If he gets fairly down before you know his sit uation, set 1iim on his feet again his misfortune is to be pitied, not blamed and hi3 talents and labor are worth mon ey to the community. Besides it may some day be your turn to need a corrcs- fonding sympathy. Encourage your ocal authorities in making public im provements for the good of the town. The Chinamen are to be prevented from trout fishing in California. The noVnsedfby them is so perfect that when they cease fishing iu a stream there arc. 110 fish left. )HoBATE NOTICE. Whereas.
