It hurts our feelings to dun you,

going. In these hards times every
penny counts, and for the last three
weeks it has been hard work to raise
money to pay the running expenses of
the oilice. "We have had to borrow

The Editor of this paper has a holy ,
horror of running hi debt, and will not

each of our delinquents, but the :ggre-R-atc
is large to us and would enable its
to pay off all our most pressing indebt

We hope no one will either be sur
prised or angry, at receiving a little
postal card as a reminder that we must
live. We try to make you a good paper
and are lighting your battles daily for
the right. You will need your paper's
influence this winter more than ever
ifore. Give us a generous support

less. It tickled us to see Sir Knight John
It. Porter try to get his sabre back in
the sheath, the other evening, at Oma

in front of the Judge before you get
to where a sabre hangs, and as it is
many years since our friend Porter has
seen that far around and behind him,
it took some delicate fingering t get
that sabre in that sheath! that's all.

All Omaha was crazy over the great

Grand Central people flocked in to see

Stepped up to the clerk's desk to regis

was John 2Iorrissey, and the billiard
room was emptied in a moment, they
foUowed the poor chap up and down
and stared at him and commented on
him till he must have fancied lie had

looked at the register and found he was

THE MASONIC BALL AT 03IAIIA.
One of the grandest and pleasantest
times we have enjoyed lately was the
ball and reception at Omaha on the
evening of the 13th, tinder the auspices
of the Grand Chapter and Grand Com
mandery of the State of Nebraska
The Sir Knights Wore ieally pictur
esque uniforms. Col. Champion S.
Chase Marshaled the glorious Cavaliers
through the vast coliidors of the
Grand Central aiul into the spacious
dining rooni cleared for the ocoasion
when they opened ranks faced in
Wards, and all the greatest, biggest,
highest most profoundest Excellencies
of the Masonic Order in this State and
and those of the same rank attending
from other States, marched between
the ensabred hosts, each Knight with
his magnificent chapeau en dormant cA
his left shoulder-strap While he pres
ented his cold steel w-ith his right
gauntleted ' littiul and tiled to stand at
ease. Duiing .this performance the
doors of the, dining room and the win
dows looking therin were crowded
with eager and curious faces witness
ing this unique ceremony. The danc
ing shortly after commenced and Oma
ha's fairest daughters, resplendent in
silks, satins and diamonds, . outshone,
fairly outshone the Knights of the
Golden Cross, brilliant as their uni
forms were, and grandly as they were
caprisoned.
Among the notables present from
our own town were Sir Rights It. It.
Livingston, D. II. Wheeler, and J. W.
Marshal, and among the invited guests
Mrs." Wise and Livingston and Hon. T.
21. Marque' t.
Sir Knight D. II. Wheeler, as usual,
insisted on making every one happy
that he knew, and showering ril'bons
anil fiivdrj on his friends from all
parts. -
At the banquet the evening before
we noticed our townsmen 2Iessrs. F.
E. White, II. Newman, Geo. Smith, and
Jacob Vallery. The whole affair wa3
very enjoyable indeed and the writer
hereby tenders his thanks to the gen
tlemen of Mt. Cavalry Commander)'
No. 1, Omaha for their many favors
and kindness to a poor forlorn and
strange editor.
All 2Iasons in attendance outside
of Omaka were the guest of 2It. Cal
vary Commandery No. 1, and nioighty
foine hosts they make, too; may we
never fare worse.
ELECTIONS.
Almost every newspaper which we
pick up has something to say about the
fall elections, and it is very easy to tell
what the Editors' particular 'poison' is
by reading his comments.
At the risk of following suit, but
hopein; we may be able to trump
somebody's hand we now lay our cards
down. Ohio has been for a number of
years, a very uncertain state, with a
strong Democratic element therein
which is sure to turn up in force at the
least chance of success. The ltepul
licans have been strong enough for
several elections to carry most of their
ollicers, consequently they must quar
rel among themselves, and start new
issues, in short make two or three liar
ties or cliques in the state, over which
the united forces' of all those opposed
to the Kepublican party managed to
gain a very slight victory. They elect
ed one prominent ollicer (Govern
or) by a bare majority. If this is any
great comfort to cither Democrat or
Liberals, they are welcome to hug it to
their hearts. In the other State elec
tions the plain facts seems to show a
light vote generally, indifference of Re
publicans or a split in their ranks from
local causes. Republicans have stayed
at home because they thought their
party strong; it must win Any way, and
the opposition have worked the hardest
all over, and united more conflicting
elements by promising everything to
all men. We can see that right here in
our own county. Every one knows
the opposition did the most work
they moved heaven end eartli their
men were out ilay nnd n'glit:. They at
tempted to gather in the Grange ele
ment, pandered to the anti-monopoly
movement and tickled the town people
by talking of moving up here, &c Yet
they elected but one man and he had
to be a good one, and was elected on
his personal merits and scarcely on
partisan grounds at all. There has
been no positive Democratic gain in
any of the States that held elections,
so far as we can see, this fall. There
has been Repnblican dissatisfaction,
itepiiblican individual ambition, and
Republican folly enough to swamp any
party not so thoroughly grounded in
the hearts of the people as this one is,
and here is our lesson: unless we do
stop on? tw n bickerings, our own am
bitlcns, and our jealousies of each oth
er; v?e will most certainly wake up
some morning and find ourselves in a
helpless minority. We hope each and
every Republican will remember this
before another election comes around.
Wo have, toj many candidates, too
many aspirants, too many MTo who
only want to use the party for thnir :
own benefit, and when they can not do !
-that they are off on some side issue.

sition, but cannot go on forever.

SpccLil report for the Nebraska Herald.
Pl.TTSMOUTU, Nov. 19th, 1373.
Editor Nebraska Herald: The
writer of this arrived at Omaha a few
minutes before nine, on the. nloniihg
train. Here was concrreirated as mot
ley a crew as ever was gathered to
gether in Nebraska You could see
the bank clerk hobnobbing with the
monte-mensthe pivnlst with the psalm
singer, and Hie common va; rant
arm in aim with the good old class
leader in one of our first churches in
Omaha, all bent on one object, and that
to see the Allen and Hogan prize fight.
It was tho truth, which Shakspeare
wrote that vice and virtue often touch
each others garments in the street.
The train moved out from the de
pot with about seven hundred as well
dressed and orderly men as generally
attend such places arrived at Council
Bluffs the order wa given to
change cars to the K. C. St. Joe, It. Ii.
The first thing that greeted our sight
was two companies of U. S. Iowa Home
Guards soldiers stationed on the
platform, waiting to receive the crowd.
At length the train backed, and the
ropes and stakes for tha ring were put
on board, when the soldiers tried to
come on, but were met with the omin
ous words, ticket, or five dollars. The
officer who had charge of the soldiers
then made application for a special
train to the Superintendent of the road,
but he was ref used; on the ground that
there was one wild trahi on the road
now.and that was all he could take care
of at once. At length the word was
given, "All Aboard!'' when the train
moved out from the depot, the boys
shouting and poking fun at the soldiers
who were left behind.
Among the notable sporting men on
the train was Jack Looney, the king of
pugilits, from St. Louis, and who
keeps a benzine shop on the corner of
Sixth and Greene streets, and the chief
fugleman of Tom Allen; also Dan Al
len, Harry Wilds, Billy Diamond, Jack
Madden, Arthur Chambers, the cham
pion of light weights, and last the two
backers of Ben. Ilogan, Sherman Thurs
ton and Billy. Carroll, of Carroll's va
rieties, St. Louis:
About seven miles south of the
Bluffs we overtook .the Allen and Ho
gan party who were in carriages wait
ing for us. They had previously left
Omaha about 5 o'clock in the morning,
to avoid arrest. They were taken on
board and the train staited once more,
everybody happy with the expectation
that they, were to behold a firsl-ela.Sj
fight. About two miles north of Pa
cific Junction the train stopped, and
the ropes and stakes were taken oil and
the ring made on a nice, even sward,
about fifty feet from the track. An
hour or so was consumed putting up
the ring, then Jack Looney was called
for to see Billy Carroll, the backer of
Ilogan, to decide on a referee. Full
an hour was consumed in this way.
It was at length agreed that Matt Ri
ley was the man. As soon as he was
chosen he stepped in the ringindmade
a speech. He hoped the best man
would win, and at all hazards he would
give a fair decision. In a few mo
ments the burly form of Tom Allen
was seen approaching from a farm
house near by. He rlung his castor
into the ring amid loud applause, llis
colors were those of the Hag of St.
George. About half an hour was con
sumed in his stripping and getting
ready' for business, it was windy,
dusty and bitter cold at tho time; and
when h6 was pronounced ready,
there were loud huzzas given at his
fine physical condition. About this
time there were calls for Hogan, who
was yet dressing in the cars. In a few
moments he made his' appearance" and
shied his castor in the ring. This was
the signal for loud cheering. His col
ors were red white and .blue;
When time was ca'led; which was
thiriy-flre minutes past one o'clock;
they both stepped up" briskly to each
other and shook lia!iclv There was
that metalic smile about AUeti's 'l'ps
that indicated hate, and a desire to
punish his antagonist as hard as he
could. Allen looked the burly ruf
fian all over, but yet in good condition,
while Ben. Ilogan is a splendid speci
men of physical manhood, with the ex
ception of his (loins) which are rather
small in proportion to his chest ; yet
his gentlemanly, and Unassuming man
ners, woll him hosts of friends, as the
sequel will show. But for a descrip
tion of the fight:
As they stood up for the first round
both nien eyed each other closely.
Allen first led out with his right
duke, biit was neatly stopped by Ho
gan, who thn threw out his left maw
ley at Tom's jieeier, but it was no go.
They dance4 around the ring for O1
minutes, When Ben threw out left as a
femt; with that Tom" parried it when
jiogan gave him a swinging blow with
his right duke inler the ear, which
knocked him off h?s pins and sent hi3
to grass. Loitl cheering in Hogan's
corner general confidence established.
Allen was picked up by wond
and carried to his corner. When time'
was called, Allen, looked rather groggy.
But the -man who was staking him,
Jack Looney, whispered something in
his ear, and he came up meaning mis
chief for the second round. This wa-j
a hard round of the give and take style,
ding-dong right through. Hcgan got
Allen's head in chancerj-, biit finally
Allen broke away from him.- At this
stage of the fight, Allsn led out with
his left, but was stopped by Ben., when
j to the surprise of all, Allen let go with
right and struck him fair in the stom
ach, six inches below the belt, and with
his left mauley loaned him one in the
eye that sent him to grass. There was
wild excitement, and cries of foul, at
thte, and the referee cautioned Allen
to be more careful.
, When third round was called Ilogan
looked swollen around the face, and his
right eye was in deep mourning, but
yet he got first blood aud first knock
down iii hiJ favor. This third and last
round was the hardest fought of any.
It w;is give and take all through for
over seven minutes, when Allen struck
Ilogan below the belt orice more, and
in a moment the ropes were cut, twenty
revolvers were drawn in a second
men. rusued peil-mell into the ring
shouting swearing and shaking their
flsis in each others faces, talking in a
bhgue not spoken at Pentacost.
. Hogan wsis carried to his corner and
his face sponged off with the blood
upon it. It (his face) looked on one
side like a stuffed sausage; while Allen
did not have hardly a scratch. While i
this was" going there was a general hur
rah in the ring; revolvers were drawn
on the referee, half a dozen at a time;
but he never flinched. A small man, a
conductor on the Rock Island railroad,
went up to Allen and pulled out ten
one hundred dollar-bills to bet that he
couid lick him in a minute. A small
"rooster" left his fist on his nose, and
told him he was nothing but a big St.
Louis pimp. Even young Diamond, of
the Belle-Union Theatre, who. played
for his sparring exhibition, spit in his
face, and Called hiniad n dnifer.-
Tears came into Allen's eye.1, and he
said he did not have a bloody, blarsted
friend in the crowd, excepting Jack
Looney. One of the by-standers
rushed at Allen with clenched fist and
told him if he opened his mouth again
he would never leave the ring alive,
fur, said he: "when you first came to
Omaha every person was your friend,
but, by your blowing around you got
every person down on you ; and Worse
than ever, you Struck a person thirty
pounds liglitei, two foul blows, be
cause, you cowardly dog 3011 were
afraid you could not lick him any
other way."
At this, the referea ordered Allen
out of the ring to tho cars. In a few
moments Ilogan left also. Both pu
gilists sat down near each other. Ho
gan then jumped - up and told Allen
there and then that ho would fight him
for the stakes, or for fun, a rough and
tumble fight; but Allen positively de
clined the honor.
2Iy opinion .about the whole matter
is that if Hogan was well trained, and
was in good health, which he was not,
(tho court plasters that were on his
stomach and chest testified to that)
he could lick Allen in seven rounds; or,
in other words", he is a harder hitter,
and could knock Allen out of time.
Allen is getting Uaso very fast
Yours, Jenkins.
The referee finally decided it a drawn
fight

THE VIRGINIUS.
A letter from Havana gives an ac
coiint of the capture of the steamer
Virginius, from which it appears that
on the COth of October the Spanish
Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, advised
the Governor at .Santiago de Cuba that
the Virginius was hi the vicinity of
Morraut Bay. The Spanish Avar steam
er Tornado had that irior'ning arrived
at Santiago de Cuba, and, four hours
after the Governor had received infor
mation of tho Virginius, went in search
of her. On the following day the Tor
nado, under full sail and but little
steam, as some slight repairs were be
ing made to her machinery, came in
sight of the Virginius, which probably
supposed tho Tornado to be a sailing
vessel, as her course was not- changed.
On the Tornado every eifort was made
to hasten the repairs which they were
engaged in, and at 2 o'clock the chief
engineer pronounced them completed.
All possible steam was immediately
got up and the vessel headed for the
Virginius, soon reaching a speed of
fourteen knots, and slowly gaining
upon her. The Virginius had in the
meantime, kept on her course, but, di
vining the hostile intentions of the
Tornado, changed it toward J amaica,
and being out of coal commenced to
bum petroleum, grease, fat, aid other
combustibles from tkc provisions on
board, such as hams, etc. Night closed
in, and the vessels were in the same
relative positions, the Tornado, howev
er gaining. As soon as they got within
gilnshot the Tornado lired a gun, fol
lowed by three other shots and a shell.
This brought to the Virginius, and two
armed boats fr'orh the Tornado came
alongside, took possession of the vessel,
and male prisoners of all on board.
At the time of the capture the Vir
ginius was flying the American flag, but
this was pulled down by a Spanish offi
cer, and a Spanish ensign was hoisted
in its place, although the papers of the
vessel, duly dispatched for Colon, were
handed to him. After the capture, the
next two hours were employed in trans
ferring some of the prisoners to the
Tornado and putting a prize crew on
the Virginias.
Arrival at Santiago de cunx.
At midnight the two vessels started
for Santiago de Cuba and arrived there,
on tliJ following afternoon at 5 o'clock,
baring been joined ' bv the Spanish
steamer Cantabro. Upon'their arrival
in fort the intelligence spread like
lightning, and attracted an immense
crowd of people. The Government
Palace and other public buildings were
illmninitK'd. and nil thr authorities.
civil' ahd military! went to felicitate
Governor Harriet upon the news, who,
in the evening, gave a brilliant recep
tion. THE COURT MAKflAL.
On the following .day (fb'e 2d) a
court-martial was held on board Hie
Tornado, which Commenced at 4. All
the prisoners were tried as pirates, and
the findings of the court and the sen
tences were sentto the Captain Gener
al and the Admiral in sealed packets.
After the court had concluded its task,
all the prisoners, with the exception of
Benbetta, Jeans Del Sala, General Ry
an and Pedro Cespedes, were trans
ferred to ' the jail of the city, escorted
by a force of 100 volunteers and a num
ber of marines. General Burriet, it is
said, coolly asked that all the prison
ers should be turned ovct td him, with
the exception of the captain and crew,
who should be sent to Havana at the
disposal of the Commandant General
do 2Iarinats and declared within twenty-four
hours afterward that all should
be . -
TRIED AND EXECUTED,
in order to avoid any complication
with the exterior that- is, foreign in
tervention. He also detained a tele
gram which the United States Consul
had decided to forward - to the United
States Consul at Kingston, reporting
the capture, and inquiring as to the
nationality of the Virginias.
THE VIRGINIUS' PAPERS.
The Virginius had her papers in or
der, and was dispatched for Colon, all
of her passengers appearing on the pa
pers as laborers for a railway that is
building there. - -
On the 7th inst. the captain aiul
thirty-six of the crew of the steamer
Virginius were executed at Santiago
de Cuba, and on the next day, the 5th,
twelve more of the Cuban volunteers
on the vessel were shot, among whom
was Franchi Alfaro.
Amoug the crew, and disguised as
firemen, were Ignacio Alfaro, Bosa
Arce, Vareiia; Castillarios, Pired;'.,
2Iola, BoHeVand other person's of inl
T'ortaitfc. - , .

the Virginius, was a native of Florida,

Academy at Annapolis in 1844, re
mained in the navy until 1361, when
