It hurts our feelings to dun you, kind readers, as much as you can pos sibly be hurt by being dunned; but Wc must have money to keep this machine 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 inonev f(,V our little expenses, and ttartei our boy out with over Qi'JO of subscriptions to collect from, on which we got S")1.23 Now, this won't do. The Editor of this paper has a holy , horror of running hi debt, and will not if we have to reduce our force and our paper. It is only a small sum from 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 edness. - '. - 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 thm, that we may be strong and fear 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 ha. It is a good ways over and around 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. Lack of s!ace and absence a "portion of the time, have: hitherto prevented U3 from making any notice o'f the fact that ime of the cleverest, best looking -and best acting Hail road men the Boston or Burlington magnates of the Ii. & Jl. have ever chosen to send us, left for Chicago a few weeks ago. "We allude to "Mr. James It. Wood, formerly in the General Passenger Department at this point, and now Western Passenger and Land Agent, 1$. & 21. in Nebraska ; of fice, Chicago, 111. Mr. "Wood gained the respect and gooJ will of all our people while here, and we hope he may succeed to the highest honors railroading has in store for a man if that is the b?nt of his in clinations for the future, DEVON CATTLE. The fact that Mr. II. N. Orr removed I I L.J 7Cllb Vl ..l.- . r .. . -.

The object 6f removal is to have unrelated Crosses iK'tween the herd here and tbn ouc'jlt Cheyenne. Mr. Thomas who hits them in charge informs" us that next season he expects to have a finer Devrm herd than hist year and that they intend to make the raising of Devon stock irr Cass county ii permanent thing.' e are S1'1 16 Lear and knoxv these facts, as we don't want those Cheyenne Mlown to have ttri fl.nc twkr All Omaha was crazy over the great Allen-Ilogan mill, last week. . At the Grand Central people flocked in to see Jack Looney, Ilogan and Allen, eS they passed in and out with their frieiH'iS.- On Monday evening a tall, rather well built man, about the size of brofTlHr Arnold, up here, with coal black wh! s fcers and moustacho, came - in and Stepped up to the clerk's desk to regis ter. Homo one started the cry that it 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 struck bedlam. At last some one looked at the register and found he was only John Smith, parson; from going to cc'P ! fei eilcc". 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. "We have won so far over all this oppo sition, but cannot go on forever. Thanksi 'vs is c.'rninsF" Henry D.

THE GiREAT PRIZE FIGHT. allln Strikes foul on the third bound. The Ring Broken Up with Drawn RerolTers. All Bauds Scoot back to Omaha half Froze. 3Iatt Riley Decides the Battle Drawn. 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 Kd. 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. - , . Captain Joseph Fry, commander of the Virginius, was a native of Florida, 4C years of age, entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1844, re mained in the navy until 1361, when he resigned and entered the Confede rate service.
