THE EXTENSION OF THE BONDS
AS there seems to bef some misunder
.tinss about the laid call of the
"'unty Commissioners, to extend the
l--nds of the trunk and V. W. Hail
i o;uls, the IIekald, without g ing any
advice in the matter, but solely for in
t ovtcaxion, wilfstate the facts.
"When tlie bonds were voted two
i c-lis ago now. times were very differ
i it. Hailroad building was easy, bonds
-vere readily saleable in New York or
Boston. We could not altogether fore
see th hard times that have overtaken
us. The voters, that voted for the bonds
then, certainly wanti-i these loads
.aid were willing to give the bonds to
get them built. Owiht? to the great
rhauge in money matters' In '74, these
roads could not be. of were not built.
Xow many of the saine person, vlio
i hen wanted the ltiafltV, have petitioned
:he Commissioners' to call an election
o extend the time, so that new parties

new bonds are asked for, no new pro
position Lrtb be voted on. Tht Com
yrAnrnmidYS only performed their duty,
rfM'it simply remains for the people to
perforin what they deem' their duty.
If the majority of the voters of Cass
County do not wish to give the new
companies a chance to build the road,
they will be voted down; and if a ma
jority want railroads bad enough, the
extension will be granted. There's all
there is of it.
We shall only state further, that
there is no doubt now but that Mr.
Fitzgerald, and others interested, aie
in dead earnest this time and if the ex
tension is granted, the roads will be
built. See letter's el": where on both

CO.YSTIT I TION A L CONVENT! tN
HALL.
Lincoln, June 9th. 1873.
I arrived here Monday aud found
the Con. Cons hard at work. I am bet
ter pleased with the body since I came
here; they are a hard working lot of
men and, I really believe, are doing
their best to make a good Constitution.
I do not say I will vote for the doc
ument they put forth, nor that the
IIekald will support the same as a
good Constitution for the State of Ne
braska, but I do think much damage
and misconstruction has come from
publishing the reports of the commit
tees and commenting on them as if
they were the final work of the Con
vention. These reports are very much
cut down and often entirely changed
l)efore adoption. It costs the State too
much to hold a Constitutional Conven
tion for the newspapers to be able to
afford to prejudice the people before
hand against the work of this body.
THE IIEP.ALD
Therefore proposes to wait until the
work is completed and presented to the
people, and then we shall form our
judgment and decide whether it is a
good work or not.
The report of the legislative com
mittee, HON. GEO. SMITH,
Chairman, passed yesterday wi-tti )ess
cutting and alteration than almost any
other Section adopted.
THIS MORNING
a huge fight came up over the follow
ing article on the election of U. S. Seiir
ator, introduced by Jim Doom:
"Th Legislature may provide that at the
general election immediately preceding the ex
piration of the term of a United State Senator
iroin this SUite, the electors may, by ballot, ex
preH their preference for some person for the
office of 1. S. Senator. The. votes east for such
candidates shall be canvassed and returned in
the sane manner as for State ofiicers.''
In a hurry and without proper con
sideration, the convention a lopted this
in Committee of the Whole, but when
it came up this morning they walked
into Jim" and his pet and slaughtered
it right and left.
They think now they will close their
endeavors here early next week; the
talk is that they will adjourn on
Friday in order to give the Engrossing
Clerk time to get all the bills in order,
and then by meeting on Tuesday they
van close the business by Wednesday.

BONDS EXTENSION.
"Ed. Herald: As we are about to
Vote on the extension of our R. H. bonds
and I tind a very strong disposition
abroad to vote against the extension, I
beg leave to say a few words through
the IIekald in favor of extending our
chance for a .few railroads.
It is urged that it will increase our
taxation exorbitantly. We did not
think so when we voted the. bond. two
years ago, or at leas( we thought we
should receive lenents enough, to com
pensate for that. I think we shall
still. It iti .Hot -the levy to pay our
bonds, that increases our taxation so
much; it is the expense o our public
officials and our own local improve
ments, that we demand of our city
and county officials, that increases our
'taxes. I think it can be shown that
these roads, if built, will return in tax
able property nearly, if not quite as
much, as the county will pay out in
taxes. Take the Trunk as an example.
The bonds voted were SI 30,000; the
interest would be $13,000 per year.
Xow 23 miles of road at $12,000 per
wile, (the valuation on road beds last
yaarj would be $300,000, and the tax
on that alone at 30 mills, the average
lounty tax, would be $0,000. Besides
this, at least three handsome villages
would grow up on the line of the road,
that in all prolability would have
about $100,000 to $150,000 of a tax roll
before 18 months, and they would, no
doubt, bring a great deal of new taxa
ble property into the count'. The same
may be said of the W. W, road.
More than this, as I ama31y afraid
the grasshoppers will injure the whole
county a great deal, as they have al
ready in the southern part of the coun
ty, and I feel that we may have lo-sup-lort
some of our people acrain next
winter, the very best thing we coukl
do in our self-interest, to aid our coun
ty, would be to vote the extension and
thus secure the grading and work this
fall for our working men who are
grasshoppcrfd. If Mr. Fitzgerald, or
uriT other man. has the means to build
tli.read .now, in these hard times, for
Heaven's sake do let us have him build
it, All the money for grading and tie
ing will be spent right lere in the
county. I lieve it would, in view of
the pr"osiects of a general grasshopper
raid, be the very best thing we could
lo, to vote to-set tfcis'work going.
THE INDIANS;
lieu condensated fog, speckled-lloU-
dan narrative, little dog, big dog, poor
wolf aud fat wolf, have all left Wash
ington and no treaty yet negotiated
Nebraska. One more farce ended. Ndw
Uncle Sam, please wake up to the im
portance of this Indian question, (live
lis a rest on the feasting, and gabbling,
and present making, and send. some
white man out to the Indian country,
to order the Indians to obey the laws
and government of the United States.
There's all there is of it.
ON THE EXTENSION OF BONDS
Editor of Herald: I see by your
paier that we are called on to vote for
an extension of the bonds to the Trunk
& W. W, railroads. I am opposed to
the extension and the expense of an
election. When we voted these ltomls
wo expected the roads to be built at
once, they were promised to be built,
we have been fooled for two years, I
am opiosed to any more fooling. In
our present condition we cannot bear
any additional burdens and I for one
feel that just one ounce more will
break our backs. I make no doubt
that the commissioners thought they
were doing their duty, but I opine the
people feel otherwise and your exten
sion will be voted down. Yours &c.

NEBRASKA. STATE XEBICAL SOCI
ETY. The seventh annual i&eeting e-f this
Society took place in this City on Tues
day the 1st inst. The gathering was
not as large as usual, owing t various
causes among which were the meeting
of kindred bodies in other States, which
some of our Medical fraters attended.
We noticed, and were happy to Keet
Drs. Tilden, of Omaha, Van Buren,
of Fremont, Carter & Robbins, of Lin
coln, Bowen, of Nebraska City, and
many others whose genial faces do one
good to see occasionally.
The meeting toook place in the Court
House, and was called to order by the
President, Dr. John Black, of this city,
when after a brief welcome from the
.Committee of Arrangements, the roll
was called, and present and absent no
ted. The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved, and several visiting
physicians were introduced and invited
to seats with the society.
The various standing committees
then reported, and the reports were or
dered spread upon the minutes.
The sections were then called in
their order, consisting of :
Section on Practical Medicine inclu
ive of Medical Pathology and special
Therapeutics.
SjtiOR en surgery inclusive of sur
gical pathology, operative surgery and
surgical Therapeutics.
Section oa Obstetrics inclusive of
diseases of women.
Section on Materia JSedica and gen
eral therapeutics.
Section on Anatomy and Physiology.
Section on Forensic Medicine and
Toxicology.
The Section on Practical Medicine
presented some very interesting cases,
among -which we noticed iarticlarly
those of Drs. Tilden, nd Moore, of
Omaha. Dr. T's case -e-f cerebro-spi-nal-raeningitis
were specitriiy interest

noted the varying symptoms, and re

I propose to give the readers of your
paper a short sketch of a recent trip to
Fitzgerald's stock farm, near Green
wood. A lively turnout took charge
of Mr. Fitzgerald and myself, and we
were soon on our way with little less
sieed than the Iron horse. About 3
miles out of town we stopped at a farm
house to let a Yery welcome Visitor (a
eitower) pass. Then on - We went
through splashing mud. Reaching the
summit of a little slope we were in full
View of the farm. I gazed in admira
tion and "like Moses viewed the land
scape o er. A grand outline of Cotton
wood timber, with cross lines of the
same, dividing the whole into farms of
160 acres, finely arranged groves and
buildings . formed a grand sight. The
delicate green of the trees contrasted
with the darker shades m the different
varieties of grain and newly planted
corn ; each variety filling each 100. We
soon reached the entrance lane, the
timber had just been plowed, not a
weed to be seen, and was trimmed up
C or 8 feet high. I asked Mr. Fitzger
ald how long it had been planted and
in what way, he said four years and
from cuttings about 8 or 10 inches long
stuck in the ground. I saw from the
rapid growth that this was not the first
cultivation this young field had receiv
ed. The different fields were in as good
condition as plow and harrow could
make them. We now passed the re
mains of what was a few days ago a
good farm house, but now only
a mass of ashes and cinders; af
ter showing his foreman and fam
ily the design for a new house,
that will be an ornament to the already
beautiful farm, we came to the barn.
Here is what I come to see, the Short
Horn Cuttle, the barn only contained
4 bulls, the rest being in the different
pastures, they were a dark red color.
good size, deep chest, and straight as a
Une on the back ; in fact all were mod
el animals. Now to the pastures, the
calves were in a 50 acre lot and fine
thoroughbreds they were, from 4 to C
moYitbs old. The sight would py any
lover of fine stock to go to the Green
wood Farm to see all stamped with
the same features, that will soon make
this a celebrated herd. I was impatient
to see the dams of this fine) group of
calves, passing through the Iwrse pas
ture, which had a fine growth of native
grass, cultivated with a heavy harrow
early in the spring, the cows come next;
we were soon surrounded by the finest
group of thoroughbreds I ever saw, the
beauty -of tfeA calves were not borrow
ed, they had it by birthright. These
pastures contains about 300 acres all
fenced with boards all opening in a
general thoroughfare or shaded lane,
which leads to the barn yards, where
there is a large tank of pure cold water
supplied from a well 85 feet deep, and
forced there by a "Stover Wind Mill,"
which is ever doing its duty in storm
OT gentle wind. This Mill is a new
pa tent, put up by Thomas & Son's of
Pla'tts'niouth. The fences are all of
boards and have the posts sawed off
and capped, giving all an appearance
of neatness seldom seen on farms, and
while on this subject, neAtness, let me
say we have become so acenstomed to
being styled the banner cennty that if
we are not watchful we will lose the
laurels. We once had to fence 'oftr
farms, now the herd law is in force
and most of our farms are defaced
by decayed posts, pannels of fences &c,
and while we have the right of the
herd law we do not take posession of it
only part of the year, allowing stock,
and especially colts the worst enemy
of trees, to ran at large, and what lit
tle there is ornamental about our
homes is fast bfing destroyed. Nice
evergreens are unsightly, stubs, and so
with the whole catalogue of shrubs and
fruit trees. It is not wealth alone that
makes the farm attractive, it is neat
ness order and thrift. A cultivation
of the higher tastes, a study to assist
nature in beautifyingour homes, she is
ever bountiful in her gifts and while
it is necessary to attend to crops and
stock first and make it the first aim we
rveed net cramp and dwarf our taste for
tire beautff&l, ami I hopo every farm
er in Cass-couEty will feel as I do. will
be determined to pu.l all those useless
posts out and take all those craggy fen
ces down, plow .and cultivate the
ground well this summer so as to get
the ground in a healthy condition and
next spring as soon as our small grain
Is sown prepare cotton wood cuttings
carefully, put them in and cultivate
and keep them clean, also to improve
our stock. Our lands will soon be too
valuable to keep scrubs on, and if jtou
can't visit this stock farm, be sure to
be at our Cass County Fair next Sep
tember, where I hope to see the "Green
wood Herd," and should some Cass
county short horns win the first ribbon
when competing with tkis herd, select
f rom tw'O of the best herds in Kentucky,
we would have good reason to feel
proud of that strip of silk. Eet us all
begin roVv, ach ad very onestriving
to excel and be determined to make
our next Fair a success.

this fell destroyer. From the Dr's re
marks we inclined to the belief that
he relied more on fi'ee purgation for re
covery, than on any other means, and
he apparently fa voi'rid oleum Crotonics.
The reading of these papers produced
a very interesting discussion, calling
forth remark, and Courteous criticisms
from many of the gentlemen present.
Other papers were presented and read
and much interest manifested in the
discussion.
The section in sllrgery presented
elaborate papers in various branches
of this art, one especially from Dr.
Moore, of Omaha, which attracted
considerable attention-, end led to the
appointment of a coiriinittee or section
on Otology and Ophthalmology.
The Section on Obstetrics presented
an able and most interesting report
through Dr. Bowen, of Nebraska City,
and much discussion ensued, but we
were most favorably impressed with
the courteous and forbearing spirit in
which the assembled physicians spoke
of each other's cases, and special modes
of treatment. In this section the ques
tion of blood letting in puerpural
convulsions was thoroughly ventilated
and a most laudable interest manifest
ed by all present.
On Tuesday evening the Sawbones
were entertained at the resilience of
Dr. Black, their President, where we
met many of the pioneers of the pro
fession, besides a host of beauty and
wit from our city. We shall forever
class that evening as one of the most
delightful we ever spent in Nebraska.
The brilliantly lighted and luxuriously
furnished chambers of Dr. Black's ca
pacious mansion were thrown open, and
while abundance of everything which
cheers the inner man rendered all vivac
ious, the sparkling eyes and flushed
cheek of beauty, lent its enchantment
to the scene. Right here we must say
that we would like to have the Dr. en
tertain his brothers professionals once
a week, and invite us every time, for
we never enjoyed a more thoroughly
enjoyable evening in a manifold ex
perience. Early on Wednesday morning, 7 a.
the society was again in session, and a
large amount of business was dispatch
ed. An elaborate and most valuable
report on Climatology and diseaafs of
Nebraska, furnished by Dr. James II.
Peabody, now at Stockton. Cal. was
read by Dr. Livingston, together with a
letter from Dr. P. regretting his ina
bility to be present, and expressing his
wishes for a full and interesting meet
ing. This reiort elicited many valua
ble remarks from the memlers present
corroborative of the statements in
the paper. We would like to. publish
the report entire, but space forbids. It
contains tables of temperature hu
midity of atmosphere force and di
rections of winds, besides topographi
cal and geological descriptions, and nu
merous statistics showingthe prevalant
diseases of Nebraska the death rate
per 1,000 from each disease, and com
parisons of these rates with those of
all other States, and many portions of
Europe. What gratified us most in list
ening to this excellent paper was the
fact that Nebraska stood head and
shoulders above most of the States in
salubrity of climate and her death rate.
We feel as though we had got a new
lease in life since hearing it, and our
expectations are great.
At the last year's meeting a com
mittte had been appointed to investi
gate the hygienic condition of our
schools, and owing to the failure on
the part of some of the committeemen
to furnish to their quota of informa
tion this committeee was continued. We
sincerely hope the gentlemen who are
appointed on this important committee
will report next year, as we look upon
small, iVr-ventilated and crowded school
rooms, as the hot beds of disease
among oar children, and we. shall look
for the report with much interest.
The officers elect for the ensuing year
are President, Dr. L. II. Robbins, of
Lincoln.

of Fremont.
Recording Secretary, Dr. F. G. Fuller,
of Lincoln.
Corresponding Secretary, Dr. It. It.
Livingston, of Plattsmouth.
Treasurer, Dr. A. Bowen, of Nebras
ka City.
The standing committees on sections
and special committee were all filled.
but we failed to get a complete list of
them.
The retiring President, Dr. John
Black, of this city, delivered one of the
finest addresses, it was ever our good
fortune to listen to, and he was more
than onca interrupted by apjlause.
His closing remarks, referring to his
own advanced years, and life long la
bors. in mitigating the sufferings of his
fellow beings moistened some of the
eyes preseut. We cannot give the Dr's.
remarks, but assure those who were
not present that they lost a treat, and
although they will get the address in
the published proceedings by and by,
the manner of delivery will not be
there.
The society tendered thanks to the re
tiring President, for the courteous and
dignified manner in which ho presid
ed, and especially for the splendid en
tertainment furnished on the previous
evening.
Thanks were also tendered to Dr.
Peabody for his fine report on "clima
tology" and to the railroads for cour
tesies and reduced fares.
The next annual meeting will be at
Lincoln, on the first Tuesday of next
June.
