A pair of stolen mules were found
at Olive's ranche near Plum Creek.
Maybe we don't know anything
about law, but we can't sea what this
State wants of nine Judicial districts
at this juncture.
The latest ruininz excitement is at
Leadville. Colorado, towards which
one hundred and fifty people are said
to be journeying daily.
The special committee of the State
Board of Agriculture have decided by a
rote of four to three to locate the next
State Fair at Lincoln.

give 'em fit3 for not working better.
Look out boys at Lincoln, "there's
chiel amang ye takin' notes" now.
Nebraska City should have an eye
on Plattsmouth and Nemaha City.
Both these small towns, to-day aro
greater rivals than either Lincoln or
Omaha. Press.
What ails you now, we d like to
know?
The English have had au engage
meat with the native Zulus of South
Africa and much to their surprise
have been badly defeated, losing six or
seven hundred lives. They propose to
shut the barn door after the horse is
stolen by sending enough troops now
to end the war.
Senator Tefft, of Casa, is not as
liandsomo a man as some of the rest of
us, but he has an abundance of good
sense which is somrwhat more char
acteristic. He is one of tho working
members and attends strictly to his
duty. He i3 a member of the com
mittee now investigating our friend
McBride. Cor. O. Herald.
I regard a young girl of thirteen or
fourteen," said the principal of a Cin
cinnati school, while on tho witness
stand last week, "as one of the most
dangerous pieces of mischief a man
can come in contact with, her mind i3
so apt to be full of bad thoughts and
evil purposes."
We are afraid that might be echoed
with asigh, right in our midst.
. The attention of our readers is called
to the adv't in another column of Dr.
T. A. Slocum of 181 Tearl st.. New
York, who claims to manufacture the
only sure cure for that dreadful dis
ease, consumption. The Doctor's con
fidence in his remedy is so great that
he sends a bottle of each of his
celebrated preparations freo to all suf
fering applicants who write for thera.
This is certainlv a very liberal offer.
Another foul murder in Nebraska,
this time near Hastings. A man nam
ed Stntzman, a peaceful quiet home
steader was shot by one John Brown
alias Me Kirov, and left dead in his
cabin. Brown taking his mules and
escaping. Ho was afterward captur

Prohibition.
Lincoln, Feb'y 12. 1879
The late prohibition bill came up for
final passage on Thursday last. At
ten minutes past 3 the speaker called
for tbe special order by which the bill
was to be brought up. From that
time until six o'clock it was discussed
pro and con. The speeches with few
exceptions were the weakest it has ev
er been our lot to hear on a great ques
tion. Mr. Follock, of Brownville,
made the most sensible remarks for
the bill; and Capt. Mitchell, of Ote,
and Mr. Gibson, of Oai iha, the most
- A! A A t , ...
pcrunenb on me oilier siue. It was
mostly Umperance lecture on one side,
and denunciation and assertion on the
other. At six o'clock the rote was
called and stood 39 to 40. It would re
quire 43 to pass the bill. It was con
sequently lost.
A day or two after Hon. Church
Howe introduced a high license bill in
the Senate, and it has been reported
on favorably by the committee which
it was referred and in Committee of
the Whole. It twits license at $500 and
larger amounts in the cities ; provides
for damages, &c, also that any person
interested, as employers or otherwise,
may inform and require a saloon keep
er not to furnish such a person anyliq
uor. It is in the main a good bill, but
does not quite meet our objection to
the present system, in that it leaves
tome portions of its provisions open to
a vote or to be influenced by the opin
ion of the official, thus leaving the
temptation to drag It into local elec
tions to gain an advantage on one side
or the other.
The Capitol bill is very close, in the
Senate, but its friends say it will
pass finally. The Reform School bill
has been reported favorably on by both
committees, and will undoubtedly
pass.
The Journal speaks very favorably
or Air. fetone and Mr. Windham, of
Cass, as Legislators. We donot agree
with its "legislative netes" man on
Col. arren, of Dakota; may be he
don't know him very well.
The medical bill dees not seem to
take very well ; it was postponed.
Have to educate us a little more,
Messrs Doctors.
Gen. Stone tried to get the Senate
to speak its official mind on the Hayes
New York appointments but it was
"no go"; they postponed.
The University Investigation is not
concluded, that is, the results are not
known. The McBride investigation is
closed and the report ordered printed
and that's about all that will be done,
too. The tax-payers footing the fee
bill and the printing account. Go it.
boys, the democrats like to see you pile
up expenres, it tells "agin" the party.

The second case in the State, it is
said, of imprisonment for debt, came

Samuel J. Tilden and nephew Pel
ton have both been on the stand the
past week in regard to the Cipher dis
patches, and the general opinion is j for
that they gave away the Democrat par
ty badly. One tried not to remember
and the other "didn't know" but the
impression left on nil honest men's
minds was that they tried between
them to buy the presidency of the U.
S. and only failed because the Republi
cans had it not for sale.

The Herald has certainly felt
kindly towards the revision committee
personally, we believe they have work
ed faithfully, conscientiously, andyet
we begin to doubt if the state ought
to accept this revision without more
careful consideration than can be giv
en during a legislative term. It is full
of new legislation, radical changes not
contemplated by the legislators who
created me commission, it is an un
known quantity we are taking to our
bosoms and warming to life and power,
It is not the committees' work alone
but in addition to their radical changes
the matter is tinkered and altered
every time it goes through the hands
of either body in the legislature.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Taxes.
Mr. Poppleton has written a letter
it seems, on taxes. Dr. Black of Cass
answers it. Barring the Doctors' tirade
against Repablican County Treasur
ers which had no place in the question
at all, he tells some truths. At a social
meeting in Speaker Mathewson's room
the other day at Lincoln this question
came up and the declaration was made
by several parties,) democrats and re
publicans) that the present system of
assessment and collection of taxes
would bankrupt the State and every
City in it if continued long enough.
We have urged this ever and over and
yet it seems there is not a man with
brains and courage enough in this, or
preceding Legislatures, to tackle this
evil, briag it before the people and
remedy it. What use for Newspapers
and thinkers to point out these facts
yearly, when on some humbug issue
the people continually send incapable
men or men engrossed in other schemes
to the Legislature.
From Eight Mile Grove.
Ed. Herald: This neighborhood
was startled by the sudden death of
Corey Craig, 6 years old and youngest
daughter of S. Craig. She was taken
with a congestive chill and died on
Tuesday the 4th inst., a large concourse
of friends, and schoolmates followed
her to her last resting place.
The District School under the man
agement of Mahlow O. Weed is doing
fine. Weed is a big man in mind as
well as in body and proves to be the
right man in the right place.
Corn husking is not over yet by some
farmers, although quite a number are
disposing of their corn, taking advan
tage of the time and good roads.

Economy and Investigations.
The average American Legislator
does do some of the most curious
things under the head of economy
f rinstance" cut down a few hard work
ing Clerk's salaries (that in the whole,
could not amount to more than two or
three thousand dollars at best) and
order an investigation that bankers
and their clerks, and every idle hang
er on about the capitol can draw pay
and mileage and per diem for travel
ing back and forth to tell what every
one knew before and what parties in
Lincoln already offered to tell free of
cost to the State, and while expensive
law officers and legal departments are
kept up to prosecute criminals, or
maintain the rights of the State. Un
der the howl of economy the worst
frauds in this Country have been per
petrated. Not that we would choke
off necessary or useful investigation
- o
that leads to something tangible, but
of all the foolish investigations we
have ever had, the State has never
convicted a criminal or regained a dol-
ar that would not have been paid
back any way or could not have been
obtained under the law if it and its
officers were worth anything. We are
sorry to add that Republicans have
been bull-dozed into makine and aid-
ng these useless smelling rampages
from the cowardly fear of having it
s iid they daie net show up their men
or measures, ana 10 arown tne Bense-
es cry of " fraud."
Very many of our people agree with
the correspondent from Pleasant Hill
that we do not need an expensive and
extensive Immigration board, with
costly salaries attached, and our dele
gation in Lincoln will be warranted in
acting and voting accordingly. It
should be remembered that the eastern
counties have received but little bene
fit from these immigration schemes,
and many of the old farmers think
they came here without being coaxed,
pamphleted to death or imported free.
We do not write this as discouraging
to a useful and not too expensive sys
tem of making our state known, bnt
cnlv as a true statement of the senti
ment here, and a warning against use
less expense.
lne same tning may be said or ex
traordinary outlays for a board of agri
culture. Under the specious plea of
aiding the farmer and the jealous cry.
you must not antagonize the agricul
tural interests," some highfalutin
scheme for drawing public money is
gotten up in every legislature.
It is noticeable that it is not the
iarmer legislator mat asks tnis. it is
not as a rule the maa that holds the
plow that weeps because our agricul
tural interests are not fostered more
It is an interest that needs aid and
encouragement in a reasonable way,
too; but the first problem before the
public men and officials of this state is
to remedy the present system of taxa
tion and reduce expenses within such
limits that foreign capital and new
comers can live ana pay their way,
This, before any new schemes are in
augurated generally to make places
for political dead beats.
Weeping Water Notes.
Hon, S. M. Kirkpatrick waa in town
last week.

Dan Johnson has returned. He has

Mrs. Z. Vasburcrh's funeral eccured
at the Congregational Church last Fri
day. The Male Glee Club's concert takes
place next Wednesday evening.
The Congregational Church has not
yet found a pastor after its own heart.
They have been pastorless now over
five months, and still the attendance
on Sabbath services is quite good. Tal
madge's sermons read by Edward Ash
mun are listened to with great inter
est. It was not a remark made by Mr.
Ross calculated - to bIiow that our
town was as good at least as the aver
agpi" which I thought was flavored too
much with soft soap as Frances repre
sented in her article last, for I believe
that in intelligence and enterprise
Weeping Water is by no means below
the average. But the remark referred
to by me and as quated by Frances dis
tinctly in her first article placed Weep
ing Water ahead of all communities
between here and Boston " in intelli
gence, enterprise and refinement." No
finite being in this dark world of ours
is justified in making such an extrava
gant statement and therefore it ought
to be invoiced as " soft soap."

The Lorgnette, the Society Journal
of Omaha, accompanies its issue of
Fob. 8th with a supplement containing
portraits of tho leading dramatic and
musical people of that city. The por
traits are fairly good, and the notices
of the parties are excellant. The Lorg

with those phises of Society which
are elevating rather than with its
mere frivolities as do many of its con-temporarie?.
Last week was examination week
in most of the schools, and the boy
who "passed" can easily be selected
from the boy who didn't. One of those
who didn't was ou Saturday entrench

some one's arrival ; a man who had ob
served his preparation inquired: "Mak

We do hope our citizens will wake
to the necessity of patronizing the
series of lectures now being given at
the high school, in order to encourage
further attempts to bring entertain
ments of the better class to this city.
If parents will but think for a mo
ment of the opportunity these lectures
afford to their children to incite them
to farther efforts towards gaining
knowledge, we are sure they will come
themselves, bring their children and
persuade others to come. Many a
tie town in the western part, of
Stale, of not half our population has
its course of lectures, which are well
sustained and attended, and their peo
ple are wide-awake and energetic, and
know something outside the doings of
their own burg.
Plattsmouth, heretofore, has not en
couraged anything of the kin J. and has
nearly Ioet tho opportunity to do so,
through her apathy and indifference.
Rouse up, then, citizens, and prove
that you can do something for the good
of your town and give her a reputation
abroad, which she has lost, of appre
ciating somecning aoove the nigger
minstrel troupe.
Vert gravtfears are entertained in
Europe that the plague which has re
cently broken out in Egypt will spread
throughout all Europe, and the presi
tleat of the Board of Health in Rome
predicts that if it penetrates Europe
it will destroy a third of the popula
tion. Extreme sanitary and quaran
tine measures are being adopted, which
show that the countries along the
Black and Mediterannean Seas are
awaking to the gravity of the case.
The disease is called the Black Plague,
and Is said to be a tuberculous fever of
extreme virulence and rapidity of action.
ICobbery.
La3t Saturday a freight car at East
Plattsmouth was broken open and a
lot of goods stolen therefrom. The
deputy sheriff of Mills Co. came over
and with P. B. Murphy, they started
on the trail of the thieves, who had
gone west to grow up with the coun
try, or to join Olive's gang. Tho par
ties were arrested 28 miles from here
in the direction of Weeping Water,
Their names are M. L. Smith, Mary A.
Smith, Martin Thompson and John
Martin, and they had a team, wagon,
stock, &c, and were travelling toward a
home on the western frontier, they as
serted. The old woman, particularly,
dwelt forcibly and elegantly upon these
facts, and fairly stumped the marshal
by the numerosity and vehemence of
her swear words. Pat says he can
swear "some" when he's mad, but the
old woman could double discount him
lit- J and run her string out first when she
the had a cood cue. that is. On their re
turn here, it was found that John Mar
tin was practically innocent of the
robbery, having been forced along by
the Smiths to prevent bis squeal
ing. Martin told all he knew about
the affair and was released.
The C. B. & Q. sent Major Wood,
with Col. Hepburn, one of their smart
est lawyers over here to prosecute,
they being determined to break up this
car thieving business at any risk and
expense, Wednesday the case was ar
gued, first, on tbe complicity of the
woman and the right to hold her, and
next, on the power of the Judge to re
mand the prisoners to jail or the cus
tody of the Iowa authorities. Messrs.
Pottenger and Morrison defended, and
d:d it well too. Col. Hepburn is a
very fine speaker and lawyer and
fought like a Trojan. He succeeded in
getting the woman held for trial, but
the- law was "agin" him on getting
them back to Iowa without their con
sent or a requisition. The case was
finally compromised by th? prisoners'
agreement to go back to Iowa and
stand trial. Judge Sullivan displayed
his real knowledge of law to good ad
vuntage and was firm in his decisions
in the matter, in spite of tbe arduous
efforts of the lawyers to convince him
of his errors.

Ed. Herald: Breaking stalks is the
order of the day. A few farmers have

Mrs. M. A. Thosapsen'a daughter,

are now stopping at Mrs. banfordPot-

hopper will not find him in his new
home. Several of our neighbors are
soon to follow him.
Quite a number of oar boys are talk
ing of herding; Harvey Pottenger and
George Copple at Camp Creek; Mike

that bespoke sincerity, asked us "in the

pected to de, and what there is to do
it with?
Will some of our able revisers and
investigators rise and explain. We
saw mention mate in the Herald
about the repeal of the 40 per cent,
law. It is to be hoped that a law that
stands as a buck and gag to the poor
man, (who has not sufficient money
to carry it to a court high enough to
declare it unconstitutional,) may be
wiped frem the pages of our statute.

E. Herald: The weathei being

Ed. Herald: Your news reach us,
but no news from us seem to reach
you. Thusly it may not be. Where is
your Avoca correspondent? Items of
news are more plenty than reporters.
Avoca claims to be not dead, yet,
neither does it intend to be forgotten.
Spelling schools, debates, dances, &c.
started in the time of such fine snow,
are still kept up. Our people, by these
same spelling matches, put a decided
veto on the new departure in spelling.
Still we would not be judged to have
close dour minds to any improvement.
The people here, though in a better
sense, like the Athenians of old, de
light to find out new things.
There are not many girls here.
Young men are numerous, and with
uoblo generosity wait on the girls by
turns. It is even hinted that the
young men meet once a week, and, af
ter the old fashion, draw straws to de
termine who Bhall be the fortunate
one. 1 do not answer for this. But
John Tromble thinks the fun of the
thing comes when it takes two young
men to escort one young lady to a
dance.
I heard they were having an excel
lent debating and literary society at
the stone school house, usually called
Te fit's school house. I thought I'd go
and learn something. I went and did
learn. The house was crowded. The
meetings are very interesting. I met
O. Tefft, our senator there. I went
several times and always found many
good things served up: readings.decla-
mations, essays, songs aad debates.
Essays by D. E. Tromble, a graduate
of Doane. Ho alse takes an active in
terest in the debates. Music by Miss
Etta Ogden and other ladies assisted
sometimes by young men. This fea
ture of music add3 greatly to the in
terest of the society, and keeps its life
up. Many think this is the best part
of the society.
One evening the question of woman
suffrage was fully discussed. It excit
ed very great interest.
w . is. L.ynas or utoe county, ana a
verv fair debater attends regularly.
O. relit, when at home, is an active
member. But the societv does not de
pend upon him for its life.
If it were not fer one thing I would
not hesitate to say that this was a so
ciety far above the average. There is
far too much noise by some, who, as
far as I can learn, have not any too
great respect far themselves or others
It is really too bad that such a nuis
ance is not stopped.
There has been one lecture on tem
perance, by W. B. Lynds, delivered be

In the spelling school one Samuel S.

Rev. Mr. Gahlager (Methodist) has
had splendid weather to help his two
weeks ef protracted meetings in the
school district just north of the stone
school house.'
The chief point of interest is the
awakening of profesfing Christians to
a keener sense of their duties and
greater appreciation ef their privileges ;
only three or four have risen for
prayers, still I certainly say the pastor
has done us mil much good.
mo last night i nave attenaea was
surely the most interesting of the
series up to date. There are yet to be
three meetings more.
The stone school heuse is supplied
by Rev. Mr. Thompson, Congregation-
alist, of Syracuse.
I hear that several of tbe farmers
about here are already putting in their
spring wheat. There seems to be a
great deal of doubt as to the result.
Grass wheat is a very hardy variety
and may satisfy their hopes.
. A petition requesting our senator to
use his influence in support of prohi
bition has been circulated around here.
I saw names on it which I did not sup
pose would be there. However, this
was a pleasant surpiise.
The schools of our precinct all seem
to be in a flourishing condition, thanks
to our afable superintendent, Mr. Mar-
tindale.
I notice that Sheldon's district has
secured the services of Mr. Wolph, who
is also a graduate of Doane. This
gives Cass county three teachers of the
six graduates of Doane college. I hear
that you in Plattsmouth have the
fourth, making two-thirds of Doauo's
alumni. Yours, Avoca Observer.

One's Mother.
Around tho idea of one- mother the
mind of man clings with ibnd affection.
It is the first dear thought stamped upon
our infant hearts, when yet soft or capa
ble of receiving the most profound im
pressions, and all the after feelings are
more or less light in comparison. Our
passions and our wilfulness may lead us
from the object of our filial love; we may
become wild, headstrong, and angry at
her counsels or opposition, but when
death has stilled her monitory voice, and
nothing but calm memory remains to re
capitulate her virtues and good deeds, af
fection, like a flower beaten to the ground
by a rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amidst her tears. Hound that
idea, as we have said, the mind clings
with fond affection ; and even when the
earlier period of our loss forces memory
to be silent, fancy takes the place of re
membrance, and twines the image of our
departed parent with a garland of graces,
and beauties, and virtues, which we doubt
not that she possessed.
