It is funny to see Omaha and Coun

and elevates its coat-tail to receive tho
national kick which is to send it far
up among the mists of Salt Iiiver."
If a (ireenbacker said that, he said
one good thing, once, anyway.
What are the facts about this bill

Owing to the absence of the editor
last week, it was not noticed that tho
great freight fight between the C. B.
& Q. and U. 1. It. II. was amicably set
tled, both parties claiming to be satis
fied with the result. As rates to ship
pers have really been reduced since, and
bid fair to be kept lower the public
have no reason to regret the short "un
pleasantness" of our grwat friends.
The liepublican primaries are Sat
urday a week, the 13th; this campaign
is opening with great vim. This Couu
ty wants to maintain its Republican
ascendency, both this fall and next; it
should not lose its prestige in tho
Councils of tho State and Nation. It
behooves every true Republican to be
on hand, to lay aside private jealousies,
personal spites, nominate our very
lent men and work and labor for the
ticket. Remember this, and a word
to the wise is sufficient.
Ox the 29th inst, the Republican
Central Cosjmitteo of the Second Judi

of Maj. J. W. Fearman at the parlors
of the Baruum House in Nebraska Ci
ty. Present, Maj. Pearman, of Otoe
County; Georgo S. Smith, of Cass; J.
Stull of Nemaha; and J. E. Phillpott,
of Lancaster. The Committee decided
that the Judicial Convention beholden
at Nebraska City. October 3, 1879. at
which time a suitable candidate will
be nominated for the office of Judge of
the said district. The apportionment
of delegates w? agreed upon us fol
lows: Lancaster, 14; Cass, V; Otoe, 8;
Nemaha, 9. Journal:
The Commissioners have found an
other clause m our laws, which pre
vents over fifty per cent of the levy
from being nstd until July noxt. Con
sequently they cannot draw another
order for contracts already entered in
to, or work done between now and
then, unless they borrow moaey for
the same, not even for their own pay.
Hurrah! let's have a commission to re
vise and simplify (?) the laws. But.
really now, don't blame this Legisla

The central committee of the second
judicial district met at Nebraska City,
Friday night last, and called tho dis
trict convention at that place on the
8th of October. Little indications
pointed out the coming campaign as
one that will attract some attention in
political circles, a portion of the Lin
coin bar, it is understood, favored an
early convention, for reasons obvious
to the political observer, and had their
emissary on th ground for that par
pose. We, however, are satisfied that
the time n.imed for the convention
will be more satisfactory to all con
cerned, and if Otoe and Lancaster want
a tilt, Cass will prove an appreciative
observer. Enterprise.
Xow what's the "nigger" in tho fence
mean? Why don't you sing it out? Is
it that Lancaster wauted the district
Convention before the State Conven
tion ; or that Lancaster will be for Cobb
and Found both, ancf you tbink that's
one too many, or what is it. Wo are
satisfied with the Convention, and hope
a good man will bo nominated.
"The Nebraska City Sun furthers
the boom with the following: The Sun

AVe are 9. thousand times oblid to
tho Sun, the Enterprise and other
friends who have mentioned Mr. Mac
Murphy's name in this connection, and
foel complimented that he is thought
god for something, but it i3 an office
not to be deaired particularly at this
juncture, one that no man should
"work" fcr, and one that demands
the best talent in the State, and
one that MacMurphy has no particular
desire for; wo will gladly support
' any other good man from Cass County,
! if it is thought we ought to have a Ite
i gent, or from any other Ideality so that
he is a gentlemau, an honest man, a
man of education enough toundestand
the wants and demands of this great
institution, and of backbone enough
to follow hi3 own convictions and the
fairly expressed wishes of the people
fearlessly, without favor or affection,
sect, creed or persons. We deem this
much due to friends and the public at
this time that there laay be no misun
derstanding and no false expectations
indulged in on the matter.

The late Dr. GRthrie, of Scotland,
was a ntrong temperance man. On
one occasion he expressed his opinion
of whisky in these words: "Whisky is
good in its own place. There is noth
ing like whisky in this world for pre
serving it man when he is dead. But
it is one of the worst things in the
world for preserving a man wban he
is living. If you want to keep a dead
man put 'iiiu iu whisky; if you want
to kill a living, put whisky into him."

CORRESPONDENCE.
From Ilock Creek.
September 1st, 1879.
The very dry weather is drying up
the corn very fast, especially the late
planting, some of which will not make
more than half a crop. Wo think
some of thos3 Threo Groves' farmers
that arc expecting one hundred bushels
per acre will fall short from forty to
fifty bushels when they come to gath
ering. Some sickness at present in the
Neighborhood.
Farmers busily haying at present.
There will bo cousiderable many
cattle fed in thi3 neighborhood and
vicinity this winter.

Ed. Herald: As Philander Doe
sticks failed to give the report of our
Mustard crop last week, wo suppose
some are anxious to know how it is
flouishing. It is ripe but not harvest

eheap harvesters to come down and
put it up for us?

August 30th, 1S79.
Ed. Herald: Weather very dry,
drier than for many a rear. Corn ii
drying cut very rapidly. It will prob
ably shrivel somewhat iu the kernels.
Wheat seems to be yielding still less
and less. Farmers about here are
swearing off on barley.
Nothing of great importance has cc
curcd here except that this School Dis
trict, No. 77 has a new blackboard cf
alating. If any of your readers meet
a man selliag blackboards from Coun
cil Bluffs, let them set him down as a
fraud. I have not h;s nam?, but h
pulled wool ovr the eyes of our school
board in a wicked fashon. Only o;e
of the Board favored him, the ethers
were opposed; but as he said that the
other two strongly favored his blaek
hoard, each of the two foes finally
consented to purchase. The consent
of the Treasurer consisted in paying
ing the ordsr under protest. The black
board man called on a teacher here
and after a little talk, reported to the
School Board that said Teacher was
very enthusiastic for the black board.
Tlit teacher being very strongly oppos
ed to paying six dollars for said board
and agreed to furnish a similar one for
two dollars. But I suppose this is not
the only place which has been hoaxed
by this enterprising young cheat. Oth
ers will doubtless be visited by said
young peddler and perhaps will do well
to watch I-.im.
Hadlock has his evaporator up and
i3 ready for sorghum making. His pan
from Woods cost twenty-three dollars.
He has built a good brick furnace and
proposes a busy time.
The Sabbath School here is still in a
flourishing condition. It will have a
Concert the first Sunday in September,

Holye honest apple peddler and "a

Wut in a lawful way, they use not force
but plant orchards, to make them come

School will begin the first of Septem
ber, in the Stone School house. Miss
Upton is to bo tho Teacher.
But iu this dry weather it takes too
much ink to write because of so rapid
evaporation, so until another time
good times to all.

Cost of War.
Reviewing the world's history for the
Inst twenty five years tho Peace Union,
composed of the Society f Friends i
this country, shows by official statistics
that the loss of lifo by war within that
period reached 1.918,000, nearly two
millions of people, and the cost in
mono , without couiitiiig l5lti destruc
tion of property, 51:2,1 W,0ts,ttK. Th
greater part of the world's national
debts. 523,lo0,(X'O,i''O, giy they, was
created by war. The standing armies
cost $.j00.0(;0,(MK) per annum. And if
industry cannot produce the interest on
these 2.'.-l'A,( 00,000, besides the $oOO,
000.0'JO for the nnn ual keep of l he stand
ing armies, lepudiation and general
State bankruptcy will follow. The of
ficial organ of tho Union puts the total
expenses cf the ".tc war with the Sioux
Indians at 2,312, '1. Before the war
these sanm Indians offered to sell the
DlacK Hills, about which the war was
waged, for $!. 009. President Grstt't
offered J2",fl00, and would not advance.
Hence the Cetera vy for universal
reaca
T It possible
That a remedy made of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Man
drake, Dandelion, &c, make as many
and smell marvelous and wonderful
cures as Hop Bitfers do? It must be,
for when old and young, rich and poor.
Pastor and Doctor, Lawyer and Editor,
all testify to having been cured by
them, wo must believe and doubt no
longer, See auother column.
