The storm of Sunday night which
seemed to be disselving in rain every
where but here, treated Omaha even
worse than us. Several houses being
blown down and signs, out houses
and small things generally, taking a
trip. The new Catholic convent walls
were racned completely out of shape.
Mr. Henry Hall and Mr. J. II.
Young, of Weeping Water, returned
from a trip to Chicago, yesterday,
where they took five car loads of cat
tle. They struck rather an overstock
ed market, but managed to come off
with a cent or two profit, they say, and
they remembered the Herald.
The body found in the river on the
17th is now supposed to be that of
Dan'l Monohan, from Malvern. He
was last seen in Council Bluffs on the
8th, with two bad characters and was
known to have had at that time about
81,700. The bedy was exhumed at
the request of the Sheriff of Mills Co.
The key and the knife found were re
cognized as Monohan's. It is prob
ably a case of murder for pelf.
. Lawyer Windham has been down
in Rock Bluffs, trying that same old
case with Muffin again. This time he
winded Murfin, who came near giving
up the case, and the ghost, too. ne
thought the father of all lawyers had
sent for him, and no "writ of prohibi
tion" could prevail. But kind Nature
had compassion and issued a manda
mus; so onr friend Murfin lives to
fight it out on the old line, if it takes
all summer.
We are under life-long obligations

Glover, T. F. Welborn, John Ossenkop,

subscribers in that vicinity, whom the
collector failed to see, we would say
that he will spend a day or two more
in Louisville soon, and will try and
get a settlement with each and every
one, as we wish to get our books in
better shape than they have been for
yean past -

small crosses, and where this cannot
be done the loose flowers and ever
greens will be gratefully received.

From Colorado.
Denver, May 20th, 1880.
Ed. Herald: It is now nearly
three weeks since our arrival in Den
ver and thinking that a few scattering
notes from this locality would be ac
ceptable to your many readers, and
would be of interest L hastily pen you
a few inkling lines. We left Platts
mouth in the latter part of ult.,
for the west to Colorado and the
Reeky Mountains. Had thought of
giving a brief description of our trip
through but circumstances and time
will not permit at present and it prob
ably would not be of general interest
to the Herald readers, as some other
items.
Denver seems to be one of the larg
est and most prosperous cities of Colo
rado, from appearance. We were
somewhat surprised at the growth of
the city aud the business going on
here. From the number of travelers
and the far west seekers from the
east and other points that arrive here
daily, one would be impressed with
the idea that Denver was the great
metropolis city of the west. It is esti
mated that the arrival of passengers
on the railroads, that centre to this
point numbers about three or four
hundred a dav. and even more than
that at times; however, the majority
of them only make this a temporary
stopping place for a short time and
then proceed on their westward journ
ey to Leadville and other mining points
in the Rocky Mountains.
Denver has at present its share of
pickpockets, tramps, thieves and
other specimens of humanity and it
has been necessary for the police au
thorities to increase their force and
banish them from the city at times.
Agricultural pursuits in Colorado
seem to be only secondary; wheat is
the principal cereal raised here al
though garden vegetables of all kinds
are raised in abundance, and probably
can't be excelled by any other State in
the Union. We an informed that
verv little corn is raised on account
of the cold nights and other drawbacks
of the season. The Spring here has
been cold, backward and very dry, not
rain enough this seasen to start vege
tation until the 6th inst., about three
or four inches of snow fell and about
the same amount on th 9th which
caused sufficient moisture to start the
grass and all vegetation. From the
scarcity of snow in the mountains and
the dry weather, the streams are very
low and and water very scarce. Old
ranchmen say that the streams are
lower now than has been known for
a number of years.
The grand old mountains that lie
west and south of Denver present
some picturesque scenery to the travel
er as he chances to pass through Colo
rado ; Pike's Peak, that well know point
that every school boy remembers so
well, looks quite grand to the behold
er ; on clear days with its snow covered
top, one would not think it more than
twenty miles away, however, they call
it-eighty miles or more. Long's Peak,
is observed by every one with interest,
its tops looking upward above the sur
rounding country and cam be seen for
many miles around.
Farm wages are from 625 to S30 per
month and plenty of hands to fill all
vacancies when any occurs.
While in Denver we chanced to meet
several old frlei.ds from Nebraska,
among the number. Mr. Tom. Brown
from Rock Bluffs; Mr. Henry Hagood
from Kenosha; and the Story boys,
formerly residents of Neb. We also
had the pleasure of making a call at
Mr. Baldwin's, a son-in-law of Mr. and
Mrs.W. W. Wiley of Three Groves,
and had quite a pleasant chat with him
during our stay.
I will give the market prices of a
few farm products in Denver, merely
to show the difference between the
markets here and the eastern states;
nearly everything is sold here by the
pound or cwt: Wheat, Colorado, is
worth S3 102 15 per cwt.; Cora,
1 201 25 Mr cwt.; Oats. Colorado,
82 002 25. State;? 81 751 90 per
cwt.; Hay, bald, S1924 per ton; Po
tatoes, peach blows, 2 002 50 per
cwt.; Turnips 2 cents per lb.; Flour,
83 353 50; Butter, ranch, 2630
cents per lb.: Eggs, 17 cents per dez.;
Beef, dressed. 99, live weight 2
4j; Pork, dressed, per lb., 7 cents;
Honey, strained, 15 10 cents per lb.,
comb, 25 30; and other things in pro
portion. I fear this letter is too long already
and must close. If this letter is allow
ed space I will write again. Resp'y,

Weeping Water Notes.
Not much to mention this week;
dnst and dry weather absorb nearly
all the news.
We had splendid indications for rain
Sunday evening, but after lightning
and many cleuds, our prospects disap
peared in the Ease, West and North,
leaving us still parched and dry, with
a clear sky,
Farmers are feeling very blue over
the prospects for another harvest, as
small grain and corn need rain very
much.
Barnes' new stere is assuming a
store-like appearance quite rapidly,
and will be an ornament and of bene
fit to Weeping Water.
The railroad surveyors have left us.
D. E. Jones is building an extensive
two-story kitchen addition on the
North side of his house.
Miss Creda Wolcott is improving.
She ha3 been an invalid for some time,
caused, I understand, from a fall on
the ice last winter.
Mr. Rockwell was made happy re
cently by a brand new little stranger;
and likewise Mr. Fitzpatrick. All do
ing well.
Mrs. M. E. Woods, we are sorry to
learn, is quite ill.
' It takes Tom much longer to dine
now than it used to do. However, it's
all right, Tom; we would, toe; it's
much more corapanienable.
You'll hear again from Trixy.
I Don't Hunt thut Stuff,"
Is what a lady of Boston said to her
husband when he brought heme some
medicine to cure her of sick headache
and neuralgia, which had made her
miserable for fourteen years. At the
first attack thereafter it was adminis
tered to her with such good results,
that she continued its use until cured,
and was made so enthusiastic in its
praise that she induced twenty-two of
the best families in her circle to adopt
it as their regular family medicine.
That "stuff" is Hop Bitters.

How to Make Soap for a Cent a Pound.
Shave into small pieces five bars of Dobbins'
Electric Soap, and boil in tliree quarts of wter
until the soap is thoroughly dissolved, so that
upon ctraining through a sieve nothing re
mains ; add to the solution or "suds" three
gallons of cold water ; etir briskly for several
minutes to mix, and set it away te cool. Al
though it will look like nothing but soapsuds
while warm, a chemical reaction will take place
and in twenty-four hours' jtiine will develop
forty or fifty pounds of magnificent and white
soft soap, costing lens than one cent a pound,
and as good as many ot the adulterated com
pounds called soap, and sold at 7 to 10 cents a
