The Czar's funeral procession wa sdi

through the Island of Vassili, over
another bridge aoross the Neva, and
thence to Petropoulorski fortress.

Another Blockade.
A nother snow blockade has cut esiT

the east and south. All the roads
leading east, and both the Wabash and
Kansas City & St. Joe roads south are
blockaded by snow. Xo trains arriv
ed Sunday from Chicago or St. Louis
over any of the roads, and none were
sent out. The Union Pacific trains
going west stalled on regular time,
and the L'. P. passenger and mail train
arrived at 4:30 Sunday afternoon. The
U. P. trains are still compelled to use
the B. & M. as an outlet.
The snow storm of Saturday and
Sunday is confined to the country east
of the Missouri. The indications are
that the blockade will bo raised today
and trains will resume regular time
on all.the eastern and southern roads.

wife did not like to go so far away.
This and financial troubles is supposed
to have caused the deed. Sheriff liv

above facts.
Some of our western and northern
exchanges don't like the last legisla
ture. We subjoin a few specimens as
a sample of their views:
The Nebraska Legislature has hon
orably won the title of Nebraska
windbags and do-nothings. Junction
Herald.
The Hebron Sentinel says: "The
Beatrice Courier is still clubbing the
Niii.ce men for playing traitor to Pad
dock in the late Senatorial election,'
and then inserts a quite lengthy edi
torial as coming from us. We respect
fully deny the allegation and can
whip the allegator- witli oar bull-dog.
The West Point Republican calls it
"l he either asinine or corrupt legisla
ture",and says "The Nebraska Legis
latures of late years can boast of hav
ing produced more rinses, or rascals
(veaintsure which) on the average
than that of any other state in tiie
Union." Now use them tenderly, Mr.
Republican! They are your own
parly pets, but we want this thing
done fair.
Our legislature has failed to do
many things which the people wanted
it to do ami it has done the very
i hing which the people did not want
it to tin, to wit: It has increased the
levy for state tax purposes not less
than five mills. In one word it has
increased taxation, when there was
not the slightest need for it. This is
rathet a strange proceeding, to say the
least, and one lor which the members
of the legislature should be made to
answer. .Many of them, not less than
a quarter or the whole number, weie
fanners, and they ought to know that
times are not so very flush with their
neighbors ; why then have they con
sented to do all this? were they not
iiosses.se.ssed with ordinary common
sense to enable them to understand
the purport of a bill? The farmers of
Nebraska must quit making fools of
themselves: they should send their
best men to the legislative regardless
of any and all political prejudices, and
keep in view only and solely the fol
lowing very wise political question
before them: To rote for r man who
vill not mil out rind who is ktioini to
be qualified for the position."
We have often said, and we repeat
it, the agricultural classes have fetched
onto themselves, for party sake, all
of the woes which they have to con
tend with," because of their voting on
the blind, under the dictate of unscru
pulous leaders who are the tools of
cliques or corporations. Men who are
s devoid of all pride as to vote for
the satisfaction of somebody else and
to their own detriment are as good as
disfranchised. We beg the fanners of
Nebraska to change their tactics u.
this respect and change them at once,
ere it is not everlastingly too late.
Their foolishness will cost them,
besides the millions it has already
cost them, not less than ten mills
more on the dollar for the next ten
years, besides the ten mills they have
to pay for the balance of the people
in this state or twenty mills on the
dollar. tate Democrat.

March 22, 1881.
Ed. IIekald: We have no certain
definite news of our newspaper man of
late: he must be of the kind "slow but
sure." In dt fiance of storm and in
clement weather the building boom
has already commenced. O. Burgess
and D. T. Drudley's new buildings are
rapidly assuming proportions. Town
property, especially good building lots
have advanced about 20 or 23 percent,
in value. Fleming and Race and C.
Thorngate are actively engaged pre
paring to build.
The -White hat" man has gone
South. Tho I. O. G. T. Lodge of W.
W. has over SO members now, in good
standing. "Free Trade or Protection"
was the subject for debate, at the last
meeting of the Weeping Water L. &
D. Club, the subject was ably dis
cussed by both sides, but was de
clared in favor of "Protection." That's
right, defend our home interests ami
give protection to the workers at

prentice, Willie Lineback, to learn the

LAI LSI SNOW STOK3IS.
Trains Stopped. &e.
I'liK AfiO, March 20. 2 . m. Af
fairs in the streets have gone from bad
to worse on account of tho stoini, but
at present the snow, which has been fall
ing rapidly since 3 :30 a. m. yesterday,
is beginning to come less lieavily and
will probably stop falling entirely
soon. The result of to-day's storm is
from six to eight inches of exceeding
ly compact snow, which is so solid
that pedestrians can walk on top of it
without perceptibly reducing its
height. The thermometer has been
very near, I ut a trifle above the freez
ihg point all day, and is now slowly
rising. Morning trains arrived very
closely on time, but to-night there are
serious delays on all lines. All freight
trains are abandoned. The North
western road sent out only one train
to Milwaukee, and no others, except
suburbans. The C, B. & Q. ttains are
blocked. The Alton train arrived one
hour late. The Illinois Central trains
are slow bnt running with some regu
larity. The Michigan Central is far
behind and sent out only one train to
night. The Michigan Southern trains
were delayed by a bad wreck fifty
miles from this city, and incoming
trains were six hours late. The Pitts
burgh & Ft. Wayne road justified its
reputation by sending all its trains
out on time. Roads not particularly
mentioned in the above report have
either abandoned all trains or only
suburbans. Wires are prostrated in
nearly every direction, and it is impos
sible to learn the fate of the trains
which have gone out, and many may
be blockaded only a few miles from
the city. There has been almost a
complete stoppage in travel and traffic,
and not a street car is running in the
city. The snow is piled up between
car tracks and sidewalks so high and
firmly that it is impossible to crowd it
back from the tracks. It is a problem
of vital interest to citizens how long
the presunt state of affairs is to last.
Nothing but heavy rain or very warm
weather will afford speedy relief from
the embargo, and there would be a
flood if either of those came about.
They have established a te!ej
station at Oreapolis Junction at
raph
last.
About dark Saturday evening, a
sort of a collision occurred between
B. & M. Engines No. 28 and 4, in
the yards of t he company in this city.
The engines were backing up in op
posite directions, on separate switch
tracks which converged' at a point op
posit the depot. Through the caie
lessness of the engineers they rubbed
up against each other rather too fa
miliarly, resulting in a crash, which
broke the drive bar of one. and darn
aged the other slightly. They were
both run down to the Plattsruauth
shops for repairs - Bee.
How it Was Done.
"How do you manage," said a lady
t her friend, "to appear so happy and
good natured all l he timeV" "I al
ways have Parker's Ginger Tonic han
dy," was the reply, "and thus easily
keep myself and family in good health.
When I am wpII I always feel good

How Happiness is Secure J.
. Happiness is the absence of pain or

there is disease. A pain in the lower

Dear Herald: After a long si

have had a hard winter. The losses
in cattle will range as high as 50 or

we will all learn to provide more feed
and shelter in future, although many

The W. C. T. IT. will meet at the

To Point a Moral.
We call the attention of our boys
particularly to the following facts
concerning the personal habits of two
men prominent before the American
public at the present time, on account
of their immense wealth and enormous
stock speculations; Wru. II Vander
bilt and Jay Gould.
If these men cannot afford to waste
their capital the capital of a clear
brain, steady nerves, and vigorous
health, and consider lhat only by total
abstinence can these be preserved in
full activity, is there not a lesson for
you in their example in this respect,
if you wish to succeed in whatever is
to be your life work?
"William II. Vanderbilt's personal
habits are such as do boner to Ameri
can manhood. It is said that the hab
it of smoking was strong upon him in
his younger days, and his breaking it
was an illustration of his boundless
deference to his father's feelings and
wishes. One day in 1833, as the fami
ly were on their way to St. Peters
burg, on board the strata yacht North
ern Star, the father and son were
walking on the deck, the latter puffing
an after dinner cigar.
"I wish you would break up that
smoking habit of yours. 1'il give you
10,000 if you will do it," said the
Commodore abruptly.
"You need not give me any money;
your wish is sufficient," answered the
son, throwing the cigar overboard.
He has never smoked since.
His command over himself is some
thing remarkable. He used to be a
real whist player, like his father, and
when he .:ad removed to New
York
or four evenings
a week at the
I'nion 'lub. But he noticed that
tobacco smoke ani midnight hours
i interfered with the clearness of his
head the next morning, and he gave
up both whist and club. The samo
thing happened with wine. He likes
a glass of champagne, but having dis
covered that it affected his head the
next day, he never touches wine or
spirits of .my kind now, even at public
banquets or dinner parties at his own
house, Every day in the year he is in
bed by 11 P. m . and at work by 8 A. M
And now in his sixtieth year, his
complexion is fresh with the glow of
health and strength, and his eyes have
the luster that comes from regular
habits, and abstinence from drinking
and smoking.
Jay Gould is a regular "blue ribbon
boy" "never swears nor uses strong
language of any kind, nor does he
drink, smoke, or play cards.'
Selections.
Drinking produces poverty, domestic
misery, insolvency, bankruptcy, de
struction of property, loss of reason,
disease, and premature death.
They call it strong-drink when
speaking of it, and never was anything
more rightly named. For as surely as
it gets hold of one, it pulls him down
ward into depths of degradation, as
nothing else has power to do.
DitfXKKSSEss is a besetting sin,
and leads to idleness, quarrelling,
swear.ng, lighting, stealing, adultery,
murder, and almost every other sin,
and finally to f.teen'al miskuy.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
Charley Holmes is just more than
fixing up that "Ross Hotel" of his'n,
on Sixth and Vine sts. He's put a
pizarro on one side, a portorieo on the
other and there is to be a lemonade
all round it. Whether it is to be fin
ished olT with a cupola, a moitgage, or
at mechanic's lien on top we tlo not
know. Any one of 'em would set the
thing otf in good style.
A portion of the democrats want
to run a straight ticket and would
probably nominate Capt. O'rtourke.
Many citizens would like to make a
good business ticket irrespective of
party, in fact we understand ther is
movement on foot looking towards
that kind of a tieket. We have heard
of no Republican candidates as yet.
Another snow storm in Illinois

the intluence'of bad whisky arriving
with his charge near the shops got
into a Puilinnn car standing near, and
when u.tked by tho Conductor, who
had discovered his condition, "what
he wanted" he replied, "to sit down."
The conductor told h'un to "get out."
T he granger retorted, "you cannot put
me out." when the conductor settling
ids ca o.i his head, and doubling
up his cuffs, courteously informed
him if he did not get out he would

A Chapter of Accidents.
Last Saturday morning about 2 a.
m. as the early freight train was pull
ing into the yard, it would seem that
Thos. L. Barnhard the engineer slip
ped from his engine somehow, and
was run over and instantly kilLd by
his own train. An engine stood on
the switch with" headlight burning
brightly as Barnhard's train came
round the curve; both he and the fire
man seem to have thought at first that
this engine was on the main track,
and both stepped to the side of th
engine to look out. The fireman heaid
no word, nor did he know Barnhard
had left the engine till the thud of the
cars passing over his body called at
tention to the fact of something wrong.
The supposition can only be, that he
stepped down or was leaning out down
low to see s where the witch engine
really was when he somehow slipped
or lost his hold and was thrown under
the wheels.
His body was at once removed to
town, an inquest held which threw
no further light on the subject, and no
one will ever know just how poor
Tom Barnhard lost his life. He had a
wife and child at Lincoln where the
body was taken next day, and the
funeral held. The final interment
however being in Indiana, among his
folks, we understand. lie was one 'of
the most reliable engineers on the
road ami stands high with t lie com
pany and all his comrades.
A STOCKMAN FALLS OKI" THE BUIDOE
On the same morning a number of
stock cars passed through from Burt
county, on one of which was Henry
Stoik. a drover, residing near Tekama
in Burt Co.
While crossing the bridge one of his
steers got d.nvn and he attempted to
prod him up while the cars were in
motion, either walking by the side of
cars or hanging by the ladder with one
liand. At all events he lost his hold
somehow and ' as precipitated to the
frozen ground and ice beneath, a dis
tance of 32 feet by measurement.
Both legs were broken, or rather
, .....
' thifjn hones (1
flesh, ii bud wound
driven through the
in the head and
left arm broken above wrist. lie was
tit once removed to the Pacific House
this place, where he now lies, and
there is a bare hope of his entire
recovery. Mr. S. C. Smith one of the
men going through with three cars of
his own cattle, stopped over Sunday
with Mr. Stoik, and Sunday morning
his wife and a Mr. Lilly from Tekama
came down. Mr. Stork is here now
and everything that c in be done for
the unfortunate man is being done.
Drs. Livingston, Richmond and Hall
were in attendance dressing the
wounds.
On Sunday night a freight train
collided with the switcli engine near
the head of the yard but fortunately
no one was hurt and only a H at car or
two injured.
