PLATTSMOUTIf. JUNE 1G. 1SS1.
Half of Weeping Water were up to
hear Schuyler Colfax.
I hey ask for "Slocutnb Water now
in Omaha, when they feel particularly
vindictive and thirsty.
"Are the children safe" is a beauti
ful noem in the leraperance Col. on
the outside of this paper.
Judging by the report of the pre
liminary meetings, we are coins to
have a b Fourth here.
The Neb. delegation to the National
meetincr of the G. A. II. propose Paul
Vandervort as Grand Commander.
The Bee is now an eic.it col., morn
ing and evening paper, cut, pasted and
ready for use, as handy as anybody's
paper.
Fred Nye has left the joint tripod
of the Republican and 13rook3 runs it
alone . It'll be "every day alike
now we suppose.
Round's Printer's Cabinet for April
and Mav contains a specimen of "Job
work done in the Herald ofiice 1 t
Rush Fellows for Prof. Wooley last
year.
"lRO(iri.s" won the English
"Derby" and now another American
horse "Foxhall" wins the great French
race of the season, the "Prix de Paris'
at Paris.
The Blair Pilot this week is a most
excellent paper, well printed and full
of news, besides some very sensible
editorials about the political unpleas
antness just now happening.
The W. W. Recorder came to hand
last week all O. K. Bro. Mathews a:id
ourself have had odd luck in exchange-
ingbut guess we'll get along after this.
Mr. Mathews was in town Friday.
OUR exchanges are full of the
fourth of July. A meeting at Oak
land, Burt county, winds up with in
viting the citizens of Omaha and Sioux
City to visit their fourth of July.
We fancied by the way our friends
here talked wu had not a stalwart
comrade in the county; but two strong
letters of indorsement came to hand
last week. One from a quarter least
expected says: "Four-fifths of the Re
publicans here stand by you in your
stalwart expressions."
Rush Fellows got home all right we
a m by the Post, but Billy Shryock
showed us a stick full of matter that
went into a part of the edition during
his absence that warns all Editors to
beware in whose hands they leave
their paper when going off on a
well a spree of any kind. Remem
ber the "Rat story." Rush.
While Iroquois and Foxhall are fa
mous and we glory in beating both
French and Enclish horses with
American born horses let u look foi
st moment at the breeding of these
horses.
The Epsom Derby was inaugurated
1780 and the first race was won by
"Dioined who at 22 years old was
imported to America for $2j0. One
century and one year,thereafter a di
rect descendant of this Dioined, takes
the blue ribbon on his ancestor's na
tive heath. The -irand Prix de Paris"
was established 18G:J, and "Foxhall" is
grandson to "Lexington" of precisely
the same strain of. family, the 7th dam
being Pandora, by "Grey Diomed."
Last week was the week of parades.
Drocessions. and tournaments. The
great Fireman's Tournament at Coun
cil Bluffs commencing Tuesday and
lasting three days. The whole city
was full of red shirted and blue coat
ed firemen. From the North, the
South, the East and the West they
poured into the old town and such a
crowd was seldom seen there.
The Herald cannot spare the space
to give the proceedings in detail but
the gallant boys all seemed to enjoy
themselves to the utmost, and the pa
pers of the U. S. are full, fuller, full
est of the great Fire Tournament at
Council Bluffs.
A Total eclipse of the moon was
tl e grand event of Saturday night. The
moon being at her node or crossing
point was in such a position that the
earth passed directly between her and
the sun, intercepting the sun's rays.
This is a comparatively rare occur
rence, the path of the sun and the
moon being on diffeient planes, and
therefore the moon must be at the
crossing point at the time of rull
moon, in order to be totally eclipsed.
In this case the moon was full, was
at her node, and was in perigee, (at
her neartst point to the earth,) which
combination of circumstances were
unusually favorable for a total eclipse.
In addition, the sky in this vicinity
was clear, not a cloud obscuring the
horizon. About a quarter past teu
o'clock the moon reached the dark
shadow and from that time until
twelve o'clock the obscuration gradu
ally increased until it became total.
About 12:30 the edge of the moon
emerged from shadow, and about 1 :30
totality ended and the moon in its
full glory appeared. The view even
with the naked eyo was very fine, and
quite a number in this vicinity re
sisted the blandishments of the
drowsy god to watch it through.
The anti-treating lawTs a dead let
ter as far as this city is concerned, and
there appears to be no effort on the
part of the temperance people to en
force either this law or the Slocumb
bill. If these laws cannot be enforced
a prohibition law should not for a
moment be thought of. Lincoln
Globe.
Can these things be, and overcome
us like a summer cloud or Slocumb
Water.
The long-talked of, and much adver
tised lecture of Hon. Schuyler Colfax,
under the auspices of the Odd Fellows
of Plattsinouth, was given last Mon
day evening.
The Hon. gentleman struck the
Junction on the wrong Moi.day and
Major Wheeler was obliged to charter
a special engine to bring him across
the old Muddv. .
IN THE AFTERNOON
A lecture on Odd Fellowship was
given at their rooms which was most
interesting to those attending.
By half past three the Masonic and
Odd Fellows Hall was filled to its ut
most capacity by Odd Fellows and
their families from all parts of the
county who listened ' for two long
hours to his address on the histoiyt
aims and results of Odd Fellowship,
which w;:s delivered in Mr. Colfax's
usual pleasant style and was listened
to with rapt attention. After the ad
dress, introductions and congratula
tions were in order and all went home
feeling that it was good to be there.
DURIXU THE AFTERNOON.
Mr. Jones, the livery man brought
out four line grey horses and his new
cairiage, and took Maj. Wheeler, Mr.
Colfax and the Editor of this paper
out riding to see the shops, town and
some if our country near by.
The ride was an exceedingly pleas
ant one, the gentleman being a most
excellent conversationalist, aud fre m
his intiuiate acquaintance with the
personages prominent during the war
his talk is so interesting that time Hies
unnoticed. We could scarcely believe
it was six o'c'ock when we returned
to the orlke.
As we passed Frank Cat ruth's fine
business house Mr. Colfax said there
was a boy he got appointed to West
Point, just before the war, which is a
fact, we are informed. The closing of
that institution temporarily, alone
prevented Mr. Carrutli from being a
"West Pointer" for life.
IN THE EVENING
He gave one of his lectures on the
life and services of Abraham Lincoln
to a crowded house, many Odd Fal
lows and citizens, from throughout the
countv being piesent. I he lecture
was listcnt d to with absorbed atten
tion by all; we think no one was ready
to have it close, although the speaker
was hoarse and did rot do himst-lf
justice, oratorical!)-, all his old friends
saw
Mr Colfax was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Wheeler. The Odd Fellows
cleared over 8"0 by their enterprise.
The visit and lecture altogether has
been very pleasant and has marked an
epoch in Odd Fellowship here.
It is not that we think everything j Louisville Waifs.
Conklimr has done is right or that all j Louisville is still here and growing.
he may do must be defended; on the I A new railioad was started south
contrary, we believe his endeavors to ! fr0IU hr l1 Friay At least a
, , . .... ,.! survey was begun, frhakespeare de-
be reelected now, when a bitUr fight j 8C, ibe3 the silualit)11 ,iere wlltIl ,,e
must be made for it is the really "great 1 says:
mistake of his life." I Ltd he retired, "Old men, and beldames in tiie street,
left his great fame to speak for itself
and allowed two stalwarts to be elect
ed, which could have been done at
once he would have stood the greatest
man in America.
But we do object to the mud thrown
over the bravest and best men of the
Republican party, men who never
bolted and never refused to go into a
caucus and settle Republican-disputes
in an honest Republican fashion.
(Vnkling is not the party, but he has
pro vel himself honest and fearless,
and the class of men and newspapers
that abuse him have neither his cour
age, ins Drains nor 1 1 is iiianiiuoii.
Not content with throwing mud
they mix manure in their tuiid-hole
and rling that at every man that sup
port him or Gen. Grant.
If it comes to the question who
forms the Republican party, and the
daring aim of the half-breeds could be
accomplished and all .he men who
stand behind Grant and Conkling be
driven from the party, you have sim
ply (?m.isciilatedthe Republican party.
When their deeds are forgotten, or
covered with scorn, you have elimi
nated from the party record nearly all
that makes the party worth preserving.
OUR people are once more crazy on
railroad matteis. It is reported that
four hundred men and scrapers are at
work this side of Gilmoreon the U.
P., that surveyor's swarm from Louis
ville to Weeping Water; that the
right of way has been secured, and the
proper papers tiled on the otticers of
the B. & M. to procure a "crossing" at
Louisville or elsewhere. The facts
ire that the "Mo. Pacific" a branch of
Gould's system seems likely to build
from Atciiison to Omaha through Cass
and Otoe Countie?, in the rear of both
Nebraska City and Plattsmouth, us
ing the I.'. P. track from (Jiimore to
Omaha.
Whether it's bluff or business, no
one as yet really knows, but we as
sume tl.ev mean to build, and advise
Plattsmouth to keep cool and go ahead
with all improvements ami Liis'ju'3S,
.... - i l
as tins town is loo large now, 10 oe
affected greatly by adverse railroad
schemes. There is too much capital
invested here and too many store and
brick in the machine shops of the B.
& M. for any such plan to materially
check our growth and development.
Althouah the Herald is not cry
ing for a road in our rear, yet we can
see in many ways mat u win ie -in
advantage to the town and county.
The building of this road, if built,
means that the B. & M. and the lT. P.
will have a .struggle lor suprem
acy in the South Platte, and if so, the
main line and main business of the
B. & M. and "Q" roads will oe at
Plattsmouth, and every advantage
possible will be given Plattsmouth,
Lincoln and towns oit ths i. Sc M.
Our machine shops will be greatly
increased ; eatintr houses, depots, and
slock varun win coiue oc-i nni-.
Other roads may crow here in time
from the east, aud a state of affairs
ensue that will make this point the
great entrepot to the B. A M. system
of roads west as Omaha is to the IT. P.
The B..& M. will now push for Den
ver and tne i'aciuc coast, aim in s w in
be one of the most important lines on
the continent.
On the other hand, we shall, no
doubt, lose some country trade and
some shipments. Gould evidently in
tends to connect this line with his
southern system .tnJ barge route to
New Orleain, all of which w-l Lripg
wealth to the county and prosperity
to the farmers and do more to settle
the vexed railroad question than all
the Doane tub laws and Alliance in
the state.
So let improvements proceed. No
country, no town was really ever
hurt Ly too many outlets or too much
business. Building railroads makes
business for every on,

The news from Albany remains the
same as far as voting is concerned
no election, and Conkling and Piatt
holding theii own. Serious fears are
entertained that no election will be
had this. session of the legislature, and
that if it goes to the people, no one
knows what the result may be.
1 lie excUMnent ot last wvek was
the charge by Mr. Bradley, a member
from Cattaraugus county, that Sena
tor Sessions of the same county, had
endeavored to bribe him to leave
Conkling and vote for Depew, offer
ing him '45vv lor Jus vole it so
changed. lie crave the money to
speaker Sliarpe, and made an open
statement of tlit? fact during the af
ternoon session of the assembly.
Other members testify that they have
been approached with olfeis and the
excitement is intense. An investiga
tion is going on and it overshadows
for the present the mere fact of how
the vote stands each day. New de
velopments are looked for Monday.
The stalwarts claim to feel preatly
elated over these cjisclostn t s and the
half-breeds declare it all a trick to
beat them. The proof of Sessions'
ci i me seems plain.
The Saengerfest.
Seventh Biennial Saengerfest of
the Pioneer Saengerbund at Omaha,
commenced Wednesday, June Sth,

Week before last our papers did net
reach South Bend for some reason.
When informed of it we wrote to see
what were facts and got the following
answer:
South Bend, June, th, 1SS1. Dear

Heralds last week, and made up our
minds had none up for it is the
first time the oil! HERLp failed; and
how the postmaster lias hi good na

questions, ''has the Hkralp come?"
"Where is my JlEJiALp y" Why, one
would think the Herald was held in
high esteem by its friends, Hope it
will reach us all light this week.

We are- having a sensat ion. and it is a

It is a square swear-off and quit-off

During the flood last spring Mr.
Gillelt and soiue one else caught a
biidge bent as it was floating down
the Platte, which they took apart and
placed upon the bank. It is claimed
that the railroad company used the
lumber iu repairing damages done by
the flood. Mr. Gillctt employed a
prominent lawyer here, to collect pay
for his shaieof the lumber from the
company's road master. And now
comes said roadmaster win) swears he
will prosecute said lawyer for stealing
coal from said company unless said
lawyer keeps mum on the lumber j
question.. The lumber suit lingers.

Jack Sullivan suicided here last
Thursday. He gave the cause to be
unrequited love. Be' that as it may,
the young lady is fo' lunate in escap
ing marriage with a man so weak

by taking an ounce of laudanum
but his groans brought him assistance.
Dr. Ilasemeier was called and his an

soon a able to be up, hanged himself
with a children's swing rope. Coroner

elates an untruth under oath and is
guilty of deliberate and wilful per

room for misunderstanding or unin
