Plattsmouth, Dec. 16, 1881 Ed. Enterprise: Since coming to your city I have been informed that an alleged newspaper in this city some time since published an article copied from the Juniata Herald, in which certain charges were made against me. At the time the article was published I was absent in Illi nois, and upon my return regarded the article too absurd to answer. But as it has been published here, I deem it best lo say the whole statiment Is absolutely false, and if any such letter ever existed, purporting to be mine, it was a forgery. The motives that led to its publication the people easily locate. Yours. J. B. Finch. ditto as to iieadlxo. Plattsmouth, Dec. 19th, 1881. To Ourselves: Since the last is sue of this paper, we have been in formed that an. "alleged" Temperasce Reformer of some notoriety hi the state and of alleged bad moral char acter, by some of his temperance friends, came to towrn and endeavored to edit both the other papers, one with fist and tongue, and the other as above. As the Irishman said to the mule when he put his foot in the stirrup; "Faix, if you're goin' to git on your own back I'm goin' to get off". If the alleged Temperance Reformer is going to edit all the papers in the state the same way perhaps we'd better get down and give him a chance. The articles describing his advent in Mr. Sherman's offic as published irr the Journal , if true, make his con duct too absurd for the Herald to answer; but as it was published here in our absence, for the day, we deem it best t t-ay that, whether the Jour nal man made a mistake or vol in the first place, the alleged Temperance Reformer made a most lamentable one, for the temperance cause in his alter action. The original charges were fast dy ing out and being obliterated bv the kindly hand of time, This unwar ranted assault brings the whole mat ter fresh to mind. Neither does it seem proper that a reformer, alleged or otherwise should use the language attributed to our reformer, and it may be that the re port is a"forgery". If so, just consider this whole article unwritten. The motives for treating this mat ter thusly, can be located or left un located as each of our readers may in dividually desire. Yours, Editor Herald. A Nocturnal Ramble and What Came or it. Some genius we suspect him ty be long to the jevial order of humanity has said: "The day to drone and dream tho night to learn and ramble." We do not propose to dispute this worthy's view of the matter, but present here with the experience of a Philadelphia journalist, Mr. William II. Cunning ton. 1712 North Twentieth struet, one of whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to, beginning his narration rather peculiarly, however: "I am not a rheumatic, and have been troubled very little with bodily pains. Last Tuesday morning I experienced a very annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew worse as the day wore n. To ward evening it became very severe, and I could scarcely turn my head in any direction. Arriving home at tea time, it was with dilhculty that I could eat my meal. My wife wanted to rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but I refused, saying I thought the afiiiction would soon pass away. Tea over, against the reianstrances of my family, I left home to ranble toward the new Chestnut-Streei Opera House, about two and a-half miles from my residence. I started in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and remained ;.t the theatre until the close of the per formance, although I could feel my neck getting worse and becoming very painful. Leaving the play the trouble camo to reach home. The storm con tinued; the car in which I was became blocked in nearly every square, a cold current air swep through the c-uv, and audi did not reach home until toward 3 A. M., by which time my neck had become absolutely rigid. Then I c -n-sented to the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wif applied two or ihree times before I arwse. I continued its use that day and by evening I w;s free from pain, and the nxt morning I amused mysalf by twisting my neck in any direction that suited me, and not a vestige of stiffness remained."
