When was aestheticisra first men
tioned in the Bible?
The President lias signed the appor
tionment bill, and it is now a law.
Conkung and Sargenr, will be con
firmed at the first meeting1 of the Sen
ate, it is said.
We have not seen the official pro
clamation of the Governor ytt. calling
the Legislature in extra sessioM.
Gen. Sherman lias decided that Lt
Webster, of the University, will have
to return to his regiment at the expir
ation of his term in June.
The Hon. Bruno Tzschuck has been
confirmed as counsel to Vera Cruz.
We ought to send a Kernel somewhere
now, we have disposed of our Schucks.
The Globe Democrat has about four
columns on Oscar Wilde. It is singu
lar what asstheticism will do for a
usually hard headed and level ended
newspaper.
What does Dr. Miller mea pitch
ing into our Cass County fellows so?
Come, Doctor, no inuendoes. If you
Know something, out with it! What Is
the matter for Heaven's sake?
PuYSicfANs at Lincoln, on the 25th,
decided that a Mr. Kirby had the small
pox. The said Kirby is a brakesman on
the B. & lately from Canada, and
has been running between Plattsmouth
and Lincoln.
The Omaha Bee heads a notice of
the Press meeting in Lincoln "The
Veal Club." A tough old steer like
Rose water cannot be expected to have
much sympathy for the innocent
younglings in the profession.
And nowcomes a miserable newspa
per yarner and tells the Omaba Herald
and other people that Orlando TeSt
wants Geo. Smith's place, or to be P.
M. of Plattsmouth. What lies can be
told during campaigns and when there
is an office in sight.
It has been noticed that the change
in the editorship of the Lincoln Dem
ocrat was at once followed by hoisting
Tilden as the leader for 1834. Coming
on the heels of the reputed letter to
Palmer, proposing Tilden and Palmer
as the next Democratic National tick
et, it looks suspicions.
The first real lie the Inter Ocean
ever told we discovered last Sunday.
Speaking of S. M. Pettengill, the great
advertising agent, it says: "He is a
christian gentleman, and a member of
Flymeuth church.,' The last he may
be, but that an advertising agent can
be a christian gentleman demands
proof from western editors. It would
take the devil to comply with some of
those contracts of the old man's. We
admit he's the best of the lot but don't
hold him up as a model christian just
yet. After he's dead, as usual, we'll
admit any thing yon say, but until
then excusez moi!
There appears on the outside of
this paper a long array of figures which
represent the dealings of the County
for the. past two years with the County
Treasurer. It shows many important
facts, states just how our money has
been disposed of, and is a careful and
accurate history of the finances of the
County for that time.
While it is creditable to the retiring
Treasurer, it is not more so than to the
pains-taking and observing Commis
sioners, who have of late years execut
ed the trust confided to them by their
constituents in a manner that cannot
but result in causing the tax-payer and
business man to feel that the financial
management of the County is safe in
their hands. This settlement has taken
several weeks of careful, constant, te
dious work that few, except these fa
miliar with the process, realize. Check
ing, comparing, verifying, day in and
day out, takes the closest atten
tion, and the result in brief, short as it
seems in print, filled many pages of
MSS, closely covered witlt figures.
To the Commissioners' prompt at
tendance and constant revision, to
gether with this annual settlement,
made at large, we ewe our prosperity
as a County, and the avoidance in the
future of grave errors, mis-payments
and long delinquent taxes.
May their shadows never grow less,
and their reward be more than a satis
fied conscience for the future.
Senator Van Wtck got a chance to
make his little speech oil the Surveyor
Genet al business last week in the Sen
ate. His statement of wrong-doing is
against , the "special deposit" system,
rather than the local Sureyor Gener
al's management.
It seems that by a law passed sever
al years ago, surveys in rough and
mountainous countries, and, in fact,
in large tracts of country, not thought
necessary to be surveyed now by the
government, can be surveyed if a cer
tain number of people in a township,
or tract of country, ask for the same,
by making affidavit, in terms, that
there are settlers desirous of taking up
these lands, and they are needed in the
course of public settlement; at the
same time some one must make a de
posit with the government to pay for
said survey. In time the government
issues scrip or certificates- fer land to
pay for the same. This was intended
to apply only to the townships, or lo
cality, wherein the surveys were made
originally. VanWyck claims they sur
vey arid wastes, impregnable moun
tains and vast canyons, draw their
scrip, and locate it on fertile valleys
and tl e- cream of the yet unoccupied
lands to pay for surveying this useless
and inaccessible country, to the future
exclusion and use of these fertile lands
by the actual settler and homesteader,
and we guess he's about right on that.
By the way, a friend, lately from
Washington, tells thii on Van: He
fouad the old gentleman in a Commit
tee room, up to his eyes in "reports,"
old documents and papers, and two
pages trotting out for more continual
ly, while the Senator hunted up the
expense of surveys, who made them.
who signed the applications, etc., etc.
In one instance lie found a man, a rel
ative of a Surveyor General, who had
signed an application for asurvey, was
a clerk in the office, a sutler, and a
Surveyor, at times, himself.
"Useful man, eh? Useful man," says
Van, shoving his 'specs' up, "mighty
useful man. Fills all the places him
self, eh? Look into that, I guess, look
into that. Boy, bring me Volume
XXXXXVIII Government Land Sur
veys I . Hunt that fellow up, I guess.
See who appoints him and holds him
there. Eh, boys?"
Anvbody wh has heard VanWyck
talk can imagine just how he said this
and how the specs came down with a
snap as he began to look for further
testimony.
Monday was the day set apart as
Garfield's Memorial day, and Mr.
Blaine's Eulogy on our late President.
The Capitol was crowded and the
thanks of Congress were tHiidered Mr.
Blaine at the close of his effort, for
"the appropriate memorial address," so
says the record. It commenced at 12:
20 and closed at 1:59 having taken
just one hour and a half. Both houses
then adjourned for the day as a mark
of respect.
Mr. Blaine has disappointed his
friends and surprised his enemies by
Dis memorial address. Disappointed
his friends, perhaps, in that there was
so little politics, and less denunciation
of opponents than they expected; and
surprised his enemies that there was
really so little Biaine and so much
Garfield, contrary to what they had
prophecied.
Mr. Blaine's effort was of a very
high order. It is not sensational, it is
not a stump speech in disguise. While
it can hardly be classed as a great
oration, a profound evidence of states
manship, it is a clear concise expres
sion of the sympathy of the people.
and the estimation in which the late
President was held by the citizens
without regard to class, party, or sect.
It will stand on our parliamentary an
nals as the speech of an able man
thoroughly versed in the knowledge of
the hour and as standing nearest to
President Garfield 'in high official ca
pacity and intimate friendship. It is
this mainly that lends it value.
The appointment of lioscoe Conk
ling to the supreme bench, in the place
of Justice Hunt, lately retired, and of
ex-Senator Sargent, of Cal., to be min
ister to Germany, has been the sensa
tion of the week. As seems to be hfs
purpose. President Arthur surprised
every one. Cabinet, Congress and poli
ticians, by these nominations.
The comments, of course, are va
rious; the butter class of Republican
and Independent papers, haying any
conscience, generally appiove. and
think both nominations in the line of
prndettce and the securing of better
working material in the future.
It is noticeable that the X. Y. Sun,
an anti-Ilepublican paper, says of Oonk
ling: "He is able, learned, independent,
proud and incorruptible."
The X. Y. Tribune, calling itself a
Republican newspaper, with true bas
tard malice, says: "Guiteau has made
a supreme judge as well as a Presi
dent!" and calls Guiteau "Conkling's
disciple."
The average sentiment, however, is
just and fair to the abilities of both
men, and to Arthur's good judgment
in making the appointments.
Another letter comes to hand
from Oseo?o, Iowa, en lorsed as before
and contains the wedding cards of Mr.
and Mrs Douthett. Mrs. Doutkett be
ing formerly Miss Bertha Brown, a sis
ter ef Mrs. A. W. Prole. They ere
married November 1st. 1831. The
Herald congratulates its friends in
almost every state in the Union from
time to time.
The report of the Committee on the
Mormon question is as follows: First,
that'A.'G. Campbell is not entitled to
a seat as delegate from Utah. Second,
that J. Q. Cannon is not entitled to a
seat from Utah, Third, that the seat
is declared vacant.
This virtually, if accepted by Con
gress, remands the question back to
the Territory. If Edmund's Anti-Polygamy
bill passes Congress in the
mean time, the matter will be settled
at another election by something else
than a solid Mormon vote.

"Sheriff Hyers returned from Pueblo,
Colorado, yesterday, with the late eon
tractor, William Winscitt, Esq , known
in various states by various names,
and flourishing in as many various, cu
rious and singular pursuits, profes
sions, dodges and escapades as he had
aliases.
OUESS niS NAME.
' To give some idea ot the man we
learn from C. F. Driscoll, the Archi
tect who with Dr. Black, the trustees
of the M. E. Church, our Sheriff and
others, have been hunting this man up,

These various cognemina wera assum
ed before he became introduced to the
honorable, the board of trai'e and oth
ers in Plattsmouth.
. Since he flourished as the friend of
th M. E. Church and the bankers here,
he has traveled on his shape as Win.
Norton in Stansbury, Mo.; Geo. d' Ai
mer, Las Vegas. New Mexico; and
once more as Wm. Winscott, at Pueb
lo, Colorado, where he dwelt at the
S. E. Corner of Otli and High streets.
HIS REAL NAME
is W. N. Wainscott. He was a Cap

the 4th Mo. Cavalry, Co. G., and fought
a battle on one of the old Bon Homme
farms in that State commonly cor
rupted to Bottum now, where he be
came acq iinted with his wife who was
of that family, and whom he ran away
with when a mere girl and married.
A LETTER.
To show somewhat more of the true
inwardness of the man's carreer, we
reprint a letter furnished us by Mr.
Driscoll, from this woman whom he
now calls wife, though the letter will
show that like all such fellows he has
had several of 'em women we mean
uuder contract at different times.
Mat 3,1831.
Dear Husband: It is with pleasure
I answer your letter, which I just re
ceived, which surprised me very much
for O Darling! I thought you had for
saken me forever, but I don't know
yet but what yon have, but it brings
Joy to my poor broken heart to hear
from you. I got your letter too late to
meet your engagement; I have moved
from Stauberry to Albany, and my let
ters have been held over at Wtanbury.
Darling you wrote as though you would
like to live with me again, but, O no,
that can never be for me to hear, my
own dear Husband, and, a home of my
own? Darling, you said you would
have to have some one to love; it is
very easy for you to find someone f.o
love, that wouldnotbe a hard matter for
me for I can love no one bat you and
I am afraid you are gone forever, re
member darling the loving hours one
year ago to-day; remember, to, nine
long years ago - to-day; remem
ber our happy home and all its Joys,
and for Gods sake! I cannot live the
life I am living now, and, as you say
you will not live with Mrs. Williams,
then give her up, altogether, and go
and prepare us a home and I will come
and be your ever loving and true wife
till death, for God knows I am realy
yeur wife, even, if you did burn up the
Vows on this earth, it is sealed in hea
ven as sure as there is a heaven, for I
have always been true to you in the
beginning and will be true until death,
and as I have always asked your ad
vice. I shall always continue, and now
tell me what to do?
We must live to-gether; I am living
at Mr. Forester's at Albany, they are
all good and Kind; ray health is poor,
I have fallen away untill you would
hardly Know me, for I have got to be
such a little thing; I will send my pic
ture to Tommy and you can see how
thin I am, for I love that blessed boy
for he wrote such Kind letters to me,
when my heart was all broken. George
is going to school here in Albany and
when I told him I heard from you he
Jumped up and down and laughed
and said "Oh Godl my Papa!" then he
laid his head en the floor and cried and
said "can't you be a good papa and get
us a home," it is so hard to live this
way, when you are so capable of mak- j
ing us so happy.
Oh Darling! life is sbert and I pray
to god you will change and begin
anew, for I will freely forgive all. I
cannot write for cryimg and thinking
for my heart is so full of Joy and Sor
row. Write soon. From your wife,

RUN OUT Or HANIBAL.
He was run out of Hanibal, Mo.
once for some, crookedness, and shot a
man at a ball in Kansas. In each and
every place above mentioned and un
der all names and circumstances he
played about the same games con
tracted for numerous and often expen
sive jobs, got all he could advanced
under some subterfuge and then slop
ed, the wife almost always playing the
deserted and to be pitied female left
behind and staying long enough to
throw officers and creditors off the
scent and maybe get together a few
things of value or gifts from the kiud
lv disposed when she again joined the
man of many names.
Here he succeeded in overdrawing
82,000 cr 2500 on the Black, and M. E.
Church block, by sheer bald-faced ly
ing, saying lie had the paid receipts for
material furnished at Omaha and
forgot t bring them down.
Mr. Driscoll has taken great pains to
hunt Winscit down as he being the
Architect might be thought to some
extent to be responsible; besides he
was a victim to the tune of several
hundreds himself. At one time Dris
coll lot him have about 9160 to pay
for material temporarially. Wincett
bought himself a $60 suit, gave anoth
er Architect a $30 suit out of Dris-
coll's money and got some Jewelry
with the remainder, never paying a
cent on the material. Sheriff Hyers
has kept np his credit as a good officer
and one that seldom misses his man
and it is to be hoped the career of this
fellow is at last ended, for when he is
through here his ohaiacter will be so
thoroughly ventilate-1 that further ex
ploits will be impossible.
A QUARTER OF A CENTURY MILE
STONE. The Wheeler Anniversary.
As the Herald gave some sort of
inkling, the friends and neighbors of
Hon. D. Ul "Wheeler and wife thought
the anniversary of their twenty-fifth
wedding day should not pass unnotic
ed, and Saturday, evening a goodly
number of friends met at Mr. and Mis.
Cox's hospitable mansion preparatory
to visiting tlie Wheeler domicile for, a
surprise. . ' . .
From there we all weut.dowa.to
Mr. Wheeler's,, 'sccundem artem,
where we found some already gather
ed to congratulate the host and hostess
They kept dropping -in until a hun
dred guests or more were present.
After a short time spent in pleas
ant converse, we were invited into the
dining room and then and there Law
yer Hartigan removed the cover from
a glittering array of silver ware and
in the, happiest' way expressed the
good wishes and congiatulation of the
entire assemblage and their desire
that Mr. Wheeler and wife accept this
token of regard and esteem Jrom those
wh'j had nainly traversed the just
quarter of a century side by side -with
them. " .
Mr. Wheeler responded in a feeling
manner, when the whole party adjourn
ed te the Perkins house, where our
other host, Mr. McKeever, set forth a
collation, which even in Lent, lent a
charm to' the whole performance with
out which we at least should have

From the Woman's Suffrage column
in the Beatrice Express, which is edit
ed by Mrs. Clara Colby; we clip the fol
lowing. Mrs. Colby attended the Na
tional Woman's Suffrage Convention
as a delegate from this State, and her
account of it in the Express is very in
teresting: The recent National meeting at
Washington was a very jubilee over
the facts first, that after nearly forty
years of wrk on the part of the most
intelligent and patriotic women in
America, ti.e U. S. Senate had at last
given women a standing committee be
fore', which they could present their
claims, thus placiug their demands on
as dignified a footing as the affairs
concerning Indians or railroads; sec
ond, that since their last annual meet
ing three .States had legislated favor
ably for equal suffrage.
Indiana, Oregon and Nebraska are
the banner States for advanced legis
lation on the suffrage question. In the
former it requires but a bare majority
of two successive legislatures to bring
an amendment before the people. Ne
braska, more fortunately situated at
least for this occasion, requires that
an amendment shall be passed by three
fifths of the legislators, and then it
goes directly to the people; so that if
the suffrage amendment shall be suc
cessful next winter in the legislature
of Indiana and Oregon, the poDular
vote will be taken two years later in
those States than in Nebraska. Hence
the present importance of the work in
Nebraska to all of the United States,
and in fact over the world. It is be
lieved that the failure or success of it
here will very largely influence the re
sult in Indiana and Oregon; and if it
shall be Successful in any one of those
States, it will prove a fulcrum from
which such leverage can be brought to
bear on the conservatism and piejudice
of the older States that they must soon
be uprooted. Those who are experi
enced in the work, who have gone
through' the campaigns in Colorado,
Kansas and Michigan, in each of which
States this matter has been submitted
to a popular vote and defeated by a
two-thirds majority, feel very doubt
ful of any success, although they ex
press themselves almost charmed into
belief that we will win. by the reports
which reach them from our State.
If we by united and righteous efforts
ensure the success of the amendment
in Nebraska, they will feel repaid for
their lifelong devotion to liberty and
equality', We shall receive for our fall
campaigh the united assistance of all
the prominent suffragists who can pos
sibly come to our State Beginning
earlv in September the national asso
ciation will hold a series of conven
tions in several of the leading cities of
Nebraska, from which the different
speakers will disperse throughout the
State and speak under the auspices of
the local societies.

of the telephone, for oy the telephone

son of the rates being the same as tel

being a large stock holder in the tele
phone, will not allow any lower tariff

Ed. Herald. We think it is about
time that your numerous readers heard
from us again in this part of the land
It is a general time of health in these
parts, and peace reigns throughout al
of out borders, except where some peo
pie get mad and spout a little.
We must acknowledge the receipt of
the Herald Almanac. It is a finely
gotten up concern, and such almanacs
don t grow on every bush.
Since the new year came in ene of
the tall oaks of Weeping Water has
fallen. Mr. James B. Chase was a man
of letters and of morals. The good peo
ple of Weeping Water will miss Mr
Chase severely.
The village of Weeping Water Is do
ing well, but to say the place is grow
ing and thriving are very tame ex
pressions. The fact is. Weeping Water
is destined te become one of the mag'
ic cities of the west. She will soon
i. umber her inhabitants by thousands,
and probably tens of thousands; and
Teffttawn, or Avoca, is another city in
embryo. The fact is the world does
move, or, the western world at least.
We have not joined the Alliance as

Call for a Special Meeting- of County
Alliauce.
To the Members of the Subordinate Al
liances ot Cass County.
Gentlemen: In response to the
wish of many members of our organi
zation, and as the date to which the
last County meeting adjourned occurs
when farmers will be very busy, it has
been thought best to call a special
meeting at Weeping Water, March 11
1882, at 1 e clock p. m., for the purpose
f completing our County organization
and adopting measures to extend the
organization of Alliances to every pre
cinct in the County. The ratio of del
egates will be the same as before, viz:
Qne delegate for each subordinate Al
liance, and one for each ten members,
or major fraction of ten of the same.
It is recommended that practical,
operative farmers, who may be present
from precinets iu which there is no
organized Alliance, be admitted as del
egates in the ratio of three delegates
for each precinct thus represented.
The committee to draft constitution,
consisting of Messrs. F. J. Spees, Wm.
Dallas, Joseph McCaig, Elmer Ilutch
ins, with the undersigned as chairman,
are requested to meet at 11 o'clock,
same day and place.'
In addition to the above, all mem
bers of the Alliance throaghout the
County, and those who are in favor of
restricting by law the power of aggre
gated capital in the hands of corporate
monopolies, are respectfullyand urg
ently requested to be present.
It is earnestly hoped that the farm
ers of Cass County, having interests

How to Secure Health.
It seems strange that any one wll
suffer from derangements brought' on
by impure blood, when SCOVILL'S
SARSAPARILLA AND STILLIN
GIA, or BLOOD AND LIVER SYR
UP will restore health to the physical
organization. It has been proven to
be the BEST BLOOD PURIFIER
ever discovered, curing Scrofula,
Syphilitic disorders. Weakness of the
Kidneys, Erysipelas, Malaria, Nervous,
disorders, Debility, bilious complaints
and all Diseases of the Blood, Liver,
Kidney's Stomach, Skin, etc A single
bottle will prove a health renewer, for
it ACTS LIKE A CHARM, especially
when the complaint is of an exhaus
tive nature.
BAKER'S PAIN PANACEA cures

nally and internally. - -
TANNER'S . GERMAN OINT

Many persons will take no, medi
cine until prostrated on a bed of sick
ness. This is folly. Nature always
calls for assistance when needed to
throw off impurities. With our habits
of life, it is necessary to render this
help. PricKls Ash Bitters will not
force nature, but acts mildly and ren
ders the assistance required. Try
them. 4t2
