OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
* &
IT is the Cambridge Clarion
vice the Cambridge Kaleidoscope
with J. M. Hollingsworth as edit
or , J. C. Harlan retiring after
fourteen years' service.
THE vote on U. S. senator in the
legislature , yesterday , gave Hayward -
ward 35 , Thompson 10 , Webster 7.
A committee has been appointed to
draft rules to govern a senatorial
caucus.
A TENDER has been telegraphed
the presidout from Nebraska offer
ing to recruit a regiment of cavalry
for service in the Philippines. T.
J. Majors , H. C. Russell , J.H.Cul
ver , J. D. Gage and C. E. Adams
have their names attached to the
telegram.
A BILL has been introduced in
the senate and house reducing the
number of judicial districts in the
state. Under the proposed bill

ney , Franklin , Harlan , Furnas ,

BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES
P. EAGAN , commissary general of
subsistence , has been suspended
1 from rank and duty for six years
for his ungentlemanly and unsol-
dierly remarks concerning the general -
oral commanding. The sentence
will take him up to within a short
time of his retirement from the
army on half pay , when he will
likely be reinstated.
THE Philippine question took a
lively turn , last Saturday night ,
when the insurgents at Manila , in
the cover of darkness , attacked the
American forces. The battle waged
during tnat night and the follow
ing day , with the result that the
insurgents were driven back and
defeated by the American forces ,
who fought with characteristic
bravery and inflicted heavy pun
ishment on the enemy , whose loss
is placed as high as 4,000 killed ,
wounded and captured. American
loss : Killed , three officers and 56
men ; wounded , eight officers and
199 enlisted men ; two enlisted
men missing. The First Nebraska
did heroic service in the advance.
Seven are reported killed and 26
wounded , in the regiment.
PERHAPS no article that has re
cently appeared in the magazines
has attracted more attention and
comment than the one from the
pen of Mrs. Lew Wallace in the
February number of the Ladies'
Home Journal , in which she
gravely decries the present school
system , which she assails as the
"murderer of the innocents of the
nineteenth century. " Those who
are even little acquainted with the
free school system of America
must stand in utter astonishment
at the exheme views and state
ments made by the lady in ques
tion and must feel chagrined in an
equal degree that so over-wrought
an article should so widely stir the
American heart. The conditions
described by Mrs. Wallace can ex
ist only in the most limited degree
and do not touch the great system
as an entirety. The American it
child of today has the best chance
ever given by a free people for a
free education under the most
favorable circumstances , physical
and mental. They have the best
text-books , the school-houses are
better built , better lighted , and s
provided with better sanitary ar
rangements , every provision for
health and comfort and ready ac
quirement of knowledge in larger
measure than was possible to their
parents is at hand , and the gait
is far from killing , with plenty of ti
time for play and recreation.
When we pass beyond the free or
common schools , there may be
some basis for such an article as
Mrs. Wallace is responsible for ,
bat as touching the free or com S
mon shools of the land it should
r <
be promptly challenged ; not for
its spirit , but for the lack of facts
and the gross over-statement of r <
facts and the unreasonable enlarge-
inent of minor facts and details. tl ;

BARTLEY. ,
A SOCIAL EVENING.
This frolicsome and antiquated
municipality was the scene of a
very merry social affair on Thurs
day evening of last week. Then
it was that Sam Bryan aud Oliver
Bush with a convivial friend or
two drove up to the little hamlet
on the west and returned with
their pelts aud a couple of bottles
filled with condensed cusseduess
and wearing a determination to
distinguish themselves. On arriv
ing Sam made his way to that
popular and swell cafe ycleped the
Star restaurant , halting en route
to shake hands with his shadow
and embrace the friendly lamp
posts as they came by , and there
announced his ability and willing
ness to whip his weight m wil. .
cats , intimating incidentally that
he would find pleasure in mixiu ,
things with Bush. The last named
gentleman ( heaven save the mark )
soon sauntered in with combativeness -
ness in his soul and a gatling gun
in his southeast pocket , and I
an exchange of pleasantries both
began to feel that the other was a
Spaniard and it was his duty as a
patriot to remember the Maine.
Bush retired in good order to the
inner room of the hash-foundry
and Sam followed as far as the
door of the partition to conclude
his remarks. After a spirited in
terchange of hot air Bush got ac
tion on his artillery and after the
din and confusion of battle had
subsided Sam took an inventory
and found that his left hand had
been the means of s < | > | > iii a b I-
let after it came through the par
tition. Bush's action being quite
rude and unexpected Sam was a
trifle embarrassed for the once ,
but he soon recovered his compos
ure and a stool and evinced a
yearning to part his friend's hair
with the latter. He was dissuaded ,
however , by some friends , and
Bush improved the opportunity to
depart without even a formal "our
reservoir. "
Then someone who didn't un
derstand the playful spirit of the
affair telegraphed for Sheriff Neel ,
who made an early call at the Bush
domicile , the next morning , with
the request that the young man
accompany him up town. With a
gesture which might be interpret
ed to mean "Nev' min' , that'll be
all right some dayhe informed
the sheriff that he would be up at
his earliest convenience , or words
to that effect , but the officer argued
that a Bush in the hand was better
than a load of saplings by promise
and his eloquence persuaded the
young man to accompany him. In
the evening he was brought before
Squire Hodgkin's court where a
charge of shooting with intent to
kill had been preferred against
him , and as he couldn't think of
anything to improve matters he
acquiesced with the views of the
county attorney and opined that
the charge was about the right
thing. After pleading guilty his
bond was fixed at $500 and not
being able to furnish it he was re
manded to the keeping of the
sheriff. He now languishes in
durance vile with abundant oppor
tunity to cogitate on the advisa
bility of wearing Krupp guns in
the pocket behind. The case will
come up at the term of court in
the county seat , next week , and
this bold , bad man will doubtless
find that his protracted * and un
ceasing efforts to break into the
penitentiary have been crowned
with SUCCPSS.

Pe-ru-na is one of th - best medi
cines on the market. I have takeu
it every winter for the last four
years. I first tried it , after a long , ,
hard spell of la grippe. I am sure-
that I would of been in my grave-
now had I not used it. I have-
told many others the good it did
me. Everybody said that I had
consumption , and I knew that I
would have it unless I got relief.
Every fall for the last four years-
I take it as a preventive from cold-
I believe that if people knew what
a great preventive Pe-ru-na is theyr.
would have less trouble from that ,
dreaded disease , la grippe. It
never fails. I am well advanced in
life , but I feel that I might live
through many winters with the
help of Pe-ru-na. I never forget
to recommend it to young as well-
as old for all kinds of colds , coughsr
catarrh , etc. I feel it my duty to-
give praise where it is due. I am
and ever shall be grateful to the-
man who discovered Pe-ru-na.5'
Pe-ru-na meets perfectly the con--
