defeated by twenty-three votes. The

It proposed now, instead of the

was justifiable on the ground that
Capt. Dixon was a violent and bad

in Mississippi, but we think the plea

EEroRTS say that there is some
what of a reign of terror in the heart
of the Niobrara on account of the

region arc a rough set of fellows
and the State should, now that they
have captured their leader, not stop
the pursuit until every pony boy in
that region is under arrest and
brought to justice.
Thf.ue is a valley in Knox county,
this Slate, known as "Plum Valley,"
which a correspondent in the Omaha
Bee describes as follows: "As its
name signifies, it is truly a valley of
plums. Intermingled with the tim
ber, which is so prominent a feature
in this valley, are thousands of plum
bushes groaning under their weight
of purple fruit, and at this season of
the year, to those who have lived in
our older States, where orchards are
so numerous, this luxury is appre
ciated. "
Nr.Ain.v forty thousand people
witnessed the scenes attending the
grand reunion of war veterans at
Aurora, III., on the 22d. Among
the arrivals on that day was Lieut.
Gen. P. II. Sheridan, whose coming
created great enthusiasm, and who
was escorted to quarters by a force
of six hundred men with martial
music and flying colors. The grand
event of the day came off in the af
ternoon of attacking, storming and
capturing a so-called rebel fort and
Hag. The attack and fight had all
the appearance ol reality except
there were no dead and wounded.
Fnojr last week' Seward Jlepor
fcr we learn that a gentleman took
a trip in a buggy along the line of
Ihe A. & N. road from Seward to
David City. He reports five camps
of graders between Seward and
Ulysses and they were diligent in
''making the dirt fly." Several miles
of road above Ulysees are being
leveled up and graders were at work
bringing the track up to grade.
There are only a few smalj openings
on the. road between Lincoln and
Soward, and when closed the entire
grading will ho completed. The
prospect for trains running to Sew
ard by the latter part of September
is very good.
i
A coihiesi'oxhext of the Omaha
Jlce writing from Ireland says of the
crop prospects that " every thiug
looks wretched, and rain, rain con
tinually, and unless a change comes
there will be no breadstuff; so hold
up your head, Nebraska. All your
wheat and corn will be wanted, and
at good prices. It is astonishing to
see the quantity of American goods
sold in the small provincial towii9,
such as forks, hay-rakes, scythes, and
a thousand other familiar things
that seem to give you a knowing
wink as you pas? by, and say, " How
goes it, stranger?" Beef is 2-lcts.
per lb., American hams, 18 cts per
lb., and side meat 12 cts per lb."
New Youk, Atlantic City, Cape
May and Wilmington, N. C, were
all visited on the 18th with violent
wind and rain storms, doing consid
erable damage to property in each
locality. The severity of Ihe storm
at some places will compare with no
other one known to the oldest in
habitant. At Ft. Monroe, the rain
fall was five inches, and the shade
trees about the fort went down by
the hundred. At Morehead City,
the large Atlantic House, the largest
hotel in that region, was entirely
demolished, not a vestige being lelt.
There were 150 guests in it, and
there was not a particle of anything
saved by any of them. The guests
did not begin to leave until the
waves were literally breaking the
hotel to pieces.
Gkeat excitement prevailed in
San Francisco on the 23d., in con
sequence of the shooting of the lie v.
J. C. Kallock, by Chas. Dc Young.
DcYoung would have been killed
by the citizens had not the police
interfered and lodged him in jail.
De Young, who is one of the editors
of the Chronicle, changed Kallock
immoralities, and Kallock in a
public meeting replied lo the
charges, and said they had been re
vived by Charles and Milke De
Young, two bastard sons of a
prostitute. Next morning De
Young called Kallock from his
office to the. sidewalk and without
any warning shot him in the breast :
Kallock turned to retreat indoors,
when Dc Young shot him in the
back. Kallock lies in a critical con
dition, and it is hardly possible that
he can live. We should have men
tioned that IIcv. J. C. Kallock was
the workingmen's candidate for
Mayor of San Francisco.

Of course every item of railroad
news is of interest to our local read
ers, and all are anxious to know just
when the A. & N. will reach Co
lumbus. It will be remembered
that Mr. Towno. pledged himself to
have the cars running to Columbus
by the first of March, 1880. We all
know that January and February
arc not good months for building
railroad, and hence it has been gen
erally believed that the new road
would reach us by January 1st. We
are inclined to -believe, from the
manner in which the work is being
pushed forward, that they meau to
be here even before that time. On
this subject the Butler County Press
says :
" By the best information we can
get on the subject from reliable par
ties, the cars will bo running over
the Lincoln & Northwestern, to the
Platte river before the first of Jan
uary. This will give our farmers
the benefit of competition on part of
the wheat crop, and on all the corn
and pork, of which (here will be a
large amount. It will bo the com
mencement of an era of better times
to the farmers and business men of
Butler county. David City, with
the advantage of competition in
shipping, and the energy and fair
dealing of her business men, is des
tined to be one of ihe very best
towns In central Nebraska."
THK CAPITAL CITY.
What 'o. Commissioner WKc
.earns ol the nr Itnilronri.
En. Jorux.w. : To-day, Aug. 21st
is a fearful hot day here in Lincoln;
the thermometer marks 100 in the
shade. Business almost suspended.
The people of Lincoln voted yester
day on bond proposition for the
branch of the U. P. l. II. to run
from Valparaiso to this place, the
amount 30,000 dollars which failed
to carry in first ward. The road
will be built all the same, they say.
I have it from good authority that
the graders will be in Columbus this
week on the L. & N. W. road. Track
laying commences next week at this
place, and will be pushed to rapid
completion. The grading is finished
to Seward, and piling all drove so
that the track will be laid rapidly.
From Seward to Ulysses and David
City the graders are at work in
strong force. I am authorized o say
that the cars will be running to Co
lumbus on the L. & N. W. in De
cember. The iron for the entire
line is purchased and the most of it
delivered, so there will be no delays
in the rapid construction of the
road. The A. St X. will also build
a road from Lincoln to Fremont in
side of a year. The Company has
the bottom to do all that they agree
to do. George H. Xeltleton is the
managing spirit, with Joy to back
him.
The trip to Lincoln through this
portion of what was once called the
Great American Desert is a matter
of surprise and wonder lo the be
holder; language cannot convey an
idea of the abundance of farm pro
duce grown and growing on the
rich soil of this district. The writer
hereof traveled over a part of this
territory seven years ago, and was
astonished to see the remarkable
change that has taken place in that
time; then a few settlers had squat
ted here and there over the naked
prairie, that looked fearfully lone
some, not a tree or bush to mark
the spot or guide the wanderer.
Now grown with beautiful groves,
orchards and shrubs so that the
places were not known to be the
same. J. Wise.

shop being at David City.
The Congregational Society build
a church here this fall, which will
be quite an addition to our city.
It is also expected that the G.A.R.
post of this place will build them a
hall, in which to hold their meet
ings. Col. lloherts, one of our grain
buyers, and an old resident, has the
best house in town.
In a trip to David City last Satur
day we saw on the farm of Willis
A. Olmstead, not the old sod-house,
but a nice new frame one, and we
think between Summit and David
City nearly half the grain was still
in the shock. A walk through the
city of David caused us to see many
improvements, several buildings in
various stages of completion. The
Press ollice enlarged, the editors
having recently added to their print
ing facilities a jobber. The city can
also now boast of having two banks,
and wlien the new K. I. reaches il
we expect it will infuse new life and
activity in all the various branches
of business and trade for which the
