I.lfe .cene.
All over the United States there
appears to be regular winter weath
er, especially in the eastern, middle
and western state, accompanied by
snow, and in some iustances ex
treme cold.
Within the same limits an unusual
number of very destructive fires
have been reported, as well as a large
uumber of horrible murders and
shocking suicides. The past month
has been one filled with reports of
sensational occurrences of terrifying
deaths from accidents, wiltul mur
ders, suicides, buruiug, freezing,
drowniug, smothering and disease
and sufferings almoHt beyond de
scription, together with numerous
cases Of domestic trouble and afflic
tion almoBt beyond the power of
woman or man to bear.
Those who are not personally
touched by such occurrences and
troubles seem to heed them not, until
suddenly overtaken by them, then
they are stricken down and over
whelmed, and soon follow in the
wake of other victims to destruction.
If there is a place in the universe
where every one should be thor
oughly instructed and informed on
all subjects connected with the dau
gers and troubles of this life, and
how to avoid all the evils prevalent,
it is here in this world. Every one
should make an effort to think and
act aright, that we may thereby
escape those horrible life pictures
that destroy so many of the human
race.
To the present time no less than a
dozen bills on the rai'road question
are before both houses of the Ne
braska legislature, exclusive of joint
resolutions and memorial to congress,
praying for national legislation. The
Omaha Bee expresses the opinion
that some of the bills introduced
were doubtless gotten up by the
railroad managers and put in the
hands of cappers whom the people
have, so far, uo reason to suspect of
iufidelity. We fear the present un
due excitement against railroad cor
porations, on account of their ap
parent unjust discriminations on ac
count of freight rates, will lead our
legislators to hastily pass laws that
will operate severely and unjustly
against railroad interests. In all
matters of legislation great care aud
deliberation should be given to
every subject in preparing laws to
regulate it, without permitting per
sonal and excited feelings to control
the actions of legislators. The num
ber of bills already introduced show
conclusively the feeling existing
among the people upon this sub
ject, who in turn, are pressing its
importance upon their representa
tives and senators. That some law
or laws will be passed regulating
this interest at tho present session of
the Nebraska legislature there is but
little doubt; aud iu the mean time,
we can only hope that they may be
prepared with care, due delibera
tion, and with the full purpose to
deal justly aud equitably with all
parties and interests involved iu the
question.
The ir embers of the Legislature
appear 'o be active and industiioue.
Iu the House, up to the 2d inst., one
hundred and thirty-eight bills have
been introduced, aud over two hun
dred are now peuding in both
houses. We notice that a number
of new bills are still being introduc
ed into each branch of the legislature
daily. What disposition will ever
be made of so many bills we can only
conjecture, but we venture the pre
diction that a large uumber of them
will never be placed in the statutes
of Nebraska. One bill only has
passed that body at the date above
mentioned, being the bill making
appropriation for the expenses of the
legislature. We have in wur posses
sion the long list ot bills introduced
in both branches of the legislature,
compiled by the Stale Journal, and
hope to be able to give a synopsis of
the list next week to our readers.
Maggie T. G. Mobley, of the
Platte Valley Independant, indulges
iu a lengthy criticism on a brief ar
ticle which recently appeared in the
Journal relative to the custom
amoug politicians of limiting the
term of United States Senator from
Nebraska to six years, or one term.
The Journal thought it was a very
pleasant and agreeable way of bring
incr some consolation in the dark
hour of continuous defeat, aud did
uot dream that our lady friend ot
the Independent would give us 6uch
a neat scoring for trying to obtain
such relief. We cannot see the pro
priety or benefit of continuing the
strife, and will "wait and see, what
will be the result of the precedent
We suggest to our lady frieud the
correction of one supposed state
Btatement of fact. Was not Mr.
Tipton elected a second time?
Senator Saunders will accept
our thanks for favors. Among oth
er documents is the Bpeech of Hon.
J. S. Williams, of Kentucky, recent
ly delivered in the United States
senate, on the bill for the protection
of domestic animals from contagions
diseases. The speech contains strong
arguments in favor of the bill as a
means of eradicating from onr do
mestic herds and flocks all malig
nant and infections diseases now
known to exist, and to protect them
in the future againqt such plagues,
whether they are to come from for
eign countries or are to spread from
6tate to state.
A discussion incidentally occur
red in the Nebraska seuate on the
4th, connected with the question of
taxing railroad property aud earn
ings, in which Senators Aran Wyck
and Geri participated. The former
gentleman claiming that the law
allowing railroad companies to list
its own property and put its own
value on it was not right, and that
there was something radically wrong
in the mode of assessing that kind of
property. He thought the question
had to be met and met here. The
same gentleman objected to refer
riug questions upon this subject to a
packed committee, and charged that
the railroad committee had been
packed by Lieut. Gov. Cams and
others -with railroad men, who
sought to strangle every measure
whose purpose it was to restrict the
growing abuses of these corpota
tions. His speech was bold and
quite lengthy.
Small-Pox.
Small-pox in New York is pre
vailing to an alarming extent and
increasing. The board of health is
making an effort to check it, and
treating infectious. It is stated that
the present facilities are insufficient.
From Sioux City of a recent date
we learn that the small-pox for sev
eral weeks has been ragiug witn
great fatality in Jefferson, Union
County, D. T., a settlement distant
from Sioux City about twelve miles.
The settlement consists mostly of
Canadian-French, among whom it
has made sad havoc. The disease is
said to be the black small-pox and
is believpd to have been communica
ted by a party of Russian Menonite
emigrants, who passed through
Sioux City to Yankton, several
weeks since.
an i "
The democratic members of Con
gress by their actions seem fixed in
their purpose to give trouble in
counting the vote for President. We
supposed the several states did the
votiug and "counting, and all that
Congress had to do was to be pres
ent and witness the opening of the
returns from the several states and
see that tho footings made of the
ballots were correct, and hoar the
declaration from the lawful author
ity who had received a majority of
the votes, and then announce that
individual elected President. It will
avail very little to any party, to at
tempt to set aside tho election of a
President, who has received a ma
jority of the electoral votes as pro
vided by the constitutiou of the
United State.
Jack Daily, a Union Pacific night
switchman in the lower yard in
Omaha, met with a terrible accident
last week, being caught and crushed
about the hips between a freight car
and tho pilot of an engine, and held
in that position from half past ten
until eleven at night before being
released, and was at once taken to
his home, and died about one o'clock
in the morning.
Fifteen thousand dollars to be
offered iu premiums at Nebraska's
next State Fair, is what the board of
managers propose to offer. They
also propose to increase the accom
modations at their fair grounds be
sides other improvements. The fair
this year will commence on the 12th
day of September and continue one
week.
In the Nebraska senate on the 3d
the President announced the re
apportionment of oommitteeB as fol
lows: Judical, Senatots Harrington,
Powers, TVflt, Taylor, Balleutine,
Burns, of York, Perkins, Dinsmore.
Baker and Doaue. Legislative, Sen
ators Evans, Myers, Wells, Burns, of
Dodge, Tuik, Zehruug, Cady,Morse,
Price, Smith, Coon and Turner.
During the discussion of the
Coercion Bill in the House of Com
mons on the 2d iust., tho home rulers
headed by their leaders, arose in a
body and left the house, excitedly
shouting, '-Privilege! privilege!"
There being no longer any opposi
tion, leave to introduce the coercion
bill was carried without a division.
The House of representatives has
adopted the resolution for counting
the Electoral votes, which is sub
stantially that provided by the con
stitution of the United States and
the laws adopted by congress in pur
suance of that instrument. Certain
ly a wise and judicious disposition
of the question.
Henry Fairbanks, of Petrolia,
Ont., shot himself through the head
the other night at Ann Arbor. Mich.
He had spent the evening in com
pany with two women, who said
they came from Detroit. One of the
women named Leightou, claimed
that the deceased was her husband.
Two persons, who gave their
uames as T. F. Flynn and G. A.
Cunniugham,have been arrested and
brought to Bloomington, Neb., by
sheriff Pierce, who are believed to
be the persons who robbed the safe
at the B. & M. depot recently at
Bloomington.
The Park theater, a four-story
brick structure, at Chicago, was
burned one morning last week. The
bnilding cost 560,000. Families and
lodgers who occupied the upper
stories had a wonderful time in
making their escape, but they were
all rescued.
The senate has appointed a spe
cial committee consisting of Daily,
Van Wyck and Graham to draft a
bill regulating railroad freight and
passenger tarriffs, and to prescribe
how railroad property shall be
taxed.
A :" Stale Capital.
Editor Journal : The subject of
the removal of the present capital of
the State to a more central location
must ever be a subject of discussion.
It is unjust to think of making any
further appropriation for the erec
tion of State capitol buildiugs in oue
corner of the State. It is impossi
ble to suppose that the poopte of the
State will long submit to the incon
venience aud injustice resulting to a
very large portion of Hie State by
retaining the capital at Lincoln, and
with this view, I take the liberty of
suggesting to the legislature now in
OCT C?
session, a location tor a new capital
which will afford all 'the conven
iences of a railroad centre, aud at
the same time will be reasonably
ceutral for all portions of the State.
In fact, there is no other point in
the State equal to it iu every sense
of the word.
That location is at or near Lost
Creek Station, on the O., N. & B. H.
R. R., ten miles not th west of Co
lumbus, iu Platte county.
There need he no jealousy on the
part of auy aspiring city in making
this point the site of the new capital.
This point can be made a railroad
Ci-ntre with very little expense. Ten
miles extension from Columbus of
what is known as the L. & N. W
R. R. will give the whole south
eastern part of the State a direct
railroad communication with this
point and will make the distance
from the southeast corner counties
a trifle over oue hundred miles
Omaha aud the eastern parts of the
State will be within one hundred
miles of this new capital and can be
reached directly by the U. P. R. R
Dixon and other northeastern coun
ties will he in direct communication
by way of the Sioux City & Nor
folk R. R. to Norfolk and from
thence by the O., N. & B. IT. R. R.
and the extreme distance will be but
a trifle more than one hundred miles.
The Missouri and Niobrara river
counties will be in direct railroad
communication with this new capi
tal site, by way of the north branch
of the Fremont & Elkhorn Valley
R. R. extending from Norfolk
northwest to Niobrara village. This
road is already nearly completed to
Creighton, in Knox county, within
about twenty miles of Niobrara
village and the extreme distance
will uot much exceed one hundred
miles. The Albion branch of the
O., N. Ss B. II. It. R. will soon be
extended into the northwest and
will afford a direct communication
from Antelope, Greeley, Wheeler
and Holt counties. The upper Loup
country will be in direct communi
cation by the newly proposed branch
road of the U. P. Co. leaving Loft
Creek Station aud going up the
Loup valley to St. Paul, in Howard
county, intersecting at this point the
Grand Island branch and from
thence up the North Loup valley.
The west will be directly connect
ed with this point by way of the
maiu line of the V. P. R. R., and the
distauce to the extreme portions of
the agricultural districts of Nebras
ka will not exceed one huudred and
fifty miles, while no very considera
ble portion of the soil beyond tin
radius of 100 miles west will ever be
used for general agricultural pur
poses. ,
The southwest portions of the
state will be able to reach this point
by way of Hastings, Grand Island
and Central City. Aud as to dis
tance will be situated about as the
northeast and southeast portions ol
the state are.
An important fact will he noticed
in connection with this location, aud
that is every railroad which I have
mentioned, as giviug this point a
direct railroad connection, is either
completed or iu process of construc
tion, with a certainty of being com
pleted during the coming year,
except the 10 miles extension of the
L & N. W. aud the upper Loup
river R.R. and these will become cer
tainties within the next two years
should this point be selected.
Columbuj. will not contend longer
with her rivals for the capital, but
will unite with them on any central
location.
We ask the members of the legis
lature of the state to examine this
subject, and take some action which
looks to the permanent interests of
the State.
The city of Lincoln has a popula
tion of 14,000 inhabitants, with most
of the State institutions. There is
not another city in any State of the
Union which has so successfully
absorbed all the institutions of State
as this city. She no longer has auy
claim or right to claim the State
capital. Her prominence as a city
is already secured, and she must now
concede the capital to other and
more central locations.
The proas of the State ought to
take high grounds against auy furth
er appropriation of money to be
expended at Lincoln for capital
buildings.
There are several other features of
interest in this connection which I
will hereafter mention.
Columbus Citizen.
Rising: City Ilem.
Rising City, Feb. 1, 'SI.
Editor Journal : It has become
rather a serious question in this part
of Nebraska whether the people
when sick shall have medical at
tendance, or prescribe their own
pills and swallow their own medi
cated nostrums, or, die and end it.
Dr. Englehard, West Butler's faith
ful and accomplished physician for
J the past nine years, one month back
quit practicing; and now Dr. Nay I or
has notified the people that he will
answer no inc re calls. We are not
irivcn lo sickness here, only when
we cauuot nelp it, but lor all that,
the field is a good one for a thor
oughly competent physician, aud the
rido is extonsive.
Protracted meeliugs are still con
ducted by the Methodists, but as yet
without any outside success.
The oung folks here still marry
and are given in marriage, notwith
standing old mother Shipton's
prophesy for, 18S1.
Delsmau & Co. are having a two
day's auction, and then we suppose
Johnny will bid farewell to Rising
City. The firm of Jouveuat & Co.
are also trying to close out their
stock. Times are close here, and
business men, as well as farmers,
feel it.
Thanks to the legislators at Lin
coln for their excellent selection of
United States seuator; now will
they please -rive their constituents
some good, just and much-needed
railroad legislation t the fight tor
it at Lincoln may he severe, but let
it commence, and iu earnest, too.
Why noi ? Other stales have partly
won the t'uht, and why should not
Nebraska ?
Our weather indicator, W. P.
Wetzel I, moves to Saline county,
this spring.
The lyceum at the hall is still a
success and well attended by both
young and old.
We have but one saloon, but
would like to trade that off for three
drops ot pure water and give some
boot, too, to any location desiring
such an institution. Why Not?
Ed. Journal: I have for some
time, past been traveling in different
sections of Platte county, and have
ascertained a great many valuable
facts concerning the conditiou of our
county. I find that Platte county is
inhabited by a class of thrifty, go-ahead
people, and in Bpite of the poor
crops of last year, find they are as a
rule cheerful and hospitable, anx
iously hoping for an early spring, so
that they may commence their farm
ing operations, feeling assured that
they will have an abundant crop the
coming fall ; and indeed present in
dications go far to show that their
expectancies will be fulfilled. Iu
my sojourneyings here I find the
people of Platte county are deter
mined to give their children educa
tion if possible, for our prairies are
dotted with school houses; some are
good buildings, others are not so
good. Most of these school houses
have all the conveniences required,
both inside and out, while others are
only supplied with inside appurten
ances. I noticed that among the list
is the Po8tvilIe school hou.se. This
vicinity is inhabited by a class of
industrious farmers, and judging
from appearances they are in com
fortable circumatances, for they have
good dwelling, some of them have
considerable stock, and their chil
dren are com fortably clad, and they
have built :i good school house; yet,
they lmve oniittod fhp one thing so
much needed iu such a place, namely
an nuthouse. When it will be re
membered that this school is attend
ed not only by young children, but
also by several young misses and
ladie, from 13 to 1G and perhaps 17
years of age, also several of the
opposite sex of the same age, it will
be seen that such a place is needed,
not only as a matter of convenience,
but is demanded by the laws
morality and decency.
