Carl Kramer, of the New York

Everything in its order. Now
comes a patent for an improved, pas
senger head-rest, an article much
needed and of great convenience.
We have not space to fully describe
it, bat when the pillow is filled with
air it forms an unexceptional rest for
the bead, &c, and when not in use,
from all the fixings, leaves a small
package which can be carried in the
pocket, or occupy but a small place
in a valise.
George Bancroft the other day
invited President Arthur to dine
with him, and in his invitation hap
pened to say that he feared the eti
quette of the White House would
prevent him from accepting the in
vitation. The President said in re
ply : "I am allowed to accept invi
tations from the cabinet, the supreme
court and Mr. George Bancroft."
On the person of Roderick Mc
Lean, who attempted to assasinate
Queen Victoria, were found two
letters, one of which, written before
the shooting, said he was compelled
to commit a crime against the
"bloated aristocracy' because of the
insufficiency of the relief offered
him. The second letter, written
after his arrest, said his only object
was to cause public alarm and have
bis pecuniary grievances redressed ;
that he did not mean to hurt the.
Queen, but only fired at the wheels
of ber carriage. He has been in a
lunatic asylum.
The nomination of Mr. Conkling,
as Judge of the Supreme Court, was
confirmed on the 2d inst. The vote
stood 39 to 11 ; of the latter 4 were
republicans, Messrs. Hoar, Dawes,
Morrill and Hawley. Among the 7
democrats were Messrs. Bayard,
Beck,' Johnson and Voorhees . Sen
ator Butler was paired with. Don
Cameron ; Lapham and. JCdmunds
did not vote ; Miller voted' in the
affirmative. Mr. Sargent was con
firmed without opposition.
The eulogy upon the late pres
ident, pronounced by James. G.
Blaine, on Monday, of last week, was
as nearly perfect in every respect as
it could well be, showing both the
virtues of the dead hero, and the
remarkable intellectual powers and
consummate skill of the eulogist.
Although allusion was made to po
litical differences before the pres
ident's assassination, they were such
as were entirely appropriate to the
occasion, and free from any partizan
bias. The address will stand in the
history of these times, so long as
men shall read of Garfield.
We learn from the Dakota City
Eagle of last week that 312 fat cattle
were shipped from Dakota county.
The average weight of the lot was
about 1,435 pounds. They were
owned by Col. Baird and Sons, and
Mr. Carrabine,.of Dakota county,
aud T. S. Ingersol, of Cherokee,
Iowa. The total value of the cattle
was estimated at $24,000. There are
other nice lots in the same county
waiting shipment. These feeders
have another feature added to their
enterprize in the way of keeping a
lot of hogs fattened by following
the cattle, which will add no small
amount to the credit side of the
ledger. .
Five masked men the other night
attempted to destroy the material of
the printing office of the Indepen
dent at Wauhoo, this state. The
trouble grew out of some publica
tion reflecting upon the whisky
traffic of the town. The printer
and editor, having some intimation
of what was threatened, armed
themselves with revolvers and took
their stations, in the printing-office,
and about 12 o'clock at night the
masked rueu forced their way into
the office by the back door, armed
with sledge hammers, and with
revolvers in baud the editor and
printer rushed upon 'the burglars
and ordered them to throw up their
hands, but instead of doiug that
they threw themselves down be
hind boxes, stoves, etc., and as soon
as an opportunity offered rushed on
the editor aud printer, disarmed
them of their revolvers, backed out
of the room, aud made their exit.
Thus the affair ended that night
without bloodshed. Four person?
have since been arrested, charged
with breaking iuto the building.
The trial of George W. Hart, at
Grand Island, this state, for the
murder of Michael Crese ended on
the morning of the 18th by the re
turn of a verdict of murder in the
first degree. The prisoner was asked
by Judge Post if he bad anything to
say why the judgment of the court
should not be pronounced against
him. The prisoner said: "I have
one request to make that you fix
my execution within ten days, and
not to take place on Friday or Sat
urday." Judge Post said : "it is im
possible for me to comply with your
first request, as the law of the state
will not permit you to be exe
cuted within one hundred days
from the time of your conviction."
Prisoner "Then I have nothing fur
ther to say." Judge Post said "On
the other point I will comply with
your request," and proceeded to
pronounce the judgment of the court
that the prisoner be safely kept un
til Thursday, the 15th day of Jane,
1882, and on that day between the
hours of 1 and 3 o'clock, p. m., you
be hanged by the neck until you are
dead, and may the one Great Judge
of us all have mercy on your soul.
An attempt was made to assas
sinate Queen Victoria on the 2d inst.,
at Windsor railway station; when
the Queen was about to enter her
carriage she was deliberately fired
at with a pistol by a man named
Roderick McLean, who was im
mediately seized by several police
men and disarmed, when in the act
of firing a second shot, and taken to
the Windsor police station. No
one was injured. The miserably
clad man who fired the shot was
seized by the excited crowd and
probably would have been violently
dealt with had not the police taken
charge of him and hastened him
away. The queen in the midst of
the excitement entered her carriage
and was driven to the castle. This
is the fifth time that an attempt has
been made on the life of the queen.
The first was iu Jane, 1840, by a
crazy lad named Oxford. He was
sent to the insane asylum for life.
The second time was in 1842, by
John Francis, who was sentenced to
be hanged, but who was transported
for life. The third was in July,
same year, by John Bean, who es
caped with eighteen months' im
prisonment. The fourth was in
1875, by a half-witted "Bush Boy,"
O'Connor, who got off with a year's
imprisonment and twenty lashes.
In the present peculiar develop
ment of crime it appears that neither
the rnlere of republics nor consti
tutional monarchies escape the
wicked intent of the assassin's pur
pose to murder. Qneen Victoria
has given evidence that she is a kind
and good ruler, and we hope will
never lose her life at the hands of
an assassin.
A farmer by the name of Henry
Stroetheck last week was surprised
and overpowered by three masked
men at his home in Keg creek own
ship, Pottawattamie county, Iowa, a
few miles from Council Bluffa, who
robbed him of $8 or $10. Be had !b
the house and about his premises
$3,000, but the robbers failed to make
him tell where it was as his wife
had taken it in charge and her hus
band did not know the precise spot
in which she placed it, and on his
refusal to disclose the place, one of
the men shot him in the "breast, in
flicting, as is supposed, a fatal wound.
Joe Botls, a colored man in Omaha,
has been arrested, charged'with be
ing one of the party and the person
who fired the shot. The evideuce
against him is pointed.
Sheriff Dan Ferbell, of Glen
wood, Iowa, captured last week at
Randolph, Wisconsin, two traiu and
bank robbers, Poke Wells and Bill
Norris, in a desperate hand-to-hand
fight with Wells, in which a number
of shots were exchanged, each re
ceiving several severe wounds.
After wounding Wells in the shoul
der, be then knocked both of Wells's
weapons from his hands, and grab
bing him by the throat, pointed bis
revolver at his forehead and said:
"Now, I've got you. Give np, or
I'll settle your hash." Wells said,
"I've got enough," and surrendered.
They are members of the gang who
robbed the train at Winston, Mis
souri, some time ago, and killed the
conductor; also robbed the bank at
Riverton, Iowa, and got away with
$4,000. Sheriff Ferrell delivered the
prisoners at Hastings, Iowa, to a
sheriff from Missouri, where they
will be takeu and tried for robbery
aud murder.
Steer Fees.
BY BYRON MILLETT.
Officer's fees are creatures of the
law, fixed by the law-making-power.
County Boards are quasi corpo
rations possessing only such powers
as are conferred upou them by stat
ute. By some jurists they are
likened to courts of special jurisdic
tion, capable of acting only as au
thorized by law. Now by keeping
these propositions in mind, bow
stand such bodies toward the subject
under consideration ? If the legis
lature or the commissioner1) acting
in pursuance thereof should require
an official to do unnecessary labor,
can they lawfully pay extra for such
services out of the county treasury?
Most clearly not. Quoting from an
eminent jurist in the decision of a
recent case, "Officers take their of
"fices cum onere, and services re
quired of them by law for which
"they are not specifically paid, must
"be considered compensated by the
"fees allowed for other services."
This principal is universal and ele
mentary, and it has been affirmed
by our Supreme Court, to which
reference was made by the writer
in a former article. A few months
ago a member of our connty board
stated that if he had been aware that
such was the law, the county might
have been saved several hundred
dollars in the way of allowances for
extra work, that custom and usage
had been resorted to in that behalf.
If custom can fix a compensation
for officers, different from that fixed
by the statutes of the State, there
would not be mnch use in calling
upon a legislative body to act on
such matters. Again, it might be
asked how did such custom origin
ate, and who was the originator
thereof? Is it universally known
to the people? Does it exist in
manuscript, or in the minds of a
chosen few? It has also been inti
mated recently by a public servant
that if it is not exactly legal to allow
extra pay to officers, other counties
in the State, such as Douglas and
Lancaster, have done so, therefore
Platte should act accordingly. By
parity of reason, if those counties
should each donate their officials
gold-headed canes, should we do
likewise and make the tax-payers
foot the bill ? The bare statemeut
of the proposition demonstrates its
absurdity. If officers are not satis
fied with the pay the law allows
them, they cannot be forced to toil
for the dear people. Resignation is
always a good defensive weapon.
Counties should pay individuals for
work done in proper cases, just the
same as natural persons, where the
law has given them a discretion to
act, but officers' pay which is fixed
by law should not be iucreased or
made to depend upon the will or
caprice of a subordinate tribunal.
The safe course is for commission
ers to keep within the plain letter of
the law, and if that is defective or
works a hardship, let the proper
remedy be sought at the hands of
the legislature. It is the duty ot
tax-payers to take an interest in the
official acts of their agents, and see
that they perform their duties, and,
when they act right, to give them
what moral support they can.
