In a few days or weeks we may
have something of good news for
those farmers who will have flax
straw for sale. Stack it in good shape,
and bo ready for any good fortune
that may befall. Nothing definite as

The city was startled Friday
morning by the aunouueement of the
death by drowning of Mrs. Jno. Tan
nabill, and, by a stroke of lightning,
of Wm. Smith's oldest daughter, the
particulars of which will be found
elsewhere.
The Franciscan Fathers say that
many of the reports circulated in the
city during the recent small-pox un
pleasantness were untrue, but that,
everything having transpired fortu
nately, it will be best not to refute
them, except in this viry general way.
The David City Social Club, or
ganized for the convenience of the
members who desire to indulge in
liquors, wines and beer, seems to have
its hands fall of litigation. The Press
pronounces it an unlawful business,
and the members lacking in law
abiding qualities.
The Neligh Republican gives an
account of a monster liou killed by A.
S. Donaldson, which measured seven
feet from tip to tip. He was caught
with two traps on bis feet, and dis
patched with the aid of pitchforks.
It is added that the lion provod to be
an enormous wild cat.
A correspondent says that posts
of soft wood can be prepared for less
thau two cents apiece, so that there is
not a man will live to see them rot.and
this is the recipe: "Take boiled lin
seed oil and stir in pulverized coal to
the consistency of paint." We sup
pose he means charcoal.
We hear several commendations
of the Lister plow lately. There is
no doubt but it is a good implement
in one particular the seed is put
down deep, and the after tillage helps
to retain moisture at aud near the
roots, and it is in this particular that
it is now receiving praise.
O. L. Baker has purchased the
Tattersall barn and the celebrated
stallions Black Knight, and Percy, of
Morse & Cain, and the rigs, horses,

Norfolk Journal: A little game
of "stand and deliver" was attempted
by a couple of (ramps oue evening
this week on a drunken fellow who
resides 3 miles west of town, and who
happened to have sonic $300 on his
person. The game, however, waB
nipped in the bud, and the tramps
routed by a couple of our citizens be
fore the fellows had time to play their
haud6.
In the Loseke neighborhood,
wolves are numerous and likewise a
great nuisance for killing chickens,
6heep, &c. There is said to be one
mountain lion or timber wolf in the
lot. We suggest that it would be fine
sport for our wolf hunters with their
dogs to try their legs on them, and
thus, while enjoying the sport, have
the consciousness of doing a good
deed for their co.untry.
Jokes are free in harvest and
election time. The Ulysses Dispatch
perpetrates the following on Doc.
Euglehardt, a democrat of Butler Co.,
who, however, doesn't ahcays get
beat: "Yes, Euglehardt would be a
sweet-scented geranium to run for
congress. By all means run him for
something, for should Doc. miss his
annual 'knock down' he would be in
worse misery than a bob-tail dog in
fly time."
North Loup Mirror: J. W. Tem
ple, of Columbus, was in town last
week and purchased a lot on the op
posite side of the street, near the
post-office, and will coustruct a large
store building on the same imme
diately, and will put in a large stock
of general merchandise. Ho will also
build a dwelling house in a short
time, but will 'for the present occupy
the house of N. W. Babcock.
Falls City Journal: The Colum
bus Journal is making a strong fight
on the gamblers who infest that city,
and is thereby doing a good thing.
Gambling is a most pernicious prac
tice, without a single redeeming qual
ity. When this passion takes posses
sion of a man it unfits him for any
thing else, and renders him perfectly
untrustworthy. The young especially
should shun it as they would the
gate-way to perdition.
Extensive improvements are un
der way at the Packing House ; the
additions to be made are of two sto
ries 34x36 ft; 12x58 ft; 12x24; 12x16
and 16x20; of one story, 12x18, be
sides a receiving pen and a killing
pen. The additions to the building
will be all brick lined, and the capac
ity of the institution will be three
times what it was, or six-hundred-hog
power, so to speak, and altogether,
the neatest little packing house in
Nebraska.
Next Sunday, August 6th, the
festival of Portiuncula will be celebra

Seward Reporter: Tom Sanders'
children cnated quite a sensation on
Monday. His second son, about four
years old, (ell off the refrigerator and
broke one of the bones in bis left arm,
aud his little girl got one of her fin
gers caught in the cogs of a clothes
wringer, taking the end of the finger
entirely off. The oldest boy went off
somewhere and could not be fouud
until after dark. Tom says he got
them "rounded up" after a time, and
the injured ones are doing well.
The late number of the Nebraska
Farmer contains a portrait of Dr.
Geo. B. Loring, the preseut U. S.
Commissioner of Agriculture. The
Dr. is a very handsome lookiug man,
and certainly well-informed on agri
cultural subjects. His eloquence is
described as fervid, fluent, forcible
and glowing, his voice strong and
musical, his countenance expressive,
and his physique perfect, large, manly
and graceful. As he is to deliver the
address at the coming State Fair,
these qualities will be appreciated.
In some remarks concerning a
teachers institute recently held( at
Tekamah, the Burtoriian says "there
was a pleasing absence of anything
like the staud-up-John-and-take-your
coat-off system, or the even more de
testable lightning-calculator-gasp-for-breath
solution of mental problems.
It has neither beeu an admiration so
ciety ; an embroidery school, or a
kiss-me-quick-and-goanniversary,but
two weeks of downright mental
work." Nebraska, all around, gives
good evidence of improvement in
school affairs. "
Boone County Aryus: Last week
a serious affray occurred on Plum
Creek, between a Mr. Lewis Blood
and James Garten. For some time
past there has been an ill feeling ex
isting between the two families, which
finally culminated on Thursday last
in Mr. Blood striking Garten a terri
fic blow on the side of the head with
a hoe and inflicting a dangerous
wound, completely severing the ear.
The wound was fully 1. inch in
depth and will probably destroy the
ear. Mr. Blood was arrested the next
day and plead guilty, whereupon
Justice Boardmau fined him in the
sum of $25, and costs amounting to
$11.
We are in receipt of the Illustra
ted Supplement to the Nebraska State
Journal, a very fine production, cred
itable alike to the enterprise of the
Journal Co., aud the good judgment
of the business men of the capitol
city, whoso advertisements made it
possible. The chief illustrations are
the Btate capitol as it will look when
finished, the new B. & M. depot, the
post-office and U. S. court-house, the
university, and portraits of Gov.
Nance, and other notables, with a
bird's eye view of the city. Besides
these, there is an almost bewildering
mass of historical and statistical in
formation. Altogether, the supple
ment is an honor to the Magic City
and the State which has done so much
for her.
E. M. Sparhawk tells us tbat one
of his fields of corn was planted to
corn last year, and, to get the stalks
(which had not been fed down close)
out of the way, he used a sulky plow
with five horses, and plowed ten
inches deep, giving the stalks no
chance to dispute with him the occu
pancy of the soil. Some places of the
field that bad always before been too
wet in nioiBt seasons are now in good
tilth, and ho says the stand is just
about perfect on the sixty acres. This
is the deepest plowing we have heard
of, and, as we have a notion that deep
plowing, thorough pulverizing and
plenty of manure are requisites to
good crops, we shall remember to ask
the yield of corn from Mr. Spar
hawk's field.
Considering the importance of the.
interests involved, it is a wonder that
the bawdy houses of the town have
not been permanently closed. Good
government, decency, good morals,
family peace and individual happi
ness ail concur in bringing about this
result. Untold evil has already been
done here, such as can never be rem
edied; we are informed tbat even
young boys (who are generally ready
to ape the bad deeds of their elders,
and who seem much more susceptible
to the influence of bad than of good
example) have been corrupted in
body and soul. While we do not
think that parents are responsible for
the acts of their children, there is no
doubt but parents and friends have
great influence over youth, and it is
undoubtedly true that many fathers
and mothers do not cultivate that
close and confidential intimacy with
their sons and daughters tbat would
induce the latter to make them confi
dantes in matters of affection. The
youth need the counsel (plain, honest,
common-sense advice) of those who
are older and wiser, and, in the ab
sence of it, they may be led astray by
the wicked and designing who find or
make an opportunity. There is noth
ing more important with the young
than theformation of character, and
this lesson should be inculcated at
every opportunity, for if anything
human is valuable, for time and for
eternity, it is character. Those who
engage in criminal practices of any
kind are nndermining their good
character, destroying their health,
making themselves not only unfit but
incapable of true friendship, dishon
oring their relatives, and laying up
for themselves trouble, care, disease,
early death, and never-ending injury.
Our life and our destiny is much what
we ourselves make iL
Killed by iMeRtBlag;.
Thursday night last, the lightning
was tearfully vivid in this region, and
in oue household played terrible
havoc.
William Smith, a plasterer, livif
near the Loupe river, opposite Lost
Creek station, aud ten miles west oi
Columbus. On the night of the storm
there were iu the house, Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, two daughters, Mary Ann and
Harriett, two younger daughters, and
two sons.
The daughters slept up stairs, at the
south end of the story and a half
house, the two younger on the east
side, the two older on the west side,
a window being between the two
beds. The storm coming up, the older
daughter, Mary Ann, got up and
closed the window and lay down
agaiu. In a very short time after
wards, the house was struck at the
south end, shattering every studding
but one aud tearing off tho plastering
aud 8idiug. All the members of the
family were more or less stunned and
unconscious, Mrs. Smith being the
first to recovercousciousness, when it
was found tbat Mary Ann was dead,
and Harriet bliud a fearful black
mark across the eyes. Harriet did not
become conscious for an hour aud a
half.
The other members of the family
were not seriously injured.
There were two tall trees near,
branches of which hung over the house.
Oue was struck, some of the leaves
being scorched. The metal on a sew
ing machine and an accordeon was
melted. A gun in one of the rooms
was struck and the wood-work on it
shattered, but the gun was not dis
charged. The remains of the daughter, Mary
Ann (aged 18 years and 6 months),
were followed (o their resting place
in the Columbus LViiiHcry Saturday
last, by a large number of friends. The
deceased was a pious young lady and
highly respected in the neighborhood
of her home, and by all of her ac
quaintances elsewhere.
--J. W. Early, Esq., Co. Treasurer,
in his recent trip to Lincoln, paid over
into the state treasury $6,016.21 ; on
the 2d of May he paid over $7,543.80,
aud on the 5th of January last $3,
358 52, making in all, this year, so far,
$16,918.53. He tells us that the valu
ation of property in Platte is away
out of proportion with the remain
der of the state, and that a reduction
could easily be effected. He thinks
it could be reduced one-third. There
is something radically wrong with
our whole system of revenue. While
the law requires prororty to be as
sessed for its cash value, it is a noto
rious truth that this provision is a
dead letter, and the assessors are each
virtually left to his own sweet will,
whatever that may be, and hcuce it
happens that in oue precinct of a
county property may be assessed at
one-fifth its cash value while in an
other it is one-fourth or one-third,
aud the same state of affairs may ex
ist as between different counties in
the state. For instance, we are in
formed that Lancaster county with
all her known wealth of railroad and
other property is assessed at five mil
lions, while Platte, with perhaps
about one-fourth as much property,
is assessed at $2,200,000, which is not
the fair tbiug. We bear an unequal
share of the burden. The l&to Vin
cent Kummer, for many years Treas
urer of our county, thought it would
be a great step forward to create the
office of county assessor, because
greater uuiformity in valuations could
he expected from one man than from
fifteen or twenty, and in this he was
seconded by most of the county treas
urers aud other officers versed in the
wordings of our preseut system.

Friday morning, John Tannahill's
folks, on waking, found Mrs. Tanna
hill missing, aud on searching the
premises were shocked to find her
dead body in the cistern, which con
tained four or five feel of water. The
cistern is located in the kitchen, and
it is supposed that, dreaming of some
of the children falling in, she had
gone to see, and accidentally fallen in
herself.
Coroner Heintz summoned a jury
consisting of W. B. Rochon, Ed.Gons,
John Stnpfel, Albert Stenger, Chas.
Rickly and Christ. Sissin, who ren
dered a verdict that she had come to
her death by drowning, aud nobody
is to blame.
She leaves a husband and three
children to mourn her loss, and they
have the heartfelt sympathy of our
entire community in their sad be
reavement. For the Journal.
If Rev. Franklin Pierce tbinkB there
are good reasons why women should
not vote, I wish he wonld speak them
right out in plain English. Some of
us have become a little rusty, and at
this busy season we have not time to go
to our dictionaries and grammars for
help. When he puts his arguments
in such language as ordinary mortals
can understand, if brother Gerrard is
unable to meet them, I know a woman
or two who will try to help him out.
It is really too bad to call on Mr.
Gerrard, here in the middle of July,
to wrestle with such a sentence as
Mr. Pierce closes his last article with.

"Quirks and Quibbles havo no part
in the search for Truth."
Mr. Pierce says, "compact" savors
of nullification. Townsend's analysis
saya our present constitution is a
compact of the people.
Pierce says,. "The truth is, moral
obligation is not iu any degree con
tingent upon consent." If bis wife
bad not consented to marriage with
him would she be under any moral
obligation as bis wife? Theu, is it
not the truth tbat the whole obliga
tion was contingent upou her consent?
Webster says, Law Is tho appointed
rule of a state for the control of its
inhabitants. Mr. Pierce says human
laws are only for the government of
men who do not recognize moral
claims. He admits that men are
kings, and ridicules the idea of mak
ing woman queen by making her
equal with man. Thus we find him
at variance with authority or common
sense every time he seeks an argument
to sustain the statement that the "bal
lot represents physical power alone."
He says that I have failed to prove
the contrary. He cannot prove that
the moon is not made of green cheese,
and we do not ask a man to prove a
negative when the assertion has no
basis in common sense. But I will
try to make it so p'.aiu tbat he need
not err therein. My ballot represents
me, my conclusion, intellectual and
moral. When counted, it counts for
me. My share in the result goes on
through eternity, and I am responsi
ble for the choice or conclusion. It
is my "say" in a government that
holds out a thousand rewards to gov
ern, to one threat of punishment for
(hose who refuse to be governed. We
do not physically hold the baud of the
thief so he cannot steal we make a
law to govern him aud if he will not
be governed we physically punish
him.
Now, so far as the ballot represents
any other thing than the punishment
of those who refuse to be governed,
it does not represeut physical force,
and when Mr. Pierce says "moral
power is a higher power than physic
al, and more truly dominant, he only
needs to look in Webster to find tbat
he has given his third proposition
away, for dominant means governing,
and if the ballot is dominaut it must
more truly represent moral power
than physical.
When be attempts to divide man up
and say ho is so much moral, so much
intellectual, so much physical, then
says the controling man is physical
alone, he verges toward the absurd.
Whilst he is studying this question,
having commenced perhaps with
Greek and Latin, when he gets down
toward the a-b-c, let me commend
few political maxims to his notice
that havo the American savor :
1st. The just powers of govern
ment are derived from (he consent of
the governed.
2d. That government under which
the rights of all persons are not
equally protected, is organized injus
tice. 3d. Under a genuine Republican
government there are no political
distinctions of "birth."
4th. Where there is no governme nt
the weak must surrender to the strong,
(to) mere physical force and brutal
ity.
Next. The Omaha Bee says that
the Mormon women vote the tickets
put iuto their handB, and intimates
that the womanly woman anywhere
would follow their example. If he
points the women of his acquaintance
to the polygamous Mormons for an
example, few of the Nebraska people
will desire him for an educator. I
once heard a woman in Utah say : "I
told my husbaud he ought not to let
me go there" and her companion re
plied, "well its my father's business
to keep me straight, so I'll go," thus
disclaiming any responsibility for
their conduct. Though this may seem
very womanly to the editor of the Bee,
civilized society teaches woman to
keep her own conscience. Then his
argument about sustaining the decis
ion of the ballot by the power of
arms amounts to a muscular qualifi
cation for the vote, and the question
arises how muscular must he be. If
we fix the standard high we would be
compelled to turn over the govern
ment men with strength of the large
negro Curry It appears to me that
when men have so low an idea of gov
ernment by the people as to wish to
make it depend on a physical qualifi
cation, thus degrading our govern
ment to the standard of no govern
ment. (See maxim No. four.) It is
is time for them to consider whether
the people would not be benefitted by
having them change places as voters
with some short-haired, cracked
brained, half-witted women, on the
principle that half common sense is
better than physical force as a govern
ing power.
