dispensable to one who fills a repre

Recently, one of our citizens wrote
to the Senator concerning the peusion
bill, and, as usual, always attentive
to the. interests of the people, he gives
an Insight into the situation, as ap
pears in the letter below :
U. S. Senate Chamber,
Washington, Aug. 3d, 1882.S
My Dear Friend : Received yours,
enclosing one from Mr. Barrett.
The bill you speak of has been a
long time before the committee. I
need not tell I am (or it, and for the
largest pension to disabled soldiers.
There is uo danger iu paying them too
much. But the committee is divided,
some think there should be no more
increase, others that another class of
disabled soldiers those helpless and
dying by diseases asthma, consump
tion, chronic diarrhoea, and the many
diseases incideut to army lire, should
be given the same pensions as those
having lost an arm or leg. I mention
these to show causes of difference in
the committee.
My opinion is that the result will
be an increase of pensions to those
having lost a limb, but it cannot now
be done this session. Our pension
laws need other changes.
Our army was composed of the best
portion of the population in ability,
and in social position, the man-in the
ranks was the peer of the man who
wore the shoulder straps. And there
is no reason why the private who lost
an arm or leg should not receive a
pension equal to the officer command
ing the company or regiment Don't
yon think so ?
The permanently disabled soldiers,
whether by loss of limb or disease,
will be more liberally pensioned.
This nation will never object to
large pensions to the men who saved
this Republic, particularly when mil
lions are recklessly and extravagantly
squandered.
Yours,
C. H. Van Wyck.

A prominent citizen of Omaha
who left here recently on an eastern
trip, and has been in Illinois, Indiana
and Michigan, in a letter from Detroit
to J. T. Allan, of this city, says:
"Nebraska iB well to the front every
where. A great change has taken
place from three or four years ago.
People are looking for information as
to its advantages, and there will be a
large movement of forehanded farm
ers to the west. As soon as the har
vest is secured they are going ont to
look at the country. The universal
demand is for land, for farming and
stock growing combined, which is
proving so profitable in Nebraska
to-day. For this pnrpose no other
region in the west presents such ad
vantages. Here are hundreds of
thousands of acres of rich native pas
tures unused, cheap lands which will
soon rise rapidly in value, abundant
water and convenient markets, east
aud west. The great golden beit-iQ
Nebraska will soon be occupied and
teem with wealth." O. Republican.

The Boone County ATeifw sppms to
be trying to create the impression that
Platte county has a multiplicity of
candidates for official honors.
The yews anuounces Hon. Loran
Clark of Albion as a candidate for
State Treasurer. John W. Early Is
Platte county's candidate for that
position, after whom, of course, Mr.
Clark would naturally be the next
choice of the delegation from Platte.
Doubtless, either would make a faith
ful and efficient treasurer, and of both
of them we shall spetk again.
It has always been the custom of
the Journal not to make strife be

office, but impartially present for con

or 'ntentlon to vry from that custom

A very severe rain, wind and hail
storm visited a locality a few miles
north of Lincoln, on the morning of
the 8th ult. The heaviest part of the
storm reached the State farm, where
the corn was somewhat damaged. In
the course of the storm groves were
bent down and snapped oil like pipe
stems, and went flying over the
prairie like feathers. In some cases
the corn was blown ont of the ground
by the roots, and wheat and oats in
the shock were scattered about broad
cast. The hail stones that fell were
as large as hickory nuts.
Both houses of congress adjourned
in the afternoon of the 8th. Rl u
tioua were passed complimenting
Hon. David Davis, president of the

the deliberations of the respective
branches. They responded in brief
and appropriate remarks and declar
ed the senate and house respectively
adjourned without day. A short
time was spent by the members in
hand-shaking and taking leave of
each other. They left their respective
halls, many of them going direct to
their depots.
A terrible collision occurred on
the Lake Shore railroad the othor
morning, when cars to the number of
sixty were piled up on the engines,
and taking fire burned up. Soveral
tramps on the train at the time of the
collision, insist that seven of their
number were in the burning mass.
Both trains were running forty miles
an hour through a heavy fog. Chas.
Stanton and Wm. Barring, the two
engineers, both have broken legs and
internal injuries, and the former had
an arm literally cooked by the steam.
The cries of the tramps confined in
the burning box-car were agonizing
in the extreme, and they perished
miserably. The loss to the company
is placod at $200,000.
A Pole by the name of Holm, liv
ing at Chicago, was arrested on sus
picion of having caused the death of
an infant born to his wife. Children
were born to tbem with unusual fre
quency and that they mysteriously
disappeared, causing much talk among
the neighbors. After bis arrest
Holm confessed that during eight
years residence his wife had borne
eight children, all dying when very
young; and that when one died he
put it in a bag, carried it to the lake
shore and buried it in the sand. He
admits that be sometimes hit the
babies, but denies that he killed. He
states that while he lived in Nebraska
two children were born to tbem and
died in like manner.
Our thanks arc due to Hon. E. K.
Valentine, for a printed copy of the
evidence taken iu the investigation of
the facts as to the census of Nebraska,
used before the judiciary committee,
in the matter of seating an additional
member of the house of representa
tives in the forty-seventh congress.
Anyone having an interest to see ex
actly what was testified to, can call
and examine the book. From this
testimony it does not appear that Ne
braska's congressman, Mr. Valentine,
is in any way responsible for the
fraud that was attempted upon the
committee in the way of a bogus cer
tificate as to the population of the
State, but that, ou the contrary, so
soon as it became known to him, he
divulged it to parties interested.
Robert Buchak, of Omaha, on a
trip to Michigan, some months since,
was supposed to have been murdered
and robbed at New Buffalo, Mich.
His brother-in-law went to the place,
fully identified the body as that ot
Buchan, had it buried at considerable
expense, and sometime after the re
turn of his brother-in-law, Mr. Uouck,
to Omaha, Mr. Buchan, the murdered
and buried man, the other morning
walked into Mrs. Houck's room in
apparent good health and spirits,
which so frightened the lady that she
gave a wild shriek and swooned
away. After she was restored, Mr.
Buchan made the proper explanations
which shows conclusively that the
Hfost positive testimony Is sometimes
lianNlto be entirely erroneous.
