One man who attended the first
day's sales of the Otoe Reservation
lands says there was a very large
crowd present, and when one got
canght in the jam, there was no get
ting out until meal time; land sold all
the way from 8 to $30 an acre. An
other man declared that there was a
beaten foot-path around every quar
ter section, where expectant purchas
ers walked to see the corners.
An enthusiastic audience greeted
the Maonnerchor at their superb con
cert last week. Those present speak
in spraise of "A Warrior Bold" by
Miss Lottie Metz; "O'Lnci di Quest
Animi" by Rosa North ; the baritone
solo by E. Pohl, the duet by Mr. and
Mrs. Bowman, and the tenor solo by
F. Gores. The Band and the Maen
nerchor were fully up to their usual
high standard of excellence.
A safe robbery at Lyons, Burt
county, on the night of the 26tb nit.,
suggests the same methods as at nu
merous other places throughout the
state with this variation, as stated by
the Burtoniari: Two masked men
entered the bank and post-office build
ing of Everett & Son, presented a
revolver at the head of Bert Everett,
tied and gagged him, drilled a hole in
the safe, blew it open, took $500 in
money and $300 in stamps, and rode
ofTupon stolen horses.
The Kearney Press says that Mrs.
Brown has confessed that Somers
killed himself, and that she and her
son Harry carried him out of the
house. The Press remarks that this
story of self killing comes rather late,
and will not be believed. The Press
also suggests that there are other men
and women in Kearney living togeth
er without being married, and that
such practices otten leading to mur
der, they should be stopped.
N. N. Berlin, living near West
Hill, wae last week down at the Otoe
Reservation to look over the lands
with a view to purchase. The day
he was at the reservation over two
hundred persons were there for a
similar purpose. At Beatrice there
were a large number of people con
tinually coming and going, so moch
so that the public hotels could scarce
ly accommodate them. In the vicin
ity of his home near West Hill, be
reports many improvements in the
way of new buildings among the
farmers.
The committees on hospitality to
be extended to delegates attending
the S. S. convention, had very fair
success last week, but, should there
be a large delegation, the arrange
ments are not ample enough. Shoold
any have been passed over, by their
not being at home, or otherwise, who
would gladly entertain guests, will
they please make it known 'to the
committees or any of the ministers.
We feel sure-our town will rise to the
importance of this meeting, and with
large heartedness welcome all the
guests. Let all be ready to do their
part. ' Tx;

Baker Post No. 9 of the Grand
Army of the Republic very fitly ob
served Memorial Day on Wednesday
last: In the morning i special detail
visited the grave of E. C. Kavanaugb,
two miles from the city, and decorated
it with flowers. . At 1 p. m. the mem
bers of the Pott met at their hall, and,
preceded by the Cornet Band, march
ed to the Opera House. The school
children marched in line to the
Opera House, where they occupied
the body of the hall, overflowing into
the galleries. The remainder of the
the large'haU was filled with citizens.
The aseembly was called to order by
the Commander of the Post, W. A.
McAllister, and the programme was
then followed : Adjutant D. N. Miner
reading the orders ; Ber. John Gray
offering np prayer; the school chil
dren, under the lead of Miss Emma
Bauer rendering an appropriate song,
and Hon. H. J. Hudson and Hon. E.
R. Dean delivering addresses, the
Cornet Band meantime recalling, by
appropriate music, the solemn events
of the war. The whole scene and
ceremony were impressive. On the
stage were a cenotaph, a marble mon
ument to represent the burial place,
sacred to the memory of the unknown
dead, Vice Commanders O. A. Stearns
and Gua. Lockner, la uniform, stand
ing guard the flags, the wreaths, the
flowers, memory recalling the days
of '61 when the whole country was
electrified by the proclamation of war
and the din and noise of recruiting ;
the hundreds and thousand- of men
and youth leaving their quiet, peace
able homes to go the front in defence
of their country; the reports of
marching and fighting; the heart
rending and unavailing lamentations
of the widows and orphans as the
dead, came back to be buried under
the green sod or the snow ; the loud,
ringing, joyous cry of victory over
the enemies of the national flag, or
the ominouB silence and awful cloud
of darkness that settled down when
the wires carried the particulars of
defeat and disaster to the brave men
who had gone forth to battle in de
fence of their government; memory
looking back an average life-lease,
from the present time of smiling
peace and plenty, from the mimic
scene upon the stage to the tented
field after battle, listening to the
groans of the wounded living, look
ing at the calm facer of the comrades
dead; memory, looking down into
the fathomless iniquities of Libby and
Andersonville, and shuddering over
the remembered picture of skeletons
of human wrecks that came forth from
those bottomless deeps of infamy,
some of them back into God's country
of life and light and freedom, and
some of them with the God-given
light of intellect darkened into idiocy
by the brutalities of the demons who
gloated over the misery of our brave
defenders who periled all there was
to them of life that the government
might live; memory, winding its ten
dered fibers around the tall, gaunt,
noble form of honest and kind Abe
Lincoln, as he rejoices, not over the
fallen foe, but over the country risen
from strife ; memory turning sick at
the news of that morning in April
when the great chief lay stricken in
death by an assassin's bullet, again
putting constitutional government in
jeopardy.
While the soldiers of the republic
who fought in that struggle live
among us they will be honored for
their bravery and patriotism; after
the last one shall have gone the way
of all the earth, their memory will be
held sacred to liberty and good gov
ernment. After the services at the Opera
House, closing with a touching song
by the Quartette, the procession re
formed, and moved to the cemetery,
where the graves of the dead soldiers
were decorated, after the form pre
scribed by the G. A. R.
The flood at Council Bluffs on the
night of the 1st was a terrific sample
of weather. Houses were torn from
their foundations, and swept down
the current ; business houses were in
undated, and sad hayoc played gen
erally. The loss is variously estimat
ed at $100,000 to $200,000. The North
western trains have been running into
Omaha via Blair, and the Rock Island
road have been using the C, B. & Q.
track. A friend 'in Council Bluffs
writes us, under date of June 3d:
"We received about 200 loads of earth
as our contribution from the city's
wealth. We would have preferred
the donation in a different manner,
but are thankful for even this favor.
The distribution was recklessly be
stowed on our fruits antLvegetables
and. on flower beds. $50,000 will
probably make our bridges and roads
good; $100,000 would cover individ
ual losses. The sight along Indian
creek is appalling. The destruction
extends over width of about a block
for several squares and over a narrow
er belt for over a mile. The losses
are confined mostly to people in mod
erate circumstances."
Brother Cady of the Schuyler Sun,
closing a very interesting article on
the circus, "not as it shoold be, but as
it is," suggested by a sermon of Rev.
Rhone against attending circusses,
says: "Bit human nature i a para
dor. We recognize the immoral at
tributes of the circus, but we go
theoretically it is harmfal practically
it Is harmless. Still we admire the
consistency that inspires our clerical
friend to preach to the sinners at
home. It has become a strong feature
of the pulpit to extend jurisdiction to
all but resident sinners. It won't do
any good, thoagh ; he can preach and
exhort 'until time is no more, but the
circus will go on just the same, and
the good old deacon who echoes a
fervent amen will make it convenient
to take Johnny to see the animals."

Did it ever occur to the readers of
the Journal that there is a large per
cent of our population which does not
pretend to send its children to school ?
While there is a much larger per cent
that pretends, bat does not send
oftener than once or twice a week, or
even a month. Of course you all
know the result of such pretentions.
Before I proceed, let me give you the
statistics of two of our districts, which,
if you are inclined to doubt you can
have by consulting the registers of
the respective schools.
Dist. No. 60, according to the last
census, has a school population of 60
pupils. The number registered in
school, the last term, was 24. While
the average attendance was only 9 ; or
15 per cent of the entire school popu
lation. Think of it, here we are rais
ing 85 per cent of the men and women
who are to be the constituent element
of our societies and government, in
gross fgnorance.
The census of Dist. No. 56, report
50 children of school age. The num
ber enrolled, I cannot give, but the
average attendance was 3, which is
only G per cent of the population ; the
remaining 94 per cent growing up
amid ignorance and superstition.
Now, if these two were the only
ones of that class, we might feel con
tent ; but when we consider that these
are only fair specimens of others, we
can readily perceive that there is
need for alarm, and the sooner we
give it and apply the requisite means
to remedy the evil, the better for our
homes, our societies, and our govern
ment. This is called a government of the
people, for the people, and by the
people ; and that is what it should be ;
but it is also an undisputed fact that
an ignorant Republican form of gov
ernment is the most dangerous form
in. existence. And now when we
consider that in one Jocaltty we are
raising a corps of voters (which will
govern us to a certain degree) in per
fect ignorance, except 15 percent, our
democratic spirit almost disappears;
and we find ourselves at the verge of
exclaiming, "better be governed by a
learned aristocracy than by a set of
ignorant men who are the dupes of
whiskey-shops, or who know not why
they vote for or against a certain man
or measure."
Do not understand me to say that
all men, who have not enjoyed the
advantages of an education, are
"dupes." But I know, from observa
tion, that those who are purposely
kept out of school, are, at home, re
ceiving an accademic course of train
ing of "dupes" of the whiskey shops
or institutions of a baser character.
Of course we all know, or ought to
know, that ignorant voters are dan
gerous to our society aud government ;
and now the most important problem
to be solved, is, How are we going to
remedy this evil? Our frieud from
Columbus, who wrote that interesting
article on "Labor," no doubt would
suggest that we find employment for
this class, then the evil would be
remedied. Employment is a good
thing ; and a man without it, is not a
man. But, on this making the man.
however, I must differ with him. I
hold that, uext to nature, it Is the
training, the education, a man re
ceives in his youth, that makes him a
gentleman, or a vagabond. They say,
"there are exceptions to all rules," and,
I presume, there are to this.
But can we reform this class of men
that has grown up in ignorance and
fallen a victim to vice and crime?
No; but we can train the youthful
minds. We can contrast wrong with
right, and show the folly of doing it.
We can point them to the starry
heavens which nothing could form or
regulate but the great Omnipotent.
We can point out dangerous paths
which lead to perdition, and warn
them against following such. And
lastly, we cau teach them the way to
live, in order to live long and happy,
and be a benefit to our government,
and an indispensable member of so
ciety. And this must be taught in onr
schools as well a9 at home.
But how are we going to teach them
if they do not come? We cannot;
and, therefore, we must have a law
enacted that will compel this indiffer
ent people to send its children. To
this, some may want to apply the old
maxim, "You can drive a horse to
water, but you cannot make him
drink." True; but if you will keep
him there till he sees the necessity of
drinking, he will hesitate no longer.
Just so with children, whoge parents
are opposed to education. Tou can
not expect them to drink of the waters
of immortal youth until they have
associated with others that have.when
they will see its importance and read
ily drop the old prejudice which they
inherit, and prepare themselves for a
life of usefulness.
Space forbids writing more ; but I
trust you will consider this important
matter, and let me know, through the
Journal, your views on compulsory
education. Observer.

If some enterprising music teacher
would take a trip to this place she
would find plenty of scholars to start
a school and thereby profit all con
cerned. Conrad Oilt the wagon maker re
ferred to last week died May 29th and
was buried the 30th. He left us in a
great hurry, having gone to Colum
bus to attend court on Friday, came
home and on the following Tuesday
morning left for that borne whence
no traveler returns, reminding our
busy little town that life is as uncer
tain, as death is certain.
We are again called upon to record
another sad acciden t here. Mr. Da vid
Falloitt from Granville was ridiug
one of Dr. Trout's new team on Sun
day last ; the horse became frightened
by a dog (with which this town is
uselessly infested) and threw the rider
so as to break his arm, one bone below
the elbow, and otherwise bruised.
