u i THE JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1883. Ex-Senator Paddock has gone to Salt Lake City. Hoese stealing in the western part of the state. All the public land In Nebraska has been surveyed. H. W. Longfellow's estate has been appraised at $350,320. Forty-nine deaths from yellow feyer at Havana, last week. A.NOTnEn "severe shock of earth quake at Ischia Wednesday. Grand Island has levied a tax for establishing a pnblic library. A store at Camp Clarke, Neb., 45 miles north of Sidney was robbed July 31st. Four houses were struck by light ning the other day at St. Paul, How ard county. Polk, the defaulting treasurer of Tennessee, gets twenty years in the penitentiary. A. Rogy of Seward county has landed at New York with thirty head of French horses. The Journal says the recent big fire at Lincoln was caused by spon taneous combustion. Three lewd women of Sidney weie sentenced last week to thirty days imprisonment in jail. The Republican Judicial conven tion for the 10th district will be held at Kearney, Sept. 11th. The total collections from the in ternal revenue in July were $9,278, 533 $3,000,000 leES than July, '82. John B. Long of Beatrice has re turned from Oregon, having invested in 15,000 wethers for Nebraska feed ing. An attempt was made on the night of July 31st to rob the Buffalo county bank, but the would-be robbers were alarmed. O. A. Abbott of Grand Island and Judge J. B. Barnes of the northern district have been mentioned for the supreme bench. A $10,000,000 mortgage was re corded Aug. 2d at Springfield, 111., for money loaned the Ohio & Missis sippi If. R. Co. Col. Crarb of Lancaster county, who has already made flour of his 1883 crop of wheat, saya he averaged 20 bushels to the acre. The Fremont Tribune thinks the one way to dispose of the social evil is to arrest the inmates of the houses often, and fine them to the full extent of the law. Charlie Ford, the slayer of Jesse James, was arrested at Kansas City Aug. 2d, on an eld indictment for the Blue Cut train robbery. He is badly frightened. The Tribune thinks a packing house would be a good thing for Fremont, but that a bonus of $25,000 cash and ten acres of land would be "too rich for our blood." TnE North Bend Flail thinks that N. K. Griggs (who has been named for bupreme judge) "may be a very hard man" but it don't know anything against him but his poetry. At Mycrsville, La., on the night of Aug. 1st, a mob took D. "W. PresBell, charged with rape on a little girl nine years old, from the jail and hanged him in the court house yard. The discovery that hot water ib a specific for dyspepsia led a drnggist of Pougbkcepsie to establish a fount, and it is strange to know the number of people that come every day to drink. Mrs. Ada Bittenbender, as attor ney, has brought suit against the saloon keepers of Tecumseh, claiming ttiby killed Frederick Truto by over doses of whisky. Damages claimed, $10,000. The Denver Tribune suggests that if Tilden really wishes a nomination for president by the democracy, it will be to his interest to help secure the nomination of Arthur by the re publicans. The Republican convention for the First Judicial district is called, to be held at Tecumseh. Sent. 9.1. It win have 47 members from thecouutiesof Nemaha, Johnson, Richardson, Paw nee and Gage. North Platte has a regularly graduated woman physician, Mrs. A. H. Church, and now she adds Rev. Anna J. Norris, late of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, pastor and preacher of the Uni tarian society. There was a report current here last week that a railroad train some where in Colorado had been wrecked, and 140 passengers out of 198 killed. There seems to have been no sem blance of truth in the rumor. A suit for $0,000 has been com menced against the Union Pacific railroad company, by Lucia Knutb, the lady who was injured at North Bend a few months ago while getting off the cars. Fremont Herald. Austin F, Pike was elected U. S. Senator from New Hampshire Aug. 2d. He is 03 years old, a lawyer in active practice, has been representa tive in congress and is considered one of the ablest republicans in the state. One of our exchanges intimates that in view of the fact that the rail roads may expect a little adverse leg islation in the near future, it will be a special object with them to Bee that the judges elected are "sound on the goose." The democracy of Pennsylvania met in state convention at Harrisburg Aug. 1st, and nominated a ticket. Nothing expressly new In the plat form except a recommendation to abolish the present system of internal taxation on the ground that it is an unnecessary and unequal burden. The Farnham type setter is said to do the work of five men. Heretofore the trouble with machinery for set ting type has been in the distribution. It is claimed that this difficulty has been overcome, and that the new machine is now ready for the trade. -Two freight trains collided August let, at Pownal, Vt. Six employes were killed. Johnson.night operator, ii blamed. He had been given orders to bold one train at the Junction, and neglected to transfer his instructions to the day operator, who, in his ignor juce, allowed the train to paw. The Telegraph. If the operators strike Bball succeed in fixing public attention long enough to look fairly into the matter, the Journal believes that the country will demand a postal telegraph of congress at its next session. When the subject was under dis cussion last winter, it was well agreed that the project was practicable, de sirable, nay necessary to the business interests of the country, and the views expressed by Senator Edmunds, we think, hit the pnblic desire exactly. He advocated a beginning with lines between the most important commer cial points of the country, to extend to all points as rapidly as the service would bear, operating the lines on the 6am e general principles as the postal department is now, that is, at a nom inal cost, sufficient however to pay current expenses and ensure good service. Ho also insisted that the country should not think of purchas ing existing lines, but put up their own, leaving tho present and any future companies to compete for the business against the government, if they could do so in the interest of the public. Postal facilities' were enlarg ed so that small packages of mer chandise could be profitably sent through the mails, but this did not abolish the great express companies that still continue to do business. So, neither will the fact that the govern ment enters the business of telegraph ing, necessarily do away with the private business, but it will secure lower prices, better service, less lia bility to interruption by Btrikes, and be a big entering wedge to railroad control. The Sutton Regis ter "has been in formed that a part of the Nebraska delegation in Congress intend to press the passage of a bill at the next ses sion, allowing stock men to buy up large tracts of land in the western part of the state, of the government, at a nominal price, and thus turn, the whole section over to a few men. If this report is well founded, our ad vice would be don't do it. The agitation of this question had the ran of the press on two or three occasions heretofore, and the judgment of this people is undoubtedly against such, a measure. Even wore it established beyond doubt that the West End is totally unfit for agriculture, the policy of giving the land into the hands of a few men would be most unwise and unjust. And the experience of this year on the upper Republican will go a long way towards demonstrating that no such conclusion is, as yet, warrantable. But even were it abso lutely true, it is much better that the country should be occupied by thous ands of 6tockmen with small herds, than by a very few with unnaturally large ones. Such a project, while meeting the approbation of the few it would benefit, would be condemned most emphatically by the body of the people, as any attempt to pass such a bill would very soon demonstrate." Whenever there is a determined man whose personal or property rights are interfered with by the prox imity of a house of ill-fame, there is no great difficulty in having the nui sance abated, as has recently been demonstrated here. The law on the subject is as follows : Chapter 25, section 210, of the Com piled Statutes of Nebraska, says: "Every bouse or building situated in this state used and occupied as a house of ill-fame, or for the purposes of prostitution shall be held and deemed a public nuisance; and any person owning, or having control of such house or building and knowing ly leasing or sub-letting the same in whole or in part for the purpose of keeping therein a bouse of ill-fame, or knowingly permit the same to be used and occupied for sueh purpose, or using and occupying the same for such purpose, shall for every such offence be fined in any sum not exceeding one hundred dol lars, or imprisoned in the county jail not less than thirty days or more than six months, or both at the discretion of the court." Section 211 says: "The use or oc cupation by the lessee or tenant of any house or building, or any part thereof for the purposes prohibited in the preceding section shall be held by the courts of this state good cause on the part of the owner to re-enter at any time and take possession of such house or building." Being ordered to "go" for specific reasons, satisfactory to the democratic commanders, the republican party naturally remembers that it has heard the order a number of times before, but the. reasons assigned have, when collated, a pleasing aspect of ingenui ty and variety. The New York Trib une recalls the fact that republicans were ordered to "go" twenty years ago because "they were waging an unconstitutional war; a little later because they were not prosecuting it with vigor ; later because the war was a failure; then because they had issued an irredeemable currency; thon because they would not pay the national debt with it; then because they were postponing specie resump tion by their financial policy; then because they were endangering busi ness interests by hastening resump tion ; and so on and so on until now they must go simply because they are "rascals." Thus far, when ordered to go, they have, like the man in the parable of the vineyard, said "I go not," and unlike him, they afterwards repented not and went not Lincoln Journal. Loos out for your horses! On Wednesday evening last three horses were stolen from this vicinity. Mr. W. E. McNeal at Nursery Hill, lost two and Mr. C. W. Baldwin, a farmer living seven miles northwest of this town, lost one which was taken from the picket rope near his residence, another horse left in its place. The thieves are supposed to be well posted concerning the horses in the neigh borhood. There is considerable ex citement in town concerning it, and if the rascals are caught it will be a sorry job for them. Syracuse Journal. The newspapers of Omaha are ask ing Mayor Chase some pretty pointed questions. Among other tbings,quite too numerous for an 0U6ide barbarian to mention, they seem exceedingly desirons to know whether the Mayor, when be was a candidate for election, entered into an agreement with the I gamblers to be easy with them, if they Bhould vote and work- for his election; whether, after election, he violated his agreement long enough to compel them to pay him for official protection ; and whether, as the Her ald expresses it, after an enforced idleness of three weeks or there abouts, these gamblors raised a purse of $500 and presented it to the alleged mayor, with the promise of an addi tional $50 a month as long as he kept his official clawB off. It is safe to say that the mayor will have too much "alleged" dignity to condescend to answer these impertinent questions of his friend Dr. Miller. Judging from the appearance of the situation at this distance we should say that the news papers have & prima facie case against the mayor. Buffalo county only has five del egates to the republican state conven tion, this year. Last year she had either 10 or 11. If we recollect right ly, the "kickers" were told by the monopoly wing that they were a good riddance, that their votes were not needed, and the party was better off without them. Judge Savidge should go as a delegate to the coming republican state convention and tell the party that his action last fall re duced the party membership in Buffa lo -county more thau one-half, and inform them that he was mistaken when he stated in the last republican state convention that tho opposition claimants for seats only represented a few "sore headB" and "disappointed candidates." Next year Buffalo coun ty will have about 3 delgates to the republican state convention. Kear ney Press. There is as yet no satisfactory re sponse to the inquiry, "Why was Boss Stout awarded the capital contract at figures $41,000 above those of R. D. Silver?" The excuses are lame. Tho board that awarded the contract has the privilege of the floor. The above, from the Beatrice Ex press, expresses pretty accurately the state of public feeling, except that it should contain a peremptory order to step to the front and explain the situ ation. This should be done imme diately, too, because the county con ventions are already beginning to be held, and the gentlemen engaged in this business will be sure to hear from the "rural precincts," some pretty plain expressions of opinion, if this apparent jobbery is not clearly explained and justified. It is reported that Mr. Gannett and Mr. Fifield intend to resign their po sitions as regents of the university, and that Mr. Holmes does not desire a re election. Tho loss of Gannett and Holmes would leave Mr. Gere the only member of the board. The termB of Merritt, Persinger and Hoi moo will e-rpire tbia year.and if h resignations spoken of are made there will be five members of the board to elect next fall. So far as Mr. Persin ger is concerned, we are authorized to state he is not a candidate for re election. He has served faithfully for six years, and having done what ho believes his whole duty, desires to retire. Central City Nonpareil. It is said that Mr. Silver, who it will be remembered was the unsuc cessful bidder (though $41,000 lees) on the State Capitol job, will contest the matter in the courts. It may be worth his while, and it certainly will be some satisfaction to the tax payers of the state to know whether there is any law or justice, for letting contracts to the highest bidder, all other things being equal. One of the important questions for the supreme court or somebody else to solve is whether the taxpayers of Nebraska have any rights at all that "Boss" Stout and his gang must respect. Mb. Dobson, one of the committee men who went to the northwestern part of the Btate to view lands for the soldiers' colony, brought home with him a stalk of corn cut in the Nio brara valley that will compare very favorably with the best corn in this section of the country. The same gentleman says he saw a wheat field that would certainly turn off forty bushels to the acre. He further Bays that whether the colony forniB or not, he is ready to pack up and move north before the summer is over. Stale Journal. The Tecumseh Chieftain remarks that the people of Nebraska like Conkling less and Blaine more as time progresses, and calls the Lincoln Journal's recent utterance on the sub ject a billions attack. The contest of '80 in this state cannot be repeated in all its phases, and it is hardly worth while to talk about it. Our brethren are apparently trying to cross the bridge before they get to it, which is never good policy the important thing to know is that the stream has a good strong bridge. The Lincoln Journal man says the chief curse of this state is mis-government in counties. Are compari sons so odious that the Journal never refers to any mis-government by state officials? Couldn't the Journal give us a line or two, occasionally, on economy in state affairs? Jt would be, we know, refreshing to the read ers of that paper to see a little more plainness of speech on matters which appear to others so crooked. The largest apple ever grown in America came from Nebraska, and weighed 29) ounces. The Smithson ian institution has a model of this apple. Indianapolis Republican. Just so. That apple was grown in Nemaha county and was picked and exhibited by ex-Governor Furnas of this city. Rrovmville Republican. For the Journal. Health Notes. Whatever wo set out to do it is always best to determine clearly what it is we wish to accomplish. Know what you want and then want what you know. When health is our ob ject it is well for us to have in our minds an ideal of a healthy man or woman. Let us attempt to draw the outlines of this ideal. Here is in a few strokes our Apollo Belvidere. A solid, erect figure; symmetrical proportions ; intelligent countenance ; an open, honest look; rounded (not angular) features ; the expression in dicating firmness without severity, and friendliness without frivolity ; ruddy lips; white teeth; deep chest; full waist ; the gait as well as the look must be manly normal and honest; the step firm, with an absence of all tripping or twisting. The grip of the hand must be firm and warm; any muscular movement must show an absence of hesitation, trembling or weakness ; breathing and pulse must be slow, steady and firm. All action physiological, muscular, mental and emotional well balanced and regu lated. And last but not least, the will must Bit supreme and ever bold undisputed sway. Better read that ideal once more and ponder the meaning of each "stroke." Any esseutial departure from this apollo indicates something wrong. If the good Journal man will give us space, we will try to describe some of the abnormal variations from this normal picture, together with some of the causes which produce abnormi ties. This picture is, as it were, the shadow of what we all might be, but alas are not. The variation from the normal are indeed infinite. What a fearful degeneration of the human species do we witness around us every day. Hardly' a family that is all sound. The wise will look out, first and above everything else, for sound, solid, robust health, this being funda mental to every other enjoyment or acquirement. Adreatmre ofaTeaderfoot. O'Neill Banner. Wytt Storts started one week ago last Friday with team and buggy for the Boston settlement, on the Loup, distant about fifty miles, taking as a companion a gentleman who lately arrived from the "Hub," and who wished to reach the settlement above mentioned. The Boston settlement is southeast of Hawkins' ranch, but Storts and companion were directed southwest, and Btruck out through the sand-hills. When somu distance from the ranch their buggy broke down, and they were obliged to aban don it and take to the horses. There was no human habitation in the hills, and they wandered on two days and nights before they reached a ranch on the Calamus, being all this time without food. They were pretty well fatigued and only too gladly availed themselves of the hospitality of the ranch. Assistance and guides were procured, and they were two days finding the buggy. Wytt came back to O'Neill Saturday. The little dog Keno, belonging to Fritz & Co., was with them, but gave out and laid down, and as nothing has been beard of him sinoo, it is probable that he succumbed to the inevitable. Storts and companion may congratulate themselves that they succeeded in finding their way out of tho hills. It was certainly an adventure which but few of us would run a great distance to meet. A Steam Wheel. Plattsmouth Herald. This morning the Herald went up and interviewed Frank Morrison's Bteam wheel, which is no small won der, and worth a description far more extended than the Herald c&n give. The invention does away with a sta tionary engine, applying the steam directly to the balance wheel, and if any think thero is no power in the motive power thus made, they should see the invention in motion. Frank wants to secure a place down town to put it on exhibition, and it is well worth seeing. Everybody, who so far has witnessed it work, believes there is big money in the invention. The amount of the confederate debt is said to be $400,000,000 held mostly in Europe. A telegram from London says that a syndicate has been formed and a campaign outlined for realizing on the Confederate bonds. They entertain some sentimental hope of getting something from the U.S. government, as for iustance, the unappropriated balance of the Ala bama award, and the large amounts received from the seizure of cotton during the war. No people in the world have wel comed the railroad era bo joyfully a9 Americans; no other people have done so much by land grants and cor porate aid to build railways ; no other people have so fully recognized the value of railroad transportation. If railroad managers have chilled this cordiality, and changed it to distrust, they can blame nothing but their shortsightedness. Buffalo Express. The Missouri oil fields near Rich Hill are just now receiving consider able attention. Thus far the wells have proven successful and the crude petroleum is found to be of excellent quality and at a depth of less than one thousand feet below the surface. Four companies for operating oil wells in this region have already been organ ized and incorporated. BrownvMe Republican. A singular phenomenon has oc curred to the huge railroad embank ment down at the Missouri. Last Friday night about 200 feet of it set tled into the ground from six to eight feet, at the same time the ground adjoining rose in a mound over six feet high. The top soil gave way and settled into the quicksand. Blair Republican. An express train on the South eastern railroad from Newport to Montreal, was derailed three miles from North Troy. The whole train was wrecked two parlor cars, one passenger car, one baggage car and a new engine were a total wreck. A lady was fatally injured, and 14 others seriously hurt. A writ- of mandamus was issued by the Supremo Court, and tho papers served Aug. 2d, upon tho inoinbers of the board of public lands and build ings and W. II. B. Stout, and thcy were cited to appear Aug. 4th, on ap plication of R. D. Silver. This is the beginning of the end of the capitol business.
