The ordinary human being, read

come to her death by apoplexy, in

G. "W. Stevens tolls us that there
is no regularly laid-out road between
the corner of his land west of his

would be a good thing to establish a
road as indicated and work it, as there
is considerable travel along the route.
We heard of two supervisors of
the county who at the last meeting of
the Board were ready to offor a re
ward for the apprehension and con
viction of all the men engaged in the
brutal outrage of Miss Quackenbush.
Can any one explain how it happened
that action was not taken, and the
resolution 'hot even offered?
Some one tells this on Neville

in the offico of the hotel, Green was
quietly Baying to Neville that he

were a little too much for them.

A dispatch from Omaha to tho
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, concern
ing Miss Quackenbush's death says
that "the tostimony of tho doctors
before tho coroner's jury showed that
tho poor girl had been most terribly
tortured by the fiends," and that "tho
men are now under arrest and strong
ly guarded to prevent lynching."
Our readers hero need not be told
that no arrests have been made or
attempted ; at this writing (Monday,
Sept. 29, 12 m.) no warrant for arrest
has been issued, notwithstanding that
the (supposed) verdict of the coroner's
jury is that a fearful crime was com
mitted by certain persons therein
named.
A recent number of tie Lincoln
Journal has this mention of a Colum
bus enterprise :
Abont the first of August last Prof.
Geo. B. Harden, formerly of Sheldon,
Iowa, commenced building a skating
rink. The rink was formally opened
last evening. About 7 : 30 o'clock the
band appeared in front of the rink
and after playing several fine selec
tions were conducted by the ProfeeBor
to the orchestra, where they furnished
some very lively music until a late
hour. There were about 800 of the
citizens present and 200 or 300 from
other towns at the opening. The
rink is 40x100 feet, with a twenty-two
foot ceiling. The floor which is prob
ably the best in tho Btate, is double,
having a snrfaco of bard maple made
of two inch Inmber. The floor after
having been laid, was planed perfectly
smooth, and is indeed a model of per
fection. The building is lighted by
four double gasbliue chandeliers, hav
ing also twenty-one double windows.
The cost of the rink was about $4,000.
The proprietor has 200 pairs of skates
varying from one to eight wheels.
This is certainly a great benefit to the
city and should be encouraged by our
citizcrife as it will have, a strong ten
dency to draw the young people away
from tho saloons where we fear they
are too apt to spend their evenings.
Prof. Hardell has spared neither pains
nor money to make the rink com
plete, and his energy will undoubted
ly receive the reward it 60 much
merits.

The QmackeabMM Case.
The Journal gave last week the
substance of what it could gather in
regard to this case. The examination
before the coroner was, it seems,
sometimes public, but mostly secret .
We could readily see why this might
be advisable, and so had nothing
specially to say against it. We have
been informed (not by the coroner,
who refused to tell ns what the ver
dict was) that the verdict of the jury
waB that the unfortunate girl came to
her death, by violence, at the hands
of , and others. On
Monday morning, Sept.. 29, we sought
an interview with Coroner Heintz
and inquired as to the present status
of the case, when he told ns that a
warrant was ready, but there was no
money. It seems to be his under
standing of the law that he must have
money in some shape, from some di
rection, to pay an official for bis
work. We have had numerous in
quiries as to why no arrests had been
or attempted, and this seems to be tho
explanation in a nut shell.
The law says : "If the person charg
"ed be present, the coroner may
"order his arrest by an officer or any
"other person present, and 6hall then
"make a warrant requiring the officer
"or other person to take him before a
"justice of the peace for examination,
"or if the person charged be not
"present, and the coroner believes he
"can be taken, he may issue a warrant
"to the sheriff or constable, requiring
"him to arrest the person and take
"him before a justico of the peace for
"examination."
"The warrant of the coroner shall
"recite substantially the verdict of
"the jury of iuquest, and such war
rant shall be a sufficient foundation
"for the proceedings of the jnstice
"instead of a complaint."
It does seem to ns that Coroner
Heintz, in making ont a warrant and
locking it up in his safe, and waiting
for some officer to come around and
proffer his services in its execution,
has a strange .conception of his dnty.
He says he is ready to give it to any
man who will undertake the work,
and we give him credit for an ex
pressed desire to do his whole duty
in the matter, whatever it may be.
We place the facts, as near as we can
get them, before our readers, who
can draw conclusions just as well as
wo can.

John McMahon and daughter Katie
J. returned from New York Saturday.
John took considerable interest in the
political situation while sojourning
in Dunkirk, Buffalo and New York
City, and says that Blaine will sweep
New York state unless there is a rev
olution in opinion. This was Mac's,
first return to his old haunts in four
teen years, and he notices wonderful
changes in a general way. He is un
bounded in bis praise of the fifteen
story dwellings now being put up,
each story or flat being a complete
dwelling in itself with all the modern
conveniences of cold and hot water,
elevators, fcc, &c. Each flat is pro
vided with a front and back yard, and
the fifteenth-story residents enjoy
their comparative quiet in peace and
comfort.

In Harrison Co., Ky., as we see
from Kentucky papers, pleuro pneu
monia has broke out among the cattlo
and yet 6ome men are bound to im
port cattle into our state. Prominent
breeders of Kentucky called upon
their governor. They 6tatcd that
from 1711-'69 it took 200,000,000 head
of cattle in Europe, from nM-'W
from 300,000 to 400,000 died in Italy;
in 1842, 300,000 in Egypt and in 18G5
it killed 500,000 in 18 mouths in Eng
land. Our good state of Nebraska is
yet perfectly free from the disease,
but no one should import a bead of
cattle now until the evil is stamped
out. X. Y. Z.
CITY ENTERPRISES.
Wkat a Reporter kaa to Say of Some
of Them.
The homes of citizens are made the
test of their loyalty to principles of
social order, patriotism, and morality.
Bnt little can be expected of those
who remain long indifferent to the
surroundings in the family homestead.
Our business men are doing much
to enlighten those who are by priva
tion lett out of the reach of the direct
influence of comfortable abundance.
In the line of furniture we take espe
cial pride in naming
MR. JAMES E. MUNGER,
and in making assurance doubly sure,
by the consent of the hundreds who
are patrons of his establishment. The
success attending his efforts must be
our reason for bringing out in earnest
words our sincere approbation of the
manner in which he conducts his bus
iness. That be is prompt, reliable,
trustworthy and obliging, are but
general expreBsionsin the community.
His prices are moderate, the stock
complete, variety for all purposes,
and everything substantial. His
specialties are the providing of com
plete outfits of parlor aud chamber
suits, kitchen setts, office furniture,
library and book cases, tables, &c.
Even the plainest article desired by
any customer is furnished with the
two-fold object of giving and receiv
ing value for all material and labor.
But while he supplies the best that
can be fonnd in the cabinet-makers
catalogues, for the comfort of the liv
ing, he is also prepared to make the
last offices for the dead as void of
sorrow as it is natural or probable
they ever will be.
The hearse 1b an attendant at most
funerals, and when one can be secured
on the easy terms offered by Mr.
Munger, it would seem unnecessary
to urge its advantages. Bnt there is
another feature to be mentioned. The
process of embalming as practiced by
Mr. Munger, removes much of the
outer evils of the case, and though not
making any one less sensitive to the
common enemy. death, yet it provides
for the memorial aud other services
without the distressing features often
surrounding the neglected cases,
where skill would have removed
offensivo causes. After an investiga
tion of tho ways and means used by
him, wo are led to the belief that its
superiority consists in the following
points: 1st. Partial embalming is
not expensive. It is not more so than
rude methods, ice boxes and tho like.
2d. It secures oomplete control of
all contagious or offensive emanations
and is a perfect disinfectant. The
fluid used is harmless to human life,
and prevents tho decomposition in
the tissues of the dead body, when
fully embalmed. 3d. The features
of the dead are relieved of all rigidity,
and are brought to an appearanco as
nearly natural as can be easily suppos
ed to exist in a state of death. 4th. It
leads to a greater regard for the nec
essary care in preparing the remains
for a last resting place. The wishes
of friends can be carried out with
safety, when Buch require the keeping
of the corpso any special length of
time. Lastly. The process of em
balming may bo complete or partial.
By partial we mean the prevention of
decomposition during a period of time
varying from two days to six months.
The permanent process is more ex
pensive, but is a method often em
ployed. The vending of a useful article re
sults in a benefit to the community
at large. Tho dealings of an exten
sive business call into evcrciso the
best elements of society, and is pro
motive of industy and frugality.
Such were the tho thoughts which oc
cured to us when reviewing the
activitives which are supported by
the union of interests, wberin
MESSRS. TAYLOR, SCHUTTE Jl CO.
are the proprietors of an extensive
lumber yard, a capacious elevator and
large coal sheds, and the progressive
farmers of central Nebraska the pat
rons. It seems to us that there is
nothing that is in itself better calcu
lated to foster the spirit of improve
ment than this enterprise. The men
directly employed by them are con
tented and prosperous in such labor,
everything tending towards comfort
able homes and permanency. Their
customers have the satisfaction of re
ceiving valuable aids in makiug farm
life successful, for a reasonable com
pensation. To fully appreciate the
benefits to the public such establish
ments must be viewed in a liberal
spirit. When we call to mind tho
many ways in which contributions
are maae oy mem tor general im
provements, the help given towards
schools, city and county interests, and
tho more general social influence ex
erted on the state of society through
matured plans for its elevation and
reputation, we also remember that
this 6tate of affairs combines mutual
influences which lead to the success
of their undertaking. Messrs. Tay
lor, Scbutte & Company have and are
worthy of public confidence, and their
just treatment of those with whom
they deal is realized by tho people of
Platte and adjoining counties. F r
the benefit of recent settlers wc have
made these comments. Elevator,
yards and offico near B. & M. depot.
WM. RECKER,
proprietor of the O. K. Store, dealer
in staple and fancy groceries, &c, has
now a fine assortment in stock. The
good judgment exercised in solecting
goods has placed him above ordiuary
competition, and his affability and
efforts to please his customers, has
brought him a large patronage. The
inducements offered by him are such
as are consistent with honorable ex
change. The integrity of Mr. It. is
unquestioned, and his dealings are
fair and scrupulously just. His long
experience in the grocery and provis
ion trade have fitted him to tako a
leading position among our city deal
ers. It is but justice to the readers of
the Jouknal that men of reliable
business habits, with an interest in
the town which is shown by partici
pation in public enterprises, should
bo brought boforo the people in tho
most favorable manner. Wo do not
hesitate to commend Mr. Wm. Becker
to their consideration. His record as
a man and merchant is good. His
success in business has been the re
sult of wise plans faithfully carried
out. Remember the location, near B.
& M. depot, over which is placed an
immense sign O. K. Grocery.
GROCERIES, PROVISIONS, DRY GOODS, S.C.
The tact used in the selection of a
stock of goods is an element of great
importance to the merchant, and the
same gift in ordinary purchases is
often the greatest evidenco of success.
Men who have begun their mercan
tile career with moderate or meager
capital directly investod, have found
this talent their greatest dependence,
aside from tho roputation of honor
able dealings.
MR. J. b. delsman
has demonstrated the fact that small
beginnings, faithfully used, will lead
to results commensurate with the
care with which tho undertaking is
beguu and continued. Comparisons
of present stock of goods, buildings,
custom and other points of interest,
will show that an unusual growth
has been made in bis case. His teas,
coffees, spices, fruits, canned and
dried, are of the very best quality.
The variety of staple and fancy
groceries is ample for the needs of
the trade. Dress goods and the
commoner articles usually found in
dry goods stores, of the latest styles,
are kept; the prices fair, and the
quality unquestioned! A supply of
bats and caps, boots and shoes, con
stantly on band. Full measure, just
weights, and everything as repre
sented. Gentlemanly clerks, and
prompt delivery teamster. These
are the remarks made by tho numer
ous patrons of this store. Prompt
ness and reliability are the basis of
Mr. D's. success in business.

Mrs. Mary A. Dailey, of Tunkhan
nock, Pa., was afflicted for six years
with A6thma and Bronchitic, during
which time the best physicians could
give no relief. Her life was despaired
of, until in last October she procured
a Bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery,
when immediate relief was felt, and
by continuing its use for "a short time
she was completely cured, gaining iu
flesh 50 lbs. in a few months.

Every school district in the rural
sections should begin to take steps to
organize for some profitable source of
amusement for both old and young
during the winter. The nucleus
should always be a library. The
school itself should have a library,
and this should be largely added to
by tho people. A little effort in this
direction would be surprisingly suc
cessful. There should be one or two
meetings at the school houso each
week for social intercourse aud such
exercises as will keep alive the gen
eral interest and prove of advantage
to all concerned. State Journal.
