The Omaha Republican brings suit
against James Creighton claiming

The Talmage Tribune says: "It is
a wise man who seeds his pasture in
tame grass. It doesn't pay to pasture

Commissioner Mann at Washing

Bsorning the entire force of the

persons, of both sexes, and announced
that there would remain no money

tart. They were all fnrioughed
without pay from the 20th of Jane
aatatheletof Jaly.
The Topics man of the Lincoln
Journal can always see the side of
the railroads in any contest of theirs
against the people. When a law,
passed in good faith, to restrict rates
to certain bounds, is nnder discussion,
the law is a farce, don't amount to
anything, can't be enforced, is the
laughing-stock of the country, &c.
When it is fonnd ineffective, because
not self-enforcing, and a better
method is suggested, the Topics man
yells out that the people bad better
play with the doll they have ontil the
paint is worn off, before they cry for
another. What is wanted is effective
means of enforcing well-known legal
rights of individuals as against cor
porations, who now have literally the
power, if not always the disposition,
to wreak vengeance upon those who
fight for their rights. There is no
moneyed interest in this state which
begins to eqnal in importance that of
the reduction to a proper notch of the
railroad rates on freight, shipped in
and shipped out, and the facile pens
of the city editors will not be able to
belittle the issue with thinking people
by slurs and stupid epithets. "Do
no injustice nor allow none," is a good
enough motto for the people, and it
ought to be good enough for the
railroads.
The senior member of the Journal
firm recognizes the following de
scription of the old-time country
newspaper press, having been a par
ticipant :
"The form was made up and laid
on the press. The inker had two
large balls as large as a man's head
with handles fixed to them. These
balls were made of sheep-skin and
stuffed with wool. Near by was a
large board on which the ink lays.
He would dip one of the balls in the
ink and roll them round and round
against each other till he got the ink
properly distributed over the surface
of the balls and then he would, like a
drummer play Yankee Doodle over
the types till they were properly
inked. In the meantime the printer
had bis paper lying on the inclined
rack and throwing it over on the
form and taking hold of a long
horizontal lever with two or three
joints to give it the greater power,
would bring the presser down on the
typeB and take the impression on one
side of the paper. By this method au
edition of six hnndred copies could
be put tbrongh in half a day."
The following as descriptive of the
modern method in cities, he knows
by proxy :
"At one end of the press is a roll
of paper seven miles long. It feeds
itself into the press and when yon go
to the other end of the press, there it
is coming ont, each paper by itself,
printed on both sides, cut, pasted and
folded ready for the reader; a news
paper in. the aggregate seven miles
long.
Dr. Miller and Mayor Boyd are
now at Washington. It is believed
that the new administration has re
quested the presence of these gentle
men at headquarters for advice touch
ing the disposition and distribution
of the public offices in this state. We
hope that the party prejudices of
these gentlemen will not so govern
their action as to induce them to rec
ommend any person for office from
Nebraska to the presiaent or other
heads of appointing departments who
may be unfit or incompetent to fill
the office. Men from other states
have so persistently recommended
incompetent persons that the new ad
ministration has nearly lost all its
popularity and force in this direction.
Democrats or republicans from Ne
braska should not have any hands in
playing off tricks on the new admin
istration by false and deceitful repre
sentations of the qualifications of men
recommended for appointment to
office.
Thev have skilful surgeons and
doctors in Denver. The News gives
in detail a case conducted by Dr.
Armilage and J. L. Finch in which
they bled a dog to death and ho lay
dead for three hours, being in that
time very stiff and cold. The dead
dog was then put into a warm bath,
afterward warm water was injected
into his stomach, then blood taken
from a living dog was injected into
the dead dog. A compress was now
placed on the artery, and in twenty
two minutes alter the first blood was
injected ho sat up, after being dead
three hours and twenty minutes.
After two days' attentions in a warm
room he was turned out to run in

Railroad companies that want
state legislators and senators, con
gressmen and U. S. senators nnder
their thumb and at their dictation
have no use for newspapers of an in
dependent spirit, for editors who do
their own thinking and cannot be
bought to keep their mouths shut.
This Journal raises now a warning
voice to the people of Nebraska that
the fight is on for Van Wyck's suc
cessor in the United States senate;
the railroads have let slip their dogs
of war, the mud mills have begun
their work, and the pitch will be kept
at boiling beat.
W. W. Wilson, of Tecumseh, Neb.,
feeling aggrieved at some remarks
made by C. W. Pool, editor of the
Johnson County Journal, went over
to Sterling the other day fifteen miles
to whip the editor. Wilson met Pool
on the street, assaulted him,attempted
to draw a pistol. The editor reached
for him with his left hand, bit him in
the month, and he went to grass and
concluded that a retraction was not
necessary. The press should be free
bnt never at liberty to publish libels
The last news from Ft Pitt states
that Gen. Middleton returned the
other night from an unsuccessful
chase after Big Bear. The other af
ternoon orders were issued for all the
mounted force and Gatling guns to
hold themselves in readiness to pro
ceed to Big river "at once. Gen. Mid
dleton expects to intercept Big Bear.
The latter is now going almost due

Let ob see. The election of'U. S.
Senator is the next great event po
litical on the Nebraska boards, and
the railroad companies are already
moving for his defeat We venture
to say that there will be more news
paper ventures made with railroad
backing and "encouragement" than in
any five years of Nebraska's previous
history. "The old man" is to be
squelched, if railroad influence can
succeed In doing so. and one of the
most effective instruments is a sub
sidized press, with blatant professions
of loyalty to the people's interests.
The latest news from Whipple Bar
racks, New Mexico, states that a
courier had jost come in from Law
ton's camp and reports that while
Wood and Field were scouting in the
vicinity of Gnadalonpe canyon the

five men and two mules killed and
five stores burned. The camp was in
charge of a non-commissioned officer
and seven men. Indian scouts say
there were twenty-five or thirty In
dians in the party. Lawton and
Wood have gone on their trail.
It is claimed that President Cleve

to be distributed among favorites
under pretense of carrying the mails.
Similar to the grab that sought under
the guise of a river and harbor bill,
which Gen. Grant defeated by re
fusing to take the 'steps necessary to
make the money available.
The latest report from Madrid
states that the cholera is spreading
westward along the Mediterranean.
There are several cases in Perlu,

charm and intellectual brightness of
her articles, over the signature ".
A." have gained for her a large pub
lic recognition.
The Woman's Journal says "Mrs.
Napier Higgins is writing in England
a history of women in the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, to show that
the decay of chivalry, the rise of the
new learning, and the progress of the
reformation, marked an age in which
women were more influential in
politics, society and thought than they
had been before or have been since."
Alvin McGuire, one of the men
who attempted to rob the State Treas
ury last February, was acquitted the
other day by the jory in the district
court at Lincoln. The evidence of
the defense was to the effect that he
was inveighed into the scheme by
Daly, the decoy detective, who sup
plied him with whiskey and got him
full before the raid.
A preliminary British company
has just been formed with a capital
of $100,000 to make geological inves

Ed. Journal: In regard to J. J.
Maughan's uncalled abuse I would
have treated his scurrility with silence,
as the whole of the counterfeit lies are
well known in this region, had he not
tried to convey an impression on the
readers of the Journal that I would
be capable of destroying my own
property in the shape of a five hun
dred dollar bridge that I had erected
to connect two of my farms. No
doubt the structure was fired twice
and he, Manghan, seems now to know
more about the despicable act than
the people around here ever imagined.
He says if I want to know who did
the despicable deed, I can consult
public opinion, or he will give me
what there is in his bands gratis.
Now let me say to this man who per
forms the night watch, and with his
two choice indicators the north star
and the dog star when he takes the
bearings of an orchard, or locates a
melon patch, that verily be must know
something of the night's doings when
honest folks are asleep. He has just
gone far enough now, that the people
here say he ought to turn state's evi
dence and bring the guilty party to
justice. Readers of the Journal, do
you think he did it? Not a bit of it.
He knows too well the names of the
party up here whom Justice had
arrested for attempted arson. He is
well aware that somo of those beauti
ful names are spelt with a big M.
Judge, stand up and explain. Your
honor, where did stay and how
far off what yon call your home on
the last night the bridge was fired and
for what oration did be stay away
from home on that night and leave
his wife alone on the bluffs? Was it
to keep house while you were out?
Please stand up and explain ? did yon
help his mules to do some audible
grinning in the stable, or did you
oversee the gang as to how the kero
sene should be scattered before the
torch was set. Judge, stand up and
inform the readers of the Journal
how you came to have so much
knowledge of this dastardly act? If
you don't know anything about what
you have hinted at you are a full-born
fool to say what you did. If you do
know anything of the malicious crime
and don't come ont before the public
and tell it, yon ought to be jealously
watched and set down as a grand
rascal. Are some of your friends not
accused of seeing the lighted torch
applied? Now, Judge, don't be al
ways trying to foil the ends of justice.
You tried that game at the district
court and when district attorney Rob
erts squeezed the dirt out of you in
the presence of Judge Wakely and
hung yonr character out to dry so as
it could be inspected by all the law
abiding citizens of Platte connty.

casualties of the storms of Friday and
Sunday week.
Two men, one named Donohoe and
the other Smith, the former of Nor
folk and the latter of Burnett, are in
jail at this place on the charge of
adultery.
Last Tuesday evening when the
freight train, consisting chiefly of flat
cars loaded with gravel, stopped at
Burnett, several boys were standing
on the depot platform. As the train
started to poll out they began to dare
each other to jump on. Fred. Reeves
made a jump, struck on the gravel,
slipped and fell off the rear end of
the car. Seven cars passed over the
poor boy, crushing and mangling his
body in a horrible manner. His
uncle, Bob. Reeves, lifted him op, bat
life was extinct, and the body was
borne tenderly to the home. A tele
gram was sent to his paients, who
were in Canada visiting.
