Db. Milleb is again east. How
lucky is Dr. Miller and his friend J.
G. Higgins ?
The Pall Mall Gazette -has made a
wonderful stir in the aristocratic
. circles of England.
An exchange says President Cleve
land is looking wrinkled and care
worn, and so are a good many office
seekers.
Mrs. Bayabd, wife of the secretary
of state, was reported very ill the
other day and her recovery almost
hopeless.
The President has appointed Tur
ner D. Harrison, of the First National
Bank of Cincinnati, to be government
collector of tne Union Pacific railway.
o
Ex-Senator Francis Kernan has
"declined the appointment of govern
ment director of the Union Pacific
railroad recently tendered him by.the
President.
Until Andrew Jackson's time,
. office seekers were not permitted to
see the President. "To accomplish
that end now it would be necessary
to put out their eyes.
Doubtless the world is better and
and also worse than can be told. The
revelations -.of English society need
not' surprise very many people, who.
know what human natnre is.
These longing, office-seeking dem
ocratic editors who don't get some-
thing in the shape of pap from the
administration, are denouncing Gro
'ver without stint. Grand Island has
one, too.
o
A rei'obt comes from Washington
that Inspector Robinson has discov
ered a shortage of $500 in the accounts
of the postmaster at Ord, Neb. The
deficit was mado good, but the sure
. ties demand the removal of the post-
. master.
F. A. Brown and Moroni Brown,
'. two. prominent Mormons of Ogden,
Utah, have recently been convicted of
, unlawful cohabitation, and bentenced
by Judge Powers to six months' im-
.prisonment in the penitentiary and to
pay a fine of $300.
.The war department at Washington
0 City is in receipt of recent telegrams
1 from the Indian Territory, which
state that disaffected Indians are be
coming, quiet, and that there is a
favorabje outlook for a peaceful set
tlement of the Indian difficulties.
The failure of the Irish Monster
Bank the other day caused a' run on
other Irish banks. The Hibernian
Bank has been compelled to require
seven days notice of intention to
' withdraw deposits. The shares of
this bank have declined two pounds
twelve shillings.
From all reports President Cleve
land has become utterly disgUBted
with the horde of office-seekers and
would fain have the cholera make a
dcall upon the crowd and scatter them
to the four winds. We would advise
Higgins to slay at home and en
deavor to "nurse his wrath."
oTnrc Pall Mall Gazette announced
' the other afternoon that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Lon
don, Cardinal Manning and Hon.
. Sam Marley have consented to act as
a committee of iuquiry into the
charges of aristocratic iniquity made
by the Gazette, in its revelations made
during the pat week.
The Omaha Republican some days
ago claimiul considerable enterprise
. in-the way of gathering the latest
jjews, -and in the very same paper
published a supposed telegram from
this place, which must have been
. fished from cmnc accumulation of
undistributed matter, as the event had
occurred days before.
' The water commissioner has sold
op to the first of July $G58.C5 worth
of water and $217 worth of corpora

John iJoacii & Sox, the shipbuild
ers who built the dispatch boat Dol
phin for the government, made an
assignment the other day to Geo. W.
Quinlard, of New York City and Geo.
L. Weed, of Uampard, Conn. The
Dolphin trouble doubtless causes the
fifteen million dollar failure, and the
voluntary assignment of Roach & Son.
Lost. A small boom for the dis
trict judgeship which strayed from

A recent letter from the Omaha
Bee's Lincoln correspondent says':
"The railroad secretaries arc rather
stumped on a complaint entered by
John W. Sissle, of Columbus, who
wants the railroad company to build
a fence. This matter will be investi
gated and due attention given to it."
As we understand it, Mr. Sissle,
some time since constructed a fence
on three sides of a proposed field and
asked the R. R. Co. to pat up a fence
along their line, and so-complete a
field for the pasture of bis milch
cows. The law 6eems to contemplate
that the railroad companies build
such fence, without reference to
whether other land owners enclose up
to their line or not, but Mr. Sissle
only asked them to complete this en
closure. He tells as that he has had
to keep onffof his children away from
school this summer to herd his cattle
in this quasi field fronting on the rail
road, and be thinks if the .State of
Nebraska has not law enough, or her
people have not backbone enough to
ensure justice to individual citizens,
withonjt -compel ling one man to spend
all he is worth in lawing again Bt a
wealthy corporation, why then it is
better to pull up stakes, move out of
the -state, and let the railroads work
their will withont question or hin
drance, so far as he is concerned, and
there are a goodly number of people
who think much the same way. It is
to be hoped that the Board of Rail
road Commissioners will report on
this case without unnecessary delay,
because, like everything else connect
ed with the entire question, it is to
the highest interest of the stock-raisers
and farmers along the lines of
railroad, and to the railroads them
selves. Given good fields and pas
tures, more and better stock will be
raised and shipped, and more goods
will be purchased, and therefore
shipped in. Develop the country,
give better rates on what farmers
must have to live (6uch as coal, lum
ber, &c), help to fence as the law re
quires and as-tbe plainest dictates of
common 6ense direct, and the rail
roads will reap a rich 'advantage.
There isn'j any doubt about this. The
outrages, the oppressions, the needless
trifling with what ought to be sacred
individual rights have become so
commou on the part of corporate
power, that it is sometimes little won
der that there is a growing host who
are demanding the abolition of corpo
rations of all kind?., including govern
ment itself. The insane extreme of
the commune is the reverse side of
the picture of monopoly power, a
matched pair, and between the rapac
ity of the one aud the wild-eyed
ferocity of the other it is the present
important business of the able-minded
freemen of this country to see to it
that each force is held in check and
made to subserve the public welfare,
by not trenching upon individual
rights. When corporations ceae to
be cormorants, and learn to keep their
places as individual members of the
community, free as other to work iu
their legitimate business in a legiti
mate way, they will even find that
they have been foolishly wasting
money in seeking to control legisla
tures and governors, U. S. senators
and congressmen, by undue influence,
to gain advantages over the people in
the making of laws, or securing the
defeat of proposed statutes.
In grappling with the corporate
threat against good government, the
people have ten times the task as
against African slavery, aud the end
will not come, so long as the corpora
tions can work their will on the polit
ical parties, swaying to. this or that as
best suits them. The people, in their
political action, must sit down flat,
fall down plump and solid, upon the
henchmen of the railroad companies
who seek to "bos" the political ma
chines in the interest of their em
ployers. If the railroad companies and other
corporations do not purpose to take
and keep their proper places in the
grand march towards general pros
perity, peace and plenty, the sooner
the remainder of the procession know
it, the better for all concerned, and a
bait may just as well be railed uow,
and the matter determined.
We will even see if some good can
come from a railroad commission. If
some, then perchance more and more,
and much.
What say you, gentlemen, "Art is
long, and time is short," and back of
honest John Sissle there are a thous
and farmers who want fences at one
end of a field.
From a very lengthy article in the
Democrat, it wonld seem that thous
ands and tens of thousands of the
democracy voted for Cleveland, but
would have preferred some other
man. We judge that J. G. Higgins,
former probate jndge, former county
judge, later anti-monopoly nominee
for district judge, later still a suppos
ed applicant for official honors under
Grover Cleveland at the Grand Island
land office, waB one of the tens of
thousands. Has our friend's anxiety
and haste for that position soured his
stomach on the democratic adminis
tration? Cannot this individual
bourbon let the "High priest" minis
ter to the "brethren" as be may deem
best suited to their condition ? Who
is president, anyhow?
Lieut. W. H. Webb, connected
with the "Alert," on the Asiatic sta

on furlough pay for two years, and
that be retain his present number on
the list of lieutenant commanders
during that time. The recommenda
tions have been approved by Rear
Admiral Davis. Webb has been
ordered to the United States.
The President has appointed Gil

The establishment of the Union
Stock Yards at Omaha seems destin
ed to prove of eery great benefit sot
only to the metropolis of the state,
but to the state at large.
The Yards, says the Cultivator,
from which we condense," are about
two and a half miles south of the city.
The lands belonging to the syndicate
consist of 1800 acres laid off in lots
60x150 feet, with streets 80 feet and
alleys 20 feet wide. '
Extensive water works have already
been provided, the supply of water
coming from a stream fed by springs.
Two pomps with a capacity of 1,500
gallons a minute, and a stand pipe
with a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons
are a part of the workB. The syndi
cate owns 100 meat preparing estab
lishments in this country and Europe,
400 refrigerator cars and ample re
frigerator accommodations on several
ocean steamers.
'The receipts of stock at this point
now (July 1st) are averaging 300 head
a day, and yet the real run of the
range cattle has not commenced.
There are nearly a dozen buyers for
eastern dealers located at the yards
besides Hammond & Co. and the
local purchasers. At a low estimate
the yearly sales will foot up $4,500,
000; which would be allowing about
$50 per head. The prices, however,
are far in advance of this. Wagner,
Savage & Saunders, of whom Ham
mond & Co. purchase largely, have
been making sales of 1200 and 1300 lb.
steers at $5.20, which would make an
average of $C2. W. F. Brown & Co.
sold 34 head of steers for Grand
Island parties the other day, which
'averaged 1200 lbs., at $5.40, and 42
bead which averaged 1200 lbs., at
$5.20. Tbey also sold about the same
date, in one batch, 199 hogs at $3 65
per hundred which weighed 49,
380 lbs.
Hammond & Co. at the present
time are shipping five refrigerator
cars of beef a day, to do which they
have to kill 200 head of stock every
twenty-four hours.
The purchases and sales at the
yards are steadily increasing, as well
as the shipments of fresh and packed
meats. In fact, the volume of the
business has assumed wonderful pro
portions, considering the short time
the yards have been established. In
every way there is nothing of which
Omaha should feel more proud, and
nothing which shows its commercial
importance more than these very
yards. It will be our pleasure to re
port in each issue the progress of this
great meat mart, for it is a subject
that cannot fail to attract the attention
of all stock growers and tillers of the
soil in the Central West."

It has all along been conceded that
the law as laid down by the courts,
(wherever they have been invoked),
has been all that was desirable; all
that has been and is needed is indi
vidual men of pluck, independence
aud some means to enforce their just
rights uuder the law. The following
lets a little light into the matter, in
this state. We clip from the Omaha
Herald:
"About six months ago two ship
pers of Blue .Spring employed Burke
& Front, of that place, as attorney?,
and asked for a maudamus in the
State Supreme Court to compel the
B. & M. to stop its trains at that
place. Yesterday, says the Beatrice
Express, the Supreme Court, now in
session at Lincoln, issued a raan
damuB ordering the company within
sixty days to build a depot, side track,
switches and everything iu that con
nection necessary to the operation of
freight and passenger business. The
court also ordered that the company
should not in its business dealings
discriminate against the town. This
is the first case of the kind ever
brought iu this State, and the result is
of interest, no doubt, to people in
other towns. The people of Blue
Springs are rejoicing over the result,
as this order of tho court virtually
secures the towu another railroad."
The Blair Pilot made arrangements
with the census enumerators of four
townships of Washington county, to
keep an accurate account of the losses
of bogs for the year ending June 1st,
;85, and the result is:
"In Arlington township the aggre
gate losses are returned as Tollows:
Hogs, 1,784 ; pigs, 3,390. In Lincoln
township the aggregate losses are:
Hogs, 1,719; pigs, 3,081. In Grant
and Cuming townships the number of
hogs and pigs lost are not kept separ
ate, but the value as reported by the
loserB. is given. Grant township
loses 3,846 hogs and pigs, valued at
$25,245.00; Cnming City township
loses 4,537 hogs and pigs valued at
$29,17000."
It looks now as though the scourge,
which has taken thousands of dollars
from the farmers, and consequently
the business of Douglas, Washington,
Burt, Dodge, Sarpy and Cass coun
ties the past year, was about to strike
further west and north. We learn of
some cases near the northeastern part
of Platte, in Colfax county, and if
better care and feed can prevent its
6pread, now is tho time to begiu pre
cautionary measuros.
Several, persons have died from
eating poisoned dried beef at Kanka
kee, 111., and several other persons
were reported last week as still in a
critical condition. The imperfect in
vestigation to ascertain the cause of
the poison resulted in the opinion
that this beef had been taken from an
animal deceased or from beef partially
decomposed. There ought to be some
speedy method of detecting aud
punishing everybody engaged in pre
paring unwholesome and poisoned
meats or other articles intended for
the public use. Such cases are be
coming too frequent and demaud a
little wholesome punishment.
Five thousand acres of the Omaha
Indian lands were to be appraised by
three appraisers, one of whom was
to be a member of the tribe. It ap
pears that the President could not
find two democrats in Nebraska
suitable for the place, and has ap
pointed one from Mississippi and one
from Georgia to do that work. This
is going qnite a good ways from
home to find men who are supposed
to know more about the value of
Nebraska lands than its own citizens.
This is a reform we confess we were
not expecting, from the new administration.

treated with Iodide of Potash, which
produced rheumatism. My feet and
legs -were greatly swolleu, so that I
could uot walk. About one year ago
I was induced to try Swift's Specific,
which soon removed the trouble in
my limbs, and my rheumatism is uow
entirely gone and my cancer is stead
ily improving, being better now than
at any time within two years. This
medicine has done me more good
than anything else I have taken, aud
I feel that I am on the road to a
speedy cure. Undoubtedly Swift's
Specific is the best blood purifier in
the world."

I have bad a cancer on my face for
many years. I have tried a great
many remedies, but without relief. I
almost gave np hope of ever being
cured. Dr. Hardmau, my son, re
commended Swift's Specific, which I
have taken with great results. My
face is almost well, and it is impossi
ble for me to express my thanks in
words for what this medicine has
done for me.
