The Feaalea Appropriation.
The pension appropriation act for the
current fiscal year appropriated $80,400,
000 for the payment of pensions, and
$8,000,000 was also appropriated for the
same purpose to meet a threatened defi
ciency, making a total appropriation of
988,400,000. This whole amount will be
necessary to meet the demands of the
pensioners, and it may be that there will
be a deficiency, but it is said at the pen
sion office there is no truth in the state
ment that $105,000,000 will be expended
for pensions during the fiscal year. H.
CL Bell, chief of the agents of the divis
ion of the pension office, who is entrust
ed with the duty of seeing to the ex
penditure of pension appropriations, says
the appropriation for the next fiscal
year, $80,400,000, is too small, and that
there will be a deficiency of about $15,
000,000. General Black, he says, did not
ask for enough money to prevent a defi
ciency, even on the basis of the expendi
tures then existing.
THSICE PRONOUNCED DEAD.
Mfcw Kate Pattea Passes Threagn Horrit'"
Experience.
Pretty Kate Patten of Boston has just
passed through a horrible experience
which has aroused no little interest in
medical circles. Miss Patten, who is 22
years old, after suffering four days from
diptheria, was pronounced dead Monday
by the physicians who attended her.
She ceased to breathe and the heart dis
continued its action. Just as the physi
cians were leaving the room after
straightening her limbs, their patient
began to show signs of life and in a
short time was able to converse with her
relatives. Though very weak, she was
able to 'say in a low voice, "I am not
dead.' A few hoars later the strange
proceedings ware again gone through,
the patient again rallying. A third at
tack was mote prolonged than either of
the previous ones, and even the family
of the girl believed her dead, and prepa
rations for laying out the body were
naade. The patient had been in this
state .for at least an hour, when she
again showed signs of life, and shortly
after the doctors pronounced her com
paratively out of danger and in a hope-waoaditaOfi.

Memorial Day is again at hand, and
the men yet living of the hosts who
helped save the Union in the civil war
of 1861-5, will gather, here and there,
tomorrow, to commemorate the memory
of those of their late comrades who have
passed "beyond the starry tent."
Twenty-eight years ago, the fierce
storm of civil war broke over this coun
try, and raged until more than three
hundred thousand human beings perish
ed on the side of the Union, and more
than a hundred and sixty thousand of
their foes, the Confederates; millions
upon millions of treasure were wasted
or destroyed; scores of thousands were
made widows and orphans, and all this
that our government should be pre
served intact, and our free institutions
be transmitted to our children. These
precious lives our brothers, sons,
fathers, neighbors were dedicated to
the continuance of good government
here, and their struggle forms one of the
darkest and yet brightest pages in our
history, full of suffering, carnage, death,
yet glorious for the peaoe it has brought
It was mainly the younger men of
that day who enlisted in their country's
service men of fifty now, were twenty
two then. The boys of '61, are the older
men of today; the raven locks have
changed to gray; cares have come with
the added years; Time has seemingly
been more kind to some of the boys
than to others, but he has placed his
mark upon all, and not very many more
years will pass until all will be a
memory.
Do what we will, we can never ade
quately appreciate the sacrifice these
men made, in offering their all of health
and strength and life upon the altar of
their country's welfare.
Let us do what we may to honor their
memory, to help the wounded and the
weak who have fallen by the wayside
and care for the widows and the orphans,
so that, when our country calls again for
help, she will find as willing sons as
those of '61, to stand for the right and
for enduring peace. Let us see to it
that, so far as each of us is concerned,
and as we may be able, our institutions
shall be worthy the heroes who have
laid down their lives for us.
The Land Oaf.ee Standard.
The opinion of the United States su
preme court in the case of the United
States vs. JohnD. Hall, is the subject of
earnest discussion among the officers of
the general land office. One of the points
at issue was that Hall had made oath
before a notary public. The supreme
court decided that where an oath was
required by the United States statute
that oath can be administered only by
an officer of the United States. Hence
a notar - public, being a state officer,
cannot administer oaths to United
bdtes officials, except when the statutes
specifically state that the oath may be
made before such state official. This
opinion, it is believed, seriously affects
the statutes of more than a hundred
thousand cases in the mineral division
alone of the general land office. Deputy
mineral surveyors have for several years
sworn to correctness of their statements
before notaries public During the last
four years a large number of cases, un
der the general land law have been re
ceived for patents at the general land
offioe where final proof was not made
before an officer designated by law for
that purpose. Where no other error
was found they have been allowed to go
to patent This polioy was first adopted
by Secretary Vilas. The opinion of the
supreme court has created alarm. A re
quest for the interpretation of section
2JS35, revised statutes, has. been sent to
Assistant Attorney General Shields
with particular reference to the supreme
court decision and its effect upon pend
ing cases in the general land office.

shows Marshal Jones and his deputies
to have been guilty. The information
gathered by the special agents will be

fraudulently obtained.

Captain Goodrich's near Meadow Grove,
went home drunk last night and began
to abuse his wife. Goodrich, hearing of
it went over to stop it, when Hutchins
shot him through the stomach. Hutch

The season of mad dogs has arrived

Jim McKillip was plowing and attacked
him. Jim picked up a singletree which
happened to be close at hand and with
the assistance of his own dog succeeded
in killing the mad canine. Mr. Allen has
since killed his dog. We are also inform

The State Medical society finished the
work of its annual meeting at Kearney
Thursday evening. The session through
out has been intensely interesting. The
papers read were of a high standard
showing that the medical fraternity of
Nebraska is made up of scholars who
are up to the demands of the time. The
election of officers for the ensuing term
resulted as follows: President, Dr. J. G.
Denise of Omaha, first vice-president,
Dr. D. A. Walden of Beatrice, second
vice-president Dr. G. L. Humphreys of
Kearney, recording secretary, Dr. M. L.
Hildreth of Lyons, corresponding secre
tary, Dr. L. A. Merriam of Omaha, treas
urer Dr. W. M. Knapp, superintendent
of the state insane asylum, Lincoln.
Beatrice was selected as the place to
hold the next meeting. There were
present during the sessions over one
hundred doctors. Thursday evening a
banquet and ball was given by the citi
zens to the visiting physicians.
The Reporter, while not particularly
averse to the cistern system and steam
er for protection against fire, is in favor
of waterworks. The greatest objection
to waterworks is their cost, and it is
doubtful whether, under the law, we can
vote a sufficient amount in bonds to put
in such a system of waterworks as we
would need. We have seen the cistern
and engine system thoroughly tried, and
know it to be a complete success. In
Lincoln, Omaha and other large cities
where they have waterworks they also
have steamers, and the steamers do the
effective work. The waterworks in a
number of towns in this state do not
come up to expenditures, and when
their cost and the expense of running
them is taken into consideration, they
are a very expensive luxury. A great
many places in Nebraska that have put
on metropolitan airs of this kind now
wish they hadn't A good steamer with
a good system of cisterns, will furnish
Seward with the best of fire protection
for years to come at one third of the cost
of waterworks, to say nothing of the
great difference in the cost of running
and maintaining the two systems.

RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD SETTLER.
BTTKOOhUB.
After the location of the territorial
capital at Omaha the people of the dis
appointed localities, and of most other
towns were envious of the advantages
that had accrued to her therefrom, and
in particular was this the case with
Florence and Belkyue. Douglas county
originally embraced what is now Sarpy,
and at the second session of the legisla
ture was divided into two representative
districts, tbe north and south, South
Douglas comprising what is now Sarpy
county and electing by themselves one
councilman and one representative. At
the third session, Gen. L. L. Bowen was
the councilman and Silas A. Strickland
the representative. Lieut Gov. Mo
Conias of Virginia and his associates had
claimed a town site on the public lands
in Lancaster county, then nearly unin
habited and platted Douglas City, which
near where tfneoln ia. and a large I
number of shares of stock had bsen'ance.
- . . i
issued to be used for procuring the re
moval of the capitoL Soon after the
legislature convened in the winter of
1856-7 a bill was introduced in the bows
to remove the capitol to Dovrkp City.
Shares of stock in the new city had been
liberally distributed among the
bers, and the speaker of the house
in favor of the measure. The opposition
was led by A. J. Hanscom and James
Seeley members from Omaha. Seeley's
brother had received the certificate of
election from Dodge county and was
voting in the interest of Omaha; his seat
was contested by Thomas Gibson, who
had received a less number of votes, but
was in sympathy of the majority, on the
ground that he had not resided in the
county a sufficient length of time, which
appearing to be the cause, he was un
seated, but the majority could not con
sistently seat his opponent
The bill was championed by S. A
Strickland, who was opposed by Hans
com and Seeley, feebly assisted by Har
rison Johnson and Mike Murphy, the
other members.
Filibustering tactics were resorted
to with suooeas for days. A motion for a
call of the house being disposed of, a
member was immediately on his feet
with a motion for adjournment, on which
tbe ayes and nays would be demanded.
Finally the bill got before the house for
discussion, and the opposition consum
ed all the time they could in discussion,
but as there is a limit to physical en
durance, the bill at last was put upon
its passage, and sent to the council
where the same tactics were adopted by
the opposition, led by Dr. Miller and S.
E. Rogers, but they were not able to
continue the fight as long as their more
robust associates in the house, and the
bill was passed and sent to the governor,
Mark W. Izard, who retained it the
limit of time allowed, and then sent it to
the house with a veto message in which,
in reply to the argument for a more cen
tral location, he argued that the country
west of the Elkhorn river was unfit for
settlement and cultivation and conse
quently that river would always be the
western limit of settlement, a position
that would hardly be considered tenable
at the present time.
At the time of the reception of this
message a few of the members of the
majority had been previously "seen" by
the managers of the Omaha Land com
pany, and the first test vote taken
showed that the two-thirds vote neces
sary to pass it over the veto had "gone
glimmering."
At the following session of 1857-8 a
majority of the members elected favored
the removal of the capitol, and the sub
ject was introduced early in the session
and the majority claiming that the legis
lature were intimidated by the Omaha
lobby, passed a resolution to adjourn to
Florence, where they went and held
their sessions, removed the seat of gov
ernment to Douglas City, and a mass of
other legislation that suited them. The
Omaha and a number of other members,
among whom was Sterling Morton, re
mained at the state house, met every
day and adjourned for want of a quorum
until the session expired. The rump
legislature at Florenoe also adjourned,
and received no pay, but these who re
mained in Omaha drew their per diem
for the full term. Win. A. Richardson.
the newly appointed governor,. arrived
about this time, and it soon -became
definitely settled in the minds of all,
that the seat of government of a terri
tory, after it had once been located and
an appropriation for capitol buildings
made, could not be removed until it be
came a state, and no further discussion
of the matter was made until the spring
of 1867, when the first legislature under
the state constitution convened.
In the spring of 1866 there appeared
here a young Irishman named John E.
Kelley in the capacity of a buokboard
driver in the employ of the Western
Stage company, driving between Buch
anan and Columbus, who at that time
run stages and buokboarda on alternate
days between Omaha and Kearney. He
was a long-haired, orankish looking
individual who had just graduated from
the law department of the Michigan
University, and being broke, adopted
that means to get a little raise. In the
autumn of that year, the railroad having
been completed to this place, his occu
pation was gone, and he located here to
practice law. His inclinations were to
ward politics and he commenced to work
for the republican nomination for repre
sentative for the territorial and state
legislatures. While at Buchanan he had
ingratiated himself with the two or three
republicans there, and had their sup
port in the convention, and managed to
secure enough delegates to receive the
nomination over Leander Gerrard. The
democrats nominated James E. North
and, strange as it seems, the carpet-bagger
was elected by an insignificant ma
jority. When the state legislature met
in the spring of 1867, and the location of
the seat of government was being con
sidered, our prospects would have been
favorable had it not been that we were
opposed by our own representative, or
the man who should have been such, and
whose votes were always cast in favor of
Lincoln, and being in the ring in the
distribution, he acquired considerable
property there, and in a abort time be
came in affluent circumstances, and
never returned to the bosom of his con
stituents, and though it might have been
said of him
'That whither be went and how be fared.
Nobody knew and nobody cared,"
he was heard of as residing in St Louis
and Denver, and is supposed to now re
side at Alma in this state, having lost
most all of his ill-gotten gains, which no
one need regret, and it is to be presum
ed that on each recurring anniversary of
the election of 1866, those now here who
supported him, either through partisan
ship, or yielding to his magnetasoretire
into their back yards and kick them
selves vigorously.

the wives of all Union soldiers, aad au
loyal women have the recognition das to
their position as auxiliaries to oar posts
and helpers in our glorious cause.
And wherever camps of the 8ons of
Veterans exist let them especially be
encouraged to join with us in tbe ob
servance of the day. Not many years
hence the patriotic duties of Memorial
Day will devolve upon them, and it is
fitting that they ahould early become
imbued with the spirit and possessed of
a knowledge of the grand achievements
of their fathers in saving a nation for
them and for the generations yet to
come.
Let the patriotic citizens of the repub
lic be also invited to join with you.
Let the school teachers and: children
be invited, and especially enoouraged to
assist in hallowing the memory of our
loyal dead. Wherever possible, let the
lessons of patriotic reverence, heroio de-

nation, and the self-sacrincing heroiam
of the men whose loss today we mourn
be earnestly inculcated. Let the flags,
appropriately draped, be carried by them
as they shall join in our processions.
On this saored day let all business be
laid aside; and let us recall with deepest
reverence the heroic virtues and the lof

At the hour of high twelve noon
wherever possible, let all bells be tolled
for ten minutes, and let dirges be played
by bands throughout the day.
On Sunday proceeding Memorial Day,
let every post in a body attend some
place of divine worship. Post Chaplains
will see that a record be kept of, and a
report made to, the proper officer of such
service.
On this same Sunday also, the clergy
men of the state, of all denominations,
are most earnestly invited to deliver dis
courses appropriate to the occasion, in
memory of our loyal dead.
It is fitting on this centennial anni
versary of the establishment of constitu
tional government by the inauguration
of the immortal Washington, that atten
tion be called to the patriotic services of
the men through whom the grand work
he created a government of liberty reg
ulated by law was preserved. The ruth
less hands of treason were notpermitted
to accomplish its overthrow. The grand
est service we can now render to our
country is to stimulate and encourage
the observance of this day.

Washington, founded this glorious re

likewise rapidly passing over to join the
ranks of those who have gone before.
But the record of their splendid achieve

living, and now being written in im
perishable history, is affectionately re
called today, and the mighty revolts of
their work a government redeemed and
saved, free in fact as well as in name,

grow dim with tears as you recall your
love for your precious, sleeping dust
Others still, mutilated beyond recog
nlt on, fill unknown and unmarked
graves. Long ere this kindly nature has
smiled, and in proline generosity has
performed the work of your loving hands
today. Flowers of richest fragrance and
loveliest tints, open their petals to kiss
the morning light upon these unknown
graves, and the balmy winds of the south
chant their requiem.
Comrades, let us cherish the highest
regard for our patriot dead; let us strive
to comprehend the greatness of the sac
rifice they made to preserve for us and
for our children the republic of the
fathers. While we recall their patient
sufferings and their sublime martyrdom
in a holy and just cause, let it be remem
bered that all this was for you, for me,
for the unborn generations of the fu
ture. Let us become imbued with the same
spirit of loyal consecration which ani
mated them, and this grand republic of
the fathers, sanctified and redeemed
through the sacrifices of their sons,
" shall not perish from the earth."
"True men ye fell; and faithful to the last,
Thoagh OTerpowered by death, yet etill in
death
Unconqnrred. Holy be your memories!
Bleated and glorious now and erennore
Be your heroic names."

Crops are in good condition now.
Corn planting is nearly completed in
this vicinity.
Gerhard Loseke is doing considerable
hauling of lumber lately.
Our assessor, Siebert Heibel, has about
finished his annual rounds.
T. M. Wilson was having some road
work done on the south side of Martin
Mier's pasture last week. This place
needed fixing up badly as the adjacent
land being fenced in now, does not al
low travel over it as before.
A number of invitations were extend
ed to the folks of this neighborhood to
be present at a party at John Boe's in
the evening of the 21st Quite a large
crowd gathered and the young folks
made merry with dancing and feasting
until the "wee ama' " hours of the morn
ing, when they dispersed with a feeling
that they had all had a good time,
which was also our opinion of the af
fair. The music for the occasion was
furnished by Fred Shadd, Adolph Shadd
Charles Brush and Mr. Shaffroth.
John Heibel had a very narrow escape
from death one" day last week. While
returning" from Columbus bis wagon
was ran into by Gerhard Loseke's team,
which became entangled in the front
wheel. The tongue of the wagon struck
Mr. Heibel in tbe aide, inflicting severe
injury. George Hodel happened along
at the time and took him home. Medi
cal aid was immideately summoned, but
the doctor said that no bones were brok
en nor did he think he was injured in
ternally. At present he is still in a
dangerous condition, but we hone for a
ptMJ recovery.

Corn planting is all done and a great
deal of it is coming up nicely.
A good rain would be very much ap
preciated just now. .
The new dwelling house of Bud. Jenni
is almost completed. It is a very nice
and convenient building.
Mr. Muth is also erecting a large
Mies Emma Bsinke closed her three
months term of school here with a very
pleasant entertainment last Friday. She
gave very good satisfaction as a teacher.
Geo. V. Thielman says "that he is now
a married man and there's no fooling
about it" We do not doubt it George;
we never do when we'aee a fellow who is
making that experiment He came, he
saw, and he conquered, it was not
Julius Csjaar, but "Byron" who carried
way one of Neboville's prettiest and
best girls on suoh short notice, without
even leaving a stump of a cigar for our
astonished boys. "Byron," is that the
way you remember your vows of eternal
friendship to the hay-seed nine of "87?
Boys of Loseke creek, where did yom
leave your courage when calling at Mr.
Wise's residence last Sunday night? We
are aure that gentleman would rather
have listened to the most simple music
than to have his garden all trampled up
as it was! Old bachelors of this vicinity
need not be afraid of serenadera if they
ahould take the fatal step unless some
one would strike the bright idea to take
the cows along, then we would at least
hear the bells ring even if the drummer
boy who was to sound the old boiler
should slip behind a plum brush again.
We started out to gather up some
news lately and even auoceeded in getting
a few, when lo! a gust of that air puri
fier of Grand Prairie struck us and
scattered them who knows where? No
one was hurt however. b. t.
A New Move.

The second excursion from New Eng
land to Crete will leave the east this
week.
Three days is a very abort time in
which to cure a bad case of rheumatism;
but it can be done, if the proper treat
ment is adopted, as will be seen by the
following from James Lambert, of New
Brunswick, His. "I was badly afflicted
with rheumatism in my hips and less.
I
1 when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
I Pain Balm. It cured me in three days.
I am all right today; and would insist on
every one who is afflicted with that ter
rible disease, to use Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and get well at onoe." For sale
by all druggists.
Pinkeye prevails at Oakland.
It waa mentioned by the late Horace
LGreely, that nothing "succeeds like suc
cess!" If this be true, Chamberlain's
Cough Bemedy will always be popular,
aa it never fails. It is intended, especial
ly for coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing cough, and is undoubtedly the beet
and moat reliable medicine in use for
those diseases. It is decidedly a success.
