BURST THE BARS.
ft
Two Inmates of Platte Conaty'a Cage Take
Le? Rail nad Skin. ''
Platte county's cage is a pretty solid
place in which to keep prisoners, and
doubtless when they are securely looked'
in, "there they are" for good. But last
Saturday morning's developments
showed that the door is sometimes
locked after the escape is made.
Sheriff Kavanaugh, in contemplation
of a trip east, employed Charles Wako to
look after matters in the city, while
Deputy Campbell should be engaged in
out-of-the-city duties. Friday last
Campbell was away on business of the
office, returning at a late hour. He re
ceived from Wake the only key there is
to the cage, retired for the night, in tho
room adjoining the jail, slept the sleep
of the tired official, waked up in the
morning, called to the men in the cage
(as he supposed,) asking if they wanted
any fire, and was surprised that he got
no answer. On investigation he found
they had gone out at one of the windows.
The explanation is that when Wake gave
them their supper, he went out after
coal, and that when he returned and
locked the door, he did not notice that
the prisoners were outside the cage and
not inside.
This is Sheriff Kavanaugh's view of
the situation. He says that he had
given strict orders that the prisoners be
kept at all times in the cage. They are
tho young men, Martin Moriarity aifil
James Morrissey, held for trial on a
charge of rape.
Sheriff Kavanaugh offers a reward of
S50 for the capture of the men.
They were seen on the road from here
to Platte Center, and provided them
selves with horses.
Shell Creek Gleaning.
Mr. J. S. Henrich of Denver arrived in
Platte Center a few days ago. His health
failing at office work he will farm for
awhile. Ho has rented the farm of Mr.
Wm. Bloedorn, his brother-in-law, with
a view of buying it, and Mr. F. Leefeld,
who had rented the farm thus far, is
now going to work it for Mr. J. S. Hen
rich, he having gone back to Denver to
prepare for moving.
Rev. A. Henrich is slowly improving,
being ont a little on fino days.
Mr. C. VanAUen and his son-in-law,
Mr. John Kerr, have bought out Mr.
Solomon and have now the n. w. quarter
of school land, sec. 36, town 19, range 3
west.
Mr. G. Kaul has quit making brick at
Platte Center a good chance for an
other man.
A Baptist church has been organized
hat Humphrey, of some forty German
members mostly from Shell creek Bap
tist church (German) Rev. Mr.Beuthack,
pastor. That gentleman and Rev. A.
Henrich being both sick at the time,
Rev. Mr. Trantschel of Beatrice happen
ing to be here collecting, presided at the
organization. The new church has not
yet called a pastor.
Mr. Owen Parry, an excellent young
Welshman, is batching it on a part of
the old so-called "Bloomingdale stock
farm." Rather lonesome and uncom
fortable such a way of living, isn't it?
Mr. P. is otherwise in comfortable cir
cumstances. Mr. George Morkmore has rented of
Mr. Gluck the old HeinemanV.farm on
Shell creek. Mr. M. is an industrious
and able farmer worthy of confi
dence. Mr. J. S. Henrich has ordered a
granary to be built on Wm. Bloedorn's
farm. It will bo used for a dwelling till
fall. He has bought out Mr. Leefeld,
stock, horses, implements and all.
Subscriptions for the now $25,000
Catholic church to bo built at Platte
Center are being taken. If the coming
harvest is good, it will be built surely.
Mr. J. A. Kehoo having resigned his
position as grain buyer, another man
has taken his place. There is also to be
a change in tho business of the farmers'
elevator, Mr. Morrissey having quit.
Tho writer has not learned who the
happy occupant will be. Mr. Kehoe is
an experienced grain buyer. He will
hereafter conduct a business on his own
account, and will no doubt make it a
success. "The more the merrier."
The prospect for farming is excellent,
tho ground being well saturated with
moisture. The warm rain yesterday
started tho grass. x. T. z.

W. H. Selsor of Geneva was in the ci
ty Thursday on his way to Humphrey and
gave the Journal a pleasant call on bu
siness. He is very pleasantly located;
the seven lots which he purchased some
weeks ago in Geneva as a site for his
new dwelling-house, have already advan
ced a fourth in value. Mr. Selsor has
been a resident of Platte county nine
teen years, is an old soldier, and an ar
dent republican. In that time he has
been (with but three exceptions we be
lieve,) a delegate of his township to the
county convention, and several times he
has been a delegate of the county to dis
trict and state conventions, and our coun
ty gatherings will be lonely without him.
A most excellent citizen, the Jodbxaii is
very sorry to see Mr. Selsor remove to
another part of the state.
There is no danger from whooping
cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is freely given. It liquefies the
tough, tenacious mucus and aids in its
expectoration. It also lessens the se
verity and frequency of the paroxysms
of coughing, and insures a speedy re
covery. There is not the least danger
in giving it to children or babies, as it
contains no injurious substance. 50 cent

Oace More. A Christian Bnrial for Chris
tians Only.
v- "Editor Jocbkai: Again Mr. Miessler
;tUra a feeble wail (not even attempting
an-argument) in defence -of his former
blunder in the "Martin Heintz matter."
With tremulous muttering he says:
"The broad views of Christianity which
characterize our nineteenth century,
are not contained in the scrip
tures, arc not the loving Savior's teach'
ings."
Whatever maybe the merits or de
merits of "Martin Heintz's life and
death," it has drawn attention to the
"scriptures," as evidenced by the many
quotations made by the several., corre
spondents engaged in the "Miessler
AnnfrAraiwv
I think it was Holmes, who wrote
"We are like omnibuses, in which all
our ancestors ride." I never saw its
forcefulness, as when I read the above
utterance of Mr. M.. I involuntarily ex
claimed, surely the ancestors of 1521 to
1516 were riding in Mr. Miessler's "om
nibus." As indicated in a recent issue.
.-with yonr permission I resume my
review of Rev. H. Miessler's article.
'A Christian Bnrial for Christian
only." I admit, as he says, "The bnrial
of the dead, taken in the abstract, is
simply a common, civil, human affair, a
duty of love which all mankind owes its
dead." Only this and nothing more was
asked for Martin Heintz. "The unbe
lieving world also has its dead to bury,
and it may do this in any manner it
pleases; that does not concern us chris
tians in the least." An unfeeling utter
ance when compared with the teachings
'of the Divine Master, who himself con
tinually went about doing good, incul
cating, nay more, enjoining upon his
disciples a solicitude and watch-care
oter their fellows, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself."
"This is the first and Rreat command.
To love thy God abote.
And this the second as thyself,
Thjr neighbor, thou shalt love.
Who is my neighbor? He who wants
Tho help which thou canst Kive,
And both the law and prophets sny
ibis ao, ana mou eiiait live.
Luke in his testimony and record, says
in chap. 10, verse 31, "And by chance,
there came down a certain priest, that
way: and when he saw him, he passed
by on tho other side." From the 25th to
the 37th verse of this chapter would
take up too much space to quote, but
whoever will read them will find a loving
refutation of Mr. M's flippant sarcasm,
that it "does not concern us christians
i the least."
i While the promises are for the godly,
"i. e. a true believer in Jesus Christ,"
the cursings are for the godless, "avowed
unbeliever." These definitions made by
tne ivov. gentleman nimseii, uo not au
thorize "a christian," though he be a
reverend (a questionable title at best),
to sit in judgment and deny his fellows,
what the "Christ of God" commanded
his servants to perform. See I Cor.
4-6; 13-4, a hard lesson to learn, for those
who prided themselves in "being Abra
ham's seed," the oracles of God. John
8-33. Rev. Miessler says "that does not
concern us christians in the least" what
the unbelieving world may do with their
dead, "we aro in good standing," as evi
denced "with regard to a christian burial
performed with christian, churchly rites
and ceremonies."
"1 christian bnrial is a public testi
mony of honor." I wish I could shout
amen to this italicised phrase. Many a
man receives a christian burial as de
fined by Mr. Miessler, not as "a public
testimony of honor" but because he is
"in good standing" in our church, as
people say, and that, too, with no more
godly traits than many "an unbelieving
sinner."
The Divino Master (whoso servants
his ministry aro), went wherever sin and
wretched humanity dwelt, continually
doing good, not shunning tho unclean
outcasts, and those who spent their
lives "in sins, vices and infamy," wheth
er in life or at death. Is the servant
any greater than his Lord? Judge not
lest thou be judged, John 7, 1-6.
Mr. M. refers to the Masonic order in
support of his "godless" theory. Whence
do the Masonic order and other kindred
institutions, the Odd Fellows, Knights
of Pythias, get their sublime and im
pressive ceremonies lor tho burial of
their dead, but' from tho christian re
ligion? Is it any less a christian burial
though no titled priest .conduct it? It
may not be according to "churchly rites
and ceremonies." Talmago says, we
havo more "churchianity than Christian
ity." Among the churches, he ought to
know whereof he speaks. Perhaps the
Rev. Miessler s church was one on which
the Brooklyn divino turned his gun that
Sabbath morning.
I might ask "what is a christian?"
Mr. M. defines his idea of one, but before
I had interrogated the church organiza
tions even in this city, I should become
bewildered ere I had mastered their
creeds, as witnessed in the episode at
the close of tho late reviv.nl in this com
munity. And yet I doubt if one of our
Protestant ministers would have refused
to bury "old Martin Heintz," not for the
dead s sake, but to pour balm into the
hearts of the living friends, they would
not have given them a stone and called
it bread. "A cup of cold water" (evi
dently a menial act) had its reward, so
in caring for the dead, that they be not
neglected and unbnried. "Wheresoever
thou findest tho dead, take them and
bury them and I will give thee a place
first in my resurrection," so wrote the
prophet.
Mr. M., in defining the kind of bnrial
"a christian" should have, says: "And
the christian church has at all times
honored her dead by accompanying them
to their final rest with various church! v
rites and ceremonies, always, however,
and above all things, with singing,
prayers and preaching of tho word of
God, and has laid their bodies in the
bosom of the earth as a precious seed
of God."
We are now brought face to face with
the real issue of Mr. Miessler's article.
On February 4th last, Chris. Heintz, the
twin brother of Martin, died. Mr. M.
gave him, at his funeral, just such a
burial as he has outlined "with christian
churchly rites and ceremonies." Tho
line drawn by Mr. M. between christian
and heathen leaves Chris. Heintz with
his brother Martin among "the heathen,
infidels and godless people." Chris, was
not so blunt and irreverent in speech as
was Martin, so as to provoke harsh
criticism, he nevertheless stood among
the godless, making no pretensions to
care for the ministry of the word, "but
believed that he could dispense with the
society of the church of Christ." Tho
testimony of his life, as well as the sur
viving members of the family, attest this
statement. Yet Mr. M. says "To bury
as christians those who have lived and
died as un-christian and heathen is a
public insult to God and His holy peo
ple." And with still more positive
assurance "To give manifest unbelievers
a christian testimony of honor, is giving
yourself the testimony of being a miser
able hypocrite and liar." I hardly ex
pected tho Rev. gentleman would give
in such succinct and terse language so
graphic portraiture f himself as he dis
played at the funeral of Chris. Heintz,
the twin brother of Martin.
And now to give "mine opinion" of
tho whole matter in controversy. Mar
tin, by his harsh, unbridled utterances
at times, had rubbed hard against this
good Mr. Miessler, who held it as a
grudge against this "departed infidel,"
who, let me say, was touched to the
quick, by the searching appeal made at
the house and grave of his twin brother
Chris., and but three days before his
death expressed shame to the writer,
and reproached himself for his paet life,
desiring no longer to livo now that his
brother was dead.
"Jeeus said, be meek and lowly
For 'tis high to he a judsp.
ITwe would be pare and holy.
We most love without RrnuBe."
As I have been quite liberal in my
quotations from the Bev. H. Meissler'6
article, I will enow my appreciation t of
his adroit method of shirking responsi
bility, and let his closing paragraph be
mine also.
"I will make no application of the
above to the case in question, but leave
this to the reader."
