E. liOSEWATES. PubHshef "NOTWITHSTANDING the dull times and commercial stagnation the Internal Revenue receipts of the present year will exceed the esti mates of the Internal Ke venue Com missioner by several hundred thous and dollar ? . CONSIDERABLE uneasiness is be ing manifested by the managers of the principal eastern railroad lines over the latest move of the brother hood of locomotive engineers. A general strike of the membersrof the fraternity It momentarily anticipa ted. THE Chicago limes proposes to settle the transfer muddle by run * , aing trains through between Chica go and San FrancUco without change of cars. Bt fore this scheme is put in operation we would advise our Chicago contemporary to devise a plan by which trains will always come through on schedule time. THE secret of municipal prosperi ty is practically illustrated by the manufacturing statistics of Louis ville. There are now in successful operation in Louisville more than 500 manufacturing establishments , representing an investment of $20- 000,000 , producing : wares annually estimated at $50,000QGQ , employing constantly 10,000 persons , aujl pay ing out annually for labor about § 8,000,000. And nearly all these manufacturing enterpriseahave been established within the past fifteen years. QBE AT efforts are jusf now being made in Michigan , by the 7oman suffragists to secure the adoption of the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution of that State at the impending election. Miss Phoebe Couzins , the lawyer , writing from the lumber region , says : "I am speaking every day , and sometimes twice a day , to more than crowded houses. Susan B. is creat ing great enthusiasm. They crowd ed around the station at one point , the other day , by the hundreds , and she bad to go out ou the platform and speak , while the train waited for her. I am sure the State might have been carried if it had been can vassed sooner. The people are wak ing up to great enthusiasm. " It might ha vo been means it can't be. We publish , and we are very glad to publish , the very frank and ex plicit response of the Executive Committee of U o Nebraska Aid Society to the BEE'S recent article , "Speculative Belief. " There was not the slightest warrant for such an attack upon the society , and that paper will doubiless join this in do ing Justice to the nature of the plan of giving aid , as well as to the en tirely reliable gentlemen who , a ? members of the Executive Commit tee , whom we all know to be utterly incapable of wrong in the gratui tous sen-ice they ure.reuderiug for the good of the distressed people on our borders. Herald. "We also publish , and are very -glad to reproduce the "very frank and explicit response of the Execu- tlve.Committee of the Nebraska Aid Society. We do so , "not only In jua- ticu to these reliable gentlemen , but in justification of our own courts In the premises. The BEE'S recent ar ticle on "Speculative relieP' can , under no circumstances , be constru ed into an attack upon the society , or upon any individual member thereof. Itvas simply a pertinent inquiry into the peculiar method of "loans , " which the exphcitresponse * - of the Executive Comojitteo seeks to explain and justify. * The transactions of any organi zation that handles and disburses the. people * * money are eminently .proper sutjects for journalistic in F * quiry and criticism. The Nebraska r Aid Society can claim no exemp tion in this.respect Without de&i- ring to impugn "the .motives of-its members the BEE has , inbehalf of the public , demanded an explana tion ot the "loan" system. TJsat explanation Is now before os , and -we invite our readers to its careful perusal. WtTare informed thereby that "TheNebraska Aid Society was or ganized with a capital stock of half a million dollars , and shares of one dollar each. " Now we presume the principal object of organizing a stock company was to give the'con cern a legal existence. This object ooald h&vo beeu attained just as well by one hundred shares at one dollar e&eii. . Why organize a huge corporation with hall a million stock in a company tbathas , no dividends to detiare ncr assessments to.make ? If we understand It correctly neither the'donors to the relief-Tuna . 9f t&e recIpitmU of its laxity art stockholders. Are we then to as sume that'the stock is merely a sham 1 A'gairrwe1 are assured by the committee that the object of tak ing notes of the parties who accept aid is to make independent borrow ers and not paupers of them. Why was not this scheme of loaning money and provisions dis tinctly announced as theprogramme of the organization ? Parties who .make donations could govern them selves accordingly and direct just what Is to be done with the ulti mate returns from these loans. For instance , Qerritt Smith donates $1,000 toward [ the Nebraska suffer ers. If Gerritt Smith was aware of the fact that this money is coming back into the relief fund five years hence , he could direct what is to be done with his money. If ihe money is not given away outright it is his money , and not the" money of the stock corporation , that has been entrusted with making the loan. If Mr. Bedick donates 100 sacks of flour , worth $250 , and the notes for that flour are paid within five years , Mr. Bedick might prefer to do his own chanty business at that time instead of allowing the half million dollar corporation to hold it for another grass-hopper in vasion. We SAO referred to the shining example of the Ghfpago relief asso ciation , which is said to have sev eral hundred thousand dollars in its treasuryfor the relief frpm contingent disasters. If the Chicago papers can be relied on the money hoarding proprietors of lh $ Chicago relief pomrnittee have not inspired much adoairatfon in their acts at home whatever may bg thought of .it abroad. Jf ; however , the Nebraska Aid Society1 are determined to carry out e we would their loaning progra suggest to them the propriety making weekly publications of all their transactions. Let the'people who give , as well as those who re ceive , know just what isbeingdone. Let them know weekly ana month ly how much is received and dis bursed in money , and how much in clothing , provisions , &c. If any purchases are made by the committee let us know where and at what prices the goods are purchased. The UEE will cheerfully publish these statements free of charge. Bight here we will repeat that we have implicit confidence hi the ex ecutive committee. We have every desire to encourage the society in its noble task , but we claim , and we propose to exercise , the perogative of a fearless journalist , who , above all things , desires to prevent abuses in every department charged with responsible public trusts. IT la understood that Secretary Robeson , in view of the labors of the 2Jew Jersey campaign and the preporationfqr the election of Uni ted States Senator in that Statewill not be able to return to Washington - ton for a permanent stay before De cember. Washington Chronicle , if .New Jersey should happen to go Democrattc/we shall atleast have , | Jje supreme satisfaction of knowing - > ing who is t ? blame for the defeat. It seems to jjs Secretary Robeson eoujd have done the BepuWjcan party no greater service than by re maining at his post gf $ ijty at the Navy Department It is an indisputable fact that the indifference and demoralization within the Republican ranks is in a great measure the direct result of the campaigning propensities of in discreet cabinet officers and their subordinates In the federal service , if these patriotic gentlemen would faithfully attend to their official du ties , there would be no Democratic victories , The Belief Question. OMAHA , October 2s 1874. To Editor of Omaha Herald : An article headed "Speculation Belief" in the Omaha BEI : if Octo ber 26th , calls for the following statement of facts : The Nebraska Belief and Aid So ciety was organized as a stock " com pany with a capital stock of § 500- 000 , and shares of $1 each , the in debtedness neyer to exceed $1,000. The object in organizing tilp society now , was , as all know , to extend present relief and aid to those of our citizens in need oaring to the failure " of their crops in consequuncu * of "the ' drouth and grasshopper * . It'seem- ed to the persons who took most In terest in the matter that it u ould be only .wise , and prudent , and businesslike " ness-like , to look to the futute "as well as to the present , and pro vide a.fund to be used in an emer gency like the present fine , or any other rb i might arise. A large ma jority of these who expressed a wish upon the subject u * fsaid tnaf they preferred to-be considercaa * borrow ers , and not as beggars , j.'iie ob ject , then , in taking notes fi'&a par ties to whom supplies ara f ru > jiecl was two fold : First , to make o\ir poor but independent citizens bor rowers and not paupers but bor rowers upon terms so easto them selves that they can nevK * feel any burden , for the notes an.nade pay able at such times aaVMl suit their convenience to pay ; an * ! , secondly , to create a fund which c : i be used in future to aid any cltL n in Ne braska who is in want The Chicago aid societv is enabled to do a great deal af gooti by having In its treasury funds when funds ore needed , and we trust ti it the Ne braska aid society will bj able to do the eame enviable eeivJoe in the future.

Nemaha- ( Correspondence of tfee.Brr. ) TECUMBETT , NEB..I Octobef'26 1874. j After leaving Beatrice we made our first stoppage atthe house of Mr. Stephen Bull , a one-armed vet eran , with whom we discussed the old times when we wo e the blue. Stephen won his empty sleeve at Petersburg , Va. , in the\desperale fight that immediately preceded Lee's surrender. After a good night's rest and a hearty breakfast , we took the road for Sterling , leav- ine Stephen and his brother Wal- them laughlugheartily over finding out that sometimes a fancy drink- lug flask is used for holding tobacco instead of whisky. \ We had a longcheerless ride over a prairie where tliere are but few houses , or ratherdug-outs , and they are scattered along the road four or five miles apart ! At last we reached the Valley o'f the Nemaha , ana the thrifty littlektown of Sterling. The country within a radius of five or six miles is well cultivated and thickly settled , but beyond that the rich wild prairie land invites the pi oneer. The town of Sterling is growing rapidly , and at least a dozen houses are now beinp erected. There are two elevators here and a flouring mill ; and the different branches of business are represented as follows : 3Ir. * " J. C. Mohnnan keeps the postoffice and a general store. He has just got on his stockofwinter suppliesi and every available Tspot ia well pack with seasonable goods. Mr. W. Johnson has a hardware and agricultural implement store , and also a tin shop. His stock is large and well assorted ; . A.SbipmanM.Df , practices med- ichie and keeps a drug store. The doctor is clever gentleman and . . sane * oldest - Mr. Charles P. Tripp i est store in town. He came here four years ago , and at that time there was only a few dug-outs here , and the nearest frame house was four miles away. .Now he has the neatest place in town , and It doing a thriving business In general mer chandise. Wm. M. Borland is following the blacksmitbing business and has a good run of custom. He has just finished a new house , which looks as if he had come to stay. Mr. T. Q. Mathews is one of the city fathers , and is a leading man in this part of the country. He is a notary public , justice of the peace , has a land agency , and makes boots and shoes in the bargain. Mr. M. H. Cogswell is a cattle dealer , and at his butcher shop he slices up meat for the town. Mrs. Hermena .Lender keeps a boarding house , wehre everything is in apple pie order. Dinner was cooking when we came in , and by the savory odors that floated out of that kitchen we would guess that she keeps something good to eat Mr. V. Ziuk is in the grocery bus iness , and keeps a large assortment of first-class goods , and has a large list of customers. Fair dealing and small profits is his motto. A. C. Beed & Son have probably the most extensive trade of any store in town. They deal in al | kinds of merchandise , and have a large stock of goods , to which they are con stantly making additions , Brand & Wilson came here from Chicago , where they were burned out by the great fire. They have thelargest blacksmithlng andwag- oa j&op in town , but in order to ac- co'mmodiUe theft constantly In creasing business , they arc afjout to ' enlarge their quarters. They' have built several fine wagons here , and a few days 'ago they finished up a two hundred dollar buggy , that was said to be a marvel of beauty. "The Hotel , " ( Mr. A. B. Alford , proprietor , ) is located in the very centre of town , and is neat , cozy , and quiet. Mr. Alford has been keeping hotel a good many years , , and knows his business. He in tends to erect * an addition to his house , so as to have more room to accommodate his numerous custom ers. ers.Mr. . Fred Bartling has a shoe store , where he keeps everything in that line , from a baby's slipper tea a JNo. 12 cowhide boot Custom work is Mr. Bartling's specialty. Our sterling landlord , Mr. A. Mc- Glnley , keeps hotel.ln a large two- story building , near the railroad de- "pot He ha ? just came in from a farm , and being a new hand at the business few words from an old traveler may not be amiss. We 'would say , that when a man has moss pillows on his bed , and strong butter and tough fried beef to eat , and hla horse kept it } a stable that had not been cleaned out for a week , and no curry comb about the place , is charged $2.50 per day for the above named luxuries then I say that man has the right , as a free American citizen , to refuse to give that landlord a half column puff in his paper , although he does subscribe for the DAILY BEE. , On our way to Tecumseh from Sterling we traveled down the Ne- mabs valley , and found everywhere fine-farms and good houses. There is no corn here. The wheat crop was a fair average , but the price , fifty-three cents per bushel , Is not 'very profitable to the farmer , and when you consider thathe must feed his horses.and other stock with it , instead of corn , and retain enough for seed , it will readily be compre hended that there won't be much whet sold this year at any price. In short there is no denying" 'the fact that this has , been a disastrous season , and that the Nebraska farm ers are much'poorer now than they were one year ago. Tecumseh Is a good thriving town , and we should like to have written you a descrip tion of it , but "Addhas been here before us and took the honey rrom the flower. We dropped into .the newspaper offices just as naturally as a duck tumbles into a pond. The editors are aU gentlemen , and are an honor to-tha journalistic fraternity of Ne braska , The CfttQtaln hoists to the top of its columns an ancient but vigorous bird , supposed. to be the Bepublican rooster , who'gives three crows and a screenh for the ten thousand ma- jorlty. The Herald is Independent and although its banner was trailed in the dust after the Pony Brigade had charged its columns , yet It still lives , and expects in some future contest to redeem the laurels it has lost It'is a spicy paper and we ad mire its pluck. " While in Teoumseh we made bur headquarters at Mrs. Gosba's boarding - ing > hoi)8A f we iwere told by" one that knew that there we would be at home , and we found it so. While there we had the juclert beefsteaks , nicest roaat turkey-snd everything kept so ni e and stylish that we felt like forswearing hotels , and taking permanently to boarding houses. The Beatrice Kills and Elevator. Correspondence of the BEK. * BEATRICE , Oct. 23 , ' 74. EDITOR BEE : There are bat few of the thous ands who use the now famous "Gilt Edge" and "Cream of theTalley" flour who know anything about it , excepting the fact that it makes most delicious pastry , and all that sort of thing. So we propose to tell you something about how it is made , who makes it , and where the milts are. are.There are three mills engaged in. the manufacture of this flour , and Mr. H. L. Wetherald Is the head and front of fie vast milling business - . ness which Is carried on in Beatrice , and Hebron , Neb. , and Conuers- viile , Iiid. Wetherald & Sons is the name of the Beatrice firm , and here they have one of. the best mills in the State , in which they have four run of burrhs , which are kept going day and night They are constantly shipping flour by the carload to Omaha , Lincoln , Fremont , Grand Island , and all the principal towns in Nebraska. Besides the flouring mill they have a sawmill and lath machine , which turns out a large quantity of lumber. They have also a large elevator , with a capacity for handling five thousand bushels of grain per day , and a holding capacity of thirty thousand bushels. All this is 'run by one Immense water wheel , and they will soon increase the size of their mill and put in several addi tion il run of stone , so as to meet the constantly increasing demand for their flour. This water power is probably the best In the State , and is sufficient to run half a dozen mills. At JJebron , Nebraska , on the St. Joseph and Denver railroad , under .the Arm name of Wetherald , Wood ; fc Co. , they have the premium mills , which are built of stone , and cost $20.00Q. This mill Is three stories high.r-The "flopm wing waljantj dam are Nall built of stone , and has capcjty'/or converting Into flour sx hundred bushels of wheat per day. The hydraulic mills of Conners- ville. Indiana , ( firm name of H. L. W theraia & eons , ) are under the same management. All of these mills are furnished with the-iatest improved machine ry , belt-gearing , marine packers , and are in the hands of the most.ex perienced mUle1"8 in the country. ' In this connection , we wish to § s'pe- ciaily call the attention * of Qmaha merchants to the superior faculties for the manufacture of flour enjoyed by this firm , and to the brilliant reputation already achieved for their favorite brands. BANGER. PERSONALITIES. Ex-President Thiers and ex-presi dent Johnson keep on talking. Senator Cameron returned to Harrisburg after an extended trip to the Pacific States. Mme. NUlson-Bouzeaud is said to be attaining added plumptuosity , whatever that means. Ex-United States Senator Cald- wefl is now an honest farmpr , and lately shipped one hundred head of three-year-old eteera that weighed 1,100. Toombs' uproarriousness is ac counted for on the ground that he is a intserable old widower , and the Memphis Avalanche wants Tilton's ' mother-in-law to marry him. John G. Whittle ? , the poet , is des cribed as having a dark and pierc ing eye , the glance of which is mild and kindly. His whole counten ance beams with benignity. George D wson Is described as a medium-sized , 'stou'tly-'built gpu'tle man , with grayish hair and whis kers , a manner almost altogether conversational , and a sympathetic voice. General Banks lectured a few evenings since in Boston , upon "What a man owes to the town he lives | n. " Thp General roust have been collecting statistics regarding Boss Tweed. Another clergyman has got into hot water. Bey. Mr. Frank Kel'e- her , who , while examining a Mon tana geyser , broke through the rag ged edge of the crust , and was scalded so that he even wished he were dead. "John Brown's body" is laid un der a huge granite boulder in North Elba , Essex county , New York. The farm consists of eighty acres of land , and produces little but pota toes and beans. Tne family have dispersed ; but the house is used as an inn , with a sign JOHN BROWN'S HOUSE. Befreshments. Trout and chickens 50 cents' Lodging if Desired. Alexander Dumas was writing a serial novel for a Paris doily jour- nat , and one day the Marquis de P called on him. "Dumas , " said he , "have you composed the end of the story now being pub lished In the ? " 'Of course. " "Does the heroine die at the end ? " "Of course dies of consumption. After such symptoms as I have de scribed , how could she live ? " -'You must make her liye. You must change the catastrophe. " "I can not" "Yes , you must ; for on your heroine's life depends my daugh ter's. " "Your daughter's ? " "Yes ; she has all the various symptoms of consumption which you have de scribed , and watches mournfully for every number of your novel , read ing her own fate in that of your heroine. .Now , If you make your heroine live , my daughter , whose imagination has been very deeply impressed , will live too. Come I a human life is a temptation " "Nottdbe'resisted. " Dumas chang ed his last chapter. His heroine re covered , and was happy. About five years afterward Dumas met the Marquis at a party. "Ah , Dumas ! " he exclaimed , "letmeintrod.uceyou to my daughter ; she owes her life to you. Theresheis. " "That fine , handsome woman , who looks like Joan d'Arc ? ' ' "Yes. She Is mar ried , and has four children. " "And , my novel has .just four editions , " said Dumas , "sowe are quits. " Freezing will not Kill Cored Corn I wish in this to correct an erroneous - , eous Idea going the rounds of the press. It is popularly supposed that a temperature of four degrees below zero will kill the germ of corn. This Is not so. My corn was exposed to twenty-two degrees below zero last whiter , and every kernel grew. The trouble generally comes.in autumn. The farmer delays huslqng his corn -till cold rains come on , ending with snow storm and freeze. The corn not thoroughly cured ; in the shock' is first saturated by the rain and thenfrozen and the cerra is killed. Corn busked and thoroughly cured before cold weather cnrnes on may be carried to the North Pole and brought back and T will warrant it to grow , I ? .
