In tbo police tribunal yesterday after-
nocn , the case of the ttilo of Ncbnskt
s. A. Campbell and bin s-n , Willian
Campbell , was called. The two defend
ute , it may bo remembered , nro clurgoc
rlth being implicated in the robbery ol
< \ J. Shorb , who lost on January 28 i
locket-book containing some $500 ii
money and Boveral hundred dollars in no
; otlablo paper , in or near the postoQice ,
The evidence against the defendant )
was almost purely of a circumstantial na-
, nro. It was proven by the deputy1
horiff of Pottawattomia county , Iowa ,
hat A. Campbell had been in Noola ,
owa , shortly after tbo money was loi' ,
nd that he appeared to be
oiling in wealth , having in hit
lOBSSBBion three § 100 bills and several
iftios. It was furthermore shown that
ip to this time , Campbell had alwayc
> oen very poor , earning a precarious liv-
ug by hard daily labor. On the cthei
land , it was proven by Campbell's em-
iloyor that no had been at work up to
ix o'clock on the very day that the
obbtry was committed. As Sherba
money was taken como time &bant five
o'clock in the afternoon , this clcarlj
irovod an alibi. So far as Campball't
on was concerned , there was clearly nc
onvlcting evidence. Both therefore ,
were released.
No little sensation was created In the
rowdcd court room , upon the ocuronce
f an eplsido which , if fully developed ,
might reveal a rich state of alFiirs. Mrs
3unn , sister-in-law of Campbell , was put
upon tbo stand , and 'at the closa of boi
cstimony , said , In saml-dramatio style ,
That man there ( pointing to Shorb'
amo to mo and offered to give mo $30 il

A raportor bosamo engaged in contoi
aatlon last night , in the Paxton rotunde
with Mr. Androus Onto , of Arizona , wh
is In the city , on roato to Washington
Mr. Oulo , for long yean a resident c
Arizona , has atsociitcd himself moro o
less with the Plato Indiana o ! the She
lade settlement , oa indeed , with other
of the trlho in numerous reiorvatloiu ii
that torritoiy. Ills t lk , drifting natur
ally to the Indians and their customs
dwelt particularly npon ono phase of Pinti
lifo which presents a good many points o
Interest.
"There Ii ono thini"ho ? said , "in whlcl
our natives are oBsontiilly diflfarent , no !
only from the whiles around them ,
but other tribes ol Indians
who are probably further advanced
toirord civilization. I refer to the sub.
joct of court ihlp and marriage. Toll you
something about it ? I might go on foi
hours and expatiate on the subject ol
their peculiar cu&toms of rourtohlp and
matrimony and I hardly know how tc
begin.Tho
The Indians of tbo old Pluto nation ,
( or tribes allied and descendant from the
i'lnto aboriginals ) are very strict and
stern in matters pertaining to courtship.
Their notions on this matter seem to us
to be the wildcat vagaries. For instance
thcra is a stirn mandate Issued by the
father and mother to their daughter ,
alter reaching the ago of fourteen years ,
that not by the ( slightest word or sign
must she betray the preference which she
may feel for any young man. Not only
thto , but the girl Is told that to do DO IB
disgraceful , and worthy of the most severe
punithmont , which Is often meted out to
lur. This eooms , of comae , too rigorous
a proceeding to quell the signs oi
love , but It is nevertheless
practiced without compunction
And onu of the strangest points about It
13 that the maiden hewelf , so far as I
have observed , does not Bcom to chafe
under tbo restraint thua Imprsed upon
her , but seems to acquiesce silently to
the wish of her parents. She appears to
think that the holding back of her most
ardent impulses is the most natural thing
in the world , and , accordingly , aho BUO-
coeds admirably.
"Tho maiden's special grjardtan , after
she rtashes womanhood , is her grand
mother , wno takes her in charge and
keeps her under the strictest surveil
lance. The old woman instructs her Iu
domestic ways , and tells hc-r of the com
ing duties ot wlfeshlp. For with every
Indian woman marriage is an estab <
lishtd certainty. The procuring of a hus
bands , whtlo it is not done In accordance
with the conventional methods of civili
zation , Is deemed to bo absolutely neces
sary. So that the maiden is duly in
structed beforehand of the bin-does and
joys of marritd lifo.
"Tho Indian girl , after spending a few
weeks under the tutelage of her grand
mother , goes to a wigwam known as a
tope , with , two female relatives older than
here elf. Hero she spends a period of one
month , generally not seeing any ono ex
cept her immediate guardians. During
the month the girl performs all sorts of
labors , to give her incraasod strength , aa
is claimed. Her trork consists princi
pally , however , of piling wood. Throe
times a day , at morning , noon and night ,
she stacks five heaps of Jieavy wood , or
fifteen In all.
"At the end of the poiiod of work ,
ehe returns to her tribe , before doing so ,
however , making come valuable present
to the attendants who have watched
over her during the stay in the tepl.
"It is at this period that active court
ship begins with the Piuto youth aud
maiden not In our way. The girl it
never allowed to roam with her lover
abroad in the Colds , woods , or boating
on the river. She is still kept under
strictest surveillance , and free from the
excitement of an orthodox wooing by her
lover. It is but rarely that a word over
paaeos between ber and the young mar
who is striving to gain her admiration.
"One of the etiangest features of ac
Indian youth's ' wooing is the manner it
which ho closes it up for good or evil ,
Ho goes at night to the maiden's tant ,
where she is sleeping with her mother 01
her grandmother. Ho enters silent ] )
nd alts beaido the girl's conch. Tlu
girl's mother is generally awakened , and
die in turn arouses her daughter. The
yourg mm remains for a moment watch'
ing tno maiden for whom ho thus ex
proiSEs hi ) love. Ho then tiptoes enl
doors and retiree , befi re doing so , however -
over , slaying some animal cf email same
which ho hangs outside the habitation o !
tbo maiden.
"Tho next evening ho comes again am
goes through the sume operation ; tbi
next evening aga'n , and no on. If tb <
girl finally makes up bor mind to "havt
him , " the youth's father is Informed b )
litr parents and the wedding is duly an
nounced.
' 'Bat if the dusky d&rniel conclude
that ho cannot marry him , ho Is speed
lly Informed of the fact. How ? Wo'l
the next time that ho enters her dwell
log at night to go through the str ng <
process of silent wooing , ho is speedll ]
ejected , driven out by sticks and clubs ir
'ho hands of the relatives of the maiden
The Indian youth sometimes makes i
f eble attempt to renew his love-making
bat only rarely.
"The marriage ceremony is very sim
ple. A great least is spread to whlcl
tbo rslalives of both parties are invited
L general good time is enjoyed , am
fter the biuquot has boon diapoiod of
ho girl's father arises and pronounce
.ho word which makes the lovers ruti
nd wife , In caie the girl's father i
dead , the ceremony is performed by th
ther of the young man , cr by som
elativo chosen by mutual consent. "
Equal Tights.
To the EJltor of THE BKK.
Dating the present legislative aesslo
two bills have been reported , having f <
heir general purpcsj the cttabliahmet
of equality on behalf of all clasces i
persons with respect to accommodatloi
and privileges in hotels , theaters , c
public lines of travel , etc. The firat or
of tbcsj bills , I leani , was unceromor :
oualy killed , The soooni was retain
10 the committee on federal relation
hlch , I f < ar , entails upon It the Ban
fa to that btfell the firat.
Some years ago the national congre
enacted a Jar of the aama character
the ono proposed in the bills above me
tinned , Time and again it wai groie
violated In varloui parts of the couatt
Cases wore taken before the proper tril
ututi and tried with different roinlt
until finally , the question of the const
tutiormlity cf this law , being brought b
fore the U. S tttpromo court , it WAS il
clared null and void. In discussing tl
matter the court Bald In substnnco th :
the duly devolves upon the states , throng
their respective legislatures , to onu ;
lows for the protection of their cltizot :
In the enjoyment of civil right ] and In
munltics. This , In brief , Is according t
my recollection and understanding of th
history of the matter.
It scorns unnecessary to say hero thn
that eontlmont of prejudice towards th
colored people , which ii ono of the loglt
Imato issues of their former depravoi
condition , is still to prevalent as to render
dor them liable to the most unjust trnt
mont at the hands of those who may fee
diapoicd to ill use thorn. Assuming tlu'i
fact to bo incontrovertible , there socrni
to bo no room for debate upon the qnos
tlon as to the actual need of the enact
mcnt of a law to govern such cases ai
thoao referred to in the bills just spokoi
of. Several of the states have alroadj
acted through their legislatures ir
accordance with the supreme court do
cliion , since the civil rights law was de
clared unconstitutional , and it seems un
fortunate that the time of the present
state legislature is so engrossed with the
discussion of corporation interests thai II
cannot devote a small fraction of it to n
matter of such importanca as that of enacting -
acting a statute for the equal protection
of all classjs of the inhabitants of the
statp in the fall eiijojttiont of the rights ,
privileges and accommodations , In respect
to which only a certain element is al
present discriminated against.

To pet out of the hole Bcmo lines find
themselves in on inauguration travel and
at the same time preserve a bare sem
blance of good faith wilh the pnblio , is a
conundrum not the easiest in the world
to o'.vo. That the Baltimore & Ohio
wes the first to announce in the press of
the land the low latjs to Washington , ia
not io bo gainsaid anymore thaii is the
fitt that the B. & O. i3 the only one of
the I runic lines throwing open its entire
system to the advantages of the reduction
of faro. Roads that make a big talk and
claim the earth too small for tholr potsos-
slonsaro whipping the devil a lively race
around the stamp , and nuking a blow
about everything except that
which people want meet to know. This
peculiarity of the situation has led to
many Inquiries , but aa yet no explana
tion has been vouchsafed as to why the
public Is made fish or fowl of as suits the
fancy of tbo would-bo autocrats of the
railroad world. HODCO the hole and the
wriggling to got out of it. Mesntimotbo
B & O. goes on telling the truth , pre
senting the real status of tno situation
and proving that on Its entire system ouo
man's money is good as another , and all
Its matchless aeries of fast trains , includ
ing the fwnous "limited , " open to all
pasBODgars holding inauguration tickets.
Amid all the bluster of other lines , there
la not a word of denial of the fact that
the B. & 0 limited trains are the only
limited trains on any Ihlo'upon which the
low rate tickets will bo accepted or , in
other word * , the only llrfe1 mv > n which in
auguration tickets will K 'rod except
upon slow trains. Neui' ! - has there
boon the show of an attsr.tor at contra
dicting the fact that the B. & 0.
Is the only line having its
own exclusive depot in Wash
ington and the only line having
different tracks for its Western business ,
and that from the East and North. Fur
ther , the B. & O. is tha only line direct
into Washington , as proyf n by its not
having to announce a special schedule for
its Washington trains as other lines are
compelled to do. The B , & O. trains run
solla into Washington every day of the
year , and such additional eectlons of reg
ular tnins will bo run for the Inaugura
tion as may bo demanded. Thus no dis
arrangement of everyday arrangement ia
necessitated. All cmplopooa along tbo
line have no spooul iastrcctiona to ttudy ,
but simply attend to business 3 they are
accuattmed to the year round. To one
giving tbo real eituution a thought , it on-
uot bat bo patent that when it comes t-

in existence can compare with the B. it

dorkranz hall. The spacious room wa
beautifully festooned and most laitil ;
decorated with tcoros of "s'ars an !
ttrlpos , " and the supper table , g istonlui
in the lamp-light , fairly bondoc
beneath tbo burden of choice food and
drink. This was woman's handiwork , tc
which the throng in attendance did fal
justice. Lyon Post No. 11 "spread" it
self on this occasion , and the scarred ant
woather-bcatm veterans of the trylnj
days of yore tklppod lightly through the
misty nuzts to the music ot their baud ,
aud believed themselves young again ir
the light that smiled in woman's eye * .
It was the event of the season. Miss E ,

was the belle of tbo ball , and Johnnj

Postmaster ( our Charlie ) Howell it
busy like a boo , though little is the honey
bo gathers. Charlie says the mail in
creases steadily hero , not only our own ,
but that for points north and south.
April 1st is the beginning of a quartet
when the postmaster and his most excel
lent tsilslant , Ed. Hackonbotger , will
have a clean sheet , a c'can office and a
dear record for inspection. This show
ing will entitle Grand Island to bo made
a second class poatoffica and if the new
President has no friend to reward here ,
bo might gracefully let well enough

A movement is on foot to secure a sys
tem of

The tax-payers are signing a patitlon tc
the ci'y council to take some step to so-
: nro a safe and sufficient supply of water.
This project commends itielf to all , be-
jause as wo are now situated there Is
practically little means to prevent a fire ,
ind far fewer to suppress one of
:3nsldtrabla extentAs soon at
practical ttepsaro taken you will learn ol
it. In tbii connection It might be well
to add that our firemen in joint meeting
tiave declared that fire grenades whicb
have been foisted npon the cities of Cen
tral Nebraska pretty generally are per
fect humbugs. They made practical
tests , and unanimously so decided.
There is considerable interest mani
fested by our own and the people of the
northern section in
RAILIIOAU MOVEMENTS.
Rumor , always busy , ( ays the B. & M.
will eoon stilt westward. Tbo U. P. it
thought to bo ready to move on from
Nortn Loup to Ord , in Valley county ,
and every roan along the sevt ral Louf
rivers is in high hope and wears a broad
smile of anticipated wealth and power.
Let the reads go on. Although the Ne
braska legislature has failed to dc
anything for the people , 01
to curtail the qrasplnf
propensities of corporations. Still the
railroads are nccEH : iry means for a land
department , and time at length will SB !
things even. The roads , like the citl
zens , have lights that the individual ant
society niu t respect , and vice versa.
One of the great advantages our cltj
lays claim to is her fine system of schooh
and places of learning. While it is true
that , like all other pritna'y schooh , thesi
only bioik earth for the seed to bo hereafter
after sown , yet it is forth or true that thi
means here employed are commenanrati
with the end in view and amply suflicien
for the present. When tbo people generally
orally learn that a smattering is not ar
education then courses of thorough In
strnotion will bo demanded and provided
As it now is tbo corps of teachers is fill ]

Of this wonderfully productive country
thcro is at present only a small portion
occupied and the great rush for land la
na'urally going In this diroolion.
On the train I met Mr. ,1. 11. Buchan
an , the genial general passenger agent ol
the above mentioned road. Bo is cna of
the finest old gentleman of the period
aud a porsltUnt worker ii advcrtitiog
his "Frco Homos for the Millions. " In
short ho has done moio to people the
heretofore consldcrad "waste" lands of
Northern Nebraska than any ono man

in so short a time.
Mr. 0. P. Treat , also was aboard ,
bound for Valentino where ho has a con
tract for grading some 141 miles of the
S. 0. & P. , west from Vulotino to a point
on the \Vhito river called "Chadronr"
Ho says that for the first 75 miles the
soil if generally tandy , and the balance
of it was abundantly fertile , comparative
ly level but not a smooth country , and
fully ono half of the land is ah cad y
taken.
Gordon Is a now town ninety miles
west of Valentino , and premises to be
an Important trading point. There ar.
already on the ground several stores ,
postoilico , etc.
THE OUJECIIVE POINT
of the now line will uventually bo the
Black Hills and the Pacific coast , but for
the present the Whlto river will bo the
terminous. From this point to Rapid
Olty , Dakota , it Is ninety-two milot. In
that vicinity there is slid to bo extensive
coal fit Ids laying wldo open ready to bo
worked as scon as there is
a way provided to transport
the coal which is identical to the famous
"Rock Spring" coal of Wyoming. This
event will bo a great blecslog to the people
ple in Northern Nebraska where fuel is
the greatest item of expense.
Superintendent O'Brien , from the state
fishery of South Bond , accompanied by
Commissioner May and Editor Smalls , of
Fremont , wore also weat bound. The
piacatorlllsls wore taking thousands of
high bred and ] full blooded trent to the
headwaters of tbo various streams of
Northern Nebraska for gratuitous distri
bution. They are reiy sanguine of suc
cess , and icport the proceedings of the
department to bo in a very satisfactory
condition. Mr. May showed mo a novel
curiosity In the form of a relic that ho
pri/.es very highly. It is ouo of the
oiiglnal stars from the fhg that wis
taken by tbo Grcely party with the in
tention of hiirllni : it alloat on the north
pole. Sargcant Braina d gave it to him ,
and says it was planted in latitude 83 °
24' , and longitude 40 ° 45' , being by tar
* ! IH farthest north of any former explor
ing party.
Another noteworthy passenger was a
gentleman who lives some 15 miles north
of O'Neill , who , In driving homo hst
month , frczo his bauds and was compelled
to have tbom both amputated. He was
cot out only two hours , but it was 38 °
below zero.
THE RECENT DIVISION OF IIUOWN COUNTY
hss created a now county called "Keya-
Paha. " It comprlicB all that vast tract
ftrrnrrly belonging to Brown county ,
tl at lays north of the Niabrara river. An
o'octlon of officers and county seat tito
was recently held but for some reason the
result was declared illegal.
Al ng the line of the railroad are seen
almost any quaptlty of heyttacks , many
tons of which is being shipped westward.
At Ainswtrth it told at one time as low
as 05 cents per ton in the field , but the
price usually ranges from § 2.50 to $5.00
per ten.
The stock men repoit a very BOVOIP

provided themselves with food and shelter
