Ho furthermore says that lie would liavi- been perfectly willing to KO to Nebraska City If he bad known that be was wanted Ilieic. In Nebraska City thu hooks of. the alleged defaulter have been undergoing a thorough overhauling. The investigation of KxpcrtVhlto Into the books of the county treasurer bus devel oped u shortaw so fur of S5).000. Tim do- ficlency was found In the accounts of I'x-Truasnrci1 Simpson and bis bondsmen have been nolitiud. It was also discovered that the treasurer s warrant book anil clerk's register Imd been ( k'llhcinluly mutilated. Thuro Is but one icafgono Iroin each. In thu treasurer s the missing record is that of thu sinking fund for a period of dlgliteen months of Simpson s administration. In the clerk's register the record of all warrants from 201 to IMS is gone , commencing in Stevenson's time and run ning into McCartney's. Tncre Is evidence to show that the mutilation of the clerk's books occiu run between April 'J and May 1 , 1HSI1. 1HSI1."All those and minor discoveries , " says the Nebraska City Press , "were made yesterday. There Is another that Is lar mine Important one that will bo news , and bad news , to Ills bonds men. The treasurer's journal mid ledger , Bliowlng the amount of sinking fund war rants reported paid during Simpson's term , were checked with- the stubs in the clerk s warrant book. Tim business of tin : six mouths in January , 1SS ! > , was found practically It not absolutely correct. For the preceding eighteen niontli sit was founii that tim amount of warrants reported paid was largely in ex cess of the amount issued. Crediting the treasurer with tills latter amount and adding to the diifeienco thu amount of the warrants Issued during thitt period and cashed by Treasurer Tau'gart since Simpson wont out. the result shows the startling dclicit of Saj.BO-'J.OA , In addition to this ( lie Press lias It on coocl authority that .Mr. White lias louiiil other slioitagcs , heietofriro unknown , amounting to pcrhuiis , 5,000. Simpson's bondsmen paid , for him , Sl-.OOO to the state , and other known dellcicnccs above the amount straightened by him from private funds and by funds with which his bondsmen , as Mich bad nothing to do , brought I heir direct loss to about SlU.miO.Add to this the $ .V > ppinen- tinned above and the$2Vr > 00 theft from the Kinking fund and the grand total , rod.tte , is $ M > , fiOO-nnil the imd Is not yet. Tbn' bonds men have to show for this various lands , and stocks of coeds nssiirncd to 'them worth , ns they think , nearly the 8111,000 which they tinned covered the deficit. Whether they will get anything moro out of Simpson , or whether ho has anything more , Is a conun drum.

The * document 'wS : ( then placed on record , and bears evidence of that fact In the endorsement on the back by Mr. Tlios. O'Connor , then county clerk and still a resident in tins city. The deed was granted thirty years ago , and what the object in recording it a second time could not this morning be ascertained oy tlio Hitreporter. : .

What AVns Done in the Structure on the Hill. District Attorney Kstello was not ready to take up any of his criminal cases yes terdny and , having an appointment at Florence , this afternoon , he nskecl to be excused till to-moirow. Judge Neville , accordingly took up a small civil case in which a man named Chain hers suns W. J. Council. This case involves a claim for three months' rent of a lot which Council oilers to pay at the. rate of $ 'jr > pur month. The plamhll' , however , claims that , under the terms of a lease from Frit 7. Hiepen , be is entitled to col lect the taxo-i on the same for two years , amounting to s 2.0. I\lr. \ Council admits the claim of rent and has tendered the amount. The ease was continued ycstur- dayJittoniooii.Mr. : Baldwin appearing for Mr. Council. Tlio jury in the case of Stalny vs Ilousel returned n verdict for the plaintiff yes terday afternoon , affixing ( us damages at § 713.50. The case of Taylor vs Houscl , a litiga tion growing out of a real estate traiibau- tion , " was taken up before Judge Wakele.y ' " ' * ' " * yesterday afternoon : A Twilight. Sceno. She stood on the corher of Fif ( couth and Dodge , near a party of young men who were quietly smoking their cigars and enjoying the Sabbath-like peace that prevaduu Ihe locality. Her attitude was one of picturesque beauty , seductive in its outlines and enhanced all the more by a dross of that peculiar sott , clintring ma terial that j-o generally adds to tlio charm of a liandsomo woman. She appeared to bo waiting for some ono , for , with a graceful little movement she would occa sionally look up or down the streets , au.l then once moro relapse into a position whore all but her face was visible to the party. Night came on apace. With Uiu gathering darkness the passers by grow less iremient , and the discordant howl of the disap pointed newsboy gradually grow faint 111 the distance. The light kept fading and with it the uiiceitain identity of the vis ion of feminine loveliness becomes more taiihili/.in to the young inuii , as they crane their necks to observe her more closely. "Such a perfect attitude , " mur murs ono. "What graceful car riage , " says another. "Her face must bo that of a goddess , " ac quiesced tlio last one , tailing in with the spirit of enchanted admira tion. They" noticed that * J.io was becom ing moro and moro impatient , her rest less movements more and more frequent , until at lust , as a little girl came up the street , she turned her face , fairly" shining in the darkness , and cxulalmud with a Southern accent : l'Fo' do Lawd's sake chile , was yer ' gwino tor keep mo waitin'all donight 'for yorV Come along , hcah I'1 The charm was broken , and nothing could bo heard but the subdued pulling of three cigars , or Iho unmusical sound of the busy little mosquito as ho searched for a victim with diabolical Uiligonce. the Council. OMAHA , Juno 4. To the Editor of thu IUi : : : On the Tith ot JIay-18Stl , Isont a a petition to the city council requesting porno repairs to bo made at the corner ol Tenth and lo ras streets. The commu nication was referred to the committee on streets and alloys with power to act. Mr. Manvillu handed the paper to tliu street , commissioner and ordered the work done as required.Mr. . Kaspor , another member .of tho'committeo told mi ) that he required the street commis sioner to do the work ( these are his oy- act words ) afterward 1 "met Mr , Manvdle and ho told mu in the presence of the inspectors specters and several other citi/cus that he would sco the street commissioner again and jret him to do the work. Mr. Lowr.v , councilman from the llrst ward , asKcd Mr , Manville on several occasions to see that the repairs wcro made , but all have failed to have the work douo. On Juno 1st the committea consisting of Manville , Kaspor and Ford , made the following report : "After carefully ex amining the premises wo see no practical way of preventing the overflow of com plainant's lot but to curb and gutter Dor- cas street in front of complainant's lot or for said complainant to till Ids lot which is now about six feet bulow the street , . " No man or set of men who have sense enough to keep them from being inmates ot a lunatic asylum would make such a report. The Street' is uqtbrought to u permanent grade , and 1 doubt that tliero is a grade established qnjhe street as yet. Voi'5' good idea to curb , and gutter a street without an established grade ! Forty yards of tilling will complete the " repairs- . 7 , EU An Important Decision. ( Jen. Crook yesterday cccived from the nrdcpartmcnt an important dcoisibh on a point brought up by Col. Morrow , of the 'IVcnty-lirst infantry , statlbncd at Fort Sidney. A certain sergeant Ih that regiment had been guilty of gross neglect and cruelly in the treatment of his child. The matter became the rnlk of the regiment. The commander of th6 company to which the sergeant belonged did not make any complaint of the man's conduct , and did not oven deign to notice it. The matter was called .to the atten tion of Col. Morrow , and ho de termined to reduce the sergeant to tlio ranks if such a thing were possible ! Accordingly ho wrote to Lieut , uon. Sheridan , inquiring if 'the commander of a regiment could reduce a non-cohimig- sioned olllccr to tlio ranks without the request or consent of the subordinate commander of the company to which. such olllccr belongs. The reply received to-day is to tlio oilect that , a regiment commander cannot take such a step. As a consequence , Col. Morrow Will be unable to suspend the sergeant. linking Powder Tramps. The danger to the public health from the. indiseriiilmate use of the many lime nnd aliimii baking powders of commerce has been so fully exposed that everybody desires to avoid thorn. As "forewarned is forearmed ; " housekeepers will thank us for apprising them of the special efforts at present being made to dispq.se of such powders in this vicinity. J'ho proprietors of some of the worst of these powders are now going from house to house , trying by means ot a trick , , or so-called test , with heat and water , to show that their article is as gooil as the Hoynl Bakimr Powder , making the com- pai'ison with this brand because every body rocogni/.es it to be absolutely pure and wholesome , the object , of course , being to supply their own goods in place of the Uoval , 'whio.li housekeepers have for so many years rolled upon to pull' up the morning biscuit , and to make the light , palatable , and wholesome roll , cake , and pastry , for which it is famous. The housekeeper will do well to bo on her guard against these baking power tramps. Every intelligent person knows that any goods peddled from house to house in this manner , or that are given away in samples , or sought to bo intro duced by secretly traducing the character of other goods well known to be pure and reliable , have no merits of their own , and have failed to find purchasers through legitimate means Wo are informed , ns a matter of fact , that one of these tramus is trying to in troduce u powder that has been found by tlio government chemist to be 11.85 per cent lime , wliilo the other peddles a pow der that is ! ! 0 per cent alum one , a pow erful caustic , the other a corrosive poison. No such tricks or jugglery will bo apt to deceive any intelligent person. The housekeeper who has used her Itoyal Baking Powder over since lie discarded cream of tarter ami soda , knows more about its qualities than all tlio tramps in the country can teacli her. The crucical test to which she has put the Hoynl Halv ing 1'owilor the test of actual and suc cessful work in the preparation of pure and wholesome foot } , under which it has never failed is entirely satisfactory to her. She has always had "good luck" with it in making light , sweet and delicious bread , biscuit and cake , and has placed it , to stay , at the head of her housekeeping favorites. She knows that it has been officially ap proved by the government chemists as the best , and wo imairmu that the baking powder tramp who attempts lo supplant its place in her confidence will Hiiu this u bad year for his business. Want 11 llecelvcr. Herman Blumeiithal , Solomon Blumcn- thol , Henry M. Reis , Solomon L.

In the first 'ngos of the world , labor was deemed most honorable when directed to the tllhtcd of the soil , but the workers In metnls and the workers in precious stud's , were but the next degree nUo ve the bonds , men. During the times of the olden re publics the tine arts rose to high esteem- but rather us the ornaments of their pros perity , than us evidences of their skill and labor. After the dawn of the brighter ujro of modern times the spirit of chivalry and the madness of the cru sades so seized the public mind that nil men of spirit ami genllo birth \voro in fected with the enthusiasm of the times , and seized the lance nnct donned the corslet , anil led forth their vassals to in cessant warfare. This engendered a feeling averse to labor of any kind ; the mechanical arts , except such as related to the calling of arms , were everywhere neglected , and il came lo bo considered a reproach to be cnllod nn artisan. The profession of arms alone was esteemed honorable. In the countries of t lie old world the feeling still prevails. Fettered as they arc by castes and classes , the mechanic is still subjected to the tyrauuj' and scorn of the higher class. lint thu mechanic in this country has already had accorded to him iv higher station than in any other climn , and Dy ing from the tyranny ami oppression of the old world , the arts of industry have here found a renting place where their votaries have been honored and re spected. Their right to an 'equal esteem and respect with other clns.scH has been conceded ; even legislative bodies of gov ernments powerful and strong are not averse to appoint committees to hear nnd adjust grievances claimed by the labor ing element against capital its claimed- to-be foe. And yet , notwithstanding tlio formida ble array between labor and capital , we can hardly fail to discern that through the medium of labor the world has rcntH'd inaiilfold advantages. The world has imwoyed. and improvement is ihe badge of civilization nnd tin uneontnulic- tor.y emblem of human progress. Hut look to the countless millions who have labored and labored , and Ihen gone to everlasting rest , do you sec thu prolit of the laborer ? Do you sec n fair recom pense for his life's struggles and aspira tions ? Surely the morsci of bread can not bo the piny remuneration for labor , nor can refreshing sleep bo the only pay ment for his toil. The birds of thu air and the beasts of the forests labor not , and yqt they cat , and sloop , and enjoy themselves. Where thoii hasmnii the ad vantage ? Well may the royal preacher ask the question , "What prolit has a man of all of his labor which he takcth under the sun ? " Few men can look back to the labor of their lives ami disclose with truthful and thankful pridu : "This great work have I accomplished ; I have achieved a lasting worJc a work tertilc in results , conducive to the good of my fellow-creatures and to the irlory of God. " Men who can make so proud an assertion have , in the ap plause of their conscience , a suflicicnt prolit for lifelong labor ; and who knows ho\v irreat a 'reward is in store for them in the world beyond this ? Uut such men are scarce scarce as the 'planets among the countless stars. , Of these exceptions we shall not speak. We shall couliue our remarks to thu laborer of every day life. , the rank and lile of the human army , the workman , ns we see him in the ifcld , the factory , the shop , the store or the market. "What prolit has a man of all his labor which he takcth under the sun ? " What is the aim and object of labor ? You will say to obtain food , raiment nnd shelter. No. There must be some higher object. Hut you may ask : What higheroojuct can the workman have ? Ho rises at early dawn , cats his frugal menl , proceeds to work , toils hard nil day long , concentrat ing all his energies upon labor , returns home at sunset , fatigued , worn out and weary. He takes another meal , perhaps spends an hour with his family , and his exhausted nature sinks lo rest. Quo day is like another. Labor , food , sleep ; labor , food , sleep , follow in unbroken succes sion. All "the Inbor of man is for his mouth , and .yd the appetite is not filled. " lint can tliis bo nil ? No ; labor has n .spiritual object besides. Labor is thu touchstone of man's conduct. It is the test ot man's honesty and purpose. Tlio work of the hands betrays the working of the heart. Thegood servant , laboring for his dally hire , gives all to his master all that Ins diligent hands can produce , however small the wages. Thu bad ser vant says , when the day is but half over , "J have done my task ; my master pays mu but little enough ; what I have done is much . " So labor too already. _ discov ers thu faithful , and sets its mark on him. The bad servant can never servo God well ; out ho who labors well and honestly for his earthly superior servos his ap prenticeship for the future service of u Divine Master. And moro : Labor is the test of our np- prcointioii of those powers which God has given us. We are not all servants , yet we should nil labor us if the taskmas ters worn at hand. Our time is not our own , our faculties are not our own ; they nro tools lent to us by our ( treat Task master , nnd wu are hold accoimtabh : for thorn. Our faculties are given to us to bo employed in performing our part in the world with energy ami good will. "Whatsoever thv hand lindoth to do , " say tho. proucher , " "do it with all tliy might , " Bo not .satisfied witii mediocrity. Work and try to improve In work ; at all time ) ; endeavor to excel. It is tlio duty of a man to do his level best. And whenever otir faculties , whether exercised through the medium of mind or hand , are fuitlitiilly employed there Uiu blessing of God will bo found. This fact is best provenby thu demonstration that in those counties , whore the greatest amount of labor is requisite to obtain the necessaries of life , wo Iiml thu most vigo rous , healthy and athletic inhabitants , On the other hand , where nntnro has douo most for man in providing for his bodily wants , wo Ilnd him most destitute of the solid comforts of life. In the high lands of Scotland , on the mountains of Circassia , amidst the hills of Norway , the .people arc happier , by far more ro- jiusj , nnd moro cnorgotio. than in o Humi liate Spain , or degraded Italy.

U hen the body becomes weakened by indolence , or by luxury , the mind usually suffers with it.

The same progro.-m'o evolution through which labor derived it.s prcM'.nl deserved respect and appreciation , is illustrated bv the onward strides of education , lu thu ninth century education meant holiness , lie who understood the latin prayers ho murmured , who could rend the bible or philosopher * , 01 , at least , parts of them , who could write a letter or. at least , put his name under one , and who full nil his energy exhausted , all his aspirations fulfilled bv so doing , ho was nu educated man. The greatest states men nnd generals of the ngo hoped one dny , wlu-n their worldly task was done , to cuter this superior circle ; Charlemagne was over sixty when lie began to lenrn writing. In the fourteenth century edu cation meant courage. When a man could man ago the wildest horse , could dance in full armor , could hit the front knob of his enemy's helmet so surely that cither the man was thrown or his Inncc split , and when ho dared in confidence upon these acquire ments to cross the desert where the Arabs roamed about , or to penetrate the forests haunted by the trolds , and elfs , then ho was an educated man nnd though IIH achievements might be very small , such ns those of Richard Cojur-do-Lion , yet his fame was very groat. In tlicoiglitcrnth century up to tlio time of Voltaire , education meant pedantry. He who knew how of ton the loiter "Alpha" occurs in the Pentateuch , what was the dilVer- cnco between an K < ryptiun or Assyrian pair of slippers , the name , birthday nnd mneo of Horace's grandmother's aunt , lie was an object of ndmifation nnd reverence , for lie was an educated man. In this ago , however , thanks to the be nign endowments of civilization , educa tion has a more rational ollicu to t'nllill. Pedantry is no more considered an acqui sition in the real educated , practical man of the world. Manuscripts and scrolls , once the only source of nttainiug knowledge , and which was the exclusive property oj Ihe privileged fowhave given to tiic myriads of well-bound books sent out from the printing press and obtain able by persons of all grade of socicl.v. It is through this medium that lean per ceive the advent of an era , when the strifes and contentions , formidably ar rayed m the two hosts capital and la bor will disappear ; when the laboring clement will , througirthe medium of ed ucation , cast a bright light , u more con tented ga/c upon the unknown , and yet wise decree , which ordained a classifica tion of society. It will be then that those occupying thu position of employer will recognize the rights of employe , and the latter , in time , labor zealously and faith fully in the interest of the former , thereby both will further the course of humanity and civilization. 1 need not add that , labor oven mean , servile labor may be ennobled by its conscientious performance. The prolit of the labor is not the mere food or drink or shelter which form the incentive for work , but the eternal reward , fore shadowed here on earth by our self- approbation , and realized in heaven by thu approbation of our Heavenly Father. Mice the clay ligures of the artist , which may bo placed m any posture and attired in any costume , labor is susceptible alike of any attitude or any guise. Labor may grovel in the dust or crouch to vice , or it may aspire to the highest virtues and lo their heavenly reward. Labor maybe wrapped in the rags of falsehood or clotned in the royal gard of righteous ness and truth. And think not that the fruits of labor are only to be reaped by the grunt ones on earth , by the king , the statesman , thu philanthropist , or tlio sage. The labor of thu lowly , too , has it.s eternal record.
