Minnie will OF course take the prize being the first
The Rebecca gained several miles, probably eight
or ten, by going through Plum Gut The rules of
the race were very plainly printed and each boat,
OF course, furnished with copies The reasons
which induced the Rebecca to make so serious n
deviation are not known Several solutions are of
tered by those who speculate upon the subject IT
is surmsed that seeing indications of a stouter
breeze to the south, she availed herself of it, that
the rules, though explicit, were not carefully OBJ
served; and finally, that concluding she must be
beaten she preferred to be beaten under protest for
violating the rules to being outsaed on fair
trial
We find in the Herald Of Sunday the following
account of the race:

WoRsE AND WoRsE.-" Observe"
having been beaten ct his own game, has
worked himself into terrible stew, and
puts forth another mess Of balderdash, in
the last number Of the News. over his real
name. He addresses his remarks to the
public, and unblushingly informs it that
the scandalous, obscene stuff which has
appeared in the columns of the News,
within short time past, was the pro-
duction of an individual who rejOiees 10
the euphoneous cognomen of George
Hammer. He makes the horrible threat.
that ii we don't let him BLACKBOARD us as
much as he pleases to. without replying
to him. he will serve US as the Kentucky
shareholders serve their niggers. If he
means the way they serve the wenches,
we beg most implOriagly to be spared
that in1ietion from him!
We must destroy one pretty romance
which he has put forth, and thereupon
conjured up visions of grated bars, loath-
some prisons, and all that sort of thing.
about which he talks as if he were famil-
lar with them. We regret to make this
announcement, not so much because it
will be a disappointment to him, as be-
cause it viii spoil the calculations OF
those reliable persons" who gave him
the cue, and imagined that they were 60
ing to show US where they had us. In
relation to that presumption business, we
will inform our very solicitous friends
that we do not own a piece of land in
creation, never have owned a piece Of
land. and never pre-empted a piece Of
land in our life. So much for Mr. George
Hammer and his "reliable" informants
so much for the random assertions Of
a dirty liar, when he repeats the scandal
of those of his species. If they can find
said piece of land, we would be very
happy to see it, as we were not aware
that we were so fortunate as to possess a
quarter section.
In conclusion. we will say that our
nerves have almost recovered from the
shock produced by Mr.. George Hammers
threats. We have heard people talk,
before; and we are frequently reminded
of the saying. that "a barking dog sell
dom bites" We have known them to
attempt to bite, and to get their eye-teeth
cut In the operation. Mr.. George Ham
mer will please take this into considera.
ton. 1t will require Hammer Of more
force than he possesses, to compel us to
remain quiet. and permit every low-Aung
blas'Iguard in the country to besmear us.
Mr.. George Hammer may consider this
rather personal. but we hope Mr.. George
Hammer understands us.

MAIL RoUTEs.-We learn that the De-
partment has granted mail routes from
White Cloud to Oregon. Mo-, Fl. Des
Moines, Iowa, and to Sabetha, Seneca,
and Richmond, in Nemaha County
This is good news. The credit Of the
Des Moines Route is due to William j.
Calling, Esq, whose efforts secured the
passage of a memorial through the Iowa
Legislature. James Foster, Esq, of Or
egon, Mo-, spent the Winter in Wash
ington, and presented the matter to men,
bers of Congress. The credit of getting
the routes established, is principally due
to Hon. James Craig, of Missouri
However Objectionable Mr.. Craig's polit-
ical proclivities may be, the people Of
this portion of the West certainly owe
much to him for his efforts in their
behalf, particularly in the way Of mail
facilities. He has unquestionably been a
faithful Representative, so far as the local
interests of his constituents are concerned.

The Hon. John J. Crittenden.

Entered the Senate of the United States
in 1917 forty one years since. In that
long period, he has been one Of the most
conspicuous, consistent and able of Amer
lean Statesmen. Presidents have gone
in and out Of Office since, with not half
his renown. nor fourth of his ability.
Less brilliant than many, his practical
ssgscity is almost unequaled. In his long
public career. we scarcely recognize a
single mistake. Belonging to the con-
sentative party, and coming from a cen
trail State, he has gone to no extremes.
He has been twice in Cabinet but has
never been charged with the lust Of office.
All manner Of corruption has been seen
in high places but, the breath Of Islander
has never whispered it of him. The people
Of his own State have valued these high
qualities. From 1917 to 1919 I; from
1885 to 1S41 from 1912 to 1849 and
from 1858 to the present time. he has
been in the U. S. Senate. In 1910 he
became a member of Gen. Harrisou's
Cabinet, and in 1850, of Mr.. Fillmore's.
His present term of service in the Senate
will expire in 1851. forty four years from
the time he entered that body, and twenty
one years, in all, Of Senatorial service.
Surprising him to have been only of
Constitutional age, when he entered that
Senate, he must now be seventy one years
Of age-yet hale in strength, and honor
able among the conscript fathers of the
country Gin. Gaz.

E% On Saturday, about noon, part
of the timbers which the carpenters were
putting in the second story of the brick
Hotel, gave way, and came down with a
crash, bringing part of the timbers of
the third story, which rested upon them.
and tearing out a small portion of the
wall. The brick work was nearly COM
pleted, and the accident caused about a
days additional work. Most of the
workmen had left the building only a
short time before the crash occurred.
One carpenter was upon the joists of the
second story. and had to do some nimble
hopping and lodging, to get out Of
harms way. Two young masons, named
Campbell, were on the scaffold, at the
top of the building, at the time. One
of them went into the second story with
the scafold, but received no injury. The
other one chung to the wall, in rather q
precarious situation, until the crash was
over, when he "cooned it" around to q
place where he could get down. Those
who witnessed the affair, thought, for a
while, that the "Campbells were COM
ing," for certain! 4

ISDIAS SHor.-An Indian was shot,
several miles from this place. on Monday
afternoon, by an Irishman. There are
conflicting statements in regard to the
affair. One is to the effect that they met
and drank together, when, getting into
a dispute about the bottle, the Irishman
drew pistol and shot the Indian. An
other story is, that the Irishman went to
the Indians wigwam, and asked to be
shown the way to White Cloud. The
Indian went with him a short distance,
gave him TIE proper direction. and turn
ed to go back. The Irishman wanted
him to accompany him farther. which
the Indian refused to do. when the Irish
man shot him. The ball entered near
the heart, and came ont back Of the
shoulder. At last accounts, the Indian
was still alive, but his case was consid-
cred hopeless. There is no doubt that
whiskey entered largely into the affair.
The Irishman came to this place post
haste. and was very clamorous to cross
the river Immediately, as otherwise, he
said, he would not be able to reach the
place of his destination that evening. A
short time after he had crossed, To-he
and John Maize came in hot chase after
him, to mete out summary punishment.
They now offer any person a reward Of
one hundred dollars, who will deliver the
Irishman into the hands of the Indians,
who are anxious to make an example of
him. He is described as being a heavy
set fellow, and carried black oil cloth
sack.
Major Vanderslice. the Indian Agent,
was in town on Tuesday, making inqui-
ries about the fellow, but more particu-
larry trying to find out where the Indians
are in the habit of getting liquor. This
latter is a good move. 1t is to be hoped
he will discover the offenders, and put
them through to the ninety mines.

On Friday last, we seized upon little
spare time, to pay flying visit to Hia-
watha, the new County Seat of Brown
County, some sixteen or eighteen miles
southwest of this place, where we arriv-
ed about IL o'clock. Hiawatha far sur
passed our expectations. in the number
Of its buildings. We were expecting to
find about half dozen small tenements /;
but instead of that number, wefound over
twenty houses already erected. and about
dozen more lying about in all direc-
tions, almost ready to go up. Many
more are in contemplation, and there is
prospect that the number will reach at
least fifty, by the time Winter sets in.
The town now contains tavern and q
store; and among the contemplated i'm
provements, are large brick hotel, and
several brick dwellings. MIR. Joseph
Klinefelter, Building Commissioner, on
last Monday opened the proposals for
erecting County building. and we pre-
sumo the contract has been awarded.
The building is to be thirty feet square,
and two stories high. The upper story
is to be used as a Court Room, and the
lower story is to contain several rooms
for the County officers, and one to be
finished up for a jail.
A year ago, there was but one house
in Hiawatha. Nearly all the buildings
there, have been put up the present sea-
son. The site is beautiful one, upon
the high. level prairie, where one can see
for miles in every direction. The prin-
cipal proprietors of the town are Messrs.
Dutton and Ryder, who reside there.
Hiawaths is surrounded by beautiful
country, and there are very many farms
under cultivation in the neighborhood.
There is no doubt but that it will make
an important town. We heard the peo-
pie out there complain that they had no
road to White Cloud; and we had heard
the same complaint before we went there.
This is a great mistake. We found a
very good road the entire way. 1t may
not be-a regularly and legally located
road, but it is much travelled, and we
have been told that it is the best road
leading from White Cloud to the back
country. There is now petition out,
for direct and permanent road.
While on our way home, the heaviest
rain shower of the season came up, and
as usual, we had the good fortune to be
in the whole of 1.-THE rain ceasing just
as we reached home. Ere long, we con-
template visiting other portions of the
beautiful County of Brown. We had
better select day for this purpose, in a
time when rain is badly needed, as our
starting upon a journey will be sure to
bring shower!
