Don't Be In a Hurry.

The North Platte Ne6rdSkian gives
the following interesting item from
the land of gold:
A gentleman by the name of John
Ellsworth arrived here last night di-
rect from the Black Hills, ell route to
his home in Illinois, where be has a
family. He went into the Hills in Oc-
tober last, and has been there up TO ten
days ago when he left. He has a fine
claim on Spring Greek which he has
worked as the weather permitted.
During that time he has taken out four
hundred dollars in placer gold. He
showed Us two hundred dollars of the
precious stuff, which he had in a
0uckskin bag. He said that anybody
who Is in such a break-neck hurry as
to start for the Hills now is darn
fool, to use his own parlance. But
said he, as soon as the spring opens,
anybody not engaged i'm a good bust
ness is mighty big fool if he don't"
We asked him why a man was doing
a foolish thing by going in there at this
time. He replied that no work to
amount to anything could he done
now. and hadn't been done since the
latter part of November and IL would
be dead expense from now until
spring.

A man named Fuchs, his wife and
a friend named Simmons. in Brook
lyn, recently got on O drunken spree
at the house of Fuchs, which resulted
in the most horrid affair that has been
recorded even in these times of terri
BILE crimes. While Simmons was ly-
ing on the floor beastly drunk Fuchs
took q band axe and chopped his
head off. Then to hide his crime be
cut the body into small pieces and
packed portions of 1t in jars. pots,
crooks, and other vessels and he hid
other portions of It about the bed, in
the celler and various other places.
or course his crime was soon found
out and the inhuman wretch arrested.
The pieces of the murdered man were
about all collected together, the muir
derer In the coolest possible manner
directing in the search. The excuse
offered for his crime and inhumane
conduct is that Simmons was too in
innate with his wife. The wife said
her husband accused her of infidelity
but that she was so drunk she does
not know whether che was guilty or
not.

A bank robbery recently committed
at Comanche, Texas, is thus describ-
ed by the Waco Reporter:
At about o'clock that morning
three men rode up to the bank, dis
mounted, hitched their horses, and,
entering the building, informed the
Cashier, Mr.. Hoy Mason, that they
wished to get some money changed,
one of them handing him a bill of
large denomination. The Cashier
turned to the safe to get the money,
and in an instant the three robbers
were over the counter; and had three
revolvers leveled Oh the Cashier and
the book-keeper, no one else being in
the room. While two of the robbers
held pistols drawn on the two bank
officers, the third one "went through"
the safe in quick style, securing about
So, 500. The thieves then went out of
the room, carrying the bank with
them, to their horses near the door,
mounted. and saying. "Now squeal If
you want to-" rode off In hot haste.
So quickly was it all done that none
of the citizens around had any sus-
picion of what was going on until
they saw the three robbers dash off,
A posse of men was Immediately or
ganized and started in pursuit, but,
up to the time our informant left CO.
manche. the thieves had not been
captured.

The personal and political enemies
of II. nj. Atkinson, late Com mission
er of Pensions, are endeavoriDg to
create the impression that he was
compelled to resign-that charges of
incom potency and fraudulent course
of official conduct were preferred
We speak advisedly when we say that
such charges are simply nonsens-
ical, and trumped up for purpose
Mr.. Atkinson resigned OF his own ac-
cord, obtaining thereby a more desir-
able position in all respects. Neither
the President nor the Secretary of the
Interior desired him to retire. On the
contrary that he should remain. His
official duties were discharged to the
entire satisfaction of all concerned.-
Mr.. Atkinson may have tramped on
somebody toes in his efforts to rid his
Bureau of irregular, and, perhaps. in
instances, fraudulent practices by
those transacting business with his
office. The combination in one of the
eastern cities by which over two hun
dred thousand dollars had been stolen
from the government was ferreted out
by Mr.. Atkinson and brought to JUS
tice. This made him enemies who
are now throwing dirt at him. We
repeat, Mr.. Atkinson retires with the
most friendly relations between him,
the President and Secretary, and with
q position far more desirable than that
of Commissioner of Pensions.

PaWnee Reservation Norman School.

1t is probably known to many of the
readers of THE ADVERTISER that an
effort is being made to obtain from the
government grant out of the Paw
nee Reservation of twenty sections of
land and the buildings now on the
reservation for Normal School.
This the government can well afford
to give as Nebraska has been cursed
from her earliest history with hordes
of savages within her borders as no
other State in the Union. No less
than five reservations have dismem-
bered the State, dividing 1t into frag-
ments the reservations being so many
Independent monarchies over which
the State law had little or no control.
On these tracts were harbored hordes
of lawless savages or desperate rene
gades who committed frequent depre-
dations on the people.
A few sections of wild land with the
shells of buildings at the agency will
very poorly compensate Nebraska for
the destruction of heI property and
lives of her citizens.
Possibly Congress may have no
power to make direct donation to the
State; yet law can be framed per-
mittin9 the State the privilege of Sc
lecting twenty sections of land, or
more, including the buildings, and
selling sufficient of it to pay for all
at the regular price per acre fixed by
law.
1t is the duty Of our representatives
in Congress to reimburse the State in
some degree, if possible, for the losses
sustained and the eannoyances endured.
In no better way can it be done than
securing sufficient means to sustain a
good efficient school for the education
of teachers for our common schools.
Mr.. Paddock is earnestly working for
this object and it is to be hoped that
our representatives. will heartily
second his efforts.

Senator HitchcOck's Bill.

Senator Hitcncock's bill, which pro-
vides that the Indian department
shall be turned over to the army, is
one step in the right direction, and it
is hoped that the bill will be speedily
passed, and that the Indian rings that
are now robbing the white people to
fill their own pockets and furnish the
sinews for political warfare will be
driven out with a scourge made of
ropes, and that the money changers
tables will be overturned and that the
people may be allowed to rest from
their toiling to furnish money for such
bad use. But the Senator should have
gone one step further and made clean
affair of the whole business, and so
worded his bill that all annuities
should be cut off. and no rations or
blankets should be issued to any In
dian until he has abandoned his mi
gratory habits. given up the chase and
become permanent occupant of
reservation, and in that event let his
annuity cease after five or ten years.
PdpiLiOn Times.
That accords with our notion ex-
actly.

der Gordon Of pearly buds festooned
to the wrist, and caught to the cuff of
the same flowers that finihsed the lace
of her sleeve. The bride had elegant
presents in plenty. but the cost of the
flowers alone at her wedding would
be a marriage portion for most of the
girls who read this.
DEFALCATIoNS.
Defalcations are as common as paw
ing stones. Winslow ran away from
Boston with $500, 900 of other peoples
money. Babbitt's cashier steals $780,
600. and now young banker ab-
seconds with all his customers money.
This last case is little peculiar. The
young man squandered it all upon a
woman but who do you suppose that
woman was? Why his own mother! !!
She is very handsome widow. forty,
who has passion for tho fashionable
life. The young man. her son, is a
weak, good fellow who loves his
mother-as very few sons do, and can
refuse her nothing. When he went
into business for himself, she emerg-
ed from the humble boarding house
where they had lived, and took an
elegant house uptown, and commence
ed living in the style of wealthy peo-
She set up a carriage, had the
house full of servants,-she gave ele-
CANT entertainments, she bought
diamonds, and camel's hair shawls,
and. in short, she lived at rate that
made all her old friends turn green
with envy. The son, all this time was
furnishing her with the means for all
this extravaganza, knowing that the
end was ruin, but his mother liked it
and he was too weak to say no. She
probably knew that she was living
beyond his means, but the madness
was on her, and she could not stop.
The end came last week. The young
man and his mother sailed for Rotter-
dam, taking with them every dollar
that was in the concern and all that
could be borrowed, begged or stolen.
It Is supposed that the absconding,
like all the rest of it, was the inspira-
tion of the mother, for all who know
the young man believe him to be
honest, if left to himself. The loss to
depositors will foot up $500, 900, and
there is as much more owing on notes
on the street. This vast sum of mon
ey has been spent within five years,
and that 1t was spent there can be no
doubt, for as near as can be as
certainedthey had mighty little to take
away with them. The fine house
was dismantled, though they had sold
quietly, all that they could without
exciting suspicion. Curious case !
Men have been ruined by women,
times enough, but who ever heard be-
fore of that woman being ones own
mother.
BUSINESS.
Is looking up little, and appearances
indicate a permanent improvement.
Money is getting plentier at the
West, and the merchants are buying
little more freely. May the improve
ment continue. PIETRO.

The present confederate congress
has introduced bills making appro-
priations to pay rebel claims, which
aggregate $50, 600. 900. It's only dem
onstration towards retrenchment has
been an effort to cut down and cripple
the army and navey whose numbers
are too small now for the protection
OF even the frontiers. Those old reb-
els hate Union navies. What do old
soldiers and truly loyal citizens think
of Democratic reforms and retrench-
ments, now, since It has had an op-
portunIty to show Its hand? Isn't it
nice?
