No Excuse for any one Being ont Of
Employment.

Our attention has been called to
some new and useful cooking utensils,
recently invented which make baking
and cooking a pleasure, instead of a
dreaded necessity. One of which, the
Patent Centennial Cake and Bread
Pan, made of Russia iron, is so con-
structed that you can remove your
cake when baked. instantly from the
pan, without breaking or injuTing it,
and you can remove the tube. and con-
vert it into a plain bottom pan, for
baking jelly or plain cakes, bread, etc.
Another-the Kitchen Gem a plated
wire boiler or steamer to hang inside
of an ordinary iron pot, for boiling or
steaming vegetables, etc., which
when done, can be removed perfectly
dry, without lifting the heavy, sooty
iron pot off of the stove, avoiding the
danger of burning the hands with the
steam in pouring off the hot water,
and the vegetables can not possibly
burn if the water boils dry, as the
steamer does not touch the
bottom of the pot. These goods are
sold exclusively through agents to
families, and every housekeeper
should by all means have them. A
splendid oportunity is offered to some
reliable lady or gentleman canvasser
of this county to secure the agency
for pleasant and profitable business.

Lincoln Crumbs.

LINCOLN NEB., Oct. 18th, 1877.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Since the advent of Mayor Hardy
Lincoln has become the moral city of
Nebraska. So moral, indeed, that
not even circus has put In an appear

tanned them from the river counties
where they are called pdpdUS.
The peace and quietude of Lincoln
was abruptly broken into last week at
two different times. A colored gen.
tleman, while on one of his rampant
perambulations, emitted his innate
anger by means of boot upon the
head and shoulders of his beloved
wife. No reason given except that
she gently reproved him for his way

The Y. P. G. A. has taken charge of
the assaulted, and the county, free of
charge, has given the assaulter sub
stantial quarters in the Jail.
Again. While one of our promi-
nent married men was engaged tete-
a-tete with dashing widow, his au-
gust person was suddenly surprised
by the unexpected entrance of his
better half. After taking In the situ-
alton she proceeded in a somewhat
loud manner TO make known her
presence by throwing the contents of

manner, and driving the inmates to

wife was brought into court for dis

st. Joseph to be the Great Railroad
Transfer Terminus Between the
Atlantic an Pacific.

The following taken from the st.
Joe Chronicle, shows what is going on
in connection with the railroad war.
A few days ago we made mention OF
the council submitting an ordinance,
which will be voted on to-day, TO
transfer a controlling portion of the
bridge stock to these railroad mag
mates. The ordinance will, undoubt-
edly be carried by large majority.
This will make that city the railroad
metropolis of the west.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15-Jay Gould, Sid

the city in consultation to form pool
line from New York to the Pacific
coast, via Quincy Hannibal and st.

Everything seems to have satisfac-
torily arranged itself for the compile
ton of the scheme, so far as the east
ern lines are concerned. They say
that the plan will be adopted if pre-
sented properly to the West. They
have no expectation of refusal from
the western roads, and say that the in
terests involved will be such as to en-
hance the value of western property.
ST. JOSEPH
will be the transfer terminus for New
York, west and east, so far as these
authorities are concerned. The new
competing line to the west is an un-
accomplished fact.

Good Use for q Dime.

We advise all our readers to for
ward their address and 10 cents TO
Orange Judd & Co., 245 Broadway
New York, who make a special offer
to send for this sum (half price and
postage) the number for October 1st,
of the american AgricultIrist. This
splendid number, besides over so en-
cravings, contains a great amount of
useful, practical. reliable, seasonable
information, not only for the farm
and garden, but for the household,
children included. Most will get
from it hints and suggestions worth
ten or twenty times its cost. Better
still. to send SLIGO and receive the pa
per, post paid, from now TO the end of
1S7S-that is, all of volume 81, with
the rest Of this year free. 1.-TWO cop
les for 81 80 each Nowhere else can
one get so much really valuable, pay
ing information for so little money
not three cents a week, a sum easily
saved or produced extra, which the
paper will be sure to help one to do.
This journal is prepared by practical
men and women. who know what
they talk and write about from actual
experience and large observation, and
they can and do greatly aid others to
profitable planning and working.
Many single hints and suggestions
each abundantly repay a years cost.
The fearless exposures of quackery
and humbugs in every number, are
invaluable, and have saved its renders
and the country millions of dollars.
The departments for the household
and children are pleasing and instruc-
tive. Every number of the paper is
beautifully illustrated. In short, the
AmericdE AgriculturfSt is full OF good
things, for every man, woman, and
child, in city. village, and country.
Take our advice and send 81 so for ii
months, or at least send dime for the
half-price specimen now offered, and
see it for yourselves.

That portion of both the Republic
an and Democratic press, whose spe-
cial Office seems TO be to cloud and be-
fog the public eye in relation to the
oriminally manipulated financial af-
fairs of the country, are solacing
themselves in various ways over the
late election results in Ohio. The
Democrats claim "a great victory"
and some Republicans call it "a fail
ure to endorse Hayes Southern poll
cy." Gould's special organ, the New
York Tribune, says: Communism
has carried Ohio" Thispaper seems
to have a more correct idea of whats
the matter. 1t calls all who fail to
agree with its idea of gold as the cir
cGlating medium, communists.
a correct and impartial analysis of
the late vote in Ohio, will show that
the financial question was at the bot
tom of results. Ohio is, perhaps, more
thoroughly aroused on the money
question than any other State in the
Union. She don't believe in resump-
tion, nor an exclusive gold medium.
Forty thousand Republicans of the
Western Reserve, in that State, did
not vote at the last election, but al
lowed matters to go by default, sim
ply because there was no other way
of giving expression. Hayes, Sher-
man & Co. are understood to be advo-
Gates of the gold interests, and hence
could not command the stay-at-bome
Western Reserve vote. That is all
there is of late results in Ohio. The
Southern policy of the President did
not enter into the question, or at least
to no material extent. Other States
will speak like language when the
opportunity presents itself. Nebras-
ka, with perhaps the largest proper
tionate Republican majority of any
State in the Union, would do so did
occasion require. The Shermans,
Goulds, and other Wall-streeters, had
better "stand from under" The peo-
pie will not always be trified with.

Some very serious charges have re-
Gently been perferred against Mr..
Wyman, Warden of the penitentiary
at Lincoln. The Governor refused to
accept his resignation, which was
rendered. but suspended Wyman from
office under charges. and appointed a
Mr.. Dawson, of Jefferson county to
act as Warden. What the charges
are have not been made public by the
commissioners now investigating
them, but rumor says they are for al
tering pay rolls. receiving pay for
more than has been performed, and
for gross and beastly conduct. We
will know all about it in a few days.

The State University is at last un-
der foil headway. The building is
perfectly safe, the contractors having
replaced the foundation without the
least show of injury. The fall term
is well attended, over 200 students
having registered up to date. The
faculty has been enlarged and intel
lectually improved. Thus everything
points to the most successful year of
its existence. This seat of learning
is worthy of the support of all State
educators, as'it is one of our best in

IngcrsOll's Reply.

PEORIA Ill, Oct. l6.-ColOnel In
gersoll's letter TO the New York %
server concerning Paine's death, pub
lished in Saturdays Call, and tele-
graphed over the country, has created
probably more excitement in the re-
ligious world than anything that has
occurred for half century. Brother
Ingersoll and the CAL are flooded
with letters and telegrams from every
part of the United States calling for
copies of the letter. The Gail is now
issuing the document in pamphlet
form.
We have read 1t in ertensO and find
it exhaustive and decisive. Col. In
gersoll has performed a great, noble
and generous deed, in the compilation
and collation. of the testimony which
overwhelmingly vindicates the great
patriot and his memory, from the vile
ISLANDERS of bigots. slanderers. and
crucifiers. Ingersoll's letter is in
tensely interesting, and will be read
by millions.

Chinese Burial.

A Chinaman who died in BellviIle,
N. T., last week, was buried as he
would have been If he had died in his
native land. He was clothed in the
usual Chinese garments, including hat
and shoes, and placed in a common
coffin, which was then put in grave
three feet in depth. At the side of
the grave there were placed q dish
two roasted chickens, and
another holding rice and chOp-stick.
BY the side of the dishes bottle was
put, and in hole at the foot of the
grave a small stone pot. Religious
ceremonies were performed, the grave
was filled, and all the property of the
deeeased-a trunk and clothing-was
burned.

International Prison Congress.

The following is an extract from
President Hayes late message to
Congress
The Government of Sweden and
Norway has addressed an official In
vitation to this government to take
part in the International Prison Con-
gress, to be held at Stockholm next
year. The problem which the con-
gress propose to study-how TO di-
minish crime-is one in which all
civilized nations have an interest in
common, and the congress of Stock
holm seems likely to prove the most
important convention ever held for
the study of this grave question. Un-
der authority of joint resolution of
Congress, approved Feb. 10, 1870,
commission was appointed by my
predecessor to represent the United
States upon that occasion, and the
Prison Congress having been, at the
earnest desire of the Swedish Govern
ment. postponed to 1877, his commits
sion was renewed by me. An appro-
priation of $4,000 was made in the
sundry civil service act of 1875 so as to
meet the expenses ofthe Commission
er. recommend the ereappropriation
of that sum for the same purpose, the
former appropriation having been
covered into the Treasury and being
no longer available for the purpose
without further action by Congress.
The subject is brought to your atten-
tion at this time In view of oircum-
stances which render 1t highly desir-
able that the Commissioner should
proceed to the discharge Of his impor-
tant duties Immediately.

The st. Louis Times figures it down
to fine point. thus:
"The Republicans in the next Sen
ate number 80, and the Democrats 80,
counting David Davis with neither
party. Senators Morton, Spencer, Pat
terson, and Sharon are sure to be alb
sent, reducing the Republicans to 50.
Senators Dorsey, ConOver, Matthews,
and Davis can be relied upon to vote
for the admission of the Democratic
Senators from Louisiana and South
Carolina-unless the administration
should oppose it-which would admit
them by majority Of four. After the
admission of those Senators the Sen
ate would stand 80 Republicans to 81
Democrats. Senator Jones may also
be absent, and Booth and Christiancy
may vote independently
This is not very pleasant picture,
but we have got accustomed to gain
at something like it ourselves, and can
stand it. The Times. however, need
Mt make the picture worse than it
really is, nor slander any Senators to
make its case stronger. There's no oc-
easion to do either.-Inter Ocean.

Stage Coach Stopped.

HAT CREEK, WY. t., Oct. 9.-The
down coach from Deadwood was stop
ped early this morning by two road
agents within a quarter of a mile OF
Lance Creek Station about thirty
miles north of here. The coach con-
tained only one passenger, lady,
who was not molested. There was no
treasure abOrd, the robbers told the
driver that they were determined to
stop the next treasure coach, and that
they were after Boone May, the mes
senger, and would kill him if possible.
1t is presumed they want to kill May
for having recognized and arrested
three road agents in Deadwood some
time since. The robbers were masked
as usual. but were recognized as Black
burn and Webster, the murderers Of
Deputy Sheriff Cuny.

The Iowa Republicans are good
deal elated over the figures of their
triumph, and are not bit backward
in calling attention to their treatment
of the question of endorsing the Pres
idenU as the true one. Their candi-
date for governor has plurality 49,
600 larger than their candidate in the
last off-year, and about 5000 larger
than their candidate in 1875. The
majority in the Legislature is larger
than it has been for many years. This

We don't want to growl at anything

compelled to say that The PIdindedL-

nest excuse for weekly exponent of
any Order, that we ever saw. One
would suppose that with the four edi-
tors whose names are paTaded so con-
spicuously on the first page, that an
attempt would be made tOget up some
thing readable occasionally. There
are Good Templare enough and friends
favorable to the Order, to support a
good live paper, one that would aid
in the good work in Nebraska and
who would gladly pay q dollar year,
without thinking they hat thrown it
away, if there was more vim in the
paper.-StGte journal.
