ed, and in less than twenty. minutes
thereafter there was a case in. town OF
an assault with an attempt to commit
murder. 4
The north Loup mill, In Howard
county, fell into the river with a terri.
bic crash, having become undermined
by the water during the rise. Fortu-
nately, no one was In the mill at the
time.
In 1879 Platte county voted $10O, 900
in bonds to the Atohison and Ne
braska railroad company if it should
construct and operate a road into Co
lumbus by the frat day of July, 1880.
The company has fulfilled its part of
the contract, being ahead of time, and
the commissioners have delivered the
tonds. They are dated January 1,
1880, and arc due in twenty years,
bearing interest at 8 per cent.
-Tecumseh, johnson county, is
wildly agitated over a murder which
was committed at that place. Just
after q grand ratification, a quarrel
took place between a Mr.. Parker and
some half dozen other persons, who
maltreated tho father and son in a
shocking manner, and from which the
son died shortly after. An inquest
was held which resulted in a verdict
of murder in the second degree.
Seven men were arrested and placed
in Jail, charged with equal completely
in the crime. There was strong talk
of lynching two or three of the gang.
Two of the saloons were closed on &C
count of the murder. The authorize
revoked their license.
"A little Eve year old boy of Ju-
niata followed his father till he was
tired, and then lay down on the rail
road track and went to sleep, and
when the west bound freight came
along 1t knocked him off,. The train
was stopped as quickly as possible,
and the train men went back to look
the body, when up the little fell
low jumped and ran home almost

PENSIONERS,

Under the act granting back pay to
Pensioners, which passed congress
twelve months ago, Thursday, July l,
was the last daY upon which claimants
for arrears of pensions could present
their claims, Accordingto the statistics
of the pension bureau there have been
fled since the passage of the act, June
%, 1879, more than 1s0 900 original
invalid and widows claims. Of these
1881 we're fled last month. The
number Of unsettled claims now pend
ing in the Pension Office is upwards Of
800, ZOO, representing claims aggrega
ting not less than $500, 900 900 for the
first payment. The average amount of
arrears paid to each claimant is $1,000.
The number of claims which the Office
is enabled to dispose of with it's pres
ent force and under the present sys-
tenn, is about $500, of which about
1,S00 are passed upon favorably; the
remaining 700 being rejected, and in
most cases presented again, and have
to be ~re.exsmined in many instances
several times over. These are often
allowed after being thus rejected. 1t
is estimated that if no more claims, of
any kind, we're to be received, it
would require from twelve to fifteen
years to dispose of the work now in
hand, under the present system of
operations, and without a vast in
crease of force.
In addition to the work upon the
claims mentioned above, there is the
work upon increased claims, bounty
land claims, and 1912 pension claims.
1t will be remembered that Secre-
tary Sherman stated, immediately af-
ter the passage of the arrears act, that
the measure would cost the govern
msnt at least $780, DOC, 900. The
amount actually paid out for arrears
up this time is s32, 600, 600. This
added to the $500, OOO, 900 involved
In pending cases, and making a liberal
allowance for reJections, will, it is es
timated, make the aggregate amount
of arrears when all shall have been
cleared up, more than 500, 600, 600 in
excess of Secretary Sherman's esti-

dre3koet discovery OF ne age.
WonuvrfuI discoveriesin i'm the world have been made
Among other things where Santa Claus stayed,
Children oft ask II he makes goods or not,
II really he lives in Q mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pole
And suddenly dropped into what seemedlike Ihole
Where wonder. Of wonders they found q new land,
While fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours, with moro
beautiful green, o
And far brighter skies than ever were seen,
Birds with the hues Of . rainbow were found,
While flowers OF exquisite fragrance were grow
ing around.
Not long were they left to wonder In doubt,
A being soon came theJ had heard much about,
Twas Santa Claus self and Ia they all say,
he locked like the picturev esee every day.
he drove up . team that looked very queer,
Twas . team 81 grasshoppers instead Of reindeer,
He rode In 9 shell instead Of = sleigh,
But he took them on board and drove them
away.
He showed them all over his wonderful realm,
And factories making goods for women and men,
Furriers were working on hats great and small,
To Bunce's they said they were sending them all.
Kris Kingle, the Glove Makef,told them at once,
All our Gloves we are sending to Bunce,
Santa showed them suspenders and many things
more.
Saying I also took these to friend Bunce's store.
Santa Claus then whispered q secret he'd tell,
As In Omaha every one knew Bunce well,
He therefore should send his goods to his care,
Knowing his friends will get their full share.

OMAHA AMI THE CENSUS.

Some OF our citizens regard the GEN.
sus of Omaha as Disappointing. 1t is
not SO to the Herald, which holds it
as a gratifying exhibit. Great cities
can not be built beyond The resources
upon which they must depend for
support. Cut off for many years
from any real commercial connection
with.the most populous section Of the
state, and suffering from the Chicago
and Northwestern and B. & M. rail-
way policies of self-interest from ac-
cess to the other, Omaha has grown
with a wonderful progress in practi-
cally doubling its population in ten
years. People who say that the city
ought to show $4,000 inhabitants,
roost OF imaginary perches. Towns
and cities that grow beyond their re-
sources by artificial aids never fail to
fall back from such fictitious ad-
vancement. -Her
1t lisa downright insult to the intel,
ligence of our people to charge the
failure of Omaha to match Kansas
City in population and commerce to
the G. B. & Q. and Chicago and
North Western. If this charge in
directly implies that Omaha has been
dwarfed in her growth by the
refusal of these roads to
bring their trains into Omaha
the responsibility is not with these
roads but with the Union Pacific.
Every intelligent school boy in this
city knows that the ~exorbitant bridge
toll kept these roads from coming
"over into Omaha" before the infa
nous decision of the nephew of his
uncle Dillon, and the same policy has
kept them out of Omaha since then.
IT is not reasonable to suppose that
the O, B. & Q. and Northwestern
roads would willingly pay an exorbi-
tant tribute to the q. P. at Omaha
when they could transfer freight aud
passengers at Blair and Plattsmouth
at a nominal expense. The B. & M,
now covers about $50
miles Of road. 1t has placed
Omaha within competing reach
every important CITY and village south
the Platte, a region which had, up
to within the past five yeats, been
monopolized by st. Joseph, Kansas
City and Atcbison merchants, and yet
Omaha hasn't contributed a dollar to-
the B. & M. in the shape of
bonds or lands or tax exemptions. |
Had the Union Pacific railroad com
pany carried out their solemn contract
with Omaha, our popula-
ton to-day would have been more
than fifty thousand and no candid man
who knows the facts will deny it.

To the Editor Of TIE Bxx.
see in yonr Weekly a mention of
the Utah Eastern. Are you aware
that the Utah Eastern is being built
without q charter (it having been
vetoed by the governor last SESSION.,
and that when they get it built they
cannot operate it; and moreover, they
neve wilt, a the Summit County
railroad will run 1t outl ID. N.
We we're not aware of the above
ttate of facts, but we are by no means
surprised at it. The railway mag
mates seldom pay any attention to
their charters, and if some of them
are bold enough to risk the building
Of road without a charter, they are
entitled to our admiration. We al
ways have had more admiration for a
highwaymsn who boldly compels you
to hold up your hands than the sneak
VIII robs you under cover Of a charter.

The Democratic politicians mani.
fest a good deal of anxiety about the
construction which the attorney Gen.
eral of the United States places on
the election laws and especially the law
authorizing the supervision of Con-
gressional elections by deputy mar
shals. General Dsvens on this SUBJ
jsct says that while no appropriation
was made by Congress to pay these
officers, there will be no hesitation to
appoint as many as may be required
in every State of the Union. As to
the matter of pay, he says that can be
provided for, and, if necessary can be
paid out Of the usual funds subscribed
for party purposes. This course he
says has always been pursued by both
political parties, and he anticipates no
trouble in securing plenty of funds
and plenty of men to enforce the law
whenever required. He says that al
though Congress has repeatedly re,
fused appropriations for his depart
ment, he has been enabled, through
the cooperation of its officials, to Jon
tinue its operations uninterruptsdIy.

1t is now stated-though, we admit, upon
very questionable authority-that Secre-
tary SHERMAN has compelled some of his
clerks to contribute to the election fund,
where they had refused to do so voluntarily,
by Withholding the amount requested OF
them from their salaries, paying them the
balance. The statement that this is so OF
course needs other proof than the mere as
sertion of a journal which, if it ever tells
the truth about political opponent, it is
by accident. But, whether true or not we
sincerely hope it may become So The true
republican clerks in all the departments
cheerfully respond to calls of this charac-
ter, but there are a lot of democrats who
have been smuggled into positions under
some pretext and who are skulking in the
departments as spies or drones, eating the
bread that belongs 10 republicans and
abusing the hand that feeds them. These
refuse TO contribute for election purposes,
and if there is any truth in the statements
made it applies 10 that class. If the secre-
tary has compelled them by any process TO
whose bounty they arc subssting, under
the democratic doctrine that " to the vic
"tors belong the spois," we most
heartily applaud the act. 1t were far more
creditable 10 the service if the secretary
had summarly rid it of such material
by promptly giving each one their tickets
of leave, but failing in that, he has done
the next best thing. We hope that the
howls sent forth on this account may be
increased in volume until the very heavens
are vocal with the tumult We want the
whole world to know that Secretary SHER-
MAN has taught these squatter5 upon the
republican domain n lesson of dccency and
propriety. There is great comfort in
knowing and believing this, for there is
poetic justice" in the act which will ex-
cite feelings of profound satisfaction with
every true republican in the nation.
If we were TO make request of the
secretary in connection with this matter
it would be that every democrat who is
now insulting the republican sentiment Of
the department by hurrahs for HANcocE
aud insolent remarks about GARFIELD be
sent out of that service, TO remain out unit
the democratic party shall have captured
the government and occupy it by right o
conquest. For then republicans will b.
taught lesson in travel which it woult
be simple justice now to commend to th,
understanding of every democrat who ha
been tolerated in place under II republican
administration.

THE TRUE ISSUE

1t is as amusing as il is instructive to
note the unanimity with which the demo
cratic press attempts to subvert the true
issues Of the present campaign. They
would have the people believe that it is
General HANCOCK that is running and not
the democratic party They are very gener-
Gus in their expressions of admiration of the
past and prospective record Of the man upon
whose military fame alone hey, not he, ex-
pect TO ride into power. They would
have the fight personal encounter be-
tween the two generals, and so far MS they
are concerned utterly ignore party. But
unfortunately for them, the fight is not
between the generals, but between the re-
publican and the democrati c parties. That
is the true issue, and from it there is nc
escape,
During the financial crisis through which
we have so recently passed, it was charged
that the republican party, and especially
JOHN SHERMAN, was responsible for the re-
suits of that trying ordeal. Now that pros
perity, almost unprecedented under like
circumstances, has been the final result
they have no good word for the party OF
its financial agent, who SO successfully con-
Quoted our monetary matters through that
trying ordeal, The people VIII have ample
time TO inquire between now and the sec
ond day of November, what aids were of
fered, not by HANCOCK, but by the demo-
cratic party, during the dark hours of our
financial troubles, And it is certainly
food for reflection.
Instead of aiding in that perilous journey
toward resumption end restored prosperity
who does not remember the mcendiary
speeches uttered and schemes promulgated
by these HANCOCK admirers in botl
branches of congress? The record stands
against the democratio party, aud as from
the hour Of the final decision against the
