Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.I
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, October 19-9:40
p. N.-This has been a grand day at Stat
ford Courthouse. The Democracy were
represented by Major Daniel and Judge
O'Feirall. Camcron declined to accept the
terms OF discussion offered, and Major
Daniel declined those rendered him.
The crowd was from four to one for the
Democrats, who had an immense audience
in the courtyard, while not a hundred fol-
lowed Cameron into the courthouse. The
result was Overwhelmingly in our favor,
and cheer after cheer went up for Daniel,
Barbour, and Mckinney until dark.
Major Daniels speech was Sublime,
whilst that of Judge O'Ferrall did ample
Justice to the splendid reputation he enjoys.
Stafford has her armOr on and is ready
for the fight.

The Litter, with friend (B. y. Kirkpas-
rickl wcntto Wytheyilie on Monday for the
purpose OF holding both Browning and the
editor Of the Dispatch to personal ac-
countabiIity, the latter having seemingly
endorsed the card. A correspondence was
opened. st. Clair disclaimed responsible
ity, while Browning declared he never
saw the offensive card until it appeared in
the DispdteA. Nothing was left White
head but TO denounce the author Of the
publication. Later an alteration occurred
between Whitehead and ID. s. Hounshell,
st. Glars friend, in which the latter Is
stated to have received sound drubbing.

We received the following COM
manication, too late for last weeks
JOURNAL
As a voter and citizen of Column
bns, and poor one at that, l hope
the project will not fall through, for,
IS bluff Dave Anderson says, we
want that road, right here. In the
first place, it will bring as residents
here, probably from ten to twenty
workingmen, who, | contend, are as
essential to the building up of a
town as any part of the community,
for whatever recompense they re-
ceiye for their labor, is circulated in
the town. Therefore earnestly
hope the moneyed men of Columbus
will be willing to risk little of
their wealth for the welfare of the
city, where they have mostly made it.
For whatever may be the faults of
railroad companies, this much must
be acceded to them; they are the
advance guard of civilization in the
building up of the country which
they go through, and l believe the
good will of the officials of the Un-
ion Pacific road will greatly advance
the prosperity of our city, because
our interests and theirs will he more
nearly identical. JAS. SALMON.

1T has been said that he who
makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before, is a
benefactor of his race. Even so, he
who shows a man how to accom-
plish given object with one-half
the expense ordinarily made. And
it is a false notion, too, to think that
this will discourage business. On
the other hand, it greatly encourages
it. A correspondent of the Genoa
Eeader, who evidently knows where
fof be affirms, has this to say of con-
crete houses: "Sixteen years ago,
helped to build a house--width, A
#. length, 80 #. height AZ ft. When
the walls were ready for the wood
work, it had cost $l,l50. 1t stands
as firm yet, as the day it was built.
A concrete house can be built at 35
cts. per yard. Get coarse, clean
sand; take l bbl. lime, Z of sand, l
pail of cement; mix well. If too
rich, add sand to reduce it to the
stiffness for stone work. Put the
mortar in the wall and crowd it full
of brick bats. gravel or stone. The
more you put in, the cheaper the
house. This most any one can do,
but the cement face will have to be
put on by a mason. A frame house
that will cost say ST, 200 can be built
of concrete for $3.50" 4

Additional news from Omaha
reports the high waters of the Mis-
souri, at that point on the 9th not
falling, but had reached twenty-five
feet above low water mark. The
lower portions of Council Bluffs are
very badly flooded and at least five
hundred people living in that part
of the city have been compelled to
abandon their houses and are being
cared for at the Court House and at
Bloom & Nixon's Opera House, fed
and lodged at the city's expense. 1t
is also reported that portions of
Nebraska City are flooded, and the
citizens compelled to move up on
higher ground.

Stock heus.

The largest cattle sale we have
heard of is that of Hall Brothers Of
New Mexico, who sold their rancho
and stock for 100000.
The trotting stallion Wedgewood
(record 2 :l90 has recently been sold
it is said for $4,000. W. P. Balch
and others of Boston were the pur.
chasers.
A stock raiser in Helena, Montana,
writes: II have paid $45 per ton
for the last hay l got. This territory
will loose at least one-fourth of all
its stock.
The demand for shorthorn cattle
seems on the increase extensive
sales are reported by many breeders
at good prices. Stock is good; bet
ter stock is better, and the best is
the best.
Mr.. John Clay of Bow Park writes /:
"The demand for shorthorn bulls of
the better class is very great. We
have three to four buyers every
week and they all mean business.
Nearly all the common bulls in this
neighborhood are bought up."
There are now in the state of Texas
ten breeders of Angora Goats, hav-
ing focks numbering from 100 to
1900 head. The Texas Sun calls the
introduction of this animal into that
state an established fact, and pre-
diets for it prosperous future.
A gentleman of wide agricultural
knowledge said to a writer in the
Rural Spirit, of Oregon: 81 have
raised and sold $4,000 worth of
wheat this year, and it cost me every
cent to raise and market the grain,
and sold $500 worth of horses,
cattle, hogs, sheep, wool and poultry,
and they did not cost me $1,000;
besides they put back on the farm
more than half that amount, while
the elements that il took TO grow the
wheat are now on their way to Eng
land. Every bushel of the writer's
wheat cost him about four times its
value last year. III. A.

Dan. c. Kavanaugh returned
Monday from Milwaukee, where h
had been called by the illness of his
brother Ed. Before arriving there
be received word of bis death. The
deceased was fifteen years old and at
the time of his death was one of the
messenger boys of the Wisconsin
assembly. At the adjournment, the
Speaker referred to the deceased as
sour very amiable little messenger
boy, whose efficient services have
been so much missed. Eddie was
well known here, by many of our
young folks who became acquainted
with him last summer, and who will
be sorry to hear that he has been cut
down in the flower of bis youth.

-Snpt. Clark came up the track
last week as far as Schuyler. He
came by rail, on foot and in a wag-
on; but he WAS bound to know how
il was for himself.-NesoS.
Yes, and he is just the man for the
place, - strong, pushing, thorough
and determined. His work after the
recent floods has proved all of this
of Mr.. Clark. Everything that fore
sight could do was done for the
travelling public and the business
communities along the line, and reg
ular trains running at the earliest
possible moment. The management
deserves unstinted praise for these
things.

The editor Of the Genoa Leader
recently visited Keatskotoos in
Platte county, to see their new pub
lie library, and grows very enthu-
siastic over the same. Every CON-
munity of any importance or self
respect should be provided with
some sort of public library worthy
of the name. Modern civilizs-
ton, our free-school system, are not
complete without it. 1t is in this
way that the poorest son or daugh-
ter of the republic, may have fac
ilities for self-education equal to
the richest.

H. G. Bean says that the channel
cut by the Platte, across j. Z. North's
farm west Of Barnum's, was one TO
two rods wide, aud in some places
fourteen feet deep. During the rise
there was four feet of water in the
Mat. Beebe house, and two feet in
No. 5 school-house. Mr.. Barnum
had two miles of his fence swept
away. Mr.. Bean lost the half of
his. Mr.. Smith, who was preparing
TO build stable, had the lumber and
a keg of nails washed off, but he will
probably get it all back.

Y MEMORY OF ELIZABETH, MICHAEL, MA
RY AND MAGGIE HANEY, WITH sYMPA
THY To MRS. AND MIR. HANEY IN THEII
BITTER AFFLICTION.
In the churchyard bleak
Where winds do speak
In only mOurnful numbers;
Where all is still,
With deaths dark chill
We've laid TO rest
Our dsrlings.
The bitter moan
In grief's sad tone
From fond hearts
Wrung in anguish;
The futile wish
That We had back
Our darlings.
They were 80 dear,
To us while here,
1t makes our hearts still sadder
To think that they
Can never say
Fond words zoe loved to hear,
Our darlings.
But none could save;
So in the grave
They're laid away for aye;
And ne'er again
Will sickness, pain
Or parting hurt
Our darlings..
We've said farewell,
But none can tell
How hard it is to bear
And say, God send
We humbly bend
To Him who gave and now doth take
Our darlings.
