It brought up old times < was jest like seein you but gess if we were to meet you would have to hear me do some of the talkin. I never was great at lisenen make Dan tearin sometimes. Hes tellin somethin in his pesky long stile says yes he says what I'm dumfoundered if I know what to say but there is usu- ally way of gittin out of unpleasant predicaments is up to all such. don't know any such thing that we didn't have any edication. You went to skool every winter term of your life un- til you were 12 years old but Pa did say it beat all the way you couldn't git sense into your head did not think you ever would unless it was pounded in by hard knocks and think the same. I didn't have to have any R R thnnderin through my farm to educate elevate me thunderation drove into Johns- town to do some tradin that is 23 miles from here l had occation to cross the car track my goodness I like to killed. went quite nie the track when I heared thunder hghtnin bells screch- es hissin and spitin no knowin what all. Well was so skeered that I jumped out and got old Ned by tho head. We'll if you believe when the tarnal old edu- cator passed me it almost blowed me over. I tell you yells He'd < the sweat poured off of me I'll let you know once for all I'll never try that ere road agln. never seed it but once be- i fore. III trade trade nearer to hum af- 1 ter this. I should think your R R could blow off your stored energy. You better stick to your old stile of writtin. You needn't be putin in your dashes slashes < specks when you write to me I don't care how you spell if it only has look of the word.
 i Id like to see my boys or gals tell me what to do or what not to say. They'd soon find themselves slttin on the floor not feelin so very funny. Let them get the boss hand riches education dictionaries r. roads so forth wont be much comfort
 I pray you wont be writin me any more of your intofoolashnsh words. That ere one most made me crazy I kept on a sayin that fool os word to myself noon night and day gittin madder madaer at my self tryin to forgit it told Dan he was an old in tofoolashnst feller the way his eyes stuck out and he said he gessed your letters would da me more harm than good. Rut I've to stop this scratchin tc git dinner and skim my milk.

In the police court yesterday afternoon

Cinnamon in their wash-house on Har-
ney street about four weeks ago, was
fined $40 and costs and in default of
payment was remanded to Jail.
William Davis, the colored man, was
held by Judge Beneke in the sum of

district court. He was unable to give
the required bond.

with being a suspicious character, was
next taken up by the court. Valentine,
the U. p. detective, was the prin-
cipal witness for the state,
who testified that the defendant
wal a constant companion of a gang OF
confidence men that infest the city. The
witness continued that O'Connor did not
associate with the first class ''con'
workers, as they didlnot consider him their
equal in the business, not having the
necessary nerve. 1t was also shown that he
was n of the two men for whom William
Black, the Iowa farmer, waited at the
foot of Julius Treitscke's stairway on
the day Black was confidenced out of the
500. The case will be concluded this

Correspondence of THE BEE.
NORTH BEND, Neb., Aug. Is, 1884,
DR.. Abbott "sets it up" to Theron and
he kid in a very appropriate manner, In
Sundays Fremont Tribune and he but
echoes the sentiment of nine out every
ten of the republicans of Dodge county.
When Theron Nye, after being fairly
beaten in the convention last spring to
send delegates to Norfolk, procured a
proxy and followed the delegation up to
defeat the expressed will of the people,
he threw to the winds all the influence
he then had in Dodge county politics.
And it cannot be recovered. True, it
may be urged that he has a local paper
and a state paper to back him, but m
of them never had my
influence and the other attempting to
bolster him up must certainly be pulled
down to his political level. "The son of
his father" the editor of The Republi-
can, is a writer who has no more descre-
ton than a yearling male bovine aud he
is no better adapted to load the politics
of the state than his father to lead the
politics of Dodge county, and his infiu-
ence in the state, judging from the ex-
pressions of republicans in this vicinity
and republican papers generally of the
state, is waning fully at fast as that of
his father in Dodge county.
Messrs. Nye and Colson were both
delegates to the recent convention, but
they were conspicuous only for their alb
sence. Why were they not in atten
oance?
If unsavory delegates were elected
whose fault was it more than theirs?
The fact of the matter is, they stood
alone and since they saw it impossible to
rule the convention they proposed to
stand at arms length and fight it. Mr..
Fred Nye says that Mr.. Dorsey has
simply cut Dodge county in two with a
knife. 1t may have done so but if it
was it has simply left Theron Nye and
A. B. Colson on the one side and the
great republican party of Dodge county
on the other. 1t is barely possible that
the young man of the Republican fancies
that his progeuitor and uncle will tip the
beam. Let her tip. 1t will leave the
party on the upper end.
Respectfully, G. W. HYATT.
