Amsterdam On. y Democrat, January IL,
Ticket No. IS, 455 drew the capital prize of
100000 in the December drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery One-fortieth of
this ticket was held by Earl Wheeler, who
lives at So Grove street In this city. Mr..
Wheelr therefore was entitled to receive
$4,000. A Democrat reporter to-day called
at the home Of the fortunate man and sue
ceeded in getting from him an admission of
the facts, as follows:
Yes, I held one-fo.tieth of the winning
ticket. I placed the ticket IN the hands Of
Banker j. Nedder Morris for collection, and
Agent B. f. Oliver of the American Express
company paid Mr.. Morris the amount less
S1Ol.55 express charges on the 10th instant.
Mr.. Morris deposited the amount in the
Farmers National bank in his own name.
I he latter disIikes nO5Oriety, hence this
roundabout proceeding. That the amount
has been received and that the Louisiana
State Lottery Company fulfilled its obigR-
tons Mr.. Morris verifies and MS word can
not be questioned.

now stands. The process of removal
was gone through without dlscord
or trouble. The abettors OF the
scheme formed a strong combina-
ton, and those opposed knew
that it would be futile to make a fight.
ST.. A. D. Balcomb was the editor of the
Republican at that time, and IN his i'm
%agination, he considered himself the
potentate Of republican politics in this
neck of woods. But SO quietly and eff
fectively was the work all accomplished
that the capital was ''done gone" and
removed before he was even aware of it.
He came out the next morning in a lou
ble-barrelled, double. loaded editorial,
ostensibly eXcoriatiug the removers for
this comp d'etat, but really because he
had been totally ignored ana not con-

The bill for buying the land and on

n small number of cabins clustered to-
gether upon what looked like an UNI

an open space lying outside at the west end
OF Inc south wall, covering 2 few acres with
graves. overlooked from the east by the
small black dome and minaret that stand out
above the tomb of David. A little grave had
been dug about four feet deep in a stony
GROUND, Here the corpse was set down and
the head priest began with a poem, whom a
second one preached an eulogy and a third
one read a history Of the married life Of the
deceased and his certificate of birth. During
the time that this was going on, a most
revolving scene greeted our eyes repeatedly.
The skeletons of deceased friends and rela-
tives were arranged alongside the grave and
and they were repeatedly kissed by the
living, and IN one Instance the skull Of one
was twisted from tho atlas bone, to which II
still adhered by membraneous ligaments, and
most vociferously embraced and kissed with
loud ordinations. In these performances
the widow was one of the principal actors.
When the priests were done, the grave
digger removed the black cloth that covered
the bier and corpse and thcn for the first
time we discovered that the deceased was
simply wrapped In a white sheet dipped INTO
the waters OF the Jordan. There was no
coffin. The grave digger was an expert. He
laid hold OF the deceased and with one swoop
swung him out of the bier and into the grave,
feet foremost. The head had to drop a foot
or two but there IVES q little pillow placed
under IL before hand. Two projecting sad
dies had been left, on each side of tho grave,
q little above the corpse. These were
SPAWNED by rough limestone slabs laid across
and then the grave was filed with surround
ing earth, not with spades but hoes were
used. And so was buried the body of a
human being with the remains of others, that
had been saluted by the lips of the living,
laid along side of HIM, and the paper as read

A REVOLVER FOR A CAVEL.
A "Reminiscences of the Placid Ante
Rellum Days.
THE NORTH AGAINST THE SOUTH
That is the DweHers OF the Legend
AIRY fIatte-Lively Scenes in the
Legislature-Guns in the Air
The Removal OF the Capitol.

Those were stirring days in the Ne
braska territorial Legislature back in
the sixties, say from 1865 to 1868, the
years in which the capital removal
scheme was procreated a second time in
the minds OF the combination who finally
succeeded in the accomplishment of
their designs.
The incipiency Of this second re-
moval war-if l may be allowed to SO
designate lt-had it's growth In the
struggle between the North and South
Platte districts Cor a reapportionment
OF their representation in the legisla-
ture. At that time the South Platte
district had the largest popula-
tion but the lesser represen-
t%ation, and this inequality was
not long in kindling the s%lumbering
fires of cOmbativeness within the manly
breasts of the ill-treated South Platters.
~ this session w. Ii. Taylor, the sem
ator from Otoe county, set the ball in
motion in the upper house by the intro
duction of a bill providing for a more
equitable apportionment Of the repre-
sentation of the North and South
Platte. Taylor made a determined
and vigorous fight for the cause he es-
poused, but only to meet with ignomi-
nous defeat, his bill was killed deader
than n door nail, it was then thought,
and laid away on the shelf forever.
But like Banquo's wraith,i it would not
down, and during the session of '67 the
question was again brought up and de-
veloped into one Of the warmest CON
tests within the history Of the territory.
The South Platters were the agrees
sors, but after all the preliminary stops
had been successfully taken they De-
came aware of the cogent contingency
that In order to achieve u victory, and
carry their pet apportionment bill
through, they must have some support
from north OF the Platte river.
After a vast dea of tinesse and wire
pulling, not unlike the modern article,
an invasion was made upon the
ranks of the northern faction, by
the South Platters, who finally sue
ceedod in getting the promise of tn 0
votes of Jesse Davis, Unthank and
Slater, the members from Washington
county, and also a partial promise OF as
sistance from the delegation from
and with their votes, and the solid
South Platte, together with the
speaker, w, +. Chaplin, the
r,eapportionists felt confident OF
passing their bill. In this,
however, they miscalculated, for when
ii came to IA vote the discovery was
made that they lacked one ballot te
carry, n even then it required the
speakers vote to make IL a tie.
Here was n deadlock, and the scenes
that followed in the house were of the
most spirited and interesting descrip
ton. Flibustering was the order OF
the day, and on several occasions dur
ing the proceedings u serious emeute
among the opposing factions was immi'
nent.

SPECIAL ELECTION,

There seems to be very little excite

which is to be held on the 3Osi1 ass'
September, in this State. In IA et
there are very few who ever saw a
word about it, and it is very likely It's.
election officers will have very little.
to do. Little argument for or against
the amendment is being heard, OF
little is said about it iE the ewspa perp.-
But the question is a very ilnportanh
ons, and every voters should study the
amendment we'll. and then vote bis
honest convictions. Assemblyman
Voorhees,. the young Republican
leaders of the House favors the Amend
ment. He says there is much thas1
can be said for and against the Amend
ment. In bis argument he uses the
following language
There is an uncertainty, too. as LIS,
what is general and what special liza
legislation. The clause has been ex-
planned. modified and defined 10 such
an extent that it is impossible, except
In the very plaiIest Gases, to determine
what is a special CT a local law unsis
after Judicial deter animation. There
mas been departure from the ssries
construction at first given to ths
clause. This has arisen from the very
necessity of the case. A strict con-
struction oftentimes worked harm,
As result there has been some CON-
fusion and uncertainty in the minds OF
legislators (and in wiser heads, too. for
that matter), and plen iful crop OF
litigation in order to find out Just what
the clause did mean.
The chief result of its working. SC
far as the clause now possesses apy
potency, is to prevent in nAny in-
stances desirable and proper legisla-
tlon. Legislation imperatively needed
by one locality has been prevented
because not desired in another. With
the constantly VARYING needs of differ
eat localities, each with different char
tiers, the clause in many instances
works harm and great Inconvenience.
1t is true it opens ths door for special
egislation, and the evils may be many.
But In the wide publicity now givea
by the press to legislation and the
watchfulness which the public show
Cor ought to show as a result thereof,
we may find good safe guard

More Suburban sites.

tract of land of J. H. Elmer adjoln-

East Avenue. 1t is expected that ex-
tensive improvements will soon be
inaugurated that will make South
Bridgeton" boom and blossom. Below
this purchase is that of Albertson and
Sheppard, upon which improvements
are already commenced in the
way of running and projecting
streets and avenues, notably Garfield
street, Hinson street and Fairfield
avenue. With man like Smith
Tomlin on one side and Albertson and
Sheppard on the other side OF ''South
Bridgetop," as it is probable this
section will boom and it is very likely
that pretty building sites will be Sc
cured and homes built up there. The
thing in order now is to talk and talk
lively for street railways, 80 that the
suburbs may be brought in easier

ion expressed in the PIONEER by Dr..
David Streets, concerning the East
Lake water The Superintendent
does not raw that the East Lake water
Is as pure as it should he, but ha dos
not believe that the inferiority of it Is
due to pollution such as described IN.
the letter of DR.. Streets. Mr.. Woodruff
is of he opinion that tha water is OF
good because of the gre Vt amount OF
vegetable matter in the poud. This
he thinks, is the source of the greatest
trouble. The superintendent says
that whenever the city is ready x,

A Railroad TO Establish a Ferr,

SALEM, N. j., Aug. 8. The Locusson
farm at Deep Water Point, on the Del
aware River, in this county, has been
purchased by the delaware River Rail-
road Company for $4,000. The object
OF the company is to establish ferry
between the point and the wharf to
the Wilmington & Northern Railroad
Company, on the opposite side of the
river. This will prove boon to the
truckers of Upper PENIS Neck, as it
will give them a direct route to the
west for shipping their products. 1t is
rumored that the road, whose termi-
nus is at Pennsgrove, will be extende
to Salem, through Pennsville at an
early date. This will open up rich
farming country, and give farmers and
truckers in that section splendid ship
ping facilities, besides affording Salem
competing line of railroad, which
has long been needed.
