al da a SAINT JOSEPH DAILY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 10. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Second, of Anniversary Lomin Lodge, of the No. 15. Institu- On the first of December, 1871, Lomis Lodgo No.

15, Knights of Pythias, was instituted in St. Joseph. Arrangements had been made for a social anniversary celebration of the event last week at Pythian hall, but on account of the inclemency of the weather it was postponed until last night. Capt. B.

F. Buzard, chancellor commander of the lodge, presided, and a large number of the members of Lomia and St. Joseph lodges were present. The first address of the evening was by C. P.

KINGSBURY, and was as follows: CHANCELLOR COMMANDER AND BROTHER KNIGATS To say that I feel pleased to be present on this occasion would be but a poor expression of my feelings. feel proud to-night as I look over this large array of Knights, to think that only two years ago I was one of the twelve who organized the order in St. Joseph. Little did I think when Lomia lodge No. 15 was organized with only twelve members, that two years would bring the order in this city to anything near its present member hip.

Our lodges in this city to-day stand far ahead of any lodges in the state, in regard to our work, (as admitted by all the representatives in attendance at the late session of the grand lodge,) and are not excelled either in work or equipments by any lodge of this order in the world. This may seem Jike a very broad assertion, but I am confident that it cannot be disproved. For the benefit of our newly initinted brethren 1 will give a very brief statement of the formation and progress of the order in St. Joseph, and AS 1 think the chief cause of our success. On the first of December, 1871, Past Grand Chancellor G.

B. Birch, assisted by two brother Knights from Hannibal, and our late brother, M. P. Gaddis, of this city, instituted Lomia lodge No. 15, with 12 charter members, as follows: John Pinger, W.

Z. Ransom, William Drumbiller, N. W. W. Sherman, H.

B. F. Buzard, C. P. Kingsbury, Sherman, Joseph S.

Browne, J. L. Bittinger, Philip Arnbolt, Sam Hess and A. 8 Long. When the lodge was first organized, the project was looked upon by the people of this city generally as a humbug, or a sort of Sons of Malta affair, and the organizers were ridiculed tor attempting to uphold and defend it.

What a change in public sentiment has taken place in only two years! In the spring of 1872 the order had increased to such an extent that some of the deemed it advisable to start another lodge. On the 14th of May St. Joseph lodge No. 22 was organized, with 11 charter, members, as follows: Joseph S. Browne, Seymour Jenkins, Robert MoJohn Gregor, H.

M. F. Anderson, Harry Cornwell, Duncan, H. C. Fox, J.

L. Jourdan, Ferd Relgen, C. M. Masterson, and 0. C.

Barrington. Since that time the growth of the order bas been unequaled by any order ever established in St. Joseph, and it now numbers at least 250 members, and among them our best and most influential citizens. And now, I will ask, what has been the cause of this unprecedented success? In my opinion, simply an ambition in the lodge room to excel in.our work, and out. side the lodge of to carry out the principles and aims our order, which are given to us by the supreme lodge in the following beautiful sentence "Founded on naught but the purest and sincerest motiyes, its aim is to alleviate the suffering of a brother, succor the unfortunate, zealously watch at the beside of the sick, soothe the dying pillow, perform the last sad rites at the grave of a brother, offering consolation to the afflicted and caring for the widow and orphan.

Having these principles in view we will endeavor to exemplify them by practical tests, and if, by the grace of God, itshall successfully accomplish this object, we shall feel that our mission has not been in vain." Brother Knights, I feel satisfied that we nave brothers "exemplified them by been practical testa," as our who have relieved, and the families and friends of our deceased brothers can testify. And I feel confident that the brothers will bear me out in the assertion that the action taken by the lodges in the cases of brothers Adler, Van Duyne, Long and others, has done more to bring good men into the order than all other causes combined. While we claim to be a chivalric order, our weapons are of different character from those used by knights in olden times. Their weapons were the sword, the AXE and the lance; ours, friendship, charity and benevolence. success was attained by feats of great daring and also by the exercise of great bodily strength.

Our suceess depends upon our moral courage, and our strength in upholding and carrying out the principles of our order as laid down in our ritual. The following poem, which I read a short time since, will also serve as an illustration: of our principles, as regards relieving the distressed. You have probably all read it, but as it applies 80 closely to our order, although not written for it, I hope you will pardon me for introducing it here. The ancient knights were brave and true, Or so, at least, we're told in story; And gallant deede would often Som- times for love, sometimes for glory. Each knight esteemed his lady's glove gift most precious, and would wear it, His visage pinced above, And in the fray most proudly bear it.

And whether 'twas in foreign lands, That Christian hosts made brave endeavor To wrest by force from heathen hands The land by Christ made dear forever; Or at the brilliant tournament, Before and all its beauties, The gallant knight alike was bent On valiant deeds and knightly duties. Perbaps our modern times may seem little tame, a trite sordid, When the mind examples teem By ancient chivalry afforded; But 'tis not in the deid alone That a true knight can prove devotion; And chivalry is often shown In simple scenes, with less commotion. The may be a farmer's deld, foe an irritated gander, The knight, a boy, who ne'er will yield In the defence of girlish candor. The dashing sword is here transformed Into a cudgel, stout but handy; Nor do the two to contest warmed, Stop lofty -sounding words to bandy. The frightened girl's dilated eyes Look gratefally on ber defender, Who saw ber flight and heard her cries And bastened welcome aid to render.

A few sharp, well-directed blows Quite soon subdue the hissing creature; The timid girl forgets her woes And smiles her thanks from every feature The hero felt a modest pride, Like to the knight of olden days, Nor do I think "twill be denied That truly he deserved some praise. The spirit of knight-errantry Though thus displaxed, was not the less, And the boy's innate chivalry Inspired aim to relieve distress, We have begun a good work in this city, and our great success is due to the manner in which we have carried out the tenets of our order. Let us enter upon the third year of our order in this city with renewed strength from the victories we have already gained, and may we win new laurels esch succeeding year until our beloved order shall become universal. And let us each so endeavor to regulate our lives that when the dread summons comes we shall be ready, and feeling that we have remembered our obligations and been faithful to our principles, we can pass from this earthly sphere with malice toward none and at peace with the whole world. Harry Cornwell, of St.

Joseph Lodge No. 22, presented carefully, prepared statistical history of the order universal. R. R. Calking spoke briefly and pertinently as follows: CHANCELLOR COMMANDER: I feel highly complimented in having been invited to speak a few words on this anniversary 00- casion.

My speech will be brief. First, I thank you and the members of Lomia Lodge, No. 15, for the privilege of testifying before you to the value of the order of Knights of Pythias. Such an organization as this denotes the highest type of civilization. Friendship, charity and benevolence form the basis of our order, and men bound together with such bonds must accomplish much good both for themselves and the world.

Man is an anomalous being at best. Seen in his crimes, his wArs and devastations, and acting under the impulses of envy, jealousy, hatred and other wicked passions, he might be mistaken for an incarnation of an evil spirit, fresh from Tartarus. In his schemes of charity, his works of love and his efforts to benefit mankind, inspired with simple friendship and guided by virtue, he seems a bright intelligence from beayen. The objects and purposes of our order are dictated by humanity, and the true knight, one who remembers his VOWS, must live a noble life. We may strive to excel in good works outside of our respective lodges, and within them all of our aspirations should be heaven-born and holy, Secondly, I congratulate you and the honorable knights of Lomia Lodge No.

15, in the progress you have made since your organization two years ago. Your valor, your charitable deeds, your whole record has given you high standing and AD enviable reputation at home and abroad. I see around me knights whose escutcheons and fair fame have 1873. -DAILY GAZETTE. LOGAL INTELLIGENCE.

Our purpose in offering goods at reduced prices is to effect the sale of a portion of our stock of fine furniture, which we made up for the Exposition at great cost of time and money and at the urgent request of many friends. At that time we were intending to commence manufacturing for the wholesale trade, and should have done so, had we carried out our own plans, and manufactured such goods as the market required. As it has turned out, we are left without money and have a large stock of fine goods that we shall be obliged to sell for lessthan one-fourth their value of ship them to St. Louis or elsewhere. We shall now manufacture for the wholesale trade only, and still offer our entire retail stock at reduced rates until it is closed out, for the retail trade in St.

Joseph alone is not sufficient to sustain first-class furniture sore. 80 BENNETT Opera House Furniture Store. nolltf Best Custom Made Boots and Shoes. Sold Very Low for Cash at Geo. Quentin's No.

If you feel 8 peculiar kind of feeling coming over you, and are not certain what it is, give the public the benefit of the doubt, and shoot yourself. -A down-trodden farmer inquired at the drug store yesterday for a pile-driver. -A printer in the Brunswicker office Has such a bad cold that he distributes all the n's into the boz. -An absent-minded man in a photograph gallery yesterday, when asked how be would have his pictures, replied: "Give me a dozen raw." -Attention is called to the advertisement of Frazer Douglas in another. column.

Persons will save money by visiting them before purchasing elsewhere. The Union Pacific railroad is about to sue the government for pay for transportation of mail, troops and stores, and its claim amounts to about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars per year. -Some surly fellows in Omaha are grumbling beeause men who earn fifteen dollars a week hire sleighs at four dollars per hour. Can't you recognize genius when you see it and come down with your little applause The young man who can do that has greatness waiting for him. He comprehonds the principles on which the country is governed ond only wants an opportunity to shine.

What material for an Indian agent is lost in bim I We judge from the rush that we saw yesterday at Chambers Marney's, that they are in reality letting the people know what low prices in dry goods are. Their store was litterally filled all day, and so great was the number that it seemed next to impossible for all of their customers to be waited upon. -0. A. Mossman, was in Forest City yesterday.

He says Holt county is literally alive with hogs which the recent advance in prices is bringing out for market. It was estimated that at least 8,000 would be shipped from Forest City yesterday. -The Alf. Freeman case, at Hannibal, has again been continued, and this time by. the state on account of the absence of Leoni, an important female witness.

-Major. W. F. Downs WAS elected president and T. J.

White Secretary of the western district of the Young Men's Christian Association, now in session at Lawrence. -Although the dispatches. of Monday and yesterday indicate an advance in all kinds of dry goods in New York, Obambers Marney will continue to sell their entire stock at their greatly reduced prices, and consumers should not fail to take advantage of an opportunity which may not Again present itself for years. They are thoroughly in earnest this time, and if you do not find bargains at their store, it will be useless to look elsewhere. -The Waterville (Ks.) Telegraph says: A Clay Center correspondent of the St.

Joseph GAZETTE suggests the propriety of connecting the St. Joseph and Denver railrond with the Central Branch, by building a line from Marysville to Waterville, and frem here extend it to Clay Center, etc. We believe that such a scheme, if carried out, would be of incalculable interest to the wholesale business of St. Joseph. The project is a favorable one, and we should like very much to see it agitated.

Waterville is not at present tied up in any railroad matter. She is not under a single dollar's obligation to any railroad seheme, and she proposes hereafter to keep clear as regards tying herself up by promising bonds to this or that project. Nevertheless, railroad projectors can make their calculations and lay their plans, and should anything turn up which may seem to be of benefit to Waterville and our people, she may be counted upon to do her full share toward furthering the work. -Notwithstanding the cry of low prices to reduce stock all over the city the rush at McKinneys, No. 105 Felix street, continues.

He is getting in new goods almost hourly, bought for cash at forced sales in New York. Everybody knows McKinney's goods are all new and have been bought since the great decline, and that he CAD sell cheaper than any house who bought largely early in the season. Hence the rush at his store. Every day he takes ery advantage of the market in buying and is determined to sell everything at his house cheap. He offers some special bargains in dress goods, reps, water-proof, heavy piece goods, flannels, hosiery, canton flannels, shawls and cloaks this morning just received from forced sales for cash.

Joseph. Second, that their efforts to please are appreciated, judging from the attendance which they nightly receive. The principal attractions last night were Misses Maud De Lisle and Minnie Gray, and the "Robbers of Pateetown."

Ludicrous Scenes at the Opera House Last Night. The truthfulness of that familiar saying, will happen in the best of was frequently verified at the opera house last night. From what we could gather there seemed to be a very general understanding that the British patriot and orator, Charles Bradlaugh, was one of the stars of the "Star Lecture Many were the "season tickets" presented and rejected, many were the persons chagrined and mortified by the intelligence received at the door that the notable Briton WAS "starring it alone," and belonged not to the "St. Joe Star Lecture Course." We are unable to account for the erroneous impression that prevailed among so large a number of the holders of season tickets in the star course, and are sorry, among other things, that so many well manipulated toilettes were seen and admired only by the man at the door. With Mr.

Bradlaugh's lecture our home lecture bureau had nothing to do. He came here under the auspices of Mr. Locke, of Kansas City, one of the most energetic managers in the west. SEVEN REASONS Why You Should Insure in the Prolection Life lusurance Co: 1. Because you only pay just what it costs for death loss, and a fixed sum for expenses.

2. This places Insurance within the reach of those who need it. 3. The payments are so distributed that the poorest can, without inconvenience, meet their assessments. 4.

It costs only one-fourth as much the old line Insurance Companies. 5. It is the duty of every one to provide for those dependent upon them. 6. It enables the Insured to enjoy the fruits of their labor, knowing, if death should suddenly overtake them, they have made ample provision for their loved ones.

7. The security that losses will be promptly paid is greater than any stock company in the world. For further information apply to J. K. RICKEY, District Agent for Northern Missouri, headquarters Pacific hotel, St.

We announced on Sunday last the burning of the gas works at Lincoln, Nebraska. The State Journal gives the following account of the catastrophe: Three men were in the building at the time the fire occurred. Superintendent, A. G. Hastings, and Messrs.

Nichol and Lawson, gas makers. The pipe leading from the retort to the gasometer had become obstructed with impurities; the two last named workmen had been engaged in cleaning it out and had in uncoupling the pipes or inserting the plugs left loose joint somewhere through which the gas escaped, and coming in contact with the fire in the furnace, had exploded. Messra. Nichol and Lawson were in the room when the explosion took place, and Superintendent Hastings in an adjoining room. They were all stunned by the explosion, Mr.

Hastings being struck in the head by a missile of some kind, and knocked down, Messrs. Nichol and Lawson thrown down and burned considerably about the bands and face. They soon recovered and had barely time to. escape from the burning room. Only the wood work of the room where the explosion took place, and the roof of the building, were burned, owing to the exertions of the fire department, and it is believed by the officers of the company that the works will be in good running order by Tuesday next.

A large force was put on yesterday afternoon to clean out and make repairs. In the meantime there is corner on kerosene oil, lamp chimneys and wicks. We shall suffer great inconvenience for the next two nights, but if all is well by Tuesday night, we shall consider ourselyes quite fortunate. Brackets.

EDITORS GAZETTE: My attention has been called, since my return here, to an article in the Western Industrial Advocate of the 15th instant, published in your city, in which the writer attempts to discredit and ridicule the idea of building water works in St. Joseph by the National Water Works Company.

The article is filled with misstatements and assertions, without argument, facts or figures to sustain them. Had the writer really intended or wished to inform the good people of St. Joseph correctly (in the absence of faith in the representatives of the Water Works Company) be should have enclosed three dollars and fifty cents ($8.50) to the secretary of state at Albany, New York, with the request that a certified copy of the charter of said company be sent him.

If your city council accept the proposition made by the national water work's company several weeks since, Mr. Pearsons and myself will come up during the month of December, or early in January, make a survey and locate the works at St Joseph, and take all steps necessary to put the works under active construction early in the spring, as the building of the works can be prosecuted simultaneously at both pany.

District Meeting A EDITORS GAZETTE: I have never written a great deal for the press, but when 1 have as good a subject as Savannah and its people I can not forbear.

Savannah is the county seat of Andrew county, beautifully located and well improved. The evergreen and fruit trees which cluster round every residence in town, show its age. As a home it has no equal among western cities; as a business point it is good. We have two large clothing bouses, two jewelry stores, two saloons, three grocery stores, two restaurants, and about one dozen dry goods stores, together with two banks, and other places of business in proportion. Circuit court was in session last week and continues this week, Judge Kelley presiding.

There is a very full docket. Added to the twenty lawyers of Savannah in attendance, there, were goodly number from St. Joseph and Maryville. From St. Joseph were Pike, Strong, Mossman, Thomas and others.

Last week we had two "dead beats" sentenced to the county jail. Insanity saved one from the penitentiary. Judge Harlan defends most of the criminals, while our right worthy prosecutor tells the jury that they must make an example of some one. Religiously and socially speaking Savinnah can not be beat. It has six churches, one temperance society and pretty girls in abundance.

For many days the public has been constently reminded, through the city press and by circulars and bulletins, that Charles Bradlaugh, the eminent English orator and radical, would lecture at the opera house last night on Republicanism in Europe." The orator's fame had preceded him across the Atlantic, and thousands in New York and Boston were in waiting to give him an enthusiastic reception. St. Joseph had read the most elaborate encomiums of the American press, and yet not half handred men and women went to the opera house last night and purchased a ticket to bear the man whom the New York Graphic pronounces the greatest living orator next to Emilio Castelar, president of the Spanish republic. This paucity in attendance was, in one sense, a stigma upon the fair fame of our city. To bear and see Bradlaugh Ave minutes is worth more than to listen to Bret Harte for hours.

Tue intense power of the man is simply wonderful, and it is not surprising that he is admired and cordially hated by the monarchista of England. The personal appearance of the man would make him noticeable in any assemblage of his peers where the English tongue is spoken. Over six feet in height, with an easy, swinging gait, and his chest like the breast of an onk his large blue eyes, brown. hair, which thickly clusters behind his ears; his fair, ruddy skin, and his thoroughly athletic proportions bespeak him 85 the pure blooded Saxon Franklin, who from the day of Runnymede has been habitually creating trouble for the oppressor and the bloated aristocrat. This is the man who lends and has led for twenty years the lever growing masses of the people of England who pray for a republic of law and order, and whose prayers, if successful, must entail the downfall of the landed aristocracy.

This man is the greatest agitator Great Britain has seen since the days of O'Connell. Mr. Bradlaugh is over six feet in height, weighs about. 210 pounds, and is editor and proprietor of the London National Reformer, the organ of the English republicans and secularists. Such 8 man is the orator who spoke to empty benches in St.

Joseph, and was indigrant at the manifest lack of appreciation. But Mr. Bradlaugh, claiming to represent hundreds of thousands of poor artisans, mechanics, miners and laborers in Great Britain, should consider that the citizens of the United States, however thoroughly in love with republican institutions they may be, may be loth to pay one dollar to hear the history of those institutions related and their principles expounded, even by a most eloquent orator, when the freedom of the press, coupled with free education, enables them to obtain the solid facts the next morning for five cents. But the lecture. Mr.

Bradlaugh was introduced briefly as the eminent English orator and radical. He said that the republicanism for which men strove so earnestly and successfully in this country one hundred years ago did not concern those in England to-day. He would show that there was a living movement on the other side of the ocean, tending to the same great end. Republicanism is not new in name; it has existed for centuries. The speaker here expressed his regrets at the slim attendance, expressing doubt as to whether the reason was due to the speaker or the cause he advocated.

If the former, he was sorry they had so unworthy a pleader: and if the latter, no words could be too strong to fashion his regret. Had he not something of vital importance to say, he would not be here, and he thought the race taught by Franklin and Jefferson and Washington would desire to be instructed. If he was mistaken, the mistake was a natural one. A republic existed in Greece, but it was only a republic in name; the people were slaves. 'The republic of Milan was simply creation of a government by a class, and not by the people.

There could be no republicanism where portion of the people abstain from participation in the government: Citizens must have not only the privilege of political life, but must feel the duty. Republicanism in Europe was born in France, out of ignorance instead of intelligence, weakness and not strength. It was not a development of the brain, but of the emaciation of the body. It was not All expression of the desires of to-morrow, but of the necessities of to-day. The masses were poor, ignorant and demoralized, and true republicanism could not be based on such material.

France had not, in the days of Robespierre, learned the lesson of republicanism, and England has not learned it yet. The only true nobility is that of effort and intelligence, and not that derived from the pretty face of a woman, or the scoundrelism of a man. The speaker alluded to the French revolution of 1789, and gave a graphic description of the storming, capture and destruction of the Bastile, which, he said, was as black as the Bourbon dynasty. By its destruction the monarchies of Europe were defied, and the first gauntlet was thrown down. When Lafayette went from Boston to France be carried some of the spirit of independence with him, and it had its reflex, but it was not enough.

The masses still knelt to the king, and neither kings nor the killing of kings will make a republic. The masses must be 50 educated that man can be king. The republic of 1798 was none; the masses were too poor and ignorant. Besides, surrounding monarchies on every side waited to stab the republic to death. The crimes of that epoch were not chargeable to the leaders in Paris, but to George ILL, who expended £1,200,000,000 to stifle the republican spirit, lest it should shake own throne, and drove France into military madness and the arms of Napoleon.

The resolution of 1848, and the relapse into the second empire, were briefly alluded to, and the speaker came down to 1870. There is now, said he, no republic France; because there has been no expression of the will of the people. France has no free press, and all goes wrong. The tendency is toward republican ideas, and the progress has been sO great that no Bourbon can be restored. The nation is growing into republicanism, but it must get rid of its centralized system of government.

Referring to Italy and Garibaldi, Mr. Bradlaugh expressed the earnest belief that the Latin races would eventually, become republicanized, and wipe out the monarchies of southern Europe. And now, said Mr. Bradlaugh, "I come to speak of Spain, and I have due reference to the weight of my own words. Spain deserves to be a republic for the sake one man, and that man is Emilio Castelar the most honest, loyal, thorough and pure man in the world.

To-day Spain not a republic. True, the cortes voted a republic, the nation afterwards voted representatives, and these again voted nation a republic. The government of to-day is simply the down break of monarol instead of the outgrowth of republicanism. Republicanism comes to the front because monarchy fell of its own weakness. "Last May I had occasion to visit Madand while there was the guest of Senor Castelar, who was then secretary of foreign affairs.

In long and frequent conversations with that gentleman, whom I know be as pure a patriot us ever lived, be took occasion to say in reference to Cuba: "I recognize the existence of two insurrections in Cuba. One, with which sympathize, is carried on by people who only ask the liberty I would freely give them- the right to govern themselves, which I would concede. The other is the insurreetion of the royalist volunteers of Queen Isabella, who are now in possession It the island. The one with which I sympathize is in arms against Spain, and I am Spaniard. The other carries the standard of Spain, and under its shelter perpe: trates untold atrocities." "Castelar is in a critical condition, No one of you looks upon the recent horrible murder perpetrated in Cuba with greater abhorrence than does Emilio Castelar.

No means, no matter how infamous, are left undone by the old royalist party of Spain to embroil his administration in trouble; to i stab him in the back, and prevent the establishment of a Spanish republic. Then, in the name of liberty, which you all enjoy in this God-favored land, I appeal to you for moderation in your denunciation of that purest of men, Emilio Castelar. Let your righteous wrath be directed not towards him, but towards his enemies, the volunteer butchers in Cuba. Coming at last to the republican movement in England, the speaker said it was a reality in work and endeavor. Whether it shall eventually be a government, said he, depends on ourselves and on you.

Where else can we go for sympathy but to you, who speak our own language? What have the crown and aristocracy of England done for you that you should kneel, to them? The history of George ILL, will tell you. 'America ought to be, can and must be the teacher of republicanism to the world. She cannot separate herself from our struggles. Our movement is real. We baye clubs all over Great Britain.

Do. you say these mark nothing? Last May 6,000 people assembled openly in one hall in Birmingham, only fifteen of whom were in favor of monarchy. He denounced the game laws, and alluding to the condition of the agriculturists said: Take their wages -and I speak now from evidence laid before parliament, which may be reached by any one who takes the pains to apply for it. Except in the counties in Englond of Northumberland, Durham and Cumberland, the laborers' wages are from as low as seven shillings and sixpence per week to, in the highest case, fourteen shillings and sixpence week. Their dwellings are admitted to be disgrace to a civilized country, Dr.

Simon, the medical expert appointed by the government, reported that in several counties which he visited the agricultural laborer was compelled to subsist on a diet which was incapable of sustaining life, and which bred myriad famine diseases, which swept the people off like sheep. In England a certain class was born to legislate, while in America a certain class: seem to take it as a trade. The first were very often fools. He believed the rights of life superior to the rights of property, and said the republicans of England were determined to win these rights peacefully, it possible, but to win them even if they had to overthrow the throne. A movement of force meant destruction, and.

that be deprecated. At the close of Mr. Bradlaugh's address, which WAS cut short owing to the slim attendance, gentleman in the audience arose and said: we not give three cheers for republicanism in England!" Instantly the orator, who was just leaving the stage, turned on his heel, and with a gesture that commanded silence, said bope not; it would. be mockery in an empty house A Fair and Festival, Under the patronage of the ladies of St. Joseph, to help the Christian Brothers to pay off the debt of the college, property, will be held at Tootle McLaughlin's hall.

Winter Goods I Winter Goods North Platte, the county seat of Lincoln county, is beautifully located on the Union Pacific railroad, 291 miles west of Omaha, and 224 miles east of Cheyenne, Wyoming territory, and is about miles west of the geographical center of the state.

It is situated on a beautiful peninsula between the North and South Platte rivers. LINCOLN COUNTY is the largest organized county in the state, and embraces 2,592 square miles, or 880 acres of splendid farming and grazing lands. It is watered by numerous small streams, also the North and South Platte rivers, which flow through the middle of the county and unite near the eastern limits. The valley of Platte river averages about twelve miles in width, and has a deep and exceedingly fertile soil, covered with rich growth of excellent grass. From these unequaled hay lands Fort McPherson, seventcen miles east of this, Ft.

Laramie, 285 miles west, and the Fort at this place, and others, are plentifully supplied with the very best of hay. North Platte is near the centre of the county, about three miles west of the junction of the north and south Platte rivers, and is geographically one of the most important points on the U. P. R. R.

It is the terminus of the first division of the road, and here the company has erected elegant brick repair, machine and blacksmith shops, a round house that has twenty-five stalls, and a commodious hotel that cost $30,000 or $40,000. The population numbers about 1,200, and the town' is rapidly filling up all the time. There are about 400 men constantly employed by the U. P. R.

R. at this point, and the government has two companies of soldiers stationed here for protection from the Indians. North Platte is a live town. It is destined to be the second city in the state. Her citizens are possessed of that liberality characteristic oft the noble west, and are rapidly becoming known for their enterprise.

I will just call the attention of the reader to the fact that this is one of the best points in the west to embark in business of any kind. Messrs. Feley Senter, general merchants, commenced business here about two years ago, with a stock of $25,000, and Mr. Feley, of this firm, told me the other day his sales would run up to the round figures of $125,000 this year. Charles McDonald is the pioneer merchant of the place, and even of the western part of the state.

He commenced business here in 1862, and since that time he has accumulated a handsome fortune. His trade is immense -it even extends as far west at Utah territory. Mr. McDonald also does a general banking business, independent from the store. Maj.

Herney is the cashier. Ottman Patterson's is the only "exclusive" grocery house in the place, and of course it would be useless for me to say they did not sell many, goods, for it speaks for itself. They employ 7 salesmen, 1 book-keeper, 2 porters and 2 drays. All of this force is kept busy all the time. From outer appearances they will sell something less than a balf million dollars worth of groceries in the course of a year.

These boys are young in life but old in business. May they continue to "set 'em up. George Brown is the superintendent of the magnificent Union Pacific hotel at this place, and by the way this is one of the best kept hotels between Omaha and San Francisco, and George is one of the nicest boys in the business. That his shadow may never grow dim is the prayer of the weary commercial man.
