e ——— MONDAY DECEMBER i 1864 AN APPEAL FOR UNITY. The Necessity of Organization Among ihe Profucig Classes, fhoe Vital Question of Railway Regu- Tation Reduction of and cight Rates, To Tuw Eviror or Tue Ber,—I am pleased to observe that you do not pasa unnoticed the exhorbitant tolls which the railroads are extorting from tho pro- ducers and consumers of our state. It encourages me also to know that the peo- ple of other counties are protesting againat these, well, for the want of a more appropriate name, 1 will call them “‘robberies.” Your correspondent from Arborville, calls for the anti-monopoly leaders in this crisis. To his appeal I foel warranted in assuring him that the trae anti-monopolists will respond at any and at all times when their efforta can avail anything, 1 said that wo were monopoly-ridden. Why? Because the farmers of this atate are paying at least 40 per cent, more, on an average, for moving a crop of this season than was paid for moving the crop of 1879; becauge the frelgh on lumber to.day from Chicago to Councll Bluffs, 500 miles, is 10c per cwt., and from Council Bluffs to David City, itis 124c Jper cwt; because the rates over the U, P. R. R, for coal from from Omaha to David City is 3 per ton, when 1 know of my own knowledge that coal is transported 300 miles over other roads for $3 per ton. Instead of Chicago betng our market our own cities on our eastern border should be entreport com- mercially, by becoming the granary for our bounteous crops, Omaha, sir, would beour Chicago. lnstead of 12}c per owt. on lumber from the Missourt river to points 100 miles in the interior it should be just half that amount. Instead of 130 per ewt. on corn to the Missourl river from same points it should be G}o per ewt. And every other class of commer- cial merchandise and produce in propor- tion. With your correspondent from Arbor- ville, I say farmers, laborers, business men and professional men, and especially farmers and laboricg men unite; hold meetings; don't meetv and simply reso- lute, bvt go to work and help crystalizs this sentiment of resis ence to this monstrous injuatice which is crushing the very life out of our people. Go to work peaceably but determinedly. I can sesure you and the friends of the people that our citizens are becoming aroused as they have never been bfore. We are organizing in this county. The anti- moncpoly sentiment i stronger here to- day than ever before. We are enlisted for the emancipation of the producers. Lot the word pass along the whole line, “Organize, organize.” If this power of oppression is to be broken, we must unite. And I now move that each school district in thls state send two or more delegates to a convention, to be held in the clty of Lincoln at 7 o'clock p. m., Monday, January b, 1885, Pass the sug- gestion around. What say you, people? Are you ready to act? Methinks I hear a unanimous yes, The anti-monopolists and all men who are for justice and right subsistenco at St Louis, Mo., and Chi. cago, TIl., will forward, through pe channels, to the chief commiesary ¢ sistence of the division, in timo to be re ceived by him not later than ten dage prior to the first of March and September offerch year, tabular atatemonts of the subsistence property (including atation: ery) that will be repaired by them and the oflicers on duty in the subsistence Department, under thoit supervlsion, during the periods ending December 31st and June 30th of cach year respectively On these statements or in thoir lotters of transmital the officers will state to what depots, posts or stations, they desire the supplies to be sent by the purchasing of- ficers, together with such ot infor- mation as will enable tho Commissary- General of Subsistence to detormine the plan and mode of procuring the sup- plies.

Sheriff Melick has been notfied by a man at Firth, named W. R. Dafford, of a confidence game which was played upon the latter gentleman a day or two ago on the train between this place and Firth. That is to say the game was consumated there although its operation extended over the whole distance from Omaha down. While Dafford was in Omaha he fell in with two rather respectable looking men, one of whom said he was a wholesale merchant at Lincoln and the other was a resident of Firth, to which place Dafford was going on business. They changed a bill for him at Omaha, and thus learned that he had money with him, They got on the train when he did at Omaha, as- sisted Mra. Dafford upon_ tho train and were very friendly indeed, As the traln wus about to pull out of Lincoln a man came in and told one of the clever gentlemen that hia goods couldn't go on unless the charges were pord. After belng informed that the charges were $250 the man pulled a check for $800 out of hispocket and said that he had nothing less. The bogus baggegeman turned to Dafford and sug- gested that he might change it, He said he had only a litule, only about §50 and to'd the owner of the check if he would s right in the seat until they got to Yirth and go straight to the bank with him to get the check cashed, he would lot him have the $350. He took itand passing it to the bogus baggageman sat down, The train had started by this time, and just as the two ladies stepped into the door the confidence man made a spring for the door, passing between the ladies The old man, who was suspic- ious from the first, jumped up and cov- ored the retreating figure with a revol- ver, but one of the ladies chanced to step in the way, and he threw the weapon up and removed his finger from the trigger. The swindler jumped from the train and soon got out of sight and wscaped, e ——— Army Orders, HHADQUARTERS DAPARTHINT OF THE PLATTH Ouana, November 29, 1884, } For completing the purpose of the fol- lowing circular, it is hereby directed that requlisitions for a ten (10) months’ supply of subsistence property will be sent by Post Commissaries to the Chief Commiseary of subsistence of the Da- partment on the 10th of Janusry and the 10th of July for the periods respectively, from March 1st, to December 31, and from September lst to June 30th, By order of Brigadier-General How- J.

There aro several unions in Omaha that are paying from twoto three hundred dollars a year for hall rent, making an aggregate of two thou sand or more dollars annually paid out for rent, thatwould, ina few years, build a very respectable hall, which would return a fair per cent, if properly located. Now then, as history and observation teuches the fact that agitation, education and organization are the essential prede- cessors to all substantial movements of whatever character, whether local or general in their results, as they relatively effoct society and state for good or ovil, we propose to agitate this movement, belioving that the present time is & pro- pitous one to agitate euch a movement, a8 it would afford work for many idle mechanics through the winter season, If the enterprise should meet with suc- there by the announcemeat that Kalisch's famous play, ontitled *‘Some Folks Laugh and Somo Weop.’ Among the most noteworthy feutures were the versonation of Brand, the bricklayer, by Mr. Molchin, the Agnes of Miss Spahn and the Mrs, Nucnecke of Mrs Lindermann. Mrs. Puls-Ahl in the role of Carolive also received quite an ovation, and Mr. Puls as Ferdinand was grected with enthusiastic applause. The character of Hahnekamm, the tailor, fell to the lot of Mr. Hohersteln, who réndered the part very satisfactorily. Taken on the whole the performance was 'an eminently creditable one, and was received with great favor by the unusually large audience. The customary terpsichorean exercisos terminated the exercises. o — Tho Denver Gamblera, Omaha within the last five days has been favored with a large immigration of gamblers. These eporting men come chiefly from Denver, Colorado, where the houses have all been closed, This, it is understood, has been done by the order of the marshal of the Colorado capital, and an officer is now stattoned at the door of every house to keep them trom being opened. The effect of this man- date has been to drive this class of men from that city. These men who have lately come here say they are now on their way to New Orleans, where they expect to winter, e THE ROPING OF REDDY, A LIVELY TH IVING DAY AT NORTH LEND Fremont Tribun Oth, North Bend had a sensation on Thanks- giviog day that will not be forgotten soon by a fow of their citizens, and nover bo forgotten by the victim of an awful fright. Mo get at the details it is nocessary._to go back a little, It will be remembered that Jack Winters, alias Reddy, was confined in the jail of Ire- mont for stealing watch from a laborer at the Bend, On a writ of habens corpus, Judge Murcay was obliged o release him and he wont back to the Bend and has since been thero loafing about in the saloons, Since hia reloaso mumerous thefts havo beon committed, among which waa_the stealing of Mrs, Marple's valuable gold watch. The matter of thiovery had become s annoying that some of the citizens concluded to use despera e means, if ncessary, to rid them- solves of the evil. The sensation was ushed in by a bold attempt at highway robbery. A Mr. Inyard was “held up” by three men with revolvers and told to sholl out his lucre, He had more sand than money and producing a rovolver, scattered the goog like chaff = befors the wind. He cawe into town and related what had happened, and then the second and most exciving act of the night's doings occurrad, A number of men masked, and collected near the depot_decoyed by means of three men, the man Ready in their midst, and with the cry, Hang him ! they proceeded to pull him up toa cotton-wood treo near by, and left him thero until ho confessed to the stealing of the loborer’s watch befors mentioned. He was then asked to tell about the stealing of Mrs, Marple's watch but professed utter ignorance about it Again he went onj the limb, but could not be made to tell anything more, 's take bim off to the river and drown him,” said one of the crowd, *“Drown him!” echoed the meb, and away they took him to the bridge, and’ putting a ropo around his neck lowered him to the water. He begged piteously for his life, assorting that he knew nothing of the other watch, and was _finally raised from the water and taken to jail, Yes- t r’ay morning ho said that his partner at Fremont had the first watch, but of the second ho koew nothicg whatever. Ho eaid that there were a dozen in the gang of thieves, buthe knew nothing of th highway robbory or of tho robbing at Chet Morie's, coess in the way of a contract between the respective unions as a ‘“‘Joint Stock Building company,” as one union is not able to undertake and carry forward such & movement or enterprise of itself, a half dozen or less unions could easlly accom- plish such & work in three months or less time, and largely when not otherwise en- gaged on the part of carpenters, brick- layers and plasterers, that would furnish nearly all the labor. Of course the pnr- chase of a lot and building material would require money, and it would have to be borrowed or furnished by some capitallst a8 l?ecnnd party in the building con tract, We will close further suggestions In this movement &t present and hear the criticisms and suggestions of other unions and parties who may feel interested in this enterprise or one similar.

THE ATTEMPTED STEAL OF THE CHICAGO LOCAL DEMOORACY EXPOSED AND THEIR FORCES ROUTED —BRAND ABANDONS THE FIGHT—THE TIMES CUTTIL HEF] TION UPON THE AF- FAIR, Special Telegram to THE BEE. Cnicaco, November 80,—The Times says that at a conference of the leading democratic politicians yesterday atwhich Mayor Harrison and Kudolph Brand among others were pres- ent, it was decided to draw out ef the contest for the seat in the stata semato from the Sixth senatoria] district, in which the republicans allege & majority was given Brand by o num- ber of fraudulent returns from the Second precinct in the Eighteenth ward, that the re- sult was Brand sont a telegrau t his attorney at Springfield to withdraw his mandemus proceedings ngainst the stato canvassivg board. Tho Times uses this lavgusgo: *] The simple knglish of the entire matter is that Brand has_withdrawn from the contest; that Governor Hamilton is at perfect liberty to issue a certificate to whomever he pleases; that he can give it to s Chin man forall the ob- jections the democrats will raise lgnhut it, and that, in shorbl, thejig isun,” The Times adds in regard to Brand’s telegram: “It was a single dispatch, but it meant giving up of the fight in which the ited States senntorsship was involved and the ressons for sending it are interesting. The story which follows this statement shows that some facts in its possession are withheld, Names are not given, but persons aro described g0 that thero is scarcely a chance of mistakiog them, It assorts that the work of falsifying the returns was done in the interest of the leading demo. cratic candidate for Unitod States senator, and that a city official, and one of the well known democrats in the city had guilty knowledge of it; that United States Marshal Jones took means to let theeo men know that evidence had been secured already which put them in great jeopardy; that this cause genuine panic, and that these men who seemn %o have not only disgraccd themselves, but the party to which they Lelong in the very dawn of its power, began to cast frantically about for means to escape the result of their crimes; that various propositions for a om- promise wore made to the United Sttes authorities, by which their names were to be kept in the backgrouad, The United States marshal and district attorney stoutly asserta that no compromise bas been of- focted, and that all offenders, - high and ' low, will be rigorously punished, that in fact confessions of the entire proceedings have alreaay been made to them, Oan the other hand the Times asserts that fel- egrams have been sent General Logan asking him to intercede for mercy with Marshal Jones, and believes the panic stricken delin: quents have even goue o far a8 to undertake to deliver enough democratic votes on the joiut ballot in the stats legislature to re.elect Logan to the United States senate. It also appoars thas the bogus ballots which were found in the ballot box by the United States grand jury were not printed till the night of November 21at, or seventeen days afcer the election, which brings the crime to a point when the returns were in the hauds of the county clerk, The name of the printer, and of the engraver who made a fac simile of the hesd of the republican ticket, hes also been discovered, — CONGRESSIONAL FOREOCASTS] BOMR BPECULATION UFON THE APPROACHING BENSION ‘WasHinGTON, November 30,—It has boen suggested by a number of representatives that congress will take a recess about the middle of the month to give an opportunity for the members to attend the openiog of the New Orleans exp sition, and that during this pro- posed recess, the apprcpriution committeo will consider the appropriation bi Ia so as t> have most of them ready to repirt to the house upon the reassembling of congrees after the holidays, They argue that the usual ount of work prior to avjournment for the holidays will have been accomplished by the 14th inst, because of the unusually esrly as- semblage of congress thin year, The Mexican peosion bill which was debated at length last ses on, 1s the first ‘ unfinwhed bu iness” to be considered, and this cen be reached only by # motion to discuss measures o the spenk- er's table.

The other day a young lady entered a well known store, in front of which she had seen aplacard, on which was printed, “‘Hose repaired and all attachments.” One of the polite clerks stepped up and her what he could do for her. She looked a little flurricd and hesitatingly Inquired: **Do you repair hote and attachments here? 1sawa card to that effect hang- ing in the window."” “We do,” aaid the_clerk, without ap- pearing in the least disconcerted; ‘“have you some you wish ropaired?” *Yee, pir, I—I—have some 1 would like repaired—what are your charges, »ir?” *‘Well, that depends,” said the clerk, “‘on the amount of work to bo done.

To his astonishment he found—not a book of poems, but first, one, two, three, four pairs of—women's hose, then some long straps with some tesl whi t, on which were stamped “Women's Hose Supporters, Pat. Feb, 2, 1870." John held them up—what did it meam—what could Alice be thinking off He noticed that the hose seemed some- what the worse for wear.
