OPENED WITH A REPLEVIN. Grocers Begin Their Test Oase Against the Union Pacific For Overcharges. A SELF-GLORIFYING OFFICER. How Lincoln’s Mayor Had the Journal Paff Him Up—The Mtate Fair and County Premiums— Lincoln News, [FROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] Yesterdny Deputy Sheriff Fowler turned over to Raymond Bros. and H. P. Law, wholesale grocers, the cargoes of sugar replevined by them from the Union Pacific company, which refused to accept the rate of transportation tend- ered by the firms. Euch of these firms had 875 barrels of sugar that they repley- ned and it took a bond in the neat sum of $27,000 to get the goods, ‘I'his is the test care, as predicted by the Bk to come, and it is now fairly in the courts where it will be closely watched by more than local interests. STARTLING TESTIMONY. Under this heading the State Journal yesterday gave a column space for the hypocritical mayor of the eity to air him- self and his spleen through a back office speech made by the mayor in the gamb- ling case. The city attorney was trying the case for the city, the replevin case covering the gambling fixtures, and the case was being tried before a jury. The mayor, after the prosecution had made o speech, addressed the jury himself, although he was not an attorney in the case and had not heard the evidence. Among attorneys & smile goes round at_the anxiety of the reform mayor to exhibit himself, but Colonel i*hilpot, who was the opposing cousel, offered’ no objection, and the mayor made his speech, which he revised until late 1n the night and had published to bis own individual glory in the State Journal, which took great care not to publish any part of the testimony on the other side, or the reply that Colonel Philpot made to the bashfui mayor. This reply, from those present who “heard i is described as simply t V Colonel Philpot has as” vulnerab) ject a8 a man of the calibre of the mayor, he dissects right and left like a professor in a medical college. The colonel de- picted the policy of the mayor in his acts of relf-glorification. He reviewed the mayor's double act on_ the Sunday or- dinances, when he proclaimed and’ left the city until the storm blew over and the council kelped him out with re ordinances. The colonel called the a hypocrite and even harder names, and cited proof to sustain his assertions. All this part of the trial was carefully eliminated in the report published in_the only alleged newspaper in the city. It is a dawning and growing suspicion among a good many people that this entire ex- hibition is but a well planned scheme of the mayor to advertise himself as a re- former, and a great many people who know the man and his record know thav such a course would be very natural. One fact that would lead one to think that the mayor was searching for glory was that the raid over which the present suits in replevin grew was made on the night of June 80, just prior one day to the time when the law making gambling n felony came into effect, and which is a law that will enforce itself. Under the old law a long fight in public courts was certain to_follow and it all gave the mayor a chance to poise for the Tast time on the gambling question, What the re- sults of the case may be is yet un- known. The juryin this case disagreed, slnmlinf three to three yesterday when discharged, and in the afternoon another case over the same matter was up in county court. The law and the ev- idencein the cases obtainable will be doubtless sufficient to reach a verdict one way or the other, and it is just as well to Kive the news and facts on both sides. COUNTY PREMIUMS, Secretary Furnas, of the state board of agriculture, has issued a special circular calling attention to the premiums offered by the state board to counties for county displays at the coming state fair. This in years past has been ono of the most successful competitions and many coun- ties have participated. Secretary Furnas is of the opinion that the number of counties competing this year will be much larger than heretofore. The pre- miums are for best exhibits of agricul. tural products in the name ot county so- cieties, and are: FKirst premium, $250; second premium, $200; third premium, $150; fourth premium, $100; fifth pre- mium, $50. AUCTION SALE JULY 14, The reason for Kearney's racent ad- vancement becomes apparent to anyone who visits Kearney and witnesses the grand water power there which has recently been completed of over one thousand cubiec feet of water per second flowing over the waste away at lake Kearney. The public sale at auctien of Riverview addition which takes place there on the 14th instant is the first of the kind there; the property is inside the city limits and on the street ear line ; from every lot can be seen the beautifu! city and from fifteen to thirty miles of the wonderful Platte valley “with the river, like a ribbon of silver in the dis- tance, making a picturesque view from every point of the entire plat of Riverside. That many gnople lost fortunes by not investing at Minneapolis when its great water power was discovered is well known and that Kearney has a water power almost if not equal to that of Minneapolis can not be denied that the opportunity to invest cheaply will not continue any great langth of time, judg- ing from the rapid rise and transter of property in this growing city as every one who visits Kearney appreciates the water power and its other natural advantages. Riverview lies on the bluffs in the north part of the city within three minutes drive from the post- oftice, with some handsome residences adjoining, and will be sold in blocks or single lots to suit purchasers. All resi- denta of the state purchasing $100 worth of lots in this addition will be refunded their railroad fare to be deducted from their first payment. On Wednesday avnulnf. July 18, car- riages will convey all who desire to to Lake Kearney, where the steam yacht and other boats will be in readiness for a ride around the lakes, all without any charge to the participant. On the follow- ing morning carriages will take the erowd to Riverview, the sale beginning at 10 o'clock. A choice free lunch will be provided on the groundsso that noune need go thirsty or hungry. Terms of sale, one-fourth cash, bal- ance one, two and three years. Come prepared to secure a choice looation the coming munufur(uril:f center of the stute.

An Incident of tho Attorney-General's Scjourn at Hominy Hill, While Attorney-General Garland was sitting under a tree in his Hommy Hill retreat, says the Arkansaw Traveler, an old fellow, followed bY #1x or eight dogs, came along, stopped, looked searchingly at Mr. Garland, seated himself on a log, ped a brindled cur and said: 've been eround here several times, but th the fust time that I've cotched you at home,” “Yes, I don't stay herc much of the time." “Don’t try Lo raise a crap, it seems?’’ o id you ever try?" 0.7 “Dou sycm reckon this old dirt would sprout a blackeyeyed pea?” “‘Not1f the eye were two black." “Ef you wuz to ta way the crickets do you believe a woodpecker could make his living on in®" *Don’t believe he could.” “I reckon you stay here till you get hun{!ry and then go 'way.” “Yor,” “Is that yore cow that's down and kain’t git up over yander?" “I havn't any cow.” *“‘She’s somebody’s. 1 reckon she got on yore place and fell away so fast that she kain’t git off no mo’.

Cincinnati Enquirer: One of the most noted characters of Cineinnati, the “'steeple climber,” died Thursday night at his home, 7 Bank street. His name was Joseph Rodriguez Weston, and for nearly thirty years he has been climbing steeples in this city. No point was too high and dizzy for him to reach and maintain his steady foothold, Of late years he would undertake only those dif- ficult feats that appalled others. It was his ll]’“"o"“b“’ boast that he could go as high or higher than any other man. ‘Chere are many stories of "his hazardous exploits in this city. The most notable, probnbl{ was the draping of the cathe- dral spire on the night following Arch- bishop Purcell’s death. On the ground below were 3,000 or 4,000 people eagerly watching for a glance at the dm‘mfi man as the lightning flashes revealed him on the dizzy height. Weston, when only 12 years of age, had placed the tip on the same steeple. Another feat that was greatly talked about at tie time was on the might of July 8, 1876. Weston climbed the spire of the I’rosbfmnun church on Fourth street, the tallest in the city, and nailed fast the stars and stripes, 285 feot from the ground. It was on this occasion that hehad a narrow escape. Weston had obtained from Michle, the jeweler, a heavy gold chain, the like of which were solid. His chain, when he was falling, held him for a briet moment, during which the climber succeeded in regain- ing his hola. Aneother time, when Wes- ton was removing the timbers from the steeple of St. Xuvier, which had been burned, he was struck by & falling rock on the head and slightly hurt. Weston had a horror of xu'mq neath the sur- face of the earth, and would never de- cend 1nto a cellar or cistern. Weston's father was named Rodriguez, a Spaniard, who died soon after his son's birth. His widow afterward married a man pamed Weston, which name the boy adopted. Young 'Weston's stepfatner taught him to climb at early ago, and us he advanced in years his many ditficult performanees gave him a wide- spread reputation. He was 41 years of age when he died. His son, now only 12 years old, already bids fairto equal his father in nerial explots. - Buffalo Bill's Wife. ‘Washington Special to the New York World: While Buffale Bill has beon as- sociating with erowned headsin London, a few residents of this city, who knew the pretty girl of Capitol Hill who mar- ried Colonel Whimll of Kentucky, was lelt a young widow by hisdeath, WwAas married to Mr. C\)“V. have recalled this episode in the dashing frontiersman’s ca reer. After the death of Colonel Whitcly his handsome widow got employment in the treasury department. Cody hecame acquainted with ner in Washington and the marriage was celebruted with con- siderable pomp in Denver. She was sup- posed to be living happily until rumors reached here of a suit for divorce. Since the divorce no one in Washingtra who knew Mrs. Cody has ever heard from her. - Chasing a Bear. Albany (Ga.) News: There was con- siderable excitement in our couull‘y on last Friday, caused by the chase and cap- ture of a [arge grizzly bear. He was first scen in this county on Flint river. He made his way scross the Baker county side of the riyor, where he was chased until sunset on Friday an 1 lost. He was agmiu seen in this county, und chased from plantation to plantation by excited white folks, negroes and dogs until about 2 o'clock, when he was captured, killing him, of course. Gunus, pistols, axes, hoes, gm&km, etc., were brought to beur in the plantation of . K. Butler, near his place. He was about seven feet long, aud woighed from 800 to 500 pounds, \Wheuce be came, whether he escaped from some menagerie, or merely lost or strayed from his usual roamiang field, near or at a distance, 18 not known.

Intricate Operation For Preventing Lockjaw. Chicago Inter-Ocean: Jchn Kellher, a foreman in the employ of Crane Bros.. ran a rusty nail into his foot about an inch back from his blfi toe, on May 20 He washed the wound out with cold watar, tied a piece of cotton ouer it, and in a day the foot was comparatively well again, the mail having just punctured the skin. Yesterday morning he com- plained of a sore throat. When the physi- cian whom he had called upon to consult asked him to open his mouth it was discovered that his jaws refused to perform their functions. Dr. J. B. Murphy was called in and at once pro- nounced the malady a typical form of traumatic lockjaw. The man was re- moved to his home, No. 54 Wright street. An hour later the tetanie grin set in, and it became apparent that extreme meas- ures had to be resorted to. A consulta- tion between Drs. Murphv, Hartman and Satler resulted 1n the operation below described: Mr. Kelleher was put under the influence of ether. The sponge had barely been applied to the sufferer’s nos- trils when the initial tetanie convulsions displayed itself. He jumped from the operating slab, and made a mad rush for the window. His jaws were set, his oycs protrnded, and he fought with” a jrenzied strength which the combined efforts of four men could hardly overcome. Again he was given the anmsthetic, this time with better effect. The lauce was then taken in hand, and an incision 4 inches long and 3inches deep was made aninch and a half behind the hip bone. The sciatic nerver, which lies to the rear of the ball. and-socket joint, was then exposed. Here a strong metallic sound was passed be- neath the nerve, and it was stretohed downward from the spinal cord with a pressure of 175 _pounds. The h was then dressed with lodotorm and antisep- tics and sewed up. An incision 8 inches long was mext made in the groin, the knife cutting downward pastthe femoral artery until the erural nerve was ex- posed. Here the sound was again used, and the nerve drawn downward from the spinal cord with @ pressure of fifty pounds, ‘This idea of treatment for lockjaw is a new ome, and was lirst successfully at- temapted in the Furopean medical col- lcfgo_.v about six months ago, and the case of Kelleher is wrobably tho first effort in tho west. 1t was the left foot which was injured. ‘The two ncrves treated are those supplying locomotion and sensation from the nervoe center to the seat of the wound. The stretching was done to de- stroy the nerve current which conducted | the sensations frofn the scar in the left foot produced by 'the nail to the base of the brain, also !t prevent the conve ance of the irritaton from the pywiic foot to the brain. —_—— A Westérn' City Council, Boston Advertiser: The decision of the state supreme court of lowa in the Des Moines street railway case hay n[mnml the eyes of, many citizens of Des Moines to the extent of the powers vested in city councils. They knewin a general way before that the council governed the city, but they did not realize how far- reaching and_despotic its ordinances might be. The lowa State Register states the case with evident feeling, but there is no reason to believe that it warps the facts. The details of the case arc of slight concern to other ecities, but the conelu- sions fairly drawn from it are of interest toall. The Register declares that the supreme court's decision reaflirms and makes more absolute the theory that the council is the city, and not only for the time 1 which its members hold their terms of oflice, but for thirty or fifty years if it chooses to so extend its power over the future. Un- der the ruling of the Iowa court a council once elected can bargain away absolutely the streets and alleys of acity for thirty years, or twenty-eight years beyond its own time, and make the public thoroughfares private property for the exclusive use of a priayate corpora- tion. Under it & majority of that council, whether influenced by proper motives or otherwire, can thus fetter a city and check its growth, as has been done with Des Moines now, and in no small degree, without the people of the city having ab- solutely any redress, In the heh."ht of its indignation at the subjection of the eity, the Register unrea- sonably finds fault with the judges for their interpretation of the iaw in the case. It forgets that the supreme beneh is not responsible for the existing powers of the council, but the lawmakers, who should have limited them. Itis absurd, therefore, to cavil, as it does, at the ac tion of the court for “‘using its great and final power to help fasten this theory of a city council’s powers upon lowa." The court could rightly admit no other consideration than the” voice of the law to control their decision. But while we take issuo with this course of the Register, we think that its movement to limit the power of the city councils of Towa is in ihe right directiony It is a dangerous thing, as the Register 81 to let a body of men whose term is for two years, make contracts in the name of the city for thirty or fifty vears, and dispose of city franchises with abso- lute power' In the east the powers of municipal governments have been clipped and fenced in for evident and urgent rea- sons, and, like reforms in the west, are now in order. We believe fully in local self-gavernment, but proper checks and balances will guard againgt abuses of the large powers nccessarily confided. o ssoga i FAMILIAR “AMERICANISMS." An English Observer Points Out Dif- ferencea in. the Common 'Language, Probably the most Irmguam question which is put to’ an” Englishman visiting these shores fof'thé first time, after hav- ing grappled with (the poser, is: “What do you think of America®” ‘Do you find much difference in the dialeots of the two countries?” That there is a dif- ference nobody will deny; but among the refined classes’'in New York, apart from certain: local _expressions, it is far less notipeable than would have been expected. The first thing that would strike a Londoner is probably the lazy, familiar “Ye-ah'’ by which you are wnswered on alf sides by persons from whom, 1 _kngland, you would expect *Yes, sir;”” while !‘See here’ 18 also pe- culiarly American. If the person vou are addressing does not catch your re- mark, he will startle you with *‘W hat that?” “What is it?”’ or ‘“tlow?"” when in England he is accustomed to *“‘What?'’ “Eh?" or “Beg pardon?” under similar circumstances. There is no exact corresponding ex- pression in Englmll for ‘‘to get left” and ‘to et there,” the nearest approach being *‘to be in the cart” and to pull through.” The English never uso the words *pre- vious” or “fresh” (impudent)* “rare meat” (undordone), “‘fleshy”’ (stout), *'dis- patch’’ (telegram), “full” (tipsy), ‘*home« v" (plain, addressed to versons). An merican child will call her parents mam-a and pappn, and will cause a shout of laughter or a shocked look when she spesks of ‘‘bugs" for srdinary insects, this term being exclusively reserved in England for the “‘bed” species. It is hardly nec- essary to allude to the use of the word “guess” (Anglice, I fancy,” or “I think"), as from time immemorial an Englishman thinks he has only got to say “T guess” and talk through "his aose to imagine he is talking ‘“‘real good Yan- kee.” ‘‘Dudo” 18 unknown in England, and no one there would know what was meant by a ‘‘dry goods store” (linen- draper’s). Londoners have nothing grander than “house-porter’’ to correspond to ‘“‘jani- tor,” and would possibly be puzzled to know what was meant by ‘‘a high-stoo house,” or an ‘‘English basement house,” They would also ask for the “lift” in place of the ‘“elevator,” and would think it strange not to have to go up one flight to the “first”’ floor, as in England they are accustomed to call this latter the” “‘ground floor.”” Such llmgy ex- pressions as ‘‘You make me_tired,” ‘“T blow you off,”” “I feel a kinder good,” “I have had a real elegant time,”" are characteristically American, If you ask an American totake adrink, he wnll reply, ‘I should smile,”” the menaning of which is obvious, and he may possibly offer to give you *‘points™ (tips) on scme eoming race. The word **boss” takes the place of our “‘zovernor," excent when a a London street Arab means to be particularly polite and to gain your cus- tom for a box of lights, etc., when noth- ing under a ‘‘capt’'n” or ‘my lord” is good enough, The Americans pride themselves on speakinyg very correctly, and certainly it is only very rarely that ono hears an ‘b dropped or put in the wrong place; but, on the other hand, one eonstantly hears *Was you theret” and the use of the word “‘everywheres'' in ita plural form. On this side they speak of “mail- ing” for posting a letter, and take the ‘stage” for the depot in place of th ‘omnibus” (bus) or trains to the station or terminus. The word “candy’’ in. America seems to cover all kinds of “sweatmeats, which are gen- erally called “‘sweets” BF the crowd and ‘‘'sugar-plums” by the select in England, There is alsoa éorrttption of the good old Scetch word ‘Moffee,” used generally here, viz.,“‘taffee,” and it sounds comieal to English ears to ask for a piece of apple-pie in pl tart, pie being onl; l\l\h}!d when ‘;x:k?{w of mau‘—fi.
