Henry Bock has had put in his furni

Sixth streets, a hydraulic elevator, and it
works like a charm. It is one of the
Thayer patent, and there is but one other

the employ of the Water Co., put in the
machinery. By means of this contrivance
2000 pounds can be elevated from the
basement to the ton story or vice versa,

South Park.
The Porter and Smith tracts immedi
ately adjoining the city on the south and
recently purchased by Messrs J. M. Pat
tcrson, Sam Waugh, J. D. Tutt and R. B.
Windham will be known as "South Park ;"
it being the design of the owners to not
only lay this beautiful addition out in
town lots but also to set apart a five acre
tract for the purpose of a Public Park.
The addition is a beautiful one and
desirable for residence lots, while no bet
ter selection could be made for celebra
tion and picnic grounds than a hve acre
tract in "South Park." It is convenient
to the city and lies between the two prin
cipal thoroughfares Lincoln and Chicago
ayenues.
The Herald is informed that the
tract of land, recently purchased by the
syndicate composed of J. M. Patterson,
Sam Waugh, John D. Tutt and R. B.
Windham, immediately joining the city
on the Soutli is about ready for the mar
ket, being surveyed and platted into town
lots. This tract of land is elegantly sit
uated between Chicago and Lin
Coin Avenues and is only about
eieht blocks south of Platts-
mouth's business center on Main street.
In the center of the plat a five acre tract
has been reserved for a Park which the
proprietors propose to deed to the city
whenever it signifies its intention to
make permanent improvements thereon

Senator Reagan repeats his declara-
tion in fayor of prohibition and against
the policy of identifying the Democratic
party with "the whisky-shops, the drunk-
ards and the criminals." He is evidently
a man of pluck; but he is mistaken if he
thinks it possible to be a prohibitionist
in the political sense of the word and
at the same time refuse to act with those
elements which promote Democratic
power and success. Qlobe Democrat.

times at Castle garden. If the men, wom
en and children now pouring over from
Europe on account of the impoverish
ment of labor on the continent by mili
tary taxes and the troublesome condition
in Ireland are of the idustrial and not of
the criminal classes we have nothing to
fear. The entire human race could sub
sist on this continent, at a pinch, with
twelve acres to each idividual we believe.
Our whole population taken into Texas
would not crowd that state as some parts
of Euiope are crowed today. Let us re
ceive each honest industrious immigrant
with opeu arms of fearless danger, for
from this material is our greatness made.
Bat the laws aganst the importation of
vagabonds and criminals should be most
strictly enforced. These undesirable ele
ments of European society, these speci
mens of humanity run to seed, should be
jealously excluded from the shores of the
United States. They go to swell the for
ces of anarchy and crime in our large cit
ies and we have about as many specimens
on hand now as we can well dispose of
by peacable methods.
Up to this date it has been our pride
that no human being needed a passport
from any official to enable him to come
and go in this free government. It is
possible that the changed conditions of
our intercourse with the rest of the world
may make it necessary to import some
institutions of Europe, and require stran
gers from abroad to bring some sort of
certificate from their homes of their good
character. It may not be entirely amiss
to require a passport from the consul at
the port from which the immigrant sails
showing that the bearer is neither a fugi
tive from criminal laws, an ex-convict or
a suspicious character at home and that
he has means for his immediate support
with him. State Journal.
City Council.
The city council held an extra session
last Friday evening with seven members
present, Alderman Murphy being absent.
The mayor advised the election or a
president of the council, tnd on motion
of Alderman Weckbach, Mr. McCallan
was chosen president.
The license committee made a report
favoring the granting of license to the
saloon-keepers who had filed petitions
j asking for them, provided they pay into
the hands of the city treasurer the re
quired license fee. The report was
adopted and the licenses ordered erranted,
Alderman McCallen reported on the
petition and bond of Will x Warrick

purposes, and reported tavorably on the
same. On motion, the permit was
granted.
The committee on license was granted
further time on the petition of Dr.
Fricke.
Mr. McCallen thought the committee
had no further power than to notify
them to take out license if they wished
to sell liquor for any purpose whatever.
Mr. Weber said he thought the dru
gists ought to be at least honorable
enough to procure from the council the
required permit. Several parties were
required to pay the heavy tax of $1,000
per year for the privilege of carrying on
the sale of liquor in the city, and yet he
knew that some of the drug stores sold
as much or more liquor than any of the
saloons. He said further, that men could
go to drug stores and get liquor to whom
a saloon-keeper, being under bonds,
would not dare to sell, and he thought
it was the duty ot the city omciais to at-

statement was correct, but he thought
tue 8aioon men ought to take the matter
jn thejr own hands. To this Mr. Weber
repijea that the saloon laws were so strict
that a man could not do business and
ve squarely up to them and make
money: therefore, if they attempted to
proscribe the druggists they would more
than likely get themselves into trouble.
The question then came up as to what
the duty of the liquor-selling druggist
was, and the mayor read Sections 24 and
25, druggists' repository, from the stat
utes of Nebraska. The matter was then
dropped, without any action being taken

Editor Herald: This silent old burgh
enjoys the almost exclusive distinction
we believe, of being a town without a
joom, and is consequently one of tho
best towns in the state from which to
emigrate.
We had the pleasure of entertaining
ast week our whilom citizen Dr. F. B.
Reed of Peru. The Dr. and his wife
have recently returned to Peru from San
Diego California, where they spent the
winter with much benefit to the Dr. who
has been in declining health for three or
four years. Mrs. J. S. White has return
ed home from St. Joseph Mo. where she
has been under the treatment of Dr. Bis
hop of that city for several months.
Her friends will learn with pleasure that
she returns improved in health..
Mr. Fred Patterson our P. M. made a
visit to Omaha one day last week and
purchased a very nice selection of spring
goods for his store. Now that Fred en

Miss Ella Smith came down from her
school Saturday to visit with friends and
relatives. That Miss Ella is a successful
teacher is evidenced by the fact that she
is now teaching her third teftu in district
number 29.
As per previous announcement in the
Journal the "Tree Dealer's celebration"
came off Friday night. It was a "social
event" long to be remembered. It was
pandemonium turned loose, for the night
was made hideous by the shrieks and
yells of drunken men and boys who had
too freely patronized the dispensers of
"Beggs Bitters;" but since the sole depos
itary of law and justice was there we
must refrain from further criticism.
It is lamented by some that the anti
gambling law will kill base ball by pro
hibiting betting on the game. We think
base ball ought to be killed if it depends
on gambling for its life, and the sooner
its demise the better; then the Sunday
law should be enforced against it and
atop playing on Sundays.
Our Sunday school was organized last
Sunday, with Mr. James Walstow Supt
and with a very fair attendance. The
hour for school hereafter is 10 o'clock

Editor Herald: We want to hold
up both hands in commendation of the
Nebraska legislature last winter for
passing a compulsory educational law.
We see by an abriged extract of the law
that all parents or guardians must Bend
all children between the ages of eight
and fourteen years to school at least
twelve weeks in each year, or they will
be liable to a fine of from ten to fifty
dollars for each offense. We think, this
is a good law, for there are far too many
people that only do right when the civil
law requires them to do so. And this
law will reach a great many of that kind
who, no doubt, will complain 'at first,
but in after years both they and their
children will be glad of it.
Robert Fitch had a yearling colt badly
cut in a barbed wire fence last Friday.
A Sabbath school was organized last
Sunday. The time of meetinjr is to be
at 10 o'clock.
Our demoralizing base ball club broke
loose again last Sunday by some of the
Plattsmouth players coming down and
playing a game of ball with them in
Mr. Sullivan's meadow. The individual
who could invent some plan to put
stop to this demoralizing game being
played on Sunday would be a public
benefactor. The wicked influence of
Sunday base ball playing is too great
upon the minds of young children and
young men to be countenanced by any
civilized community and especially by
parents who have children that they do
not wish to grow up to be perpetual Sab
bath breakers. This game is about on
par with hunting, fishing, gambling and
horse racing on Sunday, and morally,
one is just as respectable as the other;
for the evil influences and tendency
of the whole of them is to make regular
' bath breakers.
