The Y. M. C. A. will hold their con
ference in this city en Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of next week. Delegates
from Pawnee City, Nebraska City, Weep
ing Water, Omalia, Blair, Auburn, Te
cumseli, Fall City and Rule are expected.
The association would be pleased to hear
from any Christians or sympathizers of
this city who are willing to receive any
of the delegates and allow them the
privilege of billeting them. This will
greatly assist the society and it U hoped
the people will afford it that encourage
ment. Mr. Latham, ticket agent for the B.
& M. h ere, ha3 secured two coaches for
the republican club to convey its mem
bers to Glenwood tonight. He realized
considerable trouble in securing them but
he has at last succeeded and it is hoped
the two coaches will afford accommoda
tion for all who wish to participate in
the rally tonight. About one hundred
and fifty have already signified their in
tention of going and it is expected that
many republicans who are not members
of the club will go and nlso a few demo
crats who will be allowed to &o &nd see
how the republicans do things up jn
grand shape. It is expected that the cars
will be crowded and a more enthusiastic
time than was oyer known before
this vicinity as the result.
in
At a meeting of the republican club
last night considerable interest and en
thusiasm was manifested in the rally
which is to take place at Glenwood to
night, and a subscription was taken up
among the members present for the pur
pose oi securing one nunured tcit-uea '
for the occasion. Mr. Walt Thomas was
appointed as a committee of one to go to
Omaha and secure the lamps. He left
for Omaha this mornicg on the flyer and
returned at 10:30 w ith the required nunv
ber. Before train time this evenin" the
whole company wi?l inarch on Main
street attired in linen dusters and plug
hats. Everybody turn out and see a
graud sight, The Jl, & M. band and G.
A. R. drum corps will head ths proces
sion. The rubbish wheelers who are em
ployed in haul'ng refuse from the can
ning factories have formed a habit ef
late of dumping all such rubbish in the
river just above the B. & M. depot. A
large portion of the filth cau still bo seen
along the shore as the current at that
point is not .strong enough to carry it
away. Some time ago notices were tack
ed up prohibiting any parties from de
positing such stuff there, but they have
a -
iisappetrcd in some way and these par-1
ties are now dumping all kinds of dirt
into the river where it will soon cause a
very disagreeable odor and originate fev
er germs. The authorities 'should look
into this matter and have it stopped be
fore it is too late to reme'dy it. The filth
that in allowed to be deposited on the
different streets and in some places where
people cannot help but inhale the disa
greeable odor from it, is certainly strong
enough to invite yellow fever or cholera
where it would reap a rich harvest.
A lady by the name of Mrs. Badgely
who was employed in the Plattsmouth
canning factory, met witn a very painful
accident this morning. At one side of
the factory a long table reaches to each
e'ld of the building which is used for
holding the corn as it is received at the
factory. Along side of thisis a narrow box
in which an endless chain runs the whole
leigth. The women who are employed
in husking stand by the side of this box
and throw tli3 husks into it as they are
taken from the corn, and they are carried
out of the building on the chain. This
morning while Mrs. Badgely was engaged
at this work, she dropped her husking
stick into the box and tried to reach it.
Her hand was caught in the chain and
drawn along until it came in contact
with a cross piece which was nailed to
the top of the box. She could not pull
her hand from the chain and when her
arm came in contact with the cross-bar,
it brake immediately above the wrist.
; Her arm was badiy bruised as well as
broken. She was taken to I?" Liying-
ston s office where Dr. R. R. Livingston,
jr., attended to the injury.
Mr. C. R. Simmons on the West.
Mr. C. R. Simmon, a former employe
of Kccfer's harness shop here, who left
the city about three months ago for Wy
oming Territory, returned a couple of
days ago. If we are to accept his advice,
Horace Greely's advice of a few years
ago cannot be justified, as his experiences
during hid western trip were not the most
frvorable. Since his departure he has
been at Ogden, Salt Lake City and other
principal cities of the west, but not west
Salt Lake. His brightest anticipations
which were entertained should he con
tinue his journey to Wyoming territory
were dashed to the ground when he
' learned that men were returning from
there in no small numbers and that all
their reports of the situation at that place
were most unfavorable. The general re
port from tiiera ;vas that there were about
ten men in Wyoming territory waiting
on one position. It was a good enough
country and they all would like it if
there could possibly be a chance for a
situation of any kiud. Young men who
have gone west to grow up with the
country, think that the encouragement
they receive there stints rather than
nourishes growth; and the majority of
them who were unfortunate enough to
have money only for a single trip, do not
think the west is the most desirable part
of the country to be without friends or
money and without a siiuatjop and think
that their chances are better in the east
it wages are lower. The many young
men who are leaving good situations in
the east and continually going west
with only a single trip ticket in their
pockets, are almost invariably clisap
pointetl and are nearly always left in a
bad situation w ith no chance for a return
trip and equally as poor a one for even
making a living. Mr. S. says that Chey
enne, during his stay there, was as drill
on business days as he has ever known
Plattsmouth to be on Sunday, and that
business niei there at present have little
encouragement. A3 Cheyenne ispneof
the western towns which has been boast
ed of considerable iu the past, it can
be given as an illustration of the titua
tion in that locality at present. He says
that Plattsmouth, ps dull as it is at pres
ent, can faypyeAAy be compared with any
western tow n of its si sometimes
larger ones. Mechanics of other trade,
might find more encouragement than
harness makers, but as near as we can
remeiiibe Mr, Simmons could not speak
a word in favor of the grea wet, the
land where the many diVfeatisfied eastern
people journey expecting to find a Canaan
where they can get rich in a day. The
young men of the east who receive $10,
and $ lo per week and consider it
fair pv. can and generally do have more
money at the esil cf fhe year than the
young men out west " who ;e-eiTe
sometimes $18 to $25 per week.
Tourists from here who go south speak
favorably of the looks of things in that
direction cs the young wen seeking em
ployment generally go west. Platts
mouth, although it is seldom spoken
favorably of by young men who are liv
ing here, is far in advance of many places
of its size and that report is often given
by ihe young fellows who leave here be
cause they believe ihelr wages here are
much smaller than they would receive
other places.

are down with the fever, are repeJu.-d
improving today.
The Sioux Falls granito which is to

Mr. John Lupt, an aged farmer who
lived with his son, Jake Lupt, about six
miles northwest of the city, tlied last
Sunday and was buried today. He has
been sick since the first of last May and
has been disabled since. He was nearly
72 years of age.
A republican yesterday got into a
little scrap because he would not bet on
Harrison. II; hit his man and the Judge
fined him $5 and costs, amounting to
$10.05. Moral He lost his money; had
he bet he would have got good safe re
turns after the election.
Clarance Forbs, the boy who came
near losing a good portion of his ear by
being run over a short time ago, and was
fortunate enough to still retain it by the
assistance of Dr. Schildknecht, who
promptly sewed it on when nearly sever
ed from his head, put in an appearance
on the streets this morning apparently in
a first-class condition. He also received
other injuries ibout his head and body,
which still remind him. of the accident
occasionally,
Miss May Cross, of Hillesdale, Iowa.
who is visiting :vitkthe fan,I1y f Eli
Sampson, west of the city, met w,t a
very painful accident last eyening. She
accompanied her friends to the city in
the afternoon, and after they were about
ready to return home, the horses and
kuggy were brought out from a shed be
tween the American Exchange and the
B. & M. track, and when all were seated
and as they were driving out to the road
the buggy run against.the bank, throwing
Miss Cross to the ground. Her elress
was caught on the seat in her fall and
she pulled it after her, which struck her
a sever blow on the right hip. The in
jury although not dangerous, was quite se
vere, and she wijl be confined to her room
for some time on account of it. Dr. R.
R. Livingston, jr., attended to her injuries.
Mr. Porter Foster, a sw itchman iu the
yards, while in the act of coupling some
cars last night, heard some strange voices
in the vicinity and for some time could
not ascertain from w hat source the sountl
came until he unlocked a box car which
was partially filled with lumber and dis
covered three boys, about twelve years
of age. Two of the boys were white and
one was a little colored fellow who
showed signs of tight when he was com
pelled to leave the car. One of them
was provided with a boot-black outfit
and the other two had no particular pro
fession, but it is supposed they were all
shiners. The boys said they had come
from Council Bluffs and were on their
way to St. Joe. They had been in the
car for more than a day without any pro
visions, and as the car was sealed, if Mr.
Foster had not hearel their noise when he
did, in all probability they would not
have been discovered until too late.
From Saturday's Daily.
Hail stones rained supreme fast night
The elements were on a strike last
night, judging by the force stones were
thrown at us.
Mr. C. G. Fitzgerald and Miss Hattie
II. Hall, were united in marriage last
evening by Judge Russell.
The hail stones which fell last night
were ap large as the largest walnuts. It
is thought the sj.0rm must have done con
siderable damage to' the corn crop.
The switchmen working in the yards
last night thought they were in for it
again when the hail stones started to drop.
it is reported they pulled their guns.
The iceman's trade will be limited
today a ce cr two of the hail stones
picked up last night can be iaue to last
as long as the chunks of ice generally
broken off for the customers.

when asked what regiment he had beei
a member of he would open it and point

that the woolen factory of Pasaic, New

made out of whole cloth all wool and a

and the Cobden club syndicate asked to
furnish proof. The reason the Journal

Tin-; Journal m in struck a bonanza
last evening in tne letter written by the
MassachusettSjinan Lyman, w ho has recent
ly been getting himself into print over an
interview which is not published, 'i i;o
letter of this thread man is a clear mvo
away on his intelligence. When a man
ays the present duties on wool were not
imposed on any theory of protection or
of any public interest, except the neces
sity of raiding money to pay the evpe.i ;cj
of the war, he writes himself down ' a,
ignoramus on the subject at once and has
either, never examined the question or
thinks his correspondent at this place is
wofully ignorant. The tariff "discussion
in congress during the past twenty-seven
years, from the date of the intoduction of
the Morrill bill down to the present time,
and especially in 1S83, show that Arthur
T. Lyman is criminally jgno-ant of bn
subject or very wilfully dishonest; cifHY
horn of the dilemma is bud enough. That
protection has to do with wages in this
country, intelligent free traders -admit
and for the thread man to assert that
it doc-3 not is a very trilling matter. Ad
mitting that "free trade would break
down some branches of manufacturing!.'
is to write himself down an ass, when
he asserts that protection has nothhi" to
do with waes. To assert that fr,.
wool will not injure the native produc
tion is worth just as much as his own as
sertion that protection does not effect
wages; although to do away with if,
would break down manufacturing in this
country and consequently destroy the.
home markets. We think the thread
man's letter "explains itself."
It would be a joft snap for the Or..a!;i
polticians to get J. Sterling Morton oi'
