enjoy themselves. The ladies realized
$25.43.
Rev. W. B. Alexander joined Win
Wilson and Maggie Campbell in the ho
ly bonds of matrimony, last evening.
They are both residents of this city.
Mr. Sam Patterson left for Bellevue

up his ball practice as he was armed with
a base ball bat.
Chas Everick was arrested last night
and brought up before Judge Clifford
this morning, to whom he paid a fine of
$2 and cost, amounting in all to $7.20.
for disturbing the peace.
- Wm. Johnson was arranged before
Judge Clifford this morning and fined
$2 and costs for being drunk and dis
orderly. He paid $2.50 and is boarding
out the balance at the Plattsmouth
school of justice.
The democrats and prohibitionists of
Duraud, 111., have bumped their heads
together, and as we learn by a dodger
received from there, they hold joint ral
lies, and furnish music by democratic
and prohibition glee clubs.
The sore-headed democrats can now
be 6cen on each street corner discussing i
their Maine defeat, and looking into the
dim future with a bleary eye. There are
breakers ahead for them and the full rage
of the storm is not yet upon them. They
know not what a day may bring forth.
Messrs. Jas. Antill and Thos. Riddle
left on a hunting expedition this morn
ing. They go to Erickson from here. No
doubt the feathered tribe will suffer and
they will fulfill their promise to some of
their Plattsmouth friends by Bending
home the first car load to their friends in
three days.
The B. fc M. Band of this city turn
ed oat about half an hour before the
Lincln special pulled out this nioiLing
and favored the citizens with a few of
their selections. They accompanied the
excoursionists to Lincoln where they
have been engaged to participate in tc
morrow's exercises. A large trades pro
cession will be held there tomorrow,
which- will be the most prominent fair
day. 7Vi band is gaining a wide repu
tation and we -wJ-.h them still further
eoocess that they may do themselves and
the city proud..
The largest turnout of Masons seen
is this city was witnessed yesterday after
noon at the funeral of their brother,
John W. Shannon. There were about
thirty knights and over eighty members
of the blue lodge in the cortege.
Promptly at S o'clock the corpse was re
moved from his late residence to tin;
church, followed by the B. & M. band.
Masons and a large number of friends.
The church, was filled to its utmost
capacity. Rev. II. B. Burgess conducted
the services and the glee club assisted in
the service by rendering two anthems in
a very affective style.
The Hkkai.p read with curiosity and
amusement the local in Monday's Jour
nal, of this city, in which that paper
publishes a purported interview with
William Edgerton jr., " an employe of
the Water Co.," and upon invitation
called upon Mr. Edgerton this morning
to know what the facts were, having
learned that he had not been absent from
Plattsmouth this summer and that he
was not in the employment of the Water
Co Mr. Edgerton says he has not been
in Indiana or Ohio since last winter and
long prior to the nomination of Mr.
Harrison; that he does not personally
know what the sentiment, in those states.
s on the presidential question and that
.the Journal had no authority, from him,
to publish what it did, as he is not an
adviser on the political outlook. Thus
fades out another prodigious, sensational
Cleveland boom which should have been
submitted to the gifted IJruso ere it died
a bomin in the Journal.
A quiet wedding occurred at the
Episcopal Church last evening about 8
o'clock, the contracting parties being
Mr. W. Crowther, of the office of Mr. D.
Ilawksworth, and Miss L. Gough, who,
a few days ago, arrived from England.
Only a few of the most intimate friends
of the bride and groom were informed
in the matter, but the news leaked out
among some of the uoisy young men
this city is infested with, and a general
good time was had by the crowd for
about five hours until dawn was about
to break. All the old pans and noisy
instruments obtainable were brought in
to service. They found the house con
taining the newly married couple
after considerable trouble, and
were evidently bent on procuring
"the cigars" for their work, but they
took their departure when they thought
no recompense was in store for them. The
residents of Winterstein hill were all
aroused by the racket. The name "nasty
western savages" was attached to the
mob.
Nebraska City News, Aug. 14: Prof.
Strassman, who is at the Morton house,
continues to do a land office business. It
affords the News pleasure to speak a
good word for the professor, for during
his stay in this city he has shown himself
to be a gentleman in every sense of the
word, and conducts his business on a
true priuciple, that of dealing honestly
with all and charging very moderate
prices for his goods. He is a skilled op
tician and fully understands his business.
and we know of several persons who
went to him with the idea that they need
ed glasses, but the professor positively
refused to fit them .for the reason that
they did not need them. He has only to
look at an eye to tell you what ails ii,
and if you need glasses to fit them on.
This is his first visit to Nebraska and as
lie intends traveling over the state the
-Ye ;'.' takes pleasure in heartily com
mending him to the press and people in
gen; ral.
A Rare Plant.
I,.it evening at the residence of Mrs.
M. A.Fegan, on Gold and Seventh streets,
we witnessed something not often seen in
the Horticultural line. It was the double
blooming of a Night Blooming Cereus.
This is the third time the plant has
bloomed and the first time It has blos
somed two flowers at once.
Ir is one of the most beautiful plants
it has ever hem our pleasure to sec. The
nature of the plant is a specius of the
cactus and it only blooms once a year.
The llowers start from the edge of a thin
leaf, and when in fiill bloom are ten
inches in diameter, exhaling a rait) fra
grance. Mrs. Fegan certainly has a
treasure.
The many admirers of the pay car
were nlensed to e-aze unon it aoain ves-
- r t ti
terday and receive their pay for the past
month.
A DARK SECRET.
Suspicious ActioVis Connected
With Botholz's Case.
There is an undercurrent of dark
rumors about the case of one Rotholz,
who was arrested late Sunday night as a
suspicious character. Rotholz was a
meanly clud fellow but on his person
was found $511, and this with his sneak
ing air and evasive answers have made
the police believe that they have captur
ed a most dangerous crook. He is sus
pected of connection with the disappear-
mice ui ouaiies wuunis on oui.iiw-.j- iujjiii,
r ii t 1 1 : o ., :i.4.
and the fact that the, amount of money
on his person was about the same as that
carried by Collins only makes the sus
picions stronger. The police could get
no positive proof of his connection with
the affair, but they still believe that Col
lins has been murdered by some one for
his money and they apprehend that
Rotholz carries the secret of the crime in
his breast. On putting up $475 as secur-
itv. Rotholz was released Mondav to an-
pear for trial at 2.p m. yesterday. At that
hour Bennett, his attorney, appeared in
- 7 '
court.but Rotholz had disappeared. Ben
nett, however, had a note signed by
Rotholz asking the court to turn the $475
over to his attorney. This, of course,
the judge refused to do as there was a
strong suspicion of something wrong
about the transaction. Before
this, Bonnett had approached
Will Ourley, the assistant dis
trict attorney, and offered to spend $100
in helping Gurley politically if that gen
ii i :... i. :M ;n .u;ni. tiw
$475 from the judge. Gurley most flatly
refused the bribe. The police believe
tiiat Rotholz made a full confession of
his crime to Bennett and that the attor
ney managed to get out of him the order
for the money by threats of exposure.
Omaha Bee.
Mrs. Collins and father returned from
Omaha last night. The anxiety which
the dissappearauce of her husband caused
her, has been a severe blow. Defectives
are at work in the matter.
Union.
The weather is fine, business is good
and the town is building up rapidly.
The hotel changed hands today, Mr.
Bristol will run a first class house one
that will be an honor to our town.
Mr. McShane is having the grounds
cleared off and expects to put up a large
hotel. It will be handsomely located on
the hill, and will be quite a resort for
many who wish to retire from the many
cares and enjoy the fresh breezes of the
Weeping Water valley.
Quite a number of our Union people
went to Omaha to the fair and to see the
Seige of Sebastopol. Many more are ex
pected to attend the state fair.
The Baptist church is going up rapidly.
The Presbyterians arc slower as their's
will be a large brick church.
Dr. Wallace's house will soon be ready
for occupation. The Dr. will have a
very handsome home and he and his wife
will know how to enjoy it. I think they
will have to have a house warming, don't
you?
Mr. Christopher Gilchrist, a brother of
Mrs. E. W. Banimy, came in on the morn

He has rented the store recently vacated
by Solomon & Nathan, and will thor
oughly renovate the building, both up

the most extensive stock in the city, and
keep everything m a first-class style. He
leaves this afternoon for Chicago to
make purchases, and he will have his
stote opened up and ready for business

RURAL NOTES.
Pick Ups Here and There
Tit i: MM KK.
The prospects for corn throughout tin
county is very flattering, and will make
a yield above the average for sev ral
years. We found the fanners mostly all
busy making hay, and as the weather has
been exceptionally fine the past two
weeks, the amount of good hay put up
will be large. We have now been in
every township in Cass county and are
agreeably surprised to find so many nice
farms, so well improved and under such
a hiirh sti.te of cultivation. We would
be pleased to make mention of each and
all but found the task to great, and time
to precious to do so.
All over the country there are farms
hat show up with any in the state.
Among some of the g -od farmers in the
vicinity of Nehawka, are Andrew Pitt
man, R. E. Countryman, J. C. Norris,
Hon. S. M. Kirkpatrick, S. B. Hobson, J.
F. Buck, Hon. Lawrence Sheldon, B. W.
Bates, L. G. Griffith, John B. Cotner and
others.
Near Murray, are Thos. Rankin, Rich
ard Johnson, W. E. Dull, Rey. George
Murray, J. P. Morrow, Jas. Root, John
Walker. One of the oldest citizens about
Murray is S. G. Latta, who owns a splen
did farm, and also an interest in tho store
at that place, with W. E. Latta.
Not long since we happened to be at
the substantial place of J. P. Becker,
where we accepted an invitation to din
ner. Mr. Becker has things arranged in
a substantial manner, and has a sunny
fortune in land, now owning in the
neighborhood of 1200 acres.
Martin Propst, seven miles southwest
of Plattsmouth, has one of the finest
homes we have yet visited. His house
and barn are bothjlmilt of stone and will
stand for centuries, in case there are no
cyclones visit them.
Mr. Propst has one
of the best water supplies we have
yet seen; a spendid spring flows from the
side hill and affords water enough to
supply a large pond where he ij raising
fish, mostly carp and reports them as do
ing well.
J. I). Ferguson, south of Louisville
eight miles, knows how to improve a
farm and make things comfortable. We
stayed one night with Mr. F. and now
send the Herald as an appreciation of
our kind treatment. Sou'hofMr F. is
the farm of L. F. Vasbury, a Hkkalp
supporter of long standing.
We passed some fine farms near Ash
land recentlv; among them, W. II Sef
tou, B. Cole, Isreal Worce and others.
One day last week we took dinner
with H. W. Lloyd living south of Union,
and found things in that neighborhood
flourishing. The only trouble is the
scarcity of water, several parties having
gone over 200 feet and failed to strike
the desired liquid.
Below we give a list of new names re
cently added to our long list:
R. E. Jones, A. F. Sturm, II. C. Wil
liams, A. D. Borden, J. Grahat.1, Bank of

The eminent Prof A. Strassman, the
authority and the expert optician from
Berlin, Germany, to save the eyesight and
prevent the evil of the use of spectacles
and eyeglasses carelessly purchased at
random and worn without discretion as
to the approaching danger and to the
failing eyesight and the evil so little un
derstood by practitioneis themselves, will
arrive in Plattsmouth soon.
Prof. Strassman on equalizing all
inequalities of the eyes restores to the un
fortunate spectacle wearer that part of
the organ of sight which in thousands of
cases has been given up by the unfortun
ate as hopeiesi. His ability to judge the
eyesight is marvelous beyound conception
and he will tell you instantly the defects
of your eyes and point out the danger
and apply combination glasses which af
fords instant relict and sive the eyes

you read his numerous testimonials you
will find him to be the higheet and best

The democrats are extending press
ing invitations to their prominent orators
in different parts of the state t. attend
their rally at this city on Thursday, S 'pt.
20. It is expected that if there is any
chance for them to make a showing for
their party they will do so this time.
We wish them more success than they
have had during any previous '"blow
out." This rally will strike one of the
fair days and, it is also rcpoited the re
publicans are making preparations for a
revival during the fair week. If nil
things work together, as all parties
anticipate, considerable enthusiasm
will be the result, and a crowd such as
was never before witnessed here will
visit the citv.
