An Immenso Concourse Accom

Last Resting Place.
Hie Works a Memoriam.
From Tuesday's Iaiiy.
The funeral of the late Dr. R. R. Liv
ingston, who is known far and wide
throughout the state as " The Doctor,"
occurreti u this city yebterduy afternoon.
It was certainly the largest ever held in
this city, and many of the visitors and
citizens here who are popular over
the state, remarked frequently yesterday
that it was the largest ever witnessed in
the state. The procession about spanned
the road from the Episcopal church to
the cemetery and extended more than a
mile. Eyery order of the city was in
attendance in their uniforms, and by .'the
1 count of several spectators, numbered
more than seven hundred in the proces
sion. The vehicles on the road to the
cemetery numbered between seventy-five
and one hundred.
Friends of the deceased were in at
tendance from all parts of the state and
thousands from the surrounding country
were so anxious to pay a last tribute to
the ono who has proved himself a friend
in a thousand ways to them all, walked
to the city.
As the doctor has filled the oflice of
chief surgeon of the B. & M. for many
years, and has ever proved himself effi
cient in that effico, the officials of that
company exhibited due respect by attend
ing, in a body, while work in the shops
here was suspended for the afternoon.
Every store in the city was closed and
nearly eyery business house iu the city
was extensively draped with mourning
and all flags hung at half mast. This
tribute to the dead physician extended to
hundreds of piivate residences.
The remains lay in the parlor of the
doctor's residence, in a cloth-coyered
metalic casket, upon the lid of which
was a silver plate bearing the inscription:
I " JtOBEItT RAMSEY LIVINGSTON '.
; Born August 10. 1827,
: Died September 28. 1888. :
1 "Light rest the ashes above thy :
; noble breast." :
At the head stood a most elaborate
floral tribute. Gates Ajar, forwarded by
R. C. Cushing of Omaha. Above the
gates was a spotless dove with out
stretched wings. At the base was a pil
low of flowers with the words, "At
Rest," in purple immartelles. Another
elaborate tribute was a Maltese
in pink carnations, with the words, "In
HocSigno Vinces, in immortelles. On
the fsce of the cross was a crown with a
Roman cross In yellow roses, ivhile be
neath were the emblems of Faith, Hope
and Charity. This was a tribute from
ex-residents of Plattsmouth who had
moved to Lincoln. Mrs. John Fitzgeralc'
of Lincoln sent a beautiful scroll of tube
roses and white rcse6;the Gei man societies
of this city a floral wreath; Mrs. E. G
Doyey a sickle in heliotrope, Livingston
chapter. No. 10, K. T. Beatrice, a floral
square and compass; the Herrman family
a large floral pillow; the Plattsmouth
commandary a Maltese cross. Mr. L
Moore, an anchor of roses: little
Helen Cox, a cross; Father Kearney,
cross: Miss BurtoD, a cross: Miss Mag
gie O'Keefe, of Omaha, a cross, with
number of boquets from other people.
About 3 o clock, when the procession
formed, the crowd on the streets was im
ntense, and it was almost impossible to
walk along the sidewalks on several
streets. The line marched south on Sixth
street to Main, thence to Third, Vine and
the church of St. Luke, where the funeral
exercises wueFe Held. It afterwards
proceeded west to Sixth, north to Oak,
and thence west to the cemetery.
J. W. Johnson acted as chief marshal.
The first division was iu charge of M. B.
Murphy, It comprised about 100 Knights
Templar, about twenty of whom were
past officers, the latter being ucder the
command of Major Hastings. These
were followed by seventy-live master
masons under the marsbalsbip of V, V,
Leonard.
These were followed by the ministers
n carriage, the hearse, relatives and inti
mate frienda. The second division in
charge of U. J. Strcight: Loyal Legion,

Fellows. Fourth division in charge of
Wm. Neville: Hibernians, Liederkranz,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and 'Firemen, Ancient Order United
Workmen, Fire Department, Mayor and
city council, Plattsmouth Olce Club, and
carriages.
A square was formed aroi.ndth grav
by the Knighta Templar, and within thir
the members of tin Blue lo-lg;. i'uiinc'
another. Th- buri d servic- of tin- l ttr i
was conducted by V. Y. L ru;a;d, and
that of the knight by J. K. Marley, of
Lincoln, and E. K. Long, of Omaha. Th
Loyal Legion dispensed with ritualistic
services, and the Glee club sang the beau
tiful anthem, ' lie's Gone." A buglar
sounded the "taps," and then all was
oyer.
The grave was beautifully decorated.
The walls were hung with pine branches
which effectually concealed the banks of
cold and rigid earth. The- edge of the
grave and for a space of a foot all around
was fringed with sprays ot palm, while
the outer rim was finished with a line of
colored autumn leaves as red as sumac in
its brilliant period. The work was beau
tifully done and was a tribute to the de
ceased by Mr. and Mrs. M. E. O'Brien, of
South Bend, and Mrs. F. E. H i

ation of the doctor's work on the Nebras
ka fish commission, the fisheiks of which
is superintended by Mr. O'Brien. Among
the participants in the funeral were Pres
ident W. L. May, of Fremont, and B. E.
B. Kennedy, of Omaha, associates of Dr.
Livingston, and his survivors in the
Nebraska fish commission.
The services in St. Luke s wfrc con
ducted by Dean Gain' r, of Omaha, who
delivered the funeral discourse, speaking
Li general terms of the qualiik of the
deceased; and Rev. Mr. likhardfon, of
Beatrice, who spoke on Death.
Hon. F. E. White, the doctor's most
intimate friend, managed all proceedings
in the burial of his deceased friend.
An Irish Sentiment.
En. HeijaH):- I have se en in
ill l.-sue
of the Journal that its editor
and pro
prietor accuses Patrick Ford, editor of
the Irish World of being a renegade
and a deserter from the Union army dur
ing the rebellion. Now. as there is no
chance of Patrick Ford ever seeing that
obscure sheet or of getting an opportun
ity to refute its bare assertions, I take it
upon myself, with good and reliable
authorities, to brand the Journal as a
bare fabricator, whose only object is to
turn the Irish vote in this locality from
Harrison and Protection to Cleveland
and Free-trade. The Journal sees that
the Irish World is a powtr in the field
for Harrison and Protection, and that if
the Irish adhere to'its teaching (which I
have no doubt they will) that democracy
and free-trado are doomed to be buried
forever in utter oblivion. English free
trade banished us from the Irish shore
and the same malignant enemy wants to
pursue us with free-trade to this glorious
free republic. Sherman, your lies won't
work. M. O'Dosauuk.

few Eyes
The long felt want in this com
munity for sight-restoring glasses is now
supplied by the successful optician, Prof.
A. Stissman, from Berlin, Germany, for
a short time longer at the Riddle house.
The waste of valuable eyesight can !k
prevented, if not too late, by his correct
mode of equalizing all inequalities of the
injured eyes. In his specialty, it is con
ceded that he is the head of the profes
sion, and many of oqr best citizens, and
physicians haye been successful in ob
taining relief by the use of his glasses:

Consumption Curable.
Since the fact that consumption is both
preventable, and in its cnrlk st state cur
able, it has lost much of its tf.rror. If
the first symptoms are at once reeojr-
nizd. and the proper remedy applied,
very few. if r.ny one, ned die of con-
gurnption, which is really lung-scrofula.
Like many othpr diseases thi formidable
one grows out of impure blood, and this,
in turn, from a diseased liver. Hence,
we have the hacking: coush, the iwins in
chest, the inflamed limes, and ail the
the symptoms of hastening consumption, j
all the result of deprayed blood sml a !
diseased livr-r. The use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will armst oil
