L. II. Young, of Eight Mile Groye,
one ot Cass county's best farmers, made
the Herald a pleasant call this morning
and purchased one of our Webster's un

will be happy for twelve months more.
City engineer Hilton was raising a
commotion in the first ward today as he
took levels on Fourth street to find how
much dirt was required to bring it to
grade The commotion was caused by
'the cavalry commands he was giving at
the top of his voice to make his assist-,
ant, Frank Morrison, hear what was
wanted.
Theodore Boediker, who was declared
insane yesterday, will be removed to the
hospital at Lincoln, as soon as a permit
can be received. Mr. Bodiker is one of
Cass county's old citizens,' and his many
friends will be sorry indeed, to learn of
his sad condition; we trust that with
careful treatment at the hospital he may
be cured.
It comes with nice grace for a pro
fessional bilk. like the
editor of the Journal to question the in
tegrity of purpose aud honesty of action
of other people. The farmers who se
lected Mr. Polk to preside at their con
vention, have known him for nearly 20
years, which ia a sufficient answer to the
contemptible flings of a sickly content
porary.
The ice cream sociable given at the
Tabernacle Monday evening by the

profitable affair. Ice cretni and cake
were served at 10 cents a dish and about
$15 thus secured. The boys mission

they sold peanut, popcorn, candy etc.,
clearing a handsome little sum. The
usual feeling of sociability prevailed
. and ft good time was had by everyone.
The School Board.
A full meeting of the school board
was held last evening at the office of
District Clerk Showalter for the purpose
of electing a superintendent of the city
schools. Mr. Hancock, of 111., Mr.
Wild,. of Stuart, la., Hornberger, of Fre
mont, Skinner, of Crete, and several
others were applicants; out of this num
ber the board very wisely elected Mr.
Skinner, an old and wellknown educator
thut will doubtless hold the schools up
to their present high standard. Mr.
Skinner will follow one of the best edu
cators in the state in the person of Prof.
Drummond and will have a more difficult
task than if he were succeeding an in
competent man. The Herald bespeaks
for Mr. Skinner a cordial reception at the
hands of our people. The board will
convene again tomorrow eyening to elect
twelve teachers."

The Convention.
Last eyening was held at Lincoln a
convention, or conference, that will be,
and is of vast importance to the republi
can party from a political standpoint,
and to every producer and shipper in the
state. The incessant agitation for lower
freight rates that has been growing in
volume each year has reached that point
where the demands of the farmer must
not only be heard, but relief must be
granted. The agitation every day is
magnified in the east by the press until
Nebreskans are looked upon as species of
anarchists ready to tear up the railroads
and destroy foreign investments by abso
lute force; capital is driven out of the
country and great harm is done to eyery
branch of business. The professional
agitator and fault finder is an enemy to
every public interest. While no reason
able man could ask for an Iova rate,
yet a fair reduction could be made that
would silence the clamor, and would
bring prosperity to the people as well as
the railways.
Plattsmouth Farmers.
The delegation to Lincoln yesterday
morning was largely composed of repre
sentative farmers. Farmer Mike Murphy
one of the best informed grangers in the
county, entertained the crowd with
statements of the best manner to dispose
of injurious insects; for turnip curculio
Mike says he has used epsom salts with
wonderful success, for chinch bugs on
the peach he fayors the old german rem
edy of shaking down the bugs and
sprinkling sawdust over them and then
mashing the bugs with his heels. Mike
refused to talk politics, though it was
well understood that he had sinister de
signs on some important office.
Dave Campbell came rushing breath
less to the depot with a beautiful nose
gay of red clover blossoms and dande
lions; he had lingered too long in his
potato field and came near missing the
train.
Farmer Palmer, with the odor of the
stable still lingering about him, was
looking a little seedy. He claimed he
didn't have time to change, his field
clothes and make the train, though the
boys seemed to think he was wearing his
farmer garb for the effect it might have
on the Hon. Edward Rosewater, of the
Omaha Bue. Cap absolutely refused to
say anything about politics.
Farmer Salisbury was in good form,
his well known success as a root farmer
was admitted by all parties to be in ac
cordance with the best and latest meth
ods. Farmer John Backer carefully dis
guised in a plug hit was full of remin
iscenses. His successful career in general
farming, with a little p litics on the
side made him an interesting talker;
John said he had just shelled a fine crop
of egg for the Chicago market, and was
negotiating for a new patent post hole
that promised to revolutionize the fence
business. He was very enthusiastic
about a new dwarf pumpkin which, re
quired no ladder in gathering and har
vesting, that had been introduced by his
nncle from illinois; he claimed there
was millions in it for the tax ridden
farmers, as the trees came into bearing
at an early aso ..id were very prolific.
A. good report may be expected from
the Plattsmouth delegation.

How Women Should Sit.
Women who sit with their legs crossed
to sew or to read, or to hold the baby,
are not aware they are inviting serious
physical ailments; but it is true neverthe
less, When a man crosses his legs h
places the ankle of one limb across the
the knee of the other, and rests it lightly
there. A woman, more modest and re
stricted in he r movements, rests the entire
weight of one limb on the upper part of
the other, and this pressure upon the sen
sitive nerves and cords, if indulged in
for continued lengths of time, as is often
done by ladies who sew or embroider,
will produce disease. Sciatica, neuralgia
and other serious troubles frequently re
sult from this simple cause. The muscles
in the upper portion of a woman's legs
are extremely sensative, and much of hr
whole physical structure can become de
ranged if. they are overtaxed in the man
ner referred to. Ladie's Home Journal.

LITERARY NOTES.
Charles Dudly Warner, in his essay be
ginning the "Editor's Study" of Har
per's Magazine for June, will ask some
pertinent questions on the great ' power
of commonplace.
A portrait of Alphonse Daudet, drawn
by J. W. Alexander, will form the fron
tispiece of the Jane number of Harpers's
Magazine, which is to contain the first
installment of the distinguished author's
"largely, hugely laughable" new novel,
"Port Tarascon."
The Rev. Herbert D. Ward making a
"Plea for short Novels" in the Boston
Traveler said recently, "A taste educated
by such a master as Guy de Maupassent
will teach us what we want." Many
critics have already called attention to
the value of de Maupassant's tales in
the Old Number considered as lessons in
the art of short story writing.
Richard Mansfield will centribute to
the number of Harper's Weekly to be
published May 21st the story of the
preparation for his production of Rich
ard IIL The article will be accompan
ied with an illustration of the actor as
seen in the last act of the play during
the combat with Richmond. The illus
tration is the vigorous work of Frederic
Remington.
Julian Ralph did not have an Amer
ican city in mind when he wrote the ar
ticle on the "Best Governed City in the
World" for the June number of Harper's
Magazine. The article relates to Bir
mingham, England: and Mr. Ralph's ex
planations of its municipal polity seem
to justify the title. The illustrations,
including a portrait of Joseph Chamber
lain, arc drawn by J. W. Alexander and
Charles Graham.
Guesswork has always had a great
deal to do with the art of hitting an
enemy at sea, simply because there haa
been no trustworthy means of determin
ing the distance of the hostile ship.
This missing factor in the most im
portant problem of naval warefare has
now, however, been supplied by an
American. Lieut. Bradley A. Fiske of
ourna vy has discovered an electric
range-finding apparatus which deter
mines the enemy's distance accurately,
automatically, and instantaneously.
Ptrk Benjamin, iA'. explains the
invention, its significance and ita pc&vi-bilitit-s
in an article entitled "The Ene
my's Distance: Range-finding at Sea by
Electricity," which he will contribute to
Harper's Magazine for June. The flag
ship Chicago, of the Squadron of Evo
lution, now in Europe, is equipped with
this remarkable apparatus
At the business men's meeting last
night the Herald heard so little to be
proud of that we refrain from any ex
tended notice. The cha:rman, J. G.
Richey, and members of the right of
way committee were rearty and willing;
to do more than their part, but not a
business man was willing to do what
was necessary to be done outside of th$
committee.
