There an
many white soaps,
each
represented to be
"just as good as the Ivory.
They are not,
but like
all counterfeits,
they lack
the peculiar
and remarkable
qualities of
the genuine.
Ask for
Ivory Soap
and
insist upon having it.
'Tis sold everywhere.
From Mondays Daily
We are glad to note an improvement
in J. V. Weckbach's health. lie wil
start "Wedntsday for Colfax Springs,
Iowa, where we trust he may receive per
manent benefits.
Fifty, or there abouts, of Plattsmouth's
fairest misses and moat gallant gents,
hied themselves away to "Fitzgerald's
Forty" Saturday night for a moonlight
picnic. A royal time was had by by the
merry young pet pie, as the night was one
of the most delightful of the season.
Games of all kinds were indulged in and
suitable refreshments were partaken of
consisting of choice fruits.
Saturday afternoon a delightful ken
sington tea was served at the pleasant
home of Mrs. S. II. Atwood by the ladies
of the P. E. O. society, in honor of Mrs,
D. A. Campbell, who will depart for Lin
coin in a few days. lhe parlors were
artistically decked and draped with the
society's colors, while the table was dain
ty with the china, flowers and tempting
viands. Mrs. Campbell will be greatly
missed in social circles, where she is a fa
rorite.
An Incendiary Fire.
Last night about 1 o'clock the house
owned and occupied by Mr Ed Dilla
j
hay located one half mile north
of the power house in Mercertown was
hurniul down. Mr. Dillahav is the fire
man at the power house and was en
gaged at his work when he noticed the
tire, but before he could reach the
building it was completely enveloped in
flames. Mrs. Dillahay was not at home
so that all their household effects upon
which there was not a dollars's insurance
was a total loss. It' is a severe blow to
Mr Dillahay, who is an industrious ci
tizen and who had nothing outside of
his household effects, which are now
swept away.
The wind was blowing very hard from
the south east and when first discovered
the fire had just begun burning at that
corner. Near by was discovered .their
coal oil jug empty though it had been
left full in the wood shed the day be
fore. There was no fire in the house and
had been none for seyeral days, it was
clearly the work of some incarnate fiend
whose life should be a burden to him.
It is not known whether robbery or cool
calculating villany was the object f the
incendiaries. The good people of Mer-c-irtown
should keep a keen lookout for
suspicious parties, and if possible stop
this business before it goes any farther.
Died.
John Bringman, late of Louisville,
died at an early hour Saturday morning,
of consumption, at the insine asylum,
where he had but recently been taken for
treatment. John Jackman, his son-in-law,
went up and brought the body of
deceased to Plattsmcuth n the flyer and
then t;xk the Schuyler train for Louis
ville. The funeral took place yesterday
at Riverview cemetery near the village.
OMr. Bringman came to Nebraska in the
fifties and was widely known and re
spected. He leaves a widow and two
sons and two daughters to mourn his
loss. He had been very feeble for some
time and his death was in a measure not
unexpected.
" Lem. Cooper returned last evening
from a pleasant sojourn in Atchison.
Mrs. Lew Myers returned home Satur
day, her mother being much improved.
Mrs. E. E. Hilton returned home this
morning after a visit anion friends at
Wymore.
Mayor Richej, W. H. Pickens and
Wm. Webber were in South Omaha yes
terday. Fred Bates and Sam Carrigan with
their wives started for the Grand Island
reunion this morning.
Judge Chapman went to Colfax
Springs yesterday morning to recruit .'p.
lie will attend a reunion of his old regi
ment at Des Moines before he returns
houi3.
The genial Col. Greusel visited hi son
E. S. over Sunday and left this mon.L-.g
for Des Moines, where he will address j
his old comrades at a reunion of the j
'Hornet? Xe.-t Brigade."
THE UNWASHED
And Silk Stocking Crowd Elect Dele
gates to Wabash The Pro
ceedings. The HkiiALD has all along counseled
moderation, and has endeavored to get
the "silk stockings" and the "unwashed"
to dwell together in true Damon and
Pytnias fashion and with a heavy heatt
we arc compelled to admit that success
has not been achieved. Field Marshal
Kroehler aud Col. Peter E. RufTner with
a zeal worthy of a better cause Bounded
the tocsin of war from the hilltops that
no "silk stockings" need apply in the
second ward; the challenge was taken up
and carried to the camp of the "silks"
who were wrought exceeding wrathy.
It was realized that something desperate
most be done or Broehler would become
the chief of a little Tammany of his
own that might do great and lasting
damage to the party of reform (?).
The "silks" under command of Hon.
J. M. Patterson, the Stephen A. Douglas
of Nebraska, with Hon. F. E. White
and B. S. Ramsey as lieutenants marched
down from the railroad camps with a
hundred graders armed (with ballots)
for the fray and the "unwashed" were
taken by storm; they retreated in great
disorder at the mere sight of the Sarpy
county cohorts.
The Third ward under the carefHl
management of David McEntee the
embryo "John Kelly" of I'lattsmouth,
seemed to belong to the Gering faction
but David was equal to the emergency
and by a close shave pulled his ticket
through by a majority of one. The
Fourthjward people read the IIerai.d,
and as result sweet peace and harmony
prevailed, the office hungry horde of
"silks" were routed body and breeches
by the rank and file. Gering carried
the ward and was feeling jubilant over
it. The fifth appeared to have went by
default to Gering.
But the first, where the doughty Con
nor wields the scepter, what of it? We
understand all would have been loyely
had not A. N. Sullivan fthe man that
discovered Dwyer) told Connor that he
had heard it said by prominent democrats
that he, Connor, could not go to the con
vention, Joseph pondered, and the more
he thought of it the worse he wanted to
go, consequently on Saturday morning
at creat personal sacrifice he let the mar
kets rest and went to "seeing the boys"
and he was a winner with votes to spare;
the oily Joe hugged the Dutch with his
right arm whiie he engaged the left in
patting the Irish affectionately on the
back, Joe is the Calvin Brice of Platts-
mouth.
KOTES.
Chris. Wohlfarth was nominated for
issessor in the First ward and Dr. Win-
tersteen in the Fourth.
Joe Connor drew hra face down
and looked like a man at a funeral in
his attempt to appear innecent at the
primary. The innocent act is not Joe's
specialty.
Mat Gering came running in breathless
after the polls had closed in the third,
and after some debate was allowed a
yoie. He discovered when too late how
ever that he had voted a fourth ward
ticket which wouldn't count.
In the firstvard Capt. Thresher seemed
to be bearing the responsibility ot a na
tional campaign on his shoulders. While
he was out on the street gathering in the
unwashed, the silks closed the polls,
Thresher returned to vote and was fairly
heartbroken when he found he was too
late; finally in a lond voice and in an
impressively earnest manner he informed
the chairman that there were 17 demo
crats back there in the hall who had not
voted; as Thresher was the only man
there he brought down the house. He
had simply magnified his own import
ance. Everywhere it was a fiee for all, no
voters were troubled with questions as to
their politics.
C. W. Sherman wanted to go as a del-
gate so bad, he could taste it, and when
uccess had perched upon the Dwyer
anners his smile deepened and broad-
ned into a lond guffaw.
While the vote was being counted in
the third Billy Mostin came in, having
ust voted in the Second, and C. W.
Sherman had the polls reopened that the
faithful representative Billy might get
to vote.
Carpenter Billy Miller says there never
was such u rotton primary held in the
tate of Nebraska as the one in the
econd ward Saturday night. He says
the grading camps full of beer, came
down and voted and that even then the
hat was stuffed with 25 or 30 ballots.
Billy, it is plain to be seen, is disgusted.
Fred Kroehler says this morning, "I
say nothing, I yust saw wood."
The report that Kroehler had crepe on
lis rooster is denied by Col. Ruffner.
Joe Connor confidentially told the
Hekai.d reporter that he had 30 more
votes down on the stpeet worked up for
the First ward but that the boys had all
fctopped to see the rope walker, aud he
didn't need them anyway.
To show you nbout Jim Patterson's
px?uis:ve eloquence, he actually
bad all the Bohemian! fighting Kroeh
ler in the second ward on the ground
that Kroehler was a prohibitionist.
When Kroehler beard of it he said,
''Well Pap's a cuckoo and no mistake."
Ed Ru finer' tongue wouldn't go off
just right, but his soul was in the
fight.
For a new convert to democracy Tom
Walling showed wonderful zeal aDd was
noticed several times shedding copious
tears for Dwyer. The cause for this sud
den love for Dwyer may become appar
ent later on.
High School Notes.
School opened under a clear sky this
morning with a good attendance, far be
yond the average for the first day.
Among the pupils are many who at
tended the Sister's school last year. The
manner in which our superintendent
dispenses business shows conclusively
that he knsws how to manage and con
trol a school .
The attendance this morning was as

year.
Miss Hanna is holding the reins in
room 13, the largast room in the building,
and by the way, she is one of the best
disciplinarians in the schools, attends
strictly to her own duties and is a sue
eessful teacher,
The manner in which Mr. IUlsey takes
hold, assures us that we are going to
have one of the best High schools in the
state. He is no novice in the Bchool
room.
Miss McClelland has the responsible
position of assistant principle. She is
one of our new teachers and one who ha6
had much experience in the school room.
Our schools are fortunate to obtain
teachers of ability and we predict success
to Miss McClelland.
Miss Bessie Sloniker's smiling counte
nance was visible today. She is one of
our most pleasant teachers, always smiling
and cheerful.
Miss Vallery and Miss Kearny are among
the missing and they are missed indeed.
They were two of our best teachers and
we wish them success in their new
positions as principals of ward buildings.
Miss Berta Hyers is one of the new
ward teachers. She taught very success
fully at Raymond and we predict she will
prove one of our best teachers.
Clara Wilson.
The county fair management have sa
cured a rate of one and one third fare
for our Cass county exposition. This
will bring many people in from the west
end of the county to trade so that it
will pay our merchants well to make a
fine exhibit, it will be a splendid adver
tisement.
Will Wehrbein left his coat in his
buggy down on the street Sunday after
noon. A tramp gave a boot black 10
cents to get the coat for him which he
did. Mr. Wehrbein discovered the loss
in time to overhaul the tramp at the
north end of 4th street and get his coat
while his trampship took to the brush at
a lively pace.
Albert Wright, son of Charles Wright
found a large box of calico and some
ticking in the ditch just south of happy
hollow near the railroad track yesterday.
The goods were for Begole & Vananstine
of Beatrice and were evidentlv stolen
from a car of merchandise. Mr. Wright
notified the marshal and together they
wtnt down and got the box and turned
it over to A.gent Latham. Plattsmouth
must be the headquarters for a gang of
slick car thieves.

City Schools.
Much interest is being manifested in
the school work, which, if it is kept up,
will be very beneficial. Tlie total en
rollment for the entire city yesterday
was 772, for this morning it was 850, this
being the largest enrollment
tained in the city.

The Sugar Palace.
The following special to the Omaha
Bee gives a neat outline of the sugar
palace:
Grand Island. Neb., August 30. The
Grand Island sugar palace, completed
today, stands a monument to the energy
and enterprise of Nebraska and Grand
Island .
In connection with the panorama of
Gettysburg it covers two blocks of
ground.
In point of interest it surpasses that of
any other palace eyer erected, as repre
senting an industry that is sure to revo
lutionize the agricultural industries of
Nebraska and the whole west.
The exhibits in the palace are more
varied than that of the Sioux CVy corn
palace or any other. Maple sugar, beet
sugar and the Caw sugar industries are
represented. Ex king corn enters in the
exhibits, as do all the cereals and jrra3ses
in Nebraska.
At the rii;ut ot the main entrance is a
miniature beet sugar factory in full ope
ration, showing the product in every
stage of its manufacture. This will be
very instructive and interesting. At the
left is a cane factory also in operation.
Adjoining this is one of the prettiest
and most realistic scenes in the palace
a Vermont maple sugar camp scene.
Small maple trees have been planted in
the soil. A shanty and cobblestone
fire-place and a race and flour mill are in
the background. Everything is covered
with artificial snow that requires the
sense of touch to distinguish from the
real.
The white room, corn, cereal and
grass exhibits are also very interesting.
Besides these Mr. Christie has presented
a half dozen large Nebraska landscapes
10x30 feet. The roof is decorated with
corn and beets.
The panorama of the battle of Gettys
burg, which will be exhibited in con
nection with the palace, is the same size
as those exhibited in Omaha and Denver
and executed by the same artist.
The Herald is sorry to learn that
Thomas Hicks is seriously troubled with
some painful nervous disease which
draws his muscles up in knots, at which
times his sufferings are very severe.
Eddie Fitzgerald can purr as softly as
a kitten; he is the embodiment of youth
ful innocence and modesty, but. he can
set up a democratic primary to the
queen's taste, and dont you forget it.
M. A Hartigan filed two cases in coun
ty court today, one for $102.50 vs. the
Canning Company for attorney fees, the

$245 account atty fees. Cases to be
heard Sept. 13th.
