children living on his farm near
the town of Sicwart in Holt county
thisstato. As soon as he was dis
charged this inorniiitr the poor old
man made his way to the railroad
track, and started upthe track and
had jrone about a mile north of the
depot when No. 4 passenger came
around the curve, and before the
old man could ret off the track the
engine was upon him, striking him
and dashini;" the body nearly ItK)

was crushe-d in and the brains ooz

there seemed to be not a whole bone

the accident and brought the body
down to the coroners undertaking
rooms where the inquest will be

R. W. Hyers, W. D. Jones, D.K.Barr

Engineer Miller on the K. C.
P. O'Donnell Conductor Perry of
No. 4 Mrs. A. J. Green who
viewed the accident from a close
proximity to the accident as she
was walking up the track. The
county officials of Holt county have
been telegraphed of the accident
and the friends of the unfortunate
man will be notified as soon as pos

unavoidable accident, for which no
one is blamable. The verdict of the
jury will be given in our next issue

First Baptist Church.
The South Park Baptist church is
so far on the way to completion that
the basement room will be used to
morrow for services and Sunday
School. The roof was finished yes-
terdajr and the floor laid in the base
ment. This when completed will be
a commodious and handsome edi
fice. The combined seating capa
city of the audience and lecture
rooms will be five hundred, and that
of the basement three hundred.
The design is to use the basement
for Sunday School and the
smaller meetings. The corner
stone will be laid Wednesday June
3rd at 4 p. iu. with appropriate cere
monies, and addresses made by
number of eminent divinies from
abroad. The present prospects are
that the formal dedication of the
building will take place in July.
The citizens, are showing their
, pride in the building by the con
struction of sidewalks along the
streets leading in that direction,
and in this connection we might
say that Street Commissioner
Hemple with a force of men and
teams was busy yesterday grading
down Patterson avenue where it
intersects with Clinton street which
leads to the church. The street
that really needs the work however
is Clara which leads up from Lin
coln avenue to Clinton at the corner
where the church is located. It
would require but little work to
open up this street, and doubtless
the residents all along it would be
more than glad to build the neces
sary sidewalks. TllE IlERALO
hopes to see this street opened at
once and made passable, as it
would be a convenience to a great
man)- of our people.
Mrs. Jennie Green, the unfortunate
woman who was shot by E. W. Hutch
son in her apartment in theKitchens
block on the night of April 28, has
been givin up by her physicians
and is slowlj- dying. The faihtful
friends who have wacthed by the
sufferer's bedside have lost all
hope of her recovery and are
moine?:tinly expecting her death.
The uii iori una U- woman is aware
that she is going to die and is ap
parently resigned. She has had her
shroud made and yesterday begged
her friends to try it on her, remark
ing that she desired to see how she
would look in i!. Her condition pre
vented compliance with her request.

Overhead ltiglit.
Altnongu any one may extena an
overhead wire across or along a street, it
does not seem generally known that no
wire may pass over a bouse without the
permission of tho proprietor, even thou;
tho wire be in no way connected with
the house. Tho owner may, if he pleases,
take them all down, for his freehold ex
tends from the center of the earth up to
the sky. This is a principle that is not
generally understood, but occasionally a
householder is found who knows his
ncrnta and will not allow tnem to be in
fringed. Such a person was tho land
lord of a largo boarding houae on Bea
con Hill, who made the electric light
company provide bulbs for the lighting
of his dining room in return for the
privilege of stringing wires upon Lis
roof. Few persons are bo well posted in
the law as to know what their rights
are, and it is an object with large corpo
rations to keep them in ignorance.

Street Car Officials Want Ho Nlcltels.
" v e nave boycotted tne nicKel, says
a Chicago 6treet railway official. "We
refuse to permit street car conductors to
turn in more than four nickels apiece at
the end of their day's work. About
half of the passengers pay their fares in
nickels, and if these coins were turned
in to the company's coffers we would be
hopelessly deluged with them, and a few
days would practically retire the nickel
from local circulation. And how could
we handle the bushels and bushels of
coin? No bank would accept the money
except as a special deposit held for safe
keeping. In short, the only way we can
handle the nickel is to follow the
example of the Irishman with the hot
potato drop it. So we refuse to accept
nickels from our employes, and it is
their duty to unload upon the passengers
all the nickels that are paid in for
fares." New York Tribune.
Dr. Crosby's Convict.
A story is told of Dr. Crosby in The
Evangelist which that gentleman used
to relate himself. ITi.? house was once
entered by a burglar, whom the doctor
himself captured, and who was sentenced
to twelve years' imprisonment. But for
three years the minister kept up a corre
spondence with the convict, converted
him, secured his pardon, and later had
the satisfaction of seeing him become a
prominent and respected citizen in a
distant town and blessed with a wife
and child.
Rosamond's Conundrum.
Five-year-old Rosamond, whose father
is very clever at malrmg charades, was
seated at dinner one day when several
guests were present. They were all giv
ing conundrums when the little girl
quietly said, "Papa, I have one." "WelL
my child, what is it? "Why is tbe
bark of a tree like a dead kitten?" The
answer: "Because it can t mew, was
greeted with roars of laughter. New

The Suprenie Court.
WASHINGTON', May 15. Mr. Justice
Urewer of the I'nited States su-
Dreme court, to-dav issued a writ of
error iu the case of Thayer against
IJoyd, orowino' out of the guberna
torial contest in Nebraska. The pe
tition asking for the writ was pre
Bented to the justice this mornimj
bv Mr. Esterbrook of Omaha, and
the prayer was promptly ranted.
In answer to questions submitted
to him to-day, Justice Urewer said
that his action will simply brim
the case to the united states su
preme court from the supreme
court of Nebraska to be argued on
its merits, it does not serve to re
instate Uovd and the question at
issue, whether or not he was a citi
zen of the United States at the time
he was elected governor, is still to
be determined. Nothing that has
thus far been done will operate to
reinstate Boyd, and of course it can
not be learned at the present time
whether the arguments will be
heard by the supreme court on its
final sitting one week from next
Monday. Inasmuch as the court
has announced that it will hear no
more arguments at this time, it
hardly likely that an exception will
be made in this case and in that
event there will be little opportu
nity to secure a final decision upon
the points at issue until the October
term. In the meantime Governor
Thayer will remain "ovemor de
jure, as well as governor de facto.
Omahas New Briclye.
J. lie location ol uridines across
the M issouri, to be built and used
jointly by the Kock Island and Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul roads,
has been decided upon. The bridge
will be built about on the boundary
line between Omaha and South
Omaha.
About a year ago the Rock Island
through an agent named Phelps
purchased from Henry T. Clarke
and others land for tlepot grounds
and tracks, extending trom Al
bright to the river, at a cost of $2X),-
(XX). To-day the Kock Island deeded
to the Milwaukee road a half in
terest in this land for a considera
tion of $100,000.
rvothincf will be done in the direc
tion of building a bridge until the
case of the Kock Island against the
Union Pacific is decided in the
United States court, but it is prob-
bable that the construction will be
commenced soon aftert that case is
ended, which ever way it goes, as a
oridfre win render tnese roads en
tirely independent of the Union
Pacific and its peculiar sjrstem of
contracts.
Since the Milwaukee crosses at
that point Plattsmouth will have an
excellent opportunity to have that
road enter south western Nebraska
this way over the old proposed line
ot the Plattsmouth southwestern.

Miss May Perry has again earned
the banner. 1 his is fourteen week.'
out of thirtv-six, and twenty-four
rooms to compete with. That room
4 is one of the best conducted
schools of the city is beyond ques
tion: good attendance, punctuality
and up with their work, speak
volumes for the clhciency of the
teacher.
I he rehearsal lor June IJth is
progressing daily, and the schools
will give an entertainment of which
the school patrons as well as man
agement may well feel proud. The
music will be excellenl; Ibis part of
the program is under the super
vision of M iss Clark, and that means
success. Miss Kerney has charge
of the primary drill and it is cer
tain to be good.
Ouite a number of our teachers
had invitations to attend the Harri
son reception at Omaha, but a pres
sure of business required their at
tention elsewhere. If President
Harrison could have been prevailed
upon to visit Plattsmouth he could
have met about 2,500 bright school
children, and his visit would have
been highly appreciated. For pa
triotism we think Plattsmouth
children take the lead, as is evi
denced by the flag tney are buyitu
