A New Project. The board of education, in con junction with Supt. McClelland and I'rin. Hal,ey, is considering the advisability of adding a "Hun i nens Department" in connection with the work of our public schools. The idea is to draft a course of study including the essential com mon school branches, and in addi tion theory of book-keeping, busi ness forms notes, drafts, moil gages, certificates of deposit, etc. -letter-writing and penmanship. The course would probably extend , , yf , i in little iiii'ijiiiliilil'l uates of Ihis course am; ' !inc for thorough preparation for business -at lea.t a-i far as the theory of busi ness and business education is con cerned. It is the opinion of TllK HiiWALl) that this a more in the right dircc tion and should receive encourage ment from the patrons, in asinuch as tlie plan is calculated to benefit the pupils. There are a great many students, doubtless, that pursue the work through the suc cessive grades, until they reach the high school, then, thinking that the higher branches-Geometry, Alge bra, Latin and etc, are not exactly the work in which they wish to be come proficient, they drop out and are seen upon our streets wasting their lime in idleness. For the greater number of these a business course as proposed would prove fascinating and could hardly fail to elicit their sym pathies. Besides, the teach er employed for this work might be expected to teach penmanship in all the higher grades. He can teach 1.T0 or 'J00 pupils as easily as a smaller num ber. And then, too, we should have the influence of a specialist in this line as well ns in the business work. It has become a recognized fact among prominent educators that to teach pemanship, sucessfully, one should be employed who has made special preparation. In a Vreat many places of less popula tion than this, special teachers for penmanship are employed. it :( n,: .......... Jl m t. ajicv it vi, Minn, ij lines ujiu- sition is considered favorably, that it will be expedient to maintain a night school, thus affording a great number that are employed during the day an opportunity to develop their powers at odd hours. The prosecution and the success ful execution of this plan will de pend upon the encouragement it i receives at the hands of the patrons, for whom, and largely, under the direction of whom, the board and teachers sire operating.

Ilollister, the genial bag gage man at the H. & M. is laid up with an injured font. This morning a trunk fell from the car and struck his foot. The bruise will doubtless lay him up for several weeks. A young man had his hand crushed at the shops last evening. A Pleasant Surprise. I.ast evening, our genial towns man, l'eter Petersen, was com pletely, but agreeably surprised, by the procession of friends that com fortably filled his commodious dwelling. The event was planned and exe cuted in commemoration of his forfy seventh anniversary, under immediate direction of tlie I. O. (). r lodge of this city, of which Mr. 1. is an honored member. The efforts of the lodge were ably seconded by other friends as the success of the affair fully indicated. After ' Arnfrnuli imoii( j uiiMitdnniiuh' uttrtrtwl blr. Petersen was presented with an elegant easy chair as a token of the esteem in which he was held, by his neighbors and friends. After spending the evening all returned to their home doubtless feelingthat a profitable and enjoyable time was had. Una More Care, Yesterday as a little boy of Mr. I. Pearlman was crossing the street, a teamster was driving rapidly do'vn the road and ran over thejboy. It seem almost providential that t the little fellow was not killed. He escaped with only a alight injury about the head. It seems certain that the driver wa9 careless in the extreme. We 1 are tiot aware aa to whether there is an ordinance prohibiting rapid driving through the city, but there la anecessity for something of the THE STATE FAtR. Thousands in Attendance are De lighted with the Great Exhibi tion of Nebraska Products. Yesterday was a cool, cloudy, nntumnul day, just the kind of one for visitors to enjoy the nianioth showing tif Nebraska products at Lincoln, and judging from the crowd which numbered fully tO.iKH) people, the wonderful resources of Nebraska were noted and fully ap preciated. The horticultural and agricul tural halls were filled tooverllowing with exhibits that have never been equaled in this state, and in our humble opinion could not be equaled anywhere else. The west ern counties broke all records, with vegetables so large they had to be labeled what they were, and many were cut in two to show that there was no attempt to deceive the peo ple with plaster of paris casts. We saw potatoes that four would make a big half peck, and other vegeta bles and fruits showed the same wonderful development. Lincoln county was therewith a complete locomotive made from the products of the soil. From the peanut bell-cord to the water melon cylinders, or the drive wheels made of red ears of corn, the engine was the constant center of a large crowd of admirers. The ten der was a beauty and was filled with Lincoln county products. Jumbo, the potato elephant, and numerous artistic exhibits made from shelled corn of different colors, were not a small part of the many attractions. The fruit ex hibit was the largest and best we ever saw, comprising, in addition to Nebraska's standard fruit, the apple, many varieties of peaches pears, white grapes, quince , etc. The exhibit of line horses, cattle, sheep and hogs was fully up to former years -except the latter, which is the largest and finest ex hibit ever made upon the state fair grounds, and includes some of the best herds to be found in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas or Nebraska. To give one a clear and distinct idea of the many interesting features of the fair would require several columns, and as The I Ik KALI) trusts its readers will all be able to attend on Friday, which is booked as the big day, we will not attempt a careful description of the world of interesting objects to be seen. Matched at the Fair. The great attraction at the Ne braska City Inhibition yesterday, was a public marriage, held in the all exposition building. The mana gement, some time since, offered an elegant bed room set to the couple that would be married at the exposi tion, and C. 15. Siener and Jennie Chapplok, realizing an opportunity to make a start toward house-keep ing, appeared at the appointed hour and were pronounced husband and wife by a proper authority. In readingover thestatc fair notes in this morning's Lincoln Journal we notice the following: "Hon. M. I). Polk, of Plattsmoiith followed the trotting dog around the grounds yesterday, evincing his interest and admiration, Polk tiro poses to show a trotting chicken next year. Get ready for the county fair. A good agricultural display is pro mised for the lair and good racing is assured. . Remember the balloon ascension and wire walking performance at the county fair. Daniel llurris made a trip to Ne braska City yestereay via the M. P. for the purpose of taking in the reunion. Uncle Dan reports the road in good condition. He re ports the old soldiers havinga good time, but thinks that today will be the best day of the reunion. At the reunion at Nebraska City yestereay. while the speaking was in progress, the grand stand collapsed, throwing several hundred people to Ihe the ground. Mrs. C. Anderson was severely injured; aside from this the damage was not serious. More disastrous effects might have re sulted. Mr. II. D. Apgar, the genial, gen tlemanly agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad at this place, has met with a well deserved apprecia tion of his services by being pro moted to the position as agent at Plattsmoiith with an increase of H) per month on salary. Mr. Apgar will leave for his new field of labor on Wednesday. During their resi deuce here of about a year Mr. and Mrs. Apgar have made a host of friends who will greatly regret their departure, but all wish them sue cess and commend them to the good people of Plattsmoiith. superior Daily Journal. Laid to Rst. The funeral of Mrs. L. R. Skinner took place from the residence of Mr. C. M. Duller as announced Quite a large number of neighbors and friends gathered to participate in the last sad rites. Fred Gorder arrived here last Sat urday. His stay at Plattsmoiith was a sad one and may result in his removal permanently to that town, in order to enable him to attend to ihe alfairs of his deceased father. Such a step on his part will be re gretted very much by this people. Kaglet. Lewis Rowe. came into the city yesterday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Aloiuo Moore, J. M. Wyatt ami Chas. lvltnundson Mr. Rowe claims that he received violent treatment at their hands md doubtless this is the case as his head showed quite a cut ami be was otherwise bruised. Doubtless Mr. R. has a grievance from which he needs redress, as no provocation would justify a pounding from three burly roughs. From rYflin iMiij. Mrs Faught departed last evening for Phelps Neb., for a visit with friends. Mrs. H. C. Wheeler has returned from an extended visit to friends at Nebraska City. . Henry Kikenbary and daughter Menota were passengers on No. 3 for Lincoln last evening. The M. P. railway has a time ta ble in this issue. The accommo dation train leaves at 10:55 a. m. and irrives at 4:1X1 p. m. The work at the court house is progressing, and ere long it will be an established fact that Cas county has a court-room that will compare favorably with those of adjacent counties. II. C. McMaken, our genial friend, was a passenger for Lincoln this morning. He goes principally to attend a reunion of his old regiment but he is too patriotic a citizen to miss visitihg the state fair before returning. Ivlmer Jewel, a young man whom many will remember as a new comer, and who recently went to Denver with a view of benefitting his health, has returned to Platts- mouth. It uppers that the Denver climate did not prove beneficial. We are authorized to say that L. C. KickholT is not a candidate for treasurer and will not accept the nomination. Mr. KickhotT feels grateful to his friends who have pledged their support and urged his candidacy and duly appre ciates all favors extended, but he feels that he cannot accept the office and do justice to his business affairs. Mrs. L, C. Decker, who met with the misfortune of having her bouse and household goods swept by flames last spring near Union, has now under construction a mansion that will be a credit to Liberty precinct. The main building it self is :ttx:() with a rock cellar, and will be two story's with all modern conveniences. The building is being built of brick that are ship ped to Union from the steam brick yard at Nebraska City. It i ex pected to be completed by Oct. 15. J. M. Gallaher, traveling freight and stock agent for theM.P. road made the II KHALI) office a pleasant call this morning. He informs us that trains will be running regular ly from I'lattsmonth making con nections at Union for St. Joe, Kan sas City, St. Louis, and also Weeping Water, and Lincoln. Thus parties desiring to visit points in either direction from Union will be ac comodated by the M. P. See the time card in another column. In the event of any changes in the time-card our readers will be in formed in regard to it. Weeping Water Republican Clipping a Tuesday's Hee in speaking; about the Union cut-oil of the Mo. Pacific road, says that "comcencin last Sunday a mixed train will leave Plattsmoiith at 10:.V a. in. and ar rive at Union in one hour. K'eturn inj it will leave Union at 3 p. nr arrive at Plattsmoiith at 4 p. in. The distance between stations is 14.1) miles. Thin service is no' (piite so j;ood as the Platls monthites expected but they may in months to come jret better ac commodation. Fred Gorder returned from Platts moiith last week. lie is undecided yet whether he will remain here permanently or not, as business requires his attention in Platts moiith. If he decides to return to the latter place he will probably sell out. Fred has many friends here that would regret to sec him leave and hope matters may be so arranged that his business will con tinue here under his supervision. This is certainly a good paying point, equal if not better than Platts moiith. A New Enterprise. We have received a sample copy, vol. 1, No. 1 of The New K.ra. at Un enterprising little village of South Hend, by J. W. Herge.
