Those e;ister cards at Phil Young's are handsome, stir enough, and art rapid ly going. Who said we were going to have nice pleasant weather now, right along. It snow such thing. Don't forget the meeting at thi T. A. M club at the council chamber to aight, 1i o'clock sharp. The city election occurs two weeks from today, and in order to vole you must register. Ihc registrars are sitting now, in each ward. Knights of honor meeting iu th;:ir lodge room this evening at which a full attendance id requested. The IIrki.d understands that' V. V. Leonard will !k among those who will build a new residence the coming sum mer. Isn't it about time tho people of I'lattsinoulh were waking up to the fact that city election is almost at hand; and does it not behove thorn to see to it that the grand farce thai our police officers have been enacting for some time pant is brought to a close on election day? We r.re indebted t the Journal office for the use of their presi, and to Mr. James Lambeitson for his valu able assistance in getting out the IIekald last evening. Our press, like the anti-iaonops in the hit legislature, refu-t to "caucus," which accounts for the delay, etc. We desire to call attention of the readers of the Herald to the adver tisements contained therein. The en terprise displayed by the business men in the manner of advertising and the goods they advertise speak for themselves. Bead over the advertise ments and see who the live and suc cessful business men are. The city at present is full of roughs and roustabouts, who have no money and won't work, so of course must re sort to "deeds tha are dark and tricks that are vain" to keep them alive. Look out for sand-baggers and thieves. As the warm weather approaches the number increases. (Jet new locks on ' the back doors, and turn the dog loose in the yard. The popularity of the B. & M. rail road and its officers is evidenced by the rapid increase of its business. The present regular express and pxssenger trains are not sufficient to do the bus iness that is really demanded, and the company have decided to run thn trains known as Nos. : and 4, which now only run from Plattsmouth and Omaha to Lincoln and re' urn, clear through to Bed Cloud, making two trains each way daily, on the main Bne as far as Bed Cloud. It will not be long nntil through trains in the same way will be required. The telephone exchange ought to double its present number of exchanges . in this city. There are very few In the city who have given a telephone more than a starvation trial that would do without one and if the number in the city were doubled their value to all .would be much greater. The snow has disappears.! almost as rapidly aa it appeared. It may. after all. just happened to help -Wiggins out of a bad scrape.

An order was snt to one of our drug stores yesterday which reads as follows: "Niokle's worth salce tarter, -,i ets ayamonea, 5 cent glycriea soep." This is almost as bad as the printer who couldn't get the words "-Jesus Christ" in a line, and being in a hurry abreriated it, making it "J. Christ." Annual Sleeting'.

I. Bogtfen, seei.t:iry of State, returned Friday from Kearney where the board of public lands and buildings went to inspect the reform school and select a site for the new building. The other members of the board, Attorney (Jeneral Powers, Treasurer Sturdevant and Mr. Ken dall, president of the board, went from Kearney to their homes at Da kota i'ily, (ieneva, ami St. Paul re spectively. Tho bite selected for the new building is within l."0 feet of that of the building occupied at present. Tho present building will lc convert ed into work simps, for the training of the inmates of the school. Mr. IJoggen savs that then; an; not nc.irby sullicicut accommodations at present to satisfy the demands for admission for children. Hi: docs not doubt that if there wwre sutMcient ac commodations there would be 100 inmates within three months. He believes that this will become a very important and useful institution and will have live hundred inmates with in the next live years. The board design putting up a bain at once, an appropriation having been made lor that purpose, and this cau be util ized lor a time for sleeping apart incuts. The nard will advertise on the lirst of June tor plans, and on the iirst of July for bids under the pkins. I The board were well pleaded wil.'. 1 the management of the institution, There are thirty bovs and eleven girls iu the school, and the discipline among the itumsUs is said to be wonderful. They are trained I i k l : soldiers, and they an: contioiied in their movements by a simple move ment o! the hand ol the superintend cut. Til j .stipjiiat'jiidcut beiL'ves in moral suasion aud does not admin istcr coi poral punishment of any i kind. There are certain privclegcs ; which the inmates hav and they for- ' feit these by an infraction ol these ; rules. This is generally all the pun j ishment that is required. A citizen j of Brownuilic took his' son to the ! school some time ago, and he assur- j ed Dr. Collins that no moral suasion would have any all'ect upon the bo3V that he would have to whip him. The doctor said ihat he would do nothing of the kind, and has been as good hh his word. The hoy is obedient and trustworthy, and is frequent!" scut up town with sums of money to make purchases. In no case has he failed to execute his errands with qtompt ness and fidelity. I lis lather wanted to take him out a short time ago, but the boy did not want to go and was not compelled to do so. There is no enclosure around the grounus suiiiC.c-ul to prevent tbe escape of au inmate disposed to run away, but I there is au uninterrupted view for several J miles around aud the doctor on one occa j sion at least made good use of this ad- j vantage. Que of the boys got away and j had been gone sonic time before he was j missed. Dr. Collins got a large Held ' glass winch he had purchased a short ; time before, and by means of it discov ered the lad about three miles off, and takiug a hors:, s:ion overtook him and brought hini back. lie so.-a after missed his telescope, however, aa.l it occurring to him to stir up the ashes in the large Etovc he found the slag into which the telescope had become metamorphosed. The boy had evidently taken this pre- caution agaiust recapture a second time. There is a good deal of trouble grows out of the tendency of tiiose desiring ad mission of their children to swear down the age. Tho rule is to admit none over sixteen, ami parents are inclined to dis tort the facts in order to get troublesome children oil their hinds. Another uu-I pleasant thing is the presence of several j idiots who have been sent th-ie. This j unfortunate class of beings seem to have j no proper place. They have been soat-! tcrcd around between Ilia reform school, ' the penitentiary aud the insane asylum, in none of which places they belong. borne provision ougut to Us main tor them. Sta'e Journal. A City iu Ashes. j Under this heading the Biack iiiils Index, published at Central City gives the following account of the tire; it! shows how news will increase iu vol j nine when it leaves home: ' Under dale of 17th instant the tele graph gives information of the total destruction of the business portion of PJattsmoulh Nebraska, by tire. .As jnany old residents of Plattsmoulh are now living iu this county, this will be read with regret. It is terri ble to contemplate a busy little city in flames, with uo power to check them, but to sit aud watch the crumb liug of Hue business houses, erected it great expense, one by one, and see the crackling lire lick up home after home. We predict that upon those ashes will grow a better aud more permanent city. ' The horse th'ef but Veen getting iu his work aain in the vicinity of Souih Bend.
