CRETE'S rjvrii oiiar. 1
A correspondent of the Omaha Her
ald writes concerning their late cyclone
at that place as follows:
This vicinity was visited yesterday
ato o.clock in the afternoon by the
hardest hail storm ever known here.
even by the oldest residents. A black
cloud came up from the south raining
a light shower, then turned a little to
the northwest, but did not go far.
though the wind continued to blow
from the southeast. The cloud seemed
to increase in size and density, while
the underpart rolled and twisted about
ia a threatening manner, and began to
change its color to a yellow, and at the
sams time rise to almost twice the dis
tance from the earth. A few minutes
later the wind whirled around and
came down on us from the north in
great puffs, the cloud began to move
by our valliant friend, Dr. Miller, who
In these days for lack of opportunity
to eulogize Jefferson Davis, is casting
insinuations and reflecting upon tho
character of Mr. Lincoln. The copper
mat is in a man a head is bound to
shine sooner of later.
The Herald believes just as much
os ever that Plattsniouth can get the
Diagonal road if proper efforts be made.
It cannot get it without work, and it
cannot get it by creating a committee

ter. The Herald believes a little con
tinuous work, and an effort more than
spontaneous, can secure Mr. Woolsten
for a day in Plattsniouth, and insure a
fair sea and clear sailing in .this work
thereafter. It is business to push this
diagonal scheme and imbecility to sleep
by the wayside.
poured down. While we were watch'
ing it rain We heard a peculiar crack
ling noise, accompanied by a roaring,
rushing sound, and on looking to the
west we saw approaching what ap
peared to be almost a solid mass of
falling matter, and in a few seconds it
reached us in the shape of hail that
fell so thick and fast as to cover the
ground in two or three minutes.
Some of the hailstones were very large,
measuring front an inch to an inch
and a half in diameter. The hailstorm
continued from fifteen to twenty min
utes, doing great damage to all kinds
of fruit buds in bloom and to vegeta-
The hail soon clogged up the water
courses, and the water broke over or
into, many yards and gardens and filled
the f ellara. The Standard office, which
is in the basement, was flooded to the
depth of about two feet. After the
cloud p:issed over it seemed to form
into a funnel shape. The lower part
was of a dark green color mixed
with red and yellow. We have had no
report from the southeast, but from
the appearance of the cloud, destruc
tion would follow wherever it touched
the ground. The cloud was heavily
charged with electricity, but no ldud
thunder was heard. The graiu was
too small to sustain serious damage.
The hail fell almost perpendicular,
consequently there was very little dam
age to glass.

Distbict court Is in session hero and
every farmer and citizen from out in the
country will observe again as Plattsniouth
people observe every day in the year the
necessity that exists for a new substantial
court house for Cass county. Now tho
district court rents a hall for court pur
poses with an office for the clerk adjoin
ing. The petit jury crowd tho clerk's
office for a room for the ir deliberations.
The grand jury meet in another part of
the city in the old court room. The
county offices are by themselves except
ing that tho County Supt. when he holds
examinations must go to the high school
building for accommodations. All of
his inconvenience and expenso and
trouble and vexation in conducting the
county business could be obviated i t
the county had twenty-five thousand
dollars invested in a building of their
own. The Hekald invites attention
A. m
io sucn an investment. The county
owns an entire block in one of the finest
locations in the city, worth at least
three thousand dollars. It cannot be
sold, it cannot be utilized, save lor the
purpose for which it was set aside.
Now, then, the county can put a twen
ty thousand dollar building upon that
property, and they can move the coun
ty scat sixty days thereafter, and
have a property that will pay better than
tondsorgold. Property in the city of
Flat U mouth is worth not only first cost
but twenty per cent every year upon the
investment. In this city rants are higher
each year than in Lincoln and approxi
mately higher than in the city of Omaha.

ENTERPRISES.
There are many persons who, be
cause they cannot achieve great results,
achieve nothing. This community
should look to it that they do not place
themselves in the same fix. "We are
led to these remarks, in the fact that
while our business men and board of
trade are wrestling with many pro
posed enterprises, some of gigantic
proportions, others practicable and
some impracticable, there are enter
prises that are within the reach of our
circumstances and surroundings which,
if aided and fostered, would be profit
able to the parties engaged therein and
alao to the city.
There is consumed in this city, in
twelve months, about 825,000 in each
year of canned goods. Of this amount
mere than two-thirds of the same is
for canned fruits. Is there any reason
why we should send money abroad to
pay for canned blaekberries, tomatoes,
corn, peas, beans, apples and peaches ?
A little energy and enterprise would
put this industry on a sure and suc
cessful basis.

THE JOURNAL PETTYFOCS.
The Journal states as its candid
opinion that the ambition of the re
publican party is to hold office Just
so. Of course tbe democratic party
cares nothing for office nor its emolu
ments. All they care for is the good
of the country. This democratic party,
in order to secure the offices about
which the Journal speaks, has done
more twisting, lying, stealing, and
dirty work than all other parties put
together. This party has advocated
everything reasonable and' unreason
able; has been on every side of every
question of a political nature which
has been before the peopl in the last
eighteen years. How this party is

Thus it will be seen that taxes be
