Dserts Her Husband for a Better Man- Yesterday aftpruoon a man of about 40 summers with a big brimmed hat, blue pants and high topped boots, was on the street. His name was Ed. Ham mers and he was from "(Jlenwood and he was looking for his wife, a fair lady of about 15 years his junior. It seems that Tuesday evening Mrs. Hammers accompanied by a young wom an just about of age and a man who was more attractive than her husband, left (Ilenwood and came to Plattsmouth They stopped for the night at the Per kins House registering as Mrs. D. T. Haun and sister, of Rnrlington, aud J. C.Clark, of Pacific Junction. Mr. Hammers became aware of the elopement and came over on yesterday's train to get his wife to return. He hunted Marshal Maliek and they went to the Perkins and interviewed Mrs. Ham mers, but she refused to return with her husband, and apparently expected to be arrested by the sheriff, but did not seem to care if she was, just so she did not have to return. Mr. Hammers returned to Glenwood last evening not having seen the man who had caused his trouble, as the fellow kept quiet and was not ap prehended l3- the oflicers. Mrs. Ram mers with her iniaut boy, which she had brought with her, and her com panion, left the hotel in the evening and staid on the street till late, apparenily looking for Clark, but he did not appear and as the jail "was not lit to conline them in, Policeman F;tzpatrick took the women to the Pacific House where they remained for the night, and this morning they boarded ono of the eastern trains. Mr. Hammers has lived in Glenwood for a long time and this woman was his second wife, aud the little boy was their only child. A NEW CLUB Tho Young Man Form a Society.

For about a week the founders of the society have been making arrangements to perfect an organization and several meetings have been held. The organization has been perfected so far as to elect o Ulcers and collect money with which to fix things up to make the club a source of interest aud profit to th members. Ot course no married men will be admitted. The by-laws will be drawn up and adopted as soon as possible, and the so ciety promis e to be a worthy success. The club has rented the front room over J. I. Unruh's store, which is being fixed up for their occupation. The young gentlemen who are interest ed in the enterprise seem very earnest in in iicir desire to have tlie club a good one. and the Herald, from the present outlook, ventures fo predict for the club a brilliant future.
