Tim Siiaveip. GLORIOUS HOPE. Cass County Democrats Gloriously Dofoatod Republicans Victorious- Yesterday's election of county oflicors was a grand one. The vote cast was large and went the right way. This morning came and the news of the republican victory in Plattsmouth cast a bhadow upon the countenances of ill the democrats and as the different precincts sent in reports of republican voctories the shadow became a cloud and this afternoon when only Tipton and Stove (.'reek were to be heard from and tin; democratic majorities were reduced to 27 for J. M. Robinson clerk, and .10 for Louis Foltz, commissioner, while the republicans all had good majorities and the precincts to be heard from are strong republican, democratic hope was gone. This is the greatest victory everachiev- el'tythe republicans of Ca.ss county. To-morrow evening Tin-; IIkkai.d wilj publish a complete list of the returnaj totals and pluralities of tiie county, pro vided all the precincts report by that time in full. It is conceded by democrats that D. A. Campbell's plurality will prob ably reach 450 to .100. .VICTORY! Plattsmouth Does Her Duly and Lays the Democratic Ticket Out Cold. A Heavy Vcte Well Cast. Yesterday's elec tion was one w hich will long reflect honor on the city of Platts mouth, and her voters deserve the greatest praise for their good work and success.

AMERICA'S HISTORY. A Sort of "Hiawatha" by Dob1 Burdette. When, he landed, C. Columbus Found the people with no clothes; Found them dressed like Lydia Thompson; Dressed for going to the opera. Now they un dress more than ever, IJut it costs much more to do so; Costs like smoko to put on nothing. Thvn he found the people tainted, Hinged and streaked from heel to eyebrow; Now they paint above the shoulders, IJut it costs as much as ever. Then the young men smeared their bod ies; Now the young men paiut the town red. Then he found the maids assem bled, AVaiting on the sandy seashore; Waiting for the Spanish sailors. Now as ever, they are waiting, Giddy girls and anxious "monimers." Eyer waiting on the seashore: AVaiting for the men to find them, Eager still to be discover ed; Anxious that they may be sought for by strange men from foreign coun tries. Then Columbus found the natives Free and easy with their ducats. Gladly giving to the strangers All the boodle they had room for. Still to-day the foreign raider Scoops their dollars by the hatful; Oscar AVild and Goodby Patti, AVilson "Tug" and Canon Farrar, Donkey, Song bird Tough and Parson, Heap alike a gelden harvest. Gone arc all Columbus' Injuns, Gone the copper colored maiden. Gone the dusky squaws and sachems. Hut their children still survive them; Living longer than their fathers; AVe have lately cut our eye teeth; And although we may seem sim ple; in the presence of the stranger, Yet he want3 to keep his eye peeled AVhen we'rcdealing from the bottom; Turning jacks at times unwonted; Yet he wants to come in winter. AVhen the earth with Irost is baking, And the mercury is freez ing, If he vainly hopes to leave us, Sob bing sadly in the distance; And when he returns bald headed, He w ill hear our shouts of laughter. As beneath his scalp we gather, Drying in our smoky wigwam, Like a hair plaque in our tepee. AA'e have not forgot how Cortez Taught our fathers to talk Spanish, And we have ac quired the language And ourselves are talking classic. That's four centuries evolution; That's the kind of Iujuns we are. Russians at SaraUa. Eomuky, Nov. 9.

It is curious to remark how greatly Paris ian habitd have changed within even the past few year3, and that, too, not a little owing to Anglomania. ( u( d r exercise is all the rage nowadays, particularly riding and driving, and from '. to 1 1 iu the moniiag tho Hois do Boulogne i i the rendezvous of tho praneers and piaiTeuses, i ho, nftor their morning tob (Angliee, tub), take a drivu in their Loguet (Anglice, buggy) or in their Sx.edair, which we pronounce spider. P-ut that is a det iil. Thu grave thing is that these gentlemen and ladies "very f-jk-cted' gat up early and go to 1hj1 early, and tho con-:ertuonce is that they do not go to tho theatre so much as formerly, and, above :Ui, they do not care any longer about first nights. For that matter the mana gers of the fashionable theatres arc now much cxercised to know how to arrange their pro grammes, for the Parisian dinner hour is get ting later and later and the Led hour earlier and earlier. At home few jx.ople. dine before 7:o0; at dinner parties one does not sit down to tablo much before S o'clock; what timo re mains for the theatre t Hither one must diiio exceptional it" early or elao arrive iu the mid dle of tho fourth act. At the Opera things are managed better. By tacit agreement eomo old opera i' j performed for the lenefit of tho for. igners and country cousins, and then toward ll c'e!oek t ha ballet begins for the benefit of the subscribers, who drop in about that hour, and many of whom have never heard the overture or even the first two acts of any opera of tho repertory. Ior aro they any prouder er happier on that account. But still tki.ssle.to of afTairs is unsatisfactory, and the theatrical managers feci uneasy in consequence. i aris Cor. Juoiulon v orld.

Having come to the elephant's stablo Dave gave him first candy, then cake, and then finally cried: "Now boys!1' and slipped a piece of tobacco in his proboscis, intending to get out of danger and enjoy Old Columbus' disgust and hbit.

"Within the last year hundreds of benevo lent people were actually busy begging for canceled stamps in order to obtain admission for an old lady in a Philadelphia "home." A Germantovvii physician took the matter in charge, and it was understood that when tho necessary 1,000,000 had been collected they were to be hauded over by his wife to a friend, who was to give them to another friend, who was to give them to a third, who knew some ono who would arrange with some body else for the old lady's in:il reception. The craze spread bo far that packages of stamps arrived by every mail from 2Cew York, Washington, Chicago and Eost-on. Little schoolgirls and fashionable joung women vied with each other in their cagernes3 to aid this good work, and half the requisite number had actually U.en scraped together before it began to dawn on people's minds that the only possible u?e that any '"home" could make of 1,000,000 stamps would be to sell them for old paper. Then an enterprising Philadelphia reporter undertook to hunt up the old. lady, whoso name was Petirman, and having found her, had the pleasure of hearing from her own lips that she had no idea of going into any institution at oil Harper's Young People Op-Town - Jevelery - Store.
