Yesterday afternoon occurred a dia-

number of men were in the room and
it seems a dispute arose between Alex A.
Dubinski and Frank Busche, who runs
the Cedar Creek quarries, which lead to
a quarrel and fight in which Dubinski
knocked Busche down and then struck
him across the eye with a beer bottle, in
Dieting a bad wound and a large piece
of glass was forced in abvve the eye.
Lewis Dagendofer, who was present (and
from the evidence) came to the rescue of
Busche, when Charley Kinser struck him
on the right check, brusing his face bad
ly. This was between three and four
o'clock in the afternoon and Marshal
Malick was sooa at hand and tok Du
binski and Busche and several witnesses
to Judge Mathews' court where ahearing
was immediately had and Dubinski was
fined $30 and costs, which altogether
will amount to about $02.35. Marshal
Malick then made a warrant out against
Charley Kinser, who had escaped arrest
and later in the evening he was arrested
by Johnnie Fitzpatrick and Jack O'Neil.
but meanwhile Dubinski induced the
marshal to take him up town to trv and
get bail, and they went to Julius Pepper-
berg's, where Dubinski had been em
ployed. Here a number of fellows gath
ered around and the prisoner escaped
and Marshal Malick discovered it just in
time to see him turning north by the
Sherwood blobk and immediately gave
chase. Dubinski ran down Vine street
past the IIeuali olliee and was turning
the corner on Sixth street when he halted
at the marshal's command, although the
marshal was a block behind. The pris
oner was again taken to jail and wil
probablo serve out his fine.
Charley Kinser's trial came olT this
morning and he plead guilty to a charge
of assault and battery and was fined $23
and costs and not being able to pay was
acht to jail.
A Bomb Joke
Last evening about five o'clock as J
W. Cutright of the Journal was going
to the room occupied by himself and Dr.
Cook in the Dovey block he noticed .a
suspicious looking object lying in the
hall just before the door. He picked it
up and found it to be something wrappet
in paper. He unrolled it and found it
to be a bomb-looking instrument w ith a
fuse attached. The alarm was given and
friands gathered to look at the awfu
thing and wonder at the narrow escape,
and an examination disclosed the fact
that it was a fuel log and the fuse was a
carpet rag. Many suggestions were made
as to the purpose, etc., of the bomb and
the excitement was dying out when
another bomb was found in the room,
this one mape of gas pipe, and is said to
have had a real fuse in it and stuffed
with cotton. About the time of the
finding of the second bomb the first is
said to have mysteriously disappeared
and no trace of it can be found.
Lucky for the finder ad all in the
building neither the cotton nor the wire
ot fuel log would explode and as they
are probably as dangerous as will ever
be found in Plattsmouth, ur city will
ev r continue to boom and grow and her
name will be immortal on account of her
prosperity and harmless anarchists.

DOMESTIC TRAINING.
COMPARATIVE MERITS OF AMERICAN
AND ENGLISH GIRLS.
Died
Jonxsox On Friday, Nov. 25th, of
cholera infantum, infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. Austin Johnson, near Plattsmouth,
aged one month and six days.
"Ah ! there is a filent tomb
In a lonf ly jrrave-yard made.
And beneath that silent tomb
A lowly form is laid.

To our d irliDg here below,
Tnen an angel plucked the fair bio on
Jcaui loved and took. Bernard home."
Gowl K fleet of the bocial Intercourse
That I'revall Between tho People of
ThU Country and England ICugllnu
Girls' Home Life.
Tho comparative merits of American und
English tfirLs have been of late frequently dis
cussed. Advocates of each nationality havo
made many good points, and victory cannot
honestly bo said to havo been won by either.
There can be littlo doubt that the largely i -creased
and close social intercourse that now
prevails Lotween the peoples of this country
and of England has had the effect of obliter
ating many of the strongly marked differ
ences of their daughters.
English girls have caught something of the
brightness, the case and the self reliance
which have made certain American ladies
who have married Englishmen take rank us
favorites almost, indeed, as leaders in Ijoii
don society. And even those Englishwomen
who have not succeeded i: imitating, or huv
not sought to imitate, will be generally found
willing to admit the charm of the imoited
style. American girls, on the other hand,
have not been slow to borrow ideas from
their English cousins. We have only to look
at our girls' tailor made gowns, their "com
mon sense shoes, their round hats mid their
ulsters and Newmarket coats, to see how
much they owe in warm and sensible modes
of dress to English fashions. Then, too,
English out door games, jwrtioularly lawn
tennis, have become very fashionable here,
and their good effect is to be seen in th- im
proved health, the greater ease of movement,
and the rounded figures of our girls.
PLUMPNESS Or OUll GIRLS.
It was only about a year ago when a for
eign visitor to this country remarked that
one of the things that most impressed her
was tho plumpness of American girls. The
remark caused a great deal of astonishment,
for we had been so long accustomed to think
of the American type of lcauty as extremely
delicate and spirituello that we had not
recognized the change; that had been slowly
but surely effected. Any one who now walks
Broadway in the afternoon, and who is old
enough to remember the apj)earaiiee of its
feminine frequenters of leu years ago, can
scarcely fail to indorse the truth of the
foreigner "s observation.
I do not hesitate to say that there is on"
noteworthy and valuable resjiect in which I
believe English girls are suierior to Ameri
can girls. That resx.H.t is their ability to
conduct the affairs of their homes. This, of
course, is not an inherited ability, but is tb?
result of training and practice. I am not con
sidering the daughters of the farmers, but
those of mercantile and professional men. In
England, the custom is to train the girls to
relieve their mothers of many of the duties
of housekeeping. Among families where
there are several daughters, it is a common
practice to have each in turn take charge of
the house for a week or a month. I do not
assert that such a plan is never followed here,
but at tho most it is done with comparative
infrequeney. The system of living in board
ing houses lias in many instances mode it im
possible to instruct our city bred girls in
domestic duties, but happily the increased
facilities for suburban travel havo placed it
within the power of many heads of families
to secure homes of their owu.
TWO IMPORTANT REASONS.
Very probably tho daughters of wealthy
parents are slow to see why they should un
dergo any of the work ne.ssary to the learn
ing of how all the departments of household
economy should be run. There ore, however,
two important reasons for acquiring such
knowledge, One is the extreme vicissitudes
of fortune, characteristic of business life in
this country; and the other is the fact that if
tho mistress does not know when work is
projierly done, her servants, no matter how
good at tho start, will scon grow careless and
forgetful. In no other country in tho world
is there so much trouble with "help" as here.
Some of this js due to the ignorance of serv
ants who have had no previous experience;
but ixjssibly as much is due to the ignorance
of mistresses, who do not possess the knowl
edge that can give instruction or command
respect.
In England, no matter how wealthy tho
parents, he custom of giving the daughters
domestic training is usually observed. A re
cently published "Life of Queen Victoria"
states that after tho estate of Osborne had
been bought, "the lower portion of the Swiss
cottage was fitted up as a kitchen for the
young princesses, with pantry, closets, dairy
and larder, all as complete as jxssible, and
here these juvenile royal highnesses, dressed
a la cuisinierc, and with arms white with
flour, learned to make cakes and tarts and nil
sorts of plain dishes, to cook the vegetables
which they had themselves cultivated, to pi-e-scrve
fruit and to prepare different sorts of
pickles. In fact, they were trained to be
good English housewives." The example set
by the queen has permeated all the higher
classes.
The cooking schools recently started here
are steps iu the right direction. But cook
ing, though very important, is only a single
branch of the domestic duties. The other
can best be learnt at home. I am glad to
hear that the board of education in New
York city is considering the advisability of
giving instruction in sewing anil cooking to
the girls in the public schools.- Julian Mag

The entertainment held at the Rock
Creek Christian church on Thursday
evening, was thoroughly enjoyed by all
those present. The programme consisted
of music, recitations, singing, reading
etc. Miss Lulla Young rendered some
excellent selections on the organ, and
others some fine vocal selections. Those
who were fortunate enough to be present
was well repaid for the time spent in
istening to the exercises.
