AROUffO TOWN.
Facts Found in a Day' a Visit
Among the Business Men of
Plattsmoth.
Still on the move west we meet many
courteous and clever business men.
Amidst the clash and clatter of the
clerks, the rustling rumbling roar of talk
ers passing in and out from place to
place, we saw in the face of every one a
deep satisfaction of their existence in the
flourishing populace of Plattsmouth. The
prcambulating people that thrwng the
streets of our clamerous little city, are of
the right push to make Plattsmouth en
joy a boom at no distant day. One that
will make the surrounding sledges of
stone in the steep side hills shake and
quake. Plattsmouth is a Gem City a
sparkling jewel. But we are off our text
and must get back where we left off and
first mention Julius Pepperberg, the cigar
maker, where we found fifteen men
moulding leaf tobacco into fine flavored
cigars. Hundreds of these, perhaps thous
ands arc manufactered daily at their own
factory to supply the demands of hun
dreds and thousands of smokers. One
door west of Mr. Peperberg is O. P.
Smith & Co. drugs, wall paper, a fine
supply of Christinas goods now on hands.
Gault and Vasa watches, clocks & jewel
ery. M. B. Murphy dealer in staple &
fancy groceries, crockery, willow & wood
en ware, flour, feed and provisions. Mr.
Murphy located at Plattsmouth twenty
three years ago. At that time the red
man had control, and was monarch of
valley and plain, and few then to dispute
his rights. We called in at E. G. Dovey
& Sons' double mammoth stores where,
you can get anything you want in the
way of dry goods, notions and groceries.
F. S. White, dry goods, groceries and
qucen3ware. When we got into the
large furniture establishment of J.
Boeck, we are struck with profound awe
to see the piles and stocks of elegant
furni'ure. We are invited by Mr. Bocck
to step into the elevator and ascend to
the second floor and behold the hand
some upholstered chamber sets and sofas.
Once there we are amazed at their beauty.
Mr. Bocck has by far the mos'complete and
extensive stock of fine furniture in the
city. From Main st. we turn north on
Sixth st.', pass the National Bank, and
the first door north we make a pause,
and were confronted by the fact that T.
R. Thomas was opening a new meat
market, where he will be found with
fresh meats of all kinds in season. Next
is the Union Meat Market, then B. F.
Baumeister, groceries, provisions and
flour a good supply continually on hand
to meet with the demands of his large
trade. Across the 6treet we found I.
Pearl man opening out with his entire
stock of household furnishing goods
which he had removed from east Main
street. Continued tomorrow.
Chalk Talk.
At an early hour last evening the M.
E. church began filling with nn eager
audience to hear Mrs. Ellen A. Blair, the
National Organizer of the Juvinile De
partment of temperance.
2JBy the time of opening, the house was
well filled. The Juvaniles came march
ing in led by Miss May Cranmer, singing
a beautiful little temperance song. The
front scats hatl been previously vacated
and were giyen up to the little folks.
The meeting was opened with an impres
sive prayer by the Rev. Alexander and
song by the choir; then Mrs. S. A. Dayis
introduced Mrs. Blair. After a few ap-
prop-iate remarks Mrs. Blair began with
her charts, calling on the Juvinilcs who
responded very promptly to her questions.
Chart No. 1 illustrated the ammount ex
pended annually for different articles;
the liquor bill reaches the vast amount
of $900,000,000, and next in order, meat,
$600,000,000 while the third largest bill
for tobacco sums up $400,000,000 with
bread standing 4th at $300,000. - Fifth,
steel and iron a trifle less than bread, the
cotton and woolen goods down the scale
to educational expenditures which foot
up only to $85,000,000. The compensa
tion for clergymen is next tothe smallest
while home and foreign missions are at
the bottom. Any person has only to
compare these figures according to sta
tistics anel they will readily see the enor
mity of the one great plague, the liquor
traffic, that is cursing what might be
happy homes of our land. Chart No. .2
gave an illustration of tbe good shepherd
leading his flock ef sheep. Mrs. Blair
explained to the children how the good
shepherd cares for his sheep and that our
Heavenly Father cares for His people in
the same manner in which the good
shepherd cares for his sheep.
Space forbids us giving a detailed ac
of Mrs. Blair's talk. Suffice it to say her
lecture throughout was of extraordinary
interest and gave evidence of careful
thought and her winning and expressive
voice ere .tes a deep interest in all. Her
natural characteristic is to impress the
thoughts on the minds of the young
with the iuir o.ttncc of leading moral
and temperate lives.
