It has turned out just aa was ex
pected. American genius has triumphed
over railroad collisions. A western man
has invented what he calls an anti-railroad
collisioner. It consists of a rail
road track which is run oyer the tops of
the cars and passes down at either end
near eneugh to connect with the main
track, so that on meeting a train it that
is, the other train immediately runs up
the inclined track and passes over the
teps of the cars and down at the other
end in perfect safety. The sensations of
the passengers in both trains while this
is going on must be rapturously thrill
ing, to say the least. All that is needed
now to make the thing complete is an
automatic derrick which will hoist trains
over rivers and chasms when the bridges
break down. Ex.

Reorganize for Gas.
Some of our citizens talk of organizing
the natural gas project, which we hope
to see done at once. By examining a
sectional map it will readily be seen that
Plattsmouth is exactly on an angle of
45 with Jefferson, Iowa, where such a
rich flow of gas was discovered recently
and is now in operation. A letter writ
ten from Jefferson City, under date of
Jan. 5, '88, and shown to us by a citizen
of Plattsmouth, speaks as follow
"There has been no steps taken here for
deep boring. All that has been done so
far is at the depth of from 70 to 90 feet.
In many cases the flow of gas was very
fine and quality good. The trouble en
countered by all so far, is this, they put
down a small hole (2 inch) and the force
of the gas when reached throws the sand
up into the casing and packs it so tightly
that we find it necessary to use the drill
in order to clean the hole again. After
the whole is cleaned the gas comes as
freely as ever." From what we have
read the most common rules for locating
a well is to have it on or near the 45 de
gree line. The 45 theory is one of the
best known, and perhaps generally ac
cepted theories held in regard to the oil
or gas belt. It is thus the gas belt in
general and also the pools of the differ
ent gas and oil fields run along a 45
line, i. e., a line running half way be
tween the north and cast and. south and
west points, or, in other words, a line
running north-west and south-east, as it
may be seen by the map. This is, in
general, the direction of the great gas
and oil belts and is claimed that the
oil and gas fields run in the same direc
tion, north-east and south-west, so in lo
cating wells, many seek to have them as
near as possible on a 45 line drawn
through some already finished and good
well. Let tho?e who are interestod in
this matter refer to the map and be con
vinced that we are on the 45 angle,
and let our citizens awake and be up and
doing. Now is the accepted time. H
Church vs. 8aloon.
The spirit of the Christian church and
the spirit of the saloon are eternally un
like and antagonistic.
Ope builds up, the other tears down.
One schools for heaven, the other educates
for hell. One brings health and respect
ability, the other disease and disgrace.
One gives present joy and glowing hope,
the other destroys self-respect and shrowds
the future'in unmittigated darkness.
With these contradictory elements in
our midst; with such overwhelming, di
verging tendencies, is it not passing
strange that a man can be found possess
ed of the least spark of virtue who will
not summon every power of his being to
fight this plutonic monster, this arch cue
my of God and man, the saloon ?
Only a few days ago a young man, per
haps about twenty years old, walked in
to a saloon at midday, and without ap
parent shame.
This may not be an unusual sight, per
haps? O, no! But this young man has
"gravitated" from the Sunday school-
not "graduated," for that means going
higher instead of treading the downward
road.
He used to be a constant attendant of
a church Sunday school !
In his case is exemplified'the descend
ing progress the mixed conditions o
church and saloons "Suiiday schools for
boys," the "saloons for men!"
As the young man goes forth to mingle
with his fellow citizens these yawning
caverns await him at every turn, and in
carnate eminissaries with hell's most sub
tie palayer seek at once to blot out his
self-respect, and annihiate his manhood
"Jesus came to seek and to save the
lost." My Christian brother when you
vote to "sow these tares are you seeking
to save the lost?" Or do you strike hand
with those who strive to "lose the saved
or those for whom all heaven is interest etl
to save?"
If these destructiye "Tares" must cxis
let it be by the devil's sowing, not o
your sowing.
Saloons have no just right to exist, ant
under no pretext should a Christian com
munity furnish the shadow of approval
No good can coaie of evil. Truth
never indebted to a lie. No man is ex
cused for doing evil, under the pretext
that good may come.
This is an "irrepressible conflict" and
no siuister or partisan consideration
should be thought of for an instant, to
debar direct action to destroy the saloon
and its power. Neivs.
The illustrious five, together with
their wives, viz: Dr. R. R. Livingston
and wife, F. E. White and wife, Geo. E.
Smith and wife, of Omaha; A. W. Mc
Laughlin and wife, and J. B. Strode, of
Lincoln, have formed a society among
themselves. The object of which is to
celebrate each of their respective birth
days. The one whose birthday is to be
celebrated prepares an elegant banquet,
and the members of the society are in at-
Undence and leave many valuable pres
ents as a memento of the event. Last
night was the forty-second birthday of
Geo. E. Smith, of Omaha. The members
were all present but A. W. McLaughlin
and wife. Dr. R. R. Livingston reports
a very pleasant time and informs us that
the next banquet will be held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. White on the
evening of January 20.
The Y. L. R. R. A. ball was a grand
success and a brilliant affair. Perhaps
a more pleasant time was never enjoyed
by that who step the light fantastic,
than those of last night. The young la
dies exhibited their ability of manage
ment, while the young gentlemen were
left as wall flowers. There were from
seventy-five to eighty couple participating
in the dance, and seventy-one couple
in the grand march, with two hundred
spectators in the gallery. The music was
excellent, the supper immense, and all in
all the affair was one long to be remem
bered. The order was first class, and the
ball is highly spoken of by all as being
well conducted.
A woman claiming to have purchas
ed a ticket at Omaha for Memphis, Tcnn.,
and to have lost it after getting on the
cars, was put off the train at this place
last night. She applied to a citizen of
Plattsmouth to show her the hotel, then
changed her mind and asked to be di
rected to the telegraph office. While on
their way to the latter place the night
policeman came on the scene, and s id
citizen gave him charge. After more
thorough search the ticket was found.
She had put it away too carefully, and
had probably indulged too freely in bit
ters.
A meeting of the members of Cob
web hall will be held next Monday even
ing at their room: for the election of of
fiers and assessment of dues.
