CITY CORDIALS Frank Carruth is reported sick to day. A new iron roof will bo put on the countj court house in a few days. Three or four stranjjers are lieinjj .'"shadowed" in this citj today. They will bi arrested tonight. Particulars to morrow. "Conscientiously Fpcaking," every member of the Stuart Co. act their part "conscious" of the well-merited applause they nightly receive. Word of prait e are heard on all sides concerning the ability and pleasuru de rived from witnessing the performances now being given by the Stuart Co., in this city. The spring examination of teachers when thwse successful, will receive a cer tificate of competency good for one year, will take p'ace in this city, Saturday, March 17. In addition to the amount received for admission t the Christian church Bociable last night, there was ten dollars that was subscribed before that event This makes tho total amount $ 0-1.70. The Frank Carruth Canning Co. of this city are getting tilings in readi ness for an early commencement in this line. In a few days they aill erect an engine house and a two-story addition at the rear of the present building. "Silence that bell." said Othello when he visited Cryprus. "V wish h could assume mortal form again and re peat the same words with authority to the bovs zoiu" around announcing the auction of Duke's hardware stock. It makes a person constipated to see columns of matter in a newspaper devoted to such subjects as "Why your feet ache,' "Why your head aches, "Why your heart aches." If those writers could free the world of poveriy, sorrow and in humanity, there would be an end to those complaints. J. B. Strode of Lincoln and M. A. Hartigan of thin city, have been retained as counsel in the suit of Mrs. Armstrong against Webber & Brecksnfeld and Fred Goos, liquor dealers and their bondsmen. It Is understood that a vigorous defense will be made. The plaintiff claims dam ages in the suni of $1,000 for selling liquor to her husband. M. A. Hartigan. aitorney for Sarah " Cole, of Weeping Water, brought two suits in the District Court on Tuesday. -One asrainst the Commercial Bank of Weeping Water for $600. The other against James M. Cole for tho sum of $1,000. A money judgitient is prayed in both case3. The sociable given by tho ladies of the Christian church last night was a re cherhe affair, highly appreciated, well at Mended, and a grand financial success, es pecially when we consider that the ad mission was only ten cents. Fifty-four dollars and seventy cents was receiyed by the committee as a reward for their unostenations and generous endeavors to promote the welfare of their church. "Give us the job!" No, 9ir! you rep resent free trade and advocate the idea in your paper that I should be free to go .anywhere and get my work done at the lowest price. I believe in protection, especially the protection of home indus tries, therefore. I have left my order with TnE Herald for 1,000 letter heads." This is an actual conversation that took place today in this city and needs no comment. It would be a good idea for the two young men who broke into the engine mom of the High school last Sunday afternoon, to go and pay the school authorities for the lock of the engine room door which they broke in their endeavor to imitate the actions of Vidocq, Claude Duval, Jack Sheppard and the other braves of dime novel journalism. Your name are known and you had better "square" this matter. The gentleman representing the sil verware house, made a rediculous bluff when ho would'nt pay the peddler's license fee, day before yesterday, and then plead guilty on his trial. The license costs ten dollars hi fine was twenty. .If he- had not plead guilty he could have appealed the case, althouah the validity of the ordinance was proved in a test case brought before the supreme court tome years ago by Mr. Bennett of this ciiy. While strolling around the city last night our reporter heard "strains of music that (he) never will forget." A lady was singing "Still so gently o'er tan stealing, memory Wings back the feel ing." Thsse words usually suggest thoughts of love. The last time tho writer heard them wa when marching past a murderer, whoso limp body was swaying backwards and forwards on the scaffold that was erected on an open plain. It wai a military execution, and the band played the above selection. CONCERNING CDUFUCIUS The "Joss House" of the Modern Chlorlde-of-Llme Manipulator. A peculiar and amusing pictorial con trast of paganism and Christianity, can be viewed in a corner of the rat hole usd as a laundry on Main street, and rented by a gentlemen bearing the cuphonius cognomen of Quong Lee. A wooden frame, that resembles those in use in bar ber shops, but minus the mirror.diana on the wall, and (lasted on the back are pieces of red paper, on which arc the us ual tea-chest inscriptions. In each cor ner at the top of the frame are some painted Chinese paper tig urea. The one on the left resembles a young fellow tak ing his sweetheart to Kural park. It is summer, and you hear the balmy bree7.es waft their spice-ladcn essence through the branches tral-a-la. In this scene there is a full-blown rose, as big as the figures, on which the gent is trying to seat the young lady. In the other corner aretwo gentlemen. One is Confucius, who is rep resented in the act of shaking hands with John L. Sullivan. On each side are arti cles that resemble red bullrushes with n Chinese nocturne in green, picturing Pha roah's daughter diving into a lot of red sand for a wax clones, in front or this deliriunijaro placed a lot of written spoil and potions, rolled up so as to remind one of the modern method of adjusting pins in a pad, when offered for sale, in stead of the old way of ailixing them in a length of paper. In the interstices of the roll of paper are stuck pieces of reed and very small red wax taper?, which have been burnt, and have the same drunken, demoralized appearance that an ordinary tallow candle has, when the wick leans over on one side and the per son carrying it keeps it at an angle of forty-five, degrees. On one side of this altar is an illustration of two young la dies peeping through a key-hole at anoth er lady standing deshabille in front of a mirror salvo pudore) admiring some ar ticle of wearing apparal. On tho other side is a Sunday School card on which is printed some pretty flowers, and the in scription, "Reward of Merit." Added to this conglomeration arc two kerosin lamps, which are kept burning, like the (fires of the Zorastorians, ninht and day. We do not presume to understand whether this form of wor ship will enable a Chinaman to reach the Kingdom of Ileayen, because although not physically equal to the Christian, still the heathen hJ civilize I ideas ages before Christianity was known, and Dr. Watts says: "If I was as tall to reach the pole, or mete the ocean with my span, I must bo measured by my soul, the mind the standard of the man." And we are certain from personal observation that the heathen worships "With a hoart asl'ncere as do you. Though nil temple is only tho forest. And It's coveting, heaven 'f deep hluo ; Though his altar pwrchanco has a victim And his ritos are al barbarous, too. And the fornix and legends he heedetu Are those that his forefathers knew." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Gen. Geo. S. Smith, of Omaha, was in the city last night. Mrs. Jessie Isabel, of Omaha is in the city visiting her father, Hon. Allen Becson. Mr. John Fink and wife of Arlington. Xeb., are visiting Mr. C. F. Whitney of this city. Uieodore JJiKline, ot Orleans, came in last evening to vl.it u few days with relatives and friends. B. K. Winham. brother of R. B. Wind ham, was in the city yesterday and invest ment in South Park Lots. Spring poems of Plattsmoth's pros perity arc rapidly approaching. Two houses have been erected the last few days near Eleventh and Pearl and a good many more in the suburbs of the city. The supreme court has given a de cision in a case where the holder of a liquor license was convicted of violation of the law pertaining to the sale of in toxicating liquors, that the mayor and city council were authorized and required to revoke the license; that no notice to the licensee of such proposed action was necessary; and that such revocation could be declared by resolution, and that the passage of an ordinance was not neces sary. Section 92, chapter 13, compiled statutes of 18S7, was held constitutional. The foregoing refers to one of the tea cases decided by Judge Chapman in the Lancaster district court at the last term, The saloon keepers of the capital city disputed the power of the city council to revoke a license under section 92 of the law governing cities of the second class and the supreme court, it appears, uphold the decision of Judge Chapman. As per announcement, the Plattsr mouth Glee club gave an entertainment in the Congregational church at Arling ton last Monday evening. This club has quite a reputation in the state, but their singing surpassed the expectation of our citizens, and should they ever visit our town again there will be a larger turnout to listen to them. The church was not packed, but it was as full as desirable for comfort. We heard but little of the singing, on account ol not being 11 able to j return home from Fremont . i..f - w i hour: but judging from what we aid hear and from expressions from otheri, . j I we pronounce the entertainment a grand 1 success The PeopWS Defender. . ' ' L&uisv.Co Locals Louisville is looking for a boom.

Our Sanskrit editor translates the above crack-jaw to read: "Honorary lieutenant-colonel of the Brazilian Army, the glorious St. Antony." The body of a man with such a name should be gal vanized and then everlastingly used for drilling artesian wells.
