The burlier shop at the Riddle house
will be ready for business tomorrow morn
ing. One of tlie barbers is already here

any time.
The rain Saturday afternoon was
perhaps the hardest one of the season.
S:veral bridg-js throughout the country
have been reported as considerably dam
aged and soma even washed entirely away
by the large amount of water flowing
down the streams.
All county offices will be closed on
"WednesJay, decoration day. This is a le
gal holidsy and business could not be
transacted besides the couuty officers
want to show their respect for the holl
ered dead and and will refrain from all
business that is not in keeping with the
day.
.lav Mansfield, of AVahoo. the new
j ,
barber for the Kiddle House barber shop,
arrived in th city last night. Wc have
known Mr. Mansfield for a number f
years and can recommend him to the
citizen f Plattsmouth as a straight for
ward, encrgct'C young man. a good bar
ber and a gentleman in the fullest sense
of the word. And as such we heartily
welcome hira among us and hope that
his stay here may be both pleasant and
profitable.
The Kansas City trains were consid
erably delayed yesterday on account of
large washouts on each side of St. Joseph,
caused by the heavy rains of last Satur
day. We are informed that about two
miles of track is washed oat on this side
of St. Joseph and about 2,000 fctt on the
other side. The trains from Kansas City
ar-s run around by Creston, Towa, and up
on the main line of the C. B. & Q. to Pa
cific Junction, making quite around about
road and delaying the trains for several
hours.
We haye received a pamphlet from
the Wabash and Western Railroad Co.
announcing the Twenty-fifth National
festival of the North American Sanger
buud to be held in St. Louis June 13th
to ICth. $0,000 have been guaranteed
by the people of St. Louis for the enter
tainment of. those who will be ia attend
ance at this grandest of all musical gath
ering The best musical talent of
North America will be in attendance
and any lover of good music can hardly
afford to miss this meeting of the great
est of musicians. The Wabash & Western
Railroad will sell tickets at ons fare for
the round trip.
Saunders county is now jubilant over
the honor that has just bsen conferred
upon her by the State Dental Association
in selecting Wahoo as the place where the
next meeting is to be held. The whole
city is patting Dr. J. J. Willey, the chief
mover of the selection, on the shoulders
for his good work in securing the honor
for Wahoo. So proud are they over the
selection that already have they bosun to
make arrangements for the meeting which
is to be held there next May, by securing
the Masonic hall for the use of the nsso
ciation. By the way, what's the matter
with Plattsmouth advertising her beauty
by securing some of these associations to
meet with her. It's a good advertise
meut for a city. .
We are in receiot of a souvenir of
the National. Democratic convention at
St. Louis June 5th, containing portraits
of distinguished Democratic statrsmen
and Cleveland, both living aud dead, is
sued by the passenger department of the
Wabash and Western railroad. The por
traits are all good, bat it is rather a mys
tery to us why they wanted to put in por
traits of the dead, well knowing that tt e
St. Louis convention would be the f unera
of the entire Democratic party and that
thereafter all distinguished Democratic
statesmen would be classed among the
dead. The Wabash and Western railroad
r;n Ca11 ticket to the National Demo
ral at one fare for the round
trip. This will perhaps be the largest
funeral ever held in the United States and
all who desire to have the honor attend
ing such a funeral . suouiu avau mem
.selves of this excellent opportunity.
Memorial Day.
Decoration day is fast becoming one
of the greatest holiday of the nation.
Only a few year ago it was scarcely
thought of except in the larger cities;
but today every city and in fact almost
every person in the United States is stirred
with such demonstrations of respect that
they are compelled to turn an attentive
ear aud do honor to the braye dead who
fought and died for the preservation of
TTninn nnl for the freedom of her
people. These are but fitting demonstra
tions of honor for these noble dead. And
although they may not do the dead any
good they can do no harm and it will do
tho living good to show their greatful
rememberance and appreciation for what
these noble heroes have done for their
edification. We hope to see this day
continue to grow in favor uutil every
hill, valley and mountain shall rebound
to the glorious cry of freedom and union
for ever and inseparable.

"Ve have been informed by persons
iu a position to know, ahat at least two
thirds of the corn planted during the
first part of the mouth will have to be
replanted. This is due to, the cobl wet
weather rotting the corn before it could
sprout. It leaves many of the farmers in
a rather bad shape as they are late with
their crops any way and now to be com
pelled to replant what they ha've already
ni.nt.,1 innkM it much worse and in
fact looks a little discouraging.

Stars That Waltz.
When a planet is perturbed some other
heavenly body is surely pulling it, which
explains the eccentricity of the earth's
orbit and also the curious zigzag motion
of the star Sirius. Some great body is
pulling it, and that body was discovered
by Alvin Clark's great telescope. The
strangest discovery of tho spectroscope
was that it could tell whether a star is
approacliing the earth or retreating from
it. It was found fifteen years ago tliat
Sirius was departing at the rate of
twenty-nine miles a second. This rate
kept diminishing, and now the star is ap
proaching at the rate of twenty-one miles
a second. The only hypothesis tenable is
that tliis planet discovered by Alvin
Clark's telescope is large in size, but low
in temperature, and that Sirius is really
a double star. In fact, the two stars are
actually waltzing with each other in
space, making a curious zigzag move
ment through their influence of each
other. That is the latest discovery of the
curious results of motion. Dr. S. I v.
Calthrop.
Superstitions of the Pueblos.
The Pueblos commonly called In
dians, but really descendants of the an
cient Aztecs have numerous supersti
tions. The eagle is a sacred bird with
them tho winged throne of their em
peror god, Montezuma, for whose prom
ised second advent they still patiently
wait. In any of the Pueblo cities you
will find the great dark eagles, either
tethered upon the housetops or penned in
little corrals of cedar, and religiously
tended. The Pueblo hunter always has
marvelous luck, if he carries with him a
tiny stone image of a coyote with a tiny
arrowhead lashed to its side. Though
nominally converted to Catholicism, the
Pueblos are 6 till secret but ardent fire
worshipers. Tho snake, too, is sacred to
them, and you will find its symbolic coils
in their rock sculptures and on their
quaint silver jewelry. New Mexico Cor.

The meeting of the Young Men's
Christian Association yesterday was not
very well attended from some cause which
we are unable to give, unless it be that it
was because it was such a beautiful day
for walking. But this seems to be rather
too poor an excuse to offer. We know
of do more pleasurable place to walk than
to a good devotional meeting of any
kind. And it does seem that the mem
bers of the different churches should
avail themselves of every opportunity to
enceurage this organization; especially so
if they are interested in the building up
of their own church. The Young Men's
Christian Association, if properly con
ducted, will adel more members to all the
churches in the city than all other
means combined. And one who looks
at its work with contempt because it
doesn't work entirely for his own denom
ination is short sighted and is not at all
acquainted with the work being accom
plished by this and similar organizations.
This association has a grand object be
fore it and can reach much farther yea.
twice as far as any church in tha city
after the fallen young men of our city.
Then why not encourage young men who
are striving to build up an association
here. It can do no one any harm and
muchgeod may be accomplished eyen
by our presence at these meetings.
