Mrs. Margaret Shaffer, of Des Moines, la . is the cucst of her niece, Miss Alice "Wilson. Mr. Homer Kohn and Miss Ann Butts, were united in marriage this after uoon by Judge Russell at his office. Mrs. Edith Cojlc, of Kansas City, cous in of Copt. L. D. Bennett, returned to her home this morning after a pleasant visit to her friend.-Jliere. The Chautauqua club gave a picnic last night at the residence of Mr. J. P. Young. A very pleasant time was had and a large number present. The contract for the engineering and inspection of the sewerage, paying and other work of the city was awarded to Rosewater and Christ?, of Omaha, by the council at their meeting last night. They nirreed to do the work for 4 of the cost of the work. This firm was recom mended to the council by the boaru of public works. The printing committee of the city council recommended that the Herald be awarded the printing for the ensuing year, last night, which was granted by the council. We arc thankful to the councilors for their kind consideration of the bids from the two offices in show ing their appreciation of honesty. The Herald is the official paper of the city. A email dodger has been circulated here todav by some agent of the Police (Jazttte. The following is printed in prominent type: "Out Thursday June 14. will illustrate the sad death of Jed Vance at Plattsmouth. Nebraskn, in attempting to save the life of his dog.

This merning fifty-four tickets were sold for Omaha and twelve for Bellevue, the attraction in Omaha being the Grl more concert ana at Uellevuc tne com- m?ncement exercises of the BJlevue col lege. We expected to see a large number drawn to Omaha to attend the concert but that number was a little beyond our anticipations. It is expected that as large a number or more will go this evening. Those who went this morning were most all ladies who wish to attend the matinpe which will be given this afternoon, lue young men who are obliged to work all day are obliged to remain over until they finish up their day's work and then let loose all their strong desires for a high time, which they generally succeed in having. Dancing. Mr. Editor: Dancing has been defin ed to be the shuffling of the feet to music. It is now classed by many among the po lite arts, and as a passport into the higher and more cultured circles of society. The gentleman or lady who has thoroughly cultivated his or her feet, is master of the situation, while the poor, awkward fel low who has sought to cultivate only his mind, and store it with useful informa tion, must stand in the back ground, and look on the brialliant ball room picture, nna wish, ana wisu again, that he was graceful that he could dance. Poor fellow! how he regrets that he squand cred so much of his valuable time in try ing to acquire an education, when it might haye been more profitably spent iii cultivating his lower extremities. All nations have danced. The ancients be- lieved that Castor and Pollux taught the art to the Lucednemonians. But whoever started it, it is pretty generally practiced. The people of olden times had the festal, the military and the b:echanali.in dances. and queens and lords swayed to and fro in the gardens to the sweet melody of music In some portions of our country, in what is known as the finywood region the young people meet together on Sat urday evenings, at some neighbor's house when the moon is in her full, and under the inspiring strains of the banjo and tamborine, they chase the hours with fly ing feet. Some people are so constituted thit they cannot help dancing when they hear music, they are spontaneous dancers born that way. Critic.

Plcnlo a Grand euccess The Street Cars to the Grounds Loaded Down. The Plattsmouth Ball Boys Beaten By One Score A Cood Came. Considerable excitement and amuse ment was the result of yesterday's sports. Larly in the morning, crowds were seen making preparations for the day, some having their baskets, filled with good things, at the place appointed for meet ing before going to the picnic grounds, some walking around the streets to see what others were doing, and a large num ber making their way for the ground which was to be the place for the day's ainusciacnts. The uncommonly heavy rain of the night before had worked the streets and road to the ground into an enormous mud puddle which discouraged some for the day, but others waded through and came to the front in good style. The Bohemian baud fur nished music to the citizens all the fore noon, invigorating the fun-loving people to their sense of duty and encouraged them to rustle their friends out who had net thought of the day as one of amuse ment. A few sports accompanied the base ball boys from Council Bluffs wh came in on the 10:30 tiain, and altogether swelled the crowd to an immense merry making throng. The base ball boys were all full of life with great anticipation on each side for victory. The Council Bluffs team probably thought two pic nics were in store for them and did not let thoughts of defeat worry them much. At least, we should judge so from the outlandish yelps which were so frequent ly heard from some of their number when they found that they were obliged to play ball to carry away the gate receipts instead of so easily walking away as they had at first anticipated. The street cars after eleven o'clock were crowded to their utmost capacity, and many took to livery stables and hired rigs, thinking it the most favorable opportunity of securing comfort and con venience. The street car men report it a better paying day than last decoration After all had secured transportation and reached the ground in safety, there was a good time followed as the result. A little dissatisfaction was noticeable on each side as the crowd divided, some wishing to see the base ball match and others desiring to participate with the picnicers. However, the crowd was di vided about equally. The people who loved their baskets best remained outside and indulged in the games usual at picnics, and all report ed having had a very pleasant day in that way. Refreshment stands had been erected on- the grounds, so the spend thrifts for the day had a chance to grat ify their desires in that way, while the admirers of the ball tossers proceeded to the ball grounds to witness the much talked of game. The players acquitted themselves, as far as playing, in profes sional style, but those who paid to see the game did not expect to have s much gibberish thrown in gratis. The game could not haye been much more exciting as the score through the entire game was aboat a tie and each side worked nobly for victory. About five hundred people witnessed the game and all claimed to have received full value of their money. From the seventh to the end of the twelfth inning the score stood five to five, and in the twelvth the Couucil Bluffs team wedged in a run, causing considerable excitement. Our boys, although they were defeated yesterday, leel quite satisfied over as much success on their part and have a desire to meet the Bluffers again. They were making inquiries about certain players of the Plattsmouth nine, ask ing if they all lived in the city. Yes, the boys are all here to stay, and should the Council Bluffs team ever turn up here again or send for the team here, they will always find them right here and ever ready to give them as strong, if not a stronger tussle than they did yesterday. We admit that they were champions in two ways yester day. If any of our boys would afempt to talk and make as much noise with ns little sense to it as their third base man did yesterday, the town would surely run them into the Missouri River, but as this was their first visit to the city, and not wishing to condemn the whole club on account of the perpetual jaw-motion which wa3 held upon the third corner of the diamond, the spectators let them off easy, but if some of the people present who bad a gun near by thought they had any chance of hitting the man in any other place than the trap door that swung from ear to ear, sc that it might take ef fect, they might have fired, but they all could see at a glance that each shot would be lost by firing into such a cav- ty. This man, it is said, has a national reputation as a loud talker, and we think he is worthy of it. If he was not report ed by the press wherever he played he could send the report himself. Both nines met after the game and everything went off smooth. They axe all the best of friends now, and even the umpire, who resides in this city, and the automatic man who played third, are the best of friends, if either of them know anything about tho game. The boys are all gen tlemen and all reported that they were never treated better anywhere than at Plattsmouth yesterday by our base ball boys. The following is the score : Plattsmouth. . .0 0 1 0 03 1 0 00 05 Council Bluffs. 0 100130000010 Base hits Plattsmouth, 0; Council Bluffs, 10. Errors Plattsmouth, 11; Council Bluffs, 4.

HOW THE NEW MEN SET VALVES Which May Interest Those Who Propose to be Way Up In This Business. l'ui tne reverse lever as lar north as possible, and place the engine in the back shop, if the lead opening in full year is to be more or less than a 1-16 inch, ad vance the forward truck till the point on the connecting rod is some distance away from the turn table. Throw the reverse lever in the tank, roll the driying wheels north, enough to take up the crown sheet, then roll them back to the forward truck, move the back-up eccentric till the steam chest cover comes off and strikes the same spot that it did for the forward motion. It will be noted here that the boiler, cow catcher, steam gauge and lazy cock occupies the same position for fore and back motion as when the engine is on the road. Get the reverse lever in the north notch again and jack the wheels up until the sand box leaks. Now tram the throttle lever again and if the smoke stack remains the same as when Robert Stephenson improved it, that part is all right. It is also a good plan to go over the work again and set the valves a sec ond time to prove their correctness, but it is not likely that the lead opening at the back end will be right on first trial. Instead of haying the correct lend, the valve will probably lap over the cow catcher, being what workmen call a blind. This indicates that the main rod is too long: we shorted the rod till the eagle on the headlight hollars, and on turning the engine to the forwardcenter again we find that we have there lost the valve, but our change has adjusted its movement so that on each center the fire door is just beginning to open. Adyance the eccentric to give one end 1-10 lead will now have the same effect upon the air brake, and assuming that the back motion has been subjected to a similar treatment with like results, the steaming capacity on both sides is right. This process must now be repeated on the other side, that is if you are not called upon at this time to go in the back yard and file old scrap. Another Victim. " In the spring a young man's thoughts turn to love," is an old saying which is familiar t us all. It is certainly a reality, as a large number of our Plattsmouth boys have thought seriously over this mattter. A few of them have remained at home and loved the Plattsmouth girls with all their might, but apparently,they are not all of them contented with the belles here, and some have branched out in different directions seeking for the girl of their heart, and some have returaedto fulfil old contracts which have been standing awaiting the great day when the final knot should be tied. Without ex perience, we cannot give our opinion as to the rationality of such a move, but ns it is the custom, and a great many appar ently made happy by it, we would advise the continuance ef it for that reason. A young man with whem a great many of you have had the pleasure of an acqaint dnce, however, has not doubted the rationality of marriage, and possessed of a bright smile the other evening, after a promise of a return in the near future to our city, took the flyer r.nd started 01 a iourney for New York, lie did not state whether he intended to find her in the city or take a survey of the state for her, but as his return was threatened shortly, it is not expected he will spend muck time in the search. Mr. E. L. Ruef is the gentleman we have reference to. and as he was quite particular about giving reasons for his departure, to " give him away, affords U3 great satisfaction. we are looking for his return with pleasure, thinking we will have a good citizen when he returns ana settles tlown 111 our midst.

Even the owls which howl at night give good advice to a young man who has not fully made up his mind on this matter and we give the following few lines as an illustration : TIIE BACUELOIt'8 INQUIRY.

The Boston woman is in need of a walking teacher. She has now about every sort of an instructor save in this matter of gait and car riage, and there she is singularly deficient. Strange as it may seem to the dear creatures who have turned their toes out in a dancing class from the age of 4 till they were old enough to graduate as rosebuds in society, not one or tnem Knows now to walk. Ob serve, if you please, the sloppy, hippity hop, the waddle and the bounce which character ize the gait of young women of the present day, and tell me if there is the least excuse for it.

But a "stage walk" in the street is simply dread ful, and the tragedy queen prance as much to be avoided- as the wiggle waggle of the bustle made girL It would be delightful could the coming generation strike the happy mean, and very likely it will, if the world once begins to appreciate that walking is an art to be cultivated, as it now cultivates a love for the beautiful and a taste for outdoor sports. Boston Herald. Curious Case ot Kleptomania. There died in New York city not long ago an old woman, who to hundreds of New Yorkers presented a grotesque figure. Ten or twelve years ago she was a popular lec turer, gifted with a strong though unpolished eloquence. For nearly two decades this cu rious woman lived a lonely life. After her retirement from the 'lecture platform she was wont to haunt daily the public libraries of the city, and this fact soon led to the dis covery that she was afflicted with klepto mania. Her character was quite above the theory of deliberate theft, and some of her few friends even now are ignorant of the shadow which hung over her. By reason of her constant visits she became a familiar figure, and an unmitigated nuisance to the librarians. She would enter a library, ap parently bent on rinding some extract of im portance. Volume after volume would be called for and consulted in vain, until finally a pile of thirty or forty books lay before her. Then she would give it up, and hasten out without even thanking the disgusted attend ant. Several times books were missed, but no one dared accuse her. One day, however, an attendant detected her as she made her exit with a val uable volume. He followed her home, and the next day when she appeared she was gently reminded of her absent mindedness. But she indignantly spurned the insinuation. and the affair went no further; though she ceased to visit that particular library. When she died a lartre collection of books was found in her house, each book bearing the stamp of the institution from which it had been taken. Many of them, too, were from private libraries, and those most closely guarded, tier skill ts a book thief must have tjoen xnsiderab'e. The volumes were all returned to their rightful owuers by her executors. rew iorkSun.

It is something they learn almost as soon as they can toddle. But their sing ing- would not be much fancied, I guess, by American parents.
