Hall on Wednesday evening, July 11th. Everybody is invited. By order of committee. Word wis received on the 5th from Messi-s. John Bauer, jr., Fritz Kbiuger, CI us Lau, the three young men who left here some time ago for Germany, that they had arrived in New York city safely and would start from there immediately. A switchman working in tlie yards at Pacific Junction yesterday met with a severe accident while f-tepping on a step attached to a locomotive while the loco motive was in motion. Dr. It. It. Liv ingston, Jr., of this city, was called to his aid, and found that his light leg had been crushed so badly that amputation was necessary, and the limb was severed near the knee. An error appeared Saturday in the local which stated that the base ball club of this city would play a game of base ball with the Fort Omaha team on Wed nesday next. Through a misunderstand ing a wrong date was given, and the game will not be played until Friday. The members of the soldier's club are nearly all lieutenants, and it is reported that they make a strong team. More in terest is being taken in this great panic by the citizens of late since they realize the fact that they have a club in their midst which will surely work its way in to prominence in a short time. A man put in an appearance on the streets yesterday, who apparently could easily pull the scales up to a 240 pound mark, anl made inquiries of several citizens who were standing in the vicinity of the Kiddle house as to who the best policeman w as. On being asked why he should ask such questions, he replied: " Well, I am a stranger among you, and if a policeman does not arrest me, I may do some body some harm. T am a mighty powerful man and am not safe to be in a community where I would have my chance of Ix-ing insulted. I am a bad man, and don't care who knows it. ho the ln-st thing you can do. gentlemen, is to have mc arrested." lie talked in th) same style until the first train came along, when he took hi. departure, leaying the tremb ling men to look aft it the would be murderer and remark: "What a pow erful man." C. E. Alverson, who fell from a third tory window in the (ions house last Wednesday, made his first appearance on the street yesterday since the ncccidcnt. He does not walk with much elasticity to be sure, but when we consider the drop ht took to himself of about sixty feet, we think him fortunate enough eyon with his life if he is crippled, for life, which he will not be. TheCJoos house apparently is trying to hold its own with the Perkins house and even in the way of a similar accident. A col ored man can. be seen on the streets fre quently who is at present disabled, hi liinln being paralyzed on one side, but not unable to walk about the city, who realized a similar experience. One night he fell from a third story window of the Perkins house, but he was more unfortun ate than the man we spoke of before. He dropped himself in such a position that he rcceiyed injuries which will re mind him of the accident during his en tire lifetime. It is thought if cither of the two men had been conscious of their fail that it would certainly have killed them, but as they were both in an uncon cious condition at the time, they made no efforts to save themselves and drop ped like rags to the ground. All who look at the place where Alverson fell, seem amazed and wonder how a person could possibly drop into such a place and such a distance without being killed in stantly. The window opens into a nar row alley-way scarcely large enough to admit of a person's body across it. Several bricks lay in about the spot he dropped and also a box which he must have struck. No bones were broken and he now feels as strong as ever if it were not for soreness and a lame back. Any one else could fall from the same place and count for himself bout one chance in a hundred of savingiis neck. The Great Banquet. A committee of the youug ladies of the Young Ladies Heading Koom Association have been yery successful in' their can vass for assistance in furnishing the sup per for the Republican Banquet on the night of Thursday, the 12th, at the Wat erman opera house. The republican club has allowed them that privilege, know ing their elliciency in such an undertak ing as this will not be their first exper ience in transacting similar business with these ladies and each time they gave per fect satisfaction. The young ladies are always industrious and always have an eye open to business in the interest of their society, which has gained for itself a wide reputation as a convenient public institution which has for some time been very beneficial to the citizens in furnish ing reading'matter of all kind-;. The republican club has made great preparationsjiccording to th'.-ir anticipa tions and an event such as was never be fore known in the history of the club and Plattsmouth will be the result of this great festival. The most prominent speakers of the state have been engaged by the club, and among them John M. Thurston, who re cently took an active part in the conven tion at Chicago and who will be ready, having a knowledge at present of the true standpoint of everything politically, to give many bright ideas or pointers which will be of interest to all. It is unnecessary to speak of his capability as a speaker here, for all readers have heard, heard of,or read of him as one of the leading orators of the west. He received strong applause and was spoken very highly of for his brilliant remarks while participating at the convention in Chica go a short time ago. A dozen or so of almost as popular men will ba present, and it is a forgone conclusion that the opera house will be filled to its utmost capacity from the immediate viciuity aad abroad. A full programme will be given before the evening of the 12th, so that all will feel quite confident that the fes tival will be the scene of as great jubi lation as we bespeak for it. Appended we give the names of some of the promi nent speakers from abroad who are to take part in the evening's entertainment: Hon. John M. Thurston, Hon. O. P. Mason, Hon. J. C. Watson, Hon. J. li. Strode, Hon. John C. Cowan, Hon. John Y. Stone, lion. J. G. Tait, Hon. T. M. Marquett. Full particulars will be given later. PERSONALS. Judge Chapman went to Lincoln to day. Kobt.

The members of the Young Men's Ke publican Club are requested to meet at the court house tonight, as business of importance is to be transacted. Every body come. Meeting at 8 o'clock, sharp. The banquet committees will report to night. John A. Daviks, President. A gentleman who is popular in the city, but not as a singer, made his debut Saturday night and entertained many of his friends admirably. It :s reported that he was not conscious of his talents vocally until about three years ago, and since that time he has been taking in structions in voice culture. Judging by the coarse tone he now is capable of pro ducing, his tutor used a plow iu cultivat ing it, aud did not sand-paper it quite as fine as he should. In his first attempt to entertain his friends in that way he was quite successful, and could be heard un til a late hour speaking the musical tones so loud that every window within a mile of Main street was raised, the citizens thinking some one was giving a fire alarm. George P: had better spend about another term and then he may con fidently expect us to give his full name as an artist. lie has succeeded in culti vating the power.

Send your job work to the Herald Office. Mr. Charles Ellis, who has suffered from the effects of sunstrokes a couple of times during the last few days, and who was reported dead yesterday from the last attack, was seen on the streets this morning. lie received the first stroke while at Cedar Cr.-ek last Friday, after walking some distance on the railroad track, and was brought home safely. Sat urday afternoon his ambition would not be subdued from the effects and loss of strength, and he came out again while the sun was high and the day very warm. He was advised by everybody to go home and keep out of the heat as much as pos sible, which he paid little or no attention to. After he was satisfied he had seen enough of the city for one day, he started for his home which is situated on Washington avenue. He walked along apparently all right until he was about opposite the residence of Mr. John Way man, where he was again attacked and dropped to the ground. People living in that vicinity soon came to his assis tance, and as soon as a vehicle could be ordered to the spot he was taken to his home. At the time it was supposed he would not live many minutes, which no doubt started the rumor that he was dead. Judging by his actions in coming out again in the heat of the day, the shocks must be light ones and some enjoyment must be realized from them by him. lie has been unfortunate for some time, hav ing been a victim at the time one f the Pinkerton police shot two men, receiving a severe cut in the face which he was some lime recovering from.

He is a "hunter for fortune deserted men," said a lounger at Dolmonieo's, pointing to a stylishly dressed middle aged man who was seated at the table, engaged in an earnest conversation with a young clubman who Is known to have about got through with what was once a handsome fortune. The "hunter of fortune deserted individuals" appears to bo a position that has recently been created by several large life insurance companies. It is his business to go about the clubs and up town resorts and seek out men who have en joyed wealth and have become financially stranded. Being a frequenter of all the clubs, it is eas' for him to find out the condition of his associates. When he discovers a young man who has gonethrongh with a fortuno by lieing a good fellow, he otters him a iositio:i in the insurance company. "Now, you have no money left to live on," he will argue to the unfortunate, "and I can put you in the way of making a handsome in come in a gentlemanly way; otherwise, I suppose, 'u may have to dciend on liorrow ing money from your friends. By Incoming an agent of my company you can go to a friend and instead of negotiating a loan you can ask him to let you insure his life, on which you will get a handsomo commission. Nine cases out of ten the man approached will go into the scheme. They are in that condition that they are glad to accept any respectable occupation, and an occupation of this kind need only be known to their friend. They usually go to work with a vim and ac complish in a week what an ordinary insur ance agent could not achieve in two months. As most of thr a 'associates are wealthy they are usually very "glad to accommodate their friend by giving him a small policy on their lives, and in addition they rather admire his pluck. But they would have as readily loan ed him that much money, although they knew they would never get any equivalent. In about a month or two these agents usually play out and they are instantly dropped by the insurance company, which comes out at the big end of the horn. New York World. To Keep a Dpilroom Coot. "Let mo tell 3 011 how to make j-our bed room delightfully cool, even in the hottest weather," said a model housekeeier the other day. "Of course here in Chicago torrid nights arc such an exception that you will not be compiled to try the experiment often, but then it is well to have it in mind. Well, when the heat becomes intolerable, take a couple of pounds of ice, break it into frag ments ami put these into a sack. Raise your window, tie a string to the sack and let it dally with the breezes, if any there be. In side of ten minutes tho temperature of the room will 1 sensibly lowered and you can sleep like a top. Of course it will be neces eary to put a pan beneath the sack to catch the drippings. Thus, at a slight expense, a good night's r&t is insured." Chicago Tribune. The Latest Fashionable Whim. The "secret honey moon" is described as the latest whim of New York society. The groom leaves the route of the wedding journey en tirely with tho best man. Neither he nor the bride has the least idea where the honey moon is to be spent until he enters the steamer or train and opens an envelope, which de scribes the route and explains that all hotel arrangements and other details have been, attended to.

AN INDIAN AT SEA, Iced Shlrt'a View on the Sunny and Shady Sides of m Voyage. One of the band of Indians with Buffalo Bill's show has for a chief a brainy old fel low known as Red Shirt. He has an original manner of thought and expression, which makes him a constant source of amusement to thoso with whom he comes in contact. For two days after the great show sailed away from New York for England last year they had a sea as smooth aa gloss. On tho evening of tho second day old Red Shirt called a pow wow in one of the cabins, where he proceeded to "chin chin" about the great voyage. Among other things ho Baid that the mighty works of tho white man continued to fix wonder in his brain and still tho vio lent beatings of his heart. "Thoy are a great people," said ho, "and this last evidence that wo have of it here on this mighty tcpeo (boat) is greater than all all others. Tho giant river (ocean) which we have known about as a tradition of tho old men has become to us now a known and ac tual thing. Down in the bowels of this giant tepee tho white man has placed his miracu lous efigiuo that eats wood and drinks water and spits fire and smoke and fog, but goes whirling round and round its paddles to move this great mass of wood and Iron. Wo know that we are safe in tho white man's company, because ho goes with us, and ho has been over the mighty river many times before. But it Is all so wonderful that it seems like a beautiful dream." The next day was dark, cloudy and finally stormy. It was three days before Old Red Shirt crawled out of his bunk and summoned his warriors to another council. This time they were a sick looking lot. Not ono of them had escaped the horrors of seasickness, and, although they endeavored with stoical Indian fortitude to "bruce up," tho evidences of their unhappiness wero as plain as the signs of debauch on a man who has been on a long spree. Old Red Shirt shook his head sadly as ho began to talk to the braves. His first sentence might have been almost liter ally translated, "These bo perilous times." lie continued in something of this strain ia lugubrious and melancholy tones: "This has been a trouble to try our manhood and our nerves. The sky was black, and tho waters were dark, and tho great waves rolled, and wo were sick like women. Ugh! The big tepeo must have taken firo water in its bow els and become liko a drunken man. Ughl It pitched up and down like a bucking horse. Ughl It was no longer a beautiful dream, but what tho white man calls a night horse. It was a foul, bad dream." New York Tribune. A Vender of Bread Fills. The odd shifts to which men who havo bo come recruits in the ranks of poverty resort to get a living are worth perhaps passing no lice. "Ono half tho world does not know how the other half lives" might be with jus tice altered to "gets its living." How some people, living in good style, get that living is often a mystery to their neighbors, but the dodges among tho wreckage of the profes sional and trading classes are extensive and peculiar. William Jones, when I first knew him, was a commercial traveler, making from 000 to 700 a year. Through his own folly he lost his situation, and then lived "how he could." On one occasion, during a drinking bout in the north of England, he jumped into the river and was rescued by some men working at a puddling furnace, and carried into the works. When ho camo to himself ho fancied ho was in the infernal regions, and this so horrified him that it brought 011 an attack of brain fever. He drifted in duo conrse'to a London slum, and when he was on the brink of starvation he remembered tho old opera in which he had seen Dr. Dulcamara. He got an old college cap, rolled up a bit of bread into pills, sprinkled them with flour, and went out and sold them, screwed up in a bit of paper, half a dozen for a penny, proclaiming them to be an absolute and certain cure for almost every disease under the sun. Having the gift of the gab, he soon got an audience, and he sold his pills out in half an hour. He then went home and mado some more pills and did equally welL In a few months he had established himself as a great medical authority, and marvelous cures were related of his wonderful pills. He did so well at tho "game" that he earned enough money to take to dissipation again, and having ruined his health ho is now in the workhouse. Georgo R. Sims' London Letter in Philadel phia Times. Trick of a Minor Actress. Something amusingly tricky was accom plished by a minor actress in the Wallack company last winter. Tho final season of that now disbanded organization was drag ging along, with very frequent changes of bill from ono old comedy to another. This actress had been out of the casts for a month, and was very anxious to get before the public again, which she knew she would do if "She Stoops to Conquer" were revived, but not otherwise. One day she was sad dened to hear the stage manager say that tho piece would probably not be reproduced at all. That meant further seclusion for her and possibly no appearance at all before the disintegration of the company. At this juncture her wits devised a scheme. Sha en listed a score of her friends, men and women not connected with the stage, and induced them to serve her purposa. - Next day a well dressed lady went to tho ticket oflice, asked for two seats for one night of tho next week, and remarked: "These are for 'She Stoops to Conquer r" "No," the treasurer replied. "I believe 'lEoney' is to continued." "Oh, then I don't wont these seats. I will wait until 'She Stoops to Conquer' is pro duced." A dialogue of something like tho same pur port, but in different language, was re peated twenty times within a week. The treasurer told tho management of this strong demand for "Sho Stoops to Conquer." No doubt of the honesty of these requests was raised, and they were construed as indicating a general fashionable curiosity as to that comedy. Therefore, it was put into immedi ate rehearsal, and the ingenious actress had the pleasure of facing the footlights again, whatever may have been the pecuniary re sult to the theatre.

The female employes of the government printing office and the bureau of engraving at Washington do all kinds of work, dirty aa well as clean.

The undersigned coal dealers, doing business in the city of Plattsmouth, deem it to the best interests of the public, as well as of the dealers, to sell coal strictly and exclusively for cah. Coal is a commodity that is, and should be, sold on a very close margin, too small, in fact, for the dealers to trust to the de lays and uncertainties of collections. The dealers are required to pay spot cash for coal. The credit system entails a serious loss each season, by reason of the amount of bad debts necessary to be charged off to profit and loss, n;id in the additional expense required for book keepers, collectors, etc. By dispensing with the above formid able items of expense, dealers can afford to sell coal at lower prices, and they feel assured that this will commend itself to the thinking public. For Ihe above reasons, therefore, the coal dealers have decided to sell for cash only, ON AND A FT Ell JCLY 11, 1 ijSS. This means just what it says. Timothy Clark. tf II. A. Watkrmax & Son.
