We thank Mr. Chas. Sherman, son of
the proprietor of our local contemporary,
for his assistance in the office today. He

ing us that they were not very busy in

ed up a stick and started to work.
The Nebraska City Times, an even
ing paper of that city, which has been
issued as a daily for about three years
and a half, will, next Saturday, discon
tinue its publication as a daily, and in
the future will only appear aa a weekly,
the reason leiiig that it is not profitable
to run a daily paper in a weekly city.
Men are at work in the li. Si M. shops
at this place on the booms for two large
derrick cars. These when completed will
easily lift a heavily loaded freight car
from the ground and place it on a flat
car. One was built some three years ago
and has proved itself exceeding useful.
The increase of mileage renders others
necessary.
We understand that the B. ifc M.
management have recently contracted
for eight chair cars and a number of com
bination baggage and mail cars. The
shops at this point are very busy at this
time, yet it is doubtless true that some of
the aloye would have been constructed
here but for the late labor troubles.
Piattsmouth lias lost more by the strike
than appears on the surface.
Mr. J. C. Eikenbary arrested two
men yesterday, this being the second

f oun IJthem hanging around the yards, and
after lodging them in Plattstuouth castle
for a night, let.them out with the agree
ment that they should leave the city at
once. They put iu an appearance again
yesterday and were arrested a second time
by him, this time holding them on a
charge of vagrancy.
Members of the F. E. White hose
team who gave the dance on the platform
which has recently been erected on the
old fair groun?, report the affair a suc
cess financially and serially. A number
of police were sworn ia, so that the
fighting element was subdued to & con
siderable extent. Several roughs, it is
reported, appeared on the scene at a late
hour, but when the policemen did their
duty, they left without causing the
trouble they had anticipated.
Tho Nebraska City Times will cease
to appear us many times, as times are
hard.
Tho Turners society of this city have
formed a new singing club and are prac
ticing regularly.
Judge Russell issued a marriage li
cence this morning to Mr. Paul Dusen-
berry and Miss Nella J. Osscnkap.
It is a matter of unusual interest
that the Young Men's Republican Club
admit ladies to their banquet; it is an ad
mirable feature and it is hpcd that many
will avail themselves of the opportunity
and attend.
When the reporter approaches many
of the citizens of Plattsmouth and asks
for a news item occasionally he is sur
prised when ho receives the startling in
formation: "It's a hot day." It's a cold
day when we don't know it ourselves.
The "Katie Pease," the ferry which
makes regular trips from Nebraska to
Iowa, has been engaged for Sunday, by
a party of enterprising citizens who in
tend holding a picnic in Cottonwood
grove, immediately opposite this city in
Iowa. We have not yet learned the
course the boat will take in conveying
the excursionists to the other shore. If
they do not go about a mile above or
below the city, by the looks of the sand
bars about half-way across, they shouh'
have men at wojk now digging a chan
nel. Refreshment stands will be creetec
and every convenience made for the pic
nicers. This excursion on the "Katie
Pease" being the lirst of the season on
the muddy Missouri in this vicinity, it is
expected that a large crowd will turn
out for a day of recreation.
A s'ght which was seen n the Main
street a few evening ago nearly pro
voked many of the citizens to sound the
lire alarm. A man, whom we shcnli
take to be well up in years, judging by
his tardy pace, was the victim which
caused the excitement. Some of hi
friends, who never had the pleasure o
seeing him in a hurry, except in a Dutch
argument, adopted, a scheme similar to
the one worked on balky horses by build
ing a fire under them. Instead of doing
that, some of them touched a match to
the straw stack which was located on
top of his cranium, w hich suddenly start
ed a blaze that alarmed some of the
spectators, and it is needless to say start
ed the man along faster than he or any
of his friends ever remembered of seeing
him go before. It it had not been for
the assistance of his friends, who re
moved the burning fibres from his head,
it might have been necessary te turn
a hose on him.
The publication of a love story yes
terday was the first of a series, another
one, of a different character, and not as
spicy with business is, liable to appear
within a few days. A prominent young
maa who is directly interested in the next
publication, became excited yesterday
when he noticed & local drawing the at
tention of readers to a loye story on the
first page, he thinking his time had come
and turned the paper over in a hurry
In due season this second love story we
speakjof will appear and weare sure it will
prove sensatioutd, more so than any pre
vious one ever written concerning Platts
mouth. The dark complexioned j-oung
man, with a smooth face and a manly
physique, and the young lady with the
nearly teeth, laughing eyes and auburn
tresses, will be the principal characters in
the storv. For reasons better known to
the reporter, he is at present, mum
The weddicg has already taken place
even several evenings ago -and the di
rectly interested parties are smiling over
their satisfaction of winning a bet.

A GOOD MOVE.
Seven Striking Engineers go to
Work Here Today and Five More
Will Follow Tomorrow.
Men at Lincoln and McCook Start
to Work Today-
The Strike Should be Declared off.
About three weeks ago a petition was
passed among the strikers which
was signed by some aud ig
nored by others. Since then
this move has been anticipated by every
body. The men who have gone to work
looked at the situation from a sensible
standpoint and have secured a small
chance for themselves while, if they had
remained as strikers much longer, thei
chance of gaining employment on the
road at all would have been as one is to
a thousand. The boys, for their own in
tercst, should declare the strike off, for
as long as they remain as strikers, laying
idle and drawing money from the pock
cts of those who are working hard every
day for a subsistance and some who have
large families to support, the more inter
est they lose each day. They mils
surely see, us plain as though printed in
letters as largo as a house that to get
their positions again offered to them on
the C. B. & O. is an impossibility. As
it is, those men who go back are obliged
to work their way up and wait for an
occasional chance which may be left
vacant by men now working
on the road. Some of the men who
started to work today are working in the
machine shop and round-house. The
new men on the road M ill even have the
perfercuce in any promotions.
The longer the strikers hold out in this
fight, the more sympathy they are sure
to lose, and especially from the brother
hood men who are working on other
roads. Since they have seen for so long
a time that their chances are lost, why
not come out like men and say they have
lost it. Then they would receive sympa
thy from every one, but the longer they
remain in the fight now, the more blood
they lose and the weaker they make the
organization to which they belong.
Why not do something for yourselyes
while there is a possible chance left open.
Men have gone to work today at Lincoln
and McCook. There will be twelye of
the strikers go to work here tomorrow.

Coal is Cash.
The undersigned coal dealers, doing
business in the city of Plattsmouth, deem
t to the best interests of the public, as
well .3 cf the dealers, to sell coal strictly
and exclusively for ca&..
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, and in the
additional expense required for book
keepers, collectors, etc.
dispensing with the above formid
able items ot eipcn?e; dealers can afford
to sell coal at lower prices, and they reel
assured that this will commend itself to
the thinking public.
Fcr the above reasons, therefore, the
coal dealers have decided to sell for cash
only,

The claim of tho Plattsmouth Water

to furnish the water if the city would
erect the fountains.
A petition which was signed by sixteen
tax payers of the Second Ward was read
as follows:
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council :
(hutemeu : We, the undersigned res
idents and free-holders, do petition your
honorable body to have the water main
on Elm street extended west from its
present terminus three blocks, then south
one block, then west one block. It is
greatly needed and would reach a num
ber of consumers.
The fire and water committee, to whom
was referred the petition, examined the
same and recommended the prayer of the
petition to be granted. The petition was
allowed by the council, the Mayor voting
to decide.
It was moved by Mr. Murphy that the
water main on Main street be extended
three blocks. The motion was put and
carried by the vote of the Mayor.
The chairman of the streets, alleys and
bridges committee was instructed to look
after a sidewalk on the east side of Rock
street, which is at present in bad repair.
I. H. Dunn was appointed by the May

Dr. Schildkuecht has a new buggy
which he purchased of a firm in Chicago
and which he has just received. The
vehicle is a very complete rig, and is ad
mired very much by all judges. The name

and a neat little rig, we do not think it
can be rivalled.

As the society has grown to be a large
one, the members with their friends will
