The ladies who met in a large num
ber at the Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon to learn what they could do
to assist the workers of the Y. M. C. A.
in their good work, signified their will
ingness to assist in any way to the best
of their ability. We learned that it was
their intention to form a society in con
nection with the Y. M. C. A., and aid in
furnishing their rooms. We now be
speak for the association, success, and a
full attendance of young men.

$535 have been raised with good
prospects and the gentlemen have been
bo much encouraged so far that they con
sider the collection of the balance very
little work.

A Democratic Downfall.
Several times since tho successful ral
lies given by the republicans recently, the
crestfallen democrats have made several
boasts and bluffs of some future demo
cratic rally. The remark: "Just wait
until we have a rally, we will show you
fellows what kind of a procession demo
crats will make upon the streets." We
have waited, and the hearts of the re
publicans were in their mouths wtien the
Hound of the mighty horns were heard in
our land at the appointed hour when the
"demo, procesh" was to march on our
streets. The preparations, boasting and
"great I am" speeches occasionally made
in all public quarters only a few days
ago, lead the republicans to believe there
must be something in it, and the many
who turned out to watch them exhibit
themselves, swallowed their hearts again
with ease.
The B. & M. band had been engaged
in some way, and the mourners who stood
aside and watched them as they moved
down the street, apparently enjoyed the
funeral marches. A more solemn sight
could not be imagined. The band was
left alone in its solitude as it marched
down the street, while groops of two
and three of the mourners walked in the
direction of the depot. The special was
to pull out at G o'clock, but when the re
porter arrived at the depot, he readily
learned the cause of the delay and wit
nessed considerable anxiety among the
abitious democrats. The whole trouble
seemed to arise on account of the non
appearance of the required number. One
of their prominent backers, when he
learned of.their dissatisfaction,marchcd to
the ticket office in his authoritative 6tyle
and commanded the ticket agent, who
had refused to allow the special to pull
out unless one hundred tickets were sold,
to send the train along and he would see
that the required amount would be put
up on their return. The trustworthy
ticket agent could not hear to this and
informed them that the railroad company
did a strictly cash business. He could
not let the train go until thirty more
tickets could be disposed of in some way
Upon learning this, the "silver-tongued
orator " of the party, after bracing him
self and exhibiting a bold frout, with a
bill raised above his head and yet no
great distance from the ground, which
some supposed would not exceed $10,
and frankly offered it bysayiug, "Gentle
men, here's a dollar, there's no excuse for
us holding the train here because thirty
of our number did not show up " He
was requested to keep his boodle for fear
of further demands when Mr. F. E. White
came to their relief by "putting up" for
thirty tickets himself. The money was
handed over and the few previously dis
couraged democrats sent on their way
rejoicing to the land of the Wahoos.
The reason given by the gentleman for
making so extensive a contribution was
that he wished to have the town relieved
of the crowd for one night. About sev
enty-five passengers were carried to Wa
hoo that night, where they helped out a
slim rally at that place. So much for
the democrats and we would advise them
to trv again.

The Blji Fair at Plattsmotith.
No other fair will be .held in Cass coun
ty except our county fair on Sept. 18-19-20
and 21, which will be held on tho
new grounds south of the city 1$ miles.
The grounds have been put in excellent
condition, buildings have been erected,
spacious speed and stock stalls have
been put up, pens for cattle and hogs are
on the grounds, and the plan of locating
all is adnrrable. The entire front of the
buildings and stalls are in the shade
during the greater part of the day and
the entire afternoon. Excellent water is
plentiful on the grounds, and above all.
we have a good No. 1
HALF MILK TRACK.
Already there are many horses on the
track speeding morning and evening, and
all lovers of fast horses are invited to
drive in the ground and use the track;
the gates are open to all.
The new art hall is not yet built, but
we learn from Secretary Ritchie, that the
same will be commenced this week and
pushed to a speedy completion; and then
in our estimation the Cass County Driv
ing Park will have grounds that will be
a credit to our city and county.
The premium lists are out and in the
hands of the secretary, II. C. Ritchie.
Many have been distributed and if any
one has been overlooked they are invited
to call on him either in person or by
letter and be supplied.
There are many handsome premiums
in the list and all should look carefully
through the book. Come to the fair and
make some display of some article.
THE LADIES
are especially invited to make in their
department a good display. It consists
of art, jellies, home manufactured goods,
fancy articles, dairy, pantry and'kitchen,
flowers etc. The fair ones can help in
making the fair a grand success and are
urged by the managers to take hold and
help.
The speed programme will bring some
of the best horses in tho country
to Plattsmouth and with a good premium
list we shall have some of the fastest
trotting, running and pacing ever seen in
Csss county.
For the benefit of the public we publish
a list of the officers and superintendents of
the various departments:

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis

storms. This is fore-shadowed ' ll.hp
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their c
currence more probable in 1888.
