Mr. Frank Carruth and family who
have been recruiting at Denver and the
many favorable resorts of that vicinity,
returned home, feeling much refreshed
after the pleasant trip. That city has
become so fascinating to him that lit. has
already purchased a residence there, and
we believe that it is his intention to re
side there permanently in the course of a
year. He gives many favorable accounts
of the city and its surroundings. We
believe the place has also attracted the
attention of a few more of our prominent
citizens.
As our spate was crowded last Sat
urday, the obituary notice we were de
sirous of giving Mr. C. R. Simmons, who
wa accidentlly shot last Wednesday,
was omitted. The deceased was removed
to Cedar Ripids on Friday, night after
memorial services were held in the Odd
Fellows hall. Mr. Simmons was well
known in this city, having resided here
for more than ten year. He proved
himself to be a faithful mechanic in the
harness shop of Mr. O. M. Streight for
that length of time, and h id he been a
brother of his employer, he could not
have gained his confidence more, and the
news of his death seemed to be a heavy
blow to him. Mr. Simmons had just re
cently returned from an extensiveestern
trip which he had ttken for the purpose
of recreation, and hid opened up a
snooting gallery jn tins city, in
which he met his death,
lie had the good will of all who knew
him, and was always favorably spoken
of on account of his genial and generous
disposition. The news of the accident
created much excitement, and when the
news of his dcith was spread over the
city, his many friends experienced as sad
a feeling as was ever known to any of
them before. His brother, Mr. R. O. Sim
mons of Cedar R ipds, was immediately
sent for when it was learned that the ac
cident was fatal, but he was unable to
arriye here before his brother's death,
making the shock still more seveie to
him. The deceased was born in Illinois
and was about 4$ years of age. He had
two brothers and two sister, his brothers
living in Cedar Rapids and his sisters in
Pennsylvania. Many friends in this city
J?nt a helping hand to the unfortunate
man before his death, but all of so avail.
We extend to the bejeyed relatives the
ympathies of the entire coiAinunity. The
Odd Fellows order, of which he - a' as a
prominent member, took charge of the
C re monies here.
Death of an Old Citizen.
The news has already reached the ears
of the majority of c itizens in this city
that Mr. John W. Shannon hux passed
away since our last publication. He has
hjen confined to his home for about two
weeks with typhoid fever, and for about
lilf tfie time lias lcen very low.
We reported last Saturday that there
was no further hope for him. He died
about 0 o'clock Saturday night, lie is
one of the oldest settlers of Plattsmouth,
having resided here for about thirty
years. At one time he was proprietor of
a large livery business here, and he has
gained for himself many friends in his
straightforward business transactions and
by various marks of generosity. It is
said that while he owned a hearse and a
livery business, that a poor family was
never charged for his services in any way
for funeral necessities.
The news of his death created much
sympathy among the obi settlers and
in my of the young. ones, and his demise
is greatly regretted. IIe was born at Col
bourne, Ontario, on the 5th of June,
182'J, making him 5. years, 3 months
and 3 days old at his death. Tlte funeral
will be under the management of the
masonic order of this city, of which he
was a prominent member, and will take
place from his late residence on Pearl
street, between Fourth and Fifth, tomor
row afternoon at 3 o'clock, and proceed
to the EpieC pal church where a short
servicj will be held by Rev. II. li. Bur
gess, after which the funeral will proceed
to tho Oak Hill cemetery where inter
ment will take place. A large attend
ance i.i expected. Friends and acquain
tances are respectfully invited to attend.
The World.
J. Z. Little's World company played
to a full house on Saturday night nt
Waterman's opera house. The famous
play a:id the fascinating company still
hold their reputation here. The scenery
in every particular comes as near being
perfection ns any we have seen ami the
artists, every one, carried his or her part
in a manner which presented nature in
the full sense of the word. The audience
was very appreciative and strongly en
couraged the company in their work.
An improvement could be made on the
aisle floors of the operahousc which would
be acceptable to both audiences and
companies. The people of this city have
grown into the habit of tardity and
when the aisle floors are so loose as they
arc at present, those who are on time and
trying to hear the stage performers, find
great annoyance on account of the noise.
If a stationary or solid platform was
placed under the seats, no doubt a num
ber who now stay away on account of
inconvenience, would attend.
PERSONALS.
Mr. Frank Dickson spent Sunday at
Elmwood.
Mr. .1. Burg, of the Council Bluffs
steam laundry, was in the city today on
busiuess.
Mr. Jas. Pollock, who is now a rcsi
lent of Lincoln, spent Sunday at his
home here.
Capt. Palmer left for Columbus, Ohio,
last Saturday night to attend the national
G. A. R. encampmcut being held .there.

Mr. Latham, ticket agent at the B.
& M. depot, is endeavoring to secure a
special for the accommodation of the
democrats of this burg who wish to at
tend their aa'icipated great rally at Glen
wood on Thursday evening next. Mr.
Francis, it is reported, wants a guarantee,
and it is not known whether one will be
given. Twenty tickets falling to the lot
of one man under similar circumstances
a shot time ago, has rather depreciated
the value of guarantees in the democratic
market.
All who wish to "take in" tho Siege
of Sebastopol at Omaha and return home
the same night, are requested to hand in
their names to Mr. J. P. Young. A
special will be run and tickets will be
sold at $1.2." for the round trip includ
ing the admission to the Siege. Already
a large number have handed in their
namrs.

A festival was held at the Methodist

about sixteen dollars.
Mrs. J. B. Holmes and Mrs. F. Young

their visit to New York state. They
think the Blue Bridge mountains in old
Delaware county look rougher than ever.
The Carroll's threshing machine has
been in the neighborhood the past week
threshing out the small grain. Nearly
everyone is much disappointed in the
yield of their grain. Four different
pieces of wheat were threshed out and
none of them yielded over live busheles
to the acre. The o-ts yielded from four
teen to nineteen bushels to the acre.
.This confirms the old adage that a far
mer is only sure of one thing, and that
is disappointment.

shape again. Tim Siiavkk.

articles that make up the complete volumes

The Patrol Wagon's Exhibition.
The "burry up" wagon, as tho boys call it,
might lie improved. One day last week a
great crowd cheered and ran after it as it
clattered along Fifth avenue. There was a
drunkeu woman in the wagon, and she pre
sented a sickening S)eetacle. It was this that
attracted the immense crowd. It is horrible
to witness two or three policemen dragging a
drunkeu woman to the station bouse. The
wagon shortens the exhibition. But why
make an exhibition? A cover could e pro
vided, with leather curtains which could be
pulled down. The moral effect would bo
worth the price of a thousand curtains. Does
any sensible man think it improves the
chances of a boy to haul him up into the
wagon and place him where all eyes can see
him? A plainer, more palpable error was
never made. We need not sneer at the gener
ation that nurtured the pillory as long as we
use patrol wagons without covers. Pittsburg

The Tongues of Castle Garden.
A polyglot scholar from Yale college who
visited Castle Garden one day when several
ship loads of iimi-igrants had just been
lauded there managed to converse with the
speakers of ten different languages German,
Bohemian, Gaelic, Swedish, Frenoh, Italian,
English, Spanish, Polish and mongrel
Greek but he could not master a half
dozen other tongues in the mouths of
eaveral small groups that stood or
huddled in the depot, including Rus
sian Jews of the Rabbi Joseph type, Arme
nians from Stamboul, and Finns. When be
left Castle Garden he said he felt as if he had
been in the Tower of Babel, where the speech
of the human race hud been confounded so
that nieu understood not each other, as re
corded in the Book of Genesis. New York
