"Jim Chambers," the favorite of the

for DeWitt last night, by express. The

pressions of deep bereavement, while
chained in the office, ever the departure

We are in receipt of a notice of the
death of John Sims, a former resident of
this city . His death occurred at Nor
folk, Neb., on the 24th inst. lie was
buried yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
Deceased was aged eighty-one years,
three months and seventeen days. He
was well known here, and the notice of
his demise will be a sore bereavement to
many.
Robbie Carr, step-son of Mr. C. S.
Twiss, who has been confined to his home
for the past two weeks with a disease of
the heart, died last night He was ten
years and eleven months of age. The
funeral will leave the residence of Mr. C.
8. Twiss, Rock and Eleventh streets, to
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. He had
just nicely recovered from a lingering
illness when the last attack came on
The Herald extends sympathies to the
bereaved.
Among the prominent speakers who
-will be invited to attend the grand rally
here on the 13th of .October, we notice
the names of Judge O. P. Mason, of Lin
coln, Gen. John C. Cowan, of Omaha;
W. J. Connell, of Omaha and Judge M.
L nay ward, of Nebraska City. The
mere mention of the names of these pop
ular gentlemen, who will without a
doubt, be present, should insure the peo
ple of the success anticipated. There
will no doubt be a larger crowd than the
citizens here ever intertained before.
Any one whose eyesight is afflicted
in any way should call on Frof. Strass
man, at the Riddle bouse. He is a retro
lax eye doctor and a graduate. He manu
factnres and imports, and now has bis
stock at the Riddle house. Of this stock
we can say, and say truthfully, that be
has the largest and finest stock of spec
tacles and eye glasses west of Chicago.
He has Alaska and Austrialian crystals,
and not only retailes goods in this city,
but is filling wholesale orders from other
towns. It will pay you to call and see
him.
The rumor which has been in circu

justified regarding a change in business
booses which is to take place. Arrange
ments were completed this morning be

the latter will move his stock into

NrBBASKA Citt, Neb., Sept. 22, 1883.
Editor Hkrald. Citizens here esti
mate the pontoon bridge worth $10,000
to $30,000 a year to the city. They pay
$2,500. All admit that it is fur better
than they expected. Less sway than a
pier bridge, and far more convenient
because the bridge ends at the shore (no
long approaches for the teams to climb.)
There is nothing smart about it It is
merely a lot of scows knocked together
and Btrung across the stream, but under
it harmlessly passes the heaviest drift
hurled by the raging river, and on it you
can, in one minute, drive from shore to
shore.
I make your city a much better propo
sition than I made last spring. I will
bridge out from each shore and ruu a
shuttle-boat across the channel, crossing
every two to five minutes fo7a bonus of
$1,200 a year. If the arrangement can
be made at once so that I ran put in the
bridge while I am waiting here to make
experiments with the ice, I will arrange
for a bonus of $1,000 a year for five
years.
Or, if your citizens prefer, I will ar
rango for a single year for $1,500, being
satisfied that they will see the vanoy
advantages of a bridge and at the end of
the year re-arrange for four years more
at $1,000 a year.
Tolls, SO cents round trip for double
teams. Other tolls in proportion. A
shuttle bridge is as good as a' complete
bridge where not over 400 teams cross
daily.
For $100 a year more we will put on a
stage to make two trips daily, each way,
between Plattsinouth and Pacific Junc
tion, 10 cents fare each way. No charge
to passengers crossing the bridge. This
would bring many citizens of Pacific
Junction to Plattsmouth to trade. A
stage line might also be run to Glenwood
during the months when the roads are
good.
Now, if, Plattsmouth has a few men
who will raise to the level of the oppor
tunity and secure subscriptions of $5 to
$25 a year you might soon have a shuttle
bridge that would enhance real estate.
increase trade, start new enterprises, as it
has done here, and bring-to your doors
the hay, wood, butter, eggs, vegetables,
etc., of Iowa. People have been benefited
here by the bridge in more ways than
they ever thought of. They will also
tell you that I have much more than fill
ed my contract with them. I have given
free days, half-fare days, free crossing to
old soldiers, half-fare on corn nnd wood
from a certain distance, half-fare for
pleasure drives to citizens every pleasant
afternoon, and am using many kinds of
inducements to bring farmers and emi
grants to this city.
Our bridge here was finished over a
month ago. Although it is the largest
pontoon bridge in the. world by over one
hundred feet, and has the largest draw
of any bridge, either pier or pontoon, by
over twenty feet, we have as yet been
unable to get even a delegation of one
man from Plattsmouth to visit it This
makes me sad, but I can wait as long as
you can.
By putting on one hundred men we
could build it in two weeks after the
gunwales arrives.
If some of your citizens would rather
own the bridge, I will build it for them,
and at a much less price than any other
contractor will charge: Moreover, I will
guarantee my bridge to stay put.
I am right glad to learn that the $300
of time and expense I lost with you last
spring resulted in causing your ferryman
to reduce his rates. You and the farmers
opposite reap the benefit of it
All Along the river ferry rates are fall
ing and the boats of those who were
compelled to charge half a farmer's load
for toll shall soon rock idly on the shore,
for pontoons have arrived to remain (or,
if you prefer it, " come to stay " ) and I
was sent to tell you.
I continue to remain your friend and
well wisher, S. N. Stewakt.
