CITY CORDIALS.
Two cases of diphtheria, the first
two reported for serveral days were reg
istered today.
The second annual K. of L. masquer
ade ball will be iven at the opera house
on the evening of Monday, February
11th.
A good number of Plattsmouth's
young orators have signified their inten
tion of attending a debating school
which will bo hold tonight at Homing's
school house, south of this city.
Mrs. J. N. Summers entertained
about ton of her lady friends last . night
at her home, South Sixth street. The
guests epeak highly of that lady's abili
ties as an entertainer, and from all ac
counts a very pleasant evening was spent.
A commercial traveler, who was
willing to bet a silk hat, a suit of clothes
or anything one might suggest, made the
statement to one of our business men
yesterday that there were more Jobbers
goods sold in St Joe last year than in the
four cities, Omaha, Council Bluffs',
Atchison and Leayenwortli, combined.
The boys have found an excellent
skating pond in the bar opposite the de
pot. They occasionally light up the
place at night by torches and a general
good time is had. The youiig ladies arc
also freely ipdulgiug in the healthful
exercise, and a large crowd who believe
their time for skating is limited, can be
aeon every night satisfying their desire
for exercise.
Intead of the regular dancing
school which is given iu Fitzgerald's hall
on Friday night of each week, tomorrow
eight will le observed by those who at
tend the tchool and as many who wish
to participate, as a niuht for a "enuine
good time, when a masquerade ball will
be giyen. As the school is generally
well attended, the hall tomorrow night
will undoubtedly be overcrowded.
Any person visiting Omaha and
having a little time to spare Peiore tne
6:23 train leaves in the evening, can en
joy themselves and spend a half hour or
an hour profitably by going to the Y. M.
C. A. building and watching the gyt
nasium classes. The class from 5 to C
in the evening is composed of over 50
. cj a
business men and is an interesting sight
to a person who never saw anything of
the kind.
The night operator at the B. & M.
depot, who has been exercising his
Irauie in a grand effort to become graceful
enough to trip the light fantastic cred
itably, met with an accident last night,
which suddenly checked his step while
on practice . He had recently purchased
a valuable gold watch, and in his high
kicking threw it from his pocket breaking
it so badly that it will be of no value to
him.
One of the representatives of the
little green isle across the sea, approached
the principal of the high school yester
day and prayed for assistance, stating
that he was "dead broke." When he
was told to apply to the county clerk
for assistance he replied: ''You main
that coontrvmon of main doon there?
I wuz doon to see him an' lie told me
if I did not git out of this town h
would be after puttin me in jail.
Many people are alarmed at a num
ber of butchers who are harvesting ice
taken from a slop pond which is located
at the rear of the business blocks betwecu
Third and Fourth streets. It is said
that the water is about as filthy as it pos
sibly can be, and we are surprised to see
uch ice used for any purpose. What
use butchers can have for such filthy
stuff no one can imagine, and we hope it
is not their intention to make the use of
it some people believe they will.
At the new Grand opera house in
Omaha Friday and Saturday nights, and
Saturday matinee, the Juvenile Opera
Co., composed of thirty young artists
from 10 to 20 years of age, will be the
attraction. Friday night they present
" Olivette," Saturdry matinee, "Mikado,"
and Saturday evening, "The Chimes of
Normandy." People who visit Omaha
Saturday can have a chance to see the
"3fikado" presented in first-class style
at the matinee at '2:?0. Next week
"Siberia" every night.
Mr. White, the farmer who aeconi
pank-d Sheriff Eikenbary to Omalit
Monday to claim the buffalo robe which
was stolen from his place near Bock
JJIuffs one night last week, returned by
the flrer Tuesday afternoon, apparently
taucli pleased because he was in posses
sion of his lust robe. The Omaha author
ities, wlii had untied the thief, turned
him over to Shetifi CJknbary, who
brought him to this city for iril. I
ats arraigned before Judge Russell wiic

ithe length of time required to board it

Boston Symphony Club.
Below will be found a program which
will bo tendered tonight at Fitzgerald's
hall by the Boston Symphony club.
Already the ladies of the Y. L. It. It.
A. and Presbyterian church, under whose
auspices tho concert will be given, have
been remarkably successful in selling
tickets for the coming concert. This
club has appeared before the most cul
tured audiences in America, and no lov
er s of classical music, and there are a
good number in Plattsmouth, should
hesitate to take advantage of a3 rare an
opportunity to hear music of the finest
class.

Death of John M'ConnifT.
The news of the death of John M'Con-
uilf, superintendent of the Atchison &
Nebraska division of the B. & M. rail
road company, was received in Lincoln
tins morning with profound sorrow, lie
died at his residence in this city at 9:30
o'clock lust night. It has been known
for several days past that he could not
i;ct well, so his death caused no surprise,
but deep sorrow was manifest, for he
was known and loved throughout the
city. He retained consciousness to the
last, and passed away surrounded by his
t'-iuuly and friends. Tho caus; of his
death hemorrhage of the stomach. He
leaves a wife, two sons and three
daughters.
Mr. McConniff was forty-seven years
of age, and for over thirty years was
engaged in active railway service. It
can be truly s:.id that he was ne of the
best and most favorably known railroad
men in the west. He counted his friends
by the score". He was large hearted,
public spirited, and his hand was ever
ready to aid in the hour of one s
extremity or need. During the past
oiht years he resided in Lincoln, and
wherever known is regarded as an exem
plary citizen, and a safe manager of
every interest put in his hands.
It is though that the interment will
take place at Wyuka, but nothing definite
will be known until the arrival of his
father, who has been summoned from
his home at Montreal, Canada. Omaha
Bee.
Messrs. D. Ilawksworth, Supt. motive
power and C. M. Wead, supt. supply
department.took their departure for Lin
coln this morning to attend the funeral
of the deceased official. It has been
reported here that the burial occurred
this afternoon.
Co Around the World-
If you wish to be well entertained for
an evening, do not miss soin"; to see
" Around the World in 80 Days," at the
op.wa house next Tuesday night. Those
who saw the play last year, the night of
the great blizzard, although the atteud
ance was small yet everybody was well
pleased. They have some elegant Nero
scenery, giving a fine spectacular per
formance by thirty first class artists, and
the Amazon drill by beautiful young
ladit's, is alone worth the price of admis
sion, besides I have induced them to play
at our regular prices, 35, 50 and 75c, and
at these prices no one can nfford to miss
this performance. Owing to the blizzard
last year they had a small house and
concluded to give Plattsmouth another
trial, although they had been informed
tint it was a poor show town. So I trust
they will give this company a good house
and convince them that the report is not
true. Secure your tickets now on sale at
75c. and greatly oblige,
Respectfully Yours,
J. P. Younc.
What Is Most Needed.
Nearly every pretentious town in the
state not more than half the size of
Plattsmouth has furnished itself with all
the modern improvements.some of which
Plattsmouth i still sadly in need of.
The many economical business men of
the city, when they know that electric
lights can be furnished them at a lower
rate than any other illumination, will
doubtless: add their name to the first list
presented.
The incandescent electric light, which
can he used to a greater advantage than
any oth.r light, will not be as expensive
as even ordinary oil lamps, nud 'ts
pow.r of illutnin ttion is equivalent to
about fifty candles. The great conven
ience of these lights a'so makes them more
rjesir;ble. They can be so arranged as
to light up k h.Je horse in a second,
and they requ're no cai-e. if sci..e piju
ential interested party would stat out
with a subscription list, they would uu- .
doubtedly meet with success. j

-Mr. Robt. Fitzgerald was much sur
prised this morning after arising from
his slumbers and upon looking in his
vest pocket for his watch, to find it miss
ing. No other valuables could be found
missing. It is supposed a tljef entered
the house by a back window, secured the
watch and made his escape by the front
door, as a key had been left in the lock
on the inside. This morning the door
was found looked and it is supposed the
tramp locked the door from the. outside
and carried away the key.
The revival meeting at the M. E.
church last night was well attended, and
the iutcrest in their success manifested
by those taking part is not abating.

An Offensive Breath
is most distressing, not only to the person
afflicted if he have any pride, but to those
with whom he comes in contact. It is
delicate matter to speak of, but it has
parted not only friends but lovers. Bad
