What's the matter with Harrison?
- Address especial to joung men by
Evangelist Miller, tonight.
Bennett & Tutt hare a pair of white
rabbits in front of their store as an at
traction
An "Inaugural" mask ball was given
in Fitzgerald's hall last night bj the
Turnvercne.
The expenses of the city of Omaha
for 1888 were nearly $200,000. That is
quite Chicaguic.
-A marriage license was granted to
day to 3Ir. J. W. Alajrney and Miss
Mollie Tucker, of Mt. Pleasant precinct
F. E. White is receiving a large
amount of shelled corn today, having
purchased 1,500 bushels from parties
living west of town.
B. A. McElwain was in Omaha yes
terday and purchased a stock cf jewelry
for his store to supply the demand in
that line the coming season.
The beautiful weather here yesterday
and today made many wish they were at
Washington. But quite a different state
of the elements prevailed there. It
rained all day.
Nobody at Louisville wants the
postoffice there, but every man has his
teeth set and his eyes on every other man
in town for fear lie won't get the office.
yet none will plead guilty to a desire for
the "sit"
A commendable move is being made
by souie citizens in trimming out their
shade trees by about half. Shade trees
are a good thing, but when they grow
thick and bushy they need care, and now
is the time to care for them.
Mr. Poland, who runs a lime kiln at
Louisville, thinks the quality of the stone
in his quarry will warrant him in starting
two more kilns. Cass county has a good
nnder-lay of stone of first class lime
qualities and a large shipping business
may some day be the result.
All the 'barbers' want to go and
see the famous tragedian, "Robt, Down
ing." tomorrow night, and therefore will
close their places of business at 7 o'clock
p. m., Wednesday evening, and therefore
would kindly request all the gentlemen
who expect to go and see "Ilobt. Down
ing' and wish a shave, to please take
due notice.
A prominent young man of this city
who is engaged in business, went to call
on a young lady Sunday, but was fright
ened away by seeing a pair of arctics
man's size on the front poarch. If a
fellow wants to buzz a girl, and hasn't
more courage than that, he had better
fell out, and seek a. field not so full of
competitors as the one he is in.
The Columbus school board has de
cided to introduce the synthetic method
in the schools of the city. Miss Swanson
of Muscatine, la., is there giving the
teachers instructions in the method. J.
E. Kilian, an eminent German scholar,
has been employed to teach German and
Latin in the high school in place of Mr.
Fleischer, who resigned on account of
sickness.
The bank of Cass County this morn
ing sold to J. R. Cox, the forty feet of
their lot, back of the bank, facing on
Fifth Etreet. It is the intention of Mr.
Cox to erect a brick block there, con
necting with his store building on Main
street. If this is done the hardware
store of Weidtnann & Brekenfeld will be
enlarged with an entrance both on Main
and Fifth streets.
The canned goods, property of F.
Carruth, which have been stored in the
Wheeler block, the brick building on
Main street near the depot, are being
moved to the basement under Carruth's
jewelry store. The company gave notice
for the building to be vacated by April
1st, and in all probability some good
things for Plattsinouth will develop the
coming summer.
The little town of Union is putting
on a metropolitan air she has become
stirred up over the fact that "gambling
in Union is getting to be altogether too
common," and that "there are three or
four notorious resorts in town; a shame
and disgrace to our city and they should
be suppressed." The way for a town to
successfully handle such places is to find
ont they are in existence, locate them,
and then bodily fire them; and Union has
the material in her to do this.
W. A. Derrick was in Omaha yester
day in search of singer for the benefit
which will be given him at the opera
house next Tuesday night. A glee club,
'consisting of Messrs. Ritchie and Derrick,
of Plattsmoutb, and Dunn and Whitney
of Omaha, will take part in the entertain
ment by rendering a few of their favorite
Quartettes. The concert will vary from
the usual style, and as no pains will be
spared to make it highly entertaining, in
every particular, the event will be a
roosing success.
Read Elson's add on the first page.
Revival meetings at the Methodist
church each afternoon and night of this
week.
Several more carloads of lumber tor
the Oapin farm property being erected,
arrived today.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the
first day of lent, which lasts for forty
days, and is a season observed in the
Episcopal and Catholic Churches.
John Leach has just completed some
new counters for the drug store of Oer
ing & Co. by covering t'lem with a slick
coat of varnish. The counters were
placed this afternoon.
The Heklad appreciates the manner
in which the business men are coming to
the front with their adds, and is gratified
to know they are reaping good returns'
in patronage secured through the IIe
ald'm columns.
The remains of John Smalley will
be sent to Central City, la., tomorrow
morning for interment. The funeral
was delayed from today because of the
non-arrival of a son of deceased, De-
vane Smalley, from Indiana.
We know it's a great temptation to
talk about the weather and recent politi
cal transpirancies, and for that reason
have excused those who, when asked for
news, would reply My wife told me to
get some garden seeds," "sap's runnin',"
"I must build a summer kitchen," or "I
voted for Harrison," "good bye Grover,
etc., but hereafter we shall expect what
we ask for, and will carry a hatchet for
the man that says "its a fine day."
We have been shown a design for
an upholstered front gate, which seems
destined to become very popular. The
foot-board is cushioned and there is a
warm sap-stone on either .side; the in
insids step being adjustable so that a
short girl can bring her lips to the line
of any given mustache without trouble.
If the gate is occupied at 10:30 p, m., an
iron hand extends from one gate post
tikes the young man by the left ear and
turns him around, and he is at once
started homeward, bv a steel foot. The
girl can, if she likes, set thia part at a
later hour than 10:30.
Th6re js a bill posted up in this
office which is a politics: heir-loom for
Cass county. It was printed ou white
paper with green ink (the paper is now
colored and dingy from exposure to the
elements) and reads like this: "Green
back rally at the court house, PI a tu
rn uth, Saturday evening, Oct 26, '79,
Grand torch-light procession, music and
fireworks! Addressed by Maj. Davis,
candidate for congress; Judge Ferguson,
of Oaiaha; L. O. Todd, canditate for
governor, and other talent&d orators on
pooling the issues. Turn out everybody."
Maybe some of the "old-timers" remem
ber something about these occasions.
The powerful prssenger mogul en
gines which have been in use on the C.
B. & Q., in Iowa, and eastward, are being
introduced on the B. & M. The first one
arrived yesterday afternoon. It was
built at the "Q" csr shops at Aurora, PL,
and carries the number "2S6," To say
that it is a powerful and majestic black
how. Is just the facts. J. M. Roberts,
into whose care this engine has been
givtn, has spent the afternoon in oiling
and fixing her up for tonight's run, and
for a trial trip about the yards. 230
will go out this evening for her first run
on passenger No. 3, returning on No. 4.
Four other engines of this calibre will be
here ris soon as completed, to do service
on No. 3 and No. 1.
The fact that the neighboring waters
were swarmed with geese and other game
of the feathered tribe has weighed heavi
ly on the minda of Plattsmoutb. huntsr
men during this nice weather, and yes
terday a party of four was mustered
together and a hunt taken 09 the Platte
bottoms. The company was made op of
Jim Antill, A. W. White, Walt Ilolmes
and J. R. Jones. They had geese for a
goal and were prepared to rid off the
bottoms. A fine flock was sighted, and
all the boys were there, but Jim was the
only one that brought borne a trophy.
It was a fine specimen, but the unlucky
fellows termed it a "sick goose," having
been shot at some time through one of
its webs.

A Grand Production.
"One of the most celebrated scene paint
ers jn this country, and one who has per
haps given mote attectign than any otht
to the painting of scenery for legitinnt.
plays, is William Yoegtlein. It was he
who painted the scenery for the legiti
mate productions at Booth's Theatre, t
well as for Margaret Mather's fine scenic
production of 'Romeo and --Juliet,'
which enjoyed a successful run at th
Union Square Theatre two seasons ago.
Voegtlein's latest triumph, however, i.
his adtnu&Lle work as shown in hh
elaborate production of Dr. B'rd,s sub
lime tragedy, ''The Gladiator," which
he has painied for Manager J. II. Mack,
who is starring the great tragedian,
Robert Downing, as Spartacus. The
scenery presented in "The Gladiator"
was a surprise to lovers of the legitimate.
Anything quite so extensive was totally
unlooked for, and it had not a little to
do toward augmenting the success of the
star, whom the energy and enterprise of
Manager Mack had sarrounded in so
complete a manner. Everything in con
nection with the performance appeared
as realistic and srue to Ijfe as possible.
Those who will not go and see Robt.
Downing and his great company will
miss a rare treat which they will regret
after it Is too late, TYaterruan Opera
House tomorrow night.
Miller's Meetings.
The evangelist, Mr. E. F. Miller, had
an over-crowded church to talk to last
night. He spoke of his own experience.
The singing of the solo, "My Mother's
Hands," by him, was very touching,
for Mr. Miller sings much expression in-
jm words. In place of a bible reading,
quotation pt aprirjtnre were given by
the congregat ion. The meeting did not
number many converts.
This afternoon a meeting was held
from 3 to 4 o'clock, to which a good
number came to hear Mr. Miller, and a
bible reading or talk was given,
Tonight's meeting will - doubtless be
one of great interest as the singing and
speaking will be especially to young
men. All are cordially invited. The
subject to be spoken on tomorrow even
ing is 'Temperance." The seating
capacity of the church has beisn increased
to its greatest capacity so as jo accom
modate a large number.
Now is the busy season for black
smiths, being crowded with work from
the farmers who are busily preparing for
thei r spring work.
