Of all the newspaper enterprise, dis

yet, Friday the News was out in full el-
dition as though nothing had happened
and stated the circumstances with the
light words, thnt nevertheless the News
would continue to "come on."' As far
the News is concerned AVabash ought to
boom.
The 4 o'clock gospel meetings held
Sundays by the Young Men's Christian

District Court for Cass county opened in
It jck wood hall, with Judge Chapman
presiding. The morning trains brought
in jurymen and attorneys who are inter

Wooley, Gibson and Travis, of AVeeping
Water; Woosley, of Greenwood, and
Rockwell, of Louisville.
Nothing of importance traspired to
day. The docket was reviewed and
tome cases set, the jury called, and the
general preparations for- court gone
through with.
THE DAILY
A GOOD PLAN.
On Acceptable, Feasible and Sub
stantial, Wnoreby Plattsmouth
Can Secure a Cood City
Hall.
A Seasonable Communication.
Mr. Editor: That Cass county needs
a new court house no one can deny. That
uch a buildirg will be soon erected by
the county is extremely improbable.
Plattsmouth needs a city hall, and I am
much pleased that our citizens should
express themselves so plainly upon the
subject. But it is eyident that the city
is not in a condition to make the neces
sary outlay now. Must we then abandon
all hope of a suitable .building, and shall
we for several years to come apologise
to every visitor for the want of proper
public buildings? I think not! If our
public spirited men will take hold and
puh matters, we can erect during the
coming summer a building that will
houe commodiously all of our public
officers, not excepting the postmaster,
Do you ask how this may be done! Let
the men who are beneltted by the loca
tion of these offices in Plattsmouth donate
a sufficient amount of money to pay for
a suitable lot or lots on which to place
the building. I believe that the requisite
nniount can be easily obtained. Then
place upon this building costing $20,000
a first mortgage of half this amount which
can be negotiated at low rates, and the
remainder should be held here in town.
At present the county is paying $600 pe
yrar for the use of Rock wood hall. The
U. S. government is paying as much or
more for the room in the Anheuser-Busch
building, and the city pays rent for th
coucil chamber and for the ofhee of its
beard of public works: and I believe
there are other items of the same kind,
All of these combined would pay the
interest on the debt and would allow of
a small payment on the principal. Ou
council could provide for a small addi
tional payment each year, and in very
few jeirs the building would be free o
all incumbrance. This plan, I believe, is
practicable.
All the details as outlined above rosy
not be the best, but there are plenty of
men capable of working out a solution to
the problem, and of providing us with
the building we need. Yours,
World Enough in Onp Week.
Friday night an intellignt and wel
i.paaring young lad of thirteen years'
expeiunce in tins world was landed in
Plattsmouth by a westbound freight train
He was broke, nway from home and with
out friends. Marshal Dunn placed him
in the Cottage house to repose for the
nightj The boy's story was something
like this: His name was Tommy Ford (or
Hiverly by his step father) his home was
Ciiicago, he loved his mother and they
got along together but he and his step
fuller could nt enjoy each other's com
puny, and he concluded he could do
b.' tter by leaving home, and all he want
ed was a chance and a little encourage
mcnt to face the world alone. Early
lat week in company with some other
boys and a "bir man" ("some tramp) he
left C 'icago for the west, the man
promising to secure him work at
Omaha. They got along together till
Friday afternoon when they arrived at
Pacific Junction. Here the man, having
secure. I his confidence, or by force, ob
turned all the money the boy had, deserted
him. and he crossed the river on the
tnright train which left him here,
Master Ford was brought before the
commissioners aud the county clerk Sat
urday and at hrst tnea to be bold and
asked for work, but became homesick
finally and naked to bs sent home, A
telegram was sent to his mother, Mrs.
Haverly, and this answer came:
Chicago, 111., Mar. 8, '89.
Pit ass send Tommy home, inform me
when anl what road.
Mrs ITaveiilt.
Ino re:Iy was immediately sent and in
a few hours - this telegram came.
"nlidimtvou answer my message
of t ds iiiarning? Am waiting for ans
wer, a a troubled.
Mns. IIaveklv.
A repy was sent by Clerk Critchfield
that her son would be started home on
No. 2. the flyer; and theu this message
was received.
Uiox Stock Yabds, Chicago.
AVhat uTonjray Ford (or Haverly)
held there for? If you will send him
horn?, will" pay all charges.
S. A. Das forth,
Supt. of Police.
A half fare ticket was purchased for
the boy and he was placed on No. 2
Saturday afternoon in charge of the con
ductor, for Chicago. It was not much
of a doe that was necessary to supply
Tommy Ford's thirst after the world and
the west, but lie was exceedingly fortu
nate in escaping with such an early re
turn home as he got, and if he had
enough of "roughing it" probably both
himself and. parents can appreciate home
better.

HERRMANN'S.
MILLER ANOTHER WEEK.
The Singing Evangelist will hold
Revival Service thie week
at the M. E. Church.
Saturday and Sunday's Meetings.
Saturday eyening Evangelist Miller
devoted his attention to the young con
verts. The house was well filled and
many converts were there to enjoy a
scripture reading and talk from Mr.
Miller, esecially to them; and afterward
many glad testimonies were given by
them. Yesterday morning the church
was crowded as it was each meeting dur
ing the week. Mr. Miller took for his
subject "Heaven" and for a text read the
21st chapter of Revelation. It was a
beautiful talk he made, and was richly
reciyed by the christians present. One
very touching incidint occured, when
the call for those seeking salvation was
made an old gentleman, who was a back
slider in the rear of the church, was
invited forward, but he returned a cold
reply and did not seem the least concern
ed. Hardly had he been left to himself,
however, till he wajked straight to the
alter, knelt down before the congregation
and wept biterly, for his backslidings.
Jjtst night Mr. Miller took for a subject
"Hell" and for a text the 25th chapter of
Mathew was read, commencing with the
31st verse. Long before opening services
the church was filled, and every available
corner in the back of the church was
occupied for standing room, while many
were unable to get in at all. In response
to a request the evangelist again sung
the son "My Mother's Beautiful Hands"
and afterward sung a solo on "Eternity."
at the close of the meeting quite a nuin
ber rose for prayer and gathered around
be altar. Announcements for meetings
this ubik sere made. Afternoon meet
ings will be held in the church commenc
ing tomorrow at 3:30 p. m., Wednesday
afternoon the services will begin at 3
o'clock and will be for old people.
