Fourteen ambitious young ladies were examined by 31. Spink, county superintendent, today. They were all desirous of securing a teacher's certificate and becoming school ma'ams. The way the young men tarn out to attend the eospel meetings at the Young 3Ien's Christian Association. makes it necessary to come early to get a seat. The usual meetings will be held at 4 p. m. tomorrow. A grand meeting for men enly, will be held at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association tomorrow at 4 p m. All are requested to consider them selves specially invited, and will be cor dially welcomed on coming. Samuel P. 3Iartin. whose death at Washijgton by gas suffocation as mentioned in the Herald last week, will be buried at Uellevue. 1 uougu a man ot wealth and traveling experience, he thoughtlessly blew out the gas (or turned it on accidentally after turning it out) and died of suffocation. When a boy, of eight or nine years of age, the editor of this paper had an opportunity to show his ''patriotism," by walking, in company with an elder brother, a distance of eight miles to hear a speech by "Pretty Billy Windom' he was then facetiously called by envious opponents, now secretary of the treasury under President Harrison. This was during the early days of 3Ir. Windom's political career, and he was exceedingly popular among tne people of nis own state, Minnesota, as the feat above related will attest, even the small boys deeming it absolutely necessary that they should lend their presence on all occasions where 3Ir. Windoni was to be present. Saunders County Leader. A poetical editor thus remarks: "There was a man in our town and he was wonderous wise, for when he marked his prices down, he than did advertise. And when he saw his tiade increase, with all his might and main, he lower still marked every price and advertised again And when he advertised again his rivals loudly swore, to see folks rush with might and main, to patronize his store. And while they sat in solitude, and saw his custom win, that man behind the counter stood and raked the shekels in. And when he raked the shekels in, be saw bis fortune rising; he took a goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising. Each day a generous sunt he'd sink, and dem onstrated plain, the more one pays printer's ink, the greater is the gain. evangelist Minor's Last Nlht. The singing evangelist E. P. Miller, who has had such a successful series of meetings in the 3Iethodist church for two weeks, held his lost meeting last night; though the meetings may be con tinued next week by the pastor. Ho v. W. B. Alexander. The afternoon meeting yesterday was well attended, and Mr. Miller gaye a little reading to Christians; at the invitation to seekers a good num ber came forward to the altar and ac cepted their Savior. Though the weather last night was such as would keep people at home, the church was again crowded. The order of the meeting was different from others; the congregation spent some time sing ing and then 3Ir. 3Iiller gave the meet ing into their hands for a testimonial service, and about 180 took part in testi mony. The evangelist sang a farewell solo to the congregation, entitled, "I hope to meet you all in Glory." The words f this piece were appropriate and it was eang with the usual expression and earnestness ot Mr. Aliller. ltiere were a number of conversions. After the ser vices were over a large number staid and sung and had a farewell rejoicing and handshaking with the evangelist. Many converts and a host of friends will re member 3Ir. Miller with kindest regards as he goes about over the country in his evangilistic work. After church closed last night Charley Brown, Rev. W. B. Alexander, W. II. Pool, S. C. Green, C. F. Smith and J. M. Both well met with 3Ir. 3Iiller at the hotel and the time till midnight was spent by them reviewing the successful work done in this city. The evangelist had intended going from here to Down ing, a city about thirty miles from Chi cago, where mctinus would have opened tomorrow, but on account or tne serious illness of his father-in-law at Denver, he took the flyer for that city this morning. 3Ir. Miller many times during the meetings, and elsewhere, expressed ex treme pleasure and confidence in the youug men of the Young Men's Christ iaa Association of i'lattsmouth. and termed it "the star association of the west." Surely this is a compliment which the association must be worthy to merit, for 3Ir. 3Iiller is a man of much experience and observation. "But," he said, "nowhere have I found a body of young men so zealous and willing in taking hold of a Christian work." OBITUARY. Died: Mamie 31cCoy, aged 15 years, of consumption, at the home of her father, Joseph McCoy, corner Main and Fifth streets, March lothat 9 o'clock p. m. Last night the life of Mamie 3IcCoy went out, after a long and painful atteck of consumption. The girl was well kuoftu in this city. During her con- tined illness since last fall, many friend ly hands ministered to her wants and desires wMi rlowecg and other symbles of their love for her. But to no avail, ex cept a source of comfort to the suffering one. Her life was .despaired of long ugo, and for several weeks she was con tinually at the point of deat'i, and at times unconcious from suffering. She knew the end of her illness would soon come, and tne little soul that fluttered and almost longed for liberation has fin ally ben set free by that destroyer of vital fibre consumption. The funeral s ryices will be held at the father s resi dence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Many are the friends, young and old, that join their heartfelt sympathies with the parents and family.

Tim Otoe county farmers are evidently getting down on Cass county' booming city. This is the way the Nebraska City Netr-t ieaks about it: "Ben Harsus, the well known farmer of Wyoming precinct, does not like tgo Union as the crowd there are entirely too tough for him. He says there is a gang wko make a practice of stealing the rings off a f irmer s harness and will appropri ate whips, robes, etc. He reports several cases where everything has been stolen and the horses tied with the lines aad in some ctses the teams have been turned loose.'

The weather always affects The Joker to a great degree, and he was almost dis couraged at the prospect to get "in pint' this week, because of a severe attack of spring leyer. xesteraay a cuange, no eyer, straightened him out ia goodshap l he Jokkk does not desire to see a family circus in any home, and so feels it his solemn duty to warn all married men to keep off the jury. Yes, its a fact, your cunning wife took advantage of the 'night you were out," and had a giand musical entertainment at the house, to which all the neighbors were present. It is a happy thought that comes, when The Joker observes that the question agitated sometime ago whether Platts- mouth would be able to withstand the competition of Mercerville and Oreapolis, has ceased to be agitated; and in face of the great building enterprises on foot. believes that the city can brace up and support a city hall. The ingenuity exhibited by the county editor when be is brought to straights' is sometimes equal, to the managing ability of some of the millionaires. A last week's publication of one of the county papers containes this example of surmounting ingenuity after the case was short of ''sorts," which The Jokek heartily admires: 'c r.

If he survi yes he will "come again." The New Musical Farqa.
