The Herald refer an inquirer, as to
the enterprise of Plattmouth merchants,
quickly to its advertising colums, and
this is am acceptable proof. It is a grati
fication to us to know that this paper is
used as advertising medium ''because it
pays."
Saunders county has a lively and
valuable county paper in the Saunders
County Leader, aad to all outward ap
pearances it is coming to the front Th
Herald notices with pleasure the newsy
columns of that paper, as it is edited by
W. A. Keithley, a former Plattsmouth
citizen, and at one time foreman of the
Herald.
Our Omaha correspondent writes
that "The Postage Stamp" is one of the
funniest pieces that haa been played
there this season. The play opens in tin
first act with a man holding a letter in
his hand from which the stamp has been
remoyed. It is mailed and of course
does not reach its destination, and causes
an endless amount of trouble to the par
ties it was intended for. In the last act
the letter reaches its destination and
causes a sensation. In the meantime th
"Postage Stamp" is entirely lost sight ol
amid the general fun making. Some of
the scenes are so irresistably funny that
the audience forgets itself and laughs a
though they didn't care who saw them
but as everybody is roaring they don't
notice anybody else.
The Kansas City Gazette tells a story
about a family down in Florida that lost
one of their children. After failing, to
find it for two days, they put a twenty
fire cent notice in a local paper and the
next morning they were surprised to see
an alligator upon the door step, where he
had disgorged the lost child alive, and
then died himself. They sold the alliga
tor's hide for $5. and the parents are ex
hibiting the child in a dime museum for
$50 per weok. The story illustrates the
value of advertising. It also illustrate
the writer as a careful and painstaking
liar.
Died From Drink."
The saloon of Speck & Grave was
closed last night at 6 o'clock because of j
the death of John Grave. Mr. Graye
waa a man of middle age and was at one
time employed at the Goos bouse. He
has had a great habit of liquor and Sat
urday night was taken with delerium
Cremona from which he died at his pla
of residence last night about 6 o'clock.
Showing Him Around
The II Kit Ai.u scribe was never more
humiliated, on account of the crying
want of Cass county, than he was yester
day. He was engineering an enterprising
young friend over the city. The system
of water works, High school, the fine
system of sewerage, the pavement
and general good appearance of Main
street and the residence portion of the
city were much admired and compliment
ed, also the good location ef the city, on
the Missouri river and at the mouth of
the Platte; and finally a complete tour
was made of the B. & M. shops where
500 sober and industrious men were
contentedly laboring. The shops were
a great source of interest and the visitor
concluded Plattsmouth was quite a city,
but returning to Main street he said
"is'nt Plattsmouth the county seat!"
Yes," "Where's your court houel"
We called hia recollcctien to the visit
there the middle of the afternoon, and
made the best explanation possible.
"But,"said he "if the business men are as
enterprising as you say, could'nt they
push it through?" and another proof of
enterprise was demanded. We laid
"come" and lead the way back to the
Herald office unfolded a Daily Herald
and a Weeelt Herald before him and
said, "Do men of enterprise do more or
less of that kind of business (advertising)
through the newspaper?" That proof
was sufficient and he replied, "that's en
terprise." His home is a booming little
town in Colorado, and before taking his
leave for the east, satisfaction with
Plattsmouth as a city, was expressed in
these words, "I should like to live here."
A Dead Boat Woman.
The woman who applied to County
Clerk Critchfield yesterday for assistance
tod transportation to Omaha, for, her
self and two daughters andason, proved
to be an unworthy shark. Yesterday
they spent the 'time waiting in the depot;
as Mrs. John Leach was about to close
her lunch counter the "penniless" woman
Came up to the counter and flopped a big
red handkerchief down, and as she un
felded it remarked "can you give me
paper for this?" There in the handker
chief the woman had about $30 ia silver
( iccording to her own statement.) Mrs.
Leach replied, "No, I have no paper
money, bqt maybe you can get it from the
agent at the window behind you." The
woman did'nt go to tat agent for change
but only seemed anxious to tell of her
wealth, and replied, "This is not all, my
daughter has a whole pocket full: but it
is so heavy to carry around." The
money was again wrapped and "bid
away" with the exception of ten cents
which was given to the little boy and he
was sent out to get his dinner. The
woman, two daughters and the pet dog
then hunted up an officer and enjoyed a
splendid noon meal, with Cass county as
host, which they had under great pre
tense of poverty and misfortune, obtained
promise of, trom the clerk. In the eve
ning their fare was paid to Omaha, and
today are telling it among their friends
how they "done Cass county."

Our Fire Department.
Last night the adjourned meeting
for
March of the Plattsmouth fire department
was held in the council chamber. The
usines seemed largely to relate to es
tablishing and thoroughly organizing the
.lepartment, and getting membership
.natters in order. The meeting was
pushed in a business like manner and all
che members seemed to have their atten
tion well confined to getting the depart
ment in shape. Much responsibility rests
on the department, and " the managing
officers; and every effort on the part of
r.he boys to better their means of fire
eryice will be supported by the citizens.
Though Plattsmouth has escaped a nec
essary trial of her fire department, so
that it real strength is not known, yet
the men who are in it are young and en
ergetic and caa be depended upon for
che best of service. It is hoped that the
department will ba in good shape for the
innual report which is to be made in
April, and a hearty co-operation will
oentiaue among the members in attend
ince at all meetings.

while it can be worn with as much com

give the same elegance of contour as the
heaviest board corset in the market,

give support to ;tbe back and flpine. and
in nowise interfere with the freedom and
comfort of the wearer.

District Court Notes.
Yesterday afternoon the case of Stat
or iNebiasKa vs. m. Jiringinan wn
heard before a jury. The charge wn
adultery, but the attorney for state faile
to prove that defendant was married,
previous to the elopement at Louisville
which would haye been necssary to su
tain the charge, and the court instructed
the jury to find for defendant, which
they did, and the case was dismissed.
Yesterday morning the case of C. E.
Hadley vs. Henry Math i as was heard be
fore the court and a judgment for $222
rendered in favor of plaintiff.
A very peculiar case came up this
morning in court and was still on trb.1
at press time. The paritculars are these
Henry Bachelor on March 31, 1887 while
helping turn an engine on the turn-table
in the shops, slipped and fell, the cow
catcher caught his left foot. He report
ed to Dr. Iivingston for treatment Oo
May 21, 1887, the game man - ran a nail
in his right foot and repo.ted to Dr.
Livingston again for treatment. Mr.
Bacblor's right foot now troubles him
and he sues the company for $5,000 for
injuries received by his right foot from a
cowcatcher while helping turn the
engine. The physician's recerd plaicly
states that the nail ran in the
right foot, and that Bachelor
received a "severe sprain of the lift
ankle and foot" from the cow-catcher.
Bachelor's trouble is evidently from the
nail but things seen to be mixed up and
he is sewing on the cow-catcher. Mr.
Bachelor himself this morning stated in
court he did not know which foot he ran
the nail in and the facts in the case are
making considerable fun. He assesses
damages at $5,000.

Yesterday evening two ma were tt
work under a boiler in the shops, and

happened. Colts are not to be trusted
We do not wish the manv readers of
the Herald to draw the conclusion that
there are several cases , of smallpox re
ported at our friend, Mr. Minford s, as
they naturally would from the readisg
of one of oar last week's items, but at
Denver, Colorado, instead. .
We are glad to see items from that
noted place Cottonwood but sorry , to
learn that the boys have to wear black

get out of the sport as soon as possible.
