The great amount of public and pri
yate improvement this spring is a matter
of general comment, and la an exceed
ingly good omen. On every hand there
lented activity and cheer-
g .
fulness one cannot help but notice.
The city has purchased two large
railroad wheel scrapers, capable of mov
ie" about a half yard of dirt at each
dump. These are being used on the
Fifth street filling, and they are working
in a manner that gives full satisfaction,
and they will prove a source of economy
to the city.
The city election is approching and
as yet there seems to be no excitment
oyer the matter. This is eminently pro
tier. Let everybody keen cool and re
member that what we want is & pr.ogres
mve body of city officials, lbere is no
standing still after a city has gained the
importance of our city, and it is very
enthnsin? to observe the boldnes with
which Plattmouth is pushing ahead
The credit fcr this activity reverts back
largely to the work done through the
citv council. There is no fear for the
a
city's prosperous future as long as that
body ia composed of honest buisiness
a a
men.
The Ashland Leader complains that
the boys of that city have cultivated a
love for a little spending money which
developed into the practice of picking
up everything saleable and packing it
off to a junck buyer. Iron castings, tin
boilers with copper bottoms, etc., have
suffered severely in that place: but it i
equalled by the raid on chicken coops,
which was kept up by boys in ' this city
till a few nights ago. It is over this
road that many young lads have found
themselves in the state reformatory, and
whether the parents' fault or not. if thev
have any. there seems to be more to fol
low. 7 Court notes were rather scarce again
today. The jury case of Champion Ma
chine Co., vs. Fred Goader occupied the
time this forenoon, and the jury ws out
t press time. In this cose the company
aes Mr. Gordcr for $114 while he, not
disputing the company's claim, brings in
a bill for rebates on eight machines and
two deficient ones. After nooh tho court
heard the case of School District (or Cass
county) No. 22 vs. Reed. . There were a
number of parties from Weeping Water
interested in this case, viz: Messrs. E. L.
Reed, P. S. Barnes, Johuatban Chase, A.
T. Show, B. A. Gibson and Scott Davis.
Mrs. Todd, mother of A. B. Todd,
is the honorable rcceipient of a beautiful
piece of lilac colored satin ribbon from
Mrs. President Harrison. Mrs. Todd is
well known in Cass county for the beau
tiful crazy quilts which she has made
and exhibited at the fairs, and it was ber
desire to make another fine silk one, and
if possible, have a piece of 3frs. Presi
dent Harrison's inauguration dress in it.
Mrs. Todd wrote to Mrs. Harrison for a
piece of the dress and the reply came
that the dress was made away from home
an l she had no pieces, but sent the rib
bon instead. It is to Mrs. Todd a
treasure piece of ribbon and will be a de
sirable quilt that contains it.

THE CITY'S GRADING.
Lots of It to be Done and ihe Most
Economical Means Adopted,
Still There Is Kicking.
To one who would take the pains to
observe and enquire, the city has a very
economical plan now in operation for
for the removal of surplus dirt from the
streets to be graded, and filling the city
part of the old creek beds, and yet the
plan is only an experiment All the
creek beds have to be tailed and it is
ricrht that the city should do its part of
a -
the work immediately and let the citizens
follow. On Main and 7th streets there
was a little grading to be done and this
dirt was needed to fill the creek beds at
Sixth and Fifth streets at their crossing
of Pearl. To get the work done quickly
and avoid delay of advertising for bids
it was found ad visible to hire men and
teams by the day for the work, and
about fifteen men and teams are now at
work.
As soon as the city set to work in this
manner, which has proved a very
economical ens. the Journal comes out
with a song from three or four men, pre
pared to do contracting in grading,
kicking because the city was doing the
work itself, and the Journal took up
the cause by saying:
If there is any favoritism in the man
agement of city improvments that does
not promote, primarly. the best interests
of the whole city, the journal propos
es to do what it can to find it out and
e-ive it to the public without fear or
favor.
That paper also quotes one man as giv
ing his opinion that the dirt, to be re'
moved from Main street would cost the
city !0c This is apparently from
prejudiced miscalculation, for the dirt
has been removed and has not cost oyer
15 or 18 cents a yard. Every yard of
dirt being transferred by the city itself is
beintr Lent track of and in the end an
average cost will be computed, per yard,
but it will not b3 over 20c. If this dirt
had been let on contract the city would
have bad to pay at least 25c. Last year
the onenincr of Third street. Fifth street
a r
arsd Oak street, on Third, was done at a
contract price of If the-city had
done this work itself it is doubtful
if it would have run over 15 cents
perf-ard at either place, and much of it
could have been done at 12c, for all that
was necessary was to draw the dirt over
the bank. Of course it is slower work in
finishing up a job and getting au ''edge"
onto it, but that amounts to nothing in
the whole cost. The way grading and
filling is now being done the city saves
from 5 to 10 cts. on all dirt, than though
it were contracted at the usual price.
The city council is rather to be compli
mented than censured for the pushing of
the grading and filling new under way.
Larger jobs are coming, and if eatisfacr
tory bids can be obtained the work can
be given to contractors.
The IIeeaJ.d has investigated the
matter in question and finds all' well
pleased with the economy of the present
way of doing grading, except it be the
contractors, and the insulting intimations
made by the Journal on the council
nbout partialities are disgusting.
OBITUARY.
Died: Lily Greusel, aged 11 years 3
months and 23 days, March 21, at
8:1.1 p. m., at the home of het parents,
corner Third and Marble streets.
Death came as a sudden messenger last
night to the home of E. S. Greusel, and
plucked the fairest flower from the midst
of a ljving family. Ihe child was in
usual health till Tuesday noon when, not
feeling well, she remained home- from
school at the advice of her mother.
i a y a. t m t
uat mgm ur. i. x Livingston was
called ana though the trouble was not
plain the symptoms were those of rheu
matism of the muscles. But the patient
rapidly grew worse through "Wednesday
and yesterday spasms set in. Mr. Greusel
was culled from his dutis at the shops
at noon aod Dr. A. Shipman was called
with Dr. Livingston. At first the child
could eat a little, but an effort to drink
was too great and would throw her into
spasms, and water could barely be swal
lowed a drop at a time. The symptoms
were those of hydraphobia and nothing
could be done to relieve the suffering,
but deatli came at 8 o'clock. It is a sad
circumstance incieeci, anu uearttelt sym
pathies ate extended from all the city to
the bereaved parents and family, Lily
was so tender and kind and ber loving
disposition toward all hsd won her many
friends. She was not a robust child but
was the lily of the family, full worthy her
name The grounds to believe the case
was hydrophobia are strong. She was
bitten about a year ago by a dog which
was immediately shot by Officer Fitzpat
rick, and about six weeks ago a pet pup
bit her on the hand. Mr. Greusel is wide
ly known in this city. He was for many
years foreman of the B. A M. machine
shops, and was last year promoted to
master mechanic, and the sympathy of
the hundreds of shop men are giyen in
heart, if they cannot be expressed.
The funeral services will be held Sun
day at 2 p. m., from the family residence.
