Dr. Wither, Dentist, lalon Block. CITY CORDIALS. DEATH OF SISTER CHKYOSTOM Umbrellas, rubber coats and door mat are all the go with the householders now. The Washington banquet on Apri 30, will be an affair to be long remem bered. The preparations for the Methodist Easter entertainment Friday night arc quite extensiye. The Nebraska City Press suggests that the bold bank robber of Dcnyer of two weeks ago may be Quinn Dobanuan The description fits, and the boldness ol the robbery was not beyond his daring. From last week's publication of the Blair Pilot one would observe that Blair is not iroinsr to tro dry this season. Blair is a place of 2,500 or 3,000 people and there are seven applications for saloons and four for drug stores before thecaun- to sell malt, spiritous and vinous liquors The Washington banquet seems to be absorbing much of the social and pa triotic interest at present, but decoration day is rapidly approaching, which sug gests the query as to what will be done on that sacred day. Plenty of time yet, however, remains, for extensive and ap- propritate ceremonies to be planned for. The several recent fires in this city seems to be a caution to guard again&t that destroyer. But this is not the only place where spring is characterized with fires. Reports from all parts of the state show that fire is a frequent visitor to many places of minor proportions than Plattsmouth, and with more sejious re sults, nevertheless all should keep on their guard. 'No sir, I am not a candidate for re election." remarked County Commis sioner Dickson yesterday, in reply to an inquiry made by the Echo man. He continued: "'I have served three years with the expiration of this term and have tried to serve the county as best I knew how, and am now willing to step down and out." 3Ir. Dickson has undoubted ly made one of the best county commis sioners we have ever had, and should he desire to return, his friends would stand by him; but he positiyely declines. EIniwood Echo. ACood Company. The Clair Pateo company appear ed at the opera house Monday night in "Queena" and tast night "In an Evening Out." Both plays were presented in first-class manner and fur better than it was expected by those who were in at tendance. Every one is fully up in his or her part and we assure the public that the company is better than any other re petition company ever visiting our city and are deserving of a better patronage than they have aeceived so far. Miss Edith Arnold, the leading lady, has been a stranger in our city but has won a place in the esteem and affections of our theatre going public. Mr. Simms, just the plain comedian, carries his part well, and you must see him to appreciate his fine come dy, and he is a great success as an Irish comedian, in which part you will see biro, tonight, as the company presents the great Madison Square success. "The Martyr," a great society drama by the author of the "Two Orphans." They should be greeted by a packed house. First of the season, Phil Young's cele brated cream Soda Water and pure Milk Shake. Try his new Milk Shake flavor, also pure fruit juices used in flavoring bis syrups. Regardless of the high price charged for ice, Phil will sell Soda Water and Milk Shake at 5c and pro poses to giye you the best in the city. i Casts a Sad Gloom Over St. Jahn's School. ' Died: Sister Chryostom, of pneumonia at St. John's school, April 17, at -. 2:0 a. in., aged 35 years. A gloom spread over the citizens of Roman Catholic faith this morning as well as the attendants of St. John's school, as the news of the death of Sister Chryostom of that school, was spread about. Mus Chryostom has been instructor in music in the Catholic school for time time, and in that art was very proficieut in every department. Deceased wan 35 years old, and was subject to heart trouble, bnt for about three weeks has been confined to her room with pneu monia, from which she died this morn ing. She was born and raised in Portag, Wis., and attended the convent at Sin sinaw.i Mound, that state, and to the latter place the remains will betaken for interment. Because of her death the St. John school has been closed and will not be opened until next week; and Father Carney, of the Catholic church, sister superior and another sister of the school will accompany the remains to the place of burial.

A Little Fault Finding- Considerabla criticism was heard yes terday of the way things went at the Doyle fire Monday evening. The fault found was in the lack of all system or ord. r, and no fire commander was there in charge. Of course the firemen were on h:iud but the water thrown from the hose was thrown in confusion and with out instruction and wet up the goods that had been removed from the house; and again, while the firemen were outside when all fire was really out, parties with out authority were inside jamming holes in lUs wall searching for fire after the house had been soaked almost from end to end. Of course nothing was done but what was in earnestness and sincerity, but the excitement that prevails at a fire needs :i cool-headed foreman and one or two fire policemen whose duty is nothing but to instruct in the application of water and re3, and forbid unnecessary de struction oi! property.
