The wenther was clear and quits pleasent overhead, but muddy roads and gcner.il run of the weather for the week had a depresing ef fect ou the attendance. The score is as follows: Innings... 1 2 3 i 5 ti 7 8 9 PUtts 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 2 0,-G W. Omaha 1 03 0 02300-9 Base hits were, Wefct Omaha 0, Platts mouth 4. The West Omaha nine proved to be a gcod club and they played well; as base ranners they were good, probably the best set of men for that purpose that have ever played here. Their batting strength was well in the catcher and 3rd base man Patterson and Linahan. Crow, their pitcher, was a colored man. Linahan made three hits and tallys and Patterson made two hits and three talleys so that two-thirds of the West Omaha score was made by these two men. The Plattsmouth boys played notably well in Omaha's Gfth and eighth innings. In the fifth inning the Omaha's got 10 balls nine being as few as they could be put out on, and in the eighth, eight pitched balls and a side out set them down on & goose egg.

I have not heretofore been in favor of Plattsmouth for the county seat but since the election demonstrated that a majority of the peo ple of Cass county are in favor of Platts mouth I am now convinced that the best interests of the property owners will be served by yoting the boads for the con struction of a building in which the r3 cords of county wijl be safe. We became so accustomed to the argu ment that the county seat should be in the centre of the county that we lost sight of the fact that Plattsmouth city and precinct, contain one-fourth of the entire population af the county and more than one-forth of its taxable property, while more than another oue-forth "is tributary to Plattsmouth. And I also believe that Plattsmouth is increasing in population much more rapidly than any other section of the county so that no great injustice will be done to the major ity of the people by voting the bonds, and thus for the present, at least, relieve us of the almost incessant county seat agitation. But the question - of most in portancc to the people of Cats county Is not whether Plattsmouth should or should not be the county seat, but whether we should have a safe place for the keeping of the county records. They are now scattered about the town of Plattsmouth and in case of fire would in all probability be totally destroyed and I might add that the ta ve will be called upon to pay in the event of an election favorable to the bonds will be .very small compared with the loss we would sustain in case the records of this county sfe.quld bo destroyed by fire. The question therefor is not one of Joye for, or prejud:ce ag&inst.Plattsmonth but is a matter of the preservation of the coun ty's records, which appeals to the common sense of all property owners for support f(t the bonds.
