Plattsmouth is beginng to receive
the attention of Captal, and envy of sis
ter cities to which her most magnificent
position entitles her.
All children expecting to take part
in the Grand Army entertainment, to be
given by the W. K. C, on the night o
May 30, are requested to meet tomorrow
afternoon, at O. A. R. hall.
The fire boys who attend the Stat
tournament at Red Cloud July 16 to 10
are promised a good time. They have
a fine system of water works there to
experiment with 52 pounds pressure.
Drs. Scbildknecht and Sijreins this
afrernoon amputated a fincer for Mrs
JJeal, on Pearl street, and in the opera
tion used the local antithetic, instead o
chloroform. She was perfectly conscious
and felt no pain at all, during the ampu
lating.
Those cottonwood trees, which were
set cut fifteen years ago to grow fast and
make shade, a;e now flying cotton al
over the city, which lights tenderly on a
person's neck, and reminds them
would be a good plan for all those trees
to be amputated near the ground.
Today there passed through the city
11 teams, 11 wheel scrapers, eight wag
ons loaded with camping outfits, with a

There is a natural reckless and daring
impalse in boys in every town, which
leads them to attempt to perform any
feat that they can come just so near to
being killed and not get hurt at all.
The banks where grading has been done
are cut full of steps where the boy has
made his way from the street to the top.
Last evening three youngsters started to
ascend the east bank of the Third street
cut which is about twenty-five feet higV
They opened their jack knives and begn
cutting notches by which to ascend.
Two got about as high as their heads,
while the third reached a pointy ful'y
fifteen feet above the ground. Ileie the
bank grew so perpendicular he couldn't
go any higher. The boy was actually in
eril. An open knife was in one hand
the other grasped the top notch he had
cut and one foot rested in a lower notch,
About two inches deep. The notches
tiaU been cut about eighteen inches apart,
and the dirt on which his foot rested was
only clay and liable to give way without
warning. Any one who has ever climb
ed a bank in this manner knows it is
next to impossible to retracs one's stops.
The lad realized he couldn't hold his
equilibrium and go any farther, and
after hesitating until he began to tremble,
he started to descend. lie reached the
ground safely, but the feat was as risky
&s climbing. Today, he will forget his
fears and brag to the .rest of the boys
how high he got, and some daring kid
will try to out do his mark and get his
peck broken, which would be about the
only warning a boy would take to keep
off the banks.

A Noon Day Wadding With Lanze
Attendance-
At 11:30 this forenoon Fred W. Ebin-
ger and Miss Mary Weidmaan were mar
ried at the borne of the bride's parents on
Sixth street in the presents of a large
company of freinds, by Judge Russell
Grand preparations had been made for
the occasion and freinds from the city
and country had come - to participate in
the festivities celebrating the start in
wedded life by this couple. A grand
feast was served to the gussts.
Mr. F. W. Ebinger.the groom, is widly
known in the city, is clerk in the hard
ware store of Weidmann & Brekenf eld,
which position he has held for a number
of years. Te bride is also well known,
having resided here and associated in
society many years. The circle of
freinds that extends congratulations is
lare.
Christian Forgiveness.
At the last election our esteemed
townsman, Stephen Buzzell, was- in- tho
village of Weeping Water, an eye witness
to the fraud and corruptions by which
the town site company were attempting
to secure an expression of popular will,
and to falsify the vote of this county.
The presence of Mr. Buzzell served as a
deterrment to the thugs and corrupt! on
ista engaged in the business. Thereupon
he was attacked by those thugs and
wuld-be assassins and forcibly driven
from the village without even permission
to take his team with him. Now then,
from the conduct of Mr. Buzzell, does he
nurse his injuries and determine upon
revenge! JNo, but witn a spirit of for
"iveness and regard, as it were, for the
lawlessness and thugery which was
conducted in that place, he goes there,
almost in the identical locality that per
petrated the great wrongs upon his con
stitutional rights, and selects one of tli
fairest maidens in the land and leads her
a blushing bride to the altar and, she i
now Mrs. Buzzell. but was at that time
Mrs. Eja Cntchfield.

Three Parties Arrested. Tried and
Released.
On Saturday last Benjamin Albin.a well
to do and respected farmer living ten or
eleven miles south of this city, as admin
istrator for the estate of John C. Rakes
deceased, held 'an administratar's sale,
It was thought quite a sum of money had
been taken in by Mr. Albin. In the eve
ning he found it necessary to go to Union
on buisinesa. As he was returning and
coming through a lonly part of the raod
about a half a mile west of his place,
three men disguised with hankerchiefa
over their faces stepped into the road.
One grabbed the horses' heads, another
covered Albin with a revolver and tho
other did the talking.
As requested Mr. Albin banded out
his pocket book. The Speaker then ask
ed him where he wished to go, to which
he replied "home." He vas then ordered
into the back end of his spring wagon,
tba harness reins were unsnapped and
the highwaymen tvok their way acrosed
the field to where it ;s supposed
they had a team. Mr. ' Al
bin went home that night and did noth
ing till Sunday when he had Bob Ken
dall, Chas. Circe and another party
named Mac Walter at rested. These
parties demanded an immediate trial and
Juftlioe Barnum heard the case. Lawyer
C. L.- Graves appeared for the defen
dant3 and the proprietor pf the billiard
hall appeared as attourney for prosecu
tion. Defendants proved that they were
at Gruben's drinking wine at the time of
tho robbery and the case was dssmissed.
The robbers would have been more
succesful in securing money had not Mr
Albin deposited a large part of the' re
ceipts of the the day in a trunk before
leaving houe. jt was they only se

Lincoln Journal Topics: When Col.
Phinaes T, Barnum remarked that people
liked to be humbugged he showed tli:t
he was a close student of human nutuio
and an observing man. People like to
be humbugged te the belief that tb"y
are sick, for instance. And then ihey like
to be humbugged into the belief that they
haye been cured, and they pay their mon
ey for the fun of it. It is strange that so
many will patronize fakers of all discrip
tions. There are several Indian "doctors"
traveling about the country just now;
selling ."remedies" for the cure of every
thing from a bad cold to eternity, and
they are making money hand over fist.
It is improbable that any one of these
fiery Kickapoo physicans knows the dif
ference between a calamel and a yellow
ochre, yet people rush to them and buy
their fool medicines by the ton. There
are Chinese doctors who claim inaryellQUs
powers in the line of healing, and they
are piling up big bank accounts. . An

other fakir who finds numerous victims is
more absurd by the pretense of discribing
a man s future by examining bis band.
A'Lincoln young man recently visUed
a prophetess, and was assured that he
would soon marry a tall woman with
auburn hair. He was deeply impressed
by the imformation, and went home in a
sombre mood. He had been married
several years and bis wife was still abid-
ins wilh him. The humbug business
is even found where religon is concerned
People who will not go to church and
listen to intelligent sermons will be
"converted" by some street shouter who
has a minstrel choir and a fiddler to play
"Nearer My God to Thee" and other
sacred melodies. It is a wot Id of hum
bug, and humbug continues after death.
It is a humbug decorate a coffin with
silver and gold and then put under the
sod forever. It is a humbug to" put a
monument over the head of a man who
starved to death; and it is a humbug to
speak cf the deceased as being with the
angels when we know that the deceased
is a stoker below.

Oents: Your Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Hib
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did
so it awakened in me an interest neyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story. For years I have been
gceatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about only with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this tay stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my day. A
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced me to try it. I have taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction' than in writing you
I am a well man.
It will be a' pleasure for me to auswe;
any commutations, for I believe it to
be the best remedy ever formulated."
