PLATTSMOUTH OBSERVATIONS.
How She Has Kept a Steady Growth
for 33 Year and Is Now Rising
Rapidly.
Truly, She Is of Nebraska The Star
City.
Iu August, 1850, the writer, then a
small boy, visited the Star City for the
first time. Of course there wasn't much
of a city here at that time, but a good
place to build one. Two small general
stores, a shop or two, and three or four
dwelling houses of small size and inferior
construction, comprised the town.
Thirty-three years hare vanished into
the misty past and Plattsmouth has stead
ily kept paca with the growth aad de
velopment of the state. Neyer at any
time has anything like the traditional
"boom" come to her like it has to many
other towns, giving them a spasmodic
mushroomy growth, being almost invar
iably followsd by a collapse, in values
that is productive of sheriffs' sales, thus
gi viag a veritable "boom" to that officer's
calling. On the contrary, Plattsmouth
has gone steadily forward, improving as
desire or business demanded. If a fine
residence was desired, some one was
ready to build it; if a business block was
needed to accommodate the growing
trade, up it went; was a bauk, store,
factory or any enterprise in demand,
they were organized and put in operation
at once, and nearly all have proved
stayers.
Our court records show very few fore
closures of mortgages, compared with
"boomed" cities.
We are now in a season of unusual
growth and prosperity. The enterprises
inaugurated this spring will, when com
pleted and put in operation, add largely
to our business and population, which,
by a late census, is already over eleven
thousand souls, and it is not a wild guess
to say that within five years we will have
a population of twenty thousand and
that the volume of business will be
doubled. And this reminds us that real
estate in Plattsmouth is very cheap and
is certain to return to the investor a hnnd
lome profit in the near future. In no
city of ten thousand or even five thous
and inhabitants with less than a quarter
of the business of Plattsmouth, can one
buy business or residence lots as cheaply
as here, and our people are beginning to
realize this fact and are in many cases
refusing offers for property that would
haye been thought liberal a few years
ago. With our water and sewerage sys
tems, paved afreets, gas plant, motor
street cars, electric light and factories,
tha griat Burlington shops and elegant
business houses we can justly claim to be
the third and Stab City of Nebraska.

Going out to buy us clothing,
Ooinjc out. the bills to pay;
Coming ui so very slowly,
Coming in each working day;
Going out from us so easy.
Coming In, so hard to win.
Ceaseless stream of little pennies
Going out and coming In.
Through the many wante of home life.
From beneath our humble cot;
To the butcher and the baker
Where the meat and bread are bought.
From the old and much worn wallet,
To the cruel world of greed;
Going out with sighs and sadness.
To supply each family need.
Through the wants that crowd us daily.
Through the bills that muut be met.
Through the many needs of children.
Where the family's growing yet;
To the busy world about us.
With its heartless woe and sin,
Retitless Ktream of little pennies.
Bushing out Into the din.
Coming back so very slowly.
Though we try to toil and save;
Coming to the dear old homestead.
Coming in to keep us brave;
Weary, are we very often.
Weary, when we try to win.
From the world, the little pennies.
Which are slow in coming in.
Going out to pay the taxes.
Coming in our hearts to cbeet ,
Going out to pay for schooling,
Coming In to family dear;
Ceaseless stream of little pennies.
Which we find so hard to win.
From the doorways of the homestead,
Goius out and coming in.

Cultivation of Soys.
There are us a rule plenty of boys on
the farm, but, as the Iowa State Register
said recently, their cultivation is fre
quently sadly neglected. They are not
cultivated in a way to make them con
tented and successful farmers. The fa
thers of the boys on the farms do not
sufficiently take them into their confi
dence, to consult them about all of the
farm operations and give them to feel
they are partners in all that is done.
The father should also, when he sells his
hogs, cattle, horses, or any of the crops,
sit down with his boys and tell all about
the sale, the amount received, and com
pare the cost and profit of one class of
farming over the other. Show them by
figures what it costs to raise wheat and
corn, as well as what amount of corn and
grass each animal eats during his life and
what each brought in the market. In
this way boys will be cultivated into
thinking, intelligent farmers, instead of
mere drudges.
Then the boys should be consulted what
to do with the money received from the
crop that their joint labor has produced.
The father can point out to them what
debts liave to be paid, what the necessi
ties of the family for food and clothing
will require, and how the balance shall
be invested whether in buying more
land, laying a foundation for improved
breeds of stock, and what it shall be. In
this way report all of the operations, the
same as you would to partners in busi
ness. They are partners, arid they should
be made to feel that they are truly part
ners in the work, and partners in direct
ing all of the operations of the farm.
Some Dates of Easter Sunday.
Thomas Cunningham, of this place,
who is a corresponding member of the
Numismatic and Archaeological society,
of New York, possesses, among his many
other "purios," a complete file pf Phin
ney's Almanac from 1803 to 1887, inclu
sive.the publication of which was stopped
in 1837. In looking over them one is
struck by the variety of dates on which
Easter Sunday occurs, every day in the
month of April being represented except
the last five. Throughout the file it oc
curs five times on the 19th and five times
on the 16th pf April; four times, on each
the Jst, 2d, 11th' and 12th pf April, and
four times on the 81st of March; three
times on the 4th, Sth, 6th, Tth, 8th, 10th.
13th, 14th and 22d of April and the 27th
and 28th of March; April 25, 1886, being
the latest and March 22,1818, the earliest
dates on which it occurs. Eight dates in
March are represented, viz;,; 22d. 23d,
25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 80th and 81st.

The Consrresatloual ReaortU
The several thousand non-paying and
half dozen paying subscribers to that
especial journal. The Congressional Rec
ord, now miss its neatly cut acd bound
pages from Iheir morning maiL It is
noteworthy that up to its dying day
The Congrestional Record was full of
speeches, some of which were "deliv
ered" iu senate or house two months
before, and "held for revision." The
veteran statesman nearly always lets
his remarks go in the manner in which
they are caught by the official stenog
rapher; the amateur statesman not only
wants to reviw) his speeches, but to read
tlwi proof before The Record is put to
prfls. Senator Cullom often laughs at the
rather ridiculous zeal displayed by him
self when he '.vas a member of the fresh
man claus in the house. That was just
twenty-four years ago. The then Rep
reuentati ve Cu Horn had made a big speech
on the polygamy question, and he
determined to see that speech to press.
At the old Globe office 1i wrs. ti! I t h?
proof would ha reaJ y ut o clow-- ii the
morning. At 2 o'clock he was told ho
would liave to wait until 3, and at 8 Ids
pulse quickened as the proof of his first
congressional speech was placed in his
hands. He spent a half hour over the
proof and was unable to find any errors.
typographical or others. The foreman
was calling loudly for the proof so the
forms could be put on the press, and the
young congressman was determined to
find an error of some sort to repay him
for his all night vigiL Finally, in
moment of desperation, he struck out a
whole sentence and crawled off to bed.
Rising about noon he eagerly grasped
The Globe, and with humiliation discov
ered tliat the only blemish on the compo
sition of the speech was the unhappy
omission of that sentence, whose ab-
epnee left a number of other sentences
well nigh meaningless. Since that night
Mr. Cullom has not bothered the govern
ment printer to send him proofs of his
speeches. Walter Wellman.
The Ravages of the Tiger.
According to the administration re
port of Java recently laid before the
Dutch chambers, portions of that island
are being depopulated through the
tigers. In 1882, the population of a vil
lage in the southwest of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred to
an island off the coast in consequence of
the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now become
an intolerable pest in parts of the same
province. The total population is about
600,000, and in 1887 sixty-one were killed
by tigers, and in consequenco of the
dread existing among the people, it has
been proposed to deport the inhabitants
of the villages most threatened to other
parts of the country where tigers are not
so common, and where they can pursue
their agricultural occupations with a
greater degree of safety.
At present they fear to go anywhere
near the borders of the forest. The peo
ple at present seem disinclined, or they
lack the means and courage, to attack
and destroy their enemy, although con
siderable rewards are offered by the gov
ernment for the destruction of beasts of
prey. In 1888 the reward for killing a.
royal tiger was raised to ?00 florins. It
appears also th"at the immunity of the
tiger is in part due to superstition, for it
is" considered wrong to kill one unless he
attacks first or otherwise doe injury.
Moreover, guns were always very rare
in this particular district, and, since a
rising a few years ago, have been taken
away by the authorities altogether. Ex
