Last night a party of five couples
railed on Mias May Patterson to have
u surprise party. Refreshments wire on
hand in abundance and a yery enjoyable
eve ning was the result.
In the case of Hay vs. the C. TJ. & Q.,
tried at (Jlenwood this week, the court
decided in favor of the railroad. The
first case decided for the road in
couit for about two years.
The colored man, known
Ned, evidently believes in
having anything unless you use it.
placed two stiff hats on his head
morning, and wore them both.
I). J. Kimball, of ML Pleasant
cinct was in town today and claimed and
got the bouuty on tx wolf scalps, five
young and one old. Since January 1,
lxflD, $222 have been paid out for wolves
nnd 74 wolves have been killed. Sev
eral wild cats have also been killed, on
which the bounty is $1.
?ratrimony makes old people happy,
H3 well as the young, evidently, regard
less of size, also. The Herald scribe
today, met a little old man, about forty
inches high, with a broad grin on his
face and a large white envelope in bis
hand, coming out of the county judge's
office. The judge' had just recorded a
marriage license for Mr. Simon .Snnitli
and Mrs. Barbara Price, ages 54 and 40,
' respectively, of Cedar Creek.
The Hkrai.d has today had a score
of favorable remarks passed upon the
communication published last night on
the high school, but the sentiment of all
was expressed by one when he said, "It
is a matter of regret that this oueiiion
has not been agitated for the last three
years. As it is, the high school has been
let go by default, and when more than
half the people of the town plainly say
it is time for a change, it aught to Le
jnade.

which may be thrown over the dashboard
ready to be seized at once. When the
horse starts take up the extra reins and
tighten the cord around the horse's neck.
The most furious horse thus choked stops
mstantly and will not kick or fall.
The fact that people like to go away
from home for something, when they
could scrape up just good or better
material at home, was demonstrated in
our city this moraing. J. B. Strode
camo down from Lincoln this morning,
and he had hardly got in town before he
was called to the telephone office by
Lincoln. The commander of the G. A.
II. Post at Lincoln, was at the other end
of the line and was desirous of engaging
him for a memorial speech on Decora
tion day. Mr. Strode is a Lincoln man
and tho commander, knowing he couldn't
get better material, evidently felt a
though it might be a little foreign to
invite him while away from home.

Special commissions, with most elegant
invitations have been sent to President
Diaz of Mexico and President Harrison
of the United States and it is expected
that they will meet at the palace.. The
palace is built entirely of Texas products
and will mt a glance, as it were, show a
visitor what that great state is. Its
twelve towers and magnificent exterior
will be dressed with cotton, wheat, corn,
oats, sugar-cane, varieties of grasses,
vegetables, fruits and flowers, all grown
in Texas. The coal, iron ores and iron
products, lead, copper, plutinum, mica,
. granite, marble, sandstone and limestone
will be erected into temples. In huge
aquariums will be the fishes found in
Texas rivers, lakes and in the gulf
borderin the state. Wool, leather, salt,
sugar and gypsum will be made into
houses, and, in fact, every product of
Texas will be put into the construction
of the palace and displayed in the in
terior. The entire state will be interested
.and represented.
BOARD OF TRADE.
Water Power, Masons' Home and
Pontoon Bridge Discussed.
Hoard of trade had a called meeting at
their hall last at which there was medium
attendance. After reading minutes th
president anounced the principle object
of the meeting was to hear the report o
the committee appointed to visit Kearney
and investigate her water power.
It. li. Windham, as chairman of th
committee, read the report wuicli was in
substance principly as follows: The can
al is the principle element on which
Kearney bases her future. It is 10 mile
lonir. 20 feet wide and 21 feet deep; the
canal is now being deepened to 4 feet by
dredging. The only use now to which
power from the fall in the canal is put
Is to turn turbine wheels to furnish pow
er for working electric dynamos to pro
duce electricity, which is now used for
li-ihtinir and power purposes. The com
mittee beleiyes any amount power can be
produced by means of a canal, by the
construction of one near our city, because
water can Le had in never failing quanti
ties; and the power will also greatly be
usefulf because of the great railroad dis
tributing point and its nearness to Oma
ha. Kearney owes Its prosperity more to
tho push and energy of its people than
the water power."
The report also showed that the elec
trie power at Kearney now run 2- arc
lights, 12,000 incandescents, and most of
the machinery in the tow a a'fts run by it.
That the committee owed graditude to
Dr. O. S. Warden, president, of the board
of trade, and N. J. Switz. Mr. Wind
ham also called attention to the fact that
very little of the power attainable was
in use. Wm. Neville moved thut the re
port of the r omniittee be accepted and
the committee also instructed to look in
to the feasability of utilizing the power
in tho Missouri river.
The motion was dropped for a time.
C. W. Sherman presented figures to the
board from B. & M. track surveys
as follows: "The elevation of. the track
at Orcapol.: is 920 feet above the sea
level. At Cedar Creek ihe track is 975
feet and at Louisville 992. The fajl
from Ced$r Creek to Oreapolisi3 49feet.'
Showing that the fal would make good
power.
More"dicufiions continued when Mr.
Nc7. Ie renewed his motion wmcu was
seconded and p'cd.
F. E. White stated the fason o th
state preposed the building of a home for
widows and orphans. Intention at pre.
scut to build about $20,000 of buildings
and send .the children to" the public
schools. The Masons are receiving bids
at Omaha which will be opened May 20.
On motion a committee of R. B. Wind
ham J. O. Richey and J. II. Waterman
wa3 appointed to work up an offer. In
the continued discussion of the cnnal ques
tion, the general opinion seemed to be
that it was hardly a practicable enter
prise, on account of the lay of the ground
and wattr ways to be crossed.
The question of a pontoon bridge
witli Mr. Stewart's last proposition was
enthusiastically discussed and on motion
a committee of Wm. Neville, W. S,
Wise and II. C. Ilitche were appointed
to solicit stock holders.
Board adjourned.

-A few nights ago a gentleman who
had undressed fcnd prepared for bed blew
out the lamp on the table and was group
ing his way across the room, feeling for
the bed, when his toe struck something
pliant. The thing seemed to open its
mouth as he put the weight of his foot
upon it,and he jerked ub his foot in
double quick time, while the thing held
on and dangled from his toe. There was
a lively dancing around the room and the
man made a lively 'acket with his mouth
until he succeeded in slinging the thing
across the room. Then he jumped on the
table and stood there until he could sccur
a light.. Over where the thing struck
the wall he saw his wife's bustle lying on
he floor; He kicked niuvielf a few times
and went to bed, but his wife kept him
awake an hour laughing at him. Red

The E lectric Enterprises.
The plans to manipulate Plattsmouth's
electric enterprises are now being push 1
into active operations. It is expect .-d
the first work by the Oppermann Electric
Lamp Mf'g Co., will be done in J uly.
The factory building is now being bt:"lt.
The boilers and engines ordered from the
Taylor Manufacturing Co., of Chambcrs
burg will be shipped Monday, May 27,
and by the time they arrive here their
foundations at the factory will be ready
to receive them, also the bases for the
dynamos. To supply the machinery and
essential material to begin the manufact
ure of lamps, E. L. . Oppermann and O.
II. Ballou are now in Chicago ordering
the entire outfit which it will be neces
sary to have.
The Electric Motor Railway company
have given the contract for cars, and all
road supplies, to the Western Engineering
company who will put .in the Spague
oyerhead system. In this system the
current will pass from the dynamo over
the wire suspended over the track, and
will return along an underground wire
which is called the underground return
curreDt. The track when changed to run
the motor cars will lay as follows: The
line from the north shop gate to Main
street on Third will be the branch line;
the main line will begin at Richey street
on Main, west on Main to Sixth, north on
Sixth to Elm, west on Elm to Spring,
south on Spring to Oak, west on Oak to
Mercer avenue, north on Mercer ayenue
to term in as. The contract for the chang-
ing and laying of the track according to
this route will probably, be let today.
Cars are to be running on August 1st, or
before.
For establishing the electric light plant
enough incandescent and arc lamps have
been subscribed for. to warrant putting
it in, and O. II. Ballou and J. J. Eyering
ham are now in Chicago ordering wires,
insulators and the necessary materials for
establishing a complete electric system.
Dynamos of a capacity of COO incandc
bCent and 50 arc lamps are to be bought
to start with, and when this beautiful
light is established the patronage ought
to increase rapidly.
At a special meeting of the council
Tuesday night ten arc lamps were order
ed for the use of the city, to be afterward
located,. By September t electric lights
will be doing seryicc.
The push and enterprise manifested by
the men who have carried these plans
thus far witli such success, and will see
them executed to perfection, is the kind
that always succeeds and is the life blood
of Plattsmouth or any other progressing
city.
