buying a fine farm in Butler coun
ty back in 1873 but he had so much
property and other business that
he forgot to file his deed and only
accidentally found it, eighteen
years after the transfer had
been made. On investigating
the records B.ily finds T.
M. Marquette got a warranty
deed to the land in 1874 which was
duly recorded thus cutting him out
entirely unless he goes into court
and makes a showings, the chances
even then being ail, against him.

Laying the Corner Stone.
Monday will mark an epoch in
the history of this county and city.
Since the birth of this county, in
1850, when the west line extended
out beyond Lincoln and took in a
large part of Saunders county, to
gether with a part of Otoe, we have
had but one court honse, which was.
recently torn down to give place to
the magnificent new structuie so
auspiciously begun.
There have been many county
seat contests and much bitter feel
ing has been engendered between
this city and the western part of
the county, which for many years
prevented the building of a court
house. All obstacles were finally
removded last year by a decision of
the sumpreme court holding good
the ejection which voted $80,000 for
a court house building fund, and
the contract was soon let and work
begun .
Many inconveniences have been
suffered on account of the condition
of the old building, which will now
happily soon be ended. The
district court room has for several
years been in the Rockwood block,
together with the office of the
district clerk, Mr. W. C. Showalter,
who is now serving his twelfth year
in that capacity. The county
judge's office was alsojmoved out
of the old building last year and
occupies the Union block, at the
corner of Sixth and Main streets.
The other officers who occupied
the old courthouse up to the time
of its demolition to make room for
the new one were Prof. Noble, coun
ty superintendent, Bird Critchfield,
county clerk, W. H. Cushing, coun
ty treasurer, and the board of com
missioner. The office of sheriff
and county attorney was moved
out of the building last year, into
the Union block.
While Cass county is not so old
as many of the south-eastern coun
ties, the Indian title not being en
tirely obliterated until 1857, yet the
fertility of her soil and the class of
people who came here to live, has
been euch as to push the county to
the front rank, where it has to the
present day maintained its well
earned position. The push, enter
prise and capital of the citizens of
Plattsmouth Ifcas also been a
potent factor in assisting
the county to hold its
honored rank with the other cou li
lies of the state. And with the re
cent completion of the Missouri
Pacific Railway giving us a new
and direct line to the hard pine and
cheap coal of the south and furnish
ing us another out let to the south
ern markets w are compelled to say
that the fair capital of Cass coun
ty is but in its infancy, compared
with what it will be in future years.
AKliough its present population of
over ten thousandis certainly much
larger than cities usually grow with
the meagre facilities and oppor. uni
ties which Plattmouth has former
ly enjoyed. Our population has
doubled since 1880 and we believe
the signs of the times point
clearly to the fact that
our population will double
again in the coming decade, thus
giving us 20,000 people ere the
dawn of 1900 breaks upon us.
