Phil Spencer, well known in this
city, but now of Colorado, received
notice through his agent, James
Matthews, of this city, that he had
been granted a pension of $12 per
month. Mr. Mathews is building
up a good pension business, by the
courteous manner applicants are
treated at his hands, and a man

in Mr. Mathews hands.
The proprietor of the Greenwood

remove his plant to York if he
can sell some stock so as to increaoe
his working capital. What's the

ing after this proposition; there is
no use of a manufacturing plant
moving out of the county, if the
proprietor has to move, why not
move to Plattsmouth?
The young men around town are
having a good laugh at the expenee
of one of their associates. A cer
tain 3-0ungman.no names metioned
left last evening on the flyer for
Pacific Junction for the purpose of
meeting a lady friend expecting to
catch the K. C. train and come back.
Hut his anticipations were greater
than his realizations. The flyer
met the K. C, on the side track be
tween here and Pacific Junction
and he was carried on to the Junc
tion. The young man had to wait
in Pacific Junction two or three
long and weary hours for No. 3
which was late. He finally arrived
in Plattsmouth only to find an
other fellow had gone to church
with his girl.
F. F Rex ford, has recently been
experimenting with cooked corn
meal as feed for hogs. He weighed
four young hogs that tipped the
beam at 635 pounds, shnt them in a
pen by themselves, weighed the
meal and rooked it. In four weekshe
had fed just sixteen bushel of corn,
and on weighing the hogs again he i
found they had taken on 200 pounds
of flesh, an average of 12 pounds
for each bushel of corn fed. This
time included the coldest weather
- of the Benson, too, which would re
quire more feed to keep up the
animal heat. Corn is worth 27 cents
per bushel in this market, and hogs
are worth $4.15 per cwt. Thus it
will be seen that Mr. Rexford real
ized more than 50 cents per bushel
for his corn. He will now try feed
ing corn meal raw and see if it
gives as good results. Weeping

A dispatch in the Omaha Dee
dated Columbus, Neb., sajH:
Some sxity or seventy of the
farmers near here have expressed
their intention of raising tobacco
this season. The acreage each will
nlant w II be small probably be
tween fifty and seventy-five acres
all told, and wiil be cultivated
somewhat as an experiment, al
though the farmers are generally
satisfied that the culture of tobacco
is entirely practicable in this val
ley. Few of them, however, know
how to raise the weed, and it is this
knowledge they seek to obtain, and
hence each will plant but a limited
area.
World's Fair Notes.
The main world fair buildings,
ex;lusive of what will be necessary
for their roofs and for their interior
finish in ir. retiuire 250.000 panes of
glass and about 250 tons of paint.
An expenditure of almost $500,000 is
necessary fr tnese items. The
great manufactures building re
quires 50 tons of paint and 30,000
panes of glass of 26 different sizes,
the average size being 27x41 inches.
In the transpartation building will
be 112 circular sashes, 12 feet in
diameter each containing 37 lights;
and 68 semi-circurlar sashes, 22 feet
in oiameter, having 60 lights each.
In the electricity building there
ill be 40,000 panes of glass, or
more than in any other exposition
structure. This building will be
especially conspicuous at night as,
owing to its extensive glass surface
the brilliancy of its electrical ex
hibit will be strikingly visible from
the outside.
The administrator building re
quires only 4,500 lights of glass, yet
it will (present finer artistic effects
in frlazinsr than will any other!
structure. The climax of orna
mental glazing will be seen in a
great ceiling sash in the mammoth
dome, 300 feet above the floor of the
rotunda. This will have 150 lights
of many diflerent size and of beau
tifully contrasted colors.
Platte Bridges Wrecked by Ice
Fremont, Neb., Feb.28. The ice
in the Platte river is breaking up
with its usual destruction to
bridges. Three spans of the wagon
bridge at this place have gone out
and communication with Saunders
county will be cut off for a few
days. The bridge at North Bend
has likewise been damaged so that
no crossings can be made. Saun
ders county farmers who were in
Fremont when the bridge went out
drove to North Bend to cross there
only to find that bridge gone also.
They then returned to Fremont and
shipped their teams and wagons to
Cedar Bluffs, on the Elkhorn road,
thence driving home.

II. A. Dugay, the good natured
conductor on the Omaha Southern
relates an amusing incident that
came near proving serious at his
home in Plattsmouth Tuesday eve
ning. The two cans in which he
keeps ..kerosene und gasoline are
alike in their . appearance, and the
man who engineers the oil wagon i
reversed the operation and filled
the kerosene can with gasoline. In
the evening our friend Dugay pro-
ceded to fill the parlor lamp from
the oil can, unintentionally using
gasoline for a change. He discov
ered the mistake soon after light
ing the lamp and was not long
whistling for "down brakes." Luck
ily he succeeded in getting the
flames extinguished, and the only
damage was a broken lamp, a few
burned fingers and a left handed
blessing for the oil wagon. Union

A Victim of Christian Science.
Mrs. Shadrack Cole, a-long-time
resident of this county, and living
a few miles south of town, died last
Tuesday morning from the result
of a fall received a few days before.
The old lady absolutely refused to
have a physician called, being a
disciple of the Christian science
treatment, and died from internal
hemorrhage. She was the wife of
Shadrack Cole, deceased.

FredClugey is carrying hia left
arm in a sling as the result of the
vicious nature of one of his pets.
Fred has a great liking for curiosi
ties and in his collection has a pair
of wolves. On Thursday morning
he was fastening a collar on one of
them when it seized him by the arm
and it required the assistance of
his wife with a club to make the
animal release him. His arm was
badly lacerated and Fred will not
feel disposed to lavish his affections
upon the little pet for some time.
He came to town Thursday and Dr.
Wallace dressed his wounds.

Kleptomania in New York.
"Do you know," saiil a member of
one of the big dry gooils firms recent
ly, "that the weakness for prigging
small articles of portable property
known as kleptomania, lias increased
to such an extent among our custom'
ers that we now have a list of twenty
three women who rob us every time
they come into the store. As they
are all steady patrons of our house.
ana inuir annual urns mount up to a
big sum in the aggregate, we let them
freely indulge their shoplifting fancies,
Alterwaru a cierK is sent to their
homes, and the missing goods are re
turned either by the kleptomaniac her
self or her relatives. Nearly every
one of them is fond of taking sonii
particular article, and the remainder
are liable to lay hands on anything
from a handkerchief to a box of gloves.
The only drawback to this little sys
tem is that when we light on a bona
tide shoplifter she invariably tries the
kleptomania la, and it is hard work
to select the real article." Ar. Y. Ad
vertiser. The Gulf Stream.
Three miles an hour is about the
average of the gulf stream, though at
certain places it attains a speed of
fifty-four miles. In the Yucatan chan
nel, for instance, where it is 90 miles
w-ide and 1,00.) fathoms deep, the cur
rent is not over a quarter of a mile an
hoar. In the Straits of Bimini the cur
rent is so rapid as to give the surface
of the water the appearance of being a
6heet of lire.
BELIEVE IN SIGNS.
Current
Superstitions In Various Parts of
the United States.
In Mansfield, O., many years ago, it
was generally believed that the seeds
"Job's tears," worn around the neck,
would cure goitre, as would amber or
gold beads. Up through New En
gland teething children were presented
with the same charm, which were kept
at the drug stores to ward off sore
throat and diphtheria.
In Michigan a double cedar knot is
carried in the pocket to cure rheuma
tism, and in New Hampshire a man
carried a gall from the stems of golden-rod
for the same disease. A small
white grub is in the galL and he
thought as long as the grub remained
alive no rheumatism could get hold of
mm.
Hickory nuts, the buckeye and its
cousin, the horse chestnut, which
brings good luck in New Jersey, are
foes to rheumatism in different looali
ties. Some people wear a strange
ring made of a potato, with a hole
bored through it, for rheumatism, and
carry a plain potato in the pocket. .1 he
charm is more potent if the potato has
been stolen. Almost everything seems
to have rheumatism-fighting proper
ties, for in Southern Michigan a peb
ble in the pocket serves to ward it off.
A New Hampshire cure for sore
throat is to wear about the neck a
stocking.in the toe of which a potato has
been tied. According to a Maine be
lief a nutmeg pierced and hung on a
string around the neck prevents boils.
croup anu neuralgia. 1 he effect ol a
Connecticut wooden nutmeg is un
known.
Among the negroes the most strik
ing remedies are to be found. Witness
the combination of cure and spell, de
scribed under the name of "conjuring
a tooth," in Alabama. Go into a lone
ly part of the woods with one of the
opposite sex, who is to carry an ax.
The bearer of the ax chops around the
roots of a white oak, cuts off with a
large jackknife nine splinters from the
roots of a tree, then cuts around the
roots of the aching tooth with the
knife, dips each of the nine splinters
in the blood Howingfrom the cuts, and
finally buries the splinters at the foot
of the tree from which they came.
While doing this the operator repeats
something you don't understand,
which is a charm.
From the same locality comes a curi
ous remedy for chills and fever. Take
the skin from the inside of an eggshell,
fo to a young persimmon tree three
ays in succession, and tie a knot in
the skin each day.
On the eastern shore of Maryland
biliousness is cured by boring three
holes in a carefully selected tree and
walking three times around it, saying:
"Go away, bilious."
In parts . of Massachusetts it is
thought that if a girl puts a piece of
Southern wood down her back, the
first boy she meets will be her hus
band. In Boston if a marriageable
woman puts a bit of Southern wood
under her pillow on retiring, the first
man she sees in the morning will, so
says the superstition, be the one whom
she is to marry Washington Star.
