V I if r 1 j t t 1 TRAINS TO BE STARTED. The M. P. Will Have Trains Running Next Week. PLAlTSJIfiUTII ON TIIK MAIN LINK. The Time Card Is Arranged so That Trains Will Stop In This City Twenty Minutes for Din nerOther News of Importance. The M. P. to tre Front. THE IlEKALI has been reliably informeI that the Missouri Pacific will commence running through trains from Omaha to St. Louis next week and that all passenger trains will stop in Plaltsmouth twenty minutes for dinner, and if proper arrangements can be made with one or more parties to run a 'first-class eating house the road will build a hotel near the depot to accommodate the traveling public. Beginning with the first of the month all through freight trains will be run over this route. With the running of all these trains through IMattamouth and with a proper eating house, the business of our city will 'increase and this city will have such a boom as it never had before, for the town shows off to excellent advantage from the Missouri Pacific depot and anyone passing through our fair city, although stopping only twenty minutes for dinner, cannot help but admire it, and even if they themselves do not return and stop off some time, they will speak of the beautiful town among the hills, which will cause others to stop and look at our advantages and invest their capital among us. The spring has been wet and cold and consequently very backward, but every nice day we have had we have seen men out all over the city fixing up the fences and repairing the houses, so that with all the back wardness of spring it makes no difference in what direction you may go you will see houses freshly painted and improvements of all kinds going on, which all goes to show that this town is going for ward and that its citizens are pros perous. There are very few vacant residences in the town, and there is not one first-class house empty. In fact, as noon as a good house is known to be vacant there are half a dozen applicants for it. aud the in dications point strongly to the fact that the II. & M. will build that long-looked-for depot this summer. So with all these improvements and the complete opening of the Missouri I'acific road this town is bound to take a rapid stride to the front this summer. Gold In or Near Plattsmouth. The Hekai.D published a few days ago an article in relation to a num ber of miners prospecting for coal in Livingston Heights, and while they were looking over the ground they discovered gold, and that there were several miners from the west expected here every day. The HER ALD also branded the report as a fake and has never thought of the matter since until last night when the following communication was received: Platt.smoith,N eh., April 23 Kni tor Herald: I see an article in The Herald about finding gold in Livingston Heights, which claimed it to be a fake. I say this: That I have had some experience in Gulch mining; that in the summer of 18G1! I was engaged in gulch mining in Russell's gulch, near Central City, Colorado, and I make this statement that I cati find gold in the Platte river sand from its mouth to where it leaves the mountains. And as we are in the gold belt, I have been in possession of the knowledge for three years past that there is gold in my stone quarry, as I have ex amined it myself and have had it tes:ed. the question is whether it can be found in paying quantities or not. Hut there is certainly float i;nl .1 at certain depths a'l over t'.sis country. and 1 belicvo .there is plenty fc.ilii - .;. deep enough. I think we h.ive .1 surface strata at my spring in the blutTs of the Mis souri river. jA.MES V. THOMAS. In Society's Whirl. A pleasant evening was spent ;:l j the residence of Mr. and Mrs. 1 1.

To-day while we were making the rounds for news we stepped into the hardware store of Claua Urek enfeld and took a look at his large stock of stoves and tinware. He has a stove or range that especially took our eye. It is called the Lily. This steel range has a reputation that is already well established in this city as Fred Stadelmann has used one for a number of years. Also Kd Oliver, Roe Craig and George and Oliver Dovey each have one of these fine steel ranges, which are sold with or without reservoir and they have n water front connection so that you can run hot water to any part of the building. He also car ries a large assortment of the cele brated Charter Oak cook stoves and ranges, which have the patent wire guage oven door, and the Gem City cook stoves. Mr. Brekenfeld buys his stoves by the car load and therefore he is able to sell them cheaper than any one else. He also carries a very large assortment of the New Process Quick. Meal gasoline stoves, and any one wishing a stove of any kind should call and see these stoves be fore buying. Mr. Hrekenfeld sells the anti-rust tinware which is guar anteed not to rust the least bit in a year and if a piece should lust you can return it and get'' your money back. This ware is made up in tin cups, dippers, dinner buckets, water buckets, tea and coffee pots and in fact everything from a half pint cup to a wash boiler; he also has tea and coffee pots and a number of other articles made from what is called Granite ware. In the way of garden tools you can find anything you want from a child's hoe to a scoop-shovel and for the lawn he has the Electric City and the Pennsylvania mower, which is the oldest and most reli able lawn mower made. In builders' hardware he has a very large and complete stock, which contains from a padlock no larger than a nickle up to the finest bronze door locks. For cutlery he has everything from a lady's pen knife to the largest of butcher knives, razors and shears of any size, and he especially calls attention to his Clause shears, which he will fullj guarantee. You can buy any of these goods on the installment plan as cheap as for cash, and when 3 011 are down town you should call in and look this store over, even if you do not wish to bit-, it will be time well spent. The Danjjler Surprise will burn the poorest grade of gasoline as well as the best. No other stove will doit. Ilendee sells them. Obscene Pictures Don't Go. The citizens of Wahoo will tol erate female minstrels, but loud lithographs that can be heard sev eral blacks awaj- will have to go. A despatch to the World-Herald this morning, dated Wahoo, says: "Wahoo was the scene of a great sensation to-day. The Mabel Snow "Adam and Eve" company was ad vertised in their usual attractive and sensational style, to show at the opera house to-night. A lady representing the Women's Christian Temperance union lectured here last evening and commented on the obscenitj- of the advertising matter distributed throughout the cit3 and stated among other things that if she could get one of the organi zations here to go with her that she would tear down all of the objec tionable paper. Several ladies be longing to the association assented, and this mormng the ladies to the number of five, led by their daunt less champion, made the rounds of the bill boards, and with their rude aud improvised weapons for the occasion utterly devastated all vestiges of the histrionic figures. They entered tne various business houses and removed all paper of the company. The members of the company stood by and saw their works of art destroyed by the indignant ladies, 1 and their 011I3 consolation for the injur3' done to their feelings is the increased ad vertisimr iriven them by he Women's Christian Temperance 1 union.'' . I Ask your dealer to show 3011 where the gasoline goes to from the tank to the burner and then go aud see the Dangler Surprise. For sale ly Ilendee. .) Eurglars atEImwood. Burglar got in their work at Klm wood Wednesday evening. The Lil ian! hall owned by the McGuire Brothers was entered during last night and considerable goods taken. Considerable damage was done to the house. The burglars effected an entrance b3 smashing the window in the rear of the building. They took about twenty-five pounds of to bacco, several hundred cigars and quite a lot of temperance drinks, some of which was found scattered along the road west of town for several miles. THE HOME TEAM WINS. The Freaks Drop the Second Game to Plattsmouth. OUR TEAM W. IKICTLY IN IT. The Pennant Winners are Located In This City A Pretty Game at the Base Ball Park Yesterday Other Games. Plattsmouth , Fremont 7. About 100 people braved the cold, raw wind yesterday afternoon and saw one of the prettiest games of ball that anybody has seen for a long time. The night before our ancient friend, Nofman Baker, called his collection of freaks to gether, and, getting him a big, heavy log chain, he chained them together and made them sleep in the hall of the Kiley. This getting of their rest, in their usual way, had 'the effect of bracing the team up, and yesterday they put up pretty fair ball. Old Sol was not so warm aud pleasant as the day before. lie sported a large, full-grown beard witn ice on it a foot long. He tried to smile a little when the relic of bygone days trotted out on the dia mond and tossed up a nice, new ball, but it was a failure. Plattsmouth began to hit Norman right away. It rolled up two runs in the first on a hit and two errors, while Fremont goose-egged. In the second two blanks came out and everybody looks pleased, if it was cold. In her half of the third Platts mouth blanked and then the spec tators' hair began to rise. The freaks began to hit Perrine just abaft the collar boue and the boys tried to collect all their errors at once. Johnson, especiallj', was rank in this inning. This time Fre mont made four runs, and the man with the whiskers went over and hung them on the radiator. Nobod3'- got around in the fourth, but in the fifth Plattsmouth dis posed of a job lot of base hits, and, Fremont having added a couple of errors to her string, got three runs and the lead, whereupon the man with the whiskers remarked: "It is a pleasant day," and returned to the game. In the seventh Plattsmouth got four and Fremont two runs, and in the ninth Fremont scored again. Our friend Norman aired his face at all stages of the game, but Plattsmouth still got the base hits. Fremont gave Wilding a chance to pitch the last two innings and he did fair work. Kennedy, at third, repeated his brilliant exhibition of the day be fore and batted 'em out. Myers pitched ball "out of sight" for the locals, striking the side out in the fifth inning. Both teams were in far better form than the day before. The summary: R II K Plattsmouth 2 0003040 09 10 7 Fremont 0 0 4 0 0 0 2 0 17 6 11 Two-base hits J. Patterson, Kennedy, Joliusoti, Butler. 1 liree-base hit Lonji. Struck out By Baker 4.

The Herald wants to inform the public that the league season opens on Sundaj-, May 1, instead of Mon day as the "official paper" has it. Why don't the "official" paper print reliable news? If the "official" paper desires to drive the best players in the team out of town there is no better way to do it than to refer to them by such pet names as "Scrapper." We have no doubt but Kennedy was greatly pleased to read it "Scrap per" Kenned3'. The IIekald's base ball columns this season will be up to the times and in them will be found the base ball reports. They have no favorites and all plajers will receive full and exact credit for their work. Yesterday's Association Games. AT OMAUA K II F.

This morning a young man stepped into Bert McElwain's jew elry store on Main street and got his watch which he had left thereto be reDaired. After paying for it he had fifty cents left and Bert, in a joking wa', asked him if he woidd give him fifty cents for a watch he held in his hand. The fellow took the watch and looked at it, threw down the fift3' cents and walked out. As the watch belongs to one of his customers and is worth about $15. Bert has been wondering all day how he could get it back. The last heard of the watcli it had been disposed of to a third party for 1 and he was asking fifty cents for his bargain, but intimated that if Bert would set up the cigars he could have his watcli back for the fifty cents he had received.

Threatened by a Mob This morning's Bee contains the following in relation to Klder Hampton. Whether it is the Klder Hampton that formerly belonged here will be left with the reader to judge. The despatch was dated at Valparaiso, Nebraska: Tuesday morning P. K. Poe, a photographer, left town suddenly on account as is alleged of his at tentions to the wife of a railroad man living here. Poe is a married man and has been here about nine months, his wife, who is an invalid, remaining with her parents at Ray mond." As a sequel to Poe's escapade with the railroadman's wife, Elder Hampton was charged with immor al conduct.Rumors spread and a mob gathered last night about 11 o'clock, going to the house where Hampton was staying, called him out and with cries of "a rope," "hang him," the elder was made to promise that he would leave town on the first morning train. The mob then dis persed. Public opinion is divided on the question of the innocence or guilt of the minister, some advising him to stay aud prove his inno cence. The elder made many friends and some enemies here by his bold and and fearless manner of speaking in the pulpit during about six weeks of protracted meet ings which he held the past winter. He is but '28 years old and impresses all who hear him with the depth of his knowledge of the Scriptures and manner of explaining it. Thumb Mashed. Last evening J. V. Perkins, a switchman in the B.

'Tis true he has been kept on water now for three years, or will be at the expiration of the present term, but when it is noted that the water and finance committees require the most work and good management, it is a com pliment if to serve as chairman. This will make his second term as president of the council. The at tendance of the members has been generally good although some have been neglectful and as a whole the retired board can well feel proud of the manner in which they managed city affairs. Weeping Water Repub lican. The street commissioner is mak ing some needed repairs on Wash ington Avenue. It is now the in tention to raise the avenue eighteen inches higher than it formerly was, the whole length. The dirt is taken from the hill south and the city pro poses to open Eigth street. f The Weeping Water Kagle says: From what we deem to be a reliable source, the information comes that a new democratic paper will make A its appearance in this city soon.
