'"I'lattsniotilh is all right now," sud Nr. Windham to TlIK IlKKAI.n, ' and all that is neces sary is to keep up the present gait." The proposition of Mr. h'ichey is met with cordial indorsements from all directions. Councilman Jones of the Second, who was re cently in favor of extending the m-mcr this summer, is favorably impressed with the suggestion of the ex-mayor. Mr. Jones is not particularly anxious for the imm (hate extension, ol the sewer. Ije is a practical man, however, and lie wants something done. He is not a believer in iiuiclivity. lie idocs not believe in allowing money to pile up in the city treasury and lie idly there. Ileisiu favor of using it where it will do the most good Jf it tan be demonstrated that the City Hall project is feasible Mr. Jones will supHirt it. The railroad situation remains in about the same Cordition. Nothing can be definitely settled in regard to the division terminus for sev eral weeks, but 1'l.ittsmouth's posi t ion in the contest is a good one, and the committrvs will spare no labor in prcsenti-Jg their case in the strongest possible light. Mr. Windham says that he is in correspondence now with the rail road officials and that he is confi dent that the l.lurlinglon company means business with regard to en 'TK'"ir tlio Hhoim here at once ami otherwise making changes that will be greatly beneficial to this towu. I'lattsmouth is to Ik- congratulated upon having audi an tiring workers on these couimittoc. and the future will show that the jieople here ap preciate their cfTurhi to build up the towu. The Temperanoe Convention. The women of the W. C. T. l are completing their arrangements for the holding of the second district convention at Flattsniouth, begin n ing Tuesday, August 'M and con tinuing three days. The chairman of the committee ou entertainment is Mrs. M. Loving of tliis town. An extensive and interesting program has been prepared and the teetotlar ladies expect a very large attend ance of prohibition speakers, writers and workers. Strictly srieaking, riattsniouth cannot be said to be u prohibition town. However, if TlIK IlKK'ALU correctly understands the situation, it is not in prohibition towns that the greatest work for the prohibi tionists to accomplish exists. For this reason, therefore, there is no excuse for the W. C T. I'. people being backward in coining forward here. I'lattsmouth is a big, broad and liberal town. It welcomes any and all conventions. Its citizens will royally entertain any and all vis itors, regardless of their opinions upoc. any subject. On behalf of the people of I'lattsmouth Till lllvKAl.li bids the members of the W. C. F. I', convention a cordial welcome to this town and it will take pleasure in giving to the world the best and most complete re ports of what is said and done in the assemblage of interest to peo ple in general. The Now Garbage Master. Mr. Shields has been appointed and filed his bond as garbage mas ter. He w ill go to work at once on the job of cleaning up the vaults and alleys of the town. This is one of the most important moves of the present administration. Too long has the cleanliness of the alleys and vaults of I'lattsmouth been neglected, and it is to be hoped that the last of complaints on this mat ter have been heard. Married at Court. Herman Hildebraiid and .Miss Ida Dettuianof Murdock were this afternoon married, Judge k'amscy officiating, in the county court room. Miss Meieryurgen of Mur dock, Jesse L. Root, C. C .

It begins to look as though Mrs. Shryock of Louisville, Neb., th widow of the late representative founil dead in his room at the Mur ray hotel a few months ago, Would have trouble collecting the insur ance on his life. The insurance companies are not satisfied that Mr. Shryock died from heart disease or some like cause, and for this reason have held oir paying the money to Mis. Shryock. The father of the late representative is in towu and has called on Coroner Maul, and the re sult is that the witnesses in the case will be re-examined and their testimony will be taken down in shorthand and then h inded over to the agents of the insurance com panies, and they will be asked to pay the insurance money.

SPLENDID MEETING. People are Showing ar, Active Inter est In Defeating 'he Predic tors of Disaster - Burton Afraid of-H s Paper The Republican Club. The Young Men's Republican Club Friday eveuing held an inter esting and livrly meeting. The large and incieasiug attendance at each session of the club shows that the interest is growing in the cause f republicanism and that the laborers for a genuinely American idininistratioii propose to have a magnificent victory in November. I'be various committee chairmen reported progress being made in olidifyiug the rank am! file and that the willingness of re publicans to do their duty was uni versal. Charles lieers and Robert W. Drown made reports in regard to styles and prices of uniforms for the marching division of the club, and after a free d iscusinn a hand some uniform which can be laid down here for ''.'.!." was selected. A marching division roster was headed by President Root and numerously signed by member. It is believed that this year the club will turn out more marchers than ever before in its history. Treasurer S. P. Holloway re signed his position, for the reason that his private affairs were in such a condition that he' would not be at home all the time during the campaign and would therefore be unable to give the office that atten tion which he would be pleased to do and which was necessary. Mr. Holloway nominated as his suc cessor that voting and tireless re publican worker, Charles lteers i and he was unanimously chosen to act. The ex-treasurer then placed a piece of money in his hat and an nounced that he was going to take up a collection to givie his suc cessor a good start, lie succeeded admirably in his undertaking. The I'lattsmouth republicans mean business. Mr. Harvey Holloway reported, as chairman of the glee club com mittee, that he was at work upon the organization of otie, but had not yvt signed all the members. O. M. Peterson stated that the secretary had informed him that there were no constitution and by-laws on file in the secretary's office, and moved that a com mittee of three be appointed to investigate if any were on file with the county clerk, and, if not, to pre pare and submit a set to the club. The motion unanimously prevailed and Mr. Peterson, J. R. Parker and O. A. Drown were appointed as the committee. ' (i. F. S, Durton of the News then obtained the floor and began to air his newspaper and personal griev ances before the club in pursuance of the Polk-Durton policy of treach ery to the republican party. As he proceeded and the true inwardness of l,:s motive was exposed, Mr. Dyers and others objected, stating that Durton was out of order; that a motion for adjournment was be fore the house, and insisting upon the regular order. Durtmi was in a rage at the exposure of the pirate and traitor combination and in sisted on keeping the llnor and in coherently haranguing the mem bers. Mr. Polk saw the mistake that was being made by his assist ant and attempted to extricate him from the net in which he was lloun dei ing. The regular order was in sisted on and the mot inn to ad jouru put and defeated, the younger ele ment of the club being anxious "to see the fun." Durton then resumed his talk, but finally ended wit!, out accoiup lishmg an thing save an exhibition C ...... oi assurance and imbecility and a scoring by Mr. R. W. Dyers. liver said that he had come to the meet ing as a friend and at the solicit,! tion ot Durton to defend him. hut that now he was convinced that Durton was therefor the purpose of creating dissension and trouble and that he no longer sustained him. Mr. Dyers reminded the Dur ton that he was rather young in the country and the republican party to assume to lay down the law to clubs and members of the party; that he had a newspaper in which to defend himself and that until charges had been preferred else where, in his newspaper was the place to defend himself. Durton, of course, does not want to expose his true self by using his paper in defense of his attempted double dealiug. This might interfere with his joining the democratic club. The amusing fellow was finally qttited and the meeting adjourned. PEOPLE AND AFFAIRS. A IKiK'K'tlll.i: liKAlll. IT-rain Abbott, one of the oldest atid most repected citi.cus oftt. Vidward, Neb., was dangerously and probably fatally injured by being dragged with his foot fast in the stirrups a distance of about L.'iH) yards through a grove by a vicious bronco. Mr. Abbott was thrown against a tree with such violence that it broke the one and a quarter inch stirrup strap, thus liberating him. Deis still unconscious alter thirty-six bouts. No hopes of his recovery are entertained. That able editoral in the World Herald about "Mr. Gladstone's Dilemma" is good and able and all that sort of thing, but what the peo ple want to hear about more par ticularly is "Mr. Hitchcock's Dilem ma."

He was surrounded by his staff, mounted, and the various divisions, regiments and brigades passed by for his inspection. The bearing of the knights in general was highly pleasing to the com manding general. The Nebraska brigade especially showed up in fine form and after the review General Carnahan per sonally congratulated the officers of the Nebraska brigade upon the correctness of their marching and remarked that it was the only bri gade in line that passed inspection without the discovery of a flaw. Mima divisision No. 21 of Kear ney, Neb., attracted special atten tion by reason of the precision of its inarching and its general mili tary bearing. The Journal seems to have lost sight of its presidential candidate in its enthusiasm for Ihe Young Man Kluquent. D. S. Draper is a veteran democrat of the Jacksonian description and he admits that he isn't feeling jubi lant over the fact that Drover Cleve land is inclined to snub the eld-line boys and hobnob with such mug wumps as Schur. of New York and tjumey ot Massachusetts. Cleve land practically tells the old and genuine democrats that he is bet ter than they; better than his party; that he and his mugwump friends represent the only true democrats; that the country is afraid to trust the old crowd, etc. For the benefit of Mr. Draper and other democrats of the rid school Tin- Hl-U'Al.h prints Mr. Cleveland's letter to the Hon. Win. C. Whitney. Mr. Ouincy, the Massachusetts mugwump, seems to enjoy more of the eonlideuee of Grover Cleveland than do old-time democrats. The young ladies' society of St. John's church Wednesday gave a pleasant dancing party at Rockwo d Hall and managed it in a maimer to give satisfaction to all who were present. - Mr. Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy under Cleveland and Dr. Dana's fool-killer for the democ racy, has been laboring very hard to patch up n truce between the warring democratic factions in New York and elsewhere. Cleve land apparently does not agree with the ex-secretary in making so many overtures to such leaders as Gorman, Di ice and Ransom aud he . has written Whitney a letter oil the subject.

There is nothing in the world more hopeless, more pitiful than a bankrupt newspaper, which drags on an aimless, wintry existence through sheer dread of death. Its appearance gives it away; you can tell a starving newspaper as quickly as you can tell a starving man. It may be filled with glitter ing stories of present and future prosperity, but it carries with it an essence of the grave and shroud as surely as though it were bordered with black and delivered to sub scribers from a hearse. There is a daily at Lincoln and another at Omaha, each of which claims to be on the road to allluence, but a copy is never received that The Tribune does not think of the passing bell, and the ritual, and the. falling of clods.
