MIXED POETRY January and February have passed through And the pleasant month of March too; But April, with its dusty showers Its end so close can count it by. hours. And May is coming soon, Followed by the month of June. Some do say that one day in May We will all see a very discouraging day. We hops that all prophets fail In Saying that we'll be dashed with Halley's jcoraet's tail, It certainly is our earnest desire That our end shall not be in a monstrous fire. But we will leave it as it is. 'And will say something that may not come amiss. Tis very true, we all know That in a city they have much to show. When you go to the city, go only for pleasure, Trade at home to benefit your own treasure. In a town there is always a throng, But divided; some for right and some for wrong. Try and exterminate the obnoxious weed And thereby "See Plattsmouth Succeed." A few words more and we are through 'Tis for the benefit of you and you. We have Furniture, Carpets and Rugs galore Please remember you're welcome at our store. Mrs. S. E. McElwain left today for a visit of a week or ten days duration with her daughter Mrs. J. W.

T ? ? y y ? ? ? ? y t ? ? y $ y y f ii i 'w. figggacma (IS I II II I u '" MM mm Has Been Rector of St. Lukes Church In City for Thir ty Nine Years. Canon Ids 77th Respectfully yours, MICHAEL H1LD Plattsmouth, Nebraska II. B. Burgess celebrated birthday last Sunday by preaching his regular two sermons at the St. Lukes Knisconal church and one at the Masonic Home in this city, but he says a birthday is not much as they are getting to be a common occurrence with him. Mr. Burgess is one of the interesting old gentlemen of this city and there is not a more learned or better read man in the entire country than the good old soul that resides at the Episcopal rectory. He was a Michigan boy and gradu ated in the Classic department of the state university at Ann Arbor in 1858. At the time of his graduation he was offered the Chair of Astronomy at the school by virtue of his high pro ficiency in mathematics and marked ability in the study of the heavens. Following his course at the University of Michigan he studied Theology at the Nashota school in Wisconsin. In 1SG1 he was ordained as a mini ster in the Episcopal church and for the past forty nine years he has been fol owing his chosen calling. The first four years of his ministry were spent in Lansing, Michigan From the Michigan Capital, he took up a charge at Milwaukee, where he served eight years, then removing to Nebraska City where he held the po sition of Professor of Science and German and, after the regular schoo! hours, taught the Greek and Hebrew anguages. Giving up his work at the college, he came to Plattsmouth where he has had the St. Lukes church for the past 37 years. He has made a continual study o! science and astronomy and has pro pounded some scientific principles that are of the deepest interest to the scientists of the country. Accord ing to certain astronomical theories to the effect that it is an impossibility for two large heavenly bodies to conic into direct contact with each other. he finds that there is no danger of Mr Halley's wanderer and our play ground ever disputing each other 8 path. Mr. Burgess is indeed a wonderful man and it is hoped by his hundreds of friends in the county that he may have a number more pleasant returns of his birthday. ? t x t X a. 6 X X x i x ISSUED BY THE NORTH AMERICAN ACCI DENT INSURANCE CO., OF CHICAGO PAID UP FOR ONE YEAR ' Given by the News-Herald Publishing Co. for one year's subscription paid in advance to the Plattsmouth Daily News or the Semi-Weekly News-Herald as follows: Daily News in advance, by mail, 3,50.

The Burglar and the Lady,"" which the William Grew players with the addition of Miss Maybelle Cullens, the new and desirable acquisition will present at the Parmcle theatre next tnday cvening,is similar to "Raffles," and first cousin to "Arscnc Lupin," the play with which the splendid Urandeis theater in Omaha was formally opened in March. .In fact, its dialogue is more crisp, its action more brisk and the entire makeup of the play smoother, than either of these. Jim Corbc t of pugilistic fame, originally starred in The Hurglar and the Lady, and while it is doubtless true that the play survived and ranks high among plays, speaks forcibly for its merit This will be the last performance of the Grew company in this city and immediately following their appearance here they will leave for the east to finish the season There are burglars and burglars it is doubtful if any of us (or any of us) will meet a burglar like the one around which this play is wrtiten; but he is an admirable chap, after all. and wins the sympathy of the audience from the start. Circumstances do alter cases, and personality wins im munity often it also wins hearts. And in this case not even the bur glarious tendencies of the man cankeep the woman in the case the lady from loving him! Its the old story the one man and the one woman. No matter how strongly we may theoretically dispprovc her inclina tion towards, we hope, all through the nlav. that they may, some way oseanc the tangled web which seems to be binding them to the wheel of fate. . . Mr. Grew plays the part of the liur glar in a manner to warrant a sub stantial addition to his laurels and Miss Maybelle Cullens the new lead imr ladv. gives a finished delightful production which insures her a wel come whenever she may chose to ap pear. The remainder of the company are well Buited to the parts assigned them and the stage setting is all that could be asked. A MONSTER FLAG. It Float Above London Whtn Parlia ment la SHting. Trobahly few who see the union jack flying over the Victoria tower at Westminster when parliament is sitting realize that the flag which flutters, bo high above the inhabit ants of London is one of the most remarkablo pieces of bunting in tho world. Small as it seems to the upturned gaze more than 450 feet beneath it, this floating emblem is so cnormo-.:i 4lmf ita nntsnrnnd hlintinrr would v " " i o i ... .... I.' completely hide irom view a coupi? of suburban villas. It is sixty feet long and forty-five feet wide so capacious, in fact, that 3,000 per sons could find standing room on it. The past from whose dizzy summit it flutters is as tall as the Duko of York's column, rises from a base littlo less exalted than the cross of St. Paul's cathedral and weighs sixteen tons. To reach tho foot of this tower ing mast ono must climb 350 feet up the dark interior of tho Victoria tower. On entering tho tower through the low iron door at its foot and gazing upward ono sees far above a blue light, apparently no larger than a man's hand, which marks the summit of the tower, and to this opening the only access is by means of a fragile, spiral stair caso which winds around the dark walls, clinging to them as if for SBpport. As wo climb round and round this frail "Jacob's ladder" wo pass story after story, each in itself a commodious house of sixteen rooms, until, panting and perspiring, we pass tho eleventh of theso stories and emerge gratefully into the open air. Arrived at tho summit, more marvels await us. Wo find that the parapet, which from tho bridgo far below looks but a tiny speck of stone, is actually thrico tho height of tho average man. Tho crowns which adorn tho four turrets are five feet across and weigh a ton aIlL0Cr The lpns mhieh guard the corners are leviathans, towering twenty feet high, and the roof of the tower, we gasp to learn, would turn the scale at 400 tons. But perhaps tho gror.te-t wonder of all ns we stand ou this dizzy em inence is the far stretching view of the world's capital, dwarfed to tho dimensions of a toy metropolis, along whose narrow ribbons of streets men crawl as ants and the largest vehicles are slow moving points of black.
