Quite though, they are spanking the ung tweetbearta of today who write "their foolishness on a typewriter. Diseased Cattle. As Is nearly always the case about this time of the j eer, a disease of some kind attacks the cattle. A somewhat peculiar disease has made lis appear ance in some sections of this county, which has caused the death of many head of cattle, and from the manner in which they are effected, we presume It is similar to that which is killing many cattle in eastern Iowa and parts of Mis souri. In the latter state the state veterinary attributes the disease to a black substance that collects during the damp weather on the cornstalks, which is eaten by the cattle. He also states that the disease is not at all con tagious, but will continue to effect them so long as they are permitted to eat fodder. Cattle are effected more or less every winter by such a disease, and the damper the weather the more prevalent the disease. An Honest Word. Mr. W. lleranek of Dillonvale, Ohio, is known in the whole neighborhood as an honest and truthful man. We gladly publish his letter addressed to Mr. Jos. Triner, Chicago, 111. "Accept my best thanks for your beautiful wall calendar. 1 wish to write you also a few words about your American Elixir of Bitter Wine and Angelica Bitter Tonic. The Bitter Wine is doing wonders. My wife has not been able for more than a year to do her house hold duties, being very feeble, but now she has no trouble in doing all the work around the house. As toTnner's AngelicaiBitters, I can testify that I have never before found a more agree able and effectful remedy for the stomach. If it should have the same effect on everybody as It had on my deranged stomach, there would certainly be no other medicine used." Ladies will rind in Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, the real remedy for their system. It will make them regular, strong and beautiful. Triner's Angelica is the acme of Stomach Bitters.

The council did one good thing at their meeting Monday night, and that is in passing an ordinance prohibiting all persons under seventeen years of age from climbing or in any manner getting upon trains or cars in the city limits, under a penalty of a tine of not to exceed ilO for each offense. Boys have been in the habit of jumping on and off of trains while in motion, but the officers have been powerless here tofore to prevent them from so doing. Those detected now in the act of jump ing on trains can be arrested without further warning. You had better look a "leedle oud,' young man, for Rube has his optics cast constantly in your direction. An Ideal Newspaper. You may talk all you please about an ideal newspaper, but an Ideal news paper will never be published this side of heaven. A newspaper is ex pected to chronicle all the news items that transpire, and as long as we have human devils on earth to supply news items it will be impossible to run a newspaper on ideal lines. With all the abuse that is heaped upon the newspapers they are still far more decent and elevating than a majority of people observe. An editor does not dare to publish one-half the things that transpire, if be did there would be a dead editor In town about every two weeks. Ideal newspapers will be published only by angels and for angles to read, since there are no angels here In Plattsmouth to publish a newspaper and no angels here to read them, our readers need not expect to have an ideal paper published in the town. The Convict's Daughter. frightful explosion ocoured on Mississippi River steamboat in volving the loss of many lives and the injury of scores of passengers. Among those who escaped were Col. Gould, a Kentucky banker, aud his wife. As a result of her injury and nervous prostration, the Colonel's wife gave premature birth to a child that died This nearly destroyed her mind. Her doctor told the colonel that the oniv hope for her was. in the adoption of an nfant, Fortunately one was found unuarmeu among ine rescued pas . i . sengers, its mother was killed. Mrs, Uould and the Colonel loved and reared me cnua, a gin wnose name was Edith, as though she was really their own as shs regarded herself. vv neq She became old enough, two young men sought her heart and hand One was the coundentlal clerk of Col. Gould, and the other was a young Southerner. She preferred the latter. The Colonel told him frankly that he was willing Edith should marry him, . . A. - t J .a 1 k. - uuii ?aiu sne was tne uaugiuer o: a woman whose identity was unknown. This did not deter the lover. Mean while the spurned love of the clerk made him a villian and he resorted to rorgery, lying, trickery and other desperate methods to accomplish his purpose the marriage to Edith. He uses an escaped convict to aid him in his villainous designs. It happened that the convict was really the father of Edith, but neither he, the villain, tbe girl, or anyone else concerned, knew it at the time the plot was in progress. But that fact was developed later when things are cleared up and the Goulds, Edith and her lover and father are made happy. Tbis is part of the story found in "The Cunviot's Daughter" a new sensational melo drama by J. A. Fraser, Jr., that will be tbe attraction at the Parmele theatre Monday night February 16th. It introduces an original type of "hobo" known as "Weary Wilhe " For a time, through faroe of circum stances and threats, he serves the villain, but through the development of the story, ho shows a generous nature. It is a obaracter that stands out in bold relief and wins deserved commendation. Escaped an Awful Fate. Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla writes. "My doctor ojd me I had Consumption and .nothing, could be, done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, induced me to try it.
