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. At drugstores and at the
manufacturer's, Jos. Triner, 799 south

"A Good Thing."
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.
