Several years ago Mr. Grimes, who is in his seventy-fourth year, suffered a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which he was rendered almost helpless.

The horse attached to a top buggy, tecame frightened at a moving train and started on a run, and in doing ho the buggy struck a telepone ole in front of the Plattsmouth hotel, the horse become detached from the buggy. Mr. Melvin had such a tight grip on the lines that he was jerked out of the buggy onto the sidewalk. In falling he lit on his head, and it was at first thought he was dangerously hurt. Dr. Cummins was called immediately and found, upon examination; that outside of some bruises on the back of the head, Mr. Melvin had escaped with but comparatively little injury. To say the least, it was a miraculous escape. The Cash System. Some of the merchants of this city are seriously considering the adoption of the cash system. It will prove the proper thing to do, if every merchant in the city will go into a move of this kind. The fact is it is the only mode of doing business. It is better for the merchant and also better for the purchaser, and as a general thing will give satisfaction all around when we get accustomed to such business. "Plattsmouth, You Are a D d Hog.' There was perfect harmony (on the surface) and all went home with enough of it in stock to insure no scratching of the ticket named, yet there was an under current that was unmistakeable and if interpreted in slang phrase it might sound like this: Plattsmouth you are a d d hog.

Some people are so prone to jneddle with everything they we, especially those things' they should not meddle with, that It n quires a lot of warn ing and sometimes drastic punishment to cause t hem to desist. Th mail lx hunter who delights to pepper those objects with a shot gun, has about got his Jill or it, since several of them have b.-cn jerked up by the government. Now comes the person who, walking along the public road, who stops to examine a mail liox, pulls at the liaps which covers the openings for mail, tries t he lock arid peeks around to see if there are any defects in its construc tion. All of these mattersdo not con cern him in the least, but hiscuriosity has to he satisfied. lie probably does not mean any harm but his actions look suspicious and some of these days when a mail 1kx is rohljed, suspicion will at once fall on him, and he will be taken before a United States court and be made to pay for his curiosity. Better avoid such things. 'J here is nothingabout a mail Ikix that is inter esting, unless it is ou the inside, and them it belongs to the man who owns the box and it is none of your business. There is not the least danger of trouble if you pass along and attend to your own affairs. Tefft's Fool Friends. The fool friends of Mr. TefTtof Weep ing Water will probably never know how many votes their candidate lost in the republican county convention by insisting on secretaries from among bystanders. The convention was com posed of men of more than ordinary intelligence, with sufficient talent to conduct their own business, and the unusual mode of procedure adopted there was unwarranted.

CV The Omaha Commercial College. If any of the young people of our county are going away this fall to a business college, this paper would ad vise them to lie careful about selecting a school of the highest rank. Our state is over stocked with cheap, com mercial schools and it always pays to attend one of long standing and of recognized efficiency. The primary object in obtaining a mercantile education is to secure a good position, and there are but few, if more than one, business college in our state, whose prestige and influence are such as to guarantee you a position when you have become competent. The Omaha Commercial College, of Omaha, Nebraska, is, and has been for years, the leading school of this kind. When its students of last year came from twenty-four states of our Union and one foreign country, it must be regarded as a school of national reputation. This school has equipped more young people of the west for mercantile positions than all of our other so called business colleges com bined, and as an evidence of having placed its graduates in positions, RohrlKMigh Bros., the proprietors, have published a "Rod of Positions" which they will send you free with other interesting advertising matter, if you will drop them a postal. If you are going to a business college this year this paper would advise you to attend the Omaha Commercial College, for you can not and will not make a mistake. We are informed that the fall "term opens September 1, and that you can work for your board, if desired, thus getting through school for a small amount of money. Write Rohrbough Bros., for particulars. It will pay you. Read Hayden Bros, ad in this paper. Mmle None Better. Skeletons Unearthed. Eight skeletons, supposed to be the bones of Indians, were unearthed on the farm of W. II. .Barker, south of riattsmouth on Thursday last.

Wade, who works in the B. V M. Auditor's oil ice in Omaha, came down ou the evening train and met with a warm reception at his home. A large num ber of Wade's friends from among the boys and girls were present to help him celebrate. The grounds around the Windham home, on north Sixth street, wers beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns and electric lights and the rooms were decorated with flowers and plants. There was gayety from start to finish, both in the house and on the lawn, such as music, both vocal and instrumental, and lively games of va rious kinds were indulged in. Miss Herinia Windham was aided by M iss Josie M urphy and M inta Mauy in entertaining the invited guests.

Several week ago the ollUlals of this county went to J'lattHinoiilh where they played u game of bavi ball with the oIIIcI.iIh of Cass county with the understanding that a return game would le played here on !uhor day. Now at this day comes the oillclals of that county in a letter in which they back out of playing the return game and notify the ofllclals of this county that their men have not recovered from the effects of the last game and that they will not play here ou Labor day. This looks like a big flunk and shows t hat t he olllclals up there are afraid and dare not play the return game for they real.e that the local oDIcials will wipe the earth with them. The hoys here have gone to a great deal of cxx-nse in getting an outfit and fitting up the Argo grounds so they would Im in sliaH for the game. They also arranged to give the visitors a royal good time and show them how it was ossihle to have a good time in this city and how to play a good game of base ball. This back out of the Cass county Mop)e is a sore disappointment to the jteople here, and similar to that experienced by the small boy when it was too muddy last spring for t he Forepaugh Nells circus to exhibit in t his city.--Nebraska City News. Crop Conditions, The past vcck lias fwen warm and dry. The mean dally tcincrature has averaged .'I degrees alovc normal in eastern counties and aliovc in western. In a few central and south-central counties the rainfall ranged from one half of an inch to little more than an inch; in other counties only light scattered showers occurred with generally less than an quarter of an inch. The high temperature and light rainfall of the past week have. Ix-rn exceedingly favorable for the growth of corn, as well as for the advance ment of threshing, stacking and hay ing. Ill the counties of heaviest rainfall work was delayed the first half of the week by the rains and some slight damage resulted to grain in shock. .Stacking and threshing from shfick are now nearly completed in the southern counties. Corn has grown rapidly and has improved in condition; it is caring well and now promises the best It has this season. A little early corn is lx'glunhig to harden in southern counties; consider able corn will i safe from injury by frost by September 1.1, but much corn will require until October 1, and some of the latest fields will need two or three weeks of October to mature.
