Todd was another man made very happy during the past week. All on account of a bouncing baby boy at his home. The little fellow put in his first appearance last Monday morn ing, and "Timothy" says he has the finest pair of lungs he ever heard, and can almost say "papa" already. Oh, that's a smart kid alright and as pretty as a "peach," for it looks just exactly like it's mamma. Ex-Representative D. S. Snyder, of Johnson county, is being favorably mentioned for congressional honors on the fusion ticket. Mr. Snyder was the fusion candidate for float representa tive from Nemaha and Johnson coun ties at the last election and was de feated by the the present incumbent, Hon. William Ernst. Evidently, the News editor is afflict ed with "girl on the brain," and is bound to have it that Henry Zuck weillerhasa new baby girl at his house. To have them come double is almost enough to craze any ordinary man the extent of trying to make his readers believe that his neighbors are likewise afflicted. Henry denies the al legation, and says the "allegator" is badly mistaken in his charge. The holding of a county mass con vention saves the trouble of calling of precinct primaries, and time and trouble to those who generally have the matter in hand in the various lo calities.

Bryan, the peoples' favorite, will be present to address the convention. And this alone will be worth going to Lincoln to hear. 0 DC jTWs J QDEPIfll Ul L.UIHL.

The Purmele theatre was crowded to its utmost capacity with admirers of the Plattsmouth turning society, and from all reports they were well paid for their trouble. The program was carried out to the letter in every par ticular. The music was all that could be desired, and much credit is bestow ed upon Otto Wurl for the manner in which he has the several classes train ed. The entertainment was not only well received by the large audience present, 'but there were many sur prises in the acting that were decided ly beyond the expectations of many of those present.

Our 30 consecutive years of piano business, combined with ample capital, enables us to contract for pianos in such quantities as to get the lowest possible figure, as well as take advantage of over pro duction known as "snaps" actually selling annually more instruments than the combined out put of several small factories, as well as buying them at a much less figure than factories under limited facilities can make them. i i k i , mis car load oi I lanos.

A special from Louisville, under date of May 10, says: The recent heavy rains have caused the Platte river to go out of its banks, and the entire bottoms west of town are un der from one to three feet of water. Sunday evening the river rose very rapidly and one family living on. the bottoms near the river were forced to leave their home for places of safety. The bottoms across the river in Sarpy county are also under water. No dam age of any great extent has been re ported yet. Chauncey D.
