IS "THIS WEEK
Get Busy and Prepare to Decor
ate Up for the Two Big Gala
Days.
Only two mini; days remain
until Hie citv will be thesrene
f the gathering of the Oermans
if Cass county, and this section
of the stater.dnd especial efforts
should be put forth by the resi
dents of this city to show them
a line time. Every business
houe in the city should shine
forth with the colors of the Fath
erland, red, white and black, and
thoe of the greatest, republic the
sun ever shone on the red, white
and bue'of the United State
This recognition is duo the hart!
work that the . committee in
charge has been to make the eel
ebration a success, and there
should be no hanging back in
giving these worthy flcrinan cit
zens the recognition they so well
deserve, for their efforts to bring
to this city a gathering of this
kind. The celebration of Ger
man day in our. state capital
stalled with a beginning as hum
ble as our own and today it is
one of the leading attractions of
its kind in the state and all this
has been accomplished by good
hard work on the part of their
citizens, irrespective of; nation
ality, and the same can be done
here if each year the people get
together and boost and work for
the success of the celebration
The committee has arranged a
program pleasing i to: everyone.
and there is not a feature on it
that will not appeal to the gen
eral public whether German or
any other nationality. The com
mittee has been particularly for
tunate in securing the services
of T. H. Reese of Omaha, tlu
greatest German musician in the
west, to have the direction of the
.concert to be given during the
celebration here, and the pro
gram prepared is certainly a
splendid one, and a rare musical
treat for those who love to hear
excellent music. The speeches
to be delivered by Messrs Mat
thew Gering and Otto Kinder of
Omaha, in English and German,'
will be both intellectual treats
and well worth hearing. These
will be delivered at the German
Home on Sunday afternoon, Oc
tober 19.
W. 1. SMITH DOING
NICELY IN MISSOURI
We are in receipt of a letter
from Mr. W. T. Smith, formerly
of this eity,J but now located at
Amazonia, Mo., in .which he
states that he has a desire and
longing to hear of the people of
old Plattsmouth, and encloses
subscription money for the
Plattsmouth Journal as he
knows the Journal gives the news
in detail. He further states that
he has become a full-fledged Mis
sourian; that the paw-paws are
ripe now and that they call them
Missouri bananas. He says the
opossums are plenty, fat and
nice but failed to raise the sweet
potatoes on acount of the dry
weather, which would have com
pleted the feast in this part of
Missouri, that is for a naturaliz
ed citizen of that locality. He
further states that Messrs. Newell
and Stewart are doing a great
business there at their stone
quarry and that the Judge visits
them once a month and that they
love to see the old gentleman
coming.
Stole Ten Gallon Jar.
Sometime ago parties visited
the home of Leonard Born in the
northwest part of the city, and
took a large ten-galon jar that
Mr. Born has used for several
years to store his winter's sup
ply of kraut in. The loss of the
jar was quite annoying -to Mr.
Born but as the party who took it
left the lid they can have the
same by calling for it, or if they
return the jar will receive that
gentleman's most ; heartfelt
thanks.
Henry A. Johnston, a business
man of L'Anse, ' Mich., writes:
"For years, Foley's . Honey and
Tar Compound for coughs and
colds has been our family medi
cine. We give it to our children,
who like it on . account of its
pleasant taste. It is a safe cure
for coughs and colds." It con
tains no opiates. For sale by all

birthday anniversary of
her mother, Mrs. G. C. Wilcke, of

joyable lime was spent by the la
dies in social conversation, and
in visiting with the guest of hon
or of the day. As tokens of the
passing of another milestone of
her life, Mrs. Wilcke received a
number -of handsome presents

her as remembrances of this de
lightful time. At an appropriate

cious three-course luncheon was

TO FILL THE DISTRICT
JUDGSHIP
Governor Morehead Will Study
The Matter Over Very
Thoroughly.
That the district, judgeship in
this district made vacant by the
death of Judge Travis creating
much interest is evidenced by the
following from the Omaha Bee of
this morning:
Tt is evident tha'. Governor
Morehead is going to be compell
ed to do some deep thinking be
fore he linally reaches a con
clusion in the appointment of a
district judge for the Second ju
dicial district to till the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge
Travis of Plattsmouth.
Delegations of democrats and
republicans from Plattsmouth
called on the givernor last week
urging the appointment, of l. 0.
Dwyer of that city. These dele
gations contained such men a
Matt Gering, W. W. Windham, A.
L. Tidd and some others, and
even ex-Representative George
W. Leidigh, of Nebraska City, was
present in behalf of the appoint
ment of Dwyer, although that
town has three candidates.
Today the other side lined up

They favored the apojnlment of

City. This makes three candi
dates from Nebraska City for the
appointment, but so far Sarpy
county, the other county in the
district, has not appeared with a

of limitation has not expired and
it is yet possible to come forward
with a Sarpy county man before

crusade began. We have bad a
Templars' lodge here since 18GG,
and while every other lodge in
th county has gone down, this
is and has been as lively as
ever. We have bad temperance
sermons, temperance concerts,
temperance prayer meetings and
last Sunday night, under the
auspices of the Ladies' Temper
ance society, we had a live tem
perance mass meeting. Rev. G
li. Crippin (who by the way is a
poet) opened the exercises of the
evening by general remarks on
the' subject, and by a startling
array, of statistics, which gen

under the learned gentleman's
management were very interest

of the evening. G. A. Hobson,

though he is a very-young man,
I have listened to worse speeches

Tomorrow evening some of the
young people of Plattsmouth give
an entertainment at Fitzgerald's
hall for the benefit of the High
school organ fund. A short and
very amusing piece, called ine
Spirit of '70," in which is rep
resented the supposed status
and position of men and women
under the new dispensation of
women's rule," is the principal
part of the program. Between
the acts and during the evening
some very fine instrumental and
vocal music will be given. We
hope our people will turn out
and patronize this exhibition
largely, both because of the
object, for which it is given, a
very laudable one, and also that
the young people acting therein
have worked verj- hard to pre
sent a fine picture of real im
aginary life to their audience. ISO
one who has not tried these
things knows how much labor
and hard work one of these lit
tle plays cost to the performers,
and as it is a pure gift from
them especially for the benefit
of the children now and always
at the High school, it should be
freely and largely attended. Wei

have seen the rehearsals and can
assure our readers it will be
worth going to see, and the
music also cannot, help being a
treat, to all real lovers of good
music.
The trains on the It. & M. have
been delayed somewhat for a few
days past, by the damage done lo
the road by the recent heavy
rains.
The change in the time table
of the B. & M. R. R. is a great ac
commodation to our people both
as regards Omaha or Lincoln.
WWe can now go to Omaha and
return the same day, with three
or four hours for business. Thy
can also come from Omaha here
and return the same day; and ve
can now visit our capital and re
turn lo sleep. a great accom
modation. Along the emigrant wagons
last week were two whose covers
must have been made from some
banners or canvass used duriny
the late election. One of them
had fi-R-A-N-T in such letters
that the tail of the G hung over
the side board, while the lop of
the T would reach down lo the
wheel on the other side. The
other wagon had Wilson in the
same gigantic characters. We're
glad to see tnem taking the right
kind of politics with them.
This ils to give timely warning
to all parents living in the City
of Plattsmouth, who have boys
running the streets of this city;
carrying with them rubber sling
shots, and using the same as
heretofore, to the injury of per
sons and public property, that
the parents of such boys will be
held responsible for such crimes
or offences as may be committed

Editor Herald Dear Sir: It be
ing rainy today, and nothing do
ing in trade, I thought best to
let you know that we are not all
drowned, although there is not
a bridge left, on either of the Ce
dar Creeks in Louisville, and all
streams have met with the same
fate. I will tell you something
about the town of Louisville and
its. prospects. It is growing
some. We have one dry goods
store, one boarding and beer
house combined, one grocery
the strength of sod corn one
lumber yard and hardware com
bined one doctor, blackksmith,
etc., etc., and all seem to be doing
a good business. We shall soon
have a good schoolhouse and
church; we have conversed with
parties from Illinois who say
that there will be a large emigra
tion to this part during the sea
son, and all say that Nebraska
is the best farming country they
have, yet traveled through. Let.
them come, there's room. We
need a good harness maker and
shoe maker here they could do
well at these trades. The farm
ers have most of their corn plant
ed, and what is not up will prob
ably rot in the ground, if it con
tinues raining. We all neglected
to cover our corn cribs, and will
no doubt, pay dearly for so do
ing. Kmil Padke, a former resident
of this city, but now located at
Tacoma, Washington, is in the
city making a short visit with old
friends. Mr. Radtke has been in
Oklahoma for several weeks en
joying a visit with a brother and
on his way west, decided to stop
off and renew acquaintance with
old friends.
