1 C5k ( WEEKLY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOUER 11, 1894. IN AND AROUSD THE TOWN. George Washington Mayfield, of Louisville, was a Plattsmouth visitor Monday. J. M.Stone of Nehawka was shak ing hands with his Plattsmouth ac quaintances Friday. Absury Young of Marion county, Iowa, is in the city enjoying a visit with his sister, Mrs. C. W. Sherman. The people of Omaha are feeling elated over the prospect of work being commenced on that long-delayed union depot. Would that riattsraouth could say as much. The total amount of the claims pre sented on account of the small-pox in Plalteville township was about $200. Of this amount the county board al lowed all but $400. Glen wood Opinion. The calamity crusaders profess to be willing to blow in $50,000 in a futile effort to elect Tom Majors. But it was like drawing teeth to get $150 out of these patriots to pay the expenses of the McKinley reception. Omaha Bee Lee Allison's running team beat four bicyclists in a five mile relay race Friday at the Elmwood fair. The time was 13:16J, not quite as fast as the last race had at the recent Platts mouth fair when Allison was beaten. Siduey J. Kent, the fusion candi date for superintendent of lands and buildings is booked to be in Platts mouth on the 12th and 13th. He is at present, we understand, secretary of the city school board of Lincoln. The laboring men of this city will be es pecially interested in hearing him speak. The Glenwood (la.,) Opinion is re sponsible for the statement that the Russian thistle has gained quite a foothold this summer and fall along the roadbed of the C. B. & Q. railway through that county. The"Q" section mea but recently learned the exact nature of the pest and now they are seeking them out all along the line and propose to effectually kill them off. The Ashland foot ball team played in Nebraska City on Saturday and downed the Otoe county boys, although the game was close. John Robbins, a Plattsmouth boy, is a member of the Ashland team and, according to the best accounts, is their star player. The managers of the statu university team have had an eye on John and have made endeavors to secure him. Cass county has a record to make in the legislature that is a credit to her. A new lot of men will have to repre sent her before anything really good can be expected. Allen, McCaig. Madding and Livingston, any, or all of them, would be a decided improve ment on the old fossils that are trying to wiggle back to their seats, which, by the way, will have to have new ones, as the old lot have been spirited away. Weeping Water Eagle. An amusing and at the same time annoying incident marred the journey of Governor McKinley from Beatrice to Lincoln. At Da Witt a band was playing when the train pulled in, and though the crowd frantically strove to get them shut off, the music continued and Governor McKinley was only per mitted to bow to the crowd in waiting as the train pulled out. To say that the crowd of people who had gathered to listen to a few minutes' talk was mad fails to express it. Lincoln Jour nal. The South Omaha department of the World-Herald says: "Judge n. D. Travis and wife of Plattsmouth were in the city Sunday, the guests of friends. Judge Travis is the demo cratic nominee for county attorney down in Cass county, and his friends say he will snow his republican ad versary under by a handsome majority at the coming November struggle. Cass county generally goes republican by about 300. Judge Travis has al ready served two terms as county at torney." The finishing touches are now being put on the Burlington extension to Billings. As previously stated the Bur lington will begin running regular trains about October 15. The side tracks in Huntley, the junction with the Northern Pacific, were completed yesterday and all that now remains is the building of a freight house in Bil lings and the laying of a few side tracks. This will not take long and then the Burlington will be ready for business. The work in Billings began yesterday. The Pawnee County Times says: "A contemporary says that newspaper sub scriptions are infallible tests of a man's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is dishonest be will cheat the printer some way; say he bad a receipt somewhere, or sent the money and it was lost in the mail, or he will take the paper and re fuse to pay for it on the ground that he did not subscribe for it, or move away, leaving it to come to the office he left. Thousands of professed Chris tians are dishonest in this particular at least, and the printer's books will (ell fearful tales in the final judgment." unto him unto wfrtQtu honor is due. American Trains the Fastest. In high speed the United States seems just now to hold the world's record, says a writer in Scribner's. Neither England nor any other country in the world has any trains as fast for the distance as the Empire State express, which runs 440 miles at 50.7 miles an hour, including four stops; or as fast for the distance as the defunct Exposition Flyer of last sum mer, which ran 964 miles at 4S.2 miles an hour, including nine stops. Among the very fast trains we find the following pretty authentic records of performances in the United States which, so far as 1 know, have not been equalled in England since a run on the Great Western in 1843 of fifty-three miles at sixty-eight miles an hour, and that was not up to the best gives here: September,1891,on the New York Central, New York to East Buffalo, 436 miles, at fifty-nine and three-fifths miles an hour, including three stops; 1892, same railroad, twenty-one and one-third miles, at the rate of seventy two and seven-tenths miles an hour, no stops; Pennsylvania railroad, 1891, Jersey City to Washington, 227 miles, fifty-four and three-tenths miles an hourf no stops; New York Central, 1S93, eighty and twenty-fifths miles at sixty-eight and one-half miles an hour, no stops. A coterie of bankers and railroad heelers in Omaha have banded them selves together into a "state business men's association," the principal pur pose being to secure the defeat of Judge Holcomb for governor. One member of the outfit attempted to work up a boycott on the Omaha Bee because of its supporting Holcomb, but the first advertising patron whom the heeler approached gave the latter such a point blank refusal to listen to his scheme that the boycott racket was dropped with a rush. The voter who pays attention to the harpings of such a gang of heelers is a rank idiot, but fortunately Nebraska contains very few such idiots. Reports being received from the western part of the state by the gen tleman selected by Governor Crounse to conduct the investigation into the alleged destitution in the western counties of the state are already re ceiving advices that convince them the reports have been greatly exag gerated. From some of the counties originally reported to be the wors' sufferers the county officials report that there are no new applications for relief over the number that is found on hand every year asking and receiv ing relief. Another rumor that has been doing active duty was to the ef fect that thousands of cattle and hogs and horses were destined to starve in the western part of the state this winter. A Wyoming stock-buyer,who recently scoured the western part of the state in search of cattle, went home with forty-six head and reported that the cattle in the western part of the state have all been picked up by western buyers, while in the central part the same condition prevailed. Lincoln News. All legal business given prompt at tention, D. O. Dwyer, attorney, Platts mouth. The democratic rump or bolting ad junct of the Majors boodle'rs at Omaha have sent word to Hon. J. M. Patter son of this city that they had appoint ed him to act as central committeeman for Cass county. Mr. Patterson laughs about it and says he will pay no atten tion to the business that he is for Hol comb. The measly outfit must be in bad straits to thus use a man's name in public without consulting him. Perry Walker has purchased the Weckbach residence property, corner Fourth and Oak streets, and expects to move his family therein in the course of a few months. The con sideration was $1,250 and Mr. Walker's present property on West Pearl street.

The Brown drug store changed bands Wednesday, the new owuers, C. II. Smith and C. II. Parmele, taking charge at noon. Mr. Smith will have charge of the business, and being an experienced pharmacist and a gen ial good fellow, deserves the best of success. Mr. Brown will remain in this city for a short time and it is pos sible may conclude to re-locate here. Stephen Clifford, aged 81 years, de parted from this life Wednesday morn ing at his home on North Eighth street. His demise was due to old age. Mr. Clifford was born in Ireland and came to America over forty years ago. He has resided in Plattsmouth since 1S79. lie was a man of education and many good attainments and his aged widow and children have the sincerest sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement. Mrs. W. B. Shryock of Louisville is in the city visiting with Mrs. J. W. Cutright, and is incidentally looking around Lincoln with a view of making it her home on account of the superior school facilities. Lincoln News.

Some four or five weeks ago U. S Marshal Frank White's fine $120 breech-loading gun was stolen from the Jones livery barn. The theft was reported to the authorities and Sheriff Eikenbary finally came into possession of facts which fastened the crime onto Lon Stultz, a twenty-year-old youth well-known about town. Stultz has lately been a member of a surveying party over in Iowa, and the sheriff journeyed in that direction today, placed Stulz under arrest and brought him to this city today. Stultz was arraigned before Justice Archer today on the charge of grand larceny and en tered a plea of guilty. He was ac cordingly bound over to the district court and, in default of giving a $200 bond, was committed to jail. His crime calls for a penitentiary sentence as punishment.
