Hj.ti M.iujfaotures A citi Icinati of means ami one wlio means husiness is in town in consultation with President Wind ham of the hoard of trade and his committee in regard to establishing a factory in l'lattsuiouth. It is not good public policy at the present time to give tie.' details to the world, hut the proposed factory is one which will lie uite an addition to the manufacturing interests here and the goods w hich will he made are a staple. Th" plan is to confine the investors lo three or four capi talists, and to push the establish ment to an immediate completion. Within a month or two after the signing of the' agreement the fac tory can he in operation. The effort that the committee is making to induce capitalists to locate here has resu.lted already in attracting the attention of several eastern firms and matters looking toward the enlargement of thin town's industrial output are in i better condition than ever hefore A letter was idiown to The Hkk AU by an attorney who is the rep resentative of several wealthy Omaha men, which outlines th plan for the organization of Mill another company, which is sure to lo a large tnisiness and its head quarters are to heat Plattsmouth. Th9 Now Opera House. Tin: II i:k.t.i isol'llcially informed that the re building of the Plaits mouth opera house and the Mock which was horned a few week ago is now a certainly. As soon as the insurance matters, which are pro gressing s it i-dactorily, have been adjusted the plans of the builders of the new edifice will he given lo the public. As has been suggested by Tin; IIkkw.h, the new opera house will be on the ground Hour, the entrance on Main street and the body of the house in the rear of the fiirrouudiiiL' storerooms. The new building will be a much more im posing one than the old hoiipe and will be in style and finish a com panion piece for the Hotel K'iley building. Small Pox at Large. Frank Kennedy and Charlie K'eid, two smallpox patients who were re moved from the J.anciiKter county jail to a tent on the west side of Salt Creek, southwest of South and First streets, J.inculn, escaped from their guards at midnight last night. The fellows effected their escape during the temporary ab sence of C.uard I I.ilUm.m by hit ting Adams, the either, gmud, over the head with th'.' ball attached to their legs by a chain, llall.mau heard Adann cry when he was hit andhastciied toward the tent in time to see the two patients run up the creek, lie fired several shots at the fugitives but missed them. Intelligence of the escape was sent to the county jail and to police headquarters and a search was instituted for the fugitives, but it was fruitless. The theory of Health Officer liar train that Kennedy and K'eid were shamming and did not have small pox, but produced the eruptions on their skin by the application of croton oil will enjoy a boom in pop ularity. Health Officer Jfartram has persistently clung to his theory against the vigorous opposition of several leading physicians, and on numerous occasions predicted that the men would escape if not closely watched. II is prediction has been realized. At an early hour this morning the fugitives had not been captured. Government Weather Report. The I'. S. report issued Iroin Crete last night for the week ending at that time says: During the entire week copi ous rains fell in many sections for the st.ite, greatly im proving the outlook for growing crops. The temperature has averaged about the normal for the state, being about oae degree below in southern sections and the same above in the eastern and northern. The rain the past week has varied from a 'light fall in the southern sections to frequent copious show ers in oilier parts of the state. More than three inches fell in Cherry county, and two inches are reported from Dundy and Cuming counties; over one inch from Wash ington, Holt, Stanton, Dodge, Cedar Madison and Lancaster counties. Many othersections report about a half inch. Corn has done well in all sections oi the state, and in those parts f'lv(,rt'(l witu Imwrrs 'luring '" week there is prospect of a good crop.

Showing-the Town. Samuel Waugh, M. II. Murphy, k M. Windh am, Ilyron Clark, and other public spirited citizens are to day showing sights and talking business to a visiting prospector who is looking for a location for a factory. The old power house building and the canning factory are possible selections. PEOPLE AND AFFAIRS. "Judge W. II. Newell," said are publican citizen at The K'iley last evening, "seems to be worrying over democratic friends. There is little doubt but that if Newell is nominated by the republicans to oppose Frank K. While for lloat representative that he will defeat the democratic-railroad candidate. My the way, it is really amusing to see The Journal grow eloquent about anti-railroad candidates and then whoop it up for its special favorite the Hon. Frank K. White. Hut then it is all right for a dem ocrat to be a railroad man. The sincerity of democratic managers 1 is suinething wonderful." Two car loads of No. 1 hard wheat shipped from Sterling, Neb., a few days since, fell into the bauds of Chief Inspector Smillie of the state inspection department at Chicago It tested sixty-four and a half pounds to the measured bushel and was pronounced the finest grain the inspector had ever seen. Samples were kept for the world's fair ex hibit. The Journal seems to have been interviewing MiSton 1). ISilk on local political affairs, and it rightly classes him as "a prominent demo crat." He is a democrat for this campaign and is doing his level best to injure the republican cause by shady methods, but his "work' has lost its effectiveness. He is a detriment to any party or individ ual he pretends to aid. The slush about "a deal" in regard to some contracts is on a par with demo cratic campaign talk. The average democrat has "deal" on the brain and cries because he is not in on the ground floor. It is currently reported on the street that the ultimatum has bet n issued from the sheriff's office that "Tin: Hi:k'.LI) shall have no more legal advertisements from this office." Well, well! That sounds rich, too. The power and patron age attached to a public office, sus tained by the whole people, is to be used by the present occupants, so it is alleged, to club the press to silence -in regard to the wrong iloings of officials. I low do the honest democratic farmers of Jef fersonian simplicity and Jack sonian integrity like that? How does any gootl citizen like it r Till-lll-k'.Uli is proud to remark, and it means exactly what it says, that no patronage-disitcnsiiiir mill ran have any effect on this newspaper j in Client, nig u. mi-, Jll-.K'AU) Will print the news.

Ami on behalf of the people who pay the officials of Cass county and the city of Plattsmouth, it will demand a faithful perfor inatice of duties on the part of offi ciala and that due respect be paid U pul'lic sentiment. The people do not put men in office to bulldoze the newspaper!! to keep (lie condi- tmii id public alf in s trom the eyes of the taxpayers. .-l.t l.iiKIt 11Y A X I i k'l i. Sunday evening Gus Salisbury, a f,irim.r living near Louisville, went to that town and filled up on poor whisky. A negro tool advantage of his drunken state, slugged him and took about ifHii from his pocket and skipped. The robber has not been captured. The Murray It. inner is no more. The owner, J. A ISasum, has moved the plant to Nehawka and has issued the first number of his new newspaper The Nehawka Register. The first number of the new paper arrived at this office today and it will hereafter be published on Fri day of each week. The Register will be absolutely mum in politics, but if it publishes any considerable amount of local news the Nehawka people will give it a liberal support In the mean time the people ot Ne hawka and all other towns will con tinue to read Till-: J I KKAl.n the best new-paper of the county seat and reliably republican. THEY I.IVK NKAK KACLK. A veritable avalanche of leg.. I acumen and power was projected into the sacred precincts of Judge Lansing's court at Lincoln yester day. It was thus projected by- Judge Julius S. Cooley, the learned Omaha jurist, and was in the form of an answer in the case of Griffith S. Cooley vs. Marion G. Keefer and Willard Keefer. Defendant is caughterof the plaintiff, and Judge Itiliusis her lawyer. The plainttff sues to recover a note for $."'.), which defendant claims to have paid with a note not yet due. Th defendants also claim that they are iiymg 10 Keep me tun gentleman from permitting a favorite son to squander his estate in Cass county. The members of the Presbyterian church are requested to meet imme diately after prayer meeting tomor row evening at the church for the transaction of important business. It is rumored that the' Chicago Herald will purchase the morning half of the World ll-rald and run it as The Daily Morning Herald and a straight and sassy demo cratic organ. The evening half of the paper, according to this ar rangement, is to be known as Tl e lvvening World and will be owned by Mr. Hitchcock, be classed as in dependent, and during the present campaign support Crounse for gov ernor. a Mlder Asa Sleeth, who was to pre- fide over the trial of Chancellor Creighton, will not have the oppor tunity. The friends of Chancellor Creighton. believing that the eider leaned a little towards the other side, appealed to the bishop and he has, it is understood, appointed Dr. L. F. Itritt of this city to preside at the trial. J. C. Kikenhary said toTliK Hl-K-ALU last evening: "We have just clipped a harvest that we are proud of out west of town. Off of nine acres of ground we got in measured w heat 404 bushels. If the "calamity howlers" can beat that we want to see their hand. Cass county knows not what a crop failure is and our crops are always pretty good ones, but I don't believe many farmers have got a nine acre record which will ecpial mine this year." And he subscribed for an extra copy of Tin; f Daily Hekalu and left for home rejoicing. The M. P. return train will be held until (i o'clock next Monday at I'nion if fifteen tickets are sold at Plattsmouth that day. The occas ion is that of the old settlers' re union.
