We have had paper and ink on the
way from St. Louis since Friday, the 22d

It U rather provoking to be so near out

the present writing
"We learn that the Post Office at Beat
rice, in Gage county, was entered a few
nights ago by some thief or thieves, and
omething near four hundred dollars in

were taken. No definite particulars are
received.
We understand all freight for this cty

change in the programmewill not be made
until the B. &. M. track is completed so
as to run the cars across to this side, or
at least down to the river bank on the
opposite side.

We made a hasty visit to our sister

Work to be Commenced Immediately.
We learn from Mr. Lunt, Division En
gineer on the B. & M. R. R. at this
place, that the Company have decided to
bridge the river at this place, and that
work will be commenced immediately.
The great demand for a railroad extend
ing into the interior of the State makes
it important that the work- of building
the B. & M. be pushed with all possible
vigor, hence, the determination to at once
bridze the river, so that there will be no
delay in crossing material for the con
struction of the road. They cannot, of
course, construct a permanent bridge on
so short notice, but they will put in a pile
bridere. similar to the ones used at
Omaha every winter, which can be used
until the ice breaks up in the spring.-
This will bring through trains from Chi
cago into the depots in this city, and our
farmers will be able to ship their grain,
cattle, etc., direct to Chicago, without
change of cars. The B. & M. R. R. Co
of Nebraska do not talk a great while
about doing this or that ; and when they
want anything done they immediately go
to work and do it. The first permanent
R. R. bridge across the upper Missouri
will be nt Plattsmouth. Stick a pin
there.

A Proposition to the llitincK Men of
riatthfuoutii.
Our readers will remember that some
time since we made a notice that 31 r.
Wilcox, Agent of the Great Western
Telegraph company, was in the city.
While here he was urged to construct a
line from Plattsmouth west, via Ash
laud to Lincoln. ' Not having authority
to speak for the company, but being fa
vorably impressed with the route, Mr.
Wilcox immediately asked advice from
the company, at the same time sending
them maps of the country. The follow
ing is the reply of the Secretary and
Treasurer :
Office of the Great Western 1
Teleurapii Company,
84 and 8G La Salle Street,

after we reach Omaha with our line,
which we are now to work on through
Iowa, with much activity. Yours,
d. SNOW, S. & T.
Mr. Wilcox is again in the city, and
will remain for a day or two in order to
secure the requisite amount of stock.
We hope the business men and property
owners of this city and Aahland will avail
themselves of this proposition, and will
take the required amount of stock with
out unnecessary delay. It will not only
be of vat benefit to the town and public
in general, but there is no stock pays
a better dividend than telegraph stock.
The Great Western are already paying
1 8 per cent on their lines in ojeratiou,
and they bring the cost of telegraphing
down oue-half. Some of the soundest
financiers of Chicago are interested in
this Company. Mr. Wilcox informs us
that their poles are being delivering
across Iowa, and that they will be in ope
ration to Council Bluffs, by January.
From there they will come to Glenwood,
thence to Plattsmouth, Ashland and Lin
coln. (

Caugbt In the Act of firing a House
alter taa viae Attempted to Gar
rot m .ltiz.
For some time past the officers here
have kept a sharp watch on two or three
men who have been pointed out as
"roughs" of the first water, but not
until last night were they able to detect
them in their operations. Between
twelve and one o'clock last night, as Dr.
McCluskey was passing up Second street
toward 3Iaitf, while passing a building
which stood in the street being moved
from the railroad depot ground. he was
accosted by a stranger and asked where
he was going and where he lodged. Not
liking the tone of the man, the time and
place of the request, he paid no attm
tiou to it, but kept ahead. J ust at this
time two other men came out from the
door of the house, and all three of them
started for the Dr. Being unarmed, and
believing discretion the better part of
valor with that kind of men, he "double
quicked" it up to 3Iain street, whither
he was followed by the would be garro
ters. He found - Marshal Murphy, to
whom he related the occurrence, and the
3Iarshal summoned 3Iessrs. Holbrook,
Erwin and Morris, and proceeded with
the Dr. to the scene of the exploit
Just before reaching there they saw a
light in the building ; approaching very
cautiously they discovered three men in
the act of setting fire to the building,
with the probable intent of creating an
excitement in order to facilitate their ef
forts at robbery. The building was close
to Mr. Eaton's Jewelry Establishment,
and it. Ls probable they intended "go
ing through" that during the excite
ment. The 3Iarshal and his posse "gob
bled" the three of them before they had
time to make an attempt at escape. A
search resulted in finding a piece of small
roie in the pecket of ono of the men,
which was fixed with an easy running
noose, by what is known as a "hangman's
knot. ' ' Neither weapons nor money was
found about them. They were lodged in
jail, and this morning they were brought
before Justice O'Neill on information
filed by the 3Iarshal. They gave their
names as Michael Reagan, Charles Soni
ers and John Fitzpatriek. Reagan has
an alias as Michael Chronean, and says
he is out of the Omaha jail on bail, be
ing charged with larceny and forgery.
He is a keen looking rascal, and has been
in the city about three weeks. He came
from the west and is said to have left
Cheyenne to save his neck. Somcrs is a
regular bull dog in appearance, and could
garrotc or murder a man without winc
ing. The rope was found in his pocket.
Both these men have been pointed out
to the officers here as the worst roughs
on the TJ. P. R. R. line, and both are
said to have been warned off the road
by the vigilance committees of different
places. The man giving his name as
Fitzpatriek appears like a man liable to
be controlled by the other two, and one
who devoted most of his time to drink
ing poor whisky. The evidence before
O'Neill developed the facts, as above
stated, relative to the setting of the fire,
and they were committed for trial at the
next term of the District court on the
charge of Arson.

We visited, this morning, the new
hotel building being erected by Capt. E.
B. Murphy, between Fifth and Sixth
streets, north side of Main. It is a mag
nificent building, and needs to be seen in
all its part.?, while being constructed, to
fully understand its many advantages.
Everything is being made out of the very
best material and put together with the
greatest care. The size of the main
building is 44x05 feet, and is four stories
high; then there is an L GOxlS feet,
and three stories high. The first story
of the main building is eleven feet in the
clear, and will be used exclusively as a
dining room. The first story of the L
is to be used for a cook room, wash room
and pantries. This story is built of mas-
ive limestone rocks, and cost not less
than $2,500. The second story of the
main building is thirteen feet in heiirht,
and half of it is to be used by Hambur
er & Co. as a store, and the other half
will be used for the hotel office, bar-room,
wash room and baggage room. The
third floor is divided into ten rooms,
mostly suites, and two large parlors.
Ihe fourth story will contain from fifteen
to twenty large and commodious bed
rooms, besides two or three suites. The
second and third floor of the L is to be
divided into bed rooms-, also. The sec
ond and third stories of the main build
. It'll"
l95 are 'bricked in, making them sub-
is being put up with the greatest of care,
and every piece of timber that goes into
it is carefully inspected by Mr. Murphy
himself. The building will cost him,
when completed, about $15,000, and will
be completed about the first of Decem
ber.
Mr. Editor : I see by a recent issue
of your paper, that Mayor Wheeler has
ordered all Keno rooms closed and all
participants in the game arrested and
brought before the Recorder or some
Justice of the Peace. This is all proper
and right, and is endorsed by the good
people of the town ; but there is a query
in the minda of manv. which I would
like to hear yourself, the Mayor, or some
one else, solve ; and that is, why was the
game of "Keno" so summarily put
down and another game of ennal ini
moral tendencies allowed to hold hi?h
carnival in onr midst, and no word of
condemnation uttered against it I L re
fer to the notorious game of "Faro,"
which I am credibly informed is oven
nightly in our city, and where many of
the young men 01 the city congregate to
learn the gambler's art ; and wnere, if I
am not misinformed, even city officials
spend u portion of their time and sums
of money which should be devoted to
other purjtoses. Will our worthy Mayor
place auother order in the hands of the
Marshal, ordering all "Faro" rooms
closed and participants in tins game ar-

!' I'l.A JTS-
Ttye Great t Iwnferr 3-pot
of Xe-
Tlie Demand no Great that Sufficient
Lumber eon Id not be
Procured.
About one year ago there was only ne
himber yard in Plattsuiouth, and that
only doue a moderate business. As the
country west of us commenced to settle
up, the trade became better and two
other yards were opened, and during the
past season they have all sold all the
lumber they could get . We , have often
noticed, while passing the different yards
that teams were waiting the arrival of
lumber, and the yards were constantly
empty. Knowing that the men engaged
in the trade were all thorough going busi
ness men, we thought strange that they
did not keep a supply ; but upon inquiry
we found that they were handling a large
amount of lumter much more than
they had expected to, and that it was
impossible to get lumber here as fast as
it was wanted. We find upon inquiry at
the different yards, . that about one mil
lion three hundred thousand feet of pine
lumber has been sold at the yards in this
city during the past , two months, and
every dealer says' he could have sold more
than double the quantity he has if the
lumber could have been procured. The
proprietor of one of the yards informs
us that he has counted up, on several
different occasions, sales to the amount
of over a tlvousaiul dollars in & single day
that he lias turned away because he did
notavethe lumber to Bupply them.
Aside from the amounts sold at the yards,
we know fif several persons who have re
ceived their lumber direct from Chicago
among others, Capt. Murphy has pur
chased direct most of the lumber used in
bis immense hotel building. These. are
facts and figures which speak more for
the prosperity of our city and surround
ing country than all the talking our citi
zens could do in a year. The B. & 31.
R. R. will be completed to this city, and
trains running through from Chicago, in
less than twenty days, and then the sup
ply of lumber can be kept up to the de
mand, although the demand will, without
doubt, be greatly increased as soon as it
is known that lumber can always be had
at our j ards, and that, too, at the re
duced prices cousequent upon direct
transportation. In less than six months
from date Plattsmouth will be the great
lumber mart of the West

Messrs. Clark & i'lummer have decid

trance for teams into the second story
tiom the alley at the west end. This
will answer in the place of an elevator,as
grain can be loaded into the cars from
the second story by means of a "chute,"
