Steiuker, foreman of the B. & M. car-repairing shops, returned Tuesday from a trip to Chicago. The social last Monday evening at the home of Miss Jennie Dabb, was well attended by the young folks, and was a success financialy and socially. The full page ad of R. B. Wind ham's is a good advertisement of Platts mouth and sets forth many good reasons for the mvestmeut of capital in Platts niouth realty. The Weekly Nebraska Press comes to us thi3 week with eight extra pages printeth'On fine book paper, and is entire ly devoted to booming NebraskW?ity. It? is a credit to both city and paper. The entertainment by the McGibeny family at the opera house last Thursday eveojngjiad a larjje house considering the stormy evening. Tkey gave good satisfaction and sustained their reputa tion. . Rev. W. B. Alexander and B. Spur lock, went over to Weeping Water yes terday to attend the meeting of the Cass County Sunday School convention now in session there, a report of which will be given next week. The May number of Round's Prin ter's Cabinet came to us last week and contains a steel engraving of a woman's face and shoulders. It is a work of Art which would adorn any collection. The press work is as fine as we ever saw. A number of the streets in the South Park addition have been named in honor of literary men, among them being no ticed the well known names of Haw-1 thorn, Irving, Carlisle, Emerson and oth er equally illustious lights in English and American literature. The social by the ladies of the W. R. C. held last Wednesday evening May 11th, was a very enjoyable affair. Re freshments in the form of a supper, ice cream, lemonade and cake were served. During the evening some excellent sing ing was rendered by the musical folks present and every body seemed to enjoy themselves. One of the cars of a stock train passed through Plattsmouth last Sunday afternoon caught fire near Hillsdale Iowa and before the fire was extinguished the cattle in the car were horribly burned and suffered agony which the railroad men say, was almost as heartrending as the burning of human beings. It is sup posed that the fire originated from sparks from the engine igniting the straw in the car. Last week the Haiokeye of Green wood came to us with the remark that this week it would cease to exist, for the lack of support. It says the "busines men" who promise big things to get a paper started and then let it down hard by withdrawing their support, will have a chance to do it again. And in its issue of today as it quietly folds its shrowd about itself it publishes a list of the busi ness men of Greenwood and the amount of suprjorfc each one has given it. Last Tuesday forenoon while two men named Kelly and Hayes were tap ping the water mains in a five or .six foot trench at the Sherwood corner, the wall of the trench caved in and completely "burled them. Their fellow laborers were quickly on the ppot, and they were dug out with such alacrity that they sustained oUrrlif ininriPQ Thp. fivpnt caused ' J D nsiderable excitement, and when they 5 relieved from their dangerous po- k Verv few of the many spectators x hem in the least. . ' - The storm that visited Nebraska last Friday evening was a blessing to the farmers, hut the wind thut come iu ad vance amounted to almost a hurricane and at Blue Springs did considerable damage, it struck the school house there and de molished it, the janitor, W. N. Rum baugli was fatally injured, by falling timbers. Mrs. Will Matthews was struck by lightning while in an up-stairs room at her home and killed.

The light ning also struck Emanuel Basons' resi dence, killing his daughter Minnie, aged twenty years, The bolt struck her on the breast bone, the fluid passing through her. She was sitting on a lounge look ing out of the window at the rain at the time. Rev. Alexander of the M. E. church preached a very able and interesting ser mon Sunday morning concerning the advancements which had beeu made, were being made and the present ontlook for those soon to be made in the putting down of evil. Showing how the slavery of man to man had been successfully overcome, and now the great evil of this and all other highly civilized nations, intemperance, was being successfully overcome, and even the semi-civilized countries were reaching up in attempts to throw off this terribly destrucivo power which did not stop even at the grave. As evidence of the overthrow of this power in the near future he sighted the different political parties in this country which were now at work in this country. One taking temperance as its foundation, another adopted it in its platform and the third establishing itself as opposed i '1. TT- - 1 4 1 ... A . . 1 . I .1 I VO It.
