DYSPEPSIA
Up to a few weeks ao I considered myself
the champion Dyspeptic of America. During
the years that I have been afflicted I have tried
almost everything claimed to be a specific for
Dyspepsia In the hope of finding something
that would afford permanent relief. I had
about made up my mind to abandon all medi
cines when I noticed an endorsement of Sim
mons Liver Regulator by a prominent
Georgian, a jurist whom 1 kuew, and concluded
to try Its effect in my case. I have used but
two bottles, and am satisfied that I have struck
the right thing at last: I felt Its beneficial ef
fects almost Immediately. Unlike all other
preparat ons of a similar kind, no special in
structions are required as to what one shall or
' shall not eat. This fact alone ought to com
mend it to all troubled with Dyspepsia.

ATTEMPT AT HAMILTON TO KILL THE IRISH
AGITATOR.
Hamilton, May23. At the close of
O'Brien's speech at the opera house to
night he left the hall by a rear door and
took a. covered carriage. On the driver's
seat was John Nelson and T.-P. O'Brien,
i j lh? carriage faced about for the hotel
a, hostile crowd suddenly appeared.
There was a report, the reins dropped out
of John Nelson's hands," and with the ex
clamation, "O my God, I'm shotl" he fell
forward on the seat. Eight mrfre sjt
were fired without doing harm, when T.
P. O'Brien succeeded in securing the reins
and lashed the horses through the crowd
n th hotel. Here was another hostile
: crowd who hooted and shouted. Mcila-

City Council.
The Council met in regular session
Monday evening with all members pre
sent. The minutes of all the meetings
fron April 2'Jth up to date were read.
Mr. Murphy objected to the minutes of
Saturday evening.May 14th on theground
that the meeting was held specially
for the locating of the proposed water
maius and therefore the action taken on
other business was illegal.
Mr. Oreusel said it was a regular ad
journed meeting and was the same as a
regular meeting as far as the carrying on
of business was concerned.
The mayor called for the opinion of
the city attorney. The attorney replied
that if the meeting Mas adjourned for
the special consideration of one question
the transaction of other business would
not bo legal, but if the purpose of the
meeting was not specified any work what
ever, could be done.
The minutes were finally accepted by a
majority vote.
A petition signed by about a dozen
tax-payers was presented, asking the
grading of Cut-Off street, also permission
to woik out their poll-tax on the same.
On motion of Mr. Oreusel the petition
was referred to the committee on streets,
alleys and bridges with power to act.
A letter from Ogallalla stated that the
bonds voted by that town in payment
for the Water Witch fire engine, bought
from this city, had deen found illegal,
and the city board desired Plattsmouth
to accept warrants on the general fund
of Ogallalla in lieu of the bonds. The
matter was referred to the committe on
finance with power to act.
The report of the police judge for
April was referred to the finance com
mittee.
The following bills were reported,
referred to the finance committee and
presented again by the committee recom
mending their allowance: J. II. Bart-
ner, special police, $ 2; J. 8. Duke, ma
terial for hose houses, locks etc., $12.90:
M. Schnellbacher,, rent for hose house,
$3.50; J. II. Waterman, salary for three
months, $40; Cass county, fees for record-
ng,$4.35; Journal, for printig, $29.75;
?eter Merges, rent for council room, $10.
The bills were allowed.
The finance committee reported that
$000 were past due as part payment on
the fire hose and recommended the pay
ment of that amount to the American
Hose Co.
Mr. Murphy asked if the hose hadbeea
properly tested, if it had not he thought
it should be before it was paid for, as the
company guaranteed it to stand a test he
believed it would not be business like
nor would the councilmen be doing their
duty to accept the hose without first test
ing them. He moved that the committee
on fire and water be instructen to test the
hose in accordance with the contract.
His motion was not seconded.
The question then arose as to the facil
ities the committee had for testing the
hose.
Most of the councilmen expressed
themselves as willing to accept the hose
without the test as they were guaranteed
to stand a pressure of 450 lbs. for four
years ano? the $600 was only a partial
payment, and, if the hose proved not
good afterward the remainder of the
money could be withheld until the guar
antee was fulfilled.
On motion of Mr. McCallen the $600
was ordered paid.
Mr. Greusel then moved that the com
mittee on fire and water be instructed to
take five sections of hose to the shops to
be tested, and that they be present at the
test. Motion carried.
The financial committee recommended
the adoption of a resolution changing
the sum of $138.29 then in the Fitzgerald
judgment fund to the Dovey judgement
fund as the Fitzgerald judgement had
been settled. Resolution was adopted.
Mr. Weckbach presented an ordinance
for the vacating of a portion of Marble
street between blocks 8 and 49, the or
dinance was passed under a suspention of
the rules.
A petition from J. W. Sage asking per
mission to place the dirt he excavated
from his property on Sixth street, in pre
paring to build a barn, on the south side
of the Sixth street bridge was referred
to the committee on streets, alleys and
bridges, with power to act
Mr. Dutton presented a resolution re
quiring the laying of three blocks of wa-
tpr maina. beeinnins at the corner of
- y a
Tenth and Rock, running west to Elev
enth, then north two, blocks, and the es
tablishing of two . fire hydrants, one at
the cornet of Rock and Eleventh and the
other at the corner of Eleventh and Mar
ble. at $50 per-vear per hydrant.
2' "-"V :r tail he was, not in favor of
ion as there were
- -..- i ' t2 citv and it
tills one resolution was adopted, petitions
would come in from every ward asking
for mains and hydrants and he did not
think the city could stand the expense.
but if it could and this resolution was
passed he would sec some petitions in
from his ward. The resolution was
adopted.
Mr. Weckbach, chairman of the special
committee on printing, reported on the
bids for city printing, favoring the Her
ald for the job work and the Jouroal
for the advertising. On motion the
printing was given as suggested.
Mr. Murphy then asked permission to
speak on a personal matter, which per
mission being granted, he directed his
dicourse at Mr Sherman, editor of the
Journal, in regard to articles which ap
peared in the Journal during last week,
accusing Mr. Murphy of having acted
selfishly in having had two hydrants
placed near his property, the hydrantu
being of no service whatever, to anybody
but himself.
Mr. Murphy denied the statement most
emphatically, suid it was false and, had
been thrown at him simply because he
belonged to a different political creed
than Mr. Sherman. He said the nearest
fire hydrant to his property was 150 feet
away and the other one something over a
block and nearer to the residences of
us neighbors t'jan to ins. mv.
Murphy continued his address, giv
ing Mr. Sherman's character as an
editor a thorough overhauling, and
showing his disapproval of the inventing
and publishing of such reports very em
phatically.
Mr. Dutton said he was accountable
for those hydrants being placed in Mr.
Murphy's neighborhood and Mr. Mur
phy had nothing to do with the placing
of those hydrants in their present posi
tion. Mr. Dutton also said he had one
hydrant near his property but it was not
there for his benefit as much a3 for his
neighbors'.
Mr. McCallen said he did not think
it would hurt him very much to have a
hydrant on both sides of his house.
Mr. Weber said that according to the
Journal the mains had been extended
three blocks to accomodate him, he on-
y wished it were true.
Mr. Greusel said there was a hydrant
at his corner and he was glad of it, but
he was not the cause of their being there,
nor could a better location be found.
The mayor said he thought the coun
cilmen were all in hard luck but if re
ports were true he had three hydrants at
his place.
The cow ordinance was then produced,
read by title, laid over till next meeting,
and council adjourned.

THE LATEST NEWS.
EROM FOREIGN SHORES.
Washington, D. C, May 22. The tide
of immicrration continues to flow in the
direction of the United States. Nearly
150,000 emigrants have been landed since
Jan. 1. This is nearly 50 per cent in ad
vance of the number for the corres
ponding month of last year. One day
recently the arrivals at Castle Garden
were 9,000. If the increase continues at
the same rate, the arrivals for the year
will be a round 500,000. It is not likely
that they will get up to the figures of
1883, when they amounted to 770,000.
Of course the Irish and Germans still pre
dominate in the arrivals. That has al
ways been the case, and is probably more
marked now than usual. All the Irish
who are dissatisfied with their lot and
there aie but few who are not and can
get away, are coming apparently. The
number of Irish who have come to this
country during the last century is in
round numbers 4,000,000. Germans, ditto.
They come, however, from every country.
Ireland and Germany 4,000,000 each,
England 1,000,000, France, Sweden and
Norway ditto. This year will bring the
grand total of immigrants in the country
up to 14,000,000. .
THE NATIONAL DF.TLL.
Washington, May f "
formalities of t1 "
place ct r- '
suing
men cleared a space about the flagstaff
in front of camp headquarters in the
monument lot. The Washington light
infantry copra of this district marched in
and formed a hollow square about the
camp ground flagstaff. General Augur
and his staff entered the square, the chap
lain invoked God's blessing upon the
camp, the new garrison flag was drawn
to the mast head, the troops presented
arms and the surrounding crowd cheered.
The national drill was thus formally
opened.
It looks more hopeful for the manage
ment of the drill tonight. Several mili
tary companies arrived today and went
into Camp Washington, and with them
came thousands of vis-itors who went to
boarding houses and cheap hotels, in al
most every instance, whereat the proprie
tors of the principal hostelries who con
tributed from $300 to $800 each to the
drill, cursed. They are roaring mad and
blame the committee having the visitors
in charge. The committee have opened
their books and correspondence to prove
that they have done all they could for
the hotel men who made contributions,
but the visitors have objec ted to the pri
ces and the boarding houses reap the
harvest of thf-ir superior coadjutors. The
prospects are that the attendauce will be
fairly good, the drill first-class and that
prises and expences will be paid in full.
The dress parade at five o'clock this
afternoon was a success. About 2,000
soldiers participated and there were prob
ably 10,000 spectators. Tomorrow the
real business begins; so far these have
ouly been preliminaries. The weather is
warm and rain is predicted.
DESTRUCTIVE nAIL AT FRANKLIN.
Franklin, Neb. . May 22, Special to
the Bee. One of the most terrific hail
storms that ever visited this region pass
ed over here yesterday about 3 o'clock.
Hail stones about one inch in diameter
fell during a tremendous gale and cover
ed the ground to a debth of two inches.
All growing crops were completely driv
en into the ground and stock were hit
untill they were all bruised and bleeding.
Several head of cattle and horses are
known to have been driven into wire
fences and terribly mangled, If it reach
ed all over the country as bad as in this
section, the amount of damage must be
very great. All public and private build
ings had their windows completely rid
dled on the north and many glasses brok
en on the east. Shutters and wire screens
were driven in and houses were flooded
with water. The damage to the academy
building alone is estimated above $200,
The churches and public school buildings
are also badly damaged. A cloud seems
to have burst north of town and the streets
and all low ground were covered witn
rushing torrents of water and dry creeks
were deep enough to swim a horse, No
thing like it was ever known even by the
oldest inhabitants. We shall await the
riports of other points with great interest
as reports from a mile and a half east of
town say that the hail covered the earth
six inches deep or more.
A VILLAGE DESTROYED.
Superior, Wis., May 23 The village
of Hawthorne, on the Omaha road, about
eighteen miles south or that place, was
burned entirely by fire, which ia now
sweeping through valuable timber in that
vicinity. No lives were lost. The pe
cuniary loss cannot be estimated at pres
ent. Reports of fire at Ironwood and
vicinity are denied this morning. A
special from Hurley says no fire exists
there.
A BALOONIST'S TERRIBLE FATE.
Oskalossa, Iowa, May 23. A large
crowd witnessed a fearful accident here
to-day, by which Willam Andrews, an
amateur balloonist, was dashed to death.
The balloon was inflated by hot air, and
rose rapidly about seven hundred feet,
Andrews clinging to the trapeze. Sud
denly it was observed that the balloon
had caught fire, and Andrews was seen
climbing upward, endeavoring to put out
the fire. He was unsuccessful, and in a
moment hi9 body came whirling down
and struck on a business block, being
dashed into an unrecognizable mass
Several ladies fainted.
