Lithographs advertising the ap
proaching Cuss county fair, to be held
here, have been displayed for some past.
As the time of the fair approaches, Sept.
20-23, we see more and more promise of
its proying better than any previous one.
The Cass county agricultural society
are sparing nothing that will add to the
interest of the fair. They now offer $100
in premiums to the Plattsmouth hose
companies to go out and race the after
noon of Friday, Sept. 23.
Samuel Richardson of Eight Mile
Grove had his windmill blown down by
the severe wind storm of Monday even
ing of last week. It did considerable
other damage in that vicinity. Some of
the farmers there say if was a small cy
clone. Rush Fellows of the Auburn Post
was in Plattsmouth Friday. He used to
be on the Herald and came around to
see the old quarters. We were glad to
get to know him, for we wanted to see
the fellow who had the pluck to start a
daily in Auburn, and the enterprise and
business tact to so near make a success
of it.
One Dr. Hamilton Mead of Platte
Center, at one time a resident of this city,
has been arrested and placed in jail there
for adultery with a Miss Kate Duffy who
is about 20 years of age. The opinion is
current in Platte Center that undue means
were used to accomplish the young lady's
ruin. The doctor is married to a most
estimable lady.
The Weeping Water papers do some
vigorous kicking over the base ball game
played there two weeks ago today, be
tween their horns team and our Platts-
mouth boys, in wh'ch our boys did them
Tip handsomely. They seem to want to
try it over, and as our boys are confident
they can win another game we guess
there will be no trouble to arrange anoth
er game if they really want it.
Liast wees a rea btau was tried, in
in Judge Mathews court for cutting down
a fence near his place and making a short
way out for himself. The complainant
was Andrew Fry. A jury was impaneled
and a couple of days were occupied in
examining witnesses. After the evidence
was all in and the lawyers had their say
the jury went out and soon retured with
a "not guilty" verdict.
Dr. John Black and Judge Chapman
returned Monday from an extended trip
through Cheyenne Couty Neb, they report
plenty of rain all the way from Kearney
to Pine Bluffs, along the line of the M.
P. railroad, and good grass and pastur
age. It appears, that, the drouth which
has generally prevailed throughout the
Northwest gave way to frequent local
rains in Cheyenne county during the lat
ter portion of June and while it improv
ed the crops to some extent, in that sec
tion the grasses are good and stock looks
well. These gentlemen, say that real es
tate in Cheyenne county maintains its
advance in prices and that the people of
that section are boastful of the future of
Northwest Nebraska.
New grapes are becoming plentiful.

pound the big drum.
Thursday Sheriff Eikenbary went
down to Mt. Pleasant after farmer named
Henry Beckner with a warrant charging
him with assault with intent to kill sworn
out by his brother-in-law, Adams. The
case came up for trial before Judge Rns
sel on Saturday morning, when the charge
was changed to merely assault and bat
tery. On the trial it appeared there was
an old quarrel or dispute between them,
Adams having a grudge against
Beckner. Adams swore Beckner assault
ed him without provocation, and Beck
ner swore Adams was cursing his (Beck
ner's) child and drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot hira when he remon
strated, and that he then assaulted him.
Other evidence was called in showing
that Adams had borrowed the revolver
the morning of that same day, (now last
Sunday a week ago), that it had no cart
riges in it. The weight of evidence was
in favor of the theory that Adams drew
the revolver, though he positively swore
he did not, and the judge accordingly
discharged the defendant. Prosecuting
Attorney Beeson felt indignant that the
complainant Adams had deceived him
and led him into having a case brought
up that the true statement of the facts
would have shown him was without any
foundation. '(
Chas. Pcttee visited with friends at
Louisyille last Friday and Saturday.
Mr. Wormsley, engineer at Fowler's

Miss May Weckbach is expected

self as having a delightful time in Bur
lington, but returns home sooner than
she had intended as her sister, Miss Annie,
is suddenly planning a trip to Europe.
Miss Annie will probably leave about
August 31 and will be gone scveraljmonths
visiting relatives in Germany, chiefly at
Manhein. She will go in company with
her cousin, Mr. J. V. Egenberger.
The Andress Carnival of Novelties
show gave very pleasing entertainments
in this city, that were worthy the patron
age of all except for one feature, and that
was the stale, vulgar yarns and jokes, of
the clown. If Mr. Andress would see
that the grammatical construction of his
clown's sayings are reformed, in such a
manner as to free them of the vulgar in
sinuations so boldly thrown out, he would
make his entertainment far more pleasing
and take from it the very objectionable
feature we noticed. The performances
were uniformely good and deserving of
praise.

Fred. Schrader, proprietor of the
Cedar Creek mills, has just completed
the improvements he has recently been
making in the mill. He has fitted it up
with the newest and best system of rolls,
making it a first-class roller mill. The
work has been done under the skillful
mechanical direction of O. R. Morris, a
gentleman whom we personally know to
have a large experience in such work,
Last Saturday evening the mill was
thrown open to the neighborhood people
to come in and enjoy themselves. That
it was dedicated in good style it is hardly
necessary to say. The Herald regrets
that through an error in dates it failed to
get its representative out to participate
in the festivities.
Another big Boom forour Town.
The street Railway Company say most
emphaticaly that their line will be com
pleted from the buisness part of Main
street to the fair grounds by the date of
the fa;r opening and that the
fare will be 5 cents each way, this will
certainly insure a large attendence and be
of immense benefit to the fair.
South Park Notes.
The following are a few South Park
notes made by a Herald reporter while
on a stroll through the southern part of
the city:
J. D. Tutts' comely residence, just west
of the J. R. Porter mansion, is nearing
completion.
The South Park Syndicate are making
valuable improvements in and about the
former Smith mansion.
. C. M. Wead, of the B. & M. store de
partment, is the fortunate possessor of
one of the finest half blocks in South
Park.
R. B. Windham's residence on the w$
of block 9 is well under way and will be
a credit to that part of the city.
J. N. Glenn has purchased a beautiful
five acre tract of the South Park people,
on Lincoln Avenue, which he expects to
improve as a home.
Buildings are springing up all along
Lincoln avenue and it is certainly one of
the finest residence portions of the city.
The ground offered the city by the
South Park proprietors for park purposes
is beautifully situated, ornamented with
natural trees and will make a handsome
park.
These notes explain the impressions
that portion of the city creates, and we
run them in without going to the trouble
to elaborate them and dress them down
into a more connected article.

Eighty New Homes so far this Year
and More to Follow. Not a Boom
but a Steady Growth, which
Islthe best of Prosperity.
Monday morning a Herald reporter
accepted the invitation of Hon. R. B.
Windham to take a drive around the
city and note tlie improvements that are
now going on and that have been made
this year. The result was a most grati
fying surprise. We started out hoping
to find about fifty new buildings, built
or underway. This was Mr. Windham's
estimate but the Herald representative
took it with a grain of allowance and
thought he would be satisfied with some
thing less, but by the time the first ward
was finished he had quit talking and con
fined himself to his notes and his enlarged
views.
There is no surer index to a city's
growth than the number of new homes
that are built and occupied therein, each
one of which represents one or more fam
ilies added to the population, so we con
fined ourselves to the residence portion
of the city. Of all the new houses we
found that were finished, there was not one
vacant, and we took careful note and
saw but two unoccupied houses in the
entire course of our drive, and they were
very small tenement houses, evidently out
of repair and through the negligence of
the landlord, and vacant because ,ut of
repair.
By wards the Third ard wshows the
largest number of new homes. In it we
found thirty-one. The Second ward
follows with twenty-six, and then comes
the Fourth with an even twenty, while
in the First we found but three, making
a total of just eighty new residences
which we counted, while there were
doubtless others we over-looked. The
houses range in cost and style of arehi
tecture from the laborer's cottage costing
a few hundreds to elegant homes, such
as E. L. Lewis, Mrs. Ambrose Patterson
and others are erecting, which cost sever
al thousand each. In the enumeration
no account was taken of residences ma'le
practically new by the building of addi
tions, but simply oi the houses that were
begun at the foundation. Besides the
eighty already built or under way we
know of contract" that are let for num
bers more, and it is certain the list of
new residences for '87 will swell to over
a hundred, we think it probable it will
reach a hundred and twenty-five.
The growth has been prettv evenly
distributed throughout the Sccond.Tuird TV"3 limu T , , "a"K;h

and Fourth wards. The roofs of the ffi; i r,.u ctf

inclination to build more in South Park

O. II. Ballou is building for himself is al
most finisned. As these are two points
at opposite extremes it will be seen that
the city is not confining its growth to
one particular location but is spreading
out in all directions.
No notice was taken of improvements
other than residences. Sometime later a
general and itemized review of all mi-
provements made will be given, includ-
ing the name of the owner and cost of
, . . . it .

A Beautiful Entertainment.
Miss Birdie Oneal of Clarinda is in our
city preparing to give the beautiful oper
etta of Laila, at Waterman's Opcrallousc,
on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
August 23 and 21. She has had class of
about one hundred and forty young girls
and Misses in careful training for several
weeks, perfecting them in their parts and
choruses. The operetta itself is well
worth seeing and hearing. There are in
strumental accompaniments, choruses,
songs, tubleaux, scenes, flowers and fairy
costumes, and marching, all coinbinin
to make it a most delightful entertain
ment. Let no one fail to attend. Re
member the time and place. Tickets will
be on sale at J. P. Young's: Admission,
35c, reserved seats without extra charge,
gallery 25c.
Following is a local notice from the
Clarinda Htiald:
Tub Operetta. One of the most
beautiful and satisfactory entertainments
ever given in the cit", was the Operetta
Laila, given by about sixty little gir's
and misses under the directions of Miss
Birdie Oneal. The opera house was filled
with a most appreciative audience, and
we believe we can truly say that every
one present was delighted with the enter
tainment. The part of Laila was nicely
performed by little Myrtle Hooper, while
Miss Blanche Oneal represented the Fairy
uccn 1U a most- pleasant manner. A
number of solos and duct;-, were intro-
ducetl that weru wcl1 rendered and fully
juatineii tne rounds or applause given
. . i r n a t t f
them. Little Netha Cramer sang Kittie
CD
Clyde in a most pleasing manner and was
most vigorously encored. Taking it as
a whole it was a niTjst enjoyable ent.-:-
tainment and reflects great credit on the
ability of Miss Oneal to manage so dilli-
cult a selection. We understand that
owing to the many requests to repeat it
that Miss Oneal has about concluded to
do so during county fair week.
BOLD BURGLARS.
A Lot of Them at Work in Platts
mouth, but They Will Work in tho
Penitentiary if They get Their
Dues.
Last Friday and Saturday nights
proved interesting to the police authori
ties. In the early part of Friday even
ing some unknown paities succeeded in
making an entrance into the house of the
Catholic priest. Father Kearney, and car
ried off a small amount of monev. It
was n. r.hnrch collection and tlin nvnet
am0Unt is not known, ne'ther have they
any clwe to the theives. Later the same
night the second burglary occurred.
there were burglars around. His pants
were hanging on the door knob near hi
bed and on reaching for them he discov
ered they were gone, at the same instant
he heard steps crossing one of the ad
joining rooms and a second later he heard
a man jump through the window to the
ground, and getting up and looking out
ne s ",e wno appeared White
around the shoulders as though he had
on a light coat run out through the -ate
and up the street. In his pants ho hai
fifteen cents of loose change, being a ten
cent piece that had been hummerec

pocketbook or pu'-se several V nickels

he had saved as he had had opportuni

change they claimed to have gotten back

found to be first, five V nickels, then

morning they went over and found nunc
fellows guzzling bocr and selling it out
to others. The men made no resistance
to arrest but would not return to this
.side without a requisition, so they were
taken to (Jlcnwood ard locked up and
sheriff Eikenbary went to Lincoln after
papers. Those lie got Monday and that
night he pjsscd through here going to
Des Moines to get the, proper authority
from Gov. Lumber, of Iowa, to bring the
nine fellows back. By the way, a part
of this same gang sueeeeded in stealing
several pair of pants ami some vests out
of S. & O. Mayer's store during the day
of Saturday-. They went in and looked
nt goods so long that the one wailing on
them left them to wait on some one else
and it is supposed they took that oppor
tunity c.f slipping the goods under their
coats and walking off with them. They
afterwards sold them to rai road men,
most of the missing goods wen; r covered
from the partus purchasing the in.
Yesterday morning sheriff Bikcn!iy
returned from Des Moines and brought
the nine prisoners oyer from Glenwood
and placed them in the county jail. Tho
time of their preliminary healing is set
for toworrow morning, before Judgo
Mathews.
STILL ANOTHER.
Since writing the above tin; llcit.w.o
reporter has learned of still another suf
ferer from the depredations of this gang
of crooks. Last Saturday Will Boeck.of
Boeck & Birdsall, was vi' ited in his store
by a couple of them. They looked at
one. pair ot shoes alter another, uml final
ly while he was busy waiting on other
customers they began taking shoes down
from the shelf and looking them over
prettv much at will. Mr. Boeck told
them to quit, that if they could not wait
till he could attend to them to go. They
presently left and he soon discovered h.a
had a pair of mismatched shoes left on
hands. They had taken one shoo from
each of two different pairs, evidently
over-looking the fact that the shoe's wcro
not mates. This pair of mismatched
shoes they afterward tried to sell to a
switchman.
Monday Mr. Boeck met with another
loss. Sometime during tin; forenoon
some sneakthief got at his money drawer
and took from it sSIN a ten dollar gold
piece and the balance in silver. The lo',s
us discovered during the noon h",,,r
One odd thing was that the thief took
but !?1S5 when there was nearly in the
drawei. This may serve as. ,.i..
catch the guilty party as , ,,i;nM,.v
thief would have overlooked the balance
of the cash.
It is to be hoped thin -0f nf tou'dis will
get a sentence that ry.ar serve as a severe
lesson to others. Plr.ttsinouth has almost.
enough of thi-i tort of thinr Them, is
no doubt about U,e guilt of the paities
under arrest, b'.it the ouestion is the
strength of the evidence. The Hkhald
hopes it is direct enough to convict. The
police officers, have done well to so
iromptly capture the entire crowd.
Cass County Fair. -
The Cass County Fair will be held at
Plattsmouth Sept. 20th, 21st, 22nVmd
2:3rd and the premium list just out sliows
distinctly the fact that the premiums of
fered by thu association in the various
departiuuis are second to no county in
the state of Nebraska.
Liberal purses have been offered in
every department. The speed department
shows $1,."00 in premiums alone, and the
secretary informs us that he has assurance
of a fine field of horses in the various
rings. We believe our fair will be a suc
cess this year and that nil the exhibitors
that were here last year, will be here
again in September, from this one fact if
nothing else, that all Cass County Fair
premiums were paid in full, that the
speed premiums were paid th-j day they
were awarded.
The premium list is in the hands of
Secretary Harry C. Richie at the ofiicc of
Skinner & Richie and u who have not
received one by mail are requested to call
on him and be supplied at once, and let
every citizen of Cass county take hold
and help make our fair a great success.
