Not withstandingthc complaints which
were made during the summer ami are
still quite frequently heard, of hard
luck on account of the scarcity of money,
Plattsmouth has witnessed a healthful
and substantial growth, and considerable
general impiovement, during the past
year. we Jiave not pa.-cii over me

one bv oM.e. but we have been
here and there enough to stc and nppre
ciate the quality and number of build
ings which huve been built and are at
present under process of construction,
and we are thoroughly satisfied that no
city in the state has taken a greater step
in the. past twelve months than Platts
mouth. Au excellent system (and when
we say e xcellent we mean it or water
works has been completed and in opera
tion for six months, affording good ii re
protection to the city, especially to
the most valuable part, and in the sum
mer blesses the residents with the power
to have green lawns and dust-ridden
streets.
Tire street railway now being con
structed, is and will be a valuable con
venience to everybody. Two miles of
the track are now complete and cars are
in operation and spin along at regular
intervals. The track now extends from
the heart of the city to the fairgrounds
and cemetery and ioins Plattsmoth
with her suburban sister, Mercerville.
When complete the railway line will
have close communication with the
principal parts of the city, extending
!llonr the avtnues and Main street, and
i n
to the depot, and this will add greatly
to tlie air ot business ana prosperity
which is settling down over Plattsmouth.

And the establishing of the Daily IIr:n-

with the advance of the past year.
As a sceuritv for the retaining of
what our city has already attained in
population 'and prosperity, rialtsmouth
is the county scat, she has the B. & M.
shoos, the water works, the brick and
tile works, which is a grand affair; the
gas works, the street railway, a pack
ing house, of small porportions which
has just been started, two daily papers

other small manufacturing and contract

The building season will
open next
spring with the laying of a $-J0,000 sys

street, which will undoubtedly be fol
lowed by the erection of several large
business blocks, anel it is said a new and
first-class elepot is on tiie programme,
while gossip has it that springtime will
bring with it a new railroad to run
from Plattsmouth north to Omaha and
south t connect with the M. P. so as to
give intercourse, by rail with Nebraska
City and the southwest.
We might still continue.' in this line to
set forth Plaltsmouth's prosperity and an

gard for the welfare of the reading pub

something else and leave something to

up the elime and 1. ft a dollar with the
ginger, and waik'-d out paying no aicu

nothing much of the ra in's actions until
auoui ten o'clock at night whoa. Jimmie
began making co-isidt-rable noise i:i his
room. Mr. B e a rer took a ugnt
and went into Jimmios room and found
him bitting up in bed, who greeted him
with "Bellow saloon-keeper, ei.d you
fetch me a glass of beer.'" Mr. Bcedeker
saw something was wrong and talked
socially to him and offered him a glass
of water, which seemed to distress him,
and he would ie:
and whine like a dog
and bit at the covers, and gave signs of
hydriphobia. Mr. Boedekcr called help
and a' doctor, but the doctor could elo
nothing, and Jimmie raved and barked

what and trot in and ate a he-arty br ak-

work, but at the railroad he would do
nothing but run around in a circle cut up
and began throwing his money away.
The boss, Frank Dellcshaw, could do
nothing with him and sent him back to
the house with a couple of men. Here
he went off into his fits and fought
and made every effort to bite those
attending him.
The marshal, Mr. May field, was out of
the city and there was no place at Louis

placed, on a plankit, here for several j
hours, till after noon, he lay struggling,
hissing, and pounding his head on the
floor, and biting the blanket--savagely.
Dr. Cook was called but could do
nothing for him. A little after noon,
Jimmie lledrauskcy came to conscious
ness and ate a little, and drank some
water, lie recognized Mr. Boedekcr and
smoked a cigar, and said he felt bad. :
Mr. MalicK talked German and
lvmiriisu
j to him and he seemed to understand ;
Engiish the best. The cuffs were t a it en
from Lis wrists and he seemed quiet but
would not pay much attention to what
was said to him, but conversed more
freely with Mr. Boedekcr.
While Jimmie Hedranskcy was being
held down in the depot a dog entered
which made frantie efforts to get at the
crazy man. On the lop of his head
right in the crown, was a deep indent
ment, which the doctor thought proba
bly caused the insanity, probably caused
by a fracture of the skull. Mr. Boedekcr
said the man had never been bitten by a
log to his knowledge and he had known
him for two years, but it is possible the
hydrophobia has been con lineal in his
blood longer than that. Before going
to Louisville Jimmie worked in Platts
mouth ar.d boarded at the Cottoge House
anel was known here as a straight-forward
bey. This afternoon Mr. Boedekcr
filed an afiidavit, charging Jimmie
Iledranskey with insanity.
This afternoon the poor man would
talk anel laugh some but every action
showed lack of rationality.
