P, Smith, the druggist, was in Omaha today. . Mrs. T. J. Todd, left on a visit to Ashland this morning. Coroner Henry Bceck went out to Louisville this morning. The Y. W. C. T.

Morris' mother and sister, Mrs. Davis and daughter Miss Rose, of St. Paul, are visiting her. The ladies of the M. E. church have the esteem and thanks of the Hhuald force for a great delicious pie. Uert Sage ami b elix Kennedy re turned last evening from Omaha whither they went Monday to put in a new set of flues. Mrs. James Carruth, of Indiana, who has been visiting her son, Frank Carruth of this city, returned to her home last evening. S. Waugh, who left for Virginia yesterday, will be gone two or three weeks, instead of six as stated in Mon day's Herald. Levi Oolding laid a twelve-foot sidewalk in front of his property on Main street to-day. It is a good exam ple for a number of Main street lot own- ers. George Francis Train will have a chance to carry out his threat and leave tne United States dominion forever on account of the execution of the Chici anarchists. G. II. Babbit, democratic candidate for sheriff, B. C. Yeomaris and E. II. Wooley were in the city this morniug. It was simply an accident(?) that the' all appeared here together. Thos. Tatterson left last night for Omaha, and was united in marriage this afternoon at 3 o'clock to Miss Nettie Myers, at her home. J. M. Patterson, his father; James Paterson, his brother, and II. B. "Windham and wife went up this morning to be present at the ceremony. The Nebraska City Evening Times, which has formerly been a ene cent pa per, yesterday increased the subscription price to 10c per week. The increase was necessitated on account of enlargeine the paper and a growth in the ammount of reading matter, but the paper is still well worth the price asked. The ' pie a sociable given by the ladies of the M. E. church at the par sonage was an enjoyable and financial success. The house was filled with peo ple, both j-oung and old and music and games made the time pass by pleasantly and the various pies, and coffee were served in an abundance to satisfy all. The proceeds of the evening amounted to an even $10, which was all profit. A change in the working time-table at the shops this morning will make the employers hustle a little more than us ual, and quite a number were late this morning. The regular working hours are now from a qnarter of seven in the morn ing till noon. The noon hour is cut down to three-quarters of an hour and work begins again at a quarter to one. and stops in the evening at half past five. Hence the change in the blowing of the shop whistle, which will hereafter blow at C:30 and 6:45 a. m. 12 and 5:30 p. m. Plattsmouth real estate as a rule is not very high, but in some cases it is quite steep. Yesterday one of our prom inent real eatate dealers was out trying to show the advantages of a lot to a customer from the upper side as it was on a hill side, but here the agent thought the lot looked steep and suggested they go below and look up, as it probably would, from there, appear better. We doubt if the appearance was bettered as from below the lot looked high, while above it looked low, and people who buy real estate want it just as low as they can get it. The Young Men's Republican Club held a meeting last night and elected the following officers: D. A. Campbell, president; Wm. Hayes, 1st vice president, Seig Green, 2nd vice president; A. B. Knotts, secretary; L. A. Newcomer, treasurer; J. N. Glenn, Wm. McCauly, O. C.

Blaine was first he receiv ing over half, Lincoln second, Sherman third and Allison fourth. Then they adjourned to meet next Friday evening at 8 o'clock in the county judge's office, and a full attendance of all members is requested. TUESDAY 8 DAILY. L. A.

They planned and gave a surprise party on her daughter, Miss Ella Clark. The house was well filled with young folks, and plc-uity of eatables were served and games were plaved to the sanis faction and pleasure of all. 1 he eminent lecturer. A. U Liearv. on phvsiolorrv and nvjriene etc.. will tnve a course of lectures in this city at Rock wood Hall, commencing on Wednesday, Nov. 0th. Dr. O' Leary has bqen lectur iug in various cities since he was here last. His lectures are made interesting from the fact that he tells his audience just what they desire to know adout the laws of health and their every day living. We acknowledge the receipt ot an invitation from Nebraska City, inviting us to be present at her jrreat celebration of the laying of the corner stone of the west abutment of the C. B. & Q. railroad KrwT rro )n-iilf nrrftao tlm TVfiQQnnri nt that point; the completion of her sys tem of water works, an official test of which will be made on that day, and otherwise commemorate her prosperity. We will trv and be represented and con gratulate our sister city on her visible improvement. The Nebraska Citv Evening Times s now a daily visitor to our tables. It is a nice six column folio, and its adver tising columns sneak well for the busi- ness men of the city. Chas. C. Hemple and wife, nee Miss Ella A. Bectisou, whose wedding at Ash land on the 19th inst. was mentioned in the Hekald. returned last evening from their wedding tour in the east, and will take up their abode in Plattsmouth Every republican in Cass county should cast his vote for Sheriff Eikenbary, His record in that office is excellent. He has been a faithful officer and has given the best satisfaction. A reelection of Mr. Eikenbary to the office of sheriff will be a commendable step on the part of the voters. The latter part of last weak burglar made a round in the neigborhood of Greenwood, entenncr the residences of John Pol lord, . Isaac Stradley, Roger Connor, and John Dreamer. At Connor,s about $400 of money and notes wastak en and at Dreamer's $247 cool cash was obtained. W. L. Tucker and wife, accompanied by their son, son-in-law? and daughter left for McPaul, lows, this morning, where to-morrow they celebrate Mr. Tuckers forty-ninth birthday, with re latives liying there. Mr. Tucker informs us he has lived in Nebraska thirty years and in the same house twenty-four years and is still satisfied with this great state Sheriff Eikenbary loaned his choice horse, "Mac",to Nelson Murray.yesterday, to ride out on Platte bottom while duck hunting. Nelson tied the horse to a tree and went off to shoot and when he returned found the horse lying dead The halter strai had become twisted around the horse's neck and choked it Mr. Eikenbary bought the horse when a rnlt. from J. A. MacMurphy, of the Herald, and prized it very much. ' wimf mip-ht have been a very seri ous disaster was a collision that took place at the Union Pacific depot in Oma ha shortly after 11 o clock yestesday Thn 11:15 dummv train had just pulled out, but stopped at the east end of the depot. Just at this time two heavy runaway flat cars, loaded with cinders crashed into the rear platform of the dummy train, completely demolish ing it, besides breaking nearly every window in that car. The coach vas comfortably filled with pa-rsengers, but fortunately no one was injured. LAW SHALL LIVE. Decision of tho United States Su- premo Coutt. Tho Law Upheld. The motion and arguments which were made Friday and Saturday before the United States supreme court at Wash ington for a writ of error in the anarchist case, of Chicago, and which were uni versally published, were all for naught. The supreme court upheld the lower courts in their decisions and opinions and tiie following dispatch from Omaha which was kindly furnished by Dr. A. Salisbury, strikes a thrill of safety, from the ravages of anarchy, to the hearts of all true Americans: "The United States Supreme Court de nied motion for writ of error in the anar chist case." The only possible hope for the anar chists now is for Gov. Otdesby, of 111., to interfere in behalf of the condemned men, and it is not at all likely lie will. The execution of the seven anarchists is now almost certain, and with them dies anaichy in America. The day set for their execution, we understand,' is November 11th 1887, which is one week from Fridrv. Observations of Mrs. Spurlock on Her Way to Syracuse, N. Y- For The IIk.hald. Leaving Plattsmouth by the way of Louisville, on the evening of the 24th (Oct.). "Wo reached" Kansas City Tues day morning, and after a few moments for refreshments, we sped on southward of the city and it seemed interminable in that direction: absolutely mountains were being removed to made way for man totoccupy. Our journey through Missouri was the romantic part of our trip. Now I know the nou-Missourian will smile, but really,' 1 am telling the truth, the towns are so ancient and historic. Hero in the days of antebellum, had lived the wealthy southern gentleman and his home was a place of jolly hospitality. When the ex chequer was depleted he had no twinge ings of conscience in thrusting onto the market another "nigger". And thus in a financial exigency, was this chattel, either in the person or a baby, a child, or parent, made the source of revenue, as our thrifty farmer does his cattle, hogs etc. now days. Aye, conscience slumber ed, lulled by the oft repeated story that bible authority was its based rock, di vinely appointed and destined to uni versality. What a change, marked traces of the new sotuh on every side. The old- time brick mansion has changed hands and the former occupant sleeps in the silent city near by. The old black man too. had cone to the land where, "de white folks set 'old shady1 free." Field and house and woodland, gay in autumnal dress, all seemed silent as the grave to me. St. Louis was reached at G:50 and we could not find comfortable standing room in the depot. People by the hun dreds crowded every available inch of room, it seemed to me; I could not tell where they were going or what they were going for. and they all seemed to be in the same blissful ignorance respecting each other. The babies screamed and the policemen were being button holed on all sides, and had they looked more pleasant should haye thought they were being lectured. . Half past eight we were again allowed to take train to Indianap olis, via Green Castle. The darkness of the night forbade us seeing the Mississippi bridge, as we so much desired: but we did cross the great bridge, and ere long. we were at Green Castle, Ind. The seat of learning, Depauw University, made more permanent by the great gift of one and a half million dollars, by Mr, Depauw. The school is far and widely known, especially to the numerous fami ly of Methodists, and needs no flurish of trumpet from me. But here I found the boy to me, of all boys well and doing well, so savs the president. But we must hasten on to Cleveland. n-lipm we take the Lake Shore road and soon behold Lake Erie, what to a child of the western, constituted a real ovation all to myself, as all tho other passengers scarcely gave it more than a passing look But here we are at Buffalo.

What glorious weather fr corn husk ing, luvery tanner you meet is hugging himself with delight, the only drawback to his happiness being the fact, that hired help is very scarce. The cold wave of the 22-24, was somewhat of a surprise; we were not ex pecting old Boreas along so early, and there were a few apples, potatoes etc., which suffered in consequence. The ladies of the Women's Home Mis sionary Society of the Christian church at this point gave a literary entertain ment and supper last Wednesday even ing which was a decided success, social ly, artistically, and financially. The lit erary programme given as a prelude to the feast, consisted ot singing, instru mental music and recitations. An ad dress of welcome was read by Miss ivatie Young, with good intonation and deliv ery. Most excellent recitations, giving token of careful preperation. and appro priate to the occasion, were given by the Misses Hattie and Nellie Holmes, Miss Annie Young, Ola Calkins, Ruth Churchill, Lucy Edmonds and Mrs. Tap ley Faught. Miss Luella Young pre sided at the organ and contributed in no small degree, to the pleasure of the evening. At the close of the literary work the tables which were groaning under their load of good, things in the wav of eatables, were thrown open to the assembled hundreds, and ajmrecia tive souads of hungry people sat down and arose satisfied. The only draw back to the evening's festivity was oc casioned by the cook stove tipping over during an early hour--nobody hurt, but some awful good coffee wasted. The ladies of tho society tell us they were ably assi.-tcd by friendly outside hands. Among those who kindly as sisted was Mrs. Win. Morrow and Mrs. Lou Moore. The receipts of the even ing were something- near thirty dollars. The Sunday School at this place have in course of preperation a Thanksgiv ing service, which gives promise of be ing a literary treat. Politics does not seem to be trobliug us much. Everybody seems satisfied witli the ticket and we have heard very little about-scratching. Carlton. Things Funnyto See. A lady get a nicer Christmas present for her lover than at O. P. Smith & Co's.

The Arensdorf Case. Sioux City, la., Nov. 1. Yesterday opened the November term of the dis trict court. During the forenoon the motion for the dismissal of Arensdorf was argued. Judge Weaver and O. C. Treadway spoke, but the state made no answer. The ground for asking the dis missal was argued a month ago to the effect that the judge erred in discharging the jury so soon. The court has taken the matter under advisement. NoDicision cn Anarchy. Washington, Nov. 1. The supreme court made no decision in the anarchist case yesterday. The chief justice an nounced that a decision would be ren dered on Wednesday or Thursday. The delay is thought to indicate noth ing more than that the court's judge ment will be set forth in more or less elaborate opinion and that the justice to whom the preperation has been as signed is not yet ready with it. It is the general and in fact about universal belief of lawyers who practice at the supreme court bar, that the petition for a writ of error will be denied, but the be lief is based only on their own views of constitutional law and the impression made upon their minds by the argument. O'Brien Taken to Prison. Dublin, Nov. 1. The appeal of Mr. Wm. O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, against the sentence of three months' im prisonment imposed on him by the Michclistown court, has been refused. On the announcement of the decision the court room was immediately in annnroar and the people clustered around O'Brien to prevent the oCicers from arresting him. A terrible struggle took place be tween O'Brien's friends and tho officers.
