There will be a business meeting of the Christian Endeavor society, at the Presbyterian church tomorrow night. All members and those desiring to be come members are requested to be present to sign the constitution. The general predictions are that this rainy weather will continue through the month of May. If these predictions have anything to do with the continuance of such weather as we have been having the past week we would like to have people let up on predictions for a while, at least. II. II. Chillberg, agent for the Thomp sou-Houston electric light, returned last night to Omaha. The reporter failed to learn whether he had received any en couragement about electric lights from our city fathers or not, but we sincerely hope he did and that ere the summer rolls away we may have more light. T. W. Riddle returned this morning from Wahoo. He reports things very dry in that city. Although they have had plenty of rain they have had nothing but water to drink for almost two weeks. Some of the boys are be coming very thirsty but there is no show for any saloons to be opened there for several days yet. --The democrat's weather bureau pre dicted a dry spring. It seems to haye acted as a sort oi counter irritant and the clerk of the weather tipped over his rain box in spiteful resentment. The weather bureau has been sent to the barn loft and a new gasoline vapor bureau, suitable for the warm season, ordered in its place. Lincoln Democrat. An Omaha preacher wants the daily papers to have each a religious editor upon its editorial staff. There may bo in Omaha need of something of the sort, but from the observations this religious and family paper is enabled to make it ventures to suggest that a larger number of religious pastors for the churches wolnd not come entirely amiss. Lincoln Democrat. Scarcely had the city council ad journed last night when the fire company poured into the hall in tuch number? that ye reporter became excited and skip ped out. The boys looked as though they were ready to fight fire in any form, and we thinking they might take us for a fire thought it best to make ourselves scare. The boys all seemed to be iu r good humor and we have no doubt but they performed the business before them in the most business like manner. -VThc following named gentlemen are delegates from this cpunty to tne Repub lican district convention which meets at Ashlan.l tomorrow night at 8 o'clock: U. B. Windham, E. W. Barnum, Andrew Christensen, C. D. Clapn, d. A. Woosley, C. N. Baird, L. C. Eikhoff, M. Spink, J. E. Leyda, Geo. Young. II. C.Ritchie. W. H. Pool, P. Eveland, Sam'l Barker, M. B. Murphy. S. L. Furlong. It u hoped that all will attend, as thia county has interest there at stake which it cannot well afford to neglect. Tho Saunders county republicans met at Wahoo yesterday and f elected a full delegation to attend the stttc and district conventions. The delegates to the district convention, which meets at Ashland, tomorrow, are instructed to vote for Hon. FVA. Scoville, of Valpa raiso, for delegate to the national conven tion at Chicago. The rain is over, spring is hero and it is of the greatest importance to tho health of our city that the filth and rub Vish which has accumulated in the streets and alleys during the winter should be cleared away. The recent rains have so thoroughly soaked this material that de cay will begin at once and the authori ties of our town should see that it is cot permitted to lay where the health of our city will be endangered. The druggists of Nebraska met iu annual session at Lincoln yesterday at 3 o'clock p. m. It was found on assemb ling that but few of the delegates were present, but as there was double the number present required for a quorum, they immediately proceeded to business. President M. E. Shultz called the meeting to order and an address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Sawyer after which the association adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock to listen to a lecture by Prof. Nicholson, on the relation of chemical science to pharmacy. Following the the lecture, the audience was invited to take a view of university laboratory, and adjourned to meet this morning at 9 o'clock. From Tuesday's Daily. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McCoy gathered together last evening and made a surprise on' them. A very enjoyable time was had. The farmers are sending in petitions to the county commissioners for new roads, why would it not be a good plan to petition to some one for a new kind of weather these days. Memorial day is a celebration of such tendr and patriotic rememberances that the C. A. R. committees, who intend to make its observance of more than ordi nary interest, should be aided by our citi zens with liberal contributions. On Friday, the evening train on the C. B. & Q., wa9 fired into by some un known person just as it was slowing up to take water at the tank noar the Peu niugton bridge on South river. The ball entered a window glancing and struck the door; no one was hurt and no cause is known for the sheotisg. Whether it was accidental or intentional no one can tell. Iudianola Herald. From Monday' Daily, The republican convention at Weep ing Water, last Saturday enjoyed the p'casure of democratic symptoms. The dlegution from Plattsmouth that went by special train from here to Lou:sville and to Weeping Water was accompanied by ou: friend W. D. Jones a well known democrat of our city. Jones was perfectly safe in the company he was with, and it is said "under the hat" that he carried a proxy way down in his pocket from the third ward, however, Coroner Boeck was with the delegation and ready at any and all times to hold a post mortem. The solo last evening in the Metho dist church which was so well rendered by Mrs. Dean, deserves special mention through the paper. Tne piece suited her voice and the manner in which the diffi cult solo was executed showed a polish of long practice and cultivation. Her voice is powerful, but not without the musical tone which is so often unaccom panied by power. She is at present the guest of her brother, Mr. II. C. Ritchie, and we are living in hopes that she may not leave our city before another opportunity is afforded by her to the people of this city to hear another selection from her which we are sure would lie as much appreciated as that the congregation in the M. E. church had the pleasure of hearing last evening. A Dcg's A fraction. Yesterday afternoon Dan Carrig went to Atlantic and wanted to give his large St. Bernard dog the shake at the Rock Island Fifth street depot. When the train pulled out Bruno ran alongside the car until the flyer gained to much velocity, when he fell back to the train's rear. So determined was the animal to follow his master that he failed to notice the Mos quito creek bridge, but madly ran on to the structure, fell between the stringers and plunged into the water twenty-five feet below. He soa reached the shore, got into the "middle of the path'' again and flew through Weston, ten miles from Council Bluffs, at forty miles an hour. At Neola he jumped onto the platform of a caboose headed fpr Ibis city, went inside, ran under a seat and arrived in Council Bluffs in an hour and five min utes from the time of his departure. Af ter making two or three circuits of the depot St. Bernard sniffed the air and started once more for Atlantic, A tele gram from the night operator at that station states the fact that the faithful dog rejeined his master at thirty minutes after 7 o'clock.

Ceneral Ignorance. - I notice some of the newspapers are making no end of fun of a Harvard grad uate who could not tell who discovered America. Oh, well, my son, that is one of the things 3"ou don't learn in college, I am like the Harvard graduate; I do not know who discovered America. If you know, or think you know a man who dees know, I wish you would tell me. I would give some money to learn just that much. I am always away down in the spelling-class. I cannot spell Shaikspear as Shakepere himself spelled it. I wish you would tell me the proper way of spelling that great man's name. I do not know why there arc so ucany gray horses and no gray colts. I can't understand why we can't find the North Pole when we know right where it is. I don't know why a man wears buttons on the tail of his coat. I can't see what earthly use an elephant's tail is to him. I don't understand why people in town are always wild to go to the country, and people in the country are crazy to come to town. Why don't they change places at once and be done with it? I do wish I could somewhere hear a wise man who would devote a few hours every century to teaching me a few sim ple things that everybody ougth to know, and that eyer3Tbody, except myself, seems to know already. Robert J. Burdette. Council Meeting- . Council met last night at 8:30, called to order by the mayor; couneilmen all present. The clerk then stated the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of grant ing license to sell malt, spiritous and vinous liquors in the city of Plattsmouth to Hans Frahn and Herman Klutch. The eonimittee on license having exam inied the petition and bond of the ap plecants for license, found that they had complied with the law in every respect, and therefore reported favorably on the petition and bend. It was then moved and seconded that the bond be approved which was carried unanimously. Also moved and seconded that the mayor and clerk be instructed to issue license to said parties upon presentation of the necessary receipt from the city treasurer, that the amount of the license money had been paid. There being no further business the council adjourned until the next regular meeting. Those Soldier Craves. The O. A.

These are evidences that the sys tem is trying to purge itself of impurities, and that it needs the powerful aid which is afforded by" the Use of Ayer'u Saraspa rilla. 1 Wukn Mr. Ingalls ja ItU last cp'-cch in sinuated tht Mr. Voorhees was either a member of the Knights of the Golden. Circle during the war. or was in confi dential communication with tho officers of that treasonable) organization, Mr. Voorhecs used one of his forcible argu ments and exclaimed: "The senator is a liar." When this keen and cutting argu ment had been used, Mr. Ingalls return ed calmly to the attack end charged that at the time Gen. Hancock was at tho famous bloody angle, there was found in the office of Mr. Voorhees 112 copies of the ritual of tho Knights of the Golden Circle. To ayoid the force of this blow Mr. Voorheet said that when thoso pa pers were found iu his ollice it was not occupied by him. But Mr. Ingalls was loaded for the occasion, and as if ex pecting some dodge ef this sort on Mr. Voorhees' part, enumerated it long lit of private papers, the property of Mr. Voor hees, found in the desk containing these 112 rituals. Part of this list, tuken from the Congressional Heron I, is giyeu be fore. When the list is pursued no one will wonder that the Tull Sycamore writhed in torture and completely lost his self control when the senator from Kansas so exposed his treasonable record. Mr. Ingalls, reading, stud : Your law library and office furuituro were in the office here "these papers" were found. You had declined renoiuination for congress and the olfieo was not for rent as late as April, lbfil. The ritual had been issued iu the aut umn of 1bG3. Your congressional elve u ments were in the office where "these pa pers" were found. Your speeches, up to March, of your entire congressional career, with "John Brown" speech, were in the ollice whero , "these papers" were found. The correspondence of Senator Wall of New Jersey, under his frank, indors ing a proposition to furnish you with 20, 000 stand of Garibaldi rifles, just imported "for which he could vouch," was in the office where "these papers" were found. The correspondence of C. L. Vallan digham, from Windsor, Canada West, as-uring you "our people will fight," iiuel that "he is ready," and fixing a point on the "Lima road" at "which to meet you," was in the office where "these papers" were founel. The corresdondencc of Joseph Ristine, auditor of state, declaring that "he would like to see all democrats unite in a bold and open resistance to all- attempts to keep ours a united people by fwrte ef steel;" and that "this was a war against democracy, and our oidy hope was it t uc-cr-saful resistance of the Kouth," was ia the office where "these papers" were found. The correspondence of F. C. Hibben. who assures you that "the democracy are fat stiffening up when this war is to be openly declared us being waged for t lie porpose of freeing the negro, v "which will arouse another section of the country to arms," and dec-luring "that Lincoln bayonets urc shouldered for cold blooded murder," was in the office where "these papers'' were found. The correspondence of J. Ilardcety, w ho "want you to have that one hun dred thousand men ready, as we do not know how soon we may need them," was in the office where "this ritual" was found. The correspondence of J. J. Bingham, who asks you "if you think the south has resources enough to keep the union forces at bay," and says that "you must have sources of information which he has not" was in the office where "these papers" w;re found. The correspondence of John G. Davis informing you that a certain New York Journal is wonderfully exerc-istd about the secret anti-war movements" and "tremble in their boots in view of the terrible reaction is sure to await fhtin" was in the office where "these papers" were f onnd. The correspondence of U. S. Walker, who "keeps out of the way" because they a:e trying to arrest him for officiating in secret societies, inclosing the oath of the K. G. Cs , prior to that of tho O. A. Iv. was in the office where "these papers" w re found. The petition of C. L. Vallandigham, D. W. Voorhees and Benjamin Wood in favor of two republics and a united south, was in tho office whero "thefce pa pers" were found. This list hints at a number of things which Mr. Ingalls fully explained in his speech that make up a recrd of which no man can be proud. Mr. Voorhees may have repented, but with such a re cord it was surely not policy, to say the least, for him to attempt to besmirch the character of one against whom nothing could be alleged further than that he did not bear arms against the enemies of hi3 country.
