The base ball boys are having a neat fence put around their ball grounds and propose to have some fine ball playing done this summer.

Jacob Lemon, of Greenwood, has been over in Iowa the past week and re turned yesterday with two span ol as fine horses at we ever saw, one pair are sorrel and the other a beautiful gray, they arc all three year olds. They were at Jones' livery barn today and every bedy that saw them were heard to say "what beau ties," "I would like to own one of those teams.'" Mr. Lemon is justly proud of them. Last night at the meeting of the council Mr. Murphy made a motion that a special committee be appointed to in vestigate the cost of a lot and building for a new city hall and immediate action be taken in this matter of building a council chamber, hose house and city jail combined. This motion met with a hearty approval from every member of the council and we are glad to see such earnestness manifested in this mutter. There is nothing a city the size of Platts moulh needs more than such a building and we bono that the matter will be , . pushed until a building of this kind is secured and the city be saved of paying rent for halls and such other expenses as this would save. The building and everything complete n?ed not cost over ten thousand dollars, and this would give a building which the city need not be ashamed of. Why not build a city hall at once? From Monday's Daily, Mrs. O. M. Streight left this morning for a few weeks yisit with relatives, at Lamont, Iowa. Lemuel Knotts, of Council Bluffs, ar rived in the city Saturday night to visit with relatives. Capt. Foley of Omaha, was in the city yesterday the guest of Capt. Donneyhey of the Pinkerton force.

I. Peterson and Emma S. Gustofen, both of this county. Mr. Sherwood is fixing up bin store and making the necessary arrangements for Mr. Gar.lt to move his stork of jewel ry in with him. - Frank Carruth is arranging his store for Hf- Ponnelly, late of the firm of F. Hermann & Co., Id 4ut in a new stock of gents furnishing goods. Mr. Frederick Rosenbrook, of Fre mont, Nebraska, and Miss Auri'la B. Thraiher, of t'iatjjsnioutl. were united in marriage, by Rev, J, T. Raird, May 27th, 1339, at the home of the bride. John Marshall, who haa for the past nine months been conuccted with The Herald, leaves this evening for Council Bluffs. Mr. MajiLfcJJ is aji exemplary young imin and a good prime ti.d 77? heartily wish him buccess wherever he goes. j-Wo have been informed by persons in a position io know, ahat at least two thirds of the corn planted during the first part of the month Tvijl have to be replanted. This is due to the cold wet weather rotting the corn before it could sprout. It leaves many of the farmers in a rather bad shape as they are late with their crops any way and bow to be com pelled to replant what they have already planted makes it much worse and in fact looks a little discouraging. The Kansas City trains were consid erably delayed yesterday on account of large washouts on each side of St. Jose ph, caused by the heavy rains of Inst Satur day. We are informed that about two miles of track is washed out on this side of St. Joseph and about 2.000 feet on the other side. The trains from Kansas City are run around by Crest on, Iowa, and up on the main line of the C. B. & Q. to Pa cific Junction, making quite around about roid and delaying the trains for several hours. We have received a pamwhlet from the Wabash and Western Railroad Co. announcing the Twenty-fifth National festival of the North American Su-nger-bund to be held in 6t. Louis June 1:5th to Kith. $."0,000 have been guaranteed by the people of St. Louis for the enter tainment of those who will be in attend ance at this grandest of all musical gath erings. The best musical talent of North America will be in attendance and any lover of good music can hardly afford to miss this meeting of the great est of musicians. The Wabash fc Western Railroad will sell ticket at one fare for the round trip. We are in receipt of a souvenir of the National Democratic convention at St. Louis June 5th, containing portraits of distinguished. Democratic statesmen and Cleveland, both living and dead, is sued by the passenger department of the Wabash and AVestern railroad. The por traits are all good, but it is rather a mys tery to us why they wanted to put in por traits of the dead, well knowing that the St. Louis convention would be the funeral of the entire Democratic party and that thereafter all distinguished Democratic statesmen would be classed among the dead. The Wabash and Western railroad will sell tickets to the National Demo cratic funeral at one fare for the round trip. This will perhaps be the largest funeral ever held in the United States and all who desire to have the honor attend ing such a funeral should avail them selves of this excellent opportunity. From Saturday's Daily. Marriage license was issued today to Fred Rosenbrook of Fremont, Neb., and Miss Aurilla Bell Thrasher of this city. - Last night the police found a crowd of men on the streets and on investi gation found that they were gathered around a man who had been knocked senseless. Picking the man up to take him home he let his cane fall to the ground and some one picked it up and ran up behind the police and struck the wounded man on the head with the po liceman's cane. The policeman attempt ed to arrest the slugger, but could not leave his wounded man long enough to catch him and before the other pobce could get there the villiau had got away and could not be found. One of the school ma'ams of the high school yesterday after closing the long and tedious exercises there which fell to her lot, thinking her authoritati ve opportunities would be at an end for some time, resolved to make a last grand effort to close up the day with a little sport, and endeavoring to gratif the high spirit which she was then endowed with, succeeded. But unfortunately for her, she selected a wrong object for her amusement a deer belonging to a medi pa gentleman in the city which had not been accustomed to the pats and slaps of a school ma'am. She succeeded in gently tapping the little fellow a few timed which was quite agreeable to the deer, but when she thought that would be her last opportunity to slap, she was not contented in being so lenieqt with it and drepptid op the full power of school teacher. This the deer, not being accustomed to, could not tolerate, which the teacher soon understood judging by the swift move she made down street followed bvMr. deer screaming for "dear Kfe." Prof. Drummond of the high school, entered our office this morning appear inr to be in a somewhat excited condi tion as though he had been closely pur sued by some unknown persons. Upon being questioned by us, he explained that he had not yet fully recoved from a shock which he had unexpectedly re ceived yesterday at his school room, ex plaining that he thought he had good, substantialevidenee for a case'of "assault and battery." To satisfy our curiosity we endeavored to pry into the nature of hi case, but we could obtain no infor mation from itim farther than that he could "picture a frame of guilt" on the party who had committed the assault $ad battery, and said that he intended to push the case f.p the frill extent of the law, and in this way prove himself a "teacher." He extends his sincere thanks to the teacher of the high school for the manner in which they conducted them selves. The life-size cravon picture of his little girl was the cause of the whole .iroupe. $10,000 private funds to loan on farms at straight eight per cent, w4 W. S. Wise. A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE- Police Find tho Window of a Bank Open and are Afraid to Make an Investigation. Call for the Pinkerton to Help Catch the Intruder. From Saturday' Dally. Great excitement prevailed among the city police this morning about 8 o'clock when one of them on his regular beat fonnd the window of the Cass County Bank open, and thinking th'-re- must be ?om? one robbing the bank, he summon ed the rest of the police to his assUtaiuv. all stood around at a safe distance waiting for the burglars to appear. But lie failed to appear in a reasonable time and it was decided to invade upon him and sent a man down to the yards after the Pinkerton police who came up to as sist in capturing the supposed terrible bank robbers. On the arrival of the Pink erton force it was decided to send for Mr. Patterson, cashier of the bank, but as none of the city police were brave enough to go alone they concluded to dispense with that arrangement and pro ceeded to put one of the police in at the window to make the investigation. But when he got in he was afraid to make the search and one of the Pinkeitons had to get in with his lantern to help make it. The search was make but no burg lars were found and the police dispersed feeling glad that there had been no one found to scare them out of their wits. But while they were yet gathered round the bank a strange gentleman came along and of course after such great excitement as had just been gone through with, a s'ranger at that hour of the night was n very suspicious character, and he was hailed on the streets to give an account of himself which ho did by saying he had been to see his best girl which certainly accounted for the lateness of the hour of his passing along the street, otherwise he would have been pulled, we suppose, for attempting to rob the bank. But. to return to the subject, it seems an outrage to a city of eight thousand inhabitants to have a police force that are afraid to attempt to arrest a supposed bank robber Suppose the Pinkerton men had not been here, we suppose they would have walked off without attempting to find out wheth er anyone was in the bank or not. Sucl cowardice is an outrage and if such work as this is going to be done it would be well to fire the whole outfit and hire some ten year old boys, as we doubt if there is a boy in the city of that age who would have thought of being afraid of making such an attempt. Fire these fellows and get men who are not afraid to make an arrest and not have our city disgraced any more by such a display of cowardice Front Thursday's Daily. Last night Jos. McFarland one of the striking switchmen after becoming intoxicated went down to the switch yards and attempted to jump on engine G9 and missing his foothold and catch ing with Ins hands lie was dragged about sevenry-nve icct. Jie tnen made anoinr r effort and got upon the foot board and rode up to the first switch shanty north of the depot where he said he had an order from head quarters for the boys all to quit work. The boys seeing his con dition and fearing he would get hurt in the yards pursuaded him off up town where they got some cf the boys to t;ikc care of him. From Friday's Daily. The constable of Avoca arrived in town this morning with two nun who were arrested at that place for assiut on the station agent, by throwing rocks at him and other depredation. The men were given ten days apiece in the county jail. A perfect representation of Sherman's march to the sea is the title of a cartoon that culminates the north end of the depot It seems to us that the city authorities should look into this matter and have the author of it arrested for the circula tion of obscene literature. Its a perfect picture of the editor of the Journal. On the night of the 23 inst. some tramps assaulted a brakeman on the M. P., oetween Avoca and Weeping Water and knocked the brakeman of the top of a car with a rock. The brakeman was picked up next morning for dead but at last reports it is thought he will.recover. The purpetrators of the deed have not yet been herd of. In 1872 Frank Carruth issued some $3 advertising checks on wlr'ch was printed; Any one buying five or more dollars worth of goods at once were en titled to a discount of 5 per cent. The other day he received one of these checks with a letter, from a lady in Indiana ask ing him to redeem the check. We think it nothing more than right that Mr. Car ruth should redeem the check, by send ing the lady the three dollars. Hon. Thos. E. Hill, author of "Hill s Manual of Social and Business Forms," has just issued another book entitled, "Hill's Album of B'ography and Art." It is an elegant and valuable book, aud is one that every family should haye. The book is sold on the installment plan so that evarybody can get one and not miss what it" costs.
