Mr. "Bush" Bobbins, a young man who

been an employee of the 1$. cc M. at 1 a

A partv of about ten couples has
made arrangements several times and
has made arrangements to make arrange
ments to cce what arrangements could be
made for a picnic. It was concluded,
after severeal postponements to hold it
yesterday at the fair grounds, but it
seems the jumber must be an unlucky

rain yesterday turned their anticipations
to disappointment, and the crowd at
present is quite blue. Since disappoint
ment has been a companion for so many
terms, why not congregate at the resi
dence of one of the members and have
a picnic anyway. It would be a picnic
for us to see them have a picnic, and if a
nicnic thev must have, wr.y not have a
k
picnic in this way. If we can help them
out by changing the wheathcr signals, we
will do so.
Tickets have been issued by the
Young Men's Republican Club and put
in the hands of a committee for sale,
preparations aro bcinrj made for the ban
quet which giye us every expectation for
one of the grandest events in the history
of Plattsmouth. The date U set for
July 12th, at the Waterman opera house.
Prominent speakers of the state will be
present and participate in the festivities,
among them will be John M. Thurston,
who will have in store for his audience
many glittering points from the late con
vention. Xo doubt the opera house will
be crowded to its utmost capacity and
with the encouragement that republicans
now have since the nomination of Har
rison and Morton, a rousing event w ill
surely be the result. Let all right-thinking
people come forward show that they
are on the right side and on the read to
victory, and push forth every effort - to
make the coming banquet as we predict,
a grand success.

Jedd Vance, the boy w ho had his
skull so badly fractured some time ago,
does not require constant attention now
and is able to take good care of himself
part of the time. He has gained great

broad and easy to travel. Several who

Some are under the impression that the
boy's step-father, Mr. Dickson, has con
siderable property and money in the bapk,
but such, we learn from good authority,
is not the case. Even if such a story is
true, they are only helping the poor un
fortunate boy who will be left to himself
in a short time and have no one to look
to for support. A boy in his condition,
with a hole almost three inches square in
the top of his head with no protection
but a thin portion of flesh to keep the
brain from exposure, will be in an un
comfortable condition to do any kind of
work and may need considerable assis
tance. A donation of 50 cents or so in
as charitable way can never be begrudged
surely. We are pleased to learn that so
many have contributed willingly and
cheerfully, and now since so many have
exhibited as kind a spirit, do not let any
kickers come into prominence and cast a
shadow over the good which already
looms up.
Mr. Lee Sharp, a young gentleman
who has for a number of years been em
ployed as a machinist at the B. & M.
shops here, has severed his connection
with that company within the last few
days, with the intention, as we learn, of
starting in business for himself. lie has
not yet selected a suitable location for
his shop, but as soon as he doe3 he in
tends to open a uiachine shop and pre
pare himself to do ail kinds of work in
that line. As he is a first-class machanic.
a good business man, steady, sober and
industrious, nothing but success can we
bespeak for him. He has worked steady
for a number of years, been economical
euougli to have an eye open to future
prospects, and now since it is his determ
ination to launch out in the business
world, he certainly deserves the encour
agement and support of all. We give
him credit for remaining at home and
trying to build up the city by bringing
inte it an additional industry. This gen
tleman has many friends ia the city, and
as he is willing to work, he certainly
should make his mark and come out with
a share of the yellow metal which so
many are striving to obtain. He will be
prepared tq do all k;nd of work in that
line, and all citizens who have that kind
of work to be done should patronize him
nd eiye the assistance he richly deserves.
From Monday's Daily,
Harrison will harass the democrats.
Tickets will be for sale at the B. &
M. ticket office here on the 3rd and 4th
of July, between all points not more than
two hundred miles on their line, for one
fare for round trip.
Mr. J. C. Eikenbary who left here
some time ago for Chicago, when told
this morning on his return that the rumor
had been circulated that he had been
jailed there, and when asked how he
made his escape, replied: "I told the jail
or that I wanted to get a clean shirt and
after I got out I skipped.'
It is reported the Sherman Gering
democratic delegation issued from
Plattsmouth to form a democratic club
in Weeping Water, Saturday, was more
successful in that point than they were a
few days ago when only five men and
two boys were present at their meeting.
A large number met to hear the flow of
eloquence from those two gentlemen, and
we learned that the democrats of that
place wrere quite fascinated by the ora
tors from here. They were not quite so
fortunate on their return, as they came
in contact with an obstacle which left its
mark on them and their entire outfit. As
Mr. Sherman has lost all sense of smell.
apparently, he came through all right,
enjoying the disgust cf hi3 companions.
We were not informed who the driver
was, but he hit a mark that told, and we
give him great credit. Toe obstacle we
speak of was in the form of au animal,
the presence of which is always recog
nized by a strong smell. During the day
it may have occupied the road, turning
away everything and everybody that
might chance to pas3 that way. En
couiaged by its success that far, when
the night came it still retained its posi
tion as monarch f the road. The dele
gation as they came along were well
aware that such an animal was in the im
mediate vicinity, but did not know that
when they would move, along a few
more paces that they would rest with '
still more assurance. The horses stepped
on the animal, or the wagon ran over it
causing it to use its only weapon of de
fense. The wagon which was returned
to the Bonner stables still ictains a
strong odor, and Mr. Jones, the pro
prietor, is still under the impression that
the delegation must surely have lecn
skunked at Weeping Water.
From Siiturilay's Daily.
Two young gentlemen of this city
who are experts on the tandem, made a
trip to Eight Mile Grove last night after
10 o'clock. It i9 not reported when the
return trip was made or what was tho
occasion of such a night-hawk expedition.
Nebraska City is somewhat disfigured
but still in the ring. Henry Huckins, the
editor of the 1'imcs, has been horsewhip
ped by a woman. He is congratulated
upon the fact that he has received the
jeward he so richly deserved. True
merit always draws a prize of some kind,
Lincoln Journal.
The case which had been brought
against the barbers of the Riddle Houf-c
some time ago for keeping their barker
shop open and working on Sunday, and
which had been continued on account of
the disagreement of the jury, was brought
up agaiu yesterday. Judge Sullivan was
for the prosecution and Mr. Geo. Smith,
of Omaha, for the defense. It did not
last as long as the first, and after it was
submitted to the jury they returned in
about fiye minutes, rendering a verdict
of guilty. They were fined $1 and costs,
the costs amounting to about $ 77.
The esteemed local editor of the
Journal, Mr. John King, while witness
ing a practical game of base ball 3 ester
day afternoon, and not wishing to allow
the boys to have everything their own
way, secured a ball and attempted to
give them a cricket exhibition. He made
some good points, but being out of prac
tice missed a ball which was thrown to
him and let it pass through his hands
and strike him in th.3 face, changing the
color of his eye.
Two of our Plattsmouth statesmen.
Messrs. Sherman and Gering, not Sherman
and Hiscoek, as has been reported, are
engaged in a mission of love, trying to
reform the country. They appear in their
new role at Louisville on the evening of
the 23th. From the bills, we see every
body in favor of a reduction of taiilf, or
Cleveland, are invited to be present. We
bespeak for iheni a good house, as in
our opinion, a great many citizens in
Louisville are in favor of reducing Cleve
land to priyate ranks, and we don't know
of two better apostles for that purpose
than the above statesmen.
From Friday's Daily.
There was a large attendance at the
Christian sociable la;t night at Rockwood
hall. The dudes had their dudinrs there
in flying colors, and all apparently en
joyed themselves. The sociable was
managed a little different from the usual
order, no literarj' or musical programme
being presented- The evening yas spent
by gratifying a craving for ice cream,
strawberries and other luxuries which
were served in abundance. The crowd
did not disperse until a late hour wh n
all were satisfied with their evening's en
joyment. The sociable was under the
auspices of t'(ie ladiej' society of the
Christian church.
From Thursday's Diuly.
Mrs. S. A. Davis is recovering grad
ually from the severe attack of rheuma
tism which she has been afflicted with
for some time and now there are strong
hopes entertained for her recover-.
--Mr. Daniel Burris has been quite
successful since he has started on his tour
around the city with a subscription paper
asking donations for the assistance to
Jedd Vance. So far he has received sub
scriptions to the amount of about $73.
The funeral of Mrs. Florence Keesler
took place this morning from the resi
dence of her husband, Vallery place, at
10 o'clock. Rev. Alexander conducted
the funeral service. She was buried
in the Oak Iliil cemetery, She was reach
ing the prime of life, being in her nine
eetnth year, and had only been married a
short time. We are sorry to see one so
young called away. She died of con
sumption. The Burlington Route will sell ex
cursion tickets to Crete, Neb., for the
Chatauqua Assembly at one fare for the
round trip, with 2 j cents added for ad
mission to the Assembly grounds, on June
28th, the opening day; also on June 30th
and the succeeding days Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage, America's greatest preacher will
lecture. The tickets will be good to re
turn until July 12th. A large number
have already made up their minds to go
and it is expected there will be a general
turnout from here.
The democrats are apparently taking
more interest in the convention which is
being held at Chicago than they did in
their own. No doubt the coming cam
paign will prove more enteresting still.
Even the red hot democratic organ on
the corner of Main and Sixth goes to the
trouble of securing the dispatches as
they are received here and posting them
oii a bulletin board ia front -of their
office. Mr. Sherman, it is said, admitted
that the democrats were more excited
over this convention than they were over
their owa. They know as well as we do
that a republican president will be elected
for the coming term.
On yesterday Mr. Lane, a prominent
broker of Lincoln, on behalf of himself
and property owners of said city applied
to Jmlgo Chapman, at his chambers, for
an injunc tion against the laying of a rail
road track on Ninth Street in the city of
Lincoln. It appears the county commii
sioners of Lancaster Co. contemplate lay
ing a side track from the C. B. & (-1 tracks
to the site of the new court hoiHC in Lin
coln, for the purpose of getting material
on the ground for that structure and the
owners of city property propose to know
whether the contemplate d appropriation
of the public streets of the city by the ('.
B. & Q. is a 'temporary or permanent
thing. Judge Chapman made an order
upon the commissioners and C. B. & (J.
to show cause by Tuesday of next week
why the injunction should not issue.
A young man who looked hungry
today noon as he was on his way to din
ner was approached by a man who takey
considerable interest in his welfare and
asked him what was the matter, he, think
ing him sick. The young man replied
that he had been out the night before
and slept ao late this morning that tleep
stayed with him until a late hoar and
when lie shook it off discovered the fact
He did not wish to make a break for his
boarding house or they might "break"
him up by telling him that dinner would
soon be ready. However, he took courage
and concluded to wait an hour for din
ner. The man who approached him and
asked if he wa-j sick on account of th
pale look and fallen cheeks, suspec ted
that he had had nothing to eat for somo
time and wrote out a short note to head
quarters asking them to feed him better.
