of things.
We understand that during the ab
sence of Supt. Thompson in Europe, Mr.
Rignell, formerly ot this place, assumes
the vacant position, and that Mr. J. S.
Peter, of the engineering department,
acts as assistant superintendent at Aurora.
When the reporter approaches many
of the citizens of Plattsmouth and asks
for a news item occasionally he is sur
prised when he receives the startling in
formation: "It's a hot day.'' It's a cold
day when we don't know it ourselves.
We thank Mr. Chas. Sherman, son of
the proprietor of our local contemporary,
for his assistance in the office today. He
came in this morning and after inform
ing us that they were not very busy in
his father's office, took off his coat, pick

The Nebraska City 1'imes, an even
ing paper of that city, which has been
issued as a daily for about three 3-eurs
and a half, will, next Saturday, discon
tinue its publication as a daily, and in
the future will only appear as a weekly,
the reason being that it is not profitable
to run a daily paper in a weekly city.
Men are at work in the B. & M. shops
it this place on the booms for two large
derrick cars. These when completed will
easily lift a heavily loaded freight cai
from the ground and place it on a flat
car. One was built some three years ago
and has proved itself exceeding useful.
The increase of mileage renders others
necessary.
We understand that the B. & M.
management have recently contracted
for eight chair cars and a number of com
bination baggage and mail cars. The
shops at this point are very busy at this
time, yet it is doubtless true that some of
the aboye would have been constructed
here but for the late labor troubles.
Plattsmouth has lost more by the strike
than appears on the surface.
Mr. J. C. Eikcnbary arrested two
men yesterday, this being the second
time he arrested the samo parties. He
foundjthem hanging around the yards,and
after lodging them in Plattsmouth castle
for a night, let.thein out with the agree
ment that they should leave the city at
once. They put in an appearance again
yesterday and were arrested a second time
by him, this time holding them on a
charge of vagrancy.

The Christian Endeavor society is
holding a picnic today on "Fitz's Forty."
As the society has grown to be a large
one, the members with their friends will
make a large crowd, and it is expected
that the party had a grand time.
Dr. Schildkneeht has a new buggy
which he purchased of a firm in Chicago
and which he has iust received. I lie

A s'ght which was seen en the Main
street a few evenings ago nearly pro
voked many of the citizens to sound the
fire alarm. A man, whom we should
take to be well up in years, judging by
his tardy pace, was the. victim which
caused the excitement. Some of his
friends, who never had the pleasure of
seeing him iu a hurry, except in a Dutch
argument, adopted, a scheme similar to
the one worked on balky horses by build
ing a fire under them. Instead of doing
that, some of them touched a match to
the straw stack which was located on
top of his cranium, which suddenly start
ed a blaze that alarmed some of the
spectators, and it is needless to say start
ed the man along faster than he or any
of his friends ever remembered of seeing
him go before. It it had not been for
the assistance of his friends, who re
moved the burning fibres from his head,
it might have been necessary te turn
a hose on him.
The publication of a love story yes
terday was the first of a series, another
one, of a different character, and not as
spicy with business is, liable to appear
within a few days. A prominent young
man who is directly interested in the next
publication, became excited yesterday
when he noticed a local drawing the at
tention of readers to a love story on the
first page, he thinking his time had come
and turned the paper over in a hurry.
In due season this second love story we
speakjof will appear and we'are sure it will
prove sensational, more so than any pre
vious one ever written concerning Platts
mouth. The dark complexioned young
man, with a smooth face and a manly
physique, and the young lady with the
pearly teeth, laughing eyes and auburn
tresses, will be the principal characters in
the story. For reasons better known to
the reporter, he is at present, muni.
The wedding has already taken place
even several evenings ago and the di
rectly interested parties are smiling over
their satisfaction of winning a bet.
From Monday's Daily.
A switchman working in the yards
at Pacific Junction yesterday met with a
severe accident while stepping on a step
attached to a locomotive while the loco

aid, and found that his right leg had
been crushed so badly that amputation
was necessary, and the limb was severed
near the knee.

severely kicked in the face by a horse,
last Sunday. She went to tho stable
with a horse blanket over her head while
it was raining, and was taking it there
with the intention of throwing it over
the horse. As soon as she entered and
the horse saw the blanket, it commenced
kicking, stricking her in the face. Dr.
T. 1. Livingston attended her and re
ported yesterday that she was still un
conscious. She narrowly escaped being
kicked to death, as she fell near the
horse's feet. The girl is about 0 years

From Thursday's Daily.
The local editor of the Journal
drew the attention of the public to the
fact, a few days ago, that the city coun
cil of Nebraska City had passed an ordi
nance naming their streets, starting from
the distillery. It is supposed the local
man caught on to the item while at the
starting point.
A piano and reed instrument com
bined, which is operated in the same style
as a grind organ, was heard in the city
yesterday. It was manufactured in
Germany at the cost of about $t300 aud

every day but is a little louder. The in
strument will play sixteen pieces, and the
music is very fine.

Mr. W. P. Kec-ler returned this
morning from Iowa City where lie was
called as a witness before the board of re
gents in a case against the state universi
ty. The case is an extensiye one and
reaches from the commencement of the
college exercises to the present date, a
number of deaths haying occurred mys
teriously there during that time. Mr.
Keeler had a brother die about a year
ago while attending the college.
The St. Andrew's Brotherhood, a so
ciety of young men connected with the
Episcopal church, have just completed a
new and unique fence around the church
property at the corner of Third and Vine
streets. The fence is made of old rlues
taken from the B. & M. locomotives
when no longer fit for use there, and the
posts are of the best oak. It is nice
ly painted and altogether is an ornament
to the property and a credit to the young
men who erected it.
Con-iderable excitement prevailed
at Glenwood last night when it was dis
covered that one of the finest buildings
in the town, belonging to Hardman &
Ashby, was on fire. The entire stock of
groceries which occupied the lower part
of the building, was completely demol
ished. The cause of the fire is unl nown,
but it was supposed to have, originated
at the bottom of theVlevator shaft. The
stock and building were pretty well cov
ered by insurance, but the material in the
offices above the store, which was all
burned, was not insured. The building
has only been erected about two years
and was a very handsome structure. Wo
could not learn tho loss. Glenwood u
almost helpless in case of fires and they
have nothing but a small hand engine
for protection. Even in this ease, if they
had every fire advantage, it is thought
the building could not have been
saved, as the oils in the store exploded
and gave the lire ever advantage. A
telephone message was received here
by some members of the fire department
to hold themselves in readiness to render
assistance as they might be culled on at
anv minute. The fire started about 10
j
o'clock.
An Uncalled-for Assertion.
From Friday's Daily.
We do not find much satisfaction in
filling up space in battle aga'nst tho pa
per at the lower extremity of this street,
but when they make such false and un
callcd-for statements as they arc some
times in the habit of doing, we
are
obliged to hold our own and show
me
public that every article which is publish
ed in this naner is correct, and wc are
always ready to stand by what we say
Last Tuesday's Journal took the troll
ble to publish a false statement to the
extent of half a column, stating that we
were rushing to the defense of Mr. Harris.
which statement is false. We rush to de
feud no one, but gather what news we
can. and publish what we know to be
correct, only.
The following few lines which were
clipped from the article published by
them, could be taken home and be as fitly
applied as possible by making the change
of LIekald to Journal :
"Any assertion that the Hekai.p may
make either as news, defamation or poll
tics, must be taken with allowance a
least."
Through, malice, the local reporter of
the Journal has made these false state
uients against Mr. Harris, and a petition
was also circulated by which they propos
ed to remove him from the police force,
They succeeded in securing half a dozen
names, which the council would not rcc
ognize.
Mr. Harris circulated a petition yester
day and secured a large number of the
names of prominent business men and
4.
citizens, and l;e will still wear his police
badge, no matter what work the Journal
may do.
If the news grinder of the squib-mill
would go to head quarters and find out
the truth ot tho Harris trouble, as we have
done, such erroneous statements as are
published in ihat paper ;.yo'dd not appear.
When the reporter of this'paper heard of
the trouble between Mr. Harris and the
man working under him, he asked Mr.
Ballou what it all meant and who was in
the wrong. He stated that Mr. Harris
was only acting according to his direction
and that he intended j.o pack him ?p in
whatever he had dene. This statement
was made to our reporter by Mr. Ba'lou,
and if the squib manufacturer of the
Journal will iniervie'.v him, It3 vh hear
the same statement.
Mr. Sherman said that he knew noth
ing of the statement 'made against Mr.
Harris before its publication, and that
the proper thing f'.;r the reporter to have
done would have been to interview Mr.
Ballou and ascertained the truth of the
whole trouble.
We are not making any defense by
these statements for any one but ourselyes,
just wishing to bring ourselves honestly
before the public and show that we are
always ready and willing to prove what
ever assertions are made by us. All we
ask of the Journal is that they may fol
low the god example 9et them and we
trust that such lies may not again appear
in print as they have recently given pub
lication to.

A GOOD MOVE,
Seven Striking Encinoors go to
Work Horo Today and Flvo Moro
Will Follow Tomorrow.
Men nt Lincoln and McCook Start
to Work Today
Tho Strike Should bo Declared off.
Kiom Wednesday' D;l!y.
About three weeks ago a petition win
asscd among the strikers which
. !
was signed ly some ami ig
nored by other-. Since then
this move has been until ip.iU-d by every
body. The men who have gone to woik
looked ut the situation from a sensible
standpoint and have secured a small
chance for themselves while, if they had
remained as strikers much longer, their
chance of gaining employment on the
road at all would have been as one is to
a thousand. The boys, for their own in
tirest, should declare the strike off, for
as long as they remain as strikers, lajing
idle and drawing money from the pock
ets of those who are working hard every
day for a subsistance and some who have
large families to support, the nioie inter
est they lose each day. They must
surely see, as plain lis though printed in
letters as largo as a house that to get
their positions again offered to them on
the C, B. fc Q. is an impossibility. As
it is, those men who go back are obliged
to work their way up and wait for an
occasional .chance which may be left
vacant by men now working
on the road. Some of the men who
started to work today are working in the
machine shop and round house. The
new men on the road will even hayo tho
perfcrencc in any promotions.
The longer the strikers hold out in (lii.s
tight, the more sympathy they arc sun!
to lose, and especially from the brother
hood men who are working on other
roads. Since they have jr-en for so long
a time that their chances are lost, why
not come out like men and say they hayo
lost it. Then they would receive sympa
thy from every one, but the longer they
remain in the light now, the more, blood
they lose and the weaker they make the
organization to which they belong.
Why not do something for yourscl yes
while there is a possible chance.- left open.
Men have gone to work today at Lincoln
and McCook. There will be twelye of
the strikers go to work he-re tomorrow.
