CRASS WIDOWERS
A Dozen or so of Them in Platts

Wife, You Had Better Come Home
to Your Hubby.
An unmarried gentleman of leisure,
who was possessed of nn extraordinary
pleasing countenance and who, upon in
quiry, was found to be making a tour of
the country, made a visit to this great
city of ours. Although he professed to
be a mnii of leisure without any particu
lar aim in view, yet people of whom he
made many inquiries were left under the
impression that more than just the idea
of pleasure-seeking called him from town
to town. If we were to judge from his
many similar questions the cause, we
would decidedly state that he was on the
alert for the woman of his heart. Plutts-
mouth only detained him a short time
from the continuation of his tour, and
whpn he was about to leave this city he
was heard to remark :
"Of all the town?, cities or villages
ever visited by me, this city affords less
encouragement than any to a man who
has in view the same good object as
myself."
lie could not possibly hold himself long
er.and being'unable to secrete the overflow
of a wounded heart which was made sore
from deep regret of such total discourage
ment upon reaching Plattsmouth, that he
exhibited the most crest-fallen expression
every witnessed by any one. On being
questioned as to his trouble he explained:
"I am learning that the further west I
go, the worse it is for me and the more
fruitless my journey. Plattsmouth is the
termination of my route, for if more such
discouragement greets me, I will count
my journey a failure, and fall a
victim of the ridicule of the
many heartless grass-widowers your
city is possessed of. As far as I can see
wherejthe young men have not already got
the advantage, the men whose wives have
gone east, west, north and south are pay
ing attention to the widows, grass-widows,
girls young and old, making them
selves so prominent in the fiekl that a
stranger like myself is ignored by the
women whose present chances are so nu
merous. Occasionally those men I speak
of are seen driving up to the front of the
residences here in your city inviting some
one to take a drive, and I have noticed
that invariably a lady comes out to ac-'

company them. The appearance of the
grass-widowers I speak of is so marked
by a change of apparel they always look
so prim, and I also notice that they
always wear clean collars now, keep their
neckties straight, and in every way take
good care to present themselves in as
handsome attire as any young man who
goes on a flirting expedition. If they are
asked by any intimate friends who are like
ly to extend information to their wives,
if they arc made aware of facts.how grass
widerhood agrees with them, there is not
one among the crowd of iuyincibles who
will not drop his head immediately, as
j though the thought caused him a pang
j or deep feeling of loneliness, and explain
in a trembling voice: "Oh, if my wife
I would only shorten her visit and return
to me soon, what a hannv ninn T would
' i- j
be. I cannot be contented at the house
now. "When I am studying or reading,
I will suddenly look around to say a
word to her, but alas ! she is gone, and
the strongest sense of loneliness then pre
sents itself to me. I feel as though all
the friends I ever had on earth had left
ir.o, because my wife is all in this world
to me."
They will then plan their course for
another day. It is true they do not care
to remain long in the house, and they
start on an expedition each day as though
they had business in view on which some
one's lifj depended. They all seem to
forget thut this is leap year and that their
wives who are many miles away are los-
ingjno chances which the privileges of
this, their great year, affords them.
have not the slightest doubt but that the
wives of those men are flying high, flirt
ing, and saying to their gentlemen at
tendants: "That husband of mine will
never dream that you are so good and
kind to me. lie is the best husband in
the world, I am sure I can trust him. I
am probably doin; him an injustice, but
what's the odds, he will never be any the
wiser, so j-ou need not care."
Such are the thoughts of the wives
whom the husbands here are trying to
deceive. It is no more than right that
the women should be informed of this,
and a3 the Herald reaches nearly all of
them, an over-tax on postage will bo the
result or the railroad companies will reap
a harvest.

A Queer Complaint.
YrxcENsnis, Isid., July 13. Two years
ago John Pickard, a fireman on the Cairo,
Vinceunes and Chicago lUilroad, was
murdered in Mount Carmel, Wabash
County, 111., by Jacob Ward, a man from
Indiana. Ward, at the time was so
grossly intoxicated that he was scarcely
conscious of the terrible deed he had
committed. He narrowly escaped lynch
ing. At the ensuing November term of
the circuit court he was tried, found
guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to
forty eight years' of imprisonment in the
penitentiary. He is now serving his time
at Chester. Cut here the sequel to the
murder begins. Mrs. Packard, the widow
of the murdered man, by her attorney,
Judge J. R. Williams, of Carmi. 111., has
just instituted suit against two saloon I
firms charged with selling liquor to
Ward, and also against the owners o
me uuuuuigs in wincn me saloons are
situated. The damages are placed at
$10,000. Messrs. Bell and Green, o
Mount Carmel, have been retained for
denfense. The case is interesting, since
it suggests a new line of defense against
saloons for Injuries sustained.

the example. There will be more to fol

reporter was' attracted to a sight which
made his blood run cold although the
day has been very warm. We do not
know who should be blamed for tiie
cause, but however, Dr. Salisbury was
the victim. We have heard the remark
that: "It's a cold day when the flics roost
on me," but we never heard of a mouse
taking a sleeping abode on a man's hat
before. As the doctor was busily en
gaged in one corner of his room in the
blacksmith shop adjoining his office,
hammering away at his anvil and pound
ing teeth into shape which are to be used
by some of the Plattsmouth old maids,
he found no use for his hat and left it in
the office to be used by the first passer-by
as an article of amusement if so desired.
We did not wait until the doctor wished
to make use of his hat, but it is supposed
ttiat when he picked it up in a hur
ry, without noticing the mouse which
was so comfortable on its throne and
monarch of all it surveyed, that when peo
ple drew his atteniion to it he remaiked:
"It will be a cold day when the mice
roost on me again."

time before, pumped for himself. A

man is simply equaled by his native pro
pensity to lie in politics. John M. Thurs
ton happens to be a republican lawyer,
and being an employe of the U. P. It. It.
furnishes the Journal with a text to
howl about republican railroad lawyers
in politics. A prominent railroad law
yer, is Mr. Waggoner of the Missouri
l acitic, was a prominent delegate in the
St. Louis convention. A. J. Poppleton
was a prominent railroad lawyer until
a couple of n. mths ago and always took
a lively interest in politics. J. Sterling-
Morton of Otoe county, is a C. B. & Q
R. It. lawyer generally in the employ of
that corporation and was a delegate in
the St. Louis convention. John D. Howe
a prominent democratic politician of
Nebraska, is a railroad lawyer. The St.
.uouis convention contained more rail
road lawyers than the Chicago conven
tion did, which signifies nothing what
ever except to silly demagogues.
TnE declaration for the principle of
tariff protection is direct, forcible and
unequiyocal. There is no room for
doubt or quibbling. The republican
party plants itself squarely on that issue
and invites the judgment of the country.

SOMETHING OF INTEREST.
To The People of Cass and Adloin
joining Counties
I desire to s.iy a few words to the peo
ple at large in regard the breeding of
horses. Having myself, for the la.;t .'JS
years been engaged in that business, be
lieving that 1 am competent to give a
fair, unbiased opinion of the best breed
ers. I drove the stallion, Little Breeches,
who took the 1st premium at the first
fair ever held in Des Moines, la. I also
owned and bred the stallion. Cap Ty'a'lk
er, who was the first horse to take a
premium in Cass county and have always
been handling horses for breeding pur
poses. I have handled and bred Print
ers, Morgans, Copper Bottoms, Bashous,
Hamiltonians, Clydesdales, Normons and
others. I have bought and brought to
Cass county, a large number of horses
even before the B. & M. It. R. bad a rail
here and among them were a Printer
Stallion, a Copper Bottom Stallion, four
Norman Stallions, four Clydesdale Stal
lions and others and have bred all these
horses atldifferent times. I have been
on the horse market for 20 year3 and am
by this time, certainly competent to
know what horse or breed of horses will
bring the most money in this or any
other market and which are the
most valuable to t-tock
raisers.
my opinion is that the Clydesdale and
Norman are worth more money to the
breeders and it is based upon this fact
that a three year old Norman &r Clydes
dale draft horse is worth and can be sold
in market for $140 to $200 and the smal
ler horses at the same age will not pos
sibly bring over $7..
I have said this much for the benefit
of breeders and in explanation, and I
further desire to say that we have now at
our stables in Plattsmouth two Clydes
dale and one Norman horses rood clean
big breeders, and with more to follow.
both for sale and breeding purposes.
W. D. Jo.nes,
Plattsmouth, Neb., May 14th, 1888.
TnE declaration of Gen. Harrison that
"the success of the republican party has
always been identified with the glory of
the flag and the unity of the government"
is not only a shining historical truth, but
it is suggestive furthermore of the sig
nificant fact that the record of the dem
ocratic party is blackened with the guilt
and shame ot a directly contrary course.
