G., in its annual encampment at that place next week. About 75 employes of the paint and carpenter shops have said that it was their intention to participate in the grand rally which i to take place at Glen wood tonight. Several democrats have also stated they intend to accompany them. They feel that they are sadly in need of a little good advice from their friends, the republicans. mrMi lullivlp in stock a line of- Sense Corsets and Childrens' sizes. - Special - Attention fine line of nice line of and Congress Shoes quality at The Y. M. C. A. will hold their con ference in this city en Friday, Saturday and Sunday of next week. Delegates from Pawnee City, Nebraska City, Weep ing Water, Omalia, Blair, Auburn, Te cumseli, Fall City and Rule are expected. The association would be pleased to hear from any Christians or sympathizers of this city who are willing to receive any of the delegates and allow them the privilege of billeting them. This will greatly assist the society and it U hoped the people will afford it that encourage ment. Mr. Latham, ticket agent for the B. & M. h ere, ha3 secured two coaches for the republican club to convey its mem bers to Glenwood tonight. He realized considerable trouble in securing them but he has at last succeeded and it is hoped the two coaches will afford accommoda tion for all who wish to participate in the rally tonight. About one hundred and fifty have already signified their in tention of going and it is expected that many republicans who are not members of the club will go and nlso a few demo crats who will be allowed to &o &nd see how the republicans do things up jn grand shape. It is expected that the cars will be crowded and a more enthusiastic time than was oyer known before this vicinity as the result. in At a meeting of the republican club last night considerable interest and en thusiasm was manifested in the rally which is to take place at Glenwood to night, and a subscription was taken up among the members present for the pur pose oi securing one nunured tcit-uea ' for the occasion. Mr. Walt Thomas was appointed as a committee of one to go to Omaha and secure the lamps. He left for Omaha this mornicg on the flyer and returned at 10:30 w ith the required nunv ber. Before train time this evenin" the whole company wi?l inarch on Main street attired in linen dusters and plug hats. Everybody turn out and see a graud sight, The Jl, & M. band and G. A. R. drum corps will head ths proces sion. The rubbish wheelers who are em ployed in haul'ng refuse from the can ning factories have formed a habit ef late of dumping all such rubbish in the river just above the B. & M. depot. A large portion of the filth cau still bo seen along the shore as the current at that point is not .strong enough to carry it away. Some time ago notices were tack ed up prohibiting any parties from de positing such stuff there, but they have a - iisappetrcd in some way and these par-1 ties are now dumping all kinds of dirt into the river where it will soon cause a very disagreeable odor and originate fev er germs. The authorities 'should look into this matter and have it stopped be fore it is too late to reme'dy it. The filth that in allowed to be deposited on the different streets and in some places where people cannot help but inhale the disa greeable odor from it, is certainly strong enough to invite yellow fever or cholera where it would reap a rich harvest. A lady by the name of Mrs. Badgely who was employed in the Plattsmouth canning factory, met witn a very painful accident this morning. At one side of the factory a long table reaches to each e'ld of the building which is used for holding the corn as it is received at the factory. Along side of thisis a narrow box in which an endless chain runs the whole leigth. The women who are employed in husking stand by the side of this box and throw tli3 husks into it as they are taken from the corn, and they are carried out of the building on the chain. This morning while Mrs. Badgely was engaged at this work, she dropped her husking stick into the box and tried to reach it. Her hand was caught in the chain and drawn along until it came in contact with a cross piece which was nailed to the top of the box. She could not pull her hand from the chain and when her arm came in contact with the cross-bar, it brake immediately above the wrist. ; Her arm was badiy bruised as well as broken. She was taken to I?" Liying- ston s office where Dr. R. R. Livingston, jr., attended to the injury. Mr. C. R. Simmons on the West. Mr. C. R. Simmon, a former employe of Kccfer's harness shop here, who left the city about three months ago for Wy oming Territory, returned a couple of days ago. If we are to accept his advice, Horace Greely's advice of a few years ago cannot be justified, as his experiences during hid western trip were not the most frvorable. Since his departure he has been at Ogden, Salt Lake City and other principal cities of the west, but not west Salt Lake. His brightest anticipations which were entertained should he con tinue his journey to Wyoming territory were dashed to the ground when he ' learned that men were returning from there in no small numbers and that all their reports of the situation at that place were most unfavorable. The general re port from tiiera ;vas that there were about ten men in Wyoming territory waiting on one position. It was a good enough country and they all would like it if there could possibly be a chance for a situation of any kiud. Young men who have gone west to grow up with the country, think that the encouragement they receive there stints rather than nourishes growth; and the majority of them who were unfortunate enough to have money only for a single trip, do not think the west is the most desirable part of the country to be without friends or money and without a siiuatjop and think that their chances are better in the east it wages are lower. The many young men who are leaving good situations in the east and continually going west with only a single trip ticket in their pockets, are almost invariably clisap pointetl and are nearly always left in a bad situation w ith no chance for a return trip and equally as poor a one for even making a living. Mr. S. says that Chey enne, during his stay there, was as drill on business days as he has ever known Plattsmouth to be on Sunday, and that business niei there at present have little encouragement. A3 Cheyenne ispneof the western towns which has been boast ed of considerable iu the past, it can be given as an illustration of the titua tion in that locality at present. He says that Plattsmouth, ps dull as it is at pres ent, can faypyeAAy be compared with any western tow n of its si sometimes larger ones. Mechanics of other trade, might find more encouragement than harness makers, but as near as we can remeiiibe Mr, Simmons could not speak a word in favor of the grea wet, the land where the many diVfeatisfied eastern people journey expecting to find a Canaan where they can get rich in a day. The young men of the east who receive $10, and $ lo per week and consider it fair pv. can and generally do have more money at the esil cf fhe year than the young men out west " who ;e-eiTe sometimes $18 to $25 per week. Tourists from here who go south speak favorably of the looks of things in that direction cs the young wen seeking em ployment generally go west. Platts mouth, although it is seldom spoken favorably of by young men who are liv ing here, is far in advance of many places of its size and that report is often given by ihe young fellows who leave here be cause they believe ihelr wages here are much smaller than they would receive other places. Young, old, and middle aged, all ex perience the wondertully beneficial ef fects of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

From Tuesday's Daily. Mr. James Autill still spells August with an R Augurst. Oysters, tf Four of Mr. E. R. Todd's boys, who are down with the fever, are repeJu.-d improving today. The Sioux Falls granito which is to constitute the pavement, has arrived and is being distributed along the street. The grading will be commenced immediately. Mr. John Lupt, an aged farmer who lived with his son, Jake Lupt, about six miles northwest of the city, tlied last Sunday and was buried today. He has been sick since the first of last May and has been disabled since. He was nearly 72 years of age. A republican yesterday got into a little scrap because he would not bet on Harrison. II; hit his man and the Judge fined him $5 and costs, amounting to $10.05. Moral He lost his money; had he bet he would have got good safe re turns after the election. Clarance Forbs, the boy who came near losing a good portion of his ear by being run over a short time ago, and was fortunate enough to still retain it by the assistance of Dr. Schildknecht, who promptly sewed it on when nearly sever ed from his head, put in an appearance on the streets this morning apparently in a first-class condition. He also received other injuries ibout his head and body, which still remind him. of the accident occasionally, Miss May Cross, of Hillesdale, Iowa. who is visiting :vitkthe fan,I1y f Eli Sampson, west of the city, met w,t a very painful accident last eyening. She accompanied her friends to the city in the afternoon, and after they were about ready to return home, the horses and kuggy were brought out from a shed be tween the American Exchange and the B. & M. track, and when all were seated and as they were driving out to the road the buggy run against.the bank, throwing Miss Cross to the ground. Her elress was caught on the seat in her fall and she pulled it after her, which struck her a sever blow on the right hip. The in jury although not dangerous, was quite se vere, and she wijl be confined to her room for some time on account of it. Dr. R. R. Livingston, jr., attended to her injuries. Mr. Porter Foster, a sw itchman iu the yards, while in the act of coupling some cars last night, heard some strange voices in the vicinity and for some time could not ascertain from w hat source the sountl came until he unlocked a box car which was partially filled with lumber and dis covered three boys, about twelve years of age. Two of the boys were white and one was a little colored fellow who showed signs of tight when he was com pelled to leave the car. One of them was provided with a boot-black outfit and the other two had no particular pro fession, but it is supposed they were all shiners. The boys said they had come from Council Bluffs and were on their way to St. Joe. They had been in the car for more than a day without any pro visions, and as the car was sealed, if Mr. Foster had not hearel their noise when he did, in all probability they would not have been discovered until too late. From Saturday's Daily. Hail stones rained supreme fast night The elements were on a strike last night, judging by the force stones were thrown at us. Mr. C. G. Fitzgerald and Miss Hattie II. Hall, were united in marriage last evening by Judge Russell. The hail stones which fell last night were ap large as the largest walnuts. It is thought the sj.0rm must have done con siderable damage to' the corn crop. The switchmen working in the yards last night thought they were in for it again when the hail stones started to drop. it is reported they pulled their guns. The iceman's trade will be limited today a ce cr two of the hail stones picked up last night can be iaue to last as long as the chunks of ice generally broken off for the customers. --Flo anel Jennie Taite entertained a pariy of liftle friends on the afternoon of the tfth, the 'occasion of their birthday. They received some very hand3ome pre sents. There were thirty of their little friends present and a good time was had by all. Mr. George Beock, who was injured about a week ago by a fall from a wind mill, was seen in the city today elriving lii's team p? mules. He surpriseel the ctizcns of this 'made who ud heard of the accident. 1 lis physicians thought he would not be able to leave his house for months, but he has surprised eyerybody aacl even bimsejf by his speedy recovery From Monday's pally. Mr. John Palecek and Mis3 Jununek Cily procured a license to wed this morning. John C. Boone, our popular barber Las secured the agency of a book entitled '.'Men of Mark," wruteu by Rev,. Wm. J. Simmons, D. D- This book tells of all the colored men who have been LT. S. senator?, congressmen, and representatives of the United .States abroad. It is a book that everyone should haye. We acknowledge the receipt of a book from . II. Calhoun, jr., of Nebras ka City. The book is gotten up in first class style by that gentleman and gives a complete history of that burg, its im portance as a commercial aud manufac turing centre, with several illustrations aud cuts of the prominent business nu n. The proposition that a solid growth beats a boom is fully shown in his work. Mr. Daniel Burris, an old veteran who is well known iu the city, has gone into the book business rather enthustieally of late and is now agent for three !ooks which we trust will recompense him for his labors with a rich harvest. He is elling ''The Volunteer Soldier" by John A. Logan, which is recognized as a fust class work: ''Life and Services of Har rison and Morton," and "Social Dyna mite," by Rev. Talmage. From Thursday's Daily. Dr. Cook was called to his home, at Salem, la., rather suddenly by ad'spatch he received yesterday. He took the flyer yesterday afternoon. Mr. Latham, the B & M ticket agent here, has been furnished with a new ticket case which will afford a great advantage and convenience iq handling tickets. Mr. Joe Tubbs who was badly in jured yesterday morning by a fall from a bridge, was reported by his phisician Dr. Livingston, sr., to haye rested quite well last night. The friends of Grandma Todd, moth er of A. B. Todd, w ho has been quite ill for the last few days, will be pleased to learn that she has improved enough to allow her the privilege of moving around again. Miss Maud Ettcr, a girl about 12 years of age, and U daughther of Mrs. p sl litter, who hao been dangerously ill for the past few days, 5" sported by her physician, Dr. Livingston, sr., to be on the road to recovery at present. In the publication of the proceedings of the board of commissioners last month, we made a mistake and said J. S. Saun ilers' bill for assessing Salt Creek pre cinct was $182.90, when it should have read $132.5)0. Mrs. Jesse L. Root, who has been confined to her room for several months with typhoid fever, was able to be out driving yesterday for a short time. Her trial was a severe one as she was not ex pected to survive for some time during her long sickness. The county officers of this city assist ed an invalid who claimed to be from Illinois on his road to Grand Island, by securing a ticket for him as far as Lin coln. He asked them for a ticket for the whole distance and was not apparently satisfied at only securing one w hich call ed tor .Lincoln, lie was a consumptive anil in a bad condition. A prominent G. A. R. man of this city informed us today that Mr. E. I oaraner, oi wuom we made mention n the last two issues, has proved to be a fraud of the worst kind. He said it was a scheme he has been playing for some time trying to get money from all the old vets along the line wherever he would stop He claimed to be deaf and dumb it is supposed, for the purpose of evad ing all questions winch might be put to him. He carried with him a roster, anel when asked what regiment he had beei a member of he would open it and point to the name of E. P. Gardner of the 20tli Connecticut. The members of the G. A. R. haye assisted him in various ways and secured a ticket for him as far as some Illinois city where he desireel to go. He claimed to have been injured by a boilei explosion at Revenna a short time ago. .in. cartoon or ciaub in White's political window, is as in T,r,- (( 1 "I.-."! i 1 1 sipid an attempt at political carricature as one could imagine.

The assertion in last evenings Journal that the woolen factory of Pasaic, New Jersey, Ii83 discharged American em ployes and employed imported Hungar ians at less wages is a democratic lie made out of whole cloth all wool and a yard wide. The lie has been exposed and the Cobden club syndicate asked to furnish proof. The reason the Journal refers to Mr. Ammidown, in this manner, js, probably, on account of his article in the North American Review entitled "free wool" ;"a which Mr. Ammidown exhaustively disposes of the free wool argument.

Tin-; Journal m in struck a bonanza last evening in tne letter written by the MassachusettSjinan Lyman, w ho has recent ly been getting himself into print over an interview which is not published, 'i i;o letter of this thread man is a clear mvo away on his intelligence. When a man ays the present duties on wool were not imposed on any theory of protection or of any public interest, except the neces sity of raiding money to pay the evpe.i ;cj of the war, he writes himself down ' a, ignoramus on the subject at once and has either, never examined the question or thinks his correspondent at this place is wofully ignorant. The tariff "discussion in congress during the past twenty-seven years, from the date of the intoduction of the Morrill bill down to the present time, and especially in 1S83, show that Arthur T. Lyman is criminally jgno-ant of bn subject or very wilfully dishonest; cifHY horn of the dilemma is bud enough. That protection has to do with wages in this country, intelligent free traders -admit and for the thread man to assert that it doc-3 not is a very trilling matter. Ad mitting that "free trade would break down some branches of manufacturing!.' is to write himself down an ass, when he asserts that protection has nothhi" to do with waes. To assert that fr,. wool will not injure the native produc tion is worth just as much as his own as sertion that protection does not effect wages; although to do away with if, would break down manufacturing in this country and consequently destroy the. home markets. We think the thread man's letter "explains itself." It would be a joft snap for the Or..a!;i polticians to get J. Sterling Morton oi' any other democrat south of Platte nom ¬ inated in McShane's place.
