The club has gained for itself a wide reputation and it is expected the home team will have to work or go down in their pockets. One of the oldest settlers in this part of the country is Stephen Wiles, who has lived on his present place two'miles south west of here, oyer 35 years. Mr. Wiles, when he landed here, had only $12, but by diligent endeavors, has acquired a good fortune. It takes Uncle Steph to tell wolf stories and how to catch them too. Considerable excitement was created last night, by the report that Mr. Joseph Kelly had dropped dead, heart disease being given as the cause. The majority of people in the business portion of the town heard the report before it was contra dicted. Mr. Kelly has been sick for some timr It has not been learned how the report orginated. -Tomorrow is the day of the great celebration of the Nebraska City pontoor. bridge and other improvements recently made there. The firemen of this city re ceived an invitation to participate in the festivities of the day. They have ac cepted the invitation and they will be accompanied by a large number of the citizens from here. The Beatrice base ball club is anxious to meet the Plattsmouth team. They are possessed of enough assurance to back themselves up with $100. Last night Mr. Jas. Patterson received a letter from their manager stating that they wished to play for that amount We learned that they are to be accommodated and the date has been set for September 7th. The school board met last night and made a selection of two teachers from five applicants, to fill the remaining vacancies. We congratulate the board on the selection, as both young ladies haye attained a first-class reputation as teachers, and they are both favorably known here and elsewhere. Miss Millie Bell, of Ashland, and Miss Riddle, of Wahoo, are the ones selected for the positio s. A Mr. S. P. Thomas reports that some party or parties appropriated a handsome slop jar which was convenient to the east window of his room during his ab sence.

The following democratic delegation eft for Lincoln this morning to attend their state convention which will be held there today and tomorrow: Messrs. J. Blake, Jake Vallery, sr., Ed. Fitzgerald, Mat Gering, Dave MeEntee, F. E. White and Jas Patterson, jr. They all went on a regular train. The watermelon social given by the Y. L. R. It. A. at Uockwood hall last night attracted quite a large crowd. A large pile of watermelons was put aside in one corner of the hall in the early part of the evening for future use. As the crowd increased, the watermelon pile grew small rapidly, and one would think. if they were not acquainted with the cir cumstanccs, and saw the large prize water melon in the centre of the room, that the person swallowing the most melon could secure the prize, the contest to be decid ed by the scales. The crowd worked away incessantly at the pile until it had been reduced to about two or three, and the vehicle which had been used to carry the melons to the hall, would have served as a great convenience to some of the big eaters who had tried to carry away too much of the pile. The large watermelon which was located in the centre of the room had been set un as a prize to the best guesser of the party. Mr. Frank Knotts of this office, balanced what he had already taken with the large melon, guessing twenty-nine pounds, the exact weight. Several of the young ladies ex ercised their leap year privileges and wished to accompany him home, think ing lie would get tired of his load about the time he would reach their homes and leave it in their care. He thought he was man enough for fifty-eight pounds, and succeeded in getting it as far as this office where he left it for the hungry prirts. From Tuesday's Daily. Mr. J. P. Becker, of Union, is in the city today. Jonathan Kerns, of Tabor, la., is in the city today. W. A. Derrick, local editor of Thk Herald, left on the flyer today for Ash land. S. & C.

Mr. Frank Carruth left for Denver th morning, where he goes to attend the ''Deep Water Convention, which is to be held there soon. Mr. G. S. Cooley of Cedar Creek was in the city today and said he yoted for William Henry Harrison in 1840 and would vote for Benj. Harrison on the Cth day of November next. Mr. D. A. Campbell and wife left fo Denver last night. Mr. Campbell com bines business with pleasure, as he is one of the delegates sent by the board of trade to the "Deep Water Convention A wreck occurred this morning in the northern part of the yards. Switcl engine, Tso. 22, run through an oppu switch and fell over against the high bank, but the tender stood up, although it was off of the track. Considerabl damage was done to the engine, which will have to go to the shops for repairs, Lewis Hoffman, the boy horse thief who was arrested here about six month ago, was tried before Judge Chapman last Saturday and sentenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary. Sheriff Ei kenbary took him to Lincoln Saturday night. Mr. Eikenbary's two daughters accompanied them to see the sights. The prosperity of our city is visible on every hand, new buildings and new sidewalks have been built, streets graded. gas extensions being added and with the army of men now at work on the sewer and paving makes business lively and the future most flattring. Parties who have been absent from the city for a few months vacation, on their return scarcely recognize the place and are agreeably surprised to note the many improve ments. The following delegates were elected to attend the float convention between Otoe and Cass counties. The date and place has not yet been decided on nor will not be known until the chairmen of the central committees agree among them selves on a certain date and place: Messrs. John Erechson, Chas. A. Wool sey, E. A. Statter, George Baird, Jas. Crofford, U. M. Satchel, M. M. Butler, Walter Culforth, II. G. Uawley, Sam Barker, E. W, Barnqm, A. Root, L. C. Styles, J. W. Johnson, M B. Murphy and J. P. Antill. Commtrclaank, Weeping Water A meeting of the directors of the Commercial bank was held Friday, Au gust 17th with results as follows: Presi dent, Thos. K. Clark, Weeping Water; vice-prasident, A. H. Smith, of Denver, Cel.; cashier, J. M. Roberts, Weeping Water, Directors, A. B. Smith, Thos. K. Clark, J. M. Roberts, and S. Allen R. C Colburn and E. T. Goodrich of Vermont. A further assessment of stock was voted and the rapidily increasing business of the bank indicates that the entire stock will be paid in soon. The bank owns and does business in the finest brick block in Weeping Water, which is loca ted in the very center of the business part of the city. That the stock of this bank should be eagerly sought for is not surprising, when we consider that Weeping Water is located neaa the center of the county in the midst of the oldest, wealth iest and most fertile farming country in the state. The rock deposit is the most extensive west of the Missouri and east of the rocky mountains. The out-put from the quarries in and around Weep ing Water is 500 cars of stone per week and 250 barrells of lime per day. The organization of new stone companies and the opening of new quarries is constantly going on and the entire state is looking to these quarries for its supply of crushed and buildincr stone and lime. The stockholders of the Commercial bank represent a large amount of wealth and it is their intention to keep their institu tion abreast of this marveleous growth of business. J. M. Beardsley and Thos. K. Clark, are of the firm of Beardsley, Clark & Co., lumber dealers, and have done the larg est business in this line in the county. J. M. Roberts for a number of years conducted one of the most ex tensive business interests in the city of Plattsmouth until at tracted by the advantages of Weeping Water and her surroundings when he invested in and became cashier of the Commercial bank a position he has ever since held. These men haye grown'with the state, having seen it pass from its primative condition to its present wealth and pros perity; they have a wide range of ac quaintances and a -thorough knowledge of the men and money of Cass county, and are known in business circles for their conservatism and cL":se attention to business. A. B. Smith has for years been connected with the C, B. & Q. R. R. Co. in the capacity of a civil engineer with headquarters at Denyer. Win. II. Wright represents seveial heavy eastern capitalists and has through the firm of Tryon Wright, of Iowa, and Clark & Howard of Weeping Water put out upwards ot $1,200,000 in farm loans in Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska The Commercial bank has always been on a sound basis and with the above combination of men and money will con tinne to grow with the wealth of the country and the increase of business. From Monday's Dally. Mr. Chris. Young celebrated his 80th birthday last Saturday. Mr. John Shannon is confined to his home with a severe attack of typhoid fever. Where were thirty democrats when the special left for Wahoo Saturday night. The Chinese give as their reason why that race favors the republican candidate, that, "lepublican, he wearee two shirtee a weekee, dlemoclat, he wearee one shirtee allee yeare.?. The funeral of Mrs. Emma Whitney, who died at her home, two miles south of the city, at 7:10 o'cock Saturday evening. took place yesterday afternoon. She was buried in the Eikenbary cemetery, three miles south of the city. She was a vie tim of typhoid fever, which is so preva lent here at present. Rev. T. K. Surface of the U. B. church, preached the sermon, and tne funeral was under the manage men of the I. O. O. F., of this city. She was the daughter of John and Catharine Toryer, was born in Elk Heart county, Indiana, and was aged 20 years, months and 13 days at the time of her death. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her loss. From Saturday's Dally. Mrs. Hagood, wife of John McF. Hagood, deceased, is at present lying in a very critical condition. Mr. Hagood was prominent old soldier. Mr. Geo. Anderson, a machinest at the B. & M. shops here, who lately arrived from England, left on the flyer this after noon for Kewanne, 111., where he expects to meet his wife and children on their way from England. Mr, Nash, who is at present in the city with several of the delegates, started out this morning with a subscription pa per to raise $800 in the interests of the Y, M- C. A, here. We wish him unlimit ed success in his good work, We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary ticket to the Cheyenne county fair, which will be held at Sidney, Neb., September 2Ctb, 27th and 28th, ac companied by a pleasing invitation to attend, from A. B. Persinger, secretary. ON THE RAMPAGE. Trimmer Still Traveling Through the Rural Dlstrlicts. Murray, Eight MHeCroye, Factory- vi lie. Nine miles southwest of Plattsmouth on the survey of the B. & M. and M. P. railroads is situated the quiet little burg of Murray. Its location is a very pleas ant one, being high and dry. so that the view is good for many miles in all direc tions, and the country unequaled by none. Murray's citizens arc of a most substan tial kind, and get all the good out of life tnat is possible. Mr. Latta stands at the head in the business circles of Murray. He runs a general store and his customers all get value received for money expend ed with him. Prior to the administration of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Latta was post master at that place; but not long after Grover began his dutia he (Latta) was outed and Dr. J. B. Brendel appointed instead, whe is attending to the ar duous duties satisfactory to all, however, Mr. Latta is keeping in practice; he still has the P. O. boxes where he stores away his goods, and says if Harrison is elected he will again be the public's seryant. Wm. Loughridge is the blacksmith of Murray and gives such universal satis faction that farmers come to his shop from miles around. A. M. Holnes is a wagon maker and runs a general repair shop. Mrs. A. M. Holmes dressmaker. The Murray people enjoy preaching eycry Sabbath by the United Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Murray, from whom the place derives its name. While at Murray we met with J. B. Totton, one of the many good farmers of that vicinity, and added his name to our long list. Not his alone, but Dr. J. B. Brendel subscribed for the Daily IIeb al, and Wm. Loughridge, A. M. Hol mes and W. E. Latta for the Weekly. The rural sport at Murray is pitching horse shoes. Wc were informed that the mania had struck the country and they thought of challenging any one in the west, as being the champion of the horse shoe craze. In case Murray gets the M. P. railroad which is very probable at a day not far in the dim future, she will make a lively little town. Another quiet country trading town is Eight Mile Grove the store at this point is carried on by Mr. Walt Jenkins, who we found to be a very pleasant and so ciable man, and as loyal a republican as we care to meet. We wish to express our thanks for the splendid likeness ot President Cleveland, which he so artist lcly drew and presented to us. It repre sents Cleveland adyocating thedemoniti zation of silver and Senator Beck knocks out his left eye while the republicans will knock out the other in November, It was just noon when we arrived at Dr. Millers who is the post master at the Grove, we concluded we would stop for dinner, where we were right royally treated and enjyed our stop to the ut most. The doetor keeps well posted on the issues of the day and can talk pro tection poinis to perfection. Since the new town of Union sprung into existence Factory ville has been al most abandoned, the postoffice has with drawn, and the merchants and citizens mostly removed to Union. However the large Factoryville flour ing mill is still running. We met with Mr. T. M. Warne who recently came from California and purchased the mill and reports business as good. Mr. Warne paid cash for the Herald one year. At Factoryville we met I. N. Applegate, who owns one half section of as fine land as lays in the county, Mr. Applegate is known in this county, as he was in Iowa when we knew him, as being a first-class citizen. In our travel wo stopped one night last week with Mr. E. B. Todd, who is one of the prosperous farmers livin north of Uni n owning over 1,000 acres of land. Mr. L. V.Todd is one of the wheel horses of the Union Labor party, und produces some telling arguments in behalf of their support. We also took dinner recently at the fine home of Mr. Geo. Boeck, brother of Henry Boeck of this place, Mr. B. has things as well fixed on his farm as any we have yet vistited. One of the large improvements on his place is a barn 60x 80 feet with the most modern conven iences. (Continued Next Week.) From Thursday's Daily. Miss Jessie McCoy, sister of Mr. Joe McCoy and Mrs. Frank Corsey, who has been visiting in the city for some time, left for Council Bluffs this morning. Mr. Adam Boeck and daughter. Miss Millie, of St. Louis, who have been visit ing with the family of Mr. II. Boeck for some time, returned home last evening. Straypd.

Having this day sold my stock of Hardware', Stove, Tinware, etc.. to .Messrs. Jrckenlt:M fc AVeid irmn, I wmiM respectfully and ear nestly ak that all those in niv deht come tor ward promptly and settle their accounts; as it will he neces sary for me to close up my business as speedily as possible he fore en gaging in other pursuits. I also take this occasion to thank the public, both in tin; city and county, for the very liberal patronage giv en me during the time I have been engaged in husintes here, and hope, the same will he extended to my successors. J NO. 11. COX. doetl-w3iu Arsenic and quinine are dangerous drugs to accumulate in one's system, and it is ta be hoped that those poisons, ns a remedy for ague, have had their day. Ayer's Ague Cure is a sure antidote for the ague, is perfectly safe to take, and is warranted to cure. A illionaire In a Minute Instances are on record where toilers in gold mines and diamond fields, who, by one turn of the pade, a single movement of the hand, have been transfoii.icd from penniless laborers to millionaires. But they were not so lucky as is the consump tive who finds a means of restoration to health, who learns that the dread disease from which he suffers is not incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will cure consumption (which is lung scrofula), and nothing else will. For alt diseases of the blood, such as blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous sores and swellings, it is unequalled. Scrofula, in the blood, corrupts and contaminates every tissue and fiber in the whole body; but whether appearing in the form of swellings, erysipelas, or running sores, the maglignant poisons of the dis ease are completely eradicated by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Best Cough Cure. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, no remedy is so safe, speedy, and certain as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. An indispensable family medicine. "I find Ayer's Cherry Pectoral an Invaluable remedy for colds, coughs, and other ailments of the throat and lungs." M. S. Randall, 204 Uroadway, Albany, N. Y. " I have used Ayer's Cherry Tectoral for bronchitis and Lung Diseases, for which I believe it to be the greatest medicine in the world." James Miller, Caraway, N. C. "My wife had a distressing cough, with pains in the side and breast. We tried various medicines, but none did her any good until I got a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral which has cured her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the measles, and the cough was relieved by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I have no hesitation in recommending this medicine." Robert Ilorton, Fore man Headlight, Morrillton, Ark. " Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured mo of a severe cold which had settled on my lungs. My wife says tho Pectoral helps her more thaD any other medicine she ever used." Enos Clark, Mt. Liberty, Kansas. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.
