when he landed here, had only $12,

Considerable excitement was created
last night, by the report that Mr. Joseph

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.

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

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.

The funeral of Mrs. Emma Whitney,
who died at her home, two miles south of

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

some time, returned home last evening.

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.
