A full report of the conceit given lust night by Miss Paul, willl appear in tomorrow's issue. Mr. Oriu Backus, brother-in-law of Mr. YV. I). Jones, arrived in the city this morning from California. There will be a meeting of the St. Luke's Guild sewing society ut the resi deuce of Mrs. II. B. Burgess, 3rd ttreet, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. J. F. Kellogg, of Evaiifton, 111., arrived in the city this morning to re main a few days as the guest of her 6on, Mr. A. V. Kellogg, city engineer. Misses Anna Breed and Lou Engel, who have been visiting relatives in this city for some time, took their departure for Hastings, their home, this morning. Mr. Charley Miller returned from Ne hawka last evening, where ho was called by the base ball club of that place to as sist them in a couple of gamc recently. J. Duke Murray, General advance agent for "Milton Nobles'1 was in the city last night completing arrangement for the ad vei fining of his company on Monday night next, Oct. 2!), in Mr. No ble's own drama "Love and Law.'' We are sorry to learn that our new tea man Las been slightly "under tlie weather" for the last two days. The cause we attribute to the horrible stench arising from the old sewer left open ii' . front of his store, which he is obliged to inhale. Messrs. Baker, Fricke, Watt Holme:" nnd Antill leave the city today for Ilin tons lake, Iowa, where they intend to hunt the feathered tribe for a few days. They have provided themselves with a Baker nud it is not probable the will think of their Holmes until they succeed in filling their frickle. An till then we do not expect to see them. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion will have a formal opening of their rooms tomorrow evening Oct. 23. Mr, D. B. SinitU C.nd J. II. Waterman are a committee on programme and,they tell us to come and see, then we will know what. will be there. As 'tis free, aud no collection taken, we will surely go. Let all turn out and show the young men we Appreciate their efforts for the welfare of ; our young men. Cieone De Forest Daniels, a promi nent elocutionist of Omaha, and a gradu ate of Marji'urite W. Morton from "Phil adelphia school of Oratory," is at present in the city. She is ready to receive pu pils, and is prepared to give them a thorough course in elocution and veiec culture. This rare opportunity has never been offered to the young and ambition people of this city before, aud there sure ly is a good opening for such a teacher. We wish Miss Daniels unlimited success here. For further particulars notice her advertisement on this page. Mr. C. M. Wead, who went to Oma ha this morning as a committee cf one from the Young Men's Republican Club to make arrangements for the transporta tion to Ashland Friday night, telegraphed the information tins afternoon that ac commodation ivould be furnished for the occasion provided one hundred and fifty tickets are sold. The train will leave "here Friday evening at the regular time and return the same night. Already over the required number have signified their intention of attending, and it is ex pected that five times as many more will ro. The fare has been reduced to J0 cents for the round trip, so that no one can cry on account of expense. The branch of the water company's located here is laboring under many dis advantages at present. Plattsmouth io6t of as fiue water privillgca as there are in the state of Nebraska, for which considerable credit is due the water com pany which located one of their branch . offices here. They built here on the en couragement of the prospects of increas ing population and industry; uot for the m(,Qey to be made at present. For aoine time theupport afforded them by the city ha not paid expenses, and the com pany has been obliged to draw on head quarters. At present there another obstacle in their course. They arc now compelled to make various inprovements and changes iu their works. As the river has dried up, tho water supply which they have always used previously lias been cut off. and now they are at the expense of digging wells. Besides this, the taking up and changing of the main pipe on Main street, necessitated by the grading, adds quite an additional sum to their expense bills. We trust that pros perity iu the future years will amply re play them for drawbacks of the past which they hive been obliged to tolerate. From Tuesday's Dally. Our local contemporary informs us that the water company will dig a trench the whole distance of the water main and roll the whole line into it at the same time. They also inform us that they intend to wait and see and we believe that is about all they can do. We heve learned since re ceiving that valuable information from the Journal, that it is the intention of the superintendents of the job to separate the joints at the distance of only a few lengths and roll pieces of the main in at a time, and we believe that is about the only waj- it can be done. Many have noticed the bridge of single planks suspended over main straet about three feet high, opposite the post office. Yesterday, a lady, rather than wade through the mud to cross the street, attempted the feat of crossing the bridge. When about half way across her attention was diverted from her course. She discovered that she had made a misstep when it was too late, and i.i a half smothered shriek for help fell to the surging billows of muddy colored water below and was lost for a time. To secure safety for ladies in crossing the bridge, a railing should be attached to each side. For the convenience the information will afford men whose business it is to attend the trains as they arrive and de part, we take upon ourselves the privi lege of giving a reason for the location of a small house on the sandbar opposite the depot. Every day inquiries are made concerning it. It looks to be stationed on the sandbar, but we learned that it is build on a small boat which is to be used as a gun boat. The owner of the boat and the builder ot the small cabin is named Porter. He is at present working on the sewer, while his son, a boy about 13 years of age, is making preparations for their departure by water, for St. Joe, within a few days. Mr. Fred Latham, ticket agent at the R. & M., met with rather a severe accident last night. lie has a new cupon case in the office which is coverad by a slat covering made to pull down from the top. The case is about seven or eight feet high, There is a top ornament which weighs several pounds, and which was not very securely fastened. Mr. Latham tried to pull the j coyer down over the case, but as it is new. ho could not work it easily alone and requested a yard man who was stand ing near to assist hij. While they were working with the slide, the heavy oina- mcnt dropped from the top, striking Mr. Latham on the head and knocking the yard man down. It cut an ugly gash on Mr. L's head, stunning him for a time, but he is able to be around today and at tend to business "with his head bound up. Mr. Mathew Gering, candidate for j county attorney on the democratic ticket, made the following statement in his lit tle speech of acceptance upon receiving the honor of the nomination conferred upon him: "Gentlemen, give me a full democratic vote, that is all I want, and I will attend to the republican votes my self." It made few republicans who were in the house at the Ute and heard tha bold assertion, smile. The republi cans will surely take good care of their own votes every time, and if Mr. Gering intend to grab at the republican vote as a last straw before he is ready to sink, we will say that he's a goner sure. Our local contemporary squib sheet endeavors to confirm the idea of a few that he suc ceeded in spreading it all over his oppo nent in his Bpci-ches over the country last week, but we failed to .'-ear it that way. The team of democratic orator It not coiupleie unless our worthy friend of the Journal is oo hand to assist in their grand effort, byt we learn that he fg afraid to venture out again because he: hag a horror of skunks since he droye over one during one of his eirplojts. 1 From Monday's Daily. Mr. Juhn Ballenger and wife spent Sunday at Schuyler. Mr. Ira Ingalls, of St. Paul, is in the city visiting relatives. Mr. Bird Critchfield is in Weeping Water today on business. Mr. Fred. Murphy, of Cedar Creek, spent Sunday at his home here. Mr. Jim Knotts is visiting iu Council Bluffs, la., and Beatrice, Neb., this week Mrs. P. N. Wood and two childien of Vicksburg, Miss., who have been visiting at the home of Rev. J. T. Baird, returued home this morning. Miss Elsie Mason a girl 15 years of age, was tried before Judge Russell to day and sentaDced to the reform school. Deputy sheriff Miller will start with her for Kearny, Neb., tomorrow morning. A fair sized square box was seen in the express office this morning addressed to Mr. Mathew Gering, Greenwood. It wrs labeled "Campaign Water." Indians would term it "fire water" probably. Mr. Ellis Goosby, a switchman, who was injured in the B. & M. Yards last Friday night, is improving as much es can be expected under the circumstances. It is not known yet how extensive an amputation will be necessary. Miss Ida Martin of Canton, Ohio, who has been visiting in the city for several weeks, returned to her home this morning. She was accompanied as far as Chicago by her friend, Miss Hattie Latham. Ttev. mP. Gorden, of Kellogg, la., at former pastor of the M. E. church here twenty years ago occupied the pulpit at the Presbyterian church last night. His old friends were glad to hear him once again. Miss Cieone Daniels, of Omaha, ar rived iu the citv this morning to visit a few days with her friend, Miss Mammie Vivian. She intends to give instructions : in elocution as soon as arrangements are completed. Miss Daniels is a graduate of the St. Paul art school. The two year old child of 7ust Sudhtz who resides in the vicir.'f of the ferry landing, died Sunday la'-mig. The funeral takes place today at 2 o'clock rue iwo year oiu cmia or l. s. Forbes, was buried yesterday afternoon Considering the extremely disagreeable state of the weather, there was a large attendance. The first snow of the season ap peared here yesternay so heavily that all roofs were covered during the dav. As the weather was the most disagreeabl and the streets almost impassable, few people were seen upon tho streets at any time. E. W. Lewis & Co., of Omaha, con tractors for artificial aud natural stone pavements, have contracted to build walks of artificial stone in front of the business houses of the following firms Carruth & Son, Cass Copnty Bank, John Blake, and II. Boech. The work will b commenced as soon as possible, and it is hoped that all business men will secure tho services of the above firm, as a walk made of that material will cost little more than au ordinary plank walk. Miss Ida McLaughlin, a young lady about 18 years of age, who lived at her home on a farm adjoining the poor farm, west of the city, djed yesterday morning about 8 o'clock. She has been sick for five weeks or more with typhoid fever, and was thought to be recovering, when she was suddenly taken wcrse, and died shortly afterwards. She was to be mar ried Jn a short time to a young man uanjed'Harry Thomas, vlt I'yes near this city. Miss McLaughlin was highly spoken of by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, "Hollow Eve" is about at hand again and the hoodlums of this city arc all excitement over its coming. We learn that the coming event is to be their loudest celebration ever held here. The hoary-headed old men armed with shot guns loaded with peas, who are jnyariably on the watch for the pcsky'-kids'should retire for that night and allow the boys one night to hold their long talked of celebration. No doubt they will do things up in fine style, but as this is leap yeaF, the girls consider this privilege among their many fcud we learn that they will come out in full blast. A young man stepped aside on a crossing yesterday afternoon to allow a lady to pass. Tfae UupWe attitjj.de struck ( by him as he did so afforded unlimited amusement to only a few spectators In a second the young man's feet could be seen on one side of the crossing and hi head on the other, and he was apparently helpless at the feet of the lady. With some difficulty he regained his former upright position and passed slowly away. bearing an expression which expressed j the following strong desire: "I would like to swear." He remained in bed dur ing the afternoon while his friends scraped off a good portion of the street. He can be seen on the streets to-day, but he walks with a firmness that conveys the idea, "I must wear spikes." From Saturday's Daily. The two-year old daughter of Mr. C. S. Forbes died last night about 9 o'clock from whooping cough. Tho funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence of Mr. Forbes, corner of Itock and 11th, Rev. P. Gorden, pastor of the Con gregational church, of Kellogg, la., is in the city. He will be remembered by some of the oldest settlers ot this place as being the first Methodist Episcopal minister stationed here, about twenty eight years ago. He will remain in the city over Sunday and will probably occupy a pulpit in one of the churches. Mr. Henry McMaken received tomb stones today for the following veterans of the late war who have passed away: Win. Amick, Co. H, 2nd Nebraska cav alary, buried at Eight Mile Grove; I'. J. Becker, Co.

There will be a fine dramatic event at Waterman opera house Thursday even ing Oct 25, Miss. Coombs will eppear as "Lady Dedlock and llortenae," in Charles Dickens' "Bleak House." At her ap pearance at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 25th, the Plain Dealer says: Miss Coombs, as announced, assumed the dual rdes of Lady Dedlock and Hortense, and how admirable the concep tion, how faithful the production, only those who haye seeu it can testify. How singularly adapted this actress is to em body in face, form aud feature, the nuv-t-list's description of his heroine. "She has a beautiful face, fiue bearing and ex quisite grace. Her figure is elegant and has the effect of being tall " From this what a transformation to the role of Hortense, the crafty, cunning, revengeful lady's maid. "A French woman of two and thirty from somewhere in the south ern country about Marsailles a large eyed, brown woman with black hair, who would be handsome, but for a cer tain feline month, giving her the general air of a neatshe-wolf imperfectly tamed." Miss Combs not only looked the charac ters, but she faithfully acted them and gave expression to a multitude of emo tions, intense maternal love, bitter hate, supreme contempt, following one another in quick succession. , Spcchd scenery and elaborate stage settings, are carried by this company and Miss Coombs is surrounded by a repre sentative American company.
