The Journal man can't tell a velocipede fr"in a mogul engine; his story about a runaway engine going to Pacific Junc tion without an engiuuer or fireman, is pure unadulterated moonshine, as notk iug of the kind occurred. The only "light engine" that crossed the bridge that day was Posey M ssersmith on u railroad velocipede, but he didn't make fifty niilri au hour. The school board at Nebraska City is having a hot time. G. 1). Ostrum was elected by the board of education to succeed C, D. Rakestraw as super intendent of the public schools A petition is in circulation asking the board to recousider the appointment. Rake straw has tiled charge against Ostrum, which will be lizard tomorrow evening. Public seutiment is divided and is rather war in. Robert Vesentt, city editor of the Council BiutTd Nonpareil has disgraced the profession by going about the streets of that city carrying lare sums of money on his person; the fact probably would never have been made public hail he not fallen in with foot pails nnd been robbed of the eutire sum ot $ 15. His reporting so large an amouut of cash on hand has caused his freuds gravo suspicious that he has mt been robbed at all but is en deavoring to get a little not'-rirty. M The celebrated coal oil Johuy that made three or four millions in the oil regions of Pensylvania in three or four months aud saw more of high life iu getting away with it in less than a year, than any other man on the gl--he, has been discovered by au Omaha newspaper as a modest citizen of Ashland helping arouud the B. & M. depot in that city He is a very noted persouage aud probably selected Ashland as the most quiet pi act. in the country to spend his reclining days; he evidently had'nt heard of Nebraska City. PKKSOtfAL Mrs. Geo. Houseworth is seeing friends in Omaha today. Mrs, Walt. Holmes is visiting At her former home at Batavia, Illinois, for a W weeks. It. W.

A Young Woman's Success. One of the brightest women in New ' York, JJrs. Isabel Mallon, who, perhaps, j knows more about woman, s dress and ', fixings than any woman in America, has been added to the editorial staff of tho Ladies Home Journal, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Mallon is an experienced editorial writer, and will conduct one of the fullest and strongest fashion departments in the Journal ever attempted in a general magazine. Her new position makes her the best paid fashion writer in the country. Mrs. Mallon is young, pretty, and one of tho best known women in New York society. Agin The Wedding. Chadron Advocate. Mr. O. M. Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha World Herald, has added to the many interesting features of his journal a new one, that of a matrimonial agency. The first couple he wants to join is the democratic party and the Nebraska farmers, alliance. In his issue of the 2Gth he proposes the following terms of mar riage settlement: The Alliance to name, the democratic party indorse a state ticket. The dem ocratic party to name and the alliance to indorse tho three congressmen, both organizations to bend every energy to the election of the joint ticket so formed. It is the opinion of this paper that the bride expectant in this case has a mimd of her own and don't intend to be given away to a gray 1 1 aired old monoplist like the democratic party. Behold the leaders of the democracy iu this state! The Mil lers, Mortons, and McShaues what do they have in common with the toiling thousands of the fanners' alliance?

G-I'VIElNr A"W.AY WITH IBOYS The only Leading ONE Priced CLOTHIER More Styles to select from ami for LESS MONEY than any other House can Opera House Corner, A GALA WEDDING. The Roth-Weckbach Nuptials Cele brated this Afternoon. Mr. Frederick Roth and Miss Annio Weckbach were married today at the residence of the brides parents in this city. The groom is a prominent business man In Grand Island and already has a haudsomehome furnished for occupancy of the newly wedded pair. Miss Annie Weckbach is the well known daughter of J. V. Weckbach Esq., and is one of Plattsmouths brightest girls, her genial ways and kindly manners made her a host of friends. She will ho greatly missed in a larger circle than that of the Weck bach family. Mr. Roth is indeed fortu nate in his choice. At a few minutes past 2 o'clock, the spacious parlors, glowing in the gas light and decorated w ith beautiful bouquets of flowers, were crowded with the friends of the bride and groom. Miss Minnie Guthman struck up the wedding march as the bridal party entered the parlor at the north door, little Katie Weckbach heading the party and carrying a hand some basket of flowers, then came Kate Heinple and Chas. Weckbach, cousin and brother of the bride, then F. Tschouder a friend of the groom and May Weck bach, sister of the bride, followed by the bride and groom. The party passed into the south parlor on the west side, where Rev. Father Kearney, in the beautiful impressive form of the Catholic church performed the marriage ceremony . The bride wore a dress of white silk batiste with diamond ornaments, a cor sage bouquet of Marschal Neil roses and white veil with wreath of lilies. After the ceremony, congratulations were showered upon the happy couple, until dinner was announced, when a sumptuous feast was partaken of by a host of friends and relatives. The presents consisting of many useful and ornamental articles, were rich and expensive, one room of the house being almost entirely occupied with enough to set up two or three couples at house keeping. Among the many guests from abroad the Herald noticed Wm Krug, Gust and Wm Weckbach and families of Omaha; Major Kleutsch and daughter, Mrs. Carpenter and Mr. Bigar of Lincoln; Miss Breed. Miss Lou Engel, of Hastings; Mr. Huml)crt and family and Mrs. Autrid, of Omaha; Miss Helen and James Stander, Louisville; Peter Stander and wife, South Bend. With many others whom we did not know. The Hkrai.d in common with all the good ieople of Plattsmouth extends best wishes, and sincere hopes for prosperity and happiness. The hypocrite who runs the Journal has never shown the least respect for the feelings of others, he has times without number jumped upon and shamefully abused some of our lest citizens without cause or wairant, and for a man of his ilk to talk about malice of the lowest order, as though he wera a teacher of public purity is certainly a fine exhibition of pure gall. He shows the base calum uitor that he is by saying that the local editor of the Herald in any manner threw a straw in Mr. Peterson's way. He even accepts the charge of the Omaha Herald wherein it says "Sherman telegraphed that he did not know Peterson," with out a word of denial, in order that he might quote it against us. They are welcome to all they can make out of their plea of injured inmcence but they must not carry the matter too far- The fact that we scooped the Journal in printing the article hurt Mr. Shermans feelings far worse than the mere mention of Mr. Petersons name in connection with the arrest.
