There will he a large number of peo ple in the city during tournameut week, arl doubtless the mayor and council will at their regular meeting tonight, increase the police force to such a number as will guarantee safety to person and property all over the city. And the Hkuu.d would suggest that it would be better to have too many on the force than too few. IJy all means let the force be ade quate to preserve order and prevent the occurrence of anything that might be UV&L against the city's obtaining like gatherings in the future. Band contebt at 1 p. m., Wednesday, June 23th, in which all the bands present will participate. There are two prizes offered, first, f50 and second $25. There will be sc - ' bands present from abroad and with ar two home bands this will be a great contest which our people should not fail to hear. The contest will take place on the tourna ment grounds just before the races com mence. The liverymen, last evening at the meeting of the committee on arrange ments, agreed that they would reduce the rates for the benefit of the fire boys during the tournament and that all the 6ide seated wagons run by them the rates will be fifteen cents to the grounds and fifteen cents back. The committee on general arrange ments haye assurance that all of the best teams in the state will be here for the races and that several teams that have never run before will make their first record. The boys are looking forward to see the best races ever run in the state. We print in this issue a complete pro gram of the three days races, also u list of the local committee of arrangements.

From Tuesday's Daily, The eight annual tournament of the Nebraska Firemen's Association opened today with flattering prospects. The grounds have been prepared with great care and the track is thought to be the best in the stato.

On arriving there, the boys of that place at first refused to play but at last got the game started Although the Plattsmouth boys told them they might take eeyeral of the men that were watching the game, to fill the - vacant positions, they refused to play after the fourth inning.being afraid they would be beaten too badly. The score stood 14 to 0, in favor of the visiting boys. AMENDMENT NOTES. ANON. As we go up and down the streets of this city we are becoming acquainted with numbers of the genteel, generous, and as a class, intelligent people of tjiis city. In t)ie course of conversation we usual ly speak of the amendment question, which is beiug agitated more and more every day, and which must soon be si t tled by the votes of the citizens. While a great many are well read and up with the times, they do not seem to have studied logically and consistently, the amendment question. The first objection 'with many is, "This is a free country and I don.t believe in making men do anything against their will." To this we say, this amendment if passed, will be done in just the same manner the other sixteen amend menta have, by two thirds majority, and then how many have you forced to leave off drinking against their will? Not more than one third and the other two thirds ought to have the power to carry and en- foice the amendment. We want men to be persuaded 'hat they should vote for a right principle or quit drinking, be cause it is a right thing to do, and not do either against their wills. Some people say, "What will the poor farmer do with all his grain if we have prohibition? Why, dear man. the ma jority of the farmers in this state want prohibition; then should you and I, who live in the city, say that two-thirds or the majority of the farmers shall not have prohibition? It seems to me that the poor farmer ought to know his own business better than we do. Another man says, "I don't care if a man takes a glass or two and goes on about his busi ness; and whose business is it?" "But I don't like to see men act the fool and tret drunk, and I am in favor of high license for some one else will get the money anyway, and we might as well have the money as any other town." But, dear friends, when you vote for the high license you vote for the saloon: and when you vote for the saloon that means that there will be ardent spirits sold to make it profitable for the saloon keeper, and if he sells ardent spirits drunkenness is very apt to follow, with all its evils. And so far as the money question is concerned, the saloon keeper needs send somewhere and buy his stock of spirits and in this way he sends your money away from here and more than you get back too. Then simply because some one else docs wrong for money, is this any just reason for us to have high license? Some say we could not get along with out ardent spirits for medicine, etc. Well, the amendment will only prohibit the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits as a beverage and nothing else. Now in conclusion I would say to every voter, search the records of the states which have adopted prohibition and also those who have not; not by any one else's hearsay, or by what the papers say, but search for yourself and see for yourself who pays the most taxes; which have the greatest number of criminals and outlaws; 8ee which are prospering the most; and then stop and consider which is right from principle, pronibi tion or high license? Search for your self and not for another, and see whether you are consistent, impartial, and strictly temperate, which means prohibition, for temperance and prohibition are both on the same side of the fence. O. T. W. Horse In a Well. From Tuesday's Daily. Jackson Rakes, a farmer living down in Liberty precinct, and his two boys drove up to the city this morning to see the show and tournament, and, to com - bine business with pleasure, they loaded up with cord wood, came to town and sold their load to Mrs. Hart, a widow lady down on south Third street, unload ed the wood and in turning the team around on an adjoining vacant lot be- loneins to the railroad company, one of the horses dropped into an old well which was negligently left uncovered, falling to the bottom, a depth of about fifteen feet. This occurred at about 11:30 a. m. Word of the accident was got to Mr. Hawksworth at once, and lie ordered that a derrick be taken from the shops, and an effort be made to lift the animal bodily. About two hours were spent in trying to rescue the horse by meuns of the der rick, and finding this fruitless, a large force of men were put to work to dig the dirt from around the animal, and at this writing, 2 p. m. they have not reached a depth where it can be rescued. Doubt less the animal has suffered great injury, and will be valueless when taken out, as the well is small in diameter, and walled with stone and brick, and the horse has done a great deal of plunging and scuffl ing to extricate himself. LAT ER. Since writing the above the B. & M. men tied a rope around the horse's neck and pulled Lim out. The horse walked off as if nothing bad happened, the only marks he received to show that be bad been in the well for over three hours, was a piece of hide about the size of a man's hand peeled off of his back. Odd Fellows Conclave. The third auuual conclave of the I. O. O. F. for Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska., will be held in this city the second Tues day in August next, that being the 12th day of the month. Fully 10,000 Odd Fellows are expected to be in the city upon this occasion, and the following committees have been appointed who have in hfind the preparations to receive and care for these numerous guests: Finance L.

Wickersham, the leading jeweler has prepared five beautiful gold badges as prizes, for the firemen's tournament, which begins tomorrow. Two of these badges are alike, being a ring represent ing a section of hose suspended from a gold pi.i left blank for the champions name. Just above the ring is a gold bar with the word "Plattsmouth"' en graved thereon, while the ring bears the following, "Champion, 1S90 Coupler." The third is a large badge representing an eight point star the center of which is handsomely engraved representing the implements used by the firemen in fight ing fire and also"State Champion Platts mouth." The fourth and fifth badges are hand somely gotten up, one bearing the words "Champion Water Hose Co., 18ii0, Plattsmouth,"and the other "Champion Chief Runner, Plattsmouth." They are all handsome badges and the winners will be proud to own them. Pick Pockets. From Tuesday's Daily. Yesterday evening when No. 3 pulled in at the depot here from the east, Mr. Wm. Eikcnbary, a farmer living near Union who was just returning from Chi cago, where he had been to market two car loads of cattle, stepped off the train and requested a Herald reporter to de liver a small box of roots and cuttings with a message, to Mr. A. W. White, of this city, as he wished to continue his journey on No. 3 to Omaha, and there take a Missouri Pacific train to Union which would enable him to reach home before the midnight hour. When the train reached Bellevue, Conductor Carter tele graphed back that Eikenbary was robbed just as No. 3 left Plattsmouth. Nothing farther has been learned up to this writing, and it is not known whether Mr. Eikenbary had a considerable amouut of money on his person or not, but it is not probable that he had, as Mr. Eiken bary is a man accustomed to traveling and is not likely to be caught that way. Firemen Arrive. From Tuesday's Daily. Among the firemen arrivals last even ing by No. 2, from the west, the Yorks were conspicious for their special car bearing in large letters "Geo. F. Corco ran," whil? the Kearney's bore the sug gestive inscription, "Kearney Running Team." All the arrivals wore handsome badges designating the towns and teams to which they belong, and were met at the.depot by the local reception commit tee, and were assigned their respective hotels for the three days of the tourna ment. All are in for a royal good time, and they are sure to have it, for Platts mouth is going to prove herself second to none in the entertainment of the Nebras ka Volunteer Firemen. Married. Ball-Urwin. At the court house, .Tune 24th, 1800, at 10 o'clock a. in., Mr. Sam uel Ball and Miss Ellen Urwin, both of LouisyiHe, Judge Ramsey officiating. The bride is the daugeter of Mr Thomas Urwin an old resident of Cass county and the groom is a prominent young man of Louisville. The Herald extends congratulations. Notice. Plattsmoulh, Neb., June 20, 1M0. All persons are hereby warned that we shall in no case be responsible for any bills contracted by any sub contractors, foremen, or other employees, unless the same be upon our written order, tf E. P. Reynolds & Co, Contractors Omaha & Southern Ry. Against Murphy. Lncoln, Neb., June 22. The red ribbon club passed resolutions denounc ing Francis Murphy for his pretended (as they say) support of temperance, while he favors high license and wlll'not say a word for prohibition. To Clertrvmen and Magistrates. To all clergymen and magistrates sol emnizing marriage under the licenses is sued by the County Judge of Cass Co., Nebraska: Your attention is directed to the Stat utes of Nebraska which require all mar riage licenses to le returned for record within three months after solemnization of the marriage, under a penalty of a fine of $ jo(), or imprisonment for not exceeding one year for each failure tc return the license. The records of thi office show that a very lartre number of licenses have never been returned ami consequently the record thereof could not be completed. These imperfect records would be absolutely valueless as eyideuce in any matter that might arise in court affecting perhaps very great and material interests. B. S, Ramsey, County Judge. Lively Scuffle. Tuesday's Daily, Just before the noon hour a lively little scuffle occurred at O'Connor's sa loon dor between Officer Kroeler and Edgar Carrell, a young man who has been doing day labor about the city. A Herald reporter was informed that Car rell, being quite well acquainted with Mr. Kroeler and somewhat under the in fluence of liquor, addressed him in a manner common in such company, but applying to him an epithet which seemed to grate upon the officers dignity, when he siezed Carr.-ll and made an effort to hustle him out at the door, but the un willingness of Carrell tn be led, caused the officer to summon help and finally to be escorted to the jail. A Serious Wound. Louisville Courier Journal. As Mrs. A. Buskirk was trimming the weeds out of the doorway Thursday, her little two year old son ran in front of the sythe. The blade inflicted a bad gash in the calf of the leg. Dr. Robinson sewed up the wound and the child is doing well. From Tuesday, Ua'ly, Miss Eva Verigg, of Central City, is in the city the guest of Miss Hattie Latham. Chas. Leach, manager of Frank Car ruth's store at McCook is in the city at tending the firemen's tournament. Misses Kittie Russell and Nettie Jamer sou, of Weeping Water, came in last evening to visit friends and relatives. Mr. "Toot" Traver, of Central City, is in the city to attend the tournament and visit with his cousin, Engineer Traver Mrs. M M. Wiley and daughter, Lottie, of Three Grove, departed last evening for an extended visit among friends in Mansfield, Ohio. The Heiald is pleased to note that the little 10 months babe of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Wise is much improved after sev eral days serious illness. Superintendent Cooke has given out the population of Lincoln, which is the first city in Nebraska to give in her cen sus complete. The total as footed up is 53,902. Mrs. Breed, of Hastings, who has been visiting in Milwaukee, stopped over on her way home and is visiting with the family of Ben Hempel. She is accom panied by a Miss Cole, of Milwaukee. Notwithstanding the oppressive heat today, the city has been crowded with strangers and farmers attending the cir cus and the firemen's tournament. This afternoon at 3 o'clock the thermometer registered 110 in the shade. Owing to the extremly hot weather and the amount of work the Firemen have in hand, they determined at their meeting l ist night to abandon the Grand Fire men's Bill, announced in their program to occur tonight. Mr. Silas Clemmons, real estate and loan agent of Beaver City has been in the city and county for a week returning home last evening. Mr. C reports crop prospects excellent throughout Furnas county, and times looking up. Rev. Geo R. Murray took his depart ure last evening for Thomas, Washing ton county, Pa., where he will fill the pulpit of the Pnjs byterian church. Key. Murray leaves a host of friends in this city and count, and especially his con gregation at the village bearing his name so faithfully and efficiently has he served them as pastor for many years. The closing entertainment of St John's school, will take place in the opera house on tomorrow evening, June 25th. It will be a grand treat for those who will avail themselves of the opportunity to see those well trained children going through the different numbers of a beau tiful program. Reserved seats are only 35 cents and unreserved 25. All are most respectfully invited, entertainment commences at 8 o'clock. 2t Mr. John Seaburn, brother of Mrs. P. L. Wise, after several days' visit with the families of P. L. and W. S. W ise, started for his home last evening at La Grange. Ind. Mr. Seaburn is a well-to- do "Hoosier" farmer, and feared that should he remain longer in the city of Plattsmouth he would become so at tached to the people that he might not feel so contented when returning to hoosierdom.

Per ry, is lying very low at her residence, she has not retained any food for seven weeks and cannot last much longer. John II. Becker overheated himself hauling hay last week which came very near being fatal. Geo. Merkel, the carpenter had his pockets picked one night last week by one who has done the trick before. Tramps are getting too numerous and bold and if there is any law in this state to check them it ought to be enforced, and if not there ought to be one put there by the next legislature to protect peaceable citizens from the abuse of brutes. E. W. Potter, the postmaster at Elm i Creek, Neb., says he has personal knowl edge of several cases of rheumatism in that vicinity that have been permanently cured by Chamberlains' Pain Balm after other remedies were used without bene fit. He has sold it at his drug stor there for five years and says lie never knew it to fail, that "any cus-omer who once uses Chamberlain's Pain Balm will have nothing else instead."
