It U known that the one dispatched by Marshal Arch r ca.no in contact with several of the other cogs of the town, and who knows but that he lnmself . but harbori.. at his door a wo.thhss cur that may in a moment fiy mad and bite some number of his family. We can see some Bcr.se in farmers keeping a dog about the premise, to chase the p. drive up the cows etc but what particular need there .s for this city to be over ,un with them pas.es our comprehension. Kill thun at once and abate the nuisance. The B & M- lni1 bo'a dl3COUrsed some very tine music at the tabernacle last evening, before the services began, anuwereIiste-edtobyala.ee and ap preciatiye audience. After the baud music some very nice pieces of mus.e were rendered by the choir with an organ accompaniment. Col. Denwree then took the plutform and delivered some sledge-hammer blows at the liquor traffic, showing by the fairest kind of fair reasoning that the license policy a bad one and that this state can not af ford to perpetuate the liquor business by ,ntering into p-rtnerShip with the aaloon keeper and making u division of the profits with him. The jolly k followed with an address peculiar to himself keeping the audience m the best of humor all the way through his eloquent appeal for temperance . It v, as announc ed last evening that the afternoon meet ings would for the ..resent be abandoned except at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon which will be childn n's day. It announced that Saturday evening al.irty of Omaha would be present to favor the audience with vocal music. Heating capacity of the tabernacle was too small for the large audience in attendance last evening, but will be increased today, so that none need be afraid to go tonight for fear they might have to stand. Prohibition D-n't Prohibit in Iowa. From Fridays Daily. Well here is the way they do it at Glenwood. Whether it prohibits or cot ic doesn't seem to be very proBtable. George and John Domar and Allen Lindsey, proprietors of the new package aaloon, were arrested Tuesday evening on the charge of having bought a pack age of liquors from the package house of J. 3. Moore & Co. They appeared before Esquire Tolles yesteiday morning and plead guilty to the charge and were fined 50 apiece and costs. As they com menced business on Saturday and had only run three days this firm will hardly lind the business profitable. Reunion of Odd Fellows. A cordial invitation is extended to all odd fellows of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas andMissouii to be in attendance at this reunion to be held at Plattsmouth, August 12 and 13, 1S00. This will be one of the greatest gatherings of odd fellow's ever assemble d Tn the west. No effort will be spared to make it the btst reunion ever held in the country.

John Daniels made complaint ia po lice court this morning against Al Bur ns fer disturbing the camprueet.ng last nigLt and trial was set for 2 o clock this p, ru. The Garden party for ebildren, given by the ladies of St. Luke'H Guild at the residence of Mr. R. R. Livingston, be tween the hours of 3 and 8 o'clock last cyeuing, was quite largely attended, the yard and grounds being filled with young ladies and children. A splendid time is reported. The lawn social given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church at the residence of Mrs. J. P. Young last evening was a grand success. The beautiful lawn was well lighted up with Chinese lanterns and tables were set under the trees where refreshments iu the shape of ico cream and cake were served. A num ber of parties furnished 6ome excellent music and everybody enjoyed themselyes. Last night at 10:30 o'clock, Mrs. Agnew received a message from Lincoln announc ing the sudden death of her husband, W. J. Agnew, at 9:30 p. m. Mr. Sam At -wood, brother in-law af Mr. Agnew, was telegraphed at Crete and immediately went to Lincoln. Mrs. Agnew departed for Lincoln this morning, and is ex pected to return on the flyer this evening with the body. The order of Knights of Pythias will haye charge of the funeral but as yet the time is not set. If Harry G. Race, of Cass county, tees the Journal has him down as assistant secretary of the late democratic congres sional convention at Lincoln, 'ow the Heaulo will scream in. tones of horror. We have been treated to such political freaks round about the Weeping city within the lst few years that we were half way inclined to credit the Journal's report of the convention, and mark the Eagle, '-Flopped." But this week's is sue is on our table, with both republican state and county tickets at the masthead, aud the editor says it is a good strong ticket, and a sure winner. So we con clude it is just one of those li ;tle blund ers of the Journal's and that Mr. Race is st: 11 aboard f the old republican ship and will r.nder valuable aid in piloting her through another victory this fall. 'Tis not long since we were called upon to mourn the loss of enr young friend, II. 1). Travis, of that city, who deserted us and went over to the enemy in order to supply that party, with the suitable timber for county attorney; then to be confronted with the astounding fact that Brother Race had been made assistant secretary of a democratic convention without any notice whatever, we thought at least that new-born poli ticians were being speedily utilized. W. B. Shryock, of Louisville, is in the city today. Mrs. C. II. Picken9 wa3 a morning passenger to Omaha. Mrs. D. A. Campbell was a morning passenger to Lincoln. Attorney Byron Clark is in Omaha to day on legal business. Dr. Miller, of Eight Mile Grove, is in the city on business today. Mrs. Stadlemann and Miss Kate were p.HSsengers to the metropolis this morning. Misses May and Ella Eikenbary de parted this morning for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Eikenbary at South Oma ha. Miss Kittie Russell, who has been visit ing her sister, Mrs. A. B. Knotts, will re turn to her home this evening at Weep ing Water. Mr. and Mrs. Tim' thy Clark returned last evening from Hot Springs, South Dakota, feeling quite well and more than pleased with their trip. Have yoo seen that patent door strip that Mr. C. S. Twiss is handling? It is a complete thing, and no one owning a house can afford to do without it. Mr?. Iligginsen, sister of Mrs. Drum mond, departed last evening with her children, and Miss Lula White for her home in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gillett's infant sou died of cholera infantum at Pacific Junc tion last night, and Rev. H. B. Burgess was called to conduct the funeral servi ces today. Miss Anna Russell, who has been work ing in this office several months, severed her connction with it last evening, and will return to hcrhr mea t Weeping Water this evening. The following cases were disposed of by Judge Ramsey yesterday: W. L. Browne vs. Plattssmouth Street Railway Co. Trial to court and taken under advisement until August 7th at 2 o'clock p. m. W. L. Browne fcr plain tiff and Judge Sullivan for defendant. Daniel A. Wheeler vs. Wm. M. Slaughter, tried to court and taken under advisement until August 7th at 2 o'clock p. in. W. L. Browne and D. II. Wheeler far plaintiff, Polk Bros, for defendant. Peter Merges and Dr. Marshall vs. Es tate of F. W. Baunieister. Claim of Dr. Marshall allowed less credit and tearing on claim of Merges contiuned until Aug ust 15, 1S00, at 10 o'clock a. ra. In the matter of the F.tate of Oscar Hagood, claim of Dr. Shipman adjusted and final settlement made of administra tor's accounts. L. B. Brown, adminis trator. In the matter of the Estate of Sarah Stevens, final settlement and decree of distiibution. Was deposed of today. W. B. Shryock, administrator. From Sa.urd ijs aily. A large nssi rnbly greeted the speakers at the tabernacle last night. Some excellent temperance songs were rendered by the choir. Rev. J. T. Baird was called to the platform, and opened the meeting with fervent prayer for the success of temperance and right. Col. Demaree then opened the query box, and proceeded In a very respectful way to answer the various questions deposited in the box, commenting at length upon some of them, and others receiving but brief notice, but evidently to the satisfaction of all querists save one "smart Elleck" who felt his ability to both ask and answer his question. How a man can get the consent of his mind to go to a public meeting, and expose his ignorance by at tempting a reply to the speaker who has the sole right to speak upon that occasion, unless an invitation is directly extended to some other, passes our comprehension entirely. Two nights this has been unsuccessful ly attempted at the temperance meetings, and each time the disturbers have been completely squelched by the orators, who have not yet found it necessary to revoke the aid of the officers, which they have a perfect right to do to prevent disorder. The talks by both speakers last night were well received by the au dience. At 3;30 this afternoon will be held a meeting for the children. To night the prohibition question will be considered from a pecuniary standpoint. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 there will be services and also Sunday night. Mr. Sobieski has consented to dc-liyer one lect'ure while here on simply Poland. A special feature of the meeting tonight will be the noted lady singer of Omaha. Mr. W. S. Sproatt, one of the leading business mea and banker of Corydon, Iowa, returned home this morning after a visit with his friend Joe Klien of this city. Mr. Sproatt was a delegate at largo to the democratic convention which nominated Grover Cleveland the second time for the presidency. This office laments today the absence of one of its chief necessities, namely ChasM alias, Capt. Rhode. The last seen of the gallant Charles yesterday eyening he was heading Weeping Waterward. His absence is much felt in this office, and a favor will be conferred if some one will forward him to this den at once. E. A. Stopher, of Elmwood, republi can candidate for the legislature was in the city last evening renewing old ac quaintances, and forming new ones. Mr. Stopher is a man of excellent qualities, and at once impresses one that he is a straight forward, earnest, common sense man whose acquaintance it i3 a pleasure to form. The Oddfellows reunion has all indi cations to be the largest gathering ever held in this state. Omaha and Council Bluffs have reported four or five nundred strong with cantons and several bands. All business men should see to make such arrangements in front of their places of business that would be a credit to them. The city council should a:so see that ample arrangements be made for water to drink, so that the visitors should not suffer for water while in our town. Chas. C. Kneisly, secretary of the Provident Savings Loan and Building Association, of Omaha, was in the city yesterday transacting business pertain ing to that institution. This association if formed for the purpose of assisting it3 members in procuring homes by furnish -ing them cheap money with which to build houses, and no man can afford to live in a rented house, when he can pro cure building funds upon the terms of fered by this institution. Our fellow townsman Jas. Pcttee is the local repre sentative of the association. Last evening a pleasant surprise party was given in honor of Miss Alice Murray at the home of her parents, about three miles south west of town. , A pleasant time was had by all. The usual games were played after which refreshments were served. The party disbanded at a late hour. Following are the names of those who were present: Tom Miller, Roy McElwain, Glenn Carrnth, Louis Vallery, John Wright, Charley Rhode. Will Graham, Henry Snyder, Ellis Evans, Charley Vallery, Nelson Murray, Charlie Sullivan, Ilallie Johnson, Guy Vander voort, Mattie Smith, Lottie Cooper, Bessie Gyger, Ethel Alexander, Sue Mathews, Tillie Vallery, Tony Kessler, Slanota Eikenbary, Alice Eikenbary, Minnie Doane, Annie Sullivan, Rose Hyers and Jennie Cooper.

More Water. Complaint comes'to us that the street is insufficiently sprinkled these hot windy days to keep down the dust We would urge the suggestion made by the Journal, that it is of little use to sweep the dirt into heaps on the street and let it lie there to be scattered and blown about, but it should be hauled off the street, then the sprinkling 6hould be thorough during these sultry days. We don't know what tha contract is with the sprink ler, it may be that he is paid to make a specified number of trips daily over the street, and that he performs his contract to the letter, but the complaints made at this office are that the sprinkling is in sufficient.
