of black powder and 150 pounds
of giant powder were used, producing
an explosion which fairly made the
mountains tremble, and displaced many

literally buried under the debris, ana

Janet, the fair hostess, spared no pains
to make everybody have a jolly time,
and they had it. The table was beauti
filly decorated and thej souvenirs were
tea cups tied with pink ribbon. In the
evening they were joined by Kittie Cum

Hon. James Hall, one of Casa county'a

Billy McCarthy of this city, and a

yesterday in Council Bluffs to Miss Etta

ble lady will begin housekeeping in this
city within a few days.
Remember "The Fireman's Ward" is
not a long five act drama, nor is it a
senseless farce comedy, but has sufficient
sentiment to make the comedy element
all the more acceptable, while the latest
songs, dances, etc., are given in each act
to giye life and action to the performance.
Why don't this town brace up and help
Mr. Fred Schrocder of Cedar Creek, a
first class, reliable miller to put in large
roller mills. Lafe O'Neill offers to do
more than his share by donating the
ground. Now let business men take an
interest and push the enterprise to the
front and let the jack knife and orioide
watch shi-rks take a back seat, but let the
men of faith in Plattsmouth who have
made their money out of the town come
up and do something.
The local page of a Nebraska City
paper comes to us full of rare and choice
matter. We give below the titles of all
the articles on that page of yesterday's
paper: Startling Discovery; They all
failed; Bradfield's regulator; Masks and
Faces; Consumption; A Lady in Texas
Writes; Husband, I Want to try it; You
Take no Risk; nappy Meeting of two
Friends; 1 Fortunate Woman; A Mys
terious Disappearance, etc. The partic
ular reason we mention the above fact is
because the articles are all patent medi
cine advertisements, which Plattsmouth
people do not consider as news. It seems
however to work all right in Nebraska
City. "
Another Railroad.
It is not generally known but it is a
fact that a surf eying party has for sev
eral days been making a careful survey
of a linn of road from King hill, whici
is a high point on the river two. miles be
low Rock Bluffs, on west through Old
ham's and the old Dimmit Cole section,
keeping well up on the divide and mak
ing no curve whatever. Lew Cole was
in town last night and said it was sup
posed down there to be the Diagonal
people, though nothing definite was
known except that some parties were sur
veying a route for a railroad. He says
they cut down timber or corn if it came
in the way of their line and that they
seemed in a great hurry, bnt what their
destination was no one could tell.
A couple of boys who had been driv
ing their cows to pasture, while returning
home wre running their horses. Mrs.
Will Baumeister was driving along the
bottom in her buggy with some grapes
she expected to market, when one of the
horses struck the hind wheel of the bug
gy with great 'force, upsetting the vehicle
and throwing Mrs. Baumeister to the
ground in such a way as to bruise her up
in a very painful manner though fortu
nately no bones were broken. The bug
gy was not injured and Mrs. B. was taken
home where she will probably remain for
a few days.
B. & M. Taxe9.
The following facts regarding the taxes
paid by the B. & M. railroad we glean
from the records . The sum paid is enor
mous, and notwithstanding the popular
cry against corporations we frankly say
that no kind of property is taxed higher
and no taxes are paid more promptly
than those of the B. & M. The follow
ing table shows the tax for 1890 as levied
for the different funds:
State and county $9,597 76
Road tax, outside Platts and WW cities 1.201 08
School district tax. same 2.380 90

CoL Tiebald, of Omaha, Will Cush
ing's "mascot,' was in the city today.
After a careful estimate and a personal
visit to about fifty counties, he assures us
that Cushing's majority will be at little
over 10,000 in the state. nd that 25,
000 will be about the majority against
the amendment. Dave McEntee got so
enthusiastic when he heard the news
about Cushing that he swore off on
Cleveland and says Cushing is his choice
for president from now on.
Begining Sept. 1. we commenced cut-tin-r

must be all closed out by January 1,

A Pleasant Time. .
The following account of a good time
was crowded out of our yesterday's issue:
The social eiven by the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Christian church, at, the
home of Mr. Ed Todd, west of the cjty,
Thursday night, was well'attended, there
being over 100 persons from the city
alone, besides the many neighbors of Mr.
Todd.
The society tender their many thanks
to all those present, for th ir assistance,
and especially to Liverymen Fitzgerald,
Holmes and Parmele for conveyance.
The reception given by Mr. and Mrs.
Todd can not be fitly described, as they
opened up everything that might be de
sirtd by a party of this kind to have a
pleasant, time, and even invited those
present to visit the pantry, and partake
of the many delicacies, the extent and
amount of which are not to be excelled;
and the amount it took to satisfy the
appetite of those present can only be im
agined by considering the capacity of
the leaders, Messrs. Mayor Richey, Com
missioner Todd, Eiam Parmele and Clerk
Critchfield.
Everybody pronounced it a roost
pleasant time, and will always remember
the unlimited efforts of Mr. and Mrs.
Todd, to make those present enjoy them
selves. Onk Piiesent.
Ever since the new clerk of the su
preme court;took possession of his office
there has been a great deal of speculation
as to who would be his deputy. There
were a numner of aspirants for the place,
which is embellished with a salary of
$1,700 and is not to be sneezed at as a
fat situation. Mr. Campbell has had
charge of his clerkship for two months
now and matters have sailed along so
smoothly with Mr. William B. Rose as
acting deputy that Mr. Campbell arrived
at the conclusion that h) was a pretty
good man for the place. Just when the
clerk reached the conclusion it is difficult
to surmise, but yesterday morning Mr.
Rose was apprised of his appointment as
deputy clerk. No one has been heard
taking any exceptions to the appoint
ment, as the gentleman selected has been
in the clerk's office for two years and is
thoroughly competent. Further than
that, he is a genial, mild-mannered, ac
commodating gentleman whe is well
liked by those with whom he comes in
contact. Lincoln Journal.
Do not be mislead, but call on Boeck
& Walker if in need of a stove of any
kind. Call in any time you are down
town and if they can't prove to you they
have the best stove in the city you will
be much nearer a corpse than you desire.
The Century Plant.
W. J. Ilesser came in last evening with
a lot of fine plants and among the other
things, we noticed the veteran house
mover, Walter White, with a big century
plant which is more than 15 feet high
and is over 50 feet in circumference.
The plant was nicely packed and with
the wagon weighed nearly two and a half
tons. The plant has been in Mr. Ilesser's
possession for oyer 23 years and was not
a young plant when he got it, he having
purchased it of John Y. Teas, the great
hoosier nurseryman and in all probabili
ty it is not over 40 years of age, it is ex
pected to bloom this year; it may not do
so yet it has that appearance. Mr. Iles
ser had refused to move the great agave
again but when the state fair manage
ment offered him $150 to bring it up he
could not withstand the tempting offer.
It will be one of the greatest attractions
on the grounds.
Mart Buttery and Fred Egenberger ere
sprinters, and when they put $5 00 up
to go to the winner, everybody thought
they were going to see the record cut
way down so low that it would not be
reached again during the century: but,
alas, Fred flew the track for some trivial
reason and the race was declared off.
much to the disgust of the crowd.
Later: About 10 o'clock last night
the race was fixed for again and this
time it was a go . The boys were in poor
condition at this late hour, the track
was slow so that Egenberger won on an
easy canter, running the 100 yards in
fi.ur minutes. Buttery clawed the air
and tore up the dirt but to no purpose.
Fred took the stakes and the crowd ad
journed to irrigate at Fred's expense.
Yesterday morning chief of police
Wheeling got word from Plattsmouth to
look out for -a man about 5 feet 7 inches
tall and sandy mustache, as he had stolen
a horse from Plattsmouth, and rode it to
Union and left it. He then stole a suit
of clothes at the latter place and left, go
ing down the road. A man answering
the description was arrested here yester
day afternoon and now lays in jail. He
gave his name as Chas. Mason and said
he had just come from Weeping Water
The sheriff of Cass county said that the
man he wanted had been working for a
man named Johnson just north of Weep
ing Water. The officers will be here to
day to identify the man and take him
back.
Latek Deputy Sheriff Tighe came
