Mike Shirk returned last night from
Kansas City and Hannibal, Mo.,safe and
mind where he made arrangements to
supply his customers in this city with the
Kieet Missouri coal to be found in the
market.
Mrs. Frank Brinkman, residing near
he brick school house west of town fell
3rfm a load of hay yesterday and dislo
cated her arm. A Plattsmouth physician
was called and she was soon fixed out as
comfortably as possible.
Mrs. Agnes Cole, widow of the late
Shadrach Cole, is erecting a nice cettage
iK-wVA. with a 14x14 wins, just across
the road south of Mr. Doud's place,
where she expects to make her home.
Rev. Mapes is doing the carpenter work
which insures a good job.
The non. Jas. E. Boyd and party from
Omaha have been tendered the courtesy
of the Waterman Opera House by the
management, and the party will occupy

Bowers minstrel performance, where our
citizens can see the popular candidate
for governor on the democratic ticket.
(in to the minstrels tonieht and witness
a fine performance-
Frank Gillespie residing on John
Becker's farm, better known as the Crab
tree place, lost his stable containing two
sets of harness, and a corn crib which
rrtntftined all the corn he had, by fire
yesterday afternoon. The fire is sup
posed to have been set oat by his little
fiva rear old bov. with matches. It is a
very unfortunate affair for Mr. Gillespie,
aa well as Mr. Becker who owned the
buildings.
jp. Youg can secure the Hess grand
opera company, consisting of sixty peo
ple, for Monday. September 29, if our
amusement-loving people will manifest
enough interest and give the opera house
management the proper encouragement
to secure this great attraction by sub
scribing for a sufficient number of
ticket. This company plays at the
Coates opera house thi week and at
Boyd's in Omaha October 2, 3 and 4.
They will appear in the very latest opera
if they come here.
A Hebaxd reporter is informed by J.
P. Young that the Standerd opera com
pany which was to appear here-September
24, their had engagement canceled by
J.P . Young, upon a letter received from
G. W. Minor, manager of the Grand
opara house, saying that the company
was very poor and gaye a very unsatis
factory performance and that he had
.closed the house and canacled the entire
week, so Mr. Young went to Omaha yes
terday and canceled the date. Our citi
zens can always rely upon good com
panies coming to the Waterman, unless
the management is deceived by misrep
resentations, as Mr. Minor was in this
opera company.

A FINANCIAL. SUCCESS.
Large Crowd Is In Attendance at
the Fair Today.
While the wind doe. not add anything
to the comfjrt of those in attendance,
large crowd has been in attendance at
9
the fair today. The stock exhibits are
not large but we notice some very fine
Polled Angus, Holateins and Red Polled
cattle on the ground, with some exceed
ingly fine horses . The imported Clydes
dale owned by Mr. Hogan of Elmwood
is indeed a magnigcent animal. Jones
& Fitzgerald's stable shows some stock
that will be hard to beat. Their trotter,
the brown colt Joe F., is a promising
animal and contains the best blood in
the country.

Ten varieties of potatoes are well rep
resented.

Mike Schnellbacher had one of his I
home made wagons on the ground that
beats all the factory made stuff in the
country.
The booths taken by Fred Herrmann
and Dovey & Son contained nothing
which marred the beauty of the hall
very nreh.
Fifteen hundred tickets have been sold
at the fair today, besides the family
tickets, which is more than ever before
up to this time.
V. V. Leonard had probably the nic
est show on the gronnd; he occupied two
booths and showed splendid tasts in
their arrangement.
Lena i nomas mis one booth very
beautifully with paintings and fancy
work, a crayon picture of Grandpa Todd
attracting much attention.

A 2:40 pacing race, and a free for all

the state fair. Among them are three
crops of Moore's Early picked from one
vine this Beason.
The exhibits of V. V. Leonard, II,
Boeck, Boeck & Walker, I Pearlman and
I many others are artistically arranged in

pearance to the large crowd continually
passing in and out.

The agaicultura! and horticultural
displays are more than ordinary. Tliir
teen hundred ears of corn are on exhibi

50 ears of corn which he calls 13 inch
corn, not a sin trie ear of which is less
than 12 inches long. Fifty ears of large
white corn represents the thirty-fifth crop

In addition to the oratorical talent
available in Nebraska, the committee
have the positive promise of Speaker
Reed and Congressman Burrows that
they will assist in the campaign by the
deliyery of several speeches.
Senators Manderson and Paddock
will lend a helping hand before the
campaign closes, and the prospects are
decidedly favorable, Mr. Watson says,
for a red-hot time and a reusing victory
all along the line.
High School Notes.
We think of importing a musical direct
or to arrange an air to which we can handle
the dumb bells. El Ruffner objects to
pupils humming John Brown, and I
guess it will have to be changed to please
Ed as we could not do without him,
and he might emigrate if we persisted in
the matter.
The study of astronomy is growing in
interest. Prof. Ilalsey and his class,
with many visitors, have made several
visits to the hih school this week to
gaze on those far distant worlds, and
all go home highly pleased. Mr. Halsey
thoroughly understands the study and a
lecture from him is certainly ingtructive.

She is among our best and we think that

Miss Fulmer has charge of the dinner
room this week and the pupils eat their
dinner in the house. Last week they all
took to the woods: Miss Safford was in
charge.
Miss Sampson has charge of Room 4
this week, in the absence of the regular
teacher.
Miss Edna Adams teaches in No. 15

Miss Hemple retained the banner this

Young married man, as soon as yoa
can buy such a place, even if you have
to put on it a mortgage reaching from
base to capstone. The mnrli 1
mortgage whicli is ruin to the reckless
man. to one prudent and provident is
the beginning of a competency and a
fortune, for the reason he will not be sat

household are put on strictest economy
until then. Deny yourself all superflui
ties and all luxuries until you can say:

his great battles by an attacked of indi

wrestle with the food swallowed that
they have no strength left for the battle
of life; and though your wife may know
bow to play all musical instruments and
rival a prima dona, she is not well 'edu
cated unless she can boil an Irish potato
