WEEKLY HERALD : PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 18 1890 High School Notes. From Thursday's Dally. New pupils ere coming in each day and there is now about 500 enrolled in the central building. Room No. 13 baa 78 pupils enrolled making it the largest school in the city. Miss Nannie Moore held the rein in South Park. She U a bright, pleasant and successful teacher and the patrons of that building can rest assured that the training of the youth is in competent hands. Visitors to room two should notice the oil painting on the wall, it is certainly grand, to draw it mild. Miss Grewsel in doing good work in No. 1, her methods of teaching are first class and she will make one of our best teachers. Visitors to our schools do not want to think that our teachers are old because some of them are grey headed. Orey hair in this day and age of tue world are tokens of honor and not of age. Edna Adams is in our schools faith fully at work. She was one of. the brightest among last years graduating class and thinks that Plattsmouth schools are good enough for her even after graduation. Mrs. Hfdsey is the teacher in the 8th grade. She is giving good satisfaction and is a very intelligent lady. Pupils of that grade are highly elated over their teacher and well they might be. A few of the boys are inclined to play truant and a word to the wise should be sufficient. Don't persist in this for if poudoyou will get into trouble. Our superintendent means what he says and he will have no pupil in the ranks of that knd. When you are sent to school be sure you come and make a man of yourself. Prof. Halsey and his pupils were at the building Tuesday evening taking a viev. ' Jupiter and its moons through the tcl.b. "M-.r?y all went home well pleased they saw. The Prof, will sparo no eflort to make our schools a success and his efforts in that line are commendable and by the way we have a ; fine telescope. Come up some evening and take a look at the stars. The experiments in chemistry are all a success. Prof. McClelland thoroughly understands the best methods of teach- 1 ing that important study. When the class gets to natural history it is hoped that some ' of the boys will bring a rat. Experiments of this kind in the past have been both amusing and instructive. When our citizens realize the fact that discipline must be maintained in order to have successful schools, just that soon j. .rents will cease to find fault with our t fichers when it becomes necessary to punish, teachers never punish without cause. Parents ju a rule think their children perfect and tlrt they can nut do wrong. This is human nature the world over. Just pause and reflect on this boys are boys the same as in days of yore and you should know how it is yourself. Clara Wilson. II. C. McMaken and wife and Mrs. G. W. Fairfield are at the fair today. Lawn Wilts begun his school year at Cotner University at Lincoln today. Will Holmes and wife and Gust Holmes were visitors to the state fair to day. The republican is knockiog democracy out in Wyoming today at their first state election. Sol Osborh on Monday purchased Jas. Rieger's residence and twro lots on Win teistein Hill. Charles W. Sherman, Esq., editor ot the PLittsmouth Journal, tore away from his friends this morning to take in the state fair. A pickpocket with a coat over his arm tried to work M. B. Murphy last night coming down on the train but our Mike was too flossy for him. The villian got in his work cn another party however and secured five or six dollars just as the train pulled into Omaha and escaped into the darkness. The box rent receipts at the postoffice uuder the careful management of Mr. Streight, for August of thi3 year, shows an increase of $00 over the receipts for the same ' month last year. This would indicate that about 200 more boxes are being used by the patrons of the office. The many friends of Lou Vallery nee Nieman will be glad to know that her condition is improving, though it ap pears very tedious. It requires two ladies to care for her, yet if careful nurs ing is of any moment she will certainly recover. Sol Osborn is just finishing a nice two story cottage 27x30 for W. N. McLennan in South Park. It will be one of the nicest residences in that part of the city. He also has in course of erection a neat two story residence for Fred Ramge 26x 23, just north of Capt. Bennett's, and a two story and a half addition with base ment for Mr. Lleyellyn Moore to the family residence in the second ward. That hacking cough can be bo quickly cured by Shiloh's cure. We guarantee it. For sale by F. G. Fricke and O. H. Snyder 1 The Independent Easrle. Is the name of the re-christened organ of the people's party that will be owned and operated to the tune of L. O. Todd's $."500 by that old stalwart republican II. G. Race of Weeping Water. The Her ald believes that the alliance as an or ganization is a most excellent thing, and that it will be of great benefit to the farmers, but in order to receive any good results the political hack must be re legated to the rear. The promotion of worn out politicians will not gain them any prestige or be of any practical value. Hon. J. M. Patterson's watch mysteri ously die ipp ared while he was asleep on the train last night, but his loss did not trouble him, he knew the crowd he was with and when W. D. Jones returned the time piece the laugh was not on Mr, Patterson although there were genuine pick pockets on the train. Geo W. Sheafer the new secretary of Hih V. M a. A. made the Herald a pleusant call today. Mr. Sheafer is a young man full of life and vigor and with an apparent desire to do some good work in this field and we shall be dissapointed if he does not succeed. Miss Lida Patterson entertained a large company of her friends last evening in honor of her guest, Miss Lucy Wolcott. The spacious parlors of the Patterson mansion were thrown open and brightly illuminated for the occasion. The even ing was partly spent in social converse and in games and charades. Miss Fulmer took the prize among the ladies as being the best talker in a four minute contest, while Will Streight , Henry Gering and John Daviea were i tie in a like contest among the gentlemen. Fun and merri ment ruled the hour until refreshments selected with splendid taste were served to a crowd that could and did appreciate the many good things set before them. At a late hour the company broke up feeling that a real social success had been achieved and thoroughly appreci ate'!, From Friday Daily. W bite & Black will buy red, white or green apples and pay the highest market price. Why is Sherman like a turnip? All answers may be addressed, Agricultural Editor of the Herald. The new Horn church out in the Good win neighborhood will be dedicated next Surday, a nice time is anticipated. White and Black have purchased over 3,500 bushels of apples at 75 cents per bushel, They have received two car loads of barrels and will soon be ready to make their shipment. The arch on lower Main street came down yesterday . Frank Morrison ap peared to be the man in charge and should at once, in the absence of any thing better, be presented with the free dom of the city. Jim Antill took the first premium at the state fair with his candy exhibit over all the big wholesale men. He will open up a first class factory for the man ufacture of a fine line of confectionary in this city within a few days. Seyeral important weddings are book ed for the latter part of this and the first part of next month. The first one will probably take place about the 2otJi of September of which the Herald will have more to say later on. A party of men or a hand car attempt ed to keep up with the M. P. passenger train when it was leaving the depot at Louisville Monday afternoon. They struck a switch before going far that sent them spinning in every direction. None of them were seriously hurt The Rock Island Railroad Co seem to be pushing their new Lincoln line along rapidly, at Louisville the grade on the north side of the river is done, piles drove for the bridges and ties strung out on the grade. That is how it looks to passengers on the M. P. as they pass along. Weeping Water Eagle. Pulled Their Purses. State Journal. As the crowds were coming from the ball game on Tuesday the wife of alocal traveling man had her pocket picked of a purse containing about $12.50 on a street car. A runaway attracted the at tention of the passengers in the car and the lady took pains to push the pocket book partially in under her, but some thief nipped it in spite of this precau tion. Yesterday afternoon Allen Coleman of Weeping Water was going to the lair grounds on the Standard line and had two pockets picked. From one his watch was taken, and from the other his pocketbook containing $5 and his pen sion check for $24, payable to his own order. Some time checks on a stone quarry were also taken. He hopes the thief will be unable to cash the check ere he can stop the payment at Wash ington. Miss Stella Traver will leave this eve ning for Union where she has been en gaged to teach the fall term of school in school district No. 12, one mile and a half nortb-east of Union. Race Has Flopped, weeping Water Republican During the eventful carreer of the Eagle under the present management it has at times descended as it were from its lofty perch on the topmost bough of the giant oak, and has been found on the fence. Ot late it has been ustride the pickers. But all this time a wither te has been c.peu looking for soiu.-thin in thc distune. At 1 ;st tlmiorg ;:r -yhv.i (a feathered nest) has been discovered. On Saturday last for a consideration Editor Race pledged his intluenne, sup port and other appurtenance, enumerated as chattels connected with the establish ment. to the independent party, and the old bird will be drawn off of the fence this week. The republican ticket will come down from the mast head whero it has been seen so long, and on top of the independent ticket where it hns floated since our contemporary has been on b.'th sides of the fence. The independent ticket will climb a round higher and will occupy the honored position formerly held by the republican ticket. After this the people will know where to find the Eagle in political matters, an advantage to its patrons that will be ap preciated. The Eagle will assume n new form come out in new clothes, and will be printed on a new press. The party we are told, loans Mr. Rice $000 and takes a mortgage. This may be termed an in dependent paper but how can a man be independent wben bound by such ties? The Republican has only good wishes for the financial success of the enterprise and hopes the paper may be a blessing at the world . The delusion so tenderly hugged by an ancient citizen of Plattsmouth, and shared by many others, to the effect that the B. & M. had stopped building their shops at Hayelock, was only of fleeting turn. It vanished with the next breeze from the west. W. W. Enerle. Fooled again Mr. Eagle, you probably took your cue from the Journal of this city which would print something against 1(3 home town rather th?m own up that the Herald was the newspaper of this city. The statements made in the Herald were true, and on Wednesday not a doz'-n men were employed on the great shops(?) where near a hundred were employed in the start. This looks like quite a fall down to a disinterested person. J. Barrett, of the old Camp Cro?k neighborhood, is now living in Lincoln with his family to school the children. haying rented his fine farm. A. Hastie's stolen hogs, after rcmain- lns in tlm Lincoln stock yards tour weeks, gained 00 pounds nt, advanced 30 cents per hundred and made him money on 75 cent corn ElmwoodEcho. Plattsmouth is organizing a mounted police force. The mounts will be on jack asses. The Plattsmouth Journal says that this is to be a fact. We give the b ove news for what it is worth, but would suggest that if they are not a success,-to try Sherman a whirl. W. W. Eagle. M. L. Thomas, an old settler of Cnss county, having been raised partly on the old Livingston ranch which for years was the first house west of Four Mile creek on the old freight road, after start ing six or eight newspapers in the west ern part of the state, has recently re moved to Lincoln where he has pur chased a job printing office and may be found at home to his Cass county friends. As Johnny Fitzpatrick came shivering up through the rain from the depot this morning his eagle eye caught the appa rition of a man in a store eating a water melon; Johnny was about to have a con gestive chill when he hailed the aston ished young man with the remark, "I ought to arrest ye's, and if it were not for your mother's bein' a woman I'de do it too." The crowd laughed and John passed on up the street with the remark that a man who would eat watermelons as cold a day as this ought to have the ague every day for ten years. As a sample of the condition of the down trodden farmer that according to the Journal gets poorer every day, our attention was called to the fine 2.500 residence being built for Will Wagner three miles south east of Louisville. About twelve years ago Will was a farm hand, today he owns as nice a half sec tion of land as there is in the county highly improved and well stocked. He has in his cribs over 3,000 bushels of old corn and other grain in proportion, and what is more he doesn't owe a dollar. If the fellow who works his mouth try ing to breed discontent talking about farm mortgages etc. would work with his hands he too might grow rich . The race is to the man who labors and saves his means, he does not need to be a spec ulator. . Married. Wiswell, Pleatherly.
