    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.

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. .
