The editor of this paper has just re fceived an elegantly engraved invitation to the "Old Roman banquet" being a celebration of Allen G. Thurman's birth day at his home in Colu.nbu?, Ohio. lhero must have been some mistake, while we do not object to the "Old Ro man" having a birthday party, we cer tainly would not feel at home with the company of bourbons that will be pres ent on that occasion. .

The jury in the celebrated case of Os wald 15aier,adniinistrator of the estate of Katherine Baier vs the M. P.

Wat son. B. P. Wagoner, general attorney for the road, A. X. Sullivan and J. II. llaldeman appeared for the M. P.

A Serious Accident. John Finisher is an old citizen, haying been a resident of this place for oyer 30 years. This morning as he was loading a wagon with dirt (he being in the em ploy of Street Commissioner Ilemple) at the corner of 8th and Vine streets this morning, the bank, which is about S feet high, suddenly caved down on Lini and caught him in such a manner as to break the thigh bone and otherwise in jure him very seriously. He was brought down to the Nebraska House and Dr. Thede Livingston called, who dressed the fractared limb and otherwise made him as comfortable as possible. Mr. Furnisher owns a house and acre lot in Happy Hollow, where he kept house for himself. Owing to his age and other bruises, his condition ia considered crit House Last Nlsht, Fr ra FiidajV Dally A splendid audience, composed of the bebt and most intelligent class of people to be found in our city, greeted the aide exponent of a protective tariff, Hoi.. J. G. Tate, at the opra house list ev"nig. The meeting was presided over by Mayor Richey, who introduced the speaker of the evening in a few we!l chosen re marks. Mr. Tate did not begin by alms ing anyone, but in a pleasant agreeable manner he started in on what turned out to be the moi-t eloquent and convincing argument we haye heard during the cam paign. His logic was clear and his pre mises were based tn the facts that large ly came under his own personal know ledge. His telling points against the demagoeuery and lying tactics of the Omaha World-Herald werereceiyed with deafening applause. He showed how the democratic press had wantonly and by wholesale, lied about the McKiuley bill, and clinched his statements by read ing from the paptrs and then from the bill. Mr. Tate grew eloquent in show ing how this country had grown since the war, on account of the tariff, in strong contrast with what it was before the war, although enough gold had been taken out of our mines from 1848 to 1860 to have made us a rich nation; yet we were poor at the beginning of the war, and were almost without credit, and all on account of free trade, which had taken our gold out of the country to pay for the immense purchases the country was making abroad. The balance of trade had been millions against us, until the republican party in lSG'l closed the gates; and from that very day, notwith standing the natural results of a dreadful war, the country began to improve until it has stripped and outgrown eyery other nation on the face of the globe. L. G. Todd, who bubbles oyer at the slightest opportunity, took issue with Mr. Tate on some tariff point and wns invited upon the stage, where he was allowed to give his views in a rambling manner, that amounted to nothing except that the finarcinl policy was all wrong nod: he, Todd, had a sure cure for all the ills we suffer from over D-' duction of cereals by issuing greenbacks. The crowd listened good naturedly and laughed heartily at Mr. Todd's position. Mr. Tate replied in a live minute speech. completely answering every point Mr. Todd tried to make. Mr. Adams of Lin coln, was then introduced, but the hour was so late that he refused to detain the crowd, they showed a perfect willing ness to remain. All in all it was a great meeting and we believe fully and satis factorally explained the republican posi tion ou the tariff. Married . , Cobb Brown. At the Court House at Plattsmouth, October 24, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. m., Mr. Alexander J. Cobb and Miss Annie Brown were united in mar riage, Judge Ramsey officiating. W. J. Hesscr, the popular florist fruit grower of Plattsmouth, left at this office this morning a basket of fine apples and some very fine bunches of lettus. This morning's papers report a bloody race riot in Georgia. According to the latest reports, the governor has ordered cut the state militia Four men are re ported killed. $ One of the features of the G. A. R. fair to be held here November 18, 19 and 20 is the zoua7e drill by twenty young ladies who are now being drilled by Col. Ginger. It was amusing to see C. W. Sherman shake bauds with L. G. Todd, warmly congratulating him on his speech last night, saying: "we have downed 'em once and can do it again.1' The demo crats love the independents, for they think every vote for that ticket counts one for them.

It was the best raiu this year, and will greatly help the farmers in fall plowing. An old man named Hildebraud was arrested at Batriee Wednesday for pass ing a counterfeit dollar. Some one gave him the money, telling him it "was spur ious. Rey. N. L. Hoope ngarner, who sue ceeded in converting nearly two hun dred persons at the Methodist revival at Hastings, is now besieging the Btrong hold of sin at Juniata.

Agrairic fy-e swept over a portion of southeast Adams county rear Necnnda postoffice last Saturday. rR. C. Laird lost his stable, granary containing farm ing implements and grain, and a large quantity of hay. W. W. Elsworth Sam uel Wilson anil C C. Barger also suf fered from loss of hay, about 100 tons being consumed. There was a strong wind prevailing at the timo and it is be lieved that a prairie fire was the cause, ot the damage. The loss falls very heavily upon Mr. Laird.

This is one of the sever al appeals from the condemnation com mittee and is contested and watched with more than usual interest. John R. Web ater and Beeson & Root appear for the plaintiff, while A. K. Sullivan and By ron Clark represent the deftndan The case has been on trial since yesterday morning and both sides have contested the ground gone over closer than in any case yet tried, Baier vs. the Missouri Pa cific not excepted. The committee al- owed Mr. Todd one thousand dollars damages and he appeals therefrom ask ing $5000. As there are several other casea similar to this, the result is anxious j awaited. L. G. Todd is a hard man to please; in talking with him at Weeping Water the other day, we thought he w is a free trader, but since hearing Tate'b speech last nigh', he wants to outdo Tate and says that he wants a tariff on hides. lie says when his stock dies as a great deal of stock does it is not worth skinning on accout of their being no tariff on hides.
