From Fridays Daily The news that the president and sec retary of war had sustained the action of Colonel Forsy the at the battle of Wound ed Knee gave General satisfaction at army headquarters of the department of the Platte. Colonel Sheridan said: "It a what I expected, and I believe it will meet with universal approval. General Miles made an adyerse leccommendation but he wasn't there, and in that case his opinions were worth no more than these of any one else." - - ' - - Captain Ray was glad to hear of the favorable report. ' Said be: "It will not only pleas? the army, but the general public as well. There isn't a man in the army who doesn't believv that Forsythe should have been commended instead of .1 rr . 11 . ceusureu. lie was practically surpriseu, and wuo wouldn't haye been to have men wjtb whom they were quietly deal ins suddenly fire risht in their faces? He certainly deserved credit for rret ting out with as little loss as he did. General "Miles reported adversely aud I am surprised at it, as General Miles is a good soldier, but he seems to have been predju diced against Forsythe up there for some reason. That was an exparte investigation, and 1 don't see why that reccommendation was made." Bee.

C. Hebner and Henry Enabe, of Avoca precinct, were transacting business with the county officials today. Wednesday, at Atchinson, Kas., Mr. George Johnson, who is called, "Burup' for short, was married to Miss Kate Mc- Carty of this city. Burial of Mrs. B. the Clcnwooil Wlndhan The following is fn in Opinion: "After several days' lingering on th V'Tge of eternity the spirit of Mrs. B. Windham to k its flight, on Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. The funeral ser vice wTo held at thu family residence on Mondar, at M p. m. The house was intb quate to contain the gr"at number of friends that attended. R-.vr. Hun Nutting and Stephens participated in the exereisen, tin; two forim r making fittint: addresst a and the lattt r reading appro priate passages of scripture. Tin; floral decorations were beautiful. 1 lie Toi liv ing relations from iibroid were present: Mr?. Anna M. Ooodell and son, of River Forest, III.; Mrs. 8rah Madison, of Los Angeles, Cala.; Mrs. II. II. O'Neill, of Danville, 111., and R. B. Windham, of Plattsmouth, Neb. The following sketch of the deceased was read by A. C. Pennock' Mrs. Harriet Windham was born in Rutland. Vermont, Jan. 28, 1814; em braced religion in her childhood and has been an exemplary Christian through all the lony yea s sin that period. Her second marriage, whic'i v?n to her now bereaved husband, Benj. Windham, oc curred Oct. 1G, 1867, at the horn of her niece, Mrs. B. A. Good ell. in Glenwood, Iowa. Ami for tho twentv-tt ree years since that period she ha is. ded in ourcity. Her early education and industriaus habits. together with her self-for:ettiiig md generous nature, peculiarly fitted her for the domestic duties of her home in Glenwood, ns the continued and de voted attachment of the step-children to her, up to tins hour; is ample cyi dence. And then fas seems to havJ been her wont from an early period of her life) her benevolent heart went out be yond her own home circle, to find and relieve the wants of the poor and unfor tunate arcund her and to help forward the cause of Christ, at home and abroad II jnce wo do not wonder that ehe came to her dying pillow with a heart all low with the hope of an aft; r being in a better world, and with an unshaken trust in the Gd of her life. Indeed, it was a pleasure a real joy to step into her sick room and see now true a enns- tian, in the midst ot racking pains, can n thought live with God, angels and loved ones on the "Shining Shore" can talk of leaving earth with the calm assurance aud exquisite y of a child looking toward home and longing to meet and tf greet the dear ones there, and yet willing to does not room frr aw.iy; or deatr; th: king of terrors. The atmosphere of such a room has no infidelity in it no re pinings aga'nst providence but is per Death and meatea wun a sieaay ana inumpnani largely ia its favor. Yet. you will oc joy which no earthly dialect can really casionally find a man in Plattsmouth name or fully describe. And it was under such happy circum stances, anticipations and piercing and flinching faith that, with our departed sister, the curtain of thought fell and the good byes ceased. Sister Windbam, though aged, and of late infirm in body, will be missed much missed in her home circle and in our cuj; dui u wouiu seem wrong roueepiy mourn her death would be unwise and i . . 1 1 -1 i i unfeeling to wish her back to travel the patn of sorrowing and suffering again, I being now safely home safely home. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Anna I M. Goodell, of River Forest, 111., and Mrs. Sarah Madison, of Los Aageles, Cala. bhe died in Glenwood. Ia.. Feb. 8, 1891, aged 77 years and 11 days." The Stock Census. Estimates of the number of farm ani mals made at the end of each year and returnable to the department of agricul ture, have been completed. There has been little change in the numbers, ex- I cept on the Pacific coast end in certain I portions of the Rocky mountain area, I where the winter of 1889-90 was unusu ally severe. The losses are especially heavy on the Pac'fic coast. The number of much cows is 16,019.- 591, an increase of 66,703 from last year. Other cattle aggregate 36.S75,04S, in cluding those on the ranches. Estimated numbers of sheep 43,431,136. The ten dency to an increase of numbers is seen n most of the sals. 1 he aggregate num ber of swine is 50, 625, 10G, showing a decliue of nearly 2 per cent The aver age value, is $4.15, a decrease of 57 cents per head. The scarcity of corn caused the slaughter of stock hogs in poor con dition, tending to glut tbe market and re duce the price temporarily. County Court. Tohn Blake et al vs. John Hoeckler.

The Hekalu believes the time I as fully arrived when few plain words in tiie intctest of Platt-mouth and a few plainer words to the citizens are in order. Never in our city's history was her foundation so firm or her future so bright as now; yet, has there ever been a time when her business men and property t.wm rs were so ind Jlcreut as at th-.; present time. There s. ems to Iih ro "unanimity of thought or action. A five years of sub stantial growth and the certainty of a good court house and a n-w railroad, seems to be sutlicbnt to cause most of our business men to feel that they are re leased from further personal responsi bility. Even the board of trade ai d business imi.s' association fail to hold their meetings. In our opinion a grave mistake is being ma e. Now, if ever, is the time to combine and with renewed energy and zeal born of five years suc- C.8.J, pnsh Plattsmouth still further lo the front. We h aye pn spects of a thiid railroad and bridge ucross the Missouri; wit'i the proper tffort Missouri Pacific shops may be located here; a govern ment bu Iding be secured; let the can ning factory be again started up, which, by the way, is a tun tier o' greut impor tance to Plattsmouth. When running:, it employs about 125 hands and circu lates during a year about $100,000; th:s sum then would go into the coffers of the business houses. Business men, g to work and put this institution on is fett again aud put money in vour Dockets. Imluc,. capitalists who have money to invest, to buy up the motor line and set it running it will pay. Flattsmoyth will to support a good roller mill; get to work securing it. Have a business men's meeting onco a month or oftener and every man turn out and get up in terest and unanimity of action. Lt the real estat men stir themselves. Why are lots in Plattsmouth, a place of 10,000 inhabitant--, covering a territory of 1,200 acres, with gieat shops intailing perhaps and expenditures of $2,000,000, the town's permancy beyond speculation, bringing only $150, while speculators and ground floor men in the prospective town of Havelock, with 4.C0O acres ot irtn(i in lot no ini,ahitunts, and the only prospectiye ones what shops costing only $250,000 can employ, aie selling lots at $250, In plain language, unembtllishc-d by the sirenical not:s of the man who rakes in his commissions and increases the profits on his stocks, the inducement to pay $250 for iots in Havelock is a ?250,000 railroad shop; while in Plattsmouth the induce ment to pay $150 a lot, is a railroad tdant worth n-ar $2.C0O,CO0: a c b v ready built of 10,000 in'aablbitis, vl its permanent institutions: a new rail road, and an $80,000 court house and the prospects for additional advantages who has been bewildered into buying a Havelock lot at a price it would only bring if the place had 20,000 inhabitants, telling what a grand investment he has made, and how willing he would be to sell his Plattsmouth property at half price, if he had any; mind then the man, the man who believes every other town is better than the one he ilvea ,n the man with the k; monn. tr ii ; a.,a I "'O f .f JV.U u uuu UVlUC we are KOne Up the knat has swallowed an elephant. The Herald has no patience with this class of men, nor with the men who will stand by and see their town attacked and not defend it, and who will not ex Dress their confidence in it when thev have innumerable reasons to do s . Let all commence today to both talk and work for Plattsmouth, defend its interest, and by taking advantage of its present prosperous condition move her still further to the front. Tr. Schildknecht, who has been quite sick for a few days past, isn't any better today. New Brick Yard. Lafayette O'Neill sold four acres of land, just south of his addition, yester day to Mr. C. J. Marten and Chris Mau- kenhaupt. The land contains some of the best brick clay to be found in this vicinity and will hi-, utilized at once, or as soon as the weather will permit, in the manufacture of brick on a large scale. The parties interested have not only ex tensive experience a3 successful brick makers, but they have plenty of capital as well, so that success is assured the new firm from the start. Tbe works are lo cated near the popular South Park addi tion and will be quite a convenience for builders in that vicinity as well as for the hands employed, who can afford to take advantage of cheap lots and build themselves homes.
