Lere it may not he out of place to say
that Mr. Thomas rauka high as an active,

time exclusively to t-tate affairs and it
better posted on the condition of legis

Several have enquired who the man
Tatam, of Yokohoma, Japan, was that
owned property in Plattsmouth. Judge
O'Donohoe says that he knew Tatam
quite well and sold him the property
which he now owns over in the Fourth
ward. He eays that Tatam was a resi
dent of this city several years ago and
that he is related to John Leesley and to
Mr. Alli, of this city.
Frank Young sr. lost his pocketbook
today on the street containing f 12 in

keing the first of the month, the chances
are that the fellow who found it has
been so importuned by the bill collectors
that he will borrow it to pay his ac
counts. Later Since writing the above Mr.
Young 1ms recovered his book and
money. It was found by a Plattsmouth
gentleman and returned to him.

President Manderson.
The telegraph of today gives us good
news of Nebraska being honored by
honoring her representative at Washing
ton. The telegram is dated Washing
ton, D. C, and reads as follows:
A conference of the republican sena
tors was held tonight for the purpose of
selecting a president pro tempore in the
senate in the place of Mr. Ingalls. Sen
ator Sherman presided. Three senators
were nominated lor the position, Messrs.
Frye, of Iaine. Hoar, of Massachusetts
and Manderson, of Nebraska. Six or
seren ballots were taken, and on the
l&st Senator Manderson received the
nomination. On motion of Mr. Frye the
nomination was made unanimous.

The legislature is having an effect on
the shops here. The company is reefing

a Close Call.
Saturday last a well known gentleman.
in this city stepped into a store, when a
young man who was in there looking at
a revolver picked up the weapon and
started to pull it in a playful manner,
aiming it at the gentleman who had just
come in. For some reason he turned the
W,oon around and did not turn the
U&id towards his friend, though he

A telegram from Aurora, 111., says:
"Over 400 men haye been discharged
by the C. B. & Q,. car and locomotive
shops here. The laboratory has been
practically abandoned and the working
force at the shops reduced fully 00 per
cent. This is the biggest cut made by
the company since 1876.
Uncle Robert lletteer reside with his
son-in-law. Peter Eveland, out in the
western part of the county. He said he
drove two miles to their station on the
Rock Island this morning, boarded the
train. for South Bend, arriving there in
time to catch the Schuyler which put
him in Plattsmouth in time for a late
breakfast. He can't see why people want
to change the county seat for any out of
the way village, and he ret used to sign
the petition much to the disgust of some
of his neighbors.
Wm. A. Linch of Greenwood, one of
Cass county's early settlers, has just re

chased 1.S00 acres of land in Alabama
und is arranging to move his f.'.nnly
lown there- as soon as possible. The
success which P. P. Johnson of Red Oak
has been making down there bids fair to
take all his acquaintances to that coun
try. Mr. Linch thinks he has a tortune
within his grasp and wc trust that lie
has.

Horatio Didn't Squeal.
Lat nisht II. N. Dovey went outback
of the store and was greatly surprised to
run onto a wagon and team in the alley.
He stopped, and noticed two tellows
piling wood into the wagon from Mur
phy's wood pile on bne side and Doyey's
on the other. H. N , in a commanding
tone of voice calculated to strike terror
to the hearts of evildoers, demanded
what thev were doing! They jumped
onto the wagon; ome of them picked up
a stick of stoye wood and raised it, as
he said, "don't you squeal." In the
meantime the other fellow got hold ot
the lines, and the way that team flew
through the alley and south on ilurd
street was a caution. Horatio did not
oueal until they were safely out of
sight; then he got hot and thirsted for
gore, but it was too late. At l ist ac
counts the thieveshad not been captured.
A Lizard in His Stomach,
The following special telegram to the

but as a fact. Water drinkers need not

fright for prohibitionists. The telegram
