A , recesa vTh then declared, to dispose 1 of Co. Q which was done after an hour or two, in which time Hro. -H. I A. Mc. went "out of siht" in sev i f eral ways, especially when it came to "choose your partners for a waltz." Oh! where, Oh! where was Bert? The echoes answered, "out of eiffht." r d- Ginger has fully promised to comeV to I'lattsniouth aain in ApriWiext and reproduce the "Gyp sy Mummy" and also ive a regular i minstrel in connection with it, in behalf of Capt.

The proceeds of which will go to the camp funds to uniform the camp, in order that they may o to the field encampment at Geneva '. next June, to take part in the coin- petitive drills; and it is hoped that Plattsmouth's good ant generous f people will not withhold their as- .' sistance in this undertaking of the camp, as this ranks as a "first class" j ' camp in the division, s And what wa.ftthe matter with the i chaplain? lie seemed to have been considerably flustrated on account of the maneuvrcs of Co. Q. They v say he had something the matter with his heart. Our worthy champion and brother, j ' C. II. Jaquette of Capt. C. N. Uaird '', No. 62, of Weeping Water, was the f guest of the camp and gave a very )' flattering speech in regard to the 'l camp's superiority to other camps i he had visited in his travels through j the state, and most especially did he commend Capt. Will Ackerman, for the manner in which he main tained order. We are pleased to note further that ?Ir. Jaquette will at the next meeting be transferred to" the camp here, which will be a great help to us in the future. A Good Change.

Mr. Beverage was a single man, about 4) years of age; the cause of his death was probably an accident which he received in Omaha while working at the lT. P. shops about two years ago,that injured his head. The deceased was highly respected and beloved by a targe circle of friends.

I Thomas is a republican and ; vvliich explained the rapid manner 1 young Sitzman was flying up the j track and across onto the sand bar ; with his irate father in hot pursuit 1 this morning. The boy was too rapid for the parent, yet the pursuit was kept up for two miles, as far as they could be seen uj the river.

Our Col. Connor was among the number and ( if the colonel gets left it will be his first experience in that line.

He has visited all the health resorts, but is unable to find anything that will help him. Granulated sugar for April deliv ery is quoted in the New York wholesale markets at 41o cents per pound. This will be a grateful re duction to western consumers, but without assistance how much land would be devoted to tJie raising- of sugar beets in Nebraska with sugar at that price? The farmers would have to go back to corn and wheat. Colonel VanaiU Surprised, From Friday's Daily. Colonel S. P. Vanatta was sixty years old yeaterda3T, and we do our selves no violence in saying he will long remember his sixty-first birth day. Mr. Vanatta had been coaxed into a game of high five down town, and when he came home he was surprised beyond measure at the company which greeted him at the door. His pleasant home on Fourth street had been suddenly invaded by a company of Odd Fellows and other friends determined upon hav ing a pleasant evening, and they were not disappointed. Mr. C. W. Sherman in a happy speech eulogized the host in well chosen terms, and presented him on behalf of his friends in remem brance of his sixty-first birthday, a handsome gold lined silver cup and saucer. Colonel Vanatta feelingly responded, saying among other things that he was combative and did not mind a fight but that kindness overwhelmed him, and he could hardly find words to ex press his sincere thanks for the beautiful token of friendship which he had just received. A splendid repast was served, after which social converse ruled the hour- until time to retire, when each guest said good night and wished the genial host and his kindly wife many happ3' birthday anniversaries. Those present were R. Peterson, wife and daughter, T. Fl Williams and wife, E. G. Vanatta and wife, C. W. Sherman, I. Pearle man and wife, Peter Bates and wife, L. E. Karnes and wife, Sol Osborn, C. S. Twiss and wife, John Corey and the Missis Ollie Boyd and Belle Vermityea. The injuction failed to injunk. Mrs. Wescott is in receipt of a let ter irom lier liusuaud announcing the safe removal of her neice, Mrs Bruisie from her temporary quar ters near the scene of the Pan Han dle wreck at Hagerstown, Indiana. President Miller of the Pennsvl v;- nia Central railway kindly tendered the use of his private car which was much more conifortal.de than a com mon sleeper. Mrs. Brusie's husband is now with her and although se verely cut on the right and left side of her head, her lungs crushed, and bruised otherwise, she is recovering nicely. To rend the Auburn. Nebraska City, I'nion and Plattsmouth papers we are led to believe that the M. P. I is going to build round houses and machine shops at all of them, and one instance is recorded where a farmer close to the latter place is going to have them on his farm. Weeping Water Eagle. Died, Yesterday at 3 o'clock, Laura Stull, of congestive chills, aged six years. The funeral will take place tomorrow from theChristian church at 1 o'clock, Klder K'eid officiating. The deoeased was a sister of Wm. and George Stull and Mrs. J e Bruhl. Sin- was making her home with her uncle, Mr. i'red Gardner. Father of deceased was Mr. Win. Stull, and is somewhere in the east. Amenites of Journalism. The Pnion Ledger devoted a column of its valuable space to this paper in a recent issue. After the editor of that paper had written it and read it he no doubt saw that there was neither sense nor truth in the who'e galley, and he 1 e.-ame ashamed of it, and rather than to own it signed it "Fair Play," and said the writer did not live in Union, neither was he a Christian. The latter has our indorsement. We have no room for such a senseless article and will not stoop to reply. Weeping Water Republican. The Missouri Pacific. The Weeping Water papers and some ot tne parties getting signers to county seat petition have repre sented that the Plattsmouth exten sion would not be built this year, if at all. The following letter from the general manager to Mr. Ballon, which we are kindly permitted to print, settles this matter beyond further question. The letter reads as follows: The M. P. Railway Co., Executive Dei't. ! S. II. H. Clark, ; First V P and Gen. Man. J St. Louis, March 'A. 1891. O. H. B alloc, Esq., Plattsmouth, Nebr., My Dear Sir: Replying to your letter dated March 1, referring to finishing the Plattsmouth exten sion, allow me to say, it isjthe inten tion of this company to complete same at the earliest practicable moment, beginning as soon as con dition of road-bed and weather will permit. Material for this extention is already purchased, and will be delivered as rapidly as situation warrants. We have never had any intention of abandoning the Platts mouth extention, but on the con trary intend to push it to final com pletion. The citizens of Plattsmouth, and others tributary to the new line, need have no fears upon this sub ject. Yours Truly, S. II. H. Clark, First Vice Pres. Mr. Parker Entertained Quite a company of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. O. Parker met at their home two miles south of town last night and celebrated the anniversa ry of Mr. Parker's 47th birthday in a fitting manner. After a nice social time with singing of Grand Army songs and telling war stories, all were seated to a splendid supper, to which ample justice was done. The commander of the Post sang the "Kansas Jayhawker," and they say he practiced their old tactics by putting everything eatable out of sight as fast as he could get to it except his coffee, which had been salted hy some one who feared he was eating too much. After a jolly time as only the old boys who wore the blue know how to have, the party broke up with hearty best wishes for their genial host and hostess. Our Colonel Sherman of the Platts mouth Journal gazed inspiringly at a band of blanketed Kickapoo Indians at the depot the other morn ing, and a bright light stole gently over his smiling countenance as he leaned up against the lunch count er and remarked that a man would be mighty lo that would kick a poo Indian. The crowd in waiting groaned audibly, and Ticket Agent Latham who is ever on the alert aft er the comforts of the public, came out to admonish the colonel that if he inflicted another like that on the people who were going to travel over tne great LJurlincrton Route. c might have a personal assault case to write up. The Journal man took the hint, slipped out at the door and quietly relieved his mind by kicking a stray dog that hap pened near. The first creditable mention of Senator Thomas in the Journal, of this city, we noticed in last night's paper. it was written by a corre spondent and reads as follows: Senator Thomas is a clear-headed, conscientious member who knows what is right, and is ready to push forward the wheels of progress and make his county and state the best and most progressive common wealth in the Union. Had the sen ate a majority of sucn men as Sam uel Thomas, Nebraska would be at least fifty per cent better off than she now is, and instead of being the laughing siock, as she is today, bv the eastern people, would be looked upon as the brightest star in the sisterhood of states. p RAND PALACE HOTEL, 1 81 to lOS Worth Clark Street.
