The I-anant"B Itrprj.
A Runtlfiium whu lias recently re
turned from Ru.ssiji relates ati incident
which, although trifling in itself, is yet
most pathetically HieBtive of the con
dition of the poor iu Russia, an. of tin
etato of things which has bred ho deep
ami bo widespread discontent among the
people.
Being uliout to leave some station at
which ho had been utaying for a few
days, the gentleman in question called
In a moozhik to y"pt the spelling of
UorgH Kenimn ,rup his trunks.
The man was o -.uorinous btiiM, with
every appearance of great strength,
while the traveler is not above medium
height, and while of compact moM is by
no means of muscular apjiuarance.
The trunk was rather overfull, and the
tatkof bringing the buckle on the strap
into its place was by no means a light
one. The Ilunsian tried again and again,
becoming short of breath and red in the
face with his efforts, while the American
looked on at first in impatient tulence
and then with contemptQous reproaches.
At length, losing patience, the traveler
pushed the moozhik aside, and with a
single quick effort brought the strap
down and buckled it.
"There," he said, "are you not
ashamed, you great big fellow, to bo all
this time bungling over a thing that I
can do in a minute, and I only up to
your shoulders?"
There w;is no trace of auger in the re

meat to eat all your life." Boston
Courier.
She Whs Too
A well known vocal teacher of Boston,
whose reputation brings him pupils from
all over the country, relates that there
once came to him a lady who announced
herself as a music teacher from another
city, and declared her intention of tak
ing a course of lessons. She asked his
terms, and pronounced them satisfac
tory, and then went on to talk about the
time of lessons.
"You see," she explained, "I have only
a limited time in Boston, and I must
manage so as to get the whole twenty
lessons into that.
"How loig are you to be here?" the
other asked.
"Three weeks," she replied.
"Twenty :essons in three weeks!" he
exclaimed aghast. "How could that be
done?"
"Oh," she responded easily, "I could
take two lessons some daj-s."
XT' ... 1 j 1
"xes, uie readier answered, "or you
might take the whole twenty lessons one
after the other all at once. That would
only take about ten hours."
k The face of the lady brightened.
j "Would you ivaliy be willing to give
them to me that way?" she asked. "Then
I could get home inside of ten days, and
get my advertisement as your pupil
printed before the end of vacation." And
the amusing part of the story is that the
woman could not be made to see the ab
surdity of her suggestion. Boston Cour

current topic of discussion to another.
They finally reached the subject of the
great prevalence of sickness. "Are'n't
yez afraid of typhide fever?" said Denis.
"Yis, I am," replied Pat.
"Pat?"
"Yes, Dinny."
"What are thase microbys and germs
the docthers are talking about?"
"Waal, I'll tell yez my idee, Dinny,
Them germs and microbys are paculiar
things. Flannigan was tellin' me about
them. He sez they reside in thawather.
He was fishing Monday, and he pulled
up his line, begob, and found a microbe
on it. He sez it luked like a bullhead,
but it had a paculiar face. He sez he
threw it back afther he got over being
scart. Me own opinion is, Dinny, that
microbes are a paculiar kind of fish."

DllCl), Saturday night at midnight,
Mrs. Mary A. ioyle, at the age of
lifty years.
The deceased was born inIreland
and came to this county about nine
years ago, to secure her portion of
the estate inherited from her broth
er John Tallon. She has resided in
this city ever since up to the time
of her death.
She was a zealous member of the
Catholic church and a hard-working,
industrious woman.
The immediate cause of her
death was an attack of la grippe,
followed by pneumonia.
She leaves four children, Mrs.
Mary Kauen, Clarence, Joseph and
John, the youngest being over 18
years of age.
Her husband died in Kngland
nearly twenty years ago.

friends of the family are invited.
Why Bij Men Have Little Wives.
J here is a very general ana an
cient impression that lug men in
choosing wives prefer small women
At first glance this would appeal
t rue. because the. number of big
men with little wives is certainlv in
an overwhelming majority, as we
see them. In the live vears l nave
held my ohice 1 have learned a
thing or two through the medium
of the marriage license office, and
it is in' impression that it is not
that big men prefer little women,
but that little women prefer bi
men, ana it is the experience or tne
world-wi?e that what a woman wants
and starts out to get she generally
captures. Globe Democrat.

Reptiles Seventy Feet in Length.
What the mammals are in the scale of
creation today the reptiles were in the
mesozoic epoch. They swam the seas,
climbed trees and were most phenomenal
jumpers. Some of them even flew.
"While some were herbivorous, living
upon plants, others were carnivorous,
preserving existence by devouring their
vegetable eating cousins. The vegetar
ian reptiles were enormous beasts, often
as much as seventy feet in length. They
afforded food for the carnivorous rep
tiles, which were smaller than the herb
ivorous Kinu, just as lions ana tigers
nowadays are smaller than oxen.
Though bigger, the vegetarian creat
ures usually had no armor nor weapons
to defend themselves with. Their most
.powerful defence was a kick, which, de
livered with a hind leg fifteen feet in
length, was assuredly not by an- means
to be despised. Professor Cope in Wash

evidence of a strvtggle, which went
to show that heart failure was the

I'nclranlliiess Often the Trouble.
The variety of shoes which claim to
follow the natural shape of the foot is
almost as large as those that do not.
Some of these shoes are so absurdly
broad at the toes that they give an im
pression that they were designed for a J of some of the
hoofed beast; others are ventilated in
the sole. But, in spite of all these orig
inal and expensive patented devices, the
fact remains that as many people escape
all afflictions of the feet who wear ordin
arily well shaped, hand sewn shoes as
those who adopt eccentric shoes. It is
evident that there is some other trouble
beside the shape of the shoe that is at
work. New York Trilmne.

Death of U. V. Matthews,
The people of Plattsmouth, were
shocked this morning by the sud
den unouncement of the death of
Mr. U. V. Matthews, who was in his
usual health up to the moment of
death. Mr. Matthews had been in
failing health during the past twelve
months, and had closed out his
business preparatory to permanent
ly retiring from the active pursuits
of a mercantile life. During the
past few weeks he assured his friends
that he was feeling better and,
hoped to regain his old time vigor
with the coming spring.
Yesterday morning he, as usual
attended divine services at the First
Presbyterian Church of our city,
which church he has regularly at
tended since taking up his residence
in our midstyears ago. He was a
most estimable citizen universally
respected and beloved by his large
circle of intimate friends. He was a
public spirited man whose voice
and iniluence was alwaj's exerted in
favor of public improvements. He
was a genial, companionable, kind
hearted man, who enjoyed the com
panionship and societyof his friends
nid his kindly presence will long
be missed bj- our people.
Mr. Mathews came to Plattsmouth
some twenty years ago from Afton,
owa, and during his residence in
Plattsmouth he has been engaged
in the hardware business which
he recently disposed of to his
nephew, Mr. J. W. Hendee.

York on the 10th day of February
IS'JO being seventy one years one
mouth and twenty seven days old lit
the time of his death. At the age
of twenty five j'ears he left New
ork lor the northwest and tor a
number of years was engaged as a
civil engineeer in Illinois and Iowa
assisting in and locating the pion
eer railways which so materially
aided in opening up this country to
an early settlement He then en
gaged in active business pursuits
in Illinois and was married at Ke
waunee in that state where his wife
died some twenty odd years ago
leaving no children, Removing
from Illinois Mr. Mathews for a
short time engaged in business at
Afton, Iowa, from whence he re
moved to Plattsmouth, making this
place his final home.
He leaves surviving him two
brothess one in Illionoie, and one

Union Switchmen on a Strike.
The following special telegram
appeared in the IJee from Lincoln
this morning.
General Manacer Holdredce of
the li. & M. refused to reinstate the
union switchman discharged from
the yards here. To night all the
switchmen in the li. &. M. yards
struck. About fifty switchmen are
unemployed and half a dozen are
working. There lias been no exhi
bition of violence. The strike was
made under the advisement of
Grand Master Sweeney of the
switchmen's union.
Xo switchmen went out here and
no conductors or brakemaeu nave
quit anywhere on the line so far as
we are able to learn. Xew men
were promptly hired at Lincoln and
took the places of the strikers. The
itrike will probably extend no
farther and may probablybe con
sidered at an end.

A. Bold Forgery.
From Tuf-xdaut Dallu
The lirst .National Lsank received
today from an Omaha bank for
payment two checks, one for $9o in
favor of W. P.Woods and purporting
to be sicrned by Wildman & Fuller
md certified across the face in red
ink as good by Sam'l. Waugh,
cashier. The other check was for
74 and was certified in the same
way, out was made payaDie to u n-
son Woods and was signed II. B.
Wildman instead of L. !., the name
it was evidently intended for. The
first check was dated March 30 and
was cashed by a bank at Schuyler.
The second check was cashed at
Kimball, Nebraska, a few days later.
The moment Mr. Waugh saw the
checks he noticed they were very
clumsy forgeries. His own signa
ture nor that of Wildman & Fuller
in any manner bore the least re
semblance to the signatures which
appeared on the checks. There is
no clue to the forger, but the banks
of Kimball and Schuyler may be
able to run him down, and as they
are the loaera in the operation they
will certainly make strenuous ef
forts to secure the villain and teach
him a lesson. This is a novel way
to forge paper, yet it seems no bank
of ordinary prudence would cash
paper of that kind for a stranger.
If these banks have done so they
ought to lose the money they have
advanced, and learn something.
The G. A. Ft. Anniversary.
Notwithstanding the free show
and the big crowd at Fitzgerald's
Hall last evening, and the entertain
ment at the opera house, the Grand
Arni3- b3 s and their friends very
comfortably filled Kockwood Hall
to properly commemorate the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the organiza
tion of their order. H. J. Streight
read the history of the first Post,
which was organized at Decatur,
Ills., twenty-five years ago, together
with a general history of the order.
F, A. Bates gave an interesting ac
count of the tips and downs of Mc
Conihie Post. The charter mem
bers were Ben Hemple, II. J
Streiirht, K. K. Livingston, Peter
Cooper and a few others whose
names we could not learn.
J. lie orator ot trie evening was
Judge Chapman, who in a pleasing j
manner addressed his comrades
for over half an hour, giving a very
interesting history of the objects,
aims, and accomplishments of that
The entertainment was one of j
more than ordinary merit and it
possible shall have been given in
opera house.
Charley Vallery and Andy Taylor
came very near having a serious
runaway last evening while return"
iug home in a buggy. As they were
passing the crossing opposite Judge
Chapman's residence the neck-yoke
suddenly broke, causing the tongue
to fall to the ground. This fright
ened the horses so badly that they
ran into a deep gutter at the side of J
the road. Mr. laylor pimped out
and received only a slight injurv to
one hand. Charley was tiirown tor-
ward onto the horses neck and
hung on for all he was worth. The
buggy was badly broken. Charley
and .Mr. laylor procurer! saddles
and rode home, leaving the buggy
here for repairs.
