The presidential excursion party which lelt WasJimgton at i:iuin , the evening- of the 13th hist., and which will pass through Lincoln on its return from Denver on the 13th of May, remaining there for one hour, has been provided with prob ably the most gorgeous and luxuri ous special caravan that was ever sent out on an3' road or trip. The party comprises President and Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Dim niick, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harri- Vgon, Postmaster General YVanama maker, Marshal Randsell, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Poyd, Mr. K. F. Tib bott, the president's stenographer, and Messrs. Clarke, Oulahan and Austin, the new'spapcr men. (Juite a number of farmers were in the cit- Saturday in excellent humor; they said the outlook for n bounteous crop was better than it had been before in seven years. Mr. Bliiine's Letter. James G. Ulaine's personal popu larity has already leaped over all political barriers, and the enthusi ' asi.f- is becoming as great among democrats as republicans. It is more and more apparent that he is devoting himself to business, to the business of serving the country, as no other man living could serve it. There has been no such secretary of state since Daniel Webster, and the country will be lortunate if there is his equal in another half century. The press and congressmen of all shades of political faith are loud in praise of his action in the Italian "incident." IJoston Traveler. Ocar P. Austin, An old time Plattsmouth boy. having been raised in this county . and town, is the representative of the great Associated Press organi zation at Washington and has been honored by the press association in the fact that he will represent it on the presidential tour. He is low doubtless enjoying the triumphal march across the country on the palace train. Grant Austin, who went to Washington about two years ago, is a brother of the noted juewspaper correspondent.

George Harsh man of Avoca was matched for a purse of $100 to wrestle with the noted M. R Lake of St. Louis. The match came off Saturday in the opera house in Nebraska City (which is known as a Missouri town) and resulted in Mr. Harsh man throwing his antagonist three straight falls in succession, winning the $100 without much eiTort. Harshman is the man that threw Coon Vallery at Murray during' the winter; he is a powerful man and is always a winner in contests re quiring agility and great strength. A Cass County Fire. Mrs. Iv. C. Becker's house and household goods were destroyed by a lire Saturday about 11 a. m., three miles northeast of Union. Loss, between $900 and $1,200, partly in sured in the Nebraska Fire of Oma ha. The fire originated in a defec tive flue and when first seen the blaze was covering" the roof. No one was at the residence except a son, who saved the bedding- and some furniture.

Miss Maud Current of Klmwood came down 3-esterday for a few days visit with her sister, Mrs. J. G. Old ham near Murray. J. P. Becker Esq. who has been at tending the State Normal, returned home last Tuesday' evening, and i preparing to do the granger act this season. He will return to school agfain for the fall term. Miss Estella Traver commenced her third term of schcol in District 12 last Tuesday. The school board in that district evidently appreciate the good work Miss Tnver hn done in their school, and they siiow good judgment in retaining her as teacher. Mr. D. T. Thacker residing a few miles east of here, met with a pain ful accident a fevr days ago and yet he was fortunate to escape with as little injury as he did. Mr. Thacker wits assisting in running a horse power wood saw, and in some way jot his arm too near the saw while it was running-, ins sleeve caugnton the saw and drew his arm down lac erating it in a pamiui manner, it is thought the wound will not re sult in permanent injuries to his inn but he was lucky in not losing- it. Plattsmouth is talking" of a grand celebratiou when the Union cut-off is completed into that city. Liberty precinct has never full' agreed with Plattsmouth on the subject of bonds md county seat, but as these are now settled we would suggest that our people either prepare and have 1 jubilee here or join with Platts mouth in a grand good time.

When they reached the hotel the stranger told the porter to take his grip inside, saying he would be in shortly, but that was the last any one seen of him and Friday morn ing the town was wild with excite ment over the manner in which the stranger behaved and disappeared the night before and after some close searching it was thought he was located in Dr. Wallace's hay mow, but after forking the hay about for awhile nothing was found but a pair of pants. After failing to find the mysterious man the porter took the heavy grip to the police judge's office where he had the con tents taken out which disclosed the fact that the man was running for some brick company as the grip contained thirteen large bricks. A mj'Stery still prevails as to what be came of the man who owns the sam ples. Some think it a joke put up on the porter, while others think he was a criminal and tried to disguise himself to avoid arrest. However, the excitement is gradually dying out and it is thought nothing ser ious will result. county Court. Gertrude M. Wiley vs. Charles E. Wiley.

May success follow the new enterprise. From Tiuxriaus Daily Jack Grace has added a lirst class lunch counter to his saloon 011 Low er Main street where a hungry man can get a square meal. A car load of telephone poles were brought in last night. To-day Superintendent Horton will with a line repairer proceed to fix up the line from here to Nebraska City. Richard Claiborne an old time Plattsmouthian at present Editor and proprietor of the Abilene Kas Chronicle made his friends in this ;ht3r a flying visit last evening. L. G. Larson went to Louisville last evening to attend to business in that burgh, and also to take a hand riding the I. O. O. F. goat which is said to be a very spirited animal. The reports about switchman Ed. Hall losing a limb in Omaha, are all a mistake: he did not lose a limb or any port of a limb on the contrary he has been promoted to a better position in the B. & M. yards than the one he has hereto fore held. The Missouri Pacific track layers are at work and inside of two weeks the line will be completed to this cit'. It seems that the committee in charge of 11 celebration ought to be doing something that the affair may prove the success which it deserves to be. Herman Kleitsch has purchased the two handsome lots belonging to J. B. Strode, on Elm street east of Julius Pepperberg's, for .$T00. These arebeautif ul building lots and we are told will be improved at once. As Herman is a bachelor we will not say what is liable to hap pen. Rev. Buckner of College Springs. Iowa, and his brother, also a minis ter, of Germantown this state, to gether with the third brother, the Methodist minister here; made The HERALD a pleasant business call to day. If we thought they would not see this item we would pay they were as fine appearing gentlemen as one could see in a years time. The county commissioners to-day closed a contract with Mr. S. B. Thompson, agent of the Fenton Metallic M'f'g Co. of Jamestown, N. Y., for the entire vault fittings for the new court house. The fittings are all of iron and will cost com pleted .2,930.50. Mr. Thompson leaves this evening for Hot Springs, South Dakota, where a new court house is also in course of erection. Itappears that Jacob BigleJ of Chase county has the inside track on the wardenship of the peniten tiary. And it is said A. C. Campbell of Hastings is to be the steward of the Hastings asylum. MiC Camp bell is an old resident of Cass county and used to buy grain for Charley Pinkham af South Bend. The stewardship of the Lincoln asylum is quite a plum and is hotly contested for by J. Xf. Ruffncr rind Mr. Oppenheiniei of Liin.o!.i end Mr. Grimes of this city. One of the boys, returning from the hunt across the river, says that they went to bed over there very tired about midnight and were ve:y sleepy, but that something sug gested a story- to Col. Sherman, who was of the part-, aud that he began telling it in his usual graphic manner; the boys all went to sleep and one of them was awakened about 4 o'clock by loud laughter MitU Ir-M.s ie.i.H !'

The family has the earnest sympathy of all our people here over their financial misfortune which has caused them to give up their beautiful home in this city. More industrious and better citi zens could not be found in our midst and it is with sincere regret that The HERALD notes their de parture. A Small Calibre. The Harrison presidential circus reached Memphis, Tenii., yesterday. While the crowds are not as large as the Barnum show usually draws in that country, the managers claim to be well satisfied. The freaks are all enjoying good health and the local newspapers report that as a clever ringmaster Little Penny has demonstrated an ability which will place him at the head of the pro fession before the season is over.---Plattsmouth Journal. If the calibre of a newspaper is to be measured by its editorials the above would indicate a size almost infinitesmal on the part of the dem ocratic organ in this cit3". Such samples ofsili3' partizanship' do not elevate a paper even in the eyes of its own party. Mr. Cleveland's trip over the country a little over two years ago was er3- similar to Harrison's, but in the mind of the Journal man "it was a triumphal inarch." Criminal Libel. The Lincoln correspondent of the World-Herald says James Kidd, proprietor of the Hotel Watson at Nebraska CU3-, arrived in Lincoln 3resterda3-, accompanied by a great big desire to have the editors of Vanity Fair arrested on the charge of criminal libel. Saturday's issue of that paper contained an item stating that Kidd had received a telegram calling him to Chicago, but being suspicious of a sell, 01113 pretended to go, and returning sud denly found a grocery man in his place at the head of the house. Vanity Fair's Nebraska Cit3' cor respondent further said that since that time Mr. Kidd has been getting his groceries at a d i .- count. No ar rests have been made jxt. A warrant is also out for the ar rest of Al E. Ewau, former! 3- Lincoln correspondent ol il.j On: ah a Bee, on the same charge. Ewau came to Lincoln on the dead quiet to do some special work for the Kansas Cit3" Sunday Sun, but was .-potted.
