Otoe's Fruit Crops.
The fruit prospects for Otoe
county were never better since 18G2.
Peaches and pears have generally
been a failure but they show up
very nicely, not only in Otoe county
but also in Nemaha and Cass coun
ties. The cherry and apple crop
will beat the world. The blossoms
are so thick that they look like a
bunch of flowers without any
leaves, and now the fruit is forming
in such clusters that they bid fair
warning to every owner of orchards
to look out in time for proper sup
ports. The Ben Davis apple seems
to take the cake, because on some
twigs twenty or twenty-fur little
apples can be observed. As this
apple is a heavy one some of the
young fruit ought to be culled in
time to prevent the breaking of
limbs. Above are the words of one
who knows what he is talking
about and who has been out among
the orchards.
Mr. Seifert, in the Smith settle
ment near Osage, has forty trees
loaded with young peaches covered
with gray velvet coating. From
the south line of Otoe county to the
edge of Cass our reporter has made
the same observations. Nebraska

headed cane. State Journal
The Journal of this city gulped
down the fake in great shape and

A Catastrophe on the Hudson.
From the morning papers an un
usual accident, horrible to contem
plate, befel a train on the Hudson
River Railroad in New York yester
day. As a construction train was
rushing along the bluffs of the
Hudson, a car loaded with dyna
mite just ahead of the caboose
suddenly exploded and blew the
forward part of the train to atoms.
Six men were killed outright and
nearly fifty were seriously injured.
The exact number cannot yet be
learned, as the injured were taken
to various hospitals.
The scene of the accident is one
of the beautiful points on the banks
of the Hudson. The explosion oc
curred almost directly in front of
the handsome residence of Richard
Hoe, the printing press manufactu
rer, while the mansion of Elliott F.
Shepard and of John Rockefeller
are close by.
A panic occurred in the high
school of Tarrytown among the
pupils. The school building was
violently shaken and the scholars
and teachers thought that an earth
quake had occurred. The children
ran out of their class rooms into
the street, but fortunately none
were injured in the wild rush.
Farmers Should Attend,
The meeting-of the National as
sociation of expert swine-breeders
to be held at Lincoln June 2-5, will
be one of great importance and its
location at Lincoln is uojsmall com
pliment to Nebraska as hog produc
ing state. It will be attended by
prominent swine-breeders all over
the United States and the represen
tation of Nebraska breeders will be
especially large. No more profita
ble industry exists today in the state
of Nebraska than that of raising
hogs. Our farmers could learn
many valuable hints if they would
mingle with the extensive swine-
breeders at the state capital for a
few days in June.
Important.
All the girls who expect to take
part in the carnival tomorrow night

else to have. We must know tonight
how many we have so that if all
places are not filled we can fill them
as this is our last night for practice
seven p. m. sharp.
Cheap Sugar.
An era of cheap sugar has dawned
upon Plattsmouth that will be appre
ciated by cash consumers of that
article. By scanning our advertis
ing columns the public will be noti
fied where they can buy the best
grade of granulated sugar at the
rate of 25 pounds for a dollar.
It is not true that George Vass
stopped a freight train as he went
home the other night. No danger
signals were given.
Chief Engineer Lewis informs us
the Dago strike on their line near
Union did not amount to much and
would cause no delay of any mo
ment. The Singer management under
Mr. Cronin is wideawake. They re
ceived a splendid new wagon yes
terday for their country trade that
was a dazzler.
The weather bulletin says, more
rain to-night and from the appear
ance of the atmosphere this after
noon we are not disposed to dispute
the statement.
L. Grossenbacher has built a new
blacksmith shop on Washington
avenue where he expects to get his
share of the custome work that

manager.
The Italian Band in town to-day,
is composed of fine musicians and

business in this country.
The Rosenbaum corner at main
and 3rd streets is being fixed up in

The Turners have built a good
fence around their- Washington
avenue property, adding much to
its general appearance. The
Turners appear to be an exceed
ingly prosperous organization.
A team ran away on main street
the other evening, and went "Ker
smaeh" into V. V. Leonards buggy
which was turned over breaking
the shafts. The horse was not in
jured and no further damaged was
done, thejvicious run aways being
captured "tew wunst."
Allow me to add my tribute to the
efficacy of Ely's Cream Balm. I
was suffering from a severe attack
of influenza and catarrh and was
induced to try your remedy. The
result was marvelous, I could
hardly articulate, and in less than
twenty-four hours the catarrhal
symptoms and my hoarseness disap
peared and I was able to sing a
heavy role in Grand Opera with
voice unimpaired. I strongly rec
ommend it to all singers. Wm.ll.
Hamilton, Leading Basso of the
C. D. Hess Grand Opera Co.
The forest fires in Pennsylvania
are still raging in their awful fury.
A dispatch from Williamsport
says: "This city was enveloped in
smoke all day yesterday. At mid
day it was so dark that it was neces
sary to light the gas in the stores
and offices, and the electric compa
nies were compelled to turn on their
circuits. To the west and north of
the city forest fires are raging and
a northwest wind which has pre
vailed for the last few days has
fanned the flames into fresh fury."
