HIGH SCHOOL COI.UMN-
I'ATKIC (ilVK AWAY.
Misses Lm-lla Mathews mid Mabel
Hayes favored the hijrh school with
a pleasant visit Tuesday afternoon.
Tliat was a lovely bociiu-t that
Prof. Harr gave to I lit assistant
principal Wednesday noon, wasn't
it?
We have not been able to get
down to solid work thin week on ac
count of a delay in getting the text
books. 'They are all in now and
work will progress in earnest next
week.
The lime for closing will be 4:0
o'clock, p. in., every day, Friday in
cluded. This does not please tin
majority of the scholars, who have
been accustomed to beiiif; (lis
missed at o'clock on Friday.
Few notes could be gathered this
week on account of the rush of
work, but we present these hoping
they will be of interest to the
reader and promising to do what
we can to make the notes iiioreintc
resting each succeeding week.
There is to be a flag raising next
week at the high Hchool to which
the public in invited. An appro
priate program will be rendered
and a beautiful ten foot -American
flagvill be raised above the build
ing while the entire school will sing
"The Star-Spangled Banner." The
dale will be announced in TliK
llKKALI).
To-day closed the first week of
the Hchool term beginning Sept. 1,
18!Ua term which bids fair to be
one of the most, if not TUB most,
successful terms in the history of
the I'latlsmouth Educational Ad
vances. The buildings are all in
good condition, the pupils ambiti
ous, the teachers energetic, and the
management enterprising a com.
hination that cannot fail of success.
It is a fact that we are to have a
good base ball club in connection
with the school, called the High
School Nine. We wouldn't be sur
prised if, next year, Prof. McClel
land would invite some other school
(say the Nebraska City schools) over
to enjoy a field day wilh us, in
which event ourclub would he kind
enough to "show them how to play
ball." We will announce the names
of the boys who compose the club
when the organization is perfected.
The high school building is to be
provided with signal flags before
the close of next week. A square,
white flag, wilh blue center, will be
the signal to "get ready," and will
be hoisted about 8:110 o'clock. A few
minutes before '.MX) o'clock a
"danger" signal will go up. It will
be a sipiare. red flag, with white
center, which will apprise the
pupils of the fact that they have
but h very short time in which to
get to school. Then at t):(H) o'clock
the royal star-spangled banner will
wave over the school, which will
mean, of course, that all's well.
The school opened Monday with
aa enrollment of Mil. At the opening
of last year's term the total enroll
went was 778, making a majority
fur this year of I IT). The entire en
ritllmentat the close of last term
was rj(H); so, the present rate of in
crease we may well expect to hae
at least ItiK) pupils in the public
schools before the end of the
present term. Many of the old
pupils of last term who expect to
, go to school again this year have
not come in ns yet, and, there are
great numbers of new scholars
coining in all the time. What we
want is for the parents and the pub
lie in general to encourage the
management by sending their
children to nchool ami speaking a
good word for the school whenever
the opporthnity present itself; anil
then we may expect the "Young
American" of l'lattsniouth at least,
to be well trained and prepared for
the responsibilities of life before
them.
A Platts-mouth Visitor in Maine.
Mrs. M. M. Richardson, of this
city, who is now fishing in Maine,
sends us n copy of the Helfast
Republican Journal with a marked
article descriptive of a visit of one
of Uncle Sam's new vessels to Hel
fast. The article demonstrates that
our navy, while iut as complete as
that of other nations, is fully in
keeping with the dsmands, and the
vessels make a favorable impression
upon those who behold them. We
reproduce the article, which is as
follows:
"The visit of the White Squadron
is an event in the history of Helfast,
and those who have witnessed the
packed craft o( I'ncle Sam's new1
navy at anchor in our beautiful
bay will always recall it with pleas
ure. Years hence our youngpeople
of to day will tell to the little pratt
lers of that day h iw the stately
ships steamed gra idly past Tutle
Head and up the ba y, and hw all
the populace turnet out to welcome
them; of the visits to the ships,
these wonders of modern construc
tion, with their death-dealing bat
teries and explosives, their intri
cate machinery, and the many de
vices new and straige to those
familiar with the nw obsolete
wooden ships. The latter, however,
are still dear to patriotic Americans
who love to recall their victories
over foreign foes, and names of the
heroes who trod their decks. Con
ditions have changed, but there has
been no change in American valor,
and should Occasion arise the new
navy will not be found wanting in
men or metal.
"Our little city did its best in the
way of entertaining its distin
guished guests; but over anil above
the slight courtesies extended we
trust they felt in some degree the
cordial welcome in every heart.
We are a sea faring people; deep
water sailors many of us; the single
town of Searsport alone furnishing
about one third of the commanders
of the American ships atloat to-day.
The mariners of Waldo eot'uty
have carried the flag to every
foreign port and have met our in -n-of-war
on every tea. Some are
naval veterans of the civil war;
while as to our ladies, it is but
natural that they should 'dearly
love a sailor.' It would be strange
then if the visit of the White Squad
ron was not appreciated as it de
serves, and ps highly as in any
other port of the country; and we
think there can be no question but
that is the fact.
We are glad to hear that our bay
and our city favorably impressed
the visitors. Indeed, they were
more than complimentary, and we
think every citizen of Helfast holds
his head just a little higher to-day
because of the encomiums pro
nounced upon which he has inward
ly felt to be about the best place on
earth, and the handsomest bay in
the world. If thus an additional
stimulus has been given to local
pride no harm has been done, end
we are sure that the object lessons
in patriotism afforded by the na
tion's defenders will not be lost
upon our young America."

Merry Wedding Bells
One of the most pleasant events
that has happened in Heaver City
for some time was the marriage
ceremony at the residence of Mr.
md Mrs. IS. V Harvey, Wednesday,
Sept. !t, which wari performed by
Rev. J. G. A. Martin of the First
Methodist church. The high con
tracting parties were Mr. Dio 11.
Smith, of l'lattsniouth, Neb., and
Miss Clara A. Harvey, of this city.
Mr. J. I). Young and Miss Mary
Smith, of l'lattsniouth, acted as
groomsman and bridesmaid.
The groom is a bright and prom
ising young man and a trusty em
ploye of the locomotive department
of the H. & M. R. R. at l'lattsniouth,
where the happy couple will reside
in the future.
The bride is an accomplished
young lady and is esteemed as such
by all of her acquaintances. She is
the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
IS. W. Harvey, a highly respected
family.
The costumes worn were very
elaborate, that of the bride deserv
ing special mention, which was of
white fallie, decorated with pearls,
silk lace and range blossoms.
That of the bridesmaid was also
very pretty, consisting of cream
serge, trimmed with cream valencie
lace. The groom and groomsman
were dressed in plain black of the
regulation style.
The ceremony was performed at
high noon in the presence of about
twenty-five invited guests. After
congratulations all repaired to the
dining room, where a bountiful
table of delicacies had been pre
pared. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the
recipients of many very line gifts of
esteem, n list of which could not be
obtained. The Tribune joins many
friends in offering congratulations
and well wishes.-Heaver Valley
Tribune.
We glean from our exchanges
that the public schools through
the state commenced Monday, and
reports are encouraging from every
quarter. It has become a recog
nized fact that our school system is
gradually improving and the inte
rest in this important factors of
intellectual progress, is increasing.
Let us maintain educational advan
tages, in keeping with our general
advancement
Messrs. James Ruby, S. I. Long
and Jess McVey from near Murray
are in the city to-day.
Hon. Anderson Root, of L'nion, is
in the city to-day. Mr K. has a
load of very line apples, of the
Maiden blush variety.
Frank Moore, living south of town
is stepping high nowadays, in honor
of a little girl that made its appear
ance at his home last week.
Chas. Kreck, an employee of the
J. II. Waterman lumber yard of
Lincoln, is in the city. Mr. K. is
the manager of the enterprise.
Tom Rhodeu, a H. A: M. fireman, is
taking a few daj s' "lay olT" on ac
count of a bouncing boy baby at
his home. We never smoke, Tom,
thanks.
Mr Hollister isable to walk upon
the streets to-day, and will doubt
less be at his post in a few days. It
is hoped that such will be the case,
at any rate.
A. Nash, state secretary of the Y.

A fine train loard of Texas cattle
passed through this morning for
Chicago. There are a great ni"ny
western ranges being shoved to
market this season to the detriment
of our farmers that raise cattle on
a smaller and more expensivescale.
Several of the ex-H. & M's. were
passengers this morning oa the
Weeping Water excursion. Tin-boys
contemplate assisting in a game
of ball with the nine there to-day
It appear that our neighboring
town desires to entertain its l'latts
niouth visitors satisfactorily. Hy
the way, unless the democrats are
more enthusiastic than they were at
the primaries it will be difficult to
persuade them from neglecting the
convention in order to gaze upon
the ball game.
S. L. Furlong shipped by express
to-day a pig sick with the cholera,
to Mr. Frank S. Hillings, of Lincoln,
Nebraska. This pig is to be used
for the manufacture' of hog cholera
virus, to inccoculate well hos to
prevent them from having the
cholera in the regular waj. Mr.
Furlong inocculated fifty head of
hogs last fall, and it proved Mich a
success with him that he intends
toinocculate again this fall. Mr.
Furlong has made arrangements
for obtaining virus, anil can inoc
culate for any one wishing to do so
at a very reasonable price. -
Demoornt to Resolve.
Ij is conceded that a certain dele
gate to the Weeping Water conven
tion from l'lattsniouth contem
plates intoducing a resolution
censuring ex-Governor Hoyd for
his veto of the Newberry bill, and
it is expected that a lively time will
be had, as a great majority of the
party members sustain and pro
pose to stand by the party jecord
A few of the vote catches and plat
form formers, however, realize an
opportunity to induce a few third
patty men into their ranks, by thus
pledging democratic support. The
result is awaited with considerable
interest by our local politician of
all parties.
Make h Display,
Make a display of something at
the fair next week. Hriugyourbest

thing that will show the advantages
of Cass county generally, and your
own enterprise and ability, particu
larly. Let us show to adjacent
count ies Douglas, for instance
that Cass has the advantages and
she does not hesitate to place them
on exhibition. Cass need not take
a backseat for any of them if our
people will put forth an effort to
make a display in keeping with the
times and commensurate with sur
roundings. Commissions Proceedings.

No Excuse hr not having a
Home ot Your Own.
Put What you are paying out

7 per cent money for persons
wishing to build in South
Park.
Look to the Future
and invest now in
South Park.
THE OPPORTUNITY OF A
LIFE TIME.
Among other reasons why it is
better to invest in South Park than
elsewhere in the city, are these:
Property is more saleable if you
wish to sell, more rentable if you
wish to rent; if looking for an in
crease in value.no other part of the
city will compare with it in prospect
The 5th ward composed largely of
South Park, less than three years
ago could hardly muster up a vote
at the last general election the vote
was 13!) and all were not polled. It
has been less than two years since
the city invited us into the corpor
ate limits, yet we have over one hun
dred newly built house ond others
in process of construction, owned,
with few exceptions, by the parties
now living in them.
This part of the city has a store
water mains, electric' arc lights,
church and school priveledges and
a new church edifice just erected
of which the whole city is proud.
l'latisniotith's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its
population; the advance stand it
has taken regarding public im
provements, the certainty of a new
$S0,lKX) court house; the completion
of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. H. & O. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
l'lattsniouth.
With a tkwto thetncourayfiiuntof
u still greater growth ofthhpart of
the ail y, we will continue to sell lots on
monthly payments, furnish money
with whiih to erect houses will ex
change lots for other improved vily
property or for desirable improved or
unimproved lands.
It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this disirable
property. Out of over eighty pres
ent owners of South Park
property none are speculators
hence there are no fictitous values
and lots are Belling at about the
price they were imniediatly after
it was platted a strong argument
why the present is a most desirable
time for investments. Much addi
tional information regarding South
Park may be had by calling at my
office on Main street over Bank of
Cass County.
