A lively party of young fulks were
or.t to Joshua Gapeu's last evening on
a surprise party, and '.he reports come
in, thut the young people had a lively
time, especially on the home trip,
when they lound a certain mud hole
and uuloaded to get free from it. Of
course this part of it is not told as a
part of the evening's pro'rramme, but
it was, no doubt, very interesting.
Most of us have been in ju3t such pre
dicaments ourselves.
We understand that a number of
Plittsmouth capitalists will invest in
the Durango, Mexico, Iron Mountain
scheme, that Mr. Daily represents, and
that the arrangement in that connec
tion is that J. M. Roberts will go there
and enter the company's employ as
Auditor. If this arrangement prevail?,
we learn that Mr Roberts will take his
family with him to Darango, and that
he will become in fact an Anicrloan
rcsidenter on Mexicau soil.
At the opera house tonight tho peo
ple of Plattsmouth will have the op

The reputation Mr. Wilcox has as a
public speaker upon the great political
interests that most effect the people,
warrants every voter iu Plattsmcuth
in being in attendance at the opera
house tonight where they will be inter
ested entertained and instructed.
Tne daily News. Des Moines, special
says that Cantrell, a village of 250 in
habitants, in Van Buren county, Iowa,
is scourged by a yery fatal disease,
which is believed to be a violent type
of gray or bloody flux, though some of
the physicians pronounce it cholera.
The disease comes on with cramps, suc
ceeded by bloody discharges and
spasms. Deaths are one in four at
tacked. Thirty-two were sick yester
day and ten deaths had occurred. Three
died last night, two children and one
old la ly. At Milton, five miles west,
one death occurred, which physicians
ascribe to cholera. The neighborhood
Is not in the usual line of travel.
Murder and Suicide.
Lafct night the little vUIage-f Tobi -as
was thrown into a stale of over
whelming excitement by the fetartling
announcement that W. W. Farris, a
well-to-do Friend ville mechanic, had
murdered his wife, who was a resident
of Tobias, and had taken his own life.
Itjvt stigation conOrmed the report, and
Iho excitement grew more intense.
The facts in the case, as we glean
them from the divers reports afloat, are
as loiiows: air. farris ana ms wile
were living separately on account o
sumo previous domestic mfclicity, and
it U claimed Mrs. Farris was living th
companion of an illicit loyer at Tobias
Mr. Farris, it seems, met his wife at
that place some days ago, when aquar
red ensued, and 31 r. Farris declared he
would take her life. Things have pass
ed quietly since then, till yesterday
when the husband returned to make
good his word, aud succeeded in send
iug two souls into eternity. Crete

Twenty full blooded Omaha Indians
resplendent in the habiliments of civil
ization and fatter than 'possums, got
off the Wabash train last night and
went to the City hotel. They were the
same red men gathered from the reser
vation by Julius Meyer last fall and
taken to Europe by him under contract
with Count La Grange, as representa
tives of the French government. Mey
tr left them in .France last winter, and
since then the untutored brave hare
traveled through Germany, Austria,
Russia and England, having a royal
good time, and catching On to the hab
f ? of the white man enough to go out
occasionally and paint the town a lurid
carmine, or bright Vermillion. They

every squaw's son of them clinking

Omaha Herald,
A few days' visit to Cheyenne has
satisfied us that there is more business
done there than in any town between
Lincoln and San Francisco. Money
changes hands by the hundred thou -sand
dollars, and cattle by the thou
sand head. There is undoubtedly
double the amount of money repre
sented in Cheyenne, of any other town
of its size in the United States. The
city is beautifully situated, and sup
plied with all the modern advantages,
surh as electric light and water works,
as fine as there are in the land. New
and substantial brick buildings are go
ing up on every hand and prosperity is
visible on all sides. Oar great wonder
is that the B. & M. railroad has not ex
tended its line to that city ere now.

"So you were not drunk?" asked the
justice.
"No, bir," replied the prisoner, "I was
Sober."
"How do you know you were?" asked
the justice.
"Because, wheu the officer arrested
uie I had Sll iD my pocket, and was
afraid to go home,"' maintained the
piisouer.
The justice mused a moment, holding
his venerable head in his hands. Then
he spake:
"Prisoner, you are correct. You
were not drunk. But you were liable
to get drunk any moment. Go your
ways and don't shave the statute so
close another time." Ex.

Rock BliifTa Notes.
Ed. IIekald: No excitement of
importance since th-i mad dog cyze of
a few weeks go, ban ocruried to dis
turb the equilibrium of peace- in our
minds until a week ago last Saturday,
a aecret scheme leaked out of an effort
to move the postotfice.
Parties have been playing the deuce
with onr ducks again ; indeed, we have
come to think that there fl ho time but
what tome niifecMef is brewing to some
one else's displeasure and their own pe
cuniary advantage. This time they
have been playing a secret, uudehand
ed game to have oue appointed post
mistress and instead of circulating a
petition among tLe regular patrons of
the orac, they go to -Nebraska City, 25
miles away, and employ a lewyer, who
always work for a consideration, you
you know, to use his influence with
Senator Van Wyck to have the ap
pointment made. Then a petition is
Secrp.tiv rlrrillntpil umnnrr nnl cw.no.l
by a few. a part of whom are not rat -
rons of the office at all ; then the word
tuuies uy icucrirom me, lawyer "to
send on that petition and he would put
it tnrough.
.wo cuarges. or complaint are made
against the present incumbent of the
office, but the scheme is one to gratify
a spirit of revenge upon the people of
this community, who once took the
poatofficeaway on account of the care
icos mnuuer in wnicti tne ouice was
Conducted.
Well, when this scheme leaked out,
we moved around pretty lively, and the
first day we got sixty signers to a peti
tion of remonstrance against removal,
of the regular patrons of the office, and
wuen the remonstrance was sent off
last Friday, it contained the names of
one hundred and three patrons of this
office, who are opposed to the new ap
plicant being appointed as their poet
mistress.
Should we Succeed in heading off.thia
scheme to impose upon the people of
this community, we will hold our
breath in fear, and anxiously await to
see what the next mischief will be.
Special Agent George L. Seybolt
found it necessary once to investigate
a little matter that occurred in the of
fice while another was' postmaster, and
the result of that investigation leads us
to thind that our mail matter will be a
great deal better if the postoffice does
not go back there.
Los Graves has traded off his town
property to Charles Carroll for a span
of horses and wagon. It seems that
horses are legal tender for town prop
erty here, for this is the third time that
this same property has been sold for a
team in about two years.
Mrs. F. M . Young of Rock Creek has
been very sick for some time, but we
are glad to hear that 6he is getting bet
ter. Up at Charles Nix's a nine pound
boarder arrived a lew weeks ago. We
don't know, but we fancy that Charley
is wearing high-heeled boots, for this is
the first boy of three children.
A wedding occurred at Michael
Archer's last Sunday. His daughter
ou and Elmer Jewell, of Mt. Pleasant,
concluded that single blessedness was a
humbug. So Charles Graves, our Just
ice of the Peace, gave them permission
to sail as one, by tying them to the ship
of matrimony. New that Michael has
ost his housekeeper, we expect to be
able to tell you before long why he at
tended the Republican Itallv last week.
The old days of solid prairie digs has
returned, and the fellow that can't
scratch, yes sir, scratch, and the harder
he scratches the more comfort he en-
oys, is entirely out of fashion, and you
may tell Reporter of Three Groves that
he needn't think that the comfort of
scratching is altogether confined to his
neighborhood, for it is not.
Yours truly. Tim Shaver.
