It was rumored this morninjr that Cleveland would not stop at Plattsmoutl as there was no encyclopedia in the city. Hut a later telegram imformed him there was one in use in the public schools, bu as the professor neglected to bring i with him, the president's audience re ccived no answer to their cry of "speech, speech. " Mrs. J. t Johnson has recently re turned from St. Louis where she pure-has cdthe linestlotof hats, bonnets, ribbons and other millinery that could lie fount there. We have taken a personal look at them and pronounce them superior to anything of the sort eyer brought to I'lattsmouth. Mrs. Johnson desires lict lady patrons to call and see these beau tiful goods before the nicest of them art- sold. Mrs Cleveland is a very neat and pleas ant looking yountr lady, and with her husband smiled and bowed to the crowd The old cannon which had been hauled to the brink of the river was fired three times but the report lacked vim on ac count of the lack of powder, or else it coulden't belch for Grover. Just before the train started, for some reason, it backed a few feet and a little girl stand ing in the crowd of men at the rear plat form came near getting under the wheels When the train pulled out the president remained in the door and waved his hands at the people as he passed. An extra coach was attached to the Q train this morning with the following named persons onboard from this city to sec the president: Mrs. Wendell and Mrs C. S. Forbes, Mr. Cntes and daugh ter Mrs. B. S. Ilamge, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Houseworth, Mrs Eikenbary, Sul livan, and Emery, Mrs. I)r Livingston nndIrs. Pcttcc, Mr. and Mrs R. B.

McCoy and daughters Maud and Mamie, Mr. and Mis. W. C Willetts and Mr J. It. Ilatt. There were others but we did not know their names so we'eannot give them . But the strang est thing of all was in the crowd we could not find one that would own up . that theyjwere going to see the president, a few of the men did admit they were going to see Mrs. Cleveland but all said they would not walk half a block to see Mr. Cleveland. The President in Plattsmouth The presidential train arrived hen about 15 minutes after one o'clock and stopped at the depot about three minutes. A crowd of about 500 men women and children had gathered along the plat form or in the street and a few had carriages. The train was composed of three elegant drawing-room cars and a baggage car. As soon as the train stopped tho gate to the rear platform of the "president's car was thrown open and Miss Jeannettc Livengston with a beautiful basket of roses was helped to the platform. The door was opened and the presiJen: and Mrs. Cleveland stood just within. Mbs Jeannettc entered the door and presented the basket to Mrs. Cleveland and pressed a kiss on her right cheek and then re tired. The basket was the compliment of Dr. R. R. Livingston to Mrs. Cleve land. President Cleveland and his bride then appearctl upon the platform and the crowd cheercel separately for each. Mrs. Cleveland then withdrew to within the door while the president shook for the votes. ' PERSONAL. Charles L. and Anna Colenan went to Omaha to visit friends to-day. Mrs. W. J.

We hear in a round-about way that Mark White, who went northwest some time ago, has been obbed of all hi money, between five uud six thousand dollars. Tim jiiavkb. uow "Dixio" Came to be Written. It was on a Saturday night in 1S50, when Dan Eniniett was -a member of Bryant's minstrels in New York, that Dan Bryant came to Emmet t and said: "Dan, can't you get up a walk around? I want something new and lively for Monday night." At that date all minstrel shows used to wind up with a walk around. The demand for them was constant, and Emmett was the composer of all of them for Bryant's minstrels. Emmett, of course, went to work, but he had done so much in that lino that nothing at first, pre sented itself that ho liked. At last he bit upon the first two bars, and any composer can tell how good a start that is in the manufacture of a tune. By Sunday afternoon he had the words, commencing "I wish I was in Dixie." Tho colloquial expression is not, as most people suppose, a southern phrase, but first appeared among the circus men in the north. In early fall, when nipping frosts would over take the tented wanderers, the boys would think of the genial warmth of tho section they were heading for, and the common ex pression would be: "Well, I wish I was in Dixie." This gave the catch line; tho rest of the song was original. On Monday morning tho song was rehearsed and highly commend ed, and at night a crowded house came to hear the refrain, and half or the auditors went home singing "Dixie." I ho song be camo the rage, and Newcomb's, the Buckleys' and other minstrel parties gav? i.mmett tivo dollars for the privilege of using it. Mr. Wcr lein. of New Orleans, wrote to Emmett to secure the copyright, but without waiting for au answer published it, with words by a Mr. Peters, l'ond, of New i orl:, secured it from Emmett, and gave him $000, but Wer lein sold thousands of copies without giving Dan a nickle. Not only vis Emmett robbed of the profits of his song, but the authorship of it was disputed. I'ond brought tho matter Spfoi-o a music oublishers' convention and se tied the question of authorship, but Dan reaped no beneht from this tardy Justice. Emmett got into trouble about his song dur incr the war. It was considered a rebel song, and a sapient editor in Maine declared that Dan was a secessionist, end. that he should be treated as one, although the song was written two years before tho commencement of the rebellion. Professor Kane in Baltimore American. Disposiu? of Obnoxious Customers. One of the quietest and most effective ways we have of disposing of obnoxious customers is simply giving orders that they shall not be waited upon. A policeman came litre one night and after ordering a good meal disputed tho price and mado a great fuss. Tho man in charge threw his money back to him and told him never to come in here again. Then he told tho waiters that any one who would wait on that man might consider himself dis charged. The policeman did come in a few nights afte: , and every wa.ter had something to do that engrossed all his attention. The officer asked for a cup of coffee, and every one seemed to bo afflicted with deaf ness. When he did succeed in commanding the attention of ono waiter ho was told tler was no coffee, no tea, nothing for him. He finally realized the situation, took his hat and walked out, end he has never been here since. TVe hav tried tho same plan successfully with young bloods who have thought it a ood joke to empty a bottle of catsup into tho sugar bowl. ilestaurant Clerk in Globe-Democrat. SUHSUM COROA.

Tho hou.se:, of the unlives uro all numbered j in large figures, paiute.i in Llack over tho front anl only entrance to their homes, the numbers running consecutively. This metro politan feature was introduced by one Capt. Glass, a United States military oflieer, then titutioneil at Sitl:-i, and was inaugurated as a military measure before tho civil government was established, and for the purpose of locat ing and identifying u truant Indian child when absent from the Indian school during tlio hours of its session. At that tiino the In dian children wero compelled by tho military authorities to att'-nd sehool, each scholar be ing obliged to wrvir a tag made of tin and fastened by means of u string around the neck. The tag was ubout three times tho size of a silver dollar, and bore the number of the child in seliool and the number of tho house in whieh it lived. If a child was found on the street during school hours tho Indian policeman, who was also chief of tho trile, and whoso name is Aunehootz, was under strict orders to take tho number of tho tag and report it. Tho next morning the head Indian of tho house to which tho child belonged was sum moned to appear and answer for the absence of the truant, and if such absence was found to have been willful the head Indian was fined or imprisoned. A few fines were found sufficient and had tho effect of procur ing a prompt and punctual attendance of all the children. Tlo.i means was found noces- ary in order to overcome tho antipathy of th parents ngniast having their children uuucaied, ana thcieoy drawn away from tho aaieieut customs, traditions and methods of living of their race. This custom ha ; fallen into disuse since the establishment of civil government in May, l.Sy-1. Tho parents have come to know and understand the benefits derived from the edu cation of their children, and are now quite ready to lend their assistance in compelling them to attend the school. Tho term of sehool commences in September of each year, and continues forty-four weeks. Thero are ten teachers and 105 scholars, with about equal proportions of boys and girls, running in ago from five to eighteen j'ears, and representing tho several tribc-s of southeastern Alaska Thej- are taught tho primary English branches and the boys ar- also instructed in blae-k- smithing, cooijerago, cabinet " making and cnrpuiitry, while tho girls are taught sewing, knitting, cooking and various other house hold duties. lloaio Journal. Attractive and Telling Advertisements. Tho old style ol' merely puCIng one's mer chandise has passvfd out of date. Tho reading and purchasing public of today demand something strong r and better. That this want is recogniz J and appreciated by the keen advertiser and equally alert public is ap parent to almost every one. Tho fact is, ad vertising has become such an integral part of modern business i.;ethods that it is almost im possible to ciu ry on any kind of trade or trade without its aid. It is well known that many concerns pay largo salaries to skilled writers, whose only employment is tho inven tion and the framing of attractive and telling advertisements. Thousands of dollars are annually ex pended simply iu putting tho matter in shape, and many millions more for its publication in lha press. 1 he una who can express in clear, strong and concise language, set iu attractive form of display, just what it has to offer, at onco attracts the merchant as well as the con- su mcr. Io merchant can now wholly depend for business upon the fact of his being well known to the trade. Io matter how many years ho may have been established, or how familiar his liawo is to tho purchasing public, or how celebrated his waxes are, if ho does not adver tise and keep doing so in some way buyers and conrumers will in tirno ignore him and visit and trndo with his competitor who sounds his trumpeb upon all occasions to the extent of thousands of dollars a year, anel pays tho same without murmur because it pays him to do so. Dry Goods Review. Gen. I'ieasonton's "Mockingbird." "How did I hnppjn to bo called 'ilockinr- bird rieasonton?" said he. "That came out of an incident of tho war. For three months when wo were down there In tho swamp with AlcClellan, with men dying around us by thousands, not a trumpet was sounded and not a band played. Theso were McClellan's orders. Now, I believe in bands on the field. Tho men were depressed and discouraged. My experience has been that a lively time will ma;;e tne ooys ngiit better. 'One day I went into McClellan's head quarters and told Lim that the morrow would be the Fourth of July. I suggested that we should havo a grand review, a salute to the flag and that the bands should givo us some patriotic me-sic. Also recommended him to issue a stirring address to the troops. The idea pleased him, and he made out the necessary orders. Not long after that we got into action. I rode down to the front and. found the line breaking. You see the men's aramunition was gi ving out, and even a vet eran will ran rather than take the chances of being shot without having the opportunity of returning in kind. "I got some artillery in position to hold the lino, and I saw two bands near. I ordered them to play something lively, and they gave the 'Mocking Bird.' The runaways stopped wnen they heard the music. Ammunition was quickly distributed, and with a cheer they jumped to the front and charged the Johnnies, completely routing them. Some body dubbed mo tLe 'Mocking Bird,' but the J l Q 1 1 rj . u p f name never went beyond my own troops," j 1 1 VI U fl A H L U iJostoD traveler. A Very Large Idea. "I havo & very largo idea," said the old crank who is always raving about street ob structions. "As n is perfectly evident that the streets will continue to be torn up for a century at least, I propose to make the pro cess easy by arranging the streets on a new plan. Instead of cobblestones or blocks I would have the street covered with large bridges, the width of the street and about fifty feet long. Then it will only be necessary to hoist up one or more bridges, fix tho gas or water pipo or insert some ruoro wires in the conduits and clap down the bridges again in the turn of tUe wrist. Of course you under stand that the streets are to bo excavated be neath tho bridges from curb to "curb to a depth of ten feet. I claim that this plan will save tiino and money, although it will spoil tho contractor s tun. .Philadelphia Call. Attention, Ladies!
