The Nebraska City Evfiinj Time which has formerly been a one cent pa per, yesterday increased the subscription price to 10c per week. The increase was necessitated on account of eulargeinc the paper and a growth in the ammount of reading matter, but the paper is ttill well worth the price asked. Tim riin sociable triven bv the ladies of the M. E. church at the par sonage was an enjoyable and financial success. The house was filled with peo pie, both young and old and music nnd games made the time pass by pleasantly and the various pies, and coffee were s'.Tved in an abundance to satisfy all The proceeds of the evening amounted to an even 10, which was all profit. The eminent lecturer, A. O'Leary. on physiology and hygiene etc., will give a course of lectures in this city at Itock- wood Hall, commencing on Wednesday, Xov. 9th. Dr. O' Leary has been lectur inir in various cities since he was here last. His lectures are made interesting from the fact that he tells his audien e just whattlu;y desire to know adout the laws of health and their every day living. Plattsmouth real estate a3 a rule is not very high, but in tome cases it is quite steep. Yesterday one of our prom inent real eutate dealers was out trying to show the advantages of a lot to a customer from the upper side as it wa. on a hill side, but here the agent thought the lot looked steep and suggested thej go below and look up, as it probably would, from there, appear better. W doubt if the appearance was bettered as from below the lot looked high, whih above it looked low, and people wlso buy real estate want it just as low a. they can get it. A change in the working time-table at the shops this morning will make tin employers hustle a little more than us ual, and quite a number were late this morning. The regular working hours are now from a qnarter of seven in the morn ing till noon. The noon hour is cut down to three-quarters of an hour and work begins again at a quarter to one. and stops in the evening at half past five. Hence the change in the blowing of the shop whistle, which will hereafter blow at G:30 and 6:43 a. m. 12 and 5:30 p. m.

Then they adjourned to meet next Friday evening at 8 o'clock in the county judge's ofnee, and a full attendance of all members is cquested. TIirMAlLV LAW SHALL LIVE. Decision of the United State3 Su premo Coutt. The Law Upheld. The motion and arguments which were made Friday ami Saturday before the United States supreme court at Wash ington for a writ of error in the anarchist case, of Chicago, and which were uni versally published, were all for naught. The supreme court upheld the lower courts in their decisions and opinions and the following dispatch from Omaha which was kindly furnished by Dr. A. Salisbury, strikes a thrill of safety, from the ravngo of anarchy, to the hearts of all true Americans: "The United States Supreme Court de nied motion for writ of error in the anar chist case." The only possible hope for the anar chists now is for Gov. Oplcsby, of 111., to interfere in behalf of the condemned men, an I it is not at all likely he will. The execution of the seven anarchists is now almost certain, and with them dies anaichy in America. The day set for their execution, we understand, is November 11th 1H87, which is on? week fro.n Friury. Observations of Mrs. Spurloclt on Her Way to Syracuse, N. Y- For Tun JirifAi.n. Leaving I'lattsm oulh by the way of Louisville, on the evening of the 24th (Oct.). W reached Kansas City Tues day morning, and after a few moments for refreshments, we sped on southward of the city and it seemed interminable in that direction; absolutely mountains were bring removed to made way fur man to occupy. Our journey through Missouri was the romantic part of our trip. Now I know th3 noii-Missou! ;:in will smile, 'nut really. I am telling the truth, the towns are so ancient and historic. Hero in the days of antebellum, hud lived the wealthy southern gentleman and his home was a place of jolly hospitality. When the ex chequer was depleted he had no tv ingo ings of conscience in thrusting onto the market another "nigger". And thus in a financial exigency, was this chattel, cither in the person of a baby, a child, or parent, made the source of revenue, as our thrifty farmer does his cattle, hogs etc. now days. Ayo, conscience slumber ed, lulled by the oft repeated story that bible authority was its based rock, di vinely appointed and destined to uni versality. What a change, marked traces of the new sotuh on every side. The old time brick mansion has changed hands and the former occupant sleeps in the silent city near by. The old black man too, had gone to tli3 land where, "de white.f oiks set 'old. shady' free." Field an Uiouse and woodland, gay in autumnal dress, all seemed silent as the grave to me. St. Lou? i was reached at G:50 and we could not find comfortable standing room in the depot. People by the hun dreds crowded every available inch of room, it seemed to mo; I could not tell where they were going or what they were going for, and they all seemed to be in the same blissful ignorance respecting each other. The babies screamed and the policemen were being button holed on all sides, an I had they looked more pleasant should have thought they were being lectured. Half past eight we wee again allowed to take train to Indianap olis, via Green Castle. The darkness of the night forbade us seeing the Mississippi bridge, as we so much desired; but we lid cross the great bridge, and ere long, we were at Green Castle, Ind. The seat of learning, Depauw University, made tnore permanent by the great gift of one and a half million dollars, by Mr. Depauw. The school is far and widely inown, especially to the numerous fami ly of Methodists, and needs no flurish of trumpet from me. But here I found the oy to me, of all bo ys well and doing .veil, so says the president. But we must hasten on to Cleveland, vhere we tuk the Lake Shore road and ioon behold Lake Erie, what to a child )f the western, constituted a real ovation dl to myself, as all the other passengers scarcely gave it more than a passing look. But here we are at Buffalo. Mus. Isabella S. SrcHLOCK. PESSOMAU. O. P, Smith, the druggist, was in Omaha tod a. Coroner Henry Bceck went out to Louisville this morning. Mrs. T. J.

It is one of those new things that now and then pop up in the amuse meat line, and throws everybody into real, generous, hearty laughter. There is fun in it from beginning to end, and the fun is mainly new. The audience is constantly running up against an amus ing surprise. The entire performance is a perfect creation in its way perfect for the purpose for which it was designed. It is fortuitous, happy, glads 'me and satisfying all the way through. It is qnite in the habit of the people who go to funny shows to say after tho perform ance is over that there is a lot of foolish ness in it. Of course there was, but don't the world like foolishness? Don't the people crave it like they do a refreshing cocktail, or a cup of tea, or a bottle of effervecing soda? "We, Us & Co." was -written to amuse and it does amuse. It amuses those in the orchestra as well of those it the top gallery. It is broadly numerous, and delicately humerous at turns. There are many exquisite points in it the most re fined man or woman on earth would enjoy. There is no plot to f-peak of but there is a sort of frame work which is artistically tilled. What is laid out to be done is done well. Tlie cast is a thorough ly compotent one. The stage effects arc all good; many of them surprising. The scene in the second act is unusually beautiful. All through tlie performance there are introduced striking mechanical uovilties, and the effect of tvhatissaid and done by the players is most delightfully heigthtened by appropriate stage accessories. When one sees "We, Us & Co.," he is not sur prised that it is a great hit. There is enough in it for two good entertainments of this order, and it richly deserves the success it has made. New York World. At the opera house next Saturday night. Rock CreeK. Whnt glorious weather for corn husk ing. Every farmer you meet is hugging himself with delight, the only drawback to his happiness being the fact, that hired help is very scarce. The cold wave of the 22-24, was somewhat of a surprise; we were not ex pecting old Boreas along so aarly, nnd there were a few apples, potatoes etc., which suffered in consequence. The ladies of the Women's Home Mis sionary Society of the Christian church at this point gave a literary entertain ment and supper last Wednesday even ing which was a decided success, social ly, artistically, and financially. The lit erary programme given as a prelude to the feast, consisted of singing, instru mental musif. and recitations. An ad dress of welcome was read by Miss Katie Young, with good intonation and deliv ery. Most excellent recitations, giving token of careful preperation, and appro priate to the occasion, were given by the Misses Ilattie and Nellie Holmes, Miss Annie Young, Ola Calkins, Ruth Churchill, Lucy Edmonds and Mrs. Tap ley Faught. Miss Luella Young pre sided at the organ and contributed in no small degree, to the pleasure of the evening. At the close of the literary work the tables which were groaning under their load of good things in the way of eatables, were thrown open to the assembled hundreds, and apprecia tive squads of hungry people sat down and arose satisfied. The only draw back to the evening' festivity was oc casioned by the cook stove tipping over during an early hour--nobody hurt, but some awful good coffee wasted. The ladies of the society tell us they were ably assisted by friendly outside hands. Among these who kindly as sisted was Mrs. Wm. Morrow and Mrs. Lou Moore. The receipts of the even ing were something near thirty dollars. The Sunday School nt this place have in course of preperation a Thanksgiv ing service, which gives promise of be ing a literary treat. Politics does not seem to be trobliug us much. Everybody seems satisfied with the ticket and we have heard very little about scratching. Carlton.

SCENES IN A BERRY BOG IN BARN STABLE COUNTY. How tlio 'Oxyoocoiit Macrooarpns" I Gutlicretl in thu Capo Coil Krglon.1. Iiotlt Sexes ana All Age at Yi'orl Daily Wages. Tho cranberry log is now dry. Tho vino: you must know, am but a few inches nlovo ground, and the ground is red with tlie de licious fruit. This log I now describe may Ins six to ton rod.-s wiuaiv, moro or less. I.im .i are fastened to i's in tlie ground, dividin-; tlio proimd mto rows or alloys some live or six feet wide. Tho pickers bein two in ea.-h of UiciiO rows. D own c.;i their marrow honey, old men and wonu-n, yium;; men a?:d maid ens, and ehildr. m, too any one that will work and stick to .Such the owners must have. Each pn:- n -; r.ro v ided with a "meas ure'' a tin vexsi holding just six quarts. With tho "measure" between the knes tho picker claws, and r.ikos, and scoop.? with lii.j or her lingers a :-l ai-hers tho lorries in. Komo leaves ixmiI sticks, and wiLh sonu rogues (Ixjys, of eouri v) much besides ber ries go into mo liierujru Uie screening pro cess later on se;:trat!'i.'7 tho fruit cleuif. und pure, liut the o.io that i;s too careless or dis honest in his pie!:;n;rs flads, inaybo, that tho old truth, "The way of tho transgressor ij hard," has not died out on the cape. "No more of your pickings here, blast your eyes! Doncher know eruuberrie from jl,thss and sticks and things Cut out!'' And so the de linquent picker uaiijjs back for a spell, to try again, or maybe trots on to tho next bog to ceo if ho or she i.my not jrhaps do b-tter. For it must bo known that "picking" en tho capo is a mattor of uo little imprirf.tnoo to these hardy sons ;:ad daughters of tho soil; it means bread tuxl hutt-v and clothc3 anil ribbons and thi'i. v! to th so girls and boys and men and women, who hav e to push hard in many ways through tho year to mnko both ends meet. On they go, the rows nil full, two by two a man and his wife in one row, two sisters in another, two hardy young men in another. Old Drat-it-all so ctdled from his constant uso of tho word r.t any annoyance or sur prise that meets him has his grandson by his side, just learning to pick, in snh-l'j and heart and strength tirry are two children to gether. And here end there, no mistake about it, a young lr.nn und young woman aro by themselves in anoUivr row, each of whom believes that the company of the other is about tho best thero can bo this si lo tho heavenly shore. You hear but l.ttle talk from them as thny ci ecp along upon their knees. They hear and understand each other, to be sure, but no one else knows of their converse. It is hard on the Lauds, this hervy picking. Some wear finger trails, but others nothing, and at night th:ir poor finder ends tu e red, sore, aching and bium covered with "Lang nails." Think of this, yo families, as you smack your chops next w inter over th i lunch of turkey and (ah:) that relishing erunherry sauce the berries sobered with the pains and patience of t his same earnest, good hearted fellow, or this same best girl of his, on tho resplendent September day. Some of tho pickers can pick two measures to tlio others' one. A smart housewife will, leave her kitchen and children to tha care of tho husband, and, while he minds tho dinner pot, does tho chores aud smokes his pipe, sho will "go out a-pickin7 '' and earn $1.50 yes, CO a day. "It's real nice," raid one to ni3 tho other evening, "to go r.-piekin' and grow fal on it. I xsrnt last fall well on to $40 a-pick-in' cranberries, while Bijs, here, stayed at homo and took etrre of tilings." A new picker cannot earn easily more than fifty to sixty ceuts a day to start with, and cfter tho first days attempt, if ho does not wake up next morning sorer and stiiler than any army mule after a day's campaign, whv then he is smart u::d endm-Jng that's all. The whole work is done on the Lands and knees. An intelligent young man among tho pickers said to rne, "Doesn't it remind ono of the southern slavc.3 thai used to be." "Weil," I said, "as a pictu' o photographed you might call it slavery on tho Cape; buu then it i not a cotton field. You are net a negro nor a slave. That overseer that stands behind the row3 to see if ycu don't 'monkey' yom- meas ure carries no whin. He's rather free with his slang and 'cow' wo; d, but you can talk as well a3 he.. You can voto n3.i November as many times as he can. If ho abuse.-; your Bistor with his slang or too much dictation you can up and nt hlrj with your tongue o? lists if necessary. You aro a 'so vt reign' as great B3 he, and, thaiik God, yon are a free American citize.il" "That's co," said tho brawny fellow; ar.d he slapped back with. Ins emptied measure to L:s row, and was fast filling it again, with all the spirit and will of j a man that's bent on succe.is and a living". Each person ctui-yin a full measure, "six quarts" (no partial Measure is counted), to tho "house, or p.aco of screening and pack ing, receives a ticizct. "When a picker can show ten of thcio first tickets ho can ex change them for o:w ne.v ticket cf ten times tho value, and so on; and a.3 the timi pro gresses this arrur.goaieut is sirnpl.'fi.-d and carefully looked ; co that at tlie end ono can sum up his earaiiis very easily. The pickers go to work at a very rci;-;ona,- blo hour from 7:'j to 'J a. in. m.-.nv of them, mothers of families and others, com ing several miles to tho ground after morning housework is done. At noon all knock off Cor their lunch ur.dcr tho trea, among tha bushes, or in some convenient hoii;;e. An hour or less of rest and chut, sometimes a little sport, and the afternoon toil legins. Pick, scratch, vi-rape, and pick! Time after tim r the fail "i-.ioasura" goes to the 'house, ' until the lengthening shadows come. Tho overseer keeps behind, presenting, it must be confessed, a slight suggostion of tho old slave driver of tho southern cotton field or tho diamond mine; but, as before said, he has no whip, and it is a sort of free slavery. If you don't like the work nnd place, just up and "git" no man is j-our master. Only, if you choose to pick craubcrries, you must pick them clean and fair. lou must fill your measure and keep out all sticks, rub bish, etc., so far as possible; aud you must not skylark it too much with your work mates. The last half of tho measureful of the day say about 4:30 or 1:13 o'clock is about the hardest part cf the day's job. Eut a little moro scratching, a few more wide, clean sweeps of the weary hands and the last brimful measure it may bo 3"our twelfth, or possibly your t wentieth, if you are au ex pert is done ar.d the head man shouts, "All off!" and with the crowd, of thirty or fo:-ty oth ers you hurry to the "house," take your turn to empty, receive a r.ew ticket or exchange those you have, hang up your measure and think of homo. Horses are put in, coats and jerseys put on, dinner baskets seized and tho crowd scatters after the "Goodbys." "See you to-morrow, Jim," "Coming to Crowell's bog, Maud, to-morrow?" etc., etc. Uaru 6table County (Mass.) Cor. Chicago Tribune. Xew Scliool of Morality. "Mamma, Lill has been telling another fib!
