It is s iid a certain democratic lawye r and prominent democratic orator was ar rested Halloween night by policeman Jack O'Ncil. This democratic lawyer is said to have plead so vigorously, earnest ly an I tearfully, that the policeman felt nfr;M,.,l to let In in sro iu peace, after .vu-- - - - o he hid' promised to sin no more.

Smith & Co., are receiving new goods daily which surpasses anything brought to Platts mouth in the line of holiday goods,and all kinds of goods sutiable for Christ m s rfi'it? can be found there. Mr. Smith . is to be congratulated for the taste dis played in arranging the new store. A farewell party was given in hon or of Mr. Ch irley Blackmar an engineer on the B. ic. M. whose run was from Plattsmouth to Lincoln. A very enjoy able evening was spent in dancing and other amus.-ments. Mr. Blackmar goes to Hofyoke from here where he has secured another position on the road. The party was given by J. J. "Whistler and wife. Henry Carter last Saturday, started for Ilcurieks with a load of goods for Reed. He also had a couple of men on board who were going over to work on the grade. On the road south of Elm wood one of the men lit his pipe and threw the match down in the wagon which ignited some coal oil that had leaked from a barrel which constituted a part of the load. The fire was beyond control when discovered, and the men had to work fast to save the remainder of the load and get the team out of the way. The barrel of oil and the wagon were burned in a very short time. Hen ry borrowed a wagon and continued his journey with a lighter load and re turned home the following day. Weep in" Water llepallican. ANNUAL CONVENTION. . M. 8. in Session at Syracus N. Y W. H Mrs. Hayes Presides- Mrs. B. Spurlock, representative of the Nebraska Home Missionary society ut the annual national assembly at Syracuse, N. Y., and our special correspondent for the occasion sends us the following hasty ac count of the-proceedings of the assembly on last Saturday: A handsome Hag was draped over the great organ in the First Methodist church this morning, and the letters "W. H. M. S." in white were suspended above the pulpit, which was decorated with potted plants. Another flag was draped in front of the gallery in the rear, and the whole church was made brighter and more at tractive by those arts which only women know how to exercise. These changes in the wonted appearance of the auditorium were in honor of the delegates to the sixth annual meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist Epis copal church, which began this morning and will continue a week. It is a remark able gathering of women, too, thatrepre s( nt nearly eyery state in the Union, and their intelligence and refinement were manifested at every stage of the proceed ings in the opening of this important na tional meeting. The ladies began arriv ing in the city last night and every train this morning brought several of them, so that when the hour arrived for calling the convention to order there were about 200 delegatess and visitors present. Timrn xwna no confusion and the ladies could give the managers of the political gatherings points on how to manage a convention. The contereuces reprcscmeu were Central Ohio, Cincinnati, Central New York, Central Pennsylvania, Detroit, Erie, Eastern Ohio, Genesee, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebras ka, New York, Northern New lork, Newark, Northern Ohio& Northwestern Indiana, New Hampshire, New England, Southern New England, New Jersey, Northwestern Iowa, Philadelphia, Pitts burg, Itoek River, Southeastern Iudi ana, Southern Illinois, Troy, Upper Iowa, Vermont, Wyoming and Baltimore. There were but few men . present, and they occupied back seats; having no voice in this gathering. The ladies are not loud talkers, although they have some orators atnong them, and, therefore, they were requested to take the seats nearest the pulpit, so that they cou!d hear and be heard. The meeting was very harmonious this mornin"-, there being no contested dele gations to create annoyance, and no dis satisfaction was caused by the appoint ments of the several committees, of which the most important was that on the nom- . . i.: i.,.i",.fn inations. The oscuiatory greenu .. the meeting began precluded the possi bility of any unfriendly feeline being displayed in this body. If there is any jelousy the ladies are too diplomatic to allow it to be saen, and if there is any caucusing or log-rolling done it is done in a manner too ingenious for the average reporter to apprehend. In her addrtss to the meeting, Mrs. Hayes, the president, said: "The reports f tua covor-il officers, of the Woman's J A. VilU v. - - . Home Missionary society, which will be read before the society during the sessions of this annual meeting, will sufficiently spread before you the work of the last T4- .mnolno til PfpforC for !13 tO j ci i . 1. i lin.ii. .j, - - ' ihank. as I now do, our friends in thi beautiful city for the very cordial wel- fl.nrr l.ivo nxtended to US. I beg tUlllC LllVJ UUlu " leave to repeat from the remarks made bv ma last vear at Detroit a single ml " nararrai)1i: 4 We -would reflect on no I O ft. other benevolent enterprise, We would discourage no other beneficent work o.ltol np onrlnrspd hv the ChuTC.ll. But our conviction is that the best hope for liiimnnitv is in America.' Home missions seek to protect our own land from im ! i.octh.nUni Tim condition of the emancipated race in our southern states till engages the attention of the patriot and the philanthropist. But the facts do not permit us to indulge the hone that the Christians of America have done and are doing their whole duty with respect to the Africans within our own borders and at our own doors Never before was the progress of settle ment in our new states and territories so rapid as it is now. It is largely mission ary ground ar.d rapidly filling up will a population mainly of Protestant pro clivities. They are unable to suppoi ministers but they need the gospel am wish to have it preached among them The Methodist church has been called rlmrch. No true Methodis will neglect the pioneer mission work o the church. The Indians still claim our attention. The cloud of Mormonisn which hangs over Utah is spreading to other territories. The claims of mission ary work whose aim is the improvement of American homes are attractive ami urgent. America is the cradle of the future for all the world. The future of America is in her homes, and her homes depend on the mothers ef America. Hence the value and importance of mis sionary societies, whose work is done by women in the homes of our own beloved country." Friday was spent in hearing of the southern work where "model homes" have been built beside each school established by our church in the south. The reports were full of encouragement, yet they re- port the field a needy one which calls loudly for more help, for the colored J people will either sink lower or rise hi "her. and, as they are a . mighty fac- tor in this republic, we should look to it as the responsible agents. Mrs. Hester ' a colored woman representing that state, She learned her letters after Bhe was fifty years old. She was on inspiration, Her work is among the sick and needy 43 colored people. Mrs. Mathew Bnswncy of Castle Garden, N. Y., gave a graphic account of eighty-four ships per month that come in the year round ladened with emigrants and many were sick, destitute and deluded and that the Christian church of America had no "Bethel" for them. She plead that something be done to help capture these people for christian citizenship ere they were tak?h by wicked women and worse men for base purposes, as well as to shelter and care for the helpless and sick. She asked for money to build a "Barbara Heck" home in Castle Garden which would reflect honor on she who was the first Methodist ceic-bration of that estimable lady's fifty woman missionary in America as well as sct;olui birthday. By careful munagc exalt the Christian endeavor of the nent oll tue ,Kirt ()f those haying the Woman's Home Missionary society of tho Methodist church, which proposition was acceeded in a pledge of one thousand dollars to begin the work at once, and the enthusiasm grew to an almost uncon- tue OCC;lsioU wag ju all respects a pleas trollable height when the president said ant oliC "Let us all arise and sing 'All hail the jjr3 Kennedy has long been a member lower of Jesus name.'" On Subbath the several pulpits will be filled with the different speakers trom abroad who will talk on the several lines of our evangelistic work. Your corres- ondent has consented to speak in East racuse Sabbath evening on the rem- perance Work in Nebraska. The following resolution was adopted by a rising vote. Ihsolrcd. That we are proud of our dear mother church in tfiat she is welcom ing her daughters to a seat in her highest c'Tislative body.
