Judge Busncll granted license to wed to-day to Jay D. Freeman and Miss May A. Balir. Light snow fell north of here to-day, The train from Omaha carried small patches of snow on the platform. Everything is getting in tip top shape for the B. of L. F. ball next "Wednesday night at the opera house. The dance at Fitzgerald's hall last night by the T. A. M. was another sue cess. There was a good number present and all went well. A number of Plattsmouth people ex pect to go up to Omah in the morning to attend the concert given by Gilmour's band in the evening.

' is Dr. O'Leary's subject at Bockwood hall to-night. Everybody in Plattsmouth should be present and hear this discourse. E. T. Wtlber, a St. Louis traveling man, has purchased a number of lots in South Park. The investment of foreign capital in Plattsmouth is a good indi cation of prosperity.

Plush goods, book, albums, Xmas cards, tops etc., now fullv and conspiciously dis played and everything marked in plain figures. The body of a mai who died in Omaha was sent to Akron, Ohio, for bur ial. On the case enc losing the coffin was t icked an itemized bill for $110, -which was to be collected before the body was delivered t. the friends of the deceased man. The bill called for the collection of $60 for the undertaker, $20 for hos pital care, 10 for the physican's fee, $6 for carriages, and $2 for an Omaha priest's saying mass for the repose of the dead man's soul. If you fail to go to the opera house to-night you will miss one of the finest and best dramatic entertainments ever witnessed on a Plattsmouth stage. Miss Minnie Maddern with her excellent com pany presents her new play "In Spite of All" of which the public and the press speak in the highest terms. Go and hear them to-night, as you will not get a chance to hear Miss Maddern again for the next three years, and perhaps never, as she will return from Europe a very distinguished actress and may never visit Plattsmouth again, Revenge is sweet, no raalter how you get it'. Last night a man was"cr.)ss ing Main street, wl.o was apparent y under the influence of liquor, and a mule delivery team came flying along and before he could get away one of the mules -struck him, almost knocking him down, and when he iccovered himself the team was gone and he looked after it half angr and bewildered, and then con tinued his way. Justin his path in front jof a chop house lay an oyster brand j&iijn. Tiie man walked up to it, looked .-at t suspiciously and then kicked his coetifcrough it, breaking it to pieces.

A Ft M I N DA SH ELLEN BERCER. of Again Answering tho Charge Murder In the First Degree. From Lincoln Journal. Yesterday, the Hon. S. M. Chapman presiding, the long continued charge against Arminda, or Miranda, Shellen berger came up for a second trial in Lan caster. It took all the morning to obtain a jury, and when that was accomplished the afternoon and evening were spent without much result. Mr. J. B. Strode opened the case for the state, and Mr. T, B. Stevenson of Nebraska City for th defendant. In the subsequent proceed ings County Attorney Stearns appeared for the state, and Mr. T. B. Stevensoi and Mr. G. M. Lambertson for the de fendant. There was a large attendance in the court room, among them many ladies, and the proceedings, so far as they have gone, were marked with great solemnity. Only three witnesses had been examined when it became necessary to wait for the Missouri Pacific train from Nebraska City and that train brou crht several witnesses. Only two were examined in the evening, Drs. Larsh and Whitten of Nebraska City, who dc scribed the wounds on the throat of the deceased girl. The prosecuting attorney then slated that there were several vvit nesses who had not obeyed the subpoenas served upon them, and asked for attach ments, which were granted. Au officer armed with this authority, was orderod to rrwppd to Nebraska Citv bv the niirht train and have the witnesses in atten dance in the mornincr. The court then had perforce to adjourn and the cas was continued until this morning. Dr. O'Leary to-night delivers th tenth of a series of lectures at Rockwooi hall. II U lectures are valuable and in structive and are intended to elevat one's manner of living and instruct him in the way of health, comfort and happi n;ss. Every lecture has been largel attended and the interest manifested in his lectures increases with every discourse, To-night Dr. O'Leary will spend his time in explaining and advising on "marriage, courtship and love" which is a very im portant and interesting topic for all and the hall will undoubtedly be crowded. This is probably Dr. O'Leary's last public lecture here and it will pay to hear him. Four small boys, of Council Bluffs, who yet wear knee pants, started out on day last week to kill Indians. They got seven miles from home and were brought back by a policeman. The dealer win sold them their weapons is now undei $800 bonds and will be tried for selling firearms to minors.

Wo find only a few inoro cases of scarlitina and diphtheria this week. We sec the Street Car Company has a standing notice warning parents to keep their children off the cars. This is in a line with what we have mentioned before. Parents do you know your boy comes immediately home from school, or does he play on the streets till after dark? The resolution of the Board of Health, published in Wednesday's Herald, is certainly stringent enough to prevent a return of last spring's experience. Should not persons from affected fam ilies be also rcs'rained from going to theaters, lectures and other public places where there is a liability te spread the disease? Ventilation can not be too closely looked after by our teachers. Give the children pleauty of fresh air. Better to buy fuel than to have unhealthy chil dren. Place a lighted candle in a wide mouthed bottle, then cork the bottle and see how quickly the flame is extinguished. The fire of life as quickly goes out if the supply oj air be cut off. At the teachers' meeting Friday the superintendent spoke of the tendency of persons to fall into erroneous methods of talking, such as using done for did, come for came, hadn't ought to for ought not to. He also spoke at some length of the importance of the three R's "readin. ritin and rithmetic. " While other branch es should be taught, these ore the ones which furnish the most practical benefit of all our school studies, hence, they take a prominent place in the curriculum of the Plattsruouth schools.

Gatl" Talks Awhile with the Chinese Ofllclul Our li4-l:tloim with China. I saw the Chinese parade in houor of their Joss and his counterpart. Iho latter was called Kwan, I understmxl tun draou, or devil. In order to propitiate him, who i: also eternal, and was Ix-'fore the world, even by our version of him, they pave that old pepper caster of lift", the devil, a parade, us II to say: "Kwan, you are a vain old dog matist uiul jealous fellow, and we'll e'en ask you to dinner and smooth your pin feathers down, and then we'll eo and dedicate Joss1 temple, and you won't afliict us!" I sat during the purado of the great dragon, a whole block long, carried by w rshiMis, and preceded by gorgeous tanners of hues no American procession can mateh, and at the Chinese onsulate, kept by Col. 15oe, an American, there were all manner of distin guished people, anions them the Chinese con sul; and I was told that in the recent Ton- quin war the Chinese whipied the French in every engagement of musketry, using Amer ican made rifl to do it. The Yale col lege educated secretary of the Chinese consul general brought the latter in and introduced me, and wo had a dignified talk by interpreter, eating the while the cheap and wonderful fruit of this country grajjes Spain cannot match, pears luscious as cantelojies, ami three for a nickel, apples equal to that one which tempted Eve, the devil and man in one. Here is the futuro Eurojio of the western race tropics and temperate zone blended, the climate giving the highest vitality to the mind, the society tolerant. Talking to Col. Bee at the Chinese consulate ho controls we were waiting for the great procession of the Celestial ixjpula- tion to pass by and lay the evil joss he said, "There are onlv 17.000 Chinese in the county of San Francisco, only 00,000 on all the Pacific coast, only 72,000 m the Union. About 30,000 more have returned to China than have come out since the law was utssed refusing them." "Did the Chinese government approve of the law rejecting anv further emigration?" "Yes. They do not desire their jieoplts to emigrate. They even refused to avail them selves of the jK)wer eonccded to their govern ment to select the jiarties fit to come to America merchants, etc. Hence no more merchants come, and those left here com plain of the loss of trade consequent upon the final departure of so many of their Chi nese customers." "Do we still trade much with China?" "Yes; we sent them -175,000 barrels of flour this year. We sent them also 100,000 of stamping and mining machinery since the very recent opening of their mines to de velopment. They long refused to permit their resources to bo tested. Now they arc beginning to tap the surplus. Their country contains copier, iron, cold and silver from Pekin to Tonquin." "Why have the Americans received tho concession to mine, etc., in China aoove the European nations'" "Because of the injustice of France and England and tho other powers to Egypt, Japan and India first getting in to do works and trade, and then making vast demands for indemnity, and finally claiming territo rial compensation. I.i Ilmig Chang, 'the Bismarck of China.' as Grant called Ixim said that the British and French never should receive pretexts of that ki;ul to attack China. 'America,' said lie, 'is our friend above the other powers.' So the Russian, represent nrr tho Philadelphia capitalists, got tho eonccs sion. It is immense involving the right to lay railroads, telegraphs and telephones, open rivers and introduce machinery.'' George Alfred Towusend in Boston Globe. iown Jewelery - Store. Hay For Sale.

Stull. 42 m 1 The Masio of "Words. le was a nanusomo man, as men go a giant in frame and straight as an Indian, but slightly disfigured by a prominent fere- ground that suggested high living. His hat was of the shiniest silk, his clothing fashion able and elegant, and his umbrella gold han dled, while a blazing brilliant nestled in tho ' knot of his four-in-hand tie. With a firm tread and haughty carriage ho issued from the Twenty-fourth street entrance to tho Hoffman house tho other evening and halted for a moment on the granite steps. As he was about to move away a small withered hand and bony wrist were thrust before him in a mute appeal for assistance. The hand be longed to a woman, or rather the WTeck of what had once been a woman. She was bent and aged, haggard and thin, and her nakedness was barely hidden beneath her tattered garments. Her gray, straggling hair hung loosely about her scrawny neck, for she had not even a ragged hat. The bones of her face showed plainfully through the tightly drawn skin, and her eyes, faded and lusterless, were sunken deeply in their sock ets. The picture of misery touched not tho heart or sympathies of the man of wealth. Raising his umbrella with a threatening ges ture, he exclaimed: "Be off, beggar; I've nothing for you. You ought to be at work earning an honest living instead of hanging around here importuning everybody you meet for money. Be off, or Vll turn you over to an ofllcer," These words were magical In their effect. The poor, shattered form of tho suppliant woman straightened up to its full height, the lusterless eyes gleamed brightly once more with the light of an unutterable scorn, but the thin lips quivered with the pain that the cruel words had inflicted. There was no need for more. Her very attitude, the expression upon her face, should have been rebuko enough, but she finally burst forth into burn ing, passionate speech, and this is what she said: "Git out, ycz dirthy blaygard. ither word til mo an' Oi"U kick the red nose off yez face !"

I humbly trust that I presided with grace and dignity over that club, until such time as circumstances made it expedient for me to retire from the mad career of public service. In making the speech of farewell on that sad day, which severed my connection with my club, i pro ceeded smoothly and delightfully until some allusion started the teaiv, and the certainty that I had no handkerchief confronted me. I was just about to wipe my tears with the morocco case I held in my hand when one of tho ladies, familiar with tho strange fatality which had blighted my emotional life, passed me up a woolen shawl. No word was spoken, but my one opportunity to mako an eloquent sococb. was fatally nipped, and all for want of a handkerchief again, for sentiment die3 in a general laugh as flowers wither i:i a frost.
