AROUND TOWN.
Facts Found in a Day's Visit
Among the Business Men of
Pfattsmoth-
Again we are on deck, ready to form
new acquaintances along South Main St.,
where we interviewed many busy business
men and inspected numerous extensive
establishments. All the merchants are
fully abreast with the times, each one
gave us a Hearty welcome ana seemca
anxious to aid us in our missionary work.
For enterpeise, thoroughgoing business
men and neatly arranged stores, Platts-
mouth stands near the head of any city
in the west. We find by inquiry that a
a number of our ' merchants came here
with small" capital and by fair dealing
they have enlarged and increased their
facilities until their trade has grown to
immense proportions. This speaks well
for the merchants, as the prosperity
of the business men is the criterion by
which the outside world judges the
worth of a town.
Wc shall endeavor to give a complete
list of the merchants on the south side,
however, if wc omit any one from our
directory it is not intentional and we
shall make mention of them later on.
We first step into the store of Poisell
& Spencer who carry a complete stock
of groceries, Hour and provisions; next
was . I oseph Fetzer, dealer in boots and
shoes. J. C. Peterson Bro. keep the
palace meat market, then we find our
selves in the commodious clothing house
ot Elson. the One Price Clothier. We
were given a cordial welcome by Mr,
Elson and shown through his vast stock
of ready made clothing and gent's fur
nishing goods. J. V. Weckbach is a
business man of old standing and takes a
delight in treating his customers in the
best manner possible, a large line of
ladies' hosiery, yarm, dry goods of all
descriptions and in fact, everything that
"oes to make a first-class house is found
D
nn liis shelves and counters. We next
visited A. II. Weckbach dealer in gro
ceries, queensware, boots and shoes. Mr.
Weckbach had too much trade to talk
but invited us to return when ho was not
busy. Philip Krause has fruit, confec
tionary and cigars and at O'Rourk & Son's
merchant tailors, you can get a nobby
suit made neatlv to order. Egenberger
& Troup deal in groceries, flour and feed;
L. D. Bennett, staple and fancy groceries
an 1 fruits; J. Hatt & Co., meat market;
Gering & Co., drugs. Next west is the
exclusive boot and shoe establishment of
Boeck & Birdsal where bargains for all
may be found. W. P. Cook is barber
and hair dresser. By this time we are
absorbed looking at the pyramids of
gent's furnishing goods in the large
clothing house of. S. & C. Mayer. In 1880
Mr. Mayer started with a forty foot store
and by fair dealing his trade has con
stantly increased until he now has a store
building one hundred feet jn length
He attributse his success to the fact that
he treats all customers, alike and buy
flircft from the manufacturers thereby
giving his customers the benefit of the
profit. We then visited F. Dressier, mer
chant tailorjand Edd Morley, l a ber and
hairdresser. Next call wa3 on Frank
Carruth who has one of the most
extensive jewelry stores in the city. In
the same room vou will find E. II. Phil
lips who has a complete assortment of
boots and shoes. C. E. Wescott had the
misfortune to loose his entire stock
by fire in 1879, but like the noted Phoenix
he arose from the ashes and now has one
of the finest supplies of gent's furnishing
goods, hats, caps, boots aud shoes in th
city. Johnson Bros, hardware, tinware,
sewing machines etc., etc. Smith &
Black, dealers in drugs, are business men
in Plattsraouth of ten years standing.
Oliver & Ramge, meat market, located
in Plattsmouth fourteen years aao. Con

A DISEA8ED HORSE.
Sold In the City Yesterday-The
Seller In the Arms of the LaW.
Yesterday a youog fellow from Weep
ing Water named Doc La vis rame in the"
city with a sorrel pony which he offered
for sale. He offered the horse to Walter
Holmes who at first saw nothing wrong
with it and a bargain was made of a
trade of a watch and $5 for the pony.
Walter tied the animal to a post and fed
it, there not being an empty stall in the
stabl?. After a while he went to admire
it and discovered symptoms of distem
per and he immediately hunted up Sur
geon Mathews who pronounced the dis
ease glanders. Walter then set out to
find Lavis to have him kill the animal.
Lavis was found in Blake's saloon where
he was playing pool. He agreed to go
with Walter and take the hrse away
and kill it and started up Main street
with him, Walter stepped into Weidman's
in search of a companion of Lavis' and
when he came out Lavis was making for
Boeck's corner. Walter followed him
around the block and overtook him back
of Carruth's jewelry store where he
knocked him down. Marshal Malick
came up then and arrested Lavis and
took him to jail.
This morning Messrs. Jones, Mathews
and Holmes examined the horse and de
cided it had a teycre attack of the glan
ders. Sheriff Eikenbary then telegraphed
to State Veterinary Girth, of Lincoln, to
come down this evening, and if he pro
nounces the disease glanders the sheriff
will file information against Lavis for
selling gland ered horses.
Doc Lavis' story is that Liveryman
Wm, Dunn, of Weeping Water, owned
the horse. ,That the veterinary surgeon at
Weeping Water, Dr, Corrington, said the
disease was nothing serious and Mr,
Dunn gave him the horse and told him
to sell it for what he could get.
The fine for selling glaqdered horses
is not less than $200 and not more than
$400 and if that is what the disease is
it will go hard with some one. more than
likely.
The illustrated lecture given on the
evening of the 29th ult , at the M. E
church, by Mrs. Blair, proved a delight
to the children and was full of interest
and instruction to all, both old and
young. Mrs. Blair is the "right woman
in the right place." A Christian woman
with pleasant manners and speech, artis
tic skill and well chosen language, she
brings into her lecture fine illustrations
of the Good Shepherd's love and care for
the poor drunkard, and warnings for the
yonng to avoid the intoxicating cup and
the "weed." Princeton Republican.

A Bemarkable Case of Amnesia.
The many strange phenomena of amnesia
have been enriched by the experience of one
of the ablest living psychologists, Professor
nam. (Some months ago Professor Bain fell
from hia hone, and was unconscious for
about three hours afterwards. During (his
time his shoulder, which had been sprained
by the accident, was set without his knowl
edge. Upon regaining consciousness, it was
found that he had lost all remembrance of
what had occurred an hour before the acci
dent, as well as of the three hours following.
He was found on a different road from that
which he can remember having intended to
take, and so must have changed his mind.
VI tins be has lost all recollection; otherwise
there were no mental effects.
The editor of Mind, who tells the. story.
adds another case in which a gentleman, af
ter falling from a carriage, remained un
conscious for nearly four months. Upon n
awakening, not only was this interval a total
blank to him, but the events of the week pre-
ceding the accident were equally lost, Im
portant transactions which he had modo
during that week were forgotten. This sug
gests that there may be some relation be
tween the duration of unconsciousness after
the accident and the memory blank before.
At all events, the phenomena, mysterious as
they are, deserve to be recorded. The au
thenticity and careful analysis of the above
cases add to their value. Science,
