This is a question now puzzling a great many of our readers who are desirous of showing their appreciation to their rela tives and friends by sending them a valuable, yet not extravagant present. We have a gift for $6 and another for $1.50 either of which would be highly appreciated by the receiver, and before buying something that is only valuable to your friend as a keepsake we invite you to consider the idea of paying $(i for the Daily Herald sent from Christmas to Jan. 1, 18S9 to a rela'ive or friend whom you wish to please, or if your friend does not live in or near Platts moutli pay $1.50 for the Weekly Her ald sent them from Christmas till Jan. 1, '80, which will not only be interesting and appreciated but will advertise the city and help to induce those seeking n prosperous and lively city to locate here. The Daily and Weekly Herald for 1888 are the best Christmas gifts in the market and would be received with pleasure by any ' person interested in Plattsmouth'or her people. District court was to-day occupied in the case of Hobbs vs. Janeway & Co. E. G. Dovey & Son contemplate heating their entire building with steam. City Atty. Clark is making a good record in behalf of the city of Platts mouth. Friday a number of Omaha police men bring suit to obtain their over due salaries. The city council could not raise a quourn last cyening but they raised conips and took in "Eloped." Sunday night a young man in Lin coln named Chas. Morris, recently from Wapelo, la., committed suicide. County Judge Russell last evening issued a marriage license to Edward E. Howell and Miss Annie L. Gilbert. A young negro boy aged 8 years was up before the Omaha police judge yesterday charged with drunkenness. "Eloped" was played to a fair aud ience at the opera house last night. It proved a very satisfactory entertainment. The case of the boy from Weeping Water charged with selling a glandered horse was to-day coutinued till the ICth of January. The Christian church will j;ive a so ciable Friday evening at the rtsidencc of John Tntt, in South Park. A cordial in vitation is extended to all. The ball and literary entertainment to be given at the opera house Eext Mon day night by the Odd Fellows promises to be a very fine succes?. A case was filed to-day in the district court of A. C. Sodcr as 'guardian of of Maggie Twiiiger vs. Twiliger, to have a marriage set aside and made void. Another horrible fatal accident oc curred in Omaha yesterday on account of the fateful switch-frog. A new switchman .named James Holland at tempted to cross the track in front of an engine, but caught his foot in a frog and his right leg was crushed. From the shock and loss of blood the man soon died. . Tha C, L3. .Q vs Cass C3untyv In the case tried yesterday wherein the C. B. & Q. R. R. was plaintiff and Cass county was defendant, spoken of hereto fore in these columns, the testimony showed that the bridge was operated as a bridge and not os a part of the main line, that while the state law of Iowa and Nebraska makes the maximum charge of three ecu's per mile for passenger traffic yet more than 20 cents' per mile was charged for riding over the bridge, the testimony further showed that the bridge property for a part of the time incontro versy, was listed to the assessor by Mr, I). E. Thompson, Supt. At Mr. Hoi drege's request, Mr. Thompson personal ly signed the assessment roll; it was further shown that the R. R. Co. failed to appear before the board of equaliza tion and make any complaint of a double assessment at the June meeting of the board, as other tax payers are compelled to do. , It was further shown that the auditor of state had by letter (the letter being produced) shown that the state board for one of the years in controversy and the county had failed to assess the bridge; whereupon the county clerk list ed the bridge property as he was by law compelled to do. A great many other points on behalf of the county were proven and not controverted by the rail road company. The railroad company claiming that the bridge was a part of fie main lino and as such, was assessed by the state board. The case was given to the jury about nine o'clock last night with instructions from the court, that in the opinion of the bystanders, was about all that the rail road company could ask for; yet the jury were out all night and a majority refused to briug in a verdict under the testimony in favor of the railroad. The court this morning then called the jury in and charged them to bring in a verdict for the plaintiff which was done, thus taking the question of fact entirely out of the hands of the jury, a proceeding very much to be regretted by the taxpayers of this county. B. & M. Shops. The geniu3 and invention of man, his ingenuity in the arrangement of nintlilr..ir 1 . in nnl .ilit wia rt n1 tntf til ft regulating and controlling it, is a won der of wonders? Have you been at the shops when the whistle blew, and watched the men rush to their posts of duty, every man to his place, and with one turn of a crew, tap or thumb-screw, or the throwing on of a belt, or the joint ing of , coy wheels, all properly adjusted, each start off as regularly as clock work, with its seperate mission to perform. Hundreds and thousands of belts, coy wheels, pistions, yes, from the minutest instrument to the most powerful, all pro pelle d and regulated by an enormous engine of two hundred horse-power. Imagine two hundred horses, four abrest drawing with all their might, and you then have some idea of the magnitude of the engine. But a second thought. Let us again gaze arourd. and think who put all this machinery in order. It did not come by chance, by no means; but on the other hand it has been moulded and invented through the instrumentality of the mind of man; hard study and close application has brought this about. One cannot help being almost dumb-founded to behold the many wonders at the im mense machine shops. We find there are eight different departments. Under Mr. Grcuscl, the foreman of the machinests department, there are one hundred and thirty men, of usual tact and abil ty. Our time was so limited yesterday that we did not get but few notes. Contin ued to-morrow. The Next Ball. Next Monday night Dec. 19th, the I. O. O. F. give a ball and literary iuter- linment at the opera house. The pre parations have been going on for some time and are quite extensive. A large number of invitations have been sent out and the programs are beautiful. Tickets for the evening are selling rapidly and the attendance will no doubt be large, making the evening a pleasant one for all present. The literary exercise will open the evening, after which supper will be served on the stage. Following the sup per will be the dancing.

"Oh, no, Ipresums not," she haughtily repliod. "Indeed, miss, I am really at a los to know how I have offended you." "I suppose so," was th3 cold ami sneering reply, "but a fell.iw don't in sult me twice." "I must insist upon an explanation. What have I dope?" "Done? I'd ask! Here I've danced three sets with you and waltzed till I'm ready to drop, and you ain't bought me so much as a stick of gum, and all the other girls' fellows have escorted them over to that grocery across the street and bought 'em peppermint drops and sweet crackers and prunes and cider. Good night, sir; 1 will return to my gentlemen friends." Ex Balyeat's Fig Tonic- Balyeat's Fig Tonic Cures chronic in digestion. Balyeat's Fig Tonic is especially for weak and delicate women.
