Joseph Mills of Council Bluffs Creates Court News. The readers of Tiih Herald will re member that about two months ago a colored man giving his title as Rev. Jos eph Mills, of Council Bluffs, came here and made au effort to establish a colored church by gathering subscriptions. Just what came of his effort we do not know. but some of his supporters objected to the positive way in which he called for their subscriptions. Since that time he has not been in Plattsmouth, but comes to note through the Council Bluffs depart ment of the lite, as follows: Between the world, the llesh and the devil the "Rev. Joseph Mills" is having a hard time ot it. His last figuring be fore the public is in connection with the colored Methodist church of this city, where he has for some months past olli ciated as preacher, spiritual advisor, man- of-all-work in the completion of the new church, etcetera. For so. ne time past that organization has been endeavoring, by ih: collection of money fiom the liberal of the city, to raise enough to clear the indebtedness incurred in building. Mem bers of the church have acted as solicit ors and collectors, so that to protect the public from imposition a notice was pub lished to the effect that the preacher was the only one authorized to collect funds for this object. A second chapter, the outgrowth of the first, was developed Monday. On that day a certain justice of the peace was waited upon by the colored preacher who laid before that functionary his sorrows and complaints. He complained that oue Charles McDonald, an official in the church, had the key to that structure and refused to tjive it up, and wished the jus tiee to use his influence "with the obdur ate sheep. To avoid trouble in the church the justice accompanied him to find McDonald ad get the kev. Instead of going direct t McDonald's house, Mills led the way down Scott street to Mill street, where, without ceremony he entered a lowly house, the dwelling of one of his flock. Here they found a wo man, apparently alone. She was tacking down carpet, but arose from the floor as her visitors entered. Mills opened the conversation with : "I done brot an officer wid me. Now ye better gib up dat money." The woman hastily went down in her pocket and brought out $2.88. which she passed over to the preacher with the pro testation: "Dats all I got, deed it ts. "Without more ado the preacher pock eted the cash and led the way to the house of McDonald. He was not at home, when the key was demanded of his wife she refused to surrender it to the parson Yesterday another justice was waited on by the woman who gave up the $2.88 and an attornev was consulted as to the best means to briufi the matter to a head. The probability is that the pseudo divine will be called into court to answer to the charge of obtaining money by intim idation, or some other charge equally destructive of the confidence usually re posed in men of that cloth.

Executive Clemency Extended to Henry A. Schlenker. Lincoln Journal. Henry A. Sclenker, through the par doning power of Goy. Thayer, is again a free man. He was sentenced some years ago to a term of fifteen years for the kill ing of a young woman iu this city, ami had twenty-two months more to serve, having by his exemplary conduct secured the full benefit of the good time act. Schlenker was tried in the district court of1879 on the charge of murder in the first degree, and convicted and sen tenced to be hanged. Upon an order from the supreme court, however, the ease was sent back for a new trial. Schlenker at this time plead guilty to murder in the second degree aud was sentenced ts above stated. Gov. Thayer before exercising his au thority in the matter gave the case a most thorough examination on its merits, and took into consideration the character of the prisoner both before the time of the commission of the act for which he was incarcerated, and since he has been an inmate of the state penitentiary. He was also urged to exercise executive clemency by a large numcr of prominent citizens, all of whom were acquainted with the circumstances, and the character of the man, and among whom was the judge who sat on the bench and the pros ecuting attorney who conducted the trial.

They are a fine theatrical appearing company and have played in all the leading cities of the country, drawing immense houses aud presenting that thrilling play very satis factorily. Gen. C.

Some weeks ago wo published a short ap peal suggesting that books should be con tributed to the insane asylums of the coun try, in order to form libraries for the unfor tunate inmates. Already one result of the suggestion has been heard from as off as Texas. The North Texas asylum at Terrel is now forming a library, and has sent our edi torial with comments to the local journal, which published it as an appeal to the public of Texas for this most deserving charity. The asylum has now nearly 300 books as a nucleus of a library, and receives regularly over 78 newspapers. Besides, these, hundreds of copies of periodicals have been donated to it. This we cite as an instance of what can and should be done in this direction. Almost every house has some books to spare, which are of no value to any one. Many would be glad to directly foster such work were their attention called to it. Unfortunately, every state can find plenty of field within its own borders for the exercise of this labor of love. We hope that the work now inaugurated may be continued, and that an insane asylum without books may soon be unknown in America. Scientific American. Set His Head Afire. In Quitman, Ga., a drunken negro resisted arrest. The policeman hit him on the head with a club, and in an instant the negro's wool was all ablaze. The policeman was frightened and took to his heels. After he had recovered from his fright sufficiently to stop running he resigned. The explanation of the blaze was found in the negro's practice of using his hair as a match safe. Chicago Herald. Her Celluloid Comb. A lady of Carmi, Ills., while combing her hair the other evening, accidently thrust the comb in a gas jet near the mirror. The comb was of celluloid and flashed into flame like powder, setting fire to her hair and giv ing her a narrow escape from serious injury. New York Evening World, Amelia B.

John Kinney, of the firm of Kinney & Itansomo, U lLs a littlo story about himself which may irtiiko a familiar vein iu some other niau'a exptiienco. "When I was a young chap," says he, "I got tho Piko's Peak fcvt'i- nloii with a lut nif.ro of tho men nm th; lovs c.f our town, . -in. 1 ns I wiw pretty hard to iii.!ii tr.- :tni!i:i.l ln.nn-, and iw some staid M friends f my f.ither'j wero K"ing t tho new guld country, it was concluded that 1 should yr with them. When wo were all ready to shut my trunk and hv k it my mother, who, bless her, was more than half afraid to havo mo -o out into that roa-h country, brought a han't some clasp liibhi out of her bedroom und laid it in my trunk on top of tho other things. "Now, Johnnie,' suid she, 'I want you to promise me that you will rend this Uiblo every day.' " 'Of courso I will, mother.' I sai.l; 'I will read it every chance I have.' " 'And, Johnnie,' said she 'I want j-ou to study well the sermon on tho mount. It will do you good. You will find it in St. Mat thew nnd St. Mark and St. Luke nnd .St. John, but tho best is in St. Matthew. You will read it often, won't you, Johnnie? "I promised everything, and I meant to keep my promi:o, too. lint somehow I never did. I never opened tho Uil.Ie; never even undid the clasp. Afor I had been at Pike's Peak some time, und spent nearly all tho money that my father had given to one of his old friends for mo, I started with what was loft to coino home. I joined n party that was coming home, but they left mo at the Missouri crossing und I hail a terrible time from that on. I ran out of money and then spent all I could borrow on such valua bles as I could pawn. I would have sold that iliblo a dozen times if I cou'.d havo found anybody to buy it. Well, after a heap of walking and all sorts of hardship I finally reacneu aomo. Alter tho kissing and tho talking was over my mother began unpack ing tho little handbag I had brought back in the place of tho trunk I took away. In tho bottom of it sho found the littlo clasp Bible. " Your Biblo looks as if ou hadn't used it much,' she said. 41 41 Yes,' saiil I, 'I took very eood caro of it.' 44 4J .4 ( 44 41 Did you read it, Jolumio?' sho asked. Of coui-so I did; read it every day.' " You lead tho Sermon on tho Mount then, did your she asked, with a kind of pe culiar expression in her eyes. , " 'Yes, very often.' "Then she opened the Bible to St. Matthew and there lay the $20 bill sho had put between tho leaves. There was a 10 bill, too, in eac h St. Mark, St. I,uko and St. John; s5J in all and I would have given every cent of it to havo been out of that room. " 'I told you St. Matthew had tho best ac count of the Sermon on the Mount,' was all my mother said about the matter." Chicago News. HOME KWS. T. IT.
