The time is steadily approaching,
when to be ignorant of music will be as
strange and anoniolout a thing in thi
laud, as to be ignorant of reading and
writing. Do not understand us to say
that we think music to be of equal ini
portance with the common branches, but
music will gain that position in school
cirriculums, that the pupils will learn it
and be in the science equal with the other
studies. This advancement is working
through our public schools, where singing
and reading music at sight go hand in
hand with the alphabet and the multipli
cation table. This state of affairs is of
untold advantage to the great army of
teachers of instrumental music all over
the laud, because it all reacts to their di
rect btnefit. When the eye and voice are
trained the fingers fall easily into the
ranks. Any teacher of beginners on the
piano appreciates the difference in pupils
who att.nd school where music is taught,
and those who go to school somewhere
else. The Presto. ,
A. M. v oodruff, a farmer living
near Superior, Neb., has invented a little
scheme of his own, to be used on cars
and locomotives. The invention is a pair
of shoes or runners which are attached to
the cars between tha wheels in such a
manner that when the wheels are in poii
tion on the track the shoes are carried
slightly raised above it. But in case cith
er carriage is thrown from the track, just
as soon 83 the wheels drop down, the shoe
or runner is brought in contact with the
rail and as it is provided with a flange, it
keeps thenar from running off sideways.
So long as one rail remains in position,it
is next to impossible for the car to leave
the track more than four inches. Mr.
Woodruff, being a practical engineer, is
fully acquainted with all the weak points
in modern railroading, and is trying to
overcome one of them that has already
come near costing him his life. Tho M.
P. railroad company is going to make a
thorough test of the practicability of the
new invention on a forty-ton locomotive
as soon as one can be built on the new
plan. Omaha Republican. i

The following is an interesting address
by President It. B. Windham:
Gentlemen of the Hoard of Trade :-
In entering upon the discharge of my du
ties as your presiding officer,! embrace the
occasion of directing your attention to a
few facts which I hope will materially
increase our interest in the work of the
board and the welfare of tho city, thus
assuring to us greater individual property
This body was organized to promote
the commercial interests of Pl&ttsiuouth.
through systematic co-operation of its
members and aggressive action. It can
not be gainsaid but that much good has
already come tQ the city tlirouguthe
board's direct effort and inriuence, as
well as indirectly through its individual
members. The fact alone that Platts
mouth has a well organized board of
trade ready at any moment to back up
and help en any legitimate enterprise
which bodes the city good, is a power of
strength in itself; but there are physical
examples of the good effects of the board's
work. In lSbl with a population of
about 4,000, our city was without a hotel
commensurate with its need; this board
of trade organized a movement to raise
money as a donation to parties willing to
construct a suitable building. Upwards
of $2,000 were subscribed and turped
over to the enterprising gentleman broth
er who within a short time thereafter
erected the Perkins house, an $13,000,
three-story structure which stands today
a monument to the board's encouraging
influence.
The Plattsmouth Canning factory with
a paid-up capital of $30,000, employing
125 hands during the busy season and
turning CFCr about $100,000, in the tran
saction of a years business, was a creature
of this board, brought about by its in
fluence and sustained by its individual
members.
Other important interssts of the city
have been originated by individual mem
bers of the board and sustained and en
couraged by its influence.
Innumerable meetings of the board
have been held with the end in view of
securing greater railroad facilities for
Pi .ttsmouth; committees have been ap
pointed, much time spent and hard work
done to bring about the desired results.
Thus the necessity of new roads has been
kept in the minds of the people, aud it is
not extravagant to assert that the efforts
of the board together with other instru
mentalities of the city will yet bear fruit,
:ind as we hope in the near future. It is
our business to prepare the way for in
dustrial enterprises. "ggreesive move
ment'' should be the watch-word of the
hour. If added to the present prosperous
growth of the city we can haye the or
ganized efforts of all the business men,
Plattsmouth will be given an impetus
that will place her in the lead for com
mercial importance.
We must have greater railroad facil
ities; fifteen miles to the south would
connect us with the great Missouri Pacific
railway, with arteries reaching intoeycry
important commercial center of the South.
Our merchants would at once have the
advantages of St. Louis, Kansas City and
other markets, over a complete line of
road; our farmers and graiumen the ad
vantages of the same markets, as well as
that of New Orleans; our city would al
so have direct communication with the
extensive coal fields of Missouri and Kan
sas, as well as the great rock regions of
the southwest; indeed the commercial ad
vantages to be gained by securing a new
line of road are too numerous to admit
of mention at this time. Another line of
road into Plattsmouth means the location
of manufacturing industries; the advent
of a third line would mean jobbing
houses, and here I would suggest that
it weuld be greatly to the interest of
Plattsmouth to seek connections with the
southwest through a diogonal road into
Kansas and Texas. We cannot expect to
secure new roads and remain inactive or
without rendering substantial aid. Has
tings, Nebraska City, Beatrice and many
other towns in the State, with no better
advantages than Plattsmouth, have sow
the advantages of two or more roads, se
cured through vigilence and activity.
Our city is in god financial condition to
render aid to worthy enterprises, and for
information the few who always object to
rendering aid on the ground that it in
creases the burden of taxation, I will
state that the city taxes for 1837 were only i
33 mills, while tho city taxes for 18S4,
prior to our incurring the expense of gas
and waterworks, were 31 mills, being;
within 1 mills of the 1887 tax; but in
1834 we were not paying on our high
school indebtedness, it having since been
declared a legal liability against the city.
We were taxed in 1887 4 mills for this
purpose, which subtracted from 33 mills
shows the tsxatlon is now lighter than in
1884. notwithstanding our new lia
bilities. It is sometimes a blessing
to a city to incur indebtedness
when the effect is to build uj. The
water works and gas works have brought
taxable property into your town: it re
quires labor to extend the mains, hence,
the population is increased and the mer
chants of the town sell more goods, and
more money is placed in circulation.
These improvements cause the city to
progress, with the progression large num
bers of mechanics are given employment,
they must hare homes to live in, clothes
to wear, food to cat. Five years ago our
city had upwards of 4,000 inhabitants, it
has now near 9,000, with the prospect for
1888 brighter than for any previous year.
Under this showing it is indeed a faith
less man that does not feel encouraged.
Unfortunately, on account of going to
press earlier thaj usual, we have been
only able to favor our readers with about
one-half of Mr. Windham's rery able
speech which was full of remarks con
cerning a wagon bridge over the Miu
souri, inducements to manufacturers to
locate in Plattsmouth, want of flour mills,
the foolishness of going to Omaha to
trade, the want of more liberal patron
age by the merchants of our city of the
job and advertising departments of Platts
mouth newspapers, the evils of speaking
in a slighting manner of our home indus
tries, and ended his highly appreciated
address with numerous sensible sugges
tions for the building up and future pros
perity of our city,
A communication was read by Secre
tary Hermann from Churchill Parker,
wholesale implement dealer at Omaha, in
regard to establishing a boot and shoe
factory at this place, saying he had been
corresponding with parties in the east
who were expecting to start an enterprise
of that character, that would employ
from 125 to 150 men. It was moved and
seconded that the Secretary be in
structed to correspond with Mr. Parker
and ascertain more definitely the plans,
Mr. It. Petersen brought in a petition
to the Boards asking that they might
look into the matter of establishing a
new road to the ferry, as parties crossing
miss Plattsmouth, and thus our mer
chants lose trade. After a discussion of
several minutes1 deration, a committee of
three was appointed to look into the mat
ter, consisting of Messrs. Henry Boeck,
J. V. Weckbach and W. S. Wise.
The eoramunication from the fire com
pany was brought before the meeting.but
there being no one present representing

Postmaster Wise made a strong speech
in behalf of Plattsmouth securing an ap
propriation from congress for a new post
office building.
It was moved and seconded that a
committee be appointed to draft appro
priate resolutions to be forwarded to sen
ators at Washington. The committee
consists of the following gentlemen: Wm.
Neville, Fred Hermann, J. S. Wise and
R. B. Windham.
The Secretary moved that the address
