One of Its Chief Attractions
Is Madame Rod a who performs in an
act representing a decapitated body.
This optical illusion was first introduced
by the. celebrated magician, Robert Hel
ler, in the city of Melbourne, Australia,
where he exhibited it as the body of a
lady who had been cut in two in a. rail
road accident, and the head and trunk
supposed to be animate four years after
wards, Mine. Roda is a most beautiful
woman and highly accomplished in
ledgrrdemain and magical illusions. She
arrived in the city Tuesday night, being
sc-nt specially from the Eden Musco of
Omaha. She has a long record in the
dramatic papers of this country and Eng
land, having been engaged when a girl
by Prof. Anderson, the "Wizard of the
North" in his celebrated somnambulistic
balancing trick, wherein he defies the
laws of gravitation.She was also engaged
iit the Egyptian Hall, London, Eng., in
the rcnountd "basket trick" or the "disap
pearing lady." After filling a successful
engagement with Maskelyne fc Cook in
St. J unes hall, in that city, she sailed for
America. In this country she Irtis met
with success in all her engagementu, her
beauty ami ability being freely com
mented upon by the press of metropolitan
cili-s. The only fault with tha present
place of entci tainmcnt is, that it don':
a 1 in i l of any show of talent, like the
.tage of a theatre in a large city where
there is every appliance for ths success

The strike Affirmative.
Citt Editor Hkkaxd, Siu: As one
of your reatlers and Daily subscribers,
1 tlcsire to say a word in regard to the
strike, the strikers, and the citizens of
Plattsmouth.
The strike is on in full force. The re-
bult is that from sixty to eighty of our
citizens, the engineers and firemen of the
B. & M., are out of employment, of course
of their own free will. Most of them
are members of the Brotherhood, some
are not. But(all the same they stand to
gether for what thy deem their just
rights. I hey are anil have been, the most
of them, citizens of our town for many
years. Many of them have bought and
others have built, nice heuses for them
selves, saved carefully from tlu ir washes
us employes of the B. . M. R. R. Co.
Today thoy are together as a band of
brothers, not demanding lit asking from
one of the greatest corporations in Amer
ica, lo give them what they deem, and
what other loads are now eloing fair
wages for their labor.
They have conducted themselves since
iliu "strike" (and I thing that is a hard
word to apply under the circumstances,)
as no other strikers have ever done in this
great republic of o;:rs, uuder thes- or
fcimilar circunislkiices. They have, in all
cases, uniformly acted in a manner be
coming to themselves as gentlemen and
good citizens, and their behayior could
well set an example for some -f the high
officials of the great monopoly, for
which they have for many year laboreu
so earnestly for. And today, Mr. Editor,
w hile many of our citizens, good, honest,
concervuti ve men, some of whom think
that there is a principal involved in this
mutter that leads them to believe that the
strikers arc not altogether right in their
d-. mauds. Still, I venture to say that if
the question was submitted to them,
whether our Jboy" who are in this strug--le,
or the great corporation handled in-
one man, should win, their voices would
be unanimous for the bread-winners of
Plattsmouth; at least these are my senti
ments.
Don't consign this to the waste basket
or I will write you another just like it.
Yours,
Conservative.
Negativo Pointed and Sonsifcia.
Editor Herald: 1 am pleased with the
stand vou have taken on the stiike of the
engineers and firemen upon the C. IJ. &
Q. railroad, and have concluded to give
my views upon strikes in general, and
this one in particular. I am and always
have been opposed to strikes; because it
is usually wrong and seldom results in
good to the mn that strike, even if they
obtain what they ask, which they seldom
do. I have kept myself pretty well
posted upon all the principal strikes that
have taken place in this coun ry and I
faii to call to miud one against a great
corporation that was successful, and
many of them being the cause ot
great loss and suffering to the strikers
and their families; and not only that but
in some instances in loss of life aud in
murder. Is there no other way of set
tling this wage question?
Atlmitting that corporations are
souless, nay, more, we believe they will
crush the face of the poor and cut down
their wages to the lowest notch in order
to make larger dividends for material
stock, we say, admit all this, is it light
for a fow men to block the wheels of
commerce over a large extent of our
country, and put back the progress of
a thousanet and more town and cities',
and blast the prospects and tlepnciate
the property of hundreds of thousands
of people who have no tliiect interest in
either the corporations or the sinkers.
If there was none but the railroad and
the strikers involved or injured, then wt
would say, let them fiiiht it, and let the
right prevail, whether it be the strong or
the weak. Another view, 1 here is em
ployed in this citv by the B. & M. som
four or five hundred men that tliev will
be compelled to lay off shortly if th
strike continues, for want of material to
keei) them at work. Many of these men
are poor and live almost freni hand to
mouth, and a month or six weeks with
out work wou'.fl bring them and their
i'amilv to the verge of starvation. Is it
right that they should suffer for tlu
grieyenecs of a few men. I an informed
lucre is not to exceed sixty engineers
and firemen, all told, who make their
home m tins city. iheir companions
will hold good all along the 1ms upon
which the strike is now on.
Is there no remedy? Are these periodi
cal strikes to continue to the detriment
of the whole country. We elenminee
trusts and other combinations to obtain
monev. What is a strike but a trust or
combination to compel corparations to
do certain things, the mam object of
which is money. Corporations have
some rights as well as their employees
under th law, and one of theo is to
manage their roads as they think best so
that they elo not interfere with that of the
people.. It seems to me there ought t
be brains enough among our lawmakers
to furnish a remedy for this state of af
fairs. Congressional investigation com
mittees amount to nothing.ns we have just
seen in the Read in" Investigati"n Com
mittee. Why not create an Interstate
Commission similar to the inter-state
railroad commission, with power to set
tle all elifficulties between employe and
employers, aud let those elecisions hn
final, which would bo much better for
all concerned.
But Hip best remedy for strikes and
for the whole country, .would be to shut
the floodgates of emmlgration, especially
of the hords of paupers, anarchists, and
others of the baser sort.
Statistics have shown thst the natural
increase of our present populatson will
in a decade give us as dense a population
per square mile, as that of Europe. We
claim to be an asylum for the elown-trod-elen
and oppressed of every nation, nnd
we have been, but we think it Is about
time to shut down the gates. Jrsns. .

SOUTH SIDE MAIN
Reasons for Fun-hasing l ots in South Park.
1. As a whole they are the Jiireet lying lots in the city.
2. They are ehaeJeeJ with beautiful foiest trees.
3. They are locattd between Chicago and Lincoln Avenue, the
two finest drives about the city.
4. They are only a ten-niit;nris walk from the bupiuees portion
of the town.
o. By reason of their location between the two main thorough
faies into the city, they are more j;ccessible than lots in other additions.
C. The only addition to the city reached by two established
avenues.
7. The only new addition to the city reached by water mains
and with a jn-ospect-of being -i;pi!itd in the ne-ar future with com
plete water privileges.
8. Kew sidewalks recently constructed to within a lew fet of
the addition and will shortly le extended.
U. Will certainly have street car privileges at no diftant date.
10. If you wish a fine view of the river, locate on a lot in South
Park.
11. If you wish a sightly and picturesque view of PJattemotJi, '
it can be had from a South Park lot. '
12. To persons in the railroad cmplcy, the eastern portion of
South Park is the most desirable residence locality in the city.
13. To persons desiring a residence on Chicago avenue the
western portion of South Park is available for that purpose. '
14. The 15. cfc M. railroad track runs near the etibt line of the
addition, furnishing good facilities fer manufacturing industries.
15. If you locate in South Park you will have good neighbors :

16. Over 12,000 worth of this desirable property has been dis
posed of within a short period and no part has been .sold to outside

spring building are much greater .
