The action sf Sherman & Cutright
in the county court against the Commer
cial bank of Weeping Water as garnishee
of James M. Cole, tried a few days ago,
resulted in a decision for judgment for
the defendant, costs taxed to plaintiff.
April 3, being election day, the
ladies connected with the Catholic fair
have been requested to giyo a dinner in
Fitzgerald's hall, between 12 and 2 on
that day.' The cost will be 3 cents. As
the proceeds are to be devoted to a char
itable object the ladies effortsbhould be
appreciated.
It don't soem tojnako any difference
whether a lady is employed in a work
shop or an office, a refining influence is
always evident among the employes or
the surroundings. This is especially no
ticeable in the transformation of what
was once a dirty, musty, official apart
ment of this city, that was stored full of
mouldy-looking ledgers, into a clean at
tractive place for transacting business.
Mr. W. L. Tucker called in our office
today and showed us his book ia whi'h
he has kept the condition of the weather
for a number of years back, and on the
28th of March for the past four years it
has not varied more than three degrees,
and one year ago, yesterday, there fell
four inches of snow, and the next day
five-eighths of an inch of snow fell. The
thermometer registers just the same today
as it did on the same date last year.
The case of J. M. Schnellbacher vs.
Jones & Fitzgerald, tried in county court
before a jury yesterday, resulted in a
verdict of 40 for the plaintiff. The
amount sued for was $173. The case
was contested with earnestness and skill
and especially inasmuch as the defend
ants were compelled to nuke their de
fense from the plaintiff's books in other
words go into the enemy's camp for am
munition to fight him Tirith.
"Mr. Voss the architect is in the city
with instructions from Mr. Fitzgerald to
meet him here and give him figures on n
structure adjoining the opera house."
Journal. Mr. Voss may have said so,
but it's not so. Mr. Fitzgerald telegraph
ed from Lincoln for M. Voss to meet him
at Plattsmouth and as Mr. Fitzgerald did
not get any reply to his telegram he did
not come. Mr. Voss did, but it was not
in connection with any "structure adjoin
ing the opera house." We will inform
our readers concerning Mr. Voss's mys
terious visits in doe time.
Last Sunday will be long remember
ed by two young ladies of this city. One
of them is a school teacher and was guid
ing the gentle footsteps of the other
maiden across the velvety lawn, (it was
plush last Sunday) in the direction of the
Stull scheolbouse about three miles north
of town.- After they Lad transacted their
business and counted the surrounding ob
jects, they undertook to survey the coun
try in the direction of Oreapoli?. Tbey
arrived at that classic region safely by
four o'clock, waited till seven for the
train, and then returned to Plattsmouth.
Stanley's trials and tribulations in ford
ing streams on the "Dark Continent" was
nothing id comparison to what these
ladies had to undergo., The water was
icy cold, and in some places very deep,
.but there was no help for it, "we must
get home before dark." fAre there any
men around?" "No!" "Well, Jump."
Oh! immortal shades of Mary Walker

Inclosed you will find the stenographer's
report of the proceedings of the Brother
hood of Side-track and Branch-line Rail
ways, transacted at a meeting held Wed
nesday afternoon and evening, March 21,
at their office in the Bodkin block, which
I sead you by order of the Association,
and request that you find room for their

AFTUIIXOON SESSION.
"The gieivance committees of the varT
ious lodges of B. of S. T. fc B. L. K. It.
the "Q." system met at their head quar
ters Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, March
21, for the purpose of considering and
taking steps in regard to the partialities
now in existenpeon that road, between
the main line and branch and side-tracks;
the meeting being in response to a call
from Pres. Rustyrail. There were 105 of
the membsrs of the association present.
The afternoon, until 5:30, was taken up
in speeches, laying cut the complaints
and questions to be acted upon; speeches
were made by Messrs. Frog, Creston;
Stoneballost, Plattsmouth; Spike, Bur
lington, and F. P. Tie, of Minneapolis.
At 5:30 the meeting adjourned to meet
at 7 o'clock.
KVKXIKG SESSION.
"Promptly at 7 o'clock p. in., Pres.
Rustyrail called the convention to order,
and a committee ef eight was appointed
to draw up resolutions. The committee
consisted of Messrs. J. T. Roadbed, llast
tings; F. R. Steelrail, Quiacy; M. P.
Smokestack, Kansas City; F. 8. Coupling-
pin, Chari on; A. B. Frog, Creston; J. D
Stoneballast. Plattsmouth; O. II. Cow
catcher, Denver, and L. Sidetrack, Chi
cago. 4.t9o clock tue committee pre
sented the following resolutions, which
were adopted without alteration :
Whereas, It is a greivous fact that
there is a wide discrimination on the
great "Q" system between the side tracks
and branch roads and the main lines, and
we, the factors of such side-tracks and
branch roads, failing to see a just cause
of such discrimination, do hereby
Resolve, That we shall endeavor to in
duce an abandonment of this discrimin
ation and have one road brought ia the
same appreciation as another; aud
Whereas, The discrimination consists
largely in the abandonment of the side
tracks and branch roads, aud the using
of a better rail on the main road, and the
permitting of empty and freighted cars
to remain upon us,so that our bright faces
which are the rails are obliterated
by rust for want of use, and the heavy
cars upon us shade us from a view of
the sunlit skies by day, and the star-
spangled firmament by night, and which
vision supplies a joy unspeakable, be it
Resolved, That we demand that the
volume of traffic on side tracks and
t 1 ... a
Diane a roaas do increased until it be
equal to that of the main line in all res
pects, and
Whereas, The company cannot trans
act business without our aid, we, the
side tracks and branch roads do
Resolve, That if a chance is not
brought about by April 1st, 1888, which
shall coincide with onr wishes, that at
noon of the aforesaid day we shall lock
eur switches and refuse to further trans
net company business, at least till our de
mands are satisfied.
Whereas, Beins in sympathy with
our brethren, the factors f the main line,
who are compelled under the present
plan to do much more than by right be
falls them in the transportation of freight,
and
Whereas, Much of the freight is un
limited as to time, be it
Resolved, That we invite the factors
of the main line to cooperate with us in
oureffoit to obtain our just portion of
traffic; and that in place of standing un
limited freight upon side tracks, it shall
be run out over branch lines and returned
for the purpose of keeping things in mo
tion and insuring the lightness of branch
railroads.
On motion of Mr. Stoneballast, Presi
dent Rustyrail and Mr. Frog were auth
orized to confer with the "Q" authorities
and attempt to bring about a change
with the proposed force. The meeting
then adjourned.
S. T. Cattleguard, Stenographer.
Treat All Alike-
At the lost meeting ef the city council
an ordinance was passed in regard to the
volunteer fire department of this city.
It was ordered that the chief be paid
$100 per annum, tae assistant chief $25
per annum and the secretary $50 per
annum. This is causing a great deal of
dissatisfaction among the rank and. file
of the department, and they say let
the department be a paid department or
a volunteer department. They don't
want any distinctions to be made only in
the case of the secretary, who they say
should get paid. A petition to that ef
fect will be banded to the city council
next week, and if they don't approve of
it the wLole of the hose companies and
the book and ladder company will hand
ia their resignations.

SENTIMENTAL GUSH.
"The erubescent excrescence on your
olfactory organ is yet in its adolescence,"
said a physician to a young man with an
abnormal development of his noise. The
doctor merely meant that the boil on the
youth's nose was not yet ripe.
It wae a Boston girl who asked: "Why
is it that two souls, mated in the impera
tive mystery of their nativity, float by
each other ou the oceau currents of exist
ence without being instinctively drawn
together, blended and beautified in the
assimilation alembic of eternal love?"
"The concatenation of circumstances,"
said Evarts, "has not cnvolved out of
my pre-eminent position in the adminis
tration any elements except such as were
disscutancous to a successful aspiration
after a more elevated situation; all my
strivings for a boom have resulted in a
boomerang."
"Most beautiful, accomplished, and
charming madame, would your ladyship,
by an unmerited condescension, transmit
your most obsequious, devoted, and very
humble servant that pair of Pyrepenten
tigists, that he may cxupenite the exu
cences of this nocturnal cylindric lumi
nary, so that its refulgent brightness aim
resplendent brilliancv mav dazzle the
yision of our occular optics more potent
ly." lie simply wanted the lndy to hand
him a pair of snuffers across the table.
An exquisite once drove up to the
door of a couut.-y tavern, and address
ed a small boy who came to the door, as
follows: "Adoloscence, extricate my
weary quadruped fr6m the vehicle, stab
ulate him, tender him a sufficient quanti
ty of nutritious ailment, and after a reas
onable length of time has elapsed, and he
has ceased transpiring, manipulating his
coat meinwhue with a whisp of hay, nl
low him to quench his thirst with a mod
icum of aqua pura. When the aurora
of morn shall have illumed the Eastern
horizen. and I am about to resume my
pereginations, I will amply recompense
thee for thy hospitality." The boy ran
to the door, and brawled out, "Dad, dud.
come out here; there's a Dutchman wants
to see you."

The following has reference to the dis
trict court now in session at Council
Bluffs:
"During the afternoon session the case
of Carruth vs. the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad was on trial. This is
a damage casein which the plaintiff asks
$20,000 from the road on account of the
death of Frank Carruth. Mr. Carruth
was a conductor on the road in 1884, and
was running a passenger train int Pa
cific Junction. His train was backing
and a collision was about to take place.
He rushed to the rear platform and pull
ed the bell rope to signal the engineer to
stop the train. The rope broke aad he
fell from the platform and was run over
and killed." Omaha Herald.
Poor Frank! Our belief in spiritulism
becomes more cenSrraed. Instead of
Frank Carruth it should have read
"George Foster," Frank's brother-in-law,
who was killed while a conductor some
years ago on a passenger train running
between Omaha aud Pacific Junction.
Mrs. Foster, the plaintiff, is now in
Council Bluffs attending the trial.

AND
ECONOMICAL
Tin's waist is designed to meet the requirements oi ladies who
cannot, comfortably, wear a still and rigid curaet, while it can be worn
with as inn cli comfort as an ordinary dres waist. It will give the
fame elegance of contour as the heaviest boned corset in the market,
while the stays are so arranged that they will give support to the back
and tpinc and in nowise interfere with the freedom and comfort
ot the wearer. The weight of the clothing is transferred from the
hips to the shoulders by means of the bhoulder-straps, which are ad
justable to suit any form or length of waist.
"We have these waists in "White, Grey and Gold and the price to
introduce them will be $1.00. Sizes 18 to 28.
