The good people of Plattsmouth are just now clamoring to know what has be come of the (200 subscribed by them Inst winter to the Shuttuck fund. It seems the money was turned over to Jie editors of the Jovmal, but what afterwards bo came of it deponent sayeih not, as it wns never received by the p.-eper ones. An explanation, it would seem, is now in or der. Greenwood Leader. The B. & M. band played 6ome choice selections last Saturday night while marching up and down Main street. They also serenaded the Brotherhood at their ball. This band is a credit to the state of Nebraska. Their drum-major, J. T. Morrissey, wears a splendid and very expensive uniform and has n method of twirling the staff quite novel. He formerly held a position of impor tance in the 72nd Gordon Highlanders in the British Army. Last Saturday afternoon the Brother hood, old and young, were sportive, and gay out at "Fitzgerald's Forly." Their amusements were bass ball and football. The object of these games is to occupy the minds of the young, impulsive mem bers and keep them away from the temp tations of the streets of the c'ty, when? they are met on every coiner by dirty scoundrels who try to get them under the influence of liquor, and then wo'in out secrets of the Brotherhood, or else try and wheedle them into a quarrel or any thing that would tend to br?ng d'sg.-ace on the order. W. II. Packard, formerly with th "Stuart Comedy Co." as advance agent, has been appointed general agent for Laschaller, Wertz Bross circus.. The show opens up at Lincoln April 23 Four weeks from that date they will give a performance in this city. M Packard leaves to join the company at Lincoln to morrow. "Pack" has formed a good many friends during his stay among us. who will no doubt visit the show on its arrival here on that account. Good-bye, "Sis!" Good good bye. The spectacular drama of 'IZozo, the Magic Queen," had its first produc tion at the Academy of Music last night.' The play is one which will please every class of theatre-foer. There is a bril liant and sparkling dialogue, conducted chiefly by Washington Kaowall, a typi cal American, which continually recalls the spectator from fairyland and reminds him by very practical remarks of mun dane affairs. Miss To ma Ilanlon as Rho dodendron, and Tootsie. Mr. George II. Adams, as " Washington Knowall," Mr. Charles Ren wick as "Captain Randall" of the' wrecked ship, and Mis Pauline Montegriffo a3 "Zozo the fairy queen, are the principal actors of a strong and well selected company. Baltimore Herald. A Dastardly Deed. Between Friday night and this morn ing, some scouudrel spawned on society from a chaotic vacuam of infamy, broke into the Mercer school-house west of town and tore to pieces all the school books and broke the school-slates and scattered the pieces all over the floor. An anatomy of negation capable of do ing such a mean, spiteful trick is like the society sneak. He would scrape a fleet ing sunbeam for fear it would reach the bedside of some sick child. Ho would steal the prattle from a baby's lips, would run a mile to seize his own shadow, and like the dog iu the manger, who fould'nt eat the hay himself and would'nt let the cow he would not breathe hard for fear ot waking his own oil Dpring and thereby being deprived of that nutriment he was too old to take He would steal bread and nutter from a child going to school, or take tho last coin from the tin cup of a blind beggar, and finish one chapter in his infamous career by stealing the coins from the eye lids of his dead mother. "O, the) Memories of the Past." Appomattox-Anderson anniversary this eveniug, Ap-il 'J, at Rockwood ball, to celebrate tho surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox.

Livingston and others will rnak addresses. The glee club will assist. Admission free. Refreshments will be served after the entertainment Every body is invited. Who will now tell the fortunes of the gushing, romantic, stage-struck novel-reading maiden, the idiotic mole cule, stick-of-celery of the male gender, the hopeful old maid, the grass widow, and the sprightly female violin, who sings mezzo-so-squeaky, "I'm ninety-five I'm ninety-five, and to keep single I'l contrive." Our old friends the gypsies are leaving us today, weather permitting. During their rcs:dence for the past six months in this city they have ea'-ned themselves a good name fo square-dealing and manliness and as law abiding: people. We concur in the wish cs of many of our best people when w wish them a hearty farewell combined with hopes of prosperity in their futun wande ings over God's domain. A census taker once asked a fellow who'had eon on a long drunk, "What' your name?" "Put me down A. Total wreck!" replied the unfortunate inebri ate. The same cau be truthfully said of tho Bellevue wreck brought in the yard last night. It was a chaossd conglomer ation, twisted and tangled like Medusa' ringlets. The engine was battered out of shape, tank the same, and pilot smashed. A flat car was broke in two pieces as though it had been a stick o candy. The B. & M. band offer to give an open air concert on Main street, or-some more suitable spot, once a week, if th merchants of this city wil1 subscribe suf- ncicnc iuncis to erect a osna-stanu. jt would be a good idea for some speculative-business man to pay the expense himself as au advertisement for his busi ness. Tomorrow there will be a fresh elec- t'on at the original polling places for each ward for the purpose of deciding whether G. B. Smith or W. Winteisteen is to be elected a member of the school board. This action has been taken by the city council as there was a tie of rotes for these two gentlemen at the last c'tv election. If you are patriotically inclined and love your country and her ncble defenders go to Rockwood hali at 8 r. m. this evening and hear seme noble old "Vets" give some soul-inspired speeches of incideuts of the war. Ad mi&siou free. The Pinkerton men plead guilty be fore Judge Stiles this morning to an as sault committed on J. II. Sullivan by sti'king him over the head with a re volver. They were fined $25 each and costs $150 The city council meets this evening and we've no doubt but that something to excite, surprise and interest will be brought to the nr.tice of the conncil. Two iron horse-troughs arrived in the city this nionaing. The city council will probably tonight decide in what part of the city they will be placed. Buy your ice of McMaken & Son.

The mass meetings yesterday, conduct ed by the evangelists in the HeLhodist chnrch and Rockwood hall, we.e largely attended, especially in the evening. They had such a tendency which is hoped will bi the means of bringing forth a great revival in this city. The talks of Mr. Clagett were practical, interesting and full of thought. The singing by Mr. Bilhern was cheering, quickening and soul-inspiring. The talking and singing has undoubtedly left some good impres sions upon the hearers. The meeting in the afternoon at Rockwood hall was held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. The subject talk ed on by the evangelists was: "What think ye of Christ ?' There will be a meeting every day this week at 3 o'clock p. m., in the Methodist church, to which everybody is cordially invited.

He was pondering deeply over some inancial scheme Saturday, as with head bent had hands crossed behind his back he listlessly walked passed Clark's gro cery store. Suddenly there was the jingle of falling coin. He stopped and looked en the ground behind, before, and right and left, thrust his hands anxiously in all his pockets, scratched his head and walk ed on. He again stopped abruptly and went through the same motions, while a number of spectators on the other side of the street laughed at his discomfiture. The cause was some young ladies who sat in a window above and threw a coin or a piece of tin, to which was attached a string, onto the sidewalk and then rapid ly withdrew it. The impression 'created in the mind of the person who hears the jingle is that they have dropped some money, but feel like "Bo-peep who lost her sheep," when they find their search fruitless.
