3Ir. Bilhorn's singing of "I'm Wait
ing and Watching for Thee,vat th evan
gelistic meeting last Wednesday evening,
was an exquisite rendition of emotional,
soprano, musical tones that would touch
the heart of the hardest sinner. 3Ihs
Clara B. Paul, who sang alto in the above
beautiful hymn, also displayed marked
musical ability, and is worthy of special
mention, as under the embarrassing cir
cumstances of having so many musical
critics within hearing, she showed great
nonchalance and skill in the execution of
her part.
"A person who wakes suddenly,
shakes himself and jumps out of bed as
if he was struck by lightning will cer
tainly injure his brain if he continues
that habit for a sufficient length of time.
Th suddenly filling of blood vessels by
too sharp activity after waking will, - in
time, produce relaxation or possibly
rupture. A person should waken him
self slowly, and should rest a short time
indulging in some light general mental
operation, just enough to stimulate nor
mal activity to tho brain forces before
he ri.c from the racumbent position."
. A brcathlers young man, who had
the stamp of futura stirring events plain
ly stamped above his kissing-snapper.
rushed into Judge Russell's office yester
day afternoon for a marriage license,
"Where are you from?" asked the judge.
"Illinois!" replied the agitated youth
"Where are you going?" "To Lincoln, to
Cet married:" "Well then, I can't issue
you a license." "Where will I go to get
onei" sobbed the immaculate. "To Lin
coln," was the reply. We expect by
this tiuod he has been granted legal
authority to get buried if he thinks fit.
If you expect to have strictly first
class attractions to come to Plattsmouth
you must patronize them. Manager
Young says he has endeavored to secure
fine attractions for the patrons of the
opera house but he will not be able to do
so for next season unless .the patronage
is better than it has been. Go and hear
Zo-Zo tonight and you will never regret
it, as the play and company is worthy of
your patronage and therefor should
have a crowded house. The entire scen
ery used tonight will be tho company's
own scenery, which must le 6een to bo
appreciated. The company arriyed from
Lincoln this morning where they played
to over $600 last night, while the entire
house had been sold for Booth-Barrett,
who play there tonight.
Captain Hnry's Anecdotes.
We have been bothered so much lately
with strikes, suicides, and bloodthirsty
bums wearing lavender-colored suits and
white Derby hats, that we have not had
time to attend to matters of more impor
tance. In our account of the meeting of
the G. A. R. last Thursday night we
omitted to mention the name of J. W.
Johnson, to whom great credit is due for
the efficient manner Li which he perform
ed the duties of chairman. Captain
Henry, on that occasion, told the follow
ing stories in such an inimitable manner
that they ar too good to let slip by :
"I once heard a story about a man who
fell into a pond and was drowned. Thy
searched for the body, while the widow
stood on the bank lamenting ltfr loss in
ii very pitioua manner. When the body
was brought up it was full of eels. Her
only remark wes, 'It is no use burying
him now, put him down again and we'll
catch more eels.' "
"Once a schoolmaster gave his scholars
a lesson to learn out of the holy book
During the master's absence the boys
pasted the two leaves together, which
contained part of the lesson. When ho
returned he commenced reading from the
bottom verse of one page where tha les
son commenced, lhe remaining verses
were wasted inside the two paces. He
read: 'And Noah took unto himself a
wife 120 vears of aire.' The old gentle
man then turned over, what he thought
was a single page, and read:- olio was
150 cubits high and 50 cubits wide, made
of go her wood, and coated with tar in
side and out.' Now, a rcverand friend
of mine tells me that a cubit equals a
foot in measurement. Well, if that is so,
some of you old veterans ran imagine
how delighted you would feel taking a
lady into supper in the next room, who
was 150 feet high and 50 feet wide."
"I remember, one terribl hot day dur
ing tho war, we were in camp close by an
Illinois regiment. I was standing by my
tent door, when I noticed a sentry pacing
up and down under some trees. Very
soon ho stopped and leaned against a
tree, took off his straw hat and wiped
his perspiring brow. Then he took off
his accontremcnts, laid his rifle against
the tree and hung his belts on it. Then
he took off his coat. No, that did'nt
cool him, so off went shoes, stockings,
pant?, and all he wore was his straw hat
and shirt, (what a splendid vitw for my
portfolio. Ed.) Along came general
Ttrry, who approached the sentry and
aid: 'Do you know who I ami' 'Devil
a know, and devil a care.' 'Well, I'm
General Terry!' 'And I'm private Mc
Guire, and if your honor wates till I git
them bells on, I'll give yets a bit of a
salute.' "
"I some-times dream that whn earth is
ended, that flag (pointing with dramatic
effect to the stares and fctripee) will be
nailed to the mast under the Banner of
the Cross, iu commeration of the hun
dreds of thousands who have sacrificed
themselTes for their country's good."
The rendition of this was very impressive,
also the following:
"Down home, in
one of the rooms
of my dear, dead
the wall. Often,
there is a picture
mother hanging on
when meditating on the past, I look at
that picture, and the eyes seem glowing
with life as they gaze on me with loving
tenderness, the lips appear to move and
speak cheering words to me. That was
the mother whose husband died sixty
days after her two sons had enlisted to
fight for their country's cause. She wait
ed with patriotic patience for three years
and two months for her dear boys return
home to comfort her in her old ags, one
did return the other was killed down
8auth. Often as I gaze on those loving
features, I utter in my anguish, 'Oh!
mother, your burden was greater than
you culd'bear.' "
Read these eloqusnt utterances, you
congressmen on the "Pension Bill" and
tee that justice is done to tho few re
maining before they "Pitch their stand
ing camp one day's march nearer home."
Th9 Welsh Prizo Singers,
Who will appear at Waterman's Opera
House Monday evening, April 10, for the j
benefit of the Y. L. li. It- A , are highly
recommended. The following is a clip
ping from the Kansas City Times of
3Ireh 31st.
"Those who love music for its own
sake and not for the sake of fashion and
novelty will enjoy the concerts of the
Welsh singers. If there is still a taste for
the beautiful English glees and part mu
ic, it will not agMin soon have rucIi an
opportunity of gratification. The per
formance last night at the "Warder" was
a remarkable exliibition of pure, sustain
ed tone and undeviatiug maintainence of
difficult vocal harmonies. The female
quartette sang Hatton's "I've Watched
Yon From the Shoio" with that combin
ed exactness of execution and intelligent
feeling which makes glee muic what it
ought to be. People, who arc devoted to
comic opera and flashy ballads will hard
ly care for the Welsh singers, but thoso
who realize what tone is and how rare
are tenors and supranos with power to
emit pure, resonant tones in varying
kevs and positions, should by all meaLS
hear them. It will sound simple, but it
will be art of a high style.

There is an article bting printed in the
local columns of almost every newspaper
in the state regarding boys carrying
fire-arms. It is a very dangerous prac
tice. There are lots of small boys around
town who carrying sling shots, small
pistols, and murderous rifles with the
object of killing birds. We suppose the
parents do not think it wicked and cruel
to kill birds, All right, we'll agree on
that point and patiently await the time
when some other boy who "did'nt know
it was loaded,.' accidently perforates
their own dear child. When that happy
circumstance occurs you'll have no furth
er use for the cud and can therefore, let
it remain en the mantel shelf as a happy
reminder of a parent's carefulness.

spire your jovial thoughts, send to this

notice and two lines of poetry trout any

120, train 30, didn't stop at K. C. cross

the yards sending her flying into a lot of
basrgage cars standing on the track. 120
struck her once more, for fun, and the

Mo Longer Dependent en Nature.
One thing to be borne in mind in reflec
tions upon our future is that modern cities
are to an unprecedented extent artificial prod
ucts, the work of men's genius and energy.
Formerly nature decided where a great city
could grow up, and a high civilization was
possible only on the sea coast or on the banks
of great rivers. Now man has subjugated
nature to such an extent that be is, compara
tively speaking, independent of her whim
and caprice, if natural waterways fail,
he may construct artificial waterways, and
even without the aid of navigation at all a
city may spring up in the heart of a con
tinent. Berlin, nearly the size of New York, is in
the center of a groat open plain on the con
tinent of Europe, and may bo regarded as a
work of art. Onky by canals can navigable
rivers be reached, while the modern Iron
highway, the railroad, still more an artificial
product, is a far more important element In
developing Berlin, which has become an im
portant railroad center. It is the will of man
which has made Berlin more important than
the seaports Bremen and Hamburg. Baiti
