Captain Palmer's Canal-
Captain Palmer happened to mention
in a casual conversation the other day
that it would be a good idea to build
canal from Cedar Creek to Plattsmouth
and to let the waters of the Platte river
run through and empty iuto flie Missouri,
and that the stream could be used to run
machinery, etc. Ever since, visiots of
the Panama cnnal, the Suez canal, and of
Plattsmouth becoming1 a seaport town
.vith frigates sailiug up Main street and
depositing their cargoes at the doors of
our merchants' stores, have haunted the
fertile brajn of tho editor of the Jour
itul Captain palmer has become the
prototype of the great financier cud
canal constructor Mons. Lesseps. He is
being asked editorially every day why
he don't build that canal. Well, why
don't he? It's easy enough. All that is
required is for that gentleman to devote
his whole time to the scheme and invest
about $1,000,000. There's a good chance
to immortalize yourself eaptain. Plank
down the cash and we promise you two
lines of an obituary notice by Judge
Julius Cooley, the poet laurete of Neb-
ska, for your headstone.
jiui, 6enousiy spcaKiug, tne idea is
very feasible apd no "south sea bubble."
It i3 within an inch of twelve miles from
an island near Cedar Creek to the depot
in this city, and the difference in the al
titude cf the Platte and Missouri at
Cedar Creek and Plattsmouth is about
553 feet, or in other words there would
ba a fall of water (if a canal was dug)
in this city that number of feet, and it is
no exaggeration to say that there would
be suilicient water power to turn all the
machinery in the state of Nebraska.
Captain Talmer, who has already invested
large sums of money to aid in tho wel
fare of thij city apd is prominent in
every enterprise that will add to out
prosperity is willing to invest $G00 or
$1,000 in any company that will under
take to build this canal. Not let some
body els talk that means business.
"Dad's Boy."
The largest audience of the season as
sembled in the Whitley opers. bouse last
evening to witness the Eunice Goodrich
company in the impressive drama en
titled "Dad's Boy." Eunice is a charm
ing actress and wins the favor and sym
pathy ef the audience and carries all
hearts with her to the fall of the curtain.
"Dad's Boy" is much the strongest play !

-
"Wanted, a Husband." This is a play
"constructed for laughing purposes

"Drop tho Pigeon "
The latest trick to amuse the "Boys"
on the streets is an old confidence game
called "drop thj pigeon." Two or three
confederates work the game at any corner
where a few persons are congregated idly
chatting. 'One of them has a purse that
has a piece of string tied around it. The
purse contains two nickles and is placed
iu an outside pocket and a portion of
the string allowed to hang outside. A
confederate takes the purso out of the
pocket, in full tight of those standing
round and unknown to the owner, opens
the purse, takes out a nickle, when the
purse appears empty. He then replaces
it, still feaving a portion of the string
hanging outside the pocket. In a min
ute or so, he again tugs at the string, the
owner catches hiui, takes the purse from
his coat pocket and places it in an inside
pocket, at the same time remarking "I
would'nt lose that purse for anythiug. I
put a nickle ia it when the strike began
for luck and I've kept it there ever since."
Then one of the crowd who saw the con
federate take out a nickle, and ot course,
never dreams of another nickle still be
ing in the purse, is induced, by side re
marks, to bet the cigars for the crowd,
that the purse is empty. I he purse is
produced, the strinsr unwound, and
opened cautiously, when there is just one
nickle there,-sure. Thn the "Boys'
proceed to a cigar store and the halloo
ing, shouting and laughter at the poor
victim's expense, makes everybody pop
their heads out of windows and run to
their deors to see "what's the matter."
Salvation Army Jokes.
Booth the tragedian has been in Oma
ha so has Gen. Booth's son of the Salva
tion Army. That reminds us of the fol
lowing amusing dialogues we have over
heard at their meetings, where some of
the inembors, generally women, go among
the audience and ask them "are you
saved?" "Do you belieye in Jesus?" and
other similar questions.
A half-witted youth used to go around
town inquiring of everybody he met if
they would eive him work. Sometimes
they did, and often they would not pay
him for his labor. He was told, one day
that if he went to the meeting that they
would give bini work, but to b sure aud
ask for his pay in advance. lie attended
the meeting, and an old lady approached
him, and said, "Are you working for the
Lord!" "No, mam, I ain't working for
anybody, but 1 want work awful bad!"
"Well, would'nt you like to work for the
Lord?" "Yes, if he'll pay me every
week. "
A German girl was asked, "Don't you
love Jesus?" Sue replied, "Uis name
not Yesus its Yon!"
The Question was put to a young fel
low, "Are you working for Jesus?" "No,
sir,'1 he answered, "I'm working for tl
B. & M. !"
The ceremony wound up by the ques
tion being put to a solemn-looking
young man, "Are you a Christian?" "No,
he innocently replied, "I'm rt Swede."

The Welsh Prize Singers.
The following is a clipping from the
Boston Herald, Nov. tf, 1SS7.
Last night a very meritorious perform
ance was given nt the Crawford Grand
by the Welsh Prize Singers. The audi
ence, while not a very large one, was u
very appreciative one, almost every num
ber of the program being greeted with
an encore. The ladies appeared in their
national costumes, and while they may
not have made up no well or created so
favorable an impression as the female
members of the opera company; yet tht-y
have sweeter voices mid know how to
sing better than the majoi ity of so culled
operatic singers. The ladies Quartette.
"I've Watched You from the Shore"
made a most favorablo impression and
on an encore they gave "Home, Sweet
Home." The tenor solo of Mr. Beddor
and the inale-quartette were, too, both
worthy of the most favorable mention.
A most delightful part of the program
was the harp solos by Mr. Barker. His
performance wns encored time after time;
in fact it seemed as though the audience
could not get enough of the sweet, de
licious music. They go from here to
Newton where they appear tonight.
