Harry, the irrepressible, made an offer of t?2.-,n00 for Waterman's opera house, he was told ho could have it for $10,000. Uj was alo bidding for a'livcry barn while hero but he did'nt buy. Mr. Jones, the contractor, is receiv ing words of praise from prominent men of this and other cities, for the rapid and substantial man in which ha is erecting the building corner of Fourth and Main streets. Mr. Wcttencamp, who owns the lot on which Mr. O'liourk's tailor shop stands, said that if be had been aware of the progress being made on the An-hauser-Dusrh block, he would have put up a brick block adjoining on the Ea&t.

The ball given last night in Fitzger ald's hall by the ladies guild of St. Luke's Episcopal church was well at tended. Supper was served on the stage and superintended in a" yery courteou-. able nianuer by the ladies of the Guild. Momus reigned supreme till about 3 a. in. this morning when Morpheus took control of the fair dancers. It was a pleasant participation of cupid's dart?, fluttering hrarts, gliding feet and looks so'swect, that will prove an unresisting attraction to the sequd of a Leap year ball. A team of hor?es, which were at tached to Murphy's delivery wagon, while standing on Winterstein hill this morning, got an idea that they were on a race-course trying to beat Jay-Eye-Sec's record With that end in view they gal loped madly past the quarter-pole and flew up the home stretch on Main street and pulled up victoiious under the wire at Sixth street. Time 1:03. The driver, W:llic Alexander, was then thrown out of the wagon and received an in- jury to one knee. He wears the winning colors and is still able to shout 4i Let her go Gallagher.''

The pontoon bridge will be located either TOO or 1,700 feet south of th rail road bridge and about a mile in a direct line from Main street. It will be built in about two months from the time the bonds arc granted. Col. S. N. Stewart wants the city to grant $10,000 bou ! to aid him in his speculative enterprise. $2,000 to be paid one year after the bridge is built and put in placu, and $2,000 a year for four years afterward?, he promising to keep the bridge in thorough working order during that time. .Such a bridge would be of incalcuable beneiit to this city, and they are used all through Europe and over every river of any importance in all oriental countries where civilization has reached. This bridge will be the first of its kind ever built over thu Missouri. It will be com posed of scows or boats 24xlG feet and can be built for $20,000, which will be at the bridge company's expense. The bridge company would require new bo:its every five years. Tha fare for teani3 would probably be twenty-fivo cents each way and pedestrians five cents for going and returning. Circulars would be distributed for thirty miles in every direction among the farming community and sign-posts erect ed indicating the direction of the bridge Ten of our piouiinent citiz-ns have bi'en appointed, to confer with Col Stewart and listen to his proposition which will be in writing, and look after the intrreits of the tax-payers of the city by seeing that the bridge company giye bonds for tha constant repair of the bridge for a specified length of time, They will report at 7:30 tomorrow night it a special call of the board of trade, The committee arc W. S. Wise, S. Waugh, F. S. White. J. W. Johnson, J. A. Con nor, J. G. Richey, Geo. E. Dovey and L, E. Skinner. Col. Stewart spoke at great length con cerning his sensible system of naming streets of whic h we haye already madt mention, namely the centre street of n city to be called "Central Avenue" all streets north to be called "Avenues," and to be numbered consecutively all streets south to be called "Corso's." (Corso is an Italian word meaning avenue or boule vard.) Dr. Shipmaa, Mr. Waugh and Mr. Baeck have been appointed a committee to investigate the mutter and submit their report to the city council for their approval. The following diagram ex plains the system: Third Street. o n a 1 O n 3 n c 3 o -4 rs c 5 Fourth Street. o s a rs 2- Fifth tr Street. CO a Sixth Street. The matter cf building this bridge is of vital importance to the future pros perity of this city. It is the first round of the ladder by which Plattsmouth may achieve greatness. It wa3 shameful to witness the indifference of our business men in this great project by their absence at the meeting last night. Go tomorrow night and investigate the matter aud then if it meets with your approval go ahead. Let the sewers be built, let the streets be paved, let the money flow. Increase your business by giving employ ment to about 500 additional urtisam and laborers. Increase your commerce by getting the trade from miles in every direction on the Iowa -shore that now diifts to Glenwood and Council Bluffs. Go to the meeting and push thing3 along or else write your epitaph "My name is mad." Announcement. An adjourned meeting ef the Board of Trade will be - held Thursday evening next, to further consider the proposition of Col. Stewart to bridge the Missouri river. We earnestly request a full at tendance of the members. R. B. Windham, President F. Hebumaxs, Secretary. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. J. P.

Nail Brushes, Cloth Brushes Tooth Brushes, Shaving Brush3f, Feather Dust ers &c, at low prices at Warrick's Drug StoW. If You'rs Coins to QuitQuit. The Chicago papers are bothering oyer the question: 4 Can a man who has taken from fire to ten drinks of whiskey a day fr four or Are years, top suddenly drinking ?" Of course he can. A little self-control la needed. If he has not eaten hardly any food for a week, let him swallow some eggs with out tha yolks being broke, that are soaked in vinegar Crosse fc Black well's is preferable. Cover the eggs and vine gar with plenty of Cayenne or black pepper. Rest the body after iho first and second dose,, which should be two or tinea eggs each time. Drink carefully, but plentifully, of milk nnd cocoa until you think the stomach is cipable of re taining food, then go ahead, but don't gorge. A few oranges through the day will be beneficial as well us plenty of milk, cocoa or water thes will satisfy the craving for something to drink, as wall as nourish and stimulate the di gestive organs. If the stomach will not retain the first or second doae, persist until it does. Exercise your will power nnd determination. Take a little exer cise through the day, and when night comes walk at a rapid gate until you feel fit to drop from exhaustion, then go to bed. You will dream and kick and toss about in your sloep and wake early the next morning and want a drink. That's where your resolution comes into play. Don't touch a drop of intoxi catinir liu'ior even if you feel near death's door. That night you will sleep a great deal better than the night before and the next day you will feel all right and have no desire to " bowl up. In two or three days from that you cuu say " Richard is himself again." Evangelistic Meetings- After their noon repast many or the workmen in the shops feasted on the bread of Heaven. The evangelists, Rev. Mr. Clagett and Mr. Bilhorn, by so: and address turned their thoughts to the Giver of every good and perfect ifift. They warmly set forth the wonderful love of God in seeking to save. Those present greatly enjoyed the in structive lessons drawn from the word of God in reirard to practical duties and Christian work in the afternoon service. The church was comfortably filled with children at th children's meeting. All seemed deeply interested and an swered the questions proposed to thrm with hearty en husiasm. Evidently many would be glad to haye the services repeated every day. The young were urged at the oveiung service to remember their Creator in the days of their youth. ' Some forty or fifty were willing to come forward and express their desire for the prayers of Christians. Many eves were filled with tears at the scene and many hearts were made glad by the hope that they would become faithful Christians. Brutes vs- Animals It is a pity this city haa not a "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." Two old ragmen are going around the city with a wagon that is drawn by two poor horses that resemble a sketch of Pegasus drawn by an artist who had suf fered for a long time from delireum tre mens. Every few moments the Shylock driver will whack their hide with his whip as though he was dusting a carpet. He might as well be whipping a clothes horse with a rag thrown over it. The poor animals are so accustomed to hard ship and cruelty that they treat their punishment as a huge joke. They remind one of the lines on humility: "So doth the fragrant sandal bow in meek forgive ness to its doom, and o'er the axe, at every blow, shed ia abundance rich per fume." The perfume in their case is im maginary. Louisville. Dr. A. V. Robertson visited Ashland Tuesday. The long talked of Temperance con cert has, or will be given up on accouut of sickness.

Dr. Meredith of Ashland, visited some cases in town "Sunday, he says they are genuine malignant measles. It almost seems as if a migratory season had been ushered in so many families are going away from town and others com ing in.
