Our base bull boys went up to Belle-
TUw this morning to do up the collage
base bullists of that city. It is rather a
damp day for b;;ll playing, but we sur
mise that our boys will do them np so
quick that they will not feel much ef

time.
The Utah 9iily Union is the name
of a paper to be started in Cgden City on
the 14th inst., by C. S. King. The paper
is to be republican in "pel'itics and .will

the Union abundant success. May it be
a great aid to the interests of that coun

How long will cranky weather last,
the sunshine follow on the blast! ITow
long will skies be dark and gray, with
cheerless rain from day to day, how long
ere summer comes to stay "O, Lord, how
long?" How long must we, with weary
feet,, like circus actors cross the street, to
. dodge the caverns and the holes, to leave
behind our rubber soles, to flounder in
the mud that rolls "O Lordhow long?

.. The druggists convintion yesterday
recommended that the proper steps be
taken toward adding a school of phar
macy to the State University. This will
be a good addition if oar state is old
enough to warrant it. But for the legis
lature to appropriate large sums of money
for the benefit of the probable fifteen or
twentv who would take advantage of
the school,. we do not believe to be
wise move. We are in fayor of adding
to the university facilities as fast as tbc
demands of our state warrant, but we
do not believe in throwing money away
just for the sake of the name of having a
school of pharmacy in our state.
With all its annoyances from the
strike the "Q"' furnishes much better
freight facilities to this city than the Mis
souri Pacific. Within the past few weeks
we have been annoyed more in getting
freight from various points over the M.
P. than in all our lives ever the "Q" sy
tern; and we know of others who haye
the-sanie grievances. In this resicct. at
least. the-B. & M. has been all that this
concern could ask for it, but when it takes
a week to get a box of freight from Lin
coin, nny-seyen mues, over me m. i or
two weeks from Chicago, and this is oft
repeated, it is time a howl was raised.

A woman giving her named as A.'.
Watson came to town yesterday and ask
ed to be helped to Cedar Creek where she
had a brother. Sheriff Eikenbary bought
her ticket to that place sad en arriving
and her brother, failing to be her found,
she was taken to the hotel for the sight
During the night she jumped threugh an
upper stery windew and fell to the
ground bruising her faee and shoulder
most shamefully. The people of Cedar
Creek became alarmed and complained
to a justice of the peace who issued a
warrant for her arrest and she was brought
to Plattsmouth this raerning and lodged
in jail for safe keeping until she can be
taken care of by the proper authorites.
The woman is undoubtedly crazy and it
is net known that she has any relatives
- living, near here.

Spiritualism.
Sunday evening, May 13th, at the
Opera House, Miss Kate Eddy, Alex
Hume and other noted spirit mediums,
will give an entertainment for the pur
pose of demonstrating spirit power in
the light. The following are among the
many demonstrations given: Miss Ed
dy's open seance, as presented by her be
fore the leading scientific societies of
England, Austria, Germany and France.
Miss Eddy was, by them, subject to the
most cruel test conditions. There is not
one member among them but that ac
knowledges that in the presence of Miss
Eddy there is a wonderful power and in
telligence outside the physical body that
can assume human form and annihilate
distance. But what this power is there
is a diversity of opinion. A table rises
and floats abeut in midair; flowers are
brought and passed through the audi
ence by invisible hands; spirit elate-writing;
questions written and retained by
the interrogators will receive fell and in
telligent answers. The press indorse
them in all parts of the stats. A small
admission fee will be charged.
We Will Decorate-
Decoration day will soon be here. It
is but fitting that one day in the year at
least should be given to honor the dead
who gave their liyes that we might en
joy this free and happy land. The day
will be remembered with appreprite cere
monies all over the United States and it
is our duty to honor the brave dead by
contributing something to the occasion
Let every person, old or young lend a
helping hand in the exercises that are to
be given on that day. If you can do
nothing more, biingyour flowers to deco
rate some fallen heros grave. All of
these things go to help and it shows so
much better spirit to see a whole city
and country working hand in hand in
these things. We are all glad that we
have such a country as these United
States and we should oae and all honor
those who gave them to us. Let us ral
ly round the flag of the free.
Kickers as well as poets are born,
and although they are more numerous
than poets they usually live close togeth
er. It is a noticable fact that where a
great and mighty kicker is found he
usually has several associates, Why this
is so we are unable to say, unless it be
that they cannot kick unless they have
some one to stand by to hollow amen.
But thus it is every where. Even in our
own little city which can boast of its
many good features and might boast of
many more were it not for this class of
citizens. But business men should look
to the interest of our city and not listen
to these croakers. We should think ef
Gen. Grant's comparison and application
of the mugwump, or kicker, and the
wolves. They are mighty men in "great
numbers aad make a loud noise, but
they are never so many when they are
counted. 1 his is true in almost every
case. If we were governed by the noise
we heard en our streets we would never
have any improvements or advantages in
our cities for these kickers can and al
ways do make more noise than all the
rest combined. But as I said before, their
number is always less than their noise
and when the interest ef the general pub
lic demands improvements the noise of
the kicker should not be considered.

One hundred building permits have
been taken out during the week, in
Washington. Senator Reagan is going
to build a new house. Senator Sawyer
is building a new house. Speaker Car
Isle has bought a residence on K street,
and a number of the lesser lights of con
gressional life are preparing to settle in
Washington. The suburban craze has
again begun, and the opening of the new
bridge across the" Potomac has thrown a
new village called Rofclyn on the market.
During March permits were taken out to
build 201 new houses, and those of
the present month have been even larger.
Ex-Senator Henderson will break the
ground in a short time for a $30,000
house at the head of Sixteenth street,
just opposite Joaquin Miller's leg cabin,
and William Walter Phelps has built a
block of houses near the Capitel. Ben
Butler's big blue stone $150,000 residence
on the other side of the Capitol is offered
to the govejpiment for $275,000, and the
appraisers appointed by the treasury to
look into the matter have appraised it
even higher than this. The government
now pays about $10,000 a year for the
use of about one-third of this house, abd
sooner or later it will have to buy it.
