Such summer days as this will soon
bring out the leaves ami flowers and w
willliave pleasant fragrant air once more,
The II. & M. pay car came through
yesterday anil give the boys their check
for their pay for the past month's work
Today The Ukuai.d is two hundrei
days old, and although they have not
beca the brightest it is now enjoying a
good degree of prosperity and is lure to
stay.
Cass county this morning relieved its
self of some of its burden by sending
three of its paupers to Weeping Water,
where they will be able to care for them
Reives.
The county clerk has a new order
book and all orders for county supplies
are reepjired to be made through him
Tins Is done in order that the county
commissioners may keep track of the
amount and prices paid for material in
the different county offices.
l'awnee I'ress: "When you see a
newspaper bragging on its town and
booming her for all she is worth, look at
the advertising columns ol that paper
and see if the boom is substantial or
a mere mockery. The editorial columns
may deceive, but the advertisements vril
not.
To the farmers and other noile of
Nebraska who have corn for the market.
a suggestion: Sell now. There is a buU
clique behind the present prices, and
tnero is no telling now soon it may go
to smash. Then the price will go down
and stay down. Forty cents and upward
is a good price for corn. Take it. Lin
coln Democrat.
Talk abont Plattsmout being dead,
its only been the weather. If you call
Plattamouth a dead town we think it
mighty lively corps. Why the streets are
fairly crowded today and all the mer
chants arc doirg a big business. The
city l:oks more like a boom than any
thing else. What's the use of complain
ins! Oh, well, though we remember
that there are always some people that
will complain.
The base ball game at Bellerue yes
tcrday turned out a little different from
what we had anticipated, but after we
thought a while and remembered that
our boys were very charitable, and the
Bellevue club were college men and were
striving hard to rise high in the world
of fame wc knew that our club was not
one that would try very hard to put any
thing in their way to discourage them,
consequently the game came out 23 to 9
in favor of Bellevue.
It now turns out that there are not
enough offices for all the southern demo
crats and some able exponents of that
party in advocating a reform in the man
ner of distributing the offices. They are
promising to let the presidential post
offices to the lowest bidder. If this
would improve our postal system any
we would be heartily in favor of it; but
-it looks rather scaly business to our un
sophisticated minds. We have enough
such as it is and rather than have it worse
we had rather remain where we are.
- The Firemen's ball of last eveuing
at the opera house was a grand success in
every particular. The way the program
was arranged but proves that the fire
company understand how to get up an
entertainment and how to entertain.
The hall was beautifully and artistically j
decorated and the music was fine. In
fact everything seemed to be especially
arranged for the occasion. The floor
was in excellent condition for dancing
and to those who delight to trip the light
fantastic toe a better opportunity could
never be afforded. The boys have won
for themselves, an enviable reputation in
giving this entertainment, and we are
confident that should they ever give
another of the same kird, it will be a
grander success than this one. Every one
present seemed to enjoy themselves in
every particular, and all have loud Words
of prairie for the fireman of our rify.
The parade of the firemen last even
ing was not much of a success as a num
ber of the boys failed to get around with
their uniforms.
The Riddle house is getting' to the
front in fine style. The new proprietor
is doing excellent work toward remod
elling the hotel and is now setting one
one of the beat tables to be found any
where, lie is making special efforts on
Sunday dinners aud the the citizens of
Plattsmouth would do well to ltt their
hired girls rest on Sunday and go to the
Riddle house for a good dinner.
Do mt forget that it costs something
to puff as well as advertise; never sponge
upon a printer. It is the printer's ink
that makes nine-tenths of our fortunes;
it takes money to buy ink, type and pa
per, and yet after all this, few are the
thanks the printer gets. Daniel Web
ster was right when he said of the press:
''Small is the sum required to patronize a
newspaper; amply rewarded i.its patrou.
I care not how humble and unpretending
is the gazette which he takes, it is next
to impossible to fill it out without put
ting into it something that is worth the
subscription price."' Ink Fiend.
Pome facts about the fathers of the
president of the United States. Grover
Cleveland is the only eleryman's son ev
er elected president, though Arthur's
father was a clcrgymrn, he was not, how
ever, elected president. The fathers of
the Virginia presidents Washington, Jef
ferson, Madison and Monroe were plant
ers. John Tyler's father was a lawyer
and a statesman, and John Adams, the
father of John Quincy Adams, was by
profession a lawyer. Grant's father was a
tanner, Ilaye's father a merchant, and
the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln. Pierce,
Fillmore, Polk, Van Buren and Jackson
were farmers.
We arc in receipt of the first annual
illustrated edition of the Beatrice Express
printed in book form. It is a very neat
work giving beautiful illustrations of all
the large buildings of the city of Beatrice
and a complete description of each and
every business interest of the city. The
people of that city are alive to business
aud take this means of letting the out
side world know something of the ad
vantages of their city. Such enterprises
go a long waj-s toward building up a
city and we have no hesitation iu believ
ing that the people of Beatrice will be
moro than doubly paid for the exertion
and expense of this catalogue.
Some people are always very anxious
to have others find out that they are hon
est and have lots of money. In order to
prove their honesty they are continually
asking that they be permitted to fill some
responsible position and place of trust or
that they may have a chance to prove
that they are what they say. We would
like to inform our friends, for such they
claim to be, that our business men are
meeting with thousands of such people
every day. Thousands of people who
claim to be honest and seeking some
means to display their honesty, are iu
the world, and it is a notable fact that
ninety-nine of every hundred of these
m- n who are continually trying to put
themselves off on strangers as honest
men arc rascals of the broadest type. It
is an old maxim in business, that
you must believe every man a rascal un
til he has proved himself otherwise. And
the business men who take the opposite
view of this matter are continually mak
ing failures. We have too many confi
dence men in this world and it will nev
er be otherwise until our business men
come to distrust strangers until they have
seen their honesty proven.

Editor Herald Not seeing our sec
tion of the country represented, and not
willing to let the progress and misfor
tunes of the people remain a secret.
Thought I would venture to disclose a
few. Corn planting is rather slow busi
ness, now owing to the weather, Al
though several of tho farmers have near
half their corn in the first time. In our
opinion it will need replanting. We
understand Nehawka is to have anew
church, the Holy Divines are around with
their subscription papers. It will be a
United Brethren. Nehawka is destined
to have the connty seat, so Weeping
Water is gone up the spout. Mr. Joseph
West's team ran away the other day
spilling his girl and his sister out on the
wire fence but guess no one was hurt, at
least wo hope not. We understand Mr.
Schlichteraeier has about his usual stock
of horses, all of his being burned some
time ago. Frank Sheldon is selling very
reasonable, and he has got a good trade,
too. The posteffice has been removed
to hia store, it formallv being about one
quarter of a mile west of the city. Mr.
Pollard still retains the ofhee. though.

A Confederate Copper Cent.
A copper cent in the possession of a Chu
luata, Fla., citizen is said to be more than
worth its weight in gold, because it was
coined for the Confederate government dur
ing the rebellion, from a die which was cap
tured by the United States authorities after
the forty-second piece had been struck off.
It is thought that only about twenty of these
coins are now in existence. Chicago Herald.
Russia's Wheat Crop.
A very" large share of the wheat Imported

000,000 bushels, and the export 133,000,000.
The average crop of Russia for the sanw
