Th Nebraska State Dental Associa
tion convened at Grand Island yesterday.
A large attendance was had and a gen
eral good time experienced.
The Plattsmouth Canning Co. is
making great preparations for the can
ning season. They have just received a
car load of cans us a starter, and we
have no doubt but they will till many
more car loads during the season.
-An entertainment will ho given in
Kockwood hull on Friday night of this
week for the benefit of the Presbyterian
Sunday school library. The small admis
sion fee of 10 cents will be charged at
the door and all are cordially invited to
come and help the Sunday school.
The April term of the districe court
of tliis couuty, adjourned yesterday. It
lias been a long term and an immense
amount of business was transacted dur
ing the term. Tle entire docket was
cleared of all coses ready for trial and
the attorneys of Plattsmouth can now
rest untd September.
Vuother runaway happened last
night about 7 o'clock. This time it was
a one horse rig. The man was thrown
out of the buggy but not serirously in
jured. The horso relieved himself of the
buggy on the corner of Third and Main
streets bounded away down the street
nd was seen no more by ye reporter.
The committee on arrangements for
the entertainment to be given in Tloek
wood liall Friday night of this week,
have prepared a very nice program and
considering the fact that the admission
is only 10 cents they should have a full
house. Th3 proceeds are for the benefit
of tha Presbyterian Sunday school library
and all are cordially invited to come.
The divine injunction is, if a man
smite your right cheek, give him also a
chance at the left. Far from obeying
the tuaching it appears that a large por
tion of humanity are diligently to ef
fectively return the one planted on the
right. Idlia (Col.) Sentinel. Well,
that may be the injunction tlure, but here
if a fellow smites you on the right cheek
you smite him over the head if you can
find him.
The bids on the sewer bonds were
opened yesterday at noon and it was
found that Spitzer & Co., of Toledo,
doing business for a firm in Boston, had
the highest bid and were therefore
awarded the bonds. The bonds were
sold at a premium of .82. per cent mak
ing a total of (40,828 for the bonds.
This shows that the people of the east
have confidence in our city and are will
ing to take her paper at a premium.
J. A. Conner is breaking twenty five
hundred acres of ground north of Col
umbus in the township farm, ho has
plans drawn by an architect of this city
for twenty houses twenty-four feet by
thirty, and and one-hdf stories high, for
his tenants. This is a good chance for
renters for next year to move on this fall,
and backset the land so it will be ready
for spring crops. Parties who wish to
rent apply to J. A. Connor Plattsmouth,
Nebraska.
One of Mr. "Weckbach's teams got
frightened at a freight train yesterday
afternoon, became unmanageable and
ran away. There were two boys in the
wagon but oue jumped eut bruising his
right leg slightly, the other remaining in
the wagon was not injured. The team
ran against a freight train then jumped
in a cattle guard and stopped. They
were slightly pealed up but beyond this
no damage was dene to the team. It
was a lucky escape all around and can
only be attributed to luck that boys team
and all were not badly injured or killed.
John Kennedy was arrested for an
assault on Anton Vitoush with intent to
commit murder. The preliminary trial
was held yesterday in police court with
Attorneys Deeson and Clark on the part
of the state and A. N. Sulliyan on the
defense. Seyeral witnesses were examin
ed on each side and after the plea of the
attorneys was submitted to the court who
asked to bare until 10 o'clock today to
make bis decision. On as embliag of
court this morning the court finds that
there is not probable cause for binding
defendant over to district court tad
therefore Caw is dWnjiasfcd.
The Journal.
The Journal is sick again. It is always
sick, but yesterday a raging fever over
came it and in its frantic raving, spout
ed a few ill-becoming remarks or lies at
Tni-: Herald.
The city ordered a few cards printed
for the council, of Thk Herald, a mat
ter of $2, probably, without first con
sulting the Journal on the matter and
the following was the result taken from
their report of the council meeting last
night:
'The members of the council then
gazed on a specimen of the. ''black
smith's" skill :ssued from the otlicc of
the "Organette'' on Vine street, which
was in the form of a card, supposed to
contain the names ot the city council.
It should be framed alongside the pic
ture of the "log cabin "way back in Ken
tucky." A few of its errors are as follows :
"Shipman" reads'-Salisbury," "C. O'Con
nor'' reads "C. C. Connor" and "C.
O'Conoor." They were determined to
have the name right. Dr. John Black's
name is placed on the ''Board of Health"
where it don't belong, and J W. John
son, F. Gorder and W. II. Newell of the
Board of Public Works, are not men
tioned at all. In addition there are
tw clve punctuation marks omitted. The
council decided not to pay for such a
botched specimen of printing."
The cards were printed as they were
ordered with the exception ot two names
in which a couple of typographical er
rors had been over-looked. The punc
tuation marks the "red rag organ" has
reference to were omitted intentionally.
We do not really believe the man with
the big head in the rat cellar could im
prove on it any by giving information
as to where such punctuation marks
should be placed. The very "rag" that
criticised our work comes out full of er
rors and instead of presenting such a
thing before the public as a newspaper,
they should print scross the face of it
with the largest wood-letter they haye
in their shop, "proof sheet" and coninnt
it to the waste basket if they have one
of their own. The name "C. C. Connor"
as they have it is not printed that way,
and if the "blear-eyed tub" which was
rolled up to the council chamber en
wheels, would wipe the cob-webs out of
his eyes, he could probably see a little
further than the prominent feature on the
front part of the pumpkin which is plac
ed on his shoulders as an excuse for a
head. The pond, just where "Stink
Creek" empties into the sewer is fast fill
ing up with cat fish and suckers, and it
is rumored when the city and Board of
Trade make their next improvements,
they will wash the filth from that corner
to the sewer below where it belongs.
The only possible chance we can see for
them to escape would be to call the Shat
tuck fund to the rescue which they had
buried in the quick-sand for along time,
but we hope such will not be the case for
it can be used in a more beneficial way.
For a sample of the JournaVs work we
would like to distribute the city ordi
nances, but as they cannot secure them
on account of C. O. I), marks for bind
ing, we will be obliged to rest contented
and let the people see for themselves if
that opportunity is afforded them. Tbey
seem to forget that The Herald has al
ways lent them a helping hand when
they would run short of paper, simply
because we wish to keep the "rag" fly
ing, because snch opposition could do us
less harm than anything which could
take its place.
The Party of Equal Rights met in
convention in Des Moines, la., yesterday
to nominate a candidate for president
and vice-president of the United States
Arrangements had been made for the
delegates who were unable to attend to
send ballots by mail. The convention
proceeded to count the ballots thus re
ceived and found Belva A. Lockwood
of Washington. D. C, was the choice for
president and Alfred II. Love, of Phila
delphia, for vice-president. The con
vention adopted a platform favoring
woman suffrage, pensions for all needy
soldiers and sailors, a tariff with free
sugar and lumber and to repeal the tax
on whisky and tobacco, and unrestricted
immigration. The convention then ad
journed sine die.
The M. E. social last night at the K
of P. hall was a success in every way
The first thing on the program was a
song by the M. E. choir, followed by a
declamation by Miss Kittie Russell which
was well delivered. Miss Witten then
read a piece in a way that showed that
she had a fine voice for elocutiop. Miss
Anna Sullivan spoke the revised edition
of Maud Muller. in a way that was quite
pleasing. Miss May Russell read a piece
and Mrs. Martin and Mutz sang a duet
alsj 3Ir. W. A. Darrick sang a solo.
After the urogram ice cream and cake
were seryed and a social time was had
generally. A half dozen or more were
playing the organ and singing diirug
the evening.
The open air concert on 4th street
last night was well attended, but we
having just had a full bach of almanac
jokes and not desiring an electric belt,
concluded that the best place for ns was
in our cosy little bed and gave our room
to those who had a better car than we
