getting to the front with his work.
I lie ladies of the ,U. L. cliurcu are
making arrangements to give a May Queen
celebration at the opera house May 29
and 30. The ladies are sparing no pains
to make this one of the grandest celebra
tions of the season and we would be
speak for them the liberal patronage of
the citizens of our city.
frame r.. iiartigun, ot L'rete, repre
senting the Nebraska Chautauqua Assem
bly, spent Sunday in this city, and made
this oflice a pleasant call this morning
Mr. Haitigan speaks in glowiug words of
the work expected to ie accomplished at
the Chautauqua this year and we heartily
wish it success.
John Nicluis and F. M. Wolvcrton
were arrested yesterday on a charge of
drunkenness and using obsence language
on our streets. They were brought be
fare Justice Stiles this morning and
Niehans was fined $24.25, while Wolver
ton got 30 days in jail at hard labor.
Truly the way of the trasgressor is hard.
Isaac Brown of Shreve, Ohio, spent
Sunday with County clerk Critchfirld.
Mr. Brown was formerly an old neighbor
of Mr. Critch field in Ohio, and while
traveling through this country finds a
pleasant greeting from his former old
neighbors of the cast. Mr. Brown is on
, his way to Crete to visit with a brother
there.
A new barber shop at the Riddle
house is a fixed article. Mr. Riddle lias
secured two of the best barbers to be
found anywhere in the state and will at
once fit up a shop in the finest and most
modern style where the guests of the
Riddle house and all others who desire
will get first class work done at reasona
ble prices and in a workman like man
ner. The latest arithmetical problem is as
follows: Put down in figures the year
in which you were boru (18C0 for in
stance,) add 4, plus your age at next
birthday if before January 1st, (if after
that date at your last birthday,) multi
ply by 1,000, and from the total subtract
077,423. The result, if the figures are
taken to denote their numerical equiva
lent of the alphabet, will give your
standing ia society. For instance 1 will
be a, 2 be b, 3 c, etc. Lincoln Courier.
Journal: "The B. & M. newspapers
throughout the state of Nebraska make
themselves extremely absurd in their ac
counts of the shooting affray here the
other night. Their erroneous statements
in their efforts to belittle the brother
hood are disgusting." Oh consistency
you make us tired. We believe that we
get almost as many exchanges as our es
teemed contemporary and we have failed
yet to see one that has in the least tried
to belittle the brotherhood. In fact none
have had anything but words of praise
for it. Its a grand institution and has a
grand object before it and no one has
had any other thought of it that we liaye
seen. Its only the anarchists glasses that
the Journal is looking through.
We are in receipt of circulars an
nouncing the seventh annual session of
the Nebraska Chautauqua Assrfhbly at
Crete, Nebraska, from June 28 to July
10, '83. f 3.500 have been appropriated
to secure the foremost lecturers, teachers
and divines for the assembly this year.
The management are sparing neither
money nor pains to make this session of
the Chautauqua the grandest yet held in
the state. An extensive programme has
been arranged and noted lecturers and
divines from all parts of the world have
. b:en secured for the session. Plenty of
teats have been provided for all and
their will also be good dining halls and
lunch stands on the ground and all ueces
sary arrangements have been made for
the accommodation of all nho may de
sire to attend. Reduced rates on all
railroads will be given those who apply
for the same. A grand good time is ex
pected, let every body turn oat and have
a good time. '
Yesterday was truly a May day and
might be termed the first one of the
season.
Remcmlr the May Queen celebra
tion at the opera heuso May 20 and 30 by
the ladies of the 31. E. church. Arrange
ments arc being made for a grand good
time and it will pay all to attend.
One extreme follows another. Just
a few days ago our people were kicking
because our streets were so muddy, to
day we have the street sprinkler out to
keep down the dust.
Some person has pealed the bark
from two of the newly planted trees on
the high schcol grounds. This is a
mean, malicious trick and the perpetrator
should be found and punished to the
fullest extent of the law for such work.
We are informed that the railroad
boys are fixing up a barber car and in
tend to have two barber chairs brought
on at once. They propose to have a
place where their men can get shaved
and their hair cut without coming up in
town.
It is getting time for somebody to
say something about celebrating the 4th
of July. It is quite a while yet until the
4th but it usually take considerable
work to arrange for a good celebration
and Plattsmouth does not want to be
behind her neighbors in showing her ap
preciation of these creat and crand free
states of ours.
- "If you would have a thing well
done do it your self," is an old but true
addage. It will apply in city affairs as
well as any other. If you want a city to
boom you must contribute something to
its success. The citizens of a town are
what make a town and if they all sit
down and do nothing for it, of
course it will be dead. If you want
Plattsmouth to boom get up and boom
it. Add something to tha progress of
the city and we will have a real live
boom, right away.
A Connecticut man tells this story
of a remarkable exhibition of nerve by a
professional sneek thief: "One day he
walked quietly into a bank, took off his
hat and coat hung them on a nail, put
on an office coat that hung there, and
walked into the rear room which contain
ed the vaults, The directors were hold
ins a meetinjr. and one sat in front of
the door, blocking the passage. The
thief politely asked him to move, and
when the obliging director did so the
man went through the door, picked up
two of the largest bags of gold in sight
coolly walked out with them, and thief
and gold were seen no more."

Street Costumes In .Manilla.
People arise early in the morning bc-ro,
retire late at night and do the major portion
of their sleeping during the middle of the
day when the sun is hot and it is not pleas
ant to work. Long before daylight ths streets
are noisy with moving vehicles of all sorts
and crowds of bare legged, bare armed
natives of all sizes and both sexes, hurry
hither and thither on multifarious errands
connected with the housekeeping and mer
cantile needs of the day. Their costume con
sists, solely, as to the men, of a pair of very
thin muslin pants rolled up as close to the hips
as possible, and when a shirt is worn it hangs
outside the pants; the front is thrown open
and the sleeves are rolled up to the shoulders.
Occasionally a hat is worn, which is shaped
like a wash basin, and is made of finished
bamboo strips or sheets of tortoise slielL
The. women wear gay ly colored calico skirts,
which reach just below the knees, and a
loo6e jacket of calico or ruusliu. These arti
cles comprise their entire apparel. In the
throne may be seen an occasional Mestizo or
native lady, with her long trained and gor
geously colored skirt, with black silk or satin
apron, worn behind instead of in front, and
the pretty waist with flowing lace trimmed
sleeves, and rich, tfutfylace handkerchief, in
which her bead, with its wreath of glossy jet
black hair, rests like the petal of a lily. The
hair of the average Mestizo, or native lady,
is the most attractive feature of her person.
It is always as black as night, usually reaches
far below her waist and grows most luxuri
antly. She washes it every morning, or, at
least, every other morning, and after the
ablution anoints it liberally with cocoanutoil,
which is almost as cheap as dirt. You can get
half a gallon of it for fifteen cents at retail,
Many a native girl trots along the streets in
