In 1872 Frank Carruth issued some
$3 advertising checks on wlrch was
printed: Any one buying five or more
dollars worth of goods at once were en
titled to a discount of 5 per cent. The
other day he received one of these checks
with a letter, from a lady in Indiana ask
ing him to redeem the check. We think
it nothing more than right that Mr. Car
ruth should redeem the check, by send
ing the lady the three dollars.
Last night the police found a crowd
of men on the streets and on investi
gation found that they were gathered
around a man who had been knocked
senseless. Picking the man up to take
him home he let his cane fall to the
ground and some one picked it up and
ran up behind the police and struck the
wounded man on the head with the po
liceman's cane. The policeman attempt
ed to arrest the 6lugger, but could not
leave his wounded man long enough to
catch him and before the ether pol ce
could get there the villian had got away
and could not be found.
One of the school ma'ams of the
high school yesterday after closing the
long and tedious exercises there which
fell to her lot, thinking her authoritative
opportunities would be at an end for
some time, resolved to make a last grand
effort to close up the day with a little
sport, and endeavoring to grutif the
high spirit which she was then endowed
with, succeeded. But unfortunately for
her, she selected a wrong object for her
amusement a deer belonging to a medi
cal gentleman in the city which had
not been accustomed to the pats and
slaps of a school ma'am. She succeeded
in gently tapping the little fellow a few
time which wae quite agreeable to the
deer, but when she thought that weuld be
her last opportunity to slap, she was
not contented in being so lenient with it
and drepped on the full power of a
school teacher. This the deer, not being
accustomed to, could not tolerate, which
the teacher soon understood judging by
the swift move she made down street
followed by Mr. deer screaming for "dear
life."

A TERRIBLE OUTPACE
Police) Find the Window of a Bank
Open and are Afraid to Make
an Investigation.
Call for the Plnkerton to Help
Catch the Intruder.
Great excitement prevailed among the
city police this morning about 3 o'clock
when one of them en his regular beat
found the window of the Cass County
Bank open, and thinking there must I
e
some one robbing the bank, he summon
ed the rest of the police to his assistance
all stood around at a safe distance
waiting for the burglars to appear. But
h failed to appear in a reasonable time
and it was decided to invade upon him
and sent a man down to the yards after
the Pinkcrton police who camo up to as
sist in capturing the supposed terrible
bank robbers. On the arrival of the Pink-
erton force it was decided to send for
Mr. Patterson, cashier of the bank, but
as none of the city police were brave
enough to go alone they concluded to
dispense with that arrangement and pro
ceeded to nut one of the police in at the
window to make the investigation. But
when he got in he was afraid to make
the search and one of the Pinkertons had
to get in with his lantern to help maki
it. The search was make but no burg
lars were found and the police dispersed
feeling glad that there had been no one
found to scare them out of their wits
But while they were yet gathered round
the bank a strange gentleman came along
and of course after such great excitement
as had just been gone through with, a
s'ranger at that hour of the night was a
very suspicious character, and he was
hailed on the streets to give an account
of himself which he did by saying he had
been to see his best girl which certainly
accounted for the lateness of the hou
of his passing along the street, otherwise
he would have been pulled, we suppose
for attempting to rob the bank. But to
return to tha subject, it seems an outrage
to a city of eight thousand inhabitants
to have a police force that are afraid to
attempt to arrest a suppose! bank robber
Suppose the Pinkerton men had not been
here, we suppose they would have walked
off without attempting to find out wheth
er anyone was in the bank or not. Such
cowardice is an outrage and if such work
as this is going to be dwue it would be
well to lire the whole outfit and hire some
ten year old boys, as we doubt if there is
a boy in the city of that age who wouli
have thought of being afraid of making
such an attempt. Fire these fellows and
get men who are not afraid to make an
arrest and not have our city disgraced
any more by such a display of cowardice.
The Lectures.
Editor IIekald. I desire to make
favorable mention through the columns
of your paper, of the afternoon lectures
as given to the ladies by Mrs. Swetland,
at the Christian church.
These lectures, although deliyered free
of charge, are in no degree inferior to
those given on similar subjects, where an
admittance of twenty-five cents is charg
ed. Facts of vital importance to all
women are uttered in such a clear and
concise manner as to be highly instruct
ive and beneficial to those who hear
them.
Should Mrs. Swetland reamin longer
I trust the people of Plattsmouth will
show their appreciation of an earnest
benefactor by giving her a full house, ac
companied by practical remuneration.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
A Large Audience Creets the Eight
Young Graduates A Splen
did Class.
The Hall Beautifully Decorated-The
Productions In Full.
The commencement exercises of high
school were held last night at the opera
house, as was previously announced.
The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers and ever the gass jets hung
the pictures of the graduating classes for
the past six years. On the stage sat the
musicians consisting of two rows across
the ftagc, of girls all dressed in white
and the music they made was excellent
and most charming to the car. Up over
their heads was displayed the motto of
the class, "Speramus MiHora," "We
hope for better tilings."
The programme was fully carried out
as printed, each subject and speaker be
ing announced by Prof. Drummoud.
Space forbids our speaking of each one
separately, and as most of them will be
published in The Herald it is sufiiceth
to say that the exercises were good
throughout. The essays were well writ
ten aud contained many good thoughts
for reflections. Although the oratory of
the class might bear a little criticism,
especially the gentleman of the class, who
seemed to be afraid of hurting their
throats. The exercises showed that each
one had thoroughly mastered his subject
and had given his best thoughts and
greatest fkill.
Mr. Polk, who was to have presented
the diplomas, failed to put in an appear
ance and that duty was performed by
Rev. Burgess, in a few, well chosen re
marks, after which a short speech
on the needs of the schools of
Plattsmouth was made by Prof. Di um
mot.d and another song closed the exei
cises. All went home feeling that they
had been well paid for their trouble and
proud that the graduating class of the
high school of our city were able to so
highly entertain such a large audience
so successfully.
"RUTH."
KY KATK HAimCAN.
Many years ago in the good old days
of the judges we find according to sacred
writ, there lived a woman known as
Ruth the Moabitess. To all those famil
iar with the Bible it will seen aimless to
go through a detailed account of that
life as given in scripture, so we will
merely endeavor to bring to mind some
of the marked characteristics of that most
perfect example of ideal womanhood.
Her childhood was perhaps spent as
that of most children, which often seems
to the troubled world one unbroken day
of sunshine. It is no doubt true that
childhood in childhood's mind has
troubles, but when the child advances in
years and starts upon life's long and
weary way the times cornels often, as we
shall see by the life of our subject, when
the heart vainly calls o'er the tide of
years,
Back ward, turn backward, O Time, in your
flight,
Make me a child ajraiD, j.ist for to-ciyht ;
Years rolled on and she neared the age-
when according to tho custom of her
country, she was to choose her lifes work.
Marriage being the brightest future for
woman at that time she decided to share
the fate and fortune of a youth who had
come from a strange country, who knew
not her gods nor her customs, but in all
those vows made at the alter the was
never known to falter. When she took
those vows she probably saw nothing in
the future but sunshine and happiness.
But alas! for the air-castles built in the
day-dreams of this mortal life! They
fade away in the shadow leaving only a
vision which even memory dares not re
call in fear of losing all power ever to do
so again. After her marriage she spent
a few happy years but that was all; for
a cloud settled about her young life aud
the angel of death who never missed his
mark aimed an arrow at her heart whose
wound was never to be healed. Deprived
of the husband she had loved and cher
ished she determined to live for her, who
had borne him. Accordingly, when
Naomi started back to her people and
her birth-place Ruth girded the armor of
self-sacrifice more closely about her and
entered the harvest field. There she
gleaned bringing home the fruits of her
labor to one who should in the future,
be to her, mother, friend, and guardian.
And do God's readers not think that dur
ing this time she was not only gleaning
in that earthly harvest field but there
was still another, a heavenly Held where
the angels in joy brought homelier fruits
to the heavenly Master, and with tearg of
thanksgiving laid them at his fef-t. Also
as that which she brought from the earth
ly field was pleasing to her earthly friend
as we can trust were her heavenly offer
ings. Then she was not only humbled by
being obliged to toil with the poorest of
the peasants but after she had shown her
self worthy the respect and love of her
fellow-creaturjs she was denied by him
who should have claimed her. This
was "tho most unkindest cut of all;" yet,
her faith failed her not and however
great might have been the temptation to
return to the gods of her fathers who had
been with her in times of prosperity, she
paid homage to the God of Abraham un
der whose wings she had come to trust.
These were dark days coycred by the
shadow which must come sooner or later
inthe life of ull, but which be it said
with regret are not always born a they
were here.
All must remember it ha3 been justly
said "No cross, no crown "
But as the darkest day cannot last for
ever, the cloud with the leaden lining
passed away, she married again and
time passed on wings of light until she
peacefully slept with her fathers.
She closed her eyelids in that last sleep
little knowing that through her should
be born not only David the sweet singer
of Lsreal, the man after God's ownlheurt,
but ono who should redeem the world
from all its wickedness and sin.
Here is what may be justly termed, one
of our maker's written fairy t nles. But
O how sad it is to think of the unwritten
which lie deeper than imagination cm
fathom. We hardly realize what a world
of romance we live in but when that
bok which notes even the sparrows fall
shall be opened to the eyes of mortal we
shall see the sacred harmony of God run
ning through all. filling it with love and
purity, loo, are we not told that the
record of bad deeds in blatted out with
the tears of angels while the deeds them
selves are washed and made holy by the
blood once shed on Calvary I
Ruth lived and died as others number
less as the sands of the sea both before
and after her. This life is but an exam
ple selected from many of the same type.
It teaches us humility, self-sacrifice, per
severance and all that is requisite to an
honest upright, life. That as we pur
sue our journey, we should be careful
to select only wheat and never allow tares
to enter in the gleanings.
Her trials seem very severe, sometimes
almost intolerable; but now an we view
her life do we find it in our hearts to
wish those days of sorrow might have
been recalled? Ah no! No more than
we could wish the lamb whose blood was
offered as a sacred sacrifice might be
born again to ham if it could find a
nobler death.
Now, in conclusion we can only trust
that if our lifes work may not be as threat
or as much benefit to mankind as was
that of our subject we can at least do our
duty in that state of life unto which it
has pleased God to call us. And when
the day of judgment comes and we. His
reapers, meet on the plains of Jerusalem
may there be no sorrow or sadness but
with the songa of angeles and archangels,
we will go to the homo which Jesus our
savior has gone to prepare.

I, CVESAK, CROSSED THE RUBICON.
BY STELLA LEACH.
It is said that Julius Caesar, first of the
Twelve Ctesars, when beginning his
march against Rome, came with his arniv
to the banks of the Rubicon, the boun
dary between his province of Cisalpine
Gaul and Italy. Here he hesitated, to con
sider again the importance of the step he
was about to take; to cross, was to make
war upon the republic; to remain, meant
utter destruction to all his well laid plans
for srreatness. At last his decision was
made, he crossed the Rubicon, met with
success in almost every undertaking, un
til he had indeed reached the height f
his ambition he was master of Rome.
As the Rubicon of our lives, let us take
the character. For, a3 it was necessary
for Ctesar to cross the river that he might
pursue his way to success, so is it neces
sary for us to have a character in order
to be successful.
"Character," says Webster, "is the sum
of decided qualities wich distingush one
person from another;" or, in other word?
it is that indescribable something which
distinguishes a man from all fe'low-crea-tures.
A man ma be weak or very strong as
regards character. A man weak in this
respect is apt to enter upon many more
projects than he can accomplish. He is
ever ready to follow some new piece of
advice, and in trying to do what every
one says, he is likely to become involved
in difficulties with which he has not the
courage or persistency to battle. At last
lie succumbs to, whai seems to him, the
inevitable.
On the contrary a man of strong char
acter considers lully every step he takes,
every action is done with some end in
view, Rowe tells U3 that "The strong ana
active couquer difficulties by daring to
attempt them."
When this decision is made he not only
dares to attempt to conquer the difficul
ties which stand in his way but he persis
tently poshes forward to the end. Not
that his decisions are always the wisest,
but there is wisdom in the carefulness
and patience displayed in doing what be
thinks best. Failure only serves to make
him more deliberate in his future decisions
and more earnest in hia work.
With character as the Rubicon or start
ing point of success, the next thing to be
considered is an aim in life. Before a car
penter builds a house he desires a definite
nlan of how the house is to be built. So
I it is in life we must have an aim, a defi
nite plan of what weinean to do and
then follow that plan in every detail as
nearly as possible.
One's aim in life need not necessarily
be ones calling, in fact, it should not be,
man should bo something more than a
machine, having no thought beyond imp
ly existing. Everyone, undoubtedly, has
at times felt discontented with his lot in
life and hat experienced a desire to batlle
himnelf, this longing stimulates him to
exert himself to the utmost in order to
rcali.u his hmging. Or, instead f trying
to satisfy this longing, be will "Queiuh
it, that lie may be still conti nt with mere
ly living."
One may desire to gain wealth and
after a long, weary struggle still he. a
poor man; he may aim at obtaining an
education, but tire uiiiHtaiices which be
cauuot govern prevent his doing so; but
he can aim at a higher development of
character, which is something that is not
controlled by wealth or pos.tion, and he
can succeed iu this.
In this life every man has an individu
al responsibility resting upon him. Every
man was put here by the Great Maker to
fill some place into whic h no one else
would exactly fit. Many people undc-rate
the value of a single individual, they
think one man is not of much importance
ond cannot accomplish much.
Think for a moment of the great things
that have been done by individuals; no
vast army delivered the children of Israel
from Egyptian bondage, but one man
Moses.
No learned society discovered America,
but one man Columbus. No associa
tion of science revealed the clew to in
terpret the laws of the universes, but one
man Galileo.
'Tis true that they may have had ad
vantages, but et ill they were obstacles
with which they had to contend alone
and which they overcame by perseverance
and patience equal to that displayed by
Demosthenes, who, to orercomu an im
pediment in his speech, went down to
the seashore and putting pebbles in his
mouth talked loud enough to be heard
above the roaring of the sea, by overcom
ing this impedime nt he became one of the
greatest orators Greece eyer had.
We may not fill the high positions
these men did, we cannot all be leaders
in this vast army of life, there must be
some followers, and if ax do our very
best to be worthy of tha name of a follow
er, then can we each sa3 "I, like C:iar,
have crossed the Rubicon and gained
success."
PEACE.
1JY BIRDIE HOUSEWORTIT.
In the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth, the sea, and all
that in them is; aud on the seventh day
he rested from his labor. Around him
lay the given field, the. lofty mountains,
the gurgling brooks, the mighty rivers.
The trees were laden with ripe fruit.
Above him the golden sun had shed ita
last faint rays and myriads of less'jr lights
decked the sky. His work was good.
psace reigned.
The last finishing stroke of this wond
erful woik of creation was man. Al!
the glories and benefits of earth w.-re at
his disposal. Who cannot now, in
fancy, see him as he moves with noiseless,
peaceful tread, exploring, investigating
all the wondrous and the beautiful thit
surrounded him. How justly might he
have exclaimed, "I am mona.ch of all 1
survey." But alas! how soon, how sud
den was the change. Sin overtook him,
and his happiness was ended; his pta;
ful days were o'er.
The power, the might, the grandeur in
that wonderful word "Peace," was, per
haps, never but once fully realized.
Look at the bounding billows. Hear the
peal on peal of thunder. How vivid is
each flash of .lightning. See the wind
tossed vessel. See the frightened di?ci
ples, how they cower and shrink ! But
above all hear a voice so calm, eo firm
say, "Peace, be still! " How changed
the scene; tempest ceased, the toil and
terror of the fearful oaes alike at rest.
Yet not alone on pages of Bible History
do we find x. record of the times of peace
and note their influence for good upon
the masses. Succeeding the era of Ad
am, we find that during each age there
was a time when wars were ended, strifes
were ceased, and the people were enjoy
ing the blessings which such a period af
forded. From 31 B. C. to 14 A. D., a
time known as the Augustan Age, was
one unbroken continuance of peace and
prosperity. Wrar having terminated, the
people turned their thoughts to litera
ture, art, and religion. During this
peaceful period occurred the birth of
Christ. We also find that each genera
tion produced some personage gifted
with more than ordinary powers, where
influence was ever exerted in the direc
tion of harmony and right. Greece had
her Solon, Remits her Caesar, at whos-;
magic touch, order and justice sprang in
to new life, Mediaeral history also pre
sents many such remarkable cases. In
our researches through the pages of his
tory, we find that the greatest mil
itary heroes have not been those who
shed blood for the love of it. AVelling
ton said, "Take my word for it, if you
had seen but one day of war, you would
pray to Almighty God that you might
never nee miiIi a thing iignin."
Our own beloved Chieftain who wmd
hia country so nobly through one yrrat
HtnifRle, and who now lien buried nt
Riverside, prayed for ti'.c. He hi'd
learned that war, cj-pi dally "mil war
leaves nothing but tombs." In timi of
lfui t everyone is happy, bii-incsH pros
pers and every thing g'cs on well, while
in timo of war there is furrow, business
is suspended and a great d-al is lost.
We have been sp. akii.g of pence w ith ic

Brevity, says Worcester, means concise
ness, fchoilucps; that is why I urn elected
to speak on this subject. Knowing that
nnne of iny classmates have very brief
essays and fearing thw condition of tho
temper of this patient audience I natur
ally perf erred something brief.
Brevity was born with language yet
Greece one of the most ancient of coun
tries has some very largo words in its
vocabulary and wmc very terse sayings,
as for instance, when the Persians at the
noted pass of Thermopylal demanded the
amies of the soldiers defending it, they
lacenicly replied conic and take them.
And when Cu'sar was invading Assyria
he so ably won all battles he und utook,
ho s nt the following pointed message to
the Roman senate: "I rauie I s iw, I con
quored." Here in our own country we have tho
niessaet of Couimo.lorc l'erry to the com
manding officer at the battle on lake Eritj
betwwi.'ii the English and American fleets,
"We have met the enemy and they are
ours."
Strange enough we shall find brevity h
paying quantity when we send telegrams
and cablegrams. A very happy illustra
tion of the brevity of wit and the witi
ness of brevity is afforded instance of
a burglary who had gained admission
but. was met by th' proprietor who had

entered our office this morning appear
ing to be in a somewhat -excited coneli
tien as though he had been elosely pur
sued by some unknown persons. Upon
being questioned by us, he explained
that he had not yet fully recoved from
a shock which he had unexpectedly re
ceiveel yesterday at his school room, ex
plaining that he thought he had good,
substantial evidence for a casejof "assault
and battery." To satisfy our curiosity
we endeavored to pry into the nature of
his case, but we could obtain no in for-
mation from him further than that ho
could "picture a frame of guilt" on the
party who had committed the assault
ami battery, and said that hi; inteneled to
push the case to the full extent of tho
law, and in this way prove himself a
"teacher." He extends hi3sincerc thanks
to the teacher of the high school for the
manner in which they conducted them
selves. The life size crayon picture of
his little girl was the causs of the whole
trouble.
Every child will be presented with a
flag with the compliments of J. P. Young
on Decoratiem day, commencing at ten
o'clock a. m. Wednesday mormniug.
