Jacob Lemon, of Greenwood, has
been over in Iowa the past week and re- I
turned yesterday with two span ol asune
horses as we ever saw, one pair are sorrel
and the other a beautiful gray, they are
all three year olds. They were at Jones'
livery barn today and every body that
saw them were heard to say "what beau
ties," "I would like to own one of those
teams." Mr. Lemon is justly proud of
them.
Tomorrow is Decoration Day and
Tnic Herald will decorate and in conse
quence thereof will issue no paper on that
day. This beiug a national holiday and
the boys desiring to show their respect to
the heroes of the civil war are anxious to
join in the work of decorating the graves
of the noble dead. TnE Herald is glad
to give them this opportunity of honor
ing the brave men who gave their lives
, that we, and all might enjoy the precious
privilege of living under a government
of free people. We hope to see every
citizen of the city and country turn out
to the exercises tomorrow and show their
respect for the living and honor to the
dead, by joining the procession that goes
out to decorate the graves.
Last night at the meeting of the
council Mr. Murphy made a motion that
a special committee be appointed to in
vestigate the cost of a lot and building
for a new city hall and immediate action
be taken in this matter of building a
council chamber, hose house and city
jail combined. This motion met with
A hearty approval from every member of
the council and we are glad to see such
earnestness manifested in this nutter.
There is nothing a city the size of Platts
mouth needs more than such a buildipg
and we hope that the matter will be
pushed until a building of this kind is
secured and the city be 6aved of paying
rest for halls and such other expenses as
this would save. The building and
everything complete med not cost over
ten thousand dollars, and this would give
a building which the city need not be
ashamed of. Why not build a city hall

The Prohibition Convention.
The prohibition eonveution which
meets at Indianapolis on tomorrow
promises to be the largest eyer held in
the history of the party. A great many
predictions are being made by the leaders
of that party in regard to the vote that
will be cast in November. Below wc
give some of the facts on which they
base their predictions:
"From 400,000 to half a million votes
is about the figure that, in the opinion of
old veteran campaigers, like Samuel
Dickie of Michigan, chairman of the
national committae, the prohibition ticket
will poll in November. Five thousand
six hundred voters deposited their ballots
for the cold water candidates in 1873
and 9,700 in centennial year. The ticket
of 1880, headed by Neal Dow, received
10,000 yotes in fifteen states, but in 1884
fifteen times that number "were cast in
thirty-four for St. John aud Dauiels.
During the last two years, however, there
hii3 been elections in thirty of these states,
in which state prohibition tickets have
been voted upon and the aggregate of
the votes is 287,000. It is upon these
figures that the prophets of tl-e purty
predict their opinion of what will be
shown net JJoyeniber. There has been
great activity all along the prohibi
tion line for the past year, and especially
in the south, where Sam Small, who is
upon tha pay roll of the national com
mittee, has been working with might and
main to bring local option element into
accord with the national luoremtftt.
As to the political parties from which
the increased strength is to be drawn,
Chairman Dickie says "We w)U make
the largest gains in the north from the
republicans aud in the south fram the
democrats Temperance sentiment in the
states south of the Mason and Dixon's
line of growing and deepening. This is
especially true in Georgia. In the north
our principal support will be drawn
from the republican ranks, a great many
temperance men of that party being dis-
. . . . t - j. . . i , : . :
satisnea wiin its equivocal jjuihuu vu
the temperance question. Iu Michigan,
especially, the republicans will lose
heavily from the fact that they voted
agaiast a constitutional amendment and
passed a local opiion law which has just
been declared unconstitutional,"

Nehawka-
Things look very well here at present.
The corn is all planted and the late rains
are bringing it up nicely.
There was quite a hostile feeling among
the young men last Friday toward a Mr.
Herd Minford, who persuaded Miss Mar
tie Carroll to change her name to Min
ford. Some of the boys say if they had
known Bhe wasn't satisfied with her for
mer name, they would have cheerfully
invited her to assume their's. The trans
fer took place Friday, at 3 o'clock p. m.
May their joys be as deep as the ocean,
their sorrows as light as the foam.
Mr. John Mnrdock has been investing
in sheep ,we believe he has a herd of
two. When he brought them home, one
of his little girls exclaimed: "Oh
ain't they got lots of cotton on them."
We hope he will iacrease his cotton plan
tation as we are fond of the herb.

The Fast Stock Train-
The fast stock train of the R. &.M,
passed through here yesterday, having
made the entire distance of nearly 600
miles in 25 hurs. It must also be
remembered that more than 300 miles of
this road has been in nse less than ne
year, and would of course be in poor
condition to run fast trains over.
