We are sad to be obliged to chroni
cle the demise of ne of the most highly
respected ladies of our city, Mrs. L. S.
Cole, wife of Mr. W. W. Cole, who died
at 10:45 last evening. She had been
sick for only one week, but duriag that
time suffered intense agony. The cause
of her death was erysipelas with compli
cations. Mrs. Cole was born at Lyons,
Wayne Co., N. Y., and was aged 88
years, 9 months and 10 days. The re
mains will be sent to her old home for
interment, but it has not yet been decid
ed when they will be removed. She
leaves a husband and. two children, one
14, the other 8 years old, to mourn her
loss. We sincerely symathize with the
family in their sad bereavement.
We are sorry to say that the fine large
building which has recently been erected
by the Anheuser-Busch Association of
St Loui3, does not prove to be as genu
ine as it looks from An out side view.
Yesterday sometime the only foundation
under which the forty feet of the front
part rests n by iron pillars which were
to serve as attachments for the main en
trance door, gave way. The brick foun
dation is cracked and the large piece of
iron plate which the step rests on is also
cracked. Experienced men say that the
building is liable to fall at any minute
and soma say they would not work there
for $300 an hour at present Some say
it can be repaired for $50, but we will
consider them experts if they are able to
do it.
On Wednesday evening next the cel
ebrated male quartette of Chicago, con
sisting of the Woody brothers, will ap
pear at the M. E. church. Th's club has
a wide reputation, having traveled from
the eastern to the western extremities of
the country and visited all the principal
cities with great success. They are at
present working under a Chicago bureau
and this week, as they will have two
days to themselves in which they were
not dated by the company, they con
cluded to fill in that time on their own
responsibility and hare selected Platts
mouth as one of the place la which they
intend to hold forth. We are glad to be
afforded this opportunity of hearing good
music and we trust the citizens will take
Mr. Jas. Wcntworth Brown, treasurer
of the Consolidated Water Works Com
pany, of Boston, and Jlr. M. L. Henry,
expert accountant, are in the city audit
ing the company's books and looking
over the property here. These gentlemen
visit Old Orchard, Maine; Bacine, Wis.;
Jnnesvillc, Wis.; Salem, Ohio; Minneap
olis. Kas.; and Helena, Montana, where
the company has property and are mak
ing reports to the headquarters at Boston
as to the successfulaess of the works
at each place, and arranging the books
so that no trouble will be found in keep
ing accounts at each place satisfactory to
the headquarters.
We were shown a pair of overalls in
a ccrtian clothing store the other evening
which, if the cloth was tacked together
in the proper shape, would serve as ma
terial for a half dozen or more suits for
ordinary sized men. The pants measured
over six feet in length and over sixty
inches around the largest part. The pro
prietor was asked if he had ordered them
as a sign for his store. His answer was
strongly " No, such an adyertisement an
that would bo altogether too expensive
for a man with only a retail house to
back it ! Those pants were made to a
special order, a man whom you all know
and I have no deubt but that he is the
only man in the city who can say 'they
are just ray size.' " The chairman of the
board of county commissioners. Ammi
right or Ammi wrong.
We are at a loss to knew what harm
we have ever done to the editor of the
Journal that would call forth such slan
der as he saw fit to publish in his issue
of Saturday. We acknowledge we have
said some pretty hard things but the idea
of spelling his name wrong never even
entered our craraniura, and we cannot
see why the gentleman should wish to
ruin our reputation in such a manner.
But perhaps this may be an error due to
his unsophisticated ignorance and when
he learns his mistake will be willing to
make the correction. But however this
may be we take this opportunity to in
fom his majesty's pure and unadulterated
mind that there is but one of us, and
that our name is always spelled in the
singular and should the gentleman ever
be guilty of such gross misrepresentation
again he will have to suffer the conse
quence of having three letters attached
to his name and be Shermansky the great
advocate, at the ex-confederate X roads.
A matter has recently come to light,
and from such a direct source that doubt
on our part is entirely out of the question
and we feel duty bound through interest
taken in the parties directly interested
and the citizens, to touch the matter
lightly with the promise of a full revela
tion of the act should a similar one be
indulged in again. We learned that sev
eral of the mechanics who are employed
in the brick shop on high school hi:,
formed a delegation and represented
Plattsmouth in Omaha in grand shape
one day last week. They apparently for
got their object in visiting Omaha when
they reached that large city, and after
considerable time was spent in viewing
the grand sights, they finally lost their
way. We do not know what the saloon
keeper did with them, and we are unable
to ascertain from them how they found
their way again and reached Plattsmouth
in safety. We believe they would give
us such information if their memory
could be brought into service. Don't
make such a mistake again or it will go
hard with you. Lathr: At first we
learned through a mistake that the full
delegation had returned, but since we
have been told that the leader of the
party only put in an appearance last
evening. We are not prepared to give
reasons for the delay of this certain one
of the party, but it is supposed that per
son formed an acquaintance with some
of the Omaha police, and was unable to
procure bail.
Of late, Plattsmouth appears to be
infested with a large number of would-
be burglars, and but for the little annoy
ance they furnish the citizens, no harm
has been done. Late Saturday night or
early Sunday morning burglars attempted
to open a safe belonging to Bichard Bil-
stein, proprietor of the Union Meat Mar
ket, and for some reason left their job
unfinished. Several of their tools were
left as they were used in operating. A
tool like an auger was found bored into
the door casing for the purpose of prying
the lock off, but as the window was
found afterwards to be a more conven
ient entrance, only a screen being in their
way, the door was left and the entrance
made through the window. A good
sized hole had been drilled into the door
of the safe near the lock, and there were
signs of powder as though they had at
tempted to blow it open and failed. Mr.
Bilstein has been using his spare time
ever 6ince in trying to gain an entrance
with his old combination, but it don't
work. The drill had penetrated the lock
and injured it in some way so that the
only way to open it will be to continue
in the same style and open it burglar
fashion. 'I he theives must either have
been green at their business and weaken
ed at the critical moment and skipped, or
profesionals who were scared away by
some one. The police have been on the
lookout ever since, but no clue has yet
been obtained, and the would-be burglars
have had good time to make themselves
scarce in this vicinity.
A PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT-
A Boy Is Seriously Injured by an
Engine While Attempting to
Save His Pet Dog.
His Skull Badly Fractured Little
Hopes of His Recovery.
Yesterday morning, as engine No. 138
pulled an extra freight train from the
yards here, a boy about 18 years of age,
named Judd Vance, accompanied by Mr.
George Bachelor and wife, were making
preparations in the vicinity of the Water
Work's engine house for a little sport in
the way of fishing. The boy was not sat
isfied with the location as a fishing quar
ter and requested the rest of the party to
move further up the river to a more fa
vorable spot he knew of, where he thought
there were better chances to secure a good
supply of the finny tribes. . .The boy had
brought his pet dog along to participate
in the sports, and as they were nicely
started on their way up the river the en
gie neared them. Just at that time the
dog jumped on the track, and the boy
fearing he would be crushed by the cn
gine, jumped to his rescue, but did not
succeed in keeping out of the way him
self, and, as he stooped to seize the
dog, he received a terrible blow on the
top of his head, to the right of center
line, from the cross-bar over the cow
catcher, severely crushing his skull in. He
was removed to his home on Billings
avenue, and is still alive although in a
very critical condition. Dr. T. P. Living
ston was soon in attendance and rendered
what assistance was in his power for the
bov's recoverv. The piece of his
skull which the doctor removed
measured 21 by 2i inches. This pioco
was driven in under tho skull. He is
resting a little easier today, but serious
doubts are entetained as to his recovery,
as it is said he stands about one chance
in a hundred.

As our reporter was wending his
way down Main street the other evening,
his attention was attracted by several
loud talkers who were about to risk a
small quantity of "filthy lucre" on their
capability as to lung power by testing
the amount of wind which they each
could utilize on a lung tester which Mr.
Gering had on exhibition in his drug
store- After each had exercised his lungs
to such an extent by a loud flow of elo
quence and were quite sure none could
blow the machine out of gear, each had
his turn. As is invariably the case where
a crowd is seen in trouble on the street, a
couple of politicians were participatin
in the exercises, and from all appearances
were doine excellent work. The demo
crat, being dtfeated in his contest with
the other politician apparently did not
feel the best over the defeat and wishing
to knock his competitor out of the box,
became a little sarcastic over the matter
and expressed himself by saying he al
ways knew the republican to be a good
blower. In reply the republican said
that he had received and accepted in
good part considerable abuse from him
in various ways, but the worst rub against
his grain was occasioned a short time ago
when he handed in his name to the Yonng
Men's Democratic Club, stating that he
wished to become an honorary member.
As the democrat is a much smaller man,
the republican restrained himself consid
erable, but threatens him, if a second of
fense as serious as the first on his good
character ever presents itself, that it will
surely go hard with his opponent, the
democrat.
