Mr. Mike Connor, who left Platts mouth a short time ago for LTorton to accept a situation at that place appeared not to have been satisfied with the loca tion and has since gone to Omaha. Capt. Palmer is remodeling his store room in the vicinity of the court house on the north side of Main street. Mr. Pickens is extending eyery effort toward making it one of the handsomest reoms in the city. All the young people of the Metho dist church, both ladies and gentlemen, are requested to meet at the church this evening after prayer meeting to make ar rangements for decorating the church next Sunday. Mr. Ed. Morlcy is thoroughly reno vating his barber shop in the basement of Frank Carruth's building. He Ls paper ing, painting and repairing, and when completed his shop will certainly present a very striking appearance. The ladies of the Catholic church will giye a social and ball in Fitzgerald,s hall on Tuesday evening, June 12. Straw ljerries, ice cream and all other luxuries of the season will be served, for which only a moderate price will be charged. Everybody go and have a good time as the ladies are sparing no pains to make the event on enjoyable one to all those who attend. At the meeting of the B. B. associa tion ;ft evening a permanet organiza tion was effected with the following of ficers: Pres. T. P. Livingston, V. P. Hans Goos, Secy. Fred Carruth, Treas. T. II. Pollock, Mgr. T. M. Patterson, Capt. Jas. Patterson Jr., Ass't Capt. M. O'liourkJr. Directors: IL B. Windham, W. S. Wise, Win. Webber, Ed. Fitzger ald. O. P. Smith. The Plattsunouth Bohemian society of this city will hold a picnic next Sun day, June 10, in West Park. A platform has been erected for the purpose of danc ing. A small sum will be rharged to defray the expenses. Everybody is invit ed. West Park is situated near the cor ner of Pleasant and Granite streets, or eighteen blocks west on Main street and two blocks south. --Mr. Daniel Burris, who left the city last Friday for Marysville, Kas., returned this morning. He went thither for the purpose of securing witnesses to prove his right to a pension which he claims for injuries received during the late war. Ills comrades were all pleased to see him again as this was his first trip to his old home since his enlistment,"-and we arc glad to learn of his success. The celebrated male quartette of Chicago, consisting of the Woody Bros., will appear as we mentioned yesterday, in the M. E. church. Please bear this in mind, as this will be a rare opportunity of hearing such music. They corns well recommended, having a reputation which they richly deserve, and one which only a few such clubs hare the satisfaction of retaining wherever they give their con certs. Johnson Bros., of Johnson Bros, hardware store, are building up one entire side of their store with small boxes which are just large enough to hold a sample of all the different articles in their store of no great siz, and on the front of each is attached a sample.- Besides being more conyenient in every way, this scheme will show a great mamy articles people would not think to ask for, and after all we think it a good, paying investment. Mr. Fred Kroehler is building 150 feet of sidewalk in front of his resi dence, corner of Washington Ave. and Oak street, which he claims will be more durable than any other kind. The walk will be six feet wide and made of a com position of brick, iron chins and cement. He will first build a brick walk, after which lie will put on iron chips and ce ment. We believe this would make an excellent walk and one which would prove more durable than, one made of any other material, and considering all, would be very cheap. Yesterday wa neglected to make mention of the party which was held at the residence of Mr. Peter Vallery, on Saturday evening last The occasion was the dedication of a large new barn which Lad recently been erected by that gentle man. Plattsmouth was well represented by both young and pld and a large num ber put in an appearance from the differ ent smaller places in the vicinity, making about one hundred and fifty in all. They all reported having enjoyed themselves immensely, as they were all at liberty to throw themselves in an old time country fandango. A violin and an accordian furnished the music for the occasion, but we did not learn who the expert musi cians were and we were not informed as to the quantity of wax used oa the.barn floor. " Miss Evelyn Wise is reported quite ill, so much so that she has been confined to her bed for a couple of days. Mr. John Ilartigan is reported ser iously ill with a severe attack of iutermit tant fever. We trust he will pull through all right. The funeral service of Mrs. W. W. Cole takes place this afternoon, after the completion of which preparations will be made for the removal of the remains to her old home in New York. They will start on the flyer at 4:20. Mr. Ed. Morley filed a complaint against the Kiddle House baroer shop last eyening for keeping open and work ing on Sunday. The case was to come up this morning before Judge Pottenger at 10 o'clock, but ow ing to the non-appearance of one of the lawyers, was post poned. Mrs. Charles Harasky, of Wintersteen hill, it is reported, has become terribly deranged within the last few days and has suffered the most intense agony ever since. She imagins herself pursued by some one or something constantly, and raves frantically. Dr. Schildknecht is attending her. All the ladies and gentlemen are cordially invited to attend the opening of J. II. Donnelly's stock of gent's, furn ishing goods and hats, which takes place this eyening at his place of business in the Carruth block. No goods sold to night, but all are invited to inspect the finest line ever brought to the city. Mr. Jones has repaired the founda tion of the Anheuser-Busch building since yesterday and claims that there has been no serious injury done to any part worth speaking of. lie said that the only place anything gave way was on an outside row of bricks which was caused by the building settling and which could cause no material injury to the building. Last night about 10 o'clock as an engine in the yards was passing the coal sheds, a coupling pin was thrown through the window of the cab, and the fireman narrowly escaped being struck in the head with it. No further injury was done than breaking the glass. No clue has been obtained as to who the parties were. Dr. T. P. Livingston reports the boy who was so seriously injured last Sunday by a locomotive to be improving today and has some hopes for his recovery. It will be a miracle of course if it should terminate in the boy's favor and if the doctor brings him through all right he will deserve great credit, as it is said he stands about one chance in a hundred for recovery. Mayor Richey said last evening that he had driven over five miles through farming country yesterday afternoon and during his whole journey had not seen one row of grain which came anywhere near being planted in a straight line. As the spring has been so extraordinarily late and a never letting up of rain, the farmers, no doubt, paid little attention to the shape they put their grain in as long as they could get a start of the fre queut showers.

Ritchie and daughter, Miss Jennie Ritchie, took their departure for York, Neb., last Saturday evening where they will visit for a few days. Mr. C. E. Thotnburg, who was at one time of the Bon Ton bakery here, but who is now traveling for the McClurg Cracker and Candy Company, of Council Bluffs, was in the city yesterday accompanied by his wife visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Tartsch.

Ho Dropped ( Over Thirty Feet, Breaking Two of His Ribs Last eyening about 5:30 o'clock a boy about ten years of age named Charley Eaton, son of Mr Frank Eaton, Third street, while playing in the ards oppo site the li. & 31. freight depot, recently purchased by the company, which a short time ago had been used as residence pro perty and had a number of houses on it which the company has recently removed leaving a number of the wells open and without fencing around them, did not notice while in his playing where he was going and fell in one of the wells drop ping a distance of over thirty feet, break ing two of his ribs. Fortunately the well has no water in it to speak of or the boy would surely have drowned, but as it was there was only enough to soften the ground which, no doubt, was the means of saving his life. Some one near by hear ing the boy's screams soon discovered his location, and it wa3 only a short time un til the whole neighborhood learned of the accident. A rope was soon procured and after tying a noose at one end drop ped it to him. The little fellow was pos sessed of considerable nerve, for after the rope reached him he secured it under his arms and was soon lifted to the top. He was asked if he had been badly hurt and replied: " No, not very much, only it is awful hard for me to breathe." Dr. Shipman was summoned and was soon in attendance. He says the boy will be confined to his home for some time although he is not fatally injured. British Hose 15, 20 and 25c at Mayer's Opera House Clothing Store. tf.

It is said that In Paris thousands of women are cutting short their careers by the use of morphine. Morphine disks are dissolved in a small bottle of water, and this is placed in a case which includes a tiny syringe. The whole apparatus is of a miniature description, and can be con veniently carried inside the smallest muff. The vice has become so fashionable that women actually fill their syringes before starting for the theatre, aud thus have the means at their disposal, any moment, of injecting themselves with the drug while lounging in the fauteuils or in their boxes. Science. A Furrow on the Nail. Nearly twenty years ago Dr. Wilka directed attention to the fact that a trans verse furrow appeared on the nails of the hand after a serious illness. Medical literature has since then contained a few references to the subject; he again brought the subject before tho Pathologi col society at its meeting on March 20, and related a remarkable case. In that case the furrow was caused by three days' seasickness. New Orleans Picayune. Protecting Iron from Corrosion. A company organized several years ago for the production of hydrogen by means of passing superheated steam over red hot iron discovered that in this process t he surface of the iron Is affected in such a way as to successfully resist rusting Experimenting further, they claim to have found a method for protecting iron and steel from atmospheric and chemical corro sion.

The new metal turrets with which France has been experimenting have proved unable to stand the new projectiles from modern guns.

Chicago bas a physical peculiarity that radically affects its social condition, and pre vents its becoming homogeneous. It has oue business center and three distinct residence parts, divided by tbo branching river. Com munication between the residence sections has to be made through tho business city, and is further hindered by the bridge cross ings, which causo Irritating delays the greater part of the year. The result is that three villages grew up, now become cities in size, and each with a peculiar cliaracter. The north side was originally the more aris tocratic, and having fewer railways and a less occupied with business lako front, was the most agreeable as a place of residence, always having the drawback of the bridge crossings to the business part. After tho great fire building lots were cheaper there than on tho south 6ide within reasonable distance of the active city. It has grown amazingly, and is beautified by stately houses and fine architec ture, and would probably still be called tho more desirable place of residence. But the south side has two great advantages easy access to the business center and to the great southern parks and pleasure grounds. This latter would decide many to live there. The vast west side, with its lumber yards and factories, its. foreign settlements and its population outnumbering the two other sec tions combined, is practically an unknown region socially to the north side and south side. The causes which produced three villagos surrounding a common business center will continue to operate. The west side will con tinue to expand with cheap, houses, or even elegant residences on the park avenues it is the glory of Chicago that such a large pro portion of its houses are owned by their oc cupants, and that there are few tenement rookeries, and even few gigantic apartment houses over a limitless prairie; tho north side will grow in increasing beauty about Lincoln park; and tho south 6ide will more and more gravitate with imposing houses about the attractive south parka Thus tho two fashionable parts of the city, separated by five, eight and ten miles, will develop a social life of their own, about as distinct as New York and Brooklyn. It remains to be seen which will call the other "Brooklyn." At present these divisions account for much of the disorganization of social life, and pre vent that concentration which seems essen tial to the highest social development Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's Maga eine. Artist Prior' Famous Cartoon. At Tamai, in the Egyptian campaign under Gen. Graham, Mr. Prior came "within an ace" of losing his life. "The gallant Forty second" having been ordered to charge, opened up a gap and advanced in double column. The brunt of the Soudanese attack fell at once on the front of the supporting Sixty-fifth. Prior, who had been hard at work making sketches, was by this change of front left fully exposed to tho enemy's fire, and turned towards the Sixty-fifth. They were already retiring, pressed back by the momentum of the fanatics' charge. This left tho correspondent in the open, and the brown warriors made a rush for him. They camo to within fifteen feet, almost overtaking him. As the foremost Arab launched his spear, it whizzed over Prior's shoulder and transfixed a soldier of tho Sixty-fifth immediately in his front. Prior fell into his proxy's place in the fly ing ranks, and when the rally was made the native assault was easily repulsed. The column was reformed into a long line and in their advance 4,000 Soudanese wero killed and wounded. The rest fled. After the flurry Prior w ent to the scene of the deadliest attack and began sketching this famous battlefield. The flying enemy were out of range and the sand was strewn with savage corpses as he thought. Suddenly he heard a voice from tho rear call out: "Come out of that, Prior; we'vo just had a man killed there 1" He turned. Within eight feet of him writhed the bloody yet still supple form of a wounded Soudanese. There was a gleam of bloodthirstiness in the fallen chiefs eyes and of triumph at the swift vengeance he already counted sure on one at least of the white in vaders. IIi3 stabbing spear, a short, heavy weapon with a broad double edged steel blade and an ironclad butt, was raised in his right hand, ready for the thrust he would iu a mo ment be near enough to make. One look was enough. Prior "came out of that" And then the British soldiers went over the battlefield and shot every one of the wounded, as a means of self protection. Thai scene furnished for The Illustrated News Mr. Prior's famous cartoon . "Killing tho Wounded," which ezcited so much feeling in London that a parliamentary investigation was had into the justification of such "cru elty." John Paul Bocock in New York World. mate Natives of Africa. Most people who have read Rider ITog gard:s tale of the great white race in Africa consider it the purest fiction, but such is not the case. South of Timbuctoo and north of Kong mountains, in the western pari of Africa, live tho Foolahs, the white tribe of the Dark Continent This tribe has good features, a skull modeled like that of a white man, and a complexion about as dark as that of the Italians. They were great slave trad ers In the old days, but they made a specialty of tho finest grades of captives, and but few of their own number wero ever transported. It is said that a shipload of them was once landed on the coast of Louisiana, and that the Creoles, refusing to believe them darkies, set them free and hung the slaves. These Foolahs settled down in the marshes of Southern Louisiana, and after a while be came civilized, and in that part of the state today you will find tall, dark, rather good looking white men who have all the indolence of the black African, who are sometimes as fierce as tb& Arab, and always hospitable and musical. These people are the descendants of the Foolahs, and their Mayflower was a slaver. There are strange people in this great country of ours. Kansas City Star. Chinese Ifree I.ancl. "All the talk about Chinese hospitality on Chinese New Year is a fraud," said an Amer icanized emigrant from tho Flowery King dom. "Peoplo have an idea that every Chinaman who can a Cord it keeps open house at that season, and that every comer is wel come to cat aud drink him out of house and home. 1 saw it even stated that Americans were welcome as well, and that tramps had a regular 'picnic while it lasted, going from store to store and getting their heads full of Chinese whisky. 'It's all nonsense. Even In tho large Chi nese stores in Mott street, whero they give away tho most liquor and s weetmeats, China men are not allowed to jponga on tho house. Tho storekeepers have a very simple way of preventing and keeping bummers in check. The decanter, which is so ostentatiously dis played on the counter, has just enough liquor in it to make a decent showing. When thia is gone a little mora is put in. A bold, scru tinizing eye is kept' oa ' the man who tackles tho sweetmeats. The only thing free to loungers Is watermelon seeds, which cost little." Now York Telegram, Remnant Solo. Remnant Sale !

Waiters in the restaurants, particularly where table d note is served, say thoy can always tell a lady who was reared in the country. Tho lady may have been a New Yorker for a quarter of a century, and the sharp brilliancy of her diamonds and general adornment may convey the idea that she is one of the grand dames of the city, but when 6he gets to her claret it is all up with her. The waiters say that nine out of ten such ladies put sugar iu their claret, and this is supposed to shock a thoroughbred New Yorker. Perhaps the waiters discover her at the start when she tackles the oysters. Many ladies, whose girlhood homes were in the rural districts, insist on using vinegar, pepper and salt in big doses on their oysters, and this also is supposed to be contrary to the Ideas of tho born New It orkers.
