Mr. Frank Cranmcr is able to be around again after a slight attack ef sun stroke, winch lie received last Sunday. A gentleman of our acquaintance wast asked last evening by his wife, what he wanted for auppor. His reply was, "just a common every day 6iipper, only give me more supper." He is more easily satisfied than some of the Smith family. The fair given at Fitsgerald's hall last night wan a success socially and financially. Not so many were present, probably, as there would hayo been, had the evening beea cooler, but as it was, all present seemed t thoroughly enjoy themselves. - Matilda Fletcher lectured last even ing at llot-kwood hall to rather a small house. All present seemed to thoroughly appreciate her speaking and became quite enthusiastic at times, Her subject was, "The way of the World," in which she made many good hits. If the evening had been more agreeable, she would pro bably haye been greeted by a large audi ence. 8he left this morning for Pes Moines, via Omaha, where sh will take a vacation for some weeks. A surprisa party was given Miss Xota Kikenburv last night by a number of young people from here and the sur rounding country. Miss Xota is a daugh ter of Mr. Henry Eikenbary, whose farm is about three miles southwest of the city. A very enjoyable evening is reported, and the party did not break up uptil the small hours this morning. DanciLg was the main amusement of the evening. About eight couples were present from here, who had hard work fighting the elements on their return. The Bohemian band gave the city coon serenade this moraing. the music was very nice and gave the people a hint that a good time was in store for them if they would only join the merry throng aud give up their tedious labors for a halfjday. A large number went out to the fair rounds this attcrnoon to take in the picnic and sec the ball game between the Council Bluffs nine and the Plattsmouth bys. Each team feels confident of a sure thing, and it is expected that a good game will be the result. A full report of the game will be given in tomorrow's iesue. Mr. C. S. King, editor of the Utah Daily Union called on us this morning. 3Ir. King and O. J. Pettee, formerly of this otlice and city, are proprietors of the Utah Daily Union and the Sunday Utah Times at Ogden. lie reports that they are doing nicely. Mr. King is travel ing with a handsome car gotten up in Salt Lake City to advertise that city and Utah. This car is furnished very hand somely both inside and outside, and car ries a sample of all the products and man ufactured articles of Utah, and Mr. King represents the citv of Ogden. lie left this morning for Cincinnati. We hear some representative citizens talking of improving the county square in this city. One says build a city hall and court house to cost, say $25,000, and thinks the amount could be had by priyate subscription; another says yes. who shall we go to and what steps shall we take to get the city hall and court house started. The property owners of that part of the city are improving their property, new homes are going up and they begin to think the county Square should be improved. Citizens come to the front and let m have a city hall and court house, and thereby have a more secure hold on the county scat. We are sorry to learn that it is the intention of Mr. M. A. Hartigan to move his family from Plattsmouth and ,'go to Hastings. They have built themselves a reputation which no one need be ashamed of, and they have endeared themselves to all with whom they have had an ac ouaintance. The citizens here, all of them, regret to see them make such move, and feel sorry to think they could not be contented in this thriving little city of ours. But as it is their intention to go, and all arrangements have been made for their departure soon, we wou!d ask them to kindly remember their old home, where people live who have hearts ever opea to receive them, should tliey ever bo discontented anywhera else and wish to return to old Plattsmouth. Our best wishes go with them and may sue cess ever be within their reach. Instructions. Any person, young or old, desiring to receive instructions both in the English and German languages, are requested to call at the west 4th ward school house or at the residence, back of the German Presbyterian church, on high school hill. Honrs at school 9 a.m. to la m. and from 2 to 3:30 p. ni. At the residence from 7 to S p. va. Terms, $1 per month. jl2wl J. it ittc, 4 eacner. A CAY DECEIVER'S PLEDGE. Charles Olsen Skipped Witnln.a Half Hour After Being Wedded. The bastardy case brought up against Charles Olsen commenced before Judge Stiles May the 2"Hh, culminating JJune 0th by the parties appearing before his honor, L. C. Stiles, Esq., with license in had and asking to be joined in wedlock. The ceremony was performed in the Judge's latest and most approyed Style, in the presence of several ladies and gen tlemen, and the bride and groom depart ed seemingly happy. But alas ! the de ception of unkind and unfcaling mortals cannot alwaws be accounted for. No sooner had the wedded pair left the sanctimonious bar of justice than the hard-hearted groom tore himself away from her whom he had first allured aud ruined, and that two after only a half hour before he had solemnly promised, in the presence of a brother, friends and witnesses, to take her for his lawful, wedded wife, to love, cherish, protect and care for her in sickness and in health, as Ion? as thev both should live. The perfidy of a gay deceiver, a rakish, rap ish, lustful, carnal wretch, one whose heart is hardened against his Creator and his brother man, should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and he be kept within the prison walls until his heart is softened and his carnal natuie properly subdued. It is a sad thought for the rising generation of girls to pon der upon. Look out for the silver- tongued gay deceiver. Drowning Accident. Greenwood, June 13. Special to the Herald. Ye-terday afternoon about 2:30, a very sad drowning accident oc curred at this place. A young man by the name of Henry Ewing had gone in swimming in Salt Creek, about one-half mile west the of town and was drowned He is reported as being a very indus trious and congenial sort of a young man and much respected by all who knew him. His many friends were horror stricken when they heard of his terribly sad fate and the whole community is very much grieved over the sad affair. Not being personally acquaintey with him, we can not give as good au account of his good acts and speak as well of him in a good many ways as we otherwise would do, but from what we have henrd of the young man, we are prompted to speak very highly in his favor. His body was found at 5:45 yesterday evening. lie came from Illinois last spring, and has, since that time, been running a billiard room here. He was 22 years of age. County Seat Question. The untcritied Weeping Water anarch ists are again urging the question of the county 6eat removal. They have we un derstand, already commenced to get up their petition to present to the commis sioners, in order to get it on wheels; and then will come the election, and it will tak two thirds of the voters of Cass county in favor of the same to remove it Our poor deluded brethern of the village forget that Plattsmouth City proper polls one forth of the entire vote of the coun ty, and with the other help the city can secure, the moyement, as all others have, will fall to the ground a failure. PERSONALS. Mr. Allen Bceson returned from Beit rice last night. J. B. Strode, f Lincoln, was in the city yesterday on business. Mr. George Smith, of Omaha, was in the city yesterday on business. Mr. J. C. Peltier, engineer of Wymore, was in the city today and made us a pleasant call. Miss Blanche Feight, of Omaha, came to the city this morning as a guest of Mis-es Maud and Mimmie McCoy. Mrs. M. Null, of Three Rivers, Mich., came to the city this morning on a visit to her brother, Mr. Wm. Alexander. Mrs. Win. Morrow, a resident of the west part of Iowa, came to the city yes terday. She will visit her parents, who liye eight miles south ef the city. Misses Burgess and Palmer, two popu lar young ladies of this city who have been attending school at Omaha, return ed home yesterday to spend their summer vacation here. Mr. Baird, pastor ef the Presbyterian church here, left this morning for Omaha to attend a meeting of the Board of Belle vue College. That college will hold their commencement exercises tomorrow. Mr. Geo. II. Palmer, who was elected to represent the sons of veterans of this post, took his departure for Tecumseh, today, where lie goes to attend a general meeting which will be in session three days. Mr. John Marshall, who left this office a short time ago with the intention of residing in Council Bluffs, returned to the city last night, aud again accepts a position here. We are glad to have him come back again, and believe he feels a little attached to Plattsmouth after all. The only paints in the market that are guaranted are at Will J. Warrick's, they are strictly pure and guaranted to give satisfaction. d-w-lw. The Collapse ef the Morning Mall. The time the old Horning Mail went to the wall, wc think it was some time in January, 188G, it was a cold winter's night, the air was full of enow, when the climax was reached. Mr. W. L. Brown was then proprietor of the paper with Joe Fairfield as managing editor in charge. Mr. Brown had come down from Lincoln where he' had removed. lie came down on the evening train, and was met by Mr. Fairfield who, in his usual blank manner, says, " Brown, them fellers haye quit werk again." Says Brown, '"What is the matter is there no copy on the hook?" "Matter! h 1," says Joe, "the hook is full of matter the Matter is the d d fools have struck, and wont work any longer without money, and I can't make collections enough to pay them or my self." And so, that winter's night, an other bright light went out, never to brighten the pathway of republicanism again. The above shaws conclusively that the only way a newspaper can be run success fully, is for the patrons to pay up, and we give this as a gentle hint to those who are in our debt. Fire Department. The Plattsmouth fire departpment met last night in regular meeting. Albert Noble and Charles Wheeler were propos ed for membership, and the usual com mittee was appointed to examine into the qualification of the candidates for membership. The matter of sending two candidates to the Clinton, Iowa, tournament, was discussed, but the department concluded not to send any one this year. Tne sec retary, H. C. Ritchie, was instructed to notify all delinquents in the sale of tick ets for the last annual bill to call on him and settle up, and also one or two who were short last year. On motion it was ordered that the president appoint a committee of five from the department to act in conjunc tion with a like committee of citizens to get up a rousing Fourth of July celebra tion picnic etc. The committee consisted of S. C. Green, T. S. Clifford, Geo. Pois all, D. M. Jones and L. Itcinackcl. The meeting then adjourned. "That Damned Creen Flag Again-" Mount Veknox, N. Y. Editor Irish World: A great deal of surprise has been expressed by some persons at Mayor Hewitt's action in refusing to allow the Irish flag to be raised over the city hall on St. Patrick's Day. To me it seemed consistent and Mhat should have been expected. Does he not belong to the same party and express the same sentiments as the Colonel of the rebel regiment at Aniietam who, on seeing the Irish Brigade advanc ing to charge his works (the sunken road) the third time made use of the now fam ous expression, "Boys, here comes that damned Green flag again !" It was gall and wormwood to them; it is the same to our (ig)noble Mayor. Yours for the old flag. "Antietam." This is the same old Aug, interwoven with the red, white and blue, which will charge the same old Democratic enemy again in November; and no matter who our leader is whether he be Blaine, Gresham, Sherman or Allison the same "Damned Green Flag" may worry the Democratic party and win the day. Louisville. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stevens droye to Plattsmouth Sunday. J. B. Yates and IJ. P. Loucks were at Ashland last Thursday. Miss Mary DeWittt returned from her yisit at Ashland Thursday. 3Irs.

I said that I had none, and he replied, I can't carry you, it would not do, As the rules of the company are strong.
