CITY CORDIALS.
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.

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.

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.

Hark, and you will hear how the Q. did
the Brotherhood
Of the engines they loved most dear.

welting across the way.
Some day will ask a scab for a ride,
Then what will the brave scab say?
Are you a B. of L. E., if so, the cross ties
are good.,
I remember the time when I asked for a
lide
From a Brotherhood man; he said to me,
let me see your card.
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.
Now the scabs are both noble and true,
And the time has surely come when they
will ride,
While the dear Brotherhood walk and
sweat in the summer sun.
So take our advice, when you next get a
chance:
Do unto others as you'd have them do
to you.
Take yrjjrip on your back and start
