Wiley Black, who resided in this city for a number of years and who is well and favorably known, died at Dcuver, Wednesday morning, and was buried at that city yesterday. She was 2; years of age. She has only been in Denver for a few months where she went for the purpose of finding relief in her struggle with that terrible disease, con sumption. Her husband, Mr. Wiley Iilack, is the son of Dr. John Iilack, of this city. The following few well selected words, from the Lincoln Journal, can be appropriately dedicated to a member of the Council Bluffs br.se ball team whoso prominently held down third base dur. ing the game here on Wednesday last His talents were forcibly noticeable, and we are willing to i ve a man blessed with such a gift of expression as much of a send-off (which he descryes) as possible: " A man who combines a large mouth with an inordinate supply of lungs i3 to le dreaded." The IIekald doubts if there is a first class engineer in the city (among the strikers) who would be willing to father the foolish "scab poster" which ornaments the bill boards and telehone polls of our city. Such anonymous circulars always injure the parties resorting to that kind of warfare. It lacks that element of courage and good judgment which the Brotherhood cannot afford to disregard in any controversy thev may have and this paper hardly believes it is endorsed by the Brotherhood. The fact exists that the C. B. & Q. trains are running up to schedule time and with over crowded passenger travel, hence such warfare can only injure the Brotherhood. The number who attended Gilmore's entertaininent3 at Omaha yesterday, were highly pleased with the concerts. The Grand 0;era House was crowded, there being nearly four thousand present in the eveniner. The audience became very en- thusiastic over the music, and every solo, either vocal or instrumental, received an encore with rousing applause. The music was arranged to suit all classes. Those who were cultivated to the appreciation of classical music the most difficult had a favorable onnortnnitv of hearing it rendered as it should be, which showed that every member of the band was a thorough artist in his line, while a mini ber of familiar airs were played and sang which drew from the large audience the strongest applause. The soloists deserve special mention, as they were all of the very highest class. The exercises at Bellevuc college yesterday, passed ff very nicely. There were a large number of visitors present, The exercises consisted of music, resita- tions, declamations, essays and original orations. Miss Nellie Lodge, of Bclle vue, took the first prize in music which was a gold medal, and Miss Helen A. Lodge of Bellevue, toot second prize which was a silver medal. Iu recitations Miss E. Mand 31. Leslie, of Omaha, won the gold medal which was first prize, and the second prize, a silver medal, was won by Miss Itoberta S. Brownlee of Atkinson; and James B. Miller, of Julcs burg, Cal., took the first prize in decla mations, and Geomc S. I'awland, of Avoca. second prize. In original ora tions, Thomas J. Nalon, of Bellevue, took first and Harry A. Carnahan of Pawnee City, second prize, these were cold and silver also. While in essays Miss Jessie S. Flynt of Linnens, Mo., and Miss M. Elizabeth Klepser of Bellevue, won, these prizes consist in $10 worth of books, art and music. Those who attended from this city report haying a good time, and that the exercises all around were good and well worth 4he day spent in hearing them. Wo acknowledge-the receipt of a ticket to the Gagu County fair to be held at Beatrice July :j and 4. We have completed arrangements whereby we will print a new piece f music each week in our Weekly Hekald, commencing with June 21. Mr. O. E. Wescott has been making some change in the front of his store within the last few days, and has repair ed and changed ono of the windows so that it will present a much better appear ance. Messers. Rosewater & Christie, of Omaha, who have secured the contract of engineering the sewer work which is to be done in the city, have started men to work already at the rear of Frank Car ruth's jewelry store. Tht Plattsmouth market has been higher for some than at any of the neigh boring cities. Hogs are now selling at five cents per lb. and corn at forty cents a bushel, which makes it about five cents higher than at any of the other markets. Mr. John Iletch, of Omaha, who is connected with a roofing company of that city, and who is here taking charge of the roofing of the Anheuser-Busch building, is reported to be the oldest resident of the State, having emmigrated to it in 1851. All who are intetested in the Fourth of July celebration which is to take place here, are earnestly requested to meet the committee of arrangement at the council chamber tonight at 8 o'clock. Every body who can should be present, as this move should willingly be assisted. The event of the season will be wit nessed in a short time when the lawyers and real estate men of this city meet the doctors and druggists as their opponents on the diamond to settle an old uud long talked of grudge. The real estate men will furnish the ground and the doctors will set all broken bones. It is reported that an old man who was in a hurry to pass a yung man and his young lady friend while they were out driving a few evenings ago got real mad because the yuug man was com pelled to st jp in his way. He was prom ised that he should be allowed room in a short time, but was not satisfied with that and attempted to drive over every thing. He got a "Hull" lot of hard slaps for it and did not like it a bit. A grand time has been reported to us today by the parties who were inter ested in the picnic yesterday which was held at a grove about six miles north of Pacific Junction. lt was under the aus pices f the striking engineers on the oth er side of the river. A large number of the engineers from here were invited. and a number, accompanied by their wives and sweethearts, attended. A gentleman accompanied the party as far as Pacific Junction, and shaking the crowd, had a picnic all alone, for the rest of the day, in the land of nod. The remainder of the Talon estate was disposed of a short time ago on a forced sale. The following gives the full particulars of the sale and the names of the purchasers: The w of block 9, lot 29, the property where Fickler's butcher shop now stand?, sold to Mr. Fred Stadlemann for $1,025; the e same lot, sold to C. J. Martin for $1,090; old Duke residence property, lot 7, sold to J. M. Craig; lot 8, sold to Mrs. Doyle, Talon's sister for $935; lot 9, sold to Miles Morgan for $207. This is a com plete sale of all the old Talon property which has remained unsettled for some time. Sheriff Eikenbary was confronted a few days ago by an important kind f a fellow who made strenuous efforts to pass himself as a detective from Chicago, saying that he had fellowed a man for some time and had just succeded in caj) turing him. He tried to make Mr. Eiken bary believe that he had his man secured somewhere near the city and wanted him to assist h'ni by lending him monpy to take hii man back to Chicago. The sher iff only made a brief reply. Do not know what it was he saH, but whatever, his stay afterwards was about as brief as the reply, and the last seen of him lie was trying to jake up a scheme to make his way easy for his return trip. He has not been seen since, and no accounts have been heard of either him or his prisoner. Last night at the Grand opera house, Omaha, during tha Gilmorc concert, a young lady and gentleman entered and took seats immediately in front of two gentlemen from here, without noticing them, or perhaps never expecting to see any one from this centre of industry. Nothing was said to them by either of the two gentlemen for some time, and they were apparently enjoying the sights to be seen on the stage to their utmost appreciation and content by looking through a pair of opera glasses, until one of the gentlemen of whom we spoke, reached out his hand and exclaimed in a gruff voice: Give me them opera glas ses, please!" The shock struck kind of sudden on the young lady's nerves, caus ing her to exhibit signs of an excited na ture. When she looked around and saw two of her Plattsmouth friends. 6he look ed though she wished to soy, " what are you doing here? " The Printing Contract- " The' city printing matter has at last been settled to the satisfaction of Coun cilman Murphy, if not to that of the dis interested citizens. The statesman named started out with that end in viev, and the writer never had any idea that the other members of the council cared enough about making a fight on his pe culiar hobby to thwart him in his pur pose, and it was only at the earnest en treaties of others that the Journal made any effort to get the work." The nbove squib set in lumber type, appeared in the editorial column of our local contemporary last night. It "sounds to us'' like a usual spurt from the whale when he has the audacity to say that it was just through the entreaty of his friends that he put in a bid against this office. If that be so, the estimate put on the space of his paper must be much lower than at the time he charged the city a dollar a square, which he agreed to allow publication for twenty-five cents, for after his scheme was defeated, he used nearly half a column in giving full expression of his grief so seriously brought upon him by the loss of the printing for the city. We expect he needs it. Hecon- demned Mr. Murphy quite severely in his paper yesterday because he was only do ing his duty to the city as any council man should do. The city has had con siderable experience with Mr. Sherman during the past year, a9 Mr. Murphy knows, and has tried to rob it severel times by not living up to his contract. Iu their publicationof the bid from this office they did not publish it as it was handed in to the city council, and we can prove that, so it is quite evident, if for no other reason than lying, he should be shut out from consideration entirely, for if a man will misrepresent such things to the public, it is equally true that he will swell his bids and misrepresent his work also. Mr. Murphy did only what was right to justify himself when he knew as much as he did of such disgraceful acts on the part of Mr. Sherman. The Herald has always lived up to its agree ments and we defy Sherman or any other man to deny this statement. That is more than he can do and wc can prove it in black and white. The bids from this office was handed in before the termina tion of the time set for receiving it, but Mr. Sherman did not wish to displease himself by so doing and waited until our bid was made public before the council and an agent of his whose ears were tak ing in everything as the clerk read it Mr. Murphy and the other gentlemen only showed their appreciation of honesty by acting as they did.

WAGES in EUROPE. A Short Talk to New York Working Men by the New York Sun. There is only one country in Europe in which the wages of labor are within a half of what they are in this country. That is Great Britian. Wages in Germany, France, Belgium and Swiu-herland are not one third of what they are here. Those of Italy are not one-quarter. One duty of government is to protect the labor of its citizens. Last year cheap foreign labor was imported into the United States in the shape of manufac tured goods to the value of $092,31 G,7C3. This was a great wrong to American la bor. In that immense amount of imports permitted by our insuflicicnt and defec tive tariff, the labor of women employed in the Manchester, Englaud, cotton mi 'Is, whose wages do not average $00 a year, came into competition with the higher priced labor of our southern and north ern cotton spinners, iu that mass of im ports was the labor of German factory workmen averaging less than $115 a year and that of women averaging less than $50 a year. Munich is a gallery and centre of art. Gorman women with as many as six childred saw wood in its streets for 15 cents a day. May a merciful God sink the United States 10,000 feet under the sea before that heinous spectacle shal be come an incident of our civilization! Nearly $700,000,000 worth of the star vation labor of Europe, in the form of manufactured goods, was imported into this country last year. That which came from Belgium iu bales and boxes repre sented the wages of 22 sents a day for women and 43 cents for men, and the highest priced labor in those cargoes of Belgium steel and iron represented wages less than 80 cents per cay. Compared with these the wages of Carnegie's men at Braddock are the incomes of princes. Italian labor, in Italian merchandise, was imported into this country last year, in competition with American labor, at prices that should fill sensitive souls witli horror, and alarm the thoughtful for the future of the human race. The pay in the cotton factories of Naples is 20 cents a day; of Neouolitan marble and granite cutters, from 40 to 50 cents a day, according to skill; of coachmen, 30 cents; of women in lace factories, 10 cents, and girls, 7 cents; of soldiers in the army, $2 a month. Of all the workmen in the glass works of Italy, only the skilful blowers receive as high of $1 a day, and laborers on farms, hoeing or making hay, from 15 to 18 cents a day, working from sun to sun. God save America from such wages ! In the Swiss silk goods which came into our half protected country last year, in those $700,000,000 of imports, was the skilled labor of men at 41 cents a day and of women at 20 cents, both compet ing with the silk weavers of Patterson, New York, Philadelphia and. Cheney. Glasgow, in Scotland, is the steamship factory of the world,and its blast furnace owners and iron rollers howl for free trade day and nighb. Of the families in that manufacturing Sodom 41,000 out of 100,000 live in one room, and half of the men and women in the city are chronic ally ut of work. That one room for a family of father, mother, daughter and sons tells what wages are in Scotland, and how they drag humanity down into bes tality and misery. Brothers? the Mills bill to reduce the tariff is the first step to that one room for an American family. Fight it with out delay and fight to its death; and then make your tariff so protective as to shut out cheap foreign labor in the form of manufactured goods. Friction Increased Electrically. Methods and apparatus have been devised to increase the tractive power of locomotives and other self propelled rail vehicles by in creasinsr. electricallv. the frintinrmi nrthaei between the drivintr wheels and tlm rails It. is claimed that the tractive power can thus i i j i i i ... . . . . do uuwiy uuuuiui wiluoue increasing the weignc or tue locomotive, ana that sleet and snow difficulties will bo overcome. It is also claimed that the friction thus obtained is cheaper than sanding, without its consequent wear. Chicago News. The World' Quinine.
