"We thank the citizens who so kindly donated yesterday and in that way assist ed us in securing the dispatches from the Chicago convention. They can be seen .on the bulletin board in front of M. B, Murphy's store as soon as received by u?. Mr. Henry Weckbach returned from his trip east. He spent a few days at Chicago, Milwaukee and other eastern cities. He thinks there is no use in re maming in Chicago now if you only go there with the intentiou of seeing the convention. It is reported that seats arc selling as high as one hundred dollars each, and that would be too rich for Plattsmouth blood. The following few well selected words appeared today in the Union cor respondence, which strongly encourage us in our strenuous efforts to make TnE Herald a cood live newspaper. We arc receiving new subscribers every day, and with such brightened hopos of pros pcrity in every way we will put forth extra efforts to make the paper one of interest to all, and one that will soon find its way to every house and be read by all : "We are in search of a newspa paper. We like Tiie Helald. Can't ye ed'tors start a branch printing house here r Mr. Joe McVey has recently purchas ed an instrument which has never been introduced to the city before and which has created considerable excitement among men who are interested in novel ties. It is called a "sausage grinder talk a phone." The manipulation of the strange instrument is quite different from any thing we have seen and is ceitainly worthy of due consideration and thor ough investigation by those who may have use for such a machine. A column might be used in giving a full - descrip tion, but as we are crowded for space to day, further details will be omitted, but wo earnestly request all to examine it, Mrs. Florence Keesler, who has for the last two vears been fllicted with con sumption, died lsst night about 11:20 o'clock. Although she has not been cn joying good health for that lenght of time, yet she did not subdue herself un til ju3t a short time ago to the disease which at last conquered her. She was married to Mr. Keesler last August and is only a young woman of about 19 years of age. The funeral will take place to morrow morning from her husband's res idence, Vallery place, situated at the end of the street car line. Friends and ac quaintances are cordially invited to at tend. She will be buried at the Oak Hill cemetery. "The performance at the opera house last night by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vim was witnessed by a fair sized audience notwithstanding the terrible heat. It was greatly enjoyed by all was e:isily to be seen by the frequent round of applause they got. It is the most interesting en- tertainmct as well as being very funny, Mr. and Mrs. Vim are truly great artists and their talent is well appreciated by the people of Nebraska City as will bt seen by the crowd we know they will have at the opera house tonight. We advise everyone to go and see these great attists to night. It is a spendid enter tainmsnt." Nebraska City Times. A per formance will be given at the Waterman op'era house this evening by Mr. and Mrs, Harry Viin. The notice for their enter tainment has been very short owing to the misunderstanding about their adver tising. Mrs. Vim has acquired a wide reputation as a mind reader and has re cently creatcdjconsiderable excitement in the largest cities. Wherever performances have been given by them, a strong rccom Herniation follows them through the press. The city has not had an evening's entertainment for some time, and as this is coining along about the right time and t oiuing In contact with no other amuse ii lit, a full house should be the result. An Outside Opinion. A quarter column squib appeared in our bister ink fiend last night which was enti tled an outside opinion. It certainly was an outside opinion, or we have not much respect for a head that would contain such a chunk of fool beef as to display, as much ignorance. No doubt the auth or of the squib desired a little cheap notoriety by pondering a whole week probably in order to get his beef head to grasp what he had the gall to call an opinion, for the purpose of aspiring to editorship of the Journal during the campaign. We are quite sure he was in a sad condition of helplessness when he dropped his signature on the bottom of such a display of ignorance. He made a good display, and certainly showed that he know nothing of what he was writing about. He made every effort his poor cranium was capable of tackling and tried to show Mr. Murphy up because he helped secure the printing for this office. Mr. M. was not the only man, as he stated, and if a thick skull could admit any reason, there might be a chance for such a man as Maguire, but as he is in such a sad plight, we expect nothing niore of him. Perhaps we are foolish for using as much space over such a piece of worth lessncss. If fiK-U a man as Maguire Would know what people require lie would certainly close up hid trap And eave himself many a tap. A Meeting of Seven Men. Ckdak Creek, Neb., June 18. A dem oeratic meeting was held here tonight at Sayles hall. Three speakers came out from Plattsmouth, C. W. Sherman, editor of the Journal, Hon J. C. Gilmore and Matthew Gering. After trying until ten o'clock they managed to get seven men t.ndfour boys together. Gering addressed the audience for about thirty minutes and then adjourned the meeting for one week to see if they could not get enough people together to elect officers for a permanent organization at this point. liee. The enthusiastic workers of the O. D. party here in Plattsmouth do not seem to be having much success in organizing dem oeratic clubs throughout Cass county. Possibly the Cedar Creekites knew the delegation that was sent out from Platts mouth and as soon as they found Sher man was to orate took to their holes or tall timber. We don't blame you boys you haye our sympathy on this occasion, we would have dane likewise. Death of An Old Citizen. Mixatake, June 1C, 18S8. John H. Hilbert dropped dead without a moments warning on the 12th inst., cicht miles above r t. Laramie. A mes senger was dispatched to this place im mediately to his family, and his wife went to the Ft. whero the remains were taken. Mr. Hilbert was an old citizen of Plattsmouth, he removed to this place two years ago from there, to prepare for himself and family a home, and has pro cured a lovely tract of land and was fast improving it; but right in the midst of his labor of love he was called to lay down his burden. He leaves a widow and five children to. mourn his lo3s. Journal please copy.) S. J. F. The party given last evening by Miss Ilattie Latham in honor of Dr. F. D. and Miss Lulu L.

He asked for a western location and thinks he will be stationed in Idaho. He is a son of Rev. Burgess of the Episcopal church here, and is well and favorably known by many of the Plattsmouth citi zens. We are all highly pleased to learn of his success so soon after staring out on his professional tour, and wish him heart ily every success. An old gentleman made a speech to day of only a few words, but as we thought they were well chosen and struck the point exactly, we take great interest in giving them here. As is the case and has been for a number of days of late where men are in controversy, the coming election was the topic. The gen tleman said: "The people who uphold de mocracy must have extremly short memo ries or be possessed of considerable bold ness." More onllt'hteiijneiit we can see. As the IlKAK bulletins roll in. And the preident, a republican will be, fur to other kind i worth a pin. PERSONALS. lit. Bert Wheeler, of Omaha, is in the city visiting his friend, Mr. Byron Drew.

Sherman's liking for ci reuse and spectacles la well known. When Buffalo Bill was at Erastina and Madison Square garden before be went to Europe, the jjeneral was frequently present, lie was talking about Buffalo Bill a day or two ago In this way: "Buffalo Bill's show is the most wonder ful thing In the way of disclosing to the people how all the great western country has been settled that it would be possible to present. It Is marvelous bow he has been able to repre sent the primeval forest, with the wild ani mals, tbe wagon trains and the camps, the settlements and the fights with the Indians, prairie fires and all that sort of thing. 1 watched him as be rode up in advance of the wagon train and found the spring, and where be stooped down .id took the water up with his hat and hanced up a hatful to his horse. "It reminded me of many a similar scene which I have witnessed. I remember Just such a tspring away up on the North Platte river, and 1 have seen many a man water his horse or his mule at just such a spring. The water is generally deep down in the surface of the ground In a fissure, where It would be impossible for tbe animal to reach it. When Buffalo Bill jumps on his horse and swings his bat for the wagon train to come on, it u the most natural thing in the world." 2ew York Tribune. The Nicaragua Canal. Accounts from the Nicaragua canal expedition report that the hydrographic corps have already begun their labors at the west 6ido of Lake Nicaragua. Two routes aro suggested from the lake to the sea, on tho eastern 6ide, which diverge at a point about twenty-five miles from the lake, one route being through the rock and difficult in its engineering, but seven miles shorter than tho easier lino which runs below. A thorough explo ration to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the two routes will be made. Tho adventures of that noted explorer, Alan Quatermain, are recalled by some descriptions, reported by correspondents accompanying the expedition, of a tribe of white Indians dwelling at the head waters of the Rio Frio, and of the sharks which infest the waters of Lake Nica ragua a singular factl This inland lake on the table land overlooking the Pacific lessens the necessary distance of canal excavation by nearly fifty miles, and it is to be hoped that the sharks will be ex terminated or disappear when tho canal is completed; but perhaps lako water sharks are not as voracious as the sea faring monsters of the same family. Demorest's Monthly. Bent whalebones can be restored and used again by simply soaking in water a few hours and then drying them. .

It is now well known that most diseases are due, not to over-abundance,, but to impurity, of the Blood ; and it is equally well attested that no blood medicine is so efficacious as Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. " One of my children had a large sore break out on the leg. We applied simple remedies, for a while, thinking the sore would shortly heal. Hut it grew worse. We sought medical advice, and were told that an alterative medicine was necessary. Ayer's Sarsaparilla being Recommended above all others, we used it with mar velous results. The sore healed and health and strength rapidly returned." J. J. Armstrong, Weimar, Texas. "I find Ayer's Sarsaparilla to be an admirable remedy for the cure of blood diseases.
