Two young gentlemen of this city
who are experts on the tandem, made a
trip to Eight Mile Grove last night after
10 o'clock. It is not reported when the
return trrp was made or what was the
occasion of such a night-hawk expedition.
Three street exhibitiou men possessed
of a harp, violin and flute, rendered some
excellent music for the benefit of the
public last night. They, with the crowd
they entertained, occupied a good por
tion of the street, and played for a
couple of hours.
Mr. and Mrs. Vim, of the Vim com
pany, who remained in the city for the
past few days trying to persuade people
to attend their entertainments and were
unsuccessful, took their departure from
our city this morning for another place
which will probably appreciate their
talents ltetter.
. Nebraska City is somewhat disfigured
but still in the ring. Henry Iluckins, the
editor of the Times, has been horsewhip
ped by a woman. He . is congratulated
upon the fact that he has received the
jeward ho so richly deserved. True
merit always draws a prize of some kind.
Lincoln Journal.
The case which had been brought
against the barbers of the Riddle House
so in 3 time ago for keeping their bar"er
shop open and working on Sunday, and
which had been continued on account of
the disagreement of the jury, was brought
up again yesterday. J udge Sullivan was
for the prosecution and Mr. Geo. Smith,
of Omaha, for the defense. It did not
last as long as the first, and. after it was
submitted to the jury they returned in
about fiye minutes, rendering a verdict
of guilty. They were fined $1 and costs,
the costs amounting to about $75. .
The strikers, who had an eye to bus
iness last night, secured the services of
the three men who were serenading the
business places, and proposo giving a
ball tonight at Fitzgerald's halL A com
mittee of the brotherhood men was ap
pointed for the purpose of selling tickets,
who have been working last night and
today with good success. The music is
good, a large crowd expected and a good
time i cure to be the result. All lovers
of the dance arc certain of a good time
by participating and a large crowd of
their sympathizers should contribute to
their assistance.
The cantata of Queen Esther is be
ing talked of considerable of late in this
city by the musical people. The cantata
of Esther, the beautiful queen, has been
produced in most every city and town of
any note in the country and wherever
witnessed, when rendered by good sing
ers, invariably receives the highest ap
plause and praise. Let some one start,
who would be an efficient teacher, aud
push it forward to a successful .issue.
We feel confident that the musicians of
this city would be willing to participate
in such a move and help it out. The
piece is not a difficult one and with a
little practice and very little expense
could be put on the stage in good style.
If no individual will take hold of it let
some ambitious society secure a teacher,
tut the teacher to work, which would
be a good scheme and which would be a
source ot deriving a good benefit. Wo
fcopc to see a move in this direction, and
tie Hebald will bespeak for it success.
Mr. W. M. Ryan, who id to be super
intendent of the sewer work to be com
menced soon, is making forms and tamp-
ets and getting every thing in readiness
for the work which will be commenced
immediately. lie went to Cedar Creek
today to make arrangements with a com
pany there for some material which ia to
be used.
The esteemed local ed"itor of the
Journal, Mr. John King, while witness
ing a practical game of base ball jester-
day afternoon, and not wishing to allow
the boys to have everything their own
way, secured a ball and attempted to
give them a cricket exhibition. IIo made
some good points, but being out of prac
tico missed a ball which was thrown to
him and let it pass through his hands
and strike him in thj face, changing the
color of his eye.
All men are most heartily invited to
attend the informal song and gospel
meeting of the Young Men's Christian
Association, tomorrow afternooon at 4
w'clock in the T'resbyterian church. Mr.
O. T. Wood will conduct the meeting.
Topic: "Something about the heart."
The association has organized a double
quartet under the direction of Mr. Mutz,
It is to be hoped that this association may
prove to be a great success hereafter, es
pecially in regard to the welfare of the
young men in our town. Every man
stranger or friend, is heartily welcomed.
Two of our Plattsmouth statesmen
Messrs. Sherman and Gcring, not Sherman
and Hiscock, as has been reported, are
engaged in a mission of love, trying to
reform the country. They appear in their
new role at Louisville on the evening of
the 23th. From the bills, we see every
body in favor of a reduction of tariff, or
Cleveland, are invited to lie present. We
bespeak for them a good house, ns in
our opinion, a great many . citizens in
Louisville are in favor of reducing Cleve
land to private ranks, and we don't know
of two better apostles for that purpose
than the above statesmen.
Mr. Daniel Burris has been quite sue
cessful in soliciting for Jedd Vance. The
contributors haye been very liberal, and
he hassucccedcd in securing subscriptions
to the amount of about $100; $44 cash
which has been paid over to the boy's
mother, Mrs. Dickson. Some opposition
has been met in some places on account
of a report which has been circulated
that his parents had considerable money
in the bank before he was injured, but
this has been denied and was proved t o
be false. Mr. Burris wishes to collect
$100 in cash before he stops. The boy
is rational enough at present to thorough
ly appreciate the kindness of his friends
aud occasionally is heard to remark that
some one else may need the money ns
badly as he, and wishes to know the
names of all the frieuds who so kindly
assisted him in this way. Wherever the
the boy was well known, liberal contri
butions were invariably received, and
his chum, John E. Thomson, gave him $2.
A young man of this city p jpularly
known by the name of "Cotton" has made
himself more than prominent during the
strike on account of his striking ability.
Before that time everybody knew him to
be or supposed him to be possessed of a
rather quiet and reserved disposition, but
for some reason we know not, since the
said strike has been in session, the brother
hood have been obliged to watch him day
and night. He apparently believes in
not only being a possessor of such a name
but in having the game as well. He .vas
about to tackle a man the other evening
who had been on the police force for some
time during the trouble, but did not, how
ever, and only abused him vocally. lit
was brought up before Police Judge Clif
ford yesterday afternoon. "Cotton" ap
parently was not satisfied in taking a seat
with the lawyers and the people of tin
court room, but climbed to the front and
occupied a chair beside the judge's with
the anticipation of assuming the name ot
"Judge Cotton" and being lenient with
himself. lie sat on the bench eyeing hit
opponent and the crowd before him, look
ing as though he might be in a deep
study on a speech, which he would soon
present to a jury and thinking up some
points which could only come from a
well cultured intellect. We do not know
who continued the case, but nothing was
done "with it yesterday afternoon aud it
was set for trial next Tuesday. We think
probably "Cotton1 would make an effi
cient judge, judging from his composed
nature and coolness, but we object to him
taking such a position upon himself with
out the vote of the people. We would
inf orai him that the best way to aspire to
that position would be to hand in his
name at next election in the same style
other men anxious to secure such posi
tions do. We do not condemn him for
the act, and believe when his mistake is
made known to him, that he will be per
fectly willing to wait until then at least.
He is popular among the stri king f raters I
ty lor his ability as a rapid speaker and
several speak in his favor as a good man
to argue a case and were surprised that
he should secure the services of an attor
ney. He is a man of deep penetration, ns
he sat down on a drygoods box last night
after the fatigue of his office work yester
day afternoon, striking the ground immediately.
The social which 'was held at the
residence of Mr; W. 8. Wise last night
by the Y. L. R. R. A. was a success finan
cially aud socially. A large number of
young people were present, and as the
evening was beautiful, the lawn in good
condition and well lighted by Chinese
lanterns, refreshments in abundaro and
everybody in cheerful spirits, a good
time was reported by all.
We are obliged, since so much com
plaint has been heard, to draw the atten
tion of the street commissioners to a bad
spot on Sixth street which should be im-
mediately looked after and repaired.
The place is about Thomas' meat market
where scales were located a short time
ago. They haye been removed only a
short time, and the road at that place
has never been in a good condition since.
It should be repaired at once, unless the
blacksmiths buy up the commissioners to
let it alone.
It is again reported that Richard, of
the "Sreight House" is in trouble. This
adparently is more serious than the first,
but he was caught in the same way ns
before asleep. Had it not been for the
watchfulness of his ever faithful cur, he
probably would have been relieved of
some of his earthly possessions. Between
the hours of eleven and twelve last night,
while Richard was respiring away the
time in the arms of Morpheus, yelps from
his ever faithful friend awoke him. For
tunately for him he awoke at the first
sound for he discovered on waking that
burglars were 'attempting to make a way
through the screen doors of the front of
the house. The burglars had broken the
screen making a hole large enough for
the dog to occupy with his nose. As
soon as the dog took that advantage of
the situation and pushed nose through
the door, one of the men seized it in
order to keep him quiet. They soon dis
covered their danger when Richard was
seen approaching, and fled. No clue has
yet been obtained to convict the guilty
parties, but it is thought they are resi
dents of the city and men well acquaint
ed with the surroundings. Mr. Streight
is at present a grass widower, nud our
advice to him would be to send for his
wife to keep him out of trouble. When
she learns of his misfortunes of late, she
mny probably return. We are glad no
serious harm was done him by the bold
night prowlers, but such work is certain
ly an annoyance to a peaceful man.
The boycotting principle is being
carried to such an extent as to appear ri
diculous, by some of the strikers and their
friends. We understand that a demand
was made by them that certain persons
should retire from the. social given by the
ladies of the Christian church the other
evening at Rockwood hall, the matter be
ing carried so far as to send a note to the
objectionable parties over the names of
some of the ladies in charge. This spirit
showed itself again last night where the
same persons, and perhaps others with
them, announced in unbecoming language
their refusal to patronize the sociable
given by the ladies of the reading room
association, because some of those persons
whom they derisively call scabs were pre
sent. It should be distinctly understood
that these social entertainments are of a
public character, and the citizens in gen
eral are invited to attend them, and that
any person who is willing to conduct
himself in harmony with the laws of good
society is welcome to all their priveliges.
They are not given for the benefit of any
particular persons, but for the good of
the cause, or orginization represented.
Under these conditions no respectable
person is excluded from attending and
participating, while on the other hand,
no one is bound by stronger obligations
than their own wishes, to attend. Now
fpr any person, or class of persons to
make either a public, or private demand
for any class to be excluded is carrying
matters too far and asking for what they
have no right to claim, and what the
good sense of an American organization
will ever give. What can be merclis
gustiug to candid people than such acts,
what more clearly exhibit the spirit by
which those are actuated who make such
demands, and what prove more a elead
weight to the cause in which they are ask
ing for public sympathy and public fa
vor. Can it be that these individuals re
present the spirit of the brotherhood
with which they are connected? If so the
sooner the whole thing is frowned upon
: nd relegated to the shades of oblivion,
the better for every body concerned.
