CITY CORDIALS.
The Clippers, the juvenile huso hall
team of this city, left thia morning for
Afton, la., where they will ilay a club
of that city tomorrow.
Leap year enticements are offered at
a corner grocery in the way of lunches.
For further information ask the repot ter
ns he has had experience.
--Mihh Lou Simpson entertained about
twenty of her young friends at her home
last evening. The- party did not dis
peine unil a late hour and all reported
having thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
John Kennedy, who had been up be
fore Judge Clifford some time ago, and
whose case was continued until yesterday,
was fined $ and costs, amounting to
over $20 in all. Mr. Stephen Kuzzell
riled a complaint against him, the charge
hcinif that of insult. The caso will be
appealed to the district court.
As all the employes of this olKce are
anxious to participate in and enjoy the
privileges of the Fourth, The Hekauj
will not be issued tomorrow. A full re
port of the different amusements will
appear in the paper the day following.
We have now a special artist at work
and in that issue illustrations of some of
the principal attractions will appear.
Since a few lines of poetry appeared
in this piper last Sittirday signed Li Hit?
S., it is surprising to know the number
of impiiries made as to who the young
lady is that wrote the piece. Judging
Jy the tone of the few lines, she wanted
a lover, and would have one under any
consideration. Now, as we are as igno
rant as anybody, since only the lirst name
and initial letter of the last appeared,
t lie young lady would ito well to send in
her whole name to us privately and we
will do what we ran for her. If she
wishes a lover, we will advertise for one
ftnd no one need be any the wiser except
ing parties directly interested. At there
are so many young men anxious to know
who the young lady is, there is no need
to complain of loneliness, and we would
be pleased to hear from her, promising to
help her all we can.
An exhibition was afforded a num
ber of citizens last night while the mem
bers of a hose team were practicing and
making preparation for the great cele
bration which is to take place tomorrow.
They were practicing, making runs and
coupling to a hyilrant on the corner of
7th and Oak streets. Everything moved
along smoothly and all the runs were
made m good time until the appearance
of Hco. Wcidmau, w ho has considerable
confidence in himself as an athlete and a
fast man. Messrs. Skinner, Kildow and
C'laus Urekenfeld, the fat man of the par
ty, were moving around with the elasti
city of cats, and making great exhibition
of themselves as experts. Although Chius
is a fat man and he has now reached the age
when men act a little subdued on account
of rheumatism and various other com
plaints, he came to the front in fine style.
Mr. Weielman, when he came along w ish
ed to make a run for the hydrant, and all
were apparently agreeable. After they
started he became somewhat ilisappoint
cd in himself and was only coming in on
the home stretch when the connection
was made. They made good use of their
time and threw the water iu the direction
lie was coming. He surprised himself
and the whole party on the return trip he
made, even leaving the wat.r bcliintl
which was thrown at him.
The weeds growing on the different
streets have reached such a elegree of prom
inence that wc feci obliged to mention
the fact. For what purpose they are
nourished and cared for, wc know not,
all wc know is that they will soon be riv
als of the trees by which they grow il
they are left to themselves much longer.
Where can another city be found that
boasts so much of her weeds? Wc are
cure Plattsmouth has no rival. How
beautiful they look in their prominence
and grandeur. In the early morning the
birds can be heard singing iu the tops of
them high in the air. Since they hav
grown to such a size it would certainly
lj a shame to chop them down. Any
way it would cost the city too much now
as a man might find a day's work if he
tackled four or rive. As they are numer
ous now it would not be we-11 to set men
to work with their axes as a few mouths
more will briug the winter around again
and they will die then, and the work
would not be completed lefore that time.
Why is it that other cities do not take as
much pleasure in such a beautiful pro
duct? Nearly all of them have men em
ployed in mowing them before they reach
as extensive a growth. They are then
cut at a small expense. We don't see
why other places are not up with the style.
We would invite any parties wishing to
make a purchase of the seed of 'ich a
growth to visit the city, as they ca;x be
furnished with an abundance and al a
yery moderate rate.
The fare for the round trip to Omaha
today anil tomorrow has been reduceel to
05 cents.
Last Sunday afternotn Mr. Vanatta
was afforded a scare which worked up
his nerves and set him to thinking as he
never did before, by a noise coming from
the well at the west end of the house.
Their apparatus for elrawing water is
similar to most of them iu Plattsmouth,
a bucket attached to each end of a long
rope, the rope running through a pulley
at the top. lie was sitting on the varan-
dah, a short elistance away, and his atten
tion was suddenly attracteel to the rope
running through the pulley and one of the
buckets dropping as rapidly as though
some person or heavy weight accompani
ed it. It is not necessary to say how
Imdly the family was scared and that the
first thing done was to look for all the
children. They were not all present and
the first thought that came to all was
that one had fallen in the well. Neigh
bors noticing such excitement and all
gathering hastily around the well, sup
posed of course that a terrible accident
had happened, and in less time than it
takes to write it, a large crowd had as
sembled anxious to render whatever as
sistance might be necessary. As the
bucket dropped into the water and dis
turbed it, it gava it every appearance of
being moved by the struggles of some
one. As everything happened which
would lead anyone to believe that a child
had droppeel into the well, a elistance of
sixty feet, with no means of reaching it
except by the rope to which the buckets
were attached, the most intense excite
ment prevaili-d, anil for a long time the
crowd was at a loss to know what to elo
in such a case. The well was examined,
however, by some means, but no trace of
any human being could ba found. No
one can imagine what causeil the bucket
to drop and the rope to run through the
pulley with such great rapidity. It is a
great mystery, as the rope will not run
unless pulled strongly for it had often
been tried before and was tried j-hortly
after the scare, but pulled as hard as ever
before. They were all well satisfied to be
contented with such a se:ire although it
was not by any means one of the pleas
antest. Our reporter heard Mr. Vanatta
relating the story yesterday afternoon to
teveral of his friends with a pleasant
smile, but when he noticed after he had
given the whole thing away that it was
on a fair road to a newspaper, he changed
his expression, saying that Ite did not
wish it published. The story is too good
to keep and we trust that gentleman will
smile off whatever anger may arise after
he notices the publication. If he knew
how hard a news item was to scare up in
this city, he would willingly allow it
to pass and furnish another item by buj'-
ing the cigars.

The Fourth of July.
The grand old Fourth of July which
marks tho birth of this great nation is on
the brink of its arrival and is awaited by
the many millions who bear the brightest
smiles as a greeting. How many loyal
citizens are looking into the future only
a few hours and contemplating what a
day may bring forth! The children who
play on our streets and are unable to
pronouce tho word distinctly arc all
aware of its coming and on account, are
possessed of bright spirits and are looking
tojthc morrow with the grandest expecta
tions. When people more adyauceel in
years hear the urchin's song of the corn
in" Fourth, it thrills them through and
through as the thought comes to them:
"I remember the time when I was a child
and felt as jubilant over its coming.
When I saved up my nickels which were
to be spent for fire-crackers, and took the
stride of the bravest soldier when the
pride of my nature would rise." Al
though they do not fully comprehend
the event, yet it is looked forward to by
all of them in a way which lightens the
hearts of their seniors.
Let us all greet this event which is so
near with our greatest energies for a elay
of rejoicing aurt altogether make it so
superior to any of the past that it may
be remembered far in the elistaut future
as the grand old Fourth ot 1888.
When we think of our brave fathers
who have fought and elied for us, if for
no other reason than that we should hold
the elay as sacred to their memory.
Plattsmouth has come to the front
again with great preparations and antici
pations for the coming day, and the pro
gramme can be seen in another column
on this page. The firemen have worked
hard, all of them, for this celebration,
without anv recomneuse other than the
expecteel appreciation of the citizens,
Let all come forward and pay them for
their work in - this way,
The base ball club has secured the ser
vices of the Lincoln team, the best ama
teur club of that city, and it is expected
a good game will be played. The Platts
mouth club has erected a good grand
stand and covereel it so that parties who
were obliged to stand in the sun at pre
vious games and found fault with their
disagreeable position, will have no
chance for complaint now. All go and
see the game.
A large number of invitations have
also been sent out for picnics. We are
not certain how many picnics there will
be tomorrow but we have learned that
there will be three or four private ones
Judging by what preparations have
been made so far, all tan find amusement
enough at home to hoiet them, so we
trust not many will go away to other
towns.
