The funeral touk place this morning about ten o'clock. C. IS. Alverson, who fell from a third story window of the CJoos house last Wednesday uiirht. is reported by his physician to he rapidly improving. The members of the IJepublicaii Glee club who are to take part in the singin at the banquet on the 12th, will meet to night at Skinner Jc Jiitchie's ollicu for practice. The first anniversary and celebration of a new flag which is valued at $17.i. will beheld at Degindorfcr's Park July l")th. The Omaha Turners Society and the different German societies ot this city will participate in the celebration Ilev. W. B. Alexander and his two little fdrls left this morning for Mil ford, where they will visit until Sunday, after which I hey will fpend a few days at Crete. On account of his absence there will be no. hit vice at the Methodist church net Sunday. An employe of the IJ. & M. who has a run on the veiling express going through here to Omaha, stepped from the tr.iin l.i-t night when in motion and sprained his ankle severely, lie was car ried to Dr. Livingston's ollice where the injured limb was attended to. Tho local editor of the Journal drew the attention of the public to the fact, a few days ago, that the city coun cil f Nebraska City had passed an ordi nance naming their streets, starting from the distillery. It is supposed the local man caught on to the item while at the starting point. A piano and rccd instrument com bined, which is operated in the same style as a grind organ, was heard in the city yesterday. It was manufactured in iSermany at the cost of about $000 and resembles in tone the pianos beard here every day but is a little louder. The in strument will play sixteen pieces, and the music is very fiue. -The F. E. White boe team is mak ing preparations for a dance which they intend holding on the old fair grounds. The dance platform which has recently been erected will be used for that event. ;uid as it is made substantial and with a ;;ood floor, it will be a splendid place for some of the young people who are lovers of the dance. Mr. Win. Neville ha again suffered the ltx of a valuable horse which he val ued at about .2j0. Yesterday the animal bad been worked very hard on the sewer work, getting over I-eatcd. The heat caused lock-jaw and brought on several complaints in such short notice that the animal could not survive and died hist night after every attempt possible was made to save it. Miss Grace Ferguson had an oppera tion performed yesterday which proved to be very painful. For some time she has suffered continually with a corn on one of her toes and which every few days would .break, causing her the moti intense ngo ny until yesterday she could not stand i longer ami summonded courage enough to have the tc amputated. She is now conidering which caused the most pain. I he corn or the amputation. Mr. C. T. Franz, a young gentleman who lias been employed at the shops here as a mechanic for eome time, received very sad and startliug news from his home at Oskaloosa, that his father had been killed while at work erecting n building in that city. The message :ir rived here yesterday i;orning and was riot received by him until last "light, hav ig remained in the telegraph oitu.c all day, the message boys not being utile to ascertain his whereabouts. Such news was a great surprise to him as he said his father had always been vervjarcful when at work, and that he never thought he would meet his death in that way. Such ner is enough to break the ftrongcst heart and esjccially when it comes upon one without warning. The Ninth Annual Institute of Cass County will be held in the school build i.ig at Louisville, commencing July 2-kl. mi J continuing until August 4 th. It is expected that all the teachers who intend to teach in this county the ensuing year will be present during the session. The Institute will be divided into two sections and will cover those branches required for second and third grade certificates. Those teachers holding second grada cer tificates aud attending at least six days of the session, will be entitled to a re newal of certificate without an examina tion. A cour3 of lecture is being ar ranged for, and will include some of the lefit known educators. We notice the name of Prof. W. VT. Drummtn.l among those of the instructors. For full partic ulars write to J. A. Sutton, Louisville, or the county superintendent. An Uncalled-for Assertion. We do not find much satisfaction in filling up space in battle agi'nst the pa per at the lower extremity of this street, but when they make such false and uncalled-for statements ns they are some times in the habit of doing, wc are obliged to hold our own aud nhow the public that every article which is publish ed in this paper is correct, and wo are always ready to stand by what wc say. Last Tuesday's Journal took the trou ble to publish a false statement to the extent of half a column, stating that wc were rushing to the defense of Mr. Harris, which statement is false. We rush to de fend no one, but gather what news we can, and publish what we know to be correct, only. The following few lines which were clipped from the article published by them, could be taken home and be as fitly applied as possible by making the change of Hi; kali to Journal : "Any assertion that the 1Iekai.i may make cither as news, defamation or poli tics, must be taken with allowance at least." Through malice, the local reporter of the Journal has made these false state ments against Mr. Harris, and. a petition was also circulated by which they propos ed to remove him from the police force. They succeeded in seeming half a dozen names, which the council Would not rec ognize. Mr. Harris circulated a petition yester day and secured a large number of the names of prominent business men and citizens, and he will still wear his police badge, no matter what work the Journal may do. If the news grinder of the squib-mill would go to head quarters and find out the truth ot the Harris trouble, as we have done, such erroneous statements as are published in that paper would not appear. When the reporter of this'papcr heard of the trouble between Mr. Harris and the man working under him, he asked Mr. Halloa what it all meant and who was in the wrong. He stated that Mr. Harris was only acting according to his direction and that he intended to back him up in whatever he had done. This statement was made to our reporter by Mr. Ba'lou, and if the squib manufacturer of the Journal will interview him, he will hear the same statement. Mr. Sherman said that he knew noth ing of the statement made against Mr. Harris before its publication, and that the proper thing for the reporter to have done would have been to interview Mr. Hallou and ascertained the truth of the whole trouble. We arc not makiug any defense by these statements for any one but ourselves, just wishing to bring ourselves honestly before the public aud .-how that we arc always ready and willing to prove what ever assertions are made by us. All we ask of the Journal is that they may fol low the god example set them and we trust that sj-ch lies may not again appear in print as tiiey huvi tccc;ily given pub lication to. Coal is Cash. The undersigned coal d' alers, doing business in the city oi Plattsmouth, deem it to the best interests of the public, as well as of the dealers, to sell coal strictly and exclusively for cash. Coal is a comiuodjty that js, and should be, sold on a veiy close margin, too small, pi fact, for the dealers to trust to the de lays and uncertainties of collections. The tl eiders are required to pay spot cash fijv coal. The credit system entails a serion loss ech. season, by reason of the amount of bad del its siecejoar? ip he charged off to profit and loss, anil in the additional expense required for book keej.eia, collectors, etc. By dispensing vvitl. the p.!ove formid able items of expense, dealers can nrrord to sell coal at lower prices, and they feel assured that this will commend itself to the thinkidg public. For the above reaiion, therefore, the coal dealers have decided to sell for each only, OX AX1 A FTETS Jl'I.Y 11, This mesns just what it says. TlMOTifYf'LAK. tf II. A. Wateiimax So. List ot Letters.

An increase in freight car carrying capa city from ten to twenty tons nominal load has been accomplished within the last decade. Freight cars, as now built, are intended to carry twice their weight in load, while for a number of yais ifors the increase wai made the weight of tho possible load was generally assumed as that of the box car In which it was carried. The narrow gauge movement, though not successful in changing the stanaarcj width of American railroads. served, we think, a useful purpose in calling attention to the relations between dead and paying weight, with tho result, as stated, of increasing the relative load carried. Rail way Eeyiew. A Large rir cf Sboe. A shoemaker, of Atlanta, Oa., has just finished the largest pair of shoes ever mado for actual use. It took a piece of leather containing 1,040 square inches to make the uppers, and 1,900 to make the soles. That is 3,000 square inches altogether. If that leather "ere cut into strips an eighth of an inch wide and made into oie iopg sjrini, the string would bo 24,000 inches long. The shoes weigh eight and one-quarter pounds, The soles are fourteen inches long, 5 wide aud S inches deep. That doesn't count the Led, irhicb "ould add another inch to the depth. Chicago fieraid.

Tho lady may have been a New Yorker for a quarter of a centui-y, and the sharp briUianey of her diamonds and general adornment may convey the idea that she is brie of the grand dames of the city, but whev she gets to her claret it Is all up with b. The waiters say that nine out of ten such ladies put sugar in their claret, and this is supposed to skock a thoroughbred 2sew Yorker. I'ei haps the waiters discover her at tho start when she tackles the oysters. Many ladies, whose girlhood homes were' in tha )-ural districts, insist on using vinegar, pepper and salt in big dosf s on their oysters, and this also Is supposed to bo contrary to the ideas of the born Kew Yorkersi Is'ew York fc!in- ENTREATY. & Stay, lorely maJd,m ' It U but wut of life for m, tr y Whaa now W paid, My 8 tore of lore, my &3 to tbaa, And poor my heart must aver b.

As tho Listener stepped into his favorite confectioner's the other afternoon a place whero ho enjoys some acquaintance, and where a certain degree of impertinent inquisl t'veness' might consequently be pardoned bim he noticed in the show case a box con taining a few curious looking objects, the like of which he did not remember to have seen before. "What are those, please f he asked. "Those," said the confectioner, "are sugared violets." "Sugared fiddlesticks' ".No, sugared violets." "Dear met Can 1 afford to buy a few of tneni" "Possibly. Thoy are Imported from Eng land, and we sell them for $4 a pouud." "Is that all? Well, you may send me up half a ton, please; and be sure arid have the men on the wagon take along boskets to de liver them in." The Listener was Inclined to treat that matter as a little joke on the part of the con fectioner, but be found that the sugared vio lets were a reality, and the price actual Upon closer inspection one could see the vio let nestled in its coating of sugar.

Isn't It near the proper time to change the fashion of 6aluting one's fair friends after they have passed on the other side! There are experts who time their movements so adroitly that their hand never moves until the lady saluted is at least three feet distant. These contrive to dolT and don their head gear in the next three feet. Others, less ex pert, prolong the movement until several rods are measured. How would it do to re turn to first principles! Give your friend ample time to see and return the salute. Pittsburg Bulletin. l unoral Custom In Denmark, In Denmark it is becoming customary for friends to send to the relatives of a person who has died what is called a "Good Works Card," in place of the usual floral tributes. I hese cards are of white pasteboard, printed in silver, and are issued by various charitable gamzations. On each card is tho name of tho society which issues it; in the center is an ivy wreath on y-hicb the name of the de ceased may be written, and at the foot i3 a space for the name of the sender. The cards are sold in bookstores for a moderate sum. The idea appears to be a sensible one, as by sending these cards people can show their sympathy for those in sorrow and at the same time do something for their favorite charity. As might be erpeetod, the florists do not like these cards. New York Tribune. Voltaire bad in hia room sometimes five desks at which he pursued different tasks. P. T.
