We acknowledge the receipt of a
ticket to the 22nd Annual Exhibition of

The Plattsmouth journal is getting
to use poster type in its editorial articles
now. It finds it out that it has to, to
get any one to read them. Eagle.
We have our opinion of a reporter
who will ppend half a day collecting ma
terial for locals, and then hunt up his
best girl to assist him in writing them up.
"We never saw this done but we have
heard of such things happening.
Ilogc and Murphy, the "Q" conspira
tors, arrived in the city this morning with
a large following of the Brotherhood.
"We did not learn their mission here, but
suppose they have come to work up sym
pnthy for themselves and try to close up
their broken ranks here.
A stranger who was strolling down
Main street this morning noticed one of
the lean men practicing for the coming
game, and as he stood and watched the
man exercise himself for a short time, re
marked to the crowd: "If that lean fel
ler don't let up playing ball, there won't
l.r pnniirrh of him left in five years to
""
direct a. letter to."
We have seen things that were very
amusing, and at the same time very prac
ticable; but the best thing we have seen
lately was one of the lean nine, who was
out playing base ball with some small
boys, practicing for the great game in
the near future. We will not give his
name. He is a couniy cflk-ial, and play
ed second base last evening at practice.
The lean base ball club, which has
worked its way into prominence since the
alt nf tbe eomincr amc. which is to be
- c '
played on the ball ground next Tuesday
between the fats and leans, were again oa
the diamond last night exercising them
selves as though they were possessed of a
spirit of considerable encouragement.
Kverv move during the game va5 grace
ful, and the players worked with cousid
t-rable viui until a hot liner crossed the
diamond. It apparently was directed to
Mr. Campbell, who, seeing the ball rapid
lv ndranein? towards him. threw UP his
-j
hinds as catchers do. The hands seemed
to be no impediment, and the ball sped
on its way. When the players looked for
the ball it was discovered that it was
cut in two. and the game was called im
mediately.
jout eighteen Loys who "are nil
.bout seventeen or eighteen years of age
are about to organize themselves into a
- band. A. meeting was held last night,
nnd the boys selected as their leader for
the present Ed Sehulhoff, amember.the B.
& M. band. A meeting will "be held
Monday night for the purpose of making
more complete arrangements and arrange
or the purchase of instruments Several
oi the boys have a fair knowledge of
music, and as they are all ambitious to
come to the front in that line, we rest
with great assurance on their success.
About the same crowd also formed them
selves into a glee club, and are apparent
ly anxious to attain a knowledge of that
profession. We trust the boys may be
successful and also be a credit to the
town in the way of a band.
About forty young people express
themselves as having spent a few hour3
last evening in a most enjoyable manner
at the residence of Mr. M. Gering, the
event being a party given in honor of
Mis Celi a Severin, who is the guest of
bis daughters, the Misses Gering. The
lawn was beautifully decorated - by Chi
nese lanterns, and the evening being a
delightful one, it brought fourth enthus
iasm from each young lady and gentle
man present; and from the whole party
in its jubilation, sounds of laughter could
)2 heard until a late hour. A pleasant
time, in the strongest sense of the term
imparts to the readers the true enjoyment
of all present. The usual games were
indulged in. Appended we give the
jiamcs of those who were honored by in

Crass-Widowers vs. Sought Love.
In one of the articles published in
1,1M,KKA''U 1CW, """"'
s.n f v prlitora ox bnilsted Ills VOCabU-
lory in a discussion, of the many haps
and mishaps, fortunes and misfortune,
that befall that Dart of humanity, which
the cruel messenger of fate, (which more
or less determines the destiny of the
human race) has irom time immemmor-
ial decreed that they should be called
arass widowers, aud now while that
class of men, as well as all others, deserve
the attention of the pulpit, press and
public sentiment, yet there is another
class which wo believe to be wortby or
like attention. There are some redeem-
ing qualities in the former, from the fact,
that when fate has released them from
her grasp and they return to the joy ana
f domestic life or to "the bald
headed end of the broom," they are then
eft to themselves to enjoy home or share
ts sorrows as the case may be; but the
class of which we speak differ in many
respects to the latter, from the fact, that
in the first place there is no hopes of the
public being relieved of them as one of
them have truthfully said "six months of
leap year is gone without any fatal re
sults." They are to be found every
where, the private boarding house is in
complete with its list of boarders unless
one or more of them has got his name
there. While there, he amuses himself by
teasinc? some of the waiters or some of
o
the boarders and if tired of that kind of
sport, he will get a pail of water and
amuse one of the neighbors by throwing
water on them. He then returns to his
sanctum and amuses himself by writing
up locals, taking for his subjects some of
his fellow boarders; but we see we are
getting almost personal, lest some one be
identified by their vocation. The class of
which we speak are very fond of attend
ing lawn socials parties etc. It was eur sad
fate to meet one of them some time ago
(far from here) at a party, the party was
a surprise, and a present was to be given.
From lha portly appearance of our friend
we infercd that he would be able to very
gracefully deliver the present, according
lv he was selected for that purpose. The
time came for the present to be given and
to the astonishment of those in the secret
the present was not given and soon all
started for home. After we got outiae
an interview was held, but the present
could not be found. They went back in
the hcjise and commenced looking for it
in a very evening jnanner, when amid
many blushes and smiles i.ami t;a class
nf humnnitv run blnshl our friend went
down in his
inside vest pocket and
brought fcrh the treasure and very grace-
fullv presented it. It een)3 as if there
x
had been some misunderstanding in re-
'ard to who was to make the presenta
tion and our friend forgot that he had it.
But the last and worst of all of their pe
culiarities, is their tia&i cf being such
slaves to duty. Their attention to i-he
grass widowers in the absence of their
wives, they proudly claim to be prompted
by the puteat of motives, that of duty;
but is it not pbiin to bo ceen that they are
trying to live the model husband while
in .single life, but they ask what motives
for so hvir.. Oh no, they do not know
that the young swains i.rj pot entirely in
sensible to their actions. But now m con
clusion we would advise that our friends
devote their aileution in all future time
to those who are still in the market and
not waste their time on those who are lost
to them forever, that the old song may
fade awsy;
"N'o one to lov. iiiisij to caress.
None t lespond to tins iitwi's t.sndeiness,
,
For in my sorrow I'm weeping alone."
Brother Reeve of the national prison
congre complained of the easy manner
in which marriage licenses are granted,
aad added that if a man wanted to rn a
locomotive or practice medicine or plead
in the courts he had to submit to a rigid
examination as to his fitness for the posi
tion and be abie to piss one. The infer
ence is that Mr. Reeve would have pros
pective husbands submitted to a rigid
examination aa to their merits and quali
fications, which 633ms like a good scheme.
The Journal would suggest tljat the man
who contemplates matrimony should be
required to answer a series of questions
similar to the follwing.
(1) Ilave you been married before?
(2) If so, where- is your wife ?
(3) How long do you expect to remain
married? j
(4) Is your salary sufficient to enable
you to procure divorce in time of need?
(5) Are you satisfied hu$ your pros
pective wife caii support you comforta
bly? Numerous pthee queries could be ad
ded, and if they were answered satisfac
torily by the bridegroom, the wedding
might tak place to the credit of every
body. Tbe Journal will do all it can to
boom the scheme. Lincoln Journal.
A strange geutlemaa, well dressed,
with pleasing manners and addres, step
ped into the county clerks office this
morning, and asked for a license, where
upon, that worthy official asked him if
he wanted a marriage license, when in
answer to his query lie frankly remarked
that it wis too hot for that. As wisa
men are to be admired, we should be
glad to bays him remain in our city as
undoubtedly, one of the vise of the
wissrt.

In the early spring this year a few
cases of base ball fever was reported by
Dr. Chambers but the doctor thought there
would be no serious trouble, but it seems
as if the mania was still spreading, as it has
continued to do since its first outbreak
For a time the mania was confined to the
stars, but alas, the fats and leans have
became victims to its gigantic ghost
Jumbos and torn thumbs alike fall pow
erless in its wild career. We might feel
ourselves at ease if wa thought this
would be the end, but we hear that the
ink fiends vs. lather slineers have
had a serious attack and will take
dose of ball and bat the coming week
and now when such prominent citizens as
the latter fall a prey in its course we
think it high time to be alarmed. But
we have become accustomed to being
alarmed and well we may be from the
fact that we hear that our county officials
fats vs. leans, have very alarming symp
toms of the disease and we should not
be surprised it in the iiear future some
of our fadies should be challenging some
one for a came of base ball. It will be
remembered that two of our county of
ficials are of that persuasion, so it seems
as if all that can be done is to fold our
arms and complacently look en.

Fraud In the Mummy.
If you don't want to be swindled in mum
mia, choose .only the flried up, "ornery"
onos. There is said to fce & great deal of
fraud in the mummy business in Egypt. The
dealers are aware that purchasers will pay a
higher price for well preserved mummies,
and as no genuine mummies are well pre
served they contract with tramps, beggars,
etc, for their fcodios when defunct. The
money paid to the mummies th&t ars to be,
of course, is spent in dissipation, which
hastens their death. Then the dealers pickle
and smoke their bodies until they are what
an ideal mummy should be. And the first
rich ''Christian (leg" who comes along sees
them and pays a big price for one of them,
with an elaborate pedigree running back to
the days of Sesostris thrown in. JTeT York
Tribune.
In an English Court,
In an English court recently Mr. Justice
Hawkins said: "This is an exceedingly
trumpery case; not that that is a distinctive
description, because most of the cases that
come here are trumpery." The lawyers be
gan to endeavor to exonerate their client.
"My client, my lord, was most anxious to
avoid these proceedings. AVe have simply
been dragged here by my friend." "On the
contrary, my lord," said the other lawyer,
"we have been literally goaded into litiga
tion by the oondnct of my friend's client."
"Oh, yes," replied the judge, "I quite under
stand. Tbe plaintiff has been driven to
bring this action by the exasperating resist
ance of the defendant to his unjust claim. -
