Game called at .1:30 sharp. The hase hall game which was play ed hy the striking firemen and the Clip 1CT8 yesterday afternoon ended in favor of the Clippers hy a score of 23 to 36. The delegation sent from the broth crhood of locomotive engineers of this citv. to St. Joe. to attend convention there, returned this morning. The mem hers of the delegation who were snt from fiis point were Messrs. Al. Roger, J. E Kline, F. A. Zinn, II. II. Kirknian, II. M Bailey and Chas. Campbell, who was ac companied hy his wife. A Marty of about fourteen your.g ncoide left the citv this afternoon aud drove to a suitable location on the hanks of the Platte for the purpose of catching a supply of the finny tribe. The particu lars of their success will appear tomorrow and an obituary notice of all the unfor tuuatc ones who are pulled in the water hy the fish. The black flies will have picnic. .The juvenile bund which has been organized, will meet for practice tonight Some of the persevering young fellows who have been tooting incessantly on tlit-ir horns are dissatisfied because some people who are often a short distance away at the time, complain of their noise. One of the boys w heard to remark la night: "I don't see why v.e should be in terferJ with when some people I know of in this town arc allowed to sing all they want to. If we are made to stop, tve draw a line on that." Several influential citizens have again urged, us to wake up our city fath ers to a sense of their duty. No excuse can be offered by them for the want of information, as this is the fourth time notice has been given through this paper. THE WEEDS is the subject we have chosen to write now, asking that they be removed in some way. Ladies complain of being unable to pas3 certain street.--without being compelled to rub their dresses against them which does not im prove their appearauie much when they catch the dust which has been settling on them for the whole season. Plattsmouth citizens are apparently pleased after they return from the State fisheries, at South Bend, for having spent a few days at that favorable resort. The distance between here and there is very short, and for even a trip of one day un bounded enjoyment can be realized from a visit. All who have gone there for any length of time speak in the highest terms of the place, and always look for ward to another visit. Every pleasure convenience is provided there for pleas-ure-seekers. Further particulars can l e seen on this page in a communication from there. Marshal Malick, who for the past year filled his office faithfully in this city, has vacated it, and Mr. George Poisall, who was appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the city council nt their last meeting, has taken the office and is now on duty, filling it as faithfu' ly as he did of yore. Mr. Malick gives up the office with a good heart, feeling that he has served the city to the best of his ability, and has left no mark to which any can throw a slur. We fell it our duty when a man walks uprightly and has faithfully done his duty, to publish a few lines in his favor that he may reap a reward thereby. About fifty leer kegs were seen at the depot yesterday morning and the re porter came to the conclusion that Plaits mouth had surely not ordered such a stock of the great American stimulant, and made inquiries concerning them if they had been imported for Plattsmouth He was informed that they had just tci n returned from Iowa, the prohibition state. Upon learning that they had been shipped from there, his curiosity was ex cited to some extent, but he supposed of course they were full, as they would not be emptied there, as no dealers but drug gists are allowed to sell it. When they were examined they were found empty. The epuestion arises, where did it go? It might have been sent over for the t pur pose of making a lake for the gun club wh;n they visit the land of the web-feet for the purpose of duck shooting, bet we do not believe that. The druggists wil be busy compounding prescriptions, and the Anheuser-Busch Association on this side of the river will be partially benefitted. I 1 1 Pointers From State Fishery. Soi:tu Bend, Neb. July 25. A few days ago, Mr. J. Streight, one of our most enterprising merchants, asked us to take a seat in his carriage, behind his spanking bays, and in a very few minutes we drove up to the pretty cot tage of M. E. O'Brien, superintendent of the state fishery; after a hearty shake of the hand by O'B., a few pleasant words from Mrs. O'B. and a few minutes plav with little Lottie, their charming little daughter, we went to the hatchery house, in which arc the large aquariums of all the different kinds of fish, the hatching aparatus, and.very many glass jars, of the different kinds of the finny tribe, snakes, tizzards, etc. etc., prcservetl in alcohol. To see the contents of this house alone, would well repay any one for a trip of 100 miles. From the hatching house we went up towards the spring house. Be tween the two houses there are four ponds with solid stone dams, each containing speckled trout, from one to three and four years old; and when Mr. O'Brien would scatter a handful of feed across the water, it would seem to be aliye with the speckled beauties, as they would leap about trying to get the feed. Be low the hatching house, is a breeding pond, and the one next to the lower elam is the deepest. In this are the big fellows. Mr. O'Brien says that they usually lay in the deep, dark, pools nntl are slow to rise for feed, except in the early morning; however, when lie threw in some, two cr three big fellows broke water, and when we saw them, we could not help but wish we had them at the end of a good roel From here we went to the black bass pnd, which is alive with bass, and sun fish, the sun fish being there to make feed for the bass; it y& a pretty sight to watch them playing in unci out among the green moss that covers the bottom of the lake, always on the watch and when an unfortunate grasshopper light3 upon t no water, a dozen hungry moutns are ready to snap him up. Just east of this pond is a larger pond, or lake, that is de signed for carp, but I think there is none in it now, In this lake is one of the pret ticst boats that ve ever s.y in the west, a rcjrular little daisy. From here we went to the large pond on the west, which ii the carp hatching pond. Alreaely this seasou ojrer 20,000 young carp have been taken from this oc,JJ and still the sup ply is uniim'iea, iut at tins season, tne weather is too warm to move the young fish. In Jhjs lake we saw some white pondlillies, which &re eeldom seen in the west Mr. O'B. brought the bulbs from the east and thinks that he has them suc cessfully started. From this pond we weut to the dog kennel, where shown some ten, or a dozen of tiest bird dogs that we ever we the saw. were chief among them wa3 a cochen spaniel that Mr. 13. brought from Michigan, lie h a beauty and as snjarf .s lie is pret ty After having passed a very pleasant morning, Ave bade our friends good bye and very reluctantly turned our backs uponf.l;e;r pleasant home. II. X. S. The new' city marshal lZS already shown that he has taken rpon himself the eluties of that office by making a uol'ce- able scarcity of cows which have been al lowed to run loose and take full posses sion of property eatables. lie causeel i stampede on Gospel Hill last night, and cared for about fifteen of them as they were resting contentedly as if they were monarch of all they surveyed. We an glad to see some one make a move to compel owners of cows to pasture them in some quarter where they will not in variably prove a scource of annoyance to people who have priele enough to take care of Iheir property. The marshal says he will be on your hill tonight and woe be unto the cows he finds. Disputes arise each moment since the game which was played between the fat and lean nines last Tuesday. The fats are yet invincible, although the score is in favor of the lean nine. They feel quite sore as they were not satisfied in various ways. Since there is so much elisagreement all 'round the fats are about to challenge their opponents for another game to be playeel next week. Since the lean fellows won the game by erne run and an inning, a mm who has not grad ually bec- ine accustomed to their blow- hardism since the game, is liable to loose an arm if becomes witliin talkative reach of any. We advise the talked of game, and we hops the next game may arrive at a settlement. C. J. Browne, of Omaha, po.st-ofiice inspector, was in the city yesterday mak ing arrangements for the rental of a post office building. Four bids were received. but as the bids will be decided at head quarters, we were unable to ascertain which would receive preference, but it is supoosed.juclging from his conversation, that the office will remain in the same building the opera house.

A New York Ttarfceeper Drop Into a Confidential Mood What Ila Know About Cheap and "Free" Lunchei Hid eous Itlystcries Made Known. "yes," moodily assented the barkeeper, "tho weather la pretty warm, but it is a cold day for me, all the same, for I have emphat ically 'got left. The boss is away to a fu neral, Dan was taken sick suddenly and had to go home, and hero I've been all alone on the keen jump for six straight hours. I'm tired out, and so blamed hungry that I could eat anything except a free lunch." "What's the matter with the free lunch V queried the reporter. "Oh, nothing. Only I know too much about it, and as for eating it excuse me." Ten feet from that starving barkeeper was a long, narrow table, covered with bowls, dishes and plates In which were displayed quite an assortment of seeming articles of food, some of them rather tempting in ap pearance for a hungry man. There were several kinds of sausages, bits of fried liver, pork and beans, cheese, pickled onions and beets, thin slices of a sort of a marbleized compound of gristle and grease that was called "headcheese," small iishballs, fried eels, pigs' feet cut in chunks, a strange ma terial said to be picklod "ox mouths," which were salty sour with a curious roughness, toughness and graininess in them, and other things needless to recapitulate. Men had been nibbling at the piles of them all day. Some men fancy that their drink tastes better when they take a preliminary bito of something; others have an erroneous idea that a bite or two after drinking makes the odor of tho liquor less conspicuous in their breath; many believe that alcoholic liquor does less harm to the coats of their stomachs when they take a little food with it; thou sands tako a bito lecause sight of the food awakens a fictitious appetite in them, and tens of thousands snatch up mouthfuls of whatever comes handy, just from tho habit. TASTES OF THE PUBLIC!. Although thehor as not much past the middle of the afternoon, sonio ?f the plates were pretty well cleared. The taste of iu6 public that day seemed to have run to the pickled mussels, water cresses and radishes, for these supplies were almost exhausted. Next to these tho fried liver and beans had found favor. The sausage did not seem to have tempted many, but there had been somo nibbling on the kind made of liver and on tho imitation bologna, that was hard, black, and oily of look and goaty in smelL Plenty of forks stood bandy, thrust in deep in greasy and grimy water, that is supposed to give them sufficient cleansing as they pass from mouth to mouth. In a lull of business tho barkeeper went on in a confidential tone. "Few saloon keepers are sufficiently good stewards to buy properly for a first class lunch, and fewer still have cither the knowl edge or the conveniences for getting up th lunches themselves The result I, as been tha building up of a very considerable bushiest, which is generally in the hands of broken down caterers and dissipated ex-cooks, in the supplying of free lunches to saloons at stipu lated prices according to quantity and variety required. They charge all sorts of prices, from seventy-Sve cents up to $5 or even $7 per day. Of course, there is a good deal of keen competition among them, as there is in everything connected with' the saloon business, and they are all the time trying to cut under each other in price What is tho consequence? That they use always the cheapest and often the nastiest materials, and spend as littlo as possible of either time or money on preparation. Let us look that stuff over now to illustrate what I say but mind you don't give it away that I told you, for the boss would give mo tho grand bounce if he knew it Bmell that liver sausage. Don't you notice a littlo faint sour taint? That liver had commenced to spoil before it was made up. Sniff one of those slabs of fresh boef "sausage. That moldy smell tells sufficiently the story of the meat it was made from. This 'oxen maul' seems ati i istj but we had a lot a few days ago that was a terror. There's no use putting that smoked bologna to your noso. I can tell you about it. It is made of refuse scraps, too far gono for use any other way, that are salted and "seasoned up, aiid ernoked so that their quality is effectually concealed. THE HIDEOUS MTSTEIUES. "I gave a chunk of that headcheese the other day to a dog that looked hungry. The intelligent brute took it, but laid it down in stantly, gave me a look of bitter reproach, and walked out. Inspect that mess of pigs' feet and you will observe that the grimo and filth of the pig pen is stiil on them. They have actually never been washed, any more than that in the processes of boiling and pickling some of the dirt ha dropped off. So 1 could go on directing your attention to the true inwardness of more of the banquet until I mads you sick, only that it sickens me to think about it, I will mercifully draw a veil over the hideous mysteries'of 'tho ox tail soups, fctews and other hot made dishes sup plied io quantity by these free lunch cater ers. I dropped in, on some business for the boss, at one of those caterer's places over on the west side a few weekVago anjLsaw them Biaking a kettlo of ox tail soup. The memory of it, if it could not be banished from the mind, would be enough to drive a man to hard drLuk. .'.'They are very skillful in arresting de composition and hiding its evidences by means of cbamicals and seasoning, so that you can't really tell how far gone tho meat may hav3 been that you are eating, and though some people like tainted meat and say that it is wholesome, the very idea of it disgusts me. 'What do they use T I don't know what all, but I do know that somo of them employ permanganate of potash to kill the smell of bad meat, and salicylic acid to keep the soup from souring in hot weather. The more a free lunch article is seasoned the more legitimately open to suspicion it is. By the way, have you ever noticed 'brandied cheese' on the free lunch table? OhI you have, and you think it Isn't bad. Well, barroom cheese is, as a rule, the cheapest that can be got When it is unsalable for any other purpose it is offered to the saloon; but when it goes beyond that point, and even rats fight shy of it, it is still all right for saturation with bogus brandy made of flavored rectified spirits and come3 up smiling as 'brandied cheese.' "Of couriie, tho lunch caterers will howl denials of all this, but it is true just the same, and anybody is welcome to my share. Never trust anything in a free lunch that is not actually gotten up by the saloon keeper him self, lie is bound to have some conscience, and don't know the tricks of tho caterer. And you will do well to fight 6hy of every thing but slices that you see cut off big jointi or hams, fresh vegetables, like radishes or cresses, and clean pretzels or crackers." New York Bun.
