which now stands at the head of the city

The nainters and carpenters in the

meeting. Arrangements are being made
by the Young Men's Democratic Club, of
th'w citv. to furnish a lartre attendance
from here. Sneakin" to hc'ia about

noon.
Several complaints have been heard o f
late owing to the negligence of our car
rier bovs in delivering the daily. Those
who are missed occasionally by them
would do well to send or leave word at
this office, as we cannot be held responsi
Me unless informed in some way. It we
learn of such dissat'sfaction, the matter i
invariably looked into, and we will al
ways be pleased to learn that we may
right the wrong.
Mr. L. C. Curtis, who is an employe
of the B. & M. at their round house here
met with a very painful accident yester
day morning while in the act of using a
trolley for the purpose of removing some
machinery. He caught hold of a rope
which had become fastened in some way
to some cost wheels, and as he did so his
band was carried into the machinery,
cutting the end of his little finger off.
He lost the nail and a small piece of the
bone with the flesh.
A grand festival will be given on Fri
day evening, August 3rd, for the benefit

invites everybody to "come and get their
suppers," and says that "everything will
be served that the palate could wish
Come and help us out of this struggle to
build a house for the Lord." Elder Bos
well gives a free lecture during the even
ing. Admittance to the festival, 23 cts.
children 10 cts.
Our patrons who read the weekly
Herald speak favorably of the quality
of music which we publish in each issue.
The weekly circulation has increased con
siderable on account of it. The iiiuir
alone is worth the small amount which is
charged for the yearly subscription to the
weekly, and besides it, the paper contains
every news item which is afloat. The pa-
p2r is worthy of a trial and we feel confi
dent that entire satisfaction would be tin
result. Every effort is also being made
on the daily to push it to the front. It
is encouraging to hear daily that the pa
per is improving and that if the people
want the news, they now look for the
Hekai'.d. Let all assist us in whatever
way they may and we promise faithfully
to still improve with what encouragement
we receive.
Mr. Philip Treatch, a well-to-do far
mer and known extensively in this vicin
ity, who lives about eight miles nor li
west of the city, near Concord, met with
a very painful accident yesterday after
noon which he is not apt to recover from
immediately. He and his boy were en
gaged in loading wheat on a wagon, Mr.
Treatcb placing it on the wagon as it was
thrown to him. " The horses became
frightened in some way and started to
rnn away. As the lines had been thrown
on the ground Leside the horses, he was
unable to stop them while he remained on
the wagon. Ho jumped to tbo ground,
and as he weighs about 205 pounds,
could not drop easily on his feet, and
badly sprained both ankles ana injured
several small bones in Ins limts. lie now

About forty of the young I'latts-
mouth belles are entertaining themselves
in a picnic style this afternoon at the
popular resort known as Fitz's forty.
: A base ball game is being played
this afternoon on the ball grounds be
tween a "Weeping "Water club and a juve
nile club of this city. The club from
N eeninir Water, if it is tne same nine
which played with them there a short
time ago as the boys say it is, has con
siderable the advantage over the home
team as they are mostly all heavier and
older.
Mr. "Mick" McGuire, who had his
name attached to several communications
which were printed in the Journal some
time ago, has at last gained fame, and is
now holding down a goyernment sit at
Whitman, Neb. He is now postmaster at
that place and draws a salary for deliver
inr mail to the proprietors of a one-horse
grocery, a blacksmith shop and a hand
me-down store. We wish him success in
his new adventure.
Mr. Malick and deputy-sheriff
Miller accompanied by John McClellatd
the insane man, Aveut to Lincoln last
night. They will hand him over to the
authorities there. Hu was very uneasy
while in the car before the train pullet
out and was stvcarimr and throwing his
arms around in an excited manner. No
cause can be given for his insanity
Some think business caused it while
others believe, because he is incessantly
talking on religion, that that is partially
the cause. lie sleeps very little ana
generally walks around at night at all
hours. During the last three weeks he
has been more uneasy than lie was known
to be before and his con dition does not
improve.
Bills have been issued today adverti.
ing another game which is to be played
on the base ball grounds on Saturday
next, between the Plattsmouth club and
the Jetter & Young club of South Oma
ha, one of the best clubs in the Omaha
city league, and it is expected that as
close and as hard a game as has been
played this season will be witnessed. Th
complete club will be at home for this
game. Mr. Sam Patterson, who has been
in Pennsylvania for some time and who
was absent when the last two games wen
played, will he on hand t'ns time and
help the boys. He and Mr. W. Miller,
who has returned home to join the club
until the first of September, are acknowl
edged to be two of the best players in
the club and it is thought that with their
assistance, in the coming game, that vic
tory will surely fall to Plattsmouth. The
boys arc all eagre to come to the front as
is noticeable by their perseverance in
practicing nearly every afternoon during
such warm weather as we have had of
late. The game will be called at :15 p.
m., sharp, and those desiring seats on the
grand stand in order to keep in the shade
should go early as there will surely be a
large crowd to witness this game. Every
body take an afternoon and assist the
club and be entertained for a short time
as well as you ever were before. Admis
sion 25 cents.
Mr. Phil Harrison, one of our jolly
transfer men, expressed himself this
morning in a way that influenced the re
porter to believe that he was gratified to
know, more than ever before, that he
still possesses his natural equilibrium,
-ilthough he states he narrowly escaped a
shock which might have broken several
bones for him. Yesterday afternoon,
about 3 o'clock, he backed his wagon to
some freight cars standing on what is
known as the town track, at the foot of
Main street, for the purpose of unloading
salt. He had succeeded in getting about
eleven barrets into his wagon and was
tbout ready to go in the car and roll out
another, when suddenly he found him
self flying through the air. AVhen he re
covered himself enough to know that h
was still uninjured, he looked to find his
wagon ditributed in several pieces by the
side ofjtlie track, and the mules, whitl
were attached to the wagon, struggling
to pull away part of it. His location was
changed so quickly that he could not tell
how it was done. The accident was
caused by a train of cars coming
against the stationaiy ones with such ter-
riftic force that it sent them down the
track for the distance of about two blocks.
The cars which came in from the south
side of the yard were uncoupled and
kicked in by the engine before it reached
t'ie switch. s there were no brakes ou
some of the cars, they could not be stop
ped so-m enough to prevent the collision

A Remarkable Family-
"The Gazette has not made any attempt
to unearth the veteran voters who sup
ported the nominees of 1840, but inci
dentally a somewhat remarkable survival
iaa been brought to light. Joseph Smith,
who lives at No. 411 A avenue. West,
not only voted for Harrison at Mt. Ver
non, Ohio, in 1840, but is remarkable for
more meritorious achievements. That
vote of 1840 was the first one he was en
titled to cost but since then he has al
ways voted the straight whig or republi
can ticket. He was one of the earliest
organizers of the republican party in
Ohio, and when the war broke out he was
one of the seven brothers who shouldered
a musket in the union cause. The total
term of service which these seven broth
ers saw during the war, was twenty-eight
years, one of them enlisting four times.
Mr. Smith came to Iowa fifteen years ago,
and to Cedar Rapids in 1880. He heard
Harrison speak here five years ago. and
at that time said he would like to vote
for him, consequently he is somewhat
tickled to think that that wish is about
to be realized. Not the least remarkable
of the circumstances connected with
this
remarkable family is that Mr. Smith
is
the father of seven sons who are living.
and six of whom will be old enough to
vote for Harrison and Morton. "They'l
da it. too." the old man replied, "and if
the other one was of age he would do
the same." If any town can produce a
more remarkable family than this we
would like to hear from it. We have
only dealt with two generations, though
the family in this lineal descent had rep
rcsentatives in all our war?, and did gal
hint service." Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Ga
zette.
This Smith family is as usual large
and they are our kind. Our O. P. Smith
of O. P. Smith & Co., is one of these
boys mentioned. Two others are in Ne
hraska, three in Iowa and one in Kansas,
the name is seldom found at roll call in
police courts, jails or penetentiaries, and
of course all of that name in the past
have been identified with the republican
party. While we have great regard for
O. P., and like his presence in Platts
mouth, still it w ould be a grand thing
if all the Smith family were located in
New York and Indiana until after No
yember.
