CITY CORDIALS.
The democrats were wise in omitting
the prohibition plank from their plat
form. Thpm will he ainentincr of the vounir
men's republican club tonight at the of
fice of Judge Russell.
There will be a business meeting of
the St. Luke's Guild at 7 o'clock this
evening, at the residence of Mrs. A. ".
"White's.
-Ite v. M. A. Hampton has resigned
his position as pastor of the Christian
church here and will preach his farewell
sermon next Sunday.
An emigrant wagon passed through
the city westward bound yesterday and
labeled: "Harpson and Morton or bust."
We hope they don't "bust."
The editor of the Journal says there
wasn't a drunken man in Weeping Water
last Saturday night during the democrat
ic rally there. Wonder how he knows ?
All members of the young men's re
publican club arc requested to be present
at their meeting which will be held at
the oflice of Judge Russell. Meeting
called at 3 o'clock sharp.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
complimentary ticket to the Seventh An
nual fair of tlie Gage County Agricultur
al Society, to be held at Beatrice, Xeb.,
on Sept. 4th to 7th inclusive.
The Glee Club will sing an entire
new array of songs never before heard in
the city.in an inimitable style at the Grand
Concert, Au. 14. The club has the rep
utation as one ol the best singing socie
ties in the state.
The friends of Mrs. Merges will be
pleased to hear that 6he has cti&e of
the piano accompaniments at the Musi
cal Festival to be given at the Opera
House, Aug. 14, under the auspices of
the Plattsraouth Orchestra & Concert Co.
A base ball club consisting of strik
ers, will play a game on the ball grounds
this afternoon with the first nine. The
strikers were possessed of enough aasur
rance to come out on the streets this after
noon attired in base ball clothes. Partic
ulars of the game tomorrow.
A good Samaritan passed the way
where a democrat had fallen from his
ass and lay upon the road apparently in
deep trouble with a sore head and minus
a pant leg. The good Samaritan, who
was a republican, lifted him from the
miry clay and after bandaging the bruis
ed limb and bathing the swell ed head,
Bent him on his way rejoicing to lite laud
of the republicans Plattsmouth. He
informed the good man that he had at
tended a grand rally the night before.
Kev. W. B. Alexander, in his sermon
yesterday morning showed the amount of
money expended by the American people
last year for missionary purposes and
asked them to compare it with the amount
spent for do; tax the e&uie year. He did
not see why dogs should be taxed any
way, and that there was one which prowl
ed about in the vicinity of his residence
every night and made more noise than if
lie had not been taxed for the people
would then have had the privilege of
shooting him.
A Pacific J unction citizen lingered
about the B. & B. depot list Saturday
night apparently enjoying a look at every
passer-by and readily shooting an answer
at anyone who might make any reference
to him. lie was waiting fo the arrival
of the K. C. train and he carried a brown
jug of no light weight. He seemed to
l2 pog-essed of the brightest spirits and
Le had apparently enjoyed his Platts
moutu visit very much. He is not the
only Iowan who has yulted the city and
returned to the land of the web-feet re
gardless of "prohi." lately,
The Clippers of this city accepted
a challenge from the Murray club which
appeared in this paper last week and
drove out about ten miles south of the
city yesterday where they played a game
which resulted favorable for the Clippers
uy a score or is to y. About one
hundred spectators were on the ground.

The republicans of Glcnwood are at
present quite enthusiastic over the rally
which is to be given there on the 13th.
Arrangements will he made for that date
so that special rates can be secured over
the railroads from the different direc
tions and it is expected that one of the
greatest events in the history of that
place will be the result. Jlr. John A.

publican club of this city, has received a
pressing invitation in belndf of the clnb.

The Ball Came.
The Jctter & Young club of Omaha
badly defeated the Plattsmouth club on
their own ground last Saturday afternoon.
The Omaha team did not win the
game by extra smooth playing, but were
allowed to have everything their own
way by the general poor playing indulg
ed in by the home team. Mr. Tom Pat
terson, the pitcher for the Plattsmouth
club, who is looked upon by the players
of his team as their main support, was
badly crippled during the first inning
and was obliged to leave the field. This
break in the club discouraged and seem
ed to rattle every player, and they all
held the diamond down in a way that
prompted the spectators to believe they
were taking a day off. Two outsiders
were taken into the field before the game
was finished.
The club was dissatisfied with three
or four decisions given by the umpire
and that helped to discourage them.
The club has played with twobetter
nines this season, both games being good
ones, and it is thought if Mr. Tom Pat
terson had not been obliged to leave his
box, a better game would have resulted
this time.
Following is the score :
12345C78 0
Omaha, 0300 5 3010 12
Plattsmouth, 100000010 2
Umpire, W. Chambers. Battery for
Plattsmouth, Sam and Jim Patterson; for
Omaha, Hughes and Morrisey. Mr. Jim
Patterson made the two runs for Platts
mouth. He knocked a two-bagger.
Harrison in Indiana.
Evaksville, Ind., July 30, 1888.
Nelson Jean, Plattsmouth, Neb. My
dear Bro.: You wanted me to write you
of the situation in Indiana. I can say
this. Harrison will carry Indfana, sure.
I place his majority at from 12,0.00 to 15,
000, and I would not be surprised i f it
were 20.000. 1 am perfectly familiar
with the politics of the state, am in daily
correspondence srjth the state committee,
and can assure you tia tfce laud-slide
from democracy is simply tretuedous,
and will surprise everyone when the
vote we .counted. Say to all republican
friends thai iuajjaa is no longer doubt
ful and that "protectiou i; Jome indus
tries" is what will do the business
Changes from democratic to republican
ism are of daily apcurrence, and they are
flopping by the hundreds and thousands.
Folks are all well, and send regards to
all.
We have the finest crops of all descrip
tions, including fruits of all kinds ever
known here. Peaches 50c. per bushel.
Yours,
Jake Covert.
Saturday a f teniae Leteea 4 nnd 5
o'clock, Clarence Forbes, a boy about 10
years of age, son of Mr. Chag. Forbes,
met with a very painful and ugly acci
dent. He had jumped on a farmer's wa
gon, as the famers were driving out Chi
cago ay enue on their return hom?. In
some way the bey fell from the wagon
and was run over, the wheei in 6Qje mys
terious way tearing the lower half of his
riht ear from his head. It is not known
by anyone whether one of the wheels
pasd over his head or not, but some sup
pose it did as ui ckull is slightly fractur
ed and his scalp badly eut. Jr. Schild-
knecht was sent for and arrived as soon as
possible. The piece of the ear which was
torn off was eved on immediately, and
at the last exauiinailoft f,ha doctor
thought the ear would be all right after
healing up. The boy cannot give any
information as to how the accident oc
c irred or how he fell from the wagon
Although badly injured about the head
md shoulders, it is thought he wil
speedily tecfw et.
The democratic rally wfiTch was held
at Weeping Water last Saturday night
was reported by the participants to have
been a grad success. A dozen or so
different reports were beard fni the

on the erring i ( publicans. We Relieve
that sumo of them could see four or five
men where only co stood and that may
ccount for the swelled repurt. The
Plattsmouth delegation moved slowlv
tway from the oily Saturday afternoon,
keeping time with the funeral marches
vhich the band played for them. No in
formation can be secured from any of the
delgation as to what time they returned,

had before in my life the largest crowd
ever seen in town fine speaking and a
grand rally." "Well, what time did you

'Don't know, I got home, though."
The Glen wood peoplo voted bonds

ies for the 18th, the county convention
being authorized to select delegates to

discussion of several matters pertaining
to organization and locating the conyen
tion at Weeping Water, the committee
adjourned.
