Behold Mr. John Minor as Uncle

dav bv him from Mr. Al. Dorrington, of
Chadron, stating that he has an addition

trust the citizens will recognize our ef
forts to publish a good daily by extend
ing a little patronage for which we will
be grateful. He will also make a tour
over the county.

perience in reference to starching shirts.
hue nas noticed tuat tne bosoms never
blister if she starches them on the right
side, bat if they are wrong side out then
they aro apt to do so. She pours the
mixed starch into boiling water instead
of pouring boiling water on the starch,
and in thi way never uses more starch
than necessary, as the simple starch and
water can be saved.
The following item, clipped from
the White Pine (Colo.) Cone, speaks
favorably of one of Plattsniouth's young

Our Present City Administration-
The public should remember that the
present administration are redeeming all
the pledges they made before the last
election. The republican city convention
passed a resolution that they were in fa
vor of all public improvements for the
benefit of the city. Mr. Richey, the pre
sent mayor, accepted his nomination on
that platform, the republican council
men accepted their nomination is upon
the same issue, and today we believe they
have and arj to the best of their ability,
fulfilling their pledges. The sewer im
provements are being pushed rapidly to
completion. The bonds having been
sold and $10,000 is now in the bank here
ready to be used and the balance sub
ject to call. The paving of Main St. is to
be commenced immediately and will be
pushed to an early completion. The
water mains have been extended as far as
compatible with public interest the pre
sent year. The gas mains have been ex
tended, 25 additional lights having been
added to the 50 already in use. These
are the internal improvements that the
city was mostly interested in at that time,
but there is one other that certainly de
mands the attention of our present mayor
and city fathers and that is a new
CITY HALL.
The present Quarters are entirely too
small and cramped and the administra
tion should keep pace with the rest of the
improvements. They certainly cannot add
to the city any more substantial improve
ment than a new city hall, one that will
be large enough to comprise a council
chamber, a room for the two hose and
hook and ladder carts that are located in
the business center, and if possible,
station house or jail and headquarters
for the police.
Councilman Murphy at the last meet
ing offered a resolution tending to that
end and it is a matter that ought to be
pushed along with the other improve
ments. There are several good locations
that oan be had and we urge the council
to look into the matter.

Preparing for the Long Hours.
Nothing affords one greater pleasure
than to sit down with one of our old
vets., who has fought, bled and died for
his country, and hear from him the im
itation ot a battle m lull force, but in
order to get the benefit of these stories
you must have the faculty of drawing
heavily on your imagination. Since con
siderable interest was manifested last
night by an audience who had quietly
assembled in a cosy little room for the
purpose of imparting to each other thril
ling experiences and listening to the hair
breadth adventures of the said vet, it was
imagined by one of the party who was pos
sessedjof considerable more forethought
than any of the other members of the fra
ternity, that, to form themselves into
social society, with an efficient story-tel
ter as chairman, would be a scheme well
worthy the consideration of the gentle
men present. The thought of the cold
winter nights, which are only a short dis
tance in the future, and how edifying it
might be for all who participate to listen
to Jstories which rol from the lips of
those who have fought for us in the
troubled days of yore, which inspire each
loyal citizen who hears them. No objec
tions were raised last night when the audi
ence was compelled to exercise their imag
inations, and it was agreed unanimously
among the said hearers that if any part
of a story should "sound to us," it would
be allowed to pass humorously by, as was
done last night. It was moved by May
or Richey and seconded by O. P. Smith,
that a society be formed before the arri
val of said winter nights, and that asocial
society, consisting of committees on "The
tariff question, the late war, the demo
cratic and republican parties, tne pros
perity of this great nation, tne prohibi
tion party, wnen i was a Doy," and a
hundred ' other different subjects, be
formed. The motien was carried. The
following gentlemen were appointed as a
committee on war stones, with Mr. II,
C. Ritchie as chairman: Messrs. O. P,
Smith, A. Li. Todd. Mayor Kicney, ex-
Mayor Simpson, L. E- Skinner and M. B,
Murphy.
Will somebody who has studied the
subject please explain why women who
are addicted to poftry generally write of
the most melancholly affairs? A good
many of them appear to be depressed be
cause they cannot die without further de
lay and have flowers sprinkled on their
graves. They don't give any good reas
ons for this peculiar yearning, but they
go on as though their highest ambition
is to perish on general principles. Others
bring the sad, salt tears to our eyes by
telling how some young lover went away
to sea and never came home again, and
how Mabel sits by her window, looking
out on the night, and listening for his
footsteps which will come to her ears
nevermore. Then there are little girls
dying while the roses bloom outside.
parents dving, flowers dying, and a gen
eral carnival of death in every direction.
The Journal is willing and eager to en
courage all poets, regardless of age or sex,
bat it would suggest that their rhymes be
stuffed with less tears, death and desola
tion. 'The sad old earth must borrow
its cirth, it trs trrs eaerh cf its orm."
A CARD.
Having this day sold my stock
