A party of this city which has been
organized for several years past and
known as the "Illustrious five," which
meets to celebrate the birthday of each
member, will again assemble this evening
at the residence of Dr. R. R. Livingston,
sr., today being his 61st birthday. He
boasts that he feels as well today as he
ever did in his life and we have good
reason to lelieve that he enjoys the bett
of health at this advanced age, as he has
every appearance of a well developed
constitution, and we truly believe he en
joys it as much as anybody. The follow
ing gentleman compose the club and we
feel confident that their meeting will be an
enjoyaWe event. They say they have
five birthdays in a year: Dr. R. R. Liv
ingston, Messrs. George S. Smith, J. I?.
Strede, A. W. McLaughlin and F. E.
White. We have not yet learned the
programme for the evening, but if the
reporter can succeed in attaining the good
will of any of the above gentlemen and
learn the particulars before tomorrow's
publication, it will afford us great plea
sure to have them appear. They make a
humorous crowd and we bespeak for them
success in their efforts to have a good
time this evening.
Among her many industries,
Plattsmouth takes pleasure in boast
ing of her manufacturics, and
among the most prominent are its can
ning factories which are at prcseut sup
plying an extensive demand from differ
ent parts of the country. The reporter
called on Mr. Streight, manager of the
Carruth factory, this morning, and was
shown through the building. Tb:s fac
tory has been worked steadily every day
since the canning season has opened, em
ploying from forty to sixty people each
day. Already this season over 30,000
cans of peas and beans have been taken
care of and within the last two days corn
has been received at the factory. Mr.
Streight reports that the corn and beans
already brought in this season are 25 per
. cent better than was received last year.
The company has raised the price on the
same beans which were sold last year for
72i cents t 80 cents, and they arc still
receiving orders daily for as much ns
they can fill, although other companies
have cut prices considerable. In about
two weeks tomatoes will come in and
that with the amount of corn which gen
erally comes in at the same time will give
them more work than they are able to
handle although the factory is large and
facilities for doing werk, first-class.
This factory is capable of turning out
about 23 tens of corn per day ;vitheu
running nights. The corn, which afford
canning factories in this part of the
country the most work, and which Ne
baska is proud to boast of, is unloaded
into what is called a husking shed wheic
about thirty-five women and girls are
employed daily in husking. Freni there
it is thrown into an elevator which car
ries it to the top of the building where
t wo cutting machines are located. When
both machines are in operation they will
cut from 75 to 100 bushels per hour. The
cutters are fed by a couple of boys, and
when the corn goes through these cutters,
it is cleaned from the cobs and drops
into a receiver and the cobs are carried
through. The corn is then carried by a
conveyor to what is called a silker where
it is cleaned and after cleaning is sent
through a canfillcr which will fill about
J 300 cans per hour. When the cans are
filled they are set in trays and put in an
exhaust box which is filled with hot
water. When the air is taken from th
cans there they are taken to the caontr'fr
The Clanwood Rally.
The Young Men's Republican club
met last evening at the county judge's
office and accepted the invitation of the
Glenwood club to be present at a rally
there on the evening of Aug. 15th, pro
vided the proper arrangements could be
made to go over and return the same
evening.
Tho following committee were appoint
ed on transportation: John A. Davies,
Wash Smith and II. C. Ritchie, and they
were instructed to take the necessary
steps to accomplish the end in view.

Sioux City's Famous Exoposltion
Building On of the Finest Combi
nations of the Handiwork of Na
ture and Man.
From the Sieux City Tetegrani, Aug. 4.
In all that has been written of Sioux
City's famous Corn Palace, in whatever
ligh:it has been discussed, the predom
inating thought of all who have seen it,
has been its surpassing beauty. No cut,
no photograph, no pen picture nor dis
cription can give an idea of its absolute
brightness, uniqueness and beauty. The
wonderful combination of green and
gold, of orange and yellow, were never
equalled in the artistic work of man.
And herein, perhaps, lies the chief charm
of the Corn Palace, i.nd that magnetic
attraction which brought thousands of
people from long distances to see the
Palace of 1887. and will bring hundreds
of thousands to view the Palace of 1888;
for it is the glorious work of Nature,
supplemented by the cunning handicraft
of man, which serves to delight the eye
and send the blood boundmg more joy
fully through the veins at tight of such
marvelous splendor. The old saying
that "God made the countiy and man
made the town," may without profanity
be paraphrased in speaking of Sioux
City's Corn Palace God and man
worked hand in hand in its building!
The glories of the Corn Palace, how
ever as far as have been described, tire
necessarily in the past tense. The Corn
Palace of 1887 was grand, beautiful, in
spiring; in the light of experience and
increased enthusiasm, the corn Palace of
1888 will be incalculably more grand,
more beautiful more inspiring. It will
be built on a grander and more elaborate
scale; it will contain all the good and
successful features of the Palace of 1887,
tagether with all the new effects which
experience and the taste ot its architect,
builder and decorators can sug
Aside from its significance as an example
of the boundless agricultural resources of
the Northwest, it will have a refining and
educating influence; it will be a thing of
beauty and a joy forever to all who see it;
it will go far toward proving to the world
that the people of the west have a gentle
and artistic taste, not the less gentle
ana artistic because we are near to Na
ture's heart.
The Corn Palace will open September
-l and will close October , 1888. Spec
lal excursion trains at low rates on all
railroads. Special amusements and at
tractions each day. The whole world is
invited.
A young man who descended from
poor but noble parents, stepped into the
book store of Mr. J. P. Young within the
last few days, apparently on no particular
errand and just desirous ot looking
around. While he remained in the store
he seemed to be anxious to relate some of
his thrilling experiences and his victims
appeared agreeable to his desire and
waited for developments. He said that
he had been born in the old country and
had only recently taken up hi3 abode on
this side of the briny. He had lived in
some of the large cities in this country
and the last one he had been in he had
been badly treated. He said that a coup
le of roughs had followed him one night
and in order to escape he entered a three
story building and climbed to the roof.
When he reached the roof and looked
over the side of the building a cannon
was hred at him, the ball striking the
side of his face. After completing sever
al more yarns of a similar nature he asked
for a musical instrument and when ques
tioned as to what kind he wished to try
he replied: I can play any kind, but
when them acordeons is so near ter yer,
nana me over one of them. I used to
niftnnf artnrfi tlipm in tha nA rnnntru v
...
He got his fists attached to the instru
ment and tlieu came the tryins moment.
The first odeal, which lasted but for two
or tnree seconds while he sounded a few
notes, was endured by the audience, but
when they realized that he was only tun
ing up and making preparations for the
pursuance of an instrumental solo, the
crowd dispersed, one seeking solitude at
the back of the shop, another takins his
exit by the front door, while the reporter
did not wait to see in which direction the
remainder escaped, but looked out for
t.r in. i .
iiiuisuii. , iien tne accordant amuse
ment to the celebrated nincompoop was
stoppea in some way by the proprietor,
the crowd was called back for the pur
pose of making an examination of the
intruder. His cheek where he claimed
the cannon ball had struck was found to
be without a dint and as hard as a rock.
A CARD.
Ilaving this day sold my stock
of Hardware, Stoves, Tinware, etc.,
to Messrs. Brekenfeld & Weid-
e
man, I would respectfully and ear
nestly ask that all those in my debt
come forward promptly and settle
their accounts; as it will be neces
sary lor me to close up my business
as speedily as possible before en
gaging in other pursuits. I also
take this occasion to thank the
public, both in the city and county,
for the very liberal patronage giv
en me during the time I have been
engaged in business here, and hope
the same will be extended to my
successors. JNO. Ii. COX.
