The corn crop throughout the coun try is reported as being good. The small grain however, is not so good, as was ex pected. The democrats turned out in full force this morning and attended the county convention held at "Weeping Water today. The friends of Mrs. John Barnes, of York, will be grieved to learn that she was thrown from a carriage today by a runaway team and badly injured. Mr. Philip Weyrick of Tazewell county. 111., who is here on a visit, has rented a farm occupied by and will make this county Geo. Perry, his future borne. The delegation to state convention from this county was instructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomi nation of Capt. C. N. Baird for state treasurer. The ladies of the United Presbyter ian church, of Murray, will give an ice cream social, at the church, on Thursday evening, Aug. 23rd, to which all are cordially invited. Thos. Wolf, living north of Union, is the owner of a half-blood Ilolstien calf probably the largest ever known in this part of the country. At its birth it weighed 10$ pounds. F. M. Young, eight miles southwest of town, is building a fine new residence; diuientions, 28x38, two stories. Mr. Young is among the many prosperous farmers of that community. There has been considerable trouble in the Christian church since the resigna tion of Mr. Hampton has become known. A conference of some Christian ministers from abroad was held in the city yester day, and it is reported Mr. Hampton has since abandoned the pulpit. Jas. J. West, publisher of the Chicago Times aad Mail, accompanied by a party of friends, passed through the city on a special car attached t No. 2. last even ing. They were met at the depot by Co. Treas. Campbell and wife and Miss Paul, who accompanied them a3 far as Pacific Junction. Mr. West is an old friend of Mr. Campbell and Miss Paul. The party have been spending a couple of weeks at Manitou Springs, Colorado. --A'two-year-child of Mr. Jake Stulls merits death in a shocking manner yester day afternoon. The little girl's mother Lad been in the habit of hanging a pail of milk in the well each day and occasion ally the child would watch her while in the act. Yesterday the child wanted a drink of milk and went the well, un noticed by the mother, and removed the covering from over the top In trying to pull the pail up, she lost her balance and fell into the well, a distance of eighteen feet. It is thought she was killed by the fall. The mother was al most frantic with grief when she dis covered her child and could get any as sistance short of a mile and a half. They live on what is known as the old Miller A remarkable sensation occurred in this city of the Platte within the last few days in which one of our brave boys was about overcome with the scare it afforded him. The young man takes his meals and rooms at a house on Oak street. In his absence one evening some of his friends quietly made it up among them selves to put up a job on the fellow, mors to test his staying qualities than for any other reason, as he excels as a boaster. A dummy woman was dressed up and put in his bed to await his arrival. The amused crowd waited for him until a late hour when at last he put in an ap pearance. He sat contented on the edge of his bed making preparations for retir ing. The window-b'.ind was fastened back so that he could easily discern any object in his room. When he was about prepared to emerge himself and close his peepers for the night, he was startled to observe the streaming tresses and bright face of a woman. He never Cott-on, and in an excited state of mind rushed from his room, inquiring for a match. None of his friends in any of the up-stairs rooms could find a match for him. He then passed swiftly down the stairs and rapped on the door of his landlord's room, exclaiming: "Mr. A ! Mr. A ! Have you got a match? What woman is in my room? If you put any body in my room I want to know who it is' lie insisted on Mr. A accom panying him to the room. The landlord opened the door and walked in, followed by the terrified one. When the fellow looked over the shouldcr.of his landlord and discovered the truth, the relief and Surprise coming in contact on his nature about foundered him. He baa threatened to leave town If the bova wnnVl nnnui t hoax A House for the Habitual Drunkard. To our knowledge this subject has never before been introduced to the pub lic, and for what reason we know not, and cannot refrain from expressing surprise, when the daily demand for such a place must leave an impression on the minds of all who may walk the streets and wit ness the degraded state of humanity in some cases. Men, young and old, who have, by iu ccssant indulgence in taking too freely such an erroneous step, habituated them selves to the evils of liquors, and are now unable to take care of themselves, are left uncared for by many who are direct ly interested in their welfare because of their evil habit. Suchjnen still retain a chance down in their breasts which would, if an opportunity was afforded when these men are made aware of their wreck Ickhdcss, be taken advantage of and they would still be men and come to the front as resectable people. As long as they are left to themselves and so many temp tations arc daily set before them, they will never take advantage of that oppor tunity. When the people of this country realize the fact that they can still do something for their friends when in such a state of helplessness, they will be more cgre to give an assisting hand and help in the good we are about to speak of. The citizens of Plattsmouth, or any oth er burg, who 'are directly interested, should petition the men who represent us at the capitol, to build houses or work houses in certain parts where those men could be kept and employed. When a man would apparently become so help 1 -S3 that he would become of no use to himself or anyone else, that is where he should go if the proper authorities, after being satisfied with an examination, should think it a proper place to send him. If those men who are now only moder ate drinkers would think of the place as their future home, they would certainly use a little more precaution than any of them do at present. When the men would be confined at such a house for a long enough time to satisfy the author ties that they could refuse a drink when offered to them, they should le set free again. O Such a place would certainly benefit not only the man and his family, but the whole community. Why not some interested person urge the matter i Firemen Attention. The following letter has been received by the fire department: Nebraska City, Aug. 15. 1888. (JhitfFire Department. Plattsmouth. Neb.

The people, within a block were all enjoyins .the melodious strains until a gentleman on a balcony immediately above the par ty extended his head far enough over the side to be discovered by one of the sing ers who immediately took up an obligato solo in which there were about a dozen demisemiquavers and in an excited man ner commenced to sing "Water, water, water, oh, look out for water." The solo was not accompanied as it should have been and the harmonious crowd took a sudden leave while the man on the bal cony tried to explain that he did not in tend to throw water on them and that he considered their sudden departure a slight.
