Short-sightedness glasses at the Rid dle house. It is reported that the corn crop is so far advanced now that the expected frosts cannot injure it in any way, and so far as we have learned this season has surpassed previous ones in every particu lar as to the advantage of the crop. Every field has yielded a fine production. The Bachelors club which occupied a room above the furniture store of J. I. Unruh, last winter, is about to be reor ganized. It is reported that they will secure a room in the Anheuser-Busch building. We have not learned what course in the direction of amusement is to be pursued, but this being the leap year, the young ladies should find a suit able location for all of them, and make this year, the last chance until four more rolls around, count, and make it loom up as the most prominent one. For some yeurs comparatively little real estate has been sold for taxes in this county. This spring, however, a company from Iowa s-nt an asrent into this state who purchased all lands in this county, as well as in Douglas, Otoe and some other counties, on which there were de linquent taxes. They also purchased town property. And already the lists are being looked up for this fall so that anything that is offered will be purchas ed. The delinquent tax list will be ad vertised about October 1. The tax sales commence the first Monday in November. - It is rumored that the building on the corner of 5th and Main, owned by Mr. Frank Carruth, nnd occupied by himself and Mr. J. II. Donnelly, will soon be vacated and fitted up for Messrs. S. & C. Mayer, for a clothing store. An extension of thirty feet will be built on the rear and all partitions torn . out. As for room it will make the most complete and convenient store room in the city. The store room formerly occupied by O. P. Smith & Co. and II. M. Gauld, in the Dover block, is being fitted up to receive the jewelry stock and gents fur nishings from Mr. Carruth's building. If, the rumors are true, the changes will improve the appearance of things won derfully. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. W. G. Keefer, proprietor of the har ness shop opposite the postoffice, to re move his family to Wahoo, where they tecently resided. The dissatisfaction ex perienced in securing a suitable residence for the winter is the only cause. He will still retain his business in this city, but he will also pay attention to a harness shop which he has at Wahoo. Why - should this objection be raised to Platts mouth when there are many men here who are amply able to build respectable houses ? It would certainly be a profita ble investment for any of them, as there is seldom a day passes but what people come to this office for information as to where a respectable house can be found. Some of the business men of this burg, who have the means at their command, fall asleep and exist on the interest of their tnouey, while it would be put to good advantage and invested in a waj 4 , which would attract people to remain in the city. -UmPIRE'8 affidavit. i h Deatrioe-Plattsmouth Base Ball Trouble. Beatrice, Neb., Sept. 22. Corres pondence to The liee. In reference to the game of base ball between Thrifts Garlands of Beatrice and the Plattsmouth club, we desire to submit the following affidavit: State of Nebraska, (J age Count v. C ss. Charles C. Price, being duly sworn, ou his oath deposes and says that he acted as umpire in the game of base ball played between 11) rifts Garlands of Beatrice and the Plattsmouth club, on the grounds of the latter, on the 18th day of the present month. That in the first half of the sixth inning, while the Garlands were at the bat, a dispute arose between the said clubs over a ruling of this affiant, that one Abbey, of the Garlands, was not out at first base, it being claimed by the Plattsmouth nine that Abbey was out, unci that affiant's ruling was erroneous, while the Garlands insisted that Abbey was not out and tiiat affiant's ruling was correct. That after alhant made the said ruliug the Plattsmouth nine came in from the field and refufed to go on with the game unless affaut would reverse the said ruling and declare Abbey out. That the Plattsmouth nine and their supporters surrounded affiant and demanded that ulliant reverse his ruling. That after some minutes delay affiant, because of the pressure thus brought to bear upon him, and believing it the only way to insure his personal safety, did reverse said ruling and declare said Abbey out. That upon reversal of affiant's ruling the Garlands refused to continue the game. That both nines remained on the ground the required length of time and until affiant refused to declare the game in favor of cither nine, when the Garlands and their friends left the grounds, it be ing about G:30 p. m. That affiant was thereafter detained on the grounds against his will by the Plattsmouth nine and a number of their frienas until about 8 o'clock p. in., and until afliant agreed to declare the game 0 to 0 in Platts mou tli's favor, upon condition that it could bo shown to his satisfaction that the Garlands left the grounds before the expiration of the required time. That affiant's first decision iu regard to Abbey on first base was correct and the only de rision which affiant has made voluntarily and of his own free will, his reversal thereof being made under duress. That affiant has never unconditionally declared aid game in favor of either nine, and it is affiant's honest judgment that the said name should be declared a draw and all bets be declared off. Th'u affidavit is voluntarily made by affiant in the interests only of truth and justice. Signed Chaki.es C. Price. Subscribed in my presence and sworn to before me this 20th day of September, 1888. Seal Edwin N. Kauffmas, Notary Public. The above named Charles C Price is willing to make affidavit that after he was appointed umpire of this game he was approached by Patterson brothers of the Plattsmouth nine and offered a bribe to throw the game in favor of their club. They also approached II. R. Hinkson, manager of the Garlands, and offered him a bribe to umpire the game and make such decisions as would give them the game. The above affidavit is pub lished to show why the purse put up by the Garlands should be returned to them ind not beheld as it now is by the stake holders. Harry R. Hinkson, , Manager Beatrice Base Ball Club. The above communication and affidavit vhk-h appeared in this morning's Bee has justly created considerable dissatis faction among those who were disgusted by the game spoken of in the communi cation. It is certainly 'a libelous out break and rotten to the core, as any un prejudiced person who witnessed the game will testify. All who witnessed the game perceived the motive of the Beatrice team in breaking it up a3 they did. Without foundation Hinkson, the manager of the Beatrice club, has origin ated this dishonest and disreputable scheme to hoodwink the public generally and leave them under the impression that they were not fairly dealt with here. Wherever this man is known, and some Plattsmouth people say they have had the dishonor of forming an acquaintance with Lnn in times gone by, aud say that wherever he is known such a statement a3 appeared will not entertain a thought for on minute, as his nature is devoid of honesty or uprightness. In the communication a contrary state ment waa shown up of the true state of affairs. In the first place, when he came to the city to make arrangements for the game, hi showed his willingness to sell all his Beatrice friends, by saying that for $103 he would act as umpire and throw tha game in favor of Plattsmouth . He would pay the Beatrice catcher to overlook all rank decisions. As he was to secure the money by betting against this own friends, he was allowed to suit himself about the scheme and no part was taken in it by the Patterson Brothers, as stated. The morning he arrived here with his club, he made the statement to them that he was afraid to throw the game in that way as about fifty toughs from Beatrice accompanied them, and he only expected at first that a few friends would come. He was afraid they would find him out, and Price, who Lad consid erable money up on Beatrice, was chosen as umpire. Price also made a statement that O'RoiirJ; offered him $100 if ?ie w?uld throw the gan. There is no truth iu it. O'Rourk, when he ieajnd thafva bad money on the Beatrice club, offered o stand good for his loss if ho would umpire the game squarely, pro vided he lost his money. Two prominent citizens here, who were standing about 20 feet from first base when Abbey was running,- are prepared to swear at any time that they4 not only saw Sam Patterson touch him with the ball, but distinctly heard him before he reached the base. No violence of any kind was threaten ed Price by the Plattsmouth crowd but he was asked fairly to give a decision. The Beatrice players were the first to pick up their bats aud lcaye the grounds. Hinkson is said to have been manager of the team at one time, but when he threw a game on them, was fired. PERSONALS. " J. B. Strode, of Lincoln, is in the city. Mr. Win.

All who are members are requested to attend, and a special invitation is extended to all young ladies who are not members, but wish to join the club, to be present and enlist their names. Several expressions of dissatisfaction were heard from the "Bachelors" who were defeated by the strikers on Satur day last, the game lasting for ten in nings, with a score of 10 to 11. Mr. Ted Clifford was selected as the umpire, but blood was in the eyes of the "baches," when in the tenth iuning one run was to decide the game, and, as they all claim, he threw it on them. The dissatisfaction was caused by a decision given putting one of the bacoclars out on third. The boys say that the third baseman dropped the ball on the ground and touched the base-runner. "Teddie" declaired him out and could not sec it any other way. New members will be received into the Young Ladies' Republican club to night at their meeting in Judge Russell's office. A good number of young ladies now constitute the club and a large ad dition of names is expected for tonight. Let the name of every lady republican in Plattsmouth be upon the club list.

He frankly tells those whom he cannot help and whatever he says may be depended upon. Those to whom this item is of interest will do well to callon,himat once; this week if possiable.
