Piratic float convention which is
lielil there today.

S quested to meet at Rock wood hall to
morrow, Friday, at 2 o'clock, to assist in
decorating the hail for the festival.
It id reported that "Doc" Salisbury
is wanted by an old fanner for relieving
liis wagon of a musk melon the other
day. "The full extent of the law" can
be seen in the farmer's eye.
Messrs. James Donnelly and Frank
Carrutli are niovinjj their gent's furnish

formerly occupied by the firm of O. P.

The boys drum corps was out on the
stre?t this afternoon in the interests of
the ball players attracting the attention
of everybody to a large streamer which
was carried before them advertising the
game.
The following gentlemen were elect-
d delegates to attend the democratic
congressional convention which is being
held at Nebraska City today: Messrs.
F. E. White. Henry Ilerold, T. A. Clif

It is reported that the republicans
are working against many odds today in
the baseball match with the democrats.

democrats.
There will be a meeting of the Young
Men's Republican club tomorrow night
at the otliee of Judge Russell. The young
ladies of the Youii" Ladies' Republican
chub will meet at the same place tonight

full attendance of all members of the
clubs is earnestly requested.
A post mortem examination was
performed tins morning by three physic
ians on the body of Robbie Carr.tf It was
ascertained that death was caused by en
largement of the heart. It was.discovercd
that it had swollen to such an extent that
its room for operation was entirely closed,
making it impossible for the heart to
moye.
Several of the prominent politicians
on both sides are more than a little in
lignant today because they were not in
vited to participate in the democratic
republican game. Although some ol
them are up in years and could not run
around the diamond if their lives de
pended upon it, still they are under the
impression that the game would be more
interesting if they had a hand in it. The
rising youug politicians who are a little
!etter posted ou the game, are tossing
the ball today, and the old vets, arc out
of place when they envey them in their
work. The rally willafford them an op
portunity to exercise their most cultivated
talent. We believe, from all appearances,
that the republican nine will hand us in
a big score. The object of the outbreak
is to aid the yellow fever sufferers of the
south.
We cannot allow one of our most
accomplished young ladies to quietly
steal away from the city this evening
without first informing the people here,
who have always, manifested an interest
in her welfare, as to the cause of hersud
den disappearance. Probably only a
limited number of her (tnost intimate
friends were informed previous to this
day on the event which takes place this
afternoon at the home of Judge Yanatta,
but the secret leaked out, and here it is:
Miss May Lathrop will be manied this
afternoon, at the residence of her step
father. Judge Vanatta, to Mr. C. M.
Hans, traveling agent for Max Meyer, of
Omaha. Only a few of the most intimats
friends of the bride and groom will be
allowed the honor of witnessing the cer
emony. Mr. Hans is expected to arrive
on the flyer this afternoon, and as soon
as possible after his arrival the ceremony
will be performed by Rev. II. 15. Burgess,
of the Episcopal church. We lose the
belle of Plattsmouth in this event, but

The Float Convention.
The float convention met at Weeping
Water last evening at 7 o'clock. There
was considerable dissatisfaction expressed
by a number of the leaders of the repub
lican party from the western part of the
county, on tha grounds that there was no
emergency that made it necessary for the
central committee to select delegates to
the float convention from anion: their
own members. Mr. John Watson, a can
didate for float representative from Otoe
county, was present and with the dele
gates from Otoe,, were unanimously in
favor of postponing the nomination until
the regular convention that holds on
Oct. Cth, at Louisville, and on motion of
McKeag, of Elmwood, the matter was so
laid over.
Mr. Newcomb, an Iowa merchant
who had made arrangements to open up
a clothing store in the Anheuser-Busch
building, has abandoned the idea of
coming on account of the death of his
sou, a young man about 21 years of age.
We are sorry to receive the sad intelli
gence, and we extend our sympathies to
the bereaved father.

joy, and brightness. You cannot

t nut ion or the Country Banker.
Country bankers are a very important class
of people. The checks and drafts they issue
are so hedged about with forms aud char
acters that they caunot be raised with a der
rick or forged by a blacksmith. There is in
Chicago a man who probably handles more
of tins rural negotiable paper than any one
else. He deals in a class of literature which
is sent "securely sealed" on receipt of price.
When his advertising bluffs in the columns
of the country press are called, he shows
down a pair of literary deuces, but he rakes
in the pot all the same, smiling to himself the
while at the gullibility of the bucolic public.
They seek something for nothing; he gives
them nothing for something.
The other day he showed a check he had
received in payment for a book which he
termed in his pastoral advertisement "rich,
rare and racy." The check was drawn on a
bank in a small western town of the mush
room era, and it was drawn by the president
of tho bank. It was for $L The signature
was evidently in imitation of that of tho
man who signs passes in a railroad office
which are "not good unless countersigned
by," and across the signature, at an angle of
forty-five degrees, was written tho legend,
"One dollar." . No one could have raised it
or altered it unless he had been a Herrmann
or a Kellar. It was collateral for a dollar
that would have baffled eve an Oberfcampf.
It was "exhibit A" of the caution of a coun
try banker. Chicago Herald.
A Conplo of Clever Trlcfcs.
A healthy looking man horrified our peo
ple a year ago by munching glass apparently
as the average American eats peanuts. He
did not eat glass, however; ho swallowed a
skillfully prepared compositiqa that resem
bled glass, but his punishment is recorded
nevertheless. The glass eater is under the
physicians' care. The exposure of the trick
will lessen the consumption of tho diet that
has brought a trickster to grief and a gruel
diet This imposture is not as bad as Annw
Brown's imposition. About eighteen years!
age a woman living in Wayne county, N.Y.
named Annie Brown, puzzled the doctors.
She professed to be the victim of a snake.
The snake owned her; It was seen in her
mouth, but when- tho doctors tried to get it
it returned to her stomach. Annie made
some money exhibiting the head of the
snake, until she was taken to tho infirmary,
and there ono day a shrewd physician sud
denly choked her and compelled her to dis
gorge the snako, which proved to bo a large
piece of black India rubber that she slipped
down her throat, and then,'with'her ponvul
sive movements, raised up and down. Cif
the two, Annie Brown's is much the cleverest
trick. Tho managers of museums might
revive it now that glass eating is one o the
