CITY CORDIALS.
The Uhca company left for Council
Bluff this morning whore they will Iiold
forth this evening.
Platfemouth cast a solid vote of
2,310 against the interests of Cass county.
" She's a hummer. Weeping Water
Eagle Tho Eagle attaches a great es
timate to their village, PlattMiiouth's a
hummer and it looks mighty plain now
that Weeping Water will bo obliged to
listen to her.
The leap year eociuble which will
he given by the " V " at the residence
ef Mr. Wash Smith, tomorrow even
ing, has become the main subject
for conversation among the young
men. They exhibit more uneasiness for
fear of being slighted thn th voung
ladies who nre placed in similar circum
stances. There is a possible chance for
them to attend even if the young ladies
fail to come to their assistance, as the
house will be thrown open to the public
tLat evening and all are invited.
Since the paving of Main street is
about completed it must be about time
for some more of the business men to
commence work on the building of side
walk of some description in front of
thfir business hous-s. The present old
walk does uot rc-ich the curbing stone
within about five feet, hn-l besides pre
senting a very disagreeable appearance,
it is also d uigerou in places. If that
wrk were attended to at once, the im
provement in the app" ir.ince of the street
would b wonderful.
The county commissioners have
securer the contract to till up the creek
on Pearl street between Third and Fourth.
The ground to bo used for that purpose
is hauled from the sldi of the bluff in
tht vicinity on Third streut and as it i.
Ieing cut dowu the handsomer the street
appears. It will be found necessary to
fill up all the old creeks which have been
blocked np. befors the end of next
summer, no doubt, for the stagnant
water with which they are filled will give
great encouragement to fevers.
O'Rourk's dog, of Plattsmouth, cast
its vote for keeping the county seat at
that burg. Down there they think it is
funny, bat it is an insult to the pco-de
just the same. The canine is a very in
telligent one, a ticket was put in its
mouth, which it carried to the darkened
window. The ticket was taken from its
mouth, and a bystander called its name.
Citizens of Cisa county, how do you
appreciate such jokes. The Eayle
admits that the dog bad mora right to
vote than 1,000 men .who did. Weeping
Water Eagle.
The following figures are emblematic
of the classical standing of Plattsmouth
with other places of the same population
and less. The receipts at the opera house
last night amounted to 139.50, while at
York they gave them $350, and Grand
Island, $540, the two last towns iD
which the Rhea company played before
reaching Plattsmouth. If there had
been a clog dance or a minstrel produc
tion of some kind advertised to take
place between acts, we have no doubt
but the house would have been
packed to the doors
Rhea and her excellent company
appeared at tli-j Waterman opera hous
last night in Shakespeare's "Much Art
About Nothing.' Tho house was fairh
large but did not fully reach the expec
tatlons of the management, on such
rare occasion for this city. The audience
showed much appreciation of this granr
production, and the only objection raised
was a slight dissatisfaction on account l
the indistinctness the star-evinced it
speaking English. All who attended
last night showed signs of intense appre
ciation and much admiration of the act
ing and tho costly and handsonv
costumes. If the company were not we1) (
paid, we can confidently say they. wen
much appreciated by Plattsmouth people.
Mr. Waterman, proprietor of tb
Waterman opera bouse, has made ar
rangements to give a complimentary
benefit to the unnager of the opera house
Mr. J. P. Young, on the evening of No
vember 29th, (Thanksgiving night).
Manager Young has secured for the oc
casion, the Andrews Opera Company, u
company consisting of thirty people, with
a first-class orchestra. They will present
the beautiful comic opera, " La Mascot t."
This 'company was only secured under a
heavy guarantee, and as this opera i.
first-class in every particular, there should
lc a good turnout on that evening. The
prices have been reduced to the regular
opera house prices, and as they are with
in the reach of all. and this being th
first opera of the season, a hamper hous
should greet the con: pany. Tee people
hould show their appreciation of Mr.
Young's efforts in securing fiat-class
companies for the season by giving, him
a rich benefit, as this will bo toe first one
ever tendered him.
Celebration at Creenwocd.
Q it kkjj wood, " Neb., Nov. . IS. The
closing political event of the year was
the republican ratification here last night.
There were few yisitors but the people of
Greenwood turned out en masse to wit
ness, or assist in, the final work of the
campaign. The ladiea' club which has
assisted so much during the campaign,
completed its work, and with three rous
ing cheers for the successful candidates
of the country, state and national tickets,
they disbanded. The town was beauti
fully illuminated, and the display of
firewoiks very fine. Many democrats
assisted in the ratification, but hardly
with the same spirit of the old republi
cans, who are wild with enthusiasm over
the success ot the national ticket.

Nebkaska Citv, Nov. 15. Last even
ing a request was received by the chief
of police to look out for five men, sup
posed to be coming down the river on a
flaiboat which they had stolen, together
with other property, at Platts
mouth. This afternoon a boat answering
the description of the one stolen came
down to the pontoon bridge and was
taken in charge by the police. There
were five men on board and they are now
in jail. All the stolen property was re
covered. Woolen Jackets from $1 and upwards

Thursday. November 29, is set apart
by Governor Thayer as a day pf thanks
giving. Plattsmouth will give thanks
to the Dago's, for saving to them the
county seat; yes, the Dago should be
taken to church that day by all means;
don't be selfish dowb tere on that oc
casion, it cost you lots ot money i fei.re
men to do your dirty work, now give
generous thanks for the result. Weep
ing Water Eagle. The Pago cry is all
that can be seen in the Eagle this week.
They accuse Plattsmouth of running in
about 1,500 Dago yoters and make sev
eral such outrageous charges. Should
we admit the sistscent as a truthful one,
we would say that we'hold UQ .edge no
Weeping Water by so doing, and aain
we could not compete with them, as the
entire vote here did not consist of an
army of that class.

The new colored church which has

vill be a morning service commencing
it 10 o'clock, couducted by the pastor,
llev. Mr. Bos well. All ministers of the
lifferent churches are cordially invited
o attend and assist them in the after
noon. Rev. Mr. Boswell deserves
considerable credit for his unceasing
vork in securiog the required amount to
uild the church. He feels very gratefu
t the citizens of Plattsmouth who assist-
:d him. lie labored under every disad
V intage here, but he now takes a great
jride in his work since it terminated so
successfully.
The "grouse" which was shot by a
couple of hunters in some farmers baru
yard a couple of days ago, made an
elegant chicken stew. Some farmers
were lso paid well to allow them the
privilege of shooting at their turkeys.
They found three in one farmers flock
chat would stand still and allow them
an hour to fire away, aud the goose which
they say was wild must have wanted to
lie.
Mr. Will Crehan, who had his head
seyerely cut about a week ago while at
work in the pumphouse at the water
works, has recovered sufficiently from
the injury to be around on the streets. It
was a mincle that he did not meet his
death by the blow he received from a
2x4 board which caught in the driving
wheel and struck him a severe blow over
the head.
