The new electric motor line be tween Omaha and Council Bluffs ap parently has a charm for Plattsmouth people, the city being represented there by Messrs. C. II. Smith, L. C.

All per--ms and other kindred associations in- tercsted in the welfare of the society and cause of agriculture generally, are most cordially invited to attend, and with their presence and counsel aid in the work of advancing agriculture in the state. This is the business meeting of the board. As a well dressed young man leisurely sat in the office of Skinner & Ritchie this morning, he apparantly was deeply interested in thought on some subject, when a venerable old gentleman crossed the street in that vicinity in the direction of his office, when all of a sudden an idea flashed across the young man's mind which caused him to ask, " Is that Mr. Russell ? " Upon being informed that it was, h asked, " Is that the place where you get the licenses 1 " We have made arrangements where by we will receive new subscriptions to the Forum with a subscription to the "Weekly Herald for $5.00.

He requested Fred to 6end the sheriff immediately, and he, thinking that a lion had broke loose in the town or a band of outlaws had struck it un awares, started in persuit of Sheriff Eikenbary, but upon learning that he was absent from the city, sought the whereabouts of deputy sheriff Miller, whom lie informed of the distress of his friend at C-dar Creek. The deputy then prepared himself for the worst, attach ing himself to several bulldog guns, a couple of pairs of handcuffs, and all necessaries to face an army of cowboys, started on his way, thinking of the dan gers he might encounter before his re turn nd that he might never return the unkindest ' thought of all. The r ad seemed a long and tedious one as he drove along that cold day while the wind whistled through his whiskers and his thoughts were the 6addest When the deputy arrived at thelonely burg, the darkness was fast creeping but with little trouble ho succeeded in inding the troubled man, who, when questioned as to the source of his annoy - -inco, answered that some ouc had stolen Iu3 (Draper's) pants. Draper is a staunch demtcrat, and nine people out of every ten can guess accurately the quality of the material in democratic pants 6ince election day. Cleveland has made many of his fol lowers wear overalls, and we do not state that this was the only kind Draper possessed but we know of many demo crats in that predicament at present. It is yet a mystery how he navigated with out froinjr to bed until the deputy had tn a spotted the thief and returned the heaviest part of his apparel. Whether he attired himself jo a bed quilt and started in company witu the aeputy in search of the thief, we know not, but the two men, after learning that their victim was enjoying himself at a ball, proceeded thence, Mr. Drbper spotted a pair of pants in the ball room which he recognized as his, when he and the official approached the man who wore a mountain houster strapped to each hip for protection. The officer then asked Mr. Draper if the pants were his and he answered, "They look like mine , "Uut 1 want you to say whether tuey belong to you", lue em barrassed democrat who scarcely knew what he had said or what he should say, then replied: "I dont know, they look like mine." The officer then told him if he would say that the pants belonged to him that he would arrest the fellow, but the deputy was obliged to throw up the job and return home dissatisfied with the fruitless attempt to do his duty. All overalls IcoJc alike, ana we do not con demn the man for not claiming the pants. Moral Mark your overalls. 20 per cent discount on Silk Handker chiefs Mufflers and all winter Goods at S. & C.

Gratton Donnelly, which Hallen fc Hart produced Sunday afternoon and evening for the first time in Cincinnati at Heuck's thearte, achieved a" decided and well -merited success. Seldom has a mus ical f:irce by an American author been fireeted with more laughter and enthus iasm. Form the time the characters were thoroughly introduced the fate of the play was never for a moment in doubt and the interest first awakened was held ip firmer and firmer grasp until the final fall of the curtain. Fred Hallen and Joe Hart have one of the strongest musical companies that has visited Cincinnati. Hallen & Hart have every reason to be satisfied with the talents of these people, which were fully appreciated by the enthusiastic audience last nijlit Applause was abundant and encor s numerous. Mr. Hart as Jollv Todd n is well suited to that character. and bis ability as a comedian was made manifest. His banjo production in the last act was a special feature of entertain ment. Mr. Hallen, as " Jack Plunger, acted, sanr and daneed most effectually and Lis little terpsichorean in the last act was applauded to the echo. Ihecuarm ing medleys, beautiful marches, the superb dancing, and nallen and nart as the drum majors, completely capiureci the h use. The company and play have, scored a triumph, and they will be very snccessiui liprn nd elsewhere, for they cannot fail Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette.
