All parties intending to receive New
Year's callers are requested to -send their
names to this office, so that the young

Several handsome ornaments have
recently been presented to Secretary
liothwell by ladies interested in the wel
come appearance of the Y. M. C. A.
rooms, which add to tho cheerful sur
roundings. Such gifts make the rooms
more home-like and ore very acceptabh .
Mrs. Horace Evans, of Council
Bluffs, retu-ned to that city last evening
from a few days visit with her uncle's,
Judsre Chapman's, family. Mrs. Evan?
is the daughter of the late J. "W. Chap
man, of Council Bluff and was born in
Plattsmouth during the territorial days
of Nebraska.
Many would consider the erection
of a toboggan slide and the provision of
all necessaries for such an amusement a?
toboggan sliding would be a safe and
profitable investment here. As it would
b3 a noveltv in this city, all lovers of
coasting (and there are many) would pay
a good price for it
Much interest is being awakened
among the active Christians of this city
to have an effective revival started in
Plattsmouth. A meeting will be held in
the Presbyterian church tonight and all
desirous of having the Word preached
earnestly in Plattsmouth this winter are
requested to be there,
Those desiring to have New. Years
cards printed, should call and select their
cards immediately so that we will be al
lowed time to order. The Herald has
the finest samples, this season. Those
who wish cards must not neglect order
ing them immediately, as they will be
unable to get any New Years day or the
day before.
Mis9 Hattie Chapman and her cousin
Miss Bessie Matson, of Kossuth, Iowa,
went cast on the flyer last evening to
spend the remainder of the holidays at
the home of Miss Matson. The youug
ladies have been spending their Christ
mas in Plattsmouth, and resume their
studies at Parsons College after New
Years. Quite a number of yonn people
were at the depot to see them off.
Ilallen and Hart's "Later Od"
which was given at the Waterman opera
houe last night, proved to be what was
claimed for it a farce-comedy, full of
fun, and performed by an excellent com
pany. A small but well pleased audience
witnessed the pioduction. Fred Hullen
and Joe Hart, in the principal roles, sus
tained their reputations as clever come
dians, while the singing by different
members of the company was unusually
good. The quartette, and solos by Mr.
Jlcrnard Dyllyn, are worthy of special
mention. The company, although they
were obliged to faco a small house, played
their parts well, and should they
Tcturn, there could be no doubt about
them erettinir a full house.
Mr. Joe Klein, who is better known as
( Joe, the One Price Clothier " has about
completed arrangements for his great

curate number of beans, or the nearest,
contained in his jar. He will pay the
. whole expense of the occasion, which
will be considerable, as he pays for the
use of the opera house, the services of
the band, etc. The jar was filled and
sealed by two disinterested parties, so
that no mortal knows the number con
tained therein. Two ladies and two gen
tlemen have been selected to do tho count

An Injustice.
It was reported yesterday by some per
son on the streets, (for what purpose it is
unku nvn) that the play ''Liter On'' was
.1 poor "rotton and rockey'' show, which
I suppose was one reason of the poor
huse they had. I will leave it to those
present if the play was not fully up to
the standard, and just as represented? It
is my endeayors to give the public only
first-class attractions, and shall never
with my knowledge let any company
play in the opera house, to which you
are not perfectly safe in taking your
wives, daughtors and best girls. I have
some of the best attractions coming that
vill ever be seen in Plattsmouth, but if
ur theatre goers expect to see such at
tractions they must give them better
patronage than a $115.00 house, which
"Later On received last night.
