A certain business man of this city,
who recentlv invested in the convenience
of a connection of the telephone wire, is
evidently not yet aware of the great ad
vantage it is intended for. A few days
after an instrument had been tacked up.
when he wished to ppeak with some Jone
by wire, he went to the central office t
do his business.

A couple of lawyers were explaining
to Judge Chapman yesterday moruinf.
why a case that had been set down f
trial, was not ready: " We wired ou
clients yesterday, repeatedly, to be her
this morning, but we are disappointed,
and they failed to get here." " You ha
better rope them in next time," dub
suggested the court, and an audible titter
passed around the court room.

Two young men entered the new
store yesterday which has recently beei.
opened in the opera house building.
One of them had seen an advertisemei t
for the store in the daily papers in whicl
socks were priced at the low figure oi
three cents per pair. He was desirous oi
making a profitable investment while in
yestigating and asked for a pair of then
three cent socks when the clerk replied
that they were sold out. The would be
purchaser's partner remarked to Lis frien;
that probably the ''counter jumper" had
them on.

Agents from the houses of Appletou,
Harper, and Van Anaut, Bragg & Co.,
dealers in school supplies, were in the
city yesterday putting forth their best
efforts to secure the patronage of the
school board. A meeting of the board
was held last night at W. C. Showalter's
office, and after considerable discussion,
it was decided to retain the Harper's
readers now in use in the schools.
A lecture will Itc delivered by Col.
Guy X. Henry, U. S. A., on the habits,
costums, etc., of the American Indians
at the Bock wood hall, Tuesday evening.
January 15th, under the auspices of the
St. Andrews brotheihood. His lecture is
said to be very interesting, ns he is
thoroughly acquainted with the habits
of the various tribes.
A great pow-wow has been made by
the Oiuah;i Herald, and a number of its
feeders such us the Journal of this city,
since that great journal has followed the
example set by the Oui da Bee of deliv
ering its papers at Plattsmouth and west
ern towns by means of a special which is
run from Omaha each morning in time to
meet the flyer here going west. Anyone
reading the Heruhl, who was not ac
quainted with the facts, would naturally
suppose that it was the Herald's own
scheme. That paper has only followed
the scheme and is worthy of no such
praisi', as it bears one quarter of the ex
pense (which is only $7.50 per day) con
nected with the running of the special
which the Bee first started out. If that
loud spouter had uprooted such a scheme,
a red print would not haye been too
brilliant for its o.vn praise, but as it only
follows suit, what's the use of making so
much ado?
Several passers-by noticed a horse
tied to a post in front of the Presbyterian
church early yesterday morning. The
sime parties noticed it at noon and at
uight until about eight o'clock the poor
animal remained tied there. No owner
for the annimal could be found, and
some parties who could not endure the
sight, sought a police officers and had
the horse taken care of. A certain man
said he saw a horse tied in the same
plaot; the nilit previous, and he believed
it was the same one. Evidently, from
the tracks made around the post, the
horse had been tied there for some time,
and when led to a livery stable
sliow.d signs of stiffness. Some time
afterwards the owner turned up, and
after searching for the horse for some
time was directed to officer Fitzpatrick
who had taken care of it. Mr. Fitzpat-
ick informed the reporter that the fel
low's name is Charley Yandervier, and
mat he lives about two miles northwest
f the city. He said at first the man re
fused to pay the boy at the livery stable
lor tii king care of it. He should be tied
t j the same post for the same length ol
time and not be allowed to even smell a
neal duriug that time. Such treatment
would probably teach a heartless man a
lesson that would always be fresh in his
memory.

A good story comes to the front on
Sol ymith Russell. Some time ago he
was playing in the towns along the
Ohio river. There was one place the
advance agent was about to skip; they
! "sad uo theatre, but the people knew
i t Russell's fun making propensities
and were very anxious to have him
i there, and they told the agent they
.vou Id hx up the court house with
stage, curtain and all the necessary ac
cessories if he would come, and so it
was finally arranged.
The night came and the court house
was packed. People crowded in until
it became necessary to bar the doors.
One individual came round rather
late and, being somewhat intoxicated,
became wrathy when he was refused
admission. lie raved and swore and
threatened, and finally in a mad frenzy
went to the rear of the house and fired
a bullet from a revolver through one
of the windows. The shot passed
through an improvised dressing room,
just missing Mrs. Russell, passed
through a door and dropped, flattened
and out of shape, on the center of the
stage .floor. Of course, some excite
ment was created, but Mr. Russell
came forward, picked up the bullet,
assured the audience there was no dan
ger, and the plav went on.
The curtain fell on the last act, and the
comedian came out again and made &
littlo speech. He said he regretted the
little incident that had happened dur
ing the evening and was sorry the
people had been disturbed. He spoke
of tho trips he had made up and down
the Ohio valley and an occurrence
like it. He thought it strange that
such a thing should have taken place
in a quiet little Ohio town. Had it
been on the other side of the river,
where recently that sort of thing- had
been common, it would not have been
so surprising. This was a reference to
the late war, and Mr. Russell said
many things about it that he felt
wouid bo exceedingly pleasant and
complimentary to the citizens of so
loval a state as Ohio.
Mr. Russell was naturally somewhat
surprised that when he concluded, nq
one applauded. Not a sound was
heard but the rustle and bustle of peo
ple leaving, and when he got back of
the curtain one of the citizens' com
mittee met him with a look of intense
amusement on his face and said: 'Mr.
Russell, have you got a small map of
the United States about you!" "Why,
no." replied the actor; "what for?"
"Well, I thought if you had, it woul'4
be a good thing for you to study it.
You made a nice little speech out
there for Ohio, but this town happens
to be in Kentucky." Telling the story
himself, Mr. Russell says that cold
chills ran over him, and visions of
bowio knives ?.nd pistols haunted him
until he and the company had really
crossed to the other shore.' Chicago
