Pat ton, who received the first prize a S20 suit of clothes from A - "Joe," for b::iiig the best guesser on his beans, has expressed himself a3 being well pleased with the prize received. The farmers in the country surround ing Plattsmouth report great loss by the dying off of their stock. Some farmers have suffered the loss of several head of cattle, and others have lost all their hogs by the cholera, which is prevalent among them. We are in receipt of a handsome il lustrated catalogue of field and garden seeds from Jas. W. Bouk, Greenwood, Nebraska. The book is as neatly arrang ed as any we have seen from the eastern houses, and is a good indication of a first- class assortment. Kendall and his "Kids" will amuse you at the opera house next Tuesday night. Don't forget to secure your tickets in advance for there will be a rush at the door and box office, for Kendall can make you laugh by looking at you and uot saying a word. There is a capitalist in the city today whose name we were unable to secure, negotiating with the business men of the city in view of locating an industry in Plattsmouth which will cost about $60,000. Not less than one hundred men are to be employed. Let Jthe good work go on. Col. Guy V. Henry, who is to lecture next Tuesday evening at Rockwood hall, will deal largely with the most recent of our Indian wars. As he was a partici pant in several of the campaings he is competent to treat of the subject. Be cause of his position on the staff and of Ids service in the field he is in possession of facts not generally known. A dog belonging to Frank Stander of Louisville went mad one day this week and bit eight of Mr. Stander's cows, two of wh'ch have since went mid; there is no knowing how many dogs or ani mals the dog inoculated before he made his escape. Talk about going to Cali fornia to spend the winter wlten we baye "dog days" in January in Nebraska. Wabash News. The dancing school is becoming quite a favorite resort for experts as well those who are only learning the art. Last night, Fitzgerald hall, whore Prof. Gaynore holds his school, was as much crowded as at any time when a special dance has Iwen given. Those who re ccntly started in as pupils are rapidly advancing and under the instruction they are receiving will probably become as graceful rs any. . f r 1 1 rr i -j-.uessrs. i-eariey ana u lyes, who Je appointed as a committee at the rveution of the Brotherhood held at hmond, to visit all- points on the . - linorton Route for the purpose of in- king the strikers on the course to lie iu the event of a settlement with the co npany, were in the city last night and addressed a meeting of the strikers at their hall. The boys' spirits were j high this morning and they apparently ' received considerable encouragement from the visitor. They were ordered to go to work es oon as the company could Had openings for them. j ROW. Plattsmouth to be Addressed by the Able Leader of tne Nebraska Y. M C- A. The zeal with which Secretary Doth well and President Waterman, and those in terested with them in the Y. M. C. A. wrk in this city, enter into the execution of their plans, has brought the association into considerable prominence and it has won the merited confidence of all Platts mouth. For some time it has been the desire totiave A. Nash, state secretary of the association, in the city tomorrow to address the people, and give the associa tion work; and workers a fresh impetus. Mr. Nash will be in on this afternoon's train from Lincoln and will remain till Monthly, and tomorrow no one should miss this opportunity to hear him; while the meetings for men only promise to be the most interesting vet held. The first service tomorrow will be the men's consecration meeting in the rooms at 8:30 a. in., sharp, and the doors will be locked at S: 15. At 1 1 o'clock, Mr. Nash will address the public from the pulpit of the Presbyteriau church. Being an able bible student and UDdestanding the work he is engaged in, Mr. Nash's tilks are highly attractive, deeply inter esting, and slow to be forgottou; and many remember him - for the excellent bible reading given here last summer. The -1 o'clock gospel service, for men only, will be, as usual, at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, and will be lead by State Secretary Nash. The seating capacity there has b.'en increased to accommodate over one hundred, for a very large attendance will doubtless be had. The musical and song service from 3:4.1 to 4 o'clock will be a real treat. The orchestra having four extra pieces promised, and good siujrcrs to lead. Why Don't He Take a Tumble? The rising young poet to whom we made reference when he contributed a few lines of his raw poetry several days a'(, has labored eacli night since because of the satisfaction he attained in witness ing his name above the emetical pro duction which he sprung on the Herald printers, to again give us a dose from which we are not likely to recover soon As we stated before, the young man is in loyc, and for that reason alone we can account for the affliction brought to bear. The only reason we pi int his "Education" this time is because we may have an or. portunity of securing a profitable sum for damages, as his first and second pro duction has left our press in such condi tion that it has never worked to good advantage since. "The poet" teaches a'school a few miles distant from our peaceful city, and the only way we have to point him out to an annoyed public and the printers, so that they may avenge themselves, is by the tie he wears. We suppose the young lady he is "stuck on" painted the hug;? flower which adorns it with a common, heavy, floor-paint brush, aud it "looms up" for a block distant like a sunflower as a bntt mhole boquet. We have never interfered with his busi ness in any way, but should he continue this course we will be obliged to enter a suit for damages, as about a dozen or more of our subscribers have threatened to "stop the paper" if that man was ever allowed to get his poetry in print again. If our subscribers will kindly overlook this offense, we will guarantee that no such a burst of out landish eyesore attempted rhyme will appear again. If he desires to still fur ther win the affection of the young lady he admires so much, our advice to him would be to "let up" on poetry and never throw anything like his "Education" be fore her. We would say to "the poet" that he has our best wishes for success in that liiic, but the Herald does not wish to pty the penalty which is liable to fall on it for the publication of such memory exp;ndereas his productions. -Please desi -t for the benefit of the Herald, the public and yourself. A Lost Treasure Itegainsd The cx-chairman of the board of county commissioners who, it is said, car ries arouud more leather in the shape of sho -s th in any man within the limits of our city, met with a little misfortune last summer while recruiting in the mountains which deprived him of one of the afore said treasures. The other day the gentle man in (pfsiton received an express parcel from Denver, and upon opening it ft-u id a large overshoe measuring about two or three feet in length, ac companied by a note from a friend which stated that the overshoe had been picked up at Hie foot of the hills near Gunneson, Col., where he had occasionally taken morning walks while there. The sender stated that lie supposed from the size of the shoe that he was the owner and the only man who could wear it. Hi . Quarterly Conference. !r. V (I. Miller, D.

Miss Etta Searle occupies the chair ya- cated uy Miss bchulhof. The life of the professor was a burden to him him this week cause, a surplus of book agents. A new radiator has been placed in the large hall, and it looks as if the board of education was doing all they could to make teachers and pupils comfortable. A change of readers is contemplated in the near future, Harper a readers to take the place of Appleton's, which have been in use in Plattsmouth for about eleven years. The puncipal theme of conversation among the teachers Monday morning was the marriage of Miss Schulhoff. and you could tell from their downcast and sad looks that it was as yet uncertain who would next 1 e called. School opened Monday morning with in attendance of about eiguty-nve per cent, of the enrollment which is a good average, notwithstanding the efforts of Charl s Whopper Sherman to conyey the idea that the teachers were simply talking to the furniture. Teachers would have some respect for the man if he oc casionally would tell the truth. When a member of tneBoston Mu seum company-, Mr. Le Moyne played Launcelot Gobbo to Charles Barron's Shy lock. Tho relations between the two were not pleasant, and Mr. Barron seemed pleased when Launcelot's fine points failed to elicit any response from tho audience. As Launcelot made his exit Mr. Barron, who was standing iri tho wings, remarked. "They don't seem to like your Launcelot, Mr. Le Moyne." To which the reply was: jNo: they don t think it half so funny as your Shy lock.
