Dr. Wither, Drallut, L'alua Block. CITY CORDIALS. The union revival services will be held each night this week at the Metho dist church. A dance will be given at Fitzgerald hall tomorrow night by the ladies of the St. Luke's Guild. Mr. Vf. L. Drown purchased a fine property near the old fair grounds from S. E. Stewart, on Saturday Mrs. Lloyd, of Murray, mother of J. T. Lloyd, of this city, is very ill and is hardly expected to recover. It is surprising to see the quantity of dishes Murphy is selling since he put them down to cost and advertised in the Herald, Something new The popular phil- osopher '-Cotton," who resided in this city for some time, left the other day for Crcston since he learned that the strike is ended. I -As we ao to i,ress we learn that press we Nichols, who wa3 tried today before I'ottonger for waylaying Wiley Dlack, was fined G0 and costs. Immediately after the trial lie put up appeal bonds to appear at the district court - The manager of the city water works informs us that the company will soon lar six hundred feet of sixteen inch pipe from the pump house to the river so that the city will be supplied with an inex haustible supply of good Missouri river water. Mr. J. W. Dickson who had a timber fall on hi hand one ilay last week while in the employ of the water company, is now said to be stiffen 112 much from the results, as the injury Inn developed int a blood poison. At present his condition is considered serious. The union revival services being held in the M. E. church have thus far been rewarded with some success, while the attendance and interest keeps up and is increasing. I he meetings are heartily taken hold of by the Christians interested and much good is hoped for this week. The ball niven at Fitzgerald's hall Satnrdav cveninrr last was a erand sue-1 cess for the Germans. German societies from a number of towns attended and participated in making a . lively time. Some remarkable tumbling was done by the Turners of Omaha, and the tinging rendered by a double quartette of that society deserves special mention. Yesterday's 4 o'clock gospel meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms was well at tended aud as interesting as any fornien one. The earnest and voluntary part taken in these meetings iy tue young men is good reason fpr the increasing attendance and success. Five conversions were the. fruits of yesterday's service, and the testimony of the new converts is an undeniable proof of the good the Y. M. C. A. is accomplishing, in this most im portant direction, in our midst. -r- w..if iT.,i,n, co,.. n,f Aff t c White, a farmer living near Hock Duff-, inquired of him last week concerning a buffalo robe which had been stolen Yesterday Mr. Holmes noticed the report 01 an arrest wuicn had been made in Omaha the other night in which it was stated that a buffalo robe had been found in the prisoner's possession. Mr. II. tele graphed the description of the farmer's robe to Omaha this morning, and re ceived the reply that it answered the de scription of the robe found. Mr. White Iia been notified. Mr. J. W. Coles, father of Mrs. E. Carpenter, left on the flyer yesterday afternoon for his Vermont home. He aud his son-in-law, Mr. Carpenter, had purchased land and commenced building operations at Nchawka, but a few days ago Mr. Coles fell and received injuries which compelled him to throw up the business. Mr. Carpenter and wife leave this week for Vermont, but as yet hi; has not decided on what business course he will persue. The Herild wishes them succes although we are sorry to see them leave Plattsmouth. The criminal who is tried in the of lice of the Justice of the Peace in this city is to he sympathized with for one reason. A man may also feel that his punishment is commenced when he views the"surroundings. If a more disagreeable quarter can be alloted him, it is beyond his imagination, and the majority of the prisoners who are compelled to spend a few hours there while on trial, think they are undergoing the severest penally for their crimes while there. CY-tirs are a curiosity in the place, and the 11 ver swe;)t dirt which accumulates from on j day to another will shortly do the service of chair; if properly piled.

Several Charges will be Preferred. Grant Dunn, who was arrested Satur day afternoon last on a charge of forgery, is the brother of Mr. I. II. Dunn, of this city with whom he has been living since coming to L'lat'smouth. lie came to this city shortly before Christmas from his Minnesota home, and since his arrival has followed up various kinds of em ployment. As he acted as airent for a 1 time for fruit growers, it is supposed he became acquainted with several of the men whose names he forged, in this way. One day last week the boy forged a note on Mr. George Wiles, a farmer living a fevv nijies west of the city, and succeeded -m tirttWjng forty-five dollars from the r'ass Countv Dank. Mr. Patterson did not suspect the note of being a forgery ,Ccause the boy told him he had received it as payment for work he had done, He made the notes payable to W. C. Williamson, endorsing that name. Sat- urday he presented the following notes at the Firtt;rsational Dank, but as JUr, l'crt Pollock, to whom they were handed, noticed they were all made out in the same handwriting, immediately suspected that they were forged notes. They were all dated Jan. 17th and made payable to W. F. Smith: There were four of them, the fir.t one bearing the name of W. C. Ilolx.-rt.-, for $ 100; the second, A. D. Dtispauc, $ 40; third, W. C. Williams, $75.50 and the fourth, F. McCourt, $55. The notes were not made out properly as the amounts were put in figures instead of being written on one line. Dunn deposited the notes there for collection, as lie stated, but wished to draw the full imount on one of them. Mr. Pollock informed Mr. Patterson of the Cass County Dank, and learned that the fellow answered the same description as one who drew $15 there on Mr. Wiles name. A wairant was immediately sworn out tnd Dunn was arrested. He was ar raigned before Judge Russell where he made a full confession. Five hundred dollars bonds were required by the court to hold him over until the next term of district court, but as that amount was iot raised, he was placed in jail. I. II. Dunn, his brother, had not heard uf the arrest until he came down town Saturday night, and wondered why he 'sad not been home to supper, lie was very much surprised to learn the facts in i he case. He visited him soon after learning of the arrest and when he entcr- . d the jail and called to the young man, who was lying on a concn in tue cage, 'ie received no answer, but after calling lis name several times he came to tte bars. When asked what he had done,he replied that he had got himself in trouble. When asked why he had committed for gery, he answered that he had been hard up and wanted iiKney. During the con- vers '.tion, he evidently repented his rash act. a he 3hed tears like a child. He is afraid to let his mother learn of his ac tions for fear that it will break her heart. The shortest sentence lie can a receive under such a case wiH be a few years, at least, in the penitentiary. The Boston symphony ulub. The opening entertainment in the star course ot the l. M. C. A. occurred last veiling when the Boston Symphony Orchestral Club gave their concert at the city hall. A large audience greeted them despite the tact thai the opera house was also well filled wi h other at tractions, and a rare treat to music lovers was rendered. The opening number, a serenade by king, was plaved m artistic md pleasing manner. The tlute solo of .Vdolpii Durose was well executed and jvoked an encore. Miss Elsa Clark Cushiug, the prime donna soprano, saug the Jewel Song from "Faust" in splendid style. She possesses a magnificent voice 1 1. ? A ana wnen later in me evening sue sang two other selections she was accorded an enthusiastic encore. T.ie violin solo by Willis Xawell was one of the events of the evening. lie has excellent command of the instrument the quality of the tone being ric'i and mellow. He is one of the finest violinists that has ever appeared here. The other ! soloists were Messrs. Stoelzer and Roth who played on the viola and 'cello re spectivc-ly. The former's selection was a composition of his own, and the rich deep tones of his instrument were yery a a a mi pleasing to me ear. 1 ne same may also be said of Mr. Doth in his 'cello playing. Tiie committee in charge of the concert are to be congratulated for securing such an attraction for their initial performmc. Ilolyoke Democrat. 1 lie Uoston bymphony cluo will give an entertainment at Fitzgerald hall on Thursday evening next, Jan. 24th, under the auspices of the ladies of the Presby- teri in church and the Y. L. R. R. A. The following phrase was given to a young man who was not posted on the German language, as a pass-word which would admit him to the Turners ball Saturday night. As the tellow was desirous of making his way, he accepted and treasured the words as he would a gold mine. He approached the door keeper aud recited: "Ich bin ein esel, or.'"I am a jackass" to which the German doorkeeper replied: 1 don t give a -11 what you are, you'll have to pay ft dollftr to t Jn herc Try Merges for your winters footwear, A Cheeky Individual- An account of an exhibition of cool and unexcelled cheek was related by Officer Fitzpatrick last Saturday nig'd. He had been called to the home of X John McLaughlin Saturday afternoon t arrest a man who had entere 1 tin house while only Mrs. McLaughlin and tv children were at home, and coolly walix ed by them and made his way up stairs, where he found a bed, undressed himself and went to bed. Mrs. McLaughlin could not understand the actions of the man, but understood that he could not be there fram any g -del intention, and she immediately sent for an officer, who went to the house and arrested the fellow. The policeman informed us that the in truder was under the influence of liquor at the time, which accounted for his strange behavier. The man's name is C. A. Rosebrooks and has been employed in the Pacific Junction yards for some time as a switchman. The School Book Question- At present, and when the agents repre senting the different school supply houses are parleying over the matter, is just the proper time for the school board to get in some good work. As well as the readers which have been in use in the schools for some time, there are other books in the various lines which the chil dren are obliged to pay too much for, and by a change in the arithmetics, grammars, etc., while the agents are fighting each other, is an excellent oppor tunity to meet them at almost any price, and by so doing, make a contract by which school children ould be furnished the necessaries at a great reduction from the present " out of the question rate.". Much better rates can now be secure ', and why not make an effort in 'the right direction ?

THE CHINESE IN CONVULSIONS They Believe the Earth Will Be Burned Into Ashes. Tremendous Comet in the Heavens A terrible ball of fire has recently been discovered in the Heavens, and is said to be approaching the Earth at the rate of one hundred and seven million miles per day. Astronomers are somewhat alarmed as to the direction in which it is centered, and tell us that if it does not change its course, it will surely be the destruction of the earth. It is estimated to be twelve times larger than the great planet Jupi ter, which is the largest planet of the Universe. Astronomers tell as it will soon be visible to the people of this con tinent. It can be easily observed by the people of China and it is said that the Chinese by close observation have dis covered nppn the tail of the erreat comet printed in roman letters Georee W.'Vass. the only fccientiflc Jeweler residing In Plattsmouth.
