In regard to the statement that Ger
many would violate no treaty in acquir

attention to the declaration concerning
the boundaries of the German and Eng

signed at Berlin, April 6, 1880, and said
he thought this agreement precluded
German acquisition in Samoa, and that
she was bound to respect the rights of
that island.

Parties who have an interest in the city
in which they live, would do well to
read the appended proposition. Here is
a chance by which to gain a reputation
for the city which will bo of considerable
value with but little money expended,
which can be raised by contributions.
The object of the contribution would be
to induce the soldiers and sailors of the
state to hold their next reunion here.
Such an honor would be of considerable
value to Plattsmouth, and some iniuential
busiuess men of the city should make an
effort to secure it.:
