What worries a reporter more than a dull day. . Sucl days are the color of the skies and the re flection makes a lasting impression on a newspaper fiend.

An hour's visit to hades could not afford one much more discontentment than to sit for an hour in the opera house and listen to the uproar made by the hoodlums who occupy the gallery. We were informed some time ago that it was the intention of the management to sta tion police in the gallery, but as ini.eh noise as ever comes from there, and last night was no exception. The whistling, hooting and yelping reminds one of an army of the most desperate cowboy?, and nothing can be much more annoying. It is to be hoped the management will take some steps to keep order in the future. What is more perplexing than to run a dozen blocks to catch a train which does not pull out for an hour or so after catching it? This morning -Mr. J. L. Farthing was busily engaged writing in one of the upstairs offices at the . depot, . when about 9 o'clock the Omaha special which he intended to board for Omaha, started to pull out. In great haste he left . Ha desk and fell down the stairs in a way he knew not, and succeeded in reaching the rear coach.

When the gas lights failed to do. service one night last week, the gas man ufacturers stated that the deficiency was occasioned by the freezing up of the pipes, and that during wanner weather such misfortunes would not occur. Such cannot be the case, as the lights some times go out during the warmest weather. It was not cold enough to freeze last night, but still the gas did not give good satisfaction. Electric light would do much better service. "Around the Word in Eighty Days" was played at the opera house last night before an unusually large audience for Plattsmoutb,the receipts aggregating over $lo0. ; The same company presented the same play here last season about, this time. The play did not fully reach the anticipations of many, Jmt they encoun tered many obstacles. The gas lights be came so dim that they were of no service ind the manager of the opera house was obliged to substitute lamps. The acting was not as gooa as on their former visit. A news item which could conven iently be delivered to us by telephone or in a note, would be very serviceable to a newspaper man such dull times as these. Sometimes an occurance which some peo ple think would not answer for that pur pose, would prove a .very interesting item to'somecne. and those .-whe are kind enough to remember the Hehald in this way, will be gratefully remembered.
