tion; Tuesday evening, "How to become
sons of God."'
Tho members 'of the M. E. church
are rtnuesled to meet at the church to-
A
morrow (Tuesday) evening, tor the pur
pose of arranging for a more thorough
organization of classes with reference to
more effective work in the future.
D. W. Shinn, who hus for years been
an employe in the hardware store of U.
V. Mathews, severed his connection with
that business on the first, and he intends
to leave for Cincinnati the first of next
month where he will visit his old home
and relatives.
A regular drunk named Harrison
Graves, was arrested last nirht and
lodged in jail for being drunk and usin
indecent language on the streets. He
was arraigned before Judge Clifford this
morning. His fine and costs amounted
to $'J.75, which he will board out in jail.
Sutton's Double Mammoth Uncle
Tom's Cabin Company will give a grand
family matinee for ladies and children,
price, 10 and 23c, reserved seats on sale
now at J. P. Young's for both the mati
nee and night performances. Don't fail
to see the grand street parade worth the
price of admission to show alone.
"A Dark Secret" is to be produced at
the New Grand opera house in Omaha
every night this week with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday. In the pro
duction of this play the stage is fitted up
o that it can be flooded with water mak
ing a lake of real water with boats, ca
noes, steam launches, etc. Seventy tons
of water are required to fill the - artificial
lake upon the stage and has to be heated
so that a girl can. be thrown from a boat
and not be chilled, iyerytbing in con
nection with the play is produced just as
it would occur naturally.
Mr. J. W. Clark who was thought to
be so near death's door several times,
left for Omaha this morning accompan
ied bv his wife, for treatment. lie was
able to walk to the train by the assist
ance of friends. His appearance on the
street was a great surprise to many, as no
one ever expected to see him leave his
bed again. Although physicians state
that there is no possible chance for a
man to live who is in the last stages of
Bright's disease, (and such is his case,)
Mr. Clark 6till has hopes for recovery.
and believes there is a chance. Al
possible aid has been secured.
There is some talk among the
musical people of this city regarding the
organization of a musical union. The
union would consist of what musical
talent would be available and regular
meetings would be held at the homes of
the respective members. Recitals would
be given each meeting, and new music
would also be introduced so that the
meetings would be very instructive as
well as entertaining. Such an organiza
tion would advance tne members to a
creditable stand when classed with mu
sicians of other cities, and their recitals
would surely be very pleasing and afford
much amusement for spare time.
The constant demand for a means of
crossing the Platte directly north of this
city provides an excellent opportunity
for our representatives from this county
to render good service. v Nearly every
day people drive to Omaha, but they are
obligtd to cross the Missouri here by
ferry, drive to Council Bluffs and cross
the river again, which makes considerable
expense in connection with the trip. Why
are we not entitled to a bridge across the
Platte north of this city ! If the men
who rcpicsent this county do not notice
our interests, a petition would probably
stir them to a sense of their duty. It is
the wish of all that this work should be
done. Farmers who live on the other
side of the river would give us the bene-
fit of their trade if th.-y were provided
- . . -W A . !
with some means lor crossing. 11 must
be clear to all that this would benefit
Piattsmouth and all the country on tLis
side of the Platte.

Merchants of this city have inform
ed us that many of their debtors visit
Omaha occasionally and give the foreign
merchants the benefit of their cash while
they are obliged to wait for months, and
probably foreyer for a settlement.
During the holidays we are told, ladies
purchased goods at Omaha in great
abundance, while the home merchants
who had laid in a large stock expecting
a large holiday sale to Piattsmouth cus
tomers, were shoved aside by their cus
tomers who bad been buying goods on
credit for months past. Merchants who
are treated in this way are expected to
sell goods as cheap if not cheaper than
Omaha merchants. If they receive cash
for their goods they would undoubtedly
sell cheaper. Even if we are obliged to
pay ten per cent more for our goods here
we save more money than buying goods
in Omaha when there is the railroad fare
streetcar fare, hotel bills, etc., to pay.
Notwithstanding all this, if the citizens
of Piattsmouth give the merchauts of
their own city the benefit of their trade
they themselves will eventually realize
much benefit should they remain in the
city, go into business and invest in real
etat. Because a man might bs born in
a stable that will not m ike a horse of
him, and because you pay tho same
money for the same goods in Omaha,
that does not make them a better quality,
but some people believe all in all in a
name.
Mr. S. D. Mayer of this city, and
brother, Chaa. Mayer, of Lincoln, leave
by the flyer this afternoon for New York
City to purchase a large stock of clothing
for their clothing houses at Lincoln and
piattsmouth. They will select the latest
,
styles on the niirket. They will not re-
turn for several weeks as they combine
business with pleasure, and will visit
their old home.

A proposition was received by the
president of the board of trade from a
capitalist, which will be presented to the
the board meeting tomorrow night. The
proposition is considered a rare one ns u
offers a splendid opportunity to the in
terests of the city. The man who wrote
the president of the board,' off er& to erec.
a large paper mill in this city, provided
the land and a suitable location to build
on is douated. The industry will employ
many hands in the manufacture of wrap
ping paper and strawboaid. The manu
factory will consume all the straw which
farmers in the surrounding country can
supply, and would surely be worth secur
ing at any price.
Board of Trade Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Board of
Trade occurs tomorrow evening when a
board of directors will be ehcted and
other business of importance transacted.
Let every member be present.

Henry Allen, who died on Saturday
morning last at the home of Mr. Smaw
ley, was buried yesterday afternoon.
The funeral occurred about 2 o'clock. A
short seryioe conducted by Rev. J. T.
Baird of the Presbyterian church, was
held at the house in tha presence of a
large assemblage of friends whom the
deceased had won during his short stay
in Plattsm -uth. Mr. Baird preached a
very atfectiye sermon, and although un
acquainted with the young man, gained
enough information from the expressions
of his friends to justify him in speaking
of the drceased in the most creditable
terms as a straightforward and upright
man. Among the large number gather
ed to hear the last tributes of respect,
were many railroad employes with whom
the deceased was a great favorite.
Mr. Allen had been employed as brake
man on the B. & M. and had a run be
tween Pacific Junction and Hastings,
under conductor Baron. The home of
the deceased is in Westville, Ind.
Robt. Downing, the great gladiator,
and hi9 company, passed through the city
this morning enroute from Omaha to St.
Joe.

Mr. Ed: Dear sir, As it has been
some time since I have written to
your valuable paper, I would send you a
tew items and I now find myself engaged
n the pleasant but tedious pastime of
gathering a few incidents of the past
week, and if 1 find myself successful
enough to gather such items as will escape
the waste basket I will consider myself
lucky.
We miss our neighbors, Mr. Vallery's,
who have moved to your city, very much,
and especially their two little girls whom
we could see every morning and evening
on their way to and from school.
We learn that Cottonwood school is
not going on right smoothly, but that is
stale news, if the parents would work
with the teacher, instead of upholding
their children in everything they do
(good or bad) I wager the y would meet
with better success. Their children would
learn more; the teacher would have some
satisfaction, and in a short time their
school would rank among the first
being the most desirable for a teacher to
obtain.
Mr. Rustcrholtz, a well known farmer
has procured the right of Mr. Jenkins,
our merchant, to get ice from Lis mill
pond. The ice is of the best quality and.
about thirteen inches in thickness. Mr. R.
has been very busy the past week in
cutting, hauling and packing the same,
We learn further that different parties
will get ice of Mr. J. for packing pur
poses. Mr. J. will also pack a quantity,
Boys, you may begin to saye your
nickles for ice cream, strawberries and
lemonade treats Summer will son be
here and then the girls will be hungry
and thirsty, and I have got but " fifty
cents."
Mr. John Hall has returned to the
western part of the state.
Miss Mollie Snyder has just returned
fom a three months1 visit in Kansas. She
reports an excellent time during her
visit.
Major Hall has returned from Uniyer
sity with the intention of remaining.
The teacher at Turkey Point school is
doing good work and is liked by all her
students; she will probably teach them
annother term.
A yery fine four-year-old black filly
belonging to Sir. George Hall got in the
barbed wire last week and cut a fearful
gash in its left fore ankle. It will prob
ably cripple it for life.
Mr. M. Cathey, from Ohio, is visiting
relatives and friends here. He was the
guest of Mr. Jenkins the first evening of
his arrival, but is now visiting at his
brother's, Mr. James Cathey. Mr. C.
will probably remain with us a while if
he is successful enough to get into busi
ness chat will justify him in doing so.
He is a wide-awake man and ready to
put his shoulder to the wheel at anytime
that an"6pportunity may permit. If he
does not find employment here in the
near future he will probably take Lis
departure for some point in the west He
reports a mild winter and plenty of rain"
