Dr. Wither, llrntliit, toiou Work. CITY CORDIALS. Where i the new weakly paper if We arc still awaiting Vol. 1 , No. 1. Sampson occasionally stands for a long time waiting for the mayor. The icemen are now hauling ice that you can see a little farther into than the first lot. With a handsome church and $2.),000 hotel, Plattsmouth should boa- a boom. Mr. Sherman did not test the ire this morning, and eyen turned on his friend when they insisted that he should A large number of high grade trot ting horses passed through the city yes terday afternoon from California, on the flyer. Tho game of marbles is again occu pying the attention of the boys, and tlicy are already knuckling down to the ground. A prohibition slang and pun law would doubtless be more beneficial t more people than to prohibit the sale' of liquor in this city. The only ice which the boys c:in fm to skate on here will serve for two pur poses. It is too much of a sandy com plexion to suit most people. We would recommend a continua practice with hard gloves for Mr. Slier man, as he is liable to be called on at any time to defend himself us best he can Since tho young ladies were so suc cessful last year in many ways by hold ing balU, why do the bachelors not fol low suit wheu the opportunity stand open. Mrs. M. Shannon, who has been yistin relatives and friends at Leadville an.'. Denver, Colorado, for some time, return ed to Plattsmouth by the flyer yesterday afternoon. Messrs. J. V and Henry Weckbaeh. accompanied by their families, left thi - morning for Omaha to attend the TOtl anniversary of their mother'3 birthday and join in a grand family reunion. Plattsmouth contains many kickers The merchants kick among themselves because some of them trill go to Omaha to purchase goods merchants in a differ ent line carry at home. Who is to blam for all the trouble? The proposed location for a cliurcl on the eastern portion of the high school lot is a very desirable one. An ordinary building, if nicely finished, would pre sent a very attractive appearance t any portion of the city. The propose church will cost, if built, about $1",,0(J) and for that money on the lot abov mentioned a building could be erected which would be very attractive. Co and take your children to sec tin "Matinee" on Saturday afternoon n: the opera house, where you will see a fin performance of " Uncle Tom's Cabin." Good music, and singingby a company of Z'y people. You can reserve your seat. for 10c for children and 2"c for adults For the night performance prices are 2" C.'j and Qc. No extra charge for rtserv ing After Sunday next the flyer wind passed through this city each morning at ":10, going west by the main lire of tli B. & M., will run by way of Omali- Tiiis will knock the life's enterprise of running a special to Plattsmouth each morning, in the head, and leave us with out the accommodation of a 9.0 train t Omaha. Although many will gruinbl over this information, the merchants wil. dance for joy over another obstacle ir. the way of thr-ir customers who occasion ally go to Omnha for the purpose of purchasing goods. Mr. Chas. Lewis who was hauling ice yesterday, narrowly escaped i neck break when thrown from his wagon bj a runaway team. When he drove up to the ice house at the rear of the American Exchange to unload his ice, a block slip ped from the chute between the wagon and ice house and fell against one of tlx horses. The team immediately took fright and starting down the all.y at a rapid pace, Bwung the wagon around when tlsey reached Main street, throwing the man and the load of ice into the street. It is a miracle that the man escaped without any serious injury as he plunged headlong from the wagon among the ice. The noise and spectacle made by the shilling of the ice into the street, scared another team which was standing in front of Poisall & Spencer's, which took down Third street and run till they were stopped. The team was owned by John Cirnes. The firt runaway team was stopped, in front of the po.-toflice, No damage excepting the scattering of all the loose attachments to "the wagon, was done. Joe the One Price Clothier is connected with four of the largest retail clothing i. ; Tllinr.: and Missouri, which nablea him to buy cheeper than an? of his competitors.

What He Diet and Did Not Do- He has never denied the fact that he wanted to enter into conspiracy with another paper to rob the city. lie has never denied the fact that he made out two bills for one piece of work and swore to both us being just and cor rect when the difference between the two bills amounted to 'Soft. Oil which one did he perjure himself? When he robbed the city of $1."0, why did he pay it back if it was a just debt? In paying back, is it not an acknowledge ment that he stole that much. Joe's bo-s' and children's clothint department will be the nic-st in the state of Nebraska. Look out for his Grand Spring Opening. 5-1 w Dallas the backstop for the Beatrici club last year, has been fortunate enough to be favored with an opportunity to siiri with the O malms for next season. W don't wish him any misfortune, but w ire p' eased to know that the umpires o) rof ssional teams have the privilege ot muzzling such faces as his when thev open too frequently. It will be well rem 'in'ier-'d by those who attended tin Beatiic-Pla tsmouth g um s here last summer tint his mouth and kicking ability made him very prominent. Xow. if ) n dm wishes to st ir out her nin;- with a-io'her prominent winTlbag wlio-e ibiii-y no one will dispute, ami they are at a loss to know who to select, we will gladly propose tin- nuns of ex-captain Strock of the Council Bluffs nine, who is also considered a bird " in base ball circles. Should these two men be secured, the Platts mouth boys will charter a train to Omaha orcatiouallv. Joe's line of white fancy, silk and :1 mn -1 shirts will be the grandest and finest eyer brought to Plattsmouth. Bids were received yesterday by the county commissioners for the county printing for the ensuing year. Bids were tendered from the Plattsmouth Hkkalp, Wabash News, Weeping Water Eagle, md Weeping Water Republican,. The commissioners considered the bid of the Weeping Water Eajle the most satisfac tory in every particular, and consesquent- ly awarded that paper the work. All the bids were very close. Tiie Eagle, agreed to print fifty copies of the docket it twenty-five cents per case, all over fifty copies at ten cents per copy. Treasurer's statements at 2 cents per line; road notices at half rates and all other work gratis. Joe will surprise you on his grand opening of spring and summer goods. Nothing in his line that Joe won't be able to show you goods that his com petitors won't dare offer to the public. Joe's low prices will m ike his coiupeti- or-i wonder how h . can sell so low.
