Tlie white cap order is making itself notorious in this city. A good number of young people of this city attended the masquerade ball trbich was uivcu at Louisville last night. We received last evening a valentine in verse on liro. Sherman of the Journal but for certain reason we cannot publish it A reporter "plays in hard luck" when he writes a man up to the queen's taste and then gets a setting out for his trouble. J. W. Love, of Fremont, at one time principal of the public schools here. in in the city today. lie is now one of the "monicd men" of Fremont. "J A very pleasant time was spent last night at the home of Mr. C. M. Wead. Singing and card playing were the order of the evening. Very inviting refrebh mcnts wero served.' Mr. J. II. Ritchie, who has lived in the city for several years will move -his family to McCook where they intend to make their permanent home. The fami ly will be missed much by our citizens. No. 2C ran into the rear of No. 24 this morning at Ashland and caused con siderable damage. Engine 184, which pulled train 20, was derailed and the , waycar at the rear of train 24 was badly smaahed up. The dealers in valentines yesterday reported a brisk trade. More than the usual number of francy valentines -were disposed of and tho chromos also had a good run. It is lots of fun to send them, tome people think, but when a beauty which is supposed to represent them and shows up their faults which other people see, it generally sets them to thinking a a little. Th voting for the most popular man in Plattsmouth was hotly contested at the fair last night. Dr. T. P. Liying ston secured the prize a beautiful oil painting by a large majority. He re ceived 1163, Mayor Richey 849, Joseph Gilmore 31, S. Barker 52 and Doty f. Total votes cast J2 102. Each vote was sold at 10 cents. A true likeness of our esteemed sen ator of Cass County, Mr. XL D. Polk, and kuc simile ot his pledge to. support submission, can be seen in this morning's Omaha ITerald, accompanied by a brief history written by the Herald's cor respondent. We consider it "The un- kindest cut of all," and we are waiting for a rumor that another daily will soon " be started in Omaha to take the place of the Herald.

Con- saltation free. Instinct in Brutes. Few things are more wonderful than the instinct that guides the brute in the choice of its food or medicine. In India the uiuo goose, when bitten by the dead ly corba, is said to seek among the grass for some unknown herb or substance which it swallows and is thereby enabled to counteract the effect of the pion. Man, when his system is deranged by the accumulated poisons engendered by con stipation or a sluggish habit of body, should seek relief in Dr. Pierce's Pleasant I el let 9, which will at once establish a permanently healthy action of the liver, stomach and bowels. 111 Dress Goods !
