yesterday's Herald.
The prospect for a lively spring m
all channels of bussncss seems to be good
and Plattsinouth will, it is hoped, ex
perience a year of ceneral prosperity to
all classes "of people, during 188!.
One of the foremen in the shops yes
terday expressed his thoughts to one of

such a manner as to win his literal disap
proval, and the foreman got the worst of
a "scrap."

The secretary of the Y. 31. C. A. wes
pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon
on enteiing the rooms, to find that some
one had kindly renu mbered him with
some handsome desk furnishings, a
iine double ink stand, paper weight, etc.
Today was so spring-like as to remind
all of that season of the year which is so
near at band, and hearing so many re
marks pissed upou it, and seeing indica
tions for more nights like those of
former seasons, we think a "four-Iicer"
is excuseable.
Dr. E. W. Cook had a severe tall at
the house belonging to E l Morris, last
night. Coming from the house out into
the dark without a light he stepped from
the porch over a basement, and fell sev
eral feet. He was well shaken up and
received a lump on the head.
The Turner's Society of this city will
give a aiask ball on Monday next at
Fitzgearald's hall. The event is looked
forward to with great anticipations, and
will undoubted' be a gian 1 success as
no pains will be pared by the committee
in charge, to make the eent the most
enjoyable for those who attend. . lvr
Last night G. II. Pc.issll "handed ;u
his resignation" as city marshal, at the

tha appointment and continuation of I.
II. Dunn to that o.Tice followed. It is
hoped very earnestly that Mr. Dun-i will

John Cummins, an old settler living

grands a of Junius Brutus Booth and
the nephew of Edwin Booth. He is but
twenty three years of age and is said to

beauty that characterized the youth of
his uncle. His appearance inj Omaha is
considered quite an event.
A copy of the Phoenix, Arizona,
Herald, on our table, is the compliments
of J. W. Dorrington. formerly of Platts
mouth, who is chairman of the council
committee in the Arizona legislature.

Chas. Devere, a painter
soberly held a positi n in the
paint fchop for the last six weeks, has at
tracted considerable attention during the
past week. He - boarded with a man
named Brown, on Peal street. Mr.
Devere was a professional and artistic
painter and came here from Central City,
this state, alone; last week his wife came,
and the firs night there was trouble, and
Saturday Mrs. Devere appealed to the
officers for protection, and was escorted
about the city by one of them. The
trouble seemed to be that they could not
agree, but rather than go to law to be
separated th-y tried to live together, and
yestcrdav, after being at war here for
three days, peace was made and both
prepared to leave the city. Their bag
gage was transported to the- depot last
niirht. but they themselves had not left
up to this morning, but ail seemed to !
right between the two.

and of gretit importance to the health of
the people, and appaaraoce ,'jf J.he city;
that is the one ordering the filling of the
old creek beds which run between Main
and Peal and Vine streets and through
some lots adjoining these streets. The
filling of them will prevent stagnant
water from gathering and prevent the
originating of disease from that source,
and these lots and streets once tilled will
greatly enhance their value and . that of
adjoining proberty, by bringing them to
a grade that they caa be used. . The
work of filling these holes will furnish
steady employment to a large force of
men, and will also furnish a dump for
the dirt to be removed from ona or more
streets through the hills, if opened up.
