The city council of Neligh, Neb. yesterday revoked the licenses of the snlnon keeners in the citv. by order of Judge Powers, in the lato mandamus jirocccdings. .V hunting party of, W. D. Jones, A. W. White, J. P. Antill, W. II. Baker, J. M. Johns and Tom Parmele wcut out to Platte bottom this afternoon to try their luck on the getse. A young man from Weeping Water who has been in the city for several days today remarked, Plattsmouth booms, he is progressing steadily." Ye. she is. and a good building boom is generating. - Many of the business men wear a cheerful prosperous look, which seems to come from a lively spring trade. PJatfe moutli is getting ready for a spread this summer. Much building and improve ment will be done, Five members of the Plattsmouth dramatic club have volunteered their services to produce a light comedy in connection with Mr. Derrick's concert. The entertainment will be given at the opera house next Tuesday night. The play of "Spartacus" was last night presented to a large audience. Much appreciation of the play actors has been expressed today. Considerable comment is also made on the scenery a? being first-class, and plenty of it. Jude Russell, being concerned in the welfare of all social communities, and with a desire to tee all men happy, today issued marriage licenses to James D. Durlin and Maud Nichols, of Elm woodland Mr. T. J. Ferguson and Mrs, Lutitia Rush, of wabash. Those brown bugs which made their presence greviously general until a late day last fall, are appearing on the sunny side of some of the buildings as tldck as ever. It seemed they crowded into cracks and remained dormant during the winter, which was not severe enough to kill them. Little Leo Pepperburg was a caller at the Herald this morning, and a very cheerful countenance it was he wore, too, He carried a fine toy engine in his arms and remarked, '.We're gcing to run our house by steam the lightening express, we call it." We were then treated to an exhibition of parlor railroading. Leo said hewaa six years old today and the '"lightening express" was a present. Sheriff Eikenbary had on a new de puty yesterday, Mrs. Eikenbary. They went up to Lincoln in the morning and returned on the flyer with two women from the asylum there, Mrs. Ward and Mrs English. One was s nt to the asylum in 1879, tha other in 1SS4, from this county. Being crowded for room at Lincoln, and these not being serious cases, they were returned to Cass county and will be kept at the poor farm. The Herald readers will remember the case mentioned about two weeks ago about the abduction of children named Hubble from the homes of Mr. C. M. Holmes, and Mr. Joshua Gapin. The children were placed there by their "grandfather, Mr. Shepherd, after the death of their mother, and were induced to leaye and go to Iowa to their father by an elder brother, but were brought back by Mr. Holmes. Mr. Hubble, yes terday had a writ of habeas corpus served on Mr. Shepherd to secure the custody of his children. The trial was held this afternoon before Judge Russell. Mathew Gering for plaintiff and Byron Clark for defendant. OBITUARY. Died: This morning at 8 o'clock, Henora McVey, aged 7 years, 3 months, daugter of Joseph J. McVey. Cause of decease was croup. . The funeral will occur from the home of Mr. McVey on North Sixth strret, to morrow at 11 a. m. There will hi no service at the house. Friends of the family will attend without any further notice. A CITY BUILDING. Would It not bo a Cood Investment for Plattsmouth to Erect a Cood City Hall? Nowistho Time, For several tears, at times, the erection of a t;ood city building has been talked of, and during the last few months the question has frequently been asked in our hearing, "Why don't Plattsmouth build a city building!" It seems the matter lias neyer been taken up nnd pushed through, but among the leading citizens, as fur as it his been discussed. there seems to !e a hearty desire to see such a building erected. The benefit of a properly arranged city building would come from these sources To furnish office with vaults, for the use of city oflicials, wherein all city records and property can be safely kept and be accessible to, at any time; to sup ply a convenient and properly arranged meeting room for the city council; to afford a city hall, in which to hold meetings of public interest, fire companies etc.: have a city jail, secure and safe. and thus all the city property, offices, jail, hall, etc., could be brought into one building, and city officials could have a headquarters, and there would be some system about the manipulating of muncipal affairs. And again, a respectable city building in lMitttsniouth would be a mark of thrift and public enterprise, which would be quickly observed and put down to the crrJ't of this city, by men of enter prise visiting here,- whereas, the loose and inconvenient manner in which it is now necessary to conduct city business is ttothing to be proud of, and is con stantly a matter pf unfavorable regard to a victor who lovea nubile ?usu ana aood municipal arrangement. A good city building would, we believe, be source of much benefit to this city. The fcpfiog ?s now Rapidly advancing and it is so, that such building shall be erected in.- Plattsmouth within one year, now is the time to begin to plan, for invariably the executing of public work is slow to gef in shape. RSVNAi-S. C. L. Coleman was in the city las night. Chas. and T. J. Ferguson, of Wabash were in town today. II. F. Tailor, represented Liberty pre cinct in town today. Nebraska's supreme judge, Mr. Max well, was in town yesterday. Mrs. Hewitt and child are visiting at her father's, Mr. Ben Hemple. R. B. Windham and wife were passen gers to Gleenwood, la., this morning. Win. Cushing, of the Citizens Bank, was a west-bound passenger last night. Miss Viola Nahrung, who has been visiting in this city, returned to Culbert- son this morning. Miss Exa B. Critchfield departed this morning for Weeping Water, which will be her future home. Mrs. W. J. Hesser was called to Lin coin this morning on account of the ill ness of a grandchild Louis Foltz,of Weeping Water, and A. B. Dickson, of Elmwood, are in town attending commissioner's meeting, J. Murray, from Eight Mile Grove, started this m rhing for Smith county, Kansas, being called there ly the severe illness of his mother. Phittsmouth's delegation to Omaha this morning was made up of Dr. J. II Hall, Jerry Farthing, J. D. Tudd, Sam Barker, Ed. Levan, Mrs. Geo. Houseworth, Mis, II. E. Palmer, F. S. White and wife, M, O'Craig, Phillip Krause, John Marshall, W. L. Browne, Stephen Buzzell, Mrs. and Anna Livingston, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Patterou, and Mr. and Mrs. S. Waugh. A Growing Revival. The attendance and interest in Evan gelist Miller's revival meetings at the Methodist church still keeps up, and last night one of the best meetings was had. The church was crowded, and the meet ing opened with a song and testimonial service. The evangelist sang a beautiful temperance solo, and then gave a talk of about an hour's duration. Plain and earnest were his remarks and many crowded around the mourners' bench seeking thei- Savior. TUe afternoon meetings, from 3:30 to 4:."0 are also well attended, and yester day several confessed conversion. Mr. Miller is well experienced in this work of Salvation, and much good is resulting from the meetings. An Affidavit.

HERRMANN'S. A MAN THAT THINKS He Is a Man and Knows Othsr Man's Business Batter Than His Own. Mr. Sherwocd, I am sorry I gave you any worry, but hope you have nt lost any slf ep over it In the first place, 1 think you are a little too personal in your advertising, when you do not know anjthiag abaut my affairs and intentions. If you do not want to take my word and believe me when I say I am going to Pueblo, you can write to Mr. A. H. Can thren, traveling agent for J. Faust & Son, boot and shoe manufacturers of Baltimore, and he will inform you in a very few words what my intentions are aid what he has doae for me in regard to my locating at Pueblo; also you may write to W. J. Austin, agent for Ameri can Hand-sewed Shoe Co., Boston, Mais. And in regard to receiving my spring goods at the back door secretly, it is a falsehood, for it was broad day light and my store opened in front. I wonder if Mr. Sherwood thinks all the merchants that receive goods at their back doors do it secretly. Well, Mr. Sherwood, don't you trouble yourself where I receive my goods, for I shall have them put where it is most convenient for me. You stated that you do not need to close to mark your goods, perhaps it is because you have not had the rush of trade that we have bad, in the last few days. Our prices tells th story. You may try to make the public think that, because I am getting in my spring goods it is not my intention to go away but any business man knows that any intelligent boot and shoe dealer, always places their orders six months ahead, and as in my case I did not make up my mind to move away un til five months after I had ordered my spring stocK. Of course a man of your principle might countermand tnetn after the fuc tory made them to the order, but I will not do it, I think it is far more wise to take them as I ordered them and sell the goods at cost. Every man has a right to do a he thinks beet You can give your goods away for all I care, I will not tell yon out in public that you are deceiving the people when you are not. Time will tell yon that my intentions are not fraud and that you made a great mistake by stating to the public that I ntended to deceive them. I feel nattered to think you woud pattern after me in re gard to putting reduced cards in your window same as I have in my window. The trouble is,Mr. Sherwood.you want the earth with a fence around it and try to trample a young man that is striving to make an honorable living. Yours Respectfully, - , W. A.
