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

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

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

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

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

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

plaintiff and Byron Clark for defendant.

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.

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.

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, - ,
