Dr. Wltltra, Dcatlat, I'aUa Block. CITY CORDIALS. Tonight will be Evangelist Miller's last meeting in Plattsmouth. An upright man will walk in the middl f the road tonight. Tho Sons of Veterans are to have an entertainment two weeks from next , Tuesday. James D. Durlin and Miss Maud Nichols were married yesterday by Rev. J. T. Baird. Conductor Ballinger has for several days been unable to attend duties on the Schuyler run of the B. & M.. being laid up withTonsilitis. The rain last night caught a large congregation of people at the M. E. church unprepared for it. but most of them got home without serious dampen Win. Snyder came in from about five miles south of town tuts morning with a half demented tramp he bad ar rested. He will be set free again, how cVer, as he is able to care for himself. Credit for the securing of the new hotel for Plattsmouth. as far as her citi zens are concerned, rests largely on F, Carruth. R. B. Windham and J. W. Johnson, whose zealous efforts were in fiuential in pushing ahead the enterprise. Several large piles of drift cord wood which have collected and piled on the east side of the sandbar are now out o reach to the owners. Yesterday the river made a rise and surrounded the wood with water before a dozen loads could be hauled away. Last nicrht a trood soakincr rain fcl t- - over all this section of the country. It was a most welcome occurrance to every body, farmer or citizen. The farmer, it will relieve of his anxiety about the "Spring drouth'and the city people will for a time be rid of dust, and have supply of rainwater. C. W. Snyder, who was postmaster at Cedar Creek for a time, and is well known over Cass county, died of con sumption at Papillion, Sarpy county, yesterday. Mr. Snyder was strongly suspicioned last winter as a postoffice official, and gave up his position and moved to Papillion. " The fifteenth annual tournament of the Nebraska Sportmen's association is to be held at Norfolk in May. Five thous and live pigeons have been guaranteed. Shooters will be classified according to record. Some "champion shots" will be there, but doubtless they will go home abashed after a round with the Platts mouth boys. The board of trustees'of the Presby terian church meet tonight to consider what shall be done for a church, now that the church lot is sold and must be vacated. No steps have been taken in this line, but it is understood that a handsome and commodious church structure will be erected on some suitable lot at no distant day. The Boston Stars, to be at the opera house Saturday night, play at Boyd's in Omaha two nights next week and are in every way first-class. Our Omaha cor respondent writes that he has been as sured by Mr. Boyd that they are fine and they expect big houses there and be thinks they should draw well here. If yon want to enjoy a fine musical treat, go and see them Saturday night. We are acquainted with quite a number who "get more papers than lean read now" and do not want a local pa per as long as they can borrow it from a neighbor. Those fellows always taki a paper published in New York or somewhere, containing thrilling and blood curdling romances, such as make the young despise home and yearn for the day when they can break away from home restraints and go out in the far west and become "bad men" and die with their boots on. The revival meetings in the Met he -dist church during the past two weeks have kept up in attendance and interest without the least falter. Last night the church was again filled to standing roorr. Mr. Miller has n ever failed to sing one or more beautiful solos, and the contin ued large attendance is-proof of the ap preciation the people of Plattsmouth have for Lim. The meeting last evening was successful in winning souls for Christ, as have been all others, and the evangelist will leave many converts here the fruits of his labors. Y. M. C. A. and church mem bers can go and hear the "Boston Stars" at the opera house tomorrow night, without any hesitation, or seeing or hear ng anything of an immoral nature. They come to us strangers, but are highly recommended by ministers, Sunday school supsrintendenta, secretaries of Y. M. C. A. ' and the press at large. The performance will be what it is represented to be, and if yoa read in another column the letter from "Bill Nye' regarding them, an! if yoa go to hear them tomorrow nigh you will naver regret It EIGHT DAYS TO PUNISHMENT. For or McCann Will Serve a ta- on In TheOPenitentnry At Hard Labor. Sentenced For Six Year Court opened this morning at usual time. The jury from the case which was heard yesterday, Plattsmouth Street rail way vs F. It. Outbman was called to the jury box. Frank McCann, who plead guilty to forgery yesterday, was brought into court to receive sentence: there be ing about fifty spectators present. Mc Cann sat seemingly unconcerned before the court. About three minutes was taken in the sentencing which was about as follows; Court, (to deputv sheriff Miller.) "Is the prisoner here ?" Miller "Yes sir." Court "Tho prisoner will stand." McCann rose to bis feet, stood in his natural stoobed posture with his hands s s behind him, and the court confined: "What have you to say why sentence should not be possed?" McCann: "Nothing." "How old are you?" "Twenty-six." "Where was your home before coming to Nebraska?" "Ohio." . "How long since you came here?" "Two weeks." The court then recited the particulars of the forgery to the prisoner, speaking of the nature of the crime in the sight of the law. and circumstances connected with this forgery, to which McCan would occasionally reply with an asserting "yes sir." Closing these remarks the ceurt said: "Taking the evidences as he has been able to gather them, finds little in this case to recommend him (the prisoner) to the clemency of the court, but that the punishment may be swift and speedy the court has taken all things into consider ation, and the sentence ef the court is 1 ou be taken tro.n the court here and confined in the penitentiary of this state for the term of six years at hard labor, Sundays excepted, none of which shal be in solitary confinement, and that he r pay the coats of this trial." The prisoner expressed no feeling out wardlv at all. and was removed from the court ro"m to the jail by the deputy The remarkable feature of this case is the swiftness with which McCan was brought to justice, and made to feel the arm of the law, and la Low short a time a crime can be accomplished to send ona to the penitentiary for years. Only eight days ago he appeared the First Nation al bank and enquired after the responsi bility of the men whose names he wished to forge, C. R. Vallery and Joshua Murray, stating he was about to close a deal in cattle with them. The next day one week ago today he returned to the bank with the forged note and, had he pot feared detection, could have sold it for $-760 cash, but rather took a draft for $500, and his own caution was the trap that caught him. In eight days from (he time McCan planned the forgery, he finds himself on the way to the peniten tiary to spend six years at hard labor, and repentence. District Court Notes. Two years ago when the Plattsmouth Street Railway company was incorporated it seems that F. R. Guthman, F. D. Len hoff, J. V. Weckbach, J. V. Egenberger and W. II. Pickens were among the sub scribers to the enterprise. After the track was removed from Main street and for various reasons, the snbscripti ns were with-held, as not being collectable from the understanding of the manner of subscription. Suit was brought in this court to secure the payment of the sub scriptions. The case against F. R. Guth man, who subscribed $100 was tried yes terday and the jury instructed this morn ing. The jury found for plaintiff dam ages in the amount of $100 and costs of the case. The other cases being on the same ground as Mr. Guthman's this one will settle them all in favor of the com pany. This afternoon the case of J. II. Bauer vs. John M. Waterman was heard and subnrted to the jury. PERSONALS. Mrs. J. A. Connor returned from Ash land yesterday. T. WV Riddle was a passenger to Lin coln this morning. - The Plattsmouth delegation to Omaha this morning consisted of J. R. Cox and family, J. C Peterson, John Mat hi as. Sara Shuraaker, Jas.

HERRMM'S. BOU4DTQ BOOM. The Building Season in Platts mouth to Open by Greeting Win Hotel. 'Preliminaries Completed. This spring has long been looked to, to open a grand boom in the way of erecting buildings. Many contracts hav bcen drawn and, let on dwelling houses and minor improvements to be done this season, but last niiht arrangements were completed whereby the building boom will be given a good impetus by the erection of a fine hotel. The board of trade committee, trustees of the Presby terian church and J. E. Riley met at Byron Clark's office last night and closed the deal of the purchase of the Presby terian church lot. As stated in the Her ald before, the lot was bought for $3, 500, Mr. Riley paying $2,500 and citizens $1,000, ' It is intended to begin operations for the erection of the hotel as socn as possi ble. The hotel is planned to be one erected after the most modern with all American conveniences, building it is to be 83x140 feet, of 88 feet on Main street, and a fashien, As a a front front of 140 feet on Sixth street, which fronts are to be of pressed brick. The hotel is olanned to be erected at a cost of $25,000, will be three stories high, with trimmings of Sioux Falls granite. This will be a hotel building of attractive appearance from the outside, and all first-class furnishings within. The brick for the main portion of the building will be made in this city. Bids for reducing the lots to grade have been published, and the work will be pushed. Today a suitable location for the old Scadelman house is being looked np, and the build ing will be moved as soon as a good lo cation is found. BUI Nye's Letter. Wontp Qficb, New York, Dec. 23.
