middl f the road tonight.

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

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.

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.

of shows which is ditto, and leads to a
