A colored opera troup held forth in Fitzgerald's hall last night Casa county's assessors, when viewed as an assembly today, were a very pre possessing body of men. -License to wed was granted to George Luahinsky and Miss Barbara Gabelrnann, of this city, yesterday. The reducing of Main street to grade between Seventh and Sixth streets, ad joining the lets on the north has already begun. The rain which fell here from Friday till Monday seems to be very wide spread. Reports from west, north, east and south ay rain fell in abuadance. A person passing the court heuse to day and, noticing the county assessor in and about the building would have been, reminded of a "swarm." Rev. Boswell, paster of ML Olive Baptist church, (colored) began holding revival services Suuday night. Last night the church was crowded. All are invited to attend. The heney bees have been brought out by the warm sunshine, and are alrea dy active The sweet of the blossoms of the soft maple tree furnish material, to work on this early in the year. Thursday evening ofthis week a free lecture will be given in the Methodist church by Rev. J. M. Jeffery, pastor of the M. E. church at Provo, Utah. Sub ject, "Five years with Utah Mormonism." The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor haa enjoyed a won derful growth since its organization here. Last night at their meeting the Presby terian church was well filled with young people. An invitation is to be extended to Bishop Newman, of the M. E. church, whose home is Omaha, to visit this city in the near future. An opportunity to hear that divine would be a treat to Plattsaaoutb. C. II. Parmale and wife are in Elm wood today. It is reported there will be a wedding in high life out there tonight, the contracting parties being O. K. Parmele, son of Elaoi Parmele, and Arvilla Tyson. This fine spring weather U just what the building contractors need. . They have plenty of residence building on hand and a number have nearly been completed. The large house of R. Sher wood, on Chicago avenue is well under way. The Herald refer an inquirer, as to the enterprise of Plattmouth merchants, quickly to its advertising colums, and this is am acceptable proof. It is a grati fication to us to know that this paper is used as advertising medium ''because it pays." Saunders county has a lively and valuable county paper in the Saunders County Leader, aad to all outward ap pearances it is coming to the front Th Herald notices with pleasure the newsy columns of that paper, as it is edited by W. A. Keithley, a former Plattsmouth citizen, and at one time foreman of the Herald. Our Omaha correspondent writes that "The Postage Stamp" is one of the funniest pieces that haa been played there this season. The play opens in tin first act with a man holding a letter in his hand from which the stamp has been remoyed. It is mailed and of course does not reach its destination, and causes an endless amount of trouble to the par ties it was intended for. In the last act the letter reaches its destination and causes a sensation. In the meantime th "Postage Stamp" is entirely lost sight ol amid the general fun making. Some of the scenes are so irresistably funny that the audience forgets itself and laughs a though they didn't care who saw them but as everybody is roaring they don't notice anybody else. The Kansas City Gazette tells a story about a family down in Florida that lost one of their children. After failing, to find it for two days, they put a twenty fire cent notice in a local paper and the next morning they were surprised to see an alligator upon the door step, where he had disgorged the lost child alive, and then died himself. They sold the alliga tor's hide for $5. and the parents are ex hibiting the child in a dime museum for $50 per weok. The story illustrates the value of advertising. It also illustrate the writer as a careful and painstaking liar. Died From Drink." The saloon of Speck & Grave was closed last night at 6 o'clock because of j the death of John Grave. Mr. Graye waa a man of middle age and was at one time employed at the Goos bouse. He has had a great habit of liquor and Sat urday night was taken with delerium Cremona from which he died at his pla of residence last night about 6 o'clock. Showing Him Around The II Kit Ai.u scribe was never more humiliated, on account of the crying want of Cass county, than he was yester day. He was engineering an enterprising young friend over the city. The system of water works, High school, the fine system of sewerage, the pavement and general good appearance of Main street and the residence portion of the city were much admired and compliment ed, also the good location ef the city, on the Missouri river and at the mouth of the Platte; and finally a complete tour was made of the B. & M. shops where 500 sober and industrious men were contentedly laboring. The shops were a great source of interest and the visitor concluded Plattsmouth was quite a city, but returning to Main street he said "is'nt Plattsmouth the county seat!" Yes," "Where's your court houel" We called hia recollcctien to the visit there the middle of the afternoon, and made the best explanation possible. "But,"said he "if the business men are as enterprising as you say, could'nt they push it through?" and another proof of enterprise was demanded. We laid "come" and lead the way back to the Herald office unfolded a Daily Herald and a Weeelt Herald before him and said, "Do men of enterprise do more or less of that kind of business (advertising) through the newspaper?" That proof was sufficient and he replied, "that's en terprise." His home is a booming little town in Colorado, and before taking his leave for the east, satisfaction with Plattsmouth as a city, was expressed in these words, "I should like to live here." A Dead Boat Woman. The woman who applied to County Clerk Critchfield yesterday for assistance tod transportation to Omaha, for, her self and two daughters andason, proved to be an unworthy shark. Yesterday they spent the 'time waiting in the depot; as Mrs. John Leach was about to close her lunch counter the "penniless" woman Came up to the counter and flopped a big red handkerchief down, and as she un felded it remarked "can you give me paper for this?" There in the handker chief the woman had about $30 ia silver ( iccording to her own statement.) Mrs. Leach replied, "No, I have no paper money, bqt maybe you can get it from the agent at the window behind you." The woman did'nt go to tat agent for change but only seemed anxious to tell of her wealth, and replied, "This is not all, my daughter has a whole pocket full: but it is so heavy to carry around." The money was again wrapped and "bid away" with the exception of ten cents which was given to the little boy and he was sent out to get his dinner. The woman, two daughters and the pet dog then hunted up an officer and enjoyed a splendid noon meal, with Cass county as host, which they had under great pre tense of poverty and misfortune, obtained promise of, trom the clerk. In the eve ning their fare was paid to Omaha, and today are telling it among their friends how they "done Cass county." - ' ar mm m a w aw aai "a-w Our Fire Department. Last night the adjourned meeting for March of the Plattsmouth fire department was held in the council chamber. The usines seemed largely to relate to es tablishing and thoroughly organizing the .lepartment, and getting membership .natters in order. The meeting was pushed in a business like manner and all che members seemed to have their atten tion well confined to getting the depart ment in shape. Much responsibility rests on the department, and " the managing officers; and every effort on the part of r.he boys to better their means of fire eryice will be supported by the citizens. Though Plattsmouth has escaped a nec essary trial of her fire department, so that it real strength is not known, yet the men who are in it are young and en ergetic and caa be depended upon for che best of service. It is hoped that the department will ba in good shape for the innual report which is to be made in April, and a hearty co-operation will oentiaue among the members in attend ince at all meetings.

ERRlMffl'S. District Court Notes. Yesterday afternoon the case of Stat or iNebiasKa vs. m. Jiringinan wn heard before a jury. The charge wn adultery, but the attorney for state faile to prove that defendant was married, previous to the elopement at Louisville which would haye been necssary to su tain the charge, and the court instructed the jury to find for defendant, which they did, and the case was dismissed. Yesterday morning the case of C. E. Hadley vs. Henry Math i as was heard be fore the court and a judgment for $222 rendered in favor of plaintiff. A very peculiar case came up this morning in court and was still on trb.1 at press time. The paritculars are these Henry Bachelor on March 31, 1887 while helping turn an engine on the turn-table in the shops, slipped and fell, the cow catcher caught his left foot. He report ed to Dr. Iivingston for treatment Oo May 21, 1887, the game man - ran a nail in his right foot and repo.ted to Dr. Livingston again for treatment. Mr. Bacblor's right foot now troubles him and he sues the company for $5,000 for injuries received by his right foot from a cowcatcher while helping turn the engine. The physician's recerd plaicly states that the nail ran in the right foot, and that Bachelor received a "severe sprain of the lift ankle and foot" from the cow-catcher. Bachelor's trouble is evidently from the nail but things seen to be mixed up and he is sewing on the cow-catcher. Mr. Bachelor himself this morning stated in court he did not know which foot he ran the nail in and the facts in the case are making considerable fun. He assesses damages at $5,000. ycaided- Yesterday evening two ma were tt work under a boiler in the shops, and ne ot them moyed in such a manner cs to open a valve and let a stream of boil ing water in on them. They were given medical treatment by Dr. T. P. Livisg- tton, and though not seriously injured will te laid up for several days. Their names were given us as Frank Vermilyea and Lou Keesling.
