At the weather srrows warmer the bojs begin to long for a boat ride. Several new boats hare recently been launched. The anniversary of the Y. M. C. A. to be held at the rooms on Main and Fourth streets on next Thursday evening, will be a grand social event A grand gospol Meeting for men only will be held at the Y. 31. C. A. rooms tomorrow at 4 p. in. to which all are invited to attend. Dr. A. T. Withers, the Union block dentist, has just issued a very instructive and beneficial circular on dentistry, which he distributes free to everybody. Strangers in the city are especially welcome at ibe men's gospel meetings on Snnday at 4 p. m. at the rooms ot the Young Men's Christian Association. Gen. Supt T. E. Calvert, of the B. & M who was in the city yestsrday, sent bis sympathy to tho bereaved family of E. S. Oreusel, with some handsome flowers. Hardly a week goes by but what The Herald is enquired of for "a house to rent." We always refer to our adver tising columns, and if there is any prop erty there advertised it rents, as was the case this morning. Several of the streets are settling over the sewer mains, and on Main street the pavenent has sunk in several places; but these deficiences will soon be re paired. The bavement is to be corrected by the contractors. The Right Rev. Geo. Worthingtou D. D., of Omaha, will be at St. Luke's parish tomorrow evening for confirmation The services will be open to the public and all are invited to be present who may desire to attend. Srl lnrcrR rlncrs were seen with muzzles on today in a group, apparently - . , . -ii consoling tneraseives over tne lernoie mishap that has come over their "chomp pers." They all looked very much humiliated, but seemed to be resigned to . i r . ineir iare. An addition of two, with double barreled shot guns, vas added . to the force on dog shooting this afternoon, auid dos, a whole litter at a titne.are be ing cleaned out of existence. Everybody is well pleased with the move and it can not proceed too fast. From all ver the state the . papers talk of ''the fine spring" funprecedente.1 prosperity," etc This is all true, doubt less, for Nebraska is one of the garden spots of the word, but there is no place in this "garden spot" that is able to down Plattsmouth this season. Miss Alice Shepherd has completed a very fine picture in Crayon work of one Edwin Landseer's game picture. It is now on exhibition in the window of O. P. Smith & Co's drug stre. It is well worth $100 in a large city. It will be raffled off for 50 cts. a chance. City Marshal Dunn was out in the evening yesterday with a rifle doing bold work among the canine of the city. It was a good move, by order of the mayor, and highly commendable, and most people would like to see every unclaim ed cur, and many that are, meet with a like fate. Justice Stanley Mathews, associate justice of the United States supreme court since 1SS1, died at Washington at 10:20 a. m., yesterday. He had been an invalid for more than a year from rheu matism, and died after a severe attack of chills and fever. The amount of local matter today prevents further notice. A runaway team on Main street yes terday caused considerable excitement. The black team belonging to C. W. Holmes, driven by Geo. Staley to a-closed carriage to meet trains, had been tied to a telephone pole on lower Main street t await the arriyal of No. 2. The train was a few minutes late and in some man er during the restless standing the horse hitched to the post slipped the bridle front its head and then the team, break . ing from the bridle, made a start up Main street. 1 hey got into a pretty good gallop and cleared the street till they reached Fifth street, but there Ed. John son, a B. & M. fireman, managed to-catch the reins of the annimal with a bridle and running alonz beside the team drew them up to the sidewalk in front of M B. Murphy's where they stopped. Not a particle of damage was done to the horses, carriage or harness, except the broken bridle. District Court Today- The last regular jury case in this term of court baa been disposed of, and the jury also The Champion Machine Co. vs. Fred Gorder. As was stated yester day in the Hkuald, the cempany sued Mr. Gorder for $314 on machinery, while Mr. Gorder acknowledged this bill and brought into court a larger claim against the company, as rebate on eight machines and for two deficient machinis. The case was submitted to the jury yes terday noon. In the evening they rendered a verdict favoring defendant with a judgment of $97.50. In court this morning the attorneys for plaintiff petitioned to have the court set aside the jury's verdict and grant a new trial. The petition, however, was not granted. The evidence ia the case of E. L. Reed vs. School District No. 22, was still be ing given in this afternoon. The case was taken up yesterday. Reed sues the district for about $800, and there seems to be considerable evidence to come. - Jo' s Grand Opening. Last night a few minutes before 8 o'cleck the clothing store of Joe Klein was thrown open to the public to come in and investigate his immense stock of spring goods. A stock of all kinds of clothing and gents' furnishing goods were on the first floor, and on the second were trunks, valises and traveling equip ments. The Bohemian band was there and continually kept up sweet strains of music, .and extra clerks were on hand to show the great crowd around and an swer questions. Long before the doers were opened a large crowd waited patient- ly on the street, and fer an hour or two the store wss a jam of spectators from end to end. Little momentoes of the oc casion were given to the gentlemen and ladies. A thousand slate memoranda were given to gentlemen, and as many looking glasses to the ladies, and yet they were far short of going around to all, so that the number of visitors was very large. Elm wood Enterprise. The Elmwood Echo has great gall in anaouncing the way merchants sell goods out there, as the readers can judge from the following; "A young gentleman, wber works. for the Hottle boys south of town, was buy ing a new hat at one of our stores Satur day when he suddenly staggered back, his eyes lifted heavenward and he fell to the floor as one dead. Dr. Hobbs was called in and soon brought the young man out all right. He had fainted, caused by a rush of blood to the head. This is the doctor's version; but we be- lieye the hat was offered so cheap that it made his head swim; and thus fainted." Wealth That aVas Not. When John' Greye died 3Iondy it was supposed that he had considerable wealth, probably $15,000. Mrs. Fred Goos, of this city, is said to be a cousin, and the members of his father's family all liyein Germany. If the man had wealth it is yet a mystery where it is. It seems he never said an thing definitely about his posses sions before death, and left no will. His effects show besides his property, only about $700 in notes. If other money is out the trace of it has not yet been found. The popcrty will probably be sold and the money sent to relatives abroad. School Board Meeting. The school board held a meeting last night, principally to consider bids for priming some schoel material. The bids of the Journal and Uekald were con sidered, and the contract awarded to tlf Herald, work to be complete in thirty days. The resignation of Miss Etta Searl as teacher in room 5 was read but no action taken cn it. Several miscellaneous ques tions came up and were discussed and board adjourned. No Difference with Death. Death comes to the young and old all the same. Yesterday an old man, prob ably 70 years old, named John M. Kin- zie, living near the old foundry died. He was buried this morning at Oak Hill cemetery. This morning an infant child, aged 1 month, of Mr. A. Neleigh, died. Mr. Neleigh is employed in the blacksmith and wagon shop of Mike Scbnellbacher. To Have an Oil House. Permission has been secured frem the B, & IL company by S. A- Dayis, Plstts mouth's oil merchant, to erect an eil house on the railroad grounds. 24x40 feet, in which r store oil! About 1,200 barrels per annum are consumed in this city and railroad location would be a great convenience and is a proper thing. PERSONALS. T. J. Thomas left this morning for Nebraska City. Mrs C. II. Parmele returned from E!m woed this morning. Miss Hattie Holmes, from near Rock Bluffs, was in the city today. W. J. Hesser was a passenger to Lin coln last night to visit his daugter. Frank demons, who is a train dis patcher on soma western road, arrived in the city last evening to visit at his home. Mr D. F. Sherman, proprietor of the Press at Hamilton, III., is visiting at the home of his brother-in-law, Geo. H. PoisalL Mr. Sherman used to "print" on the Herald, and is - known in Plattsmouth.

What becomes of the humble bees in the winter time is a puzzling question to a great many minds, but the Joker notices they are already on deck to b sat down on when the picnic season ap pears. The Joker has observed that questions doa't generally bother his mind Terr much, until forcibly brought to his at tentioa. His shin bone met a board, in the sidewalk at right angles, and be fcis been wondering why the calf ef his leg was not put on in front. From the general bright appearance of the countenances ef the Plattsmouth peo ple, and the busiaess mere they all wenr, the Joker is satisfied there will be no flies on Plattsmouth this year. 'I tell you it's a fsct," "remarked an observing Juror a few days sgo, from the wvst end, "Plattsmouth is all bustle this spring." The Jokbr rejoices in toe tact that it is not the kind that gets sat down upon so frequently. - The "straws" which hare basked in the warm sunshine of the north side of Main street since last fall, are beginning to move their headquarters across to the shady side. The Joker dees not set himself up to be any sort of political authority, or even a judge of human nature, but he knows this: That office seekers are not a disap pointed race, as he used to supposed. He has never seen one yet who failed to g$t a position, but declared that he didn't want it Jt is lucky for human happiness that men are o constituted. Even though Easter comes on Sunday it connot be too careful about making ita Appearance tbjs year. The Joker ob serves the bens are laying for it. As the city marshal goes about the city searching for unclaimed dogs, a great mob of boys follow him. Around each dog that comes to grief this mob gathers and investigates the course of the bullet and observes the last muscle that moves The Jokkr notices that invariable the nside line of boys are those who are ad mirers or "Wild Bill" and "Old Ironsides Abroad." and who are sorry that th 'Wild West" which they read, about is fast fading away.
