What is necessary is hard to tell, but then must be something wron from the fact that so many are dropped from member ship for delinquency in attendance, and yet, it is a good move to rid the organ ization of all uninterested members. The fire-department is a necessity to the vital interests of the city, and though uncom plainingly prompt service has been ren dered on every occasion, a meeting hall and lively interest in its success by all business men might be a benefit and en couragement to the department. Rev. A. K. Myattway, who has for two years been Baptist minister at Wa- hoo, was in the ciiy today visiting around, and admiring the cites, having found it convenient to stop here on a re turn trip from Clarinda, Iowa, to Wahoo. Rev. Myattway is a native of Burmah. or father India, and came to this country thirteen years ago and was educated in New York state for the Baptist ministry, lie has recently resigned his call at Wahoo and will doubtless be called to Clarinda. or some other Iowa town. The English language is spoken very plainly by him and he is an elequent and forci ble speaker. ANOTHER BOOMER Plattsmouth has a Paint Factory on .the Line of Coming Enterprises. P. C. Mayne, of Council Bluffs, father of C. E. Mayne, of Omaha, and a promi nent real estate man, is in the city today looking at real estate with a view to locating at this point, and starting a paint factory. He was shown over the city by 3Ir. Windham. Mr. Mayne has recently purchased about a thousand acres of land just below the B. & M. bridg on ths Iowa side of the river, in tending to make a stock ranch of it He emphatically expressed himself well pleased with the prospects of Platts mouth and her location. i PEK.

That is What the Jury Finds After Being Out Nine Minutes. The Popular Verdict. It will not be worth while for the Hkkald to attempt to giye the particu lars of great murder trial which has just closed, in Omaha, and which has been the one theme of discussion over Ne braska, indeed all the central states since April :J. The case is one of betrayed confidence which led to the killing of Harry King of Chicago and Omaha by Libbie Bitchier, of the former place, on Ncv 17, 1S83. The scene of the murdr was the Paxton House parlor, and about 7 o'clock in the morning. King was a millionaire and that now seems to have been his only enjoyiable inheritance. The case came up in the district court at Oinih i, April a, entitled, "Harry King vs. Libbie Biechler," and the charge was murder. Judges Baldwin and Cowin, represented the defense, and Attorney's Mahoney and Montgomery the prosecu tion, though the arguing opened Saturday by Assistant County Attorney Edgarton. The great speech of the trial was made by Gsn Cowin, who is Nebraska's great est criminal lawyer and of a national reputation, who began Monday morning and spoke till 4:30. The court adjourn ed aad he resumed his speech yesterday momi:ig for an hour. Attorned Maho ney occupied the rest of the tims yester day for the prosecution, arguing till 5 o'clock when court adjourned till 9:30 this morning. He closed his argument atl0:.'!9 this morning. Judge Groff gave his instructions and the jury retired at 10:-15 and in nine minutes returned a verdict of "Libbie Biechler not guilty." The prisoner fainted at the announcement of th.i verdict and was caught by her attorney Oen. Cowin, who was at her side. He assisted her to the priyate office of Judge Groff where her friends con gratulated her and wept and shouted for joy; while there rose from the excited throng a cheer that shook the building and was heard throughout the city. Tiie sympathy of the public has been almost entirely with the defendant in this c tsa and the verdict is popularly re ceived. PERSONALS. John Babb was in Omaha today.

Plattsmouth Business Men's Asso oiation Organized Last night representatives of twenty seven business firms of this city responded to the call to meet at the Riddle house for the purpose of organizing a business men's association. Officers were elected and an organization effected. It is an institution with the best interests of its members in view, and takes in all rstail dealers. No retailers' association has heretofore been perfected, here or else where in this state, for their good, but this, us a branch of the state organization, promises to deyelop and become a source of mutual benefit. The organization is spreading rapidly because of the good results to be obtained, and every business man in Plattsmouth would doubtless do himself good by associating himself with this branch. The W.
