PERSONALS.
Mr. Wm. Walker visited at Greenwood
yesterday.
C. A. Woosley was in from Green
wood today.
Mrs. C. Russell returned this morning
from a visit to Weeping Water.
Cant. II. E. Palmer and J. A. Conner
were Omaha passengers this morning.
O. P. Smith Wm. Alexander, Frank
Coursey and wife were Oiraha visitors

A. O. Decker, on his way from Kansas

bazar.
Messrs. Clark, of Lincoln, and Harry
Minor and C. II. Bushey, of this city
visited Omaha today. Mr. Clark return
ed and went on to Kansas City.

A
lasiness relations with
The Small Boy's Cigarette.
There is a law in this state that for
bids the sale of tobacco in any form to
minors. It even specifies that tobacco is
not to be given to minors under 10 years
of age. The law is especially aimed at
the cigaretts habit. It is unnecessary to
say that little or no attention it paid to
this law. Cigarettes are sold at any
tobacconist's to any lad of good size who
asks for them; they are kept in the school
supply stores; they are given by thought
less men to the boys of their acquain
tance. We have a remarkable way in
this country of making laws which we
never take the trouble to enforce. It all
goes to prove that arbitrary legislation
does not reform. Moral matters must be
met in another way. It is the parent and
not the stats that can keep the child from
smoking or chewing tobacco.
It is foolish and dangerous to make
law9 for the young that are not enforced,
f.ir if the children become aware of the
fact that they are breaking one law with
impunity, they will hastily arrive at the
conclusion that all can be treated with
the same contempt.
The small boys who parade our streets.
swelling with a consciousness of their
iauntv cigarettes are proof enough of
the open lailinerence wild which the
law referred to is regarded. Omaha
Herald.
A Fire For a Dinner Settler.
Just after 1 o'clock today as most peo
pla were taking up their vocations for
the afternoon, struggling under the de-
presion of a malarious April sunshine
and a hearty Nebraska dinner, the fire
bell sounded the alarm for fire in the
Fourth ward. Almost instantly the Sec
ond and Third ward hose carts were on
the move and were soon fastened to
wagons with heayy teams attached and
were on the run to the scene of the fire.
Granite and Third streets were reached
in just four minutes and a half from the
first stroke of the bell, and there the cry
"Fire's out," turned them back. But the
boys kept up their record of being prompt
with the hose cart and ready for service
and many hearty dinners were settled.
As to the fire, it was on the roof of the
two-story frame house belonging to Con
O'Connor, located at the foot of Winter
steen hill by the B. A M. yards. The
house was occupied by Mrs. O'Rilcy and
as there was no fire in the house it is sup
posed to have caught from a spark from
an engine. A boy named Fred Denson,
who was digging dirt nearby, discovered
the fire and gave the alarm at the house,
and the men near by, who, not knowing
the extent of the fire, sent him up town
with the alarm. The fire was put out
with a couple of buckets of water, and
damage is slight.
Excuseable.
Lincoln Journal: A schoolmaster of
Burslem lately received the following
note of apology: "Will yu pies exkews
my son Fred for not cumming tu skoole
this mornin. He is ded. Widow II. ,
washerwoman."
For all optical troubles go to Gering
& Co's and see Inskeep.
Why It Happens-
Lincoln Journal: "Goto the ant, thou
sluggard; consider her ways and be wise,"
is the adyice all young folks get from
their parents, and then when the girl
sees the antelope and comes home and
runs off with the coachman, they blame
her.

The third quarterly report of the Young
Men's Christian Association is now pub
lished. The quarter ended March :1 and
Plattsmouth can, from the report, take a
front seat as to spiritual activity; al
though her association stands eighth in
membership. The average attendance at
the Sunday gospel meetings here has
been !2. which is third in the state, and
the number of professed conversions
was 45, 2:J of whom united with some
evangelical church, and in this point the
association leads.
The associations of the state generally
have prospered greatly. There are 20
city and 5 college associations in the
state; and nine of the cities employ gen
eral secretaries. The total increase of
membership is increase in attendance
at men's meetings, 472; professed conver
siens 12. Lincoln has lots purchased
and plans drawn up for a vow building
to be erected soon.
Plattsinouth's association is coming to
the front rapidly in every way and new
and larger quarters are being provided
to receive them May 1.

Norman Dean, of Doane college, is at

Dr. Kirk stepped off the wrong end of
the cellar door Friday. He got down a
great deal quicker but does'nt lecom-
mend the plan as he is still confirmed to
his bed with his bruises.
Sam Long got a little kittenish last
week and tried to show the boys some
fancy jumping, and was carried home
with a badly sprained ankle ia conse
quence. The bridge here in charge of Mrs.
Boyd, is having a strong run of travel
which, with the cars of stone from the
quarry, wich makes it quite profitable. P
Madam Rumor has it that there are
two weddings to occur in the neighbor

will have to wait and see.

Spectacles at Gering & Co's.
A letter was dropped into the letter
box at the Auburn postoffice recently,
bound for Boston, with the stamp fast
ened on with a pin. It was pushed
through the stamp near the right side,
thence through the envelope and its con
tents to the back side, and back again to
the front. It was stronger than the com
mon lot of pin3 or it would never have
stood the pressure. Boston Herald.
They Were Little Girls.
Master Burrill was an old time teacher
in the town of Fairfield. A writer in
The Somerset Reporter says that he used
to punish naughty whispering girls by
"bearding them" that is rubbing his
unshaven chin with a week's stubble on
it down their pretty cheeks. It almost
took the skin off. Lewiston Journal.
Brayton Ives, the well known finan
cier and society man, is a bibliophile.
This may not seem to be an expensive
pursuit, but Mr. Ives manages to spend
a good deal of money upon it. Only
the other day he spent some 1,200 upon
a rare copy of an early edition of the
Holy Writ.
