finds it necessary to do much Main street
business this week to highly appreciate
the pavement, even though it is necessarj
to pick for a path.
Plattsmouth has'nt very much grad
ing on ttie string of improvements this
year but for what there is there are
enough bidding graders to make it a
game of "grabs" with them.

-1 he young friends ot aol. liiggins
tendered him a surprise party last night,

specting Capt. II. E. Palmer camp, S. of
V. Mr. O'Brien reported himself high

the boys here are keeping things, and
passed high compliments on the camp in
general, and especially on the well kept
records.
Officer Fitzpatrick had a long chase
after a sneak thief this noon, who had
about a mile start of him, and was uncess-
f ull in bringing back the man he was af
ter. Shortly before noon a tramp, walk
ing lame and carrying a cane, went up to
the kitchen door of Father Carney's, of
the Catholic church, and asked the cook
for something to eat. From there he
proceeded to the church and the cook
supposed he went in to pray. He was
there a long time for that purpose, and
on coming out and lcaving,the cook went
to the church. She found the box for
offerings for the poor had been broken
open and only 20 cents left. The origi
nal amount there was unknown, but she
gave the alarm and Johnny Fitzpatrick
started after the lame tramp on the run
The last seen of the thief he was out by
the waterworks pump house, making fs-r
Oreapolia, or elsewhere.
A Fair Plan for Business.
The business men's association organ
ized last week jn this city as a branch of
the Nebraska State Business Men's Asso
ciation will hold its next meeting Friday
night, April 2(5. The system in use by
this association has for its purpose the
protection ef the retail merchants; and
its successful operation where it has been
established recommends it to the confi
dence and support of all merchants of
this city; while the hearty spirit in which
they entered into it here makes it evident
that it will be successful. One great
benefit is, the members are largely re
lieved from the liability to lose money
by too liberal credit.
Tiiis Association uses no dishonorable
means to force collections or settlements,
but the merchants propose to exercise
their legal right to refuse credit to a per
son whu gains the reputation of not treat
ing a member of the association fairly.
There is no law compelling merchants
to sell their goods on credit. There i? no
law forbidding merchants refusing cred
it to any person they see fit, and when a
mart-bant sells his goods on credit it is an
accommodation to the consumer, and if
such consumer has no appreciation of the
favor extended and wilfully neglects to
maka si reasonable and honorable adjust
ment of his indebtedness, then he should
be compelled to pay as he buys. It is
better for him and much more profitable
for the merchant. Many a poor
worthy man has been refused credit for
the necessities of life because of
the merchant's unpleasant experience
with bad debtors, but this system will
tend to obviate all that, because the man
who does respect his credit will be known
and have a standard among merchants,
while the "dead beat'' and others of his
kind will also be known to the members
of this Association and be absolutety re
fused credit, no matter if he moves to
toother town or state his reputation as
poor pay will follow him and the mer
chants in such new places of residence
will also refuse him credit. This Asso
ciation issues no ratings on individuals.
It issuss a regular and legal Monthly Ab
stract of unsettled accouuts. Each mem
ber agrees to forfeit twenty dollars to
bis branch as a penalty, in case he extends
credit to a person whose unsettled ac
count appears in the abstract, and no ac
count can appear therein until the debtor
hat a f;iir opportunity to go to the mer
chant he owes and in some way arrange
such indebtedness. The man tolio can
pay and too n't pay and the man who
cannot pay. but will not go to the mer
chant and state his condition and make
effort to arrange, is the person this as
sociation is after.
T.iis asi.ciation does not interfere
with t he credit of men who deal honor
ably, no matter if they are slow; neither
does it in any way regulate prices. It3
sole o'ject is to compel men to be honest
wit merchants or to pay spot cash for
goods purchased. Something of this
kind h is b.'en needed for a long time
and this syatein will work. "In com
bination there is strength." The mem
bers 1-ave the success or failure of this
systfiu in their own hands. Wherever
the merchants have properly combiuc,d
the f ysteni has proven a great success.
The w.st i- being carefully covered b y
this associ ition. and the merchants in all
sm-Il towns are visited and solicited to
juin the county branch.
A committee has been appointed to
eleft suitable rooms for the monthly
meetings of the Association, and will
report at the next meeting. For every
merchant to join in this Association would
insure a business confidence and spirit
which this city cannot afford to be without.
