During the last few mornings there has been light frosts, and even ice froze on stnnriiux water exposed, but vegeta tion dor not seem to liayo been affected Yesterday afternoon the Washing ton banquet characters aucmbled at the opera he use in their costumes and had n group picture taken with the beautiful surroundings. To the name of Mrs. Merges was as cribed the credit of the training of the Kindergarten for the Inaugural Jianquct in last night's IIekai.d, but it shoul. have been Mi.'.s Majors. The Old Stadelmann building was place I on the lots at the corner of Pew I and Sixth street today and the lots ou Main and Sixth will soon be cleared for the graders to go work. In last Saturday night's Herald a local stated that the board of directors of the Brick and Terra Cotta works had declared a 10 diyidendl Instead, the stockholders recommended that the board declare such a dividend. The board meets mine time next week. Mr. If. W. Cleinnions, day operator at Oreapolis, is attending court as a wit ncss at Papillion, Sarpy county, in the criminal case of State of Nebraska vs the tramp accused of pushing IJmkeman Tom Sullivan from a train near L:i Platt on the night of Oct 1, 1888, causing his death. The new rooms to be occupied by the Young Meu's Christian Association over 11 nni-tt & Tutt's store are beinp neatly finished. The headquarters of the association will l3 transferred this week. Several beautiful paintings have been furnished to decorate the walls whirl) will be a pleasant addition to the fur nishings. The Herald notices a change. in the largest law firm in the city. Formerly Covell, Polk & Bceson, hut last fall Mi. Covell withdrew from the firm, and re centlv M. D. Polk gaye way to two younger brothers, recently admitted to bar, and Jesse L. Root also come into the firm. The title now is Beeson, Poll Bros. A Root, being th largest firm ir the city, for members. 1 he cutting or wires ana trees oc Main street recently, has been something of a reminder of New York city scenes Jo movinj tlie stauelmann bouse it was found necessary to remove or raise all the wires on Main and Sixth streets, aur? today the pole chopping was represented on the six large trees in front of the Wheeler property. The tree injunction. was to have been heard before Judge Field at Lincoln today, but a large nuui ber of affidavits declaring the trees i nuisance had been filed and the suit w last night withdrawn and a contract lit to O. II. Poisall for their removal. The Washington Inaugural Banquet and II ry Pole entertainment given at the opera house the nights of April 30, and May 1, by the ladies of the Presbyterian church, were notable successes in the wnj of entertainments.. The banquet, as Iin. been fuily detailed, was the grandest occasion ever held in Plattsmouth, and drew a great audience, and complimeut from all sides. The May Pole entertain ment last night was the finishing of the concern and proved a pleasant place ti be for the large number in attendance. The musical performances by the Kindt r garten, under the direction and training of Miss Majors, was an emphatic success, and very praiseworthy. Instrumental music was furnished by Miss Martin. The May Pole dance by a number o' young ladies and gentlemen was a pretty feature of the evening, and was followed by the serving of refreshments. The re .ceipts on the two evenings were large, and they will long be remembered. "We will offer for the next Thirty days Lots in South Park to the number of One Hundred. Cash payment on each Lot $10. De ferred monthly payments 5, with only 5 per cent interest. This is the finest opportunity ever given in Plattsmouth to pur chase cheap and desirable Ileal Estate. The fact that the city is building up for a full half mile south of the Park as well as both east and west sides of the addition is steadily increasing the value of this handsome property. A grocery delivery team belonging to Alf White ran away on Main street today, but was stopped at Fifth without any damage. The board of directors of the street railway company held a meeting this afternoon at 2 o'clock to consider the adoption of an electric motor system for propelling tha cars. No important ac tion was taken but large developments are looked for soon. The end of the world which has stuck out as a prominence on Main street, between Seventh and Eighth for the last fifteen years, is melting away slowly under the shovel of the grading contrac tor, much to the improved looks of the 6treet. Many German people gathered at the German Presbyterian church this after noon to pay a last tribute of respect to the son, of Rev. P. W. Witte, Willie Witte. The pall bearcars were Cliff Wescott, Chas. Murphy. Elmer Eikenbarry, Ed Streight, Wesley Grassnian and F. Richey. In nearly every paper nowdays you see the startling announcement that some one has suddenly become a sub treasurer owing to hi3 hick in holding the winning ticket in a Louisiana State lottery draw ing. If you are of an observant nature ami have opport unities to give your ge nius plenty of rope you will discover that one of these startling notices generally does duty in every paper in the country before it is finally retired upon a pension to give place to one of fresher attraction. There are about 80,000,000 people in these United Status. In the course of a year about 80 of them draw any appre ciable prizes in said lottery Do you want to take your chances for the shoe of the millionth man at a dollar a whirl? If you do, go in for it. There are a number of good places where a fine quality or experience can be had at much mure moderate figures. The encouragement to come to all kinds of business and enterprises in this city from the establishment of the elec tric motor, manufacturing and lighting plaats, which it is proposed to establish this summer immediately and which has been successfully canvassed hcre,make it a scheme that should be backed by every citizen with influence and capital. The plan has been fully explained in these columns, and liberal support has been had from those to become stockholders. Almost without a doubt the enterprise will develope quickly into the largest plant of the kind in the west. The ben efits to bo derived will not stop with an electric motor street railway, and arc and incandescent lights, and the manufactur ing of incandescent lamps, and the em ploying altogether of about one hundred people, but the advertisement which it would give to the city would be broader and more acceptable than any other kind conceivable. A meetiug of the stock holders will beheld as soon as the stock is all subscribed for and active operations will commence. PERSONALS. Dr. T. P.
