Weeping Water Las let tbe contract for the digging of a town well to be 15x14 feet and 21 feet deep. dull will be paid for clean cotton rags at the Herald office, in any quanti ty at the rate of o cents per pound. LouUville is agitating the question of boring for natural gas. A company lias been organized and has got to that poiut whre most companies fail to put ting up the money. House-cleaning is generally in its height about town now, which doubtless accounts for the scarcity of tr,amps at the back doors and married men that "don't go home to dinner." - The enterprises now on foot, in this town, backed by capital and good man agement, are enough to giye the couG dence the city deserves to all foreign capital seeking investment. The gray team of Walter White', being used in grading on Pearl and Fourth streets, got into tho ditch being filled this morning, but were rescued without anv serious harm coming to them. The Herald is in receipt of a copy of "Our Dumb Animals, ".a monthly jour nal published in Boston, as compliments of Geo. T. AngclL It is published by tha society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and contains many beautiful pen pictures of love and reeard due the dumb world from the human. It is also illustrated.

The usual railway courtesies may le expected by the delegates.

It is said that a Portland (Me.) shoe manufacturer being asked to asstst in providing bread for the suffering pom said he would contribute to the extent of ono hundred sacks of flour and one hundred bushels of meal to each laan who might be found in Portland who neither kept a dog, drank rum, nor used tobacco, who was in need of bread and the person has not appeared yet to claim the gracious gift. In a recent issue of the Kearney Enterprise the following notice occurs, "Mr. T. C. Brainard received a telegram recently, announcing that his mother was dying at Sacramento,- Cal. He start ed for that city, but at Denver was inter cepted by another telegram announcing her death. Mr. Brainard's mother was about seventy years of age and went to California from Ohio." The deceased, spoken of in this notice, was a sister of our worthy and esteemed citizen, C. S. Twiss. An interesting and new method of pulling teeth, which is actually painless, was thoroughly tested at the office of Dr. Sallisbury yesterday. Dr. A. S. Billings, of Omaha, and Dr. Jas. Seinau, of San Francisco, were conducting the operations, pulling teeth free of charge, and thor agblyproving the merits claimed for thi method. The pain is killed by in jecting a local anaesthetic into tbe gam at the roots of the to th and then ex tracting it. Many citizens were at the office during tbe day, both young, and old, small and great, rich and poor, and Lad "old timers" taken out, and all were affected alike without pain. Dr. Salis bury has secured the right to extract treeth by this painless method, which will afford a great inducement to those with jumping achcrs to have them pulled. The newsrooms of the Young Men's Christian Association were open last night for the first time. Though arrange ments are not yet completed in tho hall, tbe rooms present a very cheerful and inviting appearance, and will make very pltasant headquarters for the association. A couple of beautiful handpainted pic tures have been placed on the walls by Mrs. Ida Wagner, which kindness on the part of Mrs. Wagner is highly appre ciated. Bat tbe walls are large enough to accommodate a number more such decorations, provided the talented young ladies of the city are disposed to use their accomplishment for so good a pur pose. The first Sanday meetiog will be in the new hall Sunday, tbe 12th, at 4 p. m., and will be lead by Rev. Blainy, president of Bellevua college. Tne Evening Heral MACHINERY ORDERED For the Oppcrmann Electris Lamp Manu facturing Company's Use. A BUILDING SITE SELECTED A Suitable Building, Complete in All Departments, to be Erec ted for the Factory. The New Electric Plant. Yesterday afternoon at the meeting o f the board of directors of tbe.Oppcrmann Electric Lamp Manufacturing Company, held at the offics of Ballou & Browne, after the election of officer, as aunounced in last night's Herald, tbe question of engines and boilers was considered, tbe Pond Engineering Company of St. Louis and the Tayor Manufacturing Co., of Chambersburg, Pa., being represented. Taylor Bros, were successful and the directors let the contract to them for two boilers and two Beck automatic engines, one an 85 and the other a 73 horse power; to be ready to ship in two weeks. To furnish electric power to test and manufacture the incandescent lamps, five or six powerful dynamos will be made to order, specially adapted to this kind of use, and just as quick as money can make things go, the electric lamp factory will be in operation. TIIE BUILDIHO AND LOCATION. The building will be a fine brick structure and tbe location selected is a choice one. An offer of O. II. Ballou to donate the company two lots in the west part of town just across the street from the old fair ground gate, was accepted. The building will be 44x05 feet, two stories hih. and the roof will be made of iron. Tbe citizens generally are enthusiastic oyer the enterprise. Messrs. Ballou and Oppermann who have carried the scheme through to a successful "organization and have it so quickly on the way to the supplying of tbe mechanical department, have worked energetically and continu ally and displayed the business make-up that does not know the word "impossi ble" when enterprise is so plainly practi cable as they see this one to be. The M. E- Seminary. Weeping Water Eagle: The initial movement for this new educational in stitution in our didst was inaugurated Honday evening. Bishop Newman, the famous divine was here to give the mat ter an impetus, which he did to a large audience in City Hall. The Ladie's band opened the meeting with mu.ic, after which Mayor Gibson introduced Bishop Newman to the audience in a few well chosen and eloquent words. During the afternoon he visited the principal busi ness houses, the manufacturing establish ments, tbe quarries, and tho railroad offices, gathering information as to the resources of our city, to see if it was of such a nature and character to justify the establishment of another institution that would be lasting and improve as time advanced. His conclusions were expressed iu words on the stage, where be unfolded his views, his conclusions and his firm belief, that no better place in Nebraska could be selected for tbe ad vancement of tbe cause. The plan adopted to raise the means for this school was explained, a plat of the lands and lots to be sold was exhibited and ex plained by S.D. Fitchie, when seekers after Weaping Waier real estate were in vited to name the number each one would take. Altogether about fifty lots was disposed of that evening. The man agers feel that tbe scheme is now an as sured success and will now go on to a tiiiisb with tbe work so well begun. House Cleaning. "What's the news," asked the scribe, as he stepped up to a man the other day who stood gazing out into the dark Mis souri waters with his bands in his pockets, while an expression rested on his counte some nance that showed he was pondering great problem in his heart. Turning around and placing his arm upon the scribe's shoulder, as if to rest his burden there, he replied in a peculiar manner, but with an assurance in his voice that showed he was in earnest and knew what he was talking about: "Young man, you now look cheerfully into a bright future, with the hope of a glorious here after, (if there is any such thing, and I suppose of course, there isbut you little dream of that time when you shall cry 'ah! woe is me!' and when your wife shall call you up early in tho morning and have you pull up the carpets, with hardly a bite to eat, and you will beat carpets and get your mouth full of dust and your stomach full of dirt; she will have you take pown the stove pipe and trunnel the heavy furniture. At dinner you will not eat at the table because it is not, and the back door step will do for a sitting place for supper. Aud as it comes night, and you wearily long to retire, you tike a lantern and find your way up stairs, across trunks and sofas and boxes and chairs and books and tables till the place is reached where you can lie down auu ui vauj j a tauvi a u cava tui nsl f - r l fiiirflP lanna flian fhlo " Freeze your ice cream with the lightning freezer sold by Johnson Bros. 9wlm isiidi u mmm OF OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF Having . concluded to discontinue this Department, we have thrown on our Middle Counter our Entire Stock, which we are offering at a price that in most instances the material could not be purchas ed for. 25 cents buys a White or Colored Dress trimmed with Em broidery. 50 cents buys a Dress that was made to retail for $1.00. 75 cents comprises everything that sold as high as $1.25. 51.00 buys- a very neat Dress in White or Colors, well worth $2.00.

A telegram from Weepint; Water re ciived this morning tells of a pathetic and thrilling scene upon tbe return of Commissioners Foltz and Dickson at 11 a. m. Upon hearing of the approach of these worthy gentlemen, the brilliant and accomplished editor, Harry Race, with cane in hand, and his elegant form be stride a mule, met these members of the county board and spoke to them as follows: "You were elected by our votes, and for our benefit only, but you act as if the obedience of the law was of more im portance to you than the pleasure of my self and my friends, and you bare acted the hog in elegant shape." PERSONALS- S. Mayer, Guy Livingston, T. W. Jlid dle were Omaha passengers this morning. Mrs. Win. McCaulley and two little sons, returned from a visit to Illinois this morning. Master Joseph Knotts, of Council Bluffs, came down to Plattsinouth last night to visit a few days. . S. R. Johnson and Miss Lou Berger left this morning for California. They go on the Southern Pacific. Mr. Burke Osborn, formerly editor of the Bed Oak Independent was a passen ger through the city this morning. H. T. Porter, who was in the city yes terday, representing the Taylor Manu facturing Co., of Chambersburg, Pa., returned to Omaha last night, having made a successful deal with the Opper mann Electric Lamp Manufacturing Co. A Hard Rain. This morning the theatenings of a storm broke out utll o'clock with tor rents of water from tbe clouds, accom panied by a number of sharp electric ftasbcsd and loud thundering and for a half hour water flowed freely. The sewer catch basins in many places were clogged with the clay which washed so easily and it was found necessary to dig them out during the rain, enough to let the water pass, on Main street as well as elsewhere. A meeting of the Sunday school workers of he M. E. church was held last night to consider how Children' clay the second Sunday in June should be observed. It was decided to hold a missionary prtgraiome. if & o Honor Thy Father and Mother. Young men who come from the coun try to the town, and who get on in the world, are often ashamed of their parents, of the rustic dress they once wore, and j of the simple but honest and kindly ways I of their childhood. And to often when they assume tbe fashionable ways of their new friends they leave behind them the religion of their childhood and for get the piety which they learned at a mother's knee. They have outgrown the priestly dress in which their mothers dedicated them to Gfd, and think her religion old-fashioned and worn out. This is false shame. It is a sin against the dearest and most sacred instincts of our nature. So far from being manly, it is mean aad dastardly. Depend upon it, the man who will have most of the es teem of his fellow creatures and of the favor of heaven will be he who keeps unchanged all through life tbe mantle of heavenly devotion with which his mother clothed him. He who makes the religion of his youth the habit of his life his garment and way of acting all through will come to honor and will enjoy the proud blessings of consistency. His life will be a gracious verity, like that of Samuel; it will have one steadfast pur pose running through it all. The outer life will be one piece with the inner; one part will not reproach the other; and what he seems, that he ever is. Good Words. Spirits Scared tbe Kditor. We don't believe in spirits in any way, manner, shape . or form but Wednesday evening quite a party as sembled at the residence of Mr. J. R. Forrester to have a table rapping, and the results of that meeting were wonder ful The table used was an ordinary wooden one and tbe circle was formed by some of the party seating themselves around it and placing their bands in such a manner as to form a circuit. For soma time the table remained unmoved, but after a little more time it began to bob about and move from one end of the room to the other. Then the medium said that tbe spirits were at work. Of course we didn't believe in that, but as the table raised up from the floor cold chills passed up and down our back and a fit of trembling seized hold upon us. Wo didn't have any confidence in the spirit part of tbe performance, under stand, but we trembled ail the Bam p. At one time the table was raised a consider able distance from tho floor, falling with such force as to break it to pieces. Some of tho names given by the spirits were only known by one of the party in the room; ct other times the names were unrecognized. The messages delivered were, some of thorn, quite startling, and v.ere enough to make a believer of the most incredulous. Verily, some 6trange tliiiigs bapjieu at these meetings, and they r.n: things which wecan't explain at all. Albany (Ga.) News fad Advertiser. Special Lames 50c. on the $1.00 Bargains.
