CITY CORDIALS.
The arrival of summer is announced
by Ma blooming rose bushes, although
the temperature at present is of an earlier
nature.
In last evening's issue speaking of
the estimated value of an SO acre Cass
county farm $4,000 was given instead of
$400.
A couple of Government inspectors
from St. Louis, Mo. were here today and
inspected the ferry boat Katie Peas, and
found her all safe and in good running
order.
The recent rains leave the pasture
lands of the county in a thiving condi
tion to support a good average of cattle
per acre. Corn is also repated in good
condition.
II. C. McMaken & Son's ice wagon,
for half an hour this morning, was stuck
fast in the mud back of Peter Merge's
building. Several horse power were
necessary to pull it out.
Clothing from light summer coats
and straw hats to fur trimmed overcoats
and caps, were in use this morning, an 3
from the appearance of people it was a
puzzler to tell what time of year it was.
Rev. J. 31. Wood, the Baptist minis
ister, will preach for the Presbyterian
minister in Rockwood hall on next Sab
bath (tomorrow.) Divije service na
usual in the evening at 8 o'clock. The
public are cordially invited.
A. large party of young peeple who
have for two weeks contemplated a Fri
day evening picnic at Fitzgerald's forty,
last night concluded to get ahead of tli
weather and held it in Fitzgerald's hall.
It's not often the weather gets ahead of
Plattsmouth people.
J. R. McYey, one of Cass county's
successful farmers has just made a sub
of hogs which speaks well for the stock
raising qualities of the soil of old Cast.
He had twelve hogs, twelve months and
a half old which ha sold this week tr
McDride, the stock dealer of Nehawka.
1 he bogs weighed 4,700 pounds an ayer
age of almost 400! That is a record for
a lot of hogs equal to any. The amount
realized from them was $1 9.92.
Jlbeumaism is cured by Hibbard's
Rheumatic Syrup stricking at the seat oi
the disease and restoring tbe kidneys and
liver to healthy action. If taken a suffici
ent time to thourly eradicate such poi
son, it never fails.
Messrs. R. B. WuJham, F. M. Richer,
A. II Todd, Henry Boeck and Byron
Clark, the board of trade committee to
Kearney, to look at their water power
canal, returned last evening by the flyer.
The canal and its operation is highly
praised by the committee and Platts-
moutlTwill follow suit at an early date,
even after a more extensive plan.
Acute and chronic rheumatism can be
effectually and permanently cured by
the use of Hibbard's Rheumatic Syruj
and Plaster.
When it comes to a land for farmers
to prosper in. none is better than Cass
a a
county. A drive across this county in any
direction will not fan to convince one
that the farmer that understands raanag
ing will not fail to prosper with the fav
orable seasons that Nebraska climate af-
lord. It is also a cheering and comfort
able appearance that is presented by the
many good barns which haye been erect
ed in the last few years, and iu which
the owners take an honest pride. In the
neighborhood ofjtbe corners of Eight
Mile Grove and Centre precincts are sev
eral lirge and well planned barns good
samples of the best in the country. They
are located on the farms of Jacob Tritsch,
size 40x4$; John Henning, 42x00 and
Martin Frederick, 42x43; good healthy
and high basements for stock, and are
planned for farmers' economy by Geo.
Merkle the contractor of that vicinity.
THE JOKER
Today's sunshine is acceptable.
Recently people have not walked home
in the starlight.
A few days of bright Bunshine will
convince the doubtful that it is summer.
The Jokkk is confident that he can
state, without prevarication, that Platts
mouth can't be beat. In saying this he
has reference both to her ball club and
the town at large.
Now is the time of year that the man
with an arm burnt with mustard aud an
eye put out with powder, but securely
joneealed by a dark gogle, comes to the
bubk door and with a pitiful jing-o-ling
says "Please ma'am, can't you give a poor
tnan sorathincr to help him. lie was in
the terrible explosion at Kallamazoo and
is trying to get to Nebraska City." Bread
ii acceptable but money is preferred.
Bread gets to the alley and money to the
nearest saloon.
It is an actual fact that the town is
impressing outsiders with the fact there
are material changes going on in her
midst. One eyening as Tun Joker prop
ped himself against the Nation Bank
corner and was gazing at the types of
humanity that were were passing he
noticed an honest faced elderly couple
coming up the street in their Sunday
best, shawl, valise and cane, evidently,
having just got off the train. They
didn't leok like city folk, but reminded
one that they bad come to visit and
would be glad when they got to the
stopping place. They came to the bank
corner ank stopped. The old gentleman
gazed across the street earnestly for a few
moments, and at the same time
seemed somewhat amazed. His
better half stood by holding his arm
seemingly innocent of what he was pon
dering in his heart and waiting for him
to proceed. Then with apparaat astonish
ment the old man turned to a bystander
and exclaimed "Where's that hotel gone
to?"
The effect of using Hibbard's Rheuma
tic Syrup is unlike all medicines contain
ing opiates or poisens, it being entirely
free from them. It cures rheumatism by
purifying the blood.

You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu

joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about only with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this tny stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my day. A

quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
