If you havn't got money put your faith in the town. to invest A storm of wind, rain and darkness struck New York City on Tuesday after noon of this week, resulting iu consider able damage and some deaths. It was doubtless a reminder of a western cyc lone. It still continues to be a fact that Plattsuiouth has a $"0,000 river front improvement appropriation; now a SlO,- I 000 poutoon bridge fund from citizens would let the light of the Star City shine over into Iowa. The commissioners as a board of equal ization adjourned last niht after a ses sion of three days. Considerable work was done in .changing assessments complaints were made. Any change that should now be made after the ad journment would, be illegal. The Omaha postollice site, over whic! there has been such a continued wrargle this spring, has finally been located, the Planters property being selected, whicl is in the western part of the city. The Omaha Jlee, which has tried to influence the selection of the site, was grandly left out in the cold. It js greatly to bo hoped that the opening of the Plattsmouth caning com pany works next wcek'will open up grand and successful year for tht insti tution. The products of that compny will be the best. Some of la?-t ye ir's output found their way to San Francisco, but this year let them go to China. Cass county is still locat cl where she was twenty years ago an.l there is still lots of room for boom and development, and let the building of the court huse and the future bs entered into with the hope that impels all to take hold and build up enterprises hi:ke wlier? there is room to grow and plenty of field for backing. A dispatch from Bismarck, Dakota states that Sitting Bull, the venerable and famous Sioux chieftain, who has ueen dangerously sick wan pneumonia for some time is about to pass into the happy hunting grounds. His name will always be couuectcd with the history of the American Indian. No more noted one ever lived. The abolition of Sunday inspection and drill in the army will be a much ap preciated boon to both ofiicers and men Sunday work has been mentioned as a frequent cause of complaint and deser tion, and if it can be avoided without impairing the discipline of the army there will be at least one grievance dis posed of. The experiment will be watched with considerable interest The Herald wishes to boldly announ ce that the merchants that will take a half or page add, and keep it. will get a bargain, not that any rates are being cut, or that he can have it for nothing, but lie will be paid for putting it in. A live ly add is life in a store and it would give us great plesure to know that fact was more fully realized. Five hundred families in Cornwall, England, are reported to be wearing crape for relatives lost in the Conemaugh Valley. The London 2itws says that a party of Cornishmen left for the ill fated valley six months ago, and expresses a fear that only a few, if any.of its members escaped. The proportion of foreigners among the Johnstown dead seems to be exceptionally large. , Lkt it be said to their honor that in proportion to their wealth the people of the South have responded promptly and nobly to the call of suffering at Johns town. Such disasters show that there a union of hearts throughout the laud. 13 Tiik public iniprovenicnt now going on in the city draws expression of sup prise and almost astonishment from travelling men and others who have made the town monthly visits for yenrt. Verily Plattsmouth is coursing upward. Tun Prince of Wales is showing hia good sense by pntronizing the Paris Ex hibition after his royal mother had re fused to allow her embassador at Paris to recognize it. This is not the first time that Albert Edward has tried to remedy blunders made by Victoria. When the Queen publicly snubbed Gladstone in 1880, the Prince of Wales called on him next day and made peace. Ikon is now used in so many different ways and for so many purposes that the demand for railroad work no longer controls the production. In 1SS8 the new mileage was only half that of 1887, iui i ne production or iron showed a considerable increase. It is interesting to note, also, that one effect of Southern competition lias been to reduce the price of iron so much thot the total value of the increased product of 1888 was less than the value of the 18S7 output. IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENS. A Traveling Man Creates Creat Ex citementin the Empire House- Independence, Ioava, Oct. 14, 18S8. Rheumatic Syrup Co,, Jackson, Mich uents: 1 our Jir. urooks came Here tonight and registered as agent for Ilib bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as ho did so it awakened in me an interest ncyer before realized iu a guest at my house. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story. For yciurg I have been greatly afllicted with inflammatory rheu- matism, the pain and soreness of the joints at times being almost unbearable; could move about only with the aid of crutches. Iu addition to this my stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my day. A traveling man stopping with mo gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities of its combination, which induced me to try it. I have taken six bottles and no act in my life affords me greater satisfaction than m writing you I am a well man. It will be a pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. S. Bowxey, Pioprietor, Empire House, Independence, Iowa. Fold by F. G. Fricke & Co. On the i:de of au Explosion. A doctor happened to bo telling his family of an amusing scene ho had wit nessed at a patient's house during the day. Mr. Brown," said the doctor, was not seriously iil, but his wife really mado matters worse and herself supreme ly ridiculous by rushing in and out like a wet hen." The doctor's son, Bob, a very bright boy of six, was present when his father said this, and treasured his words. A day or tw-o afterwards Mrs. Brown called on the doctor's family, and when Bob canio into the room ho sat down on a stool and fixed his eyes on the visitor. By and by ho asked very serious ly, "ilrs. Brown, do you know anything about a wet hen?" Of course she replied in. the negative, and Bob's faco assumed a very puzzled expression. After i brief pause horribla to his eisters Bob said: "Well, it seerua to me yoi'. ought to.'' Pittsburg Dispatch. The Difference. A great many scientific men havo described in stately phrase the characteristic differences between men and women. Mrs. Frank Leslie, in an article on "Women's Clothes," sums them up, however, in a very piquant and sat isfactory fashion. Siio says: "A woman, it sho were set down ou aa oasis in tho Desert of Sahara, with not a car avan in sight, would peep into the pool to see how sho looked, and would smooth and fluff her hair and pull her draparies into placo be fore sho looked to see if there was anything to eat. A P?an would look first for some thing to eat, and neifc for something to kill. and he would not look into the pool at all ex cept to driul;." There you have a pen picture of the marked peculiarities of the two animals. New York Herald. How She Lookc Grace Greenwood is one of the few women who look liko their pictures. Anj-body who has ever seen a counterfeit presentment of the high, rather pointed forehead, tho promi nent noso, the strong, kindly mouth, the friendly eyes and tho heavy black hair drawn down almost to cover the tips of tho ears, in tho old fashion, would recognize the rather short figure and matronly proportions of the brilliant writer whose pen has not by any means lost its point and sparkle. Mrs. Lip pincott has one grace rare among women or men -she knows when there has been euougb after dinner speaking, and she can win more admiration by setting a clever remark in a frame of twelve words than often repays the most brilliant orator for a twenty minutes' peroration.

SOME OF THEM SHOW AN INTEL LIGENCE ALMOST HUMAN. A Correspondent Ilelutcs Three Good Anec dotes An ArtUau's Kzperlence with Tollr" Thnt Was Full of Fuu The Cat Isn't Such m Lou re t SjSI Some Think. An expert artisan came hero from New York to do some fine Insido work on a Scran- tcn man's now house. It was going to take him three or four weeks to do the job, and wbilo he and the owner of the premises were btundinz near tho side entrance, Just beforo tho work wa9 beirun, the owner said: "As you are to be in my employ for some time, 1 would like to know what uanio to call you. "Oh, call me Matt," tho mechanic replied. and into tho house he went to begin bis job. A few days alter wura he heard some one yelling "Matt!" and ho skipped up stairs to see what was wanted of him, supjMwing that the man he was working for hud culled to him. No one was there, and he returned to bis work on the first floor, but in a little while ho was again interrupted by a voice that yelled: "Hello, Matt! 1 say, Matt! Hello there, Mutt!" and once more ho trotted up stairs. He soon found from another work man, who hod just como in, that the owner of tho property was out of town, and he wont down stairs a little mystified. As he had told his name to no one but the owner of the house, hearing it called out in that way struck him as rathor queer, and, im agining that some fresh person hail got hold of his name and was trying to make a fool of him, he sauntered out und took a turn around the yard to see if he could discover the joker. AND TI1EY WERE FRIENDS THEREAFTER. When he got to the side of the house where ho had told his name to the man he was doing the job for, "Hello, Matt!" rang out again, followed by "Ah, there, Matt!" and tho mys tery was solved. Just over tho fence, a few feet from the next house, a parrot's cage hung from tho lowest limb of a chestnut tree, and tho parrot in the cuge was tho creature that had been yelling at the workman. "Polly, you're a rascal. I'll get even with you some time," the mechanic told the garrulous bird, and the parrot, seeming to know that it had teased the man, chuckled lustily for a couple of minutes. One afternoon, when the family that owned tho parrot were away from home, a shower came up suddenly. The workman heard the bird scream, and he wen and stood iu the doorway and told it to stop Its noise. "Take Polly in; Polly get all wetl" it yelled when it began to rain hard, and the man told it that ho was going to let it get good and wet to pay it for fooling him. "Oh, take Polly in," the bird begged, and, when the shower was thick est tho mechanic climbed over tho fence, un hooked the cage, and gave the parrot shelter until its owner came home through the rain. They were good friends after that, and the parrot missed tho workman when he didn't come around any more. Capt. George B. Thompson, of Adams av enue, owns a cat ana a rooster that are in separable companions. Thoy are about the same age, and they have been brought up in tne Darn togetuer. v nen the tit ten was a fortnight old, a dog killed its mother, and it had to be fed with a spoon to keep it alive. At one timo it looked as if it was on its last legs, but in a few weeks it began to pick up, and after that it grew like a weed. After tho old cat was killed, one of the captain's hens, that had come off with a brood of chick ens a few days before, protected the mother less kitten along with her downy little ones. One of the chickens took a great notion to the playful kitten, and the latter formed a sim ilar attachment for the chicken, anil a3 they grew up tho affection became stroujrer and stronger. Both were male3, and many a time the cat has pitched in and helped tho rooster lick some other rooster, using his claws till the feathers flew, and tho intruujr was glad to scamper away. Whenever the cat got into trouble with another, the rooster helped him out by spur ring the quarrel picker and making it flee from tho yard. Since the cat a:;.i t'.ie rooster became full grown their attachment has been as strong as ever. Once Mrs. Thompson heard the rooster choking behind her, and, looking around, she saw tho cat rubbing the rooster's throat, with hia paws, as if ho know what the troublo was, and wanted to do all he could to remove it. PCSS AS "OLD PROB3." Farmer Ambrose Nollis, of Jefferson town- snip, has a wise old mother cat who pays a good deal of attention to the state of the weather. Ou an unseasonably hot clay puss gave bu-th to four Una kittens under a big currant bush m the garden, and so long as the weather remained warm and pleasant, as it did for nearly a week, sho had solid com fort with her little ones under tho currant bush. A black thundercloud came up in the west ono afternoon and the old cat crept from underneath the bush, looked up at the sky, lashed her tail, mewed faintly, and crawled back. In less than a minute she took one of her kittens by the nape of its neck and lugged it toward the house, making no stop till she had put it dowu on some old clothes in the garret, when she hiu-ried back and did the same with another of her young ones. When puss was on her way to tho garret with the third kitten there was a low rumble of dis tant thunder that mado her hurry faster than, beforo. Big rain drops began to patter oo the leaves when tho old cat cantered toward the bush after the fourth kitten, but she made haste and got it into the house beforo much rain had fallen. As soon as tho shower was over and the sun came out, the old cat went to her nest in tho garden and found a puddle of water in it At intervals of ten or fifteen minutes 6be trotted out again and looked the place over. Puss did this seven or eight times. Tho puddle soaked into the ground, the sun dried the leaves and surface, and by supper timo the nest was dry again. When puss saw that it was nice and dry she lugged her kittens back to her favorite nest, watch ing them almost constantly until there were signs of rain in the sky, when she again car ried them to the garret ft rained for two days that time, and puss kept her kittens un der cover until after the storm had passed and things bad got dried off outside once more. Scran ton Letter to New York Sun. Could Stand It if She Could. While the land "boom" was alive in south ern California, the boomers sought the aid of noted people in advertising their town sites by giving their cities the names of well known personages. Air. Uladstoue, Mrs. Iangtry, Mmo. Modjeska, and John O. Whittier had their names given to several which havo sur vived the decline and fall of the boom dynasty or real estate dealers. At Taeoma, m u asu higton, one of the principal streets was named Wliittier, and an adjacent one Langtry. A friend of the poet's sent a newspaper clipping stating these facts to him, and received in reply the following: "Dear Freexd I thank thee for the slip whit-h states that my name has been given to a street in the addition to your beautiful city. As to the incongruity of the associa tion, I can stand it if Mrs. Langtry can. She mar have as much objection to a Quaker as I have to an actress."
