Only last evening I'hil Youni sold
a nice bill of jjoods to b" delivered

Mr. Julius Festner of Omaha is
considered one of the finest zither

The M. I, track is Hearing: the
town of Murray at a good rate. The
shrill whistle of the engine will
notify the people of that village
before to-morrow noon that it is no
longer an inland city.
Among others of our early sett
lers who took the train to attend Mr.
Anderson's funeral we noticed Dr.

Moses Dodge, J. C. Cummins, I'. K.

A member of The Hekald force
was at JIavelock last Saturday and
informs its Weeping Water contem
poraries that not a single man
could be found working upon or
about the 11. & M. shops at that town
notwithstanding the reports to the
contrary from Lincoln.
All the fellows down in Liberty
and Western Kock Uluffs precinct
are anxious and willing to help us
celebrate the M. 1. opening here
It will be a big day for Plattsmouth,
a big advertisement for our town.
We trust the committee will see
to it that nothing is left undone to
make the celebration a howling
success. .
The position given to Tom Cooke
is that of messenger clerk to the
governor, a position held during
Uoyd's administration by Harry
Chaffee, a boy of eighteen. Mr.
Cooke's laborious duties are to see
that all letters are filed alphabetic
ally and to deliver packages to the
express oftice. Tom promises to
ride in a hack when he performs the
latter work, or hire a messenger
boy. Omaha Bee.
Among the gentlemen of our city
attending the funeral of William II.
Anderson at Glenvvood to-daj were
Judge Chapman and John D. Tutt.
Judge Chapman remarked that of
the early citizens of Plattsmouth
who belonged to Mr. Anderson's
set, who boarded and messed with
him during- his jnoneer bachelor
days in Plattsmouth, there were but
four left, himself and John Tutt,
still in Plattsmouth, Kli Plummer,
the wholesale merchant of Lincoln,
and Capt. J. "W. Marshall of Lower
California.
There should be a meeting to look
after a Fourth of July celebration
in this city this year, and now
would be an excellent time to begin.
We have given way every year to
the smaller towns about us and we
believe they would join us this
year and have a hurrah worth at
tending. One thing should be done
if nothing more, and that is the se
lection of picnic grounds for the
national association of Stationary
Engineers who have promised to
come down in force from Omaha on
that day.

between Ninth and Tenth.
A petition to change the grade on
North Silh ;-'ircct by red uei ng 1 he
cut about one-half met with some
opposition ;ind was thoroughly dis
cussed, it being clear that all the
members who were familiar with'
the situation favored lowering the
grade. Sals bury explained the mat
ter fiiliv and clearly and Messrs. !
! (rowne, M urphy and Larson took'
part in the discussion which finally ;
resulted in the prayer of the pet i-i
tinners being granted if they got i
the signature of all the abutting!
property owners in the block. j
On motion of Iiioun $10 was ap- :
propriated to lix the street which :
leads to McMakeji's ice house.
The petition of the G. A. R. to
have $."() appropriated was referred
to cemetery committee, with power
to expend that amount.
It was moved and carried that a
committee of three be appointed by
the mayor to settle with the street
commissioner.
The marshal reported the collec
tion of $2 in fines for the month of
April.
The police judge reported that
the marshal had made arrests and
discharged prisoners without trial;
he asked that he be ordered to
bring prisoners before the court.
Report was referred to police com
mittee. Chairman Gorder of the board of
public works made the following
report:
To His Honor, the Mayor and t7te
Gentlemen of the City Council.
We, the board of public works to
whom you have referred the recom
mendation of the board of health in
regard to making a road across the
I .'it M. track at the mouth of Happy
Hollow for the purpose of getting
to the river as a dumping place,
would recommend that His
Honor, the mayor, would appoint a
committee to wait on the H. & M. of
ficials in regard to what we call the
river track and find out if we could
not get that track south of Granite
street to Kocky Point. This would
not only give us a road to the river
for a lumping place, but also give
us the best kind of a road to the
ferrv', which would bring all the
immigration to the city and also
bring us much more trade from the
Iowa side, and as we understand
Mr. Peterson, the ferryman, has said
that if the city would procure the
river track for a road to the ferry he
would reduce the price for round
trip to 50c for two horse team and
wagon. Kespectiuuy suumivteu,
Fkei Gordkk, chairman.

O. A. Hirsch has leased his barb
cr shop in the Carruth basement to
Billy Ilerold; an excellent workman
who will see to it thatthe patrons of
hisshop have their wants carefully
looked after. Mr. Hirsch has ac
cepted a position in the Paxton
Hotel shop at Omaha which he
thinks will pay him better than
remaining here.
To Those "Who Wish to Build.
As well as to those who do not,
consider yourselves invited to in
spect the elegant line of builders'
hardware just received at Brecken
feld & Weidmau's. In their show
windows may be seen as fine a line
of oxydized silver, copper, brass,
bronze and nickel door trimmings
as could be found in Chicago. Call
in and see what they have and get
prices.

There will be a meeting of the

Avoea m a thrifty little city on
the south branch of the Weeping
Water creek, ;iiid is tin' only town
in Avoca precinct. Its existence as
a town date about eight 3 ears back
when the M. p. radio. id was built
thiough here, connecting Weeping
Water and Auburn, and is the trade
center ol a line agricultural area in
I ! 1 1 ( "a a nd ( )oe coil u t ies, being
located not lar from thecouuty line.
I he town donned the garb of incor
poration three years ago, and lsae
what the boys call a "wet", village
board, anil in conseipience two
"Webster k'osewatcr prosperities"
are in full blast. lb-re are found
soi ne of t he best represen 1 a t i ve h 1 1 s-ine.-s
men of Ca-s county
among whom are lion. Orlando
Teill, who is vice presi
dent of the Avoca bank with
( ieo. K'o v la i H 1, cash ier. w ho a re a i so
interested in the South Platte Lum
ber Co. of this place. Moth these
institutions are in a prosperous
condit ion, as indeed is every busi
ness enterprise of the city with
which Mr. Tclft has ever become
identified. Amos Telft is tin-postmaster,
and though above three
score and ten he is piite active and
performs thedutics for "I'ude Sam"
in the most efficient and satisfacto
ry manner. Mr. Telft is justly en
titled to the raukof pioneer, having
settled in Cass county in the year
la7.
The town is supplied with two
general stores by B. C. Marquardt
& Co. and Messrs. Lindemau V
Busching-. Both these firms carry
exceptionally heavy stocks of gen
eral merchandise and enjoy a lu
crative trade which they have won
by fair square business methods
unexcelled by any other business
houses in the county.
Messrs. Graham & Wilkinson are
the hardware and furniture dealers
md carry such complete stocks in
both lines of their business that no
customer is ever compelled to look
elsewhere for the article he may de
sire. They are pleasant gentlemen
md have succeeded in fully estab
lishing themselves in the confi
dence of their large and increasing
circle of patrons.
We found the enterprising drug
firm of C. A. Kaufman & Co. right
in the midst of a rush of business
owing to the fact that they had but
recently received a heavy invoice of
wall paper, window shades and nu
merous other articles commonly
kept in a first class drug store.
This firm is doing an extensive
traffic and is justly entitled to the
popularity they enjoy throughout
the community.
The Hulburd elevator, managed
by J. W. Brooks, and the Bartel &
Co. elevator handle the grain, and
we doubt if any station in Cass
county has shipped out more grain
during the year last past than has
been shipped from these two ele
vators.
The firm of Wilkinson & Graham,
besides conducting the large furni
ture and hardware store mentioned
above, are extensive stock dealers,
and buy and ship perhaps as much
if not more stock during the year
than any other firm doing a like
business in the county. Thej' are
also proprietors of a harness shop,
which is quite handsomely patro
nized by the nianj' prosperous
farmers in the surrounding country.
The town can boast of two black
smith shops, one by Haight & Har
rington and the other by D. Koster
and at this season of the year all
these smithies are kept busy morn
ing, noon and night.
Jacob Opp is the man to call on
if you want an easy shave or an ar
tistic job of hair cutting. Besides
filling this important place in the
village business directory Mr. Opp
is also the jeweler and watch maker.
He is just laying the foundation for
a new building in which to prose
cute his business which, to saj- the
least, would indicate a successful
business career for him since locating-
at Avoca.
Ilenr- Eichel keeps the shambles
and takes pride in supplying- his
customers with a steak, tenderloin,
etc., second to no butcher shop in
the country. Mrs. Nodolf caters
to the fancies and tastes of the
ladies by carrying a fine selection
of millinery goods which she is
prepared to trim in the most ele
gant style and sell at prices that
defy competition.
The weary traveler is cared for by
M. Haight, who keeps a first rate
resturant for a town the size of
Avoca, and by John Huette, mine
host of the Avoca house.
Win. Haight is the genial livery-

tentions than the city of bis choice.
Messrs. Pecham & Sriver are the
contractors and builders of the
town, and like their fellow towns
men are prospering in the pursuit
of the occupation of their adoption.
The physical maladies of the peo
ple are healed by Dr. Brendel, who
is well recommended as a prac
titioner. The Congregationalists have a
neat little church here and main
tain regular worship, so that the
moral interests of the people are
not wholly neglected.
THe town can boast of a large two
story school building, which is at
once the pride of the place, and
which would indicate that Avoca is
with the proceAion in educational
matters. At the present time a
school of two departments is in ses
sion and is well attended.
Messrs. Hageman & Co. erected
as fine a little Vnilling property here
last year as the county affords. It
is a full roll steam mill of thirty
barrels capacity and began busi
ness the first of the year 1S01. So
far has the business exceeded the
expectations of the builders, they
now find it necessary to make an
additition at once, doubling the ca
pacity of the present building and
machinery. It may not be out of
place to say that this industry was
secured to Avoca by the public
