Kverybody should jo to hear him at the Turners' entertainment to-inorrow evening. 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. John JJlack, Hon. J. M. Patterson, Moses Dodge, J. C. Cummins, I'. K. Kuffner, K.K. Todd, and K. 13. Wind ham. The weight social at Mercerville church prov ed a very pleasant enter tainment last night, and turned out the cash for the new church furni ture in fair quantities much to the delight of Kev. llause. Hev. llause will hold div ine serv ices in the new church Sunday evening'. 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. Ci jU i if: 1 1 Pror?'-l i i 1M The council was called to order by President M. I . Murphy in the absence of t he mayor, a 1 1 members being present c--il M i". n 1 -clr The ma or t-oon arrived and took his chair after which the miiiiite--were read and approved. A petition to have !jWM expended on graillil'i" IJevelltll .-treel lielween i Main and Klin and on Vine street j between Tenth and Twelltn signed i by M. S.

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.

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. buiinese Men's Carnival. There will be a meeting of the young ladies and girls at the M. L church to-night, to practice for the carniv al. Ve trust that everyone who has promised to help us will come promptly at eight o'clock also be sure and bring your verse, as we want to arrange the numbers in their proper division. And if there are any business men who have been missed, who would like to "advertise," please send in your name, price fifty cents each. If there are any who want to be rep resented hy more than one girl, you may have as many as you like, pro vided you get your extra girls your self and pay fifty cents fer each girl. Secketary. A VOf M . May '.. l V.M. 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- l-IEl'iIM&NjVS S PL ING J ACKKTS, We are showing a beautiful line and the latest novelties in rogue at prices from 2.a0 to .flO.OO. SPRING WASH OOOOS.

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.
