to allow its cars that are loarfed
with grain and flour for the Rus

without transferring the loads at
Omaha. There are seven of these
ears off the Union Pacific lines in

About six cars will be brought in
by the Klkhorn road, and all of
them will go east over the North

country will be made up at Lincoln
and will cross the river at Platts
mouth and go over the Burlington.
Before the train that is to be made
up at Omaha leaves the city it will
go through a course of trimming
at the hands of the board of trade,
and as it files eastward, will have on
its sides such language as this:
Nebraska, the Home of King
Corn."

For-
Bit of History Liable to be
gotten During the Flight
of " ime.
The recent presentation to the
city of Kearney of a bronze bust of
General Phil Kearny is made the
occasion for the Kearney Journal
to publish thefollowinginteresting
bit of history:
"In May, 1871, Rev. D. N. Smith,
Hon. George W. Frank, Captain I. B.
Wambaugh and Mr. Wiltze, the lat
ter private secretary of Mr. Smith,
met in the Wyoming hotel, Omaha,
and the question of naming the
present site of Kearney was dis
cussed. As many old settlers will
remember, Rev. D. N. Smith be
longed to the South Platte Land
company and was interested in
locating the C. B. & Q. and B. & M.
railways through Iowa and
Nebraska. It is said he named
every original town on these roads
from Burlington, Iowa, to this
point.
"In Nebraska he began at Ash
land and aimed to name each in
alphabetical order, but made ex
ceptions in the cases of Lincoln and
Kearney, the Nebraska legislature
naming the former.
"From Lincoln comes Crete, Dor
chester, Exeter, Fairmount, Grafton,
Harvard, Inland, Juniata, Kenesaw,
Lowell, etc. After this outline was
formed others sprung up along the
route and these towns had to take
names outside of this alphabetical
formula, such as Sutton, Hastings,
etc. As the letter 'M was next not
used after 'L,' in Lowell, this place
would probably have been named
Minden had it not been for Mr.
Smith. Various names were dis
cussed earnestly and at some
length, when Mr. Smith said:
'Gentlemen, there is old Fort
Kearney, located near the new
station, of national reputation,
already renowned in history and
named for the gallant General
Kearny who so bravely gave h 8
lite for our country and we will call
the new station Kearney for the
illustrious soldier, also. We will
call it Kearney Junction, and when
the citizens get ready they can cut
oh? the 'Junction and have simply
'Kearney,' a name which will give
the place a notoriety and character
at once. So Kearney it was, and
Kearney it is, and if the reverend
srentleman were living to-day he
would be proud of the child he
named more than twenty 3-ears ago.
"Strict adherence to official rec
ords would seem to require a slight
correction to the above. W hen
World's Fair Commissioner A. G. !
Scott, of Kearney, corresponded j
with government officials to secure I
data for the history of the Fort !
Kearnev flagstaff, he was informed i
that the fort was named for Major
S. W. Kearny, who once commanded
the fort under its old name. Thus
it would seem that the namers of
the city labored under a misappre
hension as to the naming of the fort
for General Phil Kearn It will
be noticed that in either case the
second 'e' in the name of the city is
superfluous."

A pleasant evening was spent
last night at the residence of Mrs.
H. H. Hilton in South Park. The
young ladies gave a leap year party
and high five held sway until 12
o'clock, when refreshments of a hi irh

Hyers and Tom Miller won the
king prizs and Miss Clara Green
and Wendall Foster the booby
prize. Following is a list uf those
present: Edith Patterson, Bert

J. A. Lantz is the name of a man
who thought he had a corner on
the whisky market, but officer Mc
Guire gathered him under his pro
tecting wings and lauded him in
the city bastile. This morning he
was brought before ludere Archer1
who administered to him a severe
reprimand and then it was thought
necessary to assess him $r.00 and
costs amounting in all to $11.80.
A GOOD PROSPECT.
Plattsmouth has a Good Show for a
League 'earn-- t us C t
Together,"
Is Plattsmouth to be one of the
eight live cities of Nebraska this
coming year, or not? That is the
question that is irritating the
minds of our base ball enthuiast
just at present. A cit3' is not a real
live, progressive energetic city
unless it is afflicted with a large,
full-grown, well developed ball
club and we are going to be a live
cty or know the reason why. We
will have a club and, if our wealth
will only hold out, it will be a state
league club. After much figuring
and many sleepless nights
our mathematical editor has arrived
at the conclusion that about
six or eight hundred dollars is all
Ihat is necessary to give us a first
jrade team. He has further arrived
at conclusion that we are en
thuiast ic c-hinli to cough up this
amount lliis year and go in and
knock the -: ls o;it of Kearney or
Beatrice or any other thrivinir and
p'oifiessive village thai may bob
up against us For the.uuclt us f
a club we have Miiler. Perrine. tlie
Pattci sons and John Schulholf. If!
that i.-n't nucleus enough we have j
dollars to start with, with a ball
park already in good trim and with
a reasonable amount of confidence '
there is no reason why we can't be
I in it. Tlie next step on the program
I is for the president of the associa
tion to call a meeting of the stock
holders and set the ball rolling.
We can "get together" and start
Plattsmouth out this year at the
head of the procession where it be
longs. "Uncle Hiram."
The comedian, Aaron II. Wood
hull, and his company will shortly
appear here in his latest success,
"Uncle Hiram." The play is a
sparkling New England comedy,
simple but interesting in plot, be
sides having all the elements of
popularity, and is diversified with
good singing and dancing. Humor
crops out everywhere in iL The
role of "Hiram Homespun" intro
duces an excellent Vermont farmer
on the stage. He is good, and does
not overdo the part of a country
jay, but acts the farmer enough o
bring down the house every time he
makes a misstep.
Mr. Woodhull has endeavored to
create a new character in the stage
farmer, and has succeeded. "Uncle
Hiram," while shrewd and possess
ing the good and manly qualities of
"Uncle Josh" in the "Old Home
stead," is more of "the jay" and com
sequent ly creates more fun. lie
has all sorts of tricks played upon
him, and every time Woodhull
speaks the audience yell. He is ad
mirably supported by the comedi
enne and protean artist, Miss Gris
wold, a handsome and talented girl,
who captures the house at once
with her specialties, German warb
ling, etc., etc. If you miss seeing
"Uncle Hiram" at the Waterman
Saturday night, you will regret ii.
