Wanted. A bright, intelligent boy to work in postoflice. Ktiquire of the post master tf CALLING FOR " II Kl -P. Governor Eoyd Seeking Ad vice rYom Members. SENATOR THOMAS PUOMPI REPLY. Senator Thomas Se's Reasons why an Session Would For-h Extra be His Unprofitable. As the extra session agitation is creating quite a stir in this county and as it would likelX please a good many of the citizens of PlaUmouth and Cass county to know how Senator S. L. Thomas slood on the question, the reporter cornered Senator Thomas Monday afternoon before he had time to tie his team to a post and before he had time to tret out of the buiigy, and a conversation something like this followed: "Senator, you have, no doubt, re ceived a communication from Gov ernor Boyd regarding the advisa bility of callingan extra session of the legislature?" "Yes, I have received such a com munication." "Have you any objections to TllE HERALD publirhing the governor's CJimmi nicul ion'.'" "No, I have not, ami if TiK Iki; A L o wants the governor's letter for publication I have no objection.' "Now then, Senator, as the article wouhl be incomplete without you iiusive'-, what is the matter of lllE Hkk-ald publishing your answe here; or"' "Why, yes, 3-011 can publish m answer if you desire." Following is the letter received by Senator Thomas from the governor K:;ecut-ve Depakt.vuxt, Lix co',n, Feb. UU, lSUI-JJir sir Would vou have the kindness to advise me by return mail you jp-nion as to whether, in your judgment, it is advisable for me to call an extra .session of the legisla tuie, and if so, what subject or sub lects should, in your opuiou, oe embodied in said call. Also whether 3-011 think the members of the le isiaiure would agree cpon a rasoo aole maximum rate bill, say a re duct ion from the present tariff rate often to 20 per cem. iHost truly yours, J. E. Boyd, Governor. S. L. Thomas, Esq., PlaUsmouth Xeb. I3y a careful perusal of the above the reader will notice that Governor Bovd asks Senator Thomas what subject or subjects, should be em bodied in a call if one should be made for an extra session. Then the governor goes on and asks Mr. Thomas if he thinks the members of the legislature would agree upon a reasonable maximum rate bill say a reduction of ten to twenty per cent. If governor Boyd is sending out letters to members of the legis lature for their opinion as to what should be embodied in the call for an extra session, why does he jump in and tell them what lie is going to call an extra session for? The time tor him to make an explana tion should be in his proclamation. His epistle looks like he had al ready made up his mind what the extra session would be called for. If he had left out the part in his letter relating to the maximum rale bill, then it would have been different. But to go and ask a mem ber of the legislature what they think should be embodied in the call and then stating himself what it should be looks like a very child ish act. Following is Senator Thomas' re ply to Governor Boyd's inquiry: PLATTSMOUTH. Xeb.. February 120 Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your honored inquiry ot February liOlii. In reply I desire to say that 1 am at all times willing, both as an indi vidual and in my ofhcial capacity, to do my duty, and since the agita tion of ane::tf-a session 1 have con versed with ma 113' of my constitu ents irrespective of party and eu deavored to obtain a concensus of opinion upon whictt 1 can safely and intelligently act. As a result I am constrained to say that an ex tra session is not desired by the citizens of my county. You ask if I thought the members of the legis lature would agree on a reasonable maximum rate bill from tiie pres ent tariff of irom ten to twenty per cent. In answer would say that up on many items such a reduction would be just aud impart'al as be tween the people and railroads; up on many oi her items the reduction would not be sufficient, and still upon others it would be too much. Individually I would be willing to agree upon any bill which would fix ihe rates at a reasonable tigure and which would be just between both parties. As to what is reasonable, the con servative members ot the two houses and 1113-self would agree but as to what tiie extremists would consider a reasonable reduction would be so much at variance with the view of the conservative element that I th'nk it would be impossible with my former experience with them, to agree. The state has been in a practical turmoil and exc'le mentso as to largely unsettle busi ness relations, for some lime past, and althe present time I see no such discord or iicilou as should alarm anyperson or call for immediate action, nor before the next regular session; in the meantime all who are interested could mature theif plans and more fully digest the subjects in hand so as to meet the approval of our con st tuents. The expense of having an fxtra session would be large and without giving the tax payers nn relief than that which couid be giv en them at the next regular session This is ttiy strongest reason for op posing an extra session and is the general objection among the peo ple. Holding these views as I io, it is unnecessary for me to enter upon the question of what other subjects should be contained in the call if one were made, as I think, the two mentioned are the only ones the p ople are vitaly interested in. t rusting that you see your duty as I see mine, I am yours respectfully S. L. Thomas. To Hon. James K. Boyd, Governor. THAT WONDtRFUL LasT NAIL Mrs. Potter Palmer Will put the Finishing Touches on ihe Wo man's Building with Costly Hammr .and bpuve. Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of the bdard of lady ma jagers of the exposition, as already announced, will drive the last uyil in the build ing to be known as the Woman's building. This nail will be fur nished by the women of Montana a I'd w'll be a ery wonderful one, as indicated by the description cf it by the Helena, Montana, Indepen dent: "The nail lias been so made as to form tiie back or cross bar of a brooch, which is to be a shield beariugthe coat of arms of Mon tana reproduced in native gold, and the S3'iubolical figures will be made of ihe same metal, but of different colors The waterlaJl in the fore ground will be of light colored gold sunk into the shield, and the plough and the pick, standing at loot of the falls, will be of a (Jarker shade, as will be the background or relief. The wreath surrounding the escutcheon will be of native gold, aud the figures of the two men supporting the whole on either side will also be of the same rich yellow gold. Underneath will be he scroll, bearing the motto of the state, "Oro 3' Plata," In the two up per portions of the wreath two Mon tana sapphires will be inserted. Instead of merely engraving the ligures, each will be wrought separately- and then fastened together, making the task of shaping the brooch not only a delicate, but exceedingly difficult one, and oue that will require much skill aud pa tience. To Mrs. J. E. Richards of Butte belongs the credit of the happy idea of making the last nail oue of such iuierest. In design the nail which is being made by a Butte jeweler, will be the counterpart of an ordinary twelve-penny nail and will be composed of three strips with silver iu the center and the copper and gold on either side. The nail and the brooch are dis tinct articles and after the former has been driven it will be drawn irom the wood, fastened to the brooch and presented to Mrs. Pal me v. The women of Xebraska have unde -laken to furnish the hammer with which this "last nail will be driven. A description of the ham mer has not 3'et been given but it is the intention to make it worthy of the aristocratic nail with which it will be brought in contact by Mrs. Palmer. It has been suggested that it be made of native Xebraska wood, inlaid with gold silver and pearl. The Noss Family The Daily Progress of Clarksville Teuu. Speaks iu the hisrhest man ner of the Xoss famil3-. A good audleuce assemble at the opera house last evening to see the Xoss Family in their musical novel ties and "A cjuick Match." The en tertainment was very pleasing and refined throughout. Misses Bertha and May in" Won't you come outand play," especial' pleased the audi ence. The mandolin orchestra and he saxophone quintei.e made some exceedingly fine music, the latter being encored twice. The "Sleigh Ride Party'' by the family orches tra wasj beautiful. Every number is worthy of mention but space for bids. This entertainment concluded with the two-act musical comedy "A Cji.ick Match," introducing coni cal complications and perplexities illustrative of modern courtship and matrimony. The acting of II. Xoss, impersonatiog the servant man, and Ferd Xoss, as Arthur Fita KazzJe, the. dude, was espec ially good, affording as they did much amusement for the audience. During this corned 3- many musical specialties were introduced in a pleasing manner. Attention Young Repebiican.

Irregular In IIuMt lie Yet Ha Touches ' of True -nius. lie came staggering down the base ment stairs yesterday at headquarters, the must tiisreputah'e, blear-ecl, drunken Hob that yon could possibly see, says the i. 1. Jumut. tle nut not ' stagger far, but came tumblin down heels fiver head and tried to sneak out of sight under tiie office desk. lie had been on a tpree since Christmas, and Mr. Hastings 'did not know what to do with such a case. It seemed well ni'di a hopeless one However, he gave Hob a good cuffing and the latter curled tip on the floor and tried to sleep it off. "I don't know what to do with him," said Hast ings in despair. "I've a mind to send him up to White Plains and pump him full of biehloride of gold. He seems utterly beyond the reach of moral suasion." Hub Hastings is the hardest drinker in Mulberry street. His character and habits are well known to the authori ties there, from Supt. Murray and In spector Ityrnes down to the doormen and "clerks. Thev oiirht to be, for these gentlemen have seen him stag gerir about in front of the marble building many's the time. They all know what a superb intellect he has and deplore the appetite which is pull ing him down into the gutter, and which must inevitably land him in the potter's field or iu some equally hope less place. There is not a eat Oh, j es. Hob is a cat the big, bol tailed eat of Mulberry street the fe line John L. Sullivan of his quarter of the town. Like John L. the original ! and other creatures endowed with ! genius, he has his little weaknesses, and beer is chief among them. When 1 ever the alcoholic mania seizes upon j Hob he will saunter down to the sa loon at the corner of Houston street and proceed to liquidate like any-other "blood." Although he is far from 18 years of age, he does not find an3' dif ficulty in getting served, and the way he will rush the growler sometimes is a caution and an example. Often he 1 will stay away from home for an en tire week, and when he does return the marks upon him show that he has been indulging in his penchant for lighting to a disastrous degree. He will tackle anything up to a brindle bull pup, and I do not know that he was ever really beaten. Once in a while Hob will go a-h tint ing, lie will catch some hapless mouse or rat, and will proceed to have fun with it, boxing its ears ami, culling it about to his own intense amusement, if not that of his prey. At last, when he has grown tired of playing with it, Hob will kill it with a single blow. Hut do you suppose that Hob will con descend to eat it? Not much! Hob is a high liver. He likes pate de foies gras and truflles and porterhouse steaks with mushrooms. Ife does not care for plebeian rats and mice. Hut Hob is good-hearted under his rough exterior. After killing, the rat or moiie he will go around the corner and look up souk: tramp cat who is not smart enough to catch mice himself, and a moment later you will see that tramp cat sneaking around to find and carry off the carcass to make a tramp cat's holiday. If.it were not for Hob's disease of drink he would be q'uite an ornament to society. I wonder if anything can be done for him. Itliinoceros Horns. The horn of the rhinoceros is noth ing more than a protuberance com posed f f agglutinated hair. Cut it in two, and, examining its structure un der the microscope, it will be found that it is made up entirely of little tubes resembling hair tubes. Of course, these are not themselves hair, but the struct lire is the s:ime. The horns of the African rhinoceros some times grow to the length of four feet. From them the Dutch boers make ram-rods and other articles. His Hope "Was Short-Laved. "Mr. Knjoor," said the church trus tee to the pastor, "we are going to raise your salary the lirst of the year." "Indeed." said the minister. "Yes. The congregation feel prettj poor this winter, but if we can't raise it all we will at least raise some of it." And then he wondered why the min ister didn't seem overjoyed. Remember JOE is the only Clothier that handles Wilson Bros.
