council was held at the council cham
ber last night with all of the fathers
iu their seat9 and Mayor Gutsche pre
siding. The meeting was without in
terest with the exception of lively dis
cussions on the project tolease or buy
tho gas and electric light works.
Slater, of the Fifth ward, brought
ud the subject as to who was respon
sible for the repair of tho sidewalk on
upper Chicago avenue. lie had made
an investigation and had gotten the
opinion of the city attorney on the
question and ho thought the city
ought to repair the walk. After
some discussion it was decided to re
pair,it the city to bear the expense.
White stated that the cemetery
grounds were beiDg neglected, that
hay and weeds had been left on the
ground and he suggested that the

' Sattler made a motion to have
street commissioner put Fifth street
south of Main and Rock street, be
tween Seventh street and Lincoln
avenue in good passable condition.
Carried.
Miller made a motion to have street
commissioner make necessary repairs
oa Eleventh and Fourteenth streets,
north on Elm. Motion carried.
Parmele stated that F. M. Richey
had i; informed him that if the city
would dig a ditch on Seventh street
leading to Chicago avenue he would
put in a new sidewalk. The ditch was
ordered dug.
Cummins moved that the street
commissioner be instructed to repair
the approaches to the alley between
Eighth and Tenth streets on Gold, and
also to have a few loads of cinders put
down at Sixth and Pearl streets, at
the end of the paving where there is a
jump off. The motion carried.
Slater moved that the street" com
missioner be instructed to do some
necessary grading over in O'Neill's
addition so that sidewalks may be put
down. Carried.
The clerk was instructed to adver
tise for bids for the repair of all side
walks which had been ordered and
had not yet been performed.
ji tins juncture battler started a
lively discussion by bringing up the
question of the city leasing or buying
the electric light plant. Sattler made
a motion to have the light committee
confer with the owners of the light
plant and got a proposition from them
and then have a special meeting of
the council to report their findings
The matter was discussed at consider
able length by the councilmen. Slater
suggested that it would be a good idea
to meet with the board of trade and
talk over the matter, while other
members thought it advisable to call
a public meeting and get the senti
ments of the people generally before
taking any definite action. R. B
Windham came up and askod permis
sion to say a few words on the sub
ject, lie thought it would be a bad
move on the part of the council to
go ahead and make a deal for the
light plant without first getting the
sentiments of the people on the sub
ject; that tho city was already badly
in debt and that a poor investment
at this time meant bankruptcy to
the city. Mr. Windham took occasion
to touch up the newspapers of the
city for not more thoroughly discus
sing the subject through their col
umns. Sattler withdrew his motion
to call a special meeting and the
light committee was instructed to
make a thorough investigation as to
the expense of operating the plant
and report at the next regular meet
ing. The clerk read a communication
from the American Society of Munici--'pal
Improvements in which it was
stated that that society would hold a
convention In Chicago October 14 to
16 and that all cities desiring to
make municipal improvements would
do well to' have a representative at
the convention. The council did not
think it proper to go to the expense
of sending a delegate, but that if any
citizen intended to go to Chicago
during that time proper credentials
could be furnished him and ho could
represent Plattsmouth.
Miller made a motion that the street
commissioner ' bo instructed to do
THE MJffS' LEAFLET '. 13.
(Cut this out and put it in your pocket for
reference.)
In the last lcallet some figures were
given on the wages of labor in silver
usiog countries compared with those
paid in the United States. The reply
may be made to tnose mat, mey are
"too general, not specific enough."
Here are some, from the book of a
well-known citizen of tho United
Statos, who does a large business in a
silver country. This is a practical
showing of the facts, as to wages.
prices of products and tho sort of liv
ing that tne worKingmen in silver-
using countries are able to get on
their low wages, and the cheap money
in which they aie paid.
Mr. Isham Sedgwick, of Richmond,
Ind., is president of tho Indiana coffee
company, with groves near Matagalpa,
Nicaragua. lie also has largo business
interests in this country, and is there
fore in a position to know tho prac
tical workings of both the gold and
silver standards. His own business ex
perience leads him to unhesitatingly
oppose the degradation of our cur
rency to the silver standard.
From tho books of his coffee com
pany ho takes tho following entries
which graphically show tho position
of labor in a silver standard country.
On. July 1 Manning Bros, (mana
gers of the plantation) sold draft No.
3, sixty days' sight, $500, for 117 cents
premium, rocciving in silver 81,085.
In other words, $500 of our money
was exchanged for $1,085 in Nicaragua
silver. Out of this draft they made
tho following paymonts during July,
in the silver currency of the country:
137 days' labor $68.50 and board
Forouian for July.... 25.00
100 pound of rice 12.50
For one bcof ox 22.00
24 days labor 1).G0
Here labor and board are paid at the
rate of 50 cents a daj or in our money
about 25 cents. Rico costs 12i cents
(equal to 51 in our currency) and a
beef ox brought about $11 in United
States money. How would American
labor of the same class like to worl
for the equivalent of four pounds of
rice per day V How would tho Ameri
can farmer like to sell his beef cattle
for $11 a head '
Here is a second extract from tho
books of tho same company.
Draft No. 24, $500,ninety days' sight.
sold for $1,(85 in silvor. Out of the
proceeds of this draft the following
payments were made:
Charles Hasiem, superintendent.
1 month s salary $o0.00
Planting coffoo, 67 days labor,
with board 33.40
Planting coffee, 17 das' labor,
with board 8.00
Replanting, 23 days' labor, with
board 0.00
Clearing ground, 123 days' labor,
without board 03.20
Here labor at hard work is paid 50
cents a daj-, without board, or only 2
cents in our currencv.
From the books of tho Jilgueros
coffee company, the following ex
tracts aro taken:
Draft No. 5, $500, DO days' sight, so'.d
for $1,085 in silver, nnd from the
Nicaragua currency thus obtained the
following payments were made:
;j0 pounds of Hour $ 7.00
50 pounds of salt 7.50
1 cow 18.50
1 yearling 14.00
Paid 3 cooks months' wages IS. 00
198 days' labor cleaning planta
tion 78.00
21 days' labor cultivating

4 days' labor cultivating yuccas. 1.00
16 days' common labor, without
board 15.00
27 days' common labor, with
board 10.70
93 days' labor on pastures and
fences 36.80
Foreman for the months 30.00
Divide each of these items by two
and you will have about what they
are equivalent to in our currency.
Will workingmen vote to put them

Hon. John G. Tipton, one of Ne
braskas 6tate central republican
committee campaign orators, enrouto
to Knox, Holt, Thurston and Dakota
counties, stopped off at Greenwood
last night to visit with his brother-in
law, N. II. Meeker, and get fresh in
spiration from the recent addition to
the Meeker family that came to the
household crowing for prosperity and
prosperity's apostle, McKinley. Mr.

THE FAIR TO BE A SUCCESS.
Preliminaries to the Mettlng of the Thir
tieth Annual Fair Xearly Completed.
Owing to tho unceasing labor of Sec
retary W. G. Keefer and President R.
B. Windham, there is no doubt but
that the thirtieth annual fair of the
Cass county Agricultural society,
which is to be held October 6 to 9,vili
bo the best ever hold on tho present
ground. The changing of the lime
from tho hot and disagreeable part of
September to October is ono point
that will help to make tho attendance
much larger than usual.
Wednesday is designated as cam
paign day. An invitation, accom
panied by a complimentary ticket,
has been sent to all state and county
candidates, and the joint dobato on
the financial quostion between ex
Governor Lorenzo Crounso of Ne
braska, who will represent the gold
standard side, and David Overmyer
of Kansas, who talks on the 16 to 1
side of tho issue, will be one of the
most interesting debates ever held
in Nebraska, as both these gentle
men are thoroughly posted on the
issue. The management have decided
to put the admission down to 15
cents on this day. The bicycle races
will also bo held on this dajr and somo
of tho crack riders of the country are
entered and new entries coming in
every day.
A hotly contested base ball game
between tho Louisville club and the

state will take place.
Balloon ascensions with parachute
leap and high tight wire walking are
also features of theso days. Large
displays of agricultural products, fruit i
and merchandise and other interest
ing features.
Tho management is to be commanded
for its deligent work to make this fair
a success and they will undoubtedly
be rewarded as every indication is in
its favor

"I have boon suffering from Piles for
twenty-five years and thought my ease
incurable. DoWitt's Witch ITazel
Salve was recommended to nie as a

formed a permanent cure."' This is
only one of thousands of similar cases.

Thomas Walling was
awakened
from his peaceful slumbers at about
0:30 last evening by tho leautitul (V)
strains from a big dinner bell and a
