Dr. O'Neal delighted a crowd vl the
M. F. church last evening with what
mat fairly do considered the best lee
turo ever delivered in this city. Mr.
O'Neal is a scholirly gentleman of
pleasing address and his ideas about
Napoleon and his time were clothed
in charming lunguago that never
failed to interest tho splendid audi
ence that had assembled to hear him.
While the audience was largo, it
seemed phlogmatic and cold, natu
ally depressing to a speaker, but the
lecturer took slight notice of this fact,
and entertained the carping critics
as woll as the cheery enthusiast.

As yesterday was the birthday an
niversary of Miss Myrtle Gilson, a

that young lady a pleasant sur
prise upon her return. The evening
was spent in various amusements,
such as dancing, games, etc., and a
bounteous supper was also partaken
of by the guests. Miss Gilson was
voted as a good entertainer, and, be
fore taking their departure,tho guests
expressed their desire to see her en
joy many occasions similar 1o that
which had just been celobrated.
Tho following wore among the
guests: Misses Nellie Huberts, Stella

William Culinhane, assistant fore
man of the sweet pickle department
at Cudahy's, was married yesterday to
Miss Itiley, a will known young
woman of Plattsmouth, says the cor
respondent of the South Omaha de
partment of the Omaha Bee. In order
show their appreciation of Mr. Culin
hane, the employes in the different
departments presented the groom
with a number of valuable and useful
presents. The sweet pickle depart
ment contributed a handsome silver
tea set, tho men in the dry salt cellar
a set of fine parlor furniture, while
from the hog -departments came a
complete sot of Shakespeare's works
and a pair of opera glisses.
St. Jackson Day Kchoen
It has leaked out that Prank Mor
gan, John Gilmore, Uncle Jim Wal
ker, and other members of the Platts
mouth contingent who went to Om rha
to attend the Jackson ian banquet did
not fool away their timo listening to
cheap oratory, while eating sand
wiches at a dollar apiece. The boys
had a better time and showed com
mendable taste, which causes us to
put a long mark to their credit. It
is rumored that they looked in on the
banquet board about 3 a. m., so as to
truthfully say they had been there.

CAREER OF A PRINTING PRESS
IlUtory r the lrrn I'mI In the OIl
lleralil Ofllce For Many Yearn.
J. W. Cox, Hank Hubbard and L.
C. Todd wero last week called upon
to pay a $.00 note, which they had
guaranteed in payment for the print
ing pr ess, bought several years ago,
by H. G. It ice, at the timo editor ana
publi-hor of tho Eagle. L. G. Todd
furnished the money and took a mort
gage on the press, with the above
named gentlemen and some others ua
signers to tho note.
There was never any payments
made on tho note, and when tho Kagie
suspended publication Mr. Todd took
possession of the press tnd sold it to
Ed Greenfield, who printed the Regu
lator on it during its life of a few
months. The pi ess was then movoo"
to Plattsmouth and sold to G. F. S
Burton, publisher of the Tribune, but
like Greenfield and Itaco, Burton
made no payment on tho old 'Fair
haven." When Harry Connor came
hero in 18'.J(5 to build up the populist
party in this county, ho bougi.. the
press of Mr. Todd und moved it back
-to Weeping Water, and used it in
publishing the Silver Blade during
its short life, but as usual in the sale
of this unlucky piece of property, Mr.
Todd did not, get any cash, and he in
formed us some time ago that he
had never received a dollar in pay
ment on tho press from any of tho
numerous purchasers. Thero were
other signatures on tho note, but
somo of tho parties had left here, and
others were rot worth it, so tho three
mentioned had to p y tlu debt, and
they have our sympathy. This press
was ustd for about twenty-live years
in tho Plattsmouth Herald otliee
before it was bought by H. G. Pace.

A Lively Trial.
Waldemar BecK is a tetter violinist
than lawyer, as was made evident in
Justice Archer's court this morning.
Waldemar sued Bucic Neligh for $13,
which he claimed was owing him for
giving defendant's boy music lessons.
Buck and his wife appeared for the
defense and Waldemar for the plain
tiff. The game soon opened with
Waldemar at the bat. He hadn't
eached first base when Buck Neligh
and his wife, in stentorian tones,
ruled him off the track. They took the
Uoor and roasted the plaintiff until
the stir got blue and the urbane jus
tice longed for the old-time quiet of
his early home at Rock Bluffs.
The atmosphere kept getting hotter
for the plaintiff until his claim shrunk
Irom $13 to $4, and the plaintiff
agreed to accept that amount in full
for his services glad at the same
time to escape alive.

White's Opera House
Packed.
Nothing Like It Was Ever
Seen in Platts
mouth Before.
Dr. Potter and stair of the medical
institutes of Philadelphia and 'Craw
fordsville, lad., lectured toi a litrge
audience last niernt.
The doctors are graceful and for
cible speakers and held the large
audience in close attention while they
explained the theory and usefulness of
their wonderful discoveries. Many
promiseswere made which seemed im
possible to believe, but when the doc
tors invited those who were hard of
hearing to come forward and bo cured
Cade Rogers, J. W. Carroll and J. V.
Harrington came up to the stage aad
were made to hear a whisper in a few
seconds.
Toe doctors then culled for cripples
on crutches. O. Guthmann, who had
walked on crutches and canes for six
years,bad a broken leg, after the leg
healed, that giant disease, RHEUMA
TISM, set in, was unable to
walk except on canes and with
pain and stiffness, went forward. He
was operated on for twenty minutes
with medicines and walked off home
free from pain and stiffness.
To say that the vast audience was
astonished and wild would be putting
it mildly. The doctors were warmly
congratulated. It seems like a dream
but it is real. Ministers and doctors
were in tho audience and seemed as
much pleased as any.
They treat successfully the follow
ing diseases: Big Neck, Bladder and
Kidney diseases, Bowel complaint,
Dropsy, Debility, Heart, Liver and
Nerve diseases, Rheumatism, Scrof
ula, Loss of Manly Vigor, all Female
diseases, Sore Legs, all Eye and Ear
diseases, all Throat and Lung dis
eases, and all kinds of Chronic dis
eases. Piles and Cancers cured without uje
of knife.
Office at Hotel Riley from 9 a. m.
to 9 p. m., this and next week daily.
Consultation free. The treatment is
medicine and skill. Will not visit
any other town in the county. All
wishing treatment mustcome to
