The I'iattsmouth Kdition.
Mr. C. Halph Brinton, jr., repre
senting Campbell's Illustrated Jour
nal, tho widely-known Journal of
World's Fair fame, and which has
located offices at Omaha, is meeting
with encouraging success in his pro
pect of writing an illustrated history
of Plattsmouth and Cass county. Mr.
Brinton is meeting with tho earnest
support of our leading citizens, especi
ally those are possessed of substantial
and sightly residences, and also of the
city council and board of county com
missioners. Our live and up-to-date
citizens are embracing this rare op
portunity of putting to the front
I'latlsmouth'o inducements to the out
side world of inventors who are con
stantly looKing for a location in which
to invest their rnaney.
The Journal which Mr. Brinton re
presents, has its circulation amongst
boards of trade, real estate exchauges,
trust and banking1 associations all
over the country, thereby reaching
the class of people with whom we
should be brought in contact. Camp
bell's Illustrated Journal gained a
reputation for his publication during
the World's Fair at- Chicago, being
the only publication to receive an
award of honor for high-class illus
trations and authentic histories con
cerning that great exposition.
Tho publication is now being de
voted to the f urt herence of Nebraska's
interests, and no bett.r time than the
present, n ar no better medium than
Campbell's Journal will ever be given
tuo people ot this community to put
before the g: eat mass of people who
will visit the c mmoawcalt h, just such
inducements as ihey have to oiler for
an investment of capital with a sure
return of go id profit?. It is the duty
of erery business man and private
citizen of I'iattsmouth to do all that
is possible to make a creditable show
ing of our city and county's resources.
aDd nothing will do this so well as to
have our principal business block--,
private residences and attractive sur
roundings fully portrayed in the
write-up.
Tho illustrations ar c all copper en
gravings of tho highest order, and the
Journal, aside from its virtue as an
advertising medium of the ci'y's fu
ture, is a work of art that may bo
kept as a souvenir of tho Omaha
'I rans-mississippi exposition, of w hich
it will give a oomph to history, to
gether with high fius ongi avmg of
each building und exhibit. Mr.
lbinton has nearly completed his
work here, and should be liberally
aided to secure all available material
for this most worthy undertaking.

Prof. 11. J. Ulack, who is will

is in tho seu'h, was rec -ntly at his old
home in Vinton, la., and the Cedar

of his remarkable ph rono'.otrical trifts,
says: "Prof. II. J. l!lack,of Nebraska
City, Neb , spent last evening1 in the
city enrouto for his old homo in Vin
ton. He was a guest at the Grand
hotel, and a number of traveling men
and citizjns, including Col. 11. (J.
Ingersoll and party, invited him to
the parlor for an entertainment of
phrenology. Tho professor was. in tho
best of spirits, and for two hours en
tertained the company most royally,
iiis wit keeping the company in a roar
of laughter. At tho close Col. lager
soil approached tho professor, took
him by the hand and gave him tho
following compliment: k'Vou are a
natural born reader of character; you
have the divine spark, the touch of
nature, tho poetic and pathetic in
tuition that cannot bo acquired by
study. 1 congratulate youe You
stand on the threshold of a great
career, as you are the best reader of
character that ever canio under my
observation."

There was considerable method in
the madness of tho "Mad March
Party" given last evoning by the
King's daughters at Mrs. Agnew's.
It was decidedly original in its get-up,
but most entertaini ng in all its feat
ures. The young iadies and many of
the guests were dressed in old-time
costumes and a program consisting
of music, recitations and an oid-fash-ioned
spelling school were pleasant
features of the evening's entertain
ment. Tlie refreshments consisting of
delicious ices, s.indwishes and tea
weie served contrary to the estab
lished order of precedence, to carry
out the idea of its beinr a Mad March
party. Every one had a good time as
the crowded parlors up to a very late
hour testified, and a nice sum of money
was realized by the young ladies in
charge for the church.

served and ihe dining table was beau

Talismanic souvenirs were placed
at each plate which was supposed to
mark the future of tho recipient, and
much merriment ensued when each
read her future lot.
The following couplet fell to the lot
ol one of the young ladies, which
seemed hardly fair: "Full oft shall
thou employ thy art, yet never cap

Miss Shipman, assisted by Mrs.
Shipman and the latters sister, proved
splendid entertainers and a more en
joyable afternoon could not have been
desired by fair the seniors.

A meeting was arranged for last
night at the ollice of J. M. Leydn, of
the populist and free silver republic m

of uniting foi ces in the coming1 city
campaign, with a view to capturing
all the lucrative city olliecs, and pos
sibly winaugurat ing a new system of
government for tho city of Platts
mouth which would revolutionize the
financial, commercial and social sys
tem of government from stern to
gudgeon. The so-called free silver
republican and populist leaders got
together und talked matters over as
to the best methods of saving tho
country, capturing tho offices and dol
ing tiut jobs. Tho boys evidently had
not compared notes, and were not cer
tain as to just what tactics to pursue,
so after "chewing the rug" awhile,
adjourned to meet Monday night,
when it is presumed ttiey will lay
their plans to capture everything in

At a meeting of the board of trustees
of tho M. E. church last evoning,
steps were taken looking toward tho
erection of a new place of worship in
the city. A society that nas paid off
a debt of $11,000 in one year, as was
done by this congregation, is certainly
desoiving of a handsome edifice in
which to worship. We note with
pleasure the evidences of prosperity
attending this organization, and wish
it success in its new enterprise.

Chapman Kevrsed Again.
The supreme court has shown slight
regard for ex-Judge Chapman's legal
opinions and at every sitting where a
Cass county case was up for the last
two years has reversed him. The
latest case of Mr. Chapman's got the
following treatment yesterday:
Cooley vs. Jansen. Appeal from
Cass county. Reversed ard dismissed.
Opinion by Cnief Justice Harrison.
1. The title to lands of which a
man dies seizol which he has not de
vised and which during his life and at
the time of his death was the home
stead of himself and family vests in
the widow for life and remainder in
the heirs exempt from any liability
for the payment of debts existing
against either the husband or wife at
the time of his death except such as
exist or have been created of the
Kinds and in the manner prescribed
in the chapter of the st itutes relative
to homesteads; and this is true
whether she after the death of the
husband occupies the property as" a
homestead or not.
2. The right of an administrator
to possession of the real estate of
which his decedent died seized arises
from its being subject to payment of
debts of the decedent and is not of
force relative to a homestead.
