The report that Matt Gering, the well known attorney of Plattsmouth, had flopped from Bryanism to repub licanism was confirmed this morning by none other than Matt Gering him self, says the Omaha correspondent of the State Journal. Mr. Gering is in the city and will probably remain hare for a day or two. It is understood that he is making arrangements for re moval'to Omaha, as he declares that he will make this city his home some time next month. Mr. Gering caused quite a flutter in the even tenor of Omaha's life, lie was stopped on the streets by both repub licans and democrats, the former of whom wolcomed him to the party, and the latter tried to point out to him the error of his way. "I have numerous reasons for chang ing my political faith, which I will disclose when the time comes," de clared Mr. Gering. "It is sufficient to sav that it is a matter of conscience with me." The Plattsmouth attorney expects to make u speech in this city next Thursday night, in which he will give the reasons for his change. He will secure Boyd theatre, if possible,fer the talk. It is quite likely that he will be booked by the republican state com mittee to make several speeches in the state. Married at Fremont.

From the report of the Nebraska City schools just issued, the following items are taken to 6how how the Plattsmouth city schools compare with those of other cities. The report shows an enrollment in the High school of Nebratka City of 183 as com pared with 06 in Plattsmouth, yet six teachers are employed in the former school to five in the local one. The following is a comparison of the m - . expense 01 tne scnoois per pupii en rolled, per year, in the prominent cities of the state: Omaha f 25 36 Lincoln 22 2 South Omaha 20 31 Kearney ? Grand Island 1 Nebraska City 15 14 Plattsmouth 1 0 A gHnce at the above will show that the expense per capita in this city is very low. In Nebraska City only 11 per cent of the pupils enrolled in the schools are in the High school, while in Platts mouth, which is entirely a working man's town, 17 per cent, or more than one-sixth, are enrolled in the High Bchool. This is an especially gratify ing showing. Iu many of tho schools of the state not more than 8 per cent are in the High school department. The general teachers' meeting was eld this afte.aia at tha 'Jjntral building. Mrs. Gish (nee Stoutenborough) was visiting her old pupils at the Central building this morning. Miss Tresham will probably take charge of her room again on Monday ext. The people living in the neighbor hood of the High echool are establish ing the practice of visiting that school for ten or fifteen minutes during the opening exercises, as the best musical talent in the city are generally assist ing from time to time. The senior class furnished an excel lent literary and musical program this afternoon which drew a large attend ance of parents. The percentage of attendance of pu pils enrolled reached the extremely high figure of 97 per cent. One of the most satisfactory features of this school system is the high per centage of attendance, and shows a gratifying spirit on the part of the parents. In addition to this, scarcely a school system in the state can show so small an amount of tardiness. The university entrance require ments have teen slightly changed re cently and some slight changes will be made in the High echool course of study here, and, as a result, it will probably be arranged so that capable and industrious pupils can secure the twenty-eight required entrance credit which will admit them fully accredited to the regular Freshman class at the university at the end of the third or junior year in this High school by tak ing a few extra credits during those three years. This means a saving of a whole j' oar's time to those desiring to go to the state university. This being an anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis, the flags were raised upon the various school build ings. A Treat In Store. Fun of the fast and furious kind will run riot at White's opera house on Monday evening, October 22. The season's popular comedy success, "Ma loney's Wedding Day," will be the at traction, and its revelings of bright, broad humor can bo inferred from the following brief synopsis, which, it is said,gives but a 6light idea of the rich possibilities that is given for the many enjoyable situations, plot and counter plots: Act I The home of Widow Clancy.
