It is evidently a fortunate matter
for some people that their is no
humane stciety in Plattsmouth. If

be allowed to stand out upon the
streets these cold nights, without the
owners paying a fine for having left
them there to chiver many hours from
cold.

Skipped Out.
The two young gents who came here
about two weeks ago and opened a
photograph gallery In the rooms over
Artie Helps' store, advertising to take
photos for ten cents per dozen, like
the Arab "folded their tents and si
lently stole away" on Saturday night
last, leaving a number of unpaid bills,
and those who paid in advance for
their pictures, are left to hold
the sack while they skip around and
drive In more snipe somewhere else
They are evidently the same fellows
who "sniped" in the people of Beatrice
Jirevious to "hanging out" for suckers
a Plattsmouth. Chief Hyers think
they are the same fellows.
Tom Wide Dead.
News was received in Plattsmouth
on Thursday last, direct, from Shenan
doah, Penn., to the effect that Thomas
Wilde died at that place on that date.
The deceased was well known in this
city, where for twenty-two years he
was in the employ of the Burlington
in several different capacities. At the
time he was compelled to quit work
on account of ill health he held the
position of stockman in Storekeeper
Guild's department. He was a mem
ber of the Masonic, A. O. U. W. and
Woodman lodges, and a noble citizen
There are incidents in his caieer
worthy of imitation by any young man
of the present, which demonstrated
his noble qualities and the love he had
for those near and dear to him, and his
many acts of kindness are still fresh in
the minds of those who knew his ex
cellent qualities so well, which would
furnish material for a good sized vol
ume, portraying the life of a man who
evidently delighted in making those
around him happy. Peace to his ashes.
Turners Elect Officers.
The Plattsmouth Turners held their
annual meeting last Sunday, at which
time the following officers were elected:
Emil Wurl, president; Philip Theirolf,

ger, trustees. George Tartsch and Ot
to Wurl were elected delegates to Jhe
district convention of the Missouri
Valley Turn Bezel rk, which meets at
Fremont January 18. Both are repre
sentative young men, and will reflect
great credit upon the local society at
this meeting. . .
A Renwfcablc Event.
Rev. John Drasek of Halletsvllle,
Texas, writes us as follows: "We
were at a loss to understand the condi
tion of our 16 year old son John. He
always used to be in the best health,
robust and strong. At once he began
to grow pale and weak in spite of all
help we gave him. At last he positive
ly refused to use any medcine an 1 we
gave him up, believing him to be a
victim oi consumption, borne or our
friends recommended to give him
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine and we persuaded the boy to
try this pleasant remedy. He con
senting, we procured six bottles and
could hardly believe what happened.
John immediately obtained good appe
tite, his complexion became natural
and the body stronger. Two bottles
were sufficient to cure him This is
certainly very remarkable." It seems
to be wonderful, but in fact is an
every day occurrence with those using
Triner s American rJixir of Bitter
Wine, the natural wine tonic. It
acts directly on the stomach: the
digestion becomes regular, the blood
pure and rich. It is the best blood
purifier, nerve tonic and muscle build
er. Sold at drug stores and at the
manufacturer's, Jos. Triner, 799 south
Ashland avenve, Chicago Ills.
At Nebraska City.
Mrs. B. M. Stoutenborough, re
turned from Nebraska City Saturday
morning, where she delivered an ad
dress for the benefit of the public
library of that city, the evening' pre
vious. In speaking of the address, the
Nebraska City News says: "The first
of a series of entertainments for the
benefit of the library was held last
evening at the library, and notwith
standing the severe suow storm there
was a good attendance. Mrs. Belle M.
Stoutenborough was the lecturer and
she spoke on the subject, "The Wo
man writers or America." She began
with the earliest writers of this
country and continued down until the
present day. It was a subject that
reauired a trreat deal of uatient search.
and she gave a very interesting talk.
Yfld-OTntcr Excursion to Florida.
The Burlington Route again offers a
mid-wmter excursion to Florida, to
leave Nebraska points Tuesday, Janu
ary 6. Through standard Pullman
sleepers will be run from Lincoln and
Omaha to Jacksonville, Florida, doing
away with the necessity of any change
of cars.
The route will be via St. Louis and
thence to Jacksonville, Florida, closely
following the lines of Sherman's fam
ous march to the sea. - The journey
will be pleasently broken at Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, where a day will be
spent in visiting Lookout Mountain
and other points of historic interest.
Those who desire to stop over at St.
Louis can join the party en route.
The excursion will be personally con
ducted by a representative of the Bur
lington Route, who is familiar with
points of interest en route and in
Florida. After leaving Jacksonville,
the members of the party will have
the choice of a number of attractive
side trips, and may return home at
their leisure. An exceed inuly low rate
has been made for this excursion, and
the opportunity to escape the snow and
ice, the wintry blasts and coal bills at
home is a notable one. " - :
If you contemplate going it would
be well to advise me early. In the
matter of accommodations, you know,
"it's first come, first served." -

the above excursion mailed free to anv

Bishop Bonacum has received an
other black eye in court. It was the
famous Cagney case of Plattsmouth.
According to a ruling of the supreme
court the body of Edward Cagney can
now be removed from Cavalry ceme
tery, Lincoln, despite the rcsistence
made by Bishop Bona.cum and others
who have control of the burial ground.
The right of removal was decided in
favor of David C. MttEutec and Mr$.
Catherine Cagney, half brother and
mother or the deceased, who desire to
bury tne body in the family-lot at
Plattsmouth. The bishop may learn
sooner or later that he is not the

A Tragic Death.
Henry Pierson, a former Cass county
citizen, recently lost his life by being
shot accidently by his hired man, at
his home, near Guthrie, Oklahoma
A burglar had gained entrance to the
house, and Mr. Pierson got up to hunt
the intruder, and was passing through
the hired man's room. He also had
heard the burglar, and as the un
fortunate man entered he shot. Mr.
Pierson's wound was not necessarily
dangerous, it seems, but other com
plications set in causing his death in
about two weeks. Mr. Pierson left
Cass county several' years ago, since
which time he had become quite pros
perous, owning the 1W) acres -on which
he reside.1." ;
