EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO FRIDAY
Anniversary of the Memora! Blizzard of
January 12, 1888.
IT CAME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Remembered by Many Residents in Platts
mouth and Yicinity.
In speaking of the winters in years
pone by, how devastating tbey were
as compared with the present one, the
Fremont Daily Herald recounts the
great blizzard of 1888, which is still
fresh in the minds of old residents of
Nebraska at that time:
"All readers of the Herald who re
member what kind of weather pre
vailed on January 12, 1888, eighteen
years ago today, will please hold up
their hands. Ah, quite a number.
Well, the early morning of that day
gave splendid promise to fair weather,
something like that of yesterday and,
possibly, today, if it dots not storm be
fore night. People were walking about
the streets in peaceful unconcern so
far as to storms and blizzards. Hut
suddenly there came up out of the
west a great cloud of snow which
swept so rapidly down upon the city
that wayfarers were blinded and al
most lost in its fury. One merchant
only two blocks distant from his store,
did not get back there until the next
morning. I'eople could not see across
from one side of the street to the
other. The snow came down in great
banks, and the cutting wind traveling
at the rate of sixty or seventy miles
an hour, piled it and hurled it and
scurried it in every direction. The
blizzard was looked upon as the worst
ever known in Nebraska, and there
certainly has been none so severe since,
Out in the rural districts several peo
ple perished, and there was much suf
fering among people and stock. Those
who lived in tin's part of the state at
that time have never forgotten that
memorable day'
AN INTERURBAN RAILWAY
Will Build to Fort Crook this Year and cn
to Plattsmouth Next.
We clip the following from the
Omaha World-Herald of Monday
which would indicate that l'latts
mouth is to be a point on the new
Omaha & Southern Interurban rail
way: "It is stated by Vice President
Wattles of the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company that
the purpose of incorporating the new
Omaha & Southern Interurban Rail
way company with charter so broad as
to permit it to build to the southern
line of the state, was with the idea
that such building will actually be
done in the course of the next few
years.
"The immediate purpose of incorpo
ration was to enable the street rail
way line to build an interurban line to
Bellevue and Fort Crook, for which
surreys have all been made and right-of-way
bought and on which construc
tion will begin in the early spring.
Mr. Wattles says. That will be all of
the building done on the line this
year.
"But as to next year Mr. Wattles
says, it is quite probable that the line
will be extended on south to Platts
mouth, and the following year to Ne
braska City; and therefore as much
further south as conditions may then
appear to demand'

TOO MUCH JEALOUSY EXISTS
Why Some Towns Prosper While Others
"Fail to Hold Their Own."
The Journal enjoyed quite a lengthy
interview with one of the oldest mer
chants In IMattsmouth yesterday, and
we had the satisfaction of "Retting
on the inside" of many things we never
before knew, and matters that should
be wiped out of existence if the city
ever takes the road to prosperity again.
The jealous spirit among some of
our business men at the present time
did not exist when Plattsmouth was
In the full bloom of prosperity. Every
one took right bold of any and every
thing that was calculated to boost the
town, and the older citizens can easily
remember how well they "pulled to
gether." There was none of this
"backbiting" each other, running
down one another's goods, but if one
merchant did not have just what his
customer wanted he went over to Ids
brother merchant and got it. Now
that showed the proper spirit that
should now be displayed. The mer
chants used to consult with one anoth
er reardin matters that would re
sult in the best interests of the city.
Do they do so now? Not that one is
able to perceive. Instead, however,
if one business man proposes anything
calculated to benelit the city, his com
petitor is now more liable to uet right
out upon the streets and buck against
the project.
Men of capital were driven away
from the city because of the jealous
and bitter opposition of those less in
clined to assist in improving the town.
Such instances were frequent when
the town began to go backward, and
it continued to do soup to within a
few years ago. Merchants and busi
ness men who had become permanent
fixtures here sold out and left, because
of the discord that existed among
those who should have been united on
everything for the good of the city.
This old feeling has gradually worn
otf, as the property owners and mer
chants gradually saw the error of their
way, and it is said by one who lived
here long before the booming days of
Plattsmouth, that there is more har
mony in the movements of our citizens
now than there has been for many
years. The Journal is glad to know
this, and we trust that "harmony " will
be the battle cry along the line, until
the old town again becomes her former
self.
"In unity there is strength.-' Let
us all unite in doing our best for
Plattsmouth the coming season. We
can do much by thus operating to
gether. Cast to the four winds of the
heavens those old jealousies. Let us
have something doing the spring and
summer seasons. And last, but not
least, when the knocker comes around
to your place of business and begins to
knock on everything and everybody,
kick him into the street.
Improveroents This Year.
It was thought by many there was
so much improving done during the
past year that there would be but lit
tle during 190. The theory is not
borne out, by facts and indications be
fore us, and from what we have heard
from those who are posted, there
will be several handsome residences
erected and several business houses re
arranged and additions thereto. A
contractor told us yesterday that there
was going to be considerable improv
ing when the season opens, and he be
lieved there would be more work for
mechanics than there had been in
Plattsmouth for several years.
Indigestion Overcorrje.
Indigestion iseasily cuercome by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, because
this remedy digests what you eat and
gives the stomach a'rest allows it to
recuperate and grow strong again.
Kodol relieves Indigestion, Belching
of ias, Sour Stomach, Heart-Burn. etc.,
and enables the digestive organs to
transform ail foods into the kind of
rich reel blood that makes health and
strength. Sold by F. Prieke & Co..

ifBEN HUR" AT METROPOLIS
) The Great Representative American Drama
j of the Age.
Among Americans who are inspired
by patriotic sentiment, there cannot
fail to be a sense of gratification that
the most important play in the history
of the stage world, is the work of an
American. That play is "Ben-IIur"
the authur General Lew Wallace.
Since its original production in New
York City, the closing year of the last
centuary, it has been presented In
many foreign countries and languages
and all have acknowledged itssuperior
ity. Tiie attention paid it by repre
sentative personages of the world from
the Pope of Rome to the King of Eng
land and the President of the United
States, has worked a healthy influence
among all classes and today it is con
sidered a part of the education of the
rising generation to attend a perfor
mance. Uusually one approaches with mis
giving and regret a play based on a
really powerful novel, but with "Ben
IIur" this is different; and herein lies
one of its greatest charms. The inci
dent of the falling tile, which led to
the destruction of the House of Hur
and the scattering of its members, the
description of the Prince of that
House enslaved and chained to the
oar of a Human galley, the chariot
race, the scouragc of leprosy which
befeil the imprisoned mother and
daughter and doomed them to life
long isolation, their linal healing by a
Divine hand these are the events
which stand paramount in the memory
oftcr reading General Wallace's book,
and each and all of these scenes por
traying these events have been em
bodied in the play and staged with a
massiveness and imagni licence that
make "Ben-IIur" the most important
spectacle in the history of the stage
world.
When "Ben Hur" was presented in
Omaha two seasons ago, hundreds
journeyed from this vicinity to wit
ness it. Now that the announcement
is made that it is to be again enacted
in Omaha January '22, 2.1 and 24th,
with a matinee on Wednesday, th 21th
in addition to the three evening per
formances, interest will be revived
and it will not be surprising if the
attendance eclipses the record estab
lished on the former engagement, for
the public have never stopped speak
ing the praise of this beautiful stage
narrative.

A special from Weeping Water says:
"While unloading long cedar poles
from a car, in the railroad yards here,
yesterday evening, Geo. D. Hunt was
struck by one of the poles.and knocked
off a wagon. He fell on his hip, and
bruised it so badly that he was para
lyzed, and had to be carried to his
home on a stretcher, no bones were
broken, but the hip is badly bruised,
and it will be several days before he
will be able to be about again."
