THE APPOMATTOX CAMP FIRE
UcConihie Post 6. A. R. Observes the Aa
niiersary of Lee's Surrender.
On Saturdayevening last McConihie
Post G. A. R. of this city observed the
anniversary of Lee's surrender on April
9, 1SW. The campfire was held at
post headquarters and was a most en
joyable affair.
The headquarters was profusely dec
orated with banners and flags, and the
old representatives of the war of the
rebellion were generally in attendance
with their families. Among those
present could be noticed a number of
ex-confederate as well as union sol
diers. Commander Glenn had his meeting
well in hand and proved a successful
presiding officer. The music was fur
nished by Mrs. Clara Wescott's Young
Ladies' ('.lee club, and the many patri
otic numbers given were highly en
joyedindeed, we may truthfully say,
this feature of the campfire was a rare
entertainment of itself. Another fea
ture of the entertainment was a reci
tation entitled. '-Jim's Defense," by
Mrs. Moore of Omaha, a daughter of
Adjutant Fair of the ('.rand Army
post. Mrs. M"re is an elegant elocu
tionist, so pronounced by competent
critics, and her delineation of the con
federate judge and darky chicken rust
ler was keenly enjoyed by her audience,
she being encored timt and again. Her
recitation of "Barbara Fritchie" was
also enjoyed by all.
The addresses of Judge Chapman
and Mr. Windham were well received,
and were above the ordinary plane of
camptire speeches. Such addresses are
worthy of a much larger audience than
can be accommodated In the post head
quarters, especially "J'.ie sentiments ut
tered by Judge Chapman in the open
ing address, in which he traced the
growth and greatness of our country
from Appomattox to the present time,
congratulating his audience upon the
cordial relations existing between all
sections of the American union, in
standing the warm reception the Chief
Executive was then receiving in the
state of Texas. And, admonishing his
hearers of the duty of all good citizens
to speak respectfully of our nation on
all occasions and cultivate the virtue
of patriotism, were highly appreciated
and enjoyed. Mr. Windham's remarks
were equally patriotic and well chosen.
This camptire marks a prosperous
era in Grand Army circles in Platts
mouth. N. B. Since the above was put in
type the Journal notices the four or
five line mention of the campfire in
the Omaha Bee, by the Plattsmouth
correspondent of that paper, in which
Mr. Windham is the only feature men
tioned Judge Chapman and all others
being Ignored. The G. A. R. people
and everybody else in Plattsmouth
know the man whom Mr. Edward
Kosewater maintains in this city;
therefore, further comment is entirely
unnecessary.
THE LAST MEETING
OF OLD COUNCIL
A Grand Success.
The box social and entertainment
given by the Hock Bluffs school last
Saturday niuht was quite largely at
tended, and proved a irreat success so
cially, financially and otherwise, the
receipts being more than was expected.
Miss Tutt wields the birch at this
school, and is one of the most compe
tent and successful teachers in the
county.
Frightful Suffering Relieved.
suffering frightfully from the viru
lent poisons of undigested food, C. G.
Grayson, of Lula, Miss., took Dr.
King's New Life Pills, "with the
result," he writes, "that I was cured."
All stomach and bowel disorders give
way to their tonic, laxative proper
ties. 2-3cat F. G. Fricke & Co. drug
store, guaranteed.
At the Suggestion of Mayor Gering the
Council Increases Wages ot Street
Laborers.
The council met on Monday night,
it being the last session of the old
council.
A canvas of the vote of the recent
city election was made, and the fol
lowing candidates declared elected by
the following majorities: White, First
ward, 61;Sattler, Second, 64; Larson,
Third, 26; Ballance Fourth ward, 30;
Vondran, Fifth ward, 11. Members
school board: Morgan, 113; Cummins,
33, to all of whom certificates of elec
tion were issued. Tippins, Steimker
and Ebinger were the committee ap
pointed by Mayor Gering to canvas the
returns.
The council refused to adopt the or
dinance giving one man the sole right
to post bills and circulate advertising
matter within the city limits.
It was agreed that the members of
the council will meet with the county
commissioners on Tuesday next one
o'clock p. m., at which time the mat
ter of purchasing a road grader will be
placed before that body.
At the suggestion of Mayor Gering
street laborers will from this on re
ceive an increase to 17 J cents per hour,
instead of 1.3 cents as heretofore. This
will bo appreciated by the boys.
The matter of engaging the services
of the regular street commissioner w as
left with the ingoing council.
The report of the city treasurer
shows that on March 31, there was a
cash balance in his hands of 47,623.
Mayor Gering reported that there
are at present no contagious diseases
in the city all quarantine having been
raised.
Councilmen Larson, Buttery and
Tippens, who went to Malvern, la., to
inspect the street crossings in that
city, reported favorable to the system.
The judiciary committee reported
unfavorable upon the petition of I.
Pearlman, asking that the street in
Mercer town be closed.
The license committee recommended
that the council in the future revoke
all saloon and druggist's licenses where
such parties are found violating the
written instructions to refrain from
selling liquor to parties in such instucr
tions named. The recommendation
was adopted.
The resignation of Charles Gradovi lie
as chief of the Are department was ac
cepted, which action promotes the
former assistant chief, Alf Edgerton,
to that position.
Theordinance prohibiting the main
taining and keeping of houses of prosti
tution, as well as the leasing or rent
ing of houses for such purpose, was re
commended by the judiciary commit
tee for adoption. The report was ac
cepted, the ordinance read for the sec
ond and third times, and adopted.

Session Tuesday Night.
A session of the council was held
Tuesday evening, at which the newly
elected members were sworn in.
Councilman Ebinger was elected
president of the council.
The question of selecting anew street
commissioner came up, and the coun
cil decided in favor of a change by a
vote of 7 to 3, and Mayor Gering was
requested to submit his appointment
for the vacancy at the next meeting.
The question of a committee to meet
with the county commissioners came
up, and Mayor Gering was requested
to appoint a committee, which he did
by naming every member on said com
mittee. A vote of thanks was extended to
the two retiring members, Messrs
Fitzgerald and Buttery, and Mayor
Gering and Councilman Steimker ex
tended some very complimentary re
marks in favor of these gentlemen. It
must be said to the credit of Mr. Fitz
gerald, that during his services of six
years as a member of this body, he has
attended every meeting but four. Mr.
Buttery has also been a very faithful
attendant.
The following committees were ap
pointed by Mayor Gering:
Finance Ebinger, Ballance and
Steimker.
Judiciary Steimker, Vondran and
Sattler.
Fire and Water Neunian, Larson
and Slater.
Claims Larson, White and Tippens.
License Vondran, Steimker and
White.
Streets Tippens, Ballance and Sat
tler. Police Slater, Tippens and Ebinger.
Lighting Sattler, Neuman and Sla
ter. Hopital White, Vondran and Neu
man. Cemetery Ballance, Ebinger and
Larson.
He Was Satisfied.
A young farmer came to the city a
a few days since, intending to go to
Omaha to purchase an outfit of house
hold furnishings, because, as he said,
he could buy what he wanted cheaper
in that city. But he was finally in
duced to step into the furniture house
of Sattler & Fassbender and see what
they could do in the way of suiting him
in quality and prices on such articles.
After going through the store and
pricing the various articles he needed,
he was soon convinced the he was mak
ing a great mistake in his intentions
of going away to purchase what he
wanted. It is unnecessary to say that
he bought quite a bill of furniture
from these gentlemen, and went back
home feeling, no doubt, that he had
peformed a good day's work in buying
at home and getting what he wanted
cheaper than he could have done at
Omaha.
Jsow, if everyone who desires an arti
cle that can be had in Plattsmouth,
will only follow the example of this
gentleman, and first try the home mer
chant before he goes to Omaha, they
will soon learn that going to Omaha
to get goods cheaper is simply a "fad"
long established, and that the same
quality of goods can be bought rii.rht
here at home as cheap, if not cheaper,
than in Omaha.
Advertising Bad Debts.
There is one man in this city who
certainly has a peculiar way of adver
tising his bad debts. lie posts in his
show window the bills of those of his
customers who refused to pay what
they owe him and in this way gives
notice to the people not to trust these
people. It Is certainly rather a unique
way of calling attention to his bad
debts. Nebraska City News.
Cows for Sate.
One of which is fresh and the other
soon will be. Apply at my place, two
miles south of Plattsmouth, on the
Rock Bluffs road Claus Jess.
