Black, who also departed to the land of the never setting sun to join the loving wife who passed away on Thursday night, April 5th The subject of this sketch was born In Fraziersburg, 0., on the 2t'.th day of January 1847, and on the 1st of Novem ber 1861, he, together with his parents removed to Plattsmouth where he has since continuously resided, winning the admiration and respect of all whom he came In contact with. During his early life In this city he assisted his uncle, J. II. Buttery, in conducting a drugstore, and in 1ST9 entered into that business with his brother Fred and C. II. Smith. They continued in that business until about lS'JO, when thev disposed of their stock, and Charles entered the clothing establish mentof Joe Klein, where he was em ployed until Mr. Klein discontinued his business here. Mr. Black then en tered the employ of C. E. Wescott & Son, where he has constantly been en gaged in the performance of his duty for the past seven years. After his wife's death he was unable to continue his work, and has been confined at his home, gradually grow ing weaker, from the ravages of that fatal malady, consumption, until death finally relieved him. Thus has a kind and loving father passed from our midst, to join the wife, son and daugh ter, who have preceded him. A brother, Fred, and sister, Mrs. C. H. Smith, anil two daughters, Misses Capitola and llannah.recelve the sym pathy of the entire community during this hour of sad aftllctlou. The funeral of Charles Black will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the home. Rev. Salsbury will have charge of the services. Friends desiring to view the remains will call at the home tomorrow morning from 10 to 12 o'clock. Out of respect to the memory of M r. Charles E. Rlack, who has been a faith ful and trusted employe In our store for the past seven years, and whose funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, our store will close at that hour and remain closed, for the day.

While back to the old town he assisted In taking care of Mr. Rosencrans' father, who was 111 for several weeks and at tunes In a very dangerous condition. "Rosey" went to Omaha to meet his old friend and former neighbor, who will resume his Journey to the reservation today The few hours they spent together were most enjoyable ones. F. GILLESPIE THE COMPLAINANT The Matter Will Now be in the Hands of Inter-State Commission for Settlement. W. F. Gillespie Is a grain buyer at Mynard, on the Missouri Pacltle rail road, and has been In business there for several years. By his genial qual ities and paying the top-notch prices at all times for grain, he has now the confidence and respect of the entire farming community for miles In the vicinity of Myuard. For some time he has failed, after repeated requests, to get cars to ship his grain to the markets and it has time and time again Interfered with his business by failing to get the cars necessary to re move .his grain, while Murray ana other tons along the line have leen supplied with more cars than they Two Residents of that City the Victims Of reallv could use.

And w ishes he was dead. SHOOTING SCRAPE AT UNION LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY the present time. Now If this was the only instance It would not he so bad, but the company has repeated the outrage several times within the past six months, and now Mr. Gillespie proposes to resort to the Inter-State Commission for relief. Mr. Gillespie did not like to begin such action, but this discrimination business has become so plain that In justice to himself and his patrons he feels compelled to do so. It Is one of the plainest cases of dis crimination that we have heard of forsome time, and Mr. Gillespie was In the city this morning and employed Matthew Gering to lile the charges with the Inter-State Commission. It does look bad for a railroad com pany to supply a grain buyer In a town six miles distant with more cars than Is necessarv to remove his grain, when Mr. Gillespie is unable to secure what he needs to carry olT even a portion of his accumulated grain, and which also retards the farmers from delivering the corn which they have, sold to Mr. Gillespie, and have a desire to deliver before beginning their spring work. The Journal believes Mr. Gillespie has taken the proper step to remedy this evil, and we will soon know whether there is any justice even In the Inter-State Commission. an Attempted Asslnation Sunday Morning, A lively shooting scrape that gave two of the participants an exceeding ly bad scare occurred at I'nlon about one o'clock Sunday morning. It seems that Mrs. Nettie Turner and Miss Foster came in on the midnight train Saturday night and wore on their way to the home of Mr and Mrs. Todd, where they expected to spend the re maindorof the night, and when a short distance from the depot a man sudden ly stepped out In front of them from behind the corner of a building, and Hashing a gun in their faces began snapping it until It exploded and the bullet whled past over their heads. The ladies were thoroughly frightened by this and ran hack to the depot, from which place the marshal was summoned and a search Instituted for the porpetratorof the attempted onir der. Kvery nook and comer of that vicinity was Inspected, hut no trace of the guilty party was discovered. The ladles wore very much frightened by their thrilling experience, and narrow escape irom death, but could give no description of the man as It, was quite dark at the time. Neither can they Imagine why any one would wish to harm them In any way. Monte Streight Makes Trip to San Fran cisco for Adams Eipress Company. ANOTHER HAPPY PLATTSMOUTH FAMILY John Nemetz Learns That His Brother and Family are Safe In San Francisco. OTHER INTERESTING LOCAL HAPPENINGS From San Francisco Sufferers. John Nemetz, of the tlrmof NemeU .t Foral, has a brother who has been employed In the capacity of clerk In the Palace hotel in San Francisco for the past twelve years, am' when ho re ceived the following letter notifying him that he, his wife and child wore safe, you can hardly Imagine with what joy the news was received by those who have been so anxious for clays to learn the fate of that dear son and brother anil his little family, who were so fortunate as to escape the groat calamity In which so many per ished. The following letter will ex plain the brother's condit ion: "Dear Mother, Brother and Sister: -We are sale from the earthquake and tire-stricken cltv.

K McBrlde and wife, of Aurora, Neb., came to Washington tcday in the course of a remarkable tour of the country. July 13they start ed from their home In a light wagon remarkably equipped with the essent lals to comfortable and Independent travel, intending to see the country They have been at It ever since, cover ing from twenty to thirty-five miles a day. "Mr. McBrlde Is TO and his wife 4 years old. Being well-to-do and not concerned about worldly goods, they set about to see the country In a way that seemed to them most satisfactory. They have ridden all over the states of the south, visiting the important battletieds on which Mr. McBrlde fought during the civil war. They are taking their time, camping out at night when It Isn't convenient to get to a farm house or a hostelry, and cooking for themselves if necessary Both have enjoyed the trip immensely and are in the best of health. "They will look over Washington for a few days and then start back westward by way of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. They expect to conclude the round trip in Just about a year from the time when they left home" Sold Hit Fine Residence. D. II. Mills and wife, of Wahoo, were here last Thursday, and while here purchased the tine residence prop erty of Dr. II. Jensen, Just south of the Congregational church. We are not informed as to the purchase price, but understand It was In the neighbor hood of $(i,ooo. This will make Mr. and Mrs. Mills an elegant home and they will occupy It as soon as it can be vacated. Dr. Jensen has rented the George Carter residence and will oc cupy it until he can build another home, which, we understand he will do. Weeping Water Republican.

Such a service would greatly benefit Plattsmouth as well as result most liencticlally to those having business at the county seat who live In the ex t re.me western part ol the county. As the trains run on that road now, par ties coming from the west side are compelled to come to I'nlon at mid night and remain there to catch the early morning train coming north which Is due here at r::'l. That is entirely too early for the transaction of any great amount of business and return on the next train south at 0:4.' They have either got to do so or wait till 12 o'clock at night, and then again remain at Union over night. Making two nights away from home, while with a train from Lincoln to Omaha they could leave home in the morning and return the same evening. The Journal believes that with a united effort on the part of the busl ness men of Plattsmouth, combined with those of Xehawka, Weeping Water, Wabash Elmwoodand Eagle this service can le Inaugurated. We believe such a service could be made a paying business for the company. It would occasion more travel than Is at present done by the farmers on the west side, and eventually the Missouri Pacific would do an Immense amount of passenger traffic with tli Is special service. Let our business men agitate this matter among themselves and start a movement in that direction, and if necessary let a committee of live be selected to visit headquarters In St. Louis and submit the matter to the proper parties In Its true light. The service Is worthy of a desperate effort. It would not only please the people who come to this city on business but It would result more henctlclally to our merchants than any of them can possibly Imagine at the present time.

CAUGHT IN CUPID'S COILS John Hatt, Jr., and Miss Delia Neuman United In Marriage Last Night. It Is rumored that Johnnie Hatt. the Junior member of the llrm of Hatt & Son, and Miss Delia Neuman were married at Hastings, Neb., Monday The young couple departed from here Monday morning for Curtis, Neb., where they Intended to visit, but It seems that they stopped at Hastings, In the course of their trip, long enough to secure a license to travel as one. When Johnnie presented the wiltten consent to his father, the Judge at Hastings took exception to the signa ture, because he could not understand why the young couple should wonder $0 far from home to get the knot tied; therefore Johnnie was compelled to telephone home last night to have his father allay the suspicions of the Judge, and It is presumed that the ceremony was carried out In detail and that the coung couple are now rejoicing In the bonds of wedded bliss. The young man is well known In this community and has hosts of friends who will be pleased to hear of his mar rlage to such a lovable and Intelligent young lady as he has secured for a life partner. We might add In conclusion that, although Johnnie's friends were unable to ascertain the purpose of his trip, they surmised as much from the reserved statements that he made, and from the fact that Miss Neuman had resigned her position at Henry Her old's store. l!e that as It may, the Journal Joins the many friends of t he young couple, In wishing them a long, happy and prosperous married life.
