HE GOULD NOT STAND THE SHOCK Was More Than His Refined and Sensitive Nature Would Stand, So He Left the Show. A bunch of people came from Elm wood to attend the stockholders meet ing of the Plattsmouth Telephone com pany Monday, after having attended to the business of the meeting, and had their supper at the Riley Hotel, the question of what should be done with the time which intervened until the train should come to take them home which was due at midnight, confronted them. The "Land Of Nod" poeple fairly swarmed the hotel lobby, and with the many winsome faces and wil lowy forms, they sure were a catching crowd, and to stop at the same host lery with four or hve hours to put in and nothing to do, and not attend the show when the telephone stock had paid full ten per cent, looked and seemed a shame. So the Elmwood crowd all concluded to attend. All went, and getting seats together, were chatting along congratulating them selves upon the pleasantness of dame fortune, when up popped the curtain, and appearing from every portion of the stage was a young lady, dressed, briefly, as regards to the length of the skirts they wore. Archie, from Elm wood looked and a crimson wave over spread his face, and hot waves chased each other over his now florid counten ance and he thought of his wife at home if she should know he was in such a place, his eyes fell to the ' floor, only to raise again, but to rest upon the awfully dressed girls, but for an instant, and to drop again he turned uneasily in his seat, and looking around to see if he was observed. No one noticed, they were too busy, all had their eyes glued on the stage, so our hero stole silently away, and as he passed out of the door, took one last look and returned to the hotel. He thought he would await the crowd, but the time grew long and he went to bed and was soon in the 'and of slumbers, forgetting chorus girls with short frocks, and knew nothing more until the next morning, where he was re galed by his companions for leaving the show, for they did finally miss him. He says that they were too much for him. The crowd departed for home the next morning on the ten o'clock train, still joshing their friend. Returns from the West John Rotter and wife returned Sun day evening from a two weeks' trip to the northwest, where they were guests at the home of their son, Vincent, who has a ranch near Cody, Wyoming.

John Fh:!!ips Seventy Today John Phillips is celebrating his sev entieth birthday today. He was born at M cConnells ville, Ohio. February 4, 1838, and has lived in Plattsmouth for about twenty-five years. mim r Position Given to F. C. Weber, Former Super intendent of the Nebraska Light Compa ny, and Former Resident of Omaha. For a long time it has been evident to T. H. Pollock that he had more work in the management of the Platts mouth Telephone company than he could do well and look after business which was connected with the Platts mouth Water company, and at the meetings of the other officers of the telephone company it has been thought advisable that he should be relieved of the position of superintendent of the water company. Repeatedly has Mr. Pollock sugested to the home office of the company in Boston, the advisability of placing some one else in the position thus allowing him a better opportunity to look after the ever increasing business of the telephone company. The home office of the water company was very reluctant to give up the services of Mr. Pollock as their superintendent and were there fore very slow in securing a man for the place. Although Mr. Pollock has handed in his resignation many weeks ago, the water company has sought to retain him, well knowing the value of his services. When it finally became apparent to the office at Boston that Mr. Pollock could not be retained, they had their Mr. Bond, who was making a trip through this country and made a visit at this place and on the suggestion of Mr. Pollock and Mr. C. C. Parmele offered the position to C. F. Weber, formerly Was Looking for Escaped Prisoners C. E. Dalton of Glenwood, deputy sheriff of Mills county, Iowa, was a visitor i" the city last evening, looking for some escaped prisoners, who broke jail there a few nights since, and who might be here he thought. He found nothing after being here for a short time which would justify him in the belief, and departed for home on the late Burlington train.

William Jennines Brvan in the Feb ruary Reader, a monthly publication, says: The railroaa question as it now presents itself involves more strin gent regulation by both the state and the nation. It is possible and necessary for the state and the nation, each in its own fhpere, to extend their control over the railway lines. The state should regulate local rates and local operation; it should prevent discrimination be tween places within the state and be tween its own citizens. It should re quire that the local rates be not only equal between citizens, but equitable to all. The Federal Government, without interfering with the authority of the state, should add a national remedy to the state remedy not substitute a na tional remedy for a state remedy. The Federal Government should prevent dis crimination between places in different states and persons in different states, and should compel the equal and equita ble treatment of all persons interested in interstate shipments. There need be no conflict between the state and the j ; of the Nebraska Lighting company. This change will enable Mr. Pollock to get after many details of the busi ness of the telephone company which the attention which he has been com pelled to devote to the water company as its superintendent has prevented. The office of the water company will be changed from the telephone building to the basement of the Cass County bank, where the offices of the Nebraska Lighting company are now located and will be conducted jointly with that of the Nebraska Lighting company by Mr. Weber. The work shop will be changed as soon as a suitable room can be secured, from the basement of the telephone building, as the room is badly needed by the telephone people for a place to do their work, which is ever increasing as their lines are ex tending and the number of offices and subscribers becoming greater. The telephone company is a very forceful demonstration of good manag ment of t,he business of the company, coupled with the interest that the stockholders and patrons of the system have in its success by reason of the company being a home institution. The water company seems by placing a stranger at its head in the city, and having no one in its welfare other than to make its collections, would be going exactly the opposite direction. John M. Vondron at Home Again John M. Vondron returned yesterday from an extended trip to Ohio, where his father died some weeks since at the advanded age of eighty-five years. He says that the weather in Ohio has been ideal for winter, but on his return he had hardly started when a snow storm began and at Chicago a veritable blizzard was raging.

Two reforms are imperatively needed at this time. First, the present value of the railroads should be ascertained, and this value ought to be measured, as the value of all other property is meas ured, viz, by the cost of reduplication. Second, the issue of watered stock and fictitious capitalization should be pre vented. These reforms should be un dertaken by the Federal Government and by various states. A third reform follows as a matter of course the re duction of rates, state and interstate, until the railroads yield an income suffi cient to insure a reasonable return on the value of the roads, and no more. When these reforms are secured, passes abolished (where they have not already been), the railroad lobbyists driven from the state and federal capi tols, and the Feberal courts properly restricted, the prejudice of which rail road managers complain will disappear, and there will be harmony between the railways and the public.
