ITH such goods as we sell,
a "clean up" sale means something to
. .1 1'1 Ti ! ll
you sometning worm wnue. it isn i
simply that you have a chance at this season of the
year to buy clothes for less money than is usually
asked and paid for them; but you have a chance to
buy unusally good clothes at less than usual.
HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX clothes are al
ways a good bargain there's no special reason why
we should ever sell these clothes at less than the reg
ular nrices: they're alwavs worth the money. But
i 1 - -j - - j
we have to buy for each season a certain margin of
surplus. You'd think it was a queer store that
was sold up clean at the end of the season.
So while the new goods for Spring are now
about to arrive we're going to make a place for them
by cleaning up the Fall and Winter stock. The
way we shall do it is by quoting prices that will do it.

We have In our possession a copy
of the program printed for the open
ing of the Waterman opera house
twenty-live years ago. The date of
the program is January 13, 1S85, and
"The Galley Slave," under the man
agement of Hartley Campbell, was
the opening play. The program Is
surrounded by advertising cards
from Plattsmouth business men, nine
teen in number, and strange to say,
there are but three of those
business men now In this city E. G.
Dovey & Son, Sherwood & Son and
Dr. C. A. Marshall. The opera house
opened on January 13, 1SS5, was
burned down along In the early nine
ties, and (the present Waterman
block, In which the Journal Is located,
was erected on the site. The pro
grams for all the shows were then
printed In the Daily Journal office,
as they are now printed In the Even
ing Journal office for the Tarmele
theatre. The Journal was then pub
lished by Mr. Chas. S. Sherman, now
a resident of Bonanza, Oregon. We
also note that the next attraction
was Fay Tenipleton, January 28,
1883. John Waterman, still a resi
dent of the city, and In the lumber
and coal business, erected the build
ing, and he and his son were propri
etors of the Opera House, while J. P.
Young was manager. It fully Illus
trates the many changes that take
place In a town In a quarter of a cen
tury, and how people come and go.
A few of those doing business In
Plattsmouth at that time have passed
over to the Great Heyond, while
others are living In other parts of the
country. While this play house could
not be compared with the Parmele
theatre of today, it was considered
one of the finest in the state at that
time and many of the big attractions
of that date visited Plattsmouth. The
Journal is under obligation to Its
friend, Mr. Phil. Harrison, for a copy
of this program, w ho has preserved It
these long years.
(Note: Since the above was put in
type Mr. Waterman informs us that
Fay Tcmpleton's first visit to Platts
mouth was on the occasion of open
ing the Opera House, and that it was
in 1882, and that he paid her $500
for her appearance on that occasion.
She was here again three years
later.)

The growth of tho sentiment for
pursuing the study of agriculture in
the public schools during the past
three years has been phcnomlnal. The
Bplendld achievements of scientific
farming has made such an Impression
on the Inhabitants of the agricultural
west that agriculture has been pre
scribed as one of the studies upon
which teachers are required to take
an examination before a certificate to
teach will be Issued.
A part of the sentiment bringing
about these results has been caused
by the agricultural bureau at Wash
ington, which three years ago issued
bulletin entitled 'Exercise In Ele
mentary Agriculture riant Produc
tion," Issued primarily for the use of
the teachers of the public schools.
The demand grew so heavy, that the
fourth edition of the bulletin was
Issued, aggregating 22,000 copies.
Nebraska has not lagged In this mat
ter and the legislature some time ago
enacted a law requiring the study to
be taught In the rural districts. Chil
dren of the 7th and 8th grades are
required to make Investigations of
different sorts of soils, and make ex
periments with the different grain
producing plants, they are taught
how the plant makes its growth by
the absorption of moisture, using tin
cans with holes in the bottom filled
with garden soil. They are also
taught how the roots absorb moisture
making the proper experiments under
tho guidance of the teacher, with such
apparatus as can be procured, some
times at their homes, and sometimes
Medicines that aid nature are al
ways most effectual. Chamberlain's
Coueh Remedy acts on this plan. It
allays the cough, relieves the lungs,
opens the secretions and aids nature
In restoring the system to a healthy
condition. Thousands have testified
to Its superior excellence. Sold by F

The subject of seed selection and
the Importance of planting pure seed
la thoroughly gone into, and the boys
and girls are taught to make seed
tests to ascertain whether the seed Is
good before planting. In some sec
tions of the country associations have
been formed among the agricultural
ists and prizes offered for the best re
sults In the way of crop production,
pupils of tho public schools between,
the ages of 11 and 1G allowed to par
ticipate In such contests. In Illinois.
and some sections of the south results
from these contests have been sur
prising. At the agricultural school at th
Nebraska State farm similar methods
have been employed to bring out th
efforts of the farmer boys of Nebras
ka. There ought to bo some organi
zation In Cass county to promote th
interests of the public school students
In the subject of agriculture. Som
of the retired farmers, who still owii
farm lands should feel interest
enough In the cause to contribute to ft.
fund for payment of prizes to th
three best results In growing an aero
of corn, wheat or alfalfa, or any of
the farm products. Only the public
school children Bhould be allowed to
participate in the contest. The result
In Increasing the production of th
farm lands In Cass county would be
amazing, and add to the value of the
land.
