Johnson, of this city, enlisted in Company A, First Nebraska regiment, under Captain Livingston, for duty in the civil war, and died at his home on May 15th at over 80 years of age. This company was mustered in at Omaha on June 11, fifty years ago, and out of the entire number of over 100 but six are known to be living in this county. Mr. Pratt and Mr. Johnson met in the mountains of Colorado, about one year previous to this date, and both returning to Plattsrnouth about the time the war broke out, served time for their country and returned to Plattsrnouth, after which Mr. Pratt located in Iowa. In after years Mr. Pratt ac cumulated a goodly share of this world's financial needs and be came a great traveler, visiting many cities and states in this country, and, of course, made frequent visits to Plattsrnouth, a guest at the home of his life-long friends, J. W. Johnson and family. He was quite well known in this city. The only surviving relative of Mr. Pratt is one brother resid ing at Tecuniseh, Nebraska. While Mr. Pratt's death has been expected for some time past, the sad news was quite a shock to Mr. Johnson, for such friendly relations is seldom manifested as it did in the hearts of those two old gentlemen. The circum stances are seldom tho same, and the trueriess: of men's hearts are not often tested as it has been for the past fifty years in these two men. Mr. Pratt was laid to rest at the home of his early life, in Freeport, Maine, where his father served all his life as a great sea captain. Peace to his ashes and all that remains of a noble life. Change in Mall Service. The postofficc department is making earnest effort to cut down as much as possible all Sunday work in postofllces throughout the United States. A new order has just been issued that only such work bo done on Sunday as Is absolutely necessary in tho dis tribution of important mail, which is taken to mean that only first class mail and daily papers must be distributed on Sunday. In ad dition to this the general de livery window will be closed throughout the entire day. Commercial men that have im portant mail coming to I hem can have same come in care of hotels, thereby causing no inconvenience lo them. Upon inquiry at tho local office we find that outside of children very few people call reg ularly for mail on Sunday. This order will probably go into effect about June 1st. In County Court.
