Ill PLATTSMOUTH FORTY YEARS AGO (terns of Interest to Old and New Residents of City Which Were New Forty Years Ago. Perry Gass,, esq., from "'Piety Hill," was in town Tuesday and called on the Herald. Streight & Dilley, new linn down the street. Uncle Jason Streight has sold out a half in terest in his grocery to a Mr. Dil ley of Iowa, and henceforth the firm will be as above, and we hope to see them do a slashing busi ness. Dr. Livingston's office got a gale (the gale went under, you know) last week and upset itself, breaking all his little glasses, medicine chest and such. It took a huge glass of soda water from a young Babcock, the next morn ing after the dance, and righted up again. It is understood that our old and highly respected friend Dea con Mickelwait, put up his ferry boat and fixings against Russell's house and lot on the late election. Of course Russell won, and a re porter from the Herald learned late last evening that Russell says "Mick" can run the boat for a few days, and if he manages things well he will let him keep it ii". shares next summer. Not long since a curious case of affairs turned up in this county. A couple were divorced, , two weeks afterward they were re-married. Less than a month after the new marriage, the hus band came home and thought somebody was there while he was gone. So he gave madam a trouncing and went for the some body with a butcher-knife and the result was, husband was ar rested fur attempt at assassina tion. He is now out of jail and says he's dune marrying anybody or anything. Concert Troupe. Mrs. Win. Winsterstein, R. Windham, Mrs. ('.

On Monday evening as some railroad men were coming from their work, down near Rocky Point, on a hand car, an engine backed suddenly down on them, striking the rear of the car and killing two men instantly.

Can you tell us what is the price of bonds in the city of New York? Is it true the bonds of our city were sold for 80 cents? Is the crisis over? Curious. The lire Tuesday evening proved to be in the house of Mr. Roxby on Sixth street. Although it had made considerable prog ress in the roof, by the prompt action of the fire company and of some private citizens the fire was extinguished, the Babcock engine doing brave and effective service.

Without Pleasure. Al times some people feel dis gusted. Nothing suits them. They have no appetite, they hate society, they find no pleasure in anything. They are not sick, neither are they well. It is evi dent that their blood is poor, their digestion not regular, their nerve power weakened on account of lack of food. You will have to select a remedy which will thor oughly clean out your body, give you a good appetite and strength en your digestive organs. Such a remedy is, as you well know, Trir.er's American Elixir of Hit ler Wine. It is composed of wine and laxative and tonic herbs. It will expel from (he intestines un digested remnants of food and will enable the body to accept and digest enough nutritious food to supply all organs with pure and rich blood. You will receive new energy. Al, drug stores. Jos. Triner, 1333-1339 So. Ashland Ave.,- Chicago, 111. 'Muscular rheumatism will usually yield quickly to Triner's Liniment. Surprise on Boetel Family.
