FORTY YEARS AGO. -J- Mrs. Jer.ninps is slowly improv ing. Mart Cutler went up to Lincoln laet week and forgot to bring his wife. Bob Maxwell and Dan Johnson of Weepinp Water were in town last week. Hon. Sam M. Chapman returned from Washington on Thursday morn ing last. The remains of Mr. Lambert, a B. & M. painter, were taken to Bridge port, Conn., Wednesday. He had been sick for some time, and his sister ar rived about a week prior to his death. The sheriff and Squire Jones, the livery man, with Charley Holmes as referee, have some new horse joke every day. Each one tells the best he knows and then proves it by the other two. Among those who took part in Miss Ropers operetta, "Princess Snow drop," played at Lincoln last Mon day eveninp, we noticed Miss Mappie Dawson, who personated the Queen of Enpland, and Frank Stadter, Lord Mayor of London. The operetta was said to be very fine. The Herald had the pleasure of meetinp lately our new city council man from the Fourth ward, Mr. Mc Callum; beinp absent durinp election we had not the chance to become ac quainted before. Mrs. E. E. Cunningham and chil dren returned from Jacksonville, Florida, on Friday last. Mrs. C. is improved in health and was warmly welcomed by her many friends here. She also spent a few weeks in Savannah, Georgia, which place she liked even better than Jacksonville. She brought the Herald pleasant preetinps from Florida friends. A lively little runaway occurred Saturday afternoon. A team came down from Washington avenue, on Vine to Fifth, then down to and up Main to the top of the hill by Mr. Pronger's house, and just as they were about to jump off the bank somebody caught them. No damage was done, apparently, as they were at once driven up the avenue at full speed- On Friday evening last the far famed md plucky little Frenchman, Albert Christol, held a wrestling match with a champion of Nebraska, HrrrT E3 Factory Exclusively" Six Cylinder Touring hand now and will be Plattsmouth, Neb. t called Clarence Whistler. It seem.-: the men tried a bout in Omaha, and Whistler threw the Frenchman, but it was claimed there was some unfair ness about it, and Christol chalienped Whistler to try it apain at Platts mouth, where Whistler would not be surounded by his friends. The hall was moderately full, some of our best citizens attendinp, no ladies and no children admitted. Messis. Sape and Bestor were chosen referees, and Capt. Solliday, umpire. Phil Younp lead the rules of the match. Tm men were stripped to the waist and were not allowed to catch any hold below the belt, no trippinp, no touching of the knee, but fair Graeco Roman, main strength wrestling. Whistler is much the larger man and vhrew Christol the first fall. Christol pained the second fall and strained Whistler's elbow so that he could not use it in the third round, though Christol was not allowed to catch on that side. Christol won the last fail and, of course, the match. Prof. McCune pave some exercises with war clubs, and Christol and W. L. Wells tried the gloves a little. All was orderly and quiet and the audi ence expressed themselves pleased. GELEBHfiED THE FOURTH Ifi FGHTEKELLE PARK Misses Belle and Dorothy Speck re turned home from Omaha Tuesday evening, where they had been visiting with their brother, John and wife, for the past four days. While in the metropolis they celebrated on the fifth of July at Fontenelle park. This was the larpest celebration of its kind, and the younp ladies enjoyed all kinds of amusements, principal among which were the races, ball game, drills and fireworks. The races were very in teresting and were so alluring that our friends participated in a race for younp ladies, and Belle contested for a prize in a relay race and carried off second prize, which was a handsome shirt waist set. In the evening they witnessed the fireworks at the park, which were certainly grand and worth seeing. The improvement clubs, which had charge of the celebration, bought the fireworks, which amounted to sev eral hundred dollars. Union Meeting on Parsonage Lawn.

BAND CONCERT AND TWO BALLOON AS CENSIONS SATURDAY The free public entertainment to be given for the residents of Platts mouth and vicinity on next Saturday will consist of two balloon ascensions, one at 11 a. m. and one at 5 p. m., on the lot on Washington avenue where it was expected to hold the ascension last Saturday had not the stormy weather interfered with the program. The concert by the Bur lington band will be given on Main street at 2 o'clock and will be one of the pleasing features of the after noon's program of entertainment.

"CINDERELLA IN FLOWER LAND" AT NEHAWKA SOON Mrs. Mae Morgan is in Nehawka at present arranging for the presenta tion in that beautiful little city in the rext two weeks of "Cinderella in Flowerland," a very pretty musical operetta for the young folks. This operetta was given in this city two years ago under the direction of Mrs. Morgan and was a most delightful r.d pleasing entertainment and was ttended by an audience that filled the Parmele theater to its utmost capacity and was greatly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. Mrs. Morgan has great talent in the training of the young people in musical work and there is no doubt that in the Nehawka production of the operetta the same success will re sult as characterized the perform ance in this city. The cast will be selected from the young people of Ne hawka and they are now working on the musical number, as well as the drills and dances which will be used in the operetta.

ONE OF THE FINEST AND CLEANEST COM PANIES ENROUTE In order for a carnival company to meet with success these days it is necessary that all offensive and re pulsive features which at one time were a part of each company, bu eliminated. The great sucess in this line of the amusement business of S. W. Bundage, whose shows are to ex hibit here for one week beginning next Monday, is that Mr. Brundage has always endeavored to give the public clean and moral entertainment and has always waged war against the features which are offensive. Mr. Brundage's principal slogan, "our shows have passed the pure show laws," has established for his in stitution a splendid reputation wher ever the shows have exhibited. But few carnival attractions have as spledid a line-up of attractions as the Brandage shows. Mr. Brandage has made an effort to provide the public with a different line of amusement and has surrounded himself this rea son with an assemblage of attractions which heretofore have never been seen with an organization of this kind. Leon W. Marshall's famous 'Happy Days in Dixieland" is the big feature carried by Mr. Brundage. This at traction is one of the best minstrel performances on the road and will please all here.

Mr. Chyma well understands the ef fects of this remedy to n lieve ftom ach ills, to clean out the inte.stir.es and to strengthen the body. It should also be used in diseases complicated with constipation. Price S1.00. At drug stores. Jos. Triner, Manu facturer, 1333-1330 S. Afhland Ave., Chicago.
