The fact that Hie republican party lias Jon? usurped the title of "the party of progression,, was never bet ter exemplified than by th p!i i.-e which mutters political have assumed here in Pl.tttsuoulh during the lat few days. The i lea that the women are deserving of recognition in beinj allowed to sit as members of the board of education, has been carried auto ef fect all over the land aud everywhere n h is b-t-n conclusively demonstrated e a wise move lor the sehoois. In 1 i'tsmouth the women l ave knocked at the convention doors of both parties and it rtm lined f r republicans to ad minister to the mothers a cold rebuke, while at the hands if the democracy they were gladly welcomed. Election is two weeks distant, but the result cannot be other than a popular and complete affirmation of the democratic idea. The city convention of the Platts mouth democracy was railed to order Saturday evening at Waterman's hall by II G. Livingston, chairman of the city committee, and the fifty-eight delegates present immediately pro ceeded to business by electiug Messrs. F. II. White and J. M. Patterson as chairman and secretary. The creden tials disposed of, the temporary org tn izition w as made permanent and th convention was ready for active busi ness. The Third ward delegation presented the nnme of ("has. I).

Wechtler in the af ternoon bv mistake gave the sick uirl the external lemedy and tlie took a large dose o! it. She became very ill. but by calling in a pysieian she was soon recovering:. The act preyed on Wechtler's mind, lu vever, and he iefu?ed tobelieveshe woul d recover. At 4 o'clock 3 ester day he went out into the coal shed, and taking a clothesline, banged him self. A YVrlromn ltailruaI Chance. Tin: Jouknal understands that citizens of Eagle. Eimwood, Wabash. Weepiuc Water and Xehawka are uniting ia a petition to the Missouri Pteirlc management to change tie train which now runs between Lincoln and Nebraska City so that it will run into I'l tttsmouth instead, for the rea son that it would much better accom modate them than does the present arrargement. Most of those people have far more business iu this city than they have in Nebraska City and with such an arrangement they could come to town here in the forenoon, transact u day's business and return home the same rvening. w hile now it takes thern two daj s to make a trip of twenty to forty miles, and. with very wmlia also make a visit to the west part of the county from town much handier.

Hall, J. A. Gutscbe and J. W. Hridge to represent the society as grand lodge delegates. There is every reason for believing that the courts will compel the state officers to call the session desired. The consti tution requires n session every year and it also provides that the constitu tion can be amended or itf. provisions made inoperative only by action at the grand lodge. Members complain that the grand master is attempting to override every precedent and the con- HIS SENTENCE FIXED. Lindsay Gets Two Years at Hard Labor In the Penitentiary. BURGLARS ALSO SENTENCED.

The prisoner was taken before Judge Chapman shortly after eleven o'clock this morning and in response to a query as to what he had to say in regard to sentence being pronounced, maintained a stolid silence. The judge then proceeded to sentence the man, and decreed that the sheriff dur ing the next thirty days, should con duct him to the penitentiary, where he shall be imprisoned at hard labor for a term of two years.

The defense accordingly took an exception to the ruling and gave notice that it would prosecute an appeal to the supreme court. Lindsay w ill be taken to the peni tentiary during the next few days. It is said to be very rare for the su preme court to grant a stay of execu tion in cases of this nature and as a consequence the prisoner will most likely wait the settlement of the ap peal as an inmate of the penitentiary.

COUUT IiOOM NOTES. Judge Chapman was at Lincoln yes ttrday and heard Representative John Davies of this county make an hour's argument against the repeal of the county depository law. The judge de clares that the speech was a masterly effort and in his judgment was really the cause of the defeat of the repeal bill. Objections have been withdrawn to the probate of the will of Edward P. Cagney. The deceased was a nephew of the late John Fitzgerald and a son of Mrs. McEntee of Plattsmouth. A few months after hi3 death a will was found which gave the greater part of his estate, valued at $20,000, to the church His mother and sisters fought the will, claiming that it had been made when he was deranged mentally. It was carried to the dis trict court, where It was settled by stipulation. Lincoln Journal. A Valuable I'ind. Some time ago G. 6.

For the School Hoard Scarcely liecoc uized Jotting. For an absolute lack of interest, Friday evening's republican prim aries were entitled to the most pro digious bun ever moulded in a bake shop. None of the usual workers seemed to care a tinker's darn as to who was nominated for councilmen or what men should constitute the dele gations to the city convention, which occurred later in the evening at White's opera house, and as a conse quence a paltry ISO votes were cast in all of the five wards of the city. The only feature of the entire deal wa3 the sweeping rebuke administered at the convention to the daring assumption that the mothers of Plattsmouth have an interest in the welfare of the pub lic schools. In the First ward Geo. Longenha- gen and C. 11. Parmele were opposed as candidates for councilman. Thir teen votes were cast and Mr. Longen- hagen walked off with the nomination by a majority of one vote. P. D. Bates had no opposition for the councilmauic nomination in the Second and received every vote of the total of eighteen cast. In the Third, forty-nine voters were out and Councilman J. W. Bridge was accorded a unanimous renomination. Chas. ilassmau, who was defeated for councilman in the i'ourth last spring, thirsted for another trial and he had no opposition. Twenty-nine votes were cast. The Fifth ward mustered twenty votes and the councilmauic nomina tion fell to A. J. Graves, who received K it . . J vx. Jl.

The Louisville Courier-Journal takes the following shot at Sheriff Etken bary , and which, in justice to the sher iff, is not a just presentation and does that oilieial an injustice: It is true that Sheriff Eikenbary did a neat and commendable piece of work in the hanging of Hill, but it is also as true that Sheriff Eikenbary is well paid for his services assheiiff, and if it becomes the duty of the sher iff to hang anyone, and it is in the con tract for him to do such odd jobs, we don't ste that he should be allowed a cent more than the law allows forsuch work. This, we believe, is 530 per hpad, and unless he can persuade Hen well to come back from the pen and take the medicine inai is uue uuu, c can't see how the sheriff is to give value received'1 for the J100 allowed him by the commissioners.
