Afterward, he says, he heard that the people of Sioux City had taken the remains. AX AXTI-SLANO SOCIETY. A number of Falls City (Neb.) girls met one evening last week for the pur pose of organizing a ladies anti-slang society. The meeting was called to order and Miss was elected presi dent. Before taking her seat she said in a clear, calm, modulated voice: "Really, girls, I am too much 'rattled' by the honor conferred upon me to give you much of my 'guff.' It is the first time I ever 'tumbled" to anything of this sort and I hardly know just where to 'catch on.' However, I will try to be sufficiently 'up to snuff' not to let any 'tlies light on me' while I am doing the president-of-this-society 'act.' I am 'with you' in this move and we ouht to extend an invitation to the married ladies. Let our motto be: 'Shoot the Slangist.' "Hiawatha Democrat. Webster City, Iowa, is becoming honeycombed with telephones, and every town within a radius of fifty miles will soon be connected with Webster city. The scheme is some thing new and surprising, even to old telephone men, but it works like a charm. An inventive geniu3 there struck upon the idea of making di rect connections with the barbed wire on the fences that run along the prairie. He tried a line first to Dun combe. It was a success and now he has an incorporated company which has just sprung into existence and is getting rich. A line was hitched onto the barbed wire fence to Williams, twenty miles away, in one day, by two men who used only eight or ten rods of insulated wire under the road cross ings that pass over the railroad. He is laying a line to Boone, forty miles away, and if the barbed wire fences hold out he will push on to Des Moines or Missouri. A JUNE OCTETTE. The Fiddile Bug fiddled and the June Bug sung, And the Beetle beat the time ; The Tree Toad joined the tree-o then, And they played an air sublime. The Lark was but for a skylark, top, And the Horn Bug blew his horn ; The Locust sang, and Katy did, And the June octette was born. Boston Courier. Lodges No. 7 and 13, A. O. U.

Judge Chapman is just home from a fishing excursion to Lake Indepen dence, twenty-two miles from Minne apolis, and while there had an exper ience that he is not giving to the pub lic more than is necessary. He and his party had very good success as the fish were biting well, and one morn ing he went to his favorite haunt and succeeded in landing sixteen bass, the smallest of which weighed three pounds and the largest live and one half pounds. These, with what they had caught before would silence the jealous tongues of the Plattsmouth fishermen, so it was decided that they send a barrel of their fish home. Mrs. Chapman, in order to call special at tention to the large bass, ornamented it with an artisticly tied white ribbon. The barrel was packed with fish and ice, securely fastened with iron bands and wire, duly directed, and letters sent to their friends telling them to watch for its arrival. The friends waited and waited, patiently and im patiently, but the barrel came not. nor will it ever come. When the aforesaid barrel reached Minneapolis, the game warden was on hand, and as it is against the laws of Minnesota to ship fish out of the state, he promptly confiscated the entire outfit, barrel, big bass, white ribbon and all. And that is why the judge mourns. Ne braska City News. Word tif Km-ouritgpiiiwnt. Omaha World Herald. Kirkham, Benfer & Wise is the new firm that has taken charge of The Plattsmouth Daily Joukxal. Un der the new management there is every prospect of the paper's success. It prfsents a neat appearance and is full of the news local aud general. The people of Plattsmouth should give to The Joukxal all possible encour agement. The men at the head of the paper are experienced uewspaper men and they will undoubtedly get out a newspaper that will be a credit to the Cass county metropolis. In connec tion with the newspaper business each side has a duty. It is the duty of the newspaper man to wear out his old clothes, bum up all the oil in sight. ind walfc one pair of shoes per month to pieces in the effort to give the peo ple of his town a first-class newspaper. But the people of that town in turn owe it to themselves to manifest keen appreciation of good effort on the part of the newspaper man. Tin: Jouk xal will grow better and brighter and of more service to Plattsmouth if the people will demonstrate just Gi) per cent of the interest ami appreciation that they ought to show in a good lo cal newspaper. The local newspaper is, as a rule, an excellent index of the characteristics of the town in which it is published. A Lfon on Cheap Light. The following, from the Nebraska City News, will undoubtedly prove in teresting reading to Plattsmouth peo ple: "Springfield, 111., in a novel manner has solved the question of cheap lights. For several yens that city has been supplied with light by a private com pany, paying $13S per arc light per year. IIus was considered extrava gant, so an effort was made to have the city start a plant of its own, but this could not be done because the city could not issue the bonds. Then sixty citizens came forward and loaned the city their credit and the electric light plant was built. It was leased to two skilled electricians, who furnished light. to the city at $00 per arc light. The city pays for the lamps used at the rate of 8113 per light and the dif ference between $f,0 and $113 is turned into a sinking fund, which in less than five years will pay for the plant and it will become the absolute property of the city. While that is a novel man ner by which a city gets an electric light plant, it also shows that cities that are paying more than $00 per arc light are paying more than they should."

Written for Tac Dailt Jot'iiNAi.. Ah comical a -cene as one would meet Made Its aovent upon the street. It was a mule, near three feet high, Its mate a hone It was six feet. ' Tied to a pout on South Sixth Btrewt, And as the people pained them by, We oft could hear a groan or sigh. And the midget mule ; It seemed to please To pass teneath the tongue with ease. And the old horse who was so high, Looked beneath with a wistful eye. And grabbed poor muley by tbe neck. As with Intent Us bones to break. The mule would yank aud give a squeal, When he rubbed his backbit h his heel. When the people gathered all around They shouted, "Barnum'a come to town !" Though soon they saw their sad mistake. The comic scene was but a fake. Tbe horse was large, the mule was Hoe, Their driver's name was Valentine. He realized his sad mistake, By driving such acomic fake. He joined the boys and had a laugh, Aud wished that he had driven a calf. GlLHOOLlT. Joun V.

Weep not, friend, there i no knowing; You may be tbe next to pass In behind Life's looking glats. Have you grief and pain and borrow? These will pans away tomorrow: Shades that tilt before the sun, Ended quickly as begun.
