WHERE ARE WE AT M. P. Turn-Table Suddenly Vanishes From Our City. ENTHUSIASTIC BASEBALL TOWN LoulivtlU Abounds With Lovers of the National Game Cbarles Flttmanof Union Kccelvea Serious In juries Other Items. Turn-Table Gone From Us. Work on tne Missouri Paciflc's new turntable out near the company's depot, has been rushed, and the structure was fast nearing completion when word was received here Tues day afternoon to have the work stopped and the material shipped back to Omaha. A Journal reporter vis ited the scene yesterday and found everything pertaining to a turn-table loaded on flat cars with the exception of the hole, which will probably be left here. Just what this new move means is a conjecture at present, but the big howl set up by the Nebraska City business men may have had something to do with it. On the other hand, it comes from quite a reliable source that the board of trade and commercial club of Omaha demanded that the train be run on to that city, instead of here, and it is likely that this is the real cause why Plattsmouth didn't get the turn-table. It is rumored ,ho wever, that the new plan of the M. P. officials will prove a greater benefit to the town than the turn-table possibly could be. If this scheme is carried into effect, the Lincoln passenger train will probably run via this city and Omaha, and it will be arranged so that the train will arrive here at about 7:30 in the morning. It is also reported that if this latter plan is a "go" it will be arranged to run four passenger trains daily each way, in stead of two, as is now being done. The only benefit that would accrue to this town by putting in the turn table would be the fact that probably two or three trainmen would get din ner here occasionally. Louisville and Base Ball. Time was when a large number of Plattsmouth people were deeply en thused over base ball, and the small boys in town (and big ones, too) talked of little save base hits, runs and put oute. But it is safe to say the average citizen of Louisville does more base ball talking this summer than the most enthusiastic Plattsmouth crank ever did. The peculiar reason for this is not because Louisville has a ball team, or that its team belongs to the county league, for both of these things are true ; but, what is of far more con sequence, its ball team is at the head of the county league, and it now looks very much as if its team was certain to win the penant for the season. Last Saturday a game was played with the Manley club and, notwith standing it is agaiest the rule, four players were borrowed by the Manley club from the Weeping Water club, and one from Murray, and still the Louisville club came off winners by the score of nineteen to eight. During the first inning Clint Andrews, catcher for the Manley team had the misfortune of having a com pound fracture of his thumb, the bone of which protraded through the flesh at the joint. Another catcher was substituted and the game proceeded. When the boys got back to Louisville the town went wild over their victory. The following are the names of the penant winners: McNeely catcher, Wood pitcher. Graves 1st base, Par inele 2d base, Urwin 3d base, Keichart short, Teodorski left fielder, Nichols center and Kaohler right, with In helder and Prebble as substitutes. Fred Warren played with the boys Saturday. Serious Accident. Charles Pittman was run over and seriously injured by a runaway team Monday morning at his father's resi dence north of town. lie was stand ing in front of the team, when some fighting dogs and a thrashing machine frightened the horses and caused them to dash forward, knocking Charlie down with terrific force and bruising him about the shoulders. The wheels of the heavy wagon passed over his head, and he was picked up uncon scious by his father, who stood near by. He was taken home and a physi cian hastily summoned. An examina tion showed that he was badly bruised but there was no indication of internal injury. He is very sore and will be confined to his bed for some time. He is very fortunate in escaping with his life, his father thinking that he was dead when he picked him up. Union Ledger. Henry Gable, the Louisville farmer who filled Steinkamp's back with shot recently, was in town Saturday. It is reported that be is making strenuous efforts to settle .the matter out of court. For a clean, cool, sweet smoke Flor tie Pepperberg, Buds and Bock'y are superior to any other brands of cigars in this western country. J. Pepperberg, Mf'r. PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT. Deputy Sheriff Harvey Holloway resigned his position Monday, and will hereafter be a private citizen unless he should be fortunate enough to be elected sheriff. A Journal re porter inquired of him his reason for taking this step. "The public gener ally is aware," said he, "that I am a candidate for Bheriff , and also that my chief, Mr. Eikenbary, is a candidate for renomination. This caused a clash of interests that might be embarras sing to him, and not be of any benefit tome. Hence I preferred on my own account as well as because of my oflicial relations to him to be free. There are those of his friends who pos sibly objected to my candidacy, while there are doubtless friends of mine who would dislike the idea of support ing me while there was any room for thinking there was a combination be tween us. Now I can pursue my own course, with the assurance to the public that there is no com bination present or prospective be tweeu Sheriff Eikenbary and myself. My candidacy is my own affair, and I have made no promises, pledges or combinations with anybody, or for any purpose. It's a fair field and a free fight and may the best man win." He has an idea that there are more repub licans who prefer him than there are who prefer Mr. Eikenbary. It is un derstood, outside, that there is no great amount of friendship between them. An ingenious distillerhasdiscovered a process for making whiskey that does not contain a single jag in a gallon of it. The failure of the article as a speculation is inevitable, and it would be wise in the agents of the manufac turer to refrain lrom soliciting trade for it in Kentucky. Boston Herald. "Fall City, Beatrice, Fremont Paw nee City and Plattsmouth are all busy organizing commercial clubs and busi ness men in those towns are awaken ing to their interests with a vim. What is Nebraska City going to do V" Nebraska City Press. Plattsmouth's commercial club has been organized for several months. Pierce county farmers are doing some pretty big boasting on their crops, but Jake Luft of Cullum, this county, says that while the drouth has effected crops of small grain in Cass county considerably, he has no com plaint to make when he can raise loO bushels of oats per acre, off a 30-acre field. It didn't take more than lo pounds of twine to the acre to bind the oats, either. Will Pierce county farmers hold their breaths awhile ami think of that ? About two millions of gold are to be shipped to Europe this week. We've got so much more than we need in this country, you know, that it is overflow ing the market and running away to Europe where they need it so badly. The editorial fraternity of Nebraska are making the cause of W. S. Baker of the Gretna Reporter their own. A subscription has been started to raise a fund for his defense, and is meeting with a liberal response. It is being shown that while judicial tyranny may for the time being override the law and trample down the constitution of the state, it cannot strike down an honest hard-working member of the frater nity, simply because he is poor. Let the good work go on. Every publisher in the state ought to throw in his mite, and by so doing defend his own hearthstone. Ashland Gazette. The farmers of Nebraska have more reason to fear an early frost than hot winds or drouth from this time on. Our nights are unusually cool for August and may be the precursors of blighting frosts. Extremes kill scorching blasts on the one hand and hoary frosts on the other. It is pos sible for one to come within a week of the other, yet not highly probable. Bee. While the Chicago detectives were working on the Holmes case and claim ing to find clues in fish bones, the newspaper men were getting at the facts and exploding the ridiculous the ories of the police.

Eluekton' Star: The democracy of Georgia stands today pledged to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The democrats of Georgia are bimetallists true and simple, pledged to the use of gold and silver without dis crimination. Silver and cotton keep hand in hand and no substantial aid can come to the price of the latter except through an advance in the former. How im portant then it is for the cause of tlw farmer that the silver cause shou'd triumph. Heaven speed the day! La Grange Graphic. The News some days ago published the statement that the formal an nouncement of Jacob Tiitsch as a dem ocratic candidate for treasurer had been made. Will the News state where that "formal announcement" was made? We have it from his brother Phillip, that it is not true that Mr. Tritsch has told no one that he was a candidate. The News' "formal an nouncements" are not to be relied on. Toe report is current in democratic circles that the supporters of the ad ministration's gold policy do not ex pect to do much work for the demo cratic ticket unless they are given places on the state delegation, and are allowed to express their sentiments on the money question in the making up of the platform. On the other hand, it is said that this de mand is unreasonable and cannot be complied with in any consistency whatever. The silver supporters con tend that the essence of democracy is the rule of the majority, and if their brethren cannot consent to this prin ciple there is no chance for union. Let both sides have a fair chance at the primaries, and the one that loses should lie down. That would be the demo cratic plan, and no real democrat could or would objejt to it. The Iowa State Register estimates that the closing of the saloons at Des Moines, will cause an annual loss in revenue to the city of $60,000 and $20,000 to the couuty, which the tax payers will be called upon to pay.
