The concert Riven by Hans Albert
and Don Long at the Presbyterian
church Monday night was the best
musical program that has been heard
in Plattsmouth for many days.
The church was comfortably filled by
an audience constituting the best ele
ment of people in the city, and all
appeared to thoroghly appreciate the
rare musical treat afforded them. j
Prof. Albert has been heard here be- j
fore and each time has made many
friends.
The concerto in G. minor. Max
Brucb, was played as it is seldom
played, while the Shubert serenade
completely won the hearts of the audi
ence. In all of his numbers Mr. Albert ex
hibits a wonderful technique, trilling
in double notes with perfect eafe and
si rikinz harmonies with an accuracy
that is astonishing.
Mr. Lone has a very fine touch, and
all the technique necessary. The
Rheinbereer Impromptu and the Mac
Dowell Elude were very finely inter
preted, and each won from the audi
ence an encore, to the former of which
he responded with Mandolinata, a
composition of his own.
Mr. Long undoubtedly has a great
future.
Miss Sullivan's singing was verj
much appreciated by all present. She
exhibited some nervousness at first,
from which she very soon recovered.
The young lady possesses a good
soprano voice, and her renditions last
evening was a pleasant surprise to her
Plattsmouth friends. Considering this
was Mis3 Sullivan's first appearance in
public, she did remarkably well.
Mr. Chas. Keefer, to whose efforts
the people of Plattsmouth owe this
excellent entertainment, is to be con
gratulated for bis enterprise.
District Court Proceedings.
Tuesday's Daily.
The suit of Whitefield Sanford vs.
..T. R. and II. W. Vallery, on a note for
23 16, which was recently decided in
plaintiff's favor in Justice Archer's
court, has been appealed to the dis
trict court.
G. W. Norton, et al,vs. the Weeping
Water Loan and Building association,
is the title of a case filed yesterday
afternoon. Petition for appointment

affairs of an insolvent corporation.
The jury in the case of Wm. Smoots
vs. Wm. Rose, in which the plaintiff
sued for 82,000 damages for injuries
received at the hands of the defend
ant some weeks ago, the result of a
"scrap," returned this morning with a
verdict of $175 for the plaintiff.
A divorce suit was fiied today by
Wm. Darrough. Plaintiff alleges that
they were married April 21, 1870. and
that during all that time he has been
a faithful, loyal and true husband;
that during the year 1895, and at
divers times prior, defendant had been
guilty of extreme cruelty towards him,
that she had struck him three times
with a stick or board, causing great
physical pain and mental suffering,
and had called him harsh names, such
as "liar" and "damned liar." Also at
another time she had aimed a butcher
knife at his cranium, but by a clever
"duck" he had avoided being scalped.
Plaintiff sue3 for a divorce and such
alimony as the court decrees.
thieves Get In Their Work
Elam Parmele, who lives on his
farm, noithwest of the poor farm, was
in town Saturday, and reported to the
police that thieves had entered his
barn Friday night and stole one set of
double harness, one set of single har
ness, a saddle and bridle, and three
good horse blankets. The total value
of the stolen articles is something over
fifty dollars. No clew to the per
petrators of the theft has been dis
covered, and it is quite probable that
the goods will not be recovered very
soon.
We Wonder Who?
The young stenographer who has
been putting in so much time defend
ing Judge Chapman, will now be out
of a theme to write on. It is wonder
ful how brilliant some people think
they are, and can never realize when
a brick house falls on them. The
young man should take a copy of
Blackstone and walk into the river,
with no fear of sinkinz. for he ia too
light, and cool his tired grey matter.

by Judge Uamsey as court reporter.
.vny reader of a home newspaper
can save many times the price of the
subscription during the year by watch
ing the advertisements. There is very
frequently a difference of from ten to
twenty cents per yard on goods, and
other things in proportion. Often
when a person makes purchases and
is not posted, he pays dearly for it.
The enterprising robber nowadays
hesitates between risking his life and
liberty in holding up an express car
and taking things easy as an embezzler
of public funds. On the whole the
scales seem to incline toward defalc
tion in public office.
The newspaper war in St. Louis, if
it is continued, will bankrupt all en
gaged in it. The price of the Republic
and Globe-Democrat has been reduced
to one cent per copy, and the publishers
furnish dealers with papers at one
half cent each, and papers are given
with each cigar purchased, or a shave,
or most anything else. With those
papers it is the larger the circulation
the larger the loss.
They have sent a man to jail in Kan
sas for contempt of court. His crime
consisted in refnsing to drink Deer on
the witness stand, when told to do so
by the judge, who wanted toknow if it
was beer. He boldly declined to be
experimented on.
The editors of the Elmwood. Echo
and Leader have a habit of organizing
a hunting party, and engaging in a
hunting contest the first snow of each
year. Monday these gamey editors,
each at the head of his respective di
vision went out into thesnow and wind
to hunt jack rabbits, and other game.
The members of each party got the
captains to stand guard while they
made a grand drive through an almost
impenetrable thicket. The editors re
turned to town about midnight and
each captain has ordered a court mar
tial of his respective command. Of
course an editor always gets mad un
less he can hold the sack and let the
rabbits jump in. Nebraska City Press.

The Nebraska University foot ball
club of Lincoln beat the Iowa Univer

Last Monday night the ice gorged in
the river at Plattsmouth, an unusual

Messrs. Stowell & Kent, the new
publishers of the Auburn Post, have
made a wonderful improvement in
the make-up of that paper. Instead
of the old nine-column folio, it i3 now

change will certainly be appreciated
by the readers of the Post.
Arthur li. Hilton, head of the firm
of Hilton, Hughes & Co., the big dry
goods concern, of New York, is having
placed upon his life an insurance of
over $1,000,000, the heaviest life insur

and the second largest in the United
States. We believe Honest John Wana-
maker is the largest gambler in that
line.
The largestsingle piece of machinery
ever shipped in this country is now on
its way from Philadelphia to Joliet,
Ills. It is a flvwheel and weighs 180,
000 pounds. Two cars had to be spe
cially constructed to convey it. Ten
miles an hour is the limit of speed.
and even at this slow rate the jonrnal
boxes were constantly beating and
causing delay. At the present rate of
traveling it will require several months
for the wheel to reach Joliet.
There are 780,000,000 pennies in cir

lic is absorbing them at the rate of
150,000 a day, which represents a daily

A new aparatus has been coustructed
to prevent colisions at sea. The in
vention consists in so constructing
and stationing a set of electromagnetic
coils, on board a vessel, that they will
influence a chemically prepared needle

another vessel, to that extent as to
release a spring that sets a bell to
ringing as a warning of danger. A
test having been made that covered
the distance at sea of six miles.

richest woman in Sioux City. Twenty

George Parker, an old gambler who
died the other day in Washington,
once gave some good advice to a
young man who was drinking and
gambling in his establishment. Said
he: "I knew your father and your
grandfather, boy. They were cool
headed men, who never would have
turned a hair if lightning had struck
them. They were good drinkers be
cause they never took a drop until
dinner, and never kept it up after one
o'clock. They were good gamblers be
cause they never tried to buck against
hard luck. You are like neither of
them. Take an old gambler's advice.
Stop playing and stop drinking, for as
sure as you sit in that chair you'll be a
thief if you stick to cards, and a bnm
if you stick to liquor."

A Tramp Convention.
A two day's convention of tramps of
the northwest adjourned Sundaynight.
It was held on the Arkansas river,
between Wellington and Winfield,near
Wichita, Kas., and about 1,500 were
present. Kansas City Jim presided.
He arrived in Wichita Sunday, and
being elected president, will make his
headquarters there. Christmas holi
day convention will be held at not
Springs, Ark., and the regular sum
mer convention has teen designated
for Cripple Creek, Colo. The time will
be designated in the regular tramp
alphabet on all the railroad depots and
tank when Kansas t'ityJim fixes it.
His headquarters in Wichita are in a
vacant ro- m, connected withthe police
station. The police cater to him, as
his residence there is a sure protection
against tramp depredations in that
city.
Not Half the Horror Toll.
A late dispatch to the London News
from Constantinople, giving a general
resume of the situation, declares that
the recent massacres put the early out
rages of Sassoun and Mooch entirely
in the background. If either England,
France or Russia should publish the
stories reported officially by the cool
headed consuls, all Europe would
stand aghast at the proofs. Wherever
these consuls have investigated mat
ters they have found that the accusa
tions that the Armenians provoked the
riots, are false. The American mis
sionaries.at Kharput had property to
t he value of 100,000 destroyed during
'he riots.

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhataggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
Very respectfully,
