A new swindle is being worked in some parts of the state, generally in I the smaller towns. Parties represent themselves as agents of a Chicago bi cycle house and offer to sell wheels very cheap, requiring a payment of $5 in advance, and the balance in small monthly payments. The ageut disap pears, the wheel never comes, and the I chump who bit is oui jusi, so iu imu, but he has considerable more experi ence than he had before. lLcLauge.

For months western papers have contained reports of proposed exten sions of the Burlington line into th Big Horn basin, and beyond. Presi dent Perkins has" put a quietus upoi these reports. Land speculators and town lot boomers will therefore have to take another tack. Bee. One of the Plattsmouth banks, the First National, has something ovei SISl OOOon deposit. If a few of the rih nirf fell ws would wake up and put their money in circulation by in vesting in some manufacturing enter prises, iustead of hording it up in the banks, they would .nstill new life into that quiet town, and it would prove a paying investmens.

A red rabbit was caught near East man, Ga., a few days ago. It is alive and on exhibition in that place, and the farmers of the district say that it is the first of the kind that they have ever seen.

A Christian Kndeavorera Trip. Quite a party of Christian Endeavor- ers started from Plattsmouth Friday morning to attend the convention of the C. E. Union at Weeping Water. Although the morning was cold, it did not seem to affect the spirits of those who had intended going. Three car riages were put in use, and they were well filled by the lively young people. We arrived in Weeping Water at 11 15 and drove to the Congregational church, where we met with a cordial reception; and that, with a blazing fire, helped to warm us up so we were able to tell what our names were, so that they might be written on the back of a little white card, tied with a red ribbon the Christian Endeavor colors and handed to each one. Each was then assigned his boarding place in the hospitable homes of the good peo ple of Weeping Water. An excellect supper was served by the laaies of the church in their dinning room, and the next day they served dinner and supper. A most enjoyable program was car ried out. and not a little interest was manifested by the members, and all telt that it was good to be there. G. F. S. Plattsmouth. March 16. 1S96. Dr.. J. A.

She was not less than forty and her husband will never see his fiftieth birthday again, but when he escorted her to the train which was to carry her away on a visit to friends in another state he planted upon her lips a kiss as hearty as any maiden might crave .from any man. There was a crowd of loiterers on the depot platform, and some of them laughed at the man's simplicity, or rather "provincialism," as one cynic termed it. We confess it is today rare to see such a public exhibition of affection between men and wives of riper years, biit really it should not be so. If true love lives between man and wife it will shine through their every act and deed. Years cannot hinder its steady flow, nor the presence of prying eyes dampen its ardor. It is ten to one that the man who is too cultured to kiss the wife of his bosom in public is too mean to kiss her at home. God bless and prosper the man who is not afraid to kiss his wife, yea; though all the world be watching! Thousands of womanly hearts are cold today, while upon those hearts may be lying fagots ..f love ready to be lighted by a hus band's kiss. Papillion Times. NOW OPEN.
