O.ir old friend Jesse Turner, Deputy
U. S. Mar.-hal, gave us a call this p. 1:1.
lie goes wc-S't on the R. Si M. to-morrow
morning.
T!ie old Second street bridjc has been
demolished, and the piles are being dri
ven for the new one. All J.he other
bridres contracted for are completed,
and they a id materially to the appear
ance of things as well as to the con
venience. We hope the fixing of the sewers at
the foot of Main street will nt be de
layed until heavy ruins, coiae. The whole
of Second ftrert will be one vast mud
hole if something is not done, and haul
ing goods to or from the curs will become
an impossibility. Business men should
sec that it is attended to.
One of the objects for which we have
long labored is now beinj accomplished
the drawing of trade to Plattsuicuth
from the Iuwa sib- of the river. We
notice many citizens of western Towa
purchasing good at the d life rent stores
ia the city, and a little exertion on the
part of fcur merchants will greatly in
crease this trade. It is a trade of no
mean importance, and should be looked
after at once. We suggest a meeting of
lu.-inet;.--i3 men of the city to take into
consideration the best means of extending
their trade, both east and west.
Deputy Sheriff Cheney, of Saunders
county came after the prisoner, Denelly,
who was sent to our jail for safe keeping
some two months ago. He left with the
prisoner, on the 10 o'clock train, for
Ashland. The prisoner is to have a new
deal, ami will probably be sentenced for
petit larceny, as he fehould have beeen in
tho first place.
We have very good authority for be
lieving that the J', ess, of Nebraska City,
is about to suspend publication. We
are sorry to bciicve this, but are forced
to the conclusion. The was estab
lished by Col. O. J I. Trish, many years
si.20, and was at one time a ycry influen
tial pnper in the State. It has changed
ban hi mmy timet; in the last few years,
and we are informed that it has been
kept up mostly by a few individuals dur
in the last year. Ont of the principle
causes of the decline of the J'rcss, prob
ably, is the fact that that energetic and
popular newspaper man. Hon. W. H. II.
Waters, started :i large morning daily
in N ;bra-ka City :cme time ago. called
the Chronicle, which has been making
constant inroad upon the business of the
J'rest. The Chroni.tc bus improved
steadily, and is no w a credit to the jour
nalism of the State. We are Forty to
looe tha IVess, but hope the Chronicle
may be able to fill the void.

A gentleman wh has been reading the

The enterprising firm of Doom Bro'
& Co. have a narumoth stock which they
offer at the lowest kind of prices. This
firm deserves great credit for marking
down prices and have done more to move
the grain in the country and obtain liv

the ether business houses in town. To
them our farmers are indebte i for the
prcscst prie of corn. Wdiile in Chicago
they induced some heavy grain men to
Tisit Plattsmouth and look the grain
business over, and the result is that Mr.
Cagnin, of the firm of W. O. Parke &
Co-, of Chicago, is here buying corn and
wheat at living prices, and all our farm
ers have to do is to go to Doom Bros.
& Co. and get tho highest price in Cash

has been taken. It seems to us thi3
thing must be did sometime, and the
sooner it is attended to tho better for all
concerned. Mr. Hays has stuck up a
few s':ik-"5 along the proposed line of the
avenue leading to the southwest, and we
invite the City Coun.il and all parties
interested to go and take a look at the
route and be satisfied f the feasibility of
the iro;eet. The land and lot owners
along the route have all, or nearly all,
exj Tossed a willingness to give the land
necessary for the opening of tha avenues,
and we hope the Council will not lunger
delay action upon ihi.; important meas
ure. If they require any formal request,
wc suggest that a petition be circulated
for signatures asking them to take action.

idea as expressed sometime since, and
will elraw the trade of a large scope of

'Col. Fecic: My fellow citizens and
your warm friends of this city, under
standing that you were about to removs
from among us, desire to express their
attachment and the high estimation iu
which they hold you, sir, by tendering a
light token of their regard beforo your

be the gain of any community in which
your lot may bo cast. We feel deeply
the interest you have taken in the growth
of our young city, and we trust that
when you and your amiable lady sip a

bear you back to Fome of the pleasant

that Fortune may einilc upon you and
yours. Accept then, sir, from your many

ute to your worth, and ever feel assured
that we will cherish your memory in the
warmest corntr of our hearts."
Col. Peek replied :
"Sin : This unexpected expression of
your kiuuness and regard overwhelms me,
and my lips refuse to give utterance to
my gralitudi. I cannot convey iu words
Low much I appreciate it.
"You have presented this token to me,
in the name of my friends in the city of
Plattsmouth. You could approach me
with no dearer, prouder title. The
names of your citlzeas are inscribed high
on our country's "roll of honor," and
your thriving city, so happily placed at
tLe gateway of the great route, from the
Ka.t to tha West, i making rapid strides
among the sister cities of the State,

cordial welcome with which you have
been pleased to greet me during my f-tay.
I can only stiive to deserve this, sir ; be

I thall purfcue that mysterious path
which my destiny shall point out to me
through tho rugged journey of life, that
path will be cheered and iny heart will

the pleasant days passed at Plattsmouth.
Sir, the highest privilege I can ask is
to call you "fiicndd," and the highest
holiest hope of my heart is to be worthy
of your friendship. In the name of
Mrs. Peck and myself I thank you."
After which Capt. John W. Marshall,
John R. Clark, Eiq., and several others
made short remarks and happy allusions
to the Cob's sojourn among u. The

gentlemanly and obl'ging conduct while

hosts of friends. lie is a gentleman
whom to know is to respect and love,
