are in town collecting material for a
History of Nebraska, to be published

The Message,
The N. Y. Sui , a paper which sel
dom says, of late years, a guod word
for a Republican otHcial, speaks thus
of President Arthur's Inaugural:
THE PRESIDENT ON I " VIL SERVICE
REFORM .
It is remarkable that the first cred
itable discussion of civil service re
form in any communication from the
Executive to Congress, should proceed
from a President who has heretofore
been identified, in the estimation of
his own party at least,, with what
people call machine politic?.
We do not agiee with all that Presi
dent Arti.ur fays on this subject iu
his message. He declares that he
should feel bound to give his approval
to a bill incorporating all the feature
f the civil service system of Great
Britain. In our opinion such a meas
ure would be an evil infinitely greater
than any it might be intended to cure.
The President's own statement that
it would lead to the establishment of
a life tenure of civil offices, with retir
ing allowances, is argument enough
against it,
That the President has studied the
subject earnestly and industriously is
evident. It is difficult to believe that
he had not given the problems of civil
service reform careful consideration
long before he became President or
Vice-President. Men do not came to
such conclusions as are in his message
after only a few days of reflection.
Especially wise is his suggestion to
make baste slowly with innovations.
He has shown that he is not afraid to
undertake reform, and therefore this
warning against precipitate legisla
tion :s not to be regarded as the utter
;mce of an opponent of any change.
It comes of prudence inspired by a
knowledge of the history of that very
English system which theorUU are
are constantly holding up for our ad
miration. In place of the crude sentiments of
Grant and the sophomorical platitudes
of Hayes, we have in tins part of
President Arthur's message a public
document which is at all events
worthy of respect, whether we agree
or disagree with the views of the
author.
WILL STRIKE THE COUNTBT KAYOR
ABLT. The President having covered all
otker ground pretty fully, he reaches
the question of civil-service reform.
This lie treats fairly and sensibly,
showing that he is prepared to aid in
putting in practice any system that
Congress may consider desirable,
whether in accordance with his own
iews or not. The message, upon the
whole, is a good one, and its reeom
mendations will strike the country
favorably. Cincinnati Gazette.
FROM A CLEAR-HEADED MAN.
The message is lengthy, but covers
a vast field and a great variety of sub
jects. It is conservative in tone,
and contains nothing to offend the
Sensibilities of any one. It is a business-like
document, and will go far
to confirm the opinion formed of the
President as a cool, clear-headed, and
sensible man. Cincinnati Commer
cial. WILL COMMEND ITSELF.
The first message of President
Arthur is one which will commend
itself to the country for its straight
forward common sense and business
tone. Indianapolis Journal.

The advent here of the gentlemen
from various paits of the state who
attended our banquet last week, was
an event in the history of our city.
Situated as we are in rather an out of
the way corner, few passers by on the
trains really see or know anything of
PIatt9mouth.
The B. et. M. 11. II. runs, unfortu
nately for us, and the road too as it
has turned out, directly under the
bluffs almost its entire length :n Cass
county, thereby preventing travel
ers from seeing and appreciating
the advantages of our town and esti
mating at its true value the magnifi
cent farming country which lies to the
south and wtstof us. Seeing only
scrujbbily wooded bluff3 on one side
and the sandy Platte on the other,
they gain but little general knowledge
that Cass Co. has within its borders
sortie of the best improved, most fer
tile farms in the state, with great old
fashioned barns thereon, and houses
to match with orchards and vineyards
attached.
In town the situation of the ma
chiae shops of the B. & M. through
the cut, out of ight to the casual vis
itor; and the scattered condition of
the residence portion of the town over
many a hill and through oft hidden
valley's, serves to hide our real growth
and size to ail but those who are di
rectly interested in investigating
where and how our 6,000 population is
accounted for.
. la view of these facts, and to give
some of the older citizens of the state,
who are interested in the growth and
welfare of the whole state of Nebras
ka, and who otherwise would not
take tiie time, a chance to visit us, our
board of trade inaugurated and car
ried to a successful issue the late ban
quet, not as a mre pleasure or feast
to the members, but as a source of in
formation to the world generally, of
what we have been doing the past two
years.
For this reason it was called the
Board of Trade banquet, and conse
quently at the immediate time it
would rather teem as if they obtained
all the glory but it was never inten
ded that any class jf citizens who
have aided in buikUng up this fair
towfi should not receive their due
share of praise , and all property hold
ers, of course, will gain by the beiiefim
that may accrue to our town by the
notice this banquet has procured for
us abroad.
Among those who apparently have
been slighted, but not intentionally
so, are the Guthmau brothers, owners
and builders of the Hotel at which we
met. To their untiring endeavors, to
the fact that they had the money, and
were willing to run the risk of invest
ing the same do we owe our Hotel.
The Host. Mr. McKeever, deserves
great praise, for after the hotel was
built, it did seem for a spell, that we
never would find the man to fit the ho
tel. Several expeiments were made,
before both man and place came to
gether and when they did the com
plete whole was perfected, and oui
host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Me
Keever have thus far aided and formed
part and parcel of the interests and
success of Plattsmouth by keeping one
of the best hotel in the West. This
much is due to the above parties and
we take pleasure in recording the
facts.
Our guests teem to have enjoyed
themselves, and especially Dr. Miller,
Judge Dundy, aud Gov. Nance all of
whom were surprised and gratified to
note the improvements made and the
evid.nt pleasure it was to the older
citizens to rafeet and welcome theru
once iroie.
The speeches were elegant, every one
a perfect gem in its own setting (sen
timent) but our short horn repoiter
was away and we cannot reproduce
them for the Herald much to our
regret.
Weep.nar Hater Notes.
Dec. 12th., 1881. Ed. Herald:
We had a (iraud Concert on Thursday
and Friday evenings of last week both
well attended, and everybody was
well pleased. The Grand Chorus of
Fifty voices, was composed uf Prof.
Will F. T. Bushnell's class of vocalists,
and the improvement was wonderful.
Prof. B. deserves great credit for his
success and thoroughness in music
drill with this class, aud his pupils all
united in showing their just apprecia
tion of his valuable services while
with them, by the presentation ct a
small token of their sincere esteem
and regard, in tjja furm of a superb
gold ring, with diamond setting in
onyx stone. The presentation speech
was made in elegant style by Dr. W.
D. Gibbon, one of the class, after
which Prof. B. expressed his thanks to
his pupils in a very becoming farewell
speech.
Mr. Bushuell accompauied by T. L,
Potter started for Chicago on Satur
day A. M,
The "Recorder," lias not come out
yet, though Mr. Mathews and family
have returned from Chicago, however
ho is pushing work on his new build

THE CITY.
The (act that Plattsmouth has fairlv
entered upon an era of prosperity, is
evidenced in alf directions. For near
ly a score of years the city had setn
but little growth and even the oldest

become discouraged, and the wonder
ful activity now visible must be grate
full in the extreme to the good peo

the town of their early love. Among
the solid improvements of the past

each of the leading papers represented,
rather than a detailed version of our
own. Dr. Miller and his steuographer

- REPUBLICAN' NOTICES.
They have opened a new hotel in
Plattsmouth called the Perkins house.
It was completed the last of August
and cost $20,000. It is a brick struc
ture, plain but useful. The rooms are
furnished in exquisite style and the ta
bits are to be admired.
This is not a ho'el advertisement,
exactly. It is the story of a banquet
given by the Plattsmouth board of
trade. That organization was effected
one year ago last May, and consists of
fifty-four members. D. II. Wheeler is
president. The board of trade helped
build a hotel, and on Thursday
evening last they gave a banquet. A
number of geuLlemen from Lincoln
were present, among them Gov. Nance
Secretary Alexander, and a representa
tive of the pres. From Omaha came
Judge Dundy, Mrs. Alvin Saunders,
Miss Burley, Mr. W. A. Redick, Mr. J.
L. Webster, and Miss Mamie Saunders,
U. S. Attorney Lambertson, U. S. Mar
shal, Bierbower, Mr. James Taylor,
and Miss Crounse. Mr. S. F. Don
nelly, f the Telegram, Mr. J, W.
Campbell, of the Republican, and Mr.
E. Rosewater and Mr. W. II. Kent, of
the Bee. At the depot the party were
met by Hon Geo. 8. Smith, Mr. J. 4..
MacMurphy, a bonfire and a brass
band. The gnests proceeded directly
to the hotel, where they thronged the
parlors until about 0:39, when the
dining rooms were thrown open aud
the banquet began. Something over
one hundred and fifty guests were
present.
The Telegram made one of the most
concise and accurate reports given, a
portion of which is-found here from a
column and a half of matter.
THE TELEGRAM.
With her important growth in
wealth and resources Plattsmouth has
for some time suffered from an im
portant want. A fire a few years
since destroyed her principal hotel,
and wit!) a better excuse than Omaha
has had under similar circumstances,
she has been for a period without any
thing which deserved the name of ho
tel. But her people are not of the
kind to allow such a need to exist for
a great while. They believe in the
truth of the old proverb that "Heaven
helps those who help themselves," and
when it became evident that private
capital unaided would not step into
the breach and risk a large investment
in that most uncertain of all proper
ties a hotel the board ui trade came
to the front and offered $25x as a bo
nus towards the erection of the de
sired structure. As a result of this
step mine host McKeever opened on
August 2'Jd last fhe Perkins House, a
handsome three-story brick block, cost
ing $20,000, and iu all its interior plan,
its furnishing, its management, out of
the best hotels iu the we.3t. The In
fant. hoyever, was not christened at
its birth, but after due preparation,
and with great eclat, this-affair came
off last evening, in a grand banquet
given under the auspices of the Platts
mouth Bord of Trade, and in the
preaeiice of the Governor, Secretary of
State, the principal federal officials of
X braik.i, the leading ckizens cf
Plattsmouth, many of the faiivst la-
uies or our comnion-vea:ci, una rep- j
resentatifes of the leading newspapers j
of the state. If that infant does not
do well its godfathers are not to blame.
Upon the arrival of the trai.i ai
Plattsmouth the party were takn in
charge by leading citizens, tiie press
being chaperoned by Mr. John A.
MacMurphy. of the Herald, C. W.
Sherman, of the Daily Jourmil. and
H. M. Bushnell, of the Enterpiise. Dr.
Geo. L. Miller, of the Omaha Herald
was fouid to be on the ground.
After a period passed by tne guests
in interchange of social greetings iu
the parlors the banquet was served and
most elaborate and perfect it was in
every detail. It was opened by . a
brief and very happy address of wel
come by Qon . 11. U- Iiiyiugatori, and
after due discussion of t lie menu toasts
were in order:

PLATTSMOUTH.
In this connection it would be an
easy, matter to write up several col
umns concerning this same city, its
beautiful site ou the bluffs overlook-
ing the river, its rapidly growing pop
ulation, now over six thousand, ai.d
the busy hum of industry which fills
the air from morning until night. The
collossal structure which spans the
Missouri at this point, the deep cuts
through which the heavily laden
trains rush from the dizzy heights
above the Big Muddy into the heart '
of this modern Rome, with its sovea ,
hills, the acres upon acres of shop3 in ;
which the Burlington and Missouri
River in Nebraska, employs nearly j
five hundred men in the work con- i
nected with the departments of their
vast business any of these would be
a theme worthy to be dilated upon.
But" Plattsmouth is not Pompeii nor
Troy:. it is no newly discovered city
which has been buiied for centuries
and whose ruins the visitors were
taken down to inspect. Plattsmouth
has been written up and everybody
knows just where tha county seat of
Cass county is to be found.
THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The trip .as takyn to banquet with
the Plattsmouth Hoard of Trade, now
in the second jear of its existence and
a most prominent organization. Maj.
D. II. Wheeler is its president. Frank
Carruth its vice president, and J.B. j
Strode Secretary ; in a total member-!
ship of fifty-four are included all the I
more prominent and enterprising men
who when public spirit and energetic
action aiv needed, are at all times
found ready to put their shoulders to
the wheel. That is the character of
the hosts of the evening and it was
fitting that their guests should be en
tertained in one of he institutions
which ranks Plattomouth as assuming
metropolitan proportions.
THE PERKINS HOUSE.
The hotel was begun in the spring
of 1880, and was named the Perkins
house iu honor of C. E. Perkins, Esq.
of the C. B. & Q railway. The hotel
was completed last summer and open
ed in August, Messrs. Gutliman Bros,
the owners, leasing it to Mr. John
McKeever formerly of Minonk, 111.,
who is a most efficient and popular
landlord. The Perkins house is of
brick, three stories high, well arranged
elegantly furnished, and with a dining
room capable of seating two hundred
guests.

Our own Journal (Daily) got out a
very creditable report of four columns
the time and
clianee they had show:? t-nterprise aud
newspaper ability,
The Enterprise, .Saturday, had a
brief, but clever synopsis the event.
I'eriiaps our readers ui iy think we
devote too much attention to this mat
ter'j but we have .always held that
what helps 'ass County aids Nebraska ;
what aids and increases I'lattsmouth,
enriches Cass County, and we have
resilly made great progress in this end
of 'Cass County in the past two or
three years, and have rather uoileres
Unrated our real growth and impor
tance, than over-advertised ourselves.
An occasion of this kind does not
pecqr every day and when it does, t
is both light and proper that we
should s-t ourselves fairlv and fully
before lite world.
Rescued from Death.
Iu the following remarkable state
uient. William J. Couyhlin of Somer
ville, Mass., says: "In the fall of 1876
vas tidveu with a violent hleep
inu of xiip LCJ.U3 followed by a se
vere cough." I was so weak at one
time that I could not leave my bed.
In the summer of 177 1 was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said I had a hole in my left
lung as big as a half dollar. I expend
ed over a hundred dollars in doctors
and medicines. I gave up hope, but a
friend told me of DK. HALL'S BAL
SAM FOIl TIIE LUNGS. I got a
bottle to satisfy him, when to my fur
prise and gratification, 1 commenced
to feel better, and to-day feel in better
spirits than I have the past three years.
I write this hoping that every one
afjjietpd with Diseased Lungs will be
induced to take Dr. WM. HALL'S
HALS AM FOH THE LUNGS and be
conviucfd that CONSUMPTION
CAN HE CURED. I can positively
say that it has done more good than
all the other medicines I have taken
during my sickness." Sold bv drug

Aboard the Train for Louisville.
Friday m-Tning ye Jocal" boarded
the west bound train for Louisville,
on a collecting and canvassing tour,
aud to see our many patrons in that
sectien of the country.
Several prominent personagps were
on tlie train, among theia Governor
Nance and Secretary of State S. J. Al
exander; also John Fitzgerald and
Win. Nevills, and last but not least
Joseph A. Connor, who stopped off
at Louisville,
We arrived at the busy burg of
about five hundred inhabitants, sur
named Loni3YiUe, about noon and in
OuOipany with a friend, proceeded
to the "Albee House" for dinner. We
found "mine host" Albee with a hsuse
full of boarders, and doing a rushing
business.
The Mo. Pacific track is completed
at that point, there being only a few
gaps between there and Weeping "Wa
ter where bridges were not quite fin
ished. The bridge acros - the Platte
yyas neariy completed, and we werein
fqrrped that a train would prababiy
run across about the middle of this
week. The bridge is a good substan
tial one about half a mile long.
Several accidents have occurred on
the M. P. the past week or twe,
among which are Jie following; B. C.
Salmon was hauling bridge lumber,
and his toam becoming unmanageable,
be was thrown from the wagon,
Spraining his arms and shoulders; W.
A. Anderson received a bad cut above
the right ear bv a chunk -f coal fall
ing from the bridge; Oliu Harris and
E. Cochran v:e thrown from a pile
driver south of Louisville, injuring
them quite severely.
Dr. Ilase-tiieir, is kept busy attend
ing to these injured and other vpa
tisnts; ho is vent for from miles
around, In'ing very successful in his
practice. lie is also doing a good bus
iness in his drug store.

We made a short call on our old
friend Truman Hall, wkile there; ho
says the harness business is rushing.
Dr. Darling has recently started a
nw drug stdre making three drug
stores in the town.
A. W. Hill ef the Hall House is
building a new hotel and there are
several other now buildings going up,
