FOR COUNTY TREASU
The following letter received
business man at Elmwood speaks
itself and needs very little comment.
As a man is held in the community
where he resides, so he should be
udtfed, and it is a pleasure that we
ublish in full this letter. John Gerry
Stark has made a success in business
and will make a success as treasurer of
Cass county should he be elected,
which at this time looks very certain:

average American citizen. I he men
who had suffered the same privations
as had Peary himself and in all proba
bility a great deal more, when the final
dash was about to be made were told
to stay behind as he wanted to make
the discovery all by himself so he could
claim all the glory. We don't carp
wneiner ur. uooks claim as to prior
discovery is correct or not. We don't
care whether he got within a million
miles of the pole or not. We don't
care whether he even started or not,
The feeling still stays with us that Dr,
Cook is a gentleman and has shown
himself to be the best man of the two,
and while he may not have discovered
the pole and may be an "imposter'
with all that we shall always honer him
far above the haughty Mr. Peary.
California people are again agitating
the matter of making two states out of
that state. Not since the civil war has
the matter been brought up, but at the
present time it may develop into con
siderable discussion.
A man may think that he sympath
izes with the1 strecf Ht strikers In
their efforts to' gain their point all
right, but his enthusiasm somehow
rather oozes out just a little when he
has walked four miles over Omaha
pavements in the hot sun, especially if
he has two or three corns on each hoof
luiHineBS at the old
stand.
DAFT POPULAR.
Out in Greenwood precinct it is re
ported that L. II. Daft, candidate for
register of deeds on the republican
ticket, is bo well and favorably known
that all parties are coming to his sup
port. If he is good enough for his
neighbors who know him best, he i
good enough for other portions of the
county. Weeping Water Republican
No better recommendation can be
made than that a man's neighbors are
willing and anxious to support him for
a public office. Lawrence H. Daft will
poll a big vote in the western portion
of the county, first because they know
him to be competent to fill the office
and second Ijecaux-to JyiQV him i&JLo
appreciate the fact that he is a first
class young man with strong business
abilityjand one who is fitted to fill any
public office.

Sundays in a
jear. This may seem like a strange
statement for the editor to make, but
ft is true. Instead of going to church
where he would find peace and spiritual
enjoymenV the modern knocker Btays
at home and thinks ip new things to
find fault with. It would be much
better for the country if the laws were
changed bo this fellow could work or go
-oft" and get drunk without danger of
1ing arrested.
Democratic papers and a few "near"
republican publications have been
hurrying to condemn President Taft
for his statements regarding the tariff
and his attitude toward Senator Aid
rich. They evidently believe that if
-they don't get in the game early there
will be no chance. The public, we are
glad to say has sufficient confidence in
the man elected president to give him
a chance to make his promises good.
JU Des Moines the president informed
the people that if he had his way the
next session of congress would be the
kind that would make the people take
notice that things would be accom
plished in the right way. We have
been so used in the past few years to
the "rush in where angles fear to
tread" methods of Roosevelt that we
get a littlo impatient because his suc
cessor believes in "making haste slow
ly." The trouble is now days that
there are too manv natriot3 who find
it much easier to knoik than to boost
COMPANY; ATTENTION I
The old soldiers of the state, the
veterans of the Civil War, will this
year find two of their old comrades in
arms as nominees of the republican
party on the state ticket for the most
honorable offices within the gift of the
people of the state, Justices of the Su-!
preme Court of Nebraska. These are
Judges Barnes and Fawcett, present
members of the court and candidates
for re-election by reason of the expira
tion of their respective terms. Both
are veterans of the Civil War and both
have honorable and enviable records
for splendid service rendered their
country in the time of its greatest
need. Judge John B. Barnes enlisted
when sixteen years old in Company E,
First Ohio Volunteers Light Artillery
and served as a private with that com
mand until the close of the war of the
Rebellion. He was honorably discharged
on the 10th day of July, 18C5, and re
turned to his home where he finished
his education, taught school until his
removal to Nebrasha in 1871, where he
finished his legal education and was ad
mitted to the bar.
Judge Jacob Fawcett enlisted in
1S61, when less than fifteen years of
age, in the 10th Wisconsin Infantry
and served to the close of the war.
He wbb severely wounded at Shiloh
only a few days prior to his fifteenth
birthduy. He was again wounded in
the battles before Atlantic on July 21,
1864. Judge Fawcett was in every
battle participated in by his regiment
during the war, except the six months
he was wounded and in hospital due to
the two experiences above noted. Judge
Fawcett was one of four out of
whom the republicans of this county
have been fit to nominate for, the office
of Couuty Treasurer. Mr. Stark is a
business man of no mean ability and
the strictest integrity. He was born
near Scranton, Penn., in 1806 and spent
his youth on the farm. He later grad
uated from the 5th District Normal
Schopl at Mansfield, Penn., after which
time he spent eight years in teaching
in Pennsylvania and Nebraska. Dur
ing the time he was teaching in Ne
braska he was married to MiBS Minnie
B. Mullen, a daughter of Joseph Mul
len near Elmwood, Neb., and has since
made Elmwood hia prominent home.
Mr. Stark, with others, organized
and managed as Cashier the Ithica
State Bank in Saunders county for
eight years when in 1901 he Resigned
his position at Ithica and became man
ager and cashier of the American Ex
change Bank at Elmwood, which posi
tion he holds at the present time and to
his efforts and business ability are due
the high standing of this institution to
day which has always enjoyed the con
fidence of the people. The business of
this bank has more than thribled un
der Mr. Stark's management
As a member of the Village Board of
Elmwood, Mr. Stark has done much to
ward improving the town. While serv
ing on this board he assisted in inaug
urating a campaign for side walks
which has resulted in cement walks
over the entire town.
HiB experience as an instructor has
made his membership on the school
board especially valuable and much
credit i9 due him for the high standing
of the public school of Elmwood.
The idea originated with Mr. Stark
to organize the business men of Elm
wood into an association, feeling that
"In union there is strength" and that
united they could better advance the
public and business interests of the
town, so three years ago the Elmwood
Park' Association t was organized with j
Mr.; Stark 'as tts-pn-'sidwrt' Thiw--j
ganization, at the present time, repre
sents practically all of the business in
terests of the town. Many public
events have been conducted by this or
ganization that could not otherwUe
have been carried out in so small a
town such as the three Chautauquas
which have been so successfully con
ducted and of which the people of
Elmwood are justly proud and which
have been no small factor in the moral
and intellectual upbuilding of the com
munity. Through Mr. Stark's identifi
cation with this organization have the
people of Elmwood and vicinity come
to appreciate more fully his keen judg
ment and executive anility and to him
is due a larger share of credit tfiah any
other person for the success of the
Chautauqua movement at Elmwood.
Without question Mr. Stark has de
voted more of his time and energy to
the harmonizing and upbuilding of the
business interests of his town, during
the past eight years than any other one
citizen. His optimism, energy and ex
ecutive ability have especially'; fitted
him for this. Elmwood citizens are all
familiar with his watch word "All to
gether! Boost for Elmwood." i
Mr. Stark has always been identified
with the Republican Party, although
he has never before been an aspirant
for official position within theift of
the people, and we feel that his pres
ence among our corps of county officials
will not only be an honor but will add
dignity to that body and if he is elected
the people of Plattsmouth willfind in
him a worthy townsman and our county
an efficient official.

THE body of a Range is practically the life of a Range.
The life.of a range depends on the material from
which it is made. Charcoal Iron by actual test has been
proven to resist rust, heat and crystalization 300 per cent
greater than steel. Majestic Range bodies are all made
of charcoal iron. No other range in the world is made of
this material. It costs considerably more than steel, but
the Majestic never stands back for cost when it can im
prove its range. By comparing the life of old time iron
nails with the steel nails of today or old style iron stove
pipe and tinware with that of today, gives you an idea of
the lasting qualities of the Majestic over a steel range.
This feature alone adds 300 per cent to the life of a Majestic.

Knowing thot our customers appreciate good Hosiery we wish to call your at
tention to our new Fall stock probably larger then ever-and we want also to
mention tho fact that in addition to the advance in duty there has been a very
heavy advance in cotton which means higher prices, but we were fortunate in
placing our orders for all our Hosiery the first part of the year and we intend to
give our customers the benefit in the way of the low prices prevailing before the
advance. This applies to our full line of Ladies', Children's, Boys' and Men's, al
so our guarantee hosiery.
There have bt-en two important dis
coveries made in connection with the
discovery of the north pole, one of
them is the discovery of the pole itself
and the other is that Peary is not a
credit to the country he represents. A
man who is so selfish as to do us he did
when he found that he was about to
make the discovery is noi built of the
right kind of stuff that appeals to the

It is distinctly fair and in fact the

Hundreds of the old comrades in Ne

The record made by the democratic
