The history of the world shows that
there never was a really great man, a
man who accomplished great tilings,
but that when he set out to carry out
the plans which he sought to bring
about, but what he was misunderstood
and villified and held up to ridicule.
Look back over the history of the world
and take the men who have accom
plished results, the men who have done
things, and you will find that when
they began on the plan they had laid
out that nothing too mean could
be said of them. Aldrich is called a
robber, and other things, yet the time
may come when the world will be as
anxious to hail him as agrcat man as it
has been in the past to pay tribute to
others who only a short time before
they had no use for. (Jive the men w ho
are trying to do something a chance to
make good. The editor of this paper
does not claim to know very much
about the banking and money sys
tems of the country, and therefore
doew not propose to criticise those
who do, and who may, for all we know,
be doing their very best to bring about
good results. We prefer to keep quiet
a little while longer and give them a
chance to make good, rather than show
our ignorance by criticising something
we know nothing about.
When you elect a man to office, put
your Bhouldcr to the wheel and help
him to make good. If the people have
enough confidence in him to elect him
they ought to be fair enough to give
him a chance to make good. Boost
him along. Don't stand ofT at a dis
tance and throw cudgels in his road for
him to fall over. Help him witli your
good words of encouragement. This
continual howling against public offi
cials shows poor taste and poorer judg
ment. These Drew Prizes.

Soennichsen's
A False Report.
Upon my return from the Centennial
Convention of the Christian churches
which was recently held in Pittsburg,
the Xews-Hcrald gave what purported
to be an interview with myself concern
ing the convention in which I was made
to repeat a false report which had been
previously published in the press of the
country regarding the attitude of the
Christian church on the subject of bap
tism. This report as published stated
that an entering wedge had been made
by the convention looking toward a
broadening of the views of the Christian
church concerning baptism and that it
would likely be possible before long for
candidates to choose their form of bap
tism, etc.
In justice to myself and to the con
vention I would say that I made no
such report to anyone, and that to my
knowledge no action was taken by the
convention that could justify the cir
culation of any such report. If the re
port hail said that a certain layman by
the name of Church, who was imbued
with destructive criticism was almost
hissed off the platform during one of
the sessions for venturing to suggest
that the Christian church should take
such action in regard to baptism, it
would have been correct. At a follow
ing session of the convention a resolu
tion to not publish this man's speech
in the report of the convention was
carried unanimously and with much
enthusiasm. This does not look like
an "entering wedge."'
Judging from the spirit of the con
vention I would say that the Christian
church has no desire to change any of
God's ordinances, and even if it had,
it is my opinion that the court of Heav
en would not grant the request.
It is well to remember that the head
of the Church is Christ, and that to
Him belongs all legislative power in
heaven and on earth. The Christian
church knows this and it will likely be a
long time before it will begin to pre
sume the right to change anything
which God has decreed.
Very respectfully,
Isaac Wiles.
Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
Holds Up Family.
KEWANEE, 111., Nov. 11 The
family of John Powers, near this city,
was held up by a bandit heavily armed
last night. Powers, his son and two
hired men were bound with ropes and
the women folks were forced to go into
the kitchen where he locked them in.
He was unable to find any money, but
he forced Powers to sign a check for
S")0 and then compelling the son to
hitch up a horse and buggy, made him
drive him to town where he cashed the
check and hiked for the tall timber,
where nil efforts to locate him proved
unavailing.

Otto Carroll and wife were shop
ping in Lincoln Saturday.
William Carroll returned Saturday
from a visit to York county.
Alf Tucker left the latter part of
the week for his home in Olkahoma.
J. S. Rougn ahd wife drove to Ne
braska City Saturday in their auto
mobile. .
Mrs. Rood has left Nehawka for a
short time, and is now a resident of
Heebncr Siding.
Miss May Yallery who has been un
der the doctor's care for some two
weeks past, is now almost well.
The W. C. T. U. society held a very
interesting meeting at the residence
of Mrs. St. John last Saturday.
Mr. DcFoc and wife have returned
to "Ole Berginny nebertine." Life
was too strenuous for him here.
The Entre Nous club demonstrated
last Saturday at the residence of Mrs.
West that they arc quite alive yet.
Five automobiles loaded to the
decks with a jolly crowd went to Lin
cola Saturday and took in the foot
ball game.
All of the Nehawka school teachers
took a vacation last week and at
tended the state teachers' association
at Lincoln.
The slaughter of the squirrels still
goes on, and every day some boy
brings in a bushel or two. Good rid
dance, too.
Otto Carroll is having a furnace in
stalled in his house. Ott don't intend
that the babies and posies shall freeze
this winter.
Mrs. Duclos has given up the hotel
and returned to the farm. A man by
the name of Clark from Union has
taken it and will doubtless make it go
all right.
A man named Baldwin has moved
into Jim Banning's house on the south
side. It is reported that he has a fam
ily that would delight Teddy nine
children.
Mrs. William Rose is at the home
of her son Will near Avoea assisting
in the care of the grandchildren while
their mother is in a hospital in Omaha
very sick.
The Royal Neighbors had a feast
Friday. There is one good thing
about all these fraternal societies:
When they have no business and no
initiations, they can banquet.
Dr. McLcod of Union was up last
week examining candidates for ad
mission to a Woodman Circle, which
is to be organized here shortly. Won
der if they will start olT with n ban
quit?
1. S. Fries has finished a fine new
house on the farm and put in a heat
ing plant and other modern conven
ic::ivs. Now if Iz would only get
married we would, if possible, think
more of him than ever.
Charley Chriswisser was in town
last week inquiring for a house. He
says if he could get a house he would
leave the farm and move to town.
Then if he liked town life after giving
it a trial, lie would build a home.
We are glad to report that our old
friend and neighbor, William Tucker,
who from the excessive pain caused by
an operation on an eye was almost
prostrate from nervousness, is getting
along finely now, and will soon be out
with eyesight almost restored.
Quite a number of our fafrmers who
are overstocked with catt.le have
been selling spring calves. They have
been getting from $15 to $17 per head
and say that if they kept them until
spring the same calves would only
bring from S2'J to $22 per head, and
that they cannot afford to keep them
for the small advance.
It Was a Hen Party.
A most enjoyable party was given
last evening at the home of Miss Ger
ing by the Misses Foster, Gering and
Beeson, in honor of the court house
girls, and that they had a good time is
beyond any manner of doubt. Miss
Helen Kline sang, Miss Bernice New
ell recited, znd Miss Weidman and
Miss Kline furnished a duct. Present
were the Misses Hempel, Kline, Bee
son, Newell, Larson, Murphy, Weid
man, Hassler, Foster, Gering, Mia
Gering, Robertson and Mrs. McVicker.
Light and dainty refreshments were
served.
And He Waited.

Fatland, dressed for his wedding,
waited in vain for the girl that had on
the eve of her wedding gone to a house
where she had not ought to have gone
to meet a friend, was pulled, placed in
durance vile, and the wedding there
fore came not off. Otto wanted to get
married, and after Penrl had plead
guilty of the charge, paid her fine and
the wedding bells will jingle today,
that is, if Pearl doesn't get pulled
again.
THURSDAY. NOV. 25.
WILL BE THE DAY
All Good People Prepare to Fitting
ly Observe the Day.
LINCOLN, Nov. 12. Gov. Shal
enberger, notwithstanding the state
las gone republican, has issued the fol
lowing proclamation:
"At the close of the harvest season,
when the labors of the farmers are
crowned with the bounteous gifts of na
ture and the material growth and pros
perity of our great state has become the
pride and admiration of every citizen,
our hearts are filled with a spirit of
hope for the future znd gratitude for
our present prosperity.
"As a people we should not only take
into account the great progress that has
been made in a material way, but be
thankful that with it has come a fuller
realization of the duties and responsi
bilities of American citizenship, and
above all else, we should render a sin
cere acknowledgment to Almighty God
for the many blessings and divine fa
fors He has bestowed upon His peo
ple.
"In harmony with this sentiment
and by authority of the power in me
vested by law, I, Ashton C. Shallen
berger, governor of the state of Ne
braska, do hereby proclaim and set
apart Thursday, November 25, 1009,
as a day of solemn and public thanks
giving to Almighty God for His bless
ings to us as a state and nation, and I
direct that no business be transacted
on that day at any department od
state. I earnestly urge upon the peo
ple of the state of Nebraska an appro
priate observance of the occasion by a
universal expression of our profound
devotion and reverent thanks to Divine
Providence for the many blcslngs we
have received,"
SENATOR ALDRICH
WAS IN OMAHA
Was Presented a Nice Pair ol
Leather Breeches.
OMAHA, Nov. 11. Senator Al
drich dropped off in Omaha yesterday
and was given a pair of leather breech
es by ex-Senator . Manderson. The
presentation was made at a noon-day
lunch tendered the senator at the Om
aha club, and was the cause of much
merriment. The pants were of the
regular fringed cow-boy style and Mr.
Aldrich accepted them, although mak
ing no promise to wear them while
in attendance at the sessions of the
senate. ,
At a speech in the evening he empha
sized the fact that people should not be
in a hurry to criticise the monetary
methods which were under consider
ation. He said the idea was to have a
system which would lie of benefit to
the whole country and not to any par
ticular section. In speaking of the
situation he said:
"Really, it is a very serious condi
tion. There is more or less embar
rassment of riches about it. We have
25,000banks and will soon have 50,000.
We are going to have the greatest sur
plus eapital of the world in the United
States soon; and we have a great
many things to think about. And I
am going to ask you, by and by, to
help me think about it. It is very
important that somebody should do a
great deal of thinking. It is your duty
as well as mine to take such steps'ns
you can to perpetuate the present
prosperity of the country.

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Platte
mouth, given below, you must come to
this conclusion: A remedy which cured
years ago, which has kept the kidneys
in good health since, can be relied up
on to perform the same work in other
cases. , Read this:
J. W. Hickson. Oak Street, riatts
mouth, Nebr., says: "I will never
cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills,
as they were of such great benefit to
me several years ago. My kidneys and
back were a source of constant suffer
ing and I was subject to attacks of
lumbago that came on without the
least warning. The simplest move
ment was painful and I was anoyed
more or less by the irregular passages
of the kidney secretions. I read bo
much about Doan's Kidney Pills, that
I finally procured a box from Gering &
Co. 's drug store. I was so gratified
with the results of their use that I
publicly endorsed them in 1906 and at
this time, I heartily renew that state
ment. I hope that other kidney suf
ferers will profit by my experience."
