Plattsmouth Telephone No. 85.
Jtne 20,1010.
The week just ended has been mark
ed with stirring events not only in
the halls of national legislation, but
the President, early in the week dem:
onstrated his ability to guagc the tem
per of the people relative to railroad
rate legislation by accomplishing a
diplomatic coup against the railroads
which has won him no end of praise
from all sections of the country
By tact, fair play and good humor
Mr. Taft succeeded in convint'ingthe
presidents of eastern railroads that
an increase in freight rates before the
passiigo of the railroad rate bill would
result in litigation on the part of the
government which might seriously
cripple the railroads and put a tem
porary stop to railroad construction
and the bulling of equipment. The
representatives of the eastern trunk
lines met the President in a spirit of
friendliness and after a conference
extending over several hours the rail
road magnates agreed to withhold the
advance until after the railroad rate
bill had been finally agreed to by the
two houses of Congress and then,
after the bill had become a law, to
proceed along lines laid down in the
law to raise rates, with the right of
review resting in the Interstate Com
merce commission.
E. Dana Durand, Director of the
Census, is now devoting the greater
part of his time to organizing his force
bo that the public may know at the
earliest possible moment the result
of the Census of the leading cities of
the country. Director Durand is of
the opinion that his force will be in
readiness to tabulate the returns
of the supervisors of the cities of the
country of 25,000 or over so that an
nouncements may be made public
during the months of July and August.
Full returns from many of the large
cities of the country arc now in the
hands of the Director and the work of
tabulation is about to commence. It
was said today that the census of Wash
ington would probably be the first to
be announced to be followed as rapid
ly as possible by cities in the order in
which returns have been reported by
the Supervisors, Director Durand
intends to issue two bulletins daily to
the press of the country carrying an
nouncements of the results of the cen
sus takers of the cities. One bulletin
will be issued daily at 11 a. m. and a
second at 0 o'clock thus furnishing copy
for afternoon and morning newspapers.
When the work is fairly started these
bulletins will fall thick and fast,
and even at that it will probably con
sumc the months of July and August
to complete the returns from the cities.
The spectacle of William Bourke
Cochran, silver tongued orator, bril
liant wit and master of repartee, de
fending a jvnniless negro charged with
murdering a fellow negro in a laundry
last March, was an unusual feature
of the New York City Courts last week
The appearance in the case of this
modern Demosthenes, who, it will
be recalled, received 11,000 a speech
from the Gold Democrats to stump the
country for Palmer and Huckner again
st Bryan in the latter s first campaign,
caused a stir in the Criminal Court's
building, where he is a stranger
Cochran was assigned to defend the
negro by the court, which of late has
been designating lawyers of the front
rank to defend impecunious prisoners
in homicide cases instead of assigning
political shysters to the work as here
tofore. It is doubtful if the negro
realized the value to him of the services
of the eloquent pleader assigned to him
To have regularly employed Cochran
would have cost him in the neighbor
hood of $25,000 if he could be retainer
even at that small figure. For his
trouble the state will give the lawyer
500, the regular fee paid to counse
assigned by the courts.
Marcus Daly left a dower to his
daughter, Miss Harriet, a neat sum
of $6,000,000. Harriet married Count
Sigray. The count owed the trifling
sum of $000,000 which was paid off
from this money soon after the cere
n.ony. Tl.e couple Lad lift $5,400,000

invested in America, from which they
drew the interest. Is this not an af
front to dignity and sanctity of mar
riage when such matters pass without
comment? It certainly implies
a low standard of manhood and woman
hood.
There are over 2,700 tongues spoken
in the world and yet we call him a
'wonderful" linguist who can fluently
speak a measly half dozen.
And the city dailies today devoted
a column to the telling of how Miss
Alexander is to be the first lady to
kiss former president Roosevelt when
he lands upon American soil. Aint it
great to be foolish?
The White Slave trade has recently
stirred up great interest among cer
tain denominations, and the great
good being done by these good people
can never be realized by those who are
not in close touch with the enormaiy
of.- the trafhic and the horror with
which the business is carried on.
Now if European countries will get
wise and put a stop to some of the
dear moneyed mammas in America
buying their noble sons who have a
title, a little brains, some real- old lace
ncestors and impure blood, then they
will be lining up with the times, and
by cooperation it would be possible
to obliterate from the world this deat
ing and dickering in human flesh
Do you think the war of 'Co put a stop
to slavery?
Cass County People Wed.
John M. Chalfant (better known as
'Jack") and Miss Minnie Shoemaker
both well known residents of this
vicinity, were the principals in a very
pretty wedding that took place at
the residence of the groom's uncle, Hon
Amos E. Gantt, in Falls City on Wed
nesday evening, June 8. The wedding
was a pleasant surprise' to their many
friends in this village just the thing
that the young couple had planned
After a short visit in Falls City they
returned to this village and received
the hearty congratulations of numer
ous friends and a cordial welcome
y relatives. They will make their
ome on a farm near this village.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Matt II. Shoemaker, and
is one of the most popular young la
dies in this part of the state. She
las grown from infancy here, and
has tne Highest esteem and loyal
friendship of all who have formed her
acquaintance. The groom is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Chalfant, and
ib one of our most popular and ener
getic young farmers who has spent his
ifetime in this county. As the wedding
was planned as a surprise to most
people here, the particulars were not
known in time for a report last week,
but nevertheless we join their numer
ous friends in extending to them a
wish that they may enjoy long life
and unlimited happiness and pros

Alternoon Accident at Shops.
Ono of the old Burlington shop men,
Frank Ilaucn, had three fingers of
his right hand horribly mashed this
afternoon a little after three o'clock.
Rauen and Joseph Schleet were carry
ing a heavy car buffer on their shoul
ders irom the store House to a way
car standing on the repair track,
when the accident aoccurred. The
men had reached the car and were
lowering it to the ground when it
slipped from Sehlect's grasp, falling a
distance of avbout two feet and pin
ning Raucn's hand under it. The hexv
heavy buffer reduoed the man's first
and second finger to a pulp and severly
injured the third, causing the man in
tense pain until he could reach the
company physician and have the mem
ber dressed.

I hereby announce myself as
caudidate for County Commissioner

the will of the republicans, at the
primary election this fall.

Ex-Senator Pollard of Ne
hawka Leaves Tomor
row For Island
WILL TAKE CARGO OF
CASS COUNTY FLOUR
Nehawka Produce Will Find Mar
ket Among Natives In the
Greater Antilles.
Ex-rerpesentative E. M. .Pollard
of Nehawka, General manager of
the West India Mahogany company,
is expecting to leave tomorrow for
Hayti, where he will remain for the
summer, looking after the interests
of the company, getting the operations
started in the big lumber camp and
the work of the comparitively mw
company well launched in the actual
business world. In company with his
nephew of Lincoln, he will go by way
of Omaha, St. Louis and Mobile.
At the Alabama town, the party will
board the company's boat, manned by
a handful of tars and set forth on the
interesting trip. The boat is a rather
small one, measuring 135 feet from
bowtostren, 24 feet in width and draw
ing 0 feet of water. It has a total
capacity of about 200 tons and when
it slips its moorings it will have nearly
a full cargo, made uj of provisions,
saw mill machinery and a car load of
Nehawka flour. The shipment of the
Nehawka product to the island is to
be tried as an experiment and if the
produce finds as ready a market as it
is expected to, the south bound boats
of the company will carry many car
loads of it in the future.
The voyagers will skirt the coast
of the United States, along the notth
coast of Cuba where brief stops
will be made, through the windward
passage between Cuba and Hayti and
tie up at a port in the southern part
of the island, Jacnicl, one of the pro is
ing cities of the Greater Antilles.
Jacmel will be one of the cities which
will feel the good effects of the Panama
canal as it will be a stopping point
of nearly all t he ocean liners and freigh
ters plying from Colon to the United
States. Already the docking facilities
of the city are being improved bythi
enterprising Americans who have in
terests on the island.
The headquarters of the lumber
company are situated at Salkrou, a
little camp in the lumber district 40
miles from Jacmel. The saw mill,
which is to be transported by the good
ship about to leave Mobile, will be
located at Salkfrou, but all the shipping
of the concern is done from Jacmel.
The lands of the company cover three
million acres, a large poition of which
is clear and may be used for cultiva
tion. The principal trees on the
plantation are large mahoganies, twen
ty or thirty inches in diameter, and
high enough to make two or three
cuts when felled. Besides the natural
mahogany timber, there is some two
hundred million feet of long leaf pine,
and quantities of cedar and other
valuable timber. The entire output
of the camp will be used for American
consumption. The land that is' not
covered with timber is of great value
for raising pine-apples, grape fruit
and numerous other tropical fruits
which bring big prices on the home mar
kits. The Cass county man will strike
the island in the dry se ason, the agree
able time of the year, the rainy spells
of the seaon coming in April and May
and in September and October
During these four months it rains in
torrents, but the fall is not quite as
great as in the Panama country. A
range of mountains extends parallel
to the coast line and on the slopes of
the chain is the most abundant rain
fall of the country. Where the rain-fal
is so heavy, the vegetation grows dense
and rank. It has never been de
stroyed by man and the life in these
jungles is the same as it, was one hun
dred years ago. During the dry seas
sons of the year, the climate is very
enjoyable, with little moistutre pre
cipitated The thermometer gets wcl
toward the top of the tube, but the
cool ocean breezes keep the day
from becoming oppressive.
The island as a whole is just about
100 years behind the times. The na
tives are black, greasy and ignorant
having secured but little education
and still dressing in their crude cloth
ing. As in most of the tropical coint
ries, they arc care-free and easy going
The land was at one time held by Great
Britain, but for a number of years hai
been governed by the natives. Their

government is modeled after that of
our country, having a president, con
gress and many other deatails re
sembling ours.
The principal merchants of the cities
are liermans and Syrians, but the
foreigners held in the best faith by
the natives arc the Americans. The
)Iack men consider the Germans as
eing in the country only to seek a
fortune and leave without helping to
ward the betterment of the land. It
is true that is about the only thing
that draws any foreigner there, as a
rule, when the Americans enter, they
spend money in developing their re
sources and do not take away every
penny cleared. The cities are far
from what we would call modern
and the many conveniences which we
lave in our hemes are practically
unknown there. There are many
icrds of goats on the island, goat meat
being one of their principal foods.
The savor of the meat is not far from
)iul and after a person has partaken
of it a few times, one soon crows
to like it. Mr. Pollard ai d his eighteen
year old nephew, who has been suf
fering from blood poison this spring
will have a most ideal summer outing
while the former is transacting the
business of the lumber country.

It Has
The hardest test in the test of time
and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood it
well in Plattsmouth. Kidney sufferers
can hardly ask for stronger proof
thanthcfollowing:
J. B. Partridge, Eighth street,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I suffered
constantly from pains across my
loins and kidneys and on several oc
casions I was so badly crippled that
I could only get about w ith the aid of
two canes. The use of the first box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from
Gering & Co's. Drug store, helped
me so greatly that I continued taking
the remedy until I was entirely re
lieved. It would be impossible for me
to speak too highly of Daon's Kidney
Pills."
The above statement was given
in June 1900 and on Dec. 20, 1908
Mr. Patridgesaid: "I still recommend
