In at Nebraska City was destroyed by fire last Saturday morning. It was located in the business part of the city, and with a high wind raging and lack of water it wa. with great difllcul ty that the buildings adjacent were saved. The ioss is estimated at $2.", U.H) or fcjo.ooo. A. C. Loder, of (treenwood, was a business caller while in the city Tues day. Mr. Loder is a democrat after ur ow n heart, and U lieves a man who professes to le a democrat should vote for the nominees of Ids party, and says he will support any democrat nomi nated for president in except (i rover Cleveland. Papillion has organized a Commer cial club, with all the prominent busi ness men of that city as members . It is strange that Plattsmouth can't have a similar organization. The imp at our back suggests that it may be like every other movement for the benefit of the city, no half dozen of our leaders could agree on any one proposition. Such a state of feeling should not exist. It is no wonder that Dr. W. II. Els tcr has been "putting on so much agony" the past week. The arrival of a new baby boy at his home is the oc casion for all this. It is said that the Dr. on the night after the little one put in his appearance, got so over joyed tliat lie was caught hallowing "papa" down the rain barrel, and w hen asked what he was doing that for re plied, "just to hear how it sounds!" A Poor House. Knse Coghlin ill the role of "The Sec ond Mrs. Tanqiieray," at. the Panne le Saturday night, did not draw a very large audience, but perhaps as large as the play deserved. Her suport was fair only. M is Coghlin is an art ist of national reputation, and to those who have seen her in ot her plays, were very much disapM)inled with "The Second Mrs. Tanqtieray." She did not even do herself just ire n t his occasion, and as a poir house has some effect uoii many actresses, the many empty seats in the parquet and dress circle staring her in I he face may have dampened her ardor, as her acting was not that of KoseCoghlin of previous years. Her "cool recepl ion"' in Plattsmouth will no doubt caue her to give I his city the "g-by" in her future engagements. Must Do It Just the Sarr.2. Several of the po-, mas! c is t h rough out the country have fell, disposed to laugh at the idea of a staff lieing car ried on the rural mail wagons, liearing weather signal tlags, and think it is awful funny, and suggest that the gov ernment would have to hire an extra man to trot along behind and help take the stalT every time the wagon passed under a tree. They also ridicule the idea that in some places the mail-car rier sounds a w histle upon depositing the mail in the box just like a lien cackling after laying an egg. If this is done I bey seem to think it would lie the signal for people all along the line to come out and sit on the fence when the wagon passed by to tind out what kind of weather they are to have next day. Hut that's just what it is intend ed for, and all past masters will soon receive notice from headquarters to follow th above rules. Worth Twenty Year's Subscription. We notice that one of the most learn ed physicians of the world says that harboring envy in your heart against your neighbor is sure to bring disease to your In.ily. lie says no human lie ing can enjoy good health when In harlMirs a spirit of envy and hatred against bis fellow man. He says this is i a diseased state of the mind which is sure to bring disease to the body. The thought here presented may be worth twenty year's subscription to some of the readers of the Journal, if they will only heed the warning of this most learned physician. To Ladies. Please insert the following letter in your esteemed paper: "My wife was afilicted with a serious sickness and being in family way we lost all hope for her recovery. I Ier stomach refused to retain either food or medicine. Theft Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine was suggested to us. Itisreally wonderful how quickly this great remedy restored my wife to a robust health. She feels now better than ever. We can therefore conscien tiously recommend it to all ladies. Ignatius Kawsitz, Fast Palestine, Ohio." Triner's American Elixir ot Fitter Wine is an excellent remedy for ladies. It keeps the digestion regular, the nerves strong, the blood pure, the complexion beautiful. It is made of pure grape w ine and selected bitter herbs and is acceptable to the most delicate stomach. At drug stores and at the manufacturer's, Jos. Triner, 709 south Ashland ave. Chicago Illinois. Newspaper Errors. Every newspaper is liable to make mistakes, and there is none of them free from typographical errors, and some of them make sentences read rather funny. In an recently printed notice in the Shenandoah ( low a) Sentinel the editor suggested that the friends of the library "pass the word around and come out and vote." It appeared in the paper "pass the wood around." Over at Tecumseh the other day one of the papers refered to the bride groom in a wedding notice as "a man of "stealing qualities," meaning of course a man of "sterling" qualities. At Sterling an editor wrote for bis subscribers to bring him oats on sub scription and the compositor got a "c" for an "o" and the advertisement ap peared for "cats." The same paper published a poem in which the line was written "See the pale martyr in Ids sheet of fire." The compositor set it as follows: "See the tail marytrin his shirt on fire." The proof reader may think he has read it "clean." and then he laughs to himself when a ten year old school boy detects such errors as these. G. Washington on Deck Again. The new two cent postage stamp is much neater in appearance that the old one. It his almost a full face por trait of Washington with a draped American tlag on each sido. The daf o of his birth and death are under the picture. The stamp is printed in car mine ink and is a tine specimen of the engraver's art. The old stamps had become an eyesore. An entire ne set jvill be made from one cent up. Dr. Elster, Dentist, Waterman Block. Better Roads. It is a very notable fact that as usual aMut tliis time every year, the farmers are awakening to the fact that better road are needed. If the farmers from one spring to another would keep up a hot agitation of the question, organize in every road district, and then to a county organization, then a state or ganization of the whole farming inter ests, something tliat will amount to a great ileal in the direction of better roads, could be accomplished. There is only one t rouble witli those who use t he roadsat all seasons of the year, and that is, when they are in their very worst condition then the howl goes up for lietter roads. Then, again, when warm weather comes, the roadsdry out and become smooth, the howl for "bet ter roads" dies out until the breaking up of another winter and they become almost impassable. To inaugurate a better road system and successfully carry out their plans of operation, the people interested must organize, agitate and "all pull together" from one year's end to another, and they will tinally enjoy better roads theen tire year round. Death of Another Pioneer. John Ilauer, the hardware merchant, received a telegram Tuesday morning announcing the death of William Schneider, which occurred at Papillion, Sarpy county. The deceased was one of the pioneersof Cass county, and for merly resided on Turkey creek, west of Plattsmouth, w here he continued to reside until the death of his wife, about fourteen years ago. After which he sold out and removed to Sarpy county, where lie resided until death removed him. Mr. Schneider came to Cass county along in the GO's, where he rear ed a family of four children, three boys and one girl, but one of which, a boy, survives. While a resident of this county he possessed a large circle of friends, who regret his demise. Thus has passed over the (Ireat River an other old pioneer and excellent citizen. Death of Geo. W. Kinser. After a lingering illness or many weeks George "W. Kinser died at his home in this city on Monday morning, March 2, 1JKKJ. About three years ago the deceased suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, from which date his health lias been gradually declining. He was an early settler, and has been a resi dent of Plattsmouth for over 30 years. He was 79 years old, and leaves a wife and three sons, as follows: William M., of Virginia; Charles, of Dubuque, Iowa, and John, of Plattsmouth. The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon Services were held at the M. E. church, after which the remains were conveyed to Oak Hill cemetery, followed by a large number of sympathetic friends, as well as the Masons of the city, un der whose aupicesthe ceremonies were conducted at the grave. Th Proper Cuper, From Chicago comes the news that an endeavor is about to be made to unite and organize the farmers of the United States into one gigantic farm er's union. Throughout Illinois, In diana, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska the preliminary work of organization lias commenced. If the American farmers were united in a body, as all the mechanics in the several trades are united, they could break up all the produce exchanges, fix the price of farm products to suit themselves, lend one another money at a low rate of interest, elect public officers who will take spe cial care of the agricultural interests, dominate the politics and commerce of the country, and suggest to the trusts and combines that they go just as straight to hades as soon they posi bly can. The Louisville Mill Burned. A special under date March 2, gives the following account of the destruc tion by fire of the Louisville mill on Sunday morning: "The Louisville mill, owned by C. D. Tappan, was discovered to be on fire about 4 o'clock Sunday, and, jn less than an hour was in ruins. The fire raged fiercely for some time, threatening much near-by property. The corn cribs caught fire, but were saved. The Duff elevator and Jackman mill were also saved, although it was a narrow escape. "The mil was bujlt in by Tarn, Farmele and C. A. Rdchey at a cost of S 12,000. Jt was. sold to Mr. Tappan last June. With the buildings were con' sumed about 2,000 bushels of wheat, a large quantity of flour and some mis cellaneous stock, all of a value qf afequt 12,500. The insurance U about one- half of the property. "It is impossible to say whether the mill will be rebuilt or not. It had a capacity of one hundred barrels a (Jay. 'ine vujage has no fire protection, but if had the mill could not have been saved when the fire was discovered." For Sale! Four desirable bouses, located in the best part of the city of Platts mouth. Well improved and in ex cellent repair. These bouses have al ways been occupied at a very fair rental. A bargain if sold soon, as I desire to locate elsewhere Jamks H. Hebold. Another Pioneer Passes Away In the death of (I. I). Connally an other Cass county pioneer passes a way- Mr. Connally died at Ids home, near Murray, on Wednesday night, Februa ry 2.", 190.'t, of pneumonia. He was among the earliest pioneers of Nebras ka, coming here in when it was a territory. He was for years engaged in freighting from the Missouri river to the mountains. In the early days of his career he bought several ranches near Julesburg, Colorado, on which he had erected numerous buildings, but which were burned by Indians, leaving him almost penniless. He afterwards located in Cass county, and by Jus hon orable and energetic business qualities lie became quite wealthy, and leaves considerable property to be divided among hischildren, who are all grown. He was a veteran of the Mexican war He was a brother of Phil. Connally, the great wheat king of Oregon. The de ceased was 78 years of age, and was born in Tennessee. His wife and four childrensurvive him. In the death of Mr. Connally the community loses one its most exemplary citizens ami neigh bors, and ids family a loving husband and a most dutiful father. Peace to his ashes. Should Have Been Fined $25,00. It is the duty of everyone, and espe the city officials, to see that the occupation tax ordinance is enforced to its fullest extent. Herein is where Judge Archer made a mistake the oth er day. When a man deliberately comes here and in defiance of law pur sues his avocation, as the Omaha junk dealer did last week, he should have been made to pay in fine the full ex tent of the occupation tax ($25,00) that our local dealers pay, instead of a sim pie fine of $8,00. What did the Omaha dealer care for a fine of this amount when he only comes once a year, and then makes a clean sweep of every thing in sight. We presume he will do the same thing next year and get off by paying the small tine. If he was here one dav or one hour on I v. Le. should have been made to pay, in justice to home dealers, the occupation tax in full. If this ordinance is for the pro tection of home industries, we say en force it to its fullest intent. Goes to Oregon. C. W. Shermah, the gentleman who compiled and published the Black Hills Belt Cities Directory, was iu the city last Thursday to say good-bye to his Central City friends, and on Sunday he departed for Talent, Oregon, where he will visit for an indefinite period with a orother whom he has not seen for ten years, It was on Mr. Sherman's paper the Plattsmouth (Jseb. ) Journal that the writer served his apprentice ship at the printing trade first as the young imp who built fires, run errands cussed the compositors and got cussed and cuffed in return; then as a com positor, and, during the last few years of Mr. Sherman's management of the paper, as foreman and job printer. The writer has worked in numerous newspaper and' job offices since that time, but he has never met an employ ing printer who treated his employes with more fairness and consideration than did Charles W. Sherman. May the fates deal kindly with him in the closing chapter of life's drama. Central City (S. D.) Register. Short Change Racket Worked. The following clipped from, the Mur dock items in the i&st issue of the Elmwood Leader-Echo, shows that the short change racket is yet being worked successfully to the sharpers in some sections. The best way is to make no change for large bills for parties unknown to yoq; "Two sharpers came to town Satur day on the afternoon freight, leaving on the same train. While here they visited Harry McDonald and swindied him out of $9. One of the men asked McDonald to change a ten dollar bill, when the other stepped up and said he "could change it," so McDonald re turned the ten just handed him. But on mvestigatitn the fellow found he was a quarter short. They then called on McDonald again for the change handing him a bill which he supposed to be the ten handed him, before, but which afterward proved to be a one dollar bill, They took the ten hard earned dollars and made for their train and have not been seen or heard of siuce," Euemie Nq Discredit. H is no discredit to a man to have enemies and opposition. Many men hesitate to take any course that will call forth the opposition of any person, because they do not want to have ene mies. The world is f ujl of envious poo pie. Some people hate a man because he is sccessful in business or occupies a prominent position in the community. The world has no animosity toward the quiet citizen who offends no one, gets in nobody's way. It is the live men, the men of push and energy, who incur enmity. Every man who is fear less in the discharge of his obligation in any station of life has enemies. "Exquisitos" is the popular cigar, and a most elegant smoker. Made only by Herman Spies.

To use an 18th century phrase, this is an "o'er true tale." Having hap pened in a small Virginia town in the winter of 1JJ02, is a story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs. John E.IIarmon,of Mel fa Station, Virginia, had no personal knowledge of the rare curative properties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last January," she says "my baby took a dreadful cold and at one time I feared she would have pneumonia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy and I began giving it to my baby at once and It soon cured her. I heartly thank the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for placing so great a cure within my reach. I cannot recom mend it too higly or say too much in ts favor. I hope all who read this will try it and be convinced as I was.'' For sale by all druggists. What Next? A new scheme for the rural mail route is to have deliveries right at the doors of the houses by a wire contriv ance running from the road thereto. The carriers put the mail into a wire receptacle and pull thfi'lever. A spring shoots the mail to the door and at the same time, out-going mail returns to the road in another receptacle upon a parallel wire. Now, what do you thip.k of that? Of Course It la. An exchange wants a flag run up at the postottice to let the patrons and es pecially the business men know when the mail is in and distributed, so they will not have to wait for Us opening or make an unnecessary trip when the train is late. It is a good idea and would accommodate the people in any town where such a thing was put in practice. Dr. Frank L. Cummins, dentist. Otlice with Dr. E. D. Cummins.
