J. C. Smith Injured.
)n Friday afternoon last .1. C. Smith,
employed in the II. X M. coach shops
met with an accident, that hut for the
timely assistance of his co-workers,
inilit have hcen more serious and
prohahly resulted in his death. Mr.
.smith was assist iiu' in lunninj; insome
trucks, and coming to a place where it
was pretty muddy he jumped on the
front end. He concluded after tfoin
a short distance to jump oil, and in
doinso fell with his leji.s across the
track. ne wheel had passed over one
lejtf when his companions succeeded in
pulling him out in time to save further
injury. lie was conveyed to Ir.
Livingston's oilice, where his injuries
were properly cared for. It was
thought at tlrst the limb was broken,
but fortunately the tlesli was only
badly lacerated. Mr. Smith will be
laid up for several days, and perhaps is
rejoicing that the accident was no
worse.
An Injustice.
William tlillespie, the Mynard irrain
man was in the city Saturday. Mr.
(illespie says upon the promise of the
Uijent at that place that he should
have cars at a certain time, he went
to work and bought up a lot of oats,
and when the time arrived the cai
failed to materli.e. There he was
with a thousand or two bushels of oats,
which he had promised to deliver to
parties in Mnaha on a certain date on
his hands and no cars for shipemeut.
This is an injustice to Mr. (Jillespie.
The car famine is all a put up job, and
there is no use denying the fact. The
railroad can fun,i.h the cars but they
don't want to. and there is no way to
compel them. It is an outrage on the
farmers. They have the uraiu to sell
and" many of them are compelled to
sell, but the buyers will not buy simply
Itccause they can't jjet cars in which
toship it. Was there ever such an in
justice perpetrated upon mankind?
A Cass County Fruit Farrr).
The Nehawka fruit tarm. in Cass
county, F. M. 1'ollard. manager, is re
ported to have shipped from the or
chard during thirty-three cars of
apples. From lsooo to 2i),HH) bushels
were worked Into ciaer and of the "o
) gallons made, there are still on
hand about 8,)0 gallons, which will be
converted in the spring into vinegar.
The apple orchard is the largest in the
state, consisting of '200 acres, much of
which is not yet bearing. One of the
next largest orchards in Nebraska is
owneJ by the Crete Nurseries, K. F.
.Stephens manager who in one season
has urown over 13,000 bushelsof apples

Amicably Adjusted.
In the issue of tin Journal of Febru
ary -J'ith, apM -a red an item pertaining
to a breach of prnmisr suit threatened
by Mrs. Amelia SbMinan and against
Charles Rachel, loth of Iouisville.
The latter is Toy-ears old, and tlieformer
is border! u onto lio summers. Mrs.
Shocmaii wauled .",,ooo for ids failure
to carry out the prom is to make Iter
Mrs. Cacl-el. When she saw her old
lover was paying Ids whole attention to
a lady much younger than herself she
came to t he conclusion that "the jig
was up," so to speak, and determined
that he should pay for Iter "wasted
alTecl ions." Kut, Ix'lieving in the old
adage that, "wisdom is the lietter part
of valor," tin' old gentleman tiegan to
in.-tnetiv er to bring almtit a compro
mise of I he whole business, and keep
the seusat ion such a trial would create
out of the courts. Accordingly, last,
Friday the whole matter was amicably
adjusted in this city by Mr. (laeliel

Ring Off.
When you've sampled the joys of a
night with the hoys, and the taste in
your mouth isdark brown, when, with
out restraint you have scattered the
paint, that is crimson all over town,
raise your hand in the air, and most
solemnly swear, that, your desolate
habits you'll doff, that you'll sever the
chain that enfetters the brain, have
the courage, my boy, to ring olT. If
you go in your jaunts to the dangerous
haunts, of the "liquor" that's waiting
for prey, if your salary Hies like the
the clouds in the skies, forever and
away, make the vow in good time, not
another wee dime, on the green cover
ed tabic you'll cough, you are contrib
utingfat to the big stiiped cat, and
you had bet ter conclude to ring off.
If you seek for delight, on the streets
after niuht. and are familiar with the
hovels of vice, if the glasses you oft
clink w it h companions and think you
are cut t ing a harvest of ice, take a wise
solter view of the future when you may
le wallowing deep in the trough of ad
versity's slime perhaps tainted with
crime, think of that, my dear lmy, and
ring oil. If you're seeking for joy that
is free from all alloy, for the essence of
healthiest fun, you are on the wrong
ground, it can only Ik? found "neath
moralty's genial sun. Dash to earth
the foul thai so poisons the soul at tiie
pleadings of "l ight" do not seolT, let
the sjmrt of the town go way back and
sit down bid them all good-bye and
ring off.
Mules Going Up.
Mules seem to be getting higher
every day and that there is a scarcity
of good farm mules is a well know n
fact. This will naturally increase the
value of all kinds of horses and is cer
tainly the time to brush up the surplus
horse stock and get them ready tosell.
Kverything that is able to draw a plow
or cultivator will le sought after as
soon as farm work begins.
Do They Know What They Want?
Some time ago the post office depart
ment at Washington issued an order
that rural mail carriersmust not give
out the names of patrons along their
routes. Now it has ordered that lists
of such patronsle prepared and posted
conspicuously at the iKistortice. The
latter pnqiosition is much handier for
those fellows who annoy- the fanners
with proposition circulars.
Danger Frorn Colds and Grip.
The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Omgh Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tensor thousands who have
used this remedy for these diseases wc
have yet to learn of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain pre
ventive of that dangerous disease. It
will cure a cold or an attack of the
grip in less time than any other treat
ment. It is pleasant and safe to take,

AN EVENTFUL CAREER.
Incidents of the Life of G. D. Con
nolly, Deceased.
Last Sunday's World-Herald con
tained the following biographical
sketch and incidents during the career
f Mr. C. D. Connally, late deceased,
one of the pioneers of Cass county, who
passed away at his home near Murray,
on wenuesuay nigni, Fenruary
l-.o:;:
(J. D. Connally, veteran of the
Mexican war. frontiersman, Indian
lighter and for tifty years a democratic
voter, wlui recently died at Murray
was one of tlie strong characters which
made the west. His life was full of
stirring incidents in the early days.
Once he was raided and burned out by
Indians in Cass county, and again he
was seperated from his brothers, not
knowning their wherealmuts for tifty
years, only to be united again with
them by a strange coincidence after a
half century of seperation. From
cover to cover the story of this pioneer
would make better reading than half
the novels descriptive of the west ever
written.
'Mr. Connally was born July 2., 182.",
near Nashville, Tenn. 1 1 is father was
a tanner. When lOyearsold he moved
to Illinois, where he lived until he
reached the age of 21, where he en
listed to serve in the Mexican war
under Col. I licks, company A, Second
regiment Illinois volunteers. He en
listed as a private, but was promoted
to orderly sergeant before the close of
the war. With his regiment he
crossed the (iulf of Mexico and lauded
at Vera Cruz.
"Soon after returning from the
Mexican war he was married to Miss
Mary Osborne ( who still survives him, )
and moved to St. Louis.
"In 184!), taking tlic gold fever Mr.
Connally started for California, but on
reaching the beautiful valley of the
N ishnabothna, Jowa, he decided logo
no farther. lut in 18f." he was lured
still further west, crossed the Missouri
river at Kock Mutt", Neb., then a
thriving town, and purchased the
Towner property near by, where he
lived until 1S0. He aided in organiz
ing a vigilance committee for the sup
pression of claim jumping, then very
annoying in Cass county.
In 1800 he went to Denver with
three loads of sugar, accompanied by
his son, (Quince, and Sam Johnson,
later of the wholesale firm of Steel &
Johnson, Omaha. In 18G1 he drove
the tirst herd of cattle from the
Missouri river to Denver.
"In I8)2 he again started for Cali
fornia, but on reaching the western
boundary of Nebraska lie became
snowbound at Marble's ranch. In the
spring he purchased the Marble ranch
and one at Julesburg, and turned his
herds out on the range. In 1803 he
returned to Nebraska City and organ
ized freighting outfits to operate be
tween the Missouri river and the
mountains. Those freighting outfits
he conducted personally. One of the
hardships encountered was a water
famine, there being but little water in
the Platte river in 1804. The train
had driven about 40 hours, the oxen
were nearly famished and they were
compelled to drive to the bed of the
river where they dug for water and
succeeded in getting it.
"On the morning of January 9, 180,
his ranches were raided by tne Sioux
and Cheyenne Indians. His building
and wagons were burned and his herds
driven away. Several soldiers and
citizens at Julesburg were killed,
James Itomine, well known in Cass
county, was with Mr. Connally in this
skirmish. Miles Holliday a man in
the employ of Mr. Connally, was
seriously injured by an arrow through
the right shoulder.
"15y this raid Mr. Connally was left
penniless. He put in a claim to the
government for $50,000, the amount
offered him by General Coe prior to
the destruction of his property, but it
was never granted.
"This dauntless old veteran of the
Mexican war never oelieved in giving
up. After working as a day lalxjrer
in the west he returned to Cass county,
near the present site of Murray, in
1870, and became very wealthy before
his death.
"Possibly one of the most happy
incidents in his life is a bit or 1j is
family history. In 1847 he lost all
trace of his three brothers. He
thought he had left them in Illinois,
but couid never receive any word from
them. Jn 1901 he heard from a tourist
w ho had been over Oregon that in the
Grand Koud Valley. Blue mountains,
there was a wealthy wheat kiiisr, a
millionaire, by the name of Connally.
G. !.," as he was familiay known
about his home, dropped a letter to
Union, Oregon, giving a short sketch
of his own life. Bird Connally was
seated in his office when his son read
the letter to him. He did not even
go home to pack a valise, but the
fastest train brought him to his
brother, a meeting after tifty-four
years separation.
"He voted the democratic ticket for
fiTty-four years, and was one of the
true-blue, never faltering partisans.
"Mr. Connally leaves a widow and
four children, John and Nettie of
Murray, and Quince and Charles of
Union, Oregon.
"He was a brave frontiersman whose
undaunted courage helped to make
this country what it is, whose honor
and integrity was a part of his religion
whose blunt motto was:
"If I have ever harmed any man let
him tell me and I will make it right."
Wouldn't Do Some Girls at All.
A marriage license was recently is
sued in Peoria, Illinois, o an infant
Ixiy two years old and a girl 10. This
was done with the consent of the par
ents of iioth in order to keep the inher
itance intact. Since her marriage the
wife has her troubles, and has to call
in the assistance of her mother-in-law
as hubby will not let her sing him to
sleep, but insists in crying for mamma
in I he old fashioned way. Money
would Ije no object to most girls of this
age. They prefer a genuine man for a
husband, toa baby hubby w ith millions.
Too much suspense in waiting, you
know.
A MOTHER GOOSE PARTY.
A Jolly Crowd of Young People Gather
at the Home of Hon. R. B.
Windham.
On Saturday even ing last t he elegant
home of Hon. K. B. Windham, on north
Sixth street, was the scene of one of
jolliest gatherings of young jeople
(ljoysand girls) that has assembled in
Plattsmouth for lo, these many weeks.
The occasion was that of Miss Ellen
Windham giving an entertainment in
honor of theS. S. S. club, of which she
is a memlier. The prominent feature
of the program was wherein Mother
Goose extensively "figured." In order
to make the event a complete success in
every particular, the little lady also
extended invitations to the members
of the '.. '.. Z. club, composed of young
gents solely. The requirements were
that each one should represent some
character in the Mother Goose rhymes,
upon arrival each one was presented
with cards upon which appeared the
names of the members of the clubs.
Opposite each name on the card
the holders were requested to write the
names of each character the person
was supposed to represent. This was
done to test their knowledge or the
characters in the Mot her Goose book.
Then each one was called upon to
draw a picture of Mother Goose, and
right here was where another inter
esting feature came in. The exhibit
of the picture drawn produced a great
deal of merriment. Miss Margaret
Mauzy received the prize for the best
drawing produced.
Soon followed the announcement of
refreshments, and the Z. Z. Z.'s select
ed their partners from the S. S. S. club
of course, and wended fheir way to the
dining room, keeping step to music
emanating from the piano. The table
was most handsomely decorated with
original drawings by Miss Ellen, which
were converted into boxes tilled with
confections. The balance of the even
ing was given to games and other
amusements, and about 11:30, the hour
for departure, all repaired to their
homes with feelings of gratitude to
Miss Ellen for their splendid evening's
entertainment; also to Miss Hermia,
who assisted very materially in making
it a most joyous occasion.
The members of the S. S. S. club
present were Misses lone, Helen and
Margaret Dovey, Gretcheji Donnelly,
Margaret Mauzy, Stantleld Jones, Em
ma Falter. Of the Z. Z. Z. club pres
ent were Jimmie Patterson, Vallery
White, Fred Waugh, George Falter,
Willie Hassler, Millard Klein, Roy
McKinney, Cyrus Tyson and Kirk
Bates.
Misses Margie Agnewand Juliet At
wood, both of Lincoln, and members of
the S. S. S. club, sent regrets. Miss
Helen McLennan, of Lincoln; Robert
Windham, who was home from Lincoln
for a short visit, were present. Also,
Jack and Miss Dora Patterson, cousins
of Miss Ella, were present. Miss Bes
sie Tyson and Wade Windham, who
were also home on a short visit, had
charge of the dining room, and played
their parts well.
COLONIZATION OF THE SOUTHWEST
Aid and Inducement Offered by the
Missouri Pacific Railway.
The Missouri Pacific Railway is
bending every effort towards develop
ing the agricultural, mineral and in
dustrial resources of the west and
southwest. To attain this end, it
asks the aid and co-operation of every
farmer, miner, merchant and pro
fessional man along its lines.
The developement of the products
of any section of the country means
just so much more capital to be spent
in that section. Prosperous neigh
bors make a prosperous community,
especially if they have their interests
at home.
It is this class of persons that the
Missouri racifie Railway asks the
patrons along its lines to invite to
their sections.
You furnish the names and ad
dresses and we will furnish the nec-
cessary descriptive ana uiusiraiea
literature to induce them to settle in
your community.
We wish to colonize the west and
southwest, and offer every inducement
in the way of excellent transportation
facilities nnd low rates to all pros
pective settlers and homeseekers.
