Amick 'ass county loses one of it. s very lest citi.t iis His death occurred at tlie home of his son. three mi les soul h west of Mynard on Monday evening, March !',, :o:;. The cause of his deal h was a complaint of several months durat ion. Several months ao Uncle (leore, as we all call him, had an operation per formed at one of the private hospitals in Lincoln for an aU-ess ifrown on his back. Several weeks after this was accomplished the writer met him in this city for the last lime. Most any close observer could .see that he was declining gradually, and erhaps his demise will le more of a surprise to his many friends than it was to the writer. Mr. A mick came to Cass county in ls.Vi, and soon thereafter pre-empted bio acres of land where he resided up to his death. He urew proscrous, and added several hundred acres more to his ti ist pre-emption, and was con sidered to Ik very well-to-do. lie was a man of honor an integrity, and in his daily pursuits always pursued such methods as to win the respect and confidence of ali w ith whom he came in contact s. oially or in a business way. The deceased was 72 years of ar". and l -aes three thrown children to inoiiiii his death, as follows: Mrs. Minerva Slocum, of Murray: I. I. Amick, with whom he made his home, and John Amick. of Stockton, IJooks county, Kansas. The funeral ticcurred Wednesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon from the I'nilcd llrethern church at WocV. I'.lutTs The services were conducted by IJev. Carter, after which interment was made in the Ki'ht Mile drove cemetery. Thus has passed away another of Cass county's pioneers. Feace to his ashes. He's Dead. It is reported that our esteemed friend, the Sultan of Sulu is dead, and that there is no hope to relieve him from his condition of deadne.ss. lie departed this life from his palace, leav ing his wives behind him. He seemed to tie short of breath and transporta tion. Multiplying the feeling of most one-wived men by twelve, he must have fell that he was goiiiix to rest. The one of his sons who gets up now and kills oil the other sons will be Sul tan instead. He will be the safest Sultan in the world, for he sleeps, drinks and becomes drunken under the t!ag of the Cnited States. Xo one can molest him. lie will inherit his fath er's wives who are not his mother, and under the llag will take a few more. He gets three thousand dollars a year from Washington and will have a palace of slate, a few Waterbury watches, a phonograph, two bed quilts, a girdle for his lions, a taste for blood, a quan tity of tleas, and divers other things. He w ill have trouble to raise liis salary. We tax ourselves for that. In fact the coal trust made the last squeeze on purpose to pay it. He wont have any trouble with his wives. If they get too gay lie simply cuts otltheir heads and howls for more, all under the pro tection of the stars and stripes. We are glad to know we have this Sultan. It has always been our ambition to own Sultans, and now that we have one maybe we can raise a coop full. What the revolutionary hero really said was "tlive me a Sultan or give me death." And Time, to he obliging, has given us both. Serious Wreck on the M. P. Averted. Passenger train No. .11, going north on the Missouri Pacific railroad, met with an accident one mile north of Plattsmouthyesterday morning, which came near proving very disastrous. A pair of trucks under the baggage car jumped the track, and w as noticed just in time to prevent a wreck of the en tire train and perhaps the death of nu merous passengers. At the time the train wasnearingthe. tresslp that cross es the Platte Iwttom wagon road, which is aUiut thirty-rive or forty feet high. When the engineer discovered the trouble he put on the air-brakes and stopped the train just as the en gine and the baggage car had got onto the bridge. It was most a dangerous place for such an accident to occur, as the embarkment is also very high, and it was a miracle that no further dam age was done. As it was traffic be tween this city and Omaha was delay ed until three pr fpur o'clock in the af ternoon, when the w recking y-rev had the track cleared for passing trains. A BOX PARTY Given by Misses Marjorie Agnew and Juliet At wood In Honor of the S. S. S. Club. A "Ikix party" was tendered the S. S. S. club of this city by Misses Ma jorie Agnew and Juliet Atwood, two young ladies of Lincoln, who are also mcmliers of the club, Thursday night last. Invitations were not only sent to all members of the S. S. S. club, but were also extended to many others. About the invited guests assem bled at the residence of Mrs. C. C. Parmele. and from there repaired to the Parmele Theatre to witnessthe "Devil's Auction," the large boxes down stairs having been provided for the occasion. Those who answered the invitations by their presence were Misses Kinma Falter, Stantield Jones. Margaret Mau.y, lone, Helen and Margaret lovey, Iretchen Donnelly, Hallie Parmele, Katharine Atwod and the hostesses. Miss Ellen Wind ham sent regrets. The following young gents were pre sent in answer to invitations: (leorge Falter, Kirk Pates, Koy loyd, Koy McKinney, Jamie Patterson, Jack Patterson, Fred and Sam Waugh, Pol lock Parmele, N ailery White and Paul Morgan. Two large six-pound boxes of choice confections were provided one for each Ikix and it is needlesf to say that everything was carried out in such a manner as to make it one of the most enjoyable events the young ladies and gents ever experienced. Mesdames (J. C. and T. K. larmele chaperoned the party, and it goes without saying, they had their hands full. Miss Agnew and Atwood are great favorites in Plattsmouth, and the guests owe the little ladies a debt of gratitude for the evening's enjoyment. Their presence in tnis city is always hailed with much delight, as is also their return home to Lincoln greatly regret ted by t lit ir associates. Eledge Convicted. The Hist trial to come up on the criminal docket of district court Mon thly was that of Oscar Eledge, charged with robbery The evidence was finished Tuesday morning and given over to the jury about 11 o'clock. After court had convened after the dinner hour, the jury returned with a verdict of guilty. The penalty is from one to seven years in the peni tentiary, hut as yet J udge Jessen has not passed sentence. This is the case wherein Eledge it wlil be remembered lured Jack Hakes to a secluded place in this city, knocked him down with a club and rimed his pockets, securing his rocketbook and 10. The Second Within a WeeH. Mrs. liosetta Wirth, of Murdock, was brought here by Sheriff Mcliride last Thursday night and adjudged in sane by the board acting in the mat ter and conveyed to the asylum at Lincoln the same day, making the sec ond patient that had been taken from Cass county to that institution within a week. Conrad Wirth, her husband, was sent to the same institution near ly three years age, but was discharged some time ago as being cured. The unfortunate woman has been suffering from a number of hallucinations. She had a pet dog which she seemed to think a great deal of. Several days ago it was very badly treated by some boys of the town, and it is thought the anger occasioned by the mistreatment of her pet hastened insanity. Mrs. Wirth is about 47 years old. Joint Institute Arrangements have been completed for the holding of a joint institute of the teachers of Sarpy and Cass counties in this city, commencing August 17, A corps of tho mosi competent in structors have been selected and the outlook for one of the most successful meetings of teachers ever held in this section of Nebraska, are very bright. Among those who will assist in the work are: former state superintendent L. I). Harvey, of Wisconsin; Superin tendent James M. Coughlan, of Wilkes barre, Penn,, and Frank M. McMurray, of Normal. III. County Superintendent W. C. Smith of this county, has been requested by State Superintendent Fowler to take charge of the joint institute. Father Nugent. The many friends of Rev. Father Nugent, formerly of the College Hill Catholic church, and later of St. John's church of this city, will be pleased to hear from him. A letter recently received from him by Mr. Conrad. Schlater, states (.hat he is in good health and. well pleased. wjtU his life in the Sant Henedjct's Monastery, Iiiruiingham, England, where he is professor in tlie higher branches in the education of young men preparing themselves for the priesthood. Father Nugent sends his best wishes to his many Plattsmouth and College Hill friends, and says he prays for them all. Father Nugent had a great many friends here, all of whom regretted his departure from this city. They all wish him good health. Dr. Frank L. Cummins, dentist. Office with Dr. E. D. Cummins.

After several uncessful attempts for trial, the matter of J. T4. Gilmore vs. James II Kit and Dr. R. F. Rrendel came up in Justice Archer's court last Saturday. The plaintiff brought suit to recover $.'7.U1 claimed to be due from defendants on note. The defend ants claimed that the note in question did not belong to the plaintiff, but to his brother, against whom they held a claim. The case was tried before a jury or two, composed of Richard Hair and George Lehnhoff, who brought in a verdict for plaintiff. Danger Frort) Colds and Grip. The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we 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. For sale by all druggists. Moths Dislike Printers' Ink..

The Missouri l'acitic 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 c'ass of persons that the Missouri Pacific 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 and illustrated literature to induce them to settle in your community. We wish to colon i.e 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. If C.

Everything he does is a sign of something. If you haven't a measly old cat you had better get one at once. An Accident.

Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rernedy. 'When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one lottle of Cham lerlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enter orisc, Shortvillo, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from cough ing myself to pieces by taking a la spxnful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable sur- , prise is putting it very mildly. J had' no idea that it would or couid knock out the grip, simplybecau.se i never tried it for such a purixj.se. but It did, and it seemed with the" second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only to be of late duration, but the pains were far less severe, and f had not used the contentsof one hot t le before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.
