THE COMMISSIONERS REPLY
To the Charges Made By the Weep
ing Water Herald.
Is tin-re anything wrung witli you,
Mr. Editor?
IW-rring to several articles pul
li.lu'd in a so railed Wei'ping Wat-r
1 Ira!il in Vol. I No. a baby six
months olJ, in wliieli In stairs thai a
lroiiihirit attorney from rial t.smouth
lii ves him a pleasant little roat, and
trot's on to say t hat. one of t In- ineiiitters
of tin: iMiard of roiinty commissioners
Is a partner withthc bridiricont rartor
and g-tsa rake u" on i-v-ry bridge
huilt in the county.
Now, Mr. Kditor, this promim-nt at
torney voluntarily states thai he
iicvpr mail; such ;i statement, to you
or anylxMly Hs; now, Mr. Kditor,
it is up to you to explain how and
wlicrc you got your informal ion, or
else to aduiil that you simply lied: a
man ran l a man even if In- publishes
a ii'WspaMr.
You say that Mr. Falter is a partner
w ith Contractor Sheeley in a western
ranehe. Mr. Falter will state right
here that he has some shares in the
( 'orrona i 'at lie company in Walton,
(.'olorado, Mr. Shee ley lias some, and
others have some, and ir Mr. Kditor
wants some I think he can get t hem at
ho per share by writing to the secre
tary of the company.
Now what in the world has this to
do with roiinty atTairs, anyway? If
there areany dividends declared in the
ahove named eompanv, Mr. Falter will
get his part, Mr. Sheeley his, and
others theirs. Mr. Kditor, do you rail
that a rake otT on bridges? Can't a
man invest his money wherever lie
pleases, and was not Mr. Sheeley the
lowest Milder sinee he got the contract
in 'ass county?
You also refer to old bridge lumler
that has Men dumpi! into creeks and
stolen hv farmers and sold to com
missioners, which is really lo silly to
answer. Is not the supervisor sup
posed to lake care of it and use it in
building approaches and w ind's and is
it not done? You name us a super
v isor in t he county tint looks after that:
was not the lumber you refer to in
Weeping Water, turned over to your
town for approaches ami sidewalks?
"Wluise duty is it to take care of it,
and was it not used for that purpose?
To our knowledge, we do not know of
a single commissioner ever purchasing
any lumber fr m the county. We have
sold some old bridges to individuals,
and they paid for them, incases where
the supervisor had no use for the old
lumber.
You also make a statement that the
board of coin msssioners are a husy liody
at .t r day and excuses. Yes, we
admit that i'.i per day is rather large
pay, out as long as the legislature saw
fit to make it that, we have to draw
it. At the same time, the legislature
lit this last session, and limited
this Ixnly to l.ooo each per year, so
l-rha(H you can sleep over this
proposition, as we will guarantee you
it will not lie over the limit.
You ask the question, "did you ever
filter into a written agreement with
Attorney Matthew Gering to tight the
clock case for 1."iO after the county at
torney had advised you to settle the
claim, and did not Mr. tiering agree to
tight the ca.se in the courts for l"o in
irase he won: in case he lost receive
nothing? Iidn't he lose?" No sir,
u say he did not lose, and if Mr. Kdi
tor would post himself. nV might If
aide to tII the truth. lie fore Mr.
Gering had this case, the supreme
court held that the county washable
for the total amount '..' I. with inter
est from date at 7 er cent, which
would amount to f l,u;T.7". When the
c-ase went to the supreme court the
M'i'oiid time. It held that the county
was only Iiatl fr the principal, or
jt. lid Mr. tiering not save the
county i;.4.n ami were hi services
- not worth 7."?

For the benefit of you, Mr. Kditor,

A Victim of Labor.
Vincent Zahralski, of Ionora, Pa ,
was returning home from his daily
hard work, being completely exhausted
and hardly able to walk. A cold,
sharp wind was blowing and within
a few minutes the lnnly covered with
sweat was shivering. At home he
immediately went to bed, but shortly
afterwards began spitting blood. For
a whole week he was confined to the
bed and lost all hope to get well again.
Then he received Triner's American
Klixirof Hitter Wine which completely
cured him. lie wrote a letter where
in he expresses the wish to have his
letter published for the benefit of
others. Triner's American Elixir of
Hitter Wine restored his lost vitality,
brought, all organs to their regular
activity and gave strength to all tis
sues. Tims serious disease can be
averted and cured. In all cases of
weakness, languor and fatigue, this
remedy stands w ithout a peer. It w ill

ably surprised on Friday evening by a
number of her most intimate friends

'ON THE OLD PLANTATION.'
An Interesting Program Rendered and
o Most Enjoyable Time.
One of the most interesting and en
joy able entertainments that has been
given in this city for some time was
the program rendered by the l'latts
mouth Woman's Club at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Marshall on Friday
evening last, in the pressence of a large
number of the clubaud visitors. This
was what is termed an opening meet
ing, and in the fullest sense, "An Even
ing on the Old riant at ion," under the
leadership of Mrs. L. A. Moore, ably
assist i'd by Miss Nell Hopping, of Gal
veston, Texas.
The following program was carried
out to perfection, and it is unnecessary
to say it was enjoyed by all:
"Hush, Little Piccaninny," Mrs. G.
F. S. Hurton; "Old Hlack Joe," Mr.
and Mrs. L. A. Moore and Mr. and Mrs.
C. S. Johnson: review of Mrs. Huth
McKnry Stuart's late work, "Napoleon
Jackson," or "The Iioeking Chair Nig
ger," Mrs. II. D. Travis; an instru
mental number, "Suanee Kiver," Miss
Verna Cole; "A Definition," Mrs.
Moore; "Pig Jowl and Greens," a reci
tation by one of the picaninnies; quar
tette, "Memories of Old Kentuky,"
America's only original music, by Mrs.
House; sketch of Joel Chandler Harris,
Mrs. Moore; quintet, "My Creole Sue,"
solo by Master Mil ford Hates: "Sleep
My Honey Habe," girls' glee club; solo,
"Iv'e Got My Eyes on You," Miss Hop
ping: history of the cake walk, illus
trated by four littlegirls;quartet, "Po'
Little Lamb;" "Social Evolution,"
by Hon. II. Flat Turner. The exercises
closed with "Dixie,"chorusand dance.
Some who were down on the original
program were absent, but substitutes
were pressed into the service, and the
program supplemented by a duet by
Mrs. Hurton and Mr. Windham and
a few excellent solos by Miss Hopping.
Modesty naturally would forbid us to
speak of the solo by Mil ford Hales, but
those who are b'tter judges than we
are. say he did most remarkably well,
and was the recipient of many flatter
ing comments. All agreed that with
the proper advantages, he bids fair to
become a shining mark in the musical
galaxy.
The Mystery Solved.
Sheriff MeHrlde, who has been
diligently at work on the case since
the robbery was committed several
weeks ago, has now the satisfaction of
having the guilty parties behind the
bars.
It will be remembered that the
house occupied by Mrs. Greeson and
Mrs. Chambers was entered at the
dead hour of midnight, both women
occupying the same room, but separate
beds, and while one of the robbers, as
it was then reported, holding Mrs.
Greeson while the other robbed Mrs,
Chambers of 7., which her husband
had sent her from Oklahoma.
As soon as Sheriff McBride learned
the circumstances in the case, he
immediately made up his mind as to
who were the guilty parties, but as no
positive evidence could be obtained,
no arrests was made, the sheriff keep-
ing posted as to the whereabouts of
the suspects. In the meantime John
Greeson left the city for Fremont. He
had not been gone but a few days
when the sheriff took Harvey Love
lady, the other suspect in charge, and
succeeded in gleaning the whole story
of the deed from him. He stated that
Greeson entered the house and secured
the money while he waited at the door,
and that they hid the money under the
sidewalk in the south part of the city,
and that Greeson got a' I the money
($75) but two dollars.
Greeson is a son-in-law of Mrs.
Chambers, knew that the money had
been sent her and knew the direct
spot to place his hand upon it, but
whon searched the next morning not a
cent could be found upon the person
of either Greeson or Lo'velady.
As soon as Lovelandy confessed the
sheriff notified the authorities at Fre
mont to arrest him, which was done,
and that officer went up to Fremont
Thursday and brought the prisoner
down Friday and he and his pal Love
lady are languishing behind the liars,
with good prospects of serving a term
in the penitentiary.
The prisoners were arraigned in
Judge Kroehler's court Saturday morn
ing on the charge of robbery. Each
one pleaded not guilty, and was reman
ded to jail to await their prelimnary
examination set for next Saturday.
Sheriff McBride in this, as in every
case h Undertakes, ney-er Jef, up until
he landed the robbers in jail, and
deserves great credit for his usual vi
liance and energy, as an oilicer.

The Story Considerably Magnified.
The story of a gang of smooth con
fldence men, who visited Omaha some
time since, and remained several weeks
in their efforts to 'take in" some par
ties to the tuqe of l0,00o or l.",000
on their get-rich-iuick proposition is
greatly rnagilied in that it refers to Mr.
T. K. Farmele, of this city. The
World-Herald is wholly responsible for
the story as it appeared in numerous
papers, and for perhaps a day or so did
created a little ripple in l'lattsmouth.
Hut those who knew Mr. l'armele's
shrewd business qualities were not for
one moment inclined to lielieve the
tale as it was told by that paper.
It wasseveral days before the World
Herald reporter "caught onto" the
scheme, that'a member of thegangap
peared in this city and made his prop
osition known to Mr. l'armele, who
was too shrewd to bite,' much less
take the cork under. When Mr. Con
lidance Man failed to get Mr. l'armele
interest in the sale of his mining stock
he remarked that he believed he could
dispose of it in Omaha, but was unac
quanted, and Insisted upon Mr. l'ar
mele going to that city with him and
introducing him to parties who would
be likely to invest in that sort of a
proposition. This Mr. l'armele finally
consented to do, all the time convinc
ed in his own mind that the pi-oposo-sition
appeared somewhat "llshy"
and would bear investigation. After
arriving at Omaha, Mr. l'armele ques
tioned1 Mr. Confidence Man farther,
and it was when lie was asked if did
not have $10,ooo to buy the mining
stock, that a good sized mouse made
its appearance and began to penetrate
the atmosphere around the particular
spot they were occupying. Mr. l'ar
mele replied that he had just two dol
lars with him. But when asked if lie
could not get the money, he replied
that could but would not, and imme
diately left the party. Mr. Parmele
hunted up Chief Donahue, told his
story, but ere the oHieers arrived at
the hotel where the gang were occu
pying the handsomest quarters in the
house, they had "Hew the coop" and got
out of town in less than an hour from
the time Mr. l'armele left them.
This is as near as Mr. l'armele came
to being "roped in" for $10,000, as some
of the papers would have it. The
World-Herald reporter approached Mr.
Parmele on the mattor, and because
that gentleman failed to accede to his
wishes for particulars,., the reporter
evidently fixed up the story tosuit him
self, and made Mr. Parmele appear in
the role of a gold brick victim, and in
as ridiculous plight as possible., Those
who know him, however, know that
Tom Parmele is not one the kind to be
swindled by such smooth guys.

A MAGNIFICENT AFFAIR
The P. E. O's Are Banqueted at the
Palatial Home of Mayor
Morgan.
That realization affords greater hap
piness than anticipation was most
clearly proven last night when the V.
K. O. society enjoyed the hospitality
of their gentlemen friends.
The entertainment was a return
party given by the hnsbandsand young
gentlemen who have been entertained
by the P. E. O. ladies, and was in the
form of a banquet; and did, without
doubt, out-rival any affair of this na
ture ever given in the city.
Mr. Frank Morgan kindly opened his
elegant home for this occasion, and a
more, suitable place could not have
been found. The guests were request
ed to be present at 7:."50 o'clock, and at
that hour everything was in readiness.
The table was spread through the
dining room, library and music room,
and when the guests forty-eight in
number entered, a glimpse of real
fairy-land was revealed.
The table was artistically decorated
with flowers, ferns and trailing vines
A large floral design in the shape of a
live pointed star, the emblem of the
order carried out in yellow and white,
the society colors, formed a most fit
ting center piece. The brilliantly
lighted rooms, the beautiful floral
decorations the sparkling cut glass and
silver, the elegant costumes of the
ladies, the bright and happy faces of
those present presented a picture
which will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it.
A nine course dinner was served,
and in point of excellence and dainti
ness in serving, was indeed fit for a
king.
A number of the ladies were called
upon for speeches, and responded in a
most gracious manner.
The health of the M. M's. (Married
Martyrs) both, real and prospective,
was proposed by Mrs. l'armele, and
the ladies, standing, drank from a
glass of clear, cold water, the toast
proposed.
MissSealp. vice .resident of the so

had extended, and expressed fur the
society the pleasure in being so
thoughtfully re-me inhered, so cordially
received, and so royally entertained.
At 11 o'clock tbe guests repaired
to the parlors, and before taking their
departure, spent an hour in music and
general conversation.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Charoberluin's
Cough Rcrrjcdy.
'When I had an attack of tin; grip
last winter (the second one) I act ually
cured myself with one bottle of Chain
IxTlain's Cough Kemedy," says Frank
W. Ferry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortvillc, N. V. "This is the honest
truth. 1 at times kept from couch
ing myself to pieces by taking a tea
spoonful of this remedy, and when the
couching 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. I had
no idea that it would or couid knock
out the grip, simply because I never
tried it for such a purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack
of coughing the remedy caused if, to
not only to be of late duration, but
the pains were far less severe, and I
had not used the contents of one bottle
before Mr. (Jrip had bid mc adieu."
