"NOT GUILTY"
So Say the Jury In the Barton
Murder Case.
The jury impaneled hi tin Parton
nmrilt't case, which cu to a t s
lust wi't'k at She ridun, Wyoming, !
tided that Mrs. Carton was not guilty
of the charge, ami the lady has la-en
set at liberty. When tin new of the
at-iiittal of her daughter reached the
aged mot her of the unforl unate lady
on Friday last, she was almost over
conn with joy. The part iculars in
this case are well known to mo. I of
the reailersof the Joiunal.
It will 1-e remeiiitere. that Miss
Agatha Stull married a young man
by the name of lUrlon, ami soon
after the marriak'e, throiiKh the
Influence of the young inan's father
ami others of lh family he refused to
live with her and left the country.
Reports dengatory to the character
of Mrs. Carton were circulated for the
the pur of making the community
l-elieve that the huskind was just i tied
ill leaving her. So preying; iihii the
1 1 i m I had these reports liecoiiie that
Mis. l'arton went to her father-in-law,
who, it seems, was the originator of
thest reports and demanded an
explanation. The father-in-law was
post master of the little town in which
they resided, and w hen sheapproached
him, he liecame very insulting; and
replied to Mrs. I 'art on that "he. could
prove every word he had said al-out
her." This so enraged the young lady
that she tired the fatal shot. A sMcial
dispatch from Cheyenne, Wyoming,
under date of J line l:, says:
"At Sheridan last night M rs. Agatha
Stull l'arton was aeiiittel of the
charge of murder. Sheshot and killed
her father-in-law last fall.
"The defense was emotional insan
ity. She will Im sent to the Nehraska
. insane asylum.
"The state attempted to show that
the murder was premeditated several
witnesses test ifying that Mrs. liar ton
had made threats upon the life of
Itarton and that several months Itcforc
the shooting she purchased a revolver
and said it was for the purpose of
killing l'arton. The defense pleaded
temporary insanity. The testimony
of physicians and experts was to the
effect that while suffering from severe
illness and laloring under domestic
ditlicultics, as she did. the defendant
would te apt to l and no douht was
temporarily insane at the time the
killing occurred.
"The case has attracted widespread
attention throughout northern Wyom
ing and western Nebraska, where the
Ha r tons and Stalls are well known.
The court room was crowded during
the trial, and last night the streets in
the vicinity of the courthouse were
tilled with people who were anxiously
waiting for a verdict."
Much interest was taken in the out
come of this case, as the Stull family
lias resided here for many years, and
much credit is due Hon. Matt (Serin;,
who made a special effort in Itehalf of
Mrs. Ha r ton. As soon as the Journal
' learned that this gentleman had Ihcii
employed on the defense, we were
ready to Iet our bottom dollar that
Mrs. Harton would never tie convicted.
From the Sheridan (Wyoming) Post.
The jury in the l'arton murder cas
brought in a verdict of "not guilty,
at seven o'clock this (Thursday) even
ing, after remaining out hut one hour
and forty minutes.
As soon as it was known that a ver
dict had leen reached the court room
rapidly tilled with spectators, eager to
hear the report. When the verdict
was read a great many in the audience
applauded vigorously, until stopped by-
Judge Stotts, who said if it was reieat
ed he would tine every offender for con
tempt of court.
Although Mrs. Agatha Harton has
been on a severe nervous strain for the
past week she was composed and con
trolled herself very well when it was
announced that she had trained her
liberty.
The verdict was no surprise to the
people, who would have been badly dis
appointed had any other verdict than
acquittal been brought in.
A Social Event.
Miss Stella Hoyd entertained a mini
ber of her friends at her home lxst Sat
urday evening, in honor of Miss Lilly
Martin, of San Jose. California. The
puests were furnished a Chestnut story
in blink. While Miss May Haird play
ed and sang several songs, each guest
was required to write their titles in
the blanks. In case this was correctly
done the guest had an excellent story,
and the mistakes in titles made the
results varied and amusing. The bal
ance of the evening wasspent in Hindi,
music and social conversation. At the
Droper hour refreshments were served
All present pronounce it one of tin
most enjoyable zvents of the season
Those who were present to enjoy the

Large Men.
There are si ven Messinger brothers
in Cass county who constitute the
original members of that, family in
NYhraska. They an all large men,
and all of t hem U-ing in town last
Saturday, vmih one suggested that
they each In weighed. After they
were eoralU d they pror-edcd to the

The average weight of these gentle
men is "ill pounds. They are appar-
ntly in the enjoyment of the Ijest of
health. They are old settlers and by
industry and ierseverence have ''laid
up" an abundance br the veritable
"rainy day." The largest one of these
brothers still follows the plow, and
can do as big days work as any of his
neighbors. There are no better citi
zens anywhere. They have numerous
children who have married and set
tled among them, and it is said when
one reaches FJght Mile (S rove precinct
it is imMssible to go in any direction
without reaching the home of a Mei-
singer Cass county is prouo or m is

may they live and prosper."
Serious Accident at Mynard.
A voting Mr. Cole, in company with
a young lady friend, attended a social
gathering near Mynard on Friday
night last. When they were ready to
return home the lady was assisted
into the buggy and was in the act of
reaching for the lines when the horses
became frightened and started to run.
The young lady was advised to jump
from the buggy, winch she did in
safety. The horses continued their
course in the direction of Mynard. It
was verv dark at the time and they
soon disappeared. A short time after
the mangled remains of the horses
and pieces of the bugvry were found
strewn along the Missouri Pacific
railroad track north 'of Mynard. From
all auoearances the horses had ran up
the track ami got tangled in the cat
tle iruards at one of the crossings,
when the south bound train came
along and ran into the outfit. It was
indeed a miraculous escape from death
for the young lady, and it is also
:i great wonder that she was not crip
pled in jumping from the vehicle.
Killed by Lightning.
Hoy, the twelve-year-old son of Mr.
(5. V. Pickwell residing; at Murdock,
was instantly killed by lightning on
Thursday night of last week, while
standing on the front poarch of the
family home. The youngster was
leaning on a bench holding out his
hands to catch hailstones that were
falling, when the fatal bolt struck
him. The fam ily, with the exception
of Mrs. Pickwell, were standing on the
porch, land was. also piled in a heap
on the lloor with the unfortunate lad.
Leta McDonald, who stood beside him,
was severely burned from the effects
of the bolt. The balance escaped in
jury. Improvements Commenced.
Several weeks ago The Journal men
tioned the fact that Heiscl & Son con
templated making extensive improve
ments on their mill in this city. The
work has been commenced, and when
completed will be one of the finest
mills in the state. A third story is
being added and a great deal of old
machinery is lieing replaced by that
of a more modern improvement.
Messrs. Heiscl & Son will expend sev
etal thousand dollars to bring their
mill up w ith the times, and our citi
zens, and the business men of the city
especially, should appreciate this fact
by patronizing home enterprise. Such
improvements are worthy of more
than ordinary note.
Other Improvements.
W. W. Coats has purchased the
Fitzgerald block and expects to renc
vale the same throughout; sewerage
is being placed under the Krug build
ing: the Cass County Hank is having
the proper sewerage placed under its
building, and the basement rooms w ill
be laid with concrete, the walls re

There are no more hospitable people
on earth than in Louisville, a.id we
confidently look for the most successful
reunion this year than has ever
been held in the history of the associa
tion. Louisville was never known to
do anything by halves.
Sound Business Principles.
There isa very strong sentiment in
this world concerning newspapers. The
people ex ect. the merchants to make
some profit on the goods they sell.
They expect lawyers and doctors to
collect, the usual customary fee for
their professional services, but the
moment they have dealings with a
newspaper, they expect a cut rate
figure and begin to hunt around to find
where it will be done the cheapest.
The newspaper business is legimate
and should lie conducted on as sound
business pi inciples as any other pro
fession. The men engaged are justly
entitled toas fair profit as the mer
chant, lawyer, or doctor. A partial
reason however, for this wrong
sentiment was the disposition of the
bygone newspaper men to cut and
slash prices regardlessof business prin
ciples. Th is class is fast disappearing
and the public should know it. News
papers are conducted today from, a
business point of view.
Wheat Gontinuesto Do Well.
The past week has been cool, with
moderate showers. The daily mean
temperature has averaged 4 degrees
below normal in eastern counties and
2 degrees below in western.
Showers occurred quite generally
during the last half of the week; the
amount of rainfall in most of the east
ern portion of the State ranged from
one- half an inch to an inch, but in
some cases it exceeded two inches.
Some of the showers were accompani
ed by hail, seriously injuring crops
iu limited areas.
Winter wheat continues to do well,
although most wheat fields are effect
ed by rust. Oats are beginning to
head, and in some instances with rath
er short straw. The condition of corn
has improved and cultivation has made
rapid progress, while some corn has
been planted during the week; all corn
large enough has been cultivated the
first time and the second cultivation
has commenced.- Alfalfa cutting lias
progressed rapidly and much of the first
crop is now in the stack; the crop is
rather a light one Grass in meadows
and pastures continues to grow well
and the hay crop promises to be large.
Potatoes are doing well. Strawbe rries
are a large crop.
More Low Rates.
The Hurlingioh will sell round trip
tickets as follows: San Francisco and
return $0.00; July 1 to 10. Los Angles
and return, $50.00: July 1 to 10. San

Friday and Saturday, August 7 and
8 the Dates this Year.
We learn from (ho Ledger that the
annual business meeting of the Old
Settlers' Association was held Satur
day afternoon, J unc III. ami that not
withstanding the small attendance
there was considerable interest mani
fested, and the business was transacted
in a manner that stemed satisfactory
to all except ing those who were called
uiwn to fill the offices. The following
were elected for the ensuing year.
President Win. H. Davis.
Vice-Presidents Win. Stotler and
W. H. Mark.
Treasurer Dr. A. E. Walker.
Secretary C. L. ( raves.
Directors J. A. Nicholson. C. F.
Morton, A. 11. Austin, S. C. Hath
away and F. H. McCarthy.
The dates selected for the 15th re
union are Friday and Saturday, August
7 and 8th.
The meeting of the old settlers of
Cass county have long since liecome
one of the fixed institutions of the
county, and are always looked forward
to witli great pleasure by the pioneers.
Union has always extended the right
hand or welcome, and these gatherings
have always proved successful in
numbers present as well as the
program arranged for the'event. And
the Journal believes the arrangements
this year will be no exception to the
rule. All hall to Union and her old
settlers' reunion.
. A Pointer to Merchants.
The editor of the Pine Ulult (Mo.)
Republican says: "When we were
publishing a paper at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
on the second tloor, a st ore was opened
in the room under our office. The
senior proprietor came up stairs and
contracted for three columns of space
for twelve months with locals each
issue and 2,500 dodgers each week.
The firm started on borrowed capital.
In less than two years it had money
enough to start two stores, one in
Sedalia and one in St. Louis. It
dissolved partnership, and each partner
took a field to himself. Ryron Nugent
was the partner who is now t he senior
member of the firm of H. Nugent &
Hro., the great St. Louis house. He
not only owns the store building and
ground but is erecting a modest little
cottage home which will cost $87,000.
We must add that some of the old
mossbacks who were in business in
Mt. Vernon before Ryron Nugent
ever saw the place are still grumbling
about dull trade and hard times."
Some people persist -that there is
nothing in advertising extensively, and
a few merchants in Plattsmouth claim
there is nothing in advertising at all.
The writer knows that the above is
true. During the years from 18i8 to
1873, he published a paper at Marion,
Williamson county', Illinois, and knew
when this store was opened in Mt.
Vernon, and he thought himself that
the firm had gone crazy. In those
days a double half column was some
thing great for a newspaper. Rut see
the result of this advertising, and to
day R. Nugent & Hro., are the most
extensive advertisers in St. Louis.
The merchant who fails to advertise
in this day and age is now considered
'daffy."
Almost a Serious Affair.
As Dave Amick and family were
coming to town last Saturday, they
came very nearly meeting with a most
serious accident near the old mill on
Chicago avenue. The team was not
the gentlest in the world and were
attached to a large wagon. . One of the
tugs become unhitched and the wagon
bumped against one of the horses, and
ere they had proceeded very far thus,
the tongue fell down and broke. Rut
by the timely aid of passers-by the
team was halted and the wife and
children rescued in safety. Evidently
it was not a team to Mr. Amick s
liking, as he sold it the same aftei noon.
Murdock Next.
At the close of the Sunday School
convention in Louisville last week,
the following officers were elected for
the ensiling year:
President C. C. Wescott.

CALLED TO HIS LONG HOME.
Death of J. H. Bauer, a Pioneer
Citizen of Cass County.
Mr. J. II. Ilauer, one of the pioneer
citizens of Cass county, died at his
home near Wabash, on Saturday, J line
20th, 1903. The deceased was well
known to many of the old settlers of
the county, and was highly respected
by all who knew him.
The funeral occurred on Monday
following and was largely attended.
The remains were conveyed from the
home to the (Jlendale M. E. church
west of Louisville, where Rev. II. S.
(Jeotz of the German M. E. church
conducted the. services, and preached
a most excellent sermon, the subject
being the "uncertainty of life," and
which was especially adapted to
this solemn occasion; after which
interment was made in the Wabash
cemetery.
The deceased was born in Germany,
(Hesse-Darmstadt,) October 22,
came to America and settled at Ilam
berg, l'enn., in 18.V5: in 1&T7 he re
moved to near Louisville, Cass county,
Nebraska, where lie lived until 18H0.
He then removed to his late home
near "Wabash where he lived until
death called him from this world at
the age of 73 years, 8 months and 'IS
days.
The deceased was married to Mar
garet Uerger in 1800. To this union
was born two children, one of whom
died in infancy, and the other survives
his father. The faithful wife and
mother died August 27, 18S. The
deceased leaves one son, four grand
children and two sisters to mourn his
death.
Among those from a distance who
attended the funeral were John Hauer
and wife, and George Bauer and wife
of Lincoln, nephews of the deceased,
and Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Schlater of
Plattsmouth, old friends and former
neighlxjrs of the family, and also Mr.
and Mrs. T. Peterson of this city.
The casket containing the remains
was wreathed in an abundance of
most beautiful flowers, brought from
Lincoln by the Messrs. Uauer, as a
tribute to their dear departed uncle.
The Add Was There All K-9ht.
A minister down in Kansas found his
congregation too poor to purchase
hymn books, and lieing offered the
same ltooks free by a patent medicine
concern, provided they be allowed to
insert their advertisements, he order
ed three dozen for his congregation.
He was highly elated upon receiv
ing them to find no ads therein. The
next Sunday he distributed the books,
telling of his good fortune and request
ing that they sing hymn No. 120. His
chagrin may be imagined when theeon
gregation sang as follows:

"A Race for a Million."
The aliove named play, put on :it
flu Parinele theatre, Monday night
by home talent , was not , attended by
as large an audience as it really de
served. While if was ex peeled I hat "A
llace for a Million" would be not hing
heavy, the audience seemed lo enjoy
its prodfetion very much. "Ihidley
Carlton," the character assumed by
W. K. I.utler, was remaiKably well
given, as was also t batof "Col. P. lake"
by Emmons Hichey. L. 1. Iliatt as
'Harry Hodman" was good, and dem
onstrated that l)enny was no "slouch"
on the stage. Miss Nellie Hopping,
as "Synthia" wife of Dudley," was
excellent, and in the part she played,
showed that she was no stranger le
fore the fool lights Miss Margaret
Warren in the character of "Hose,
daughter of Dudley," done remark
ably well. Take it all iu all, they all
did well, and no doubt lietter than
was really expected. The quartet,
composed of Misses Marshall and
Street and Messrs. Jlutler and While,
although no strangers to a Platts
mouth audience, was highly enjoyed.
They are all fine vocalists and can
hold an audience spc'l hound on any
occasion. Plattsmouth is proud of
this quartet and we all have reason to
be. liilly llutler and Miss Warren
sang solos and weregreatlyapplauded.
Tor home talent they all deserve credit
for their efforts, and all the complaint
The Journal has to register is that
t here should have been a larger at
tendance, in fact the theatre should
have leen filled to its utmost ca-
pacity.
