It is quite probable that the Burling ton telephone system which has proved so snccessful between Omaha and Lin coln will be extended to Plattsmouth, Pacific Junction and other points along the B. & M. Street Commissioner Hansen has had a force at work on north Fourth street the past week, which makes things look quite different on that street. And the good work will still continue on other streets, also. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brantner have removed to Murray, where they will take charge of the hotel owned and formerly run by Mrs. Brantner. Bill will make a good landlord, being naturally a genial wholesouled gentle man.

A Former Plattsmouth Girl Sues for $10,000 Damages. The Omaha World-Herald of last Saturday contained the following: "Jennie Carstens, a dining room girl at the Drlmonico hotel in South Oma ha has brought suit in the district court against Ole B. Ackerly, a hog drover in the stock yards, for $10,000 damages for the alleged betrayal of her affect ions. "The girl sets forth in her petition, that she kept company with Ackerly for a year, and was engaged to be mar ried to him. She says she trusted to his honor and to his promise with dis astrous consequences, and that then Ackerly refused to keep his promise. "Mrs. Mullen, the proprietress of the hotel, discovering the girl's health to be very poor, befriended her, it is sta ted by W. Ii. Patrick of South Omaha, who is the girl's attorney, and did ev erything in her power to nurse her back to health. Her condition was, for a time, very serious, but it is thought that she is now on the highway to re covery. "Miss Carstens has worked at the hotel for the greater portion of two years, and is given a good reputation by Mrs. Mullen. Her father is a farm er, living near Blair." Miss Carstens formerly resided in this city, and is well known in the vi cinity. She always bore an excellent reputation, and those who know her so well believe she has been greatly imposed upon, and that her betrayer should be made to suffer the conse quences generally meted out to such dastardly scoundrels. An Undesirable Citizen. There is a man not a thousand miles from here who is so constituted that he is never content unless he isstirring up a muss among his neighbors. Any old thing serves as an excuse to make a roar. Then if some one turns a mod ern rapid fire gun upon this antiquated old muzzle loader and shells some of the moss off of him lie wants to get in to court and air his little grievances. He has not the manhood to settle his disputes in a manly way but tries to hide behind the law, a power made to protect the weak against the strong, admitting his impotency. We would like to have an X-ray photoof the head of such a man. If the rays could penetrate the mossy shell there would be inthe interior of the "house of too much trouble," suits to be pushed at the state's expense, injunctions, petitions and howls, with wheels and cogs enough to run the machine. Reads Like a Romance. A special to the World- Herald from Nebraska City, under date of July 27, says: "George Cam pbell left the home of his parents in this city over twenty- five years ago and since then his parents have not heard from him. This morning he returned and going to the old home, walked in upon his mother, who was at work in the kitchen. She at once recognized him and the meeting was a pathetic one for she had almost given him up as dead. The father could not for a time recognize the tall gray haired man as his son who had gone away a quarter of a century ago. The son had been in California all of these years where he had done well, and came home to com fort the aged couple." Fine Peaches. The man, or set of men who think there are no peaches raised in Cass county this year, are "away off" on their calculations. As the Journal representative was wending his way up Third street, Monday evening last, our old friend, W. 1). Jones hailed us, and we crossed over to his home, and there beheld a sight worth looking at several trees loaded down with the handsomest, juciest and finest flavored peaches we have tasted in lo, these many years. Mr. Jones loaded the writer up with a lot, and the Journal family can fully testify to all we have said, and join us in thanking Mr. Jones for the rich treat. Remember the Date. Union will have her old settlers' re union, Louisville the old soldiers' re uion, and Plattsmouth will have one big week. On Monday, August 17, is the date for the commencement of the Sarpy-Cass counties teachers' insti tute, which will be in session the en tire week. Then the biggest event of the season democratic county conven tionmeets on Saturday of the some week. Ion't forget the date. To Cure A Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The suicide record for the month of July perhaps surpasses that of any city in Nebraska. Up to date there has been four successful suicides and one serious attempt. The latest one on record is that of a young man named Otto Uhlik, aged about twenty-one years, who ended his earthly career by the "Hough on Rats" process which he took last Saturday night. Young Uhlik was a cigarmaker and had formerly been in the employ of J u lius Pepperberg, of this city, but for two weeks previous to the time of the suicide he had been in Omaha. Sat urday afternoon he returned to this city and while somewhat under the in fluence of liquor, he purchased a lu cent box of "Rough on Rats" at one of our drugstores. After reach the home of his parents, in the west part of the city, he proceeded to the well, and, after drawing a bucket of water, placed the poisonous compound in a dipper of water and then drank the contents. He then entered the house, told his mother what he had done, and at the same time displayed the empty box. He immediately became deathly sick, with symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and died Sunday morning after hours of most intense suffering. Several dif ferent causes for the act are advanced, but the most probable one seems to an unfortunate love affair. No inquest was held over the re mains,as there seemed to be no aoubt as to the cause of the young man's death. The funeral occurred on last Tues day morning at nine o'clock from the family residence under the auspices of the Omaha and Plattsmouth cigar makers unions the deceased having been a member of the former organiza tion. After brief services the remains were conveyed to the Oak Hill ceme tery for interment, the following gen tlemen acting as pall-bearers: A. J. Libershal, Tom Jeffers.Antone Kanka, Howard Freet, Chris Jensen and Chas. Wilken. Happy Little Souls. Friday, July 24th. 1908, was the fifth birthday of Master Robert Walling, and Mr. and Mrs. Walling conceived the plan of inviting in a number of little folks of the city to assist the lit tle fellow in celebrating the event. Consequently a number of invitations wese sent out, all of which were re sponded to. To say that it was a mer ry gathering of little folks, expresses it very mildly. The afternoon was spent in various ways of amusement to the happy little souls, and when six o'clock arrived, refreshments consist ing of ice cream, cake, fruits and oth er delicacies, were spread out upon the lawn. When they were seated around the table it was a pleasure to note the little ones in their enjoyment of good things set before them. May Robert li ve to enjoy many more similar events. The Way to Help Matters. There is always a few chronic kick ers in a town. Some are ready to find fault with everybody, some kick their home paper. They are generally the fellows that believe in doing business on the ground-hog style. They gene rally have nothing good for their town and always complaining about hard times, but never stop to ask themsel v es the question; "what can I do to make a change in the matter?" The town is just what you make it. So get out of the I old rut and boldly come' to the front and help make Plattsmouth the best town in southeastern Nebraska.

County Superintendent Wortman. The Nebraska Teacher in its write up recently of county superintendents of the state, refers to Mr. C. S. Wort man, of this city, as follows: "C. S. Wortman, of Cass county, re ceived his education in Nebraska, Cass county rural schools, Ashland high school, state normal and state univer sity. He is a graduate of the univer sity college of law. His six years' teaching has been, two years in a coun try school, two years in a college school and two years as superintendent of the Hartington schools. He was recently appointed to his present position by the county commissioners, Superin tendent Smith having resigned to en gage in other business." The Teacher could have just as well added that Prof. Wortman is giving general satisfaction, and for the. very efficient and faithful manner in which he is performing his duties, each day adds to his popularity; all this might have been said jwithout varying one iota from the gospel truth. A Solemn Service. A solemn Requiem High Mass for the repose of the soul of Pope Leo, XIII, was celebrated by Rev. Father Ber nard, of St. John's Catholic church Tuesday morqing. Miss Marista Cag ney presided at the organ, and the full choir in attendance sang the solemn Gregorian Mass for the dead.. The service was very solemn throughout, the altar being draped in black. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persis tent and unmerciful torture has per haps never been equaled. Joe Golo bick of Colusa, Calif., writes, "For 15 years, I endured insufferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble.

One hundred K. of P.'sof Omaha, to gether with their wives, arrived in this city Monday evening to pay a friendly social visit to the Platts mouth knights. It is unnecessary to remark that the visitors were most roy ally entertained, the members of the lodge doing all in their power to make their visit a most pleasant one. Waterman hall was beautifully de corated for the occasion, - with the col ors of the order. Chancellor Com mander T. L. Tidd, in a few very ap propriate remarks, welcomed the vis itors. Addresses were also delivered by Messrs. Britt, of Omaha, Gass, of Bellevue, and Hon. Matthew Gering, of this city. The visitors were treated, to some excellent music by Misses Ed na Marshall, Clara Street, Edith Mar tin, Louise Smith and Mr. E. H. Wes cott, and in return the home peopie enjoyed the delightful music by the Mandolin club which accompanied the visitors. The refreshments were served by sis ters and daughters of members to the number of twenty. The reception committee consisted of A. L. Tidd, Fred Ebinger, F. A. Murphy, Dr. Marshall, Matthew Ger ing and Geo. M. Spurlock. The visitors returned to Omaha at 11 o'clock, no doubt feeling that they were well paid for their visit with their Plattsmouth biet'iren. Direct From the Shoulder. Here is a little old straight from the shoulder talk about matters lying near to our-heart. There seems to be a feeling among business men that a newspaper has no business to make money. Why not? It is the most exacting business in the world, the most trying in every way. It means long hours and the greatest care in its conduct. The newspaper has the entire public to deal with. It is criticised on all occasions. It has to deal with all the cranks in the com munity, and to do this successfully requires judgment and patience. It has power and that power, to the credit of journalism, is nearly always wielded for the public good No question of vital concern to the home people fails to find a strong support from the home newspaper and this too without enumeration. ' The publisher spends his money to further these projects and the community never gives a thought to the matter of cost to him. It is not paid out of the public pocket. Every community needs good newspapers and the way to have them is to assist in making the business profitable. The newspaper wants every concern to prosper. Why should not this good will be mutual. To make profit the the newspapers must have a living rate for the paper and its advertising space. No Pity Shown. "For years fate was after me con tinuously," writes F. A. Gulledge, Ver bena, Ala. "I had a terrible case of Piles causing 24 tumors. When all failed. Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me. Equally good for Burns and all aches aud pains. Only 2oc. at F. G. Fricke & Co., Druggists.

Our Fall Goods are arriving daily and it is quite an effort to find room for such a large assortment. We still have some of those $5.00 to $10.00 suits left. Also some of those wide rim field hats. -MORGAN- To Cure a Cold in One Bay Crop Conditions. The past week has been warm and dry. The mean daily temperature has averaged 1 degree above the normal. The rainfall was confined to scattered showers, generally amounting to less than a quarter of an inch. The past week has been an excellent one for haying, harvesting, and thrash ing. Winter wheat is about all cut and the oat harvest is well advanced; thrashing of winter wheat is well advanced; thrashing of winter wheat has progressed rapidly in southeastern counties and is just beginning in western; the yields reported continue disappointing and are less than were generally expected. The condition of spring wheat in northern counties indicate that in many counties the crop will be below average in yield. The few oats thrashed in the south eastern counties indicate a fair to good crop, and prospects are generally excellent. Corn has grown rapidly and the early planted is now generally in tassel; in southeastern counties rain is needed for corn and pastures. Hay ing is general and the crop is abundant. The second crop of alfalfa is being cut, with a fair to good yield. Potatoes have been injured somewhat by the dry weather and the crop is not as good as seemed probable earlier in the season. Omaha Commercial College. Rohrbough Bros., proprietors of the Omaha Commercial College of Omaha, Neb., have recently publ'shed a series of elegantly engraved half tone cu ts, on fine paper 25x36 inches, showing the different phases of student life as exemplified at this institution. It is handsomely printed and is a most inter esting picture to examine. They also publish a "rod of positions," one of the most unique advertisements ever got ten out by a college. ' It answers the question, "Do you secure positions for 30ur students?" These with a cata logue, will to sent free to any address.

If this remedy will do what itls claimed for it, we shall without doubt welcome in it the greatest discovery of this aire, although we believe that prevention is better than a cure.
