A (jout 10 o'clock Monday night the jury decided that William Nhepard was not guilty of the charge of burg larly as charged In the indictment. The jury was out only alout one hour. It will lie rcmcmU'red that Shepard was charged w ith breaking into the M. I. deot at Weeping Water several mouths since.

Misses Elizabeth and Hazel Iovey presided at the candy stand, and from the crod of young men hanging around that particular part of the hall most of the time, one who was there says it is Oi wonder they were so siu.-ce.ssfu! in disposing of their supply of 'sweets."

I'mX Anna KcNabb and Her Dog. Miss Anna McNabh who pays the part of the dainty servant girl in the Nixon & Zimmerman's production of "Miss Mob White" this year, is a western girl, hailing from a little town in Kansas, where the mail trains dot not stop. Miss McNabb's fondest re membrances of her home is her pet dog "post" who was employed as mail carrier by the town, taking the sack of mail to the post oMce from the plat form on which it was thrown from the train. At first the dog was taught to help Miss McNabh by taking hold of one end of the bag, but afterwards the dog was taught to bring in the big bag alone. MissMeNabb stated that as soon as the dog heard the mail train whistle, he never mistook an ex press or freight for that, be would hurry down to the station to wait for the arrival of the mail, wagging his tail in the most reassuring manner until the mail clerk thew the bag off, when he would pick it up very care fully by the middle, so that neither end dropHd on the ground, and car ried it safely to the post ollice. When Miss McNabh left her home town some years ago, "Post," as they called the animal, was live years old and about two and one-half feet high. Every one in the town knew him and spoke to him as he trotted through the streets and "Post" would return the salutation with a cordial wag of his tail. Strangers, however, "Post" greeted with a lift of his shaggy eye brows and a sniff of suspicion, and kept his weather eye on their move ments, seeming to fear that the wel fare of the town was in some manner his personal responsibility. "Sour Grapes-" Some of the German voters are try ing to figure out the cause of the de feat of all of their representatives on the ticket when the other fellows went in under llying colors. To figure out all the "whys" and "wherefores" i n politics is one of the impossibilities. Plattsmouth News. Yes,and the Irish would like to know why their candidate was prohibited from a chance to take a seat at the pie county. Weeping Water Republican. Not so at all. The two editors above quoted have been feasting on "sour grapes." Nationality cuts no ice in county elections in Cass county. How much different would it have been had the entire republican ticket, which the News and Republican supported, have been elected. If theCourier edi tor w as to go on the war path for a Dutchman he would never pass up Henry Uoeek, and if Sheriff McBride isn't Irish he was branded wrong in infancy. Louisville Courier. In Memoriam. Mrs. Catharine McEntee, a highly and respected lady of Plattsmouth, crossed o'er death's dark river Saturday morn ing, the 7th of November, 1903. For many months she stood by the sullen stream and longed to cross, yet the dread messenger would not come. Hut at last a whisper steals from heaven and death's barque seemed to her like a beautiful bird with wings far and wide outspread upon the even ing air. Worn and tired she has gone from this sharp, cold world. Her poor nervous hands folded and at rest. Her lips wan and cold and on her forehead are deep furrows which pain had cut. Now the weary toil is o'er. KoUl thy arms .li-niss thy hreast. Sing t a dreamiest rest. Life shall claim thee never more. Your friend, Conrad Sciilatek. Suit for $10,000 Damages. William 11. Stull, as administrator of the estate of William R. Webb, de ceased, has instituted suit in the dis trict court of Mills county, Iowa, against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad company, in which he asks 10,000 damages. On Febru ary 17 last Webb came to his death as a result of a fall from the company's bridge over the Missouri river at this point, then in construction. He step ped upon a loose plank and fell to the ice below, a distance of about seventy-tive feet, sustaining injuries from which he died Ave hours later. The deceased left a wife and three small children. Dr. Frank L. Cummins, dentist. Oilice with Dr. E. D. Cummins. A FEW STOLEN SMILES. Purloined, Penciled and Prepared for the Journal Readers. (Jood corn buskers can cam 83.00 a day and keep In Nebraska. Marrying in haste is no worse than any other kind of marrying. Most people are good nurses when it comes to nursing animosity. Somehow, the frost and the pump kin have been getting together. According to the majority, Ann was eighteen. Mut she in older now. The trouble with mt people is that their records already are too low. Men are too much inclined toaccept a pretty woman at her face value. In business, as in politics, the shots that hit are the shots that count. Many a widow marries a second hus band in order to get even with the sex. Did you ever notice how bad the lit tle boy's cough gets aboutschool time? Oh! they are wise who advertise In winter, spring and fall, lint wiser yet are they, you bet. Who never let up at all. People who yearn for the return of old fashions should consider the hoop skirt. 'When you come to figure it up, there are really only a few of us who are perfect. When a woman marries, she not on ly takes a man's name but everything else he has. Some men are so small that they must hope to slip into heaven without being seen. Most every person one meets pre dicts that we are going to have "some weather now." "Tilings are not always what they seem." And to this may Im added: Full uiany a woman's bust Unot As plump as it Is padded. When you hear a man speak of a baby as "it" you can safely bet that he's a bachelor. It is a cinch that every man who is bitten by a dog gets mad, whether the dog is mad or not. The only excuse for the advance in the price of coal is that Uncle Baer wants the money. When a woman has a new diamond ring, she can't help it if her nose does itch all the time. Take hope. They say that when the girl finds fault with your neckties she is getting interested in you. "What," asks a magazine writer, "would life be without women?" Well, for one thing, it would be cheaper. "You hold her hand and she holds jour's. And that's a very good sign She'll be your tootsey wootsey. In the good old winter time." Mary is 24 and Mary Is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. now old is Ann? Here is the answer that comes from Murray. Can anybody beat It? "When Mary was a pretty girl her age was just six teen; out Ann was then a kid of eight, so very young and green. Mary now has older grown, her age is twenty four. And Ann has reached that pret ty age that Mary was before. TooV the Wrong Train. Mrs. Armstrong came to the depot in a hurry and seeing a train just com ing in, boarded it without enquiring about its destination. When the train pulled out of the station the conduc tor informed her that she took the wrong train and would have to leave it at the next station. The poor lady had to wait for hours all alone, dur ing a dark night, and suffered greatly. This is not the only case where people suffer on account of negligence. In place of Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, the best blood purifier and stomach tonic, they accepted poor imitations and instead of the road to health they take the road to misery. Triner's Bitter Wine, as it is common ly, called consists of pure California grape-wine and selected herbs, and has a prompt effect in all disorders of the stomach and of the blood. For pale, sickly ladies it is of the greatest value, as it strengthens the stomach to accept and digest all food and to con vert it in righ blood. At drug stores or direct from the manufacturer, Jos. Triner, 799, South Ashland Ave., Chi cago, 111. How Is This for Corn? A. G. Mickle, living two miles south of Plattsmouth, brought to this office Friday a sample ear of corn measuring fifteen inches in length, and as sound as a silver dollar. Mr. Mickle says he has ten acres of this kind of corn that will average 80 bushels to the acre. This doesn't look much like a corn failure in Cass county for another year, at least. Dizzy?
