The carriers now recciye t ,no a year, out of which they must provide a team of hrss and wapon and care for the team. Kmites In this county are from twenty live to thirty miles, ami over roads t hat most of th year are usually hal and frequently worse than had. Tin work is hard ami exacting. At this time of I tie year lliev are subjected to much exposure, ami it would seem as a mat t.T ol justice that they ileserved as pood pay as t he ci I y carriers, who re-c-ive from isTo to t'.'oo per year ami en counter fewer hardships.

With the extension of the seiv ice there should he rcasoriahle com pensation for the carriers. They he pan their work as an experiment, ami I heir salary was lixed arhitrarily at a very low tiure in comparison with the salaries paid in general for government service. In thiscounty they are doimr their work fathfully and well, and the man who covers a thirty mile route six davs in the week, rain or shine, should certainly Ik paid as much as a government clerk who never works more than cipht hours a day and has t flirty days vacation credit every year. The KupKa Case. A sulscriler over in the west part of the county, whoseemstohe very much interested, pro.xunds this question: "What h.is Income of the Kupka case?"' The Journal will endeavor to pive him the desired information. Carey S. Polk has riled his answer in I lie famous case, w hich some people said last fall was campaign buncombe, lie admits that Krnest Kupka died seized and possessed of the 'northwest quarter of section eleven, township eleven, raiik'e ten," ami "some promis sory notes:" that an instrument in the tJerman Ianiruape, purpoitini.' to he the Will of said deceased was offered for prohate in the county court: that de fendant (Polk) purchased and took from plaintiffs. Kupke ami Say re, an assignment and conveyance of all their interest in said estate and thereafter as such assignee did contest the pro late of said Will which wasdisallowcd: that thisdefendant did sell said real es tate to Herman Schmidt and has taketi a mortpape hack on same and other land for 14,ooo, etc., and then denies other allegations, etc., of petition. If Mr. Polk explained the situation fully to the Kentucky people when this deal was made hecertainlycaupht t wo of the bippest "suckers" in the Old Kentucky state. 1'ishinp was pood alonp the Ohio last summer. He pot about :I3.too for a consideration of rl.oK',the land alove described and 'some notes." Some people, if their associations are of the ripht kind, can encase in many deals that others can not, and this is one of them. Mr. Polk otter as an element of chance to lose his 1.0thin making the deal that another Will mipht turn up and then he would lose. o the invest ment was a sort of a pamble, was it? However, he does not say anythinp in his answer aout Iveinp the attorney who tiled the petition for St my in the county court, for the probate of the Will he afterwards successfully con tested. From the standpoint of profit it was an excellent deal. Stolen Affections Come High. Vor several weeks rumors of asensa t ional nature have been floating around about Murray and immediate vicinity, so when William Smith Hoines riled his suit in thedistrict court a few days since apainst John U . formally for $r.7. a few claimed to "be on -vime others seemed greatly surprised at the possibility of such a thinp. In his pe tition. Heines alleges that his wife ami Connally have been unduly Intimate for several months past, and lv reason of such intimacy his wife's affections have tteen turned against him. and his home made desolate and irloomy where happiness once reigned supreme. For these and other reasons f uilv set forth in his petition Heines thinks that the defendant ouht to pay him the sum of I..7ix and cots ( suit. The interested parties are quite prominent in the southern part of the count v 'ainl Mrs. Heines is the mother of three children.

Attorney (Jeneral Prout has tiled claim to an estate in thiscounty left, by John K inir, laf elece;ised. The property in uest ion is valued atall the way from .".nno to s.oimi. The alleira t ion is made that Kinjf died leaimr no near kindred surviving tiim, and by reason of this fact the property le gally Iwlonjrs to the state. Kiny dietl last April, and at the time of his demise interested parties believ ed, and some of them are yet lirm in the I m 1 1-r that he left a will, but of course the contents of the lost docu ment cannot Ik. ascertained. Some t ime since Thos. Akeson, administra tor of the estate, wasordercd by Judye 1 toiler I ass to make a riirid search of the residence, and if ossible locate the lost will. Tin premises was thor oughly searched, and the task finally abandoned as entirely useless. Originally there were four claimants to the property Paniel W. McCurdy. Lucinda Jane Frwin. Francis M. and Ueorirell. K iiitr. McCurdy claims that in January, lv7, he entered into an agreement with Kintr whereby he and his family were to reside upon the farm and to perform all labor about the pre mises, the deceased atfreeintr to furnish one-half of the table provisions, fann ing utensils, stock and such other arti cles as were needed upon the place. McCurdy lived on the farm up to the date of Kind's death, and now comes liefore the court, claiming that there is about $2,410 due him from the estate because of the alleged non-compliance of the agreement on the part of the deceased. Lucinda J. Frwin c airns to be the only legal heir in the case, contending that she is a stepdaughter of King that she resided at his home from child hood uniil her marriage. She also al leges that the deceased made a will some ten vears prior to his death, nam ing her as" sole heir to all his property, real and personal; and further claims that the will, a large numlior of prom issory notes and a considerable sum of money disappeared from the home about the time of King's death. The nearest kin of all the claimants seems to beCeorge P.. King, an uncle, and Francis M. King, a cousin, who base their claimstora slice each of the estate on these facts. A hearing or these claims will Ik held before Judge Douglass today, (Thursday) and the final outcome of the case is watched bv many w ho have no claim upon the estate whatever, feeling, no doubt, that it is simply a general scramble for the dead man's money, and that perhaps the state has as good right to the property as any of theotherclaimants. Election of Officers. At the recent meeting of McConihie Post, r. A. li , the following ollicers were elected for the ensuing year: Commander K. W. Hyers. S. V. C. J. W.Thomas. J. V.

Conductor Mrs. Thrasher, liuard Mrs. Hickson. Delegate to State Kncampment Mrs. Podge. A Close Call for Wash. On Friday last while removing some young pigs from a pen. Wash Young narrowly escaped from being killed by the mother hog. She made a vicious attack upon him. and before he could escape had planted her sharp teeth into the tleshy part of Wash's leg. Not having anything in reach with which todefendhimself.it looked for a few moments like a case of life or death, vvitn rh eh.-inees in favor of death. Almost entirely exhausted from the los of blood ami pain Mr. Young came very near falling underneath the feet of the infuriated animal, when a neigh bor arrived, and by dint or hard work rescued him from his perilous position. One of Mr. Young's lower limbs was badly lacerated, but he was fortunate to escape with no worse injuries. Two Watches Found.

Anoth'T old citieu answered the deal h summons in t his city on Friday morning, PecemJcr 11th, 1 '..' 5. Mr. Ibuhe had been suffering from a severe st roke of paralysis, which effected his entire right side, and but a few hours later he sulTcred another. stroke. Since which time his family entertained but little Iiojk for his recovery. Mr. Ibiche was born in Philadelphia, Pa., March 7th, IS.Im, coming to Ne braska twenty years later he home steaded land near Cedar Creek, in ls.V, where he resided up to two years ago, when he retired from farming and re moved to thiscity. Ilesides a widow he leaves eleven children, as follows: Mrs. John Lau tenslauger, Mrs. H. Zimmerman and Mrs. J. Hagman, or Palmer, Neb.; Mrs. F. Hewett, of Oskaloosa, Iowa; Mrs. ( leorgi Stadier and M rs. K. Hand, of Cedar Creek: Mrs. Til lie Jardine, of (ireenwood; Mrs. Ida Urodie, of Fre mont; Mrs. J. II. McMaken, John and Frank ISuche, of this city. The funeral occurred Sunday from the family residence on Lincoln ave nue, Rev. II. Itarkman, of St. Paul's church, conducting the services. The deceased wasa highly respected citizen, well known to many of the older peo ple of the city and county, consequent ly the funeral was very largely attend ed. Came Near Freezing to Death. Antone Jerousky, an employee of the shops came very near winding up his earthly career on Saturday night last. Ami had no' his almost lifeless form been discovered by Louis Mittlemike. near the old ice house on Washington aveniK as soon as be did he would no doubt have frozen to death in another half hour. Mittlemike summoned Claus Paetel and a young man named Scott, who took Jerousky to his home, where they worked with him for some t ime and finally restored him to con sciousness. When he came to him self Jerousky could give no account of his condition or how he came to the place where he was discovered. Kar lier in the evening John Raetel dis covered him lying on the ground near the Turner Hall, and assisted him to his feet and helped him to getasfaras Ileisel's mill, where beseemed to be able to walk all right. He certainly circled around the block and fell where he was rescued from freezing to death. Some entertain the theory that Jer ousky was "doped," but as he was not roblx'd of anything that idea is ex ploded. However, he is a man that was never known to drink to excess. Maccabees Organize. For several days Oliver Rouse, de puty state commander has been in the city in an effort to establish a local lent of Maccabees here and succeeded to the extent that a tent consisting or about twenty members was duly in stituted on Saturday night last, and now Plattsmouth can boast of another fraternal and benellciary order along with its already numerous societies of this character. State Commander Os trom and about twenty members of the order came down from Omaha to assist in the work. After the initia tory services the follow ing ollicers were elected for the ensuing six months: Post Commander W. L. Pickett. Commander F. R. Rallance. Lieut. Commander A. H. Hager. Record Keeper Ralph White. Finance Keeper (leo. Pearson. Chaplain Frank II Smith. Physician Dr. J S. Livingston. Master-at-Arms John Kearn. First Sargeant tins Rhode. Second Sargeant Dick Hazelwood. Picket John Commons. The order starts out under very flat tering prospects and will in "time greatly increase in membership. It is a fraternal and beneficiary society with insurance features and fraternal bear ings equal to any. Burlington Wrecks. It seems that the Burlington has been having its share of bad luck the past week. Sunday morning a passen ger train, west bound, was wrecked near Albia, Iowa. Seven or eight passengers were killed, many others injured and several coaches burned. No. 1, the Denver Express, due here between live and six o'clock in the morning, turned over on Malvern hill, on Tuesday morning, and killed the engineer, but the passengers es caped with but few bruises. Frank Knox, the unfortunate engineer, is an olJ-timeron the P.urlington, and was quite popular with all railroad em ployees that knew him. Christmas Gifts for Absent Friends. Don't wear your brain to a frazzle in an attempt to decide on a Christmas present to send to your absent friend. Don't ruin your eyes over bead work, hemstitched handkerchiefs or those Hop-over collars, w hen you can send the Journal a whole year for only one dol lar. It would he a present every week in the year, and just think of the let ter writing that it would save you, telling the news every week. All you would have to write about would be those little matters of gossip that we are afraid to publish for fear of getting licked or shot. Don't you think it's a good idea? Of Interest to Stockmen. Death of cattle from eating corn stalks may be prevented by giving one pint of salt containing three table spoonfuls of terpentine. This should be dissolved in three pints of of warm water and given in a drenching bottle. Even after the animal is down and en able to walk, it can be relieved in thirty minutes and in the end permanently cured. Aftergivinga good drench rub one-half pint of turpentine on the ani mal just behind the shoulders on both sides and then nlong the neck veins from the jaw to the brisket. This will promptly relax the nervous system. The salt will immediately penetrate the dry corn busks in the stomach while "the turpentine entering the blood will counteract the nerve trouble produced by the husks there. It will pay stockmen and farmers generally to paste this in their hats to refer to when occasion demands. "Out neil," the favorite cigar. A Main's 8 I You can hunt the lU (.ill!

Only a few more days till leap year. Perhaps we speak of them as "bounc ing babies" because so many come to rubber." The hens are layinjr off not oft and ctftrs are classed with coal and oth er luxuries. The hubby, as well as the wife, is casting his eyes about for Chirtmas presents for the children. Sinn f the times the usual ante Christmas increase in the attendance at the Sunday schools is observed. Taking it for granted that Mary was twice as old as Ann, how many women in Plattsmouth are not afraid of a moused If a young man lias money to burn, it looks like it ought to be an easy mat ter to induce some girl to "strike a match." Oh. dUl you read the message, Or did you skip that pujrt To await until it's drauiai ized And see it on the stafre? For the Lord's sake don't locate in Canada. A judge up there has ruled that a husband is responsible for what his wife says. Prominent headlines in the Omaha liee last week declared: "Hungarian Diet is Xoiscy." Then their diet must consist of beans. A man really never fully appreciates the value of a kind, loving w ife until he gets up these cold, cheerless morn ings to make the tires. This is the season of the year when the wide-awake business man does considerable talking through the col umns of his local paper. There is very little change in the re curring Christmas seasons. In fact there is the same old shortage of change among most of us. A hair-tonic manufacturer says that bald men have good heads for business. Evidently that accounts for so many good business men in Plattsmouth. An unmarried man perhaps may think that the greatest thing in the world is love, but the battle-scared veteran of matrimony thinks it's peace. We are told that burnt wood is pop ular for Christmas gifts. However, those who contemplate sending us such presents need not go to the trouble of sawing and burning. In the cord will answer, thanks. The practice of young girls and boy congregating in the postorrice lobby to do a little "sparking" in the evening should cease. It is disgusting; and then the parents of these young ladies are ignorant of the fact, do doubt. An Omaha fellow one night last week ate 250 clams in two hours and fifteen minutes and immediately after swal lowing the last one he called for a por terhouse steak. Of course this fellow lives in Omaha. There's where we ship our hogs. Louisville has a man, married thirty live years, who kisses his neighbor's wile every time his neighbor leaves home. That's nothing to brag about. Plattsmouth has a man married forty years, who not only kisses his wife when he leaves home, but kisses the hired girl every time his wife leaves home. Rural postal routes were asked for and have come to stay. Rural tele phones are advancing to greater use fulness. Now comes the scheme of lighting the country roads. Hamburg, Iowa, has a set of promoters who are endeavoring to organize a stock com pany to light two roads out of Ham ourg for a dozen miles. The lights to be incandescent, one hundred yards apart, and the power to be furnished by the Hamburg electrical light com pany. Taxes; Taxes) is the all-absorbing question, and the injustice or ignor ance of the assessors. In one ward a man whose home contains nine rooms, elegantly furnished, is assessed forty dollars on his household effects, while in another ward a workman in the shops is assessed fifty dollars on house hold goods that furnishes three or four rooms. One owns $1500 worth of furni ture while a high estimate on the other is $150. Such injustice is the subject of discussion on the streets and at the fireside. This is not only one instance, but there are hundreds of others, a.qd in each and every instance the poor man is worsted,. Head yderj Bros, ad In this paper x3 map all over and A IWH.

It has been the subject of much discus sion among the papers of the east, as to what organization had the best chorus, and despite the small fortunes Ziegfeld and others have spent with "The lied Feather," "M'selle Napo leon;" in which Anna Held is starring and others, the palm for beauty, ex cellence and merit, goes without a doubt to Nixon & Zimmerman's com pany in presenting "Miss Hob White," which will be seen here soon.

He and .Johnny Likewise had started to the M.

He lit in such a manner as to fracture the ankle of the left leg. Mr. Likewise sustained a slight sprain in one of his ankles, which will necessitate the as sistance of a cane for several davs. Take Your Local Paper. There is no excuse for any persons being "taken in" by "fake" doctors or any other swindle in this day arid age, as some of the farmers of this county have recently been. It certain ly cannot be possible that neither of these gentlemen take a county paper? If so. they had better subscribe now and keep posted on such matters. A Winter in Florida.

The cost of a sojourn in Florida is so small compared w ith the benefit you will receive, that you cannot af ford to risk your health in the cold, disagreeable winter of the north.
