Tin; wuy to break a had i i ; i ' i t is to quit it sh-.rt. and tlion stop t 'linking about it. Tlio average woman J i:ili-s an old bachelor wur than a congressman with six wives. j Never before lias the matter of cele brating met with such united suunt in riattsmnutli. The taxpayer is glad to stand high in the coinmimity, hut he don't want to ho over-rated. Ynunu man, you can make your wife hjlieve anything during the honey moon, hut not afterward. The closing exercises of st. .lulin'.s school will occur at the i'annele thea tre Tuesday evening, Juno 21. "What's scandal?'' It's what you tell to every one before bieathing a word of it to the person subjected. Tlio street sprinkler is the only man who can boast of a soft job these days. Providence lias been exceedingly kind to him. A number of fanner in town this week ay that while much of the re planting is due to so much rain, there is considerable of it, due to poor seed corn. If dogs are assessed at what their ow ners think they are worth the bur den on other property will be pretty light. ' Kemember Plattsmouth will have the only big celebration i.i Cass county this year. Co sure to attend and bring your family. A correspondent lias asked us to de fine what "tanding pat" means. We know, all right, all right, but we don't like to tell. Don't get blue over y.jur financial condition. It is really no trouble to get rich after you have saved your first million dollars. A New Jersey judge hasdecided that one boy is worth two girls. That de cision wouldn't stand for a minute in any Nebraska court, A great many people will go to St. Louis this year thinking they are mil lionaires and come back realizing that they are the next door to pauperism. Some people in this town pay no at tention to sidewalk notices, while oth ers are prompt in complying to the de mands of the city council for new walks. The good citizen always abides by the law. - Indeed the block on the south side of Main between Fifth and Sixth streets, had a narrow escape from total de struction by tire Monday night. There was scarcely any wind to fan the lames, which was very fortunate. Thepostoilice lobby has again become unite a meeting place for hoys and girls of evenings, notwithstanding the postofiieo department expressly forbids loating there, and Postmaster Smith has not ices posted In plain view to this effect. How is the county treasurer to pro ceed to collect the delinquent taxes due on property here in l'lattsmouth V It is said that according to the list or dered prepared by the county commis sioners, at an expense of 'ioo, be is in a iiuandary as to how toproceed In the matter. Maybe the 'wise-heads" can advise him. If some of the fathers and mothers of daughters, ranging in ago from 1 1 to l'i years, will visit the High school grounds or the Missouri Pacitic depot, some Sunday evening after the church bells have rang, they will perhaps spy them enjoying the company of some hoys, instead of going to church. We are aware parents of tlnse girls would stop tills if they knew it. The eommissioiieis a few months since went to the expense "f employing an expert to make out a delinquent !l-s' by which the county treasurer could collect the back taxes. This work cost the taxpayers of Cass county '.n; . It now turns out that such a botch was made of the business that so far as It concerns tlio city of Platt-nieiith. this list is In such a tangible shap- that a Philadelphia couldn't unravel it. Put there are some wise heads on that board-s i wis1: that they let pi lltleal prejudlco prec-do qualil'c.iU'tis. GK'3 Lcm a CorJIa!

Monday dawned beautiful and bright and was an ideal day for decoration exercises. The program as prepared by the; A. I!, post of this city was carried out to the letter. The entire forenoon was given to strewing ilowers over tiio graves of departed heroes w ho now sleep in Oak Iii!l cemetery. While the old soldiers were engaged in paying tribute to the memory of their dead comrades, the friends and rela tives of tho.se who had passed over to the threat Ileyond. were also engaged in placing lloral offerings on the graves of the dear depaited. The beautiful weather enabled all to do their duty on this memorable day, and right well did they perforin that duty. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Par mele theatre was filled to its utmost capacity by those interested in hear ing the exercises prepared for the oc casion. Judge S. M. Chapman opened the exercises with a few 'appropriate remarks, for which the Judge isalways equal to. In his brief address he cai'cd attention to the fact that Mc Conihie Post held its lirst memorial exercises twenty-four years ago. P.rief as the address was it was very inter esting. The Plattsonian quartette furnished the music for the occasion and it is needless to say it was highly appre ciated. Dr. Laird of the Presbyter ian church offered prayer after which came the oration of Mr. A. W. Jefferis, the principal speaker. Mr. Jefferis is a young attorney of Omaha, and his remarks were suited to the event and highly appreciated by those who lis tened to it. He is a pleasant speaker and a gentleman of tine presence. On this particular occasion Mr. Jefferis made many lasting friends in l'latts mouth. The exercises were concluded by the rendition of "The Holy City." by Miss Alice Dovey, and to say that this mas terpiece was most beautifully rendered but half expresses it. Miss Dovey possesses a most charming voice and her appearance upon the stage, most elegantly attired, was simply grand. In fact, in the rendition of this sacred song Miss Dovey displayed great abil ity as a vocalist and that she is a mas ter in her profession. The benediction was pronounced by P.ev. II. P. Purgess of St. Luke's Epis copal church, after which the Woman's ilelief Corps repaired to the banks of the Missouri to deposit beautiful Ilowers upon the waters in commemo ration of the departed veterans of the navy. This was a very interesting ceremony, and was witnessed by a nu mber of the (J. A. P.. post and many other citizens. Thus closed the decoration exercises for l'.n'L and taking it all in all, it is said to have been the most interesting observance of the groat memorial day ever witnessed in l'lattsmouth. Returned From California. Mr. and Mrs. D. ). Itwyer and the tw in babies. accompanied by Miss Ilelle Martin, arrived Monday night and are welcomed homo by their many friends. The trip was made from San .h so in a little over tv.o days and nights, and all paties seemed io have stood the long ri ie remarkably well. Mr. Dwycrgave the Journal a brief call '1 uesday, but we did iwt learn 1 1 in bim as to his fu ture movement-. Many of hi.s friends have suruii-ed that ho intended to el.'M'i'iit his bushier hei- and hence forth make 1:1- homo in the Colden Stat.'. Wo trust in t. h "wev-r, as Mr. and Mis.

THE FIRE MONDAY NIGHT F. J. Morgan fte Greatest Lccer- Bennett i 1 and Bauer's Goods Also Damaced. The incessant ringing of the ti n j bed Monday night about half-past j eleven o'clock resounded over the city in the stillness of the ho;.: to the ex- j tent tf arousing nianv from lheiri peaceful slumbers, while many had j not yet retired and some lew were up- on tii- st reels. 1 Fire and sm.e!;e was seen emulating li'ini Hie roof ol the i-. .1. Morgan building, immediately over the 100m occupied by the K. of P. It seemed to have gotten a pretty fair headway when the tire company arrived on the scene, and it was some time before tl""v had it. und-r control. The night was very calm, which was undoubtedly a very favoral le cir cumstance and was I ho means of sav ing the building and perhaps the en tire block between Fifth and Sixth si root fmiu total dost ruction, although much credit is due to the daring ef forts nt the lire company. The lower room of the building is occupied by F. J. Morgan as a clothing emporium, while the adjoining room to that occu pied by the K. of P. lodge is Used by the Masonic lodge, which had but re cently been refitted with new furni ture, regalias, etc. The adjoining building was some what effected, and the grocery store of L D. lieniiett ami the hardware store of John IJauer came in for a share of the losses, some of the goods in each being damaged by water. The origin of the lire perhaps will remain a mystery for all t hue tocoine, notwithstanding the many theories. The one that it was caused from a live elect lie wire exploded in forming The K. of p. hold a meeting in their room that evening and il seems before their adjournment a peculiar smell was detected, but from whence it came could not be discovered despite a thorough examination. So many other theories are advanced by tlio knowing ones, who are always ready to donate an opinion, that it is not necessary to 4:1010 them. The dam ages have been done and all theo'ii;, must now bo cast to die four winds. The losses are serious enough to those who are effected, and to repair these losses are what is upmost in Heir minds. and an effort to prevent a repeti tion of the cause, no matter what it may be. Tiie Masonic lodge room was literal ly deluged with water, and the con tents most seriously damaged. The K. of P. room in which were also the I. A. P. and W. II. C. paraphernalia, fared perhaps as badly if not worse. The full extent of damages cannot be ascertained yet, but it is presumed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000. Morgan's loss on stock and building is variously estimated from id, 000 to tT.ikio: Masons about il.oou: K. of P. 8l'.oo or !?100; L. It, HeimoU and John llauer from -2oo to&inneach: Walter White on building between 1,000 and 2,oim). Again did the local tire company display good work in the management of the tire, but the fact must not be lost sight of that they were ably as sisted by many of the younger class of citizens. The losses are fully covered by In surance. Has the Boy Been Murdered. Two years agoCeorge, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Albert of this county, went out to Montana. He located on a ranch about 1..0 miles from a railroad, but in spite of these conditions his parents received letters from him regularly un til five months ago, since which time nothing has been heard from him. As time passed and no word came from the long absent boy, his parents became greatly alarmed fur fear that some mis fortune has befallen him. Those fear were Increased by oilier circumstances connected with the case. Last Janu ary Mr. Albert forwarded a draft for 2"0 to his son at Wilboux, Mont., which amount the latter wished toii-e In the purchase of some cattle. The boy acknowledged receipt of the money and that was the last ines-age from him. Since then several letters have been forwarded to Ids address at Wil boux and to Nevvlon, Mont., while the postmasters at those places were also communicated with, but the replies received were not satisfactory, and they failed to allay the fears of the par entsthat the young man had been ro! bed of Ills money and possibly mur dered. Tin: relatives are now making an investigation In an effort to solve the mystery. Painting, decorating and sign w rit ing. Work guaranteed. Leave orders at Fricko'sdrug store. L. Baldwin.

Tliele is no ol her luet hods of securing publicity tliat can be compared w it h liewspaper advertising, either in the extent of the Held covered or h" ili-r-ctness with which ;i is covered.

And, judged by the work done and the results secured, thenewspaper is by far the cheapest, thoih f adver- Using a- ii cerlainlv is t he only tlior-1 ough method. The up-to-'iate communities which have recently adopted this means of spreading their advantages abroad have done so because hey had the bus iness shi"vvdncs-t to iecognl.e its su periority and because they were not content to confine themselves to the old method of waiting until muiio out sider discveri'd their existence and instituted iinpiiry concerning their in ducements. They believed rather in making known their inducements far and wide, that inquiry and investiga tion might be prompted from quarters which, in ignorance of the particular location advertised, would never have made them ol herw ise. Most encouraging practical result have attended this movement. Capital lias been invested and manufactures have been attracted that, otherwise would never have been reached. The more fact that a community is pro gressive enough toad"pt so progressive a method of booming itself creates a good impression, and when it isah'etn justify such an Impression, good is bound tocome of It.
