I like the tiiiin wlio never cures
Whin, those umimil lilm any;
He meddles not with their all'iilrs
Who puss him on the w:iy .
I'nll of himself, he has no time
( To watch his fellow man;
He has no kicks for those who climb
Or do the hest they run.
Hon't eat moat cat caramels.
In some stores munis are kept- in
others they are sold.
A wise man isn't known lv thect'in-
pany ho refuses to associate with.
A skeptic Is a man who doesn't
share the good opinion we have of our
selves. ltoth sides are satisfied with the
strike situation. Hut how about the
public?
A girl would rather go hungry than
miss an opportunity to have her for
tune told.
Labor Day will soon he here and the
various unions are preparing for a big
celebration.
Some are of the opinion that peaches
will be as low as 25 cents per bushel at
this market.
Everything is good in season except
cantaloupes, which are getting worse
every season.
Since it lias become somewhat dilll
cult to chew the beef It is not so d i 11!-
cult to eschew it.
Perhaps one reason people go late to
church is that they don't have to go
early to get a scat.
A man often thinks some woman he
knows mortal homely, but he'd never
dare tell her so to her face.
Why don't some of l'lattsmouth's
young people break the monotony of
dullness by getting married.
When a woman hasn't anything else
to do she rips up something useful and
makes something ornamental.
Here we are In dog days. And it
seems every dog has his day in this
town, if the dog-catch is around.
An Omaha man who opened an
other man's mail was recently sent to
jail for a year by the judge of the fed
eral court.
This is the time of year when that
tired feeling reaches the limit. It
makesone weary to notice things even
drop-stitch hose.
Several parties were in the city this
week to look up locations for various
enterprises. Who says a commercial
club does no good?
The High school building looks
rather queer since it has been lowered
one story, especially to those who are
accustomed to passing it two or three
times a day.
The weather is just ripe for picnics,
and besides the chiggcrs are ripe also.
There is no fun going to picnics unless
you can get full of chlggers, to remind
you of what a nice time you had.
Some men doing business on other
people's money in this town, feel their
importance more than the parties who
loaned them the money to "spread
out" with. 15ut you will find them in
all towns.
"Mercy'." exclaimed a lady to the
family physician. "You don't mean
to say my husband has the appendi
citis? Well, it's just like lilm-lie
never lias anything till it lias gone
completely out of style."
A friendly "hunch" while on earth
is worth more than a whole lot of
praise after we have gone hence. If
some preachers would think of this
there would be less cause for people to
consider them hypocrites.
Wc have one man In this town who
would beat his best friend in a busi
ness deal. Hut he will soon have to
move his headquarters to another lo
cality. The people have at last got
onto his conlldencc games.
A Murray maiden defined a kiss to
a riatlsmouth boy over the telephone
last Monday. Eaves-droppers along
the line say she told the young man
that a kiss was the only agreeable two
faced action under the sun-or moon.
Yum! Yum!:
Is there an ordinance prohibiting
the shooting of birds Inside tlic corpor
ation? Some one was so careless the
other evening In shootlngat birds that
some of the shot lit right at our back
door yard, where the family were sit
ting. This Is pure and simple care
lessness. Perhaps those who objected to the
lowering of the High school building
have no children to go there. It has
been considered unsafe for years, and
the lxiard was wise in remedying it.
1'a rents of children going to this build
ing may now rest easily when the windy
and blustery weather arrives.

HOME FIRST ALL THE TIME.
A Few Suggestions Why Farmers and Oth
ers Should Buy of the Home
Merchants.
hi the first place jou can get goods
just as cheap of your home dealer as
you can in the larger cities, if you
would only take time to Investigate
the matter.
Then no mail older house or ( hnaha
merchant helped to build the little
white school house on the road past
your door, No mail order house or
Omaha merchant ever took you by the
baud and told you to let that little ac
count stand until after harvest or un
til you sold your corn or cat t le or hogs
No mail order house or Omaha mer
chant ever sold you a machine and
spent every cent of the profits rigid in
the community where you and your
neighbors could get, it all back again.
And again, suppose a local merchant
makes t2,.ri00 or even :.,ooo profit on a
year's sales from the farmers of this
doesn't he pay out for home taxes and
other necessary expenses at least half?
hoes the 'Jmaha merchant or mail or
der house do this?
Tlie same goods bought of the mail
order houses and the big city mer
chant at their prices would give tliein
a prolit a great deal larger and what
good would it do the town and county
in which you live? How much taxes
do these houses pay in your county?
How much produce from your farm do
they buy? Who buys your surplus po
tatocs, cabbages, fruits, etc.? 1 10 the
mail order houses? Not much. If
these houses could sell all the goods in
the county, where would you go
when you went to town? A town Is
no town without live and prosperous
stores. A county with no live towns
is passed over by land buyers and en
terprises seeking locations. A town
has a reputation away from home and
good, live, prosperous stores make that
reputation enviable and attract home
seekers to the county.
Kvery farmer is interested in mak
ing his home town prosperous, and
when he goes or sends away for goods
that can he bought just as cheap and
just as good at home, he perhaps does
not fully realize the injury lie Is doing
to home enterprises. Study these sug
gestions, and when you fully under
stand the matter the Journal believes
that you will come to the conclusion
that they arc about right.
Let your motto ever be "Home lirst,
the world afterwards."
Orange Blossoms.
A very beautiful wedding occurred
at St. Patrick's church in Manley, on
Wednesday, August 10, 11)04, at 7 a. m.
when Mr. Thomas Hurgner, of North
1'latte, Neb., and Miss Margaret Tighe.
of Manley, were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock. Father Hennessey
performed the ceremony in accordance
with the rites of the Catholic church
and in a most impressive manner. The
bride is a daughter of James Tighe,
deceased, and belongs to one of the
best families in Cass county, and has
been living with her mother on a farm
near Manley. The groom is said to be
a most worthy young man, and em
bodies ail the essentials to make a
good husband. The Journal joins the
many rriendsof the bride and groom
in wishing them smooth sailing down
the river of Time.
Special Sale Days.
The busy fall trading season will
soon be here and we would like to sec
our business men Inaugurate a series
of special sale days or something of
this nature the object of which would
be to stimulate trade in Plattsmouth.
It has been tried repeatedly in other
towns and has been attended with suc
cess. Not only Is It beneficial for the
time being but It extends our fame
as a trade center for miles and brings
new faces to town, those whom we arc
unable to reacliothcrwisc. llring peo
ple to Plattsmouth on such occasions
Instead of letting them go to Omaha.
If inducements arc offered them they
would prefer to come here Instead of
going to Omaha. Let's try it. What
do you say?
Was In Poor Health For Years.
Ira W. Kelley, of Manslield. l'a..
writes: "I was in poor health for two
years, stilTerlng from kidney and blad
der trouble, and spent considerable
money consulting physicians without
obtaining any marked benefit, but was
cured by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I
desire to add my testlmoney that It
may be the cause of restoring the
health of others." Kefuse substitutes.

try the "Acorns" 5 cent cigar and you
will smoke no other.
Eagle Picnic Sunday.
lon't forget the Fagle picnic next
Sunday at Nick lhtluies' grove, four
miles west of I'lattsinoulh. Here is
situated tine of ihe must beautiful
groves In Cass county, and just the
ideal s.Hit for an enjoyable event of
this character. The picnic will be un
der the auspices of the Fagle lodge of
this eily, and there is no discount on
having plenty of amusement. Plenty
of go. id music, all the dancing urn
want and refreshments till you can't
rest. It is hist far enough from
Plattsiiiiuitli lo lii- an enjoyable ride
out and in. Take your wife with you,
and if ou have no wife take your sis
ter, and if you have no sister take
somebody else's sister. I hit by all
means go, if you hae to go alone

Captured a Wolf.
Hilly o'P.tlen, the jovial Irishman
from near Murray, was In the city one
day last week and w hile here gave the
Journal a call, lie relaledan hidden!
while here of which he was an eye
witness. A few days before coining to
town, while assist lug Charley S'liwab
in culling oats, tbe latter was on the
(midline. In one of their round-i a
Wolf was s:tleil I loin ,k let I e.i I ami
as II started to i mi I 'hai ley jumped
from tbe inaeli ami grabbing a
sheaf of oats, threw il onto Mr. Wolf
and held hiui fast nnl il a si rap was
brought with which in fasten him.
Tbe wolf Uas taken to Mr. .Schwab's
pi, ice and pul in an mil building w here
II was 1 1 ii in v I it he would be secure.
Charley went, hick lo his (,rk and in
Ihe evening, al'ler his (lav's work was
done he I liounht he would take a peep
at hiscaplive, when ,,, and behold:
I he prisoner had gnawed I lie ,sl rap hi
two, dugout of his prison cell and "III,
"(it for Ihe (all limber," where he
perhaps told of bis narrow escape l,i
his hrnt hers and sisters. When Char
ley discovered the escape he was com
pletely outdone, as he was llgiiriugou
lining something great with his Wolf
ship. Put, the manner in which the
wolf was raptured is what Hilly thinks
remarkable.

Gasoline Stove Did the Work..
A cottage on South Tenth street,
owned by Peter Peterson and occupied
by Claude Putler had a close call to be
ing destroyed by lire between four and
and live o'clock Saturday evening. Mr.
Putler, it seems, after generating tlio
gasoline stove and lighting It, discov
ed that It was impossible to stop the
How of gasoline from the lank, and In
an instant tlie flames shot upward fill
ing tlie room' with smoke and tire.
The lire department was on hand as
soon as possible and succeeded In ex
tinguishing the flames before the
building was ent irely burned. A great
deal of the furniture was ruined. Mrs.
Putler was sick in lied at the time and
was carried from the house by her
husband. We understand that the
property was Insured for Moo.
Sued for $35,000.
The Journal stated a few weeks ago
that Fd Pnuit nor, w ho was so serious
ly Injured at Pacific Junction several
mouths ago, had reached a compro
mise with the railroad company. He
thought lie had, but claims they went
back on the proposition. Through his
attorney, Matthew tiering, he now in
stitutes suit in the district court for
damages to the extent of .:',."i,oihi. Mr.
Prantner is badly crippled, and will
never be able to get around without
tlie aid of crutches, and therefore un
able to gain a living for himself and
family by manuel labor. The railroads
sometime make great mistakes by not
securing a compromise w ith such par
ties, and this is one of them.

M. M. Peal departed yesterday for
