More Complete Description of the Mem
orial Windows.
(Uv Katiikk Hkaih.kv)
Asa suppleinent to your very excel
lent account or the dedicatory services
and description or the new memorial
windows in St. John's church I wish
to tfive for the hetietit of your readers
a more detailed description ot the win
dows. The first window on the epistle side
bek'innintf from the altar, represents a
tiVure of Christ as the tfood shepherd,
and was given, by the hisbop or Lin
coln and by priests of the Omaha and
Lincoln dioceses as a token of esteem
and affection for Father Carney, late
pastor of the church. It contains an
Inscription in Latin setting forth the
fact, whicb is translated as follows:
"To the glory of (lod this window has
been placed by priests, his friends,
to the memory of the Very Ilev.
Thomas J. Carney, V. F., who, after
he had for well-nigh twenty years
borne the care of this parish, fell
asleep in the Lord, on the second day
of July, A. I)., I'.t03. Pray for him."
For the accomodation of those who
are unacquainted with the Latin lan
guage a translation lias been written
and allixed to the wall, beside the win
dow. As the window is a memorial by
priests to a priest it was thought to
be fitting that the inscription be in
the language of the church: hence the
use of t lie Latin tongue.
The next window on the epistle side
contains the iigure of St. John, the
Baptist, the patron saint of thechurch.
It is inscribed: "To the memory of
John Stigl. Pray for him." And the
expense was defrayed by a legacy left
by Mr. Stigl for the adornment of the
church.
Beginning from the north, on the
gospel side, the first window is dedi
cated to St. Helen. Through her zeal
ous efforts the cross upon which our
Savior was crucified, which had long
been vainly sought, was at length
found; hence she is represented bear
inn the cross. The window is dedi
cated as follows: "In memoriam.
Helena Maria Eirenberger. K. 1. 1'."
1 1 is given by Mrs. A. II. Week bach and
brother, Mr. Fred E4renl)erger,in mem
ory of their mother, deceased. Whilst
till the windows are beautiful this and
the Fat her Carney memorial window
surpass t lie others in aitistic execu
tion. Next to St. Helen's window on the
same side of the church comes St.
Henry's. This saint Iiveda noble life,
and his reign was signali.ed by en
lightened labors for the spread of re.
ligion and morality and by his magniii
cence in works of public utility. This
particular saint was chosen by the
donor of the window. Mrs. A. II.
Weckbach. who placed it as a ,mem
orial to her late husband, Anton
Henry, more commonly known by his
second Christian name of Henry. The
inscription reads: "Pray for the eter
nal well being of the soul of Anton
Henry Weckbach."
The circular window over the main
altar, which measures five and a half
feet in diameter, was given by Mrs.
John Habscheidt and another lady. It
is without inscription and contains an
4 Ecce Homo" representation of the
thorn crowned head of Christ.
The windows are all beautiful and
as stated in the Journal on the day
they were dedicated, they surely add
a hundred per cent to the beauty and
churchliness of St. John's. The donors
are to be congratulated and their
worthy examples others will do well
to emulate.
The hitching posts placed on the
side streets are highly appreciated by
the farmers. They are placed there
especially for their accomodation.

An Ideal Place in Which a Permanent
Range May Be Located.
H. E. McMaken, Frank Schlater, C.
A. Bawls and K. E. Hilton went out
to the proposed rifle range sight near
( )reapolis this morning. The reason
for going was a letter received by Mr.
McMaken Tuesday stating that if
the people of Plattsmouth want the
ritfe range they will have to at least
say so.
The gentlemen found a piece of land
ideal in every way for a rifle range.
There is a 1"00 yard stretch of perfect
ly level ground with a sixty foot bluff
at one end to act as a catcher for the
bullets. Nearby is a beautiful grove
of trees affording ample shade, and
level, open fields, where tents may be
pitched and ball games played.
It is doubtful whether there Is an
other piece of ground in the country
equal to this in every way for a rifle
range.
Word has come that the decision
will soon be made in favor of some one
or the several locations ottered by dif
ferent towns in the state.
The range, wherever it is located,
will probably be made permanent by
the next congress, which is expected
to appropriate 1,000,00) for rifie
ranges throughout the couutry. This
will mean from loo to 2.000 men sta
tioned here continuously from April
to October. It is needless to point out
how much money that will mean for
Plattsmouth.
Who's a Liar?
J. M. Teegarden, assessor of Cass
county, is just at present engaged in
sending out Mr. Pollard's circulars
over his own signature, which are as
misleading in statement as they are
untruthful in intent. Xow we repro
duce a section of Mr. Pollard's state
ment, and also that portion of Mr.
Brown's circular to which he refers,
that the readers of the Journal may
judge who has lied about the matter.
Pollard's henchman, Teegarden, says:
"The democratic nominee is a man of
wealth and is opposed to Mr. Boose
velt's plan to give the interstate com
merce commission unquestioned power
to regulate railroad rates. He believes
in the present rate making system
and that there is no need of legislation
along the lines demanded by the pres
ident. He is one of the largest lumber
dealers in the state."
Xow here is what Mr. Brown has to
say:
"I wih vote and labor to the end that
the taritl wall around this country
shall not be so high as to permit men
to extort unfair prices from the gov
ernment: I shall insist also that the
rule which Mr. Boosevelt has, in the
Taft order, laid down for the benelit
of the government, shall be followed
for the benefit of the individual con
sumer. 1 shall favor a law which will
iive the president authority to remove
the tariff from any article which. after
proper inquiry, shall be found to be
t he subject of trust agreement or the
product of a combination coming un
der the difinition of 'conspiracy in re
straint of trade.'
"Asa business man and an extensive
shipper, 1 know the importance of a
law prohibiting rebates and giving to
ttie interstate commerce commission
the power to fix rates. During my
business career in Nebraska I have
paid in freight more than one-half
million dollars and have not received
one dollar rebate. I shall vote and la
bor for a bill to abolish rebates and to
give to the interstate commerce com
mission the power to fix rates. That
bill should provide that when the rate
is rixed it shall go into effect imme
diately, and so remain unless it is de
stroyed by the supreme court. I shall
strive for action on this Subject at the
coming regular session or at the spe
cial session should a special session be
called. At all events, I shall protest
against delay and shall do my part to
obtain rePef for the public at an early
day."
Highly Entertained.

Mrs. Swearingen, of Plattsmouth en

Henry Hoffmeister, Who Was Killed at
South Bend Sunday Morning, the
Murderer.
"Henry Hoffmeister, who was killed
by the cars at South Bend last Sunday
morning," says our old friend, Conrad
Schlater, "formerly resided in Louis
ville, and worked at his trade of shoe
making, and there, in 10, killed a
man who was rooming at his house.
It was midnight when t he shooting
occurred, and the murdered man had
been employed at a stone quarry near
town. Being sick the man had gone
out of doors and was shot dead by Hoff
meister. Having business in Louis
ville I went to town early in the morn
ing. When I heard of the killing 1
went to HotTraeister's house, on Main
street, and found the dead man lying
on the pavement near the kitchen.
I met Hoffmeister, who appeared ter
ribly excited, and asked him all about
the shooting, and from h is statement
I took it for granted that tie had fired
the fatal shot, and in plain words told
him so. He denied the charge, and
said the same to some boys who had
done some shooting late In the even
ing. "We telegraphed for the sheriff and
Coroner P. P. (J ass," continued Mr.
Schlater, "who arrived with Dr. Hall
of Plattsmouth. A jury was impanel
ed by the coroner, of which 1 was a
member, and Doctors Hall and Hase
meier conducted the post mortem ex
amination. The bowels and breast
were opened to lind the cause. It was
soon ascertained that his breast was
perforated with shot from a shotgun.
The shot were taken out and Sheriff
Win. Hayes compared the same with
shot that were in the house and they
were the same. Hoffmeister was call
ed to the witness stand to testify, and
positively denied doing the shooting
which had killed the man. After his
testimony his wife was called to the
stand. This was more than Hoff
meister had expected, knowing full
well that her testimony vould convict
him.
"He became more excited than
ever," said Mr. Schlater, "and asked
the authorities to let me go out of
doors with him as he desired to talk
with me. The coroner gave his con
sent for me to go with him and hear
what Hoffmeister had J to say. We
went to a secluded spot nearby, where
he informed me that he had killed the
man by shooting him with the shot
gun. He had taken the victim, so he
said, for one of the boys who had
bothered him. I look him back to
the jury room, and informed the cor
oner and jury of what he had told me.
He was recalled to the witness stand
and reported what he had said to me.
He was brought to Plattsmouth and
placed in jail until his trial at district
court, in which he was acquitted on
account of the boys bothering him,
which they had continued for quite
awhile.
"The man that Hoffmeister killed,"
continues Mr. Schlater, "was a hard
working man, his wife and children
living near Greenwood, and in order
to earn money to pay for his home he
labored in the stone quarry at Louis
ville. His wife arrived during the cor
oner's inquest, and the scene was
heartrending. We buried the body at
12 o'clock at night. The wife and a
few others, among whom was my son,
Frank, and Howard Zink, our school
teacher, conveyed it to the Catholic
cemetery where interment was made.
It was a sad funeral."
A Hundred Years Hencs.
"I often wonder how things will be
around here a hundred years from
now," said a Plattsmouth boy this
morning. "I suppose the same num
ber of chumps will be on hand to go to
the barber shop to get their hair cut
on Saturday night. Dogs will lie
around asleep all day and then begin
to howl about the time you get into
bed. Trains will be just as late when
you want to go away and the letter
that you look for will never come.
The man who knows it all will be on
hand to teli you when you are wrong,
and the lady with the crying baby will
have a seat just in front of you at
church. When you want to go out
walking some pleasant evening with a
young lady you will find some other
fellow has beaten you to it, and when
you want to take her in and get a dish
of ice cream she will be tagged by
three or four girl friends who refuse
to break oway. Things will be so much
the same that I don't believe I care to
come back. It might be a pleasant
pastime to look down over the battle
ments and watch the fellows who suc
ceed you hereon earth wading through
their troubles, but that is about all.
When I look back over all the trials
and tribulations there are on a jour
ney through this vale of tears I come
to the conclusion that once is enough
for me.".
