Hits the Nail.
A Texas editor hits the right i-pot
when he says: ''The sorriest fellow on
earth is the fellow who will sit around
and cuss his own town. If I lived
astride of the north pole, I would call
it home and be ready to boost it up.
If I could not say anything nice about
it, I would say that my ice bill didn't
come high. I wouldn't stay in a town
I had to cuss not while the world is
as bg as it is now."

MORE PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of the De
partment of the Interior.
Hklplkss Minoi:. A child who is
an incurable epileptic, having a falling

nervous attacks much oftener, who is
vigorous in body, but dull mentally,
who is able to attend to his personal
wants except when suffering from an
epileptic seizure, and can perform
some remunerative labor, but not
nearly sufficient to afford him a sup
port, is "permanently helpless" in the
contemplation of the law, and the
pension on his account should be con
tinued.

SHERIFF McBRIDE" ALERT
By His Usual Indomitable Energy He Cap
tures a Horse Thief at Nebraska City.
Sheriff Page of Geneva, Neb., was
here Saturday on the lookout for a
horse thief. He was in secret con
ference with Sheriff McBride for some
time Saturday afternoon. He was
given a full description of the property
After gathering all the information
necessary, Sheriff McBride and the
Geneva sheriff proceeded to Nebraska
City. The thief had some friends in
or near Union, and they stopped there
first, thinking possibly he might have
halted to see them,
A little after noon today Deputy
Sheriff Tutt received a message to
the effect that they had both the
thief and the property and that they
would arrive here sometime this even
ing. The thief's name is Raker and
he is a young man.
Give our excellent Sheriff a chance
and he will bag his game every time.
Sheriff McBride's record for capturing
thieves will compare with that of any
sheriff in Nebraska, notwithstanding
some prejudiced people will not give
proper credit for same. He does not
mind the little curs who delight in
snapping at his heels, but proceeds
with his duties just the same as though
they did not bark.
Cornpliments the Journal.
The following is simply one of the
many letters we receive nearly every
day, and being from one of lhe lady
teachers, and one who so highly ap
preciates our efforts in giving the peo
ple of Cass county an up-to-date paper,
that we give it place in our columus:
Elmuood, Nei;., Aug. '2, '05.
The Plattsmouth Journal, Platts
mouth, Neb.
Gentlemen: Please lind enclosed a
postoffice money order to pay for one
year's subscription to the Plattsmouth
Journal, to begin the next issue.
I am a teacher of Cass county. My
school is in district ill. I have seen
several copies of 3'our paper and think
every loyal teacher or Cass county
should have access to the l'lattsmouth
Journal. Yours respectfully,
Myktle B. Fentiman,
Elmwoocl, Neb.
Funeral This Afternoon.
The funeral of Mrs. J. P. Clintberg
was held at the residence this after
noon at 2 o'clock, and the services were
conducted by Rev. J. E. Iloulgate,
pastor of the M. E. church. Inter
ment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
Deceased was born in Stockholm,
Sweden.
A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Henry Snyder, an old gentleman
about 75 years of age, met with an ac
dent about two o'clock Saturday after
noon which may prove fatal. Mr. Sny
der, it seems, came to town early in
the morning and about nine o'clock ac
cidently fell and hurt himself. He was
taken to the home of William Brant
ner, who occupies rooms in the Union
block, w here he was placed on a lounge.
Sometime near the hour mentioned
above, iie took a notion to come down
stairs, where he remained a short time
and started back. When he had gain
ed the top of the stairway, it is pre
sumed he thought he had got into the
wrong place. He turned around as to
decend, and took one step when lie fell
head-long to the bottom. When he
was picKed up and carried upstairs to
the room from whence he came he was
found to be entirely unconscious, in
which condition he has remained with
but very little change, which has been
slightly for the better.
Mr. Snyder makes his home with his
son-in-law, Conrad Vallery, five miles
west of l'lattsmouth, and very seldom
comes to town. Being in his dotage,
he is one of those who generally pre
fers to remain at home.
The latest reports are to the effect
that he is resting easier, and while
slight hopes are entertained for his re
covery, his age is against that result,
lie is an old citizen of the county and
the father of Andy Snyder, one of the
finest young men in Cass county. He
is also father of Mrs. Conrad Vallery,
both of whom are attending him. The
Journal hopes to be able to report the
old gentleman much improved in to
morrow's issue.
CAN THEY GET ALONG?
Counties May be Able to Avoid Great Em
barrassment From Railroad Tax Suit.
The Lincoln News is responsible for
the statement that State Treasurer
Montisen dees not believe that the
railway tax suits will result in so
much embarrassment for the counties
as had been anticipated. In many of
the counties the offer of the railways
to pay what they thought was justly
due was accepted under an order from
the federal court reserving all rights.
In some of them, the offers of the cor
porations were rejected, notwithstand
ing the order, but the offer to pay a
portion of the amount considered due
still stands, according to the informa
tion received by the treasurer.
Mr. Mortensen believes that the
counties will have no difficulty in
securing all the money needed since
there is an acti ve demand for w arrants,
and the mere fact that a portion of the
taxes levied is in question w ill not in
terfere with the issuance of warrants
to the amount of the estimates made.
The credit of the counties is good and
the demand for investments will main
tain these warrants at par. Should
the suit go against the counties, the
warrants could still be paid, so that
the county finance need not be greatly
embarrassed at present.
The taxes of the railway companies
are due December 1, just as are other
personal taxes. If they are not paid,
then, they become delinquent and the
penalty begins to run, and in February
the property of the corporations is
subject to restraint. It is supposed
that the Union Pacific and the Bur
lington will secure injunctions before
December 1, restraining the collection
of the taxes in order that they may be
consistent in their stand that they are
subjected to excessive. burdens.
There is considerable speculation as
to the time the taxes will be in litiga
tion. It may be three years until the
supreme court of the United States
can finally pass on the matter, it is
said. There are present indications
that the corporations desire to make
test cases and will proceed very delib
erately. It is believed that there is a
general understanding between some
of the larger companies that this liti
gation furnishes an opportunity to
test validity of the stock and bond
theory of railway taxation, enunciated
thirty years ago by Justice Miller of
the supreme court. At that time
they had not learned to inflate stock
and bond issues to such an extent and
had but little reason to complain that .
tangible values were not used as the
basis of assessment since in depressed
condition of the stock and bond mar
ket then prevailing the value of the
securities would be less than the vis
ible property. It is pointed out that
conditions have changed to a very
great extent and the issuance of stocks
and bonds has absorbed not only the
present tangible value, but represents
a neavy capitalization oi the iuture
value of the property and to sustain it
the freight rates are made high enough
to make dividend payments possible.
Although the suits will affect the
state treasury to a considerable extent,
they will not cause embarrassment,
despite the fact that the floating debt
is above the 32,000,000 mark. It is be
lieved that the railways will adopt the
same policy this year as they did last
year and will offer a considerable per
centage of the taxes to avoid creating
too much antagonism on the part of
the tax payers at large.
Death at Weeping Water.
A special from Weeping Water, un
der date of August 27, says: "Amos
Wart died last night at his home In
Riverside addition, aged 77 years and
months. He was born in Lycoming
county. Pennsylvania, February 2S,
125, came to Ohio and then to Ne
braska, settling here about twenty
five years ago. His aged wife is also
confined to her bed, and but little hope
is entertained of her recovery. He
leaves this aged wife, one sister and a
number of grown children, who will
keenly feel their loss. The funeral
will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock !n
the M. E. church."
AT THE McMAKEN HOME
A Fine Reception Tendered Friends in
Honor of Mr. and Mrs. Guy D.
McMaken.
Last Saturday evening from the
hours of 7:30 to 9:00 a reception was
held in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Guy D.
McMaken, given by II. C. McMaken
and daughter, Mrs. Reese, at their
home in the west part of town. Quite
a number of friends and relatives were
invited. The beautiful lawn in front
of the house was decorated with tlags
and some three or four dozen Chinese
lanterns were hanging on wires, and
with the many flowers and varities of
shruberyof which Mr. McMaken takes
such great delight in growing, the old
homestead certainly presented a very
delightful appearance. Many tables
and chairs were scattered here and
there for the comfort of the guests.
Ice cream and cake were served and
the overflowing punch bowl was
placed to one side of the law n and all
were asked to help themselves. One
is certainly made welcome when they
visit the McMaken home. The sur
roundings certainly denote this fact,
and every effort is exerted to make one
feel that the occasion was planned for
the enjoyment of the guests. Mr. and
Mrs. Guy McMaken departed on the
midnight Missouri Pacific train for
Atchinson, Kansas, for a short visit
among relatives and friends.
Especially for Young Ladies.
If a young girl stumbles over a bot
tle, she will not marry for a year.
If she steps on a cat's tail the result
is the same.
It is unlucky for two people, born on
the same day of the month, to marry.
It is an omen of marriage to drop a
milk pan.
It foretells e&ily marriage to rub
shoulders with a bride.
When a girl shakes hands with three
men in succession, on entering a room,
it is a sign of early marriage.
When the canary belonging to a
maiden lady has an even number of
feathers in its tail, it is a sign that she
will marry during its life.
To fall upstairs, is a sign you will
not be married for a year.
If a lady calls while you are sweep
ing, she will not be married that year.
It is unlucky for a bride to see her
marriage license before the ceremony.
If two brothers marry two sisters,
one of the couple will quarrel.
It is unlucky for a bride to let any
man see her while dressing for the mar
riage. It is unlucky for a bride to glance at
a mirror after dressing, unless she has
one glove off.
It means bad luck for a wedding par
ty to meet, on the way to church, any
of the following persons or animals: A
woman, a cross-eyed man, a blind per
son, a policeman, a priest, a lawyer, a
dog, a lizard, a snake. But it is lucky
to see a ladder.
It is unlucky for a wedding party to
meet a funeral. The only way to kill
a, hoodoo is to go through it.
If it snows on a wedding day, it is a
sign of a happy marriage.
A broken lamp chimney in the bridal
chamber, is an omen of broken mar
riage vows.
His Share of Accidents.
Alvin, the four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Stull, who resides on
the Platte river bottom north of the
city, thinks he is having more than
his share of trouble recently. Last
Friday he chopped off a partion of the
fore finger of his left hand. Dr. E.
W. Cook dressed the injured member
and he returned home feeling fine, and
while playing with a broken glass
fruit jar, sat down on it hard, and the
broken glass cut a very bad gasn, wnicu
the doctor sewed up. Mr. and Mrs.
Stull were in the city today with the
boy, and after an examination, Dr.
Cook pronounced the wound as healing
nicely, but the boy finds it very con
venient to lie instead of sit down.
Funeral of Henry Snyder.

ALWAYS ON
THEJLOOKOUT
Sheriff McBride Succeeds in Nabbing An
other Fleerer From Justice.
LEFT HERE NEAR A YEAR AGO
Charged With Running Away With Some
Mortgaged Property.
WAS CAPTURED AT WYMORE, NEBRASKA
For nearly one year Sheriff McBride
has made a desperate effort to locate
one Edward Carpenter, charged with
mortgaging two horses to Abram L.
Brown of Mt. Pleasant precinct, and
then running away with the property.
At last the fellow has been captured
at Wymore, Neb.
From the day the warrant was plac
ed in his hands, Sheriff McBride has
never ceased his efforts capture Car
penter, and at last those efforts have
been awarded with success, and by this
time tomorrow the much sought for
gentleman will be gazing through the
bars of the Cass county jail.
Sheriff McBride has traced Carpen
ter almost from one end of the state to
the other and back again, 'and. several
times he thought sure he had his man.
He has gone to numerous points to
identify the party captured, only to
find that the wrong man had been ar
rested, and still he has never let upon
his search. Mac has been indefatig
able in his efforts to bring criminals
to justice, and should be accorded the
credit that is honestly due an ener
getic and faithful official.
Here is a man who went and mort
gaged two horses to a man, whom he
intended to defraud. When lie mort
gaged the property he intended toskip
the country, and will now have to suf
fer the consequences. He has had a
hard time keeping out of Mac's way,
and has at last reached the inevitable
a term in the penitentiary.
An Enjoyable Event.
A surprise party was given Friday
night, September 2.3, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. I. S. White, near Rock
Bluffs, in honor of their grand-daughters,
the Misses Ann and Margarette
Hiatt, of Sidney, Iowa.
Music was furnished by Mrs. John
W. Hendricks and Miss Hiatt, and
social games were indulged in until a
late hour, when delicious refreshments
were served by Mrs. Sam G. Smith and
Mrs. Mark White.
Among those present were: Misses
Nanna Rouse, Lotta Foote, Mollie
Sei vers, Hester Gilmore, Nettie Smith,
Ora and Winnie Hutcheson, Buelah
Sans, Margaretta and Ann Hiatt.

Ray and Earl Smith, John Marquette;
Mr. and Mrs. John II. Hendricks, Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Sans, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. S. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Mark
White and Mrs. Sam G. Smith.
Advertising Did It.
The Western Publisher gives the ex
perience of a merchant who had two
stores in small towns only a few miles
apart. He put a bargain counter in
each store containing the same articles
at the same prices. In the newspaper
of one village he advertised his special
sale counters. In one month in the
village where he did not advertise he
sold $984 worth of goods. In the other
store where he did advertise he sold
the same goods) amounting to $1,724.
In commenting on the result of the
experiment the merchant says: "Peo
ple who got the paper would pass by
one store and drive four miles to the
other one for what they could have
gotten at the same price in my store
at their doors, but they did not know
it.
A Large Order.
Mr. Jos. Triner, the well-known
manufacturer of Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine, shipped a car
load of this preparation to New York
last week. This is certainly the best
proof of the popularity of Mr. Triner's
specialty which is rapidly finding new
friends in every nationality. It is in
deed a perfectly reliable remedy in all
diseases of the stomach and of the
blood, which does good to everybody
and harms none. Whoever is in need
of strength and of a good appetite,
cannot find a better remedy than
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine. It will make the stomach
strong: it will purify and renew the
blood: it will increase the muscular
power: it will pacify and strengthen
the nerves: it will keep you in perfect
health and prolong your life. Ladies,
pale and weak, troubled with constant
headache, should use nothing else. It
should be in every household, being
the best family remedy. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, manufacturer,

Because They are Democrats.
The follow ing are the names of some
of the prominent farmers south of
Louisville, who are deprived of free
mail delivery because they are demo
crats: John I). Ferguson, Peter and
Henry Vogel, Clias. Lau, August
Krecklow and a numberof other grand,
gqpd families. It seems strange that
public servants of the people will
stoop so low as to wreak vengeance
upon sucii men, because they disagree
with them in politics. But it seeir.s
this Is the case. These farmers live
in one of the best sections of the coun
ty, the roads to their farms are in ex
cellent condition, and there Is noother
excuse for depriving them of the priv
ilege granted other farmers, than that
they are democrats.
CROPS IN THE SOUTHWEST

early corn is dented. With normal
weather the bulk of the corn will be
safe from danger of damage by frost
by September lth, while as usual,
some late corn will need until October
1st to mature. The following is a
