Is like getting a letter from old friends j PlattSITlQUth Would PrOlB 1 Good LOCSt'lOn The county commissioners, with the county attorney, went to Papillion Tuesday to confer with the com missioners of Sarpy county concerning the Louisville bridge matter. During the last spring's freshet a large por tion of the north end of the Louisville wagon bridge wa9 washed out, and it being a bridge over the Platte river which forms the boundary line between Sarpy and Cass counties, it Is incum bent upon both counties to share the expense of repairing it. Itwilbere membered that Sarpy county refused to assist in repairing this bridge on the occasion of a former washout, when Cass county repaired the bridge and sued Sarpy county for its share of the expense in so repairing the same. This suit went to the supreme court on a demurrer to the petition llled by Cass county, and after coming before the supreme court three different times, was finally decided in favor of Cass county, and the suit on its mer its will probably be tried at the next term of district court in Sarpy county. It is to be hoped the Sarpy board of commissioners will do their part to ward repairing the bridge this time without being compelled to by the courts. n Cass county. !

Respectfully, IlF.NUY TllIKItOl.K B. & M, IMPROVEMENTS for Such an Enterprise. The Company Will Spend More Than Million Dollars In Lincoln This Year. Failed to Meet. The Cass county commissioners failprf to have a conference with the Sarpy county board Tuesday on ac count of the delay of trains. The train out of Omaha to Papillion was over two hours late and they did not arrive in Papillion until after the o'clock, in the meantime the Sarpy commissioners had concluded that the Cass county board was not coming and had adjourned. A meeting between the two county boards at Louisville will probably be arranged in the near future. SOMETHING VERY STRANGE The Lincoln News says that the "Hurlington railroad is getting ready to expend more than a million dollars in Lincoln and its vicinity in the near future. From time to time the News has been printing some of the facts abcut the plans under consideration by the road, and while none of the de tails can be given out, yet it can be stated In general terms that there will he considerable doing the next summer. "The trend of all modern railroad work is In the way of shortening lines and eliminating grades, and along with this is the establishment of the long-talked of new yards in Lincoln, In the case of the Burlington. "These yards would have been built The Journal has been reminded of this proposition by a visit from repre sentatives of tombstone manutaciur- ersof Lincoln. Omaha, and (llenwood, la . in the nast few days. It has been ---- w miite a number or years since an - - . . j tabllshment of this character exisiea In Plattsmouth. Since that time the population of Cass county has more than doubly uv creased in population, and as a natu ral consequence there are more deathB now than then and we can see no rea son why an establishment of this kind would not pay with the proper man agement. Thousands of dollars every year are paid out by citizens of this county that goes to these outsiders that could just as well as not remain at home. Here Is a county of 2"),000 Inhabit ants in which is alsn situated several good towns outside or l'lattsmouin, and not one tombstone manufactory within the limits of t he county. Can you name another instance of this character' Such enterprises exist In towns of . i i. l.lOO and 2000 Inhabitants arm mase money, and why not here we are una able to tell. Something Is radically wrong with our people If one cannot be made to pay here. People die In Cass county the same as they do In all other sections, and the money that would be paid out here for monuments and tombstones Is carried away to those other outside towns. Now, the Journal has but one Idea in view in publishing the above facts and that Is that they will meet tne eye of some experienced and enterpris ing manufacturer who is looking lor n Our Mothers. In the hurry and bustle of thi busy life those- dear old mothers, our best triemU and champions, who gae us ; the vt'i v best years of their lives, who " stood between us and all harm, who' would willingly have laid down their; lives for U'., who In times of sickness1 were always our ministering angels - constantly at our bedside, responding willingly to every beck and rail, at tending with more than loving kind ness to our ever want and need -are too often forgotted and seldom accord ed the loving attention which Is their due and when the grim reaper takes them from us, we, for the lirst time, realle In anguish, sorrow and regret what the loss of a mother really means. It means more than all the other things on earth. All the riches of the universe could not compensate, and In all the whole wide world there Is no other who can fill her place. Of all the beauty with which the world Is cmblished the most beautiful Is the mother, and to her every human being truly owes a world of homage.- Papil lion Times. IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE ?

DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL Conference Will Be Held In Lincoln in tlia Fore Fart of March. i KILLED IN LINCOLN YARDS By a Smooth Is Some One Trying to Play ; Game on Parties Here? Last week the Journal published an account of the death of Joe Doyle, a brother of Mrs. F. N. Rauen of this city, a dispatch having been received by her from Gold Fields, aevaaa, ap' prising her of this fact. Arrange ments had been made for his Inter ment here on Sunday, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rauen went to Omaha to accom pany the remains here. Then a ens patch was received telling them that the remains would be laid away there. Following is a reply to a lettetMrs. Rauen wrote asking for the particu lars of her brother's death, which would indicate that someone is en deavoring to play a smooth game, and it's hard to understand who it Is and for what purpose: Gold Fiki.d, New, Feb. 2, '0(1.

This stand of the property owners has necessitated the rearrangement of plans, and if these are not changed by some unforseen circumstances the yards will extend east and west rather than north and south, as originally intended. The work will be dovetailed Into that of the building of a double track to Mil ford, which will be the main line for the west and northwest roads. The problem of getting rid of several big hills is included in this scheme, and ont.il this has been worked out it is impossible to accurately forecast what will be done." Autos for Rural Postmen. The use of automobiles in rural free delivery work has received a fresh im pctus by reason of the decision of the postofflcc department authorizing the pmnlovmcnt of these vehicles by the ... r - j carriers, says the Pee. For several months there has been considerable opposition in the depart ment, it being the belief of the olllcl als that the automobile had not as yet reached a state of perfection which would warrant Its substitution for the horse-drawn vehicle. Their depend! bility and economy have been so thor oughly demonstrated that all opposl tion has been removed. The success which the well known curved dashboard runabout has scored In this work In various localities was a large factor in the final ruling. It has been demonstrated that one of those machines will not only do the work of one or even two horses, but will do it with a greater saving of time and at a cheaper cost of main tenance. The carrier equipped with one of these machines can complete the de livery of his mall and find leisure to carry on Independent work, thereby greatly enlarging his earning capacity.

The Lincoln News contains the following account of the killing oi Clarence Tlbbets Tuesday morning: dnrnnce Tibbets was run down and killed in the Rurllngton passcnt ger yards at 1:10 o'clock this morning. He was an employe of the road anu worked in the baggage department. He had been transferring baggage from train No. 13 but a few minutes before his body was discovered under the glare of the electric headlight on In coming No. 41. At the same time the engineer on this train saw the body lying on the track ahead of him. N Ight Yardmaster Shepard. coming from me freight yards to the passenger depot, walked up and was horrilied to sec that it was the remains of a man. A few minutes before the body was found Tlbbets had been working with other employes on the baggage trans fer. He had not been gone long enough to be missed from the gang of workers. Just before No. 41 pulled In light en gine No. 1U54 from the freight yard backed through the passenger yard on the way to the roundhouse. It was believed by the yard men that Tib bets either did not see this engine and walked In front of it, or t hat he tried to cross ahead of it, fell and was ground to pieces under the wheels. 1 1 was said this engine's bell was ringing and that It carried a red light on the tender while backing through the yards. "The body was not discovered until the powerful electric headlight on the engine pulling No. 41 l'ghted up the yard. The body was lying near the 1! street Intersection with the yards, and apparently had been dragged and rolled a considerable distance. The legs were cut off near the body, the trunk of the body was cut in two, and the body was so horribly mangled that it could not have been recognized ex cept by the clothing. J ust as the head light of the engine lighted up the track where the body was lying Night Yardmaster Shepard stepped out from behind a row of baggage cars onto the track within a few feet of the body. The awful sight presented caused him to shudder. The mangled remains had been st rewn along the track for a considerable distance and the clothing was torn, leaving exposed the mangled flesh. Clarence Tlbbets was about twenty- two years of ngc. He was known as Happy" among lilsassoclates because of Ids sunny disposition. He lived near 20th and O streets and Is said to have been the sole support of a widowed mother." lion. V. 11. Thompson, the demo cratic candidate for governor lour years ago, while in Lincoln the other day expressed himself as follows on t he campaign this fall: "The democrats will go into the campaign witli a splendid organiza tion and they have a good chance to elect a state ticket and members of the next legislature. I do not know whether the convention will endorse a candidate for the United States sen ate or not. This is a matter of poll tics and it will depend upon condi tions at that time." It has been generally talked that M r. Thompson would be a candidate before the convention for the senatorial en dorsement, but the Grand Island man does not discuss this for publication. It is understood though that W. J. Ilrvan would not accent the endorse- ment of ttic convention, and neither would he accept the office were it ten dered to him by the legislature. Chairman Allen of the democratic state committee says: "We will have our meeting in Lin coln during the lirst part of March, and at that meeting wc will perfect an organization capable of winning a victory in the coming election. It Is my impression that we will endorse a candidate for the senate, though, of course I cannot speak for the conven tion. We have not set the date of the meeting because we arc trying to get some outside speakers, and we will fix the time to suit them. Wc expect t( have Governor Folk of Missouri witli us that day." An old German farmer, and one who has tolled hard for what he possesses of this world's goods.callcd at the Jour nal office last week for the purpose of having an advertisement Inserted In the paper to the effect that his wife had "departed from his lied and board without any Just cause or provocation, and warning all persons not to harlmr or trust her on his account." After Interviewing the merchants In this city he found but one place where goods had been obtained by the use of his name, and after learning that the wife had taken her departure for the home of relatives and friends In Mich igan, he came to the conclusion that It was too late to do anything of that kind. The old fanner told a journal repor ter that liis wife had no just cause for vacating his llreside, but that she had not only done that but that she had carried away with her several hundred dollars of his hard earned money with out his consent. After he had learned of this fact he began an Investigation and found several other valuables about his home had disappeared. The counle have been married for a number of years and had accumulated quite a little property -In fact they wpri comfortably situated. '1 lie wife had become 111 natural and almost un bearable around the home, and It seems she would listen to the advice of none of her friends. She became disgusted with her lot, and the hiw band had become sick and tired of the manner in which ho was treated by her. Evidently both had come to the final conclusion to sever tho tie that bound them together and eacli go their own way In the future.

Very Disgusting. The Fremont Herald speaks our mc-ii-timents exactly In the following arti cle: "An Omaha newspaper Is collect ing live cents each from people who de sire to have their names attached to a wedding telegram which the news paper will send to Alice Roosevelt on the day of her marriage. It U to to regret ted that In Nebraska there should be made such a display of In decency. It savors too much of the attitude of the subjects of a monarchy. Every citizen will wish that the daugh ter of our president may have a happy married life. Such Is the wlt.li of all Americans In behalf of every Ameri can girl upon her wedding day.

Fricke & Co.'s drug store. The supreme court lias asked for oral argument on a law point relating to the procedure for the forcing of col lection of a tax on the reserve fundsof fraternal Insurance societies. This Is deemed by some attorneys evidence that the court has already satisfied that such a tax can legally be Imposed but that further light is desired in re gard to the method of procedure. Com mission No. 2 heard oral argument In the mandamus suit instituted by At torney General Ilrown to compel the county clerk of Iouglas county to ex tend on the tax books about M.OOu.ooo worth of property belonging to the Woodmen of the World and the Wood men Circle. Ihiefs were also tiled with Din commission and an opinion was. written and given to the court. Now the courts asks the attorneys to argue the point raised by the defense that the state should have appealed from the order of the county board exclud ing the most of the property from tax ation Instead of instituting mandamus proceedings against County Clerk Drcxcl. Tho argument will be heard this morning. The state board of as sessment Is sued an order that the pro perty of fraternal companies In the form of a reserve fund or securities shall be taxed. County Assessor Heed had failed to comply, but finally the county hoard ordered a small amount of tangible property owned by the so ciety placed on t lie tax list. Tills did not satisfy the state board and man i :iinlK ni'ocee diiiLTS were Instituted In the supreme court. The right of the state to tax such property has been raised In a different kind of a suit In Hamilton county where the county assessor listed prop erty of the Uoyal Highlanders at about $.".00,000. The Insurance society ap pealed from the order of tho county board and tho case Is now under con sideration beforo the district court of that county. Home Builder Hints. Don't forget that a poorly planned and poorly built house costs Just us much as the other kind. Don't try to get your house built for less than it Is worth. You will be the loser. Don't scrimp your building any where, or forget your wife's comfort when you plan your house. Don't exnect to heat a poorly built house ccomically. Don't omit to double your lirst lloor It will pay In comfort, hcaltlifulncss and fuel. Don't try to build a $.1,000 house for :i,(M)0 and don't expect It of your architect. It can't be done. Don't get the poorest builder you can lind because he Is "cheapest You will be the one to regret It. Don't undertake to see how cheap you can build, but how well. Don't get good architecture and dry goods boxes mixed. There Is a wide difference In their selling value. M. A. Anderson Loses Life In Accident on Missouri Pacific at Falls City.
