1 HAVELQCK HAVING TROUBLE The License Question Seems to Absorb all Interest. ; The Lincoln Evening News says that great excitement prevailed in llaveluck Saturday and croups of citi zens were observed on every corner in the business portion of the city dis cussing in more or less heated lang uage the one topic of interest in that municipality at present. Allot this unwonted activity and heat comes about through the reopen ing of the saloon question, which it was thought had been settled at the recent election, when the license proposition was defeated by l! votes. Members of the Ilavelock anti-saloon league were In the city Saturday con sulting with officers of the state league in regard to the matter, and from what Is related by them It would seem that the matter lacks a great deal of being a closed incident as yet. The petitions of the saloon men for licenses were presented to the council at Its meeting Friday night, the mayor and the four members of the council being present. W. I).

What About That Celebration? Several ot our business men have signified their willingness to donate liberally to a celebration on the Fourth of July. These gentlemen, however, give for everything that comes along that is calculated to draw people to Plattsmouth. It is the fellows who never give, but generally reap the ben efits of what other business men pay for. 1 1 Is an outrage that such a state of affairs exist, but it Is true just the same. We should have a celebration this year, and we should not delay preparations for the same. We cannot afford to stand back on account of the "small fellows" who refuse to assist. Let's get to work and hustle for a eel ebratlonon the glorious Fourth that will cln J'lal tsmiiuLli proud. j It is possible to obtain relief from chronic Indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of Kodol for Dyspepsia.

Carl Jorgeson has brought suit against the Omaha Evening News for libel, and asks the sum of lo,om, The suit grows out of an article printed In that paper accusing a number of people of illegal registration the day before the late municipal election, and Jorgeson was one of those mentioned. Itisa wonder that more suits have not been brought against that paper for its many nasty sayings against democratic candidates. The News pretends to be an independent journal, yet at every election It Is lined up for the republican ticket, through which medium the republicans manage to enlist to do their dirty work In Omaha city elections. Outside of the metrop olis the News has but precious little Inlluence. In conversation wit ha fanner patron of the Journal Tuesday who told us that he contemplated soon to remove to one of the counties In the western part of the state. When wo asked him why he was going to make this move he said that for the past live years he had made a big effort to buy him a farm In Cass county, where he had been a renter for ten vears and that be hud failed to do so on account of the rapid rise in real estate, lie also told us that during his residence In Cass county, besides paying the usual rent demanded by land owners In this sect Ion of Nebraska, he had managed to save up several thousand dollars, bill that bylhotlme he had bought even forty acres he would have nothing left to stock Hie same as he would like to do, and added: "lam going to take a trip to the central and western part of the state Just as soon as my crops are laid by, with a view of buying a farm of about two hun dred and forty or fifty acres for what a forty acre farm will cost me here. I know of several former Cass county farmers doing this nearly three years ago and they are there now w ith ex cellent homes and making money." We know this to be the case, lie cause we arc sending the Journal to a large number of farmers who left here two and three years ago, and I bey re port to us of t he excellent crops they have raised and ttie prosperity they are meeting with. It Is not the de sire of the Journal to encourage peo ple to leave Cass county, but there Is no iiuestion that while land Is at least two-thirds cheaper in many of the western counties in Nebraska t ban It can possibly be bought for here, it, is certainly a golden opportunity for the renting farmers to take advantage of. Vuite a number of residents of Cass county are most favorably impressed with the productive soil of Custer county, and several former residents of this county are already located in that county, and they arc well pleased with the soli and climate. Messrs. C. C. Parnielc and J. G. Klcliey returned from Custer county a few days since where they Invested In about him) acres of farm lands, and they are of the opinion that now Is the proper time to make Investments, as it Is gradu ally Increasing in value, and will con tinue to do so until it will be rated almost as high as farmlands in Cass county. The soil of course varies, the same as In all other counties, but the most of It is as productive as a great deal of the soil In this county. Mr. I'armeleand Mr. Rlchey have been so well pleased witli the outlook for Cus ter county that previous to the pur chase of the M) acre tract they bought and sold at an advanced price over ,'.(oo acres, upon which arc now set tled a number of prosperous farmers who arc more than well pleased with the bargains received at the hands of these gentlemen. As stated in the beginning of this article we would like to sec all the people who contemplate a change, re main In t his county, but If they are bound and determined to seek a home elsewhere, the Journal does not te- lieve they will tin! a better county In which to locate than Custer, where the laud mostly lays smooth, the soil adapted to the growing of almost any crop grown elsewhere and the climate excellent. It will, at any rate, pay to investigate before buying In any other locality. Popular Play of the Season. Now that the play, "When Knight hood was in Finder," has come and k'one, those who were mi exceedingly fortunate as to attend are musing and dreaming oxer this wonderful and fascinating product ion by Virginia Drew Trescott, Ho delightfully entertained anil amused the large au dience preskiit Tuesday at the 1'ar- mele. This charmlmr romance bv Major, and dramatized by 1'aul Krster, was most vividly portrayed by Miss Trescott as Mary Tudor, who from a display of a proud, refractory and un relenting temper assumed the passive and submissive disposit ion of a lover, and later appeared as the majest Ic and Imposing queen of France. The char acter of Henry the Eighth was most excellently Interpreted by Jos. Slaytor, who displayed the avaricious and vacillating temperment of that sover eign. John J. Farrell in the role of Charles llrandon, was unsurpassable, and won (he sympathy of the entire house by bis attempts to repress his love for the king's sister, by his reso lute and brave denial of any relation with Mary Tudor when questioned by the guards, and by his precarious posi tion when they were overtaken by the king. The entire portraiture of the play was excellent and has only a few equals among the late productions. Hives, eczema, Itch or salt rheum sets you cray. Can't hear the touch of your clothing.

Illshop llonacuin of Lincoln, as the next archbishop of the Roman Cath olic church In the western part of the t 'nlted States, Is among the possibili ties of the Immediate future, says the Omaha News. His friends In the priesthood and the episcopacy arc strongly urging his claims for this high honor. Friends of liishop Scannell of Oma ha have been desirous for some limn that lie should receive the appoint ment, but the announcement is made by several of the supporters of Illshop llonacum that the latter will probably secure the archbishopric. Considerable trouble has developed In years gone by In the Lincoln diocese between I'.ishop llonacum and son.e of the priests, but it is said that lliese differences have been adjusted. ( )ne of t lie most prominent priest s in the western church said: "There Is room for another archbishopric west of the Missouri, and it is felt in Rome that the capital city of Ne braska is the proper place for the metropolitan see. "Ecclesiastical politics are a great, deal like worldly politics. The favor- lies of today are the has-beens of to morrow, liishop Itonacum has grown greatly of late In the estimation of the archbishops of the count ry by his pru dence and ability." Archbishop Kane has jurisdiction over the Nebraska diocese, and in the event of the creation of the new see, the territory will be divided, and both the Lincoln and Omaha dioceses will he under the jurisdiction of the new archbishop, .is well as several other western dioceses. School Teachers. State .Superintendent McRrlen Is of the opinion that the standard of teach ers In Nebraska for the coming year will be much higher than ever before and that salaries will be correspond ingly Increased says the Lincoln News. School officers who now have compe tent teachers under thclrdlrectlon are retaining them for the coming year as far as possible, while those whoare not thoroughly capable are being dispensed with and their places tilled with higher priced instructors. Thiscampalgn for good teachers extends all over the state. nc of the county superinten dents out In the Interior of the state says: " n account of the scarcity, the good, experienced teachers will com mand 10, 111 and $.m per month. They ought to have It, too. It Is not wise to hire young girls below eighteen years of age. I fear there will be a number In the county applying for schools. They should go to school un tlll they arc more mature. Select your teacher with great care, pay her well, provide liberally good text books, libraries, clean, attractive school rooms with comfortable desks, then accept nothing but the best results." Validity of Deed Confirmed. In the case of Noyes Palmer vs. John Lane, ct al., the Issue was found in favor of the plaintiff yesterday evening, and the deed conveying the property involved, was continued. Tills case grew out of a question as to the validity of a deed made by the defendants conveying some property located inthlscltv, to the plaintiff. After the deed had been made, the defendant was sent to the Insane Asy lum at Lincoln, and his wife Insti tuted proceedings to recover posses sion of the said property on the grounds that her husband was not competent at the time he drew up the deed. The defense the court over ruled and the validity of the deed was confirmed by the court. New Tan Curtains and Curtain goods at Herold's. 1
