Throughout tho Stato It Would Seem That Loss
Than a Half Voto Was Polled.
THE RESULT IN
Vihilo Still in Doubt, It Loobs Favorablo for
Dcoson, Robertson and Farloy on tho
Republican Side.
There being but one candidate for
each office on the democratic ticket, of
course there was but little inducement
for the democrats to turn out and con
sequently the vote of that party was
very light. Not so with the republicans
with the exception of county clerk,
treasurer and county assessor, and while
tbe campaign was quite spirited in the
race for the nominations for county
judge, clerk of the district court and
county superintendent of schools, it
seems from the returns that a little less
than a half vote of that party came
out to vote. In this city the vote was
very light and the same can be said of
several precincts. From present indi
cations and reports, it appears that
Beeson for judge, Robertson, clerk of
the district court and Farley for county
superintendent of schools, are nominat
ed although further returns may change
this statement.
In this city but little interest was man
ifested it seems and this probably was
the cause for a light vote. Farley re
ceived quite a majority in this city, but
not near what he anticipated, consider
ing this has been his home for nearly
fourteen years.
It seems pretty hard to pry Robertson
loose from the court house walls. He
has been there so long, but as the vote
in this instance would indicate the re
publicans are getting pretty tired of
keeping one man there so long. Had
there been anything near a full vote
out the result might have been other
wise. The democrats have in the per
son of C. E. Metzger, a candidate for
this office who will give him a hard scrap
in this attempt to jar him loose from the
soft p!ace he is occupying and from the
manner in which the republicans failed
to endorse him at the primary, it is not
going to be a hard matter to do.
The manner in which Farley secured
the appointment for county superintend
ent does not set well with many repub
licans in Cass county. Besides he is not
qualified for the position in this intelli
gent age, and those who voted against
him at the primary are very well aware
of the fact. His opponent on the dem
ocratic ticket, Miss Mary E. Foster, is
an accomplished lady, one of the ablest
in the county, and abundantly well qual
ified to look after the district schools of
the county, nearly everyone of which
are conducted by lady teachers.
There was no opposition for sheriff,
assessor, coroner or surveyor on the re
publican ticket. This being . the case,
the tickets nominated as reported up to
the hour of going to press, is about as
follows:

The majorities on the county republi
can ticket so far as heard from is esti
mated as follows: Beeson, 50; Robert
son, 75; Farley, 100. Zink for com
missioner, is thought to be nominated
by a small majority.
Reports from Nebraska City are to
the effect that Warren, for district
judge on the republican ticket has car
ried Otoe county by an estimated
majority of 289. t

THE GLAD MAUD
TO LOOMS.
Fremont Candidate Pleased
With Reception at Platts
mouth on Labor Day.
Fremont Dally Herald.j
"I was very much pleased and im
pressed with the warmth of hospitality
and the courtesies of the Plattsmouth
people, .' said George L. Loomis yester
day, speaking of his speech on Labor
Day.
"They treated me with marked
courtesy, and I was given a fine recep
tion there. I liked the people very much
and found them deeply interested in
the questions. It was a fine gathering
of people, and a number of excellent
speeches were made." .
He Set a Date
A merchant in a town not a thousand
miles from Plattsmouth who had a
Swedish clerk, sent him out to do some
collecting. When he returned from an
unsuccessful trip he reported :
"Yim Yonson say he vill pay ven he
sells his hogs. Yim Oleson, he vill pay
ven he sell him wheat and Bill Pack say
he vill pay in Yanuary."
"Well, "said the boss, "that's the first
time Bill ever set a date to pay. Did he
really say he would pay it in January?"
"Veil, aye tank so," said the clerk.
"He say it ban a dam cold day ven you
get that money. Aye tank that ban in
Yanuary."
Millions More for Farmers. .
The report comes direct from New
York that the American farmers' earnings-
are a thousand million dollars
greater this year, than lastr-'ccordihg
to preliminary report on crops which
will be published in the next issue xf
the t American -Agriculturist. The big
gain will be entirely due to the in
creased prices of farm products, as the
production in general will be fully 10
per cent less in quantity than in 1906
which was the bumper year.
"The farmer was never in so healthy
a position as he is today, financially,
socially, politically, mentally and spir
itually," says the report. "The increase
in the value of his real estate has been
prodigious. He owes less money than
ever before." Again the farmers' wants
are greater. He is in the market for
more and better breediug stock, farm
implements, household goods and other
merchandise."
HOT AS TOUCH
, AS IT USED TO DE
Louisvillo lias a Reccrd fcr
Preachers and Candidates.
Louisville turns out more preachers
to the square inch than any other town
in Nebraska. Next Sunday evening
the members of the M. E. church will
have the pleasure of listening to a dis
course by Rev. Fred Erwin, a Louisville
boy who abandoned a very prominent
career as a base ball pitcher for the
ministry. Fred . used to put some
pretty hot ones over the plate when he
played with Louisville and if his arm is
a good now we may look for him to
score a few runs for the gospel. " Then
there is Matt Delezene, another Louis
ville product who is studying for the
ministry. And a short time ago Charley
Mclntire and his wife, both of them
mind you, experienced a "call" to
preach. They went to the Free Meth
odist conference and were assigned the
pastorate at Lynch, in Boyd county.
Now you fellows who have for years
been pointing to Louisville as one of
the toughest towns in the state, please
stand up and confess that you were
mistaken. Instead of Louisville being
a tough joint we come nearer Deing en
titled to the credit of conducting a
seminary for the education of ministers.
And if you would have further proof
look if you will to the candidates for
county office on the prohibition ticket:
For county treasurer, Peter A. Jacob-
l son; tor county clerk, rranK Ingram;
for clerk of the district court, James L. I
Delezene; for commissioner, William j
Wade, all of Louisville. Courier.. '
The Red Men on Labor Day
We had more things to say yesterday
than we had space to say them, and as
a consequence had to curtail some of
the articles, others were left out al
together. We had intended to have
given a full report of all the attractions
and to have omitted none, but space
would not allow. In the parade of
which we did not say anything, were
a number of very good floats, among
which was John Hall's H. M. Soennich-
sen s, Li. is. fcigenberger s and the steam
laundry. Together with . this was the
Red Men, which reminded one of a sure
band of red skins, led by J. C. York,
who in his make-up looked a sure
enough Indian, the others were also
good representations of the noble red
men and was a good advertisement for
the order they represented.
State Fair Visitors.
Among those who are attending the
state fair today, going on the special,
which went on the old main line, were
the following: Charles Warner and wife,
Wm. Warga and Wife, W. E. Dull, H.
R. Manspeaker, C. D. Clatfelter, George
Berger from Murray, J. A. Kiser from
Mynard, Ed. Perry, Eddie Vallery,
Henry Hull, Lizzie Bergman, F. G.
Egenberger and wife, Russell Todd,
Jacob Treitch and wife, J. Bergman, F.
Kauffman, John Rutherford, Walter
Baumeister, August Gorder, Paul Wol
forth, Mark White, W. C. Hamilton, I.
S. White, Ben Horning, Walter Goche
nuer, A. G. Bach, Claus Speck, Ed
Spangler and wife, George and Henry
Volk, Peter Munn, L. L. Wiles and

A. L. Todd and wife, Mrs. Lonnie Todd,
Mrs. E. R. Todd, Lafe Nelson and wife
and a brother-in-law, J. E. McCarthy,
Jacob Parr, Frank Benfer and wife,
Chas. Perry, Ed. Perry, C. D. Spangler,
Mrs. . Adam Stoehr, .Mrs.- C. W.
Stoehr, Miss Cora Meisinger. What
the management at the state fair does
not know about the raising of crops and
the manufacturing of useful articles,
they can learn by interviewing any of
the above named people, all of whom
are representative citizens of the
county which has no superior in the
state of Nebraska, and there is not
another state in the union which sur
passes our own.
The New Pure Food and Drug Law.

J. 17. DEWEESE
PASSES AWAY
General Solicitor for the Bur
lington West of the Mis
souri River.
Joel W. Deweese, aged 63 years, at
torney for the Burlington railroad, who
has lived in Lincoln since 1879, is dead.
He died shortly after noon Tuesday of
cancer of the stomach and liver after
an illness extending over a period of al
most a year. Mr. Deweese leaves a
widow, two sons and two daughters.
AH live in Lincoln except Wilford De
weese, who resides at Oxford. Funeral
arrangements will be announced later.
Mr. Deweese was originally of the
firm of Marquette, Deweese & Hall, but
upon the death of Mr. Marquette he
became the solicitor for the Burlington.
He was regarded by members of the
bar as a lawyer of exceptional ability
and was unusually successful in litiga
tions affecting the railroads. He was
of a modest disposition and of a religi
ous turn, teaching a class in the First
Christian Sunday school and giving
liberally of his means to charity. He
came to Lincoln from Newton, la.,
where he practiced law.
Some weeks ago Mr. Deweese became
worse and went to Wisconsin to consult
a specialist about his health. Shertly
after he arrived there he became criti
cally ill and his family was notified. He
managed to get home just a few days
ago.
Gasoline Stove Tank Leaked
This morning while breakfast was in
process , of preparation, the gasoline
stove at the home of Will Rice caught
fire by the leaking of the tank. In an
instant the flames were rolling up and
soon covered the stove and filling the
room with fire and smoke. Will grabbed
the stove and rushed out of the house
with it in order to save the house and
its contents, which he did. In doing so
he received very serious burns on his
right hand. He made haste in getting
to a physician and having the member
dressed, but not until immense blisters
had formed over his entire hand. This
accident will keep him from work for a
long time and is very painful as well.
FALLS FROM SECOND
STORY WINDOW
And in the Fall Cuts One of
His Feet Pretty Badly.
A small boy by the name of Jordan,
son of James Jordan, who lives on the
Speck island, below the city, had
very peculiar and painful accident hap
pen him yesterday. While doing some
thing in the second story of the house
he by some means fell out of the upper
window, and while descending, his foot
struck one of the lower windows,
breaking the glass and inflicting a very
painful cut in his left foot, just across
the instep. His father in all haste
came to the city, bringing his son with
him, with bandages and compressions
to staunch the flow of blood. Arriving
here he had the wound dressed and in
the closing of the wound it required
five stitches. The little fellow is rest
ing as well as would be expected, but it
will be a long time before his foot is
well again.
Agreeably Surprised.
The members of Oak Leaf camp No.
424s, of Murray, very agreeably sur
prised Mr. and Mrs. O. V. Virgin yes
terday afternoon, it being their fifth
wedding anniversary day, Mrs. Virgin
being Receiver of the camp.
After spending the afternoon socially
a two course lunch was served, after
which all wended their way homeward,
wishing each succeeding anniversary
would be as pleasant.
A Painful Uncertainty.
In case of sickness of a member of
your family, everybody is anxious to
help. Everything is done to relieve the
suffering of the sick person and a medi
cine is suggested. You hurry to the
drug store and back, full of that pain
ful uncertainty, whether or not the
medicine will have the desired effect.
There was only one instance where
there is no doubt as to the results, and
that is Triner's American Elixir of Bit
ter Wine in all cases of maladies of the
stomach and of the bowels. It not only
gives instant relief, but will gradually
perfectly cure the patient; it will give
them a healthy appetite, will regulate
the action of the bowels and strengthen
all digestive organs. By making the
digestion thorough, it will renew all
blood, give new strength to the muscles
and nerves, activity to the brain, a rosy
hue to your skin. To healthy patrons
it will preserve and increase their vigor
and ambition. At drug stores. Jos.

r:oT a dosto: tea
PARTY HOWEVER
Out Cups and Teapots Ron
Vith Sorr.o Effect Just
tho Same
We have always thought discretion
was sometimes the better part of valor,
and one of the instances as it comes to
us at this time is, when you can not get
along with the wife of your bosom, it
is better to let- her have her own way,
or dissolve the matrimonial bands
which have connected you and let her
sail her ship into whatever port she
may and you do the same, rather than
continue a bushwhacking warfare, to
the disgrace and disadvantage of you
both. There is a family living not a
thousand miles from this town who got
into a discussion the other morning, and
the subject drew the tension so tightly
and relations .were so strained that
snap they must, as the pop valve
of their wrath was screwed down.
As the words passed the flash of the
eyes of the husband and wife as they
sat opposite at breakfast told that war
was about to break. When the wife,
with a less kindly light in her eye than
beamed there when the honeymoon was
young, intimated her unbelief in a cer
tain remark her spouse had made, this
aroused the ire of her husband to the
extent that he said if she repeated the
remark he would hurl a teacup at her.
Her reply was: "You are a coward
and afraid to do it!" Hardly had the
words left her mouth when whack went
the cup and struck her on the head,
being shattered into fragments, cutting
her head open with many gashes, which
required the art of the physician to re
store. The wiley husband started to
run but had only gotten his back turned
when the teapot was hurled, striking
the retreating figure full in the back of
his neck, and running down hi3 neck
and back, scalding as it went. Here
the hostilities ended. This kind of a
procedure .does not seem to us to speak
well for members of a civilized com
munity. A Very Successful Session
The Nebraska State Veterinary As
sociation which met at Lincoln last Tues
day, September 3, was well attended,
there being about eighty delegates pres
ent. An enthusiastic meeting was held
and a permanent organization effected,
with Dr. A. P. Barnes of this place as
president and treasurer and B. H. Burd
of Nelson was chosen secretary. The
organization has members in one hun
dred and three different localities which
covers all portions of the state. The
association will take up the questions of
necessary and unnecessary legislation.
The latter being one which has caused
to some extent, the springing into ex
istance of the association. Dr. Barnes
has been a hustler for the organization
and it is through his efforts, as much as
anyone, that the successful meeting
which was just closed, was able to do
the good work which it did. If the doc
tor can inspire the same rustling spirit
into his fellow workers which he evinces
himself, he will work a great amount of
good for the profession in the near fu
ture. We hope the organization may do '
some good work.
Will Hold Family Frolic.
The members of the P. E. O. society
and their husbands will hold a family
frolic in the park at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Pollock tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon, which is to mark
the beginning of the coming year's
work. The picnic will begin early in
the afternoon and end with the supper
hour, which will be served on the lawn,
and a very enjoyable time is anticipa- j
ted. During the summer they have a
vacation from work of the society, and !
this eathering marks the betrinnine of
the winter's work.
Married Twenty-Five Years.
On last Monday, at the pleasant home
of Mr. and Mrs. George M apes occurred
a very pleasant gathering, marking the
twenty-fifth mile stone of their married
life. Many of their .relatives and
friends gathered to make merry with
them, and extend felicitations and con
gratulations on the arrival of the happy
couple at their twenty-fifth year of
their married life. A number of very
useful presents were given and the best
wishes for the future were extended by
all who were in attendance.
UP the rus-
soum muEn
Looks at Navigation in True
Light of the Matter.
The St. Louis Republic, in speaking
of navigation up the Missouri river, has
the Allowing to say in reference, to the
laudable movement:
"With a safely navigable channel in
! WU80un r,ver a8 Iar UP umana nu
Sioux City we should hear no more talk
of a coal famine in the northwest dur
ing the blizzard season.
"From the mines of Illinois, close to
the river, barges would, during the sum
mer and early fall, carry all the coal
needed to distributing points along the
river, whence the railroads would carry
it by short hauls to the neighborhood in
which it is burned.
"With such a channel the hundreds of
millions of bushels of grain and the
hundreds of thousands of cattle and
hogs grown in the productive states of
the Missouri valley would be marketed
at a saving of freight rates that would
build up the wealth of those states at a
rate hitherto unthought of. With such
a channel in the Missouri, rails, ties and
other material of railroad construction
and repair could be conveyed cheaply
by water to Kansas City, Omaha and
intermediate points, for distribution to
the roads east and west of the river.
There would be a great saving to the
roads in transporting this material, and
the congestion of their land traffic would
be relieved.
"If the state of New York can by the
expenditure of $100,000,000 make a
channel twelve feet deep in its Erie
Canal, the Uuited States can assuredly
by the expenditure of that sum make a
similar channel in the Missouri river.
To the commerce of Missouri valley
states the betterment of navigation
would be worth ten times the expendi
ture." BARfJUr.1 & BAILEY'S
Many Local People Arranging
to Visit the Famous Show
The Barnum & Baiiey greatest show
on earth exhibits at Nebraska City on
September (th., and Omaha, Monday,
September 9th.
The railroads have made announce
ment of reduced rates and already
numerous circus parties have arranged.
Especial interest attaches to the Bar
num & Bailey show day this year, not
only because of the popular belief that
it is the larirest combined circus, men
agerie and hippodrome in the world.
Probably the most remarkable of the
new acts is the thrilling feat of Capt.
Carl Howelson, who sails fifty feet
through the air mounted on eight-foot
skees. Another startling act that has
I created comment and wonder, is known
j as the "Dip of Death." In this start-
ling act a heavy road car flies forty feet
through space, with machine and driver
j actually upside down.
J The performance opens with a gor
igeous spectacle entitled "Peace." It is
I founded upon the Russo-Japanese war
and describes, in an allegorical way.
j the president's
successful efforts to
bring about peace between the
war-
ring armies in the East. The circus
performance follows. There are three
rings, two stages, a quarter-mile hip
podrome track and a series of immense
aerial spaces, and all are utilized by the
300 European and American artists in
the circus company. The sensational
features are intersperced throughout
the arenic program.
The zoological display, which forms a
vestibule for the main exhibition, i3 de
clared to be especially notable this year
from the fact that it serves to display
a remarkable heard of giraffes, the only
bi-homed rhinoceros in the United States
and many other rare animals, together
with three herds of trained elephants
and huudreds of other interesting wild
beasts.
The Governor's Wife.
The foolish gush of the newspapers
must be embarassing to people of sense.
For instance, one of the city dailies
came out the other xlay and said that
when the servants in the household of
Governor Sheldon left their jobs, the
mistress put on a work apron and got
supper. Why not mention the fact
that a great many other Nebraska wo
men do the same every day in the year?
Why not add to that that the majority
of women in Nebraska are capable of
doing the family washing
when neces
probably a
sary? Mrs. Sheldon is
i sensible lady who grew up in a home
j where girls were taught to work. She
can no doubt get up a square meal or
do any other part of the necessary
household duties if she has to, and
there are others. Beatrice Sun.
. While all the above may be true,
there has not been a governor's wife
that, would, if they could, do this act.
since the pioneer days. Mrs. Sheldon
is an accomplished lady, as well as a
good cook, both of which - go to make
p a good wife. If the governor's
mansion had been presided over by
more ladies of Mrs. Sheldon's kind, the
state would have been better off.
