James Walker, charged with assult ing his wife, who spent several weeks in the county jail pending the action of the grand jury, was released last Fri day, the jury evidently believing he had been sufficiently punished. While he languished in durance vile, his wife had filed application for divorce, and had returned to her former home in Plattsmouth. Walker returned immedi ately to Emerson, and for some reason, I whether it was disappointment in not finding his wife here, or jubilation in his release from jail, he proceeded at once to get a glorious "jag" on, and spent at the depot, dead to the world, and with his joys and sorrows all drowned in the oblivion of inebriation. He is an unfortunate man anyway one looks at the matter, and one cannot but pity a man of such powerful phy sique who is so weak willed as to be a slave to the drink habit. Emerson (Iowa) Chronicle. FIRST GAME ON II0L1E GROUNDS While Our Boys Were Greatly Out Classed in Size, They Put Up a Good Game. In the game of last Saturday, at the local grounds between the Plattsmouth high school team and the South Omaha high school team, the South Omaha team won. This was the first game of the season, and one well played by both teams. The South Omaha reached the goal by a tally of 8, while the local team scored G, though both played an excel lent game. When one takes into.consideration the difference in the size of the Omaha team and that of our own high school boys, ic is not to be wondered that they were defeated, while it must be ac knowledged that the home boys put up one of the best games that was ever played on the home grounds. As to size, our boys were greatly outclassed, everyone of the South Omaha team be ing much larger than anyone of the home team, and yet the score denotes that they "played ball" from the word go. While the crowd was very fair, the Journal regrets to learn that quite a number attempted to sneak in without paying a cent. It is not expected that the boys will make any more than will just barely pay the expense attached to these games, and if a person feels so much interested in ball playing they should be willing to pay the small price of 25 cents to see a game, rather than put some of those interested in our home team to go to them after they have sneaked in and made to pay. We are pleased to note that Superin tendent Gamble and Principal Brooks both take great interest in the high school team, and our citizens should in terest themselves also. Many who have witnessed the boys play, say that it is the best team of its inches that ever was organized in Plattsmouth, and people should at least be willing to pay to see a game, and in this way aid the boys, if they cannot afford to "chip in" and help them otherwise. Next Saturday the Nebraska City high school team will play the home team cn the local grounds, and it is to be hoped cur people will turn oat en masse and thus encourage the boys. Ey this kind of encouragement we can and will have, before the season ends, one cf the best young ball teams in the state. The people cf the city cannot help but notice how much smoother the High School Athletic association has been conducted curing the past year than for several years previous, ar.d they very readily perceive that the past difricul- ties were nor. aitogeiner eausca oy tne high school pupils.

He says: "An attack of pneumonia left me so weak with such a fearful cough that my friends declared consumption had me,- and death was on my heels.
