The Last Payment
Rev. F. C. Campbell, of University
Place, who. a number of years since,
was the" minister of the Methodist
church at this place, and while here
succeeded in having the debt paid which
had been hanging over the church, today
sent Rev. Salsbury a draft for $25.00,
being the last of the debt of the Presby
terian church. While here about a year
since at the semi-centennial jubilee of
the Methodist church, he said he would
pay the last twenty-five dollars on the
debt, and has made good. Not alone in
this payment, but the taking of a step
toward a closer union of the different
branches of the church.

Perry Utterback has opened a short
order restaurant in the rear of the

MONSTER PARADE
OF WOODMEN
One of the Largest Parade in
the History of the
Capital City.
A special from Lincoln, under date of
yesterday, says: After giving one of
the largest parades in the history of the
capital city, the Modern Woodmen teams
this afternoon competed for prizes, ad
opted a thousand members at the Audi
torium tonight and listened to an elo
quent address by William J. Bryan.
The parade began at 1:30 p. m. and
lasted for almost two hours. Each
camp bore a resplendent banner and the
streets were artistically decorated in
honor of the visitors.
Word has been received that Head
consul Talbot has been indorsed by
thirty-eight state conventions. These
gatherings were held simultaneously
with the Nebraska demonstration.
Mr. Bryan advocated loyalty to fra
ternalism and eulogized the unselfish
aims of the organization.
James Davis of Ansley was elected
head consul today.
P. L. Ough of Benkleman was chosen
state clerk.
Fremont was selected as the next
meeting place of the head camp in 1911.
The contests resulted as follows:
Competition in drill, senior class:
Omaha camp No. 120, Captain Martens,
first prize, $100; Havelock No. 1222,
second place, $50; Junior class, Lincoln
No. 190, first" piace, $75; Wisner No.
1061, second place, $35; Pony class, Lin
coln No. 916, first place, $15; band con
test, George Green's band of Omaha,
first place, $50; delegation contest, Om
aha camp No. 120, first place, and Om
aha No. 945, second place.
Dr. E. W. Cook was recommended
for the same position he now occupies
Deputy Head Physician for Nebraska,
and as he is a personal friend of Head
Consul A. R. Talbot, his selection seems
sure. Dr. Cook has hosts of friends in
Plattsmouth, who like the Journal, think
there is nothing too good for our fellow
citizen. The following delegates were
elected to National Convention at Peo
ria, Illinois, from the First district:
Henry Gering, Plattsmouth, Ralph E.
Johnson, Lincoln; Rolla H. George,
Lincoln; William Griffith, Lincoln; J.
G. Albert, Cook, Alternates: J. M.
Anderson, Johnson; F. C. Nicholson,
Nebraska City; J. G. P. Hildebrand,
Lincoln; O. Wachtel, Falls City; Fred
H. Barclay, Pawnee City.
A transportation committee consist
ing of Ralph E. Johnson of Lincoln,
Henry R. Gering of Plattsmouth, and
W. H. Dorrance of Omaha were select
ed to arrange for the railroad accom
modations and route to Peoria. The
delegation expects to go in a body,
starting from either Lincoln or Omaha.
While Plattsmouth did not capture
any of the prizes, we feel highly honor
ed in the recognition received by Mayor
Gering and Dr. Cook.
The Plattsmouth team made a good
appearance, in their new suits, and was
the equal of any at the convention.
The boys are well pleased with them,
and surely are deserving of same for
the good work the have done. They
returned this morning about six-thirty,
and report having had an excellent time
saying there wera over four thousand
Woodmen in the procession, which was
led by W. J. Bryan. All the boys are
very enthusiastic, and are ready to
take up the home work with even more
vigor, if possible, than heretofore.
It Reached the Spot.
Mr. E. Humphrey, who owns a large
general store at Omega, O., and is
president of the Adams County Tele
phone Co., as well as of the Home
Telephone Co., of Pike County, O.,
says of Dr. King's New Discovery: "It
saved may life once. At least I think
it did. It seemed to reach the spot
the very seat of my cough, when
everything else failed." Dr. King's
New Discovery not only reaches the
cough spot; it heals the sore spots and
the weak spots in throat, lungs and
chest. Sold under guarantee at F. G.
Fricke & Co., drug store. 50c. and $1.00.

Another Voter for Plattsmouth.
At the home of E. E. Hetherton this
morning, there came a young man, who
was an applicant for a member of the
household, and who was taken care of
in the most approved manner. The lit
tle fellow is attaching himself to a
j nation the greatest on earth and in
j doing so, becomes an American, and as
' one will always rejoice in the land of his
! nativity. There is much rejoicing in
the household by both the parents, as
well as by Grandpa Davis, who is pretty
well pleased. The mother and baby do
ing nicely.
Valued Same as Gold.
B. G. Stewart, a merchant of Cedar
View, Miss., says: "I tell my custom
ers when they buy a box of Dr. King's
New Life Pills they get the worth of
that much gold in weight, if afflicted
with constipation, malaria or bilious
ness." Sold under guarantee at F. G.
Fricke & Co., drug store. 25c.
Slips off Step and Injures Foot.
W. H. Seybert came in last evening
to look after some business matters
and to visit friends", staying over night
and today. While coming down stairs
the other morning he stepped too close
to the edge of the steps and his foot
slipped off the edge bruising and skin
ning his heel, so as to lame him. Mr.
Seybert reports that he has loaded all
the corn which is at the elevator at
Cullon, but that there is a little more
to buy yet, which will in all make for
that station about 80,000 bushels of the
last year crop, as against 125,000 at
other times, thus showing somewhat of
a shortage in the crop of last year.
ATTEMPTED THEFT
AT CEDAR CREEK
Breaks Window in Store and
is Only Driven Off at Point
of Revolver.
Miss Marie Kaufman and her father,
Andrew Kaufman, of Cedar Creek, who
have a general store in the building of
George E. Sayles, and who live in the
rear portion of the building, were awak
ened this morning about 3 o'clock by
someone trying to enter the building at
the front. They broke the window in
their attempt to enter and the falling
glass awakened Miss Kaufman, who
grasped a ready revolver and fired three
shots at the burglar before he would be
frightened away. From her position in
the rear of the room she could plainly
se-J - the outline of the man standing in
front and attempting to enter the place.
The man appeared to be alcne, as no
one else was sean about the p!ace, tut
nothing was obtained. Eut for the
prompt action of Miss Kaufman and the
handy revolver the store would have
been lioted. Anyone wishing to em
bark in the burglary business can well
keep a little shy of that store in the fu
ture, for there is a probability that the
aim may be a little truer to the mark
next time.
Went to Burlinion Jjnstion Springs.
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Hild departed
this morning for Burlington Junction,
Missouri, where Mr. Hild will take
treatment for rheumatism, which has
been troubling him a good deal for
sometime past, and which kept him
confined to the house during the entire
winter. We hope he will find relief in
the treatment which he is to take at
that p!ace.

"The luckiest day of my life was
when I bought a box of Bucklen's Ar

The Equilibrium of the Bcdy.
A condition of the body, in which all
organs perform their natural amount
of work, that is, the state of a perfect
health, is called equilibrium. As soon
as one organ refuses to do its fhare, it
becomes necessary to establish thi?
equilibrium. Everybody noticed that
it is usually the stomach that refuses
to work. This calls for Triner's Ameri
can Elixir of Bitter Wine, because it
will make the stomach to work and
with it all organs, upon which the di
gestion of food rests. As soon as a
whole body will work harmoniously.
Use this remedy in all cases of dis
turbed digestion and of bodily weak
ness. At drug stores. Jos. Triner,
