THAT UTTERLY
ABSURD CHARGE
That Mr. Bryan Regarded Working
men as Public Beggars.
Willie J. Abbot, the well known
newspaper correspondent says in the
Sunday Chicago Tribune that the utter
ly absurd charge that I'ryan regarded
workingmen as public beggars 's men
daciously repeated day by day in cer
tain newspapers which have a special
reason for personal animosity to the
democratic nominee. No one who
knows Mr. Bryan will believe the
charge for a moment. It is based on
an affidavit from an utterly unknown
man who so far as can be discovered
does not exist.
The remark is supposed to have
been made in a committee room at the
time of the debate upon the Wilson
bill. What Mr. Hryan said on the lloor
of the house at that time, which now
appears in the Congressional Hocurd, is
to be accept d a.; his real utterances
concerning work iirgmoii.

The editor of the Register has never j
been guilty of bestowing indiscriminate I
praise. When praise is merited it is
one of the pleasurable things of an edi
tor's life to bestow it. I'raise indis
criminately scattered in many cases may
read well to the interested party, but it
carries no weight and should be called
"blarney." We are building for this
aper and hope to justify the reputa
tion of being a ''newspaper with an in
fluence." During the time that the
present editor has charge of these col
umns, if you see anything complimen
tary of any one they will deserve it
for we have an idea that calling a man
a "nature's nobleman" when in reality
he is far from it, is as much a lie as
though we called him a rogue. Hut
there is one of whom we wish to speak
one whom we have known, have had
many business tr.'insact ions, and who
we are ghid is a candidate for oflice.
We refer to William H. Harming. He
is not a "nature's nobleman, " a "prince
among his fellows, " a "model citizen,"

the Church People.
l-'rom Monday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon Choirmaster II.
S. Austin of St. Luke's choir took the
choir to Omaha, where they gave a
song service at All Saints Church be
fore a very large and fashionable aud
ience. The service was in every sense
a success, the choir surprising and de
lighting everyone present with the mag
nificent manner in which they gave the
various selections. The program in it
self was of exceptional brillancy and,
this fact, aided largely by the splendid
work of the soloists, Mrs. Anna Britt,
Mrs. II. S. Austin, Miss Ella Margaret
Dovey and I'rof. H. S. Austin served
to accentuate the success of the under
taking. As the talented soloists are so well

that there wa3 some twenty-five or
thirty altogether who made the trip.

Ths Proposed Si:bw3y.
Another twist has been given to the
proposed subway under the Burlington
tracks. Agent Pickett having taken the
matter up with Division Superintendent
Bignall and General Superintendent
By ram to see if a wide enough passage
wav cannot be obtained where it is now
proposed to put in the culvert and do
away with the present dangerous grade
crossing at the depot. It would certain
ly seem the part of wisdom on the part
of the company to make the change as
it would greatly lessen the liability to
accidents and would do away with the
expense of putting a flagman at the
crossing during the winter when ice is
being put up. Mr. Pickett has present
ed these facts to the Superintendents
and has great hopes that they may be
able to obtain a change in the plans
with the end in view of the protecting
the crossing and eliminating the ex
pense as set out above. While no de
finite information is given out at pres
ent it is known the both superintendents
are very much impressed with the ne
cessity for the change and it probably
will be made. The general opinion of
the people is that it would be a wise
move for all concerned, and they are
unanimously in favor of the change.
General Superintendent Byram was
through the city this morning in his
private car and got out and took a look
at the work.
Death of Frank Svela.
Died Svela. Frank, aged 45 years,
of peritonitis, at Piatt? mouth, Neb.,
on October 10th. Funeral at Platts
mouth, October 12, at 2 o'clock p. m.
After a very short illness lasting but
a few days, Frank Svela. a well known
Bohemian citizen passed away Satur
day evening at his home in the north
east portion of the city. Peritonitis
was the cause of death, its action being
very rapid.
Mr. Svela left surviving him a wife
and three children. He carried five
hundred dollars insurance in the Z. C.
B. J. a bohemian fraternal order, whose
members conducted the funeral this
afternoon. The following members of
the order acted as pall bearers, viz:
M. Bajeck, Louis Jiran, Chas. Jilek,
Jacob Jilek, Frank Kalosek, and John
Rotter.
Mr. Svela had a great many friends
especially among his own nationality
who will" hear of his death with great
sorrow. He was personally a fine man
and the community loses a good citizen
in his death.

Col. 11. A. Bates Was in Town.
Col. M. A. Bates, editor of the Platts
mouthTJournal and democratic candi
date for lloat representative from Cass
and Otoe counties, passed through town
Tuesday evening on his way to Avoca
on business, political and otherwise. He
stopped at the Courier office long
enough to say hello and leave a card
for our announcement column, which
appears in this issue. The Colonel is
making a campaign against odds, as his
opponent has several hundred votes to
start with, but he seems confident that
he is going to win out. At any rate
the people of the two counties may rest
assured, that regardless of which of the
the two is successful at the polls, they
will have their interests looked after in
a business-like manner. Louisville

Strong Words for Our Billy.
William C. Ramsey is the Register's
candidate for county attorney, and we
believe him to be the best equipped man
for the place. He is a young man, that
is true, but this is an age for young
men and we have an idea that brains
are not the accumulation of age men
are born with them and William has a
large supply of gray matter. Vote for
a clean, moral young man. Nehawka

Float Representative.
The democrats of Cass and Otoe coun
ties have selected a most excellent can
didate for float representative in Col.
M. A. Bates, of Plattsmouth. He is
well known over Cass county and will
get a heavy vote there, and the Herald
wants to strongly recommend him to
its friends in Otoe county. The editor
of the Herald knew the Colonel in Mis
souri a few years ago when I was run
ning an independent paper over there,
have known him for ten years in Ne
braska, and I know what I am talking
about when I say he will make a good
and dependable representative for our
neighboring counties if the voters will
only elect him. Lincoln Herald.
Married Saturday.
Judge Beeson last Saturday made
two souls happy by uniting in marriage
Edward Gallette Lewis, aged 25, and
Isabelle Mason, aged 23, both of
Murray. The happy couple had the
knot tied at about three o'clock in the
afternoon, having driven to the city
for that purpose and returned to their
home at once. They are quite well
known in their neighborhood and are a
fine representative couple of Cass
county folks.
There was also a license issued Satur
day to Wm. Carr, aged 27, of Bladen,
Neb., and Miss Lois Warthen, aged 20,
of Plattsmouth.

WEDDED AT GER-
im, NEBRASKA
Mrs. Roe Henton Married Last Wed
nesday to Mr. Albert Stodard.
Mrs. Roe Henton, who spent the past
year or more with her mother at her
home in Scott's Bluffs, Nebraska, was
united in marriage with Mr. Albert
Stodard on Wednesday, October 7, 1908.
at Gering, Nebraska.
Mr. and Mrs. Stodard arrived in this
city on Friday, and from here went di
rect to Mynard to visit relatives and
to look after some business matters in
which Mrs. Stodard is personally inter
ested, and where her deceased husband,
Mr. Roe Henton, was reared to man
hood. On Friday evening a large num
ber of the friends of Mrs. Stodard hon
ored the bride and groom with a chari
vari at the former home of the bride in
Mynard, and it is needless to say, that
after making the night hideous with
their "charming" music to their hearts'
content, they were treated royally by
the newly wedded.
On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Joe Adams
entertained the bride and groom at din
ner, and the guests present included
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Johnson, of this
city, and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Gillespie,
of Mynard.
Mrs. Stodard has many friends in
Cass count', and also across the river in
Iowa, where she formerly resided, who
join the Journal in extending congratu
lations to Mr. and Mrs. Stodard, with
the wish that their marital career may
always be as bright as the noonday sun
in cloudless sky.
Mr. Stodard is a prosperous farmer
and stock grower, and their future home
be at or near Scott's Bluffs, where he
is the possessor of many broad acres
of fertile lands, for which point they will
depart the latter part of the week.

a stairway also leads down to the fur

piped throughout in a good and work
manlike manner. The basement is
lighted at the front by two large side
walk lights, the glass being cut as to

inch slope to the floor, permitting the
water to run into the main sewer at a

glad to renew an old acquaintance of

Who Stole the Apples?
From Tuesday's Itn'iy
Louis Leiner last night left a sack
with about four bushels of apples in it,
in his wagon while he got out to attend
to some business matters. The wagon
was left standing on Fourth street op
posite J. E. McDaniel's place of busi
ness. When he returned he found that
someone had "lifted" the sack, apples
and all. He would be much obliged to
have the party doing the act return the
sack and the money for the apples to
either himself or J. E. McDaniel. He
is not particular about losing the apples
if he can get pay for them but he needs
the money, I ad will appreciate the re
turn of the i oods or the price thereof.
