they have to buy them anyhow In
order to live. The Individual is
thereby Injured, and In order to pre
serve his credit Is bound to curtail

Pnj ne-AIdrlch tariff law has laid ex
orbitant duties on food stuffs and

placed a burden on the backs of the
common people that must sooner of

Ol U XF.XT CONGRESSMAN.
It seems a little early, but In sev
eral counties In this congressional
district candidates nre being dis
cussed for the race next fall. Repub
licans are of the opinion that they
have more than a lighting chance, so
they have several candidates. George
Tobey, who Is a professional poli
tician and who received his educa
tion In Lincoln under the tutelage of
Senator Ilurkett, seems to be In the
lead for the nomination, but he has
many opponents. Ernest Pollard,
the chnniplon of the ship subsidy
bill, hns assumed active manage
ment of the I'lattsmouth News, and
will put a man In charge to do the
local work, and what you see In the
I'lattsmouth News can be counted
upon as coming direct from Pollard.
If Pollard wanted to be up-to-date
he would get a balloon Instead of a
ship as a crest. Richardson county

opinion that they stand higher In

WITHOUT HOPE.
Hope is the guiding star of the
world, and without It humanity
would be like a duck out of water.
It keepB us moving, revived, and re
juvenates us again and again, finally
leading us on through unforseen
destiny to the end we believed would
come, or hoped wcild not come as
It did. Weary, worn, heart-sick.
disgusted, we lie down to slumber,
only to awake In the new day with
Hope standing at our side, patting
us on the shoulder and smilingly
urging us to "go it again, old man;
you can't lose with Perseverance and
me backing you up." And bo, re
freshed, strong and confident, we go
back to the wearying grind. Hope
may deceive us, but whatever his
method, he leads us on, and when
the last quiver of life is running
through us, he still Is with us, either
with the belief that we shall survive
or that all is well for the future.
Faith and Charity are grand and
noble, but their grandeur and their
existence ' depends altogether on
others; while Hope Is our own, to
cling to in Joy or Borrow, In happi
ness or despair It Is the beginning
and the end and all that comes be
tween are mere Incidentals.
Without Hope the sun ceases to
shine, and everything darkens; the
body Is an empty tenement, Its soul,
Its spirit, Its excuse for existence
are mere shadows, and it staggers
us down to Ignominy and despair.
Heaven help the man in whom Hope
Is dead. Its very arms will drag
back the damned from hell's verge
and lead them on to paradise of life.
While Hope lingers the Infinite spirit
Is standing by, ready and anxious to
guide us on towards life's successes
and heaven's triumphs. May Hope
never desert the mortal frame till
the last sighs of life are drawn, and
the realization of the beginning and
the end of the earth has come.

LAST SAD RITES TO A ISEIIVEI)
OXE.
The writer returned Monday night
from Grant City, Mo., where he pro
ceeded on Frldny to pay a last sad
tribute to his grandson, Robert Kirk
Hates, one who was not only dear to
him, but dear to the entire Journal
family. The messenger of death
came to us all on Thursday morn
ing, and It was bo sudden and sur
prising that it was like a thunder
clnp from a cloudless sky. We all
were proud of Kirk, and knew his
splendid characteristics better than
the outside world. Still the outside
world, especially those who knew
him so well, knew hlm to be a noble
young man, ono In whom they pos
sessed the utmost confidence nnrt
love. We could write columns of In
cidents In that noble life to demon
strate his many manly traits and his
nobleness of character, found In but
few young men at the age of bud
ding manhood, but we do not deem
It necessary. It can be said, how
ever, and truthfully bo, that none
knew him but to love him, and his
untimely death is a hard blow to us
all, and much more so to his heart
broken mother and his only brother,
Mllford, who was his side companion
from Infancy.
Kirk died at his home In Lexing
ton, Neb., on Thursday, September
2, 1909, of typhus fever, at the age
of 20 years 1 month and seven days.
For several months he had been em

gone home to his mother In Lexing

mains were taken to Grant City, Mo.,
for interment, where they arrived on
Saturday morning. The funeral oc
curred Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
from the Methodist church, and the
church was filled to Its utmost ca
pacity to listen to the tribute paid
to the noble boy, who first drew the
breath of life in Grant City over
twenty years ago, where the writer
lived and at that time published the
Worth County Times, and where the
entire Journal family resided. The
funeral was preached by Rev. John
Gillis, whom we knew several years
ago at Memphis, Mo., where the
writer also published the Scotland
County Democrat, and where we
learned to love the reverend gentle
man, and in a manner became fast
friends. After the services at the
church the remains were conveyed
to the beautiful cemetery, west of
the city, followed by a large con
course of sympathetic friends, and
all that remained of one of the
noblest of young men were consigned
to the silent tomb to sleep the sleep
that will know no awakening until
the Great, Judgment Day.
The writer and his entire family
"
left Grant City nearly eighteen
years ago, and this was our first
visit since, and we would not be hu
man did we not express our gratitude
to the good citizens of that city for
their many kindnesses rendered on
this sad mission. They done all In
their power to alleviate our distress
and to comfort the heart-broken
mother and brother, for indeed, the
hour had arrived when they needed
sympathy. And to Hon. E. S. Carver
an wife and their son Henry and
wife, we owe a debt of gratitude
that will be hard to repay. The
Messrs. Carver are editors of the
Worth County Times, one of the
best county papers in Missouri. The
writer was entertained by them at
their elegant home during this try
ing ordeal, and wo want to assure
them that their hospitality will re
main fresh In our memory to our
dying day. They were incessant in
their endeavors to make our stay as
pleasant as possible under the clr
cu instances.
Through the kindness of Hon. E.
S. Carver we had the pleasure of
going over the city and viewing the
many Improvements that had been
made since our departure from the
town in which we had spent so many
pleasant hours in years gone by. Re
sides a tine new court house and sev
eral new churches, new business
houses. and hundreds of handsome
and elegant new homese have been
erected. Waterworks and lif rlr
lights have been put In since our resi
dence there, and In population fully
one-third more people make their
homes In the old town. We could
write a whole day and then not be
half through In expressing our grat
itude to the many kindnesses ren
dered by our old nelehhnr nn,t
friends. They were such as to make
us believe that no matter how long
one Is away from them they still
possess that ame warm heart within
their breasts they did eighteen years
ago.

Busy in District Court.
Several cases of importance have
been filed in the office of Clerk of
the District Court Robertson, among
them being one which was filed last
Saturday evening when Mayor Dahl
man of Omaha was In the city. It Is
the case of Hunter & Peters vs. Dahl
man and the petition sets forth that
it is upon a promissory note for
$214.40 and interest. No details are
given and presumably the case will
be fought. Byron Clark and V. A.
Robertson are attorneys of record
for the plaintiffs.
Another case which is out of the
ordinary 13 that of George E. and
Mary laez Ryan against Susan and
George Devour. This Is a case where
two children of one of the defend
ants sued her for an accounting and
to determine her rights to property
situated near Alvo, this county. The
petition sets forth among other
things that the plaintiff are children
of the late Jesse Ryan, who died on
April 23, 1891, leaving a will by
which his widow Susan Ryan took a
portion of his real estate, consisting
of 80 acres of good land near Alvo
while the children also came in for
the remainder. That after the death
of Ryan, thirty acres was sold to pay
the debts of the deceased. Later
the widow elected not to take under
the will but claimed her rights un
der the law. Afterwards she united

j ,n marriage w 1th one Donnelly who
lived upon the farm and still later
she entered Into matrimony for the
third time, this time marrying the
present husband and the defendant
George Devour. The petition sets
forth that she has forfeited her right
to the estate and asks for possession
of the property by the plaintiffs to
gether with rents amounting In the
total to the sum of $5,400. The
prayer of the petition asks that the
rights of the defendant, Susan De
vour be determined by the court as
well as those of the plaintiff and
that an accounting be had between
them and if the property cannot be
divided that It be sold at partition

The transcript In the case of the
State vs. Raker, a bigamy case from
this city, was also filed with Clerk
Robertson.
Judge Travis held court at chamb

Wanted A Wife for
Needs One.
Man Who
"Wdn't somebody please help me
to find a wife for a man who ought
to have one?" said Rev. Charles Sav
Idge, with the earnestness of a man
who Is trying to rescue the drown
ing. "It's a most deserving case," he
continued, "and I am Interested to
the extent that I propose to try to
help him out. This man Is of middle
age, is a widower and has seven
children. Wait a minute, that isn't
all by any means. He -has a fine
farm of 160 acres not more than a
hundred miles from Omaha, ten head
of horses, ' fifty-five head of cattle.
160 hogs and, In short, a first-class
farm property. He told me he was
simply discouraged with living since
his wife died. He Is a fine gentle
man, tall, handsome, with dark
moustache and beard, and he ought
to have a good wife.
"Now, I don't want any fake of
fers, but I am concerned about this
case and would like to have a good
woman who thinks she might be In
terested In meeting the gentleman,
call up by telephone and come to see
me at my house. There Is a real
case of need that ought to be ad
justed with happiness on both sides.
Why shouldn't I take it up?"

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
IIow many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? It prevails in that
far-away country Africa especially
the Congo district. It Is caused by
the blto of the tsetee fly. When It
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleepa
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. la there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet. hot. head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre
vent It? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down miM

thing without relief. Vlnol was rec
