HON. B. F. GOOD, Candidate for Supreme Judge
If Judge Good Is not the strongest
candidate nominated by any party
for the supreme bench, we will al
ways think he ought to be. He Is
"both by nature and training qual
ified for the place. By nature be
cause he Is an ' eminently fair and
just man, endowed with superior
reasoning faculties; so well balanced
that be has no vagaries nor grouches
to warp his decisions, and animated
by a desire to do exactly what Is
right by all people and all classes.
By legal knowledge, by knowledge of
men and of the world, by belonging
to the well-to-do middle classes, by
legal knowledge, by ten years exper
ience on the bench following a ca
reer as a trial lawyer; all these
things add to his capability and to
his availability; and when you con
sider his genial personality, his wide
acquaintance and the fact that al
most without exception everybody
who knows him likes and admires
him, reasons sufficient have been
given for a landslide for him, regard
less of all other considerations.

3arlin(ton Store House il Lincoln to
be Removed to Hinloek.
In apeaklog oi tne removal oi in.
to Havelock, the State Journal says
that It will probably - be, about eight
een months before the change is
made, though It Is possible that It
-will be even sooner. The two yards
are now handled as one as far as the
office work Is concerned, the Have
' lock store being a part of the Lincoln
Vtore. The only difference will be
at the material will be bunched
re in one place and the yards and
Aore of the two places condensed to
over an area of about one mile long
by half a mile wide, Instead of five
miles long and a half mile wide, as
at present. There will be no change
ia the management and the whole
will continue to be under J. H. Wat
erman, ' who ia the . general store
keeper of the lines west of the river.
J. H. Ellis, who is now the store
keeper at Havelock, will probably
be made assistant storekeeper. Work
one the new storehouse is expected to
be started in the near future.
The Lincoln store is the wholesale
storehouse for all material uBed on
the lines west of the river, with the
exception of the coach and freight
r material, which is handled at
Plattsmouth. It is the base of sup
ply from which the other storehouses
hi in unKH weL umw meir buuiiiico
er 200 men are employed, and the
sales amount to between $300,000
and $500,000 per month.
In 1S90 the storehouse and ma
terial yards were located at Platts
mouth. In July , of that year Mr,
Waterman, who was then employed
iu the Plattsmouth yards, was trans
ferred to Lincoln, with the building
and bridge material, and Bince that
additions have been made until the
Uncoln store has become one of the
largest on the system. On April
1", 1907, the Lincoln store was con
solidated with the Havelock store
and was made the general store for
tl)p lines west of the river.
Some Fine Work.
Have you noticed the display of
fine enlarged photographs in the
window of Weyrich & Hadraba's drug
store? The pictures are excellent and
the subjects are of interest to Platts
mouth residents. Emil Weyrich was
the artist and the work reflects credit
on this young man, and shows what
one can do with an ordinary camera
and the proper instruments for enlarging.
One of the pictures ia of the ferry
which was originally a photo 4x5
inches and is now enlarged to a
10x12.
All of the pictures, four or five
In number were of similar size and
alike enlarged. A most interesting
pair of pictures is taken of a party
of campers, three in number, being
W. A. Robertson and a school friend,
E. J. Anderson and Emil Weyrich.
One of these shows the hoys in the
act of gathering' the catfish by hook
and line, and Indicates the artistic
skill in taking his own picture. The
other picture is of Robertson alone
in the act of slicing the bacon pre
paratory to placing it in the frying
pan which Is nearby on the Are. These
pictures certainly are true to life, and
the apparatus for enlarging them will
be explained to you if you care to
step In to Weyrich ft Hadraba's
store.

Appeals to Higher Court.
Some days since the Journal had
an account of the trial of Mrs. Swear
ingen at Sydney, la., for assault and
her conviction for felonious assault
upon a former citizen of that town.
Judge B. S. Ramsey of this city Is
her attorney, and he went to Glen
wood soon after the conviction and
filed papers for another hearing in
the case. From the following from
the Glenwood Tribune It seems the
sitting judge has refused to grant
another hearing, and the case will be
taken to the supreme court of Iowa:
"Mrs. Swearlngen, 70 years of age,
who was recently convicted at Sid
ney of felonious assault upon R. S.
Williams, a former Fremont county
official, has been sentenced by Judge
Wheeler to pay a fine of $500 and
the costs of the trial, or go to Jail for
a term of three months. Mrs. Swear
lngcn's motion for a new trial, filed
at Glenwood, was denied. Mrs.
Swearlngen Immediately gave notice
of appeal and will take the case to
the supreme court! She was releas
ed on a bond of $1,000."
In Count Court.
Judge Beeson yesterday heard the
petition and witnesses for the pro
bate of the will of the late Dorland
L. Clapp, who died at Elmwood soma
months ago. The document was ad
mitted to probate and Edwin Jeary
appointed executor, as the will di
rected. There is about $20,0M
worth of property disposed of by the.
will. One thousand dollars Is be
queathed to nephews .and nieces. and
the balance to his two sons, Charles
D. and Smith Clapp. - :
Administration was granted In the
estate of WUhelmtna Kazmareck, de
ceased, who In her lifetime resided
at Elmwood. There are six children
ranging In years from 5 to 20. The
estate is valued, in the petition for
administration, at $3,000, which the
law will distribute to the children
in equal proportions.
A Friend lit Town.
Our good friend, E. J. Joary,
cashier of the National bank at Elm
wood, came in last night on the mid
night M. P., coming via Omaha. Ted
gave the Journal a pleasant call this
morning, and spent a few moments
in a social way. Ted (outside of pol
itics) Is a great friend of the Jour
nal editor, and we consider him one
of the finest young men In Cass
county. Ho always treats us nicely
when wo go to Elmwood, and feel
ver grateful to him for favors rendered.
