Calumet hns been hacked for year by an cftcr

found in the baking prepared with it.
Docs not this and the fact that it complies with
all pure food laws, both State and National,
prove that Calumet is absolutely pure?
With the purity question settled then Calumet
is undoubtedly the best Baking Powder. It
contains more leavening power; it is more uni'

Homeseeker's Excursions of
Daily Occurence and Many
People Buy Farms.
Yoakum, Tekas, Sept. 17.
Editor Journal: When I reckless
ly contracted with you for a series of
letters from this, the garden spot of
America, 1 little wotted of what
I was doing. I have been so busy I
couldn't get time to send these more
or less Interesting epistles, princi
pally less. But no matter how busy,
I always found time to read the
Journal and note the occurrences,
grave and gay, which have taken
place In old Cass county since my departure..
Aad in the second class of these
happenings I have read with horror
of the terrible death of Mrs. Shera,
at Rock Bluffs. 1 cannot conceive
what manner of creature It was who
eould have committed this crime. In
her lifetime I knew Mrs. Shera quite
well, and seldom have I met with so
pleasant and amiable a woman. She
bad reached that age when all who
knew her cherished and loved her,
no that her terrible taking away must
have come to her friends as a great
shock. It Is to be hoped that in time
her death will bo avenged and the
guilty perpetrator of the horror be
brought to Justice.
In another field, ? have rend of
the triumph of Mayor Dnhlnian, of
Omaha, In the gubernatorial race,
'and this reached me most pleasantly.
Mayor Dahlman deserved to win Just
as he deserves victory In the elec tion.
Ho Is a man whom tho people can
trust, and he will not betray their
confidence. He believes In calling a
spade a up ado, and he hns about him
no trait of hypocrisy. Those who
admire a real mnn should vote for
"Jim" Dahlman, for that is what ho
1 every Inch.
By a curious coincidence Yoakum
Is situated In Hewitt county, Texas,
partly In the county where the Dahl
man family many years ago
and where they are known quite
well. People here who remember
the Democratic candidate, tell me he
was In early life Just as he Is today
clean, honest and clear spoken. A
man among men. They hope for his
election by a large majority.
Politics down here Is rather q tiles
ent at present. The legislature ad
journed a short time ago, after one
regular and three special sessions,
one of which w as devoted principally
to the liquor question In which pro
hibition was defeated, or maybe post
poned. .Next year Texas votes on
state-wide prohibition, and it will be
a great fight with the outcome In
doubt, although I believe prohibition
will be defeated handily. O. B. Col-
qlett who was named by the demo
crats for governor at tho primaries
In July, Is an antl-prohibltlonlst, but
this was only one factor In his nom
ination. The principal cause seems
to me to have been the railroads and
corporations. He ran on a ' peace
and rest platrorm, wnich is con
strued to me, no legislation attacking
railroads, corporations or tho liquor
interests, and he hud close to 70,000
plurality over his nearest antagonist
Texas politics are peculiar and
strange bedfellows are to bo found
among the Democratic factions.
Texans aro looking forward ex
pectantly to the coming fall and win
ter. They look for a great Influx of
northern people here and the season
does start In bravely. Last Tuesday
was "Homeseekers" excursion day
and the Texas roads certainly had
no grievance on their business. On
Thursday six excursion trains came
into San Antonio, five of which scat
tered to Texas points, while the sixth
crossed the line Into Mexico. Of the
five several Invaded the Laredo-Co
tulla district where some Plattsmouth
people now have land. Others went
on down toward Houston and along
the line of the Brownsville and Mex
ico. All this country has filled up
wonderfully In the past few years and
there Is no prospect of a letup. Land
hag advanced by leaps and bounds
and prices compared with a few years
ago are scandalously high. But the
income seems to pay dividends on the
Investment. The stories of fortunes
made In onions are not exaggerated
in the least, and even at the high
price of land many have cleared their
entire purchase price in a single year.
And the . most productive of the lands
are those adjoining where Platts
mouth people have Invested.
Now is the season when the onions
are being planted and the crop being
gotten In the ground. These onions
will enter the market In January,
February, March and April of next
year, the planters this year deciding
to extend their season Instead of con
centratlng In two months as hereto
fore. They expect to ship about
1,130,000 crates of Bermudas the
coming season, which Is some onions
But aside from the practical side of
this question there Is another.. San
Antonio has long been known as one
of the most delightful of winter re
sorts where roses bloom the winter
through. And this year it promises
more than ever. The city will pre
sent many more roses than ever be
fore and the winter will be made
more attractive for the visitor from
the boreal north, than ever before
This is a matter of public spirit with
San Antonla, which prides itself on
its climate, and mhich is making
bold bid for the northern visitor
And It Is a city worth visiting. It
hns show places gnlore and It I m
presses Its visitors mightily. Its great
International fair tnkes place In No
veiuber and this will be an occasion
worth while, as It Is made a great
event by the live wires of thnt liv
Advertising and printing..

The foregoing report speaks for it

given the men who had the enterprise
in charge. This is the first time In

For the first experience the above

CASS COUNTY JAIL IN
A TERRIBLE CONDITION
Owing to the crowded condition of
tho calander, the base ball tourna
ment, Cherokee Indians and other at
tractions, It was Impossible for the
M. V. A. membership at this point to
send a delegation to the annual log
rolling which was held In Weeping
Water last Saturday. Nevertheless,
the picnic was a great success and
was largely attended by Woodmen
throughout the county. Prominent
Woodmen were present and spoke on
woodcraft, among them being J. M.
Leldy of Omaha, and Mrs. Kate Rem
ington who spoke to the circle. Prizes
were offered to the smallest, largest
and the oldest Woodman. Wilson
Gllmore of Mt. Fieasant precinct won
easily as the biggest Woodman In the
county, tipping the beam at 305
pounds, and Mr. Gllmore Is not fleshy
but well proportioned. Ed. Shepherd
son got first money as the smallest
Woodman present. George Laltuo of
Union was the oldest Woodmnn pres
ent. There were games and rnces,
which amused the crowd. Threo ball
teams contested for purses, Weeping
Water winning from Klmwood, and
Elmwood from Avoca. Tho purse was
$30.
Every recurring rain storm em
phasizes the need of a building in
which to keep Cass county's crim
inals. Mr. E. Manspeaker and family
who reside in the rooms above the
cages and cells of the building called
the Jail of the county, and the rooms
are large enough to be comfortable,
and would be if the roof was In shnpe
to turn tho water on the outside, in
stead of as It does, on the inside.
Tho Inst heavy rain seemed to go
entirely through the east wall of the
upper story, and the mold which
accummulated on the sides of the
walls and behind pictures during a
week Mrs. Manspeaker was absent,
produced an odor that was anything
but agreeable to the smell. The paper
on the walls became so thoroughly
soaked that In places it is falling
!rom the ceiling, and the rooms arc
almost uninhabitable. ith proper
repairs on the roof and with the ex
penditure of a small amount of ruon
ey the matter could probably be put
In passable condition. Something
ought to be done with the whole
structure and a new building erected
In Its stead, as It Is a reproach to
Cbbs county's civilization that men
should be required to accupy such
a den, no roof, no floor and hardly
any Bide walls.
State Officials Very Free in Ex
pressions About the Act.
A special from Lincoln under date
of September 18, says: "Nearly ev
eryone around the state house Is talk
ing about the state wide primary law
under which the present candidates
for offices were nominated, and so
far there Is not a state officer who
has one word of commendation for
the present measure.
"Attorney General Thompson refer
red to it yesterday as a "monstros
ity," while Governor Shallenberger
has repeatedly condemned it, saying
on one occasion that he should have
recommended that it be repealed by
the late Democratic legislature which
was responsible for It In Its present
form.
"Other state officers, Including
those who were nominated under it
have expressed themselves as have
the two officers mentioned. Some in
sist that the law should be repealed
in its entirety, while others believe
that the return to the old convention
system should be by degrees and
very gradual.
"Secretary of State Junkin Is of
Id
amend the law so that it does not
apply to candidates fon state offices
but that delegates to a nominating
convention may be selected at a pri
mary and that other than candidates
for state office be nominated as at
present. . It is his opinion that the
legislature will not consent to repeal
the law In Its entirety, but that It
will take the first steps which are to
finally result in doing away with it.
"State officers realize that It will
be a hard matter to repeal the law
for the reason that those who have
been nominated under Its provisions
aud elected to the legislature have
no very great protest to make at its
operation. But on the other hand
there will be many members of the
legislature who spent .teepless nights
worrying over a nomination ciue to
the wiping out of party lines in the
late election, who otherwise would
have had little caue to worry. These
will insist on a change."

ATTEND THE COUNTY SUN
DAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Wednesday and Thursday, Septem
ber 2Sth and 29th are the dates;
Greenwood is the place, and improved
methods is the theme of the coming
county Sunday school convention.
This is the age of improvement. The
man or the institution that does not
advance soon finds himself far in the
rear. The automobile and the air
ship have arrived and other things
must keep pace. The Sunday school
that tries to "do business" on the
old plan of 50 or even 25 years ago
will soon go out of business. The
youth that attend the Sunday school
of today Is accustomed to faster mo
tions to modern ways of living and
he must have modern Sunday school
methods to attract Interest and hold
him. There are a great many schools
In Cass county that are awakened to
this fact. Those schools are reaching
out for anything that will increase
their efficiency; those schools will be
represented at the Greenwood conven
tion next week. Is your school among
this number? The program promises
a feast of inspiration and help for
every worker that attends. Dr. Hamlll
of Chattanooga, Tenn., who Is, the
principal speaker, is acknowledged to
be one of the strongest Sunday school
instructors in the United States. Do
not fail to hear him. Remember the
dates, September 28th and 29th. The
program can be had of the secretary,

At the noon hour while the deputy

lopes, a whet stone, a pair of scissors
and a fine tooth comb.
The thief was apprehended at J.
C. York's barber shop with the prop
erty on his person. Chief Ralney
happened to be In the barber shop
when tho man came In and offered to
sell the scissors and some of the other
property. Chief Ralney questioned
the man and then searched him find
ing the envelopes with Judge Bee

communication in It, going to some
party at Louisville.
The culprit was taken to Jail and
locked up. Miss Beeson had no key
for the door and while she was at
dinner, she closed the outside door
but did not lock it, hence the thief
had not much difficulty In making
the haul.
