James Williams the Unfortunate
Person, Who Will Be Laid
Up for Some Time.
James Williams, who has been
driving delivery wagon for Zuck
weilcr & Lutz for a number of
years, had the misfortune last
night to fall and fracture the
bone of his left arm. The ac
cident occurred about 7 o'clock,
when Mr. Williams was returning
from the barn, where he had just j,t
fed his team. He had reached his
own premises and fell on the walk
in front of his home.
' Dr. Cummins was summoned
and dressed the injury. Mr. Wil
liams rested but very little last
night, so great was the pain. It
will be some lime before he is
able to n-nume his duties again.
Mr. Williams is 05 years of age
and (he fracture will not knit as
rapidly as for a younger person.

A TRIBUTE.
(Written for the Journal.)
Murdock, Neb., Feb. 1, 1912.
Although our court ofllcials are
paid a reasonable compensation
for services rendered, and most
people might regard this as all
the consideration they should
have, yet a public recognition and
appreciation of the same may not
be out of place. The writer was
a careful observer of the official
conduct of all those connected
with the present term of the dis
trict court of Cass county, and
had I any enemies to punish or
any favors to curry, what I may
say would be out of place. But
since either is not. the case, I may
pardoned for a few com-
j plimenlary remarks regarding
the various court officials.
Your Honor, the presiding
judge, has been known by the
writer for more than a quarter of
a century, and it has been with
pleasure we have noted his steady
advancement in his chosen pro
fession and the marked fairness
he has shown in his judicial de
cisions and the uniform courtesy
he lias displayed toward all who
had business in his court.
Tin' county attorney, whose
geniality is contagious, is deserv
ing of a goodly degree of credit
for the efficiency he has mani
fested in securing the conviction
of the violators of the law, and
certainly the county is to be con
gratulated in having chosen to
look after its legal business a
gentleman possessing such sterl
ing qualities as are embodied in
the legal defender of the county's
rights. We bespeak for Mr. Tay
lor a bright future in the profes
sion upon which he has entered.
A goodly degree of praise is
due the sheriff for his alertness
in ferreting out and securing evi
dence against criminals and the
uniform efficiency he has shown
in the discharge of the duties
connected with his office.
It would be superfluous ror me
to offer any words of adulation to
the clerk of the district court.

this office to the general satis
faction of the entire county.
The court is favored by a very
competent reporter, who dis
charges his duty with dispatch

commendation the bailiffs, who
had the disagreeable duty of

suspicious characters
Of the jurors I am too modest

condemnation or approbation

on the 15th of January. Mrs.

Johnson bail not seen her mother

Omaha's Own Comedian, Ed Lee
Wroth, at the Popular Gayety
All Week.
Thero has been much specula
tion regarding the "Futurity Win
ners," that much-talked-about
racing play, which will be the
prominent feature of the "Ginger
Girls," scheduled for the week of
February 4 at the Gayety, Omaha.
Fear was expressed that it
would be almost impossible to
carry a number of horses, ma
chinery and mechanical devices in
conjunction with the already
heavy equipment of the "Ginger
Girls," and the expense of an ad
ditional crew of twenty clever
mechanics has likewise been
taken into careful consideration.
However, it is a llurtig & Seamon
attraction, which means that
obstacles and excessive ex
penditures are unknown, if it is
a matter of enriching an attrac
tion. So the master builders of
extravaganza went to work, and
created out of the original twen
ty-minute sketch a gorgeous
spectacle, a hilarious hodge
podge of thrilling, stirring and
most animated scenes, so true to
the real happening on Futurity
day that the audiences make
books and place bets among
themselves, while the bewilder
ing racing scene is occupying
every corner of the stage.
"Janitor Biggins" will certain
ly accompany the "Ginger Girls"
again, but he will appear in an
entirely new makeup, polished up
for the new season and supplied
with new store-batteries of fun.
Of course, everybody knows that
there is but one "Janitor Ilig
gins" and that is Ed Lee Wroth,
Omaha's native son, who is the
particular star of this famous
group of merrymakers. In his
company are Jane la Beau,
America's most foremost prima
donna in ex'travaganza; Frank
Wakefield, to well known to re
quire any special introduction;
Bealie Evans, Winifred Green,
Owen Martin, Frank C Carson, Al
Weston, Lew Elber, Gus, Roeber,
Al Dwinell and others.
Those who are regular patrons
of the Huhlig & Seamon attrac
tions do not have to be told that
the chorus ladies selected by that
enterprising firm for their road
shows must have all the require
ments of feminine loveliness. The
thirty young women of the "(lin
ger Girls," who will be seen in
the score of musical and dancing
ensembles to best, advantage, rep
resent every type of beauty from
loveland. Ladies' dime matinee
every week day.
Governor Morehead.
Governor Aldrich was out of
the state several days last week,
during which time it was Gov
ernor Morehead. But with char
acteristic modesty the acting gov
ernor did not put in appearance
at the executive office, having no
desire to appear officious, or make
any show of authority. Governor
Morehead has pursued this same
policy on other occasions of Aid
rich's absence, only once having
been called in for some special
service. In this connection it
might be well to remark that
Governor Morehead has never
drawn salary but for two days of
all the days of Aldrich's absence
from the state, as the records at
the state house will show, though
he is entitled to every dav of it.
This has been left for Aldrich to
draw and there is no evidence that
he shed any juicv tears for the
dear down-trodden taxpayers
while attaching himself to un
earned salary. His ideas of
economy were evident I v overcome
for the time being by his craving
hankering to encompass the
stale's simoleons. The Herald
prints this little story to show in
a measure Ihe bigness of the man
Morehead and the corresponding
littleness of our noisv four-flush
governor. Lincoln Herald.
Will Sell Durock Hogs.
Kvery farmer and stock raiser
should lie interested in good hogs,
and the Durock-Jersy breed is one
that cannot be excelled in many of
the vital points of what it takes to
make a good hog for the farmer.
The Durock hog is hardier and
will withstand the diseases to
which swine are subject belter
than any other breed, and they
are by long odds the most prolific
hog and will raise more pigs to
Ihe litter than any hog on the
market. V. K. Perry, residing five
miles southwest of Mynard, has
been raising this breed of hogs
for years and has some fine in
dividuals of these hogs which he
will put in his sale of February
26. Mr. Perry will sell at this
time 85 head of Durock-Jcrsies,
and anyone raising hogs cannot,
afford to miss his sale. The sale
will commence at 1 o'clock and
will be cried bv Col. William Dunn
of Weeping Water.
In Judge Archer's Court
Judge Archer entered judgment
this morning in favor of the
plaintiff in the forcible detainer
case of Harry C. Todd vs. John
Gray, giving plaintiff a right to a
writ of restitution for the dwel
ling house occupied by defendant
last season.
The little child or Robert Wells,
which has been sick for some
time, was belter yesterday, but
was reported not so well again
today.
