Captain Isaac Wiles Author of the
Motto, "Equality Before
the Law."
There are few people in Cass
county ami Plallsniouth I ha t arc
aware "that the motto on the slafe
seal of Nebraska, '"Equality Be
fore the Law," is the result of a
Cass county man's efforts. Cap
tain Isnc Wiles, residing just out
side of the city, was a rcpresenU
-alive in the first state legislature
and fathered the bill to put this
mbtto on the great, seal of the
state. This session of the legis
lature was confronted with a great
many measures that meant, a great
deal to the ,ynung state, among
them the l rnlirg of the state
capital, and Captain Wiles was
always in the forefront in lighting
for the people's interests, and his
record is one he may well he
proud of.
During the lime the bill to place
the motto on Ihe stale seal was
before the house Mr. Wiles was
in Ihe front urging its adoption,
and to him is due the credit for
placing the motto where it will
stand for all the years to come as
Ihe slogan of the great slate of
Nebraska and its citizens. Captain
Wiles, of late years, has not. taken
an active part in politics, but he
fctill is always on Ihe alert to
favor the laws that will most,
benefit Ihe slate in which he had
such a large pari in steering on
its course.

A DEED THAT NEEDS THE
ATTENTION OF OEEICERS
Live Stock Agent Eyler of the
Burlington, after being absent two
weeks in Ihe southern part of Ihe
state investigating Ihe extent of
damage wrought by the new horse
disease, has returned to Omaha.
While out he went, through Thay
er, Nuckolls, Webster, Franklin,
Harlan, Furnas, lied Willow,
Hitchcock and Dundy counties. He
is unable to estimate Ihe total
losses, but, is clearly of the
opinion that I hey have been great
ly over-estimated. Of all lln
counties visited Ihe losses were
heaviest in Webster, where il is
estimated that more than '-',.")(H)
horses died. Of this number the
death of l,rno can be (raced o
vaccinal ion: When Ihe disease
first broke out, a veterinarian at
lied Cloud claimed to have it cure
and used a vaccine that hail cured
black-leg in cattle, lie was kept
busy night, and day, treating some
l.Nnn horses, i ii. is.) of which have
since died.
DILATORY IN MOVEMENT OF

Tuesday evening while a female
citizen was coming down Sixth

I tie moving picture show she was
slopped at, Ihe corner of (iranile
and Sixth street by three men,
who accosted her and made an in
sulting proposition, which she re
fused and started to move on,
when Ihe men grabbed her, chok
ing and healing her in a most
brutal manner and throwing her
to the ground. Her cries for help
Dually frightened Ihe brutes away
before they could accomplish their
purpose and she at once ran down
Sixth si reel, where she secured
an escort back home. Two of 1he
parties, one of whom is a married
man, was recognized by the lady,
while Ihe third parly was un
known to her. This is a matter
that should be dealt with in the
most severe .manner, as il is an
outrage of unspeakable character
and as long as such liends are al
lowed n roam the streets no
woman will be safe to go out at
night unless accompanied by an

JUDGE TRAVIS' RULING IN
The company presenting Edgar
Selwyn's play of the Orient, "The
Arab," was one of the best that
has appeared here for some time,
and the play was a new departure
from the usual run of dramas.
The scene of the drama is laid in
a Syrian village, near Damascus,
and is Ihe story of the unchanging
love of a wild son of the desert for
a beautiful American girl, the
daughter of the missionary sta
tioned in the village, and who is
finally saved from death at the
hands of the Turks by her desert
lover.
Cuy Cufman was spiendid in
his interpretation of the role of
the Medouin lover, and as he pro
trayed the growing love for the
daughter of the missionary, he
isplayed some of Ihe best acting
ever seen in tins city. In the
character of Mary llilhert. the
missionary's daughter, Constance
Caufman was pleasing and lovable
and in tier efforts to save her
charge from the Turks was most
appealing. The whole company
was strong in their diirercnt parts
and il, is to be regretted that their
engagement fell on such a poor
night, as most of the people had
grne to Omaha to witness , the
electric parade. Ed Aiken, who
portrayed the Turkish governor,
gave a very life-like rendition of
the cunning and brutal ruler.
Under the circumstances the com
pany was greeted by a much
larger audience than was really
expected. .

Many limes has the Journal had
cause lo llm'l fault with .shipment
of goods out of Omaha by Ihe
Adams Express company, and
have remained silent, because we
were not sure il was the fault of
the head olllce in Omaha or not,
but. in this instance Ihey were.
Wednesday morning we tele
phoned u rush order fi 1 the
American Press association in
Omaha, and needed Ihe plale mai
ler very badly for Wednesday's
issue of Ihe Daily Journal, and ex
pected it. o arrive here on Ihe
train that arrives at a few min
utes after 1 o'clock in the after?
noon. The mailer ordered was
placed in the express olllce at 10
n. m., in plenty of time to arrive
here on the train we expected il.
We were very much put out' about
the matter, because we needed il,
and il did not arrive here until 5
o'clock in Ihe evening. Someone
is to blame for such negligence at
1 1. ... i i.i ...
tmiana ouicc, and there ls no
excuse whatever, for rigbl on the
box was written very plainly, "(let
this out on noon train." What is
the use of ordering goods by ex
press if we cannot yel Iheiu here
quicker than by freight 1 If this
was Ihe lirst instance we would
Hot complain, but they have been
so frequent thai a person could
not be human and no) complain.
The fault lies righl with the ex
press olllce at Omaha.
Many of the readers of Ihe
Journal have read of Ihe cele
brated kidnapping case over in
Sarpy county, and of course are
interested in Ihe outcome of the
trouble. The case proper has nol
come, up and it will probably In
a month or more before il does.
The following special from Papil
lion gives Judge Travis' ruling in
the ease;
"Four-year-old Cordon Fackler
will not become Ihe possession of
either John Fackler or his wife,
until the suit llled by Mrs. Fack
ler can be decided. Meanwhile, in
accordance wilh the decision of
Judge Travis of the district court
here yesterday afternoon, Ihe lit
tle boy will be placed with a third
parly, where both mother and
father can see him whenever they
wish.
"Judge Travis ordered Fackler
to provide his wife wilh ?; for
expenses and $HM for attorney's
fees, ami lo insure her a boarding
place during her slay in Sarpy
county.
"The case for the possession of
the child and for maintenance for
Mrs. Fackler will be consolidated
and heard at Ihe same lime, which
will probably be within the next
month.
"Fackler kidnapped the lillle
boy from the home of Mrs. Fack
ler at Valley Park. Mo., ten days
ago, bringing the child In Spring
Held, N.h."
DENT IN REGISTRATION
P. E. Ilulfuer, who has just,
returned from Omaha tells of an
amusing incident that occurred at
the registration in Omaha. Dr.
Dodge and the two sons of Mr.
HulVner decided to register one
evening and Mr. RulTner thought
he would accompany them to Ihe
place. On entering they were
ques ji med, and when asked as to
their residence and politics, gave
il, which greatly vexed one of the
republican workers, who asked if
Ihey had any more democrat ie
voters at their resilience and to
bring I hem along.
