HEILL Kate Dorman, U. D. C. at Port Ar thur, Becomes Sammie Ger trude Neill Chapter. The following special from Port Arthur, Texas, under date of November lit, refers lo a lady who was pretty well known in Platts mouth, having visited her mother, Mrs. I,. A. Moore, on several oc casions, but, who died recently at Port Arthur. It will be seen that Mrs. Neill was highly esteemed by the order, as well as by all who knew her: "At a meeting of (he, local chapter of the United Daughters of Ihe Confederacy, held here to day, Ihe name of the chapter was changed to that of Sammie Cert rude Neill in commemoration of Ihe organizer and first president, who died here recently. "Mrs. Neill, who came here from Calveston, was a leading spirit in religious and fraternal work and was one of the most popular women in this section. She died recently, following an operation for appendicitis. The tribute paid to her memory in the changing of the name of the chapter she organized in August was adopted by unanimous vote. "Since Mrs. Neill's death Mrs. W, J. Adams, vice president of the chapter, has been acling presi dent As if was decided to con fine this meeting solely to the object, slated Ihe election of a new president was postponed unlil Ihe next meeting, which will be held December 17. "Following Ihe meeting today steps were at once taken lo se cure endorsement, of the proceed ings from the slate president of the United Daughters of the Con federacy, Mrs. Harold W. Creer, living in Heauinont. Hesides a new name the local chapter will also be assigned a new number. The quest ion of securing the en dorsement of the president is simply a formality." CHANGE OF VENUE IN . FAMOUS BRIDGE CASE District .Judge Travis has just grant imI a change of venue in the famous bridge case of Cass vs. Sarpy county, the case being taken lo Otoe county for trial.

After battling against the waves for forty-eight years, sometimes at the very pinacle of success and again almost sub merged by adversity, it has bat tled on and on, with a frequent change of pilots until at last poor old Ceorge liolton took charge and on the 15th of this month the old hull went down like a rotten potato in a bucket of swill kinder pulling the hole in after it. It is the best, thing that ever happened to Ihe republican party in Cass county in years a sort, of relief to Ihe office-holders and politi cians who have been called on again and again lo tide it over. It has passed into the hands of the publisher of the Plaltsniouth Journal, who although demo cratic almost, to the extent of smelling of the "solid south," yet they are not paupers and don't ask for something foT nothing. County seat republican merchants are said to believe in advertising to some extent, but look upon it as a business investment and have patronized the paper across Ihe way more than Ihey have the de ceased publication. And why not? Merchants no longer advertise just to help the publisher out, but because they realize that it pays them and the paper that the peo ple read is Ihe logical one to plant their ads in. It perhaps will not be many moons before some damphule will feel that he must save the coun try by establishing a republican paper in Platlsmouth. He will giv e away a I in piano lo Die most popular rube in Ihe county in (dcr to get a circulation and then the county officials of Ihe republican failh who dares to think that Cass county's boundry extends beyond Ihe cily limits of Plal I smooth when county patron age is to be placed will be called a traitor lo the party. If seems almost pathetic that the old Plallsmoulh Herald is no more, yet none can but feel I hat it outlived its usefulness. Louis- v ille Courier. ALBERT D. WILTON, GREEN WOOD BANKER, ACQUITTED Albert D. Welton, the Creen wood hanker, was acquitted Sat urday in Lincoln on an indict ment of twelve counts by the jury in the federal court, which dis agreed on the six remaining counts.

Statements That May Be In vestigated. Testimony of Platts mouth Citizens. When a Platlsmouth citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his ex perience, you can rely on his. sincerity. The statements of peo ple residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. In vestigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Plaltsniouth resident. No stronger proof of merit can be bad.
