PEACE ON EARTH
AND GOOD WILL
TOWARD BET
The Season of Seasons for Joy and
Happiness Is That of Christ
mas Time.
Tomorrow brings again to us the
anniversary of the birth of Him
whose coming brought into being the
Christian religion with its eloctrine of
peace and good will, rnd on this day
throughout the Christian world mil
lions of men and women gather to
pay their tribute to the Savior of
mankind. Down through the ages
since the birth in the humble stable of
Bethlehem the Christians have sur
vived persecutions and outrages that
their cause might live until today,
when there is not a country on tho
globe that does not pay tribute to tin;
the cross of the religion of the Princ?
of Peace.
Here in this land of ours, practical
ly the only one where there is no
strife on this Christmas day of i.
there will be millions of hearts filled
with joy and happiness celebrating n
the truest sense the doctrine of ''pear.?
on earth, good will toward men," wiih
the sunshine beaming tlown on peac. -ftd
home in marked conliast to tlr
scenes in Europe, where nation ;
which, too, claim to embrace th
Christian creed are engaged in mort..;
combat to settle the question of su
premacy and where millions of bra-
men on both sides are being ofTerc 1
up as sacrifices, not for right but 1 : '
might and power. How the aching
hearts of those countries must fe I
the awful ordeal on the day th t
should be given over to the mingling
of rejoicings over the coming of tl J
Lamb of Bethelhem.
Here in Plattsmouth this year tl 2
citizens have responded nobly to t! 2
work of assisting the needy ar 1
helpless, and as a result there will ';
many of those in want relieved by t! ?
committees from tho different fra
ternal organizations, as well ; s
church societies. The Journal, in
keeping with the custom of years, wi:l
observe the day. by not issuing the
daily as usual, and will allow tho
employees a chance to observe the day
in proper shape.
We desire to wish all our fri?nd.s
and patrons in the city and county a
very Happy Christmas and a Ne.v
Year filled with all kinds of poc 1
luck and happiness for themselves
and families, and that the year 1115
may be one of the happiest in their
lives.
A PLAY WORTHY OF THE
PATROHABE OF THE ABUSE-
MENT-LOVING PUBLIC
From Wednesday's Daily.
The members of the Catholic clergy
will be most interested in the produc
tion of the brand new play, 'T!i2
Broken Rosary," by Kirkpatric'c
Boone, which is to be seen at the Par
mele theater on Christmas night, De
cember 25th. The play has as its
central figure a priest whose love of
justice and fair play makes hir.i
espouse the cause of a young gi 1
whose mother wishes to sell her to a
millionaire divorcee as his wife. Th 2
priest, convinced that such a marriag;
would be a sin, trios in every way -.0
prevent it. The girl is in love with a
young athlete and he with her. Th-j
wedding of the rich man and the gir
is just about to take place when it i
prevented by a manifestation of th :
wrath of God in answer to the prayer .
of the priest. The play is one of th ;
mof-t powerful spectacles ever pro
duced on the stage. "The Syndicate"
is responsible for this magnified:
production, which assures theater
goers the best.
How to Bankrupt the Doctors.
A prominent New York physicu.r
says, "If it were not for the thin
stockings and thin soled shoes worn
by woir.en the doctors would probabl.
be bankrupt." When you contract a
cold do not wait for it to develop into
pneumonia, but treat it at once. Char 1
beilain's Cough Remedy is intended
especially for coughs and colds, and
has won a wide reputation by its
cures of these diseases. It is most
effectual and is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all elealers.

Shoots a Fine Red Fox.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Yesterday Lester Burrows, out near
the slaughter house north of this city,
shot an animal that is certainly a rare
one for this country and few of which
are to be fount!. This is the red fox
and the animal measured some four
foct in length from his tail to the
nose, and Mr. Burrows feels well
pleased at his markmanship. It has
been a long time sin.ee aTiy of these
foxes were seen here and they had
come to be considered almost extinct
in this part of the country.
RAILROAD LABOR ORGANI
ZATIONS GETTING UNEASY
IN REGARD TO LEGISLATION
"Railroad labor organizations will
have legislative committees and
scouts in Lincoln this winter to watch
the legislature, to ask for somo
changes in laws and to keep an eye
on railroad manager.',1' says a Lincoln
member of one of the orders.
"I can't say just what will be asked
for. The full crew law, the train
length limit and the semi-monthly
pay-day are changes that a great
many members would like to sec
brought about, but whether an effort
will be made to -rot a irreat many
things, or the efforts will be concen
trated on a few things and hard work
put in for teh things most wanted, I
can't say.
"This is true: The labor organiza
tions do not feel that the coming Icg
i laturc is going to .be particulaily
f iendly, although there is no reason
to feel that it will be hostile. The
pendulum seems to have sort of
swung away from us this time. Jurt
iwhv this feeling should bo held I can't
:-ay, and it may be a feeling among a
'ew and not by any means general.
The defeat of the full crew law in
Missouri by the referendum vote,
owever, was disheartening, and
rieuns that a better organization
would be needed to get such a law
'hrough in Nebra.-ka.
About all that I know is that we
will have men on phuml. There is
some complaint that men who have
stood guard duiing former sessions
of the legislature for the railway or
ganisations have not fare I well after
ward, but there will be r.o lack of
volunteers for this duty if it becomes
necessnry to call for them." State

m AULT DIES
FROM EFFECTS OF
PARALYTIG STROKE
The Deceased- Lady Had Resided in
This County and Mills County,
Iowa, for About Forty Years.
Last evening at 8 o'clock, after an
illness covering a little over a week,
Mrs. Loretta Ault, one of the 'most
highly esteemed ladies in the city,
was called to her last reward, pass
ing peacefully away while the mem
bers of the family gathered around
her bedside for the last farewell. Mrs.
Ault, since suffering a paralytic
stroke last week, has been gradually
sinking, and her recovery was de
spared of by her physician and
friends, and all that loving hands
could do was to sooth the last hours
of this good woman.
Mrs. Ault was some CO years of
aire, having been born at Kalamazoo,
Michigan, in 1855, and for the past
forty years she had made her home
in this part of the country, living in
Miils county, Iowa, for several years
before removing to this e ity, where
she had made her hou.e for the past
few years. Her husband passed
r.way rome twenty years r.go while
the family were living in Mills coun
ty. Mr?. Ault, during the years she
had resided here made many friends
by her kindly deeds and friendly man-
Tier of meeting with those whom she
knew, and her place in the large
circle of friends will be one hard to
fill, indeed. She was very faithful in
the little things of life and was
re?c!y at all times to lend assistance
to anyone she could. Mrs. Ault wr.s a
most devout member cf the Daught
ers of Rebekah and the Woman's Re
lief Corps and there was never a time
when her assistance was needed in
these organizations that she failed in
attendance, and the members of these
orders had learned to love and respect
her for the mc.ny splendid traits of
character displayed in the work she
had performed for them.
There are loft to mourn the death
of this grand good lady five' children:
Miss Emma Ault, Glenv.ood; James
Ault, Plattsmouth; Mrs. Mary Sinn,
Fort Collins, Colorado; Mrs. William
Mendenhall, Plattsmouth, and Charles
F. Ault of Minnesota. To these chil
dren the deepest sympathy of the en
tire community will go out in their
hour of grief and sorrow.
The funeral services will be held
from the late home tomorow morning
at S:.".0 o'clock, and the body taken
to Glenwood, Iowa, on No. 4, where
it will be laid to it last long rest be
side that of the husband.
Mr. Charles B. Ault, the husband
of the deceased la ly, was a soldier of
the Union during the war, being a
member of the Seventh Pennsylvania
cavalry.
YOUNG COUPLE SLIPPED ONE
OVER M THEIR FRIENDS
For several montns past the friends
of two of our young people have been
very suspicious cf their actions, and
while, they had been keeping company
with each other for some time, it was
suspected that they had slipped one
over on their friends and were mar
ried, and that fact has developed.
Both of the parties denied the fact
before when questioned by their
friends, and it was only through, a
mere chance that the real truth was
divulged. The groom, who is employ
ed in the Burlington Paint shop and
had occasion to secure a pass, and
when the clerk asked if he desired it
made out to himself and wife the
young man responded, "yes," but
later stated he war only "joshing" the
cleik, but, nevertheless, the pass was
made out in that way and the happy
young people have finally decided to
no longer leave their friends in the
dark, but let them in on the real
truth, which is that they were mar
ried several months ago, and it is re
ported to us that the groom' has been
busy since the announcement passing
out the cigars. Both of the contract
ing parties arc' vcy popular among a
large circle of warm friends and
their marriage will be most pleasant
news to everyone, although many feel
that they should have been let in on
the information in advance. Mr. and
Mrs. Gobelman will continue to make
their home in this city.
whore she will spend a part of her
vacation with her sisters, Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Marten. ,
