Auditor Moore has decided to pay
district judges up to and including
January S. According to tbe constitu
tion their terms of office expire Janu
ary 9, but the statute fixes tbe date at
January 1. Now that all are to re

that they will be willing to perform
any work that may come up before
their pay stops. It may be important
to litigants to see that they deal with
tbe rightful judge after January 1.

These absences of the customary
formalities were because of an episode
occurring at tbe Douglas county jail

ran past the keeper and disappeared
in tbe darkne3S, presumably with a
broken leg, and made his way to a se
cure retreat.
But tbe end of the term bad come

"It has been learned, among other
things," says Mrs. Rorer, "that beef
steak may be made tender by brushing
it well on both sides with a pastry
brush dipped in a mixture of equal
parts of oil and vinegar. Care must
be taken to brush so that the liquid
sinks into the fiber. The steak must
be put away then for twenty-four
hours, and when cooked at the end of
that time, it will be found tender and
excellent."

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleeding of the lower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry ns
to the natnre of the disease and learned
that I bad a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles.- Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast abont for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of tbe famous Magnet Pile
Kili.br. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.

It would be a pretty good idea for
Chief Dunn to take bis scythe and pur
sue Abdul's course awhile. There are
many dogs running at large on Main
street, and a few deaths among them
would be a great benefit. Incidentally
tbe practice prevalent among tbe
sporting class of parading prize bull
pups on Main street might be discour
aged. There is much talk among members
of the fire department as to the dele
gates that will go to the state conven
tion at Grand Island next month. So
far there are about fifteen who have
signified their intention of going and
Plattsmouth will have a star delega
tion. Ex-Chief Clifford will head the
delegation.
In the event that war is declared be
tween this country and England a
magnificent regiment will march forth
from Plattsmouth. It will be officered
by Hon. Wm. Neville with Peter Han
rahan, Dave O'Brien, D. C. McEntee
and other Irish-Americans as subor
dinates and will put forth a fight that
will create a sensation. The company
drills at 12:50 a. m. every day and are
becoming quite dexterous.
Last Sunday in New York that
blatant sensation monger, Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst, took occasion to deliver a
severe philippic against the public
press for its recent utterances upon
war. He characterized tbe press as
sensational, immoral, compt and in-
clean and administered unwarranted
castigation to the publishers. In
some respocts the Dr. is right. When
the public press took occasion to print
tbe mouthings of this reformer (?) and
quoted bim as the one man best fitted
to reform the universe it was subject
to these charges. There never was a
justification for printing any accounts
of the liev. Dr's. explorations in tbe
tenderloin district, and they served no
good purpose. In doing this the press
erred they gave the good Doctor
credit for being honest whereas ex
perience has proven him to be a self-
seeking schemer. It is the common
lot to have all these great reform
movements in politics led by men of
this class, who seize upon any thing of
this nature to create a transient glory
for themselves and whose insatiable
desire for self advancement invariably
causes failure to camp upon tbe move
ment.
That Kentucky republican who
made the mistake of voting a prohibi
tion ticket has just died. Thus does
justice pursue her course. This fel
low discovered, when too late, that he
bad voted for prohibition and at once
took to his bed. He refused nourish
ment of all kinds and of course, he
had to quit us. There is a moral to
all this. Let us examine our ballots j
more carefully ere vwe vote or we may
make this mistake. The consequences
of such actions here would be bad but
this is especially commended to peo
ple who live in Nebraska City.

The contributions to the monument

George. W. Smalley, the American
representative of the London Times,
Sunday made another of his frantic
outbreaks in the special from New
York to the Omaha Bee. This person j
has spent so much of his life in Eng-1
land that his digestion has become im
paired, and he now mouths vetement
utterances sigainst ai: thing Ameri
can. Of course, Smalley cuts but
little figuie in the eyes of the western
public, as his dolorous clamorings are
understood ia their true light, but
still, there is no occasion fcr any
paptrof spirit printing his pro-Eog
lisb utterances as American to tbe
backbone. It is a pity that so good, a
newspaper as tbe Bee should stain its
pages with such imbesilitic vaporings
as Smalley's letters.
The state board of transportation
has benn holding seances at Omaha,
relative to a new union depot, the

mosque that this may be done, for if a
