FOR BUSINE&S JSi. E 1 Plattsmouth, Neb. D RICE Clothier J largest and flntst stockin thee than inferior goods are sold -wwHj ' . Miss Saiiaii Oknk Jkwktt'h next story has been bought by the Ladie's Home Journul, and it will chartly begin in that magazine. Campan'ini, the famous tenor has written a striking article on "How to Train the Voice" for the Ladie's Home Journal, and it will appear in the No vember number of that periodical. A Significant urticle appeared in the Journal the other evening defending at great length and with much zeal, the character and standing of Lemasters, the independent candidate for the Senate. Mr. McClintic, has paid his assessment, and now Lemasters seems to be the favorite of that democratic organ of free trad'.'. Mr. Mc Ciiutic's friendsj should pay J off their knavish pretenders by voting for Thomas and thereby set the seal of their indigna tion deep and hard upon the crowd that wculd take McClintic's money and then sell him out for Lemasters. It is now more than five hundred years since a handful of patriots in the Alps established the Swiss league of free repubLcs,and founded a government t Vi u t mm c r i iwwl 1 1 run rYi flif rl i m o v r i democracy in the nineteenth century. 2 To American readers there can be but few subjects of greater interest than the story of a government which has for so long a period been conducted by the poople anel for the rwnnle; and not only all political etude : t all thoughtful American citizens, ..n welcome with pleasure an article on the institation" and people of Switzerland which is an nounced to appear in Harper's Magazine for November. The author of this arti cle, Mr. S. H. M. Byers, having been for sixteen years a resident of Switzerland, is amply qualified to give much valuable information regarding that ancient and thorough going governmont. While the McKinley bill was being debated in Congress a great mass meet ing was held in the city of Sheffield, England, to pretest against it, and to demand that that the British Govern ment should interfere to prevent it from becoming a law. Just what the Sheffield people expected their goTernment to do, affords a large opportunity for amusing conjecture; but at the meeting, according to the report cabled over to the New York Herald, the leading speaker, who was a Sheffield manufacturer of cutlery, after stating that he remembered the time when the American supplied work for the entire city of Sheffield, went on to declare that the McKinley bill was a bill to raise American taxes out of the pockets of the Sheffield importers and that Sheffield was not going to pay pntish taxes and American taxes to. This statement shows very clearly that the foreigners know who pay our pro tective eluties! Sheffield may tlo as she pleases about it, but under the McKinley bill, if she desires to sell her goods in American market' she will have to pay for that privilege, and the amount of her payment will be exactly that sum which is the difference between the cheap labor of Sheffield and the expensive la bor of America. Some time ago, in a speech elelivered in the Canadian Parliament. Sir John Macdonald, the Premier of the Dominion governmont, gave a most apt and accur ate illustration of how our protective tariff works. This was his exact lan guage: "Suppose the man has 100 acres on th? Canadian side of the hue una 100 acres on the American side of the line. Suppose he grows 1,000 bushels of barl; y on each one of his farms. lie takes his 1,000 American bushels to the American market and gets one $1 a bushel for it. He takes his 1.000 burhel- of Canadian barley to tin American m.-.rk-1 and ;-e'.s 8c per bushel, because lie has to pay l "c duty for taking it across the line. How cin it, in this case, be said that the con- sumer pays the duty? It comes out of L the pockets of the Canadian farmers What better proof is wanted to de monstrate the fact that protective dutie' are not paid by the American consumer but by the foreign producer?

The home of Mr. Yandervoort, the baker at Malvern, and that of Mr. W. J. Smith at the same place, are in mourning over the sudden and unanuouaceel elepar ture of their two boy? for parts unknown. The Vandervcort boy is about 15) years old. wjjile Guy Smi:h is about 1(5. Mrs. Smith, the mother of Guy. is a sister of D. IL Wheeler of Omaha and i. almost frantic over the young man's escapade. The father was in Plnttsmouth this morning on his way to Omah i to find the boys if possible, though le- in no clu'.' as to their whereabout?. Gs:y Smith is a bright active young feilcw ef good habits, but it seems he fell in with voun " Yandervoort and the two h-.iv ,,, ... .,. t, .nrA , ihc, account. If the mother could take a philosophical view of the matter and let the boy (d-me, the chances are about a hundred. To cue that be would return home in a i hort time, much wiser, and better satisfied with his lot; but mothers are u't usually made of that kind of T material. Mr. W' th. i iUI. the new agt-ct of the Lump company started out this morning to sell direct to the consumers; much better prices are obtained in that way thay by selling to the electrical sepply companies as has been the the custom, The train was an hour late from the east this morning on account of the east ern excursion."

Weidman, Fred Gorder, Wm Neville and Ashur Clark, as pallbearers came along in carriages, followed by the hearse, the relatives of the deceased ana a tuneral concource that has never been equaled this city. Notwitstanding in the threatening appearance of the weather. the crowd that paid their respects to the memory of the deceased amounted to throng that extended from the cemetery to the end of the ayenue. The service .i it t. t i hi me cuurcn were solemn ana impres sive, hie chant of the last sad requiem over the remains of the departed being particularly affecting. Fatal Accident. A freight brakeman by the name of Steel was run oyer at Chalco last night by the west bound merchandise fieiht train No. 23. He was taken to Lincoln end medical aid summoned, but the skill of the physician was powerless to rally the vital forces and he died this morning at six o'clock. The details of the accident could not be learned: it seems that both lower limbs were cut off, He resided in Lincoln. The firemen held their regular monthly meting last night, at the council cham ber and transacted the usual grist of routine business. Will Clements the genial manager of the Western Union in this city came home this morning from a pleasant trip down to St. Louis and other southern points. In Police Court Thos.

He heard the great debate at Lincoln between Connell and Bryan and ays Bryan was badly worsted in the discussion, a fact that was generally eon ceded in Lincoln. The Douglas County republicans nom inated a splendid ticket at their conven tion iu Omaha yesterday in strong contrast to Hitchcock's "yellow dog" ticket nominated a few days ago. The Senatorial nominations nre W. F. Beehel C. E. Yost and W. F. Gurlev. a trio that could not be excelled in all Nebraska. A Pleasant Surprise. George Longenhagen, a popular and well known citizen of the First ward reached his 51st birthday yesterday, and to properly commemorate the event, his estimable wife and son Fred organized a thorough surprise for him. He went downJtown to attend an S. of V. meet ing and returned bome about 0 o'clock to find his pleasant home taken posses sion of by his neighbors and friends. A good social time was had until supper was announced, when all repaired to the dining room, where a royal feast had been prepared by the good housewife that really added new encomiums to the well known merit of Pennsylvania cook ery. All the delicacies of the season, as wTcll as the best of thj substantial were provided in the greatest abundance, anel the way the crowd enjoyed the collation can be better understood when we say that those present were- Henry Cooper, Fred Bates, A. J. Price, L. C. Curtis, Andy Frye, T. II. Leach, J. Hutchinson wife and daughter, F. II. Steriwker, wife and daughter, M. D. Polk, wife and son, Mr.;. T. L. Murphy and daughter.

Vmong the many presents rcived was an easy chair from Mrs. L. and a tine, well executed crayon picture by Fred Longenhagen, that was very fine indeed. The box of cigars that was re ceived were passed around, and we can youch for their being good. The Grand Army boys made an appropriate present, and at a late hour the party adjourned, all having spent a very pleasant evening. Mr. John Quick of Allience is visiting Frank Conclia.

Thay were not only juucfi larger than the western beet but were sweeter than some cf the Grand Island samples. Why can't Plattsmouth have a sugar factory? It would do far more for the town than a new railroad, and would be completed this winter if we can outbid Fremont.
