No vote returned.
It is recomended that no proxies
le addmitted to the convention,
and that the delegates present be
authorized to cast the full vote of

It is further recomended that the
rotate central committee select the
temporar' organization of the con
vention. John C. Watson,
W'ALT.M. SEELY, Chairman.
Secretary.
One man earning good wages in
an industry in this country is worth
half a dozen in the same industiy
in Kurope as customers for the
Western farmers. Do not forget it.
Indianapolis Journal.
WE are sorrj-, of course, for the
misfortunes of our Kuropean
friends in the failure of their grain
crop, but we are happj- to be able
to supply all their needs in this
direction at a reasonable price.
THERE is a good deal of unnec
essary howling about "the depre
ciation of farm lands." Try to buy
a good farm and you will lind it has
value. There is more certainty in
the values of farm lands to-da3' than
in the values of any canal bridge or
railroad property, and as arulethey
pa j-better dividends.
It "is now reported that Presi
dent Uarr son has authorized the
statenicui that if Mr. Blaine de
sires the republican nomination for
president he will step out of his
way. If this proves to be a fact it
will be the best of news for the
western people, who will support
lJJaine against all competitors.
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
This stands a irood chance of
being one of the cries of the next cam
paign. The cry will not be raised
against any one who is living
here and making this his home but
against those who are coining here
at the rate of over half a million
year. Knough is enough and if it
is true as a German paper states
that ..pauper emigrants laid the
foundation of the granduer of the
republic," it is no reason why we of
a later generation should recieve
ami care for all the pauper
emiirrants of the world. The em
igrants who came to America be
tween three and four hundred years
ago, were not the paupers coming
now and even if the' were, is not
the pauper capable of destroying
what he has builded? He is, be
cause he knows no better. A pauper
having the hardships of establish
ing a government in a new world
and determined to have justice, is
not the pauper that follows in
the wake of civilization and gets
his living more like a leech and
vampire than anything else.
Christ set an example of living
and suffering for others but the
example is seldom followed not
even by his own followers. To-daj-the
rule for every individual and
every nation is to be watchful of
their own interest regardless of
others. It may not be very Christ
like but it has more followers than
Christ has. If this is to be the rule,
then we, who possess America with
all its resources and advantages,
have a right to keep and enjoy them
if we can and there is no law, ex
cept the example of Christ, to com
pel us to divide our possessions
with anyone. If this is to be
the rule, then we are justified in
shutting out the world if we see fit;
we are justified in protecting our
industries although it ruins a dozen j
Kuropean nations. The Knglish
are legislating for the Knglish, the
Germans are legislating for the
Germans and where sire you going
to find your reason that the Amer
icans have not the right to legislate
for Americans? Walkerville Tele

Sofia wart a threw. She was of medium
height, with bright brown eyes and a
Bweet face. These with a fine form and
charming manner made her much sought
after by the youug men of North Haven
She chose to bestow her sweetest smiles
on Julius Button, a whole 60uled, hardy
young sailor, and all those who sought
Sofia's hand felt a pang of envy when
Julius led her to the altar.
The young couple settled down to the
humdrum life of the email village in
which both had been born and reared.
For a time they were as happy as ever
two young people who seemed made for
each other could be.
t -
JuiuiB nau accumulated a snug sum
of money and was disposed to take life
easily. The apple of his eye was his
wife. Next in his affection was his
violin, and with those two for company
be was content to spend his evenings at
home.
Although her husband played very
well. Sofia cared nothing for music and
detested a violin above all things. For
a wnue she said nothinz. Then she
would leave Julius and his violin and
would run over to one of the neighbor's
to speud the evening. It dawned upon
Julius that the strains he drew from his
violin were not appreciated by his wife.
Then Sofia began to show that beneath
a sweet exterior there lay smoldering a
fiery temper that when once let loose
was simply ungovernable, and violent
outbursts on her part became more and
more frequent.
Julius bore it all uncomplainingly, for
he loved his wife dearly. His was a gen
tle nature that never held malice and he
knew Sofia loved him, so he was patient.
But all things must end some time, and
bis patience was no exception to the
rule.
ANGER THAT CAUSED SORROW.
One afternoon Julius went home and
picked up his violin. Fie had drawn the
bow but a few times before Sofia ex
claimed, "1 wish you would stop that
noise. "
Julius paid no heed to the request
which had been made in such a manda
tory tone. Sofia became angrier as her
husband continued playing, and at last
shouted, "Julius, I want you to stop that
noise. But J ulins only smiled and kept
on playing. Sofia grew livid with rage,
and seizing a pan of water threw it into
Julius face.
Then her husband put away his violin
and left the house. In the evening he
came back and began packing up his
clothing. Sofia had recovered from her
paroxysm of anger and was willing to be
forgiven, but did not ask it. Her wom
an's curiosity could not be restrained,
however, and she tremblingly asked
what it all meant.
The only reply her husband vouchsafed
was that be had shipped on a vessel
bound for Virginia after a load of oysters.
Days and weeks and months passed and
the absent husband was not heard Crom
and Sofia went to live with her hus
band's parents.
One day thirty-five years later the elder
Button read of the arrival in New York
of the United States brig Bainbridge,
Captain Julius Button. He said nothing of
the great hope that had sprung up in his
breast, but hastened to New York, only
to find that the brig had sailed a few
hours before. But his journey was not
altogether fruitless, for he learned that
tiie captain of the Bainbridge was his
own son. It lifted a heavy load from
the old man's heart, although he felt
keenly his disappointment at not seeing
his son, who had for many years been
mourned as dead.
FORTY TEARS LATER.
Sadly the old man returned to his
home in North Haven. From that time
he became a close reader of the news
papers and at last, four years later, his
vigilance was rewarded. He read: "The
United States brig Bainbridge, Captain
Button, is expected to arrive at the
Brooklyn navy yard tomorrow." Once
more tne old man journej-ed to the
metropolis. He found the brig with dif
ficulty and was ushered into the cabin
to await the captain, who was on shore.
Captain Button looked curiously at
the gray haired old man whom he had
been told wished to see him, but did not
recognise him. Nor did the father rec
ognize his son. Slowly the old man told
his errand.
"1 ail Captain Button, sir," responded
the captain.
"Don't you know me, Julius? I am
your father. "
It was a very affecting meeting, and
when it was brought to a close the father
asked tremulously. "Julius, what shall I
tell mother?"
Captain Button hesitated for a mo
ment, then, without replying to the ques
tion, he asked, "Where is Sofia?"
"She still lives with us."
"'Then you way tell mother that I may
come to North Haven when I come back
from my next voyage."
An hour later Button, Sr., was on his
way home, and Button, Jr., was on a
voyage to China. When he returned two
years later he learned that his father and
mother were dead. Sofia still occupies
the old homestead! but Captain Button
has never 6een her since they parted.

, A Floral Curiosity.
We have just been shown a curiou3
plant by Mrs. Judge Chesnut. It is
called the "snake plant," and is an oddi
ty. The stem of the plant is of succu
lent nature and resembles the body of a
snake. It had a large Easter lily shaped
flower of dark purple color, with a 6ingle
purple stamen. Its odor was offensive.
It is a cariosity in this town, no one hav
ing erdr seen a flower like it. It was pre
raaUd to Mrs. Chesnut by her sister of
Frankfort, Ky. Platte City (Mo.) Landmark.
This part of the city has
water mains, electric arc
church and school priveledges and
a new church edilice just erected
of which the whole city is proud.
Plattsmouth's steady growth for
live vears nast almost doubling its
Tinmilation: the advance stand it
has taken regarding public im
provements, the certainty of a new
$80,000 court house; the completion
of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. li. & Q. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
Plattsmouth.
With a view to the encouragement
of a still greater growth of this part
of the city, we will continue to sell
lots on monthly payments, furnish
money with which to erect houses
will exchange lots for other im
proved city property or for desir"
able improved or unimproved lands
It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this disirable
property-. Out of over EIGHTY pres
ent owners of South Park
property none are speculators
hence there are no fictitous values
and lo4s are selling at about the
price they were immediatly after
it was platted a strong argument
why the present is a most desirable
time for investments. Much addi-
tional information regarding South
