A hacking1 cough is not only annoy ing to others, but ia dangerous to the person whohas it. One Minute Cough Cure will quickly put an end to it. F. G. Fricke & Co. De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve is an antiseptic, soothing and healing ap plication for burns, scalds, bruises, etc., and cures piles like magic. It instantly stops pain. F. G. Fricke & Co. Mrs. Emily Drew, for forty years a resident of Plattsmouth and Cass county, left for Omaha this afternoon, where she intends taking up her resi dence; her two sons having precceded her several weeks. Many lives of usefulness have been cut short by neglect to break up an ordinary cold. Pneumonia, bronchitis and even consumption can be averted by the prompt use of One Minute Cough Cure. F. G. Fricke & Co. , Tetter, eczema and all similar skin troubles are cured by the use of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. It soothes at once, and restores the tissues to their natural condition, and never fails to cure piles. F. G. Fricke & Co. They are so little you hardly know you are taking them. They cause no griping, yet they act quickly and most thoroughly. Such are the famous little pills known as De Witt's Little Early Risers. Small in size, great in results. F. G. Fricke & Co. The lecture of Wm. Hawley Smith, at the Presbyterian church in this city last evening, was fully ud to the high standard which was expected. A large audience greeted the speaker and today we have heard nothing, but praise for Mr. Smith's efforts. ' " On account of the hard times the Boston Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin com pany, heretofore a high priced organ izanion, has reduced their admission price to 25 and 35 cent9, thus giving everybody an opportunity to witness a perfect production of a perfect play. Many political speakers, clergymen, singers and others who use the voice excessively, rely upon One Minute Cough Cure to prevent huskiness and laryngitis. Its value as a preventive is only equaled by its power to affoid instantaneous relief. F. G. Fricke&Co. Chronic constipation is a painful, disagreeable and life-shortening diffi culty. It deranges Iho system, causes sick headache, bad breath, and poisons the blood. It can be readily overcome by De Witt's Little Early Risers. These little pills are great regulators. F. G. Fricke & Co. The Boston Ideal Uncle Tom com pany embraces many first-class and promising stars in the dramatic pro fession. It is an immense organiza tion, requiring a larger number of people to give this play than any other show on the road. At White's opera house tonight. Boston Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin Co., played to a packed house last night and seemed to give entire satisfaction. The specialties were all new and good and the company is composed of first-class talent. Leader, Des Moines, Iowa. The above company will ap pear at White's opera house tonight. Special Meeting of the Council. At last night's special meeting of the city council the proposition to lease the gas and electric light plant was agreed to almost unanimously, the only vote recorded in the negative was that of Mr. Heisel. The News be lieves the council acted wisely in the matter and that with the immediate adoption of the moonlight schedule the city will be enabled to operate the plant at a neat profit over and above the fixed charges. The $250 per month which the tax-payers are called upon to pay will be paid from the profits of the plant to the great re lief of the treasury. We believe the council showed wisdom in making the deal, although two or three business men thought otherwise. We feel cer tain that future events will fully show the good business judgment of the council and that their opinion of the proposition will be fully shared by the public generally. Oswald Answer the Journal Oswald Guthman, that old-time democrat of Plattsmouth. is now in the republican column working for sound money and protection. Louis ville Courier. Oswald is evidently a republican for revenue only." lie was an active candidate for the nomination of as seasor ut the First ward democratic primaries last August, and when he was defeated, be immediate) v began casting about for some party to adopt him. At the republican primaries the other night Oswald was nominated for assessor, and he will probably be a good" republican until after No vemoer d when no will again be a political outcast. Platt3tnouth Jour nal. My answer to the Journal is that Oswald Guthman is old enough to at' tend to his own business in private as well as political affairs, but sho.jld I be so unfortunate I am confident that the judge, whose duty it is to appoint guardians, could perform that task without calling on the Journal gang It is a fact that I was a candidate for assessor at the First ward democratic primaries (and I am still a candidate) You say that immediately after tbe primaries I begun "casting about" for some party to adopt mo. This is a rank prevarication. I was not nomi nated at the republican primaries, but am running as an independent. As to my working for McKinley, I will say that as a free American citizen I will do as I think best. I suggest that if the Journal gang properly care for their own business thev will have their hands full. Respectfully. O. GlITHMANN. Republican Kalljr Last Night. Judge Hayward spoke to a crowd at Waterman hall last night, which packed all the available space of the rocm. It was an able speech and stirred up plenty of sound money en thusiasm. The speakers array of facts and figures so aptly put must have done great good for the cause of re publicanism of which he is one of its ablest representatives in Nebraska. Fractured Her Arm. Mattie, the little four-year-old daughter of L. G. Larson, had the misfortune to fall from a fence while at play Sunday and break her right arm about an inch above the elbow joint. The injured member was set and the little sufferer is resting com fortably, but fears are entertained that the elbow joint will always be stiff. Look Out for It.

"The Pueblo Indian women are often Very pretty as girls, and lome of them make stately young mothvjV' writes Hamlin Garland in Ladies' T 1 ce Jour nal. "They work generally in groups of three or four, cooking, whitewashing, weaving or painting pottery. They seem to have a good deal to chatter about, and their smiling faces are very agree able. They hare most excellent white teeth. Their ceremonial dresa is very picturesque, especially the costume of the Aooma and Isleta girls. All burdens are carried by the women of Acoma, Isleta and Laguna npon the head, and they have, in consequence, a magnifi oent carriage even late in life. The old women of Walpi, on the contrary, are bent and down looking. They carry their burdens on their backs slung in a blanket. The girls of Isleta wear a light cloth over their heads, Spanish fashion, and manage it with fine grace and co quetry. "The everyday dress of the Hopi women consists of a sort of kilt, which is wrapped around the hips and f astened with a belt, a modification of the blan ket or wolf skin. Above this a sort of sleeveless chemise partly covers the bosom. Their hair is carefully tended, but is worn in an ungraceful mode by some of the women. The women of llano cut the hair in front square across about to the line of the lips, while the back hair is gathered into a sort of billet. The front hair hangs down over the faces, often concealing one eye. The unmarried women in Walpi wear their hair in a strange way. They coil it into two big disks just above their ears, 'the intent being to symbolize their youth and promise by imitating tbe squash flower; the matrons correspond ingly dress their hair to symbolize the ripened squash. ' Some of the maidens are wonderfully Japanese in appear ance. ' ' A CURIOUS OLD LADY. Parsimonious In Her Own Affairs, Tet Lav isU With Others. When Henri Rochefort planned the erection of a workman's glass works at Carmaux to help the glass workers, he received an anonymous gift of 100,000 francs. The donor was Mine. Dimbourg, who has since died at Boulogne, aged 72. She was a curious old lady, wildly generous, yet careful to miserliness, sending her gift to the glass works anonymously and then complaining when her name was omitted from the Etone bearing a list of subscribers. She lived in an unpretentious house, fur nished in the plainest fashion, hoarded np every scrap or paper and bit of rag she found, yet helped all whose want came to her ears. She sent 1,000 francs here, 3,000 there, while her own serv ants could scarcely get enough to eat, and their wages were extremely small The money for the glass works was sent in a small linen bag. comparatively worthless, which no one thought of re turning to her. She sent a servant to claim it, how ever, and was greatly annoyed that it had not been sent back. She was very fond of cats, but even the food of her pets was measured out with a niggardly hand, and the youngest kitten had its milk in the cover of a pomade pot that it might not drink too much. During her last illness she scolded the nurse for rinsing a glass with filtered water. "Filtered water wears out the filter. You must be more economical. " Yet this woman, so parsimonious in her own concerns, lavished benefits on the poor wherever she found them and made princely gifts out of a lifo annuity by no means large. Philadelphia Times. A Crocodile One Hundred Feet Ixtng. it is a well known fact, even among those who make no pretenso of having their heads stored with geological and polemtological lore, that the beasts and reptijes which existed in the early ages of the world were giants when com pared with the very largest representa tives of the same, types which still sur vive. This fact has recently been strik ingly illustrated by a find made at Poitiers, where excavations are being made under the auspices of the Oriental Academy of Science. At that place a crocodile tooth was found which weighs almost seven pounds. M. Gerard, the professor in charge of the working corps, says that there is no doubt that the tooth formerly belonged to a gigan tic crocodile, and that there is no possi bility whatever that he has confounded the tooth with that of the megalvasau rns, as some scientists have hinted. M. Gerard says: "It is a typical croc odile tooth and in probably the largest specimen of the kind ever seen by man. In my estimation it is frcm the head of a reptile not less than 100 feet in length." St. Louis Republic. Have the Designer's Initial.

In last week's issue of the Plattsmouth Journal 1 noticed an account of tbe county commissioners granting a right to the people of Eight Mile Grove pre cinct to vote on a proposition to issue $4,000 to aid in the construction of a free wagon bridge across the Platte river at this point. It further states that it was granted upon condition that the signers thereto agreed to pay all expenses above the $4,000, which the tax payers of Eight Mile Grove precinct will pay, provided the proposition carries at the election, In justice to the signers of said pe tition allow me to say that the election was granted upon no such condition, The election was granted as the pe tition read, with no amendments. It reads "That unless a sufficient sum to complete the bridge is raised by some other means than taxing the people of this precinct the bonds will not be sold." Whether the Journal was misin formed or did this to help defeat the bonds we cannot sav, but it seems as though all sore politicians wore op posed to granting election. This is not a question of politics, but one that will decide whether the people of this precint will bow to the will of one man or will the eo to the polls on Novem ber 3 and vote for their own interests. Since the special election which was held in July several have said they were in favor of the bridge at that time,. but were afraid to vote for it, as sooner or later those opposed to it would find it out. And yet wo call this a free country ! Those opposing the bridge aro doing all in their power to prevent its being built, yet they will tell those that are support ing it that they also are in favor of the bridge ana will support it at the election. They aro opposed to the bridge and ashamed to admit it. We are in favor of the bridge and are proud of it. Yours truly, Uexky Schneider. COLLEGE HILL NOTES. The dedication of the German Lutheran church, westof College Hill, one of the finest churches in the state, took place Sunday last in the presence of a very large concourse of members' of the church and outsiders. Fare well services were' held at the old church at 10 o'clock a. m. After that all marched to the new church. The doors were closed, but Henry Lehnhof, as one of the trustees, handed the key to the pastor, saying: "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I deliver the key of this church to you." After more remarks by the pastor, the door was unlocked and all invited to enter. The morning services then began. In the afternoon services were held and also ia the evening preach ing in English. I will and must stale that it is hardly possible to describe the beauti ful building inside and outside. It must be seen to be appreciated. Great credit is due to Itev. Younpfor his un tiring efforts to bring forward this fine structure, dedicated to the service of God. To the members of the church lean say, well done, good and faithful servants. To build such a structure in such hard times as we have experi enced this last year seems almost an impossibility. But there was a will to do it and it was done God bless you all. The church was beautifully decorated by the ladies. To close I will say: The chui'ch is comparatively free from debt and is a credit not only to the members of the congre gation but to the whole neighbor- hood,nnd we all take pride in showing the beautiful church to our visiting friends. The visiting ministers in attendance were Prof. Vallery, of Seward; Rev. W. Rithamel, of Richardson county; Rov. Iliseinan of l'apillion. CON It AD SCHLATEK. Sent It to His Mother In Oermany. Mr. Jacob Esbensen, who is in the employ of the Chicago Lumber Co., at Des Moines, Iowa, says: "I have just sent some medicine back to ray mother in the old country, that I know from personal use to be the best medicine in the world for rheumatism, having used it in my family for several years.

From the Register. T. G. Hymer telegraphed back from Kansas City a few days ago, where he and kis wife are visiting their parents that he was the father of twin babies both boys. Foreman Lee Ryder informs us that they now have about forty-fivo men at work in the quarries and expect to be able to give steady employment to that number of men all winter. They are shipping large quantities of lime and stone to the Grand Island and Norfolk beet sugar factories, but find it impossible to keep up with their orders for lime because of the scarcity of cars.

The bank at Douglas, of which Charles Marshall is cashier, O. Horno president, had a call Saturday night from burglars, but the visitors did not secure any money. They attempted to blow open the vault door, but evi dently did not succeed as the door was still closed last night and the lock gave every indication of not having yielded. Everything shows the burg lars did not get into the safe. Ne braska City News. Registration Notice.
