Matthew must not neglect those 'jnces of his this early in tho fight. THE First National Hank of this ;.ity ia one of the strongest financial , nstltutiocs in the state outride of 'pmaha. Its latest statement shows deposits reaching nearly $200,000. with 'bash on hand of over $70,000. Since ilho Dovoys secured a controlling jn itorest tho First National has secured Btanding that is very creditable to ftho city. I THE government court of Inquiry "looking into tho causes of the Maine explosion is evidently having a good time and leisurely" prosecutes its in fvestigations as if the anxiety of the whole country about the matter wore not to be considered. The board had better get a move on itso'.f and give us the facts very quickly or the pres sure at Washington may force th president to dismiss the court and get something besides fossils to look into the mattor. s A LONDON newspaper comforts the ; Spaniards with the statement that if i war is declared by this government the south will secede again and the s Spanish dons will have an easy 7ic tory. This is too ridiculous to think about, for nowhere is the war spirit 60 rampant and the feeling against Spain so intense as in the south. It would be like u southern ofiicer said the other day, if the Spanish army ever landed in that part of the country the polico would run the sol diers all in for disturbing tho peace THE Journal's side contributor has begun his usual political slobber about Boss Polk and tho deep laid plots which are charged up to him. The "siobber editor" is very fearful that Judge Newell might be nominated for mayor, as he would not bo a nickel in the-slot candidate, and there would be I no rake off. Such a man would not 1 suit that coterie at all. If Mr. Newell cares to accept the republican nomi nation, he will be elected against any candidate the democrats can name As to senatorial candidates we know y . , j , . , uuuujui: auu i,ut7 iuro. Secretary of State porteu is quoted as having said " the crooked est republican in the state would be i an improvement on Edmisten, who I was without doubt, the most corrupt man in tho populist party." ThiDgs I must bo frottinrr nrettv warm about j 1 the state house when a prominent pop official can thus call down a corrupt member of his own fang who has the nerve to actually be a candidate for governor. The time for another change at the capital, is near at hand when the Edmistens, Dahlmans and Herdmans will have to go. Republi cans only have to name a clean state ticket and it will win from top to bot tom. The people have surfeited on bogus reform and long for a little old time honesty that is not of the dress parade variety. From Bradstreet's report we glean the following which shows what Mo Kinlev times mean, and ought to make the calamity wailer swallow the lump in his throat and go to work. The report eavs: "Failures in Feb ruary have been smaller than in any- other month, except three of the pre vious five months, with remarkable decrease in the failures for $100,000 and over, though in number and amount the smaller failures show less change than might have been ex pected, indicating that in good times or bad a large proportion is due to causes apart from the general condi tion of business. The ratio of de falted liabilities to payments through the clearing houses is but $1.71 per $1,000, a lower rate than has appeared in the first quarter of any year except 1SS0 and 1881, of the past twenty three years. The best evidence of general improvement is the fact that payments through clearing bouses for the past week have been 28 per cent larger than in 1S92, and outside of Now York, with its speculative in terests, 17.6 per cent. Compared with last year the gain has been 56.2 per cent for the week and 49.8 per cent for February." INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. John McCarty, the man who ex pects to start for the Klondike with J. C. Petersen and E. A. Oliver of this city, is a resident of Wyoming, in Otoe county, and last night he had the misfortune to lose his barn by fire, losing about 800 bushels of grain, all his farming-implements and harness "The reindeer and attendants for the government relief expedition to Alaska are en route over the country from Jersey City to Seattle in a spe cial train," said Willard M. Hoyt of Milwaukee, lnct night at the Millard, 'which consists of throe tourist sleep ing car, two cooking and eating earn, ten box cars loaded with provisions for tho deer, and twenty-six stock c.irB. The train is moving in two sec tions. There aro in tho party 113 persons, including tho government odicors in charge, tho guides for tho several expeditions into tho Yukon country, and the Norwegian, Finn and Lapland attendants and their families. Five hundred arid twenty-nine rein deer, in excellent condition, fill tho stock cars. Tho train is being run on a special schedule and it will in all probability reach Seattle Monday morning. Thus far tho reindeer seem to bo good railroad travelers, as nothing has occurred to causo untie" cer-sary stops " IJeo. m The Nebraska editors who .'ire now in tho south on an excursion t ur like that section so much and so well that they concluded to prolong their visit and extend their visit to Florida, which state they will orobably buy and maintain for a game preserve. Fremont Tribune. Pearl Mapes was at Ilavelock Wednesday morning and visited the B. & M. shops at that placo in quest of a job. Ho was there long enough to see one man get his lip cut open, and another man got a leg broken by the machinery, and ho soon came to tho conclusion that ho did not want a job there. Elmwood Leader.

Mike Matizy, it is lumored, will make a hot fight as democratic nomi nee for the council against Colonel Helps, who, it seems, is likely to be the republican nominee. The ward is democratic, but Helps knows no such word as fail, and the way he will chase Mauzy over the hills will be something worth seeing. The concensus of republican opinion indicates the nomination of Dr. Cook for treasurer and B. C. Kerr for city clerk bv acclamation. It is quietly rumored on inside cir cles that Frank J. Morgan, the smoothest Roman of them all," is a dark horse candidate for mayor, and that when the time comes he is ex pected to carry away the nomination without an effort. Gutsche and Cum mins can afford to keep an eye on Morgan. Foley's Honey and Tar.

I would not feel easy if I knew there was none of this valuable Remedy in the house. I have given it a fair test and CDnsider it o ie of the very best remedies for croup that I have ever found. One dose has always been sufficient, although I use it freely. Any cold my children contract yields very readily to this medicine. I can conscientiously recommend it for croup and colds in children.

A Wild Home on n Stain peile New Turn Wrrin I iiHiructor jot III Kye ISUeUed DUtrlet Court A CllHHK' l JtUMlllt'HH, A horce belonging to F. R. Guth- mann, hitched to a post in the lo back of the Perkins house, by pulling at his hitch Ftrap, broke off the post and ran about the yard considerably ex cited, the post striking the animal's heels at every jump. In his fright ho made a lunge at tho high board fence on Third street, broke down about ten feet of tho fci.ee and made a circuit of several blocks, tho post still bumping bis heels as ho ran. At the Hotel Plattsmouth it ran upon tho walk and for a moment it was feared j he would plunge through one of the large plate windows. However, he stoppod suddenly.turned about, looked at the post and evidently realizing what a little thing he had become frightened at, allowed himself to be captured and taken to the stable. Some of the spectators climbed a telegraph pole when the horse reached the side walk, but no serious damage was done. After the Premium. The Plattsmouth Turnverein is after the first prize at the Trans-Misti-sippi Turnfest, which occurs at Omaha dur ing tho coming exposition. Since the boys walked off with the laurels at the National Turnfest last season they feel like maintaining their standing in the ranks of the Turners and have secured the services of Prof. Otto Ernst of St. Louis, who will arrive here Sunday and proceed at once to organ ize classes in all branches of gymnast ics and manual drill. He will giveles 6ons everv evonine, after his class is organized, for men and boys, and will arrange afternoon classes for ladies and children. Prof. Ernst is a turn- master of national reputation, and with his splendid tutelage, together with the excellent timber he will have to work upon among the young men of Plattsmouth the society has great con fidence in its ability to hold first place in the coming contest. A 15ml Eye. Judge Archer has a very black eye today and the boys are doing a con siderable amount of iljoshing" with his honor. Someone, with little re gard for the truth, tried to start the story that a "hobo" went in to clean out the court and an accident followed which put judge's eye in mourning. Constable Donson jokingly insinuated the judge did not come by that eye honestly, but his honor was impervi ous to any such insinuations. The ac cident occurred in the Christian church Sunday morning, and it is in deed fortunate that Mr. Archer did not suffer the loss of his eve. He was standing near tho rostrum when some one called to hira. Mr. Archer started to go to the gentleman who addressed him and not noticing where he stepped caught his foot ou the little step be fore the pulpit and fell, striking his head on the sharp corner of a stand which stood near by. He received the blow on the left side of tho bridge of the nose, dangerously near the pupil of the eye. Blood flowed freely and this morning the judge has a very black and a very sore optic. Again Reversed. The supreme court again showed its high regard for Judge Chapman able (?) opinion by reversing him in the following c;i&e Saturday. The judges of the supreme court give the Cass county legal luminary a cruel thrust, in the opinion rendered, by saying they had examined the evidence and found it insufficient to sustain the findings of the lower court. The syi labus reads as follows: Benedict vs. Citizens' bank. Error from Cass county. Reversed. Com missioner Ryan. The evidence in this case examined and found not sufficient to sustain the findings of the district court. Death of An Aged Lady. Mrs. Delia J. Stanley died this morningr at the home of her son on west .Locust street, aged eighty-six years, ner death resulting' Irom old age. The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon from the residence of her son, at 2 o'clock, under the direction of the G. A.

R. or Sons of Veterans, the old boys in blue left it their duty to pay the last tribute to the widow and mother of comrades who had rendered valiant ervice to their country. Stole Hay.

Farmers all know that new varie ties of seeds for planting are often re quired to replace those that have run low in quality. Especially is this true of potatoes, which yield well for a few years and then fail. Messrs. Gunson, Brown & Co., the great seed propaga tors, of Rochester, ,N. Y., are prepared to furnish on order the very best vari- ties of new seeds of all kinds for the farm. Apply for samples and descrip tion to C. W. Sherman, Ag Iturnetl By Gasoline. S iturday evening a Mrs. Robinson, who lives in the south part of the city, was blacking the kitchen stove. She used gasoline to moisten the blacking and this incident came near costing her her lifeand that of her three-year- old son. Tho stove was closed up tight, and Mrs. Robinson supposed there was no fire in it. In this she was sadly mistaken, however. The gasoline ignited, setting the lady's clothing on fire and also that of her little boy, who was standing by her side. Wita rare presence of mind she extinguished tho flames, not, how ever, until tne cnna was norrioiy burned about the face, neck and hands. The hair was nearly all burned from the little head and a good portion of the clothing burned rom its body. The mother was not badly burned. Dr. Schildknecht wa9 called and rendered his nest services to re'ieve the child's sufferings, and at ..this writing the little fellow is doing nicely. He will recover in due time, hough he may be marred for life. The prompt and thoughtlul action saved two precious lives, and possibly the household, which wou'd have doubtless bjen consumed.
