JOHN A1IL PASSES AWAY Had Been III With Ilhcumatlsm For One Week. hk Wfll t-lo iHriniT arid Kcjoy l the Confidence of a Large Circle of Friend f uneral to Take Place San day at 2 P. M, The many friends and old time ac quaintances of John Ahl were shocked today to learn that he died at an early hour this morning at his borne two miles east of Louisville. He was known to have bee a ailing recently, but his friends did not know his illness had become of an alarming nature. He was taken down last Monday and had grown gradually worse until this morning when death ended his suffer ing. The cause of his death was rheumatism of tho heart. Deceased has been a resident of this county for many years and was known as a straigntforward citizen who had many friends.

He was sixty-five years of age and lie sides a wifo leaves seven children, all grown, to mourn his demise. 'The funeral will be held from his late resideuce Sunday at 2 o'clock and interment will be made in the Wal- radt cemetery. I'KKSONAL A!

Editor News: The party who signs himself "P.. x, .. txr-i u vri- i j.(iAjttjcr, v aua;u, imu., lias bleu fit to reply to my article in your paper of last week in answer to his. He says I am a republican ward heeler and cannot do anything else but defend re publican practices. I did not know I was defending republican practices when 1 spoke a word in justice to Judie Ramsey. I believe a person wiiting'for a newspaper should not get personal unless he can provo all his statements. As "Taxpayer" has si;eu lit to slur me about my taxes and my business, I will ju t toll a few things that may interest him. Now. lux payer" does not reside at Wa- barb no closer than Weeping Water, ami I doubt if ho ever paid a dollar taxes in bis life, and if ho will look at the records he will find 1 paid at one time $li0 in taxes. He says I am a re publican ward beelo". Now, Mr. Edi tor, which is worse to be what be claims i am or bo wh it be i? hen he was selected chairman of lhi re- lorui lorces convention, ami wune me convention was taking a recess to wait fur tlie Ol.oe county delegation, he got so di uiik bo could not net. No, Mr. Editor, I presided as chairman of a re puiiiican county convention ami my menus were not called on to upotogi.e for me getting drunk, and dm not have to get some one else to fill my place. He eays tho present judge has to look to republicans for his defense. That is not true, but I will not keep still when I see "Taxpayer" serving as a cat's paw for a Plattsmouth lawyer to slur our proc-ont judge. Such demo crats and populists as George To wle, Ed Dorr, Jim Clark, William Burk, Jolin Newman, Louis Foltz, in fact the whole reform forces out here, con demn the attacks made by "Taxpayer" on our judge. Why docu ho not publish them in this county? Why go to Saunders county to get his articles printec, unless it is because they are too dirty for reputable papers to print. He says for me to bunt my hole, get a govern ment license and pay 1x13' taxes. Yes, Mc. Editor, I pay my taxes, I had a government licenso and sold refresh- mants, ana laxpayer nas stooa up to my bar rnanjT a time and bathed himself in my refreshments, as he sees fit to call it, and if he would call around and pay the balance he owes I would appreciate it. The editor of the Saunders county paper claims to be a populist, but a re publican oould not say meaner things about populists than he says about Governor Poynter and the state flsh commission. In fact it is hard for him to find a pop or a democrat pure enough for him to support. Henry Hempei and J. P. Rouse are the only ones pure enougn to get nis nearly support, and they can tell how much it cost them. I never had a friend go ray security and then left him to pay the note of S1,0C0. It is true he has the pop instincts of repudiation. Now, in conclusion, I want to refer again to that B. & M. tax case. When Taxpayer" was attacking the court Mrs. S I). visitor today. Mrs. 11. N.

Judge Chupman avoided tho responsibility of deciding the caso after he had tried it and turned it over to Judge Ramsey for a decision, and it seems that the officers representing the taxpayers of the county were so well satisfied with the judge's decis ion that they did not appeal it. Now, Mr. "Taxpayer," the next timo you writo an article give the facts and maybe you can find a home paper that will print your article. Mike Cave v. Krallicn Committee Meeting.

Clippings From County Kxi bungei Dished Up for "Newn" Readers. From the Weeping Water Republican. T. Frank Wiles, one of the promi nently mentioned candidatesfor county judge, was an agreeable caller at this otlioe Friday. Frank is a good fellow his worst feature being that he parts his name in tile middle. Mr. Matthews completed his con tract on the mill building Monday, and it is now ready for the machinery, which is arriving. The building is a very strongly built structure of wood and stone with an Iron roof. It is four stories high including the stone base ment. The engine room is to be of brick and will be built as Boon as the boiler is in place. Samuel Good ale and Misa Blanche Elliott of Green wood, were married on Wednesday of last week at Lincoln. They came to Weeping Water and visited with the groom's sisters until Monday when they returned to Green wood where they are now at home to their friends. We know Sam to be a fine young man and worthy of the handsome and attsKctive young lady who has become hia wife. Last Sunday while sitting on his lawn reading a newspaper, Dick Mc Nurlin felt something alight on the back of his hand and bite or sting him. Thinking ii a fly he brushed it off without looking at the insect, but al most instantly the back of his hand be gan to itch, and in about an hour it be gan to swell and give him consider able pain, and on Monday the arm was swollen to the elbow and Dick said his hand felt as if the skin would burst if he should try to close it. It was better Tuesday morning though badly swol len, but Dick went to work on the job of lowering the floor of the old Haller building. He says the sting felt about like the bite of a horse fly. It has been suggested that the resi dent members of the late First and Second Nebraska regiments would be the proper persons to take the lead in getting up a reception for Lee Stoner on his return. There is no time to be lost and we hope the boys will look favorably upon the suggestion and get things in motion shortly and then call upon the people, who will be only too glad to aid, for any assistance that may bo needed. Another thought right here and that is that Eugene Pierce, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Pierce of Victoria is a member of the First, and he should by all means, as a resident of the vicinity, be counted in and share the honors as guest of the town with Lee Stoner.
