John I. Usiirii, at one time city

in the ranks of other aspirants, and
democratic candidates have begun to
diminish in numbers.

The Louisville (Ky.) Evening Post
(dem.) objects to Mr. Bryan's utter
ances concerning the anti-Goebel
movement among the Kentucky dem
ocrats,and saj-s: "Has not Mr. Bryan,
in attempting to instruct on issues
about which he confesses he is not in
formed, acted unwisely and indiscreet
ly, and precipitately. IP&best friends
in Kentucky feel that he has so acted,
and instead oi endorsing Mr. Goebel
they intend to apply to the situation
reasoning frem Mr. Bryan's Chicngo
speech, and to put a new ticket in the
field, and to follow it fearlessly t de
feat or to a triumphant victory."
These rum ors of attempts to get up
anti-American combinations among
the continental European nations fur
nish a fine tribute to the growing in
fluence of the United States in the
world's affairs, says the Globe-Democrat.
. But there will be no combina
tions. There is no especial incentive
for an3r nation to take a position hos
tile to this country. There is no de
sire in the United States to interfere
in the slightest degree in European
affairs. American influence in Asi
atic politics will nccessari- bo much
greater than it ever has baen up to
this time, but it is not likely to ha ex
erted in a way to cause war. The
Philippines will make this country an
Asiatie as well as an American power,
but the United States' policy on the
other side of the Pacific, as on this
side, will make for peace.
WHAT?
The JDonservative has again and
again asked: What has Bryan accom
plished, what has Senator Allen
brought about, what did Kem evolve,
when did Maxwell originate, where
did McKeighan demonstrate and what
usefulness has Holcomb or D. Clem
Deaver established for the common
wealth cf Nebraska?
Have its citizens been made prosper
ous by oratory? Have politicians,
seeking offices not for honor, "but for
tho money" in them, been more use
ful than plows and plowmen? Is it not
a truth a large robust truth that
not one dollar of capital engaged in
manufacture, commerce or agriculture
in Nebraska was ever allured hither,
induced to invest here, by the disaster
discourses of populism?
"When did Allen bring in capital by
voice, deed or effort of his own or his
kinsfolk for the material development
of Nebraska? Let the people, whose
votes fusloni8ta seek, know when, where
and how the doctrines of calamity, de
preciation of land values and land
products, which have been bowled for
eight years through Nebraska have
benefitted this state? What good has
come to Nebraska by means of Bryan
archy, Allen and Kem? What? J.

ABOUT THE STKKET FAIK.
The Tribune wants to join with The News
and help awaken the old town to the realization
that it is high time for the citizens to be doing
something. The project of holding a street fair
is the most sensible thing we know of at the
present time, and it should by all means be
pushed to a successful termination. The old
idea of holding a county fair is a thing of the
past, and it is not likely that any attempt what
ever will be made by the agricultural society in
that line this year. Street fairs are a novelty
and if I'lattsmouth should get one up it would at
tract a crowd of visitors to the city the like of
which has not been here iu many years. Platts
mouth Tribune.
Thre are a number of people be
coming interested in the project of
holding a street fair in this city, and
the only thing that is lacking is some
one who has influence to start it go
ing. There is no qut stion ut that it
would be a fine thing for the business
men and the citizens at largo. People
who have attended fairs of this nature
are loud in their praise of them. It
gives each business man an equal
show, as the crowds are kept on the
streets constantly. If the business
meu want to prevent people from go
ing to Omaha it is necessary to pro
vide some sort of amusement occasion
ally, and this is the best thing that
could be brought uo.
The Lincoln Journal has joined
with the World-Herald in an effort to
raise $J0,000 for the purpose of bring
ing the members of the First Ne
braska regiment home in a body. It
is a worthy move and Plattsmouth
should and would contribute if some
one would circulate a subscription pa
per. Something over $4,000 has now
been raioed.

The following item which appeared
in the Weeping Water Advocate in
dicates that the people of that thriv
ing town are in favor of preserving
the forests: "Opposite the Gibbon
house is a vacant lot and on that lot
there stands many weeds that look
down on the surrounding buildings
in defiance, but then no one seems to
own the lot and of course the weeds
have full possession. The city might
cutout the underbrush and convert
the wilderness into a shady park."
The News is trying to induce the
citizens of Plattsmouth to hold a
street fair this fall. The project
should meet with encouragement.

Burlington has gHthered information
which lend it to believe that this

double that of any former average
year. Whllo tho reports from all

Sure leal Triumph In Tomloii Craft lti

Two notable surgical operations -the
first successful ones of their kinc"
in a New York hospital were per
formed at the Hospital for Cripples al
Forty-Second street- and Ixxlngton
avenue. By one a Virginia girl, 14
years old, who has been paralyzed for
eleven years, will regain the use of hei
limbs through tendon grafting. In the
other a patient's thigh bone, dislocate''
at birth, was taken from Its origlna'
socket and placed fully two Inches tc
one side in a socket or acetabullurx
made for the purpose. Dr. Royal Whit
man, chief of clinic at the hospital
operated. Mattle Mayhew, the para
lytic, lost the use of both feet frorr
infantile paralysis In her third year
Dr. Whitman first ascertained what
tendons were degenerate and ther
made an incision in the thigh and en
grafted small parts of healthy tendom
where the degenerate parts had been
cut away. When the operation w;:
finished the feet were placed In platei
casts. The doctors say the child wil'
have the full use of her limbs in two
months. The operation Is of French
origin, and yet even In France sur
geons have not yet attempted to per
form the operation on any but very
young children. The other operatlor
was what Is called the Lorenz opera
tion, from Dr. Lorenz, a Frenchman.
Rosa Denlzettl, 4 years old, of Italian
parentage, was the patient. An Inci
sion was made in her hip and the ball
and socket Joint laid bare. The thigh
bone was removed from its socket and
another socket was cut In the pelvis
bone two Inches from the one which
had caused the dislocation. Then the
thigh bone was placed in the new
socket, the incision was sewed up and
the hip placed In a plaster cast. In
two months the patient will be able to
walk. New York World.

Peanuts have a faculty of absorbing

Foul-Smelling
Catarrh.
Catarrh is one of tho most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but ono way to euro it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach th
disease; and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg",
Ky., had Catarrh for yenrs. lie writes:
"I could st- no improve mnt whatever.

the remedy, the disease was forced out of my

I advise nil who have this dreadful disease to
abandon their local treatment, which hasnever

dy that can reach the disease and cure it."
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to Kufl'er. Swift's
Specific is a real blood remedy, and
cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases,
which other remedies have no ('fleet
whatever upon. It promptly reaches;
Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the
most aggravated ca.ses.

blood remedy guaranteed to contain no
