The Semi-Weekly News-Herald
Exll
Plattsmouth bas done itself proud
in its conventions in nominating good,
clean men.
The people are already beginning to
estimate Dr. Cook's majority. It wi
11
take three figures to write it.
WEEriNO "Water, at the anti
license mass meetiDg,nominated three
republicans, two democrats and one
populist. No attention, whatever.was
paid to politics.
Editor Rosewateu and Mayor
Moores aro both candidates for dele-
pate to the national republican conven
tion. The former would like to be na
tional committeeman.
TnE Eoglieh eeem to be having
everything their own way in South
Africa. They are not asking for th
aid or consent of any other nation on
earth to settle tbeir difficulties.
Kelly Fox should by all means to
kept before the people. Six years as
city clerk, four years as postmaster, a
nomination for school board and a
nomination for clerk of the district
court is only a starter for one who
loves public office.
THERE is much rejoicing among
our democratic friends on account of
the withdrawal of John A. Gutsche
As aoon as they found out he wouldn't
run, they tumbled over one another to
vote for him. It was an excellent op
portunity for them to ba compliment
ary.
The republicans have nominated a
city ticket that will commend iteelf
to every voter in Plattsmouth, irre
spective of party affiliations. Neither
Mr. Rawls nor Mr. Iiaird have ever
been candidates for office before and it
was at the earnest solicitation of their
friends that they are now on the
ticket. They have been selected on
aocount of tbeir special fitness for the
positions for which they have been
nominated.
Titkke is an old saying that "you
can't eat your cake and have it," but
the case of the loan of $2o,000,000 to
Russia, just made by New Yorkers,
comes pretty near upsetting that
theory. The money, although loaned
to Russia, is to be expended in the
United States for the purchase of the
products of American labor, and thus
labor as well as capital will profit anew
by this cumulative prosperity which
loans the money abroad and yet spends
it among the working men at home.
And yet there are a few mon left who
will tell you that this is merely "ficti
tious prosperity.'7
INFORMATION AND OPINION.
In official and diplomatic circles
here a denial is authorized of pub
lished reports that there have been
conferences with a view to the dispatch
of additional warships and United
States soldiers to (Jhina,and that news
of the gravest character had been re
ceived by the United States minister to
China. There is said to be no fear en
tertained that any serious danger to
American interests is impending.
After three months of trial, the
municipal pawnshop in Cbicogo is pro
nounced a success by its advocates.
Not only does it yield a fair return
upon the investment, but it is reach
ing exactly the class of persons it was
Intended to benefit, as shown by the
fact that a large number of the loans
are for small amounts.
The British war office has been test
ing a new electrical range-finder for
the last two years. It was invented by
an Australian, who says that it will
give the range and bearine of a fixed
or moving object, and at the same time
will give information to any number of
fortress guns attached by wire to the
instrument,thus enabling 100 guns, for
instance, to concentrate their fire sim
ultaneously of a single ship.
Rev. W. E. Sitzer, W. Caton, N. Y.,
writes: "I had dyspepsia over twenty
years, and tried doctors and medicines
without benefit. I was pursuaded to
u?e Kodol Dyspepsia cure and it helped
me from the start. I believe it tobe a
panacea for all forms of indigestion."

Trachtra' Institute to bo Held at Weep
InS Water March 26 to 31.
Superintendent W. C. Smith has
prepared a feast of eood things for the
teachers' institute to be held in Weep
ing "Water March 26 to 31. There will
be a number of fine lectures by noted
echolars, together with other features,
too numerous to mention, but a few
are recorded merely to give the
reader an idea of what the week's
course will CDntain:
The address by Rev. "Wuitmer.
"Dixie," is, without doubt, one of the
ablest discussions of the race question
to which anyone ever listened. It is
entirely original, being the result of
travel in the south aDd personal in
vestigation. Rav. "Whitmer went into
the very neighborhoods where the
lynchings took place, talked with the
negroes themselves, conferred with
educated men, studying the question
with unprejudiced intelligence. It is
of especial interest to teachers, as he
studies the relation of crime and edu
cation, and the opportunity aad mis
sion of the public schoo'.
Dr. Itedway is the author of the
6uperb natural geographies. To lis
ten to him is the chance of a lifetime,
lie is one of the world's great geo
grapher?. It is a piece of rare good
luck that we succeeded in getting him.
He will deliver two addresses, after
noon and evening Tuesday. An in
formal reception will follow the ad
dress. "Mistakes and Blunders" is the sub
ject of the lecture on Wednesday
nibt, and the lecturer is Professor
S. Y. (Ji'.lan, of Milwaukee, editor of
"The Eastern Teacher." Dr. Gillan's
experience in teaching covers the
range of all the grades from the coun
try school to the university, including
the positions of high school principal,
city superintendent, professor in a
state normal, and stato institute con
ductor. His experience and success
in institute work have made him an
acknowledged expert in that line.
During the past few yoirs his services
as an institute instructo- and lecturer
have been in demand from Pennsyl
vania to Manitobp. President Tom
kins says "His work is highly satis
factory. He seems to me to be always
pedagogically sound, and is as clear
as the sun at noonday in the presenta
tion of his subj- ct." Dr. E iierson E
White says of hin: "He keeps his
feet on the schoolroom floor and deals
practically with the teachers' duties."
Dr. (iillan is an acknowledged leadur
io educational thought throughout the
northwest. This able man will cccuny
the platform two and three limes each
day.
Professor Charles Fordyco has stud
ied closely the health and phsical de
velopment of the pupils in Nebra-ka
school?. Ue is full of his subject and
will give a hor-t of valuable and prac
tical suggestions for teachers as we 1
as parents. He will give two lectures,
Thursday afternoon and evening.
Friday night comes Dr. Henson.
The fact that he has bien on the lec
ture platform for the past twenty years
and has been pastor of one of the larg
est congregations in Chicago for eigh
teen successive years, is suflicitnt
guarantee of his ability and the value
of his lecture. Forty cents admission
will be charged all except teachers, in
order to help defray the heavy ex
pense of so able a man.
Then thore is the art exhibit. Not
less than 400 pictures of the larger
size will be on exhibition, to say noth
ing of the smaller ones.
Miss Burgert and Professor Ferguson
are unusually strong in their particu
lar lines of work. The former will
have the primary instruction and the
latter will wake the echoes with his
music.
What's lour Face Worth?
Sometimes a fortune, but never, if
you have a sallow complexion, a jaun
diced look, moth patches and blotches
on the skin, all signs of liver trouble.
But Dr. King's New Life Pills give
clear skin, rosy cheeks, rich complex
ion. Only 25 cents at F. G. Fricke &
Co's drug store.
Freight cars are being run over the
street railway tracks in Cleveland,
where stone is being hauled from a
quarry eight miles distant from the
point of delivery. The cars used are
of 15,000 pounds capacity each, and the
work is done before daylight in the
morning, after the close of the passen
ger traffic.
Wm. Orr, Newark, O., says: ."We
never feel safe without One Minute
Cough cure in the house. It saved my
little boy's life when he bad the pneu
monia. We think It is the best medi
cine made." It cures coughs and all
lung diseases. Pleasant to take,harm
less and gives immediate results. F.

The republican city convention held
in White's hall Saturday evening was
well attended and altogether harmoni
ous, and it is conceded that no
stronger ticket was ever put into tho
Gild in this city than was nominated
at that convention.
Robert Iliyes, chairman of the c Mi
tral committee, called the meeting to
order and W. L. I'ickett was made
temporary chairman and George-L.
Farley temporary see-etury. On
motion the temporary organization
was made permanent. There were no
contests so the names of the delegae
banded in from the various w irds
were declared the delegates (f the
convention.
Organization having been perfected
and the call rad by the secretary, ihe
chairman announced that nominations
for mayor were in order. Judge Sul
livan, in a neat little speech, presented
the name of C. A. Rawls, calling at
tention to his special fitness, Pterling
qualities and patriotism. It. li. Wind
ham seconded the nomination of Mr.
Riwls and stated that "no man had
been mentioned with so many good
qualities;" that the election of such a
man for ma3or would give the city the
right kind of a reputation, etc.
Mr. Riwls was nominated by accla
mation, and in a few well chosen re
marks thanked the convention for the
honor and stated that he believed he
realized something of the responsibil
ity that would reet upon him if elected
to the important position.
Washington Smith presented the
uaine of W. N. Baird for city clerK,
slalinsr Mr. Iiaird had been born and
reared in Flattsmouth and was excep
tio ally well qualified to fill the posi
tion. J M. R ibertson seconded the
nomination and spoke of the experi
ence Mr. Baird had had in various
ofticee. lie thought the city would do
well to elect so honest and capable
a young man. O.i motion he wac le
clared the unanimous choice of the
convention.
There was no opposi'ion to Dr. E
W. Cook for a second term as citv
treasurer, so he was renominated by
acclamation.
James' Hunter was the convention's
choice for polico judge. Ia accepting
the nomination Mr. Hunter said if
elected he would endeavor to fill the
office for the good of all concerned.
The only trouble of the evening was
to fiud two men who were willing to
s-erve on the school board. The nom
inations were finally forced upon LT.
X. Dovey and William Ballance, not
withstanding the fact that both de
clined to accept the nomination. Mr.
Ballance sail he did not feel like
thanking the convention for the honor.
W. L. Pickett was selected chair

The following committeemen were
selected in the several wards:
First ward John Glaus.

fourth as much. Children may drink
it with great benefit. 15c and 25c per
package. Try it. Ask for Grain-O.
