Fairbury Journal. While Plattsmouth is not bothered S3 much with the mail order houses there seem to be considerable com plaint that our people do too much trading in Omaha. We do not know how well thi3 complaint is founded, but the remedy is the same. Plattsmouth merchants can buy as well as the mer chants of Omaha, their rent is cheaper, clerk hire is lower and advertising rates are lower. They can sell as low as Omaha or any other town, and if they do not get the business it is from a lack of well-directed publicity. The Omaha merchants advertise, and adver tise liberally, and if they can draw trade from Cass county it should be an object lesson worth considering. William Haywaed, secretary of the republican national committee, is ac cused by the Saturday Evening Post of being the handsomest man in Nebraska and seems inclined to resent it. 1 ut, tut, William! You have no kick com ing if the rest of us stand for it. Ffom the manner in which it opens up it is confidently predicted that the democratic legislature at Lincoln this winter will divide honors with the the aters in the amusement line. And net the least among the humorous stunts to be pulled off will be the side-stepping of a county option bill. The News-Herald is of the opinion that the tentative light agreement as promulgated at the last session of the light committee of the city council in conjunction with a committee from the "commercial club would be eminently I fair to both the city and the light com pany. Assuming the gas arcs to rep resent a half of the contract, and that the incandescents will be burned an average of five hours per night, the price per kilowat would be about six cents, probably but little in advance of the cost of production. The city could not expect cheaper light, outside of municipal production, and the lighting j company can well afford it because it j enables it to handle a volume of bus iness which it otherwise could not. ', However, we believe a power schedule should be agreed upon in advance of the signing of the contract, if the same ; has not already been done. The democratic house honored itself in the selection of C. W. Pool, of Te cumseh, as .speaker. Mr. Pool has spent a lifetime in the newspaper bus iness, whooping it up for democracy (the Bryan kind) in season and out of season, and his selection as presiding officer of the Nebraska house comes as a well-merited reward for services ren dered. It is evident that the country merchants are getting the Ix-tler of the mail order situation. They saw their trade going from them gradually and began looking around for some way to counteract it. And they have discovered the way by letting the people know that they can sell goods with just as much, if not more advantage to the custom er, than any mail order house on earth. In other words, the coun try merchants found out that the mail order house could not exist without the liberal use of printers' Blanche McCarthy (biographical data unavailable) insinuates that an as sembly of married women is often a dress parade of dowdiem, and then pro ceeds to fasten the blame on the lord of the household for having such poor taste in the selection of feminine wearing apparel. Holy Moses! Are such things possible? Not only is this editor abso lutely ignorant of most of the terms uaed in describing his wife's wardrobe, but it has been so long since he had anything to do with the buying of his own lingerie that he would need p.- illustrated catalogue to properly outtu himself. rules in the interests of the whole peo ple. But twe years hence it will be our pleasure to furuish what aid we can for the elevation to this important position of a man of our own political faith. The agreement of the local lighting company to furnish electricity at the average rate paid by Grand Island, Be atrice, Hastings, Fremont and Colum bus seems fair enough, and with the better service which the company is willing to obligate itself to give would seem to be a fairly good adjustment of the light proposition when accepted by the council. It is hardly fair to pre sume that this company or any other company could afford to make any per manent improvements or any outlay for machinery for a contract of less than five years. A dispute which promises to develop into gigantic proportions has arisen among the democrats at Lincoln rel ative to the framing of a bank guaranty law. In the payment of the depositors of a defunct bank one faction thinks it should be done "immediately," while another faction is of the opinion that "promptly" would be plenty soon enough. The fight has been carried to Fairview and it is said that Mr. Bryan favors "immediate" payment, without the aid or consent of anybody on earth. "Beau Brummel Bates of Cass," is the way Cartoonist Spencer of the World-Herald labels a work of art in which he has pictured the Colonel in all his youth and beauty, not forgetting either the cane or the hat. The Col onel certainly has a cause of action for an amount that woulc1 make the Herold-Coates verd.ct look like thirty cents. We can never forgive Spencer for handling a serious subject in so flippant a manner. The memorial to congress in the form of the resolutions passed by the Platts mouth Commercial club on the occasion of its first meeting, asking the congress to appropriate $500,000,000 for the im provement of the waterways of the United States, was the first of its kind to be read in the committee on Rivers and Harbors. The News-Herald re gards this as a good omen for the working ability of the club. j As this issue of the News-Herald ! leaves the press Governor Sheldon i takes his departure from the executive ' mansion and Governor Shallenberger j steps in.

What Others Say j I NEWS-HERALD Li m mt PRINTERS nr "senator burton" looks cood. The country at large,as well as Ohio in particular, is to be congratulated on the prospective election of Theodore E. Burton of the United States senate. Mr. Burton has been a most painstak ing and efficient member of the. lower house of congress. He has earned the advancement the state has bestowed upon him, and will no doubt further add to the prestige of past .service in the next six years. Mr. Burton was 57 years 'old December 20, and i3 in the ripe fullness of his powers. Philadel phia Record.

New York Sun. speaker pool. The new speaker of the Nebraska house has spent almost a third of a century in Nebraska, during most of which time he has been the publisher and editor of a democratic newspaper in Johnson county. His elevation to the important and dignified position to which he has been chosen is a deserved recognition of the faithful, unselfish and hardworking cuuntry editors who in season and out of season have born the democratic banner and supported democratic candidates and policies. Mr. Pool's standing at home is at tested by the fact that he, a demo crat, was elected from one of the strong republican counties in the state, run ning several hundred votes ahead of his" ticket, just as he did two years ago when he was defeated by a very slight margin. His democracy is unalloyed. It would have been impossible to find a speaker more firmly wedded to every plank of the democratic platform than is ' Charley" Pool of Tecumseh. The speakership in Nebraska has notoriously proved the graveyard of political hopes. Many an aspiring and capable man has attained that post of honor, never again to be heard of in politics. The reason has been that the duties of the office are responsible and exacting as the temptations and chances to err are numerous and allur ing "Uncle Dan" Nettleton broke the hoodoo two years since. He went out of office stronger and more re spected than when he entered it. He was honest, sincere, courteous and fair to the minority, and adamant in his stand for the pledges his party had made. That Speaker Pool will follow in his footsteps, improving, if possible, on his record, will be the wish and be lief of his friends all over Nebraska. World-Herald.

My mother was troubled for a good many years with a skin irritation on one of her feet. Despite the fact that she tried remedies of various kinds no relief was obtained until she used Doan's Oint ment which by chance she learned about and procured at Gering & Co.'s drug store. This preparation not only ban ished the trouble at the time but ef fected a permanent and absolute cure. I also used. Doan's Ointment for a terrible itching on my right hand and wrist.
