REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET, su3to compile agricultural statistics
that will be of benefit in the future and
at the same time give the true condi
tions. Farmers need not fear that the
information they give to the census
enumerators will be used in any way
to their detriment as the census act
provides that the information shall be
used only for the statistical purposes
for which it is supplied. The law says:
"No publication shall be maJe by the
census office whereby the data furnished
by any particular establishment ran be
identified, nor shall the director of the
census permit any other than the sworn
employes of the census office to ex
amine the individual records."

Secret service men are said to have

In a speech of welcome before a ses
sion of the delegates to the United
Brethren conference at Nehawka last
week, ex-Governor Sheldon said: "I
am glad I can welcome you to a dry
town. I stand for temperance and my
experience in politics has made a pro
hibitionist of me. The temperance
people of Nebraska who voted against
George Sheldon last fall because they
thought that some other fellow's state
ment on the eve of election day was
more reliable than Sheldon's repeated
declarations in favor of temperence and
his every day life to back it up, Bhould
feel just about in the same frame of
mind as the republicans who voted for
a democratic candidate for office just
out of friendship. They are both in
the same box and should be congenial
companions.
When Mayor Dahlman accompanied
by 200 of his Omaha friends left Platts
mouth last Saturday night after a four
hours' visit at the carnival, the mayor
expressed himself as having "Had the
time of my life." When Jim has the
time of his life you can rest assured
that it is a good one, and Plattsmouth
people are pleased to know that he felt
good all the time he was here.
Plattsmouth sympathizes very deeply
with Lincoln and the tatefair manage
ment in the wet conditions they are
having up there this week. The Platts
mouth Merchants Carnival was not the
success it should have been on account
of the rain that fell nearly every day
of the exhibition. The state fair man
agement were to a great expense this
year in getting out a superior line of
attractions and it will mean a great
loss to them if the wet weather con-:
tinues.
The Lincoln News published a letter
from B. B. Lane taken from the Des
Moines Register and Leader last Mon
day in which he bewails the conditions
now existing and says: "The business
of the country is prosperous. The towns
and cities are growing and becoming
wealthy, but not the farmers." We
don't know where Mr. Lane could have
received his information from, but it
certainly shows that he is not up to date
and sadly ignorant of conditions. Never
in the history of the country have the
farmers received such high prices for
their products as at the present time
and during the past few years. Never
have their farms represented so much
value as at the present time. One
thing is sure and that is that the towns
and cities will not be prosperous unless
the farming community around them
is prosperous. If as Mr. Lane says
"the towns and cities are prospering
and growing wealthy," it stands to
reason that the communities from
which they draw their trade are also
prospering. When the Lincoln Even
ing News publishes such balderdash it
knows it is not giving the facts in the
case.
The Omaha World Herald came out
in a long double column editorial last
Wednesday and rejoiced greatly because
"five leading newspapermen and all
republicans," were demanding that
Senator Burkett should enter a joint
debate with Charles O. Wheeden on
the tariff question. Of course the
World-Herald would delight to see two
prominent republicans lock horns on any
issue whereby the democratic party
might possibly gain thereby. We do
not see why Senator Burkett should be
compelled to enter a joint debate with
C. 0. Wheeden at the bequest of "five
prominent newspapermen and all re
publicans." Of course Wheeden would
like to go to Washington in most any
old kind of a capacity, either senatorial
or congressional and a discussion might
possibly help him out in his aspirations.
But had the World-Herald printed the
names of these "five leading news
papermen and all republicans," the
public might have seen the fishyness of
the whole thing. They are all news
papermen an right, une however is
not in the newspaper business at the
present time, one is the editor of a
trade journal, another is editor of a
paper that is forninst Burkett, another
is a democrat, editing a paper which is
now and always has been criticizing the
republican party, and the other is a
native born democrat holding the posi
tion as reporter on another so-called
republican paper of the "near" variety
If Seator Burkett should enter a debate
at the request of such a committee of
representative republicans(?) he would
be indeed very much foolish. There
would be nothing to gain and ' it. would
only be giving a chance for some one
to get a little advertising on the Sen
ator's reputation. As is always the case
this committee is composed of some
good men of standing in the party. The
others are very much punkerino.

pains in the small of my back often ex

medicines, I Was not relieved. About

hearty endorsement. " (Statement

Shoots at Watchman.
M. W. Smith, the watchman at the
Burlington bridge crossing the Mis
souri, had an experience last evening
which though lively and exciting he
will not care to have repeated. About
seven o'clock he noticed a man cross
ing the bridge from the Iowa side. He
met him and explained that the struc
ture had not been designed for foot
passengers and directed him to retrace
his steps and try the ferry. The man
turned and started back and then
wheeling quickly opened fire upon Mr.
Smith with an automatic revolver. Mr.
Smith was not armed, but by tempor
izing and doing a little "bluffing" he
succeeded in preventing a re-opening
of hostilities.

The census director is going to make

About the most interesting thing that
has happened in the political arena dur
ing the past week is the fact that a
member of the republican state com
mittee has organized himself into a
press bureau for the purpose of furnish
ing the papers of the state with non
partisan editorials. We always sup
posed it was the duty of a member of
any committee, be it republican, demo
cratic, populist or prohibitionist, to use
his efforts to furnish those things
which would help win for his party and
not furnish material which would have
a tendency to help the other fellows.
Of course if the democratic party has
done anything it should deserve credit
for, they are entitled to it, and far be
it from us to take from them any de
served credit, for as it is seldom they
do anything creditable they ought to
be entitled to the glory. However we
believe that they have enough patriots
who will fall over themselves in their
efforts to get all that is coming to them
how to proceed to the city, he got busy
with the telephone and upon his arrival
in the yards he was met by the sheriff
who locked him us for investigation.
At an examination this morning the
man gave his name as Nilssen and
stated that he was traveling from New
York to San Diego, Calif., having a
ticket to support his statement. He
was unable to speak the English lan
guage and the services of Mr. L. G.
Larson were secured as interpreter. It
seems that he became dissatisfied with
the treatment of train officials and con
cluded to walk, leaving the train at Pa
cific Junction. He stated that as he
had a ticket he had a perfect right to
walk across the company's bridge, and
he simnlv shot at the watchman to
frighten him away, thinking he was a
tramp attempting to hold him up. Upon
hearing his explanation the officials de
cided not to prefer any charges against
him, and he was allowed to depart.
ing the seventh milestone in his life,
and in commemoration of the event
he entertained his parents and other
relatives at a 6 o'clock dinner last
evening. A notable feature of the
event was the presence of four genera
tions at the function in the persons of
the young man himself, his mother,
grandmother and great grandmother,
Mrs. Reese.
The difference of opinion on this
mundane sphere is well illustrated in
Wescott's button guessing contest. A
quart jar partly filled with Dutchess
trouser buttons has been estimated to
contain all the way from 350 to 10,000.
The count will be made tomorrow anil
somebody will receive a free pair of
these famous trousers.

$1.50.
25 Cents. 10 Cents.
For the purpose of increasing the circulation of the News
Herald and also of reaching every home in Cass county,
preparatory to making a better paper, we make the following
olfer to new subscribers.
The News-Herald from now till after Election 10c
-OR-
The News-Herald from now till January 1, 1910 25c
-OR-
Any New Subscriber paying for one year in advance at the
regular subscription price of $1.50 can have the News-Herald
sent free till January, 1910.
This barely pays for the paper it is printed on and no re
publican in Cass county can afford to be without his party paper
at this price. In fact a democrat will gain a whole lot of useful
knowledge he would not otherwise obtain by taking advantage
of this offer.
We have a few of those nice Clocks left which we will give
to any new subscriber who pays one year's subscription in ad
vance and 50 cents extra, as long as they last.
In addition to every year's subscription in advance we will
give one of those "Don't Break Your Back" Dust Pans, a few
of which we have left.
Then we have a lot of Silver Spoons which are warranted
to be just as good as silver anyway, and will give half a dozen
of these as long as they last to any subscriber who pays a year
in advance with 15 cents extra.
Then there are a few dozen scissors left which we want to
get out of the way and will give a pair of these to any subscri
ber who pays one year in advance and 10 cents extra.
This offer does not any where near cover the cost of this
stuff at the wholesale price, but they are here in the office and
we want to get them out of the way, and we propose to give
new subscribers the benefit.
