Sheriff Quinton Has Statement Denies the Allegations Made by the Journal and Defies the Allegator. not During the campaign just closing charges have been made against me as Sheriff of Cass county. I have re frained from making any public state ment, believing that the friends who had confidence enough in me to vote for me two years ago, still had confi dence enough in me to believe that I am innocent of the charges made against me. In explanation of the charge that I, grow." have not made my reports regularly, I would say that there had been times when I have been busy out of the city on official business and have missed making a report in a very few in stances. Regarding the charge that I have wrongfully withheld the fees of my office, I will say that that charge is un true. When I shall make my report for the current year as the " law pro vides at the end of my term, I expect to turn over to the Treasurer of Cass county all fees collected by me which belong to the county. If the Board of County Commission ers, or any responsible tax payer is not satisfied with that report or the amount of fees accounted for, I shall ask the Board to employ at once, at my expense, an expert accountant who - shall examine all books and records pertaining to my office, and if upon his report it is found that there is any thing due the county by me, I stand ready and able to turn that amount into the treasury of the county. The assertion that has been made that Mr. Manspeaker, my deputy, has not given a bond, I will simply say that following the advice of the county attorney at tht time of Mr. Man speaker's appointment, he gave a bond and the same is still in force. Thanking my friends for their con fidence in me during the past, and as suring them that confidence has been misplaced, I remain as ever, Respectfully, Carroll D. Quinton. A FLAT FAILURE. After three weeks of hard and labor ous work on the part of James II. Donnelly, an expert accountant hired by the democratic county committee to find things, and after loud and labor ous wind jamming on the part of the Journal the expert accountant has at last found that Sheriff Quintin hasjust exaotly $540.58 which he has not turn ed over to the county. Inasmuch as the law does not require him to turn over anything until the end of the year it looks as if the job had not work ed out.

The resolutions passed by the thirty sixth annual convention supplimenting its declaration of principles are com prehensive and strengthen the position of the organization in many respect3. Especial stress is laid upon the neces bity of total abstinance, upon purity, the enfranchisement of women, of peace and of educatin and legislation to the end of eventually abolishing the liquor traffic. One of the planks of the platform reads: "We urge the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union in every state, where the liquor traffic is legalized, to inaugurate a vigorous campaign for state prohibition and by wise agitation educate public sentiment up to the point of demanding an amendment to the federal constitution, forever prohi biting the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors." A large number of Plattsmouth peo pie are attending the convention. About 200 delegates were elected from the state unions to attend the world's Woman's Christian Temper ence union convention to be held in Glasgow in June, 1910. Mrs. Frances B.

A Golden Anniversary. Last Sunday, October the 21th, John M. Lois and his good wife Katherina Leis celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their hospitable home in llurlock, Nebraska. They were ably assisted in this celebration by a large gathering of neighbors and friends, and some of their childen from a distance also were present. They were remembered with a handsomely en graved souvenir spoon and pieces of gold coin in honor of the event. A most bountiful repast waa served to the assembled company and they will long line in the memory of all present Mr. Leis was born in Prussia. Ger many on the second day of June 1889, while Mrs. Leis was born in Baden, Germany in 1839. Mr. Leis emmigrat ed to America in 1851 and first settled in New York city; from there he gradually worked his way westward stopping at intervals in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana until he reached Il linois where he remained for some time, and here it was that he first met and finally married Mrs. William Stein, who was then a young widow with an infant daughter; this daughter later on became Mrs. Steve Mams and she with her family are at present resi dents of Union, Oregon. Mr. Leis learned the trade and for many years followed the occupation of stone mason and many are the stories be can tell of having worked for days, weeks and even months at a time without receiv ing a single penny for pay; the usual mode of settlement was a side of bacoii; a sack of flour or perhaps a few buBhel of potatoes: but they lived hap pily and content through those years and raised u family of six boys, beside the daughter. These boys are all al ive today, although they are scattered over the country somewhat: John S. Leis being engaged as a miller and farmer near Jackson, Nebraska with his brother Steve. Charles B. Leis lives on his own fine farm near Demet South Dakota; Cnlvin J. Leis is in the builder and constructing business, with his residence in Murlork! whiln. iht . - x-y twins George and Henry are as far apart as they could well be and still be residents of the United States, George being in the real estate business at Algona, a suburb of Seattle, Washing- 1 . ...l.M If a . ion; wnue iienry is doing dutv as commissary on the battleship Connect icut stationed in New York harber. Mr. Leis and family came further west to Cass county on the 22nd day of rebniMy, 1876, the centennial voar and settled on a fine quarter section of land four miles south-west of the pres ent town of Murdock; their nearest railroad station at that time was South Bend; prices in those days were not what they are now, for many a time did they haul a load of corn to market and return with a pair of boots in ex change; those were surely trying times; however, they were of the good old pioneer stock and would not turn back; they had faith in the country and even the eraas-hoppers failed to drive them bat k east. The result of their earlv labors is that they live in quietude and peace and have for years past had but little to do except to see the sun rise and set; to eat their three squre meals a day and rest in contentment at night; knowing that i the morrow need cause them no worrv. Thev nre well beloved by their neighbors who all join in wishing them many vears of happiness in their midst. Secretary Wescott informs the News that his list of applications for work at the new shirt factory is being rapid ly swelled.

Sherman Tullis of Omaha husked 120 bushels of corn Wednesday for B. W. Livingston in ten hours, which is cer tainly going some. Who can do better? The Ninth Annual Interdenomina tional Sunday School Convention, for Cass county, held at Elmwood Tuesday and Wednesday was a decided success any way you may take it. There were a hundred or more delegates present eighteen of the number from Platts mouth. From start to finish the interest was enthusiastically in tense and matters of great importance were discussed. In fact, thev were not only discussed, but ringing resolutions were adopted which will have a decided and most material bearing upon things political in the very near future. The resolutions took the form of a pledge, the singers promising to cast their votes in future for candidates for public office who came out scruarely and un equivocally for temperanae. The or ganization claims to rally a solid nhal- anx of 1,000 voters in Cass county who will cast their votes for a "dry" can didate as against a "wet." It is the intention of the organization to go be fore the conventions of the old parties and announce that their strength will go solidly to the candidates, only, who will go on record as favoring temper ance. That means the water wagon for a number of the boys. The Plattsmouth delegates sneak in highest praise of their entertainment at Elmwood. They were not wined. but they were dined early and often, most royally. The meeting were held in the Methodist church, which had been beautifully decorated for the oc casion. A list of the officers elected will be published later. Football Team.
