OFFICIAL PAPER OF CASS COUNTY THE NEWS-HERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY, Publishers P. A. BARROWS RATES OF One Year in Advance, $1.50. riattsmouth Telephone No. 85. NOVEMBER I, 1009 IN CONCLUSION. The campaign has practically come to an end. Tomorrow the battle of the ballots will decide the contest. The campaign in some instances has been a bitter one. Animosities have been cracted which will never be heal ed. Men will go down to their graves with bitter thoughts of their neighbor, caused by the accusations made in this campaign. Both parties recognizing that a nomination by their party was not cquivilent to an election, placed good men upon their county tickets. The campaign might have progressed to the end, as it started, in a friendly manner and without emmity, but for one disturbing element. The campaign might have begun and ended and the candidates at its close clasped hands across the ballot box and congratulated each other that the campaign was over and could take each other by the hand and asneighbors and friends be glad that no feelings were hurt and no friendships severed, but for one thing. Men in their eagerness for the spoils of office, were not true to their man hood. They forgot the friendships of other days and were willing to go to any length, sacrifice what might have been eternal friendship, if only they might continue to feed at the public crib and enjoy the emoluments of office. Men whose character had for years been above reproach were false ly accused. Men who had served the public faithfully and would turn over to the public at the end of their term the office entrusted to their care, as clean and untarnished as when it was received from the hands of their, prede cessor, were accused of dishonest acts. Possibly they might not have con ducted that office inthe manner wihch BJme menj might have conducted it. Possibly they may have neglected to have made the entries upon their re cords in just exactly the way they would have been made by men who were brought up in office work. Possibly they might have been just a little negligent at times in making the reports that the law required that they should have made. PoBsilby they may not have done all the things that is expected of a public officer in just the way that others may Have thought they ought to have been done. But no man doubted their honesty until other men in their madness for the Bpoils that go with office, assailed their character and brought reproach upon the guod name of a neighbor. It did not matter that the official was under a good and sufficient bond which would protect the public from all lose It did not matter that if the business had not been conducted in the latest and most approved methods, that the tax payer would not be in danger, these things were forgotten, and in the mad rush for spoils the name of i good man, a kind and obliging neigh bor and an honest citizen must be trailed in the mud, -just so that they gain their ends.. . . ., But in their haste to gain the prize they forgot to cover their tracks. In their haste to gather the sheckles that would naturally come irom the acquis ition of these offices to their party. They over stepped the bounds of dect n cy. In their haste to prove the guilt of the party they would seek to humiliate and defeat, they were so ture of their ground that they staked their all on one turn of the wheel and instead of proving the officer guilty they them selves were compelled to proclaim their innocence. ,, . The campaigu is over. Tomorrow is the, time for action. , Possibly this pa per; has nq right, to jcuggest V; the V r A T TV - ncKALiLl f Y Y Y Y Y Y Y f Y Y f Y .9 Editor and Manager SUBSCRIPTION Six Months in advance, 75c Nebraska Telephone No. 85 voter how he should cast his ballot. Possibly we ought not to say what we have said or what we may say. But we have tried to conduct the campaign, or rather our part of it, on the square. The question for the voter to decide has heen placed before him in such a way that there is no sidestepping the responsibility. Are you going to aid in the kind of a campaign that has been put up against honest men by assisting in the unholy campaign that has been put up against Sheriff Quinton, E. E. Odelland others. If you cast your votes against these men you are countenancing the kind of campaign that has been put up by their enemies who were willing to ruin the reputation of these honorable citi zens just so that they could get the chance to rake in the few dollars which would naturally come to them through the election of their own candidates, Is Old Cass to be the future battle ground of square honest fighting, or are the disreputable methods used in this campaign to have your sanction and approval by the casting of your vote. Voter, it is up to you. In District Court. In the case of Fisher vs. Larson the first hearing is Bet for next Monday. The hearing is for the purpose of show ing why the sale should not be con firmed.

Acknowledge the Benefit Plattsmouth Has to Bow to the Enevi table Scores of Citi zens Proves it After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Platts mouth, given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied up on to perform the same work in other cases. Read this: J. W. Hickson, Oak Street, riatts mouth, Nebr., says: "I will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills, as they were of sftch great benefit tq, me several years ago. My Kidneys and back were a source of constant suffer ing and I was subject to attacks of umbago that came on without the east warning. The simplest move ment was painful and I was anoyed more or less by the irregular passages of the kidney secretions. I read so much about Doan's Kidney Pills, that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co. 's drug store. I was bo gratified with the results of their use that I publicly endorsed them in 1906 and at this time, I heartily renew that state ment. I hope that other kidney suf ferers will profit by my experience." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Due wishes to accomplish some great good, another wishes for power and another for wealth. James I.eadbeuter, an English waiter In a New Vork club, wished to cut a swutb. He would He awake nights drrnuilug of riding be hind a spun, a eoacbmun In livery on tbe box, himself in the vehicle, a "tiger" behind, lie kuew that uiouey alone would enable blm to realize bis dream and wished money for this sole purpose. He bud no tbougbt of work ing for lt-suvlng It. Possibly If be bud wotkwl for and saved It wbeu be had got enough together to eiiuct tbe paTj o a swell be would have put off doing so, bis dream baring been sup planted by tb pleax'i'e of uet'iunulnt lng. As it was be uhued to make money rapidly and without labor. An uncle died and left him $1,000. As suou as bo had received his In heritance he took a second class pas sage for Genon nud from there went to Monte Curio. On reaching tbe latter place be bud $:xkj Id bis pocket and was sufficiently well dressed to rbtnlu admission v to i.io gambling subus. Thitber be went and begun to piny. Of tbe vicissitudes attending bis ca reer over the tubles It is only neces sary to this story to state that. tbougU many times reduced to a few francs, he mnunged always to buve something with which to go on playiug. At sucb times be would bet guardedly till bis luck bud changed, tbeu "plunge." Jo tbls way be dually got together enough money to attain bis ambition. lie bought a pair of horses, a carriage and hired a coucbiuan and a tiger. The day be snw bis conch driven up to bis door and tbe tiger dismount and opeu tbe door for biiu was tbe happi est of his life. He contrasted tbe scene with bis own self lu cluret col ored coat nud trousers mid yellow striped vest serving members of the club at which be bad been u waiter. Strutting to Ids equipage with tbe uir of a marquis, be throw bluiself buck on the cushions and was rolled away lu supreme comfort. For a month lie gave himself up to the realization of bis dream, uever vis iting tbe tables lest something might occur to mar bis enjoyment. But at tbe end of that time he returned to tbe field of tbe cloth of gold witb a view simply to amusement. At times he won and at times, like every other gambler, lost. Finally be struck a vein of bad luck and for a time feared that he would buve to discharge bis coachman and footman. He managed to keep them by putting off tbe payment of their wages, but ran heavily In debt to his footman, who was more willing to wait than the coachman. Then Lead ben ter Invented a princi ple ou which he was sure to wiu at the tables. He tried it and won. though It Is probable his success was rut her due to a run of luck. than bis prluclple. He won steadily, luit not heavily. One day while driving through the environs of Monte Carlo, Hie envy of all who could not afford sucb a turnout, his tiger, sitting on the box In rear, tapped on the buck window. "What Is it, Armand?" asked Lend beater, letting down the little square sasb,- "Uould not your excellency pay me some of tbe wages due meV" Excellency! How delicious the word always sounded! An Idea occurred to the master by which be might dis charge the debt without costing him anything. He knew his tiger would gamble If he had a chance. Every body at Monte Carlo gnmbled. lnd benter would win the amount of his wages. "now much do I owe yon. Armand?" "Five hundred francs." "Here It Is," replied the mnster. tnk Ing five 100-fninc notes from his pock etbook. Then he changed from the front to the br.ck sent. "Have you a pack of rnrds? Ah. how fortunnte! Let us have a gunie. The back sent will serve us for a table. You can sit where you are and piny through the win dow." "You are very condescending, excel lency, to play with your footmnn," sold tbe mnn, much flattered. They were by this time quite out lu the country, where they were not like ly to meet ninny people. Lendboater directed his conchmnn to drive slowly, and the two gamblers became greatly absorbed In the gnme. Grndunlly the lackey's stake went through the back window info bis nocktt. Within half an hour lie had won all the money his muster bud with blm, and this was nil Lendbeater possessed except his dearly prized turnout. To recoup, he bet one of his horses. He lost. Then he bet the other horse, the harness, the livery, the carriage. All passed from tnntnr to man.-The dream of Lead iM'ater's life had faded. He had uwuk eiied to the reality of life without a cent In bis pocket. He lay buck on the cushion and groaned. The winner was Julillaiit. but be was touched by his Muster's misfortune "I w ill mnke your excellency n prop osition," bp paid. "I will pell my pos sessions, give you hnlf and keep half myself." Within the most contemptible breasts lias linen plnnted something noble. "N." said the master, "you have won Mrlv and are entitled to your win Hni's.
