We certainly feel proud of the ujv pcurauce of the Tlattsinouth Daily News since they have installed their new type machine. Not only that but It ia a mighty well edited paper and Editor barrows is apparently getting the support in a measure that he de serves. The lepuMican party needed a good news-paper in Plattsniouth and there is one there now who can tell the truth and still be an influential factor in the community. Wttiing Water Republican. lit Has the Time Now. Clerk of the District Court Hobert m is a happy man today, in fact he has been happy since last night. For some time past Mr. Robertson-has been cni.oyrd because he was unable to give the time tf day to callers at his office and he has frequently been put to the tiouble of going to some other office to get the time. Taking advantage of a meeting of the board of county com missioners he went before that body with a request that a time piece of Rome kind be provided at the clerk's office. The county board expressed great sympathy for the genial clerk and really felt that he was suffering for a lack of time. So great was their sym pathy that they went at once into ex ecutive session and the result of their deliberations was a subscription paper which was generally signed by the members and other officials and a time piece was purchased. Immediately after the district court had adjourned a body of men consisting of the com missioners and the other contributors to the time fund, headed by Judge Pemberton, filed into the clerk's office and informed Mr. Robertson that it had come to their knowledge that his office was not working "on time" and knowing that he was bo particular in that respect they had decided to pur chase for his use a time piece which it was hoped would be to him a remem brance that he was not forgotten by his other official friends who desired that his every want should be prompt ly provided for. It gave them great pleasure to present to him a means whereby at all times he would know when to go to his meals and at the same time when he looked it in the face he would recall one of the happiest mo ments of his official life. Judge Pem berton made the presentation speech i 1 his most hnnnv vein and the emo tion of Mr. Robertson was. most pa thetic to witness. As the judge con cluded his speech he stepped forward and "handed the clerk a package." for a few moments Mr. Robertson was too overcome to reply, but finally h! arose to the occasion and spoke elo quently of the pleasure he felt. Then h remobed the wrappings and dis posed to view a handsome "Inger.ol watch." Tableau and then some. Hiwever, Mr. Robertson is wearing p oudly his new timepiece, and looks a though he was happy.

The amount paid out was $3,747.03. For distribution among the four heirs w'.ll be $13,778.57. 1 The That is what our groceries are.

The folulwing from the Rrock bul letin will be of interest to Plattsniouth people le cause of the fact that the bride is the daughter of Mr. 11. Norton, agent of the Missouri Pacific Railway at this place: At the home of Mr. and Mrs. V. II. Norton, in Talmage, at S:3() a. m., Wednesday, t.ccurred the wedding of Fred (. Hawxby and Miss IVarle Norton, both of Auburn. The ceremony was performed by Elder Harris and the bride and groom were attended by Miss Gertrude Rob ertson and Elmer Dovel. Immediately after the wedding breakfast which fol lowed the ceremony, the bridal couple drove to Julian and boarded the train for Kansas City at St. Louis to spend their honeymoon. They will be at home to their friends in Auburn after January 1. The bride is the daughter of II. Nor ton, formerly of Rrock. and was reared in this village where slio was very pop ular and has a host of warm friends. The groom is the junior member of the firm of Stull & Hawxby and is one of the leading attorneys of southeast Ne braska. Uncle Tom Was Injured. Thomas Kennish, called by his best friends "Uncle Tom," was injured this morning but, we are glad to state, not seriously. Of late he has been driving a team for the Dovey store. This morning he had backed his team up to the rear door of the store, the wagon being heavily loaded. One of the mules got frisky and proceeded to hold the reins with his tail. Mr. Kennish reached forward to sooth them and about that time the contrary animals took a no tion to run. The sudden start threw the driver forward onto the ground and one of the wheels passed over his foot. Mr. Kennish was picked up and car ried into the store and later taken home where upon examination it was found that no serious injury had re sulted from the mishap. The thick mud into which Mr. Kennish fell evi dently saved him. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. Louisville Courier. General Manager Pollock of the In dependent Telephone Company, was a business visitor in town Tuesday. J. V. Kinnison was agreeably sur prised at his home Saturday by a par to of friends, it being his 37th birth day. An enjoyable time was spent and Mr. Kinnison was the recipient of a lovely oak rocker. Refreshments were served and at a late hour they re turned widhing him many more happy birthdays. In our report of the vote of Louis ville precinct in last week's issue of the Courier an error crept in, giving the vote received by Commissioner M. L. Fricdrich as 05 when it should have been 95. Mr. Fricdrich was eledted for a second term, after one of the hardest fights of the campaign, his op ponent, G. P. Mcisinger, being very popular. Best ! ? ? ? ? ? ? t ? ? ? ? ? t t f ? f ? T T f t ? ? ? ? Flies Two Petitions. In the matterof the estate of Dr. Edward T. Rickard, deceased, Mrs. Lydia M. Rickard, the widow, has made application for appointment of herself as administratrix. Mrs. Rick ard has also petitioned the court for the appointment of herself as guardian of her two children. This is made nec essary owing to the fact that Dr. Rickard had left life insurance pay able to the children, Eisner, aged 10 years, and Edward T., aged 3 months.

Mr. Turnipseed's home is in Washington, Iowa, and they will probably return to that place ultimately, although Mr. Turnipsced has been working at Norfolk.

Erroneous Report. , A representative of the Loose Wiles Cracker and Candy Co., of Kansas City, was in the city Friday calling on the trade. He says that the report that he is looking for a location to establish a branch house is not so. but it he was he would not look any further than Plattsniouth. . MINSTRELS MAKE HIT AT COATES HALL Attend Bazar Tonight or You will Miss Something. Once more have the ladies of St. Mary's Guild demonstrated that they usually make a success of anything they undertake. The bazar given last night and which will be repeated to night was well attended and the re ceipts were something like $170. Coates hall which is being used for the event was lxautiful!y decorated and the bootlis were filled with articles consisting of fancy needlework and other things of a nature to appeal to the shopper. As the News man viewed the pretty scene Wednesday afternoon his attention was first attracted to the Maidenhood booth, which was in the form of a garden party, with the wall covered with poppies. At this booth were served coffee, baked beans and brown bread. Next came Girlhood. This booth was built with a number of nets, and oyster stew was served, also lovely rich cakes, pies fruits, salads and "sit h." Near by was Childhood, built in the shape of a ginger bread house, presided over by children who sold ice cream, popcorn and candy.. One of their great drawing cards was a grab bag. The Infancy booth was built in the shape of a large cradle in red, white and blue. Here they sold everything to delight t he little mother's heart. The Matrons booth, where all kinds of aprons and fancy work were on sale, was liberally patronized. Ad joining was a booth built in the shape of a porch party for old age. The dec orations were conceived by Mrs. II. S. Austin and carried out under her per sonal supervision. Then came the MINSTRELS. what are we going to say about them. We laughed so much last night that, honestly, when we start to write our impressions our old head is filled with merry thoughts and our heart with laughter and it is almost impossible for us to sober up long enough to do the job justice. Any way, here is the line-up: Interlocutor Mes. H.'S. Austin as Miss Fillis Filena Funny Pace. Bones Grctchen Donnelly as Miss Dina Do Little and Miss Gladys Sul livan as Miss Pansy Heartbreaker. Tambos Florence Dovey and Ber nice Newell. Minstrelmen Helen Kline as Miss Sweetie Spellbinder, Edna Patterson as Betsy Belinda Butter Ball, Mollic Seivers as Miss Nancy Nimblcfoot, Dorothy Britt and Verna Hatt. The soloists were Gladys Sullivan, Helen Kline, Grctchen Donnelly, Edna Peterson and Mrs. II. S. Austin. The dancer was Mollie Seivers and the accompanist lone Dovey The troupe of trained artists were under the direction of Mrs. II. S. Aus tin. The large crowd which gathered to see the minstrels expected to be enter tained, but it was totally unprepared for the appearance of the black face artists when they made their appear ance upon the stage and therefore the burst of applause following was spon taneous and hearty. The specialty stunts by Misses Kline, Sullivan, Pet erson, Donnelly, Sievers and Mrs. Austin were ridiculously funny and each artist received all that was coming to them in the way of handclapping. One feature not down on the bills hap pened when two of the beautiful col ored "gentlemen" appeared wearing whiskers which simply wouldn't stay on. It is no use, girls, you will have to wear whiskers by proxy. We want to compliment the entire company upon their efferts, and Mrs. Austin upon her success in bringing her troupe to such a state of profi ciency. The show will be repeated twice tonight. Montana Exhibit Coming. A special Great Northern railway car of exhibits from the Milk River valley of Montana is now touring Ne braska and will be here on December 5.

Those who were fortunate enough to be pres ent were the Mesdames Fred Renzer, Andrew Kroehler, Olga Croskary, John Lutz, George Bruhl and Flora Wad dick. Acknowledge the Benefit Plattsmouth Has to Bow to the Enevitable-Scores of Citi zens Proves it. After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Platts mouth, given below, you must come to j 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, Platts mouth, Ntbr., fays: "I will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pilln, as they were of such greot benefit to me several years ago. My kidneys and back were a source of constant suffer ing and I was subject to attacks of lumbago that came on without the lenst warning. The simplest move ment was painful and I was anoyed more or less by the irregular passages of the kidney secretions. I reHd so much about Donn'e Kidney Pills, that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co. 's drug store. I was so gratified with th 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 Bale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Viilburn Co., BulTalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
