Six Months in advance, 75c Plattsmouth Telephone No. 85. Nebraska Telephone No. 85 t ? ? ? Y ? ? ? f f t 9 Congress hns been in setwion a couple of days and Joe Cannon and Senator Aldrich arc Htill alive. The prediction of the News is that toward the close of President Tuft's administration there will be a general demand that he accept a second term, and the present "insurgents" wilt be shouting the loudest for him to do so. One thing was Hhown in the presi dont's message, and that was that theTaft administration, if has his way, will be one of retrenchment on government expenditures. And we rather think that he will have some thing to say about it. . A man in Lincoln got so hard up for a drink last Tuesday that he resorted to a bottle of wood alcohol. And yet name people say whiskey can be bought anywhere in that city. The man is dead. Evidently the town is not as wet as some people would like to think. In a big Hcare head the VVorld Ilcrald announces "The Progressives are Disappointed Over the President's Message." Sure thing they are. So are the democrats, but they will re lieve their feelings by limpid eriti oisui. It is hard telling what the pro gressives will do. important parts of his message, and yet, the senator is called a "pro gressive." The senator is in a position to know, which goes a great deal farther with us than the long distance bellyaching of thesocalled "progressives" a thousand miles away from the base of operations. I'nele Sam and President Diaz are getting their heads together for the purpose of gett itig the Cent ral American iiddle cleared up. This menus that it will be cleared all right and that there is going to be something doing lwn there if that man Zelaya docs ot come across with the goods. Senator JHurkett is drafting a hill along the line suggested by th president to revise the entire scheme of judieialf procedure in the federal ciirts makingjit less expensive and simpler. If this bill should pass it would be a great thing for the poor fellow who hns to go to court and hs.s little to go with, .'ml yet it has been said that Senator Murkett U not "progressive." President Taft should at once be iufoimed (hut the Worid-IIerald is dissatisfied with his message to con gress. Strange, very strange, lint then, eomejo think of it.tlie World Herald has never been satisfied with the work of any republican alTicisl, and in fact '.lure lias lu'cn name things that a democratic !Hcial has done which has not suit ed the same paper. Fact is the World-IIcrald is much plenty knocker. Washington dispatches Sunday say that the "insurgents" held a meeting Saturday for the purpose of changing the rules. Among the names of those in attendance were three Nebraska congressmen known as Norris, Hin- shaw and Kinkaid. These three fellows are willing to go in with the dcmocratsjto change the rules of the house so that a minority can over rule the speaker. In other words, they are willing to play into the hands of the democrats and give them stand ing enough so that" they can go into the next campaign and tell the voters that they "killed the bear." This will mean that every republican will go into the campaign next fall with handicap. It will mean that the chan- handicap. It will mean that the chances of electing a republican United States senator from Nebraska will be lessened because of the coalition of these en with the democratic minority in congress, giving them the chance to get out on the stump and claim that it was the democratic party which was responsible for what legislation may be made. These men when then want votes next fall should get them from democratic sources instead of asking rrcpublieann to send them back where they can bushwhack and harass the rcpublica party in the rear. In calling them "insurgents" they are well named, and we do not believe that the rank and file of the republican party will sanction anything of the kind. Twelve below zero this morning That is about the right kind of winter weather to please the coal dealer. And dear people, the coal dealer has got to have his harvest just as well as the farmer, the gardner, the ice man, Dance" is? They pulled one off up and the newspaper man, though the in Butte, Montana the other night harvest time for the latter does not and as a result seven poor girls with The Lincoln State Journal of yes terday says that an addition of two patrolmen were made to the night force of the police department in that city the night before. That makes the city guarded by seven police. Say, but that must be an awful wicked city for one that "every other store is a boot leggi ng establish ment." as told by a Sioux City re port er. A city of over (iO.OOO people with a night police force of seven men. The fellow who thiovs slurs at the city of Lincoln wants to remem ber that there is no city of its size in the world that get along with as small a police force as does our capi tal city. Furthermore there are few cities of its size that do as much business or have as great bank de posits, unless it happens to be a manufacturing city. The fellow who says that Lincoln, Nebraska , is ' a dead town, and an undesirable town to live in simply does not know what he is talking about. Will some good individual please enlighten us as to what a "Marathon Wants to Establish Agency. H.

She was a pretty little girl and the young fellow had always appeared like a nice sort of a fellow as far as we were able to discover. But it was the same old story where a physician for the small sum of five dollars was willing to risk his reputation and a term in the pen itentiary to help a girl out of her trouble. Nothing too severe for men of this stripe can be given them. It may be that the full and aw ful results of the Cherry mine disastor are not over yet. According to all accounts the women and children from the families of those who lost their lives arc in a starring condition. This puts thj mine owners in a bad light and the investigation which has been started may turn out serious for them. The action of the Presbyterian Synod in voting to move the Belle- rue college to Hastings and consoli date it with the college there has raised a storm of protest from the friends of the former at Bellevue. What the result will be cannot at this time be determined.

Mr. Barr i reported as not tnaki g th improvement that is VirrfI. The title of a new case in Judtre Beeson'8 court is the State of Nebras ka vs. Florence I. Meyer, alias Flor ence 1. Smith, alias Florence I. Hen dry x, alias Florence I. Meyer, de fendant, and the charge is bigamy. i iorence, ttie woman with the plural names, has been residing at or near the beautiful city of Greenwood, Cass co.unty, with her second venture, and it alleged that she should not have done it. The complaint recited that I iorence I. Meyer, etc., etc., on the 11th day of April, A. I). 100N, in the county of Scotts Bluff, State of Ne braska, did take unto her u husband, known as one Charles IL Meyer and that later on, in fact on the 30th day of October, I'M)'.), in Cass county, did unlawfully and feloniously marry one Fred C. Hall, without first easting aside by due process of law her first incumbrance, viz., Chas. R. Meyer, and as Charley is .still roaming about upon this mundane sphere, in apparent bodily health, it was thought by the custodians of the law that Florence was becoming too nroiiiusi lions in acquiring husband and Sheriff Quinton was instructed to gather in the gentle Flo and bring her to his official resi dence where he was further instructed to house and board her until further orders, all of which the sheriff pro ceeded to do. Another complaint was also filed in which the State of Nebraska ap pears as plaintiff and 1'rnl C. Mall, defendant. This complaint alleges that Fred C. Hall had wantonly, unlawfully and continuously lived and cohabited in a state of adultery with Florence I. Meyer, and other names too numerous to mention, at least since October 30th up to ami including December 11th. The .sheriff was also instructed to bring Freil in aud place him where it would be possible to get at him iu time of need. 1 red is also in jail. Husband No. 1 was expected here Saturday, but up to the present time has failed to present his letters of in troduction ot any order credentials He may arrive yet and in the meantime there will be two steady boarders at the county jail until the law has decided what is to be done. LATKU The case came up for hearing this afternoon before Judge Beeson and the woman and huslmnd No. 2 waved examination and took a continuance to the next term of the district court. Husband N0. 1 was here and has taken his wife back to its home and fireside, first depoutitig bonds for her appearance. Ha 1 claims bhat he thought the first, marriage of his wife presumed had been annulled. The probabilities are that nothing more will be done in the case.
