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.

patrolmen were made to the night
force of the police department in
that city the night before. That

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

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

to live in simply does not know what
he is talking about.

sixteen-year-old girl from the result
of a criminal operation. 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.

WILL DEMONSTRATE A
SAVING IN FUEL
Crude Petroleum Said to be Cheap
er Than Coal.
Today Fred W. Vehnhoir who
for many years lived in this city aud
for the past few years has been a res
ident, of Omaha, will demonstrate
at the store of Peter Clans, the feasi
bility of using crude petroleum for
fuel, as in contrast with wood or coal.
Mr. Lehnhoff is well and favorably
known in Plattsmouth and vicinity
and what he shall promise will be ex
pected. The claims for the invention
which is placed inside of a stove and
works equally well in a cook or heating
stove, and is guaranteed to save one
the money yhat is either expended
for the wood or coal.
Come to the business place of Peter
Claus and see the demonstration
which will take place in a day or two,
and in all probability today some
tune.
Returns From Hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Clugev return
ed yesterday afternoon from Omaha
where Mrs. Clugey the dav before
underwent an operation for the re
moval of some poisoned glands caus
ed by blood poisoning in her arm.

The attending physician. Dr. Allison.
highly commended the eour.-e of
treatment which Dr. Cirmnins had
pursued, aud left tl i remainder of the
treatment to him. Mrs. Clugey is
progressing finely and eiiteitains
hopes that she will be entirely recov
ered in a short time.

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.
