The Wahoo Wasp has started a car
toon service, the work of Mr. G. W.
Anderson of Valpariso, which if the
following cartoons are to be as good
as the first one, it will be a valuable
help to the paper. The cartoon of
this week showed the democratic
donkey with Dahlman offering him
wet food and Bryan on the other side
with a box of dry food. It was a
mighty good picture.

A WEEPING WATER WAIL.
Some of the members of the
Commercial Club of Plattsmouth
have notified the evening papers
there that henceforth a spade is
not a spade but a club. If they
have a cloud burst there the papers

appear that it is only a gentle rain
there the papers must make" it
appear that it is only a gentle
rain. Floods are to be reckoned
as sprinkling the streets. If a
fire destroys a brick block, it is
some chimney burning out.
If the B. &. M. shops cut down
wages or hours it is because the
workn.cn are so prosperous they
request it. If a drunk man lays
out his family, it is only a little
surprise party. The roads arc
never to be muddy, but dry and
dusty. A cyclone is a gentle zeph

"See Plattsmouth Succeed."
News is going to be scarce now
the censors are at work. Only
pretty home weddings and pink
trained on the governor with the
determination to force county option
upon his party in the state. If this
is true it will mean a battle royal.
Mr. Bryan will have the short end
of it but his exceptional ability and
his remarkable hold upon the peopic
will make it at least a doubtful ques
tion whether he cannot lead the party
to a position that would have been
just a little suspicious that possibly
these papers might again be adver
tising a Ringling Brothers show with
wagon road attractions.
But be that as it may, as the bull
frog said to the tree toad, we went
up to the state house at the appointed
hour and stood on the outside waiting
patiently for the appearance of Gen.
Hartigan with a detachment of Ne
braska National Guard who would
surround the state house for the pur
pose of keeping order. But the

THE SCENE SHIFTS.
Unless reports arc untrue Governor
Sludlcnberger's greatest trouble is
not going to come from Mayor Jim
and his followers, tho not long ago
that was what seemed imminent.
Political scenes some times shift
quickly and unexpectedly. That is
w ha. they have done for the democrats
in recent weeks. Not long since it was
supposed that the contest within the
party would be between those who
would stand as advance .member
guards in favor of the 8 o'clock clos
ing law, the party members gave a
big majority against in the legislature
and those who favor the wide-open
policy for which Mayor Dahlman
stands. But already the Dahlman
policy has been practically passed up
and now the contest within the party
is between thc governor and 8 o'clock
closing and Bryan and county option.
It is asserted upon "high authority"
that thc Bryan endorsement of county
and the Board came together on the
occasion of the next meeting of the
board that thc fur would fly and that
there would be something doing at
thc meeting which would be worth
lice Gazette.
We were somewhat surprised when
we discovered that the large, portly
good looking gentlemen sitting at the
end of the table, whom we had known
slightly for several years as Mr. Lud
den, was really thc ferocious "Poli
tician Preacher," who ate a man every
morning for breakfast and drank a
bucket of blood every night before
retiring, according to thc reports from
some of the papers would lead one to
believe. A very quiet ministerial
looking gentleman not far from him
we were told was Prof. Crabtrce, who
had according to those same reports
stood up as Ajax defying the lightning,
and had sworu to wipe the Peru Nor
mal school off the face of the earth
or bust his suspenders. Very close to
him sat another member of the board
the resident member from Peru,
who was also suppe scd to have a big
knife up each sleeve, but he did not
look nearly as mean as thc papeis had
advertised him. Then at thc head of
the table sat the President of the
Board, who did not look at all worried
over the terrible carnage which was
expected to be pulled off any minute.
There was also the state treasurer, Mr
Brian, whom thc papers had adver
tised as thc bull dog of the board,
who at this meeting would be ex
pected to grab a mouthful out of Crab
tree and the rest of thc fellows who
were savagely opposing him. And too
there was State Superintendent Bishop
who was expected to get into the game
to save the educational interests of
the country, even at the sacrifice of
every hair on the top of his head.
There was only one thing in that

eoing many miles to behold. Con-, meeting which looked to us as if time
sequen'ly when the day approached I would be trouble, and that was a small
for the meeting we hied ourselves box reposing on ihe center of the table
to thc capital city with the expecta-1 marked "razors. However it was
tion that we were going to see a scrap
which would put the Johnson-Jcf-feries
mill to the bad.
On arriving at the capital city we
discovered by the evening papers that
thc probabilities were that our expect
ations would be realized and that a
pretty good mill would be pulled ofl
between "Preacher Luddcn" secre
tary of the Normal Board and Prof-.
Crabtrce, when the two came to
gether in the meeting the next day.
However we had not quite forgotten
a much advertised scrap published by
these papers a couple of months ago
which was advertised as a red hot
conflict in which the Oliver theatre
was to be filled with a surging crowd
insui ging insurgents w ho w ere resolved
to save the country, even at the price
of gobs of red, red blood, and such
announcement had caused us to ne
glect thc duties of thc editorial stunt
and go to thc city with the expecta
tions of seeing Uonnebrook fair
eclipsed and which, proved to be a
very ordinary meeting, and we were
not opened during the session 'and
may not have contained anything
more destructive than rubber stamps
or something of that kind.
Candidly we believe that the tiouhlc
down at 1 cru would have been set
tled much more satisfactorily and
without harm to thc institution if
the newspapers had been contented
to keep out of the sensational business
of carrying on the matter. There is
one tiling that we do not understand
and that is why Prof. Crabtrce should
hand his resignation to the news
papers before he handed it to thc board
His resignation was accepted by
thc same vote of four for to three
against which was shown when the
matter of asking for his resignation
was up before
Next time we go to Lincoln to see
