T WAS ALL RIGHT Editor Olive of Weeping Water Talks About His Visit in Plattsmouth. WAS MUCH PLEASED WITH RECEPTION Gives Plattsmouth Commercial Club Credit for Being a Live Bunch. 1 Vi r,v we print a portion of the many good things which Editor Olive of the Weeping Water Republican had to say after Retting home from the meeting of the Cass county Editorial association in this city last week. Several other editors who were pres ent have expressed themselves favor ably with their reception, and in fact all of them have, but unfortunately we lost their papers in the mass of exchanges which ycoim; to our table and cannot publish the good things said by all of them.

BRYAN NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT Illinois Prohibitionists Endorse Prominent Nebraskan. At a county convention of prohib itionists held in Nashville, '111., last Wednesday a resolution was heartily passed endorsing William Jennings Hryan for the presidency on a pro hibition ticket. Plattsmouth Man Elected. R. B. Windham, the well known Plattsmouth man, had considerable honor bestowed upon him yesterday while in Lincoln, in being elected one of the two reresentatives of the First congressional district of the Knights and Ladies of Security. The election was made at the district convention which was held in the Hohonan block at Lincoln and Mr. Windham is to act as one of the four representatives of the state at the supreme council at Springfield, 111., next June. J. II. Kreps of Lincoln was elected as the other representative of the dis trict and J. C. Vanier of Dubois and Mrs. Marie McCreary of Falls City were elected as alternates. All of the four pe ms above named were can didates for representatives and three ballots were taken in making the elect ion. Delegates representing all the rest of the state were chosen at anoth er meeting held in Omaha yesterday. It is quite a distinction for Mr. Wind ham to be one of the chosen four of the entire state who will represent the lodge at the big convention in the spring. Burned a Pile ol Rubbish. ''Hob" Pates was trying to get rid of his afternoon sheets in the usual manner this morning but he built his bon lire a little to close to Water man's lumber sheds and the gusty wind transplanted a few sparks of journalism into a rubbish heap ad joining the sheds and the result was the place broke out into a flame. The fire bell was tuned up but before the hose cart arrived the fire brigade of the Journal force had come to the rescue and saved the day with a bucket of water. Had the fire not been dis covered in time, it would have devel oped into a merry blaze with the strong wind to fan it through the dry frame buildings of the lumber yard. Follow ing the recent action taken by the city council to get busy on the rubbish in the back yards, it served as a good reminder to clean up. To Start Can Business. lf.1i:.. CI i i i " . .

The people who had planned on making an evening trip . to Omaha yesterday were somewhat disappoint ed for Missouri Pacific train 103 which i.s due here about five, was delayed four or five hours by a derailment at Nebraska City. While traveling at a slow rate of speed just east of that city, the tender jumped the track carrying with it the baggage and mail car. Fortunately neither of the cars turned over and no injuries resulted. The derailment occurred just after the train had entered a deep cut and it was with some difficulty that the cars were reached and placed on the track. ELEPHANTS HEAR THAT TEDDY COMES Break Away From go on a Rampage TWO MEN SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE BEASTS Small Buildings Wrecked and Much Damage Done by ' Them in Their Frenzy. DANVILLE, 111., April 27 Several persons were injured and property damaged to the amount of several thousand dollars when eight bulls and one female elephant of the Ring ling show stampeded here today. As the pachyderms were being unloaded after several hours ride from Chicago, one of the bulls made a break for lib erty, bowling over the keeper, and es caping. He was followed by seven other bulls. Later when the entire force of trainers and keepers were engaged in the unusual sport of hunt elephants in automobiles, the female escaped. For several hours the ele phants were at large, despite the fact that the entire force of police reserves were culled into action and gave chase After escaping the elephants moved for some time in a bunch, then seper ated. They stopped for nothing, except brick and stone buildings, and small frame structures, coal sheds fences and .trees in their path were pushed aside turned over, uprooted and thrown to one side. At the home of William Miller, three elephants found that there was not sufficient room for them to pass between the summer kitchen and resilience and pushed the kitchen aside badly frightening the persons therein.

Other persons were slightly injured when horses were frightened or through their own fright during the stampede. More than 100 homes were visited by the elephants and the damage will probably ag gregate 89,000 or $10,000.

RUTH TO TAKE ENGLISH TREATMENT Engaged to Marry an Army Oillcer In the Johnny Bull Army. Morning papers announce that Ruth Hryan Leavitt, daughter of the three time presidential candidate, will try another shy at the niatrin onial game. This time it is a liritishAnnv officer by the name of Lietei ant Reginald Altham Owen. The wedding will be pulled off at Fairview next Tuesday and the happy couple will start right out on their spoonyhon, landing in England in the not far dim distant future. The American people will all join in wishing that her second venture will be prolific of much happiness for the poor girl deserves to be happy, as her first marriage was not a howling success. Just Between us Girls (By Sister Mary) "How much can we marry on?" That is the question every man asks whether his salary be $10 a week or a hundred. The question depends entirely nnon the girl. Of course if the lady of his heart is obliged -to have six hats every season a new $75 tailored suit every time the styles change, and evenimr dresses negligees, afternoon gowns, and furs and feathers in proportion, even the young man who makes his hundred a week had hetter run, for it's more likely that she will have a taste for expensive restaurants, matinees twice a week, maids and automobiles like wise, and five thousand a year, while it s mighty good salary, won t nermit a young couple to live like multi millionaires. Now if, on the other hand, the irirl is a sensible girl, who can cook her own meals, clean her own house, and miike her own clothes, even the man with only $10 a week may take heart and feel that there is some hope for him. J5ut he (I better be sure t int, he's getting the real domestic article, and not a fake. Many a young man has eaten on hid and layer cake which Sadie's mama made, but which he thought was con cocted by Sadie s own fair hands. Seriously, a young couple can marry on a pretty small income and live on it too, if they will remember t wo or three important things. The first of these important things is not to pay too much rent. Iletter are two rooms and a kitchenette at a decent rent than four rooms with all the improvements and two-thirds of the pay envelope going to the land lord. Fix this point firmly in your minds you should not pay more than one fourth of your entire income for rent ami not that if you can live in any sort of decency and comfort for less. There's no use of my saying that a woman should always do her own marketing if she doesn't want to be cheated. There are precious few butchers who won't add a few cents to the price of a steak when you are not there to see it weighed, and it's the small orangi s and the dried up celery that the green grocer sends around if you don't pick them out yourself. There is a big saving in this way, and when the pennies must, be care fully counted you'll iiml it navs to attend to these matters. Now for one other thing-always live with a little maigin of your! income to save. If it's only a dollar a week, save it and put it in the savings bank, where you'll b;ve it if sickness or trouble come to you. If you don't need to draw it out , why, it will gather a Utile interest, ami will be ready whin the time conies to 'buy that little home in the suburbs that you're always dreaming i f, with its garden and bs comfortable porch Itinl its cheery, homelike firr place. I Its the wcr! thiiitr vou can do in live right up to Ihe last dollar in your pockets evciy wt i k. And there's anothi r pi, fall for the average young couple end that is in trying to furnish all at once and oft running into debt for a dining r u i.i si t that i.s far too craml f r vou. j Huy a piece at a time and get oidv jthe al s lute essentials. Your house ! will grow more pirfeit from week t" j week, ar il will be much more of a pleasure to you lhan if you buy every -j thing o: ce. I It doesn't matter much wh; t the I i : . if ii . .:..i . ii i . . saiary is n me gin is an rigiu and will ing to be can fill and economizing and make her simple little home a palace of happiness, with her neat ways and her cheery, heartening smile. And O, isn't life good when you're young and love each other and you can live in and enjoy your little home. Don't" wish to be wealthy happi ness is'nt bought with money. It must be purchased with sympathy, tenderness, forbearance and jollity.

WASHINGTON D. C. Anril 97 Theodore Roosevelt for the United States senate rh successor to Chauncey Depew. This is the way the political prophets and wiseacres in Wnuhinfrtnn ' ' 'tilUi have the situation in New York stato hgured out today. They arrive at this conclusion from niany different viewpoint, but there is apparently a consensus of opinion that this suggestion offers a solution to a multitude of uroblenis rnnf Mint ing the republican party, not only in the Fnipire state but the nntinn at large. In the general discussion of the sit uation growing out of the appointment of Governor Hughes to the supreme court bench, it already has been airrecd that his retirement from leaves Colonel Roosevelt hn it uroli. able dictator of the party in New York state. The party leaders in Washington realize and they believe Mr. Roose velt will come to realize the same thinir that the exigencies in New York de mand a strong factor in the race this fall if the republicans are to gain suc cess at the polls. With Roosevelt as candiilatn for the senate, it is predicted that the re publican party would easily retain control of the legislature and that the Roosevelt personality in the campaign would bring success to the entire state llCKCt. Farewells lor Rev. Mr. Moore. A farewell reception was given Rev. Luther Moore last evening by the members of the Christian church, from which he has recently resigned as pastor. The party was held at the residence of William Rentier and was largely attended by the minister's many admirers in the church whom he so capably served during his work in the city. Light refreshments were served and it was with sincere feeling that the many church goers bade the pastor and Ids wife and daughter Laura farewell and wished them suc cess at their new home. The family will leave on the midnight train Friday for Columbus, Kansas where Mr. Moore has accepted a church. On Tuesday evening, the members of Mr. Moc re's bible class "The loyal sons" held a farewell reception for him at the residence of "Dick" Osborn and toward the clcse of the meeting kindly remembered him , with a beautiful seal ring as a slight token of their esteem toward the pleasant gentleman. The minister hrs been n the city for nearly two years having come here from a town in Missouri. During his shoit sen ice in the city be Las won many strong fii, mis and admirers by l loyal woik for the church and his removal from the ciiy is a cause of deep regret to the mem bers of the Christian church.

Former Resident Sick. Mrs. M. C. Hiatt received a tele gram fr in her sister Mrs. C. M. Hol mes of Ilavelock, reporting her con dition to be very low. Mrs. Holmes will be remembered by many of the old residents here for she livid in the city many years prior to her removal to Ilavelock where she has resided for some time. She has been in rather poor condition since last fall when she suffered a paralytic stroke from which she never really recovered. Her condition is now thought to be very serious and Mrs. Hiatt will prol ably leave for her bedside either to day or tomorrow.
