Plattsmouth will celebrate tin
Fourth in a rousing manner and you
are invited to come and bring the fam
ily with you. Plattsmouth wants
you here that day and as many other
days as possible.
The News-Herald subscription con
test is a humdinger and no mistake
and the first week shows a splendid
business done by the hustling con
tacts. That little red Maxwell is
sure going to make Bomone very hap-
py-
When it comes to reaching the
people with news the News-Herald
has them nil beat.fr It goes to more
homes in Cass county than docs any
other paper published. Advertisers
should make note of this fuct and
govern themselves acoordingly.
President Taft has affixed his sig
nature to the bill that makes states
of Arizona and New Mexico. Two
pens, a gold one and a quill, were used
in signing and these, together with the
blotter used to dry the ink were re
tained bu interested ones ns souvenirs.
Representative Norris is doing all
that iH possible for mortal man to
accomplish to keep his name before
the dear voters at home. The other
day he had another anti-Cannon spasm
and threatened to make a speech in
favor of ousting the speaker. He
didn't do it, but he accomplished his
object in getting a whole lot of Adver
tising, free of charge.
" The Jeffries-Johnson prize fight will
be pulled off at Heno, Nevada, not
withstanding the offer of $200,000
gate mojiey offered by the sports
of Bluef'elds, same state, The gov
ernor of Nevada has issued a statement
that there would be no interference
with the mill on the part'of the state
authorities, so now you may buy
your ticket for Heno and see the fight
instead of going to Sun Francisco. $
If the business men of Plattsmouth
want the trade of the farmers they
should ask for it through the columns
of the News-Herald otherwise the far
mers will take it for granted that they
are not wanted here and will take their
trade elsewhere. It is the enterpris
ing business man who extends an in
vitation to the outside people to come
and visit his store. I lave you extendi d
that invitation, Mr. Busiucssjnian.
Congressmen will nottake a trip
to Kurojwjnr to any of the summer
resorts this year. In the language
of many of them this will be a year of
explaining and it is going to take a
whole lo,, i,f it to convince the people
that their representatives at Wash-K-
ington have been doing their whole
duty during the present seewsion of
Congress. And by the way a lot of
the explaining will be sot much labor
lost.

A few years back, and not"sormany
years either, the farmers entertained
the idea that if they built a big bam
for their cattle and grain and a measly
house for themselves and families
th,cy were doing the correct thing,
but all that is changed now as a trip
through Cass county will prove.
The homes of the farmers in this county

be a credit to any city. And not only

The automobile scorcher got in his
deadly work at Omaha the other
day and killed and maimed a few.
The District attorney has threatened
to bring suit against the guilty indi
vidual for manslaughter, but probably
wont. Omaha, like many other cities
has a number of automobile fends who
think they own all the streets and all
that is necessary for them to do is to
toot their horns and then it is up to
the pedestrians or others to get of the
earth. If they don't move quickly

Governor Shallenberger refuses to
ouey tnc orders of William J) Bryan
to convene a special session of ),,,
state legislature, to submit the in
itiative and referendum amendment
to the constitution. Urvan stated
time ago that uidess the amendment
was submitted he would insist4that the
democratic party incorporate into
their platform a plank pledging countv
option. Will the Demos follow the
bidding oi Bryan or wilLthev Kt.nwlU.i

THE MAGIC OF TI1E UEST.
The reception to former President
Roosevelt has been pronounced the
most imposing demonstration of the
kind ever witnessed in historic New
York. It was a brilliant spectacle,
dramatic in every detail; staged against
a background of striking scenic effect.
From firsUo last it was dccj-Iaid with
human interest, abounding in feuiurra
that faeiinatc and captivate and allure.
I'roin the moment the rcturninc hem.
traveler was espied on thcAndroscog
gin by the thousands of waiting home
folks on'land until he bonrdi 'd the train
for the scquestofred quietude of Saga
more IIUI the ceremonies thrilled with
interest. . '.
Hut in it all one incident ntnml ,m
a'.)ovc all the r st. Wun these Rough
Khlers trom the plains of Texas,
Arizona, New Mexico and other
western ttatcs dashed bv ihiir r.ld
commander on their ponies the gla nor
reached its zenith. The dramatic
effect was enhanced because the colo
nel knew nothing of the cowboy's
presence until he beheld them columns
deep in their kaki uniforms, upturned
nats, just as lie knew them at San Juan
and then he rose in his carriage, for
got everything and everybody else,
seized hid silk tile and waved it i n the
air, calling his old comrades by mname.
And nobody knows the west and
tnese interesting fellows whofmade
up Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Rule
regiment will fail to be Btruek by the
power of this incident. These men,
whom the former president called
be names, were cowboys, laborers of
various kinds, but they camejout of
west and the brought with thtm
that mysterious powor ot fascination
on which the west holdj for the lover
of simple nature. It is a magic that
never loses its force and it is refresh
ing, invigorating, uid the example
of Theodore Roosevelt," ho undoubt
edly has profited so much by tl spell
it has cast overjhim, ought to be a
lesson to other men who do not know
it and will not recognize it. The old
west, we say, has passed on, and with
it its traditions, but there is one aspect
of the old west that will never n nn
so long as its prairies and plains last.
that will never grow old. lint bo
young and that is fthis indomitable
dashing spirit of do-or-die that brought
ineouorc Koosevelt from his scat
in that carriage to cheer the wild,
ycuing cowboys in staid lid New York
upon' his return from effete Europe
with the plaudits of royalty still urg
ing in his ears. Bee.

OLDEN TIME BEAUTIES.
Th Wonderful Devices Tliey Used to
Retain Their Charm.
' The beauties of the past evident

maketh a cheerful countenance."
for they depended very largely upon
artificial aid in the preservation of
the complexion.
The Empress I'oppaen kept 100
asses to supply her Lath of milk
and nlways retired with a mask or
poultice of bread and milk upon her
at night. Over this a bladder was
drawn to exclude the air. ,.
The eyebrows of the Roman
beauty were tipped with black to re
semble the "ox eyed Juno." They
were decorated with paints anil
sprinkled with perfumes and wore
a quantity of false hair or dyed of
their own. according to the "preva
lent style of the time.
The Greek lady had a retinue of
mnids who rubbed out the wrinkles
and shaded the face with red and
white paints, tinted her eyelids and
anointed the faee with white of
and goose grease to protect it
against the air and sun. They also

mous women we had idena of the

plexion.
lsabclle of Havaria had enormous
decoctions of chick weed poured into
ners; iueen hlizabeth bathed in
wine; Marv. queen of Scots, in milk,
Italian ladies in warm blood. Mme.
Tallien in crushed strawberries and
raspberries poured into water, the
Empress Josephine in milk nerfum-
ed with violets, and the beauties of
the eighteenth century used such
infusions as bouillon in which veal
had been cooked, rosewater and
honey and juice of barlev miied
with the yolk of an egg.
In the time of Catherine de? Me
dici and her famous daughter. Mar
guerite of Valois, the face was cov
ered at nicht with a fine linen cloth
dipped in milk into which slices of
lemon and orange, with sugar and
alum, had been laid or into a dis
tillation of snails and lemons, but
the beauties of the court of Charles
11. of England went further and
applied crude quicksilver to 'their
skin so that a new one might-come
in its place. The Duchess of New
castle especially recommended this.
Nearly all these fashions were da
rned from Italy, where the most
extravagant toilet arts were prac
ticed. Lucrezia Borgia is supposed
to have been a brunette, but she
dyed her hair any color she pleased.
When she went to Ferrara she made
her escort halt for days while she
applied her cosmetics, and she dyed
her hair five times during the jour
ney. ,
In the eighteenth century Lady
Coventry died from the effects of
rouge, as did many other women

William Hayward secretary of the
Republican national committee, was
among those who went down the bay
on the Androscoggin last Saturday to
greet Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Hay
ward came on partly to pay his re
spects to the colonel and at the same
time to try to get the latter to go
out tojNebraska in August for the con
ventions of the Union Veterans Re
publican clubs and the Epworth
League, and was dissappointed to
learn that President Roosevelt had
decided not to make any western ap
pointments before the John Brown
celebration in Kansas iu September.
mi i .
now about the insurgents out
in Nebraska! Mr. Hayward was asked
ed.
"I don't know that I believe in anv
Kino or adjectives or qualifying words
for republicans," was the reply. "I
have no apology to make for the re
i . . . . .. .
publican party either in Nebraska
or anywhere. But out there we pre
fer the term 'progressive' to 'insur
gent.'," "What is a progressives"
"One who takes advanced ground
in the first place on Roosevelt. policies;
who sticks unalterably to Mr. Roose
velt's main proposition that the most
powerful corporation u unde the same
obligation to obey the laws as the most
humble private citizen. That is,
after all, all that Roosevelt has said
and that is what Nebraska republi
cans believe in. u
"In our state," Mr. Hayward con
tinued, warning up to his theme,
"those men are known as progressives
who in the face of ridicule, of calumny
and threatened political annihilation
advocated and fought for the 2-cuit
passenger law, a law; providing for a
railroad commission," a measure for
terminal taxation, the pue food law
and the direct primary law.
"In the convention of 1J00, which
nominated for the governorship George
L. Sheldon and for the Uniitcd States
senate Norris Brown, were a good many
republicans who were very active in
their opposition to these men and those
measures I have mentioned, and as
the result of their opposition were
defeated. These have assumed to
themselves the title of insurgents or
progressives. The latter term has not
been very applicable tothem, the rea
son being that they never preigresstd
until the remainder of the patty had
got so far ahead of them that they had
to double quick to catch up. They now
pretend to be in the vanguard.
"That is the situation in Nebraska.
TheJ thinking republicans are progres
sive, not insurgents, in the sense of
revolting against President Taft or
the republican party. They? simply
follow the example of one Theodore
Roosevelt, who always did his in-
surgingwithin the reservation.
"I feel safe in saying, however
that w ith nine-tenths of the re publi
cans Nebraska the-re is a feeling
against the re-election of Speaker
Cannon, who is regarded as an ob
stacle to the growth of the republican
party. They know of no reason why
Cannon in his position should be held
sacred to the republican party by any
member of it.
"As for the tariff, the renunblicans
of Nebraska are not entirely satisfied
with the tariff bill; nor, on the other
hand, are they ready to condemn it
Sin its entirety. There are certain
schedules, such as that of wool, which
they believe should have been lowered.
Personally I believe in a tariff commis
sion to gatheT facts seientifie'aly and
accurately on which to base a future
reduction in such a way as to comply
e g ctly with the conditions of the Chi
cago platform, to cover the difference
in the cost of production at home and
abroad, and yet in such a way as to
do as little violence as possible to es
tablished business.

in other words, making the county the
unit of local ODtion. instead of the
municipality. The only bearing it
oould have on the congress situation
would be in regard to the federal law.
Personally I am in favor of a federal
law to prevent the shin.ment of liciuor
into dry territory under any cover or
shield such as the interstate commerce
law. Hut in my opinion every right
tanking person would be glad to see
the liquor question settled and free
from the machinations of poltiics. It
ought not to be determined by and un
der the conditions that surround
polotbs any more than is necessary.
"I think the republican party in
its principles and performances is so
far superior to anything the demo
cratic party has ever done that it will
hold together even though each in
dividual may not find in the party
platform or in the laws enacted what
he wants in every particular. As for

liuinH,;tlie
well known veterinarian,! who was so
painfully burned in a gasoline blaze
about two weeks ago at an Ogallala
printing house, lias returned to his
home in this city, on a visit to the
News-Herald oflice, where he was for
merly employed, an account of his
narrow escape was given. The acci
dent occurred early in the morning
when he started to light the potato
the typograph machine. The heat
used for the metal was supplied by
gasoline under heavy pressure. After
Uames had applied the match to the
generator, he noticed the dangerous
fluid was escaping from the valves be
tween the machine and the tank.
Quickly realizing that he was the only
one" in the shop and that if the fire
should ever get a start in the place,
it i,-would probably get the entire
block of frame structures,he attempted
to cover the valve with hia hand.
Before his hand was on the pipe,
the oil had ignited and he was envelop
ed in a sheet of flames which reached
to the ceiling. With his clothing
ablaze about the ncekt and (back,
he made his way to he door, unlocked
it, staggered from the room and soon
secured help.'f tf
A peculiar thing about the cop
flagration was that there was no ex
plosion and that the blaze died dow n
as soon as the gasoline was consumed.
In the supply tank was at least a half
gallon'of oil, but the air pressure forced
it all from the tank and prevented
the flames from entering. But little
damage was done1 to the building,
