The democrate are going to be kept
qutitc busy squaring themselves with
themselves and others in this state
from now until after the next election
and will not have much time to de
vote to the troubles of their repub
lican friends.
Some paper down east wants to
know what we will do with Roosevelt
Teddy seems to be doing something
with himself and it may be he would
resent having "any ting done to him."
We would hate to be the one to ap
proach him on the subject.
Tobey and Hayward arc getting
their press agents broke into active
work and as a result the papers of
the district arc being requested to
print, free of charge, a whole lot of
stuff in the interests of the two candi
dates. And some of the boys are doing
ill
money into the publication for some
time in an effort to give the republi
cans of Cuss county a live republican
paper, borne of them appreciated
it and some did not. The last move
ment which was made by the owner
by the advice of the editor, Mr. Quinn.
ought to have been made long ago
We trust that now the paper will
thrive and prosper. The boys have
put in sonie hard work to make the
daily win and it is not their fault that
it did not. Here's success to the
Plattsinouth News-Herald and its
bunch of hardworking people who get
it before the people. Fairbury Gaz-zettc.
OUR FAST BUNCH
OF DIAMOND DOBBERS
Plattsmouth Has One af the Fast
est Teams In the State.
A special grand jury has been work
ing diligently for sonic tome to deter
mine whether "white slavery" existed
in that New. York or not and the re
port has been given out that the city
is not guilty. John I). Rockefeller,
Jr., was foreman of the jury and owing
to his financial prominence more than
ordinnry interest has attended the de
liberations and investigations of the
jury.
Leading into every little town in
Cass county, with the exception of
l'lattsmouth, are good graded roads
and that means that the other towns
arc willing to make a bid for the farmer
trade even if riattsmouth is too nig
gardly to do so. And the other towns
arc getting the trade. If the mer
chants of this city do not believe this
wo would suggest that they make a
trip over the county and see for them
selves.
Next Monday afternoon at 5iU0,
our time, ut Reno, Nevada, one J.
Jeffries and one J. Johnson will pro
ceed to change one mothers faces
for the paltry sum of $101,000 and m
the presence of the governor of the
state an a few others and less notables.
Thousands of dollars are being wagered
that the big smoke will not last more
than a limited number of rounds and
big odds are being wagered that Jef
fries will pull down the long end of the

A New loik paper says: It looks

a few years ago there was a newspaper
war with the result that the advertis

they do not pay the cost of composi

lad" we used to know well. He was
at one time an associate of the writer
on this paper and we always had good
reports to make of him. Then he
left us in our hmesomeness and
misery went away, dually getting
stranded or something at Fairbury
where ho was compelled to undertake
the work of putting new life and vigor
into the Gazette at that place. He
is succeeding all right, as we knew he
would, but at the same time has taken
unto himself airs and . has become
"cockey" if you know what that is.
Recently there appeared in this highly
moral, and at the same time, great
family newspaper, a little whisky edi
torial to which our friend seems to
take exceptions as instance what fol
lows from his pen:
It seems to be so easy for the
1 average editor to throw a few shots
at Lincoln on account of its dry
condition when occasionally some
fellow gets tanked up in that town.
The latest conies from the Platts
inouth News-Ilerald who took a
shot at the dry town because a
little child happened to get hold
of its dad's whisky bottle and
imbibed freely with the usual
result. Col. (juinn thinks it must
be easy to get the stuff in Lin

has its office next door to a jug
emporium. He can sit in his of

across the stmt on the opposite
corner and see another booze fac

and see another one. When he
goes to his meals he passes by two
more and when he goes to his
peaceful slumbers he takes them
right over anther jag maker. It
is not to be wondered that our old

matter as an easy proposition. "

Last Sunday's game fully demon
strated the all 'round ability of the
Red Sox when they defeated the crack
Lincoln Star team, who for but the
second time this year met their mas
ters. Our sporting editor was not on
the scene Sunday when the shut out
game was executed, having gone to
Omaha to see some professional (?)
ball, and he got his pie-recepticle
full. It was Omaha and Wichita
and the comedy of errors dished up
Sunday was enough to make Willie
Shakespeare's version read like a
card of thanks.
Omaha fans think a lot of Ta
Rourkes trained nurses, for they go
wild whenever their pets steal a base
or get to third and never whimper
when they fail to score, becauset herere
used to it we suppose. Of all the
dubs that ever booted a pig skin the
Omahaogs are the bell-cows. One
would judge from the stunt they put
on that they had received their train
ing at some ladies seminary, and as
Ade says, they couldn t put up a ball
were it handed to them on a silver tray
with water cress around it.
This may sound like spreading on
the mustard with a paddle, but the
Plattsinouth Red Sox can skin Rourkc s
aggregation as easily as a monk can
skin a banana, and we predict that
ere the end of the present season the
World-Herald will be asking for do
nations for the establishment of a home
for "also ran" ball players. Graham
plays the game all the time but he re
sembles a diamond m a dirty shirt when
they get together.
The game on the local grounds Sun
day should bring out a record break
er crowd. The Red Oak, Iowa, team
one of the fastest of that state, will he
here and they're will be something
doing worth your while.
The line up will be about the same
as Sunday, and from their performance
with the stars we see where the Red
Oak will have to travel some if she ex
pect to take our goat over the river.
Don't forget the big game on the
Fourth. The Lincoln Stars have ar
ranged to play the Sox on that date.
As the Sox have been the only team
which has not allowed them to score
this year they are naturally "laying
for us." It will be their playing to
regain lost laurels and the Sox playing
to show them their superiority, so
don't fail to be there.
Of course if you're a cheap mutt,
and prefer to do the tight-wad specialty
by walking around and planting your
self up on the hill where you can pinch
your two bits, the boys would just
as soon you stay at home with the
rest of the cattle, or go to the gate keep
er like a man and tell him your broke
no doubt he'll let you in free. Don't
climb the hill and get your eye full for
nothing. It takes money to run a ball
club and if your interested enough to
see the game sec it as you should.

It would be my aim to impress upon the
schools of the state the necessity of
giving a more thorough knowledge
of the common school branches
not only as a basis for further study
but more especially for the benefit
of the many whose education ends with
the completion of the common school
studies.

the present harmonious relation be

I would exalt in every possible way

To the People of Nebraska.
In response to an urgent demand
from educators and from other citi
zens throughout the state I have de
cided to present my name before the
Republican primaries for the state
superintendence
I desire to Bay that the efficiency
of the State Department of Education
is such that no oue can hope to improve
greatly upon it. Having been in close
touch with the work of the department
d iring the past twelve years, under
standing and approving of the leading
policies of the administrations of Jack
son, Fowler, McBrien and Bishop,
together with my knowledge of pul
lic school conditions in the state I feci
that I ought to be able if elected to
continue the growth and iimprtancc
of this department in its relation
to the common and higher schools of
the state. I regret that Superintendent
Bishop is not to remain to work out
more fully the excellent movements
started during his administration. It
would be my desire to maintain the
general policy of the present admin
istration with reference to the teaching
of agriculture and other industrial
work in the schools. I would earnestly
desire to lay special emphasis on the

Shop Accidents.
The first of the week was a busy
time for the Burlington shop doctor.
Although no very serious injury was
reported, his office was continually
isited by men with a mashed finger
or toe. On Monday, James Darrow,
a laborer, was loading draw bars,
when his right hand was pinched be
tween two of the bars, slightly bruis
ing one of the middle fingers. The
wound was serious enough to put him
off duty for a day or two. One the
same day, James Heed, a company
brakeman, had his right middle finger
flattened while making a coupling
at Ashland. He bound up the in
jured member and made the trip to
Plattsmouth, where he consulted the
company doctor,
Joseph Roucka was one of the most
painful hurt; he was wheeling in a load
of flues to the blacksmith shop when
the car jumped the track and started
to climb over hisfoot, making a severse
contusion on the big toe. He was able
to get to the doctor's office, where by
dressing tho member, the pain was
greatly relieved. Sandy Andrews, a
