A Bird's Eye View of the Local Political Horizon. Wabash, Neb., July 15, 1901 Edit or Journal: I am very glad to comply with your request to write an article for the Journal. If it does not prove interesting reading matter I trust it may at least serve as "copy for the editor." It has been exceedingly quiet in this vicinity all the spring, but as the fall campaign approaches the ruffled sea of politics is beginning to rage, and can didates of both parties have begun their canvass. Enthusiasm seems to be returning with old-time vigor. The democrats in the west end expect a livel. convention and a friendly fight. They will go into the convention with their battle lines well drawn. They will ask for two things fusion and a strong ticket. It will be impossible to win without them. It is already certain that tbe repub lican county convention will oe a lively one, and judging from tbe list of candidates for the various places and the sore spots still unhealed, we may be equally sure that it will not be in every respect harmonious. In the classic language of Dave McCaig, republicans will "tight like turtles on the beach." Sandy Morrison, tbe sporty editor of AHagle, claims that he can get Wilkin son to forgive him for his fight on the the late republican representative last fall he, Morrison, can best snicker, and will win out In' tbe republican convention for register of deeds. Sandy is opposed to a third term man, and insists that the republican nomi nee, to win, must come from Eagle. The democrats in the west end would like to see John C. Brown, of Wabash, nominated for recorder. He is a bright young farmer, and would run to beat the hand should he be nominated. If the treasurership comes to the democrats Walter Failing of Green wood is the logical man to oppose Bar ton. A stronger man than Pailing would be hard to find. Walter is a popular fellow, and should he he the democratic candidate the fight for county treasurer will be fast and furi ous. Tbe west end delegations to the fu sion convention will be for Mc Bride of Plattsmouth for sheriff, while the re publicans will be split some favoring Sage of Plattsmouth and others New ion of Center. Tyson of Stove Creek thinks he has the republican nomination for county clerk in his vest pccket, but when Jim Robertson asks the republican conven tion that the county keep him two years longer Tyson's chances may be nipped in the bud, and Stove Creek again ignored. But the boys up there have their knives out, and swear that if the B. & M. runs the republican convention this year they will vote the fusion ticket, and stove Creek will be placed in tbe democratic column. Vhoever tbe republicans nominate, Joe Corley, of Weeping Water should be nominated by the democrats. The Ml 7A No one is really correctly dressed unless clothed in one of our Eclipse Shirts. With one of them on you feel that you have the -worth of your money. CALL AMD Mora till, the 503 Main Street, Whiskey Is cheapest in the end. Poor whiskey is not only disagree. able to the taste, but un doubtedly injurious to the stomach. A little pood whis man that can beat Corley will have to run like a scared wolf. The proprietor of the News figures out that the republican nomination for county superintendent is a knotty proposition, but that he is the only man in the county who can skin Smith. There will be others who will insist that Farley has had enough. In any event the tight for the nomination lor county superintendent m there- publican convention will be a bitter one. Dwyer, of Plattsmouth, and David McCaig, of Stove Creek, are mentioned by the f unionists for county judge. Either of these could put up a warm fight. Douglass may not have clear sailing in the convention, and tbe re publican nomination may be wrested from the present incumbent. Scott Hare, of Murdock, is strongly mentioned by the fusionists to fill the office now occupied by Zink. If Scott is nominated Turner will have to hustle. Mr. Editor, I cannot close this al ready long letter wi thout congratulat ing the fusionists of Cass county that tbe Journal has again donned its war paint and is after the enemies of de mocracy in Cass county. It is a ques tion that experience has demonstrated needs handling without gloves. When the weather gets a little cooler I may write you again. Yours very truly, Walking Wolf. Makes a Good Showing. Elsewhere in this issue appears a statement of the condition of The Livingston Loan and Building asso ciation, which shows the concern to be in a healthy and nourishing condi tion. During the twelve and one-half years of its existence the Livingston has made a record that is not excelled by any loan and building association in Nebraska. This excellent showing is due to the attention given and in terest taken in the affairs of the asso ciation by the board of directors, and more particularly to the painstaking and unceasing efforts of Henry 11. Gering, the secretary. Tbe books and accounts of loan and building associations in Nebraska are examined by the state banking hoard at intervals, the same as the state banks, and after a recent examination of the books of the Livingston by Mr. L. V. Haskell, state bank examiner, that gentleman addressed the follow ing letter to the board of directors: Plattsmouth. Neb.. July 6. 101. To the Board of Directors of tbe Livingston Loan and Building Association GentW-men: I have this day examined the books and assets of your association, and find them in first class condition. The financial soundness of your institution reflects great credit upon Un careful, systematic and conservative manage ment of its officers. I was especially pleased with the accurate and comprehensive book keeping of your secretary. He iias his work well in hand. L. V. Hakei.u State Bank Examiner.

Maud Mauzy. - The funeral services of Miss Maud Maury, who passed away Saturday, were conducted Sunday from the res idence of her parents, by Rev. Asa Sleeth of the Methodist church, ar sisted by Bev. Dr. Baird and Bev. Burgess Misses Swearingen, Street, Dr. Plimpton and Ralph White com posed the quartet that sang beautiful and appropriate hymns at intervals during the solemn and Impressive ser vices. In eloquent and touching language and with a voice broken by emotion, Rev. Sleeth spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing friends who had assem bled in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect and affection to tbe beautiful life brought so early to its close. He spoke of the example of pa tience in illness, the moral and intel lectual beauty, the inward grace look ing through outward environments, and the altogether lovely character of her who had been an ornament to so ciety and a sharer andlightenerof her mother's home cares. No sermon was needed. The silent form in the beau tiful flower-decked casket spoke more eloquent than human lips, and the words of the Master, "Be ye also ready," came home forcibly to all. Maud Elizabeth Mauzy was born in Virginia September 2, 1878. In 1882 the family removed to this city,where they have since resided. She attended the public schools, graduating in 1890.

Some time ago a stranger giving the name of Dr. Kt-b drove into Weeping Water, where he disposed of a team to Dave Woodward. Later on it was discovered that the team belonged to a liveryman at Nebraska City, from whom the genial doctor had hired it. Sheriff Wheeler was immediately in formed of the transaction, and has since been on the lookout for the doc tor, who also operates under tbe name of Dr. Cronlet. He was finally located at Galesburg, 111., where he was under arrest on another charge. TheoScers at Galesburg were notified that the doctor was wanted here as soon as they were done with him, and Sheriff Wheeler has since patiently waited for a summons from Illinois to call and tret his man. The sheriff at Gales- burcr is a relative of the doctor's, and later on sent word that he, the doctor, bad escaped. lie was troubled with some eye complaint, and was in a hos pital for treatment when his escape was effected, according to the report The citv marshal of Galesburg was made acquainted with the facts in the : case, ana has wirea me au murines ! here that the doctor is again under ! arrest there, and will be held until ' called for.

Returns From South Africa. W. E. ('. Becker, of Ashland, who accompanied a cargo of mules to South Africa, has just returned. The ani mals were consigned to the British. Mr. Becker left New Orleans April 15, on board the Monterey, with a cargo of 1,100 mules. The mules cost between $75 and tlOO each in the Uni ted States, but when they reached the South African ports they cost the British government an averegeof 400 each. Speaking of the war conditions Mr. Becker says: "I was surprised to find so much sympathy expressed for the boers. even among the British resi dents of the cape. The war is further from conclusion than most people im agine. "The British have more men in the field, but the boers have plenty of arms and ammunition and can keep the struggle up for years, which they will undoubtedly do. While I was on the cape a boer commando approached within 103 miles of New London, and there was considerable apprehension that it would reach the coast." Messrs. W. M. Stockham and E. L. Bates, of Weeping Water, were in town on Tuesday, and were callers at the Journal office. They report that the rain which visited some parts of the county Monday night did not reach them, and in consequence the corn was drying considerably.

Terrible Tragedy Near Glen wood. Glenw(od, Iowa, July IT. P'red Fourhelm, living twelve miles south west of Glenwood, murdered his wife and child last night and then shot himself after setting fire to the house. Tbey were tenants of John Beno, and lived on his farm on the Missouri bottom. A little lefore 10 o'clock last night Fourhelm's neighbors discov ered that his house was on fire, and hurried to the place. There they dis covered the wife and daughter had been killed by having their throats cut. One of their horses lay by the house with its throat cut, their wagon was pulled up against the house, the buggy on the porch, and the harness in the buggy. A bloody razor lay in the forks of a tree near by. Four- helm lay dead beside the house with a shotgun by his side. The building and its surroundings were in flames. Des perate efforts were made to rescue the bodies, but with small success, and when recovered they were charred be yond recognition. Mr. Morgan, the sheriff, and Mr. Bogart, his deputy, were at the scene by midnight, and took possession of the remains. An inquest will be held some time today. Many theories are advanced as to who committed the crime and the motive for doing it, but it is generally believed it was the work of Fourhelm. He was a man of quick and violent temper, and it is rumored that bis domestic relations were sometimes stormy. It is supposed that in a fit of passion he took his razor, later found in a tree, and murdered his wife and child. Then coming to a realiza tion of what be bad done he deter mined to end it all by taking his own life. Not wishing to leave anything for his wife's relatives, against whom he felt very bitter, he sought to de stroy all his property by killing bis horse, and placing his wagon, buggy and harness where it would be burned, he set fire to the house. He then went Inside and ended the tragedy by shoot ing himself. . Later their marriage certificate was found on the grindstone. It is sup posed that he left it there to prevent any scandal. General Crop Summary. The past week was hot and dry. The daily mean temperature averaged 1 1 degrees above normal. The rainfall was very light, no amount sufficient to aid crops was reported. The hot, dry weather was very unfavorable for all growing crops. Thrashing of winter wheat has made good progress and the yield is good and quality fine. Spring wheat and oats have ripened too rap idly in northern counties, and the yield will generally be reduced. Early planted corn is beginning to tassel in southern counties and has been consid erably damaged by the drought: later planted corn Is standing the drought well, but corn generally has deterior ated in condition during the past week. Corn is small and late and most of it has not tasseled, and with rain soon would recover largely from the effects of the dry weather. However, with the rain the crop would gener ally be much below the average. Ap ples and fruit generally have been in jured, and the hay crop will be less than expected earlier in the reason. Potatoes are a very pf or crop. W. J. O'Brien "Exonerated." As a result of the hearing of W. J. O'Brien, deputy fish commissioner, In the executive office Saturdav, the charges preferred against him were withdrawn and after giving the official a miniature temperance lecture, Gov ernor Savage told him to go to the state fish hatcheries at South Bend, take care of the property and Improve the fisheries. The contest during tbe day had been heated and vituperative in the extieme. Henry Ilempel of Havelock and Dr. I. D. Jones of South Bend were the chief complainants. The charges were the same as those pre ferred against O'Brien in 1890 when he resigned before trial. In the afternoon Dr. Jones, who had been fighting a losing battle, formally withdrew the charges, and Mr. O'Brien was exoner ated. Mr. Hemple was not so gener ous, however, and declared he still be lieved Mr. O'Brien guilty. Lincoln News. Trouble Over Opening Road.
