WALKING WOLF WRITES.
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

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

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

OBITUARY.
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.
The following fall she taught in the
Buck district. The next spring she
was selected as a teacher in the public
schools, finishing the term of 189J, and
was re-elected for the two succeeding
years. Maud was a member of the
Methodist church, having joined on
probation February 28. 1887, under the

Arrested In Illinois.
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.
I Sheriff Wheeler has gone to Gales-
j burg after the prisoner, and be will
l
be returned to Cass county, to answer
to the charge of horse stealing.

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
