issue of the Nebraska Farmer says:
The last year or two Mr. ;aelel has

both Poland Chinas and Duroc Jer

raises no other kind tiian good hogs

qualities there is always much in

that he cannot be outdone in raising
good pigs and plenty of them. There

red, and thirty black. In either sec

Log Rolling at Louisville.
Contrary to reports received in this
city last Friday, the Modern Woodmen
log-rolling was held at Louisville on
Saturday as scheduled. The rainy
weather of Friday caused word to be
sent here that the affair would be
postponed, and consequently all ar
rangements that had been made by
the local order and their friends to at
tend were declared off, and Platts
mouth was not represented very
largely. From L. J. Mayrield we learn
that everything was pulled off as
scheduled, and the usual good time
was had by all in attendance. The
balloon asconsion was most success
fully made. Mr. Mayrield said t hat
the crowd from Plattsmouth was sadly
missed, particularly the B. & M.band.
The crowd in attendance is estimated
at about two thousand.

McKin'ey Memorial Services.
Yesterday was a day of general
mourning among the people of Platts
mouth. All the business houses, stores,
offices, schools and shops w ere closed
all day and business and labor of every
kind was entirely suspended. A gen
eral air of sadness and quiet prevailed,
and the entire city joined in mourn
ing the death of the nation's chief ex
ecutive. After noon the bells were tolled for
an hour, while the people assembled
at the Parmele theatre, where appro
priate exercises were held. The audi
torium was beautifully decorated.
Messrs. Weidmann, Goosand Tartsch
doing the artistic work assisted by
the ladies of the Woman's Belief
Corps. A large crowd was present,
many not securing seats. On the stage
was seated the mayor and members of
the city council, the county officials,
the Women's Belief Corps, and mem-
lers of the G. A. B. The Knights
Templar in full uniform occupied the
front row of seats on the west side of
the hall.
J. W. Johnson presided, and the ex
ercises were opened by a piano selec
tion, a memorial march, by Hilt Wes
cott, followed by "America" by the
chorus and the audience rising. Prayer
was then offered by Kev. J. T. Baird.

ing and reciting in concert the Lord's
prayer.
The day was uncomfortably cold,
and the opera house was not heated,
which rendered it disagreeable, but
the large audience held their places
until the programme of exercises was
concluded.

Populist County Convention.
The populists held their county con
vention at Louisville last Saturday
afternoon, and placed a ticket in the
held. J he convention was called to
order by James Clark, chairman or th
county central committee, and W. D
Hill selected as presiding otticer and
YN. II. Wort man as secretary. The
temporary organization was made per
manent. and twenty-three delegates
selected to attend the state conven
tion at Lincoln. Iiesolutions were
passed sympathizing with Mrs. Mc-
Kinley in her recent bereavement, and
condemning the act of the murderer.
A resolution to the effect that the
convention neither nominate nor en
dorse any candidate already nomina
ted by the other parties caused a warm
discussion, L. G. Todd and others op
posing the resolution and James Clark
and A. M. Kussell favoring it. The
resolution was finally adopted, and the
convention pnceeded to nominate the
following ticket: Treasurer, John
Hollenbeck, of Murdock: clerk, Elmer
Bouse, of El 111 wood: sheriff. J. M.
Kiser, of Mynard; recorder, W. II.

ert J. Yass. of Plattsmouth: coroner,
Charles Powers, of Wabash: surveyor
E. G. Cooley.of Plattsmouth precinct:
superintendent of schools, no nomina
tion: commissioner, no nomination.
The county central committee was em
powered to fill vacancies on the ticket,
and it is generally believed that there
will be considerable doing in this line.

Large Crowd Goes to Omaha.
The parades in Omaha on Wednes
day drew a largt; crowd of people from
this city, and the number from here
who went up on that day is estimated
at over a thousand. The military na-
rade in the afternoon was somewhat
of a disappointment, and did not com
pare very favorably with the daylight
fraternal parade of last year It con
sisted of the first and second regiments
of the Nebraska national cuard. a
troop of cavalry and a battery, the
Omaha high school cadets, the Elks
lodge uniformed as Indians, and car
riages containing attractions from the
Midway.
In the evening the Ak-Sar-Ben pa
rade was given during the drizzling
rain, which somewhat dampened the
enthusiasm and enjoyment of thp
large crowd of spectators which lined
the sidewalks under a sea of umbrellas.
The floats were much on the same
order as heretofore, a new feature be
ing introduced in the way of lighting
the floats with hundreds of incandes
cent electric lights of different shades
and colors, which caused a very beau
tiful effect. The line of march fol
lowed the electric street rail w ay tracks
and the current for the lights was ob
tained from Cue overhead wire by a
trolley pole, the same as the street
cars.
A special train from here over the
B. & M. went up at G:0u o'clock, re
turning after the parade and arrived
here at 12:30 o'clock with a dozen car
loads of wet, cold and tired humanity.
Pension Has Been Restored.
Jonn Columbus lioone, the negro
barber who lived here until two years
ago, lias iiad his pension restored to $8
per month. About ten years ago John
applied for an increase of pension, but
instead of an increase received a de
crease of $2 per month. All this hap-
icned during a democratic adminis
tration, and John's republican blood
boiled with indignation. lie had no
use whatever for a democrat until
about two years ago, when the lays,
who were w itii the army in the Phil
ippines wrote back home and told how
they were killing the "niggers" over
there, when his love for the republi
can party was somewhat dimmed.

Brief Bits of Politics.
The republican central comi ttee met
at Louisville last Saturday and laid
out the work for the comingcampaign.
Poll books were distributed among the
precinct committeemen, and the can
didates were assessed to foot the bills.
The democrats have honored our
former citizen, Dr. M. L. Thomas, of
Eagle, by nominating him for coroner.
If we are to have any democrat sit on
our dead body we know of none we
would prefer to our old friend Dr.
Thomas. Union Ledger.
i
Louisville was the storm center of
county politics last Saturday, with the
populist county convention in session,
the meeting of the republican county
central committee, and most of the
democratic candidates in tow n during
the day.
Twenty out of twenty-four delegates
from Cass county to the democratic
state convention were in attendance
at the Lincoln convention.
The nomination of Frank Kchlater
for county clerk by the democratic
convention last week is gratifying to
his many friends in Louisville pre
cinct. Frank was born and reared in
this precinct, arid if for no other fact
than he is the son of our old-time
friend and neighbor, Conrad Schlater,
the Courier editor is glad to see him
recognized by his party Louisville
Courier.
The democrats and populists of Otoe
railed to agree on fusion, and both par
ties nominated full tickets. George
W. Tompkin was nominated by the
democrats for county judge by acclamation.
Bound Over for Burglary.
Leo May, a young man sixteen years
old, was brought to PJattsmouth on
Monday by Constable Spence of Louis
ville and lodged in jail. May is charged
with burglarizing the house of C. CJ.

sence of the family, and taking I1 in

of Henry Thierolf, well known in Cass

Lost His Mental Balance.
Charles L. Spencer isconlined in the
corridor of 1 he county jail, having d-vcloM-d
symptoms of insanity, and
the authorities decided to place him
in restraint, under guard to await fur
ther developments. His hallucination
is that some one Is pursuing him with
intent to do him lndily harm, and on
Tuesday afternoon hecalled on George
K. Houseworth and demanded that he
be given protection from a pursuing
mob. His derangement is supposed
to lie caused by an over indulgence in
drink, together with worry and dis
couragement, although he comes from
a family that lias developed several
cases of insanity, his brother Frank
and sister Mary having Income insane.
It is thought that a few days of quiet
and abstainanee from drink will result
in restoring his mental equalibrium.
He was violent Wednesday night, but
his condition was rcjiorted to l some
what improved yesterday.
