Til U IIS DAY, J ULY 24, 1902.
Sr. Loiris is protesting against the
removal of the headquarters of the
Missouri IUver Commission from that
city to Sioux City, Iowa. The office
of the commission, they aver, has been
located in St. Louis since its creation.
Senator Dietrich is up a stump,
1 1 is own party friends are shunning
hi in. The Republican managers de
mand that he "go away off and sit
down," and not open his mouth dur
ing the campaign. Foor man! He
realizes to what extent he has got his
foot in it, and is now making a desper
ate effort to extract it.
While looking around for a candi
date for Congress, the Journal believes
that Cass county can produce a suit
able man for the place. We have
several good Democrats here inPlatts-
mouth who would make a good race
Why not get together Democrats and
tix upon some one, and boom him for
the place? Why not push Hon. II. D
Travis to the front?
Frank D. Eager, editor of the Ne
braska Independent, is being groomed
for Congress on the fusion ticket. Mr,
Eager is an able man and will make a
good race, if he can be induced by his
friends to make the fight. The Inde
pendent is the official organ of the
State for the Populist party, and Mr.
Eager has a large following, not only
in the First District, but throughout
the State.
The fusionists bave made up their
minds to carry Nebraska and when
election day rolls around you will find
that the voters of the "dear old party
of trusts and corporations" have come
to the conclusion that they can do a
little thinking for themselves. Cast
your vote for W. II. Thompson and
the entire fusion ticket and the rat
tling of old corporation bones will re
echo from one side of the state to the
other. Let every fusion voter in this
county cut from this paper the plat
form upon which he will make his
campaign and then get that of the
Republicans and you and your neigh
bor sit down and discuss them. It
will be easy for you to agree upon
which will be to the Interests of the
people, the taxpayer, the laoorer, and
the state In general, and which will
compel the corporations to pay a just
and equitable taxation. The election
of Hon. W. II. Thompson means that
every plank in the fusion platform
will be made to act In the Interests of
the taxpayers of this state.
Two lots of Carnegie six inch armor
plate have failed to meet the required
tests and, according to the .contract,
this is sufficient to reject the entire
lot. It remains to be seen whether
the Secretary of the Navy will have
the courage to reject a lot of plate
made by the Steel Trust.
Ok what use will a new "anti-trust
law prove to a republican admin
st rat ion? Under the existing law,
the attorney general might have
begun a criminal prosecution of the
promoters 01 tne Deer trust, out in
stead he brought a civil suit so as to
avoid hurting the friends of his party.
The Des Moines Register and Lead
er ( Republican) says: "Senator Die
trich of Nebraska, who opposed the
president's Cuban reciprocity plans,
and who was repudiated by his own
state convention, has offered his serv
ices to the state campaign committee,
and they have been rejected. This
may be carrying matters pretty far,
but it shows how Nebraska republi
cans feel. Incidentally, one may guess
from it how Senator Dietrich feels
also."
President Rooskvelt may have
made a virtue of a political necessity
in retiring General Jacob II. Smith
from active service; yet his decision
will be upheld by the American peo
ple. The oral order to "kill and
burn" which General Smith gave to
Waller was of a sort to suggest ex
cesses to subordinates. Despicable
and treacherous as . the enemy un
doubtedly were, honorable warfare
should have been used in subjugating
them. General Smith is a pleasant
Kentucky gentleman, and didn't
mean it, but his words were ill chosen.
People are continnally asking:
''What have the democrats to offer in
place of the republican policy in the
Philippines? The answer was ex
pressed frequently during the past
session of Congress. The democrats
would declare positively and un
equivocally that the United States
has no intention of governing the
Filipinos as an inferior race, and that,
as soon as the Filipinos have demon
strated their capacity for self-govern
ment, they shall be given their
liberty, precisely as was done In the
case of Cuba.

A Warning to OfflceseeRers.
Coryoon, Iowa, July 23. Captain
J. N. N. McClanahan, a prominent
politician of this county, and ex-grand
master of the Masonic order of Iowa,
will lose his right hand from the ef
fects of a handshake with a friend
whom he had not met for a number of
years. The meeting between the two
took place several - months . ago, and
the grip received by his friend was so
hard that several of the small bones
were broken and afterwards causing a
cancerous growth. He had been at a
Chicago hospital for several weeks ta
king treatment, and was advised by
the surgeons to have the member am
putated, which will be done today.
Death of Mrs. Krytinar.
Mrs. Caroline Krytinar, died at 2:150
o'clock this morning at the home of
her son-n-law, John Skomal, after an
illness dating from last Easter, of
cancer of the stomach. The deceased
was a widow and leaves four grown
children, all married. The funeral
will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, from the Bohemian Catholic
church.
Steal A Slot Machine.
Some miscreants pried the penny
chewing gum slot machine loose from
the front of Bach's grocery store on
lower Main street last night, and
carried it away. A glass was also
broken from the east door to the shed
in the rear of the store building, and
a brace removed, allowing the door to
be opened and an entrance made
Nothing was taken from the shed
however. The slot machine was
screwed to the building, and fastened
with a padlock. A pry was inserted
behind the box and the screws pulled
out. The gum and the pennies in the
box did uot amount to over a dollar,
though the machine was worth more.
No clue has been obtained but it is
thought to be the work of boyi.
They Evened Up.
The Nebraska City Daily Tribune
tells the following: "Out of the strife
and turmoil of the recent unpleasant
ness there comes a good thing in the
way of a joke. A man who ordinarily
is neither a baseball fanatic nor
church pillar, allowed his sympathies
to become aroused to such an extent
that he gave $." to the ball boys to help
fight the cases now on docket against
them, and those which may be brought
in the future. He did this slyly, well
knowing that he could not well afford
it, and he was particularly careful to
keep the news from his wife. Yester
day morning he learned through a
friend that his wife having a similarly
sympathetic disposition had donated a
like sum to those who embrace the
other side of the controversy, and feel
ing that the money could not easily be
spared had said nothing to him about
it. A board of arbitration was in ses
sion in that man's house last evening.
The board consisted of himself and wife
and after a full and free debate they
decided several things, namely: that
the family was out $10; that neither
the Argos nor the preachers had gain
ed anything; that a man should tell his
wife before he gives away any money;
that a wife should tell her husband be
fore she gives away any money; that
while it may be against the law to kill
preachers on Sunday and it is likewise
evident that the other side has erred,
none of Mr. Blank's earnings or Mrs.
Blank's saving's will be diverted to the
coffers of either of the contestants for
the dictatorship in Nebraska City.

FRECOal
SCEME OF CONFLICT
Getting Tol Jkmllior With the Wife
of His JU&ilant Said to be the
Causs. of tie Trouble.
According to a special to this morn
ing's State Journal from Fremont
the "Rev" E. D. Wilson is again in
trouble. Wilson is the "cullud"
rescuer, of souls, who nearly had his
head knocked off a few weeks ago, by
a club weilded by Uncle Ned Baker's
sweetheart, Mrs. Bundy, who alleged
that the preacher had made slanderous
remarks about her. She laid out a
tine of $."o and costs in jail. The
Fremont dispatch says:
"In a cutting affair that took place
here last evening, E. I. Wilson, a col
ored Baptist preacher of PJattsmouth,
Neb., was wounded by II. Adams, a
negro laborer who lives in this city.
The injury was inflicted with a pocket
knife. Wilson received a long gash in
the back of his neck, about half an
inch deep. The trouble between the
men is due to an alleged improper pro
posal made by Wilson to Adams' wife
nearly two weeks ago.
Wilson has made several stops in
Fremont during the past two months
and on two or three occasions lie called
at the Adams abode during the
absence of the head of the famiiy. On
one of these visits, as the woman re
lates, the preacher oHVred her an in
sult. She ordered him from the
house and told her husband of what
had passed between Wilson and her
self. Adams wanted to hunt Wilson
up and wreak vengeance upon him,
but his wife persuaded him not to
make any trouble. He vowed, how
ever, that if the preacher appeared at
his home he would settle with him.
Last evening Wilson passed Mr. and
Mrs. Adams as they were sitting in
the doorway,.and he raised his hat in
speaking to them. Adams jumped
up and ran at him saying:
"Don't you tip your hat to me, you
black brute." He followed this up
by seizing Wilson, drawing a knife
from his pocket and cutting a gash in
the preacher's neck. Wilson managed
to break loose and went to a phys'cian's
office, where the wonnd was dressed.
It was not a serious one, although it
bled freely, and Wilson was able to
attend a negro revival meeting during
the evening.
Adams has not been arrested, as
Wilson declined to swear out a war
rant against him on the ground that
it would interfere with his religious
work to do so. His visits here have
been for the purpose of collecting mon
ey for a church at Plattsmouth, of
which he is the pastor."

county which have notleen proved up.
Tills total of a half sect ion of the fin
est land in the county has been await
ing a decision of the courts for years
and was only recently decided as gov
ernment land and subject to home
stead entry. In the meantime those
who have squat ted on it and farmed it
the last thirty years have not had to
pay taxes, neither could they leave it
for fear of outsiders jumping their
claim.
The It. & M. railroad claimed t lie
land in question and contested the set -
ler's rights. As long as this suit was
pending the United States land office
officials refused the tender of money
by the interested parties, who wanted
to make final proof, and so the case
has dragged along for years, finally be
ing decided in favor of t lie homestead
ers.
This half section is but a few miles
from town and is now worth $K) to $70

How Could He Earn It?
M. Camille Flammarion, the well
known French writer on astronomy,
mentioned at the last meeting of the
French Astronomical society that the
Christian era has just completed its
first milliard of minutes. Between
January 1, of the year 1, and April 18
of the year 1!K)2, at :10 p. m.. he says,
just one thousand million minutes
have passed.
The statement suggests a realiza
tion of the meaning of a thousand
million in the abstract, and still more
of a thousand million in the concrete
form of money. Mr. John D. Rocke
feller's fortune, for instance, is gen
erally estimated at about two hundred
million dollars, or, say, a thousand
million fracs. We all recognize that
this is an enormous quantity, but the
trouble with most of us is that a sin
gle million seems almost as remote
from our possibilities as a thousand
million, so that the greater sum does
not differentiate itself sufficiently
from the smaller.
Let us see, then, what Mr. Rocke
feller's fortune of a thousand million
francs means. It means that if a man
had been working steadily day and
night from the birth of Christ to the
present time at the compensation of a
franc a minute his total earnings
would just now have reached the
amount of Mr. Rockefeller's pile. A
franc a minute is very handsome pay
It is $12 an hour, or $300 a day. A
man getting $300 every day, from the
beginning of the year 1 to the present
time, and consuming none of his earn
ings, would only just now have as
much as Mr. Rockefeller has. Or, put
ting it in another way, imagine a town
containing 300 working people, each
earning $7 a week. The total wages
earned by the people of this town, in
successive generations all the way
from the time of Christ to the present
day, would not exceed the amount
which one man has managed to put by
in the course of a single lifetime
Truly a thousand million is a great
sum. Baltimore News.
Fishers Return.
Ed. Barstow and wife, Chas. Forbes
and wife and II. J Streight and wife,
returned this morning from Lake In
dependence, and report all of the
Plattsmouth people as having a most
enjoyable time. The first few dajrs
they were there the weather was bad
but it cleared up in a short time, and
since then the sport has been simply
grand. Captain Bennet succeeded in
landing a ten-and-one-half pound
pickerel, and all the rest of the Platts
mouth people have been making rec
ord-breaking catches. The other
members of the party will probably
all be home by Sunday.
Here Too, Pete.
For some time past anonymous let
ters have been received by parties
all over the city. Of late it chanced
that several of the recipients got to
gether and compared notes and they
find that the handwriting is very sim
ilar and they agreed to refer the let
ters to the postoffice officials and let
them look the matter up, as some of
the letters are quite vile and unfit to
read. They have been received by
mothers, fathers and j-oung peopir ,
and they seem to come from some per
son whose feelings have been hurt
and they are jealous, or possessed of a
whole lot of pure cussedness. If the
matter is referred to the department
and the guilty party or parties un
earthed, they arc liable to get a term
in one of Uncle Sam's boarding house?.
There is one of these creatures in this
man's town, but it is hard to tell
whether it is a male or female. Up to
the present time the matter has been
kept veimum.Wsu pnosetbat ev-

One of our exchanges in describing
a swell wedding that took place in the
neighborhood of which it is published
and not to exceed a hundred miles of
Plattsmouth, goes into a spasm like
this: "The church was hushed in si
lence as the invited guests, realizing
the importance of the moment, await
ed anxiously the coming of the bride
The wedding march had just reached
its sweetest and softest tune when the
bride, leaning on the arm of her sister,
with fairy-like glides reached the
altar." "Fairv-hke glides" is good,
besides it's nice. As though some
brides trot, pace or canter up to the
alter, some single-foot, some dog trot.
and some go lumbering up the isle like
an ox. it's a heap nicer to get there
with fairy-like glides you bet.
