Criticism
It is very easy to criticise men and
leir work, but very hard to lie always
eady to have our doings submitted
to a critic. It very seldom happens
that the whole community agrees on
verdict, but then your work is
ertainly perfect. For instauce, Tri
or's American Klixir of Hitter Wine,
a preparation universally acknow-
dged as the most perfect remedy for
id diseases arising from impure or
npoverished blood. It contains no
i temicals, being composed of nature's
011 products grape wine and herbs.
Acting directly on the stomach it
reates a desire for food, makes the di
gestive organs able to assimilate the
f d and prepare fresh, rich and pure
b mid. Thus it strengthens and re-
ivenates the whole body, makes the
nerves steady, the muscles firm, the
nind clear, lieing very palatable it
an lie given to the most delicate per-
sons, it is certainly a great oiooa
purifier and tlesh builder, a' perfect
nerve and brain tonic. For sale at
Irug stores and at the manufacturer's,

A Great Detriment.
The recent change in the time of
several trains on the li. & M., it seems
s a great detriment to those who
reside in other sections of the county,
and have business at the county seat.
Not only this but it hurts the merch
ants and other business interests of
Piatismouth as well. Previous to tlds
change, parties residing in the extreme
corners of the county could leave home
n the morning, have several hours in
this city to transact their business and
.eturnhome the same night. Those
iroin Weeping Water are now com
pelled to either go to Union and re
tain over night, or do the same at
Louisville taking two days to make
the trip. Under these ciroumstances,
those people residing in other sections
of the county are not going to come to
t'lattsmouth only when called here on
extremely urgent business. The M.
and ll. & M. are not very friendly
to say the least, but both roads are In
luty bound to grant patrons
some little accomodations we
believe if the business men of this city
would put forth an effort this state
vii affairs could he remedied somewhat,
As it is, it is certainly a great detri
ment to the people as a whole.
Election of Officers.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Bank of Cass County, on
Tuesday evening, January 13, the fol
low ing officers were elected for the en
suing year:
President Charles C. Parmele.
Vice-president .. M. Patterson.
Cashier Thomas M Patterson.
Directors C. C. Tarmele, J. M. Pat
terson, Thos. M Patterson, T. E. Par
mele, Judge B. S. Ramsey and A. B.
Smith.
The usual dividend was declared,
and an increase of 10,000 on the capi
tal stock was declared upon, making
the capital stock proper $60,000.
Happily Wedded.
On Wednesday, January 21. 1903, at
the home of Rev. Father Ilennessy,
at the College Hill Catholic church,
occurred one of the most happy events
of the season. It was the marriage of
Mr. William Shehan and Miss Carrie
Carper, both of Mt. Pleasant precinct
Father Ilennessy performed the cere
mony in a very impressive and most
beautiful manner, which is bis usual
custom in uniting two such happy
hearts.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
James Carper, one of Cass county's
most "excellent citizens. She is one of
the popular young ladies in that sec
tion and has all the necessary qualities
to make a good and loving wife.
The groom is a young man who bears
the res. ?t and confidence of all who
know him. He is an industrious young
farmer, and well worthy of the prize
he has captured.
he happy couple will make their
home on the farm of the groom near
the bride's former home, where the
Journal hopes they will ever be happy
contented. They have many friends
who also wish them all the joy and
happiness possible as down the rugged
road of time they go band in band. -
Where Plattsmouth Gets Its Trade.
To a close observer during the week
or ten days previous to the holidays, it
has been fully demonstrated to the en
tire satisfaction of many that the mer
chants who did the advertising to
catch the rural trade are the ones w ho
reaped the benefits.
The farmers, and also the citizens of
the towns and villages of Cass county,
(those accessable) most of them came
here to purchase their supplies, while
those whose interests should lie identi
fied with interest of Plattsmouth, went
to Omaha. To prove this fact all one
had to do was to visit the stores In
the day time and the incoming of the
H:27 1 1 ain in the evening from Omaha.
The tiain would be tilled with Platts
mouth pi-ople, and all of tin in loaded
down with goods. Tiiis is wiong, but
how are the business men to prevent
this and help themselves?
Gmk1s cannot be bought any cheaper
in Omaha than they can here, can
they? We don't lielieve they can. It
is the big advertisement of depart ment
stores that takes them to Omaha, and
nothing more. These large establish
ments could not keep up were it not
for the trade they receive for miles and
miles in either direction of that city.
They get this trade by the constant
advertising of their wares.
What is the remedy for Plattsmouth
merchants? Now don't think that the
Journal is endeavoring to produce an
argument for its own special benefit,
for it is not. It is as much in the in
terests of Plattsmouth merchants as It
is in our own, and if anything, a great
deal more so. By constant advertising,
keeping your business and the quality
of goods you carry in stock, and the
bargains you are offering prominently
before the people, (the same as the
department stores in Omaha do) give
them to understand that for the same
quality of goods you can sell just as
cheap as any retail mercantile house
in Omaha, besides saving the customer
the amount of railroad transportation
to and from the metropolis. You can
at least secure one-third more trade
that ought by rights be yours in Cass
county alone. If constant advertising
brings such results to the large depart
ment houses in Omaha, it will certain
ly result in good to Plattsmouth mer
chants. Now look at this proposition in any
light you see fit, but the Journal will
guarantee that with the proper effort
in this direction you w ill have the sat
isfaction of know ing that you gave our
suggestion a trial asa caterer to wants
of the farmers instead of using your
entire efforts to secure city business.
We have to have the farmer trade, and
the merchant who solicits it by offer
ing them bargains is the one to come
out at the close of 1903, with the bulk
of the business. Try it awhile and see.
The Journal goes to many homes in
Cass county, and the 1200 copies issued
each week, and read by tive times that
many people, including the families,
and also those who are too confounded
stingy to pay fora copy for themselves,
but slip around and borrow from their
more energetic and liberal neighbor,
offers the opportunity to give the prop
osition a fair trial.
A Grand Success.
The T. J. Sokol society gave Its
annual masquerade ball at their hall
last Saturday night. The attendance
was much larger than on any previous
occasion of this kind. There were
quite a number from adjoining towns
and adjacent country present, among
whom were several of the soldier boys
from Fort Crook. While this society
is noted for its many pleasant enter
tainments of this character, it is
stated by those who were present on
this occasion that this truly eclipsed
all previous balls given by this society
and was one of the most successful
events ever given in Plattsmouth.
The society netted about $200.
In the gents contest, Mr. Svehla won
first prize; Claude Seivers, second, and
Jimmie Bullin third. The ladies' con
test resulted in Miss B. Haines secur
ing first prize, Mrs. Svehla second,
and Miss Julia Skomol, third.
The net proceeds of the entertain
ment will almost clear the indebted
ness of the society. They w ill make
other improvements in the early
spring, including a park to be known
as the x J. sokoi paric.
Is It Spite Work?
Mayor Ambler, the pious, moral and
temperate mayor or weeping water
is determined to make an exception of
a town out or that place and to thu
end his first victim is Dr. Hans Jensen,
a druggist of that place. Dr. Jensen
was brought here Saturday on a
charge of selling liquor with out a
license. He had no trouble to furnish
a bond in the sura of $500. The Jour
nal did not learn who filed the charges
or who the witnesses are, but we
would not be afraid to bet a coonskin.
and skin it ourself, that when the
trial comes ofl the main witness will
be some fellow who begged for th
spirits, and was almost willing to get
upon a stack or bibles as high as the
court house and swear tnat he wanted
it "purely for medical purposes." Dr
Jensen has the appearance of a gentle
man and it looks like he has been Im
posed upon by some one. The Jour
nal is not a defender of the illegal sale
of liquors, but we believe when th
DroDer time comes it will be clearly
shown that there is a little spite work
at the bottom or the whole business,
A man who will purchase liquor undei
the circumstances, and then betray
the confidence of the druggist, shoo if4
suffer equal punishment with the one
who sold the liquors.
Had a Pleasant Visit.
Our old true, tried and reliable
democrat ic friend, Mr. Conrad Schlater
gave the Journal a call Monday after
noon, he and Mrs. Schlater having
that morning arrived home from a
three weeks visit with friends and
relatives In Wabash, College Hill (his
old home) Louisville and vicinities
thereof. During their absence Mr.
Schlater met many of his former old
neighbors and friends, some of whom
were down with rheumatism, caused
from incessent hard laboreudured dur
ing the settling up and improving the
country. Many of whoai are pioneers
of Cass county, coming here in its in
fancy. In talking over his trip he
mentioned but few, among whom weie
Mr. Frederick Stohlman, who is con
fined to his room with lung trouble,
and when Mr. Schlater left there
seemed to be but little hope entertain
ed for his ultimate recovery. Mr.
Stohlman is one of the best citizens of
that community, and his friends only
hope that he will live to enjoy this
life many more years. He also called
upon Mr. Henry Lehnhoff, another
old settler, who he found suffering
from the grippe and lumbago, but not
dangerously afflicted. Mr. Krecklow
is another whom he found quite ill
with a complication of ailments, but in
a fair way of recovery. On his visit to
Mr. Herman Schliefert he found that
gentleman suffering from inflmatory
rheumatism, who has been very low,
but is much better and recovery hope
ful. In the towns he found the eleva
tors filled with grain and no cars to
haul it off, consequently no market is
offered the farmer for his corn. This
makes business in mercantile pursuits
almost at a stand-still, and the mer
chants are very much worked up over
the failure of the M. P. to furnish cars
when they are satisfied they couid do
if they felt so disposed. Mr. and
Mrs Schlater return home from their
visit very much refreshed and report
a most pleasant time during their ab
sence. Mr. Schlater also stated that
he never heard of so many weddings
in one section of the country as is to
take place in the near future in the
vicinities of where he has spent the
last three weeks. He reports about
twenty young couples who are making
arrangements to join hands and hearts
to pave the way for superceding the
their parents in the cares of the farm
business.
A Justified Kick.
The railroad accommodations (if
such they may be called) never did
give this and the west part of the
county anything like a reasonable
chance for getting to and from the
county seat, and a recent change in
the B. & M. time card has made the
matter worse. Heretofore people
could go on the switch train in the
morning at 8:30 and connect with the
Auburn train at Weeping Water and
from there to Louisville in time to
catch the B. & M. train for Platts
mouth, but the change takes the B. &
M train out of Louisville ten minutes
before the Missouri Pacific arrives
there.
This leaves it in about as bad shape
as it can be. Here we must get out
for a 4:43 morning train or goon the
5:03 evening train and reach the
county seat too late for transaction of
b isiness. It is much worse for the
western part of the county, and a
vigorous kick is being made for bet ter
accommodations for the people who
have to go to the county seat, and we
think Plattsmouth newspapers, busi
ness men and citizens could well at
ford to lend a hand in making a 'null"
for the relief of the long suffering
humanity of the south and west part
of Cass county. Union Ledger.

Dear Sir:
Perhaps you did not buy the suit of us, but the pants
look worn anyway.
Well we have accumulated a larp;e number of "odd
pants" by selling coats and vests from suits. Now we tie
sire to reduce our stock in this line and have made a bar
gain counter of them and marked them at the low prices:
$1.65 and $2.45!
Now this means that you can buy any pair of "odd
pants in our stock at one of these prices. Of course we have
cheaper pants at SI. 25, and SI. 50, but the other prices are
for pants out of S10.00 to S18.00 suits. If we happen to
have your size, you can get the cheapest pants you ever
owned.
We will continue the discount on our boys and chil
dren suits through January 1903.
Thanking you for your past patronage and wishing
you a "Happy and prosperous New Year."
I am Yours Truly,
FRANK J. MORGAN.
Couldn't Stund the Pressure.
A solicitor for an Iowa installment
house endeavored to ply his vocation
in this city Saturday. lie was hailed
by Chief Ilyers, and told what the con
sequences would be if he went to sell
ing goods without paying $10.00 occu
pation tax. Ten dollars seemed to
make too large a hole in his pocketbook
and he left the city for other pastures
more green. The occupation tax is
right, if it is strictly adhered too, even
if only to keep out such fellows as sell
rugs, &c. on the installment plan,
which is a fraud on the face of it.
