of Motive Tower for the Burlington
lines west of the Missouri river. Mr.

the most pleasant a Hairs in the hist or

W. R. Webb's Furnral.
The funeral of Wm. K. Wel.h took
place from the M. K. church, and was
largely attended Friday af Lcrnoon.
The I. O. O. F. and th. I, M. L. A
weri both out ii. almost full memlcr
Khip. Many of the bridge workmen
with whom he was associated when
killed, also attended the funeral.
After the services at the M. K. church,
the large assembly followed the re
mains to their last resting place in
Oak Hill cemetery, expressing their
deep sympathy for the unfortunate
nvin, his wife and children, aged father
ami brothers and sisters The services
at the grave were conducted by the
J. O. O. F. The pall tearers were Chris
Christensen, John Kirkham, Will
Howland, J. K. Sanders, Chas. Weldy,
and John Campbell.
Mrs. Pickett Entertains.
Mrs. W. L. Pickett entertained the
Wood-be-good" club on Thursday
evening last. Those present were Mr.
and Mrs. (leorge E. Dovey; Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Herold; Mr. and Mrs. C.
O. I'armele; Mr. and Mrs. T. P.
Livingston; Mr. and Mrs. A. E. (lass:
Misses I Jar ha ra and Mia and Henry
tiering. The principal amusement
was cards and the prize won by Mrs
C C. I'armele, was an Indian basket.
Luncheon was served, and all in all, it
was a most pleasant gathering.
Good for Brower.
Her. Brower, past r of of the M. E.
church at Tarkio, Mo., is out with a
statement in which lie opposes all
kinds of church festivals,suppers, grab
lag schemes and other kinds of plans
adopted by church members to raise
money. ''When a man becomes thor
oughly converted," says Rev. llrower
in his statement, ''his pocket book be
comes converted as well and all church
debts will be paid willingly by the
members without the necessity of these
schemes, which are little less than act
ual gambling. They are decidedly
wrong, and I do not want the members
of my congregation to participate in
any manner with such follies. I will
refuse to accept money for my salary
raised in this manner. All debts of
my church must be paid willingly by
the members w ithout outside help un
less such help is contributed without
request." The statement of the min
ister has created somewhat of sensa
tion. How many preachers are there
in the land, do you suppose, that care
where the money comes from to pay
their salaries, so they get it? Now,
d tnjt all speak at once, please?
Applicable to Plattsmouth, Also.
During the past year two Columbus
merchants have folded their tents and
disappeared. It is noteworthy that
both these men were the same kind of
people that is to saj-, they both insist
ed it did not pay to advertise. One
was a furniture dealer. He claimed
that his low prices w as bound to bring
trade, and that money invested in ad
vertising was practically thrown aw ay.
The other was a dealer in notions,
gentlemen's furnishings and shoes.
He Insisted that the advertising signs
he painted with a blacking brush on
paper box lids was cheaper and more
effective than newspaper advertising.
. Perhaps these two merchants were
right, but the cold fact remains that
while they closed their doors for want
of trade, every merchant in Columbus
who did a reasonable amount of adver
tising had a good trade and made
money during the past year. Colum

as its standard-bearer for President in 1904. This paper is for Judge Parker because his
record in the past shows him to be favorable to good government, and not a government

Fine Cattle.
W. II. I lei I, the hustling stock man
of Eight Mile drove, was a business
caller at the Journal ortice Monday,
and in an interview with that gentle
man, we learned that he had recently
added twelve head of tine cattle to his
already large herd, and that a few
days previous to their coming in he
sold one of his tine cows to Jos. lilazek,
of Rruno, Nebraska. Mr. Heil reports
the stock business good . and that he is
constantly receiving injuries regard
ing his Red Polled cattle, which are
being recognized as the coming stock
of the country.
Still Raging.
The war that has been inaugurated
between the riattsmoiith and Nebras
ka telephone companies is stillon and
waging warmer every day. The Ne
braska company has been doing busi
ness in Cass county for twenty-five
years, and it seems, from all reports,
that company has never attempted to
do anything in the way of accomodat
ing the farmers until the Plattsmouth
company was organized live years ago, is
working, to the detriment of the Ne
braska company. One week ago last
Saturday, a meeting to harmonize the
farmers for one or the other companies
was held at Nehawka. and was quite
lirgely attended. Roth companies
were well represented, but no arrange
ment was perfected, and the meeting
adjourned to last Saturday. If is
raported that Nehawka was alive with
farmers to attend the meeting so hot
did the battle ranged, all eager to see
which come out victorious. At this
meeting the merits and demerits of
both telephone companies were dis
cussed, and finally it was proposed to
leave the matter of accepting one or
the other to a vote of those present.
The Plattsmouth company came out
with colors flyingand victory inscribed
upon their banner. An overwhelming
majority was favorable to the latter.
The next battle ground will be Mur
ray, and then to other points in the
county.
A Good Idea.
The Journal has printed quite a
large number of envelopes this week
wth return cards for farmers with the
R. F. I. number on. For instance
"Return in 5 days to W. A. Seybert,
R. F. D., No. 2. Plattsmouth, Neb."
The idea is a good one and there is not
a farmer in Cass county who can afford
to do without them at the low price
of M cents per hundred. It saves
considerable trouble, and their cost
is but little more than the naked en
velopes cost. Send us your order for
a hundred and try them.
Don't Use It.
I always was and I am t(day a lover
of good music, especially vocal, and I
hardly miss going to a good opera or
musical entertainment. Many years
ago I listened to Jenny Lind and Mad
ame Sontag's singing. Later on I
heard Christine Neilson and other
celebrated singers, and I cannot say too
much to their praise. When I compare
their singing with the present style
or fad of singing, I must say, I am dis
gusted. Occasionally I hear the sweet
voices of young ladies spoiled by the
use of the Tremulo in their singing.
If these young lady singers only knew
how ungodly their voices sound to the
ear of a musician of olden times they
would quit the new fad and go back to
the voice God has given them. The
old German saying is "Sing from the
breast, let your heart be with song,"
and speak your words plainly. When
you do this your singing will be sweet
and will be appreciated by those who
listen to you. The use of the Tremulo
should be done away with, and the
sooner the better. It is, to make the
best of it, asickly voice and not human,
and "why it should be encouraged by
music teachers is a mystery to me. I
was present at Innes' band concert
some months ago at the Opera House.
I heard the two Italian ladies sing
from some Opera. Both used the
Tremulo, thinking likely the new fad
of singing would please the people. To
me it was simply horrible, and if I had
had cotton handy I should have stuffed
the article in my ears so as not to hear
them. If the very best of, and cele
brated singers, such as Jenny Lind and
a host of others, do not use the Tremulo
in theirsinging, whyshould we indulge
in this unnatural fad? Nearly every
church organ has the Tremulo stop.
How many organists use the same dur
ing church service?
Joseph CooK
Joseph Cook, sr., was born in Ger
many J uly 12, 1821, and died at Mynard,
Cass county, Nebraska, February 15,
1903, aged 81 years, 7 months and 3
days. He came to Ohio, where he was
married. to Miss Mary Rhinefrank, to
which union was born seven sons and
five daughters. He came west to Ne
braska in 1856, after which he became
a member of the German Methodist
church, and remained so tohis demise.
His wife and one daughter preceded

Death Again Visits Them.
The gri m monster, Death, agai n v isit
ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Johnson
on Monday, February 23, and clasped
in his unyielding embrace Randal, their
four-year-old son. Less than two weeks
ago they were called upon to mourn the
death of one child, and it seems, in the
death of the second in so short a time,
the grief of the parents becomes almost
unbearable. Randal was first taken
down with measles, which finally de
veloped into pneumonia. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon from
the Sweden church, the services being
conducted by Rev. Swanson, of Ashland.
Death of a Former Citizen.
Word was received in this city Fri-
! day of the demise of Mrs. Abraham
j Towner, who died at Surprise, Butler
county, Neb., Wednesday, February
18th. The deceased was a former resi
dent of Rock Blnffs, this county, and
was formerly Miss Amanda Williams,
one of the pioneers of this section.
Jolly Good Time.
A large number was present at the
basket social given by the Y. L. G. C.
at the Bohemian hall Thursday night.
About 11 o'clock the baskets were sold,
Of course these baskets contained
eatables, and luncheon followed, with
coffee served by the club. Music was
furnished and a jolly good time was
the result of the occasion.

WE don't know whether to or not, but one thing sure those that do, have
some pretty good evidence up their sleeve this year, we have sold a
great many overcoats and suits since he went back to his hole, and are selling
them on so close a margin that most anyone can purchase if they are so inclined.
This is no idle talk, and is on the square. We would rather have the money

A Cold Bath.
Teter Williams, an old gentleman
who resides on the other side of the
Big Muddy, had rather a "chilly" as
well as thrilling experience Thursday
night of last week. He was coming
tu Plattsmouth for medical . aid for
some one of his family who" was ill,
and in crossing the river on the ice on
foot, hestepped into a hole from where
a boat had been dug out, and went in
nearly over his head. He scrambled
out and by the time he got back home
his clothing was frozen stiff and he
was a long time thawing out himself .
