Angles." bv Miss Kdna Marshall, and
also, a duet "Angelas" y Miss Mar

GERMAN PKKSHYTKKIAN CHURCH.
At the (iorman Presbyterian church
Easter services were observed In a
most fitting manner by church con
firmation, reception of members and
the celebration of holy communion
took place at the morning service, and
an elegant program was rendered by
the Sunday school in the evening.
METHODIST CHURCH.
A most elaborate and appropriate
program prepared for the occasion, was
grandly rendered by the scholars of the
Sunday school, and in every instance
the boys and girls performed their
parts in a most creditable manner
The church was most tastefully decor
ated with palms, ferns and lillies,
which made a most beautiful contrast
with the smiles of the children. Eas
ter services are generally looked for
ward to with considerable interest by
most Sunday school children, and it is
needless to say that on this occasion
the parts taken by them added great
ly to the interest of the services. At
the evening services. Miss Clara Street

No Bridge Taxes.
The derision of Judge Jessen last
week would indicate that Cass county
will get no taxes from the 11. & M
railroad bridge, and that the assessor
had no right to assess the property
The temoorv injunction issued some
time ago the Judge declares perpetual,
and the county treasurer is restrained
from or attempting to collect taxes on
that structure, and claims that taxes
can only be taxed by the state hoard
of equalization, and that in accord
ance with the meaning of section 39,
chapter 77, of the compiled statutes or
Nebraska, It was a part of the road
bed and right of way superstructure.
and was not subject to assessment by
the assessor of Plattsmouth precinct,
and that all such action by that official
are void and constitute no lien against
the property.
A Love Affair.
The last issue of the Union Ledger
contained a snlendid write-up of the
suicide committed in that village two
weeks ago, and also a half-tone picture
of the man who took his own life. The
likeness was recognized at once by
those who saw both the man while in
tills city and the picture as one who
spent several days here. Mr. Lte Ap-
Dleirate. living near Union, was here
Monday evening, and from him the
'
Journal learns that the home of the
unfortune young man has been discov- i
ered at some point in Iowa. And that
two weeks previous to taking his life
he sold out his barber shop and left
the town with $.35,00 and two good
suits of clothes. A gentleman friend
of the young man's parents arrived in
Union a few days ago and recognized
the picture as it appeared in the Ledg
er and also the clothing that had been
worn by him. The name of the gen
tleman was not learned, but he related
the sequel to the suicide. It seems
the young man desired to marry a
young lady of the town, to whom his
parents most seriously objected. The
visitor took the clothes home with him
and also paid the expenses for the bur
rial of the young man.
Change About.
In the last village elections there
seems to he a square turn around in
the results. Louisville, which has for
twenty years had saloons, will how, so
far as saloons are concerned, go dry af
ter the first of May. Weeping Water
elect two wet councilmen, which
makes the council favorable for saloons
by two majority. This result was un
looked for no doubt, by many of those
who are opposed to saloons, but such
is the case nevertheless, and we be
lieve Weeping Water will be greatly
benefitted thereby.
The Murray State Bank.
Chas. S. Stone, cashier of the above-
named bank, was in the city Thursday
night of last week, and made the Jour
al a pleasant call. On Tuesday, April
7, the annual meeting of the stock
holders was heM, and the follow officers
were re-elected: J. M. Stone, presi
dent; C. C. Parmele, vice president,
and Chas. S. Stone, cashier. This in
stitution has enjoyed a very prosperous
year, declaring a ten percent dividend,
and also carried somewhat more than
this amount to the surplus fund. A
great deal of this prosperity is no doubt
due to the efficient management of the
genial cashier, who has proved him
self a most competent and faithful
official.
One Year in the Pen.
Oscar Eledge, who was found guilty
of larceny by a jury in the district
court was sentenced last Thursday by
Judge Jessen to one year in the peni
tentiory. The time he has served
in the jajl here is to be deducted from
the one year's sentence making a little
over nine months he will have to serve.
A motion for a new trial was overruled
Young Eledge was convicted for rob.

A Story With a Moral.
A good story is going the rounds of
the press just now and we give it for
the lesson that apparently is embodied
in it: A farmer residing in a nearby
county marked a dollar with a deep x
and spent it at his home store for
merchandise. Shortly after, he re
ceived the dollar among others for a
load of grain from the local grain deal
er. Again he paid out the marked
coin, this time at another store, and
again did he receive it in exchange for
produce. To shorten the story, the
money was paid out and returned to
him, through the channels of trade,
six times in one year. One day, and
it was an evil day. too, he sent to a
mail order house in Chicago for a pair
of gum boots, that he could have
bought at home for less money, quality
considered, and the marked dollar paid
for part of them. He hasn't seen that
dollar since. As long as the dollar was
spent at home it was ever performing
its mission and enriching the parties
through whose hands it passed. But
when spent in Chicago for third rate
goods at second rate prices the enor
mous profit never again passes to the
west, but enriches a class whose sole
interst is in the dollars that we spend
A Cass County Lady Interested.
An important suit is pending in
Oklahoma in which Miss Florence
Lindley, a former school teacher in
Cass county , is an interested party.
Several years ago Miss Lindley arrived
at the conclusion that there were great
possibilities in the Indian territory.
She saved a portion of her salarv and
bought .seventy-two lots in the little
town of Sapula paying the Indian
owner a trifle less than 84 dollars for
each lot. The Indian in the course of
time regretted having made the sale,
and when the courthouse and the real
estate records were burned not long
ago he brought suit, claiming that the
young woman had not paid him for the
lots. After he had testified under
oath that the land had never Iron
paid for Miss Lindley produced the
receipt for the full amount, which she
had preserved. The Indian is now
being tried on the charge of perjury.

To Cure a Cold in One Bay
A Reasonable Suggestion.
No town can expect to continue a bus
iness center as long as the majority of
its business men rely upon a few mer
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town. Too often the men in
the clothing and dry goods trade are
about the only ones to reach out after
custom. Other merchants wait until
these enterprising men induce the
people to come to town and content
themselves with the trade that natur
ally drifts to their places. A public
spirited man should ask himself if he
is doing his part to attract the people
to town to trade. He may be holding
his trade well and even by fair dealings
and popular ways getting his full share
of the trade that naturally belongs t
the place, but he is not doing his pat
as a member of the business communi
ty if he is not helping to extend the
business of the town. Any merchant
wh induces people to come here to
trade is helping the entire business
community, and it is not a success un

trade as far as possible and trying to

A merchant that expects to reap ben
efits through the enterprise and ener
gies of his more successful competitors
is not worthy of the trade of those who
have the interests of the town at heart.

Welcome, Beautiful Miss Spring.
This is the season of poetry, as sung

the inspiration that comes with the

If you'll forget business for just an
hour and look at the beauties of bird

glad that you are living.

Last week the Journal mentioned
the death of Oliver Ward, one of the
oldest and best known men In Cass
county. Speaking of the death of Mr.
Ward, the Louisville Courier says:
"Oliver Ward, one of Cass county's
aged citizens, living four miles south
east of Louisville, passed away last
Sunday after several weeks of illness.
"Oliver Ward was lorn in Putman
county, Indiana, December 25, 1824.
Was married to Sarah A. Jenkins on
September 22, 1810. After three years
residence in Indiana he moved to Miss
ouri, from which state lie moved to
Iowa in 1855; then moving to Nebraska
in 1861, he made his home in Cass
county until his death, April 5, 1903.
