to interview Hie Commissioners of
Sarpy count y in regard to the hridue
that spanned the Platte at Louisville,
and which was mostly carried away hy
the liih wafer and ice a few weeks
an, hut no arrangements were per
fected hy which Sarpy county will
lend any help in its reconstruction.
They refused point hiank to pay any
portion of the expense of replacing the
hridre, and now the commissioners of
Cass county will endeavor to tlnd some
lejral means of compelling the com
missioners of Sarpy county to do the
fair tliinj: in the matter. Every common-sense
person can at a glance see
that it is the duty of the people
over in Sarpy county to pay their
portion of the expense, hut jealousies
of the business men in one or two lit
tle towns in that little county, whose
influences are brought to liear in such
force as to prevent the Sarpy commis
sioners from dointf their duty, even if
they felt so disposed.
Remonstrance Filed.
A remonstrance has Irren tiled with
the county commissioners against issu
ing a saloon license to Otto Hecker at
Ceder (.'reek. The remonstrance was
presented by Frank Ingram, of Eiht
MileUrove, and the date for action
upon the matter has lieen set for next
Tuesday. C. S. Folk is the attorney
for the petitioner, and the same sort of
procedure is expected as in the I'nion
saloon cas. Spite work it is claimed
predominates to a jrreat extent.

One Yeur lias Passed.
One year has passed since the pres
ent publishers assumed charge of the
Journal, ami how sat isfactorily to its
pat puis it has been conducted dining
that period is for. them to say. We
have endeavored to give them a paer
in every way wort hy of their patronage,
and one that should have had the sup
port of every democrat in Cass county.
One year's labor has convinced us that
a democratic paer run ujhiii strictly.
business principles can be made a great
success, if the friends of the Journal
rally to its support as they should do.
We have no kick to register. We
have done as well, and perhaps a little
better than we expected for the first
year; but now, on entering upon the
second year, we are going to ask our
demneratic.frieiids to help us todo 1 let
ter thisvear. They can do so, if they
will, and at the same t ime not discom
mode themselves. We would like to
have every democrat in the county on
our list. You can help us do this. Then,
a train, you can throw legal notices and
job print inir into hands just as well as
not. All these go to help build up
a successful businessas well as a strong
newspaper. In the past year nearly
three hundred new names have been
enrolled on our subscription list, and
ere the tirst of January, l!H)4, rolls
around more than double that numlxr
can Im? added w ith your help. Will you
help us?
A Pitiable Case.
A complaint of insanity was tiled in
theottice of the district clerk on Fri
day last against Miss Srace larks,
living near Ashland but in Cass county.
Sheriff McIIride went after the un
fortunate lady Friday afternoon, and
she was brought here for examination,
the chief witnesses lie ing Messrs. W.
15. Baldwin. Asa Caldwell and J. M.
Keller. The examination occurred
Saturday morning, and a decision soon
rendered that she was a tit subject for
the asylum, to which place she was
conveyed Saturday afternoon. Miss
Parks is only sixteen years of lage, and
the supposition is that she is suffering
from some organic trouble. Jt is a
most pitiable case, and it istobe hoped
that under proper medical treatment
at the asylum she willfully recover her
mental faculties.
Changes His Hotel.
John (Jreeson, recently tiound over
to the district court for robbing his
mother-in-law, made such a vigorous
kick about the w ay lie w as being treat
ed in jail here, that Sheriff McHride,
being of the most accommodating dis
position, conveyed the gentleman of
dainty qualities" to Hie Omaha jail
last week to remain until court. This
is the tirst registered com plaint against
Sheriff MeHride, and the main thing
that flreeson complains of is not get
ting "good soap." lie will learn be
fore he is brought back to this city
that his treatment was most excellent
compared with some jails, and Mack
was perfectly willing for him to try
some other hotel de jail.
Death of Mrs. Goodspeed.
Mrs. M. A. Coodspeed died at her
home in this city on Friday, May 1,
HN)3, aged thirty years. She leaves a
husband and two children, the young
est an infant only three weeks old.
She had been ill for some Aeeks. The
funeral was held at the family resi
dence Sunday afternoon, and inter
ment made in the Horning cemetery,
south of town.
Election of Officers.
At the meeting of the Woman's
club at the home of Mrs. II. J. Streight,
on Friday evening last, the following
otlicers were elected:
President Mrs. L. A. Moore.
Vice President Mrs. E. L. House..
Corresponding secretary Mrs. J. X.
Wise.
Treasurer Mrs. II. J. Streight.
Auditor-Mrs. T. H. P.ates.
Mrs. II. I. Travis was elected as
delegate and Mrs. il. F. S. Hurt on as
alternate tothe state federation meet
ing at Fremont.
Mrs. Stoutenborough, Mrs. Wise
and Mrs. Moore were selected as a
committee to look over the plans of
work for the ensuiug year.
Preliminiary arrangements were
made for a club porch party at Mrs.
Elson's but no date for same w as fixed.
A Wolf Story.
There is a story going the rounds in
the neighbor of (Vdar Creek, which
our informant thinks is too good to
keep. Five men, whose names are W.
J. Miller, Adam Stoehr, J. IL, W. II.
and (Jeorge. Lohnes were the chief ac
tors in this little tale. One morning,
not many moons since, J. C Iohnes
saw a wolf run into a den. He called
for help, as did the little Ijoy who was
herding sheep. They all came running
wit h spades and guns, but while J. Q.
Lohnes was calling for help the wolf
made tracks for scenes more congenial
for his wol fihip. When tin; party ar
rived at the den they started a system
of excavation at once. After digging
nearly three hours they became weary
ami look a rest. While resting, Nick,
the brave old dog, secured an entrance
to the supposed hiding place of Mr.
Wolf, and In-gan todigand grow 1. ''Sick
'em, Nick! Sick 'em. Nick!"came came
from the eager watchers. All guns
were shouldered, but Nick soon made
his appearance, and shook his head, as
much astosay, "No good, boys." Then
one of the party started to digging
again, and in a few moments succeded
in unearthing two little wee bits of
mice in the wolf den. Wouldn't that
freeze you? Then the spade landed
about ten yards from the den. One
said, "We didn't get the wolf, but we
saw him." Another said, "Wouldn't
have got anything for him, anyhow."
And the others why they simply
cursed a blue streak all the way home.
Another for the Insane Asylum.
A complaint of insanity was tiled
Monday against Philip Iiurke. of Ne
hawka, and Tuesday morning he was
adjudged insane by the authorties
after a thorough examination and on
Tuesday afternoon Sheriff MeHride
conveyed theyoung man to the asylum
at Lincoln. The step-father of the
young man, John Loherg, and John
Hronsen and John Lawrence appeared
as witnesses in the case. The young
man is only 17 years of age, and is said
to le suffering from a delusion that
someone is trying to poison him, and
at times became very vicious. A few
days previous to his arrest he made an
attack upon his step-father, and would
probably have done considerable in
jury, but for the timely arrival of as
sistance. "Soft-Soap" Him.
A Cass county prisoner has been
kicking on the quality of soap furn
ished to the jail by Sheriff Johnny Me
Hride. We suggest to Johnny that he
procure a barrel of the good old
fashioned soft-soap "like our grand
mothers used to make," and throw
this obstreperous prisoner into it. if
he gets out alive he will know soap
when he sees it and probably will be
content if his soap isn't scented with
violets and roses in the future. Ne
braska City Tribune.
Let's MaKe it Unanimous.
Jacob MeUinger, one of Cass county's
thoroughbred democrats and well-to-do
farmers, called Saturday and re
newed for another year. Mr. Meisinger
was accompanied by his son, Geo. P.
Meisinger, Jr., who had arrived at the
conclusion that he could not very well
enjoy life longer without the Journal.
Now, if there are any more Meisinger's
in the county that are not taking the
Journal we want them to come for
ward. "We desire to make it unani
mous. There are only thirty-two
Meisingers on the Journal list, and we
are unable to say how many sons-in-law
and brothers-in-law. We are proud
of the list just the same.
Body Found Near Cullom.
The body of Alfred Irwin, who was
drowned in the Flatte river several
weeks ago at Louisville was found one
mile west of Cullom on Saturday morn
ing by Matthew Dennson, a young
man sixteen years of age, and who
makes his home with W. II. Seybert.
The discovery was made about 9 o'clock
when the young man found the body
on the banks of the river. He im
mediately tied it to a tree and then
apprised some of the nearest residents
of what he had found,
Coroner Boeck was notified as soon
as possible, and he in turn notified
the parents of the drowned boy to
send some parties who could identify
the body, and two brothers arrived
about the same time that Mr. Boeck
did. and recognized the body as that
of their brother. In reply to Mr.
Boeck as to whether they would accept
the body without an inquest they
said they would, and immediately
conveyed the body to Louisville, where
it was buried the same afternoon.
ITnder all circumstances an inquest
was thought unnecessary by Coroner
Boeck,

The Great Trouble.
Eastern people who desire to invest
money in various enterprises are
drawn westward to Cass county by the
prosperous condition of the farmers
and the great advance in real estate.
But how is it when a capitalist comes
to IMattsinouth and desires to invest
money in a manufacturing establish
ment of some character? He visits
the city, but -fore be has made his
object known to some citizen of prom
inence a "town knocker" gets into
conversation with him, tells how pros
perous the city was years ago, but t hat
it is now "deader than a door-nail,"
that property has greatly declined in
price and that the town has gone to
thed 1 generally Two to one that
he goes off and never makes his visit
known to those who could and would
gladly tell him the exact, condition of
affairs. The truth of the matter is
that riattsniouth is in as nourishing
condition as any town of its size in the
west, but these strangers who desire
to come here don't know it, and never
will unless the people throw aside all
selfishness and come out in one har
monious body and work for the good
of the city. A knocker, who knocks
the hardest, is generally one w ho has
a few dollars and perhaps owns bis
own residence, has nothing to do but
stand around on the street corners and
tell what he knows about this busi
ness man and that merchant and
knock from sunup to sundown. lie is
no good to any community and many a
town has been ruined by his wagging
tongue. When he turns up his toesto
the daisies, the enterprising citizen
sighs with relief. lie is never missed
only by his w ife and children, and not
much by them, whom he stints in sup
plying them with the necessaries of
life, in order to ply liis avocation. This
is one thing that injures I'lattsmouth,
and if they could be caged for a few
years the enprising people those who
desire to see I'lattsmouth come to the
front as one of the important busi
ness points in the west would have
the satisfaction of viewing a different
state of affairs in an exceedingly short
space of time. There are some of these
knockers in I'lattsmouth that need to
be muzzled very badly.
A False Report.
Mr. A. S. Will, the big cattle man,
was in the city Saturday and called on
the Journal to have a false report, in
circulation, corrected. It seems that
Ed Porter, a cattle inspecterof Wray,
Colorado, got mixed up with a nest of
cattle thieves out in that country, and
their system of handling stolen stock
exposed. The facts in the case were
so plain and investigation pointed so
directly to this man I'orter that he
was arrested, convicted and sent to
the penitentiary. Mr. Will was re
lating the circumstances in the case
and when Ed Porter's name was men
tioned, some wondered if it could be
any of the Porters that formerly re
sided here. Mr. Will did not know in
regard to this, not being acquainted
with the former Cass county I'orters,
and so stated. Now, it seems that
some one had written to James Porter,
at Ilaigler, Nebraska, and conveyed
the word that Mr. Will meant him,
and no one regrets more than Mr.
Will that such an impression should
have been construed from his
remarks. James I'orter is a man of
irreproachable character, who has
friends living here, and Mr. Will asks
us to correct the report. Mr. Wills is
a gentleman, who would not wish to
do harm to any good citizen, and we
gladly refute the report that has gain
ed some circulation
Cut It Out.
One day last week one of these every
day street fakers applied to City Clerk
Soennichsen for a license to apply his
avocation, stating that it was simply
on the order of a cane rack. The
license was granted and the faker
opened up for business, but before he
had proceeded very far with his gamb
ling device, word came to Mr. Soen
nichsen what lie was doing, and he
was immediate!' closed up and took
his departure for a field more green
than I'lattsmouth. Mr. Soennichsen
is a splendid official and believes in
protecting the people as far as is in his
power, and will not issue a license to
anyone whose schemes are calculated
to "fleece" the people. These w ill all
be "cut out" as long as he lias any
thing to say.
A Sure Thing.
Jt is said that nothing is sure except
death and taxes, but that is not aN
together true, J)r. King's New dis
covery for Consumption is a sure cure

lung and throat troubles. Thousands

Crop Prospects.
The past week has been cold, with
an excess of precipitation. The daily
mean temperature has averaged 10
degrees below normal in western
counties and 13 !elow in eastern: heavy
frosts occurred in all parts of the
state on the 29th or .'ioth. The lowest
temperature generally occurred on the
2;th, and in the eastern counties
ranged from 19 to 29 degrees, while in
the northwestern counties the tem
perature was as low as 10 degress
The low temperature of the past
week completely reversed the fruit
prospects. The general opinion a few
days after the low temperature was
that the plums, apricots, early cherries,
early lapples, and peaches would be
nearly, if not quite, a failure. The
late cherries and late apples were not
so severely injured, as the trees were
not fully in bloom, and in the south
eastern counties it is variously esti
mated that from 25 per cent to some
what more than 40 per cent of a crop
of the late varieties may yet be obtain
ed. Strawberries were only slightly
damaged; blackberries and grapes ap
pear to have been less seriously dam
aired It is however, too early to
estimate the full injury to fruit.
An unusually severe storm passed
over the state on the 28th and 29th.
Ilain commenced late in the afternoon
of the 28th generally and turned to
sleet and snow in the night or on the
29th. Snow fell in all parts of the
state and generally was sufficient to
cover the ground to a depth of two or
more inches. The total amount of
water falling during the storm exceed
ed an inch In most southern and
eastern counties, and in some places
exceeded 3 inches.
The wet weather retarded all farm
work, but the moisture was needed by
grass and small irrain. Wheat was
not damaged by the storm or cold
weather, but has been greatly im
proved by the moisture. Oats have
been damaged slightly in many locali
ties" by the low temperatures, but
probably with seasonal le weather
will entirely recover. Early potatoes
were frozen in some places. No
progress was made with corn planting
during the week, and fears are now
entertained that much of the little
now planted will have to be replanted.
