THE OLD HZ
cGM
Absolutely: Puro
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
Drunkenness in Germany.
Lately, I noticed an article in the
Fvening News, no doubt copied from
some eastern paer not friendly to
wards the Ccrmans, stating that the
eople of Cermany were forming clubs
and societies to stop the excessive
drinking among the working classes.
The truth of the matter is the article
is a fraud and a fad. The working
class of Ccrinany do not need such so
cieties. They are abundantly able t
control their drinking, and need no
guardians. Yes, they drink they all
drink! They are used to it from child
hood. I'.ut drink, ami getting drunk,
isa different matter. The reason there
is not. so much drunkenness in Cer
many as in other countries is that
what they do drink- let it le lieer,
w ine or liquor is pure. It has to 1
pure, for the laws of that country are
very strict and severe against t he adul
teration of food or drink. The chief
drink of the Ccrmans is lieer or wine:
very lit tie whisk-y is used. In south
ern Cermany a great ileal of wine is
manufactured from vineyards on the
rivers Uhine and Mosel, and people
drink wine instead of water. Ceneral
! rant in his liook describing his travels
around the world says: "In my travels
through tlermany, I observed a great
ileal of drinking there and less drunk
enness than in any country I vis
ited." Fanners brew their own leer.
and while it does not compare with
city brewed lieer, it answers their pur
pose, being made of malt and hops. It
is a common sight to meet a govern
men inspector going into a plaee where
liquors of any kind are sold, demand a
sample of each barrel, which hcarAal
ises, and if any impurities are found in
the article, he confiscates the whole
outfit, and the ownersare severely pun
ished by tine an.I imprisonment.
Why We Do Not Stop Papers.
Some subscribers to a newspaper no
doubt often wonder why a publisher
keeps on sending a paper when the
time for which they have paid has ex
pired? Well here is the principal
reason, according to the Journal's
view of the matter: When a sub
scription is paid to a certain '.time
and the time expires and the paper is
stopped it looks as if the editor doubt
ed the integiity of the suljscriber and
in nine cases out of ten the subscriber
will give the publisher a calling down
for the insinuation that his credit is
not good. Kather than cast any re
tlection against a neighbor's honesty
to :pay a small debt it has become
customary for country newspapers to
continue sending the paper after the
time has expired. The city weeklies
and dailies do not generally follow
this rule as their subscribers are at a
distance, and Itesides they are not ac
quainted with them and do not not
know their financial standing. One
should deem it an honor to know that
his credit is not double.! when the
publisher continues to send the paper.
Should the suhscriUr desire to have
his paper discontinued he should in
form the publisher and remit to date,
if any amount is owing.
Vegetation Doing Well.
The past week has Ihmmi warm with
much cloudy weather and in eastern
counties an excess of rain. The daily
mean temperature averaged 4 degrees
almve the normal.
The rainfall of the past week has
exceeded the normal in southeastern
counties, where it ranged from lto3
inches; in northern and western coun
ties the rainfall was generally less than
half an inch.
The past week has been a good period
for the growth of vegetation: all
small grain and grass have grown
rapidly. Wheat continues to improve
and is in very promising condition.
Oats have alout recovered from the
effects rf the low temperature the last
of April. live is heading in southern
counties. Potatoes are up and grow
ing nicely. The wet condit ion of the
soil, with the continued cloudy
weather the first half of the week,
prevented farm work, especially in
the southern counties. During the
last half of the week corn planting
progressed somewhat, but this work is
much behind normal advancement at
this time of the year. In southern
counties the crop is about half planted,
while in some central and northern
counties it is less than one-third
planted.
Hears Much He Doesn't Print.
Editors are the llrst to hear gossip or
scandal, indiscretion of men and
women, things unfit for publication, in
trigues, clandestine meetings, ilirta
sions of married women, night rides,
young men and women who have gone
astray, rumors of married men, and in
fact all neighlorhood scandals. Edi
tors generally know all naughty doings
in a community, no matter how secret.
If one-half they knew was published,
there would le divorces, social
ost racism and ot her woes; there would
lie shot guns and gore, imprisonment,
lynching, desolate homes, shame,
humiliation and misery. The editor
also learns much of the hyprocrisy of
life, and it isa wonder he believes any
thing on earth or in the hereafter.
People who abuse him often owe their
standing in society to his forliearance
(Jrand Island Democrat.
In the past two weeks the atmos
phere that pervades Plattsmouth has
been blue with scandal, emanating
from the mouths of everybody in fact,
and if the old saying "where there is
so much smoke there must be some
lire," holds good there would seem to
be some truth in the rumor. He this
as it may, the press of this city have
perhaps used proper discretion in not
publishing the story that comes to
them from every quarter. The Jour
nal does not lielievc the publication
of such things results in any good to
the raising generation no matter how
guilty the parties may be, for it is the
children of patrons of a paper who are
the first as a general rule to read the
local paper when it enters the house.
The alMve from the (I rand Island
Democrat expresses more truth than
has leen published in a newspaper in
a long time. It is not the respect that
the newspapers have for guilty parties,
in many instances, but the pride felt
for the community in which these dast
ardly crimes are committed, that
keeps such stuff out of the paper
The average editor deserves more
credit than he usually receives for
keeping such matters out of print
The people as a general rule love scan

comes the more they like to talk almut

Blood and Force.
The history of the world is the his
tory of blood and force. Hodily
strength always played the first part
in the history and still keeps that
place; a powerful nation subdues the
weaker, a strong man wins over the
feeble. Without mercy the victors
march forward crushing the victims
with their feet. The world belongs
to the strong. So do not allow your
bodily or mental strength to diminish.
Use Triner's American Elixir of Hitter
Wine which will impart new vigor to
your muscles, new energy and endur
ance to your mind, new strength to
your nerves and new health to your
whole system. The blood will become
pure and rich, the complexion refined;
eruptions will disappear. This remedy
Is composed of pure grape wjne and of

A Miraculous Escape.
Jesse Hlunt, who was working on
the pontoon bridge Friday afternoon,
came very near meeting death. A
rope had been stretched from the pon
toon bridge to one of the temporary
piers under the railroad bridge, upon
which numerous workmen are encaged.
In company of an assistant Blunt had
moved over to the pier to unfasten
this rope, and while resting against
the pier, a block of wood fell, striking
him upon the head, rendering him un
conscious for some time. The block
fell a distance of about thirty feet, and
fell square upon his head. It is
believed that had the blunt end of the
block struck him, his death would
have been instant. Dr. Livingston
soon rendered medical aid which
brought the injured man around all
right. Hut to say the least, it was a
most miraculous escape.
Leg Fractured.
Bert, son of Herman Spies, met
with an accident last Friday afternoon
that will cause him to use crutches for
several weeks at least. It seems that
he was standing on the hub of one of
the wheels of Heisel's delivery wagon
talking to the driver, when the
horses suddenly started, which caused
him to lose his hold, and as he fell the
left foot caught in the wheel, fractur
ing the ankle very badly. The in
jury is a very painful one, but not
serious.

BEST RED POLLS IN NEBRASKA
Breeding Establishment at Cedar
Creek Well Worthy of Above Title.
After many years st udy of the Ued
Polls, W. II. Heil & Hro. have earned
the title of having the leading herd of
purebred registered Hed Polls in Ne
braska. When visiting his Pleasant
View Stock Farm and seeing the large
roomy boeeding matronsand the splen
did bulls heading his herd one can
readily see that labor and expense
have not been spared in obtainingsuch
sires and blood strains which make it
deserving of the mention as being the
foremost in the slate of the "dual
purpose" kind. Of the "dual pur
pose" breeds, the Hed Tolls are the
most distinctly dual in form and
function of all breeds, as they, more
than any other have leen kept from
swinging lirst to beef production, and
again to milk production. At the
head of the Messrs. Heil's great herd
are three sires of exceptional value,
namely: North Star "T4 2. One Price
8.122, and Iowa Davyson 72KS. North
Star;1744 isa low down, blocky type
and weighs 2000 pounds in breeding
condition and took tirst prize and
sweepstakes at state fair in 1900. His
sire, Ensign "MW, has never been
beat at any of the leading state fairs
and sold for $1000. We consider him
one of the best Hed Polled bulls in the
state. We give below a brief outline
of his pedigree:

(klii I Nanny was bred by V. T. Hills,
of Delaware. Ohio, one of the leading
breeders of America and who sold 92
head Oct. 28 and 29, 1902, at public
sale that averaged $28:j.:;o per head.
One Price 8.122 is a splendid indi
vidual as well as a great sire and we
believe he will make one of the largest
Hed Polled bulls in America. He is
but 2 years old, and in thin flesh and
weighs 1800 lbs. When in good flesh
he would easilv weigh 2000 lbs. His
pedigree lelow shows his breeding:

Iowa Davyson 7210 is a show bull
and when in breeding condition weighs
1800 pounds. His sire, Iowa Davyson
10th 3H9, was tho champion bull at
the World's Fair at Chicago, in 1893.
He is bred as follows: Iowa Davyson

Hufus 188. 3rd dam 2837 Gale V 10 by
Lord George 520 recorded to 8th dam
Grimace V 10.
The blood lines in the females of this
great herd are fully as strong as those
of the herd bulls, and as this herd is
so large a one, numbering around a
hundred head, it would be almost im
possible to mention in these columns
all those deserving special mention and
give an outline of their breeding. Both
Messrs, Heil's bulls and females when
represented at the State fairs have
always been able to carry off a large
number of ribbons. Anybody wanting
to see a lot of good cattle is invited to
visit the Messrs. Heil's herd. We es
pecially call old time breeders, begin
ners, or frimers' attention to this
great "Dual Purpose' herd if in need
now, or later on, of a good bull or some
females. They can buy them no bet
ter elsewhere nor at lower prices than
from Ileils' Pleasant View herd. The
Messrs. Heil is also able to supply buy
ers of car load lots, as he can sell bulls
and heifers that are of no kin. A few
exceptionally good ones of both sexes
are now offered in order to reduce his
herd.
Heil Bros, made the following sales
during the past week: One bull to D.
A. Stubbs, Raymond, Neb.: one bull
to Joseph I lazek, Bruns, Neb , and one

Death and Funeral Services of One of
Cass County's Estimable Ladies.
Died, Tuesday, May 12, 1903, at her
home, four and one-half miles north
west of Manley, Mrs. August Stander,
aged 34 years and 9 months.
"In the midst of life, is death."
)nce more the old sayi ng is exempl i tied;
once more we are brought face to face
with the awful mystery and sorrow of
Death this time under circumsumces
peculiarly sad and affecting. The
news of Mrs. Standcr's death, coming
as it did, without previous warning,
was a distinct sho'k to the entire com
munity. Stricken down in the very
prime of life, snatched from husband,
children and friends at a time when
long years of usefulness seemed stretch
ing out before her, the circumstances
are such as to arouse the deepest sym
pathy. Mrs. Stander was taken ill
last Tuesday, the day of her death,
shortly before noon. Medical aid was
hastily summoned, but before it could
reach her, the shocks of death were
gathering darkly around the sufferer's
pillow, she was fast sinking beyond the
reach of human skill or human sym
pathy. During the afternoon she ral
lied slightly, but it was only to sink
into deeper slumber; and at half-past
four time for her widened into eterni
ty, and she passed quietly away.
Funeral services were held at the
house at ten o'clock, Thursday, May
14th. Requiem high mass was cele
brated, after which an impre.-vsive and
touchingdiscour.se was given by Rev.
Father Hennessey, from the text:
"Think of your last end. and you shall
never sin." After the funeral services
the remains were borne to the College
Hill cemetery, where interment was
made The funeral was one of the
largest ever seen in this vicinity, and
testified the esteem in which deceased
was held. In the death of Mrs. Stand
ers the community has lost a god,
charitable woman, the husband a faith
ful wife and the children a tender, de
voted, self-sacrificing mother. She
left a husband and seven children, the
eldest eleven years old. the youngest
an infant of a few hours, to mourn a
Utss which is to them, above and be
yond, all other loss.
The deep, heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the be
reaved husband and motherless child
ren in this most severe and painful
affliction.

January 22, 181, she was married to

death, has ever since been her home.

Mr. II. V. Burbage, a student at law,
in Greenville, S. C, has been troubled
for four or five years with a continuous
cough which he says, "greatly alarmed
nie, causing me t fear that f was in
the lirst stage of consumption." Mr.

Served Them Right.
Mrs. Nettie Turner, of Union, who
teaches in a district southwest of that
village has been preparing for some
time to give an entertainment at the
close of the term. During the past
week at rehearsals she has leen con-siderablj-
annoyed by a crowd of young
men gathering around the school
house during this time, using profane
language, whooping, yelling and firing
revolvers. The lady got pretty tired
of such actions, and when kind words
ceased to have any effect upon their
rowdyism, she resorted toother means.
Three of the party, Len Crawford,
Bert Craw ford and Clint Leach were
arrested and taken before Justice La
Rue, of Union, and a fine of $".00 as
sessed against each ofithern. We glory
in the grit of such a teacher, and
this act should Ijc the means of learn
ing these boys a lesson, as well as
others who think it is smart to disturb
public gatherings.
Good Schools.

weeks has visited twenty-seven schools
of the county including those of Weep
ing "Water and Louisville. In his
rounds" he found but two that did not
in any way come up to the standard in
Cass county, and these schools were
under the charge of young ladies teach
ing -their lirst terms. He linds the
schoolsgenerally under control of the
best of instructors. Cass county has al
ways boasted of her excellent schools,
and Prof. Wortman thinks they will
compare very favorably the past year
with those of former years.
