OFFJCE-No. 112, South Sixth Stkkkt c Volume XXIII PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. JULY 2, 1903 Number 28. a r V! A PROSPEROUS FIRM. Saltier & Fassbender, the Leading Furniture Men of Plattsmouth. It is always :i pleasure to the aver age iuwsp.iM r man of a city r town to occasionally direct" I In- at tent ion of his readers to the most enterprising business linns of his town, ami espe cially those who are deserving of more tl.an ordinary mention. The Journal, situated as It is, nearly npimsitr the tlria of Saltier Fasshender, on south Sixths! reel, has had an opportunty to ohserve for th' past fourteen months somewhat the extent of husinss done ly this tirni of cnt.trprisini; house fur nishers during that time. John I. Satller, the senior mcmljcr of the lirm, has leen engaged in his present line of husiness in Plat t smoiit h fora number of years, and we take the lihertyof remarking, without the fear of successful font radictiou, there, is not a dealer in this city that so fully understands the wants of his patrons as dues Mr. Satller. Mr. Fasshender Is also a hustler for husiness, and these two Kent leinen make a st long comhin at ion, as is evidenced hy the amount of husiness the linn has transacted since its format ion. The lirm of SaltlerV Kussl tender en tered upon the road of prosperity in the furnitiiie husiness in the mouth of February. I !'. and from the very start have done a most satis factory t rade. The average sales per month, of this tlrm, from IheaUne date to the close of theyear, amounted to 2,.in). Since the lirst or last Jan uary their sales have increased to an average of a little over :,ooo per month, which demonstrates that if an increase at this rate con t in lies the bal ance of present year, they must, as a husiness necessity, seek more coiiimo (lions quarters or make an addition to to the building they at present occupy. The secret of the great success of this ri mi is in the fact that each one of them have a faculty of learning just what their patrons require, and in stead of I rying to shove olf on Hum something they don't want, t hey sell them the goods suited to the ery iiotious of the customers. Another important matter characteristic of Messrs. Saltier Fasshender. is in the fact that they are erfect gentle uien to deal w ith, and clever to a fault. Their prices on all kinds of of furni ture will compare most favoraMy with those of any of the dealers of the larger cities of much more pretensions. The Saltier & 1'as.sl tender furniture house is one of the husiness enterprises of Plattsmouth that the Journal feels a great pride in mentioning. A look through their mammoth establish ment is all that is necessary to con vince the puhlic that their troods are all up-to-ilate and com prist' some of the most handsome licdroom suits on the market anywhere. Thisestablish mt'iit is also head. i nailers forcarcts. rugs, linoleums, of all widths, pictures and picture frames. This lirm is pre prepared to lit out newly married pei ple for housekeeping in the most ap proved style, from dining room fixtures up to the linest parlor furnishings. If your newly wedded wife should take a notion that she must have a piano along w ith the balance of the out lit, they are prepared to furnish you one of the finest huh grade instruments manufactured. The room occupied hy this energetic firm seems to have leen lilted up especially for their use. and their goods are so handsomely arranged that at a glance the purchaser can see just' exactly what he wants, if the article Is kept iustock. In ciT?sion. the.Iourual desires to impress upon the minds of the people of Cass, and even those who reside across the river in Iowa, the fact that it will pay all who contemplate pur chasing a hill of furniture, to call and look through the stock of hihU of Messrs. Saltier S: Fassl tender, and et their prices on the quality and quan tity of furniture desired, and if they do not sell you what you want it w ill be because you are not ready to buy Better Off Without Them. ' occasionally you will hear the re mark, "1 wish I was out of this town.'' and then one feels likesaying, "I wish you were," for a man w ho stands on the street corners, chew inir anil spit ting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town, finding fault with his grand mother W'cause she was a woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers and news paper men would skin a man to a lir-i-.li and a whole lot more, U a nuisance and an admonition. Any town pest ered with one or more such worthies would lie just i tied in exercising cowhide authority on thelatsom of their pants. No one is obliged to to live where he is not suited. If any one hasn't an en couraging word for the business enter prises and institutions of his town, he should shut up and -go away back and sit down." If things don't suit you, move away to where they will. A growler and a sorehead in a tnn is an enterprise-killer every time. It would pay a town to donate ?" and tell him to move.

Yv V Makes the food more delicious and wholesome OVl BUKINd POwnFR CO., NCW YORK. A Heartless Transaction. Cass county has .vit hin her lenders, one of the most heart less transactions, we refill, to say, in the history of the county, and one that needs t he direct at tent ion of some humane societ y, w ho would make it, exceedingly warm for the instigators. A few years ajjo one of the well know and highly respected fanners of the county died, leaving an estate valued ataliout lifter n thous and dollars, we will say. Perhaps it iniht ha e been a few hundred more or less, lie had married the second time, a widow with several children, anions whom was a son. The old tfen tleman left several children, also, hy his former w ife, including a son or two. 1 1 appears t hat among I he property left by the deceased was farm lands in a not her county that is worth, we are reliably Informed, at least 10,ooo. The sons of ImiIIi connived to get this land into t heir own hands, w hich they filially succeeded in doing, hy inducing t he old lady to accept their note for live hundred dollars, accompanied with a promise to provide for her and one daughter the balance of their days. The old lady accepted their proposition in gxd faith, and deeded to them her ent ire interest in said estate, lielieving in the honesty of her ow n son, and t hat he would at least .see that the con tract was carried to the letter. Hut, no. lie, too, has gone back on his poor old mother. After agreeing to the conspiracy to lieal. her out of the pro perty she jtosseseed, he now, evidently, sanet ions her and daughter lieing driv en from house and home to he landed in the MHir house as charges upon the tax payers of Cass county, to which in stitution they were conveyed one day this week. "Man's inhumanity to man" is sure ly dreadful, but nothing compared w it h' a son's inhumanity to mother. Here we behold one son and step-sons brought up under the same parental roof, t he step-sons almost from infan cy, receiving the same motherly love and care as that of her own. After all her trials, care and trouble in rearing them to manhood, they submit, in her old age, to her consignment to the xor house, while they go on unmo lested with their ill-gotten gains to thrive and prosper upon that fleeced from that m h r old woman who now feels disgraced by compulsion in occu pying a pauper's place in the poor house. P. ut when thisstory is more fully explained and understood by the people of Cass county, the disgrace will lie felt more keenly by the sons than by the motjier. The time will com', and may the ood Lord 'hasten the day, when these sons will regret their ac tion in this matter, not, by the return of any love they ever Ik ire for their mother, but because the law w ill right the wrong they have done in the most complete manner. Celebrate for One Day Only. It is time thai all tersons who have reached the years of dicret ion should enter a protest against the celebration of Independence Day by unlimited and unqualilied noise. We are not quite of the opinion of Carlyle that the dislike of noise is a measure of civilization although there is something to tie said for that, too. Neither do we believe in regulat ing the the pleasuresof youth too strictly by the tastes of aire. All young people apparently delight in pure unmitigated noise, and as youth, according toour friends the evolution ists, is in a state of inherited savagery, its joy in squibs and crackers would seem to!e a continuation of Carlyle's decree. However, youth has its rights and privileges. Let there be noise the on the Fourth of July savage, nerve-rending, peace-destroying noise, not without the desired accompani ment of burnt clothes, lacerated tin gers. deoculated heads and lockjaw the last evil bringing the relief of si lence at least. Hut let us have a lim itation of time. From sunrise to sun set is surely sutlicient for the nation to relapse into "harlarism,"' as Carlyle will have it. ne day only, but a gen eral good time while the day lasts. Married at Weeping Water. On Wednesday evening, Juneitth, at o'clock, Mr. Ora II. Rush, of Mur dock, and Miss (Tiara IJ. Sackett were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs W. I J. Sackett in Weeping Water. The ceremony was performed by Ilev. S. I. Hanford in the presence of abtit 100 guests. The bouse was beautifully decorated in green and white, and the young leoe received a great many very valuable presents. They will com mence housekeeping next week in M unlock. A Burn Never Burns.

On Monday evening last, just !efore the hour that the largest number of people can usually le seen on Main street, one of the most exciting runa ways in many months occurred. It apiears that Karl Clark, son of IJyron Clark, was out for an evening's drive, and when near the corner of Fourth and Vine streets, some lad threw a lighted lire-cracker almost di rectly In front of the horse as t he young man was driving leisurely along As a natural consequence when the crack er went off the horse lecame frighten ed, as w ell as unmanageable, and st art ed to run. Coining down Fourth street and cossing over Main to the Water man corner, where it ran upon the sidewalk and struck the iron corner piece of that building. As the buggy struck, young Clark wa ; thrown to t he sidewalk with such force that it was thought for soma time that he was dangerously hurt, and, in fact, it was a miraculous escape from instant death. Here the horse turned up Main street, keeping the sidewalk on the south side to Fifth, and the.ice across on the north side of Main to Sixth ami across Sixth street upon the lliley House sidewalk, running the full length of the building and north until finally captured. It was with consid erable haste that A. W. At wood, who was sitting out in front of the corner building, made his escape, and he bare ly got inside when the crash came. The chair upon which he had been sit ting, was a complete wreck. Ferry Ut terback, who wassitting out in front of his restaurant enjoying the delights of the cool breeze, made a better record than he has made in a longtime in getting" in out of the way of the fright ened horse. Young Clark was considerably stun ned and bruised, and no doubt consid ers himself very fortunate that he es eaied more serious injury. Mayor Morgan has done the proper thing in issuiug a proclamation prohib iting the tiring of crackers and other explosives within the corporate limits of Plattsmouth previous to the Fourth. Ever since Saturday night there has been a continuous tiring of crackers, and it is a great wonder there has not been more runaways. Troublesome-Story. Mr. L. C. W. Murray, a prominent farmer living a few miles southwest of Plat tsmout h. from the best informa tion the Journal in able to glean, is alllicted with considerably more than his share of trouble. Altout a year ago his oldest son drew from a bank several thousand dollars by the fat her indorsing a note for the amount. Since that time the son lias been in Oklahoma. Several weeks ago the note became due and Mr. Murray was called upon to pay the same, which he did. This occasioned considerable worry to Mr. and Mrs. Murray, as they were unable to gain any knowledge as to what the young man done with the money. This, it seems, to be only the beginning of Mr. Murray's troubles. A few days since, he returned home from this city to find that his wife had mysteriously disappeared, taking w ith her the four children and a portion of the household goods. He immediate ly instituted search for them, but up to the present time their whereabouts has not been ascertained. Two years ago, or thereabouts, Mr. Murray's eldest daughter, Belle, mar ried a young gentleman named Will IJerger. After two children had been ltorn to them, a divorce was granted Mrs. Ilerger on the plea of desertion and non-support. The decree for di vorce had been granted but a short time when Mrs. lierger's younger sis ter, Ida, suddenly disappeared from home. The tirst learned of her after wards was a letter to her father and mother informing them that she had been married to Will Berger, her sis ter's former husband, at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Then, again, shortly after the marriage of Murray's second daughter to Berger, the children of the divorced woman suddenly disappeared, and it was the general supposition they had been kidnapped. What the Kecords Show. The recent returns of the county assessors show that Elm wood precinct has the largest number of watches and clocks of any other precinct in Cass county 19!. Liberty has 189, while Bock Bluffs and Plattsmouth precinct are credited with the least number, the former having three and the latter five. "Well, what do you think of that?" Bore tow Rates.

In t hiscount ry originated t he celebrated Westphalia ham. Minister is one of the oldest cities in Ccnnany, and has a history. At the time of the reformation, Westphali.idid irt lielong to t he King dom of Prussia, but was ruled by a Bishop of the Catholic church, the country lieing largely Catholic. After the reformation defferent religious sects sprung into existence. Among them a fanatical sect who called them selves Ilebapt isers, ( Wiedertaufer) or Anabaptist, believing, as they did, that the baptism of infants was no baptism at all. The history of the Anabaptist move ment in its outward development is brief, but eventrul. In 1.121, their first rising took place at Zwikau, under the leadership of Thomas Muncer. Com pelled to leave, he visited Bohemia. In 1-124, he spent some time in Sw itzer By a determined attempt a theocracy was made at the city of Minister, in Westphalia, in l.i:J2 and M:M. Here the sect had gained considerable in fluence through the adhesion of Koth inan. a citizen of Minister and a minis ter. Hereihey had ga ined considera ble influence, and the leaders, Johaun Matthieson. a baker of Harlem, and Johaun Bockhold, a tailor of Leyden, had little dilliculty in obtaining pos session of the city and deposing the magistrates. Vigorous preparations were at once made, not only to hold what had been gained, but to pro ceed from Minister as a centre to the conquest of the world. They held full sway of the city of Munster for several years, and done as they pleased. It is told t hat the leader, Johaun Bockhold, had many wives, and in open 'court, where he claimed to be the head judge, took an ax and chopped off the head of one of them for some imaginary offence. They forced people to accept the. re ligion. If not complied with, Iheir property was taken from them and given to some of their ljelievers. He justified the most arbitrary and extrav agant measures by the authority of visions from heaven. But the end came. The town was beseiged by Count Waldeck, and after a severe battle was taken, an obstinate resist ance being made, on the 21th day of June, 15l5, and in January of the fol lowing year, three of the leaders suffer ed death by torture for their many misdeeds. After their death their bodies were put in iron cages six feet high and three feet wide, and hung two hundred feet high on the tower of Saint Lambertus church, where their bones were picked by hundreds of ravens. I have seen these cages, and also the tools used at the torture of these fa natics, deposited in an iron box, fast ened in front of the City Hall. In the close vicinity of these iron cages was the Night Watchman's little room in the tower, surrounded by a gallery on the outside, so the watchman can look all over the city, which is on level ground and built in a circle. If lire should break out he signals by blowing a large horn which could be heard ev erywhere. He also blows this horn every hour in the night, that people may know the hour. Conrad Sciilatku. A Rich Beggar. In Bucharest, Roumania, F. Schiller, an old beggar died, in whose possession over $200,000 were found. He died so to say of hunger. What does such a man deserve? Tity or contempt?

Man is a two legyed animal that walks on the forked end and chews to bacco. He is wonderfully and fearfully made and seems fro be made in three colors red, white and black. Early his tory tell us man w as made of dust and many there be to this day that think dust makes the man. History fails to tell ns w hat another animal is made of except woman. "Woman, they tell us, was of flesh and bone, and it was certa inly just the stuff, for she is the master piece of the Maker's art. She has long black hair and wears it hanging down her back. She is full of mischief and wears it In her eyes. The lirst dash out of the box she went to playing pranks on man. She fed him on green apples and got him into trouble. Next she organized a free mason lodge and initiated the man, told him to wear an apron that it was a badge of honor and she rixed up a sort of re galia and played the eastern star. The man soon learned that she was the whole thing the star of the east, the west the morning star, the evening star, and the star of attraction every where. And he was merely a star gazer. Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the rlrst time in my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque count', our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamber lain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was sosimilar to myown that I conclud to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me." For sale by all druggists.

The habit of some people in eves dropping on mutual telephone lines re ceived a pretty hard lick in a court de cision in an eastern state a few days ago. The case originated by one man bringing a libel suitagainst another for having said in a talk over a line that he was dishonest. Jn. viewing the case the court said in effect that the conversation was supposed tobe private and confidential, and if others along the line heard the bad story about the neighljor they were evesdropping on the same principle of stealing into one's private room and overhearing a secret, private conversation. The court holds a sensible view that those who use a telephone are entitled to talk privately and confidentally while occuping the line, and that while others have the power to listen they really have no right to repeat such information to others.
