A Few Pertinent Inquiries. Aro you a renter? If ho, how loii4 have you lieen one? How many yean havo you Hjent work ing for Homo one else? Compute how much you havo ai(l out for rent. Is it not a fact that you aro annually inlying out for rent from one-third to one-half what you could buy ootl land for, or what would most wholly pay for a cot tage in town if purchased on monthly payments? How many years will it take you to buy the farm you aro living on with what you make over what tho rent coHts you? Jh it not a fact that the land you are renting is increasing in value faster than the net prolit you are making olf of it? Do you want to lie a renter all your life? If you stay where you are now is there any proRct of you ever owning a farm? Is it not true that if you ever own a home of our own you must go where land is chenier? If you do not do so what opxrtunities can your children have? Is it not true that many renters around you are poorer than they were live years ago? Is it not true that many former ientors in your locality are now settled in their own homes in tho west and northwest? Are there not many retired farmers in tho town near you? Do you know of any retired renters living in town without working? Is it not a fact that most of the rich men in your com munity made their money by buy ing land when it was cheap and holding it for many years until it bocamo valuable? If you are a person of means do you wish to invest your money so that your children may have the benefit of tho increase in value which is sure to come to most every foot of land in tho (Ireat West? If so read over this adver tisement, and then call or write for additional information. About Town Properties.

Ne braska, a M4'indi'la.ss matter. Dkmocuats, don't fail to attend your precinct primaries, Saturday, August 15, at 8 o'clock p. m. (Ink of our exchanges advocates the idea of converting the missionary funds into buying electric fans to induce peo ple to attend church. There is noth ing hut wind in that scheme. Tiikkk is a duty that every demo crat in Cass county should perform one week from next Saturday, aud that is to attend the precinct primaries. It chics not take you from your work todo this, as 8 o'clock p. in. is the hour for meeting, and there is no excuse for your remaining at home if you want a full representation of your precinct in the county convention. A immj swallowed a purse and $52 the other day. There Are other dogs who who make away with the money, hut somehow don't yet the purse. Jacob Tkitscii. whom the demo crats will nominate as their candidate for commissioner on the22dday of this month, is a man who is deeply inter ested in the prosperity of Cass county, and is just the kind of a man that will l(Kk well to the interests of the tax payers in general. No man can say aught against him, and his character for honor and integrity is above re proach. Such a man is bound to serve in thiscapacity, not only with credit to himself hut to the people of the entire county, if elected in Nevember. iJood morning, Carrie! Mrs. Nation compels recognition this time. Being a trifle vexed with her audience, the other day, she challenged them with this proposition: "Resolved, that the republican party is the bitterest enemy to the rights of the American public Nobody had the temerity to deny the self-evident truth. The audience sat glum and defeated. There was an im pression that Carrie was looking for a cinch. Tiik democrats of Cass county have more than a fighting chance to elect a portion of their ticket this fall if good. competent men are nominated. And every democrat can take a hand in the selection of such candidates. If you don't want to attend the county con vention yourself, be sure to attend your precinct primary and assist inse lecting men to represent you in whom you have the utmost confidence. Ev ery precint should te fully represented Let us have the biggest convention ever held in the county. Wc can do it Don't you think so? The Louisville Courier seems to dc light in misquoting the Journal; whether intentionally or otherwise, we are unable to determine. Listen The Journal states that for the office of clerk of the district court no one has Wen mentioned on account of the sal ary Wing too small for a good demo crat to monkey with it." Now here inexactly what the Journal did say: 'Candidates for clerk of the district court are very scarce from the fact that the pay is So small that it will be hard work to get a competent man to ac cept it." See the difference? Tiik Weeping Water Herald says: 'An anti-saloon league lias Wen organ ized at the county eit, and there is no doubt but if proerly handled so as to increase the interest it will prove of greater Wnelit than a strike of coal, oil or gas." Yes, "if" properly handled! Cranks, of the extreme tem perance order, never did handle such matters only to suit their own selfish notions, and are generally in their right element when persecutingsomeof their superiors, as citizens, when an oppor tunity presents itself. Such an organ ization isall right when conservatively managed, but as a general rule they go to the very extreme in attempting to persecute instead of prosecute the one aimed at, and thus create more ill feeling, strife and discord in a com munity tlian the conservative citizens want to see. Cut it is the heigkth or some op)es' ambition "to make folks happy," and they generally drift into such organizations to do it. Ik he, whose name floats at the mast head of the Evening News as editor, can have his way in the republican norni natations at the county conven tion in Weeping Water, one week from next Saturday, no one will be nomina ted that fails to pledge him the entire printing patronage of the office for he is a candidate. This is what he is after, and what he will have, if the republican ring in this city is allowed to run things to to their notion. One year ago he did the same thing in the nomination of Todd, as against May field for commissioner, and 'got beau tifully left" in the deal. All Christendom rejoices that the Pope chosen isa man of powerful char acter and wide sympathy. The Cath olic Church wields, outside of affairs of theological faith and government, an immense influence on the secular con duct of the world. It directly affects a great majority of the population in Southwestern Europe, in Ireland, in South America, in Cuba and in the Philippines: a large part of the citizen ship of the United States and Canada: and its priests and teachers penetrate everywhere. The personal character of the Pope reaches the life of all this vast IxKly of human Wings. Coming from the people, the new I'ope may W expected to comprehend the demo cratic spirit which is modifyng all so cial and political institutions in the nations of the world. Noother choree of the College of Cardinals would have promised more of usefulness to the hu man race. Cass County Institute. The Cass County Institute will, in union with Sarpy county, be held in riattsmouth the week beginning Aug ust 17th. The law provides that all schools shall be closed during that time Tins institute will bean unusual one in many respects. It will W the largest one that has ever been held in the county, and also the first time that an other county has joined us. Better taleut in the way of instruction and on the lecture platform have Wen se cured than usually are obtainable at such events. County Superintendent Wort man lias spared no efforts to make this a grand success. The people of Plattsmouth will do their duty in be half of the "school marms," which means that they will be treated roy ally. Among the special attractions will be a lecture by Gen. John 11. Gor don, of Southern Confederate fame, who will deliver a lecture on Tuesday evening on "The Last Days of the Confederacy." General Gordon was a Major General in the southern army in 18G3. He was twice governor of Georgia, and three times U. S. Senator. President McKinley said of him: "When Gen. Gordon delivered his lec ture in Columbus it was my pleasure to preside. The lecture was intensely interesting and patriotic." The price of admission is 50 cents to all who are not enrolled, but any one may enroll and be entitled to attend all the lec tures without charge. All should hear General Gordon. CASS COUNTY WON. Omaha Commercial College. From what we can learo, a number of young people from this county, have decided to attend the Omaha Com mercial College this fall. No mistake can W made in selecting this insti tution and those who attend it will never have cause for regret. Rohr bough Bros, have owned and operated the Omaha Commercial College, for eighteen years and provide thorough courses of study, first class teachers and the Wst equipments. Those who want to become bookeepers, stenog raphers or telegraphers or telegraph operators should send for a catalogue. The fall term opens SeptemWrlstand we understand that students who desire can work for board. Expenses are very low. When you send for catalogue you will receive something else of interest and profit. Fully Appreciated. The Cass county commissioners last week induced the state Ward of equal ization which was in session at Lincon, in reducing the tax levy of this county from Di to 7 mills. The Cass county board is well pleased with its efforts, In view of the fact that a large per cent of the counties of the state will have to pay the full limit prescriWd by law which is 9J mills. The taxpay ers of the county fully appreciate the efforts in their Whalf made by their representatives. Weeping Water Re publican. In Honor of Lieut. Guild. The reception given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Twitchell, on east Vine street, on Saturday evening i last in tionor of Lieutenant George i Guild, was one of the most magnifi cent entertainments of its character j ever given in Plattsmouth. A delight ful program had been previously ar ranged for the occasion, w hich consist ed principally of vocal and instrumen tal music. The rooms were tastefully decorated with flags of various di mensions, and draped with red, white and blue bunting. The lawn, with its carpet of beautiful green, was deco rated with Chinese lanterns. There were nearly one hundred guests present, the greatest portion of them Wing musicians of the city. Refresh ments were served, and it was not until a late hour that the merry guests took their departure. The out-of town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Misses Gentleman and Gleason, of Omaha, and Misses Aylsworth and Stiles, of Kansas City. End of Bitter Fight. "Two physicians had a long and stubborn fight with an a be ess on my right lung" writes J. F. Hughes, of DuPont.Ga., "and gave me up. Every Wdy thought my time had come.

Otoe's Officials Proved They Knew Little About Ball Playing. It was with head erect and with proudest feelings Capt. Brant's colts proceeded to the B. & M. depot yester day and took the train for Plattsmouth where they were scheduled to kick the Cass county officials completely off the diamond. But the colts were off their feed and found the track too heavy to break any records. They returned tired and worn out last night, with their banner trailing in the dust, the Plattsmouth boys having given them such a walloping that would dishearten their most ardent admirers. The Cass county officials evidently realized what a soft snap they had, were particularly kind to the nine un sophisticated ball players from this city. They met them at Pacific Junc tion with a special, too them to Platts mouth where they were given the free dom of the city, and after dinner were taken outon the ball ground and given another present. But this is a subject that is painful, so we will bring it to a close. Judge J esse n umpired the game and gave such good satisfaction that no one attempted to throw him over among the bleacher, story tells the tale: otok. 1 To Cure a Cold in One Day Laxative Dromo Quinine Tablets. njb Seven MZSon boxes sold in past 12 months.

The daily mean temperature has averaged ' degrees below normal in eastern counties and 0 lelow in western. The rainfall was heavy and general the last half of the week and exceeded an inch, except in extreme western counties; in a large portion of the central and southern parts of the state it ranged from 2 to 4 inches, and in a few instances exceeded 6 inches. The heavy rains were very beneficial to corn, especially in southeastern counties, where the crop was suffering because of continued dry weather While stacking and threshing were delayed by the rain in central and southern counties and harvesting in northern, generally little injury re sulted tocrops. Slight damage, how;- ever, was done in limited ' areas by high winds overturning stacks of grain and hay and lodging uncut grain The quality of both winter wheat and oats is rather poor, being light weight. Spring wheat and oats are being harvested in northern counties: the wheat will be a light crop, due to rust and blight; oats a fair to good crop Corn has grown well and continues to improve in condition. Potatoes are less promising. Pasture have improved. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been dis covered will interest many. A run down system or despondency invariably precedo suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition that makes suicide likely. At the lir.st thought of self destruction take Electric Hitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strengthen the nerves and build up the system. It's also a great Stolnach, Liver and Kidney regulator." Only 50 cents. Satisfaction guaranteed by F. O. 'ricke & Co. druggists.
