Just as the Journal has heen telling 4 . t , A.,a,1m I I... . . "-r uri. nr Kcverai wernt past, i ne . Plattsmouth ring got In their work In great shape at the Weeping Water con vention last Saturday, anl every candi date ftlated hy the ring went through, with possibly one single exoeeDtlon. f The ring had such complete control of Vy.le convention that a secretary was se i ecteil from this city, and also hU two asMbttants. Tertians no other section of the county possessed men of such "sterling" qualities, and then may I? H wis simply a scheme totiesome lxly's hands so that their "inlluence" could not !j "wielded'' to any great ex tent upon the Moor of the convention. ra. - t t. . var i. t m i oe nominal ion ui tv . j. m reigut. lor treasurer has heen "fued" for si tine time, and for which (Mtsitlon he has also I teen "in training" 'or the past two years being deputy treasurer, and for several years previous an employe in the office. He has had "a sort of an Itching" to he "chief cook" of the bus iness transactions of that oillce for several years, and was defeated for the nomination four years ago. In this particular instance Mr. Straight will find tliat a nomination is not equiva lent to an election hy a long shot. L. A. Tyson was nominated for re election. This nomination was "set tled" from, the very jump, hy common custom of all political parties, unless something "awful" is trumped up against the candidate. The republi cans perhaps could not find any good excuse for retiring him, leaving that for the opposition to do at the polls with a, much better man, and one who Is in every way qualified for the otllce. C. I. Quinton, of Avoca, is aNnit the only man that could Ite found that was willing to make an effort to defeat J. I). Mcltride for slier i If. His princi pal recommendation is that two years ago he was a candidate for the position, was defeated for the nomination by J W. Sage, and then let him get slaught ed "in the house of his friends." Mr. Quinton is perhaps a very good man, and we believe he is, but the present sheriff has performed the duties of the office so satisfactorily to the people of the county at large that we are rather Inclined to the belief that they will not make any change in this ot'ice for two more years at least. Now here comes an act, in which the 1'lattsmouth ring displayed its "nerve" to perfection. They went to Weeping a . . . i . m 11; i . water 10 noiuiuuie i. r. i lies lor county judge, and by considerable scheming anil the selling out? of one other candidate, they completed the job. J. K. Douglass has made a most creditable judge, and his record shows that his efficiency has been first-class in every respect. To cast aside such a man for one who has nothing of that character to recommend him for a po rtion that has been tilled by some of the best lawyers in the county, we do not believe the people of Cass county are willing to trust their business in the hands of one with but little more than the Plattsmouth republican ring to re commend him for a position that stiould be tilled by at least a second rate lawyer. King rule showed its full strength in the nomination of Wiles, but the voters will see that this act of the ring is not endorsed at the polls. M. A.Sams, of Louisville, was nom inated for superintendent of schools. After the defeat of Teft for judge, then It became necessary for the ring to change its tactics somewhat. Weep ing Water wanted Teft awful bad for judge, but the ring decreeing other wise, It fell to the lot of C. ('.. May field to be dumped overboard in order to satisfy Weeping Water that they did not intend to give her the "cold-shoulder" altogether, and J. M.Teegarden, of that city, was nominated for assess or, a position that Mr. May Held was really entitled to. Here is were Mr. Sams was lucky. He felt positive that his only show for the nomination was in the defeat of both Teft and May field. And the ring thought so, too, This necessitated the giving of the as- sessorship to Weeping Water, and the superintendent to Louisville. Thus another Maylield was downed by the "Itallian hand." Sams may bea tirst rate man for the place, and we presume he is, but the trick by which he secur ed the nomination will not set very well with those who know how it was accomplished. J. M. Robertson secured the nomin ation for clerk ' of the district court. Jim has become such "a fatnil lar figure" about the court house that the ring thought it best to retain him. notwithstanding John Wiedeman, of fireenwood, wanted the place. But you see, In this instance, Jim wanted the place, too, and wanted it so badly, that the ring couldn't go back on their most "brilliant" members, and of course lie was nominated. He has a "pull" with the ringsters, and when tie wants anything at the hands of his party ail fie say is, "I am the great I am, and demand it!" Then comes the position in which the office was "fixed" especially for the man. We refer to I. II. Hawksworth - for commissioner. It has been for several months the plan of the ring to bare him nominated for the place, and as soon as the new law, wherein none llsLes the food more delicious end wfcc!escs aovM. iwi ooc but voters of the first dstrict could participate in selecting a candidate for which the entire voting population of the county is called upon to elect. Mr. Hawksworth's nomination has been a foregone conclusion. This is a most unrightous law, and to a great ex tent, disfranchises two-thirds of the voters of the county In order togratify the desires of the other one-third. Mr. Hawksworth lias' been a rail ntad em ploye from the time he attained the age of manhood, and the Journal is not inclined to the belief that he is the proper man to represent the people up on thetioard of county commissioners. The people of the county at large will not stand such provisions in a very de fective law, and we Itelieve when the time arrives the fanners of the county will support a man for this important position whose interests are strictly identified with their interests. E. E. Hilton was renominated for surveyor and Henry Bocck for coroner. These offices don't amount to much, yet the opposition propose to nominate a candidate for each of these positions that will make- them think they have had a "hoss race" by the time they come in under the wire in November. In many respects the ticket is con sidered a very weak one, and if the dem crats arc wise in the selection of a ticket next Saturday, the majority of the alove candidates are doomed to defeat. Child Dies. Frank, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Lamphere, died of sum mer complaint last Sunday afternoon. The child's sickness was of but short duration, becoming ill last Wednesday, and continued to grow worse until death. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon, the services being conduct ed by He v. Fred Warren. Mr. and Mrs. Lamphere have the sympathy of the community in the loss of their little darling. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been dis covered will interest many. A run down system or despondency invariably preceda suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition that makes suicide likely.

Mr. Spurlock has many friends in this city who will regret this move: "T. W. Illackburn and George M. Spurlock have associated themselves together under the firm style of Black burn & Spurlock for the practice of law. Mr. Blackburn has resided here for twenty -seven years. Mr. Spur lock was ltorn and brought up in Plattsmouth where he has beeu prominent and popular. Twice he was elected county judge. Last fall he was sent to the legislature and in that body was a recognized force in committees and on debate. He will bring his wife and boy to Omaha about September 1, if he succeeds in purchas ing the home he is seeking by that time."- Pioneers of Cass Remember.

The precinct referred to is in Cass county, and the fraudulent throwing out of the township defeated J. Sterling Morton for governor.

Dkak Jouknal: Denver is the city of the west. It claims 175,000 inhab itants1 and it is my opinion it is only starting, from the number of substan tial buildings going up, and all brick. Frame buildingc are a thing of the past. When I look back to what I saw of Denver in 1800 and what it is now, I am tldnkingl am in dreamland. The last time I was in this city was in 1865. It was then in its infancy, but began its growth at about that time, and has kept on improving until it has become a grand city. The street car service is tirst-class. A person can travel eleven miles on the cars, all for live cents. What surprises me is the enormous amount of travel. The carsare always loaded down with passengers going one way or the other. The public buildings, such as state house, postoffice, court house, home for consumptives, county hospital and other buildings, are grand structures. The wholesale trade is very large. Goods are shipped in all directions. 1 am told that mining and other ma chinery are shipped to Alaska and South Africa. The display of goods in the stores is grand, and are thronged continually with customers; especially is this the case in the business part of city. In every direction we tind stores of all kinds. The streets in the resi dence part of the city are lined on both sides with tine shade trees, most ly soft maple and black locust, with a few cottonwood. I was very much surprised to see Platte river here almost dry. One can walk through same with barely getting his shoes wet. When I last saw the river here in 1865, it was deep and very swift. The reason the river is so low is on account of the extensive irrega tion. I was agreeably surprised last Satur day to meet my old-time friends, Mr. and Mrs. Frampton, of Lincoln, who, in scompany with Mr. and Mrs. Charles McPberson, of Greeley, spent a week or two in the mountains. We spent a very pleasant evening together, talk ing of the good timeswe had when liv ing at Collage Hill. It would make a dog laugh to hear Mr. Frampton tell about what a time the ladies had in riding burro's up the mountains. We regret very much that we were not with the party. I can say we are well taken care of by our relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Lewis; and by Dr. Luoy and wife, also relatives of ours. The Doctor is a very kind-hearted and intelligent gentle man, who does everything to make us feel at home. My health is improving, and I hope when I return to Plattsmouth I will be in my former good health. I will close by saying that when I write again I will have something to say about the city parks, beautiful gardens, and about the many Italians and their manner of living. I received the Journal, which pleases me very much, because I hear from home and friends. Conrad Schlatku. An Efficient Public Servant. Supt. Wortman attended the old settler's re-union at Union last week and addressed the people on that oc casion. The Union Ledger in speak ing of it states that Prof. Wortman delivered a "splendid speech, largely on educational lines." Many kind words of praise have been spoken re garding this address, and although we did not hear it, yet we venture the belief that Mr. Wortman put the same energy and thought in this that characterizes his work as superintend ent. Prof. Wortman is a good public speaker and a thinker, and is the right man in the right place. This is con sidered by many, and properly too, as a non-partisan office, and is now being conducted without regard to partisan belief. The voters everywhere should consider themselves missionaries to see to it that Prof. Wortman is con tinned in that office. We believe that it is to the interest of our schools to have no change in this position. Ev erything is as it should be, and we should let well enough alone.' ' Puts on End to It All.

A special to the Omaha Ilee from Philadelphia, l"a., under date of August 47, says: "Nixon & Zimmerman is lavish new production of William Spencer's comedy opera, "Miss Ikb White" opened in Park theatre tonight and received an absolute ovation from a house that was packed to suffocation. All the pretty members of the opera were encored and the comedy went with a vim and snap that augurs well for all concerned. The favorites in the cast were cordially greeted. Miss Dorothy Hunting as Hob White, jus tified all the good things said of her. Alice Dovey, of Plattsmouth, Neb., as Golden Rod was an ideal little Qua ker maiden and sang her score beau tifully." The citizens of Plattsmouth and va cinity will no doubt be pleased to learn that the "Miss Hob White" company will in all probability, visit this city during the coming season, and that the management of the company is now in correspondence with the Parmele theatre manager re garding a date. The visit of this company will indeed be a rare treat to our people. Funeral of Jacob Stull. Mention was made in the the last issue of the Journal of the sudden death of Jacob Stull, but as we went to press in the morning, we were un able to gain any of the particulars. Mr. Stull bad been a resident of the Platte bottoms at Oreapolis for many years, and died suddenly about 7:30 Wednesday evening, August 12, of heart disease, as it is presumed. The deceased had been in this city early in the day, and from all appearances was in his usual good health. He had hitched the horse to the buggy, ready to start on a trip to the river, on which his wife was to accompany him. His wife had barely got seated in the buggy beside him, when he suddenly fell to one side. Mrs. Stull thinking that he was merely joking, endeavored to arouse him, when she discovered he was dead. His sudden death was a shock to his family, and especially more so, on ac count of its suddenness. He had not complained of feeling sick and had always been in the enjoyment of good health. Jacob was a son of Mrs. J. S. Stull, and a brother of Lawrence and Henry Stull and Mrs. O. P. Monroe. He was 44 years old, and leaves a wife and five children, the youngest of which is about two months old. The funeral occurred from the family residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock the services being conducted by Rev. Baird of the Prefbyterian church, of this city. After which the remains were conveyed to Oak Hill cemetery for interment, attended to their last resting place by a large number of relatives and friends. The pall bearers were II. M. Soennichsen, Lyman Kiidow, M. J. Buttery, C. A. Miller, Fred Kunzman and Henry Miller. A Grand Success. The Eagle's picnic at the T. J. Sokol hall on Sunday last was a grand success both socially and financially. The crowd was very respectable in numbers, and most orderly in behav ior. There were quite a number of out-of-town Eagles present, and those who had the pleasure of being there report a most enjoyable time. The society is enhanced the sum of $150.00 above all expenses. Taken With Cramps. Wm. Kir ruse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport wastaken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera.

One of the happiest events of the season was the ceremony at the Episcopal church last .Sunday after noon that solemi'ed the wedded bliss of two happy young people in the per sons of Mr. Nathan Shultz and Miss Frances Cory, both of this city. The words that united the parties were spoken by Rev. Burgess, rector of the church in a most beautiful and ap propriate manner. The bride was attended by her sister. Miss Florence, while the groom was attended by Mr. Ernest Wurl. Among the other at tendants was little Bessie, sister of the bride, who carried a basket of flowers to strew in their pathway as the bridal party passed up the aisle, and the two small nephews of the groom, Xatie and Bertis Shultz, of Omaha, stood at the altar with baskets filled with flowers, one of which contained the wedding ring. Small in stature and young in years as were the little fellows, they performed their part of the program to perfection, and right at the proper moment in the ceremony the ring was presented with out a bobble. The bride wore a very handsome dress of white, and in her she carrned ofboquet of white roses, while the bridesmaid also wore white and car ried pink flowers. As the bride groom and attendants entered the church the wedding march was played by Miss Peterson. The ceremony throughout was very impressive, and the Journal hopes so much so, that the young couple may never see the hour they will regret the vows taken on this day. After the ceremony the bridal party and a few of the near relatives of the happy couple enjoyed an elegant luncheon at the home of the groom's parents. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Cory, of this city, and bears the traits of an excellent young lady Reared in Plattsmouth, as she was, she has many warm friends, who congratulate her. The groom was also reared in this city, is a young man of excellent habits, and withal, a fine young man. The young couple were the recipients of a number of useful and handsome presents as tokens of esteem from their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Shultz departed the same evening on a brief wedding trip to Sax City, Iowa, and will be at home to their friends after September first at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shultz. The Journal joins the many friends of the young people in wishing them a pleasant voyage down the river of Time, and may the bright wings of Love guard them through life.

Retired from Business. Our friend. J. A. Walker, of Murray, was in the county seat Saturday, and among other matters in conversation informed us that the firm of Pittman & Walker had disposed of their grain business at Murray to the Jones CI rain company, of Nebraska City, the consideration being $7,000 cash in hand. Case Dismissed. The breach of promise suit, in w hich Miss Jennie Carstens, a former 1'latts mouth girl was plaintiff and Ole B. Ackerly, defendant has been dismissed, a stipulation having been filed in the South Omaha district court last week. An Omaha paper adds: "Miss Carstens was a waitress in a South Omaha hostelry. Ackerly is a stock buyer for the Union Stock yards. The girl alleged that he paid her at tentions under the promise of marri age and then neglected to keep his word when a wedding became neces sary. She sued for tl0,000." Another Scare. This community had another big scare last Friday evening. From past experiences, the indicationspDinted in the direction of another flood, but fortunately the sewers were able to car ry off the biggest portion of the water, and but comparatively little passed through Main street. The alarm from the fire bell caused a number to leave their homes and take a position along Main street, expected a repetition of the flood of a few weeks since, but we are glad to say they were disappointed. ter Mt!

"We have met the teachers and they are ours," is the spirit manifested by the citizensof Plattsmouth toward the teachers of Cass and Sarpy counties, who arc spending the week in our city. A large majority of the teachers were unacquainted in Plattsmouth, but they all secured lioarding places th first day, and the generosity of the people would have accommodated that many more. The e.irollwent Tuesday evening was away above the 200 mark it is believed that it will very nearly reach 2.V). All the people feel good, the very best spirit prevailing every where. A reception was held on Mon day, and all have since that considered themselves informally introduced and acquainted. On that occasion the mu sical people of 1'lattsmouth contribu ted their full share to make the even ing pleasant, and city teachers served punch. On Tuesday evening (ieneral Gordon delivered to a large audience his cele-" brated lecture on the "Last Daya of the Confederacy." This was an intellect ual treat to the old and young, and the old boys in blue enjoyed it immensely. There are two lectures to be given du ring the week by Dr. Ott and Superin tendent Coughlin. On to-morrow (Friday) afternoon there will bo an annual school oflicers' meeting, and the members are expected to visit the in stitute during the time they are here. The instructors are much pleased, with the work and the teachers all are well pleased. Miss fjreves, in her pri mary work, is giving the work unusual In character and in mannerof present ation. 1'rof. Harvey's lectures, wheth er on school management or some ev eryday subject, are simply fine and al most classics from a literary stand point. I'rofessor Coughlln's work is equally pleasing, and he is also to give an evening Jecturc. Miss Street's work in music meets with the appro val of all, and when It is known that she is to sing they all try to be on tinm for all of it. Superintendents Wortman and Mil ler, the conductors, do not hesitate to say that they are eminently satisfied with what is being done. It Is hoped that all enjoy Jt as much as the citizens of Plattsmouth do in having them among us, and the wish of all, and ex pressed by many, is that thetronveu tion may come here again. Hicfcson Held. The prclimanry hearing of Harry Ilickson, accussed of forgery, was held before Judge Kroehler Friday morning, and the evidence against the younjj man was so strong tliat the Judge felt in duty bound to bind him over to the next term of district court in th sum of which he failed to furnish and Ilickson was taken back to Jail.
