. 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.

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.

Judge SpurlocK Goes to Omaha.
The following from one of the
Omaha papers would indicate that
Hon. (leo. M. Spurlock intended to
forsake us and make his future home
in the metropolis. 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.
We do not like to spoil the effect of
a good story, nor do we like to seem
captious, but We are a stickler for his
tory. Will Maupin contributed an ar
ticle to the Fremont Herald-Leader, in
which he referred to Hock Bluffs pre
cinct as being in Gage county. The
precinct referred to is in Cass county,
and the fraudulent throwing out of
the township defeated J. Sterling
Morton for governor. The question
able adoption of the constitution and
the subsequent admission of the state
into the union, came in the refusal of
congress to accept the constitution
with the word "white," and when it
was returned, it was simply modified,
but never resubmitted. However, we

A Friend of the Journal Writes an
Interesting Letter from Denver.
Dknykk.Colo., Aug. 17, VMS.
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.

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 grievous wail oftimes comes as a
result of unbearable pain from over
taxed organs. Dizzinesss, Backache,
Liver complaint and Constipation.
But thanks to Dr. King's New Life
Pills they put an end to it all. They
are gentle but thorough. Try them.

Plattsmouth Girl One of the Prime
Favorites of New Comedy
Opera.
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. His case
was so severe that he had to have the

and Mr. Gi fiord was called and consult
ed. He told them he had a medicine
in the form of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that
he thougqt would help him out and
acordingly several doses were ad
ministered with the result that the
fellow was able to be around next day.

Two Well Known Young People of This
City Happily Wedded.
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

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.

A FLATTERING SUCCESS. .
A Cordial Welcome to the Visitors by
Plattsmouth Citizens.
"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,
