On Monday evening atout forty guests gathered at tliehomeof Mr. and Mrs. John Hurley of this city and as sisted in celehratingthe tiftli anniver sary of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Hurley were the recipients of numerous tokens of esteem, and the evening throughout proved a most pleasant one to all present. Ilefreshments were served. Hot Largely Attended. The picnic given hy the various fra ternal organizations at Union, last Saturday, was not as largely attend ed as was anticipated, hut it was a success just the same. Among the speakers were .1. K. Kaley, of Omaha, for the Fraternal Fnion: K. R. . John Mtn; iff. Lincoln, for the Modern Wootl marwand F. t Simmons, of Seward, forhe. A. . j:..W. . The exercises wrtti" wry 'interest hig, and those who were present from l'lattsmouth report a very pleasant time. Busby Bios. Circus. Busby Bros, circus, which showed here Monday was not what could le termed a "howling success" in any form. The attendance was very small hoth day and night. The performance was good what there was of it. The two Julian children done remarkably well on the trapese, and their tumbling was also good. The parade at noon, in the JrHirnal'sopinion, had much to do with tlte small patronage. It would have leii letter had they made none at all. A Successful Exhibit. John Bauer enjoyed a big run on Ma jestic ranges last week, and the ex hibit at hi store proved a most suc cessful one. His place was thronged with visitor each day during the en tire week, and it was demonstrated to all that the Majestic is the most " perfect all- purpose range on sale to-day. S satisfactory was the exhibit that twenty-three of these great household necessities were disposed of during the week. The Journal cannot under stand how any well-regulated famly can get along peacefully without one, It's a Fact. The average high school pupil will derive as much benefit from a good lec ture course a from anything that could possibly be instituted. Then why not encourge it. Buy a season ticket. An Appeal to Friends of Education. Last spring after consulting witli many of the citlz.e.is a few men con tracted for six of the lst lectures and entertainments that could be secured These were offered to the people of l'lattsmouth for the nominal sum of two dollars. Many are rallying to the front of the project most royally Some linns have taken as high as six tickets, others four and live. All we need to insure that we may have such an educational feature each winter is the w;.- of one hundred more tickets in U '.' i ext three days. I trust that those who have purchased tickets will see others and interest them to the point of buying one or more tickets A ticket in the family an surely te used by one of the family. Think what is Iwing extended to us. Six en tertainments at an average cost of 1 :!. I am in a sit ion to know that there is not a better course in the state outside of Lincoln and Omaha. I ap-K-al to all who lielieve in the ljetter things for our boys and girls, the up lifting of us all from the sordid hum drum of daily life to the highlands where the great souls live, walk and talk, to come to the support of this movement. This is no money making scheme. Kach of the ten men who signed the guarantee have bought two or more tickets. The surplus goes to the city schools. Yours for the cause of education. K. L. RorsK, Superintendent. School Notes. The city schools have started out with an enrollment equal to last year. These warm days are tedious for pupils and teachers alike and all en joyed the thirty minutes recess Tues day artcrnoon. Much favorable comment is heard upon the return of Miss Kinkaid to the work. The pupils of the fifth and sixth grades are to be congratulated upon her assignment to these grades. The high school lioys are praticing foot hall and hope to be able to meet other high school teams this fall. Much more interest is being shown in athletics than for anumlter of years. A regular team will be organized next week and all of the usual feats be ar ranged for. The Freshman class organized this week with the following oflicers: I 'resident, Fred Tiglie; Vice-President, Kdith Jean; Secretary and Treasurer, Paul Morgan. The teachers arc meeting with some disappointment in their sale of tickets for the lecture course. Some fail to see what an advantage such a course will tc to the young ieople as well as to the older ones. You should give this a second thought before refusing to buy a season t icket. A number of the high school pupils have secured their student's ticket ami are prepared for the treat which awaits this winter. Married at Murray. Mr. John I). Wordman, of Leigh, Neb., and Miss Amanda Nichels, of ('.ass county, were married at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening, Scptemljer 1, lt):, at the Christian church, in Mur ray. About one hundred relatives and friends of the bride were present to witness the ceremony. The Journal received a notice of this interesting event too late for last week's issue. The bride is a very popular young lady of that vicinity, and she starts out on her matrimonal career with the best wishes of all for her continued happi ness through life, and may she and the young man who was so fortunate as to secure such a prize never see the day that they will have cause to regret the solemn vow they have taken. This is for You. If anything happens in your neigh borhood, send the Journal an account of it. I f soniebfHly comes or somebridy goes, or if there is an accident, a death, a marriage, a house burns, a runaway or any of the thousand and one things that miht occur, step to your tele phone and call up the Journal at l'lattsmouth and tell us about it, or write it down and hand it to your II. F. I. carrier. Your friends will want to know alNiut it, and your neighbor's friends will also want to know about it. Don't fcrget to do this. It won't take much of your time, and every lit tle item helps to make an interesting paper. . Death of Irvin Horn. The Journal received the sad intelli gence too late to make a notice of the death of Irvin, the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Horn, of Cedar Creek, last week. The little fellow had been ill with scarlet fever for about three weeks, and died Wednes day evening, September ls IWKt. The funeral occurred on the following af ternoon (Thursday) at 3 o'clock, the services teing conducted by Rev. II. 15. Burgess, rector of the Episcopal church of -.J!attsmouth. Interment was made in the Wolradt cemetery. The Journal deeply sympathises with the parents )n their loss of a bright child. A Sore Never Matter After Porter's antiseptic healing oil is applied.

Wheeler sold the Joseph Cook farm, adjoining the villlage of Mynard, last Saturday, and it is not necessary to say that it brought a handsome sum, as it is considered one of the best farms in Casseounty. One hundred and twenty acres was pur chased by George Meisingcr for per acre, while the remaining eighty was sold to Robert Propst for !)7 per acre. This shows that Cass county soil demands a big price. Mrs. J. Benson, 210 So. 16th, Omaha. We show a large line line of children's cloaks from the first long coat up to 10 years. Ruby coats sis months, one and two years in colors or white, wool Rcdford cords, lined and inter lined, 7.3. Pretty ripple and lamb's wool in white, $2.00 up according to quality. Coats of sacking, milton, kersey, chevict, zibcline cloth, velvet with double or single capes, any color, up to $10. Special railroad rates Oct. 1st to 10th. Refused Preliminary Examination. In the case of the state against John Cliamliers, Justice Archer Monday overruled the motion of the defend ant's .ttorney to set aside the former ruling or the court and grant the prisoner a preliminary hearing. The court held that the statute relating to matters of this kind did not authorize such procedure. Chambers was ar rested at South Rend and stands charged with the crime of daylight robbery. At the time he was arraign ed he entered a plea of not guilty, waiving preliminary examination, and was hound over to the district court in the sum of $300. Since that time the prisoner has secured the services of A. N. Sullivan to defend him. The defendant now seems confident that a preliminary hearing would result in his liberation. He must now await his trial in district court, which wili probably be in November. Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson. Refcring to the marriage of Mr. William Johnson and Miss Nellie Chalfant, which occurred at the home of the bride's parentsj Mr. and Mrs. John Chalfant, four miles south of Murray, Neb., Tuesday September 8, the Rclle Fourche, (S. D.) Northwest Post, published at the home of the gnKm, sa3-s: " l he bride is well known to the publisher of the Northwest Post, as our former home was in Cass county, Nebraska, and where we knew Miss Chalfant as an estimable young lady. Mr. Johnston, although a recent arrival in Rutte county, has made many friends by his genial and courteous manners. IIo and his brother a few months ago purchased the McMasters ranch, cast of Relic Fourche, which is known as one of largest and best ranches in the northwest." John is After Them. As soon as John D. McRride was re nominated for sheriff of Cass county by the democrats the Plattsmouth News turned its columns on him and accused him of charging more in his expense account than he was entitled to. The News got so bitter in its attacks that John secured the services of S. M. Chapman and Matthew Gering and instituted suit against the News man for $10,000 damages. Editor Farley has simply permitted his re publicanism to get the better of his Judgment, and when he cools off he will be all right again. Nebraska City News, A -Hurt Never Hurts.

Tvsox, County Clerk. Crop Conditions Somewhat Mixed. The past week has leen cold, with light to killing frosts and generally light rainfall. The temperature has averaged 10 degrees below normal, with minimum temperatures on the morning of the Kith but slightly below freezing in southeastern counties and 10 to 12 degrees below freezing in some western counties and heavy to killing frosts occurred generally. In the extreme southeastern ipart of the state only a light frost occurred. The rainfall was con lined to light showers on the lirst days of the week, generally amounting to less than half an inch. At the same time snow fell n some northwestern counties to a depth of 2 to T inches. The dry weather of the week has been favorable for haying and thresh ing. "Wheat has been sown, but in extreme eastern counties the ground was too wet a large portion of the week. Corn in extreme southeastern count ies was uninjured by frost and in a considerable area in the eastern portion of the state the damage was but slight, while in central, western and in some northern counties corn was much damaged by the frosts. True as Gospel, J. E. Douglass has made one of the best county judges Cass county has ever had. lie has been careful in all his business transactions and showed his worth as an able and honest admin istrator of his office. Is there is any otlice in the county where honesty, competency and a thorough knowledge of the law is needed it is in the office of probate judge. Here the widow and orphan must come for the administra tion of the estate left them by the death of the husband and father, and often do we lind the affairs of the de parted in such a shape as to be easily consumed by the ever present greedy lawyer unless an honest and compe tent probate judge intercedes for the heirs and sees to it that they receive what justly belongs to them. COMPE TENCY IS ESSENTIAL IN THIS OFFICE A ROVE ALL ELSE, and Judge Douglass has proven himself the right man in the right place. The Courier believes in giving credit where credit is due. Louisville Courier. Thus it will be seen why the voters should vote for the most competent candidate for this position, and no one who knows the men can doubt for one single moment that Harvey D. Travis is far superior in all that goes to make a good, competent and reliable county judge to his republican competitor. The voters know Mr. Travis' abilty as a lawyer and his social qualities as a gentleman, a combination necessary to make a plendid and accommodating servant of the people. Now is The Time. Lecture courses must be supported by those in the community who believe in, getting out of the low grounds of the commonplace and up Into the high lands of spirituality. "We all think at times thoughts as high as anybody's we don't keep them there, but let them come down and go commonplace ways. Choice souls, great men and and wo men refuse to be commonplace." Dolliver is one of these great souls. You can not afford to miss his lecture. This is true of overy number of the lecture course, so why not buy a sea son ticket? Elegant Quarters. .

Bridge Contractor Sheeley won his case against Lancaster county in the supreme court and the county will now be called upon to pay up in full for work and material Mr. Sheeley has furnished the county, together with interest and costs. The supreme court evidentily believes that a citizen should not furnish something for nothing to the public and the decision is-a decided turning down to Judge Frost, who held otherwise. It is not shown whether Judge Frost was play ing to the galleries or did not know the law when he decided against the contractor. Mr. Sheeley won every contention in the case and the poor old Journal's effort to bolster up the lost cause is decidedly ludicrous. Mr. Sheeley was represented by Hillings & Greene and Strode & Strode. The contractor has been abused and harrassed so much that all fair minded people will be especially pleased to see him win what is coming to him. Ne braska Blizzard. Cass County Candidates. The three democratic graces of Cass county "Billy" Wheeler for treasurer, II. D. Travis for county judge and J. P. Falter for assessor are making things uncomfortable this early in the campaign for their republican opponents and as the campaign draws on they will make it still more so. There is not one reason why these gentlemen should not be elected but many good reasons why they should be. There is not one spot on them in any way and every one . has served the county sufficiently that all know their worth. Nebraska Blizzard.

Quit Making Money. Mr. Henderson of Riverside made up his mind to devote all his time to his health instead of making money. He is a wealthy man "who made money by incessant work which finally ruined his health. This Is the course to follow. If you allow a disease to take firm hold you will never get well; but by keeping all your organs in regular activity, jou will also enjoy good health. Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is the specific remedy to do this, because it acts directly on the digestive organs, strengthens them and controls their work. It makes new, rich blood, a healthy complexion and a strong mind and body. It is pure grape wine and bitter herbs, nothing else; a wonderful family remedy which can be used by all mem bers.
