The Journal h:is heen tinder its pres

Special Notice.
I emcerats of 'ass county, the grand
results of the county election are in a
great measure due to the untiring
work of the riattsmoutli Journal and
its editor, and for which la receives
no reward except that which comes
with the satisfaction of democratic
success. I know of no way in which
the democrats could show their appre
ciation more t ban by becoming a sub-
scriU r and thus a supiorter of the
Journal. It is the only democratic
newsp:ier in I'asscounty. It deserves
your support, and will preach your
principles :'ti." days in the year. Dem-
i rats, do your duty and subscribe for
the Journal. Yours for .lemocrat ic
.success, II. K. Ckkino,

The last sad rites over tlx; remains
of Mrs. John Taylor occurred Sunday,
from the home of her grandmother,
Mrs. John Huck, near Cnion, the ser
vices being conducted by Iiev. J. T.
Haird, of this city, in t he presence; of a
large at tendance of sympathetic rela
t i ves and friends.

A Righteous Kick
If Cncle Sam would put someone at
the head of the mail service who had
time to give his job a little attention
he would di.s-over the laziest and rot
tenest service in the delivery of news
papers imaginable. People living on
ly a hundred and fifty miles from
Omaha, to whom the Democrat is
mailed every day in the year, get their
papers two, three and four days old
and in bunchsof twoand three instead
of daily, as they are mailed. Tuesday
noon we received the Lincoln Journal,
which was no doubt mailed before
midnight last Saturday. Such poky,
ignorant work as this would not lie tol
erated in Africa, where they deliver
mail on foot in a wheelbarrow. In
case a complaint is tiled it takes twelve
months before the kick reaches a man
who actually performs duty. The red
tape lxys are all busy tabulating com
munications and getting them in form
to make a record of. And yet we claim
to he a progressive age. Hats! Will
some one please cut this item out and
mail it to one of the republican gods in
charge at Washington? South Omaha
Democrat.
Burglars at Cedar Creek
While in the city Tuesday, Henry
Haker reported that on Monday night
the ollice of (Jeorge Horn, at the lum
ter yard of C. A. Ilickey, was broken
open and the safe rilled, hut they
failed to get anything but a few post
age stamps. The H. &' M. depot was
also entered, and the safe and desks
ramsacked, but as far as known noth
ing of any particular value was taken
The outside door of the latter place
had lieen left unlocked and it was no
trouble to gain an entrance. It is re
ported that a similar attempt at burg
larly was made; at the ollice of the
Dull J rain company, inCullom. Word
was also received Tuesday by T. E.
Parmele that on the same night a
quantity of dynamite had leen stolen
from the quarry. Evidently mischief
will le done somewhere.

For several weeks there has been
contemplated a change in the business
house of C. D. Long, but the trade
was not consummated until last Sat
urday, by which P. Pearson, of Silver
City, Iowa, becomes owner of the
building and stock of goods owned by
Mr. Long, on Sixth street. Mr. Pear
son is a first-class business man, and a
hustler for trade. For the past six
years he has been prominent in busi
ness at Silver City, Iowa, where the
publishers of the Journal knew him
as a most upright gentleman, first
class business man and an elegant gen
tleman and citizen. The parties have
been engaged in invoicing nearly all
this week, and as soon as this is thor
oughly completed, Mr. Pearson will
manage the above store to his notion.
Mr. Pearson will occupy the upper
rtoms for house-keeping the same as
Mr. Long. The Journal extends to
Mr. Pearson a cordial welcome to our
city.
Cass County Wins Out.
The matter of Cass county vs. Sar
py county involving the repairs of the
bridge that spans the Platte river at
Louisville, connecting the two coun
ties, which wascarried to the supreme
court has been reversed by that body.
Another trial will now be necessary
to decide the controversy. The bridge
has already been repaired by Cass
county alone, the citizens of Louis
ville and vicinity furnishing one-half
of the funds to do the work. Sarpy
county authorities contended that
they were not bound by law to pay
their proportion of the expense. The
bridge is now in use, and Sarpy might
not have to pay her share right now
by staving the matter off, but the
time is not far distant when they will
have to "come to time," perhaps after
they have spent enough money to re
pair several such bridges in lawing
about it.

Don't forget the Eagle's dance at

NEBRASKA CORN AT WORLD'S FAIR
State Commission Wants Fine Sam
ples From This County.
The Nebraska State Commission to
the World's Fair at St. Louis, wishing
to exhibit the finest samples of Nebraska-grown
corn at the Exposition in
11)04, oilers a splendid opportunity to
the farmers of this county to enter in
to competition for valuable Exposition
premiums as well as to widely adver
tise their corn-producing lands. Any
farmer who has grown line, large sam
ples of corn is asked to ship at least
twenty-live ears of each variety by
freight to the Secretary of the Com
mission, Mr. II. G. Shedd,414 McCague
Building, Omaha, Nebraska, notify
ing him of such shipment and sending
him the bill of lading. All such col
lections of corn, if acceptable to the
Commission, will be sent to St. Louis
and entered in the individual growers'
names for the premiums offered by the
Exposition authorities without ex
pense to the growers. In preparing
ears of corn for such exhibition pur
poses, the following suggestions should
be followed:
"The ear should stand on the stalk
until fully matured. The selection
should be made when husking the en
tire crop, as there is then an opportu
nity to see every ear and compare the
quality. For this purpose a box may
be carried on the rear of the w agon and
desirable ears laid carefully in this box.
The ears should be dried in a heated
room, but the kitchen is not a good
place on account of the steam. (Jreat
care should be taken not to shell even
a single kernel from the ear.
"To ship, wrap each car separately
in cloth or paper, pack carefully in a
box, stuffing paper in any remaining
space to prevent theearsfrom shaking
about in transit.
"Each box should contain the ship
per's name and address. Ship by
freight, prepaid to the Secretary of the
Commission, 414 McCague Huilding

Because He Didn't Read the Bible.
The case of Amick vs The Tirst Na
tional Hank of riuttsmotith wherein
Amick sued to recover $"( deposil cd by
Geo. Hole u eleven years ago, was de
cided against the bank in Justice Fos
ter's court. The case lias been appeal
ed to the higher courts. This case is
a peculiar one. About a half score
years ago ( Icorge. ISolen deposited sKVi
in The First National Hank of riatts
moutli and put the deposit, slip in his
bible for safe keeping after he arrived
home. Years rolled on and Jeorge
neglected to follow his early teachings
to "Study the Word" and consequent
ly had forgotten where he had put the
deposit slip. One day, not long since,
he got down the family bible to look
up the exact quotation of "Seek and
Ye Shall Find" and the first page he
turned to the lost slip lay as he had
put it years before. It was then sold
to Mr. Amick and the bank refused
payment on the grounds that it had
outlawed. (Jreenwood Enterprise.
As regards the above case, perhaps
a little more of an explanation would
be in order. The bank held a note
against Mr. Ilolen, who made the ?'.0
deposit eleven years ago. When
Amick presented the deposit slip for
payment it was refused on the ground
that Ilolen owed the bank :$.. 00 and
interest for six years, which fully off
set the amount the deposit slip called
for.
