Don't owe your neighbor a grudge; cancel the debt at once. A nice Juicy p-clm club Is what "Jack-thc-I lugger" needs. There are few people that you meet these days that have not a cold In some form. It Is a littlo early to begin spring seeding. No telling what Old Probs has up his slccvo. Night caps are growing In fashion. Ladles are wearing them and gentle men are drinking them. 11 suld.

Love and romance are more pleasing than marriage and history. Some peo ple think so about a year after the knot lias been tied. In spite of the scarcity and high price of eggs they are st ill making egg nog, which proves that the egg In egg nog is simply an Ingredient but not a necessity. The young ladles of this city don't propose to let any grass grow under their feet this year, and If they don't "catch-on" to a husband It will be no fault of theirs by any means. Scientists now claim to have evi dence that women do not go to heav en. They llnd authority In Revela tions vill., i., which reads: "And there was a silence In heaven for the space of half an hour." If you want to Imply that a man is the qu In tessence of smooth noss j ust say that "He's as slick asacemcnUldewalk on a snowy day" and you will bring a very forcible picture to the minds ot some people In Plattsmouth. It has been suggested that the Jour nal give a list of the marriageable young ladies of riattsmouth, but as this Is leap year the bachelors have no business to go hunting they should remain at home and permit themselves to be caught. Wahoo has a "Jack-the-Kisser," Be atrice a "Peeping Tom," and from all reports riattsmouth a "J ack-the-1 lug ger." Now some one should turn loose as "Blll-thc-Slugger," and watch an opportunity to slug "Jack-thc-IIug-ger" right In the snoot. If some parents In this town are not more careful about where their daught ers go after night they will regret It one of these days. If we were to tell them that they meet two-cent dudes on the street corner, they would not believe it, but theydojust the same. Boys, paste this on the end of your nose: " Hoys whospend their evenings at home with plenty of newspapers and wholesome booksarc the ones most like ly to be wanted In the future by busi ness mon, and In shops of all trades. No danger of having too much knowl edge, If good use Is made of St." We would say something nice about this weather if we thought It would have any weight with the weather man, but it may be as cold as Spitz bcrgen before the Journal this week reache IU reader, Nebraska weather Is about as uncertain as justice being meted out to republican criminals of the Dietrich stripe. A car-load of poultry shipped out of riattsmouth every week denotes that local buyers have not been paying as much as they ought to for such pro duce, and it lias Injured trade to some extent. Merchants should encourage some good man to locate here 1n the produce business. A good market helps all kinds of business. Did you ever stop to think as the hearse goes by, that as the years pass we shall each and every one In the end occupy the samo space 2x0 In the bosom of Old Mother Earth, and that It in better to work to ijiiike life pleas ant for all than to lie, cliuat and gouge for the dollars and cents which cannot be carried beyond the grave, for ''shrouds have no pockets." A man with a large bald spot on the hack of his head, on the train going to Omaha one day this week, (our Inform ant intimating hat it was either Judge Travis or Sheriff McBride) and every little while he would scratch his head In the hairy part. A man sitting behlndihlm, presumably from Missouri, watched the performance awhile, and then yelled out: "Say, Mister, drive them up in the clear and then you can catch I he in easy." Now here In another that we heard m Iho street this week: A little girl of this city viJioef-ldently wasn't a reg ular member, went to Sunday school the last Lord's day, and during the ses sion the teacher asked her, "Who Is Cody" "1 don't know," said the little girl. "Oh, surely you have heard of (!kI," insisted the teacher. "Oh, yes, 1 have, and my papa knows him, too. His last name is dam," Tlio relator refused to reveal the numo of the fatli. prof the Innocent child. Aim, I do nt know It all.

E. church in that city, con ducted by Kjv. Worley, assisted by Uevs. JIanford and Moulton. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Sunday a special train arrived over the M. 1'. with a largo number friends of the de ceased froinKlmwood, Weeping Water and other stations along the line. At 1:110 the remains were conveyed from the home of F. M. Rlchey, father-in-law of the deceased, to the Presby terian church, where services were conducted by llcv. J. T. 15a! rd. The services were very solemn and impress ive, and were largely attended by a large number of friends of the bereav ed family of thiscity and from different sections of Cass and adjoining counties. The Masons, Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum and P. E. O.'s attended the serices at thechurch In a body. After services at the church, the remains were coveyed to Oak Hill cemetery, where the burial ceremony was con ducted by the Masons. After which allthat remained of theonce genial and noble-hearted Frank Dickson, wascon slgncd to the silent tomb. The floral offerings were very beauti ful and plainly expressed the great love for the deceased. The ball-bearers were James Robertson, Robt. Sher wood, jr., J. L. llarton, Frank J. Mor gan, of Plattsmouth; and John Done Ian and P. T. Davis, of Weeping Water. Frank Dickson was born at Syca more, Illinois, on the 9th day of Janua ry, 101, and while still a child his par ents removed to Factoryville, Penn., where lie lived mil i 1 he was seventeen years of age. Then he followed the Star of Empire In its westward course, coming to Elmwood.Casscounty. Hav ing received his education at Scran ton (Pa.) Academy, he taught for awhile after landing In Cass county, then join ed an engineering corps. M r. Dickson served as deputy county clerk under Bird Critcliiield, and succeeded that gentleman to tho oillce by election In 1801, and was re-elected In 131)3. In May, 1891, he was Joined in wedlock with Miss Lou Money , daughter of P. M. Ilichcy, of this city. At the expir ation of his term he removed to Louis ville, Cass county, where lie engaged in the lumber and grain business with C. A. Mchey, his brother-in-law. Mrs. Dickson died on the second day of May, 18'J!, soon after which he disposed of his business Interests In Louisville. In l!M)2, in connection with his brother, Alfred, he re-cmbarked In the lumber business at Weeping Water. On the twenty-second day of October, 1902, he was married to Miss Fannie Hlchey, a sister of his former wife. Tho bereav ed wife with one child, and three child ren by his former wife, survive him. Mr. Dickson's verysudden and unex pected death on Wednesday, January 13, 19o4, was a severe blow to his fam ily and )osts of friends, who deeply sympathise with the aflllcied. wife and fatherless children, Why Do We Worry? Why do we worry about what others say or think of us. If we go along and do what seems to ourselves right, we arc doing the best we know how, and that is all t)mt anyone can do. Allow ing ourselves to do what others say we should do, Is what causes disturbance of our peace many times; if we trust our own ability or the life within our selves for our guide and pay little at tention to what others door think, we usually plpase pjirsclvps and when we do that it's likely what ptlierg say or think won't hurt very bad. The per sons that make a business of finding fault with others In a spirit of hatred are hurting themselves more than any one else, and are the most miserable of anyone. Fine Pigs for Sale!

February 13th, there will be held at Louisville a mid-winter school teachers' meeting of the teach' ers tf Cass county. Superintendent Wortman has arranged a program for that day and it is also expected that some outside notable educator of the state w ill be present also. It is the in tetitlon to have discussed by the teach ers on that day practical problems that come up In the school room. There are in Cass county about thirty teach ers who are teaching for the first time. This Is about tho usual number of be ginners each year. This convention ought to be especially helpful to them Experienced teachers who are worthy of their hire realize the value of these associations and are always on hand. It Is the duty of every teacher, high or low, to be present on such occasions If It is possible to do so, or else get out of the ranks. She should not only be present but should be there to take part, and to listen to othcrs-to learn. And then when she goes back to the school room carry back wi til her and put to the best use for her pupils the results. School boards should notice whether their teachers attend or not, and if she is there par tlclpatlng In the proceedings on that day it should be considered a strong point in her ravor that should be borne in mind in a practical manner when the time comes for hiring again. lie member tho date, February 13th, and also remember that the superintend ent cordially invitcsany who are Inter ested In our schools, and especially urges boards to be represented there Happily Wedded. Last Tuesday evening the Presby terian church was the scene of a most happy event, the occasion being the marriage of George L. Farley, editor of the Evening News, to Miss May Iiaird, the accomplished and handsome daughter of lie v. T. J. Balrd, pastor of the church, who olllclated. The ceremony was performed promptly at 8 o'clock, In the presence of a large number of invited guests, many out-of-town personal friends of tho con tracting parties being present. The bride isona of the most popular young ladies in this city, and Mr. Farley is very fortunate Indeed in securing so accomplished and worthy companion to accompany him down the rugged pathway of Time. Tho newly wedded departed on the 10:28 train the same night for Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and other cities, and will be at home to tholr friends February 15, at Fifth and Marble streets.

The Greatest Misfortune. Voltaire, the well known French philosopher wrote once to Lord dies tertlcld, "My friend, Lord Hunting ton, writes mo t,hnt you have a good stoinaph, whlfjh Is, better than, a pair of good oars. I don't know which Is the greatest misfortuno, to be blind or deaf, or uiRtilo to rt."

To those who are patroDsof the Pub' lie School Lecture Course, Friday night's entertainment by Trot. Tear son, of the Lyceum Bureau, was most pleasantly and wholesomely enjoyed. Professor Pearson Is a reader of note of the writings of such authors as field, Riley, Poe, Lowell, Kipling and Mark Twain. Spllman Riggs was listed for this number of the Course, but having cancelled bis date, it reflects credit on our home management in replacing him with Pearson. The entertainer charmed and de lighted his audience by reminiscence of Riley and Field, and the manner in which he rendered some of their popular productions. He gave an In teresting account of bow the famous Rllcy-Nye Combination advertlsAit themselves for Lyceum work. When tne compact was made that thpv should travel together,' it was mutual- ly arranged that each should write "the other fellow's" bioirraDhv. Thl afforded them an opportunity enjoyed oy uie puoiic, perhaps as much as by the celobritles themsolves. Professor Pearson entered well into the spirit of "Little Bor Blue .' & littlo poem written by Field upon the occasion of the death of his eldest child; and swung tbe emotions of his Hearers to the opposite extreme by his "perfectly kUHnf". rendition of Riley's story about "The Miller Boys." One who heard Riley read bis own "The Miller Boys" recently was heard to remark that Pearson did this as well as Riley himself... In his enneln. slon the entertainer really brought uown me house in a selection from Mark Twain, w herein a too-prcsumlmr gentleman was enmeshed bv thn ' cleverness of a charming young lady - tiiosc ago ne wished to ascertain.:-) All In all.
