Anything tinctured with Polk-lsm now days gets worsted at elections. The campaign cigar may he responsi ble for some of the gloom overhanging the city. There is one blessed consolation about the spring fever It comes but once a year. Underspring's prescntconditlons the early bird Is more apt to catch the pneu monia than worms. A grass widow of this city says she finds marriage a temporary embarrass ment, but never a failure. If this town doesn't furnish a sensa tion some of these days .the goosebone prophet will miss his guess. Polk's candidate for member of tho school board hit wide of the mark, lie didn't even carry Ills own ward. The buds of society bursted forth In all their glory last Sunday all togged up with their new Kaster bonnets. Hyron Clark may know something about railroad passes, but' his orders amount to nothing In city elections. Onorcason why there Is not mere sincerity In society Is that the women would be shocked by the naked truth. Men who swear that they love the girl so much that they arc willing to die for her, generally kill the girl first. We all delight to sec the old family hen come forth in the spring and scratch vigorously In somebody else's garden. A man has a beastly poor memory that forgets a favor he has done the other fellow. You have noticed It haven't you? For years ulie heard her IiiisImiiiI suv: "l-an'tyou make, pics like mother used to niiKe.' ' At last she i-rleil: "Why. sure I miiv. If you luakedoiiKli like father used to make." The democrats have full control of city affairs mayor, clerk, treasurer and city council. Xow for something lienetlcial to the city. A traitor to "a friend in the hour of need," Is the worst specimen of human ityonthe face of the earth, and will need watching in hlsdaily transactions. The defeat of Mr. Roberts In the third ward Is regretted, but the repub licans need some consolation, even in taking it at the expense of a good man The wife Is selecting the newest spring hat and the hubby is getting ready to "dig" for cash with which to pay for It. Hoth arc cmblemsof spring and sure signs. With setting hens, cleaning house, making garden and 'shooing' the chick ens out of the back yard, the average housewife will have her hands full, to Kay nothing about the babies. We are told of a young man of this city who let hlsdrug store bill run two years, and when he read over the Items the first was chocolates and the last for a nursing bottle. How time Hies! A few dollars expended In beautify Inn the home grounds will give con stant pleasure and make the whole family happy. Bright llowers and plenty of them should be the rule. The citizens who reside In the north west part of the city complain consld crably of the dilapidated condition of the sidewalk at the corner of Sixth and Pearl. If It Is not soon repaired the city may be called upon to pay for u broken limb. When a candidate after election de sert the paper that gave him a loyal support In the campaign and gives his printing to a paper that opposed him, in the eyes of the party that supported him, Is most contemptable. Wc have a man of this character in this town who Is frying to do a''landoftlce'' bus iness In his usual manner of "pulling wool over the eyes" of an unsuspecting people. A Journal reporter had occasion to walk up one of tho avenues the other day. Old Sol was out In all his glry, I he birds In the tree-tops were singing their usual spring melodies, and every liodyfclt like getting out to take the benefit of bis warm rays. As we were passing a certain residence- one of the young ladles therein pealed forth very distinctly: "llililiul Im clouds Ihr mm Is shinning. Your 1f M'elns the full- of all, I' poll your heads some Mln iiiiisI fall. Home days ia dark mid Home he dreary. Put never mliul, dear girl; a brighter day Is coming by and by. Cupid Is a relentless little god, and will yet string Ills bow and will sling an arrow that will pierce your calloused heart and tiring you trembling to your knees - and gasping, you w ill give up the ghost Hud let us drop the curtain. Funeral of Jasper W. Conn. The funeral of Jasper W. Conn oc curred last Satin day from the First Presbyterian church. Mr. Conn was one of the old settlers of Cass county. He died at Yates Center, Kas., and the remains, accompanied ly his wife and son, Harry, arrived in the city Saturday morning. Mr. Conn was a man who commanded the respect of all who knew him. He leaves, besides his wife, a daughter. Mrs. James Mitchell, residing in Ibis city; Miss Ida Conn of Omaha, Mrs. Magaie Harold Yillisca, la.; and sous. Frank. Harry, Will and George, and daughter, Miss Jean Conn, who reside at Yates Center, Kas., where Mr. Conn had re moved with hie family a few years ago. Mr. Conn was "I years of age, and his death was due to rheumatism of the heart. THAT MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. Who is Site, Where Did She Come From and What Her Mission? One week ago last Saturday a young woman arrived in Plattsmouth, claim ing Tennessee as her home, and also claiming to be looking for a brother who recently got kicked by a horse and dangerously liurt. She gave her name as Lulu Craig, and did not possess even a change of clothing. She put up on her arrival here at Cory's restaurant, and In explanation for the absence of a change of wearing apparel, made the statement that at Kansas City, in changing cars, her grip in some man ner wasexcliauged for that of a tobacco drummer's. She paid one day's board, and left Mr. Cory in the lurch for the balance. What made her story seem so plausable was that on she morning of herarrival here it had been rumored on the streets that a few days previous Hoc Craig, living south of town, had been kicked by a horse and dangerously Injured. Put a few days after the arrival of the "lady from the south," Mr. Craig was In the city and unharmed, but he was not the brother she was looking for. However, t he lady remained at the res taurant, the authorities and Mr. and Mrs. Cory keeping a very close watch upon her every movement, as at times her actions resembled those of deranged person. She seemed todoa great deal of corresponding, In all of which cyph ers were used, w hich would denote that she was "up to snulT" on whatever scheme she was endeavoring to perpe tratc. Miss Craig, or whatever her true name might be, remained here until last Sunday morning, when she told Mrs. Cory that she was going to church, and that was the last seen of her at the restaurant Upon investi gation the facts were disclosed that a woman answering her description purchased a ticket over the M. P. rail road for Julian, Xeh., and boarded the south-bound 10:41 train, evidently leaving the restaurant barely In time to catch this train. This shows that the woman was not "broke," as she claimed, and from every appearance she Is simply an impositor;or, perhaps, as some are Inclined to believe, an es caped Inmate from some Insane hospi tal. The only evidence to bear out the Insanity idea is her claim that she is the possessor, in her own right and title, of live orsix thousand acres of ex cellent land InTinncssce about three hundred acres of which Is In two or three miles of Memphis. Her depart ure was as mysterious as her arrival and conduct while here. It would seem from the following special from Falrbury, Neb., to the Lincoln Journal, Miss Mac Donald and Miss Craig are one and the same person: "A woman giving her name as Mac Donald, and claiming Georgia as her residence, was in the city last Fri day trying to locate her brother, who, she said, had been kicked by a horse and to whose bedside she had been call ed by a telegram. She had a ticket to Pawnee City, but claimed to have learned on her arrival here that her brother lived near llelleville, Kansas. Having unfortunately exchanged grips with a traveling man at Kansas City, she was devoid of purse or other useful Impediments, and was seeking to reach llelleville by thesmypiitliy route. Her case was Identical with that of "Miss LuluCralg," as related by Plattsmouth dispatches, except the trilling differ ence of name and destination. She was directed by one of the local business men here to the president of the "char ity organization society," but she did not appear before that body." Good for Children.

Each room in the city had arranged a dis play of its work. The pupils had prepared a short pro- grain for the entertainment of their friends. The weather of the few days preceding threatened to spoil the well laid plans, but Friday morning the sun and w ind dried the walks, and the afternoon was beautiful. The parents fakly Hocked to the school buildings. From the comments heard we Judge they felt repaid for their effort. So gradually do the schools take on the new that it is only when an op portunity is given to contrast the work of the schools today with that of their day that parents can realize what is being accomplished In the modern school. Those who so kindly responded to tho call for words of cheer and en couragement for the boys and girls were: Mrs. Stoutenborough, In the High school; in the Central building, Judge Travis, Mrs. James Herold, Mrs. Waugh, Mr. Windham, Mrs. House, Miss Waugh, Mrs. E. C. Wes cott, Hcv. Youtzy, Mrs. C. C. Parmele Mrs. Polk; in the Columbian building, Hev. Swan and Mrs. Dodge; in Soutli Park, Mrs. M. A. Hull; in east Second ward, II . C. McMaken. From com ments heard by the pupils these talks were very much appreciated. The pupils of the High school enter tained their friends with an excellent program last Friday afternoon, after which the visitors were Invited to ex amine the school work of the pupils. Recitations were given by Misses Eva Jones, Elizabeth Green, Margaret Mauzy and Ellen Windham. Many words of praise were heard as to the ability of these young ladles. Misses Ida Pearlnian and Mina Herold each sang a pleasing solo. .Other musical numbers were piano solos by Misses Florence Fassbcnder, DcElla Vcnncr, Jessie Fair, and an original waltz by Eugene Tighe; a mandolin duet by Messrs. Arthur Troop and Fair. The Senior German chorus made their first appearance in public and were greeted w ith a hearty applause. One of the enjoyable features of the musical program was the selections given by the Sherwood orchestra. Mrs. Stoutenborough also gave a most helpful and inspiring talk of "The Yalue of Education." At the close of the program, the work of the pupils was examined by friends and patrons. Each teacher had charge of the exhibit In her room and visitors were enthusiastic In their praise of the work of the pupils. The teachers expressed themselves as anxious that the parents should more frequently visit the schools. KXl'KKHS AITKIX'IATION Pei small), and in behalf of the pupils and teachers, we extend sincere thanks to those who kindly responded to our requests for talks In connection w ith our Patrons' Day exercises. E. L. House, Supt. Town Killers. Tow n killers arc classified intoelght separate bunches, as follows: First, those who go out of town to do their shopping; second, those who arc op posed to improvement; third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; fourth, those who imagine they own the town; fifth, those who deride public spirited men; sixth, those who oppose every move ment that does not originate within themselves; seventh, those who op pose everything that does not appear to lienellt them; eighth, those who seek to Injure the credit or reputation of an individual. Off For Canada. The members of the Odd Fellows' lodge of this city gave a farewell "smoker" last Fri.lay evening In honor of II. C. (Harney) Miller and Tom Troop, who departed Tuesday for Canada. It was an elegant affair, the tables hi the banquet room being laden with many of the delicacies of the sea sou, and t he evening was most delight fully spent by ull present. The Jour nal wishes "Harney" and Mr. Troop a pleasant Journey to and from his destination. Mr. Miller has been In theemployof Philip Thelrolf, as bar tender tor the past eight years, in which capacity he has proved himself "always a gentle man." It Is his Intention of remov ing to Canada if he finds an opening to suit him. Harney Is an excellent citizen, and we hope he will return with the opinion "that Plattsmouth is giKid enough for anyone." The Best Family Salve.

Cleve Scott, of Central City. Tills Is old news but It isn't our fault that it wasn't published about a month ago, as Cleve kept the news all to himself.

Under a False Name. The Omaha World-Herald of Tues day morning contains the following In reference to Geo. Elliott, a former sa loon man of this city, whose death was mentioned hi the lust Issue of the Journal: "J. C. Martin of Central City, county attorney of Merrick county, is In Omaha In quest of the relatives of George Elliott, who died in Central City last month. Elliott, it Is thought, was formerly in the saloon business in Omaha, and It is believed that his mother and sister are still living here. "Considerable mystery is attached to Elliott's career and death. It is stated that In Central City he was very reticent about his past, confiding to some few friends that he was the "black sheep" of his Tamily, and did not want his true name and family connections divulged. He was an edu cated man, of more than ordinary In telligence, and left considerable prop erty at his death. "Death was duo to paralysis. Just before he died Elliott asked for pencil and paper, but died without being able to leave anything more than an unintelligible scrawl to solve the mys tery of his Identity, lie had stated, howevor, that his mother and sister lived In Omaha, and that he had fami ly connections in St. Louis, Washing ton and other places. "Inquiries have thus far uniformly failed to shed any light on the mystery." A New Time Card.

At the first mass the schoolchildren sang very sweetly the Easter hymns of the church. Loesch's Mass in F, was admirably rendered at the second mass by the choir, ably assisted by Mr. Waldeman Heck with the violin and Mr. E. II. Shuloll with the cornet. As an offertory piece Mr. Hutler sang Mascagnl's "Ave Marie."

The following toh. to a Journal repor ter a few days since, is vouched for as being true. A patient called at a doctor's office in this city, stated his ills, and the doctor wrote a prescrip tion and handed it to him. The pa tient then inquired the probable cost of getting it tilled and was told about sixty cents would pay the bill. The patient then asked the doctor for the loan of that amount, and the doctor, scratching his head, drew a line through several parts c.f the prescrip tion, then handed it to the pat ient.say ing: "Now you can get it filled for about a dime. Those scratched out were for your nerves, but I sec you do not need anything for them." Yes, Let Him Have It. He kind to your neighbor and lend him your paper to read if he does not take one and do not humiliate him by coinpelliiigliimtoa.sk for it, but lay In plain sight where he can find it when becomes In the morning after pub lication day.

The New Assessment Law. The most hnportantquestlon now be fore the people of Nebraska Is that of putting the new revenue in lawtoelfect. The law requires all property to be as sessed at actual value, one-fifth of that value being the sum on which tax is to be paid. The danger Is that the sev eral counties will not follow the same system in arriving at values. The meeting of the assessors at Lincoln last January was a pretty complete lizzie. The state board did not meet with them and no general understanding ot tho ineanimr of the law and the method of putting it into force was arrived at. The result is liable to be an unequal assessment. The power given the state lioard to equalize assessments as between the counties will not cure the matter. It Is impossible for the board to know values In all the counties of the state. The attempt to equalize as betw een townshlpsor counties Is large ly a matter ot guess. And when tho state board attempts to equalize as be tween the counties it Is very largely a jump in the dark. Especially Is it so under our law which makes no provis ion for ascertaining values by the state board as does the law of Wisconsin and other states. A Splendid Recommend. Mrs. Ant Patac, of Richmond Hill, Xcw York, the mother of fifteen chil dren says: "I had great pains In the region of the liver and the kidneys and used many medicines and also hail three physicians, but could obtain no relief. For eight weeks I was unable to sleep and to eat, living only on medicines. Then Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine was suggested to me, and live bottles perfectly cured mc". Wc have lived hero for thirty eight years, and all of my fifteen chil dren were Itorn here, and we aro all well known, so I recommend this ex cellent remedy to everybody. It helped me wonderfully. Trlncr'a American Elixir of Hitter Wlno Is a reliable cure In all diseases connected with loss of appetite, It cures every stomach where a cure Is possible. It hastens the excretion of waste ma terial and builds new blood. Without strengthening the stomach no puri fying of the blood Is possible blood is made ordlgestedfood.
