The man who has an ax to grind des plsesacrank that won't turn for him. John Cory will bo the new street commissioner, lie Is a good man for the place. The one good thing about the lives of some men is that they are a warning to others. It is the fashion now that when you really desire your call to be returned to enclose a stamp. With fruit on their hats and musk melon sleeves, the ladies will look "too delicious" this summer. Already the trees are budding out, and things will soon begin to take a spring-like appearance. Some of the sidewalks In Flatts mouth would be a disgrace to the small est hamlet In the county. Many a fellow has earned a reputa tion for wisdom by keeping his mouth shut because his teeth were bad. Too many sinners are penitent, not for the sins they have committed, but for the sins they have been caught committing. If the law compels property owners to keep their sidewalks in good condi tion, we can't see why that law is not rigidly enforced. I'lcnty of horse buyers in town this week, which denotes that Cass county produces the liest, and that the out side world know It. Joe Fitzgerald will be chief of police under the new city administration the appointment to take effect one week from next Monday. A Chicago minister says that the end of the world will come in ninety years. This should not prevent anyone from making a ninety-nine year lease. Greenbacks are taxable, so says Attorney-General Trout. That will not cause us to lose any sleep, as all our wealth istled up ingovernmcnt bonds. Itubo llyer3 has made an excellent chief of police, nnd if the new man per forms tjie duties of . the otllcc just as well, there will be no occasion for any kicking on that score. There are some people in this man's town who arc always reaching out for something but never get It; while oth ers grab everything In sight and have t) drop the whole load. In my Imnrt ,i hiiuiII hand rcstcil -Siniill mill fair Lltlht my lingers Hnnly held It Light its iilr ; -v Then I dropped It. fur 'twas only Two small pitlr. Now would you like to bo the asses sor? If you are undecided, just wait until you hear the returns, from the poor devil who owns a whcelborrowand the banker who owns an automobile. The tax on all lands and lots will be delinquent on and after May 1. So .make up your mind to pay this month, If you have not already done so, or you will have to pay the penalty for your negligence. Last Sunday a Journal reporter took a stroll through the west part of the city, and from the appearance of things one would naturally suppose that some of the residents made the streets a de pository for all their old tin cans, tilth and trash. A young man in this city Is paying the penalty of popula rity. I Ic so pleas ed the parents of his best girl with his Jokes the first tlmo he called that now they refuse to leave the room for a min ute when he Is there for fear they will miss something. Some men Join the church as a cloak to hide their rascally transactions, but somo if these fellows wear such thin cloaks is to expose their nefarious and damnable schemes. Such cattle should not be countenanced by the churches, and their false robes torn from their hypocritical forms. Wherever you find a successful teach er, you will find one not afraid of work. When you find one constantly com plaining of her salary, her school and her surroundings, you can make up your mind that other things than her work till her mind to overflowing, and she doesn't much like to work anyhow. There Is a song going the rounds of press, which runs as follows: "We don't want to buy at your place, we won't trade there any more; you'll be sorry when you sec us go In some other store. You can't sell us any stale goods, we have opened wide our eyes; we don't want to trade at your store because you di n't advertise." Although Ilir irrtiM I grassy j;riHvii MprlnK U Imnlly to In- seen -Ami It will nut lie he re to stay I'lilll you linir your irond wlfi snv: "1 Kui'M t il clean tin' house today." The familiar smell of burning brush, dry vines, old leaves and all kinds of debris the past week Indicates that spring has come and that garden mak ing Is in all Its glory. The gatherer of spring greens w ill soon be observed In the early morn with basket and knife, seeking the hallowed spots where mustard sprouts are wont to thrive, in order to secure a change of diet. To Get R!d of Rats and Mice. As farmers are more or l:s bother ed with rats and mice, we herewith print a receipt which is .said to rid tlie premises of these pests: if you will sprinkle sulplmron your barn lioor and through your corn, there will not be a rat or mouse remain. Our authority says he has done this for several years and lias never been bothered with rats or mice, lie further says, "l have some old corn in crib at present and not a rat or mc use is to lie found. In stacking hay or outs sprinkle on the ground and a little through :ach load, and my wordforit, ratsand mice can't stay there. A pound of sulphur will be stillicient to preserve a large barn of of corn and it is good forstoek and will not hurt the corn for meal and bread." DARIHG BURLARS RAID AVOCA They Secure Quite a Haul, and Have So Far Eluded Pursuit. Friday night lust A viva, situated on of the Auburn branch of the Missouri I'acilic railruad.in the south part ofthe county, was raided by burglars, and from all accounts it was well-planned, and no doubt by experienced cracks men, w ho so far have eluded all pur suit of theolllcers. The general store of StelTens & Zim merer was entered, and the safe blown open by powder a hole .being drilled from the top. The cracksmen here se cured about $100 in cash and a gold watch, then took theirdeparture with out molesting anything else. The In dependent Teleplono company has an exchage in the room above tho store, and it seems the jar rendered from the explosion shook down the "drops," started an alarm which aroused nu merous citizens of the village from their peaceful slumbers. . F. W. Iluggc's saloon wasalso broken open, the money drawer torn from its fastenings and thrown aside, but the till was empty, as all the money was removed on closing up, but nothing else was disturbed. The M. P. depot was the first place entered and thesafoin the ticket oillce drilled from the top, just as was after wards done with StelTens & Zimmer cr's safe, but from some cause their at tempt here was abandoned. The pow der was even placed in the hole, and the fuse ready to be touched olT. One dollar in pennies was taken from the ticket counter money drawer. SherilT Mcllride was prompt in an swering the call, and proccded to A voca at once. He In company with an M. P. detective, tracked two suspicious characters to Lincoln, thence to York and Stormsbugh, overtaking them at tlia latter place. Aftcrathorough ex amination of these two young men it was thought best not to arrest them upon the very slim evidence in store. SherilT Mcllride returned home Tues day evening. He says there were no blood hounds connected with the pur suit whatever, lie also states that the work might have possibly been done by experienced cracksmen, but rather thinks it was accomplished by parties who well knew the surround ings, and the SherilT has great hopes in apprehending the guilty parties. Death of Mrs. Mary E. Brown. Mrs. Mary E. ISrown, wife of the late Joseph II. lirown, died at 5 p. m. hust night at her home, 1444 P street, aged sixty-three years. She had been a resident of Lincoln for more than lii) years, having moved here from Platts- mouth, where her parents were set tlers. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Nettle Herrmann of Chicago. Inter ment will be at Plattsmouth. Lin coln Journal.

Si'itiNi Mkahow I:.mii, (near) Klamath Kails) Ore., April 5. Mil. CoNH.VDScilt.ATKK, Plattsmouth, Neb. My Dkak Old Fkiend: Many thanks for the papers you sent me. Heading the Journal was like taking a peep into my old home. The names in it were as familiar as the read in; of an old book. Not getting the paper regularly I have not kept paee with all events there. Tor in stance, I don't know what is meant by the "Coates block," of which It speaks. The publication of my letter lias been the means of bringing to me let teis of inquiry as to the possibility of making homestead entries to lands in this region; and that reminds me that I was possibly not explicit enough or clear enough in what I stated about that. True it is that there are still some vacant lands here that are avail able for agricultural purposes, but they are quite scarce, and none of the best, and what arc left are bc-in-? picked up very rapidly by incoming emmi grants. What are left are scattered one piece in a place. And it is also true that lands that have been taken heretofore are rapidly increasing In price, so that the era of very cheap lands, is about at an end. This is caused by two reasons: The fact that several irrigation schemes have recent ly been projected along several of the streams, with every prospect of suc cess; and that two railroads are pro jected into the Klamath basin. These things have been noised abroad and are bringing many new settlers in, who are buying up the farms that are fin-sale at advanced prices. One big ditch that is to tap Klamath lake will afford water to over 75.000 acres in Klamath and Lost lliver valleys. This ditch w ill enable the land owners to raise alfalfa on every acre, and as the alfalfa that is now grown iR,rc js 0f a very superior quality, it will make a great stockraising region of this, and insure plenty of hay for vast herds of cattle. Of course other crops w ill like wise be benetlttcd. If there are any of my friends in old Cass county who want cheap lands in this region they should come at once, and not delay for such chances are di minishing daily. I noted with pleasure what you said in jour last letter about the pood re sults of last fall's election in' Cass, and hope you men will be able to repeat it with interest this fall. 1 hope, too, that the hope of success w ill nut blind the eyes of Cass county democrats into the fatal blunder of throwing away their principles, for a victory even if it should be won -on a non-committal platform, would lie barren of good re sults. Petter stand defeat fighting, for true democratic doctrines than a vic tory if won at the expense of real democratic doctrines. While llooso- velt and his party has surreniered to the trusts It behooves real patriots to keep up the light against these om nivorous monsters, lest we lose our liberties which cost so much blood and treasure. The party in power having thrown the constitution with its limited powers, and the Declaration of Independence, upon which it was founded, to the dogs by and through their Philippine colonizing project, democrats should stand by the old doc trines, and, if need be, die defending the principles of free government. That model democrat, Abraham Lin coln, once said there was not a princi pal of Ids political creed that was not founded on the declaration of inde pendence; and lie was right, lint the party which tries to monopolize his name, has thrown his doctrines to the wiihis ail lor tlie sake of being a "world power." And the misfortune is they are teaching the young men to despise the doctrine that "govern incuts derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," which Mr. Lincoln revered as a cardinal prin cipal of republican government. What a far cry it is between Lincoln who freed the slaves, and Enosevclt, who has been killing olf men who loved liberty so well that they were willing to die for it. J'.ut enough of politics now.

The Journal dips the following from the Council 15 luffs department of the Omaha World-Herald of Saturday: 'The wills of William 15. l'orterand his wife, Deborah, who died some time ago, within a few days of each other, were admitted to probate yesterday In the district court over the protest of the son. W. 15. Porter, jr., whowasdis inherited as to most of the property. The estate was given tothc daughters, Ada U. F.cstor, Elizabeth J. Cooper, Julia II. Hosier and Caroline N. Don ley, with tlie exception of Mr. Porter's claim now pending in the United States court of claims against the United States for compensation for Indian depredations. Whatever is realized from this is to be equally di vided between the children." DEATH OFJSEORGE BOECK, A Former Resident of County Dies of Can cer of the Stomach, The remains of George lioeck, who died in Kansas City on tlie 8lh Inst., ar rived in this city on Sunday morning over the liurlington, and was conveyed to the home of his brother, Henry lioeck. Tlie funeral occurred at 1:30 in the afternoon, the services being con ducted by Judge J. C. l'oint.of OmaJia, assisted by Kev. Uaird of this city. In life Mr. lioeck was a great advocate of the single tax question, and died in tlie faith he so manfully advocated, and it was his will that one who be lieved in this doctrine should have charge of the funeral services. Tills is the principal reason why Mr. Point ictcd in the capacity that he did. The funeral was quite largely at tended, as the deceased was know n to many of the citizens of Plattsmouth and surrounding country. After ser vices at the house the remains were laid at rest in Oak Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were old time friends of the deceased and consisted of the following gentlemen: L. 15. Kgenber- ger, A. li. Taylor, Ocorgc Scliocmann, J. V. Kgcnberger, J. C. Peterson and II. II. llcutte. George lioeck was born in Germany, coming to this country when a lad of seventeen .years. He w as by trade a blacksmith, which he followed until lSiii), and built theshopon Fifth street now owned by William llassler. For a number of years Mr. lioeck owned and farmed a half section of land, which he sold when leaving this coun try, for thirty-three and one-third dol lars per acre. Tlie same today is worth in the neighborhood of $100 per acre. From here he went to Texas, where he invested largely in real estate. He remained In the Lone. Star state for about three years. He traded his Texas land (in Iowa county) for two sections in Nemaha county, Nebraska upon which his family still reside. About one year ago lie was attacked with cancer of the stomach. Some time sines lle wcnt to Omaha and had a portion of the cancer removed, and for a time gained some relief. At tlie time of his demise lie was in Kani-as City receiving treatment for same. Mr. J5oeck was sixty-nine years ofage and lils wife and eight children three girls and five boys-survive him, all of the children being married except the youngest boy. Three brothers also survive him henry lioeck of this city, Adam of St. Louis, and John, who still lives In Germany. Never too Late. During a debate a middle aged gen tleinan remarked that a man of his age could not learn a language. Krylov the Russian poet, made a wager that, although being (18 years old, he could learn Greek In two years. He won the bet. lie was old, but full of energy. We must not think only of years gone by, but of those before us. We should try to keep young. Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine will renew the blood, will regulate digestion, and give new energy to the mind. IJeing made of pure wine and selected herbs, it contains no poisonous ingredients. It acts on tlie stomach and the intes tines, making the digestion perfect and thus forming new, ricli blood. This process is perfectly natural; medi cines which upset the stomach cannot purify the blood. Triner's American Flixir of P.iltcr Wine cures every stomach. At drug stores.
