BUYS THE HOLDREGE RANCH
Parmele Brothers of This City Pay $50,
i 000 for the Property.
A special dispatch to thcWorld-IIer-ald
from Louisville, under date of May
1, says:
"The big Holdrege ranch of 800 acres,
one mile east of here, changed hands
Saturday, tfie purchaser being Thomas
E. Tarmele of riattsmouth. The con
sideration is said to have been $50,000.
The sale includes the old Stout house,
or castle, built years ago by "Ross"
Stout for housing convict laborers who
worked in the stone quarries along the
Platte, river.
"It is said that Mr. Tarmcle will sell
the bouse, with about five acres of
land, to the National Swedish Mission
association for $10,000, to be used as a
training school for clergymen. To help
out the mission in the purchase the
town of Louisville will donate $2,000 to
the association.
"Tho Holdrege ranch has been im
proved by Mr. Iloldregc, general man
ager of the Rurllngton railroad, until
it is one of the finest ranches in Ne
braska. Enormous hog and cattle
barns have been built regardless1 of ex
pense iind everything that is required
for an up-to-date ranch has been put
on the place. Whether Mr. Parmele
will preserve the big ranch Intact or
sell It is not now known."
The name of C. C. Parmele should
have appeared in the above, as he is
associated with his brother, T. E., in
the deal.

DISCHARGED FROM THE NAVY
Chester Deles Dernier, Son of Hon. Wil
liam Deles Dernier. Is Relieved.
Judge Chapman received a teleohone
message from lion William Deles Der
nier of Elmwood, Monday, stating that
ins son Chester had been discharged
from further duty in the U. S. navy;
tnat he had Just received word to this
effect direct from the authorities at
Washington. This is a matter wherein
young Deles Dernier joined the navy
at a recruiting station on the Pacific
coast. He was several years underage,
and said that the recruiting otticer
made it appear that he was of the
proper age to enlist.
The particulars in the case arc about
as follows: Chester was attending the
university at Lincoln, and he together
with several youni: men who were also
attending that institution, took a no
tion that they wanted to see more of
the world, and followed the star of em
pire In Its westward course towards
the sun-kissed wavesof.the blue Paclile.
When they arrived at their destina
tion they came to the conclusion that
California was not so "golden" in op
portunities as some people imagined.
Atoneof the points where young Deles
Dernier stopped was a recruiting sta
tion for the navy with a sergeant In
charge. The young man paid a visit
to these quarters, and the officer In
charge mado the pathway of the aver
age sailor so rosy that he was Induced
to enlist. He told him what a briclit
future there was for the young men of
this day who went Into the army or
navy of the United States. In fact It
mattered but little to him what he
told the Innocent youth, so that lie ob
tained enough recruits to make his
own position more elevated.
After a while young Deles Dernier.
getting weary of his Job, and longing
to visit the scenes of his homo, there
to be welcomed by a kind and indul
gent father and a loving mother such
visions haunting him In his slumbers
he made up his mind that "there's
no place like home," and for that
hearthstone he lit out without the con
sent of his superiors In rank. When
he arrived at home his father, fearing
the consequences of this act of hisson.
and with that fatherly love that usu
ally throbs In the breast of all affec
tionate fathers, set about to have the
boy relieved from further service and
also restored to honorable manhood.
After several attempts In this direc
tion, Mr. Deles Dernier and Judge S.
M. Chapman proceeded to Washington
a week or two ago In behalf of the boy,
and the above Is the result of their
visit.
The Journal is more than pleased to
note the release of young Deles Dernier
for manv reasons, the Drlnelnal nnnhp.
'g that It will relieve the father and
moiner or many a heartache. liesides
it will serve not only as a lesson to
Chester, but also toother boys who are
so eager to leave the comforts of the
home fireside, and a kind mother to
look after your many wants and soothe
them In their ailing moments. In
leaving home the boy, or even the
young man, who goes out into the
world to do for himself should, and
many no doubt do remember many
times over the words, "Let it be ever
so humble there's no place like home."
"Commodore" Matt Gerlng.
Speaking of Attorney Matt Gerlng.
who recently visited that city, the Ne
braska City News says:
"The construction of a llotilla here
has attracted considerable attention
all along the river, and particularly in
riattsmouth. where Commodore Matt
Gerlng has a vessel that he thinks will
float, and until his visit hero was of
the opinion that It was equal to any
boat on the river. While In the citv
yesterday he surreptitiously Investi
gated the boat, and being detected in
his actadmitted that it promised to be
the finest craft on the river. On being
Informed that it was to carrv cruns of
sixteen inch size and the Hrst attack
was to be made on the boat at I'latts
mouth, Matt threw ud both hands.
surrendered and as an Indemnity of
fered three cases of Missouri river wa
ter. His oiler was not accepted, but
may be changed so as to call for the
actual expenses of going from here to
riattsmouth and return.
"If the Jealousy existing between
the two Missouri river fleets can be
burled, there may be several pleasant
visits this summer. It mav be that the
Plattsmouth club will be Invited to the
launching of this now celebrated boat."

IJcst Time on Earth
Plenty of Work.
Evidently County Treasurer Wheeler
and his deputies have their hands full,
and a short visit to the treasurer's of
fice will convince most any one of this
fact. They are as busy as bees among
the honey-suckles, and have been for
several months past. Not only that,
but the enforcement of the scavenger
act of the revenue law will make them
double work for some time to come.
Already many thousands of dollars of
back taxes have been paid in the past
two weeks, and the enforcement of this
act will bring many back tax shirkers
to time. The extra work occasioned
is Immense, but Billy Wheeler and his
efticlent assistants will prove equal to
the emergency. It will take time, but
you may bet your bottom dollar the
work will be done right to tho end.
HAPPILY JOINED IN WEDLOCK
Ceremony Takes Place at German Lutheran
Church South of Louisville.
One of the Journal's old farmer
friends, In the person of Stephen Jo-
chlm, was In the city Monday and called
at these headquarters to make himself
solid for another year's reading of this
paper. Week before last we made
mention of the fact that August Stohl
man and Miss Louise Jochim had been
granted a license to marry, but we did
not know at the time the date the
happy event was to occur. So while
here Mr. Jochim gave us a brief syn
opsis of the affair.
The ceremony was performed at the
German Lutheran church on Wednes
day, April 27, 1001, south of Louisville,
In the presenceof relatives and invited
guests, by the Rev. Jung, pastor there
of. After the nuptial knot was tied a
wedding.rcception and feast -of good
things was given at the- home of the
bride's parents, in which about four
hundred relatives and Invited guests
participated. The occasion for rejoic
ing was enlivened by some excellent
music, furnished by the Louisville.or-
chestra.
The bride and groom are among the
most highly respected young people In
Cass county, and in honor of the happy
event and as tokens of esteem the
happy couple were the recipients of
many handsome, useful and .valuable
presents. ' -. ' " t'
Mr. and Mrs. Stohlman departed Fri
day morning for St. Louis., wliere thev
expectr'to spend a week or ten daysTTT
viewing the sights of the World's fair.
Again the Journal wishes them long
life and plenty of happiness.
Reads Like a Romance.
Four years ago a young man namc3
Herman Engelkemeicr disappeared
from his home in Germany. Much
mystery was attached to the case, as
only a short time before announcement
had been made of his approaching mar
riage to the daughter of a wealthy
merchant. Several theories were ad
vanced at the time as to the cause of
his sudden disappearance, one being
that he sought to escape the military
duties Imposed upon all able bodied
young men by the German government.
Another theory hinted at foul plav.
The young man has relatives in Cass
county and at the time of his disap
pearance they were advised of the fact,
and requested by the relatives In the
old country to report to them should
any trace of tho missing man be found
A few days ago a newspaper account of
a railroad accident in Chicago con
tained the name of Henry Engelke
meler among the list of seriously in
jured and this, together with other
statements made by the Injured man
in the presence of tho haspital physi
cian, has caused the young man's rela
tives in this county to believe that
they have found a valuable clue which
may solve the mystery. Letters have
been forwarded to Engelkemcier, ad
dressed In the care of the Chicago hos
pital authorities.

THE GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK
Very Flattering for Crops of All Kinds,
Including Various Fruits.
Lowtcmperatures continued the first
two days of the week, followed by tem
peratures about or slightly above nor
mal. The mean -daily temperature
averaged 2 -degrees above 'normal In
western counties and 2 degrees below
in' eastern..1' ;';
The ralnfaU'was confined to light
showers, occurring principally in the
western counties.
The warm weather following the
general rains of last week lias been
very beneficial to all crops, although
all vegetation is still very much less
advanced than It usually U the first of
May. Winter wheat has grown well
and Improved decidedly in condition
In western counties. Oats are coming
up, with a few reports of a thin stand.
Grass has grown slowly, but in partsof
the state cattle obtain a living In the
pastures. Plowing for corn lias pro
gressed rapidly and is now well ad
vanced; corn planting is Just commenc
ing in nearly all counties. Apricot,
plum and cherry trees are In bloom in
southern counties, while apricot and
plum trees are just coming Into bloom
In central counties.

Who Is the Busy-Body? .
The busy-body is the man who has
no business of his own, and to get busy
he sticks his long nose into the busi
ness of other people. Ho goes about
trying to regulate tho community .in
accordance with hlsown narrow-minded
way. He finds fault with matter?
that in no way concern him Ilut'in
order to get busy he thrusts his long
nose right Into the affairs of other. PQO-.
pie u'pto Ids eyes. , He goes about re
tailjngfalsohoods about his neighbors
and sets them upon each' other. That
gives him a job. He runs from one
side to the other with news and sug
gestions and then goes outside and en
larges the situation In order to create
prejudice. The more deviltry he can
stir up the happier he feels. It Is part
of his self-appointed job. He likes to
get busy along this line of work be
cause he has no other work to do, and
wouldn't accept a different Job at
double the pay. The busy-body is
found In every community. He fills a
place that no self-respecting man
wants. He is selfish. He doesn't want
any man to act on any matter without
first consulting him. Rut should he
be Indiscreet enough to act from his
own free will, the busy-body will at
once get busy In the endeavor to do
him all the Injury he can. There Is
one good thing to be said of the busy
body, he never stays long at one place.
His vile tongue and long nose soon of
fend decency and ostracism follows.
He then packs up and moves In on an
unsuspecting 'people and gej.s busy at
his old trade until public sentiment
drives him out. The busy-body and
the polecat make fit com panlons-their
smell Is the same.
