Sometime eariy this morning a through freight train on the Burling ton was wrecked, or rather six cars were side tracked here without much notice to the train crew. The cause of the accident as advan ced by a number of men around the station is to the effect that the trucks of one of the cars left the rail on the curve near the bridge, and remained so until the train reached the first siding east when the six cars left the main track. landing on the siding partly on the rail and partly off. Three of the cars were pretty badly wrecked, One of which telescoped the east end of the Duff Grain Co., elevator, leav ing these three cars and the elevator in a very much smashed up condition. The main line was Mocked for a few hours, but trattic was not delayed in the least as the east siding remained clear and all trains passed around the wreck. ..BLOOD AtlD SKIN DISEASES..

DeLasbmutt is plaintiff and Jfettie J. and Clay Con ner and Jacob Luft are defendants. The action is to recover the amount of $727.03 on a promissory note given by Mrs. Conner and husband, bearing date of April, 1897, and that to se cure payment a mortgage was exe cuted by Mrs. Conner on her property in Pacific Junction. Jacob Luft, one of the defendants in the matter, holds a junior mortgage on the same property. The plaintiff asks for a foreclosure of his mortgage and a decree making the mortgage of Luft inferior to plaintiff's mortgage, and that Luft's interests in said prop erty be barred as to plaintiff's rights. Mr. and Mrs. Conner reside in Elm- wood, near Plattsmouth; and Jacob Luft lives in Plattsmouth. Jacob Luft's claim against Mr. and Mrs. Conner is also for borrowed money secured by note and mortgage on the same property. Glenwood ( Iowa) Tribune. List your farm and city property with J.

Today is the last day of service for several of the retiring county otlicials. The changes, however, are very few. In the county treasurer's otlice there will be but one change in the em ployes of that department. Owing to outside business affairs which need his direct attention, Deputy Frank Schlater will soon retire, but we are not yet at liberty to give the name of his successor. W. E. Rosencrans will assume the duties of county clerk, and will be as sisted by D. C. Morgan as deputy. The Journal predicts that Mr. Rosencrans will perform the duties of the office to perfection, and that the affairs of the office will be conducted on business principles and that be will prove one of the most popular officials that hasoc cupied quarters in the court house. His affable manners are just what will take with those who have business in his otlice. There is no change in the ollice of county judtre Judge Travis simply enters upon the discharge of his dut ies fur the second term. Neither will there be any new changes In the ollice of recorder, Mr. Schneider simply enters upon h?s duties for another four year term. Plieriil' McBride 'steps down and out" of the position he has filled so faithfully for the past four years, and the affairs of that ollice passes into the hands of the new sheriff, C. I). Quin ton. In retiring from the position of sheriff, Mr. McBride does so feeling that he has discharged the duties in a most business-like manner, and to the satisfaction of the people, generally speaking. John D. McBride is person ally a very popular man, and there are many who believe that he has made the best sheriff the county has ever had. The Journal hopes the new sheriff will do as well. When the hour arrives for Prof. Wortman to step out as county super intendent, he does so feeling that be has discharged the duties of the posi tion with credit not only to himself but also to the school interests of the county. And also knowing that, in the minds of those most capable of judging, he has made the best head center of the schools that Cass county has ever experienced. The Journal trusts that the new occupant will so conduct the affairs of the office as to merit the approval of those interested in school matters. . JV. B.Banning retires from the posi tion of county commissioner from the Second district and in doing so he can truthfully say he has done his duty in every respect. No man has ever served in the capacity of countv com missioner that has acquited himself more honorably and one who has been more judicious in guarding the inte rests of the county. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," is the ver dict of the people of Cass county. E. E. Hilton, the county surveyor was re-elected, and the position is not at all a lucrative one, we suppose he can have a life-lease if he wants it. Henry Boeck retires from the office of corner, and Mr. Clement, the Elm wood undertaker, will serve in that capacity for the next two years. Uncle Henry has made a good coroner, and it is hoped the new official will do as well. New faces will now grace the offices of county clerk, county superinten dent and sheriff in the persons of W. E. Ilosencrans, J. W. Gamble and C, it. uuinton, togetuer witn new deputies in the offices of county clerk and sheriff. The Journal wishes all the retiring officials success in the various capa cities in which they may engage. Card of Thanks. Miss Helen Goos desires the Journal to return her most sincere thanks to those friends who interested them selves in her behalf in the recent piano contest. And she also desires to state that no underhand work was done on her part or on the part of her friends, who pursued an honorable course all through the contest. The instrument she has been successful in securing through these friends, will always be viewed with pride by her and as a token of esteem from those who voted for her. Beats the Music Cure.

WINDHAM , Secretary MORE HUMAN GULLIBILITY How an E. Z. Mark Brought Groceries From Traveling Salesman. INCIDENT OCCURS AT WEEPING WATER The quality of gullibility in the average human being was demon strated over in our sister city of Weep ing Water last week. The story should be borne in mind by all who contemplate buying from mail order agents or catalogue houses. The names used are fictitious with the ex ception of the grocer's name which is given simply to prove the genuineness of the story. One of the well-known and well-to do citizens of the Weeping Water neighborhood was approached by a smooth tongued stranger who pro fessed to be able to sell him groceries at less than two-thirds what he would have to pay in his home town. After some discussion the suave stranger secured an order for a bill of goods amounting, at the stranger's prices, to iflOT.OO but which he claimed would cost SlT.j.OO at any store in Weeping Water. The goods were ordered delivered at the depot, subject to examination. Some days later, Mr. K. '.. Mark was notified that his goods were there. They were examined, found to he as ordered, and paid for. Now this sounds all right, don't it? But wait! Messrs Johnson & Barnes, grocers, tilled an order for a bill of goods which was to be delivered at depot in plain boxes. They were struck by the peculiarity of some items of the bill such as 50 pounds of dates, 10 pounds of mustard, and other incongruities, and out of curiosity kept tab on the consignment. Their vigilance was re warded when they found that the goods were delivered to E. Z. Mark, whom they well knew, and being puzzled to understand the method of purchasing here adopted, they asked Mr. Mark what he paid for the goods. He told them frankly, ignorant of their connection with the matter. Then the grocers calmly informed the sucker that they put up the bili of goods for the stranger, delivered them in neat boxes, and only charged him $05.00. Dr. Jensen to Lecture. Dr. II. Jensen left on Monday Tor Spencer, where he lectures at a far mer's institute. The doctor has ten dates to fill at different places, and will be gone a week. His talks will be of interest to the farmers for in his work as veterinarian he has the faculty of finding out the causes and effects, of diseases of animals, etc. and of pre senting it to his hearers so they can understand. He is employed by the lecture department of the university. Weeping Water Herald. The Jail-Birds Flown. Humphrey Bates was released Tues day from a three diys' sentence in jail, being incarcerated on a charge of drunkenness. The discharge of this guest from the city bastile leaves the grim, iron-barred hostelry without an occupant for the first time in many moons, and in fact the second time in all of Sheriff McBride's term of otlice. This is a good showing for the begin ning of a new year, but it is very prob able that the quiet chambers will not be allowed to mildew for want of use. The millenium is not near enough to permit the locks and bars of our houses of detention to rust from desuetude. But whether the jail be empty or occupied, one thing may truly be said of that particular domicle at the close of John McBride's four years as sheriff and longer as jailor never was the jail kept more scrupulously clean and sanitary, and now, at the close of John's second efficient term, as he steps out of the office, he leaves the jail and jailor's residence as tidy and neat as the best of housewives could ask, and Sheriff-elect Quinton will find the entire machinery of the sheriff 's office in the same shipshape as the jail. All ELMVOOD BOY SHOT Albert Fleishman Gets Charge While Out Hunting Rabbits. . A special from Elmwood to the Lin coln Journal, says: "Yesterday Al bert Fleishman of this place was acci dently shot by his brother Otto. The two boys were hunting in a bushy slough two miles from town. Otto shot a rabbit, not seeing his brother, who was about thirty yards distant, the whole charge enteringhis limbs and left arm. He was taken to the farm home of Ludwig Lender, close by, and a physician summoned, who soon arrived and took care of the in jured boy so that he was removed to his home a few hours after the acci dent occurred. Sixty No. 6 shot en tered the boy's legs and arms, most of them being in his left limb and too deep to be taken out. He is resting easy at present and unless something more serious sets in, will recover." 1 The Missing Ncckl ICC Original. 1 A youns girl sinl In r mother :iro re turning from a I Kill.

"For heaven! pake, IleHHie, what la It?" "My necklace! It's gone!" She had trone to the ball with a cir clet of iearl of great value clanpi about her neck and returned without them. In vain she sought to recall where she might have dropped them. Could any thief possibly have stolen up behind her and unclasped them? All efforts to account for the loss wero failures. Iietectlves were put on tho case, but not the slightest clew did they ever find. After months of liunt lintf. without success, the Jewels wero given hi J1S l'st. (. Twenty-live years have passed. Bes sie Kinsman, now a woman past miil lle age, but unmarried, is sitting in her boudoir after breakfast scanning the morning paper. There is a whistle without, a ring at the doorbell and the postman leaves the mail. A maid hands her mistress n small package which, tile wrapper being removed, proves to be a pasteboard box. lift ing the lid from the box. Miss King man meets the astonishment of her life. There, nestling in a bed of pink cotton, is the necklace lost a quarter of a century before. Curiosity, one of the strongest of our instincts, prompts her llrst uct. Tak ing up the wrapper, she studies th handwriting of the address. She can see nc resemblance to any penmanship she has ever seen before. One thing, and one thing only, arrests her atten tion. Frank Ilurrill, the young man who had been devoted to her the night of the ball at which she had lost her necklace, had written her several notes, which she had kept carefully locked In her writing desk. He had a peculiar way of making the letter l- This let ter In the address resembled those in her notes, but there was not enough in tliis to serve as a clew. Another five years have passed. Elizabeth Kingman is a woman with more gray than black In her hair and when she reads uses glasses. She still has the letters of Frank Burrill locked in her desk, and perhaps once u year takes them out and reads them over. He has been married for nearly thirty years, and she has never seen Liru since his marriage. One morning on taking up a paper and glancing at the death notices shev saw an announcement of the death of his wife. It was a few months after this that she received a visit from her first and only lover. He was just pass ing the prime of life for a man. Miss Kingman saw in him traces of that manly beauty his engaging smile was all there which had so moved her heart when it was young. Uurrill came often, and the two became fast friends. Once Miss Kingman mentioned the loss and return of iter necklace. Mr. Itur rill strove to maintain a serene counte nance under her searching gaze, hat could not. Miss Kingman assumed that he had been tempted in those dan gerous days of youth and had repented. She forgave him without telling him of her forgiveness. In another year wedding bells rang for the pair whose hearts had been united years before. Each possessed a secret that was kept well guarded from the other. Except this they were as one. The wife hid her knowledge, oi. rather, a belief of which she had no doubt, that her husband had fallen be fore temptation, hail repented and been forgiven. The husband guarded his own secret which he of living be ings alone knew. Their days wen? se rene except for an occasional cloud that passed momentarily over their sun in this one matter of withheld confidence. Again the scene changes. An old wo man of seventy, who has just buried her husband, is breaking up her home. The desk that has long held his papers must be gone over and all that is no longer of use destroyed. The old wo man spends a morning at this work One paper she reads before knowing of its confidential nature. It is this: My Dear Husband I have lost your love under this suspicion over einee you discovered the necklace. I am ill ami worn out with anxiety and remorse. Aft er may years keeping this horrid secret. I am at last resolved, now that my days are numbered, to make a confession of a sin committed In my youth. On the night of the ball, when you were so attentive to Miss Kingman as you took her to dance, her necklace became unclasped and fell at my feet. Mad with Jealousy, I placed tho skirt of my dress over it and when unobserved picked it up. My wish to re turn it to h'T came too late. I dared not admit that I had kept It so low?. When you return I wish you to take it and con trive to send it to her without betraying me. YOUR UXUAITV "VVIFK. Long the old woman sat with the note in her hand.
