Enemy of Local Merchants.
Montgomery Ward & Co., have now
begun a system that will really make
the mechant look out for himself and
yet a hump on himself if he holds the
trade of the farmer. He has long been
handicapped by the fact that he could
not get a lot of the trade that he was
after because some of the farmers were
royal enough to the men who pay
their share of the taxes, contribute to
the churches and in every way help in
making the farm valuable, and at the
same time traded produce for the
things from the farm. Montgomery
Ward & Co. have established commis
sion houses and in his circulars is put
ting out the bait to the country peo
ple. Jt seems that the merchant
must meet them and all other mail
order houses on the same footing.
They must get into his field and ad
vertise. That is the way he builds up
his great business. It is not because
he can undersell. He does not do this
and if any merchant will take one of
his or any other catalogue and put the
price of" the catalogue and his own
regular one side by side he and his
patrons will find that the local mer
chant is underselling the big houses
It is useless for the newspapers to
howl for the merchant. It is all up to
the merchant. If he does not wake
up and meet the mail order houses
now and all the time he will find that
in the future his store will be a little
one-horse place. There is but one
way and that is for all the merchants
to work together in this war. They
must all advertis3 by the papers, by
circulars, by catalogues and every way
that they can reach the people. Be
gin the new year with a systematic
effort to wrest the business in your
own territory from these sharks the
trade that properly belongs to you
which they have secured by extensive
advertising. You can easily do it if
you follow in their footsteps and con
tinually keep before the people the
fact that you have the goods and that
you will make prices as low as Mont
gomery Ward & Co., or any other cat
alogue house, which you know you
can do.

Family Reunion.
A most enjoyable New Year's day
family reunion was celebrated at the
pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm
Hunter in the north part of the city
Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter had
invited a number of the relatives in to
spend the day, and in an enjoyable
way make it one long to be remem
bered by all present, and we feel safe
in saying that the program to that
end was well carried out. At noon a
most excellent dinner was served to
which all did ample justice. Follow
ing were those in attendance: Mr. and
Mrs. Ed. Gansemer and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Jake Hild and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Gus Hanson and family, Will
Obernalte, Herman Gansemeier, and
Miss Tillie Peters and Miss Messina:
also Mr. John Peters and wife and
Miss Emma Peters, of Burwell, Neb.
Mr. and Mrs. Teters were married
about two weeks ago and were enjoy
ing a portion of their honeymoon trip.
CHRISTMAS SCENE III OMAHA
While Joy and Happiness is the Lot of
Some, Poverty and Desolation the
Lot of Others.
The Fremont Herald tells of an in
cident he viewed In Omaha on Christ
mas day, which would make the hair
stand straight upon any man's head,
more so if he possessed one tpark of
christian spirit, and possessed any
feeling for humanity. It simply shows
the disposition of hard-hearted land
lordism in the large cities, and that
while here on earth they can rule with
an iron hand. What will be their lot
on the next shore? They will never
get there to tell the tale. Old Nick
will take pleasure in depositing their
bodies in the hottest furnace of h 11:
"A Herald man in Omaha on Christ
mas day saw a family get a present not
usually carried by Santa Claus or hung
on Christmas trees in the churches.
It was an evictment from the hovel
that had been dignified by the name
of home although the building was
scarcely fit to be used as a dog kennel.
The few household goods had been
dumped out in the alley and beside
them stood the mother and two little
children, all weeping, while the father
had gone to seek another shack into
which to move them. Two extremes
of life were seen right there for while
the woman and little ones bemoaned
the harshness of a llinty-hearted land
lord, a joyous wedding party passed
by over the viaduct, gladsome in their
gaity, resplendent in their ribbons
and roses, while showers of rice rattled
over and around the hack windows,
and the thought came that possibly,
that poor woman standing down under
the shadow of the great viaduct was
one day as joyous, as happy, as blush
ing as the bride of an hour hurrying
away to bask in the light of the honey
moon. Time and tide brings great
changes and the tear of joy may be
come a tear of bitterness though both
sparkle the same. But to be the poor
woman standing there poorly clad,
with no home, no hearthstone, is far
more preferable than to be the stony
hearted landlord who ordered her
evictment on the dayof Christmas."
Corn Hulking Stories.
Siimc of our contemporaries arc In
dulging In some pretty good corn
husking stories this year. The Kear
ney Democrat tells of a Bureau county
( 111.) young man who, in spite of a
rainy day, husked, weighed and crib
bed 1C2 bushels or corn in nine and a
half hours. Then comes the l'latts
mouth Journal and records that one
W. J. Hollenbeck, of Greenwood, In
our own state, shucked hauled aud un
loaded 2,4.jO bushels in twenty-one
days, averaging 110 bushels per day,
and one day when he felt like work,
he husked out 145 bushels in nine
hours. Finally the Petersburg Index,
being first duly sworn, deposes and
says that he personally knows of a
young fellow in Page county, 111., who
husked 227 bushels in ten hours out of
a cornfield averaging sixty bushels to
the acre, and then wanted to wager he
could husk thirty. five bushels in one
hour with no takers. Now we always
like to see Merrick do a little better
than elsewhere, and will be glad to
give the privilege of these columns to
anyone who can truthfully tell a big
ger story than any of these, even if it
may stretch his conscience a little.

A Through Train.
A special from Sioux City, Iowa,says
of the (Jreat Northern "It was stated
lcre today by good authority that Ed
ward Kost, traveling freight agent of
the Burlington railroad, with head-
luarters in Lincoln, Neb., is slated to
be the general agent of the Burlington
at Sioux City as soon as the Ashland
line is completed. With this state
ment it was also learned that the Bur-
ington expects to establish through
service from St. Paul to Kansas City,
via Sioux City.and that elegant trains
will be provided for this run."
Kicked By a Horse.
A very bad accident happened Tues
day afternoon at the home of Martin
Nelson, living on the Watt Gordon
farm four miles northwest of town.
His four-year-old boy was found in the
afternoon, lying in the pasture, with a
gash in his head 2 inches long and
three-fourths of an inch wide. He
was kicked by a horse, and his brain
was fond to be partially out of the
wound. Dr. Butler was called and
dressed the lad, but it was found
necessary to take him to Omaha, this
morning, and it was expected that a
silver plate will have to be covered
over the fractured skull to retain the
brain matter, as the portion of the
skull is broken into small pieces. His
condition is quite critical. Weeping

Mules Take a Run.
Sunday morning about nine o'clock
as Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nolting were
coming to town with a team of mules
attached to a spring wagon, met with
quite a serious accident near the Mis
souri Pacific depot. As they were
coming down a hill, the neck-yoke
broke, and in consequence the mules
become scared and started to run, up
setting the vehicle, throwing out Mr
and Mrs. Nolting and an old gentle
man who was seated in the wagon with
them. At first it was thought Mrs
Nolting was quite badly injured, and
she was conveyed to the office of Dr
Livingston, where she was soon re
stored, and no serious injuries were
found. A year ago Mrs. Nolting was
operated upon for some serious com-
plaint.and.it was thought that the jolt
ing she received might possibly result
fatally. She was taken home and
at last accounts she had about entirely
recovered.
Family Reunion.
A most delightful reunion of rela
tives occurred at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Koehnke last Sunday and
Monday, lasting from one year to
another at giving those present a
chance to witness the metamorphosis
of the death of '05 and the birth of '06
in the congenial company of the family
circle. Many were the good things
spread upon the hospitahle Koehnke
board, and the utmost of joy was
manifest throughout the happy oc
casion, the only mar being the regret
able fact that Mr. and Mrs. Koehnke
are soon to leave Plattsmouth and
make their home in Plainview, Neb.
Those present were:
Messrs and Mesdames J. J. Svoboda,
sr., J. J. Svoboda, jr., Chris Koehnke,
Geo. Horn of Hay Springs, Neb., with
their children; W. J. Bookmeyer, wife
and son; Frank Svoboda of Lawrence,
Neb.; Rev. Father Bedmas, of Crete,
and the host and hostess and their
son Marx.

Miss Marshall Entertains.
Miss Edna Marshall entertained the
members of the choir at her home Fri
day. A delightful two course lunch
eon was served at the table, which
was pleasingly spread and lighted with
many candles. About the board the
most delightful fellowship of life is
found.
The table was spread to accommo
date eighteen guests, and with its
tasty decorations of center pieces and
cantalabras upon the highly polished
top, certainly carried a very pleasing
appearance. In pale light from the
candles the merry party enjoyed the
many good things prepared for them
by their fair hostess, leader and in
structor. The invited guests were: Mesdames
Burton, Salsbury, Farley; Douglas,
Donnelly. Messrs. Twitchell, McEl
wain, Barger and Clarence White.

We regret to announce to our readers
that the price of diamonds has gone
up again, and winter right here! A
diamond today is worth a third .more
tnan it was a year ago, with a promise
of still higher prices. We can stand
the advance in eggs, turkeys and Irish
potatoes, but when diamonds go up
it's too tough.
