The Louisville Bridge.
While in Louisville the other day
we noticed that nothing had been done
in the way of repairing the bridge
spanning the Platte river at that
place and why, we have not been able
to learn. In other sections of the
county when high water takes away a
bridge the commissioners are generally
on the alert to have it replaced. The
people of Louisville are not to blame
fur these lloods, and the merchants
of that town have lost considerable
trade in consequence of the present
condition of the bridge. And the
Jo lmal can't fathom any reason why
the commissioners have not paid some
attention to this matter ere this.
This bridge lias not only been a con
venience to those who live in the
town, but it is a public highway and
much traveling is done over this
bridge when in proper shape. The
Journal would like to see the commis
sioners take some action in this mat
ter at the next meeting. Throw aside
vour prejudices, if you h:ive any, and
give this matter proper attention,
Louisville is in Cass county and have
the same rights as other sections, that
should be respected.

To Candidate Pollard.
To Ernst M. l'ollard, republican
nominee for congress in the First
Nebraska district:
Your opponent in the congressional
campaign was nominated on a plat
fonn whicn contains this plank:
We congratulate President Iloo.se
velt upon his rejection of the tariff
barons' plea that protection should be
employed as a guide for extorting un
fair prices from the American con
sumer. We commend him for his or
der that supplies for the Panama canal
will be purchased in other markets if
such a course be necessary to avoid
the imposition on the part of the
special interests so long protected by
the republican party.
Mayor Brown, in his Nebraska City
speech, pledged himself unequivocally
to that platform, and particularly to
the plank quoted. He pledged his
vote and his earnest elTorts to sustain
the president's Panama policy.
Vour platform, Mr. Pollard, dodged
the issue the president has raised.
Vou yourself have thus far preserved
a discreet silince upon this issue.
Why not take the people whom you
seek to represent into your confi
dence? Where do you stand, Mr. Pollard?
Are you for the president or against
him upon this question?
The New Vork Commercial for
June 21 states that Rogers L. Farn
ham, a director of the Panama rail
road, is already in England, represent
ing the government, purchasing canal
supplies. It states that he has com
pleted negotiations for the purchase
of a 5,000-ton English ship. Editorial
ly it denounces this course, and pre
dicts that cougress, being "strongly
protectionist," will "respond prompt
ly with some remedial legislation"
to compel the purchase of all canal
supplies in the United States at what
ever price the trusts may choose to
extort.
The question will undoubtedly come
before congress. Where will you
stand? Will you be for the president,
or will you be for the trusts? Omaha

THIS IS CERTAINLY VERY DEBATABLE
The Woman Stoned and the Man Taken
Back Into Society.
Two years ago, in a little village in
southwestern Nebraska, the popu
lace was scandalized by the dis
covery of unlawful relations between
a prominent business man and the
wife of another citizen. The husband
of the erring woman immediately ap
plied for and was granted a divorce.
The wife of the erring man also pro
cured a divorce. The business man
kept on at his business. The social
leaders frowned upon him for a little
while, but later he was taken back in
to the best of circles, and only yester
day, according to the telegrams to the
city newspapers, he was united in
marriage with the daughter of one of
tl e leading families in the village
where he lives. All the city attended
the church wedding, and everybody
vied w ith everybody to honor the man
who hut two short years ago had been
guilty in all eyes of a great crime.
Hut what became of the woman who
was his partner in the crime? From
the day of her dow nfall she was an un
clean thing in the eyes of society in
that little village, All the doors of
decency were closed against her. Her
foot might not press a threshhold over
which her partner in crime received a
hand of welcome. Shunned by all her
companions of the year, regarded as
an outcast by those whe had been her
social mates, with never an out
stretched hand to help, nor voice to
cheer, she took her littlegirl of tender
years and moved to a distant city,
where, neglected and unknown, she
earns her bread with the needle.
Seems cruel and wrong, doesn't it,
that one criminsl should be debased
and the other exalted. Edgar How
ard, in Columbus Telegram.
"Wanted A Man."
The world has a standing advertise
ment over the door of every profession,
every occupation and every calling:
"Wanted A man!"
Wanted a man who is larger than
his calling, who considers it a low esti
mate of his occupation to value it
merely as a means of getting a living.
Wanted a man who sees self-development,
education, discipline and drill,
character and manhood in his occupa
tion. A thousand business positions va
cant in every city: five thousand men
idle in the same city, while a thousand
employment agents scour the land for
men to till those same vacant positions
and scour in vain, is a sufficient indi
cation of the largeness of the oppor
tunities of the age, and also of the cry
ing need for good men.
Wanted a man who is w ell balanced
who is not cursed with some defect or
weakness which cripple his usefulness
and neutralizes his powers.
Wanted a man who is contented to
win his victories in practical every day
life.
The whole world is looking for the
right kind of a man. Although there
are a million out of employment, yet
it is almost impossible to find just the
right man in almost every department
of life. Every profession and every oc
cupation has a standing advertisement
all over the world: "Wanted A man."

our best and make the most of our op
portunities. The Children's Favorite.

IS KILLED WHILE AT WORK
Charles Hoskins Swept From an Engine
and Fatally Injured.
DIED ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 11:30
Had Been a Faithful Employe of the Bur
lington for Twenty-four Years.
WAS BELOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM
Charles C. Hoskins, who was injur
ed in the railroad yards at Pacific
Junction Saturday evening, died at
11:30 o'clock yesterday morning at the
Perkins House in this city.
The fatal accident occurred at 7:10
Saturday evening. Mr. Hoskins
worked on the night shift. During
the earlier part of the night he acted
as fireman on the switch engine. Sat
urday night he met his engine in
charge of the night engineer as it was
coming along a stretcli of track run
ning beside the company's wood pile.
As the locomotive reached him he
leaped upon the footboard. Hardly
had he reached this position when a
heavy Jog, which had been allowed to
stick out too far from the pile of wood
caught him, sweeping him from the
moving engine. He was thrown to
the ground, falling upon his back, his
right shoulder and neck across the
track.
Hearing his cry the engineer ap
plied the air-brakes and came to a
stop within a very short space. The
injured man was carefully taken from
beneath the wheels. It was at once
apparent that his injuries were seri
ous. .His face was pale as death, but
he retained consciousness and talked
rationally. He asked at once for his
wife. A message was sent for her. A
stretcher was quickly secured and the
injured man placed upon it.
A train from Kansas City had just
pulled in. The engine was quickly
pressed into service to bring the injur
ed man to Plattsmouth.
Some delay was occasioned in find
ing a car in w hich the stretcher could
be placed. A way car was first tried
but the door would not admit the lit
ter. It was fully an hour after the
accident when the injured man was
placed in a baggage car and hurried
at express speed to Plattsmouth. Mrs.
Hoskins, Mrs. Shreeve, wife of the
yardmaster at Pacific Junction, and a
number of his fellow employes accom
panied him. .He was attended by Dr.
L. B. Bacon. Arriving here the
stretcher was placed in a light wagon
and conveyed to the Perkins House,
that being the nearest available place.
Drs. T. P. and J. S. Livingston ar
rived in a short time and an examina
tion was made. The muscles of the
upper part of the arm were severed
and the bones in the arm and shoul
der crushed. The doctors saw at once
that the unfortunate man was beyond
their aid. They could only make his
last hours as comfortable as possible.
The Knights of Pythias lodge, of
which Mr. Hoskins was a member,
left a man here to render what service
he could. All through the night the
injured man lingered, bearing the
pain with wonderful fortitude and
evidencing the most remarkable vital
ity, nis wife was with him nearly all
the time.
Sunday morning the dying man ask
ed for a minister. Iiev. J. E. Houl
gate, pastor of the Methodist church,
was summoned and administered the
last sacraments. At 11:30 life was ex
tinct. The body was at once removed to
to the undertakering establishmedt of
Streignt & Streight where it was pre
pared for burial. It was placed on the
4:30 train and taken to Pacific Junc
tion. The funeral will take tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, and interment
made in the Glenwood cemetery.
"Charlie" Hoskins was fifty years of
age. He was known by hundreds of
people and everyone who knew him
was his friend. That was his nature
It was impossible to know Mr. Hoskins
without feeling an attachment for
him. He took a personal interest in
his friends.
He leaves a w ife and three sons, viz:
Glen, Charlie and Noah. The former
two were with him when he died, but
Xoah, who works in a small town in
Kansas, was notable to arrive in time
to see his father alive.
The family will feel the sudden loss
most keenly, for above all else Mr.
Hoskins was domestic in his tastes
and when not at work he was always
to be found at his home.
Mr. Hoskins had been employed by
the Burlington twenty-five years, and
twenty-two years of that time he was
located at racific Junction. For a
long time he was foreman at the round
house, but during the recent cut down
in employes he with others was set
back.
The family have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends.

A VETERAN PLATTS
MOUTH PREACHER
Dr. J. T. Baird for Thirty Years Pastor of
the First Presbyteran Church.
RESIGNS POSITION SO L0N6 OCCUPIED
Gives Way to a Younger Pastor, Upon
Whom the Church Has Not Decided.
PREACHES FAREWELL SERMON SUNDAY
Mr. Baird's life in the Christian min
istry extends over a period of forty
five years. It lias been a noble life
tilled with good deeds and helpfulness
to others. Not only has it been a long
life but an eventful one. It was le
gun when the nation was threatened
with destruction and disruption.
Much of it was spent in the very vor
tex of the turmoil and war. Later his
life was spent on the frontier, where
dangers and discomforts were under
gone to bring the gospel to the pion
eers.
Hev. Baird received his earlier edu
cation in the public schools of Cincin
natti, graduating from the high school
in 134.
He then took up his studies in Vale
University, graduating from there in
18.8. In the fall of the same year he
entered the Theological seminary of
Princeton University. There he pur
sued with diligence his studies to fit
him to preach the gospel of peace ar.d
good will while daily the murmurs
and rumblings of discontent grew
louder through the land and the cloud
of war and violence arose on the hori
zon. And so it happened that in the
spring of IStil, just when the great re
bellion started Rev. Haird graduated
from Princeton and was ordained to
the ministry.
It was not an advantageous time to
enter upon the preaching the gospel
nor was the young pastor's first charge
in the best location. His church was
in Cincinnatti, just on the border line
between the North and South. It re
quired diplomacy to preach at that
time and in such a place. If a pastor
preached freedom there were those
who would get up and go out express
ing their disapproval in no modest
terms, and if he prayed for the presi
dent some were not ashamed to let
tlir disapproval be known.
Here the young pastor also witnessed
some of the events of the war. The
rebels would sometimes get up even
farther north than Cincinnatti and
some of them never got back again.
Ilev. Baird was in Cincinnatti when
that haughty southern gentleman,
General Marmaduke, was marched
ignominiously through the streets, a
prisoner of war.
In 184 Rev. Baird was a member of
the Christian Commission. This was
a body of workers who went -with
Sherman's army on it's historical
march to the sea. They held services,
attended the sick, distributed tracts
and ministered to the dying. In this
capacity Rev. Baird saw much of the
fighting. He jokingly says that he
and General Palmer stood behind the
same tree at the battle of Marietta
Hill. After leaving the army the com
mission made their way back to the
north as best they could, riding on top
of freight cars most of the time.
During these days Rev. Baird had
the privilege of hearing many of the
greatest orators and statesmen of the
day, among them being Wendell
Philips, Henry Ward Beecher and Ly
man Beecher.
In. 1365 the young minister decided
that the west needed him and, leav
ing behind the comforts of civilization
he made his way to the newly opened
territory of Nebraska. Coming up on
the steamboat, he stopped at Brown
ville, then a busy flourishing town.
Here he took up his labors working
hard and devoting his education and
cultured mind to the needs of the
pioneers.
Among the members of his little
flock in Brownville were a future gov
ornor and a United States senator.
The former was Gov. Furness and the
the latter Senator Tipton, the first
representative of Nebraska in the na
tional senate.
In 1875 Rev. Baird removed to
Plattsmouth, where he has since been
located.
The church here at that time was
located on Sixth and Main, where the
Riley Hotel now stands. In 1S90,
when Mr. Riley first proposed building
the hotel, the congregation had to
look about for a new location. The
old church was sold and the present
handsome edifice erected.
Rev. Baird has been a most faithful
pastor here. He seldom took a vaca
tion but was always to be found at his
post of duty.
Rev. Baird can truly say in these,
his latter days: "1 have fought the
good fight; 1 have kept the faith."
Rev. Baird has not definitely decid
ed yet whether he will remain in
Plattsmouth or remove to another
city. The best wishes of all who know
him, go with him wherever he may
be located .
Dr. Baird will preach his farewell
sermon next Sunday and it w ill In; a
sad scene to witness his part Ink' w ith
those who have U'en so long Identified
with him in church atTairs, when he.
steps down from the pulpit for per
haps the last time. It will he hard
for those who have witnessed the
building of the present magnificent
church edifice which has grown to Its
present extensive proportions under
his faithful and excellent administra
tion. Dr. Baird for thirty years pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city lias submitted his resignation to
the. congregation. The congregation
has considered the same and decided to
accept. Next Sunday, upon the 30th
anniversary of his pastorate here, Rev.
Baird will preach his farewell sermon

SWITZER IS HEART FROM
Famous Ashland Saloon Man No In
Seattle, Wash.
Asiila.ni, Neb., June 26. After
many years word has been received
from John Switzer who, in the early
days, enjoyed great notoriety in eastern
Nebraska for his unique methods of
meeting the charges of the temperance
crusade of 174 against his saloon in
Ashland. In that year the Christian
women of the town, in common with
women all over the country, organized
into praying bands for the purpose of
driving the saloons out of business.
This was the impulse that called the
Women's Christian Temperance union
into existence. The frequent and pro
longed visits of the good ladies to his
saloon nettled John Switzer and on one
occasion he routed them by placing
quantities of red pepper on the hot
stove, the bar and the floor, causing
such fits of sneezing that praying was
out of the question. After this the
band of women entered the place no
longer but knelt and prayrd in a semi
circle before the door. Many of the
most prominent women in the place
were in the band, and the seer e al
ways caused great crowds of spectators
to congregate in the street. This
aroused Switzer only the more and he
finally brought things to a climax by
filling a bucket with red paint and
spraying it over the kneeling women
with a squirt gun. Threatened with
arrest and prosecution for breach of
the public peace, the saloonkeeper con
sented to go o it of business and leave
town if the prosecution was dropped.
The man dropped out of sight for
over thirty years and has just been
heard from. From Ashland he drifted
to Denver where he was unsuccessful
and then went to Seattle on foot, ar
riving with fifteen cents in cash. Here
he filed on a homestead, upon which a
part of the city was afterward built,
and embarked in the real estate busi
ness which he still follows. He is now
one of the wealthy citizens of Seattle.
After leaving Ashland he never again
engaged in the saloon business.
