Mayor Brow n, of Lincoln, late demo cratic-candidate for congress,e.vplained to the Lincoln Journal yesterday that when he said the night before that the special congressional election held on Tuesday last was but a trial heat and that it was all illegal, that he was merely joking and that he did not mean that he would insist on another battle of the ballots to till this oflice. He said further : "I made my run and I have had enough. The nomination was forced on me and put up to me in such a way that I could not decline it. I never wanted to run for congress and I real ized all the time that in the First dis trict a democrat had no show. The pops did not vote for me and some democrats did not vote at all. I got a numlK'rof republican votes. You may say for me that I do not want another congressional contest. If a man wins the oft ice is not worth the effort. "A personal friend of Mayor Brown and a man who had something to do with the mayor's campaign, said that the populists have left the democrats and that they are voting the republi can ticket now." This paper does not believe what this personal friend of Mayor Brown says. The populists in Lancaster county might have left the democratic party, but in this county we know of several as true populists as ever breathed the breath of life who voted for Mr. Brown, and that money can't induce them to vote with the republi can party. They are of that class, however, who are honest in their con victions, and would rather . remain away from the polls than go and vote for a republican who endorses the pro tective tariff and trust ridden party, As one of the oldest populists in this county remarked yesterday morning, I voted for Fresident Roosevelt be cause I thought he would stick to his text more closely, but I am afraid he is backsliding to a considerable extent and will eventually fall into the hands of the enemies of good government No true populist can act with the republican party and be true to his principles.

The feeling of impending doom in the minds of many victims of Brigbt's disease and diabetes have been chang ed to thankfulness by the benefit de rived from taking Foley's Kidney Cure it will cure incipient Bright's disease and diabetes and even in the worst cases gives comfort and relief. Slight disorders are cured in a few days. "I had diabetes in its worst form," writes Marion Lee of Dunreath, Ind, "I tried eight physicians without relief. Only three bottles of i oley s Kidney Cure made me a well man." F. G. Fricke & Co. CASTOR I A Por Infant! and Children. The Kind You Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of ' Plattsmouth People on tfce Pacific Coast Enjoy Themselves on the Fojrth. Some good fri-nd among the large number .f Piattsmouth people who now reside on the Pacific Coast sends the Journal a copy of the Long B'-ach (Cal. ) Dailv Press, giving the follow ing account of a reunion of a largt number of former residents of tin city who are now making their homes at various points in California. Some of these people have resided in that state for seveial years, while others have gone there within the past year. They, no doubt, enjoyed the meeting, and talked over Plattsmouth. her peo ple, and especially friends of former days : "On the Fourth of July M. B. Mur phy and family of this city gave a pic nic party on the beach to a party of people now in California, all of whom were former residents of Plattsmouth, Cass county, ebraska. They had a very delightful time. In the party were: Arthur Clark, wife anu family; J. Finley Johnson, wile and son; Ben ton Brown, wife and family: Frank T Davis, wife and family; Wade Davis, wife and family; James Patterson, wile and family; Robert Brown and Thomas Brown, all of Los Angeles Morgan Brown, wife and family, of Riverside; L. D. Bennett and wife, Arthur Helps and wife, Charles B Murphy, wife and son, M. B. Murphy and wife, all of Long Beach. The only guest not from Plattsmouth was Miss M. J. Ableson, a teacher in a college in Colorado, who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Murphy." Cass County is Wealthy. The county treasurer's report for the six months ending July 1, 1W5, has just been issued and is of a most satisfactory nature. The balance on hand is $f)4.941.(8 Only $2,24.01 of this is state money. Two years ago, July 1, 1903, there was a balance of 70,573.12 but against this there was about $20,000 of out standing registered warrants. At present there are no outstanding war rants. They have all been paid off. The county owes not a penny and has over $90,000 in its treasury. The general fund of the county has $21,025.20 and the school fund $25,521.- 92 The total receipts for the six months covered by this report were $177,688. 40. What's the matter with Cass county? A Novel Marriage Ceremony. A gentleman who had brought in the election returns from one of the western precincts, was in the Journal office last night, and in talking with a number of other gentlemen, related the following story which he says is the fact: Last fall we elected a justice of the peace who never had served in that capacity. He didn't want the otliee, but was finally induced to ac cept the nomination on both tickets and of course was unanimously elected. As soon as he was elected, he began to study up, and get ready for business. Just about the time he thought he had prepared himself good and ready for business, along comes a young man to secure his services in performing a marriage ceremony. This was the first call for business,and he had never dreamed of marrying anyone, but he finally told the young man he would be on hand at the time designated for the happy event. The day arrived, and believing that he had gotten the words to use down pat, he donned his Sun day-go-to-meeting clothes and pro ceeded to the home of the parents of the bride. Quite a large number of guests had already arrived when the justice got there. When he looked around and saw the number of those in attendance he began to get a little nervous, but determined at all haz zards to perform his mission. Finally everything was in readiness, and when the bridal couple and attendants filed in, he bravely met them in the center of the room and proceeded: "Do you each solemly swear that you will obey the constitution of the United States and oi the great state of Nebraska, and to perform your duties to the best of your ability, so help you, God?" Here a sort of a snicker was heard, but notwithstanding the justice got red in the face, he went on: "Then by the power in me rested, by the strong arm of law, 1 pronounce you man and wife, now and henceforth and forever you will stand committed until the fine and costs are paid, and may the Lord have mercy on your souls." The ceremony stood just the same, but it was several moments after refresh ments were served before he was told of his error. He thought when the laugh went around the room, it was simply a part of the congratulations extended to the happy couple. But our informant says he has married several couples since, and has done the work like a an old hand at the busi ness. Cottonwood Lumber for Sale.

That Which Accompanied the Excursionists From Omaha Sunday. SHERIFF McBRIDE ARRESTS ONE MAN About Fifteen Gambling Perices Yere Kept From Opening Up. PLENTY OF AMUSEMENT FOR EVERYONE Two special t rains arrived over the Missouri Pacific railroad Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, bringing the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen ex cursion from Omaha. The trains stopiel at Streight's pasture, about two miles north or town, and every body alighted and hastened to the shady groves. There everything had a picnic ap pearance. Tulene Bros, merry-go-round was already in operation, and a dancing Moor, about 40 feet square, had been constructed. Next in import ance was the booze dispensary, where several waiters were kept jumping all day supplying the thirsty. The gyp sies were there with two tents and half a dozen children and dogs. Then there was the shooting gallery lady and the hit-the-nigger, baby-with-the base-ball device, the roast beef sand wich man, the man selling pink lemon ade out of a galvanized iron tub, and the paper fan man, and all the rest of the picnic attendants. The Tri-city band of fifteen pieces came along from Omaha and furnished music for the dancing all day long. From 2 till 4 o'clock the athletic events were contested. There were about 20 events altogether, including, beside the time honored fat man's race, sack race, potato race, etc., and the prize for the best waltzers. There were probably 1,500 people on the grounds, half of whom came from Omaha, the other half from Platts mouth and the neighboring farms. Several carryalls were busy all day car rying people to and from the grounds; scores of buggies and carriages made the trip, and many walked out. The crowd that came from Omaha had a large sprinkling of the tough element. Not more than half of them were railroad men. Those in charge of the affair had made arrangements several weeks ago with Sheriff McBride to pay him for the services of three deputy sheriffs for duty at the picnic. ccordingly he appointed R. W. Hyres, Mr Petty and Nels Murray. The sheriff and his deputies reached the grounds an hour after the trains ar rived. At that time they found fif teen gambling devices, some in course of installment, others already running There was everything, from the rou lette wheel to the time honored three shell game. The sheriff closed all the gambling devices as soon as he reached the grounds. There was a storm of pro test, but McBride was not to be put off or circumvented. Three negroes, who had erected a crap shooting shrine some distance from the ground behind a clump of trees, were not discovered for a short time, but they, too. were eventually closed up. Sheriff McBride and his deputies stayed there all day and kept order. In the evening those in charge refused to pay for their ser vices because they had compelled the gamblers to close up. Railroad men as a class are law abiding, generous people, but when they allow their outings and picnics to be overrun by the tough and law less element of a city they do them selves a great injustice, and appear in a false light. In spite of this the day passed with out much friction. The shooting gal lery lady caused some excitement toward evening when she discovered that two prize "gold" watches were missing. But these were found later on the person of her husband, who was sleeping on the neighboring hillside. The party broke up about dusk, and by 9 o'clock the grounds were de serted. 9 jjers For hard colds, bronchitis, asthma, and coughs of all kinds, you cannot take any thing better than Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Cherry Pectoral.
