The Bridge Case Again. The long contested i'lattsmouth bridg- ca.se is now on for a second hearing in the district court of Mills c-junty, Iowa. It will be remembered that this case was hotly contested in the same court last spring and the jury awarded the plaintiff a judgment for $'.),5X. but later a new trial was granted the railroad company. The widow of William II. Webb sues the Hurlington for l.,000for the death of her husband while employed in the construction of the bridge. Mrs. W ebb is married again and lives now in this city. Grit Will Win. About four years ago, Koy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shepard, left here in company w ith Walter Kockwell, to see the world and try to get some thing to 'do. Walter -Kockwell cam back to Weeping Water, "but Koy'went to work for the C, B. & Q. railway in Illinois. Since then he has advanced from one position to another, until now he is in charge of an engine, and is located in Creston, Iowa. He is married, has one child, and says he has a home of his own and another one almost paid for. He was sent to Louisville to relieve an engineer, and came down Monday to visit old friends here. He says he would like to live here again. Weeping Water Herald. A New Restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. L W. L. Hule, of Sioux City. Iowa, arrived in the city Thusrday on the lookout for a location f.r a restaurant. After looking around they finally arrived at the conclusion to open up here, and rented the rooms in the rear of the Hund building fac ing the court house on Fourth street. They are n-.w engaged in arranging the same and say they will give our people an up-to-date restaurant. They come highly recommended as lirst dass restaurant people, have the ap pearance as such, and as "there is al ways room for one more," the Journal believes in giving them a chance to show by their work what they can do. They expect to be ready for business on Monday of next week. i How Is This, Anyway?

TO H REBUILT Two Million Dollars to be Expended on the Line Between Atchison and Omaha. The cheerful news come that the officials of the Missouri Tacific are out over their lines in this state making preparations to rebuild the Main line and the branches. An appropriation of two million dollars has been made for the rebuild ing of the main line between Atchison and Omaha. The entire line is to be rebuilt, all rock ballast and new rails. AU'ridges are to be replaced or over hauled and put in a condition so they will need nothing new for at least five years Or perhaps longer. In many places the wood bridges are to be ta ken out and steel bridges put in their place. The road bed will be fixed up equal to any of the eastern roads and nothing but Spound steel rails used. A I! side tracks and branches are to be rebuilt in this part of the state and the road put in first class condition. The material has been ordered for tliis change and will be placed on the ground this winter and as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring work is to begin and pushed as fast as possible until it is completed. There will b? large forces of men put to work all over the system to hurry the work as fast as possible after it has been started. The company has large rock quarries and all w inter long they will work large forces of men in them to get rock out for ballast. II. II.

Monroo and Kd Long, three employes of the I'.urlington railroad at l'aci He Junction on a charge of perjury. These men are employed as switchmen at the Junction: Shreve being yardma.ster. The perjury indictments relate to j affidavits given by the men to support the railroad company's motion for a new trial in the well know n damage ' suit brought against lli eomranv by Edward Hrantner. It will be remembered that at a recent term of the Mills county dis trict court. Hrantner recovered a judg ment for l0.t)0). The attorneys for the railroad went to woik immediately in an effort to secure a new trial, and these affidavits were made partially to assist the attorneys in their efforts. The affidavits charged Matthew (Ber ing of this city and Sherley (Jilliland of ( Jlenwood, with attempting to in lluence a juror in a wrongful manner. The proceedings all through the trial in this matter sho ws to what des peratioi it ha:-; been fo defeat th'.s in jured man out of what is justly due mm- ul-- muicimeius are a par- tin! li'siilr of the rvtent of their des- - - P'-iation.

The crime of per- ! jury is a serious one, and lias landed many a one behind the prison bars. j The tallies have evidently turned in a different direction from what was intended when these affidavits were sworn to. Wili Not Rernove WorRs- A few days since the Journal pub lished an item to the effect that the Baldwin Locomotive works were going to move from Philadelphia to the west either to Kansas City or St. Joseph. This spurred up the Plattsmouth Com mercial club to the extent that a let ter was immediately addressed to the company by the secretary of the club inviting them to send a representative to Plattsmouth before they decided upon a location. This brought the following reply, which was addressed to the Plattsmouth Commercial club: Philadelphia, Nov. 21, 1905.

It was found that he went over to Shenandoah the same evening with the letter, and by Fri day was in Clarinda under a different name. 1 1 is clear that while there he had intercepted the letter to Hanks, wrote a reply and enclosed a forged check for '200 signed by Charles Hanks on the Commercial Savings bank of that city, and mailed it to William Orr.

POLLARD FAILS TO LAND In the First Dash Out of the Box He Fails In His Request. The staff correspondent of the Oma ha Bee, writing from Washington has the following to say about our very "eminent" congressman: "Congress man Pollard is rapidly learning the ways of members of the lower house Today he had his first seance with Mr, Cannon who will be the next speaker of the house, largely to talk over the subject of committee assignments. Mr. Pollard is young, active and viril and if there are any good things to be had for the First Nebraska district and the state he wants to get his share. The talk with Speaker Connon, hewever, was not productive of that peace of mind Mr. Pollard had antici pated. In fact the speaker - told Mr. Pollard that he had better amend his wishts as to committee assignments and bring them within the possibili ties. Mr. Pollard modestly asked for a place on the committee on agricul ture, but "Uncle Joe" showed him there were no vacancies on the repub lican side of the committee, that cus tom warranted the re appointment of those orf the committee unless they personally desired other assignments. Mr. Pollard will begin a systematic study of committee places now that he has had a heart-to-heart talk with the speaker with a view of getting the best committee position possible. The congressman from the First district is frank enough to r.ay that he never reasoned what a scramble it is to get good committee places on the part of new men. He has courage, however, and nothing daunted will see "Uncle Joe" in a few days with some new- thoughts.''

If the weather continues two weeks a.s nils t.ceii ior tne oast .nr ther new will be an immense amount ot idowalks put down and nice substantial crossings put down. Also, some good work put upon the streets. The only interferancf! will be the weather. The city authorities are go ing at this matter with the rigid I spirit and in the right manner. It property owners fail to do their duty in this respect, the city will do it for them and then make them pay for what they should have done without compulsion. Tiie city is no respector of person in doing this work. Coming in Rapidly.

Fremont Herald Changes Hands. Edgar Howard and Mark Perkins of the Columbus Telegram, have bought the Fremont nerald and will take charge of the same next Monday. Mr. Howard is to be the editor and Mr. Perkins the business manager. In the opinion of the Journal the Herald has at last fallen into the hands of the proper parties. Edgar Howard is a good match for Ross Hammond every day in the week and Sunday, too, and that gentleman will find in Edgar a foe not so'easily to conquer. Man With Broken Neck Lying in Immanuel hospital at Omaha, bound hand and foot by paralysis, John Herzog is one of the few men who have survived with a broken neck. Nearly four months have now passed since the accident which brought him to the hospital and a turn has now come in his condition which promises ultimate recovery. It has settled simply into a matter of waiting for the nervous forces which deserted him at the time of the ac cident to return.
