farmer we conversed with on the insti

prominent tillers of the soil have sig

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.

M. P. R. R. 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.

jury against ;efrre Shreve, Illmer 11.
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

mm- ul-- muicimeius are a par-

induced to make these affidavits will i
perhaps have t i su il'er the consequences ;
of being "duped.'' 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.
Gentlemen Acknowleding receipt
of your favor of the 18th inst., the re
ports referred to are unfounded. We

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.''

Coming in Rapidly.
According to the Lincoln Journal
State Treasurer Mortensen reported
$ij0,000 in the temporary school fund

and the treasurer expects the total to
reach $200,000 by the time the appor

pleasing because it was not thought
that the amount would equal the De

which it will if $260,000 is apportioned.
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.

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.

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

Woodmen Convention Postponed.
Owing to a misunderstanding among
the head men of the Woodmen of the
World, the district convention which
was to Lave been held in this citys'atur
day has been postponed to Thursday,
December 14th. There were quite a
number of visiting Woodmen here to
day, but owing to the absence of those
who were misinformed as to the date
of the meeting, it was thought best to
postpone the same to the date men
tioned. Mrs. Swearingen Entertains.

gathering Monday evening. Music and
cards were indulged in after which' a
two-course luncheon was served. Those

E. W. Cook, T. II. Patterson, F. A .
