run over by a switch engine. He was a
resident of riattsmouth for several
years, and a brief account of his career
will be read with considerable Interest
by his former acquaintances In this
city, which is taken from the Lincoln
Journal:

THE SLOCUM LAW IN DANGER
Horror and Dismay at Supreme Court Find
ing in Liquor Case.
The Lincoln News says: In thecase
of J. A. Chapin against the county of
Seward, tiled In the supreme court to
day, the court will have an opportun
ity to pass upon the constitutionality
of the law which provides thiit a com
plaining witness against a saloonkeeper
is entitled to one-fourth the amount
of the line taxed up against the de
fendant. Chapin, who was the com
plaining witness against a saloon
keeper, brought suit for one-fourth of
the amount of the line assessed, lie
lost the case and brought It to the su
preme court, where he again lost, and
the case is now back on rehearing.
In the brief filed the attorneys for
Chapin claim the former decision of
the court practically nullities the Slo-
cum law. The brief deplores the opin
ion of the court in the following language:
"We wish we were able to portray to
the court the horror and dismay which
the opinion has created In the minds
of the law abiding citizens who are
concerned, specially In the enforce
ment of the liquor laws of Nebraska."

it. wn thought last week that the
mnallDox scare was about over
Elmwood, but later reports are to the
effect that Instead of abating new

the many friends of the family In this
city will regret to learn.
The Water Question.
Mavor Gering of riattsmouth, has
by ordinance, served notice on the
Plattsmouth Water Co., that their
twenty year franchise expires March
11, 190(1. The water company claim
they have until l'.)07. It someone will
dig up an old file of twenty years ago
of the Plattsmouth Journal contain
Ing the ordinance, the mattercould be
easily settled. However, our twenty
year Items taken from the Platts
mouth Journal show that the bonds
carried by a vote of 8 to 1, so come to
the Herald for facts Weeping Water
Herald.
It would be a hard matter to dig up
those files, Hro. Olive. It would prob
ably settle the matter to some extent,
could we do so. Hut several years ago,
It will be remembered by many, the
Journal olllce was greatly damaged by
tire, and In that blaze all the Journal
tiles for years were destroyed, conse
qucntly the issues in which said ordl
nance appeared are not come-at-able
Suspicious Characters.
The Dollce were called out to Fred
Muster's place last night by the re
port that a couple of strangers were
prying around Fred's barn. Mr.
Muster is conllned at the St. Joseph
hospital In Omaha taking treatment
for stomach trouble, and John Hart
man has been looking after the pre
mises during his absence.
Yesterday morning three strangers
came to Muster's house and wanted to
buy sonic horses, which they failed to
do, and probably thought they could
borrow them for an Indefinite time,
wlillc John was asleep, but lie proved
to be to. wide awake for them last
night, and they were compelled
clear out empty landed.
The Nebraska Farmer of March 1st,
contains a full report of tho proceed
Ingf of the Hoys and Girls Corn Grow
ing and Cooking contest, held in Lin
coln, December 14th and 15th, and
among the addresses delivered on this
occasion was that of Superintendent
E. L. Rouse, of the Plattsmouth pub
lic schools, which we print below.
While It has been some time since the
address was delivered, It is presented
to the readers of the Journal for the
very fact that it deserveds publication
by the home paper and is splendid
reading for the rising generation:
Superintendent McHrlen: "It seems
that while we have been courteous to
Pennsylvania we should alsobecour
tonus to our own Nebraska. It gives
me pleasure to Introduce to you a No
hraska product and Nebraska farmer
boy. one of the leading educators of
this state, a man of rare good sense,
and wholsthehomllcst man anywhere
In this United States, except W.
llawley Smith Superintendent House
of Plattsmouth.
(Mr. House was received with ap-
plause.)
Mr. House: "Hoys and girls of Ne
braska, Ladies and Gentlemen, and
Fellow Workers: You know that it
seems when a man has to be announced
as the homllest man in all the world,
it is very hard to have some one intro
duce him that way, when.'after con
trast, lie may be found to lie very good
looking. (Laughter.)
"1 wondered whether I had better
come to tins meeting, mil wnen i
thought of all these boys and girls
here and thought of how long 1 had
been in the state not that I am so
very old, but I was here when 1 was
so young, 1 thought 1 could not miss
the opportunity of being here.
"I may have become like the poll
tii-ian, who, after he had been nonil
nated for otllce, went out among the
farmers in the community where he
exDccted to run for congress, and
thought lie would say the right thing
He said, 'Ladlesand gentlemen of this
audience, I want you to know that 1
was born on the farm; that I was
raised on the farm- in fact, as It were
I grew up between two corn rows
An old farmer back in the audience
yelled out, "Mr. Pumpkins, by thunder
Jerusha'.' (Laughter.)
I do not want you to get that oil
on me. I am proud or the iaci inai i
was born on a Nebraska farm. 1 am
oroudof the fact that I was raised
there what little raising I ever had.
"I remember the days that the sun
would get dim and wc would get glass
and smoke it, then gaze through It at
the sun. liy so doing people would
get sore eyes. I remember a physician
saying of some one who had sore eyes
that 'All the matter of him is that
he has 'grasshopper eyes.' He made
his eyes sore by looking up to see II
the grasshoppers had come. I remem
ber the days when they did conic to
this state, when the grasshoppers
would light n a field of corn In the
morning, and the next morning there
was nothing left of that corn Held ex
cept some blackened stumps about
two feet high. That would be all that
wc had left of our corn and all we
would have for the winter in the way
of bread.
"This is the reason I came up here,
chlelly to sec if you boys and girls can
make as good corn bread as my mother
used to make from necessity.
"I am glad the speaker before me
emphasized the fact that these boys
and girls are doing something, it Is
well to continue to learn 'from your
beginnings in corn growing and corn
cooking.
"You have splendid opportunities to
continue your education in surround
ings which although not similar to all,
yet equal, and such that country and
city boys and girls may stand together
In etllclcncy and culture.
"I wish to say to the hoys and girls
of the country do not become dissat
isfied with living out there and going
to school out there. The best teach
ers 1 ever had were teachers out In the
country schools, and 1 am sure I
learned most In the winter months
that I went to school there because I
was kept busy.
"Getau education; live happily; he
contented; and you will be useful citi
zens." (Applause.)
Wants Promotion.
The Lincoln Journal says: "Dr.
James L. Greene, superintendent of
the Lincoln hospital for the Insane,

liy special phone message from Mnr
ray the Journal Is advised of the sud
den ileal Ii of John West, who expired

The deceased has been a resident of
Jass county for thlrty-tlve years, and
was highly respected by all who who
knew him. On the -2d of February
last he celebrated Ins sixty-fourth an
niversary. He was one of our most In

MORE OF THE JAIL BREAKERS
THE DOLLAR DEMO
CRATIC BANQUET
One of the Largest Gatherings of Represen
tative Democrats Ever Assembled
In the State of Nebraska.
Tuesday night at Lincoln there assein
bled at the Lincoln Hotel one of the
largest and most enthusiastic gather
ings of democratic hosts that has ever
been known In the history of Nebras
ka. Every nook ami corner of the
state was represented, and not only
tills, but It seemed that every corner
and section of Cass county was repre
sented, and the Journal representa
tive was most happily surprised to see
our own county so woll represented.
Among those we noticed present were
J. M. Stone and'M. G. Kline of Ne
hawka; M. M. Straub of Avoca; L. G.
Longhorst, George S. Caruahau, Jos
eph Mullen, John G. Stark, William
ltuster and Floyd Wooleott of Elm
wood; W. It. Panning of Union; W. D.
Wheeler, W. E. llosencrans, John D.
Mel'.rlde, D. ( . Dwyer, II. D. Travis
and M. A. Hates of riattsmouth.
There were several others w hose names
have slipped our memory. In all then;
were Just twenty-six present from
Cass county, it was pleasing lo note
with what enthusiasm State Chalr
inan Allen realized this fai t. In fact
In a Critical Condition.
The Journal regrets to learn that Its
old friend, W. J. Laughlln, Is now In a
very critical condition from the effects
of hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr. Laugh
lln is now a resident of Ashland, but
all his lauded Interests remain In CasH
county, lie will be Id years of age
this mouth, and It Is feared he cannot
survive another attack. He Is one of
the most loyal men to his friends that
ever drew breath, and his friends are
legion. The Journal hopes ho will
soon recover, as such citizens are hard
to number.
GEORGE PERRY IS INJURED
Had the Misfortune to Fall From i Load
of Hay Tuesday Afternoon.
AND HAS BEEN UNCQNSCOUS SINCE
it Seems the Louisville Officers Had a
Hard Time With Them. j
Louisville special to the Lincoln
Journal, under date of Tuesday says:
"Last night City Marshal Johnson
captured two of the jail breakers that
dug through a wall and escaped from
the Omaha Jail one night last week.
Yesterday morning two plain drunks
wire locked up in the city jail and
during the afternoon tlie marshal re
leased them if they would leave town.
They boarded a freight but In the
evening were back In town again.
During the meantime the marshal
discovered that they had dug a hole in
the jail and would have been out with
In a snort time harl they not been re
leased. Thisset the marshal to think
ing and when they returned he im
mediately kicked them In a cage In the
Jail and telephoned the description of
the men to Omaha and received word
to hold them as they were wanted
badly. During the night one of the
prisoners made an excuse that he had
to step outside and on the marshal
opening the door the prisoner knocked
him down and then ran down the
alley. He was followed by Dick Heyer
who shot at him four times before he
fell to the ground and yelled "I'm
killed." The marshal and his deputy
carried him back to the Jail and
doctor was summoned but the man
had not been hit at all. The Omaha
authorities came after the prisoners
and took them back to the Douglas
county jail. The prisoners were John
Ilcrry and J. J. Huckley."
MISS ALICE DOVEY'S ILLNESS
every county In Nebraska was repre
seted by from three to ten democrats.
The writer has attended numerous
democratic hanquets and conferences,
but never hi our political career of
forty years, have we attended a larger
or a more enthusiastic gathering of
the democratic hosts than wc did on
this occasion. Hepubllcans present
acknow leged that the large attendance
was a surprise to them and that it
bore the appearance of "something do
ing" in tho democratic ranks of Ne
braska. An eloquent address were delivered
by Hon. P. E. McKillip, one of the
most brilliant young mm In the state,
lie was followed by Hon. II. Hanks of
Otoe county, who delivered a most ex
cellent speech. Hon. A. C. Nhiilcn-
bargor, a former men. her or congress
told many truths regarding the repub
lican pariy in itsell'orts to steal dem
ocratic principles, ami palm the same
oil on the unsuspect ing voters for re
publicanism. Hon. George W. Kerge
was there and spoke upon the su! jeet
of corporation rule and free passes,
Mr. P.erge was In one of his most hap
py moods and delivered some telling
blows to the manner in which the af
fairs of the state were being adminis
tered by the republican party. W. II
Thompson's address on "Equality He-
fore the Law," was one of the best of
the evening, as was also that of Hon.
, M. Hitchcock of the World-Herald
It would be impossible for the Jour
nal to do justice to the excellent
speeches of the two visitors from oth
er states--ex-Governor Charles. S.
Thomas of Colorado, and General
James 11. Weaver of Iowa-whose
speeches were masterpieces, and were
received with many outbursts of ap
plause, and consequently wc shall not
attempt to do so in this brief notice of
the greatest conference of democrats
ever held in the state.
The toastmaster, P. L. Hall, proved
himself "the right man in the right
place," and in his opening remarks
gave the democrats many kind words
of encouragement. Mr. Hall Is one of
the best democrats in the state and
his words arc always golden with all
members.
The state committee were in session
a short time previous to the confer
ence, and left the date for the state
convention with the executive com
mlttee.
Is Improving.
We are pleased to learn that George
Perry, who was Injured Tuesday after
noon, lias regained consclouncss altho'
his left arm and neck are still para
lyzed. Mr. Perry Is confined at the
home of John Kraeitcr, and if he
continues to Improve, he will be re
moved to his home Sunday.
An Afternoon Wedding.
A marriage license was issued Tues
day to Wllford George Campbell,
age 27, of South Hend, and Myrtle
Swindell, age 20, of Atlanta, Neb.
Justloe of the Peace Archer performed
the ceremony for the above couple at
LTOTucsday afternoon. The bride was
dressed In white and the groom a In
black suit.
s In a Critical Condition, His Neck and
Shoulders Being Paralyzed.
While hauling a load of hay on his
place, about eight miles west of town,
Tuesday afternoon the horses were
frightened, causing George l'erry
to lose his balance anil fall from
1 1 it load, striking the ground
with his head ami shoulders, render
ing him unconscious. Dr. Stuart Liv
ingston was summoned at once, and
he and Dr. T. I'. Livingston are now
attending the Injured man, who lias
part hilly revived, but still Is in a semi
conscious slate, his neck ami shoulders
being paralyzed from theelTectsof the
fall. August Gorder, a son-in-law of
the Injured man, wascalled this morn
ing as soon as he returned from Louis
ville. The Journal sincerely hopes
that Mr. l'erry will revive rapidly
from the accident.
Developed Into Typhoid Fever, but In
Mild Form Is Coming Home.
Mrs. George Dovey Informs the
Journal Tuesday that the latest word
from Miss Alice, who is 111 In Louis-
vile, Ky., Is to the effect that while
the young lady really had typhoid
fever, it was rortunately in a very
mild form, and that she Is slowly but
surely convalescing. Mrs. Dovey had
contemplated going to her daughter':
bedside this week, but will now wait
until next week and will then remain
until she can bring Miss Alice home
which will lie In about three weeks,
Miss Dovey will of course be unable
to resume her Important roll this sea
son in "inc l.and or .oi, out ner
sister, Miss Ethel, will till the part
during the balance of the engagement.
Plattsmouth people will be glad to
know that the fair Alice Is not dan
gerously 111, and also that she will be
"liome again" before very long.

"Miss Bob White."
The clitic of the hnaha World-Her
ald gives the following "roast" for the
henctit of those who played "M iss Hob
White" in that city this week. The
Misses Alice, ami Ethel Dovey, of this
city, were connected with this com
pany for a short time, and while with
It made this play quite popular with
theatre-goers, but It would seem since
these two young ladles had quit the
company it has ceased to pleas- the
people, and Isgradually going to pieces.
The article says:
"To a casual observer seated In tho
vast recesses of F.oyd's theatre last
night it seemed as if more people left
during the play than entered liefore
the curtain was rung up on the lirst
act, if such a thing were possible. It
was hard to Maine the man who grab
bed up his hat with a pained expres
sion (mi his face and did a quick coun
termarch up the aisle toward the exit,
for lie had every reason to do so.
"Miss Hob White was written by a
man who didn't know how and was
staged by Teal, evidently a duck. The
clumsy lyrics and uncertain music vie
with each other in creating distur
bance, while the humor Is of the kind
which has to be pushed over the foot
lights like a bale of hay. There are
only two women and one man In the
cast who know anything aliout the
gentle art of singing, while tlie entire
female contingent would experience
some (lilllculty In selling liieir por
traits to a patent medicine company
to be used as reeommendath ns. The
best way to treat Miss Hob White Is to
keep It dark an ! say nothing. Why
the affair has lived this long Is a deep,
dark mystery.
"There Is a long, vacuous-looking
fellow In the company so tall that
his head bumps on the border lights
who has a pretty good idea of what
fun Is. If he had anything at all fora
background against which to work he
would be exceedingly laughable, for In
many ways he isan excellent comedian.
As it Is one seizes upon him In the
same manner as a drowning man
clutches at a straw and experiences
the desire to weep upon his shoulders
and sympathize with him. lie Is the
only drop of ginger in the whole dis
mal thing. Ills name Is either Mc-
Clureor Hurnham the program care
fully conceals which.
A deep bass voice of great power
and sweetness recommends Joseph
Leighton to notice as one of the few
bright spots In the performance.
What little singing he did was a sin
cere pleasure.
Mae Phelps as the quail -pardon
me, Hob hltc - sink's rattier wen ana
looks like Madame Vale among her
confreres. The rest of the company
-hush!
"Miss Hob White will appear to
night unless Jove loosens his thunder
bolts In righteous wrath."
