Record is Before the Public.
They are now at the river building a boat
And up Salt river they soon must float,
The way is rugged, when the billows rise,
They were often lifted, as it were, to the skies
The waterman stands by the Captain's side,
And acts, of course, as a friendly guide,
And when they get home they will hear no shout
Of the loud mouth fellows who were set to route.
Come in dear Judge! the keeper calls,
While the Judge is busy looking at the walls,
Up steps the waterman, just see his plight!
Back in old Plattsmouth he had a great fight.
Then the keeper said 'tis no disgrace,
To be here boys in this wretched place
And then with a nod of the head,
Asked the keeper if he could go to bed.
Of course you can, the keeper said,
I have a place prepared for all the dead,
Here is your room of dark despair
No one comes out who enters there.
But Gering now has won the fight,
And you will go into endless night.
The waterman is by our side, acting as your guide,
So if you get thirsty, give him the wink,
And he'll hastily come and furnish you a drink.
The agony is over, and the Jour
nal has no excuses to make for the
course it has pursued in this cam
paign. We are not built that way.
Our course has been approved by
the voters of l'lattsmouth. No
paper ever loses out in a fight for
the whole people. This we have
always done. Corporation money
talked pretty loud in this campaign,
but the people could not be bought.
Judge Newell is a good man, but
he fell into the clutches of the
wrong kind of people. We do not

ELECTED CITY CLERK
believe he endorsed their methods
;in working for him, but how was
! he to help himself after his nomiiia
jtion? He should have seen the
handwriting on the wall before he
accepted the nomination. The Jour
nal bears no ill will against the
judge, but we are satisfied more
than ever that the loud-mouthed
fellows who worked in his interests
done him more harm than good.
The result is a victory for the
taxpayers, and a strong vindication
of Mayor Gering's administration.
The people h ue confidence in him
as a citieu, a business man and
the chief executive of the city.
Here is where the opponents made
a big mistake attacking the record
of a man whose administration has
been so ably conducted. Treaclr
ery on the part of former friends
could not even p!ue the good
record before the people. Henry
R. Gering is the mayor of l'latts
mouth and will continue to bo so
for the next two years, regardless
of ax-grinders and grafters.
In the election of Judge Archer
the office of police judge will be
well looked after. His election,
while a surprise to sonic, is due to
his well known qualifications. The
vote he received is a well deserved
compliment.
The success of Dr. W. 1!. Ulster
is also a deserved compliment to
that geulleiuan. He took no un
due advantage of his opponent, but
made a s.jiure and fair campaign.
The office of city clerk lias fallen
into excellent hands, and the busi
ness of the office will be efficiently
and faithful! v conducted.
The democrats secure three out
of five candidates for eouncilnicn.
The defeat of "Billy" Hassler in
in the First ward is to be regretted.
Democrats secretly "knifed" him.
Thev were tools of the water com-
pany. 1 Hey unew uiey coiuu noi
"work" Mr. Hassler as a member
of the council. W. C. Tippens
was triumphantly re-elected in the
Second, George Dodge was elected
in the Fourth and John I.titz in the
Fifth. J. V. Fgeuberger gave
Steimker a close shave in the Third,
being defeated bv Seventeen voles.
No particular el'lort was made to
elect Mr. Kgciihcrgcr, or he could
i.ive downed the "invincible" in
great shape.
While regretting the defeat of
Billy Hassler and J. V. Fgeuberger,
the election was a great victory for
the democrats of Plattsmouth, and
a complete route for i those who
were endeavoring to defeat Mayor
Gering for purely the sake of get
ting control of municipal affairs
and to run the same to their own
notion.
The taxpayers are fortunate in
the fact that the city affairs will be
conducted on the same economical
methods in the next two years that
they have leen in the past two.
The result of this great fight for
right and justice is greatly due to
the incessant work of the chairman
of the democratic city committee,
Dr. J. S. Livingston, assisted by
the members from each ward.
"Honest methods beget honest
returns" is a good motto for some
of the workers on the part of oppos
ing candidates to adopt in future
elections.

lowered her glass ami turned iiway

might hnvo been liny of these, hut I
could not tell which.
My curiosity was lit once aroused. I
did not remember to liavu ever neon
Uh lady heron mid certainly had no
knowledge of having Injured her. Be

theater nnd stood on the sidewalk
waiting for tier to como out. She did ho

and lady. As soon as they entered their
carriage l went across the sired where

Inter. 1 waited three days and was
about, to give up nil hope of r Ivlng
liny word when ll note came which
read as follows:
Slin-o Mr. rrltcliard lias entirely for
Kntli'ii tlin laily lie Haw lit the theater, lie
need not Mlve himself imy nun ei n with

It Is needless to say that I read these
few words with astonish nt. It was
plain I ) me that 1 had lieeu mistaken
for some one else. However, 1 did lint
care to have the error tmeori led and
wrol'e again, dating that there must
l:e some misapprehension ns In my
Identity nnd begging permission I i rail
ami clear up the mailer. To Ibis 1
received a reply that the mime I had
given In my miles was the same as
that of the person I was supposed In
be; therefore there could not possibly
be any mistake. The lady did not. care
to renew the aeciuiilnlanee of one who
had paid hrr tho highest compliment
mail could pay to woman mid then for
gotten that he had ever met her.
I began to feel that I must have
passed through Home Illness or met
with Home accident that hud Impaired
my memory. I nsked several persons
who had seen nie nearly every day for
yearn If this was the case nnd got
luughcd nt for tny pains. 1 confided my
correspondence to my sister, hut all
the Hympathy I got from her was,
"Thnfs Just like n man fur all the
world."
I was about to write one more note
Inquiring for the lady's name, hut my
sister, who knew the tricks and man
ners of the sex, told me the girl was
teasing, me nnd would give ine no satis
faction; that If I wanted to clear up
the matter I had better call and call
again nnd again till 1 had seen nnd
talked with my tormentor.
Had the girl hern unattractive I
might have dropped the matter. On
the contrary, her Image- that of u girl
with ii fare denoting character as well
ns being pretty seemed to grow upon
uie, and I was literally being teased
Into a condition bordering on the tender
passion. Summoning all my courage, I
culled upon the girl and sent up tny
card. An answer came that the young
lady was not nt home. This might
mean that she was not at home to me
or that she was really out. I culled
twice more on her, nnd each time re
ceived Home message that put me off
without being a positive refusal. Final
ly, on my third call, alio eaino Into the
room nnd stood regarding mo with
whnt she Intended, to bo n haughty
stare. Nevertheless I fancied I could
sec a sparkle In her ryo.
"I beg of you," I said, "cease thl
torment, which hns become unbonrabl.
If, as you say, I hare known and for
gotten you It must bo through some
physical defect on my pnrt, for In
health I am sure I could never forget
having once seen you."
"Did you not oneo live. In K.T" she
Baked.
"Yen; when a lioy."
"And go to tho high school there?"
"Yes."
"And did you not carry books for

"You don't mean"
"And didn't you"-
"Tell her that when we were grown
(die Hhould be? my little wife? Yes, I
did. nml I mn ready to, keep my word."

A Fair Proposition.
In looking over the copy of the re
port of the county commissioners pro
ceedings this week we note the follow
ing: "The board ordered that from now
on the supplying of the county farm
with groceries and provisions shall lie
awarded among the different business
linns of riattsmouth the buying to
be for two months at a time at cacti
place until each have had their turn,
etc."
This In as It should he, and the Jour
nal thinks the county commissioners
have pursued a wise course in making
such an order. For years one tirm in
this city has had a monopoly upon
supplying the county poor farm, and
we think other firms have aright to
part of this patronage. It is only
justice that they should have, as the
sum expended each year for provisions
amounts to several hundred dollars,
and no 11 rm has any more right to It
than others. (Jive them all. a chance.
It is the peoples' money and not that
of an individual that buys these
supplies.
What good does it do you to cat If
your stomach falls to digest the food?
None. It does you harm causes belch
ing, sour stomach, flatulence, etc.
When the stomach falls a little Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure after each meal will
digest what you eat and makes the
stomach sweet. V. G. Frlcke Sc Co.,
