The Missouri Pacific Wreck. The Nebraska City Tribune, speak ing of the wreck on the Missouri Paci fic railroad Sunday night, says: "Traffic on the Missouri Pacitic line was tied up last evening by a freight train wreck some two miles this side of Wyoming. Four cars on freight train No. l.)4, south bound and due in this city about 0:4,") p. m., left the track at a point in the tirst cut north of Graham's mill. The cars which left the track were badly damaged. A force of men were put to work at once clearing away the wreckage. The Missouri Pacitic wrecker from Atchi son passed through the city this morn ing for the scene of the accident. None of the train crew were injured in the wreck. A tramp stealing a ride on the freight was reported to have been badly jarred up by the accident. Since last evening all Missouri Pacitic trains have been sent around by the Talmage branch of the road. The Omaha pas senger train arrived in the city about 2 o'cluck by way of Auburn. The road was cleared this afternoon." Dr. Barnes Must Drop Title. A special from Lincoln, under date of July 24, says: "A. P. Barnes of Plattsmouth, who has been making his living for years as a veterinarian, will no longer use the title of veter inary surgeon after his name, the State Hoard of Veterinarians today having upheld the decision of the State Board of Secretaries, who ruled that Barnes was not entitled to the title. He failed to make the required grade at his examination. Barnes claimed to have been graduated at a college In New York, but that his di ploma bad been destroyed by fire, and as the college had gone out of exist ence be could not get the records. The secretaries, however, compelled him to take the examination and be failed to make good. lie can still practice, but cannot call himself doc tor." Dr. Barnes has practiced bis profession In Southeast Nebraska for twenty years, and has been very suc cessful, and we trust that the simple maneuver of taking the title "Dr." from him, will not In the least Inter fere with the excellent practice he has built up. Another Warning. Hereafter the "opened by mistake" excuse will be a mistake that will cost $200. The post office department has ruled that mall must be looked at before leaving the office, and that any letter put in your box by mistake must be returned before leaving the postoftice under a penalty of fjoo for falling to do so. Gerinj for Governor In summing up the various candi dates for the democratic nomination, the World-Herald pays the following tribute to our efficient mayor: "Vet another possible, if not probable, can didate, whose name Is mentioned with Increasing frequency, is Henry Gering, the popular mayor of Plattsmouth, who, should he consent to enter the race, would prove a formidable factor."

IS IT A BIG BOOMERANG? Congressman Pollard Charged With Making Salary Grab. A special from Lincoln to the World-Herald, published In that paper this morning, says: "Congressman Ernest M. Pollard of Nehawka, is charged with drawing 1, 000 from the public treasury to which he was not entitled. "Lincoln men claim to have docu mentary proof that he drew salary from the public treasury for the period from March 4, r.05, when Elmer J Burkett resigned, to July I, the time he was elected. "Pollard was not nominated by the tirst district conventional Falls City until in May. According to the allegations of his opponents he has asked for pay for the period when he was not even a candidate. "At the Plattsmouth convention tomorrow, it Is stated that resolutions w ill be Introduced asking him to resign or satisfactory explain the alleged salary grab. "Congressman Pollard w as called up at his home in Nehawka tonight. He was told of the rumor and asked to make a statement. "You get it." lie retorted, referring to the statement concerning the ac etisation. He was given a second chance to explain the matter but hung up the telephone receiver with a bang." Washington, 1). C, July 2;.. In- quirleshavc been made of the sergeant at-armswho is the disbursing agent of the house and the auditor of the treasury department, concerning an alleged .salary grab by Congressman Pollard. ( hving to t he stringent rules little can ue learned except the as sertion that the records show that salary was drawn from March 4 to July 1?, 1 !)'. Why Not Hold One Here? This is the Chautauqua season, and in reading accounts of what pleasure the attendants derives from these assembles, makes us feel that Platts mouth is losing considerable by not holding one in this city each season. They are proving a success in other towns and cities and we can't see why one could not be run successfully In Cass county. In Mills county, Iowa, they hold two every season at Glen wood and Malvern, and both are well attended each season. Many of our own people attend these chautauquas every year, and derive a great deal of pleasure In so doing, and why we can not get up interest sufficient to hold one In Cass county, we are unable to tell. Let us all agitate the matter and if we are unable to make arrange ments for this season, we can get good and ready for next year. Wonjei) Who Kipw say our Oxfords arc charm intf.

Ctlll'Mllppiri, SOc up SHERWOOD & SOU THE RIVER MYSTERY IS PARTIALLY SOLVED j Paper Hanger "Tourist" Probably Siart- j ed Down the River. 1 i Deputy Sheri;! Ijtiovan returned from a six mile drive down the river Saturday afternoon without rinding a solution to the mystery of thestranded skiff found Friday evening by William Woodward near his home some six miles down the river. The boat, sup posed to belong to E. Ervln of this city, had drifted against a sandbar near the east bank of the river. Wood ward had passed the bar Friday morn ing, at which time the boat was not to be seen. In the skiff was a suit case, a grip, two hats and a coat. Peputy Sheriff Honovan brought the articles found to the court house. Among the clothes and personal be longings in the suit case were a large English dictionary and numerous let ters and papers. A paper hangers' out tit w as found in the grip. Practic ally all of the letters and papers were inscribed to Alex Wojtovv iez of Mil waukee, evidently considerably of a wanderer. As mentioned in Satur day's Tribu'ii', membership cards were found issued to Alex Plebeno by Mil waukee I'lilon No. 222, of the llrothcr hood oj Painters, hecoratois and fa pcrhangers. The facts in the case, as known to the officers this morning, were as fol lows: An unused M. P. ticket from Union to Nebraska City, dated July 10, places last Thursday as the prol able date of arrival In this city. Thursday two men seeking employ ment as paperhangers called at James Dragoo's place of business. One of the men, who answered the descrip tion of Alex Wojtowlez as obtained from a memorandum book, stated that be had been working in Milwaukee. Thursday evening three skiffs disap peared from the river front. Some time during Friday the skiff found by Woodward ran against a sandbar. Friday morning a man, hatless and coatless, but answering Wojtowiez's description in detail, was seen south of the city. It is understood that the man visited Minersvllle, purchasing a hat at the village and stating that his boat and clothes had been stolen. A possible explanation is that the "tourist"' paper hanger "borrowed" the boat for a trip down the river; an easy route to Atchison, St. Joe, Kan sas City, etc., and that while sleeping on the hank during the day the boat, Insecurely tied, broke away and floated out of his sight down the river.strand Ing on the sandbar where found. Ow ing to the probable unfamillarity of the tourist with the pranks of the Missouri his natural conclusion was that "his'' boat and clothes had been stolen while lie slept. Nebraska City Tribune.

The suit which Covernor Mickey has authoried for the purpose of ousting lr.-J. M. Alden from the olllcc of superintendent of the state asylum at Norfolk will tie tiled In the supreme court Monday. John M. Stewart, em ployed as attorney for the state board in the recent investigation, will act as the governor's attorney In conjunction with Attorney General Hrown. The petition will be In the nature of iuo warranto. It will be In the name of Attorney General Hrown Instead of In the name of the governor. It will re cite the facts as the attorney general views them, including the charges of the governor against Dr. Alden, the governor's order removal and tho re fusal of Ir. Alden to vacate the ofllce. No mention is made of Dr. Nicholson, the assistant at the asylum who was ordered removed and who declined to go. As the suit Is to test the right of Dr. Alden to hold the ottlce to which he was appointed, he will lie required to show to the court that he is entitled to the place. Ex-Governor Holcomb instituted a similar suit against Dr. Hay, who was then superintendent of the asylum at Norfolk. In that case Dr. Nay and the attorney for the state tiled a stipulation of facts. The case will not be tried till late in September. Lincpjn Journal. SALARY GRABBER POLLARD GOT IT "Everybody Draws All the Salary Possible In Washington." A special from Nc haw ka, in reference to Salary Grabber I'ollard says: "After hearing or the story printed In the World-Herald this morning Congress man Pollard admitted that he drew the money as charged. He started to telephone all the republican papers giving his explanation. He says there are precedents authorizing the grab. Many rumors are in circulation here. It Is asserted that live counties of the district have a hard and fast agree ment to throw I'ollard down and nominate W. H. Hayward of Nebraska City." Pollard's Defense. Lincoln, Neb., July 24. Friends of Congressman I'ollard this morning be gan making his defense. I'ollard himself refused to be quoted. "Yes Pollard collected the money for the whole term," said a defender. "It Is sanctioned by precedent. Every body does It. That salary is supposed to be drawn. I'ollard was sworn In at the same time as all the rest. He had just as good a right to the money as the members elected in November, 11)04. Kurkett did not draw the money. Pollard did. There was no double salary paid, and the state was entitled to a congressman and a con gressman was entitled to the money. This a mighty big rumpus about an awful small matter. Everybody draws all the salary possible in Washington." Elmwood to Have a Park. A special from Elmwood would indi cate that that enterprising little city was still keeping up with the proces sion In this progressive age: "A num ber of the business men and citizens of Elmwood have formed a park asso ciation, and have leased C. D. Clapp's beautiful grove, one-half mile cast of Elmwood, for a term of live years, the Intention being to lit up the grove w ith permanent Improvements for the benotit of the public and for holding the several public celebrations during the season. This grove has natural advantages for a park and with good water, plenty of shade and ample room for large gatherings, At a meeting held Monday evening, the organization was perfected, by-laws adopted and the following officers elected: John Gerry Stark, president; Floyd L. Woolcott, secretary; Edward J. Jeary, treasurer; L. F. Longhorst, Henry Arends, U. S. Hart, H. Dettman, C. D. Clapp, board of managers." CO-OPERATIVE STORE PLAN Can You Point to One That Has Been Oper ated Successfully. It seems that the co-operative plan of running a mercantile establishment Is being agitated among some of our farmer friends. They know that the Journal lias always taken great pleas ure in protecting tho Interests of Cass county farmers, and we propose to do it in this Instance. Co-operative stores are generally short lived. The farmer taking stock In such an enterprise cannot ex pect any great results from such an enterprise If an enterprise It may be called. Can a man at the head of such a con cern sell you goods any cheaper than any other dealer In the same line of merchandise? No, he certainly cannot. Then where would the farmer reap any benefits? You remember that the Journal published a long article several weeks ago about where a num ber of farmers of Illinois had been "roped In" to take stock of a co-operative concern at Chicago, and they were left with the sack to hold. You no doubt remember several years ago there were numerous cooperative establishments throughout the coun try In many count ry towns and bow long did they last? (lone glimmering among the things that were, and with many of the farmers' good, hard earned dollars. The older farmers of Cass county can remember these things, and some of them to tlielr sor row. If a manager of such a concern w ants to do business let him do so on his own capital and upon his own re sponsibility. These co-operative stores may bp a good tiling for the manage ment, but a very poor thing for the stockholders. The Journal would ad vise the farmers who have any Idea of going Into such a combination to drop It like they would a red hot iron before getting badly burned. An Old Woman Picnic.

The principal amusement of the af ternoon was derived from a contest at progressive high live. Eacli one was presented with a novel score card -a souvenir postal of Plattsmouth which, when they were examined at the close of the match, disclosed the fact that Miss Josephine Murphy had proved most successful, while Miss Ilernlce Newell had secured the least number of games. The king prize, which was awarded to Miss Murphy, was very unique, being a souvenir pic ture of the merry gathering, which had been "snapped" earlier in the af ternoon by a photographer. The con solation prize was all that the name implies, Miss Newell receiving a sou venir picture of the two guests in whose honor the occasion was given. After the prizes had been awarded. the party adjourned to the parlor, where many selections, both vocal and Instrumental, were rendered by differ ent ones. At a welcome hour the guests were Invited to the dining room, where they were served with an elegant two- course luncheon by the hostess, as sisted by Miss lleatrlce Ha-ssc. A pleasant social time prevailed through out the afternoon, and as a souvenir of the event each was presented with a souvenir postal, upon which was placed a photograph of the group. With many expressions of apprecia tion for tho royal entertainment that hail been Indulged In during thcnrter noon, the guests departed for their homes.

Failure of t he brakes to work on ten cars of Ice which were being switched from the liurlinglon yards to the stock yards tracks under the L street viaduct in South maha yesterday morning caused a collision with a Northwestern stock train, which was unloading at the nort Ii chutes, entail ing a property loss of between !rl(),000 and tll'.oiHi. The crew realized that they had lost control of the cars and leaped to the ground In safety. When the crash came the runaway ice train was going very fast. The engine w,xs turned crosswise on the track and two cars of ice completely over It, over turning a car of hogs and a car of cattle In the stock train. Only one hog was slightly Injured. The liogn and cattle were greatly excited. One stces made a dash for freedom, scat tering a big crowd that was watching the wrecking crew clearing away the tracks. The steer escaped to the country, but two men on horses are In pursuit of It. Four cars were de molished by the collision and one engine badly damaged. It was several hours before the track were cleared. ir you want a real estate loan at reasonable rates; or a reliable abstract of title, Insurance policy, security bond of and kind, or a contract, deed or mortgage drawn, see John M.
