Buu Hair
at Auction?
At any rate, you seem to be
getting rid of it on auction-sale
principles: "rjoinj:, goine,
g-o-n-e ! " Stop the auction
with Ayer's Hair Vigor. It
certainly checks falling hair;
no mistake about this. It acts
as a regular medicine; makes
the scalp healthy. Then you
must have healthy hair, for
it's nature's way.

GLAD HANDS TO NEBRASKANS
Brjan's Home Folks Given a Cordial Re
ception in New York.
CERTAINLY ARE THE LIONS OF THE DAY
What Col. Bills Has to Say About Nebras
ka's Favorite Son.
A special from New York, under
date of August 27, says: "New York's
reception to Nebraska's "Bryan home
folks" has been cordial. Scats, which
are In great demand, have been assur
ed the entire party, and the rooms of
Mayors Brown Brown and Dahlman
have been crowded with visiting dem
ocrats and Ncbraskans resident in New
York. The presence of the delegations
has started a movement among Ne
braskans here for the organization of
a Nebraska club. Trouble is being ex
perienced in securing permission to go
down the bay, except as a party and
meet the Princess Irene, and Mayor
Dahlman wired President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay for permission, which can
be granted In emejgency. It was re
ported today that Mr. Bryan has been
delayed at some island en route, but
no confirmation of the rumor could be
secured. Tomorrow night the Ne
braska bunch goes to Luna park to
visit Skip Dundy and the next even
ing to see Ruth Bryan's play."

A special from New York says:
'Norman E. Mack, democratic state
committeeman, gave an Informal

Team Start for Horns.
The team of W. D. Warner, of Faci

day by taking a lively spin down
Main street without a driver. Mr.
Warner had brought over a load of po
tatoes and Just got the last "spud" un
loaded at Dovey's store when the bays
took It into their heads to hit the high
places for the ferry. Accordingly they
started without warning on the keen
Jump for the river road, dashing across
the Burlington tracks and down tne
steep and twisted trail to the bottom
road, miraculously making the steep
turn without tipping over the wagon,
and were stopped, well on their way to

horses, harness nor wagon were Injur

TWENTY-SIX YEARS
The Plattsmouth Courant, Wentworth
Crites, Editors and Publishers.
NEARASKA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM 1880
ll'rom Juilirc l!iM'y' llhlorli.,"Scrai lkok."l
It Is not now generally known, but
some twenty-six years ago, a demo
cratic newspaper was published In
Tlattsmouth called the "Plattsmouih
Courant," then owned and published
by Wentworth & Crites. The senior
member of this firm, a number of years
ago, passed the boundary of life, but
his partner, Judge Albert W. Crites,
now of Chadron, Dawes county, Neb
still lives and Is one of the ablest and
most prominent attorneys of thestate
In the Issue of June 11, HSO, we find
the following resolutions, adopted by
the Nebraska Democracy:
"Resolutions adopted by the Nebras
ka State Democratic convention, held
at Columbus, March 31, 1 $):
"Wiikukas, In the presidential
campaign of l-O;, all of the historical
democratic policies of sound finance,
home rule and purity of administra
tion, were in Issue and at stake In the
candidacy of Samuel J. Tllden; and
'Whkkkas, In that campaign the
democratic party raised the only stan
dard under which it merits victory; and
"Whkkkas, In the republican
frauds by which the country was base
ly cheated of its wish and robbed of its
elected choice, the whole republic was
despoiled and our Institutions Injured.
Therefore, ,
"Rksolvku, That the democratic
nartv of Nebraska pledges Itself to
ceaseless exertion, pursuit and punish
ment of all authors, aiders,, abetors,
allies and beneficiaries of that fraud,
and promises to use Its strength to the
vindication of that majority rule,
which alone can perpetuate our demo
cratlc form of government.
"Rksoi,vki, That recognizing all
democratic leaders as pledged to right
the wrong done In the theft of the
presidency, we pledge to our standard
bearers our united support in sucli
measures as may again put In Issue the
great questions of lTii, and as may
provide for their most certain vlndl
catiun against the crimes, which In
W and 1ST", struck down our elected
president, despoiled him of his great
office and deprived the republic of the
beneficent results of democratic gov
eminent and majority rule during the
current presidency."
From the same Issue of this paper
the following appears:
The Plattsmouth Courant," pub
lished by Wentworth & Crites, Is one
of the very best papers in the State
and sound on the political question.

"John Fitzgerald has taken a con
tract to construct one hundred and
seventy-five miles of railroad in the
mountains of Colorado."
TEACHERS IN GREAT DEMAND
State Superintendent McBrien Has Appli
cations for Hundreds of Them.
Six principals for graded schools and
about 300 teachers for miscellaneous
positions in Nebraska are needed by
State Superintendent McBrlen's office
to supply calls that he has received
from various places, says the Lincoln
News. The state superintendent's
office Is a sort of clearing house where
school boards and teachers are brought
together. It finds employment for a
large number of teachers every year,
and the prospects are that It will be
able to place more of them In good
paying situations this annum than
ever before.
At Nelson, Nuckolls county, a prin
cipal Is wanted, and the board of edu
cation Informs Superintendent Mc
Brien that it will pay $100 for the
right man. HyannlB Is after a princi
pal and offers IM as the inducement
to come there, At Mitchell, 175 Is the
wage limit, while Firth and Holmes
vllle are looking for heads of their
schools to serve at a $tiO stipend. York
has applied to the state superinten
dent for a male science and German
Instructor, who will be paid as much
as the board feels Ills services are
worth.
From $40 to 4.13 per month, accord
ing to experience and general qualifi
cations, Is the scale of remuneration
offered In localities where teachers
are scarce. Among the counties that
report a shortage are Gage, Saline,
Thayer, Nuckolls, Webster, Franklin,
Kimball, Hall and Hitchcock. On the
othe hand, Madison, York, Nemaha,
Cass and Wayne have a surplus of
teachers.
"We always have a strong demand
for teachers at this time of year," said
Mr. McBrien. "I think there Is a
sufficient number In the state to fill
all the available positions. The only
problem Is to bring them Into touch
with the boards of education la coun
ties where they are needed."
Colorado Exhibit at Stste Fair.
Hon. S. L. Thomas eatv.e In last

of that county, of which Akron Is the
county seat. Senator Thomas was
chosen to attend the fair and exhibit
samples of wheat, oats, barley and
other small grains, grown on the nat
ural soil of Washington county, w ith
out irrigation. His selection Is quite
an honor to one of Cass county's for
mer citizens, and Senator Thomas de
sires all his Cass county friends to call

next week. Owing to the crowded
condition of Agricultural hall, Sen

THE METHODIST S.S. PICNIC
One of the Most Delightful Occasions of
the Summer Held in Mapes' Grove.
Tuesday was a gala day for the
youngstcrs-and the "oldsters" as well
of the Methodist Sunday school, the
occasion being their annual picnic.
At an early hour those In charge of
affairs went out to the grounds in
South Park, known as Mapes' pasture,
which Is said to be an Ideal picnic
spot, and put upswings, benches, etc.,
and while yet the day was young the
merry-makers began to assemble, and
the collection of lunch baskets and
lemonade buckets grew apace, and be
fore long one of the jollicst of times
was in full swlntr.
The program committee was both
able and energetic and all kinds of
races and contests were successfully
pulled off and prizes awarded to vari
ous winners. There were tugs-o'-war,
potato races, human-wheelbarrow
races, nail-drlving contests, and a
dozen other games of skill, with plenty
of contestants to make all interesting.
But the game In which perhaps most
enthusiasm was shown occurred soon
after the ladies opened the capacious
baskets and spread the bounteous
feast upon tablecloths laid upon the
grass. It was then that both young
and old "fell to" and demonstrated
their health and happiness In doing
justice to the wealth of a Methodist
mothers' picnic dinner.
All day the jollification lasted, and
at 5 o'clock those interested In base
ball repaired to the Chicago avenue
grounds and witnessed an interesting
game between nines "chosen up" from
among the seniors. Five Innings were
played and a score of 4 to 7 was the
result. The names of the players arc
not given because they don't care to
be pestered with offers to sign with
the league teams.
One of the largest crowds ever at
tendinir a Sunday school picnic was
out yesterday and it was pronounced
by all as the "best ever."
The Last Help.

The Glenwood Tribune speaking of
the hall game between the Haskell ln-

with a portion ofan inning to spare.
It was the biggest crowd of the season.
The net receipts were $147.40, some

remained in Glenwood till Monday
when they went to Stanton on No. 4.
They were defeated by Stanton Utol."
Troubles of Our Own.
Not infrequently do we receive sug

tools they wish sharpened, and who
give it as their opinion that certain
persons or existing Institutions In
this town should be roundly roasted
When these friends arc asked to put
their Ideas upon paper and sign their
names, they are wont to demur, and
request that their names be not men
