The Neit Governor In Omaha.
. lQ speaking of Hon. "A. C. SLallen
herger's vUlt to the metropolis tho
World Herald says: "A. C Sha'.len
berger, democratic nominee for gover
nor, arrived In Omaha at 10 o'clock
Thursday to deliver an address before
the Second district congressional con
vention in ttie afternoon. He will re
main In the cltv until Friday morning
when he leaves for KeJ Cloud, where
hi) Is billed to deliver an address and
where thousands will hear his sledge
hammer blows for purity in state
offices aud an honest administration.
While in Omaha yesterday fore-
I noon Mr. Shallenberger was a very
busy man. No time had been set for
Ids arrival here, but he was recognized
otj the street and it was with difficulty
that lie could attend to Important
business matters between introduc
tions to those who had never met him
and the glad hand aud congratulations
of his acquaintances."
LENTY OF LAWS TO GOVERN
But Precious Few of the Ordinances are En
forced to Any Great Eitent.
Jiefore the books are burdened with
any more ordinances the ones we have
shoulil be either enforced or repealed.
There are enough dead letter ordin
ances to lill a bulky volume closely
printed. F.very conceivable thing that
people might do or think of doing has
been restricted and regulated by an
ordinance. No one person knows, nor
ulild be know withoutdevoting all his
time to studying the tangled accumu
lation left by many councils, the scope
and meaning of all the things which
have been "ordained by the mayorand
councilor the city of Plattsmouth."
Everyone does know that the ordin
ances are not to Le enforced and so
there is no need of learning them. Oue
member has suggested that the whole
mess he repealed and that the city be
gin with a clean sheet again. This
would be a good plan, but the council
would have to keep in mind that a
paradise cannot be created upon this
earth by simply ordaining it so.
There must be some way to enforce
such ordinances as are a direct benefit
to the people who live in the city. We
notice every day men violating ordin
ances with impunity, and who do not
seem to fear the authorities. In the
past week two runaways haveoccurrcd
on Main street by the owners careless
ly leaving their teams unhitched.
There Is an ordinance against so do
ing. It Is a dangerous habit .some of
our own citizens have gotten Into, and
it Is a common occurrence with sonic
of our deliverymen. There Is another
ordinance that should be enforced, and
that Is throwing banana peelings and
watermelon rinds on the sidewalks and
crossings for people to slip upon and
fall. The banana peeling is worse than
icy sidewalks.
There is one ordinance, however,
that must be enforced, because a few
cranks demand It. That is the one
regulating the saloon men, who pay a
heavy tax for doing business In the
city. If they deviate one lota from the
saloon law laid down for the regulation
of their business, they are hauled up
and fined. Treat everybody alike If
a private citizen breaks the laws in
any manner that is calculated to en
danger life and property, we say they
should be prosecuted the same as the
saloon men. But some officials must
show their authority in the "present
wave of reform that is passing over the
country" to prosecute one element
while many other far worse things are
permitted right under their very nose.
There are numerous other things oc
curring in this old town that escapes
the attention of some of these officials,
whose eyes are so constantly rlvited on
the saloons that they fail to see other
matters that need their attention .
A MOST MEMORABLE EVENT
Reunion of Descendants of Wiles Family
at Home of Thomas Wiles.
ANNUAL REUNIONS IN THE FUTURE
One Hundred and Eighty Descendants Pres
i ent, and Many Others Joined
' the Happy Throng.
Lightning's Freak.
A special from Flinwood, under date
of yesterday, says: "During the thun
der shower last exenlng, betweenrlght
ami nine o'clock, a bolt of lightning
struck the store bulldingot theSwartu
Mercantile company at Wabash, five
miles northeast of here, setting It on
lire. The lire was extinguished by
citizens before much damage resulted.
Mr. and Mrs. P. HullisU aud Mrs. Ir.
Powers were walking along the street
when the bolt descended,- and were
terribly shucked. Mrs, Hulrish and
Mrs. Powers were thrown to the
ground while Mr. Hullish was hurled
several reel away. Although very
much frightened, none of the parties
were seriously Injured."
Perhaps one of the most interesting
events in tho history of oue of the best
known pioneer families of Cuss county
occurred at the home of Thomas Wiles,
west f this city, Thursday, August iW,
t'.nMi.w here u large gathering of the de
scendants met In one grand reunion.
Thomas Wiles resides one and one-
half miles west of t his city, on land
which was purchased from the Indians
In KM. From this it would Indicate
that the Wiles family are among the
earliest settlers In Cass county, and
yesterday was no doubt the happiest;
event that ever occurred on the old
homestead.
There were a large number of the
descendants present, and the register
which was kept of the relatives who
attended shows the number of be
sides some of the smaller children.
The day was an Ideal one lor the cele
bration and no one, who was not pres
ent, can Imagine the happiness hi the
hearts of all.
The Journal Is not going to try to
go Into details, because If we were to
make the elTort It would take one
whole page to even give the names of
the relatives who were present, and
we are just going to say that it was
one of the largest, most magnillcent
aud happiest reunions that ever oc
curred In this county. Old and young
were happy because they were there.
And the neighbors, who were not rela
tives, had just as good a time as any
of them. An eye-witness who was
present says that "It would do one's
soul good to watch the mingling of
the relatives and the good time they
were enjoying."
The Wiles family Is a large one, and
while many of the older ones have
passed away, there are younger ones
to take their places. It is perhaps
one of the best known families In the
west.
Long before Indianapolis, Indiana,
was even a village, a Wiles settled
upon the land upon which that mag
nillcent city Is now situated, and went
away and left. Gradually they fol
lowed the Star of Empire In Its west
ern couise, some locating In Iowa and
others In this state, and the xetie
that presented Itself at the home of
Thomas Wiles rlomonst rates that long
before the days of President Roose
velt, they were not believers of race
suicide.
Refreshments were galore and of the
best, and the partakers declared there
was enough left to feed as many more.
This reunion proved such a success
that it was decided before adjourn
ment to hold them annually, and to
this end an association was formed
with Charles W. Wiles, of Glcnwood,
Iowa, president, and Will Adams, sec
retary, and every year they will meet
to repeat the good time of the year pre
vious. We must not forget to mention the
fact that several interesting addresses
were made by Rev Finch, of Kansas,
and Henry Maxwell, of Omaha, and
others.
A LITTLE SCARE AT MYNARO
Boys Visit Watermelon Patch, to Find
the Owner Present With Shot Gun.
This Is the season of tin year of all
Others that pleases the youth of the,
land-the watermelon season. There
Is no hoy who dues not delight, in pil
fering the luscious fruit right from
the vines, when he is satisfied that
the patch is located a safe distance
from the house. A good joke In this
line was perpetrated on a few of the
hoys in and around Mynard last night
which is too gooil to keep.
A young man, whose name we will
not. mention, secured a part v of boys
to go with him to the farm of Ceorge
Melslnger, wlio was known to have a
patch of nice mellons, ripe and line.
It was made up with Mr. Melslnger
and tho Instigator, that the former
should hide near the spot wllhaloaded
shot gun, and lire It olT about the time
the party reached the Ideal spot, and
to say that the program was well car
ried out but half expresses it.
At the hour designated, the leader
aud Ids crowd could lie seen wending
their way In the direction of the patch,
much slower, however, than they re
turned to town, and Just as they were
entering the patch Mr. Melslnger
raised up and lired two shots. Two of
the boys dropped (according to pro
gram) and the balance enjoyed a foot
race up the road from whence they
came. When they arrived at Mynard
they told the story that two of the
boys had been shot. Then It was that
excitement raged for a short time.
The people became greatly excited'
mothers cried and raved, and sisters
wrung their hands In grief, and it was
not until they saw the two "dead
boys"' entering town that they caught
onto me lone, ami mat t was a a
put up job. Hut boys will be boys,
and the rising generation are Just like
all generations before It, "stolen water
melons taste the sweetest," and al
ways will.
Charged With Vagrancy.
Geo. Mlnnlck, who claims to hall
from Falls City, was picked up on the
streets of Plattsmouth Friday evening
by the police and lodged In the city
bastlle to remain over night. Today
he was arraigned In Justice Archer's
court to answer to the charge of vag
rancy, to which he plead guilty. Hav
ing separated with all his ready cash
la Omaha before landing in Platts
mouth, he was released" on the prom
ise that he would proceed direct to
Falls City. The gentleman claims to
have been robbed of 112 In Omaha, all
the money he bad. Some of our peo
ple were acquainted with the Mlnnlck
Bros., when they owned ono of the
prosperous transfer lines of the state,
working between Auburn and South
Auburn, of which they think this
mao was a member. If so, misfortune
has overtaken him and he is passing
down the tough side of life.
Wadding Near Elmwood.
A special from Elmwood gives the
following In reference to the recent
marriage of two of Cass county's young
people: ''On Tuesday, August 28, at
4 p. m., at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
C. D. Kunz, sr., in this city occurred
the marriage of the second eldest
daughter, Martha K., to Mr. Daniel
Rumelln, a prosperous young farmer
Of the community, Rev. A. W, Wick
mann, pastor of the German Evangeli
cal church, offciatlng. Nearly two
hundred guests were present."
Houae Burnt.
Last Saturday evening between the
hours of 5 and ii o'clock the house on
Mr. 15en Lambert's place about (i miles
southeast of here was totally destroyed
by lire. The tire was caused by a de
fective flue, and had gained such head
way before It was discovered that only
a small quantity of the gods could be
saved.
This house was one of the old land
marks of the early days, a part of It
being built of logs that were hewn
from the timber on the place when
Mr. Lambert first settled there about,
40 years ago. Mr. Lambert's loss will
amount to about 11,000, no insurance.
He will rebuild at once.-Eaglellcaoon.

Scarlet Favar.
A case of scarlet fever has developed
In the family of P. C. Stander, of the
Arm of Stander & Esmay . The house
was promptly quarantined and It is
hoped to confine the disease to the
one family, yet It Is stated that a num
ber of children have probably been
exposed as the little girl was taken
sick while at Sunday school last Sun
day. As a precaution, however, the
public schools will not be opened until
one week from next Monday. Mean
time It w ill be well for parents to keep
their children at home and thus
lessen the danger of having them ex
posed to the disease should it become
general. Loulsvlllo Courier.
