DEATH OF A PIONEER CITIZEN
J. 6. Warden Died it His Hone, Neir He-
bull, Thursday, October It. .
J. G. Warden, one among the oldest
citizens of Cass county, died at his
home, one and a half miles south of
Nehawka, having been striken with
paralysis Thursday afternoon, from
the effects of which he passed away
about five o'clock the same evening.
The deceased was well known In the
section of the county In which he has
so long resided, and while not over
supplied with this world's goods, was
considered by all who knew him tto be
an honorable, upright citizen. He had
been afflicted for several years, most of
which time he wascon fined to his room.
The first wife of ex-Sheriff J. D. Mc
Brlde, long since deceased, was a
daughter of the deceased, and the
Journal understands that besides a
wife several children alsosurvlvehlm.
Coming to Cass county in an early
day, he endured the many hardships
which the pioneers had to pass
through, and during his entire career
be has been a man who bore the re
spect and confidence of his neighbors
and friends, and also those with whom
he came In contact in business rela
tions. In speaking of the deceased, the Ne
braska City News says: "News was
received here of the death of James C.
Warden, who died this morning at his
home in Nehawka. He lived for sev
eral years on a farm two miles west of
this city and went from here to Ne
hawka, where he has since made his
home. He was a member of Nebraska
City lodge No. 12, A. F. and A. M.,
and the funeral services will be held
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at Ne
hawka, and a special invitation is ex
tended to the Masons of this city to
attend. Mr. Warden leaves a family
of grown children. Five or six years
ago be received a stroke of paralysis,
from which he never recovered and
been an invalid ever since."
Beat at Hi Own Game.
About two years ago a suit to re'
cover judgment for heat and fuel was
Instituted by W. W. Coates vs Dr. J,
M. Green, and in the hearing that was
had before Judge Archer a judgment
was awarded the plaintiff, who has
thus far been unable to collect, or se
cure promise or payment, uut ine
situation has changed somewhat to
day, and it looks as though Mr. Coates
will come out on top, after all the
boasts of the defendant, who has flat
footedly refused to remit.
The occasion for the change is that
a case was filed a few days ago and a
judgment secured for some 130 against
Geo. Kennedy by Dr. J. M. Greene,
who has forced the sale of Mr. Ken
nedy's household goods, in order to ob
tain the delinquent sum. The sale
being conducted by Jack Den
son, who has been instructed to turn
over the proceeds to the judge.
Now comes the plaintiff, Coatcs.and
starts attachment proceedings to ob
tain possession of the money derived
from the sale, and thus liquidate the
judgment secured two years ago. W
understand that the goods will bring
about MO, which will square up the
plaintiff on the first case, but will
still leave the costs, that might have
been avoided, for the defendant,
Greene, to settle.
Chicken Thieves.
The season has arrived for chicken
thieves to ply their avocations of raid
ing chicken houses at the dark hour
of night, and it will be well for those
having chickens to load up their re
volvers and shot guns and have them
ready for use at the ilrst sound of foot
steps around the premises after the
hour at which time all honest people
should be slumbering. There have
been several ben houses raided in the
past few nights,and a warning In time
may save a few chickens to the owner
and some one from receiving a dose
of shot In their carcass, and perhaps
killed.
True at Preaehlng.
The merchant who hopes to wait

and then get his share of the trade by
advertising, will make a mistake.
While every advertisement Is a trade
getter, the advertiser who docs bus!

In the habit of coming to his store to
trade, and they w ill come during the
holidays, as well as at other times.

ANOTHER BOLD BURGLARY
Offices of Drs. E. D. and F. L. Cummins
Entered bj Dirlng Visitor.
DEHTIST'S CABINETS WERE LOOTED
Entranci to Building Wis Stnootkly Qi
tilntd ij Prjlni Door Opei
During List Might.
It is evident that a daring bouse
breaker is operating in this vicinity,
as the offices of Doctors E. D. and F.
L. Cummins were entered Frldaynlght
by a smooth visitor, who perpetrated
another bold burglary, in much the
same manner that entrance was re
cently obtained at the homes of Tom
Walling and J. Helner. The fact that
the perpetrator has thus far success
fully eluded the authorities, proves
conclusively that the work Is of local
talent, who patiently await an oppor
tunity to rob our citizens while they
quietly repose in slumberland. These
depredations will not be carried on
very long before the guilty culprit re
ceives a charge of shot from some of
the enraged citizens, and Is then sent
to the "pen" for several years by the
authorities.
The Incidents surrounding the bur
glary of last night show that the office
was being watched by some unknown
person, who, sometime after Dr. E.
D. Cummins left about half past nine
o'clock for his home, entered the
waiting room, which is always open to
patients, and proceeded to break into
the private office. After breaking a
skeleton key off in the lock, an Iron
bar was resorted to, and the door into
Dr. E. D.'s private office thus broken
open.
After gaining admission to that
place, in which two iron safes stand,
and rifling the desk, the intruder
passed to Dr. F. L.'s office, where he
looted his cabinet, taking scraps of
gold plate to the value of 920, a :w call
bre II. & It. double action revolver,
and a light fall overcoat. After se
curing the above property the thief
must have been frightened by some
unknown noise and fled before ran
sacking the entire place.
The robbery was not discovered un
til Dr. E.D. Cummlnscame to the olllce
this morning, and in a short time the
notice were informed of the deed, and
are at present working npon all posst
ble clues.
This Is the second time the burglars
have visited Dr. F. L. the first oc
curring while he was practicing in
Jolict. III., a short time after he
graduated from the dental school
The burglar hi that case was caught
in the office by the doctor, who sue
cccding after a lively tussel In detain
ingbim until aid arrived, when i
mantity of gold was recovered, and
the fellow later sent to the penitcn
tiary for two years.

A special from Louisville, under
date of October 14, says: "The mull
latcd remains of a man were found on
the Rock Island track north of
Meadow station, Sarpy county, this
morning at 9 o'clock by the section
foreman. The body was In such con
dltlon that it would have been impos
sible to Identify It bad It not been for
a letter found in the man's pocket
which showed him to be O. F. Mo
Namara, a stone crusher feeder at
Murphy's stone quarries nearby. From
the condition of the remains It Is the
general supposition here that the man
was the victim of foul play and had
been left on the track to cover up the
deed. He was about thirty-six years
of age and has a sister, Miss Ida Mc
Namara, living in Ohio. Tho coroner
of Sarpy county will hold an inquest.

JAMES SUNDER IS HIS NAME
And He Is Om of the Most Competent Men
In Ciss County for the Place.
As per call of Chairman Panning,
the democratic county central com
mittee met at the Woodmen hall in
Louisville, Friday afternoon at two
o'clock, principally for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for senator,
and also to transact such other busi
ness as might come before that body.
Considering the short notice given,
the attendance was remarkably good,
sented by the committeeman in per
son or by proxy, and all the candidates
were present with the exception of F.
M.Massle, who, for some cause, did
not receive the notice in time to reach
Louisville for the meeting.

It. Gerlng, who withdrew. There were
several gentlemen mentioned, but that
of James Stander seemed to be the
one most available, and the committee
vir.anlmously so decided. Mr. Stander

acted upon the matter, and a resolu
tion was adopted authorizing the
chairman and secretary to confer with
Mr. Stander in regard to the matter,
and giving them the power to select a
candidate in case he refused to accept
As luck favored us, just as we were
leaving for home, Mr. Stander arrived
on the train from Weeping Water, and
consented to make the race.
Mr. Stander's . acceptance of the
nomination will be hailed with joy by
the democrats and many republicans
in every section of Cass county, and
especially among those who know him
Ills record as a business man, and his
character as a citizen is so far above
reproach that none of the opposition
dare attack him. Mr. Stander is a
true gengtleman and scholar, and the
Journal believes if the democrats will
pull off their coats and roll up their
sleeves, and "push," he can down the
gentleman who was nominated by the
'lattsmouth ring for senator.
The committee was In session about
two hours, and many good suggestions
as to the manner of conducting the
campaign was advanced. The meeting
adjourned to meet again on Saturday,
October 20, at Union. This is the day
that Hon. A. C. Shallenbcrger, demo
cratic candidate for governor, speaks
In Uulon and It is hoped that every
committeeman and every candldafe
will be in attendance at this meeting.

New Postoffic Ruling.
The postoftlce department ha de
cided that children going to and from
school shall not be allowed to get their
parent's mail, so do not blame the
postmaster If your children are re
fused the mail. The postoftlce habit
among children has become a nuisance
both to the public and the postmaster
and the department has done wisely
In making this decision. This has
been one of the postmaster's greatest
trials as the children go to and from
school. Parents should Inform their
children of this ruling, and save an
noyance to Postmaster Smith and as
sistants.

Mr. Slander was reared In this county

he says he will call on them Just the
same. Everybody who knows him,
