Third Mao t Fill the Office in New Slate Capital at Lincoln. The Lincoln Journal of yesterday, elves a small biographical sketch of the different gentleman who have served a postmasters of that city since the capital city was a village. Among the number is Captain C. N. Baird, who was a resident of Weeping Water for several years, where he was president and cashier of the First Na tional Dank of that city. After serv ing in both capacities, respectively, he sold out and removed back to Lin coln, where he at present resides. In speaking of Captain Balrd, the Jour nal says: "Captain C. N. Balrd was born near Ripley, Brown county, Ohio, April 1, 1332. He served as captain In the civil war. On March 22, 1368 he came to Lincoln and was appointed post master In January, 18t9, and served until April 19, 1375. "I arrived in Lincoln thirty-eight years ago, March 22, 1808," said Capt C. N. Balrd, "when the postofllce was in a small building made of brown sandstone, located on the corner of O and Tenth streets. Jacob Dawson was then serving his term as first post master of Lincoln, but resigned In the summer of that same year. "V. J. Abbott was appointed the second postmaster and was removed a short time afterwards for ritling the mail. About November, 1W, the of flee was removed to a small frame building which was fourteen by six teen feet and was north of the Hum phrey hardware store. "My first appointment was January 1809, signed by A. . Randall,, post master general, on recommendation of Gen. John M. Thayer. "On coming into ofllee, I found a great amount of mall that had been forwarded from both houses of the leg islature which was to be stamped and mailed. There was not a stamp or en velope in the office, so I marked the bunch of mall paid, and shipped it out. I didn't know what would be done with me for doing this, but wasn't going to be caught with all of that mail on my hands. I wrote to the officials at Washington explaining the situation and kept an account of the mail sent until I could receive supply of stamps from Omaha. At that time all of the office supplies were brought from Omaha on the statrc. mall being delivered three times a week. 'My second appointment was July 11, 1370, my commission being signed by U. S. Grant, at that time president of the United States. My third ap polntment was August 25, 1374, and on March 9, 1375, 1 received my fourth appointment. The postmaster's sal ary wastlWOayear." An Incident Mr. Baird further says: "One morn ing as I was cleaning out a box of old papers I found a long envelope ad dressed to officials at Washington, D. C. It was quite evident that the postage stamp bad been pulled off and the letter thrown away, so I opened it to see what it might be. It was an application for the poBtmastership which had been mailed at the time of Dawscn's administration. Abbot, who was appointed his successor, was work ing in the office at that time, and had thrown away this application without mailing it, after taking off the rev enue stamp, which, at that time was worth one dollar, and placing it on his own application. As no one else had applied for the office, this young fellow thought It would only be a matter of hearing from Washington until he would be postmaster. Meanwhile be built a nice set of cases for the letters and rented a room for the office. As time rolled by, no word was received from Washington, until Abbot was ap pointed postmaster. This boy had told me his story, and when I found his application thrown among the rub bish in the office, it explained all. I had recommended the boy and was very sorry he didn't get the office as he was a good honest fellow." Ravages of Hog Cholera. A special from Nebraska City says "The hog raisers of this vicinity are greatly alarmed at the ravages of the hog Icholera, which has broken out here recently. They have had several experts here treating their sick hogs, but none of them have been able to do anything to stop the spread of the tils case. George Overton lost over 200 head, Albert Ilarman 75, Mr. Wlrth 150 and Nelse Overton 2."ti. Other stock raisers have lost small numbers and many farmers have lost their en tire herd. It has been raging for sev eral months and the farmers are be coming very much discouraged. This Is the first time cholera has broken out among the hogs of this vicinity for number of years." 16th and Dodge. Hayden Bros., OMAHA, NEB. HOWLERS AGAIN GET BUSY ELECTION TUESDAY.

PLY THEIR AVOCATION UNDISTURBED. hej Break Into the Store o( Andj Hairick on South Sixth Street. After a few nights ot Inactivity the mysterious prowler again resumed his vocation ot breaking into the busi ness houses and homes of our citizens, by entering the second hand store of Andy Ilawrlck on Sixth street. An entrance was quietly gained at a back door, which was opened by a skeleton key. Among the articles and tools that were missing when the proprie tor opened the store were cross cut and rip saw, three planers, two razors, and a telescope. Just how much more booty the burglars secured Is not known by Mr. Harwick. The matter was reported to the officers, but as yet no clue has been obtained to the guilty party. Entertain Danelng Club. At the hospitable home of Geo. E. lovey, a pleasant gathering occurred Friday night, when Mks Catherln en tertained the dancing club, of which she Is a member. The evening was devoted to games, music, and a gen eral social time. At an appropriate hour delicious refreshments were served, soon after which the partlci pants took leave of their hostess.

Murphy was the rendezvous of twenty young ladles Friday evenlngln response to the Invitation Issued by Miss Llll Han, to spend the evening witli Misses Kathleen and Barbara McGuire. The principal source of entertainment was derived from a contest at progressive whist, In which MlssTresham proved most successful, while Miss Bernlce Newell was awarded the consolation prize. The evening was Interspersed with music, which assisted materially toward the social time that prevailed during the evening. At a late hour, elegant refreshments were partaken of, at tables prettily decorated with autumn leaves, and at a somewhat later hour the merry party dispersed to their homes.

Swearingen, former agent for the Missouri Facitlc at this place, and who resigned to accept a clerkship In the general offices of the company at Omaha, has given up the position there. Why he resigned his present position the Journal has failed to learn, but a good, competent gentle man of "Brick's" calibre Is not usually out of a jcb very long. But as to hir, future movements we have not been informed. Tipton Geo. Reltter, Jr., James La tram and Fred Muenchaul, Judges: R. ('. Wengel and Henry Snoke.clorks. Greenwood D. V.

It is not our Intention todlscuss po litical questions in the Columns of The Beacon or use them for the cause of thecandidatesof any of the political parties, but we do feel Justified In making the exception to this rule In the case o' a home man. At a demo cratic convention held at Nebraska City some weeks ago Dr. C. V. Jeiter of Eagle, was nominated fur tloat rep resentative of Cass and Otoe counties without any solicitation on his part, in fact without his knowledge until the convention had adjourned. It was his Intention at tlrst to decline to to accept the nomination, but lie ha,v at last given In to (he wishes Of hU friends and decided to remain on the ticket. Dr. Jester has been a resi dent of this state for .14 years. He Is what 1 generally termed a "self-made man"- the kind most admired by all. After finishing In the public schools he attended private normals and later graduated from the Falrchllds college. He taught school for a number of years and then he graduated from Cotncr I'nlverslty and the Lincoln Medical College. He was elected and served two terms as county superin tendent of Clay county, NcL. As to his character and standing lie has In this community it Is needless for us to say anything. Hisopponcnt, Mr. M. T. Harrison, of Dunbar, Is a good man and as far as we can learn, stands high in the estimation of the people in the community in which ho lives, and will get their votes Irrespective of party. Let us be Just as loyal to our home man and give him a good majority in his own precinct on Nov. nth. Vote for Dr. C. W. Jester. Eagle Beacon. OUR CANDIDATE FOR FLOAT REPRESENTATIVE Chapped Hands.

The weather prophets are already out in full force, providing for the coming winter. If the accepted signs means any thing at al', it will be the severest In twenty years. Corn shucks are reported to be over a foot thick in some localities. Geese, ducks and chickens are growing a heavy coat of fur underneath their feathers. Squir rels are rubbing powdered borax on their feet to harden them. The one eyed owls are leaving tbelr holes a month earlier than usual. Bob-tailed gophers are laying In sweet potatoes and canned goods, as well as nuts for winter provisions. Plattsmouth barbers report an increased demand for hair re storers for bald-headed men, and sev eral of our smoothshaven citizens are growing beards. Latest reports from the farming districts Indicate that the winter squash will have deep wrinkles In them this year. The last time this happened the weather was cold enough to freeze the handles on the milk buck ets. Rabbit's cars are long and cover ed with hair this fall. If this means anything at all it means twenty de grees below zero from November to May. Crows are said to be hunting for pieces of red tlannel to wrap around their tails and the wise old hogs are rooting their way to the cen ter ot the straw stacks. This Is said to be a sure sign that the roads will be blocked with snow for whole years at a time inside the Artie circle. Sues for $5,000. A special from Nebraska City, under date of October 2tith, says: "Mrs. Harriet Steele, through her attorney, John C. Watson, has filed a suit in the district court asking for .j.OoO dam ages from the Missouri Pacific railroad and Engineer J. J. Harding, for the killing of her husband, John S. Steele, who was a watchman, working for the M. P. road, at Weeping Water, where be was run down by an engine on JuneS, l'.05. She brings the suit as the administrator of the estate of her deceased husband." in every clime its colors are unfuiled It's fame has spread from sea to sea; Be not surprised if in the other world, You hear of Rocky Mountain Tea. Gerlng & Co., druggists. A Poor Objection. D. . Dwycr democratic nominee for county attorney was a Louisville visitor Thursday evening, returning to Plattsmouth Friday morning. Mr. Dwycr Is a competent attorney and perhaps the only thing that keeps him from being Cass county's prosecuting attorney Is the odor of his politics. Louisville Courier. On Account of Being Unable to Meet All the Voters Dr. Jester Is sues a Letter. Eaoi.k, Neb., Oct. -'), l'.wi.-Dcar Sir: As my business has not permitted my going Into the Held and personally meeting all the voters In my district, I take this method of bringing my candidacy before you. Without my even being a candidate for the honor, I was unanimously chosen as the nominee for lloat representative for the district comprising Cass and Otoe counties. When first Informed of my nomination I was Inclined to decline the same, but upon the solicitation of my friends and some of the candidates upon the state ticket I decided to make the race. Permit me to say In my own behalf, that I have lived in Nebraska for thirty-four years, and am deeply Interested In her people and future welfare. I was educated In her public schools, normals and lit crary colleges, and for a number of years was a teacher in her public schools. It was my pleasure to serve the people of Clay county as school su perintendent for a period of four years. I have always been proud to live in a state that boasts of Its high educational facilities. For a number of years I have advocated and stood for legislation which would be lene tlclal to the farmers and laboring classes of this great state of Nebraska, and at the present favor a reduction in the present exorbitant rates charged by the transportation companies now operating in this state. I also favor a two cents per mile passenger fare througout the state: equal taxation for farmer, laborer, merchant, rail roads and corporations. Conservative and economical expenditure of the state funds; and am standing squarely upon a platform pledged to carry out such legislation. The time has passed when a man is voted for merely because he Is a good republican or democratic. A candi date must now stand for reform and also give evidence of his earnestness. How can you expect reformation from such a gang as infested the state house during the last session of the legislat ure? In most instances the same old gang' are standing before the "pie" counter, demanding that they be returned to the legislature that they may be In strumental in redeeming the state from their own mis-rule. If tbey did not give us relief two years ago, how can we expect any good of them? One of their chief advisors is now asking you to exalt him to the highest position of governor of this state. I invite you, dear voter, to lay aside party prejudice and unite with us In redeeming Nebraska from the throes of graft and railroad rule. Respectfully, Dit. C. W.
