The Best Advertising
Advertising is being more thought
fully considered by advertisers than
it used to be, and this thoughtful con
sideration has resulted in some con
clusions that are profitable to adver
tisers. For instance, when the Retail
Merchants' association in session at
Richmond, Virginia, adopted resolu
tions advising the membership to ad
TertiSff only in newspapers, a most
ttficl Wholesome stand was taken,
and for good reasons. The association
declared that "people have formed the
habit of regardingcirculars with scant
notice, if any. and bill board advertis-
j in? is identified in the public mind
with the blare and extravagance of
circus and vaudeville exploitation.
j Of the newspapers the association
said: In the first place, the news
I paper affords a wider and prompter
! publicity and a more effective distri
bution of advertising information
than any other means that could pos
j sibly be employed. The paper noes to
many thousands of Ivomes and is read
by many thousands of people. In the
newspaper the advertiser can bring his
name and his bargains to the attention
of majy thousands having the time
and disposition io give deliberate and
undisturbed attention to what is pre
sented to them in the columns of tiie
Journal.
Bad Blaze at Nebraska City.
A special from Nebraska City gives
the following account of a disastrous
lire that occurred in that city this
mornirg: "Fire which broke out here
shortly before 1 3. m. now threatens
to completely destroy the clothing
stock of Jacob Sichl, which, with the
building is valued at about $6O,K0.
The Merchants' National bank and
the millinery store of the Burford
sisters are also endangered. Should
they go the total loss will reach at
least $100,000, even though the con
tents of the bank vault should be
saved.
"The fireman have every bit of
available fire apparatus in service and
are making a desperate fight to pre
vent the fire from spreading, but it is
impossible at this hour to state with
what success."
To Hold Respect.
When you think of the great mass
of people, struggling for existence,
one is forced to believe that there are
comparatively few dishonest people.
Let a man refuse to pay his honest
debts and he is virtually dead in the
community, and his dishonesty will
follow him, it makes no difference
j where he goes. A poor man who pays
his debts is respected where a rich
man who does not do so is looked up
on as the worst kind of thief. It is a
good investment to pay ones debts in
this world, to say nothing of the open
abyss that awaits the debt thief on
the other side.
Neigbors Got Fooled.
"I was literally coughing myself to
death, and had become too weak to
leave my bed; and neighbors predicted
that I would never leave it alive; but
they got fooled, for thanks be to God, I
was induced to try Dr. King's New
Discovery. It took just four one dollar
bottles to completely cure the cough
and restore me to good sound health,"
writes Mrs. Eva Uncapher of Grover
town, Stark county, lnd. This king of
cough and cold cures, and healer of
throat and lungs, is puaranteed by F.

Sudden Death In Lincoln.
The Lincoln Journal of this morn
ing (February 9, 1!K)7) contains the fol
lowing account of the sudden death of
Mrs. Mary C. Tefft, a daughter of the
late T. M. Marquette, formerly of this
city:
"Mrs. Mary Tefft, wife of Dr. C. R.
Tefft, 172G I street, died suddenly yes
terday morning about 7 o'clock of
heart trouble. At the time of her
death Dr. TelTt was in Kansas City,
but her children were with her. She
had been at work about her home dur
ing the early morning, and after pre
paring brcakfasthad gone Intoanother
room and wa3 sitting in a reclining
chair when she was attacked by the
fatal malady. Her children found her
suffering intense pain and a neighbor,
Mrs. II. M. Scott, was called in. When

her husband and sister be notified. She
expired in about fifteen minutes. Mrs

MAIL ORDER HOUSE LOSES
An Injunction Refused by Judge Carland
of the Federal Court.
THE MATTER IS TO COME UP AGAIN
Will be Tried in April in the U. S. District
Court at Sioux Falls.
The decision rendered by Judge Car
land of the United States court, deny
ing the application of Montgomery,
Ward & Co. of Chicago, for a tempo
rary injunction restraining the officers
and directors of the South Dakota Re
tail Merchants and Hardware Dealers'
Association and Editor E. J. Mannix
of the Commercial Newsof Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, from continuing their
alleged boycott against the Chicago
concern, is one of the most important
ever rendered in the federal court for
South Dakota.
The importance of the decision is
due to the fact that had the plaintiff
company won out in this case there is
little doubt it was the intention of the
concern to institute similar actions in
other states where merchants'associa
tions are waging a relentless warfare
against the encroachments of the mail
order houses.
The Chicago mail order concern in
stituted the action as the outgrowth
of a fight which has been made in South
Dakota against the extension in that
state of the business of the mail order
houses. In denying the application
for the temporary injunction, Judge
Carland in substance, held that the
defendant association had not used
threats in the effort to induce jobbers
and wholesalers not to sell their goods
to mail order houses, bub had simply
endeavored to persuade them to stand
with the retail dealer, and that the
course of the officers of the association
had not been anything but lawful.
Although the temporary injunction
is denied, this does not end the case,
which, unless It is in the meantime
withdrawn by the plaintiff company,
will come up for hearing on its merits
at the regular April term of United
States court in Sioux Falls, South Da
kota. The plaintiff company simply
sought to secure a temporary injunc
tion to hold until the main case was
disposed of.
New Superintendent Hurt.
In speaking of the Missouri Pacific's
new superintendent, and what has
delayed his coming, the Omaha
World Herald says: "C. II .Beving
ton, the newly appointed superinten
dent of the Missouri Pacific for this
division, is expected to arrive in Oma
ha the latter part of this week. Mr.
Bevington started for Omaha about
ten days ago, but fell from an engine
and received injuries which have kept
him in the hospital at Little Rock
ever since."

FAILS TO OBTAIN LICENSE
Young Fellow and Sixteen Year Old Girl
Travel to this City from Erie, Kan.
PARENTS WOULD NOT GIYE CONSENT
Prospective Groom Some What Confused
When County Judge Denied Him
- the Much Desired Papers.
A strange, rather green appearing
young many entered the county judge's
office Monday morning and asked for a
marriage license. The clerk secured
the book and began to make the pa
pers when it developed that the bride-to-be
was only sixteen years of age,
and that she did not have the written
consent of her parents, whom the
young man said resided near Erie,
in Neosho county, Kansas. The strang
er, who gave his name as Audiss, aged
22, residence Erie, Kansas, was very
much perturbed at the decision on the
part of Judge Travis. Audiss stated
that an attorney in Erie had informed
him that he could secure the much
desired papers in Nebraska and he bad
therefore journeyed to this city, In
spired with a new hope, after an un
successful attempt to gain the con
sent of the girl's parents.
After hearing his tale of woe the
jndge quietly informed Audiss that he
could not do anything for him, and the
disappointed young man departed with
Glenwood in view as the next scene of
his operations.
Since morning it develops that the
young couple came in from the south
on the Missouri Pacific this morning
and registered as John Bennett and
Mrs. John Brown, but did not give any
place of residence. It is now presumed
that tbey eloped from home, and fear
ing detection, registered under ficti
tious names.

At the home of the bride's parents,
on Wednesday evening, February G,
Mr. and Mrs. N. Opp, occurred the
marriage of their daughter, Dora
Kathryn, to Mr. Claude Ausmus. At
prompt 7 o'clock Lydia Nutzman sang
"O Promise Me," after which the
bridal party consisting of Mr. Frank

Stella sister of the bride as brides
maid, and the bride and groom march
ed to the strains of Lohengrin, into
one of the parlors and were solemnly,
yet quickly made man and wife by
Rev. II. B. Seymour, the Methodist
pastor of Nehawka.
Only the immediate friends and
relatives of the family were present.
Tbe house was tastefully decorated in
pink and white. The bride's dress
was of white silk and the groom wore
the usual black. The wedding supper,
which followed the ceremony was not
a minor part of the evening's enjoy
ment. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Ausmus
all the joy possible in their new life.
Tbey will leave at once for the north
where they will make their future
home.

Rapidly Recovering.
The Omaha World-Herald says that
John Rasgorshek, the victim of three
short men's brutal assault, is rapidly
recovering from the effects of the beat
ing sustained more than a week ago,
but isn't yet allowed to talk to detec
tives. From his wife, however, to
whom he talks briefly of the assault,
detectives have learned that Rasgor
shek has no idea of any one of the trio,
lie says the weapon used was a sort of
a hook, and also that one of the fel
lows was a boy about 18 years old. Ileit-
feld and Donahue have made a thor
ough search of the neighborhood for a
radius of six blocks in the hope of dis
covering some clew that would lead
them to the guilty parties, but are as
much in the dark as ever.
DEATH OF "JUDGE" SHORT
Passes Away at the Home of a Relative
in Omaha Saturday Evening.
The sad intelligence of the death of
"Judge" William B. Short at the
home of his son Tom in Omaha, was
received by relatives in thiscity Satur
day evening. Although the deceased
had reached quite an advanced age,
the news, nevertheless, came as a
great shock to his many friends in this
city, where he has resided for about
thirty years, and where he was fami
liarly know to almost every citizen as
Judge Short.
lie was about ninety years of age at
the time of his demise. and until about
two years ago made his home in this
city, where he was employed for man
years in the Burlington shops, which
he assisted in building. Mr. Short was
a native of New York, and removed
from Burlington, la., to this city in
about the year 1S73.
The last services were observed in
Omaha Monday night, after which the
remains will be brought here on the
Burlington train No. 2 for burial this
afternoon.
NO INTEREST IN CHECKERS?
Members of the Association Say There
Will Be No More Tournaments.
The Lincoln Star has the following
in reference to the meeting of the
State Checker association, which held
its annual tournament in that city
last week:
"Has the Nebraska State Checker
association played its last tourney?
Several members of the organization
who witnessed the contest which
closed last Friday and noted the
marked loss of interest both in attend
ance and in the enthusiasm of those
who did attend are inclined to beli?ve
the association will not meet again
next year.

unable to participate in the playing
by the nature of his duties as a mem

turned the medal over to the recent
winner. C. W. Chambers, of Table

"Checker playing seems to be losing
its attractions to the old members,"
said Mr. Lee yesterday, "and I doubt
if another meeting will be held next
year. The attendance fell off nearly
half this year and it seemed to me the
playing was listless. Even in the
finals between I. O. Whitesides and
Chambers the contest seemed to lack
in excitment and the playing was not
as shrewd and clever as it should have
been at that critical period.'
"Just what disposition would be
made of the gold medal in case the
association should diseand is a matter
of conjecture. At any rate Mr.
Chambers, the present champion is j

Denver Capitol.
Our friend Ami B. Todd sends us
the following clipping, taken from a
Denver paper, giving an account of
the marriage of Mr. Edward Week
bach, formerly of Plattsmouth, and
Miss Gertrude Hamford of Denver.
The happy event occurred Thursday
evening, February 7, and was witness
ed by a large number of friends of the
contracting parties, including M r. and
Mrs. Todd, former residents of Platts
mouth, but now making their home in
Denver. The groorn was born in this
city and has many friends here who
will read trie following account of the.
brilliant affair with much interest:
"No prettier or more interesting
wedding has ever been witnessed in
Denver than that which last night
united the lives of MIssGertrude Ilan-
ford and. and Edward Week bach
"The marriageceremony was solemn
ized at s o'clock in St. Elizabeth's
church in the presence of a large num
ber of guests, and with the environ
ment of tropical plants, lights and
music that was most attractive. The
marriage service was celebrated by the
Rev. Father Pius, assisted by Father
Benedictine and Father Aloysius. The
bridal procession, which approached
the altar through an aisle of palms,
was led by the ushers, C. E. Tenny,
Frank Tetmer, Edward Butler of Lin
coln, Neb ; Alfred Borresen of Colora
do Springs; Tom Finnery and fJeorgi:
Ilanford. Four tiny llower girls, car
rying baskets of spring Mowers, came
next and took their places at the altar
steps. The bridesmaids, Miss Cora
McCabe, Miss Maude Ryan, Miss Mae
Mullen and Miss Matilda Weckbach
followed.
"The bride's .sister, Mrs. W. R. Mc
Farland, officiated as her matron of
honor. Not the least interesting lig
ure of the bridal party was Elma Jane
Leddy, tbe ring bearer, who, for her
three short years, covered herself with
glory in her responsible position. The
bride, upon the arm of her brother-in-law,
W. R. McFarland, was met at the
chancel by Mr. Weckbach and his
best man.
"A choir of fifty voicescont.ributcd a
fine musical program, under the direc
tion of Miss Josephine Woebber. The
bridesmaid and llower girls, who car
ried out in their dainty white gowns,
the color scheme of yellow and white
in their hair ornaments, and the bas"
kets of jonquils, made a very pretty
picture as they encircled the altar,
where the boys of the vested choir
knelt.
