Talk Is cheap except when a man's j wile begins to explain why she needs the money. j It takes a strung minded man to re-! fer to a young widow as a "peach" in the presence of his wife. When a woman pays a man &com- pliment she expects it to be returned! with compound interest. One of the most remarkable quali ties ct man is his docility In being led astray or driven to drmk. Politics consists largely in "knowing what the other Iellow is poIttj: to do before he knows it hiosselT. The "sweet girl graduate" is going to have the visual hard living up to her glowing advance notices. A man doesn't mind getting the; worst of it as much as he dislikes see iDg the otherfellow get the best of it, j 5r.-nw rrnmK'.P was (niirt. to lrv-loi TlM'ir nian'rat.'" was hvrl m in town. Awl turn In a milU Ha-ss suhurli -Shfts-sKiiity tonhit;.im down. It sometimes happens that other people have as good an opinion oT a man as he has of himself after he is dead. It is -simply impossible for a man to fully realize the joys of single bless edness until after he takes unts him--jerf a wffe. Just when one gets into the notion of tickling Mother Earth with a hoe a wintry blast comes along Trod the notion vanishet. A "Wyoming man asserts 'that "a man who whistles never swcaTs' But what of tbe man who listens to the man who whistles. The village wag asks "fTriy is the Tear 1907 like a lumber wagon?" and then smiles a fiendish snriie as he gives the acswer. "When we read of the hostess-serving a "two-course luncheon,"" we some times wonder if a "too ccar9e;' lunch eon would not be as appropriate. The St. Louis negro who bet that he could take 19 drinks of whisky, "hand going," won the bet, but his widow bad immediate use for the money seven hours later. The old fashioned kiss :Uke the old fashioned rose is still the best, No improvement has been made since Adam stole one from the lips of Eve in tbe garden of Eden'. A prospective bridegroom in this city wanted to get married the other day, and all that prevented the act was the price of a marriage license. Xove is blind and sometimes broke. There are rumors that another one of Plattsmouth's charming daughters will be -captured in Cupids net before long and carried away to another city to make her future home with her choice for a husband. It is tinted that the trouble at the M. P. 6epot a week ago last Saturday night is not done with yet, until the railroad authorities have tfceir inning. And when that time arrives-somebody wants to "look a little out."' It is reported that a coterie of girls in this town have adopted tbe follow ing mottcc "Who smokes r drinks, or cuts a -deck can never bite us on the neck." We'll have to await further developments ere making furvher com ments. A Plattsmouth lady, who is -quite a fancier, declared to a friend the other day that the rising of chickens is her hobby. She said: "1 believe 1 am the best chickenarian in tbe town." That will hold the other chicken raisers for a week at least. It's high time to stop the seed swin dle perpetrated by our department of agriculture. A man in Kansas says that be wrote to tbe secretary for some tobacco seed carefully specifying that he wantediBattle Ax or Star plug, but was put off with the excuse that they were giving nothing but fine cut this year. Advice to married men: Tbe gar den fever is not dangerous. While it always seems severe in its first attack, it gradually wears away and in a few days disappears entirely. It seldom keeps a man away from his business for any great length of time, but, Bhould it seem very hard to break up get a good hoe and place it in the hands of your wife. When you see how beautifully she turns the trick, then the fever will leave you at once. Let tbe women do tbe work. DEATH OF ORRIN C. SMITH.

Omaha TurnerWisitors. On the departure of the representa tive of tbe Bohemian Turners, Mr. Rihater Prague, from Omaha, Sun day afternoon, an immense crowd of his friends were at the Union station to see him off and bid him bon voyage. Just ac the train was fulling out some of the crowd said: "Let us go as far as Plattsmouth with him," and abcut sixty of his friends bearded the train and came this far. They made the welkin ring without a doubt. On the departure of the train Irom here, they repaired to the Sokol hall in the west part of totvn and had a series of athletic perform ances, 'foot races and c general gocd time until dark, returning on the late train to Omaha.

The people who were In attendance at tbe Grand Army encampment re port an excellent time while at Fre mont, saying that that city treated them like princes. The entertaining capacity of the city was taxed to its full extent, the headquarters were at the Eno hotel, the genial host of which is II. K. Dunbar formerly of this place. The encampment while in session gave a vote of thanks to Mr. Dunbar ror the pleasant way in which he entertained his guests and ministered to their comfort. Hastings secures tbe next encamp ment, there was not a very great con test for it, though the west end of the state stood together in selecting the location. A report given out during the session showing that in 1895 there were 10,8lt; members of tbe Grand Army in this state, and a poll of the membership from records and other sourses showed, on May 1 of this year, only 4,338 a loss of per cent in twelve years, showing how rapidly the members are joining the Grand Army above. The election of officers shows the following chosen to look after the bus ness of the Department of Nebraska for the coming year: Department Commander Thomas A. Creigb, Omaha. Senior Vice Commander Eli A. Barnes, Grand Island. Vice Co mciander E. G. Lyle, Wa hoo. Medical Director S. B. Lutgen, Brock. Chaplai-n Rev. John P. Smith, Ne braska City.

Alice Cooper, the Chicago sculptress, is figuring In the daily papers as one of the principals in an affair by which Nat. Hubbard of Cedar Rapids, leaves his wife and old dying mother. He is a son of Judge Hubbard, for so many years the leading Iowa attorney for the Northwestern railroad, says the Glenwood Opinion. In conversation with one of the early pioneers of Plattsmouth, he informed the Journal that he had heard Mr. Cooper preach discourses in an old log house in the south part of Platts mouth in the early days, when the country was very sparsely settled and but about a half dozen houses where the city now stands. Alice Cooper was born in Mills coun ty, near Glenwood. Her father was the son of Peter Cooper, the pioneer Methodis minister who preached the first sermon on the site of the city of Omaha. Her father managed the mill at Glenwood, and later moved to Colo rado where he made several fortunes in speculation, and -himself founded the Colorado town of Glenwood Springs named after hfs old Iowa home town. AKce Cooper became famous as the sculptrtss who designed and executed the statue of Sacajawea, the "bird woman," who guided Lewis and Clark across Ihe mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and it was her statue that stood at the gates of the Tecent expo sition at Portland. The Call of Alice "Cooper and Nat. Hubbtrd shows to wbat dangers tbe countTry is drifting 1a its social life.

Jesse Godwin while driving a car riage from tbe Parmele barn Mon day afternoon, near the Masonic Home, had a runaway. It seems as though one of the tugs became unhitched in some way and the tongue coming down ran into the ground and break ing the double trees and breaking loose from the carriage, also pulling over the dashboard or rather pulling the dashboard and Mr. Godwin out of the buggy, and getting away. The horses ran down the avenue, and when they tried to turn the corner at Sixth and Vine they were unable to do so at the speed they were going and one of the horses fell when they were caught. No one was hurt though there was an other young man and a woman and a child in the rig at tbe time they started. Happy Hollow Very Unhappy. The residents of Happy Hollow were trying to be happy Sunday evening and got very unhappy before they got through with tbe matter. Itappears that at the home of Louis Abl, a keg of beer was on tap, and w hen It ran out they got some wine, and the two did not mix well, and caused those that took it to disagree as well, and finally resulted in a free for all fight, in which Mike Prels got one of his fingers somewhat lacerated, Chas. Sitzman seemed a little the worse for the wear also. While Fred Voght man and Louis Abl were not dis figured to speak of. Warrants were sworn out for the four Mike Preis, Louis Abl, Fred Voghtman and Charles Sitzman. Three of whom pleaded guilty to the charge of being drunk, and got the penalty, provided by the statute, ($10 and costs) making in round numbers aboct $15 each. Fred Voghtman pleaded not guilty, and his case was set for tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. H ftel Fairy From, the looks of the old White El ephant, it would seem as though Aug Bach was a.

The Masonic lodge at their meeting Monday eve., elected the following of ficers for the coming term: W. L. Pickett, W. M.; Oliver C. Dovey, S. W.; Frank L. Cummins, J. W.; A. W. White, Treasurer; M. Archer, Secre tary. The appointive officers are: G. W.Thomas, S. D.; J. W. Crabill, J. D.; Robert Hayes, S. S.; Fred Ramge, J. S. and Fred Stadlemann, Tyler. They Fooled Them All. That there has been something out of the ordinary in the actions of L. K. Upton of Union in the way he had been making preparations for house keeping, and still persisting that he bad no intention of getting married, that was not in keeping with the way others do, is a sure thing. Much has been the joshlngs that he has received as to whether he was going to get married and as to whether be was al ready married, but to no effect-ho would neither deny nor affirm the fact, until the present, when he admit ted that he was the happy husband of the former Miss Nina Lynde, a fasci nating young lady of Union. They were married at Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the 17th of March last. The Journal with its many friends from all parts of the county, wish them all the joy of the promise, and that their pathway may be strewn with roses, and that in the picking of them, our friends may not have the misfortune of coming into the rough contact with the thorns. B&se Ball and More Base Bald. The game on the local grounds lasU Saturday between the Red So a anf the Townsend Gun Club resulted in a victory for the Red Sox by a score of to 4, the Red Sox not playing the last part of the ninth inning. The game played at Glenwood e- tween tbe High school team and the White Sox of that place, was a great game, t rom tne nrsi it was bmuchi that the boys across tbe river knew how to play ball and were not in the least backward in doing so. While the team from here were putting up as good a game as they had with them, the White Sox were beating them to it. The result of the game was Glen wood 18 to Plattsmouth's 1, that Is more than was expected even under Free Silver. The Red Sox crossed bats with the Storr. team, at Omaha yesterday, a couple of tlmes.the first resulting in a victory for our boys at the tune of 30 to 3, while in thelatter game Omaha's team got there with the goods ncorlntf six runs and only allowing oui boys three. A large crowd from here were In Omaha to witness the game, in round numbers it is estimated that there were some two hundred, as It was said that in looking over the grand stand every other person was from Plattsmouth. The Judge's Pass Still Discussed. Judge Sullivan, of Plattsmouth, was in the city yesterday on a visit with his daughter, Mrs. Asa Snyder. lie sa.js he still retains his pass and ln story that it had been taken away from him was "false, libelous, malicious.
