Chronic Hoarseness.
Mrs. Delia C. Cameron, llcaidsbu
Cal.. member Daughters
writes:
"Having tried many remedies for
chronic catarrh of the bronchial tules,
and not receiving any benefit, I began
to think there was no help for mo until
I began to use Feruna.
MIn a short time the bronchial tubes
began to clear, I did not have that 'frog
in my throat continually, my voice was
not nearly so husky, and the wheezing
noise disappeared.
"I was goon able to believe that I was
entirely free from catarrh, and as this
was several months ago, I do not believe
that it will return."
The above group of women could be
multiplied by ten thousand without
reaching the numler that have been
helped by taking Peruna.

Miss Emily Koch, 914 Michigan Ave.,

"I can heartily recommend Peruna
for catarrh of the stomach. 1 had tried
many things which did me no good and
as a last resort I got a bottle of Peruna.
"I only regret that I did not try it be
fore I forced so much bad stuff into my
stomach. It has entirely cured me and
as a preventative 1 always keep a bottle
in the house.

A Sensible View
State Superintendent ,of Public In
struction McBrien has instituted a cam
paign against teaching vertical writing
in the public schools and in his efforts
he will have the support of every friend
of the young people in the state. Every
instructor will admit that vertical
writing is a failure it is not legible
and there is no individuality in it. One
signature looks like the other. A good
plain, open, running hand is the best
style of writing. It can be easily read,
and that is more than can be claimed for
the crazy vertical system.

Bronchial Cctarrh.
Mrs. Wm. Ilohmann, 569 N. Paulina
St., Chicago, 111., writes :
"I suffered with catarrh of the
bronchial tubes and had a terrible
cough ever since a child. When a child
it was supposed, to bo whooping cough
or the croup, but as I got older it got
worse.
."After a while It got so bad 1 had to
cough both winter and summer. Fi
nally I burst a blood vessel in my throat
from the strain of coughing, next a
blood vessel in my stomach, go I kept
getting worse and doctoring, and even
then could get no relief.
"I went to a dispensary for treatment,
but it all done me no good. At night I
could never lie on my back. I would sit
up until two or three o'clock in the
morning before I could close my eyes.
Then of course, I thought, and every,
body else that I had consumption.
'Reading the papers about Peruna I
decided to try it without the least hope
that it would do me any good. But after
taking three bottles I noticed a change.
My appetite got better, so I kept on,
never got discouraged.
"Now I can lie on my back and sleep
all night, and you may well think how
thankful 1 am for Peruna."
A TIP ON SEP
TEMBER WEATHER
We May Expect Mild Weather
For the Present Month
September brings the monthly cita
tions of past September weather simply
as an indication, but not a promise, of
what we may expect this month. For
twenty-three years the normal Sep
tember temperature has been 66 de
grees. Ihe warmest month was in
1897, when it was 75, and the coldest in
1896, when the mean was 62. The
highest September temperature was
101 degree on the fifth of that month
in 1899, and the coldest on tha 29th in
the same year. The earliest killing
frost in twenty-three years was Sep
tember 12 in 1902 but on an average it
does not come along until October 9.
.- The average September rainfall for
twenty-five years has been 2.55 inches,
but in 1906 it was 7.60 while in 1888
only eighty-one hundredths of an inch
fell in that month. The greatest rain
fall ever recorded for one day during
the twenty-five years in September was
2.79 inches on the 16th and 17th last
year.
There has been an average of fifteen
clear days in September during the past
twenty-five years, eight partly cloudy
and seven cloudy. The prevailing
winds are from the southeast and the
average hourly velocity ten and a half
miles, although on the 11th in 1900 it
ran up to 56 miles.
A Serious Problem.
With the advance of prosperity in
other lines, the school teacher has not
felt the increase in pay, as has been the
case in other directions. As a conse
quence in many places, caused from the
lowness of the salaries paid, the schools
cannot get the amount of teachers that
is required. Word comes from Huron,
South Dakota, that the county in which
it is situated, (Beadle) which has one
hundred and twenty schools, has now
only seventy teachers,, leaving fifty
schools without teachers, or only about
sixty per cent of the amount that is
necessary to supply the schools.

Sketch of F. M. Richey
About twelve miles north of the city of
Columbu8,0hio,inthe year 1811,a young
ster came to this world who was in the
years that were to come, to take a part
the making of Old PIattsmouth,and who
was to prove a staunch friend to the
town, staying with her through thick
and thin, being her supporter and fight
ing her battles through rain and shine,
ever on the alert for anything which
would redound to the advantage of the
city of his adoption. Not the town which
he had grown to manhood in, but the
one which had appealed to his soberer
years and more mature judgment.
When six months old this live youngster
at the solicitation of his fatherwhowas
at that time moving to Zanesville, Ohio,
on the Sciota river, accompanied him.
Here on a farm the earlier portion of
his boyhood was passed, and at the age
of thirteen, in the fall of 1854, with his
father's family, Francis Marion Richey
moved from Zanesville to Knoxville,
Iowa. Here he remained over winter,
or for a period of about six months.
In the early spring of 1855, the Richey
family moved to a point about four miles
north of the city of Afton, Iowa, and
began life on a prairie farm. Here for
six years they worked as was the usage
of the pioneers of those days, bringing
a little more of the farm under cultiva
tion during the summer and doing what
work there was to do, and attending the
"deestrict school" during the winter.
In 1860 young Richey went to Afton and
engaged in freighting which was done
from Eddyville, Ottumwa, Albia, Chari
ton and Osceola, as the railroad was
built farther west but the most of it was
done from Eddyville and Ottumwa.
After being there for about three years
engaged in that business, the alluring
tales of the west appealed to him and
he came to Plattsmouth and worked for
J. F. Doud on the farm now owned by
Chas. Cook, for about a month, and as
a company of freighters were going to
Denver, the western fever still running
warm in his veins, he joined a company
and made a trip to Denver. In the same
company was F. M. Young and W. A.
Taylor, living south of town at the pres
ent time. After the trip something in
Iowa seemed to attract him and he found
his way back to Afton. Two years later
he was married.
About two years after the Richey fam
ily moved on the farm north of Afton,
Mr. Richey's father died and he was
compelled to assume the head of the
household although then only about fif
teen years old. After returning to Af
ton, having been to Denver, he again
engaged in the freighting business and
was well acquainted and became a very
close friend of Thomas Potter, who was
then running a commission house at Ed
dyville, Iowa, which was the terminus
of the old Des Moines Valley railroad.
When the Burlington railroad reached
Afton which was in 1868, the business
which Mr. Richey had carried on was at
an end as he was not able to compete
with the railroad in carrying freight.
The following year, 1869, he was elect
ed to fill a partial term as sheriff of Un
ion county, Iowa, and fcr four succes
sive terms thereafter was elected to the
same office. One time with a driver of
a three-seated rig, he took four crimi
nals from Afton to Winterset, a distance
of thirty miles, without a handcuff on
any of them. Two of the parties were
murders: one had held up a man and
robbed him of $375 and the other had
stolen $800 from another man. This
showed he must have had to be on his
guard and know how to handle men.
During this time he saved enough to
buy a farm which was located about a
mile and a half from the old homestead
where he had helDed make, having did
most of the work in the making of the
farm years before. After the long term
of successful administration in the office
of sheriff was over, he moved to his
farm to live. Here he stayed for about
three years during which time he was
elected to the Iowa legislature, serving
one term.
In 1882 he sold his farm and came to
Plattsmouth and has ever since identifi
ed himself with the city and its inter
ests. J. G. Richey, his brother, had
come to this place about three years
previous and entered into partnership
with John C. Cummins. When F. M,
Richey came to Plattsmouth in 1882, he
purchased Mr. Cummins' interest in the
lumber yard owned by him and J. G
Richey, and the firm became Richey
Bros., and so continued thus until 1891,
when F. M. Richey became entire own
er of the business. Two years after he
came here he was solicited to becoirie
the republican candidate for mayor; this
was to fill an unexpired term and was
for only one year; after serving for this
time he was defeated the next year by
John Simpson. During the next two
terms, after the serving of 1886-87 by
Simpson, Mr. Richey was elected and
succeeded himself, continuing in office
during the time from 1888 to 1892 and
was succeeded by C. M. Butler.
During his first term as mayor he lost
his wife, 1885. This was a severe blow
to Mr. Richey as he had a family of
small children to care for and raise,
and which he has done in an exception
ally fine manner. The children, who
consider it an honor to call him father,
are such as anyone could well be proud
of.
When anything menaced the welfare
of the city he was at the gap, exerting
all he could to stem the tide when it was
against the interests of the welfare of
the community's good. When the shops
were in danger of being removed from
here, he with M. B. Murphy, went to
Omaha and with very concise statements
and pertinent argument, turned what
seemed to he a foregone conclusion, into
the retaining of that portion which we
now have of the Burlington's plant.
When the county seat question was at
its height and there was danger that it
might be removed, who worker harder
and stood for more of the expenses of
the fight than did this man, who had
thrown his lot with the old town years
before?
In 1898 during the time when we were
in the throes of a war with Spain, the
City government was severely censured I
by the republican party, partly by rea-1
son of it being democratic and partly on I
account of the declaration of the candi
date for the position of mayor on the
democratic ticket, John Gutsche, Mr.
Ritchey was induced to accept the nom
ination for mayor and was elected, serv
ing until 1900. During the last few
years Mr. Richey has had interest
ed with him his sons, Frank and Em
mons, in the lumber business, and not
withstanding when times of depression
have come, have enjoyed a good busi
ness. During the times when floods
came he, .with others have suffered
nominal losses, but has been ever ready
and more than willing to do his portion
of the work and bearing his share of the
expenses for anything which was for
the good of the city.
FIFTY YEARS
AGO TODAY
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dill Cel
ebrate Their Golden.
Wedding.
Andrew Dill was bom near Hamden,
Onio, on the 29th day of June, 1830, and
Miss Susan Franklin was born near
Zanesyille, Ohio, August 8th, 1834. They
were married just fifty years ago to
day, on the thirtieth day of August,
1857, about .twelve miles west of Ster
ling, Whiteside count y, Illinois. For
fifty years they have, hand in hand,
borne the summer's heat and winter's
cold, making many friends and keeping
all they made. Today at their home in
this city, as a culmination of their rela
tives and friends, they were surprised,
when a large number of their family
and friends called on them to make
merry with them, for the fact they had
withstood the sparing hand of time, and
were able to greet their many friends
on this occasion. They spread their
tables on the lawn under the cool shade
of the lucust tree, and there partook of
the bountiful dinner, which was to mark
the fifty years of married life. Those
to meet and mingle with them on this
occasion were Messrs and Mesdames B.
F. Brendel, of Murray, Jacob Treitch,
Leonard Born, Chas. Troop and John
McNurlin, of Plattsmouth; James Wal
ker, Henry M, Long, Levi Ruster
holtz, Lee Oldham, J. B. Seaboldt and
Ben Dill of Murray, Abbott Murdock
and wife, Richard Colvin of Nehawka,
John Davis of Tek amah, Hattie J. Davis
of Wellington, Colorado, Mary Ellis
Hipps of Lyons, Nebraska, Miss Mary
Troop, E. E. Monroe and wife of Paci
fic Junction, Ben Dill's children Edith,
Frank, Addie, Ethel, Grace, Fern and
Lester, Chas. and Ray Dill and wives,
sons of Ben Dill, Riley Dill and wife of
Tekamah and two children, Monroe and
Ruby, and Uncle Conrad Heisel.
Fine Rocking Chairs
Yesterday at the golden wedding cele
bration of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dill,
these splendid old people were presented
each with a fine easy chair, as a memento
of the happy event, by those present,
and especially those who have known
Mr. and Mrs. Dill so long. Those who
contributed to these highly appreciated
gifts are as follows, each one giving $1:
Alice Hipp, Henry Long, H. L. Oldham,
C. R. Troop, H. C. McMaken, F. M.
Young, sr., Dr. Brendel, G. A. Mur

Ray Dill, Charley Dill, R. C. Dill,, Ben
Dill, J. B. Seyboldt, Mrs. Colvin, " Mrs.
Morrow, John A. Davis.
New Stock Company Incorporate
The S. F. Stock company yesterday
filed articles of incorporation forming a
company for the raising, buying, selling
and shipping stock and for buying, sell
ing and owning lands, ranches and farms
for the purpose of raising, pasturing
and feeding of stock of all kinds. The
capital stock of the concern shall be
$100,000 divided in to shares of $100
each, which when sold shall be fully
paid for. They shall begin business on
October 1, 1907, and for the present the
incorporators will be the officers which
consist of Frank E. Schlater, Ed and
James Fitzgerald.
How's This?
A Plattsmouth man certainly has the
edge on the milliners. His wife and
daughter have availed themselves of
the prevailing styles and bought a
handsome hat. The wife wears it hind
side before when she goes out. When
her daughter goes out she wears the
same hat right side before. Thus they
seem to have two seperate and j
distinct hats. .
SEC0I1D WILES
FAMILY REUNION
The second annual reunion of the
Wiles family occurred at the home of
Thomas Wiles, about two miles west of
town, in his beautiful grove yesterday.
One year ago, the first reunion occur
red, and was a grand success, there be
ing present at that time 173 members o(
the Wiles family, and it being the first
was greatly enjoyed by all who attend
ed. The second, which occurred yester
day, at the same place, was largely at
tended and was as greatly enjoyed as
the other had been, but owing to some
circumstances beyond which those pre
sent had no control, the number of the
family present was sixteen less. Oneof
these, Mrs. Jennie Wiles, the wife of
Thomas Wiles, was called to the other
shore, and another, Mrs. Anna Hart-
man, of St. Joseph, Mo., also passed
away just a few days ago. Mrs.
Stephen Wiles, sr., and daughter, Isa
bel, are now at that point, called there
by the illness and death of the lady last
named. T. Frank Wiles, of Omaha, and
wife were not able to be present, as
neither was Henry E. Maxwell, who is
a candidate for the nomination on the
republican ticket for district judge; and
was looking after his fences in Omaha.
Dr. John L. Wiles, of Kansas City, who
is greatly interested in the Ixxse-Wile8
Cracker. Company, and who had just re
cently returned from a trip to Europe,
and was on for an address, was kept
away by an important operation on a
parent's eye, which could not well be
deferred; he sent his regrets in a letter
of encouragement and congratulations.
The opening of the program was an
address of welcome by Thomas Wiles,
who spoke of the good time which they
had experienced at the past meeting,
and extended to all present that cordial
welcome which is characteristic of the
speaker and is reciprocated by all thoe
attending. This address, which was
greeted with cheers and a general good
feeling, was followed by the singing of
"America," by the entire crowd as
sembled, and they made the "welkin
ring" and as well the words, which was
filled with the melody.
Addresses were made also by Will T.
Adams and Wm. Clark, of Council
BlufTs, both of which were good and
were appreciated by the members pre
sent. Following this was served the
dinner in the grove, which had been pro
vided by those present, and with the
sauce of laughter and good natured
haffing, was immensely enjoyed. Af
ter the dinner a season of social visiting
and reminescenses story tellinging, with
conversation on current events followed.
The last address, and one which closed
the session for the year, was given by
Rev. Loren Wiles, the subject being
"The Upbuilding of the Wiles Family,"
and was in a nature, a character build
ing lecture, making many fine point,
and was encouraged by a class of citi
zenship represented before him. All of
that sturdy, moral character, which
marks the people which had gathered to
reunite and enjoy each other's company
on this occasion. Following this ad
dress, which was appreciated by all and
was an inspiration to all the listeners as
well as the speaker, was the closing
song, "God Be With Us Until We Meet
Again," and the sentiment of song was
the breathed prayer of all who sang it.
The oldest person present was Aunt
Rachael Adams, who was 85 years of
age; and the youngest was an infant
son of Arthur and Bernice Wiles, who
had not arrivesd at a distinction of re
ceiving a name. Those present covered
four generations. The reunion has been
made an annual affair now, and they
will meet at the same place next year.
Cass County's "Heavenly Land"
In giving an account last week of the
death of a lady, one of our Cass county
exchanges said : ' 'The husband preceded
her to that heavenly land and was
brought back to his old home in Cass
county." Here a decided preference
for Nebraska was shown over the
"heavenly land." We have always
held a high opinion of Cass county and
know its soil to be as good as the best, bat
it is the first time that we can recall
when its land was so attractive that a
man who went to the "heavenly land"
was brought back and laid away under
its beautiful bluegrass sod. No doubt
the real estate agents in this county
will use this for the purpose of ad
vertising Cass county real estate. When
a county has land so promising that it
can allure residents of the "heavenly
land" somebody has a cinch.
Liable to Fine.
An Iowa exchange says: "The mer
chants of Wellman have signed and pub
lished an agreement to stop buying rot
ten eggs of the farmers, and all suspi
cious eggs will be candled before paid
for. They are doing this to protect
themselves under the pure food law, as
a merchant who buys and sells again
rotten eggs is liable to a heavy fine as
well as the party who first takes them
to market. ' ' We have warned our mer-
chants several times on the rotten egg
business, and it is their business to
warn the farmers who bring such eggs
to town. They can very easily tell the
stale eggs from the fresh ones, and a
little caution now may save the mer
chants or the farmer who brings them
to market several dollars in fines. '
