THE WATERWAYS
CONVENTION
A Strong Pull Will Be Mario for
the Missouri River.
Probably the most important water
ways convention ever held in this coun
try will be that called to meet at Mem
phis this week. It will be attended by
the President, the members of the In
land Waterways commission, by many
senators, representatives and several
governors and by others interested in
the clevelopment of water traffic. This
convention will afford thepeople of Mis
souri valley the best opportunity they
have yet had to present the merits and
the needs of the Missouri river as a
highway of commerce.
Nebraska will be represented by Gov
ernor Sheldon, and numerous other dis
tinguished men, and by a strong dele
gation from Omaha. With such a dele
gation from this state as will attend
this convention, headed by Governor
Sheldon, the people interested in the
development of the Missouri river may
rest assured that their claims will be
strongly urged. This presentation will
be of a two-fold nature. It will include
the merits of the Missouri as a navig
able stream and the needs of the river
in the way of improvements.
For the present the former is the
more important. Only those who have
given especial study to the Missouri
river fully understand its claims, its
possibilities. It has been so long neg
lected that the present generation in
Congress and in the other federal de
partments have either never seriously
regarded it as a navigable stream or
have become indifferent to its value be
cause of the neglect of those who should
have kept the river transportation for
the Missouri valley to the front. If
those who will present the subject of
waterway development to Congress can
be made to understand the possibilities
of the Missouri river as a shipping me
dium, the fight for the proper appropri
ation will be practically won. For these
possibilifes so far overshadow the ne
cessary appropriations, even consider
ing the highest estimates made of the
expenditure required, but the outlay
would necessarly seem small in com
parison to the returns.
Hay ward Won Out
A special from Lincoln under date of
Septemi?r 30 says: "In the fight for
chairman of the republican state central
committee tonight. William Hay ward
of Nebraska City won out over J. W.
Kiefer at the meeting of the republican
state committee, by a vote of 16 to 13.
Kiefer was then made vice-chairman by
acclamation. F. P. Corrick of Lincoln
was elected secretary and Harry Lind
say financial agent and treasurer."
Snow in the Far West
Burlington reports yesterday indicated
heavy rains the entire length of the
state east and west. West of Akron,
Colorado, the rain changed to snow. It
was said that in no section has the rain
been so heavy that floods have resulted.
TRAGIC WORKERS
PLUNDER TRAIN
Organized Gang of Thieves Among the
Italians and Many Loose Jobs.
The discovery by the Burlington de
tectives that eight Italian laborers at
Ashland were a part of a gang of
thieves who have been robbing the Bur
lington trains of thousands of dollars of
merchandise between Chinago and Den
ver has led to a vigorous and systematic
search for parts of the gang through
out all the section outfits along the line.
Forty Italian laborers have just been
dismissed at Ashland, and altogether
along the lines in Nebraska it is said
some 300 have been let out.
One of the most profitable runs for
the gang was on merchandise train No.
77, between Creston and Ashland. The
thieves secreted themselves on the train
and during the night threw out boxes
of plunder at various points, one of the
thieves remaining to take care of the
stolen property. Ashland was the last
stop before daylight, at which the oper
ation on this particular train necessari
ly stopped.
Articles have been discovered in the
possession of the Italians of that p'ace
that were missed nearly a year ago and
which were consigned to Denver and
Salt Lake City. The first suspicion of
the Italian laborers developed after they
had plundered two outfit cars belonging
to men in the employ of the water ser
vice department.
Some sixty-five pairs of blankets and
numerous rubber "waders" were found
among the Italians, and after a vigor
ous search other valuable merchandise
was obtained which led to the discovery
of this organized body of thieves oper
ating along the Burlington.
George Horn Injured.
While walking on the wall of the
foundation for the new elevator that is
being built at at Cedar Creek sometime
since, stepping on a board, which turn
ed under his foot, caused George Horn
to fall, injuring his knee in such a way
that he was laid up in Let! for a long
time. We did not learn of the accident
at the time, and were unaware that he
been hurt until he came in Saturday.
Mr. Horn while he is so he can get
around, is far from being able to per
form any work. The injury was made
much worse by reason of occurring on
the same limb and at the same place
where he had a broken bone some years
ago. It is hoped he will soon recover
so that he may be able to get around
without the use of artificial supportei-s.
Mr. Horn gave the Journal a call Sat
urday evening, and stated he had just
gotten out of bed that morning for the
first time in nearly two weeks.
Worse Than Fifty Years Ago.
Dr. E. W. Cook has two brothers
living in Malvern, Iowa, one an attor
ney at law and the other in the grocery
business. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
O. H. Cook, live in Salem, Iowa, but
are now visiting with their sons at
Malvern. It was arraigned that the
Doctor and family should meet with
the families of brothers and parents
yesterday at Malvern and have a fami
ly reunion dinner. At about six o'clock
while talking about the matter as to
the perfecting of arrangements for go
ing, Mrs. Cook remarked that she did
not think No. 4 of the Burlington ran
on Sunday, and on inquiry such was
found to be the case. Then they, in
quired about No. 6, the early train, it
didn't stop as Malvern, and thinking
that No. 2, which leaves here at 5:13
in the evening would allow them some
little time they inquired about that, and
thereply wasitdoesnot stop at Malvern.
Well, they could not go. So the Doc
tor thought it well to telephone and tell
the folks that they could not be there.
So they tried to call them at 6 o'clock
Saturday evening and the line was busy,
at 7:30, again it was the same; again
they tried at 8, the line still busy; at
9:30 with the same result. The Doctor
thought he would await until morning,
and called again, to be told by the
'phone people that the line was down
and they could not get farther than
Glenwood, therefore could not get
Malvern by telephone.
All this and still we live in the 20th
century, and a city of more than 5000
inhabitants. We boast of our up-to-date
age in inventions, and appliances,
but it would look in some-cases as if a
good deal of our boasting is vanity.
A Certain Cure for Crodp Used for
Ten Years Without a Failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind.,
hardware merchant, is enthusiastic in
his praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and he has used this
remedy for the past ten years, and
though they much feared the croup, his
wife and he always felt safe upon re
tiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy was in the house. His
oldest child was subject to severe at
tacks of croup, but this remedy never
failed to effect a speedy cure. He has
recommended it to friends and neigh
bors and all who have used it say that
it is unequaled for croup and whooping
cough. For sale by F. G. Fricke and

Preparing Sample Ballot.
Secretary of State Junkin will get
out his sample ballot during the next
few days, and it will be similar to the
primary ballot. The governor will have
his proclamation out the first of the
week aud it will be exac tly like the
primary proclamation. Secretary of
State Junkin has received numerous in
quiries from county clerks regarding
putting names on the ballot which have
been written in. In some instances
nominations have been made in this
way. Where the matter is solely a
county question, Mr. Junkin will tell
the county clerk to follow the advice of
the county attorney. In some instances
were the names written in on the pri
mary ballot kept off of the November
ballot there would be no nominations
for certain offices unless the names were
put on the ballot by petition. In the
matter of state candidates, however,
the secretary will not consider the
names written in, as compared with the
total vote. The number voting this
way is small.
DEATH OF FORMER
PLATTSMOUTH LADY
Mrs. Peter Merges Passes Away at
the Methodist Hospital in Oma
ha This Morning
As mentioned in the Journal of last
Saturday, Mrs. Peter Merges, who has
been very low in the Methodist Hospit
al at Omaha, and not expected to live,
and was looking for the end, passed
away this morning at seven o'clock.
Mrs. Merges was formerly a resident
of this city, and a lady well loved by all
who knew her. In this city the Merges'
family lived for a number of years, and
while here Mrs. Merges formed a large
circle of very intimate friends. She
was a member of the Methodist church
at this place while they made their
home here. A number of years ago
the Merges' family moved to Omaha
where Mr. Merges, who had been in
the shoe business here, engaged with
the Omaha Street Railway company in
the capacity of conductor, here he re
mained for a number of years. During
the last few years. Mr. Merges invest
ed in real estate, with a hope of making
some money and at the time when the
last decline in prices came, lost all his
savings and went to the Pacific coast to
live with a brother. Mrs. Merges was
not able to go, and has remained at the
Methodist hospital, where she died.
Steve in Hard Luck
Steve Gyger was the central figure
in a runaway Saturday afternoon.. He
was out exercising his team about town
and when going at a good pace the
tongue came down. In the twinkling
of an eye the tongue and whippletrees
snapped, the horses broke loose from
the buggy and lit out, while the buggy
and Steve performed a summersault.
Steve emerged from the wreck, aud al
thoug badly bruised, was very thank
ful to find no bones broken. The bug
gy was almost, a total wreck. The
horses ran about two blocks and jumped
the fence into Si Mairs' yard where
they were caught. The harness was
damaged and the horses scratched up
considerable. Steve says he dosen't
care to repeat the experience. Elm

VISITED A FINE
COUNTRY
Walt Thomas and William llox
on Return From Their
Southern Trip.
W. L. Thomas, who has just recently
returned from the south, where he was
to see lands for sale there, says the
south contains some as fine lands as one
could wish to see anywhere. He was
at Matamoros, Mexico, the farthest
point south, which is just across from
Brownville, Texas. The lands just this
side of the Rio Grande river is very
much better and fertile, while the cli
mate is similar to that of lower Cal
ifornia, producing the same crops as
are grown in California, with about
fifteen hundred miles nearer to the
markets of the north, the central and
eastern states. The rainfall is suffic
ent for all crops with the exception of
rice, which has to be irrigated if it is
wished to be grown.
At Bay City, Texas, one of the points
which the party visited, Mr. Thomas'
brother-in-law, O. Waters, of Cold
Water, Michigan, bought a farm of one
hundred and sixty acres, for which he
paid $30.00 an acre. This land is al
most exclusively used for rice raising,
and produces from 13 to 22 sacks per
acre. Each sack contains three bushels
and sells from $1.25 to $1.40 per bushel,
which more than pays for the land in a
single crop. The rice is cultivated by
submerging the land with water, for
which the owners of the irrigation sys
tem charge one fifth of the crop. Wm.
Noxon who accompanied the party, on
his return stopped in Oklahoma, where
he also looked at lands for sale, arriv
ing home this morning.
ORE ABOUT THE
FREIGHT ROBBERS
Not an Easy Matter to Locate
Points Where the Thefts
Occurred
One trouble found in trying to con
vict men charged with robbing cars is
that it is hard to locate where the crime
was committed, says the Lincoln Jour
nal. For instance if men are caught at
Ashland, with goods in their possession,
and it is proved that the goods were
taken out of a car that started from
Chicago on a certain date, one problem
that arises is to learn whether the goods
were taken east or west of the Missouri
river. Again Ashland is near the cor
ners of four counties and the crime
might have been committed in either of
the four counties if the cars were taken
by way of Omaha on the way west.
Special Agent Malone of the Burling
ton has been against the problem a
number of times in the past and he is
not so certain that he is not up against
it in the case where he will take three
men to Iowa on Tuesday next to be
placed on trial for car robbing. Two of
the men, he avers have confessed to
robbing cars, and it is possible that they
will plead guilty. If they fight, how
ever, he may find it necessary to prove
where the cars were opened and where
the goods were taken out. That may
be an easy matter or it may be
difficult. In the present case, however,
Mr. Malone thinks that it will be pos-
siDie to prove where the cars
were
been
opened.
Recently the Union Pacific has
having a tussle with car robbers
freight trains have been robbed
. Its
soon
after leaving Omaha. In fact robberies
have occurred all the way across Ne
braska, and it is claimed many thous
and dollars' worth of goods have been
stolen from the cars. Recently special
agents of the company arrested a con
ductor and brakeman running out 'of
Omaha for having rifled a car a few
miles west of Omaha, and it is claimed
that train orders dropped by the con
ductor were afterwards found in the
car. The conductor told a story about
being held up by the robbers while they
went through the car.
THE OTHER BOY'S
REMAINS FOUND
Disappeared On the Las) Day
ot December Last
The Journal of Friday last contained
a small item in reference to the finding j
of what was supposed to be the remains
of Frank Dewey. The following special
from Ashland under date of Saturday
last gives the following particulars in
regard to the finding of the remains:
"The body of Frank Dewey, who was
drowned with Roscoe Wortman in the
Platte river December 31 last, was dis
covered this week on a sandbar by two
fishermen. It was badly decomposed,
but a skate still strapped to one of the
shoes gave a clue to identity. The body
was taken out and buried in Wortman
cemetery beside that of Roscoe Wort
man, whose remains were discovered in
the spring. The two boys left home to
go skating the afternoon preceding last
New Year's day and were never seen
alive again. As one of them had at
tempted to run away shortly before, it
was thought at the time they had made
their escape from home again and efforts
were made to find them all over the
country. In the spring their coats were
found under a Burlington culvert near
Ashland and it was then thought they
were drowned, as later proved the case. "
Is Appointed General Foreman
Robert Hayes, who have been fore
man of the coach shop for some time,
has been appointed to the position of
general foreman of the entire shops at
this place. This position had been dis
continued some time ago but it was
found necessary, and was again created
and Mr. Hayes given the position. Bob
Hayes is a young man who has grown
to manhood in this city, and a man of
exemplary habits, who has made good
in every position in which he has been
placed. This advancement comes to
him as the result of all tasks and duties
honestly and honorabiy done. In the
promotion of Mr. Hayes to this position,
the one making it does so with the full
knowledge, that he is abundantly pre
pared to look after the duties of the
position. We are pleased to know of
this recognition of merit in one who ha3
always proved himself the "master of
whatever situation has been given him,
and we know he will in this.
Will Go to the Gulf.
Peter Perry and Edgar Barker de
parted this afternoon for a trip to the
south which shall include Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Texas and probably Mexico
as the extreme point to the south.
They will go over much the same por
tion of the country which was recently
traversed by W. L. Thomas and Wm.
Nixon, and will see how farming is
done in that part of the country as
compared to the north. They expect
to be gone about two weeks.
