KIDNEYTROUBLE Suffered Two Years Relieved In Threi A Tn nt 'hi. Wim&i&ite S : fi 1V1 wr ll.FJZKK, Mt. Sterling, Kyn ilea : have suffered with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced lining l'eruna and continued for three months. I liavo not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "1 believe that I am w-ll and I there fore give my hilx'st commendation to the curative qualities o l'eruna." Pe-rii-na Tor Kidney Trouble. Mrs. "Jeo. II. Sinwr, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for aloiit four Tears. had kidney trouble, and, la fact, felt badly nearly all the time. I'his Ktiiiiiuer I rt so very had I thought I would try l'eruna, bo I wrote to yiui and !egan at once to take l'eruna end Manalin. "I took only two bottlea of Peruna anil one of Manalin, aud now I feel better than I have for some time. "1 feel that l'eruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. 1 Meris theday I picked up the little book and read of your l'eruna." It Is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must Ik? active all the tine, else the rysleui buffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. l'eruna is exactly this port of a rem edy. It ha.s saved many people from disaster ly rendering the kidneys ser vice at a lime when they were not able to beur their own burdens. An CId Resident. H. K. (inives. of Ilulo, uncle of C.

His wife died on Sept. th. and after making a visit among his relatives he will go to St. Joseph to make his home. It had been more than thirty years since we had seen "Unc'.e Kbb." and of course we .'n joyed the visit. Union Ledger. A Certain Cute for Crodp Used for Ten Years Without a Failure. Mr. W. C. liott, 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 Co.. anil Plattsmouth Drug company. Roy Kline in Limbo. Roy Kline has apartments at the present time at the Hotel de Man speaker, secured on application of Miss Georgia Smith, charging him with being guilty of a statutory ofTence. At the present time nothing has been done farther than the matter of his ar rest. Roy has admitted to an inter viewer that, in all probability, he is ne is me party wnicn win ne held accountable for the conditions. Some time since we called at tention to the practice of young girls frequenting places at night with young men and boys, where the danger lurked of trouble coming to them. Parents were warned through the columns of this paper, also stating that arrests would be made, if, at unseemly hours young couples should be found in the public parks and other places. These precautions were taken for the benefit of all parties concerned in the matter, and that the good character of these young people might be preserved, and the trouble coming to the parents be averted. In this case, the young lady in ques tion, has the misfortune to have no mother to look after her welfare. How sad such a case is! For how many dangers lurk in the pathway of such a one, without the good advice and tender care of a loving mother? So much more detestible is the action of a young man, under these circumstances, know ing them so well and when he should prove a friend, and shield her from the very things, which he through the guise of friendship, accomplishes her ruin. There is only one course that can be persued, which will in anyway mitigate the action of any young man under these circumstances, and that is to make the injured his wife, thus be coming the rightful protector of her character, her good name and all her interests. This does not undo the wrong which has been done, but is the only honorable course which he can pursue. Let this and the warnings which have been given from time to time be of benefit to the people who have been in the habit of allowing their girls to run the streets at night, before it is to late. It is a wonder that the papers of Plattsmouth have not had more of such cases to chronicle, from the manner in which young girls have been allowed to j pace the streets at night unaecompain- j ea dv a protector. xo young triri nas any business on the streets after eight o'clock, and not then, unless she is ac companied by her father, mother or brother. Maybe parents will heed an other warning and thus save disgrace to their daughters as well as to themselves. OFFICE OF COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT A Few Reasons for the Election of Miss Mary E. Foster. The Editor's Lament. Our garments are old, and tattered nd torn; the soles of our shoes are shockingly worn; the crown and the rim are gone from our hat; our cupboard is empty not even a rat would stay around the house for fear he would starve, or that we might think him a good chance to carve; and yet we ask nothing but what is our due; and if we but had it perhaps sir, from you in stead of this sad tale of woe that we sing, we'd joyfully shout and live like a king. Editors and Doctors. I he Ladies nome journal makes a comparison between the editor and the doctor which is not at all unfavorable to the editor. It savs: "If an editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for it. but if the doctor makes a mistake he buries it. If an editor makes one there is a lawsuit, swearing and the smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and the smell of varnish. A doctor can use a word a yard long with out knowing what it means, but if any editor uses it he has to spell it. Any old college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor; he has to be born." How to Cure a Cold." The question of how to cure a cold without unnecessary loss of time is one in which we are all more or less in terested, for the quicker a cold is got ten rid of, the less danger of pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr. B. V. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va.. has used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for years and says: "I firmly believe Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the market for colds. I have recommended it to my friends and the all agree with me." For sale by F. G. Fricke & Co., and The Plattsmouth Drug Co. $131.25 Per Acre. The Cedar Lawn Stock farm, of 160 acres, four miles south of Louisville and owned by John D. Ferguson, was sold recently to Mr. Peter Vegler, a wealthy Cass county farmer; consideration, $21,000. This makes $131.25 per acre. Mr.' Ferguson will retire from farm life and contemplates buying a home in I Linco In, where he will move his family In Police Court. Yesterday afternoon, on a complaint filed by J. G. Clugey, Horace Dunn was arrested for disturbing the peace, and fined two dollars and costs, in all, amounting to five dollars, which was paid. The trouble arose about some grading which was being done on the Missouri Pacific, near the Dunn resi dence, and was the result of a misun derstanding between the two parties. John Hartman was arraigned on the charge of disturbing the peace, and was assessed two dollars fine and costs, which swelled the amount to five dol lars, which he paid. The cause of this trouble was an old score. Endorses the Judge's Action. There was a man by the name of McVey arrested for leaving his team on the street for an inordinate length of time at Plattsmouth the other day and was assessed five dollars and costs for the offense of leaving them to suffer in the harness from thirst and hunger. We have wondered how such a law as that would work in Nehawka. We have seen teams standing tied to the hitch rack for eight or nine hours. We have often wished that we had the power to tie men up that would do that and let them suffer as they make their dumb brutes. A man who will mistreat a horse like that is not fit to be called a man, he is lower than a brute. Ne hawka Register. Mrs. Hall Very Sick Mrs. P. S. Hall, living at Rock Bluffs, is very sick, and well advanced in age, ana with both the sickness and her advanced years her condition is very serious. Her daughter, Mrs. David Allen, of Omaha, was sent for, and she with her husbnnd came iu yesterday morning on the Mo.. Pacific and went to Rock Bluffs. Mr. Allen is living in Omaha where he is a smith in an auto mobile factory. It is hoped that Mrs. Hall's health may improve and that she may recover her lost strength. For the first time in the history of Cass county, the voters have the pri vilege of electing a woman to a county office one of the most important and responsible that of superintendent of uchools. The advancement of women in educa tional lines has been very marked with in the last half century, and particu larly so during the last twenty-five years. While popularly called advance ment, yet it is more properly a recogni tion of merit and ability. Within the recollection of many now living, a woman teacher, in either pub lic or private school, was considered ridiculous and absurd. The popular be lief then was, that men only were fitted by nature or education to teach school. This belief was founded upon two prin cipal theories long since exploded. First, that women did not have mentality suf ficient to become qualified educators; and, second, that they did not possess sufficient physical ability to wield the birch rod or hickory sprout, or, in other words, could not discipline the pupils. But since those early days, the people in general have progressed. They have come to recognize a fact that has ex isted at and since the first child was born, that the child's first teacher was a woman the mother. The first artic ulate sound uttered by the child was guided into language by a woman- the mother. This incipient language may have been the sound of a letter or a combination of letters forming a word the name of an object, and the child thus taught an idea a thought. Words were united, thus forming spoken and written lan guagethe vehicle of thought and ex pression of ideas. And who thus laid the educational foundation in the tod dling, lisping infant? All must answer that it was the work and patient teach ing of a irnmiii). And what about the child's first 7.-r"t That too was the work of a woman the mother. Many of us recall the "spankings" mother gave us in connection with our earliest teaching. Some of these "spankings" were considerable and many of them more so. But the "spank ing, " whether with the hand or by j beech, birch or hickory, were very ef fective in commanding obedience and securing discipline. Who will say that our first teachers, our mothers, were not yood teachers as well as model disciplinarians? But woman did not stop with this first edu cation and first discipline. She con tinued to unfold the young mind to widen, broaden, make deeper and higher the intellectual development. .Even when the child entered the public school, its first teacher continued the work of teaching and of discipline, thus co-operating with her who taught the district school. Is it any wonder then that iromeu to day teach more than nine-tenths of our public schools? . Forty years ago men taught nearly every public schoo in Cass county and in Nebraska. But parents, school officers and educators have, long since, recognized ability and merit of women teachers. Nor are selections of women teachers restricted to class, nationality, religious or political creed. The test for this most honorable position is qualification alone. It matters not .whether she be American, English, German, Irish. Bo hemian, Swede or Dane, or whether she be Protestant, Catholic or a member of any church organization, the test re mains the same qualification. And how pre-eminently these qualifications are illustrated in the women teachers throughout Nebraska! In Cass county nearly every school district is now, and for years has been supplied with a woman teacher, and these teachers are selected without pre ference of church or political creed and without regard to nationality. And it is a fact, that among the best and most successful teachers in the schools of Cass county, are women whose Jparent- age is of foreign nationality. In the Plattsmouth High school one of the best in the state with two ex ceptions, all are women teachers. Among these lady teachers are a num ber of foreign nationality, who, under our American school system, have pro gressed upward and onward until they take rank among the best and most sue cessful instructors. Since women teachers are now, and have been for years, doing the work in the schoolroom in Cass county, is there any reason why the leading teacher of county the Superintentent of Schools should not be a woman. Other counties in Nebraska have placed women in that responsible office and in every instance they have proved successful. Cass county has now an opportunity to emulate the good exam ple to recognize well earned merit in a woman School Superintendent as it rec ognizes her ability in schoolroom work. Miss Mary E. Foster is not a politi cian, nor a candidate through manipu lation of a political convention, but is the choice of a large number of " voters from every part of Cass county. While nominally a candidate on a party ticket. yet her candidacy is submitted to the voters of Cass county, irrespective of political or religious creed, and with special reference to educational mat ters, to her special training, experience and qualifications for the office. Since the school boards of Cass coun ty, composed exclusively of men, now employ women teachers in more than nine cases out of ten, is there any rea son why the County Superintendent of Schools should not be a woman? And especially so, since that woman has specially fitted herself for the teacher's profession? Let the answer be a vote for Miss Mary E. Foster. MUCH BETTER WAY And the Only Just and Proper Manner in Making Such Settlement. The Journal on Saturday refered to a case in court which involved two young people, a young man about eighteen and a young lady about seventeen. It was a case somewhat similar to the Chrisweiser-Jenkins case, which gained such notoriety in district court last week. But the settlement of the case last Saturday was prompt, effective and is very creditable to the parties imme diately concerned. It was a settlement which goes far toward removing dis grace and making atonement for the mistakes of youth. The young lady and her father con sulted Attorney Byron Clark, who, be cause of legal work at Lincoln and else where, could not look after the young lady's interests, turned the case over to our young attorney, Will C. Ramsey. With his well known energy Will went to work on behalf of the young lady. He sought an interview with the young man, then in jail, and advised him that there was only one honorable way to settle the case that he must marry the young lady. The young man wanted permission to go out into the country about eleven miles, to see his father and mother. To this Will objected and sug gested the teleghone, by which the young attorney called up the parents requested their immediate presence in Plattsmouth on very important busi ness. The parents reported at Will's office about 2 o'clock Saturday. The situation was fully explained, Sheriff Quinton brought the young man over and he and his parents were soon in private consultation. Soon after ward Will brought his client to the of fice and she was sent into the private room to meet the young man and his father and mother. After while the young couple and father and mother of the pi-ospective groom came out of the private office and accompanied by Will and Sheriff Quinton, went across the street to in terview Judge Travis. Soon a marriage license sealed the settlement and at 4 o'clock Saturday evening, the impres sive words of Judge Archer, "I now pronounce you husband and wife" sol emnized the covenant of settlement. The young man had been placed un der arrest late Friday evening, and in less than 24 hours from that time the matter was settled by the only honor able coursa for all concerned. More High Priced Land. Last Saturday another big land deal was brought to a close in the real estate exchange of Falter & Coates in this city, whereby John Wehrbein becomes the owner of the finely improved farm of George Perry, . eight miles west of Plattsmouth for which he pays $100 per acre, aggregating $16,000. This is one of the finest farms in Cass county, and while the price seems rather large. Mr. Wehrbein only paid what the aver age farm of the high class is bringing on the market today, and the purchaser is well pleased with the total consider ation in the deal. Mr. Wehrbein sells his farm down near Wabash, five miles west of Weeping Water, to Chris. Christensen, for $14,662. This farm was bought about two years ago by Mr. Wehrbein of C. C. Parmele for $12,225, and from the sale price it will be seen that he makes $2, 500 in two years and the rent for that period. This sale was made through W. H. Pool's agency at Weeping Water. It Wasn't Another Wreck. Some practical joker had a little fun Wednesday night with Luther Hall's steam engine which was left near the elevators with a supply of steam on hand. .About 1J o'clock a shrill whistle was heard, and continued so long that some of the citizens thought it was the distress signal from a wrecked train. We could name a few who left warm beds to render assistance at the "wreck" but saw the point when they discovered that the practical joker had fixed Hall's engine whistle to run as long as steam asted.
