Kenning and Miss I.
Kthel i
llarker were on the move to
reach the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. Marker
before 1 (noon) to witness the mar
riage of these two estimable young peo
pie. The sky wes overcast early in the
morning and threatened a stormy day,
but by 12 o'clock the sun was shining
most beautifully. It would le hard to
find a more cheerful company anywhere.
Everything had worked well. The
young jK-ople of Cedar ('reek were on
hand to see how Charley would , 'stand
it." Those who were there know he
worked as easily at it as one quite as
accustomed to the most approved meth
ods and did his part so well the young
men inwardly said they intended to do
likewise at the first opportunity. Miss
Kthel was at her best and was easily
the center of attraction. The broad
beautiful gold ring was placet! on the
finder by the groom. At the organ,
Miss Lee, a noted music teacher, pre
sided. After the magic words were
spoken by Rev. .las. K. Maxfield of the
Louisville M. K. church, making the
two one, congratulations were in order
ami they were of the most hearty char
acter. Then all were invited to the
dining-room, where the table groaned
leneath its great burden. Such a din
ner. My, and such good-natured "folk"
taking care of it. There was more than
enough for all. Miss Eunice Barker,
sister of the bride, and Mr. Nicholas
Schafer attended the bride and groom.
Mr. ami Mrs. llarker gave additional
proof of their love of home, relatives
and all their neighbors. Their friends
were so much more numerous than their
rooms that they could not include others
in their invitations. Their hearts are
large.
Mr. and Mrs. Ilennings will be "at
home" in Louisville after March 1st
and will be pleased to entertain all their
friends.

Changes Course of Creek.
After a long time and much money
ypent in grading, the four mile creek
was turned into its new channel, there
by reclaiming about 130 acres of the
best farming land in Cass county. This
grading has been done on the old Mil
ler farm, now owned by Falter &
Coates, and has here-to-fore been
worthless. The water flowed through
the new channel for about five hours,
during which time, it cut ten extra
inches deeper in the bed of it. At the
end of that time the dam which has
been constructed to carry the water
from the old course showed a small leak
and the water was turned to the old
course, until the dam could be repaired
and rainforced, which was accomplished
and again at nine o'clock Monday
morning the water was again turned
into the new channel, the short time
which the water ran in the new
course baturday proved that the prop
osition was going to be a success.
Checks Don't Go in New York Yet.
Julius Pepperberg, the man that
made Plattsmouth famous as the home
f the "Buds," was in Nehawka Mon
day calling on his tnends. We never
feel just right unless he calls on us for
a little visit. He came to see us and
was not worried to any great extent on
the currency question, but has been
little inconvenienced by the stringency
of currency in New York. The other
day he sent his check for $300 to hi
tobacco brokers to pay the duty on a
bale of the Imported Sumatra tobacco
that he uses for wrappers, and his check
was returned with the request that he
send gold or currency by express, the
cost of which would be $2.15. He
thought this a little steep, so he pur
chased four money orders which will
get the money in New York for even
$1.00. The letter which he received
reported that currency was a premium,
but that they expected the situation to
dear shortly. Nebraska Register.

PLATTSMOUTH BOY
IN FOREIGN LAND
An Interesting Letter from C.
II. Bailey to His Friend,
Herman llolschuh
Junin, Argentina, S. A.
October 23d, 1907.
Herman llolschuh,
Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
Dkar Friend: You will have to
pardon me for not writing you sooner,
as I have been very busy both at work
and sight-seeing.
Everything has been in a mix-up for
me, that is, everything is something
new, and the only time that I feel at
home is when I am at a machine, for
they are the only familiar things I have
run up agaist since leaving Chicago.
Most everything I have enjoyed for
it has been interesting. My trip across
the ocean to England and from South
ampton south to Buenos Aires was fine;
the weather was good; we tossed about
but very little and I was not sea-sick in
the least.
It is impossible for me to write in a
letter all I have seen and how it ap
peared to me, so I will have to cut it
short, and wait until I come to Ne
braska in the spring.
We stopped at Lisbon, in Portugal;
the town of St. Vincent, on the Cape
Verde islands, and several towns on the
Brazilian coast.
Southampton and Lisbon are old-
fashioned towns, compared to our
American cities. St. Vincent is the
crudest town I have seen. The people
are the color of our Indians, and the
children go naked. All go barefooted,
and none have .ny more clothes on
than they really have to.
But of all the cities I have ever seen
Rio de Janerio, Mrazil, puts them all
in the snaae ana maKes otner cities
look like 30 cents when it comes to
beautiful buildings. They are not as
high as ones in America, not over four
stories (some new ones are building
higher) but for designed fronts and
different colors you bet they are there
with the goods. I saw one business
building the front of which appeared to
be covered with gold leaf.
And the principal streets are just fine.
The Avenida Central (Central Avenue)
is actually the finest street I was ever
on. The center of the street is of
aspheltum and the sidewalks are laid of
small black and white stones about two
and three inches square on the face and
laid in such a manner that the walk
appears to be wavy. Also, here is where
you can see the palms and bamboo to a
frazzle, the palms 80 to 100 feet high,
the bamboo thick as the hair on a dog.
I visited the Botanical Gardens, but
had not time enough to see very much
of it, though what I did see I enjoyed
very much.
We also stopped at Montevideo in
Uraguay, but I did not go ashore, for it
costs at least $o.00 every time you
touch land; my money was running low
and for that reason I did not care to
see anything more until we reached
Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires is an up-to-date city of
1,100,000 people, with a great many
Germans and English. Spanish is the
predominent language and of course
mostly Argentina-Spanish people, but a
great many of them speak the broken
English. I was in Buenos Aires from
Sunday, October 6, until the following
Thursday night and have been here
since, and expect to be, here about ten
days longer.
The name of this town is spelled
Junin, but is pronounced "Hoo-neen,"
so you can see what I am up against by
the time I learn to talk to these people,
which I am doing slowly. This city has
about 30,000 inhabitants, but I guessed
it at 5,000. The buildings are mostly of
one story, of brick, cemented on the
outside. These people are up-to-date
when it comes to business.
The English and Germans have the
import trade, practically speaking, with
the exception of harvesting machines
The soil here is black and very rich,
and as level as a floor as far as 1 can
see. From Buenos Aires to this place
is 180 miles and is the same I am told
(I came from Bony in the night). The
land here is worth about $70 an acre,
Land can be bought of the government
in large areas in the western parts very
cheap. Will find out all I can and will
let you know later on. I no doubt will
go to the southern and western parts
before the season is over.
Remember me kindly to Fred and Ed
Eigenberger, also Louis Eigenberger,
Coon Vallery, Frank Benfer and to all
my Plattsmouth friends. With best
wishes for your mother, I am
Your friend,

MISS AILEEN
OLIVE DEAD
Passes Away at St. Joseph
Hospital Yesterday.
A few days since, Miss Aileen Olive,
daughter of George Olive and wife of
Weeping Water, came to Plattsmouth
to spend Thanksgiving with relatives,
John M. Leyda and family. While here
she had an attack of appendicitis and
peritonitis, which became very severe,
and after consultation with physicians
here and their family physician, Dr.
Fate, at Weeping Water, who came
here, it developed that nothing could
be done for her relief, other than an
operation. She was taken to St. Joseph
hospital in Omaha where an operation
was performed, from which she never
fully recovered, growing continually
worse, until she passed away at 11:30
o'clock yesterday morning. The funeral
of the young lady will.be held at Weep
ing Water tomorrow (Tuesday) after
noon. The Journal extends sympathy
Mr. and Mrs. Olive in this the is hour
of deep affliction.
YOUNG MAN
PASSES AWAY
Gust. F. Rhode, for Many Years
Connected With the Evening
News, Is Dead.
While it was felt by many of the
friends of Gust. Rhode that his condi
tion was such that would not admit of
a hope during the last few weeks that
he might recover, no one expected that
he would be called to answer the dread
summons so soon. Yesterday morning,
as the end neared, his condition showed
less strength, and at the last closed his
eyes as though in a gentle sleep and his
spirit sped away to its Maker. Of the
immediate family, are his wife and
three little girls, the eldest of which is
only about seven years of age. His
aged mother survives him, a sister liv
ing in Galesburg, 111., Mrs. George Red
dick; three brothers, one at this place.
Goddard; one at Lincoln, working for
the State Journal, Adolph; and Charles
living in Kansas City. The deceased
had been working for the Evening News
about ten years, the first two he spent
at the case, then for a number of years
he was reporter, and during the latter
part of the summer was both reporter
and editor, since the appointment of
Mr. Farley, as county superintendent,
and until Mr. Rhode got so he could not
work longer, having entire management
of the paper. He' was the clerk of the
Woodmen of the World, and carried a
policy of insurance of $3,500 therein,
and one of a $1,000 in the Loyal Mystic
Legion. He was also a member and
officer of the fire department.
Death of Geo. S. Carnahan.
Special to The Journal:
Elmwood, Neb., December 9th, 1907.
George S. Carnehan, of Elmwood,
was found dead in his bed at the hotel
this morniner. with evidences which
make it a case of suicide, without a
doubt. Mr. Carnehan has made Elm
wood his home since 1886, coming there
from Pennsylvania, where he has one
brother and one sister. The unfortu
nate man was about 53 years of age,
and had been working as a farm hand
until some eight or ten years ago, since
which time he was employed in the ele
vator formerly owned by Dick Smith.
About two years ago he embarked in
business for himself, conducting a bil
liard hall, in which business he was en
gaged when he took his life.
Mr. Carnehan has been afflicted with
a very severe ana most trouoiesome
case of hernia, which has many times
made life not seem worth the living.
Yesterday he went to see Dr. Munger,
and ssying, while in conversation, that
he would just as soon be dead as suffer
as he did. Leaving there he went to
the Green pharmacy, where he pur
chased a bottle of carbolic acid, placing
it in his pocket, carrying it there all
day.
During the day he was around town,
just as ever, for he was always jolly and
lively,Jbeing in temperament an inspir
ation to one who was afflicted with the
blues. In the evening he went to the
home of his late employer, Mr. D. Smith,
and spent the time until about 10 o'clock
with Mr. Smith and family, to whom
he was greatly attached. Parting from
them his demeanor was as cheerful as
ever it had marked his action during
the day. Arriving at the hotel he went
to his room, and nothiug more was
heard from him until this morning,
when he did not appear for his break
fast. When his room door was forced
open he was dead, with an empty bot
tle, which had contained carbolic acid,
telling the tale of how his life had gone
out. From evidences in his bed and
room he died without a struggle, for
the room was in order and the bed
scarcely rumpled up.

Federal Control.
Business having been centralized,
centralization of control is necessary
also, is the cry of those who demand
federal charters for corporations en
gaging in interstate commerce. The
excuse is specious, but the reason ab
surd. The states can take care of the
big corporations very easily if the fed
eral courts will let them.
As a matter of fact, it is the mana
gers of the great corporations who are
back of the movement for federal in
corporation. They want to shelter their
companies and their business under the
cloak of a national charter because they
believe the power of the individual
states has been and will be used to
their injury. The pretense that super
vision "can only be effectively exercised
by a sovereign whose jurisdiction is co
extensive with the field of work of the
corporations" is constantly contradicted
by the complaint that the power of the
states is oppressively exercised.
There is a measure of reason in the
objection that the corporation doing
business in a number of states is incon
venienced, if not actually harassed, by
the varying laws it must meet, but that
inconvenience is an essential incident to
our form of government through feder
ated states. Undoubtedly our federa
tion has its inconveniences, but today,
just as much as in the days when our
national constitution was adopted, it is
wise to endure the inconveniences of
our peculiar form of government in
order to perform the benefits which its
check upon centralized power affords.
What dangers we should invite if the
national government took up the con
trol of all the corporations doing an
interstate business may be gathered
from the program outlined in President
Roosevelt's message to congress. He
would have them barred from interstate
commerce until a federal license is ob
tained. He would make an official
valuation of the property of the rail
roads, at least, and possibly of all cor
porations chartered by the United States.
He would have the government prevent
their engaging in ."unhealthy competi
tion," but would grant permission for
"reasonable agreements" restricting
competition. And these but begin the
catalogue.
President Roosevelt told congress
that what he seeks in such a supervision
of corporations generally as the nation
al government now exercises over na
tional banks. But the things he would
have the government do smack even
more of down right despotism than any
thing the comptroller of the currency
may do under the authority given him
by the national banking law. The thing
Mr. Roosevelt seeks is evidently the
larger authority the postal department
exercises over the newspapers and peri
odical publishers licensed to transmit
mails at the second-class rate.
Such a law as he urges is to be one
under which the executive branch of
the government would have just such
unchecked power as the courts say the
postmaster general possesses. They
accord him power to do things within
the scope of the discretion accorded by
law whkh not even the supreme court
of the United States may review. So
President Roosevelt would have it in
the supervision and control of all busi
ness corporations. "Such a law"' he
said to congress in his message, "to be
really effective, must, of course, be ad
ministered by an executive body, and
not merely by means of lawsuits."
It is not necessary to picture the tre
mendous power a law of this kind would
give the executive branch of the nation
al government. It is a power that has
stirred a storm of complaint against
the postal department, but that is
merely a zephyr beside the whirlwind
that would sweep the country when
realization of the authority given the
secretary of commerce came to the
business interests, if such a law as con
gress is asked to enact should be grant
ed. It is quite safe to say the recom
mendation will disappear forever in the
committee to which it is referred.
When to Go Home.
From the Bluff ton, Ind,, Banner:
When tired out go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed
go home and let your family get ac
quainted with the fact. When sou want
ta show youaself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children first.
When you want to shine with extra
brilliancy go home and light up the
whole household." To which would
add when you have a bad cold go home
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and a quick cure is certain. For sale

A Peculiar Case.
The case of Mrs. Sarah Lynn, who
has been seriously ill the past few
months, is certainly peculiar in many
way3. At times she appears so near
death that it seem 3 she can live only a
few hours, then she revives and is able
to set up and eat at the table, only to
again relapse into a stupor that seems
to indicate the near approach of death
The report from there last evening was
that she was slightly improved, but
those conditions cannot be regarded as
any assurance that she will recover, as
a worse condition may follow at any
moment. Union Ledger.

ELEVATOR LAW
CHALLENGED
Manley Co-operative Grain Company
vs. the M. P. Railway Co.
In their brief filed in the supreme
court today in support of their appeal
from the decision of the district court
of Cass county, in the case of the state
against the Missouri Pacific railroad,
involving the levying of a $500 fine on
the company because of its refusal to
furnish a place on its right-of-way for
the erection of an elevator by the Man
ley Co-operative Grain company, the
attorneys for the railroad deny the right
of the court to hear the case and attack
the constitutionality of the Ramsey ele
vator law. After the grain company
had been refused a site on the right-of-way
for the elevator, the building was
erected off of the right-of-way and then
application was made for a side track
to be constructed to the elevator. This
request was denied and the elevator
company applied to the state railway
commission for an order compelling the
railroad to construct the sidetrack and
the case is pending before that body.
