(o) At the Farmers' Institute in Plattsmouth Monday and Tuesday, February 3d and 4th, 1008 on The American Bankers' Association lias De cided to Oppose Both the Aldrich and the Fowler Bills. to The coming farmers' institute which convenes at this place Monday and Tuesday, February 3 and 4, promises great things for the farmers of this community. The experiences of the people who are employed by the state to seach out and tabulate the results obtained from various methods of pro cedure, relative to the rearing of dom estic stock of all kinds, their care in both health and sickness, and the pro per construction of buildings for their housing, as well as the better ways of the selection and propagation of seeds for farm crops, will be discussed. The institute will open Monday after noon at 2:00 with an address on the arrangement and construction of farm buildings by D. I. Ashburn of Gibbon, Nebraska, who is well qualified to give the best plans for construction and ven tilation. He will speak for an hour and time will be given for questions where something is not understood. This will be followed by an address by Mrs. Ashburn, whose subject will be "The Handy Kitchen," directed to the farm ers' wives,, as well as the farmers. In the evening Mrs. Ashburn will again address the meeting on "How to Make Women's Work Easier," a subject which should interest all. The evening ! session begins at 7:30. At 8:30 Prof, j Ashburn will talk about "Boys and j iris of American Homes," which will i Carrying Money in any considerable amount is dangerous. Don't flatter your self that your habit of doing so is unnoticed. Thieves make it their business to find out such things. Better be on the safe side and deposit your money in Bank of Cass County.

In the afternoon the ses sion will convene a half hour earlier, which time will be devoted to a busi ness meeting. At 2:00 o'clock Prof. F. W. Card of Sylvania, Pennsylvania, will address the meeting on "Fundamental Factors of Soil Fertility," a subject of the ut most importance to the farmer, for with the changing years, much is taken from the soil that unless it be kept up must eventually impoverish it materi ally. This is a lecture all should hear, but do not miss a single one. At 30 Prof. McKelvie will talk on "Care of Pure Bred Stock." The even ing and closing session, which will con vene at 7:30, Prof. McKelvie will speak on "Nebraska Farming," which should draw an immense crowd, as it is of vital interest to every farmer.

With the array of talent and the sub jects discussed, no one can afford to miss these meetings who can possibly arrange to be present. Let us all get out and get the benefit which the state has designed we should receive from this program. Why We Did Nol Publish. Monday evening's Lincoln News con tained a lengthy sensational article in reference to a young man reared in this city, and whose parents have resided here for many years, and are con sidered excellent people. We read the article over several times in order to get our consent to publish the same in full, and finally came to the conclusion not to do so on account of the worry and grief the young man had already caused his parents. The article in question seems to have been a special from Des Moines, Iowa, to the Lincoln News, and reproduced by its namesake in this city city in its entirety. The man recently married a young lady, also reared here, and has always been the mission of the Journal, instead of causing further grief to the troubled to alleviate, as much as possible, the wrongs done by wayward youth, by the suppression of such news as would be inclined to increase their al ready almost unbearable sorrow . Guy Hodges Improving. t Guy A. Hodges, who was so severely I injured some time since by the falling of the bent, which was being placed i for false work for use of pile driver at j Platte river bridge, is making some j progress towards recovery, though ! Slow. A. B. Taylor Very Sick Uncle Andy lay lor is reported very ! sick and confined to his home. His son j Will came in last evening from Okla ; homa, and is visiting here. It is hoped i that Mr. Taylor may soon improve. DOC 0 fid" (ft '9 NEBRASKA. 0 DOC That the Currency Commission of the American Bankers' Association has for mally decided to oppose both the Aldrich and the Fowler currency bills is not in the least surprising. Neither of these bills embodies the essential principle of the legislation recommended by the bankers's commission, which is earnest ly committed on an unhampered elastic currency resting on an asset basis. It is unfortunate there should be dif ferences of judgment between those who are actually engaged in banking operations and the legislators who have the power of making laws, but if this disagreement of view shall in the end result in a failure of legislation by the present Congress there will at least be occasion for consolation in the fact that we are obviously not yet wise enough to advise the right kind of currency law. Additional consolation may be had from the reAection that it is not likely the near future will develop any great need for an increased volume of money. The lessons of the past do not forecast a new era of business activity and infla tion as the immediate reault following a three months' period of panic. With all the gold that was brought into this country while the monetary stringency lasted, it is altogether cer tain that the amount of money in circu lation in the United States is fully enough now to meet all present com mercial needs. The New York banks held nearly twenty-tree millions of cash in excess of legal requirements at the close of the last week, and that may be accepted as evidence that there is once more an easy money situation through out the country, as the banks in small towns were as a rule in good shape throughout the time cash payments were suspended. Nobody has the data to indicate ex actly how much money per capita is in circulation today. The amount theore tically in actual circulation June 30, 1907, was estimated by the Director of IN HONOR OF THEIR NOME LODGE Edger Barker and Phillip Mei- singer GaveF.l. 7. A.. Boys Oysfer Supper. Last Saturday evening as an evidence of the friendly feeling, which they hold for the Mynard Camp of the M. W. A. of which they are members Edger Barker, and Phillip Meisinger, gave and oyster supper at the home of Edger Barker, to the members of tne above camp, their friends and neigh bors A royal time was had, J. R. Vallery as chef, did the preparing and serving of the oysters and cake, and proved an excellent cook and waiter. As a recognition of the friendly spirit in which the boys who are shortly to depart for their new home at Perry, Oklahoma, is held by their associated, each was presented with a gold ring given as a token of the friendship held for them. The boys will depart next Monday, January zth, irom Mynary carry ing the best wishes for their suc cess, of the entire neighborhood. Those to make the occasion one of pleasure the supper and farewell reception- tion were: J. R. Vallery, J. F. Val lery, J. H. Adams, W. F. Gillespie, B. F. Horning, Grant Hackenberg, A. J. Kiser, A. C. Carey, George Stander, Albert Satchell, C. Clatfelter. W. H. Beaver, Harve Harger, Louis Mei singer, rsellie Land, iJennie Land, J. H. Vallery, Ed. Vallery, S. A. Barker, V. E.

Last Sunday while crossing the river to the Speck Island, Martin McDaniel and George Goodnough, found sticking out of the ice the boiler of the old ferry boat the Mary McGee, which sank over forty years ago. The boiler was in a good state of preservation considering the time in has lain in the water. A portion of the hull of the boat remains and can be seenr the Mint to be $33.86 per capita, but at the same time there was $3.92 per cap ita locked up in the Treasury vaults. The panic forced the Government to un loose its hoard, but earlier than this fear-oppressed innividuals started fran tically to stock private hoards that quickly exceeded in volume the public hoard held by Treasury. At this par ticular time there is so much evidence of recovered confidence that the banks and trust companies have already got back a good deal of the money deposi tors took away from them, while they have as yet returned to the Treasury a relatively small proportion of the in crease of public deposits they secured during the panic. It is safe to say that the net result of the transactions of the last three months is such an increase in the volume of money theoretically in circulation that the per capita average is higher to day than it ever was before In the his tory of this country or of any other country of importance in the whole world. There has been an influx of gold, an inflation of national bank circu lation, a draining of idle money from the National Treasury, and now the private hoards. If we could get a per capita statement of the money available for use today it would undoubtedly de light the financial wiseacres who talk glibly of per capita figures. France, of all the important com mercial countries, is the only one in which the per capita money has hereto fore equaled that of the United States the amount January 1, 1906, being stated as $39.94. It is reasonably cer tain, therefore, we could show a higher per capita average than this on the basis of today's conditions, but any un duly large volume will soon be corrected by an export of gold, which can be looked for in the early future if public confidence is sustained. These com mercial factors constantly complicate the problem by modifying the actua average of money per capita to a de gree no data of any statistician can illustrate, but the enduring law of sup ply and demand will take care of us for a time at least while the lawmakers are wrangling about a new currency law.

Don't Care. Some people never do care. They are not interested in anything; they even neglect to - take care of themselves. Nothing can arouse them from their in dolence, not even sickness. It is indeed incredible that there are persons suf fering from maladies of the stomach, although knowing that Triner's Ameri can Elixir of Bitter Wine is the best remedy in all such cases. They keep on postponing until it is too late. Treat the first symptoms, the loss of appetite and of the strength, and you will pre vent much suffering. It is true that these two symptoms often disappear without any treatment, but they may be the forerunners of a grave sickness. Why should we run such a risk, having at hand a remedy which is always re- iable. It is good for every stomach j and should be in every household as the first aid in case of sickness. Use it whenever your digestion is not what it should be or when you do not feel well when your tongue is coated, your eyes dull, your lips rough, your skin dry. ;It will help you. At drug stores.
