Farm House Burns
The farm house on the old Casey
farm, norhheast of Elmwood, owned by
a Miss Wilson, was totally destroyed
by fire Saturday forenoon, together
with all household goods, clothing, etc.,
belonging to Mrs. Herzberg and son,
who lived on the farm. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Mrs. Herzberg
and son came to town Saturday fore
noon and boarded the 11:33 train for
Lincoln and the house burned down
about the time the train left Elmwood,
so that it must have caught soon after
thev left home. Harry Marshall was
toe only neighbor to notice the fire,
but when he got there only a portion
of the kitchen was left standing.
We did not learn what the loss was
estimated to be. but understand there
was $300 insurance on the building.

Plays Good Game of Checkers.
Last evening Herman Bestor returned
home from the checker tournment at
Lincoln, which has been in progress
for the past few days. And while he has
been sick most of the time and has had
the grippe, he comes out with a good
record to his credit during the whole of
the tournment. which is 16 erames, 25
draws and only 11 lost. Had he not
been handicapped by being sick, we
would have expected him to have won
even better than what he did, for if
there is any one who knows what there
is in a checker game that is Herman
Bestor. As it is, he has five games to
the eood over the ones drawn and the
ones in which he was defeated. This
makes a good record and it would seem
as though we should be satisfied, but
we know that he can do better if only
having half a chance.
Had a Lively RunawaY.
Last evening, while Clayton Tyler
was working with his team on Wash
ington avenue, they became frightened
while he was a few steps from them
and ran away, taking a course down the
avenue, along Pearl street to Sixth, and
south on sixth until they got to
the watering trough, when thinking
they must have a drink before they
went any farther, stopped with no par
ticular damage done and were caught.

! REPUBLICAN PAPER
LAUDS BRYAN
Freedom From Corruption
The Philadelphia North America is a
republican newspaper. It is owned by
a number of the Wanamaker family,
the head ot which has been long an
earnest and an honest republican. But
the paper has bitterly fought republican
crookedness in Philadelphia and in
Pennsylvania, fought it quite as bitter
ly as it would had the democratic party
been guilty of the crimes charged and
proved. The day after Mr. Bryan's
visit to Philadelphia the North Ameri
can printed an editorial from which it
is possible now to ex tact only a few
lines:
"The North American is no Bryan
champion. But the truth is none the
less the truth. If this band of dem
ocrats succeeds in electing Bryan
delegates, the people can feel assured
of one thing, those delegates will not be
named by the use of money, or the
sway of any sinister combination of
sword ed bossism and corrupting corpor
ate influence, but will represent the
real and honest sentiment of the major
ity of that political faith.
"Mastery of the national democratic
delegates has been Guffery's greatest
asset. To control them in each fourth
year and to deliver them as chattels to
the point of consignment named in the
Standard Oil company's political bill of
lading is what Guffey schemes and
struggles and spends money for. There
fore the issue now raised is not one of
large national questions, but of. civic
rectitude and honest representation."
And a regular writer for the editorial
page has this to say:
"To you, young man, or old man, I
say this study William Jenning Bryan.
It doesn't matter whether you're a
democrat or a republican, a prohibi
tionist or a socialist, there is something
far more important to you than politics
and parties; it is manhood. And Bryan
is a man of whom it may be said he has
never known defeat, although he has
met it often. For his sort of manhood
can't be defeated. ,
"And that is the sort we need right
now."
Getting Ready for Big Revival
Union is getting ready for a great
evagelistic service to begin Feb. 19th,
under the leadership of Evangelist
Frank Miller of Lincoln. Mr. Miller
carries with him this own trunk organ,
playing the accompaniments for his
solos. He also furnishes song books
for use in the meetings, and brings
with him his folding blackboard for his
chalk talks for young people. He re
cently held a meeting at Havelock with
more than 100 conversions.. Miller is
a great singer and good preacher, and
good meetings are inticipated. A cordial
invitation is sent out for a large attend
ance from all near by points. Nebras

A Costly Blaze
A large barn on the farm of Wm.
Retzliff, four miles west and two south
of this place was destroyed by fire
early Tuesday morning together with
several sheds and implement houses
surrounding it Ten horses, five cows,
a couple of calves, several hogs and
chickens were lost in the blaze. The
fire had gained such dead way before it
was discovered that it was impossible
to do anything to check it or to save
any of the stock. The loss is conser
vatively estimated at $6000 being part
ly covered by insuranca. Nothing is
known of its origin but is thought to
have been started by tramps Eagle

Plattsmouth Defeated
The girls high school basket ball team
of Plattsmouth came to the city yester
day afternoon and last evening played
the return game with the Nebraska
City high school girls basket ball team.
The game was played in the gymnasium
of the Nebraska City high school
athletic association rooms. There was
a large crowd present and the game
was interesting from the start. The
Nebraska City girls won by a score of
17 to 14 While there was a large
crowd present, owing to the seating
capacity being limited, many persons
had to be turned away.
After the game a very enjoyable
dance was given at Memorial hall by
the Coweta club and the Plattsmouth
guests were nicely entertained until a
late hour. Nebraska City News.

Elder A. L Zinlc Gives Some Valuable Infor
mation to Those Who Have Made Inquiries
Regarding That Country.
(Totlie Editor of the .foui-nal )
There have been a great many from
Plattsmouth who have written me in
regard to this country and what it costs
to live, what wages are, etc. I shall
try to answer as far as I have found
out in regard to these things.
Many have asked us how we liked the
country and the climate, and in answer
will say that so far we are most highly
pleased. The climate for a month has
been most delightfully warm and free
from any kinds of storms whatever; to
be sure the wind blows some days, but
when the wind blews it is not cold, and
the only objectionable feature to the
wind is the dry soil blows and makes
things soiled; but we have plenty of
good water, (the best on earth) so we
do not mind it. The beauty of the
mountain scenery adds much to the en
joyment of life for us here. Just north
of town there are the Rabbit Ear moun
tains and away about twenty-five miles
there are the Serra Grande, which is
snow capped most of the time during
this season, and in the blue distance
looms up Mount Capalena, an old volcano
crater, from the top of which you can
see Pike's Peak over in Colorado. Be
sides the mountain scenery, the broad
rolling prairies are something grand and
almost sublime to one not accustomed
to these things.
Plenty of Work.
The next thing to consider is that of
bread and butter. To be sure one can
not live on beautiful scenery alone.
There must be something else, and that
is what most are interested in who have
written to me; so now 1 will try and an
swer this phase of the question. Just
at this time of the year it is as it is most
everywhere work is a little scarce, but
so far I have not known anyone who
made a determined effort to find work
to fail, and a man who has been here for
years said to me that he never knew
any young man coming to this town who
would work and produce the goods but
that he soon had all and more than he
could do, and it will be but a short time
until this country will have to import
hands to take care of the work that will
be to do, for as soon as spring work
opens there will be plenty, and as soon
as the crop is raised then there will be
demands for men to assist in harvesting
and there will likely be a big acreage of
crops here this year, as so many are
coming. Next will this country pro
duce without irrigation? Here I only
can tell you what others have told me,
and a man who has lived here for twenty-five
years tells me he has raised all
kinds of stuff, and I eat as good vegi
tables as I ever eat anywhere, raised
here last year. A man who runs a feed
and livery business in this town showed
me his books and he has a business
which runs into the thousands of dollars,
and he told me he had not shipped a bit
of feed this year, meaning 1907, and he
had handled corn, oats, hay, alfalfa and
all other feed ordinarily handled by such
a business concern.
What We Need.
There are fine openings in this town
for the following businesses: An up-to-
Have Pleasant Time a) Mynard
Last evening at Mynard, the long
anticipated Oyster supper and fishing
party came off as expected, with a
large crowd present and one who had
come for the purpose of really enjoy
ing themselves. The house was well
filled with good natured people and they
had a magnificent time, everybody en
joying themselves to the full. The
receipts were more than expected, and
were such to encourage the people who
had it in charge.
Fortunate Outcome of Accident
Yesterday Chas. Mapes came near
being caught in a serious predicament,
while hauling a load of ice. As he was
turning the corner near Streight's furn
iture store, a 2x4 broke, letting him
and a cake of ice upon which he was
sitting, fall off the wagon and down
between the horses under the tongue of
the wagon. Exercising presence of
mind, Charlie grasped the wagon tongue
and holding on, spoke to the horses and
and they stopped. He was then enabled
to get out. The ending of the episode
was fortunate.

date laundry, a hustling newspaper;
is no photograph gallery, (one is needed)
houses built to rent, a millinery store
and a broom factory. As to the cost of
living, I can buy a suit of clothes here
as cheap as in Plattsmouth, or any simi
lar town in Nebraska or Iowa. All dry
goods are as cheap here as anywhere.
Groceries are cheap; a few articles
taken at random will assist you to know
the rest: Good granulated sugar, sev
enteen pounds for the dollar; prunes, a
very good grade, three pounds for
twenty-five cents; dried apples, two
pounds for twenty-five cent; all canned
goods as cheap here as anywhere; meats
are a little cheaper, as the country pro
duces them cheaper than some other
countries where so much grain has to
be fed. Kerosene 12J cents per gallon,
electric lights 75 cents per drop a month,
telephone $1.50 per month. I had a
lumberman figure on a house for me,
(14x24) and all lumber, including every
thing, will cost one hundred dollars, and
will cost probably thirty dollars to build
This is a house one can live in in this
country. Of course you could not live
in it in a cold country, but is sufficient
for this climate.
A Word to Hometeekert.
Just a word to homeseekers coming
from the north. Do not be in a hurry
to file; look around and, find what you
want; take plenty of time; it is money
in the long run, but you will have to
come soon or there will not be any good
places for you unless you buy a relin
quishment these are sometimes good
and sometimes bad; you will have to
look out for this, as you find a class of
street sharks who always have snaps
for their friends and sometimes they
are pieces of land that someone wants
to get rid of at any old price, but there
are good relinquishments to be h.id at a
small cost, if one investigates, and some
deeded land at a bargain.
I have been asked to sell one hundred
and sixty acres of land, and it is very
good and can be bought for a small sum.
A good investment. There is lying right
up to town eight hundred acres of land
which can be bought in a bulk, or will
devided to suit purchasers, and many
other such propositions by looking
around. This is the country of land
trade and investment and will continue
for the next ten or twenty years. There
is lots of money here, the wool and cat
tle industry has brought lots of money
into this country and they spend it like
they had a barrel of it.
We have good schools, good churches,
a good opera house and everything else
with which to live and enjoy life.
Trusting that this will in the main,
answer the questions asked, and if you
desire any further information, please
address me and I will do all I can to
assist anyone who wishes to investigate
this country and who may wish to make
it their home, as I am not in the locat
ing business I have investigated the
various companies and think I can site
you to a company which will give you
the very best treatment at the least
possible cost. Yours truly,
A. L. Zink,
Clayton, New Mexico.
