Do the Business Men of Plattsmoulh Expect
to Increase the Business of the Town
Without the Least Effort to Do So
One year ago this spring the Journal
made an effort to have the business
men get a hustle on them and make
some sort of a move to increase the
business of the city, but it is well known
that they did not heed any proposition
that presented, to do so. Now we pro
pose to try it again.
Last year we made an effort to in
augurate a series of salesdays, where
the farmers or anyone else having
articles to dispose of, could bring them
in at least two Saturdays out of every
month and offer them to the highest
bidder under the auctioneer's hammer.
This did not "pan out," while many of
our farmers passed right through Platts
mouth and went to Glenwood, Iowa, to
attend such sales, while some of our
merchants stood in the doorway to see
the procession pass by. Do you want
to see this repeated again this year?
Then, again, the Journal advocated
the inauguration of a series of free
entertainments to be given every Satur
day, in order to bring the crowd of peo
ple to town that would naturally take
such a proposition as a special invita
tion to come here to see the sights and
purchase such goods as they might de
sire. This was another enterprise that
our neighbor across the river tried with
great success, and no doubt will repeat
the tame this year.
The Journal believes there is nothing
MODERN WOODMAN
GIVE SMOKER
At Their Hall, Last Evening,
After the Regular Meet
ing, and Have a Very
Enjoyable Time
The Modern Woodman, after their
rpmilar session last eveninjr. had an
open session and a smoker at their
room in the Coates Hall, at which about
sixty were present. The evening was
devoted to having a general good time,
which they all surely had and enjoyed
to the limit. Mayor Henry R. Gering.
was one of the speakers and among
other things which he said, called at
tention to the progress which the order
had made during the time since its or
ganization in this city and is now the
strongest lodge in the city, with only
ona order, having more members than
the A. O. IL W., but it being made up
of four different lodges. He urged the
regular attendance, and good hard work
for the increase the membership of the
lodge.
He was followed by Wm. Budig, who
spoke to the good of the order in the
way of furnishing of the best of in
surance at a very reasonable cost, and
urged the prompt payment of the as
sessments and dues as a means of keep
ing the in order in healthy, grow
ing condition.
Coffee and sandwitches were served
with hot Frankfurters, which were
suppliments with pickels and cake, and
many other things which were good to
eat, and being capped with a course of
ice cream.
Fourteen delegates were selected for
the county meeting which is to be held
at Weeping Water, on April first, where
they expect to bave a general good
time as Woodman from all over the
county will be in attendence.
Will Remodel Lehnhoff Building.
Matt Gering, who semetime since be
came the owner of the Lehnhoff build
ing, will have the same entirely re
modeled and modernized, with a new
front and otherwise improved. When
completed the building will be occupied
by Van Horn & Gibson, who are in the
phonograph business. The making of
this building into a modern one is a
making of a better condition for that
portion of the city.
Surely Got a Fins Team
Nelson Jones is now sporting a fine
team of horses, which he purchased a
short time since. He has fitted them
out in a new set of harness and they
make a fine appearance, and from the
way they look they must be able to pull
and thing which can be hitched behind
them. He is now well prepared for
any kind of heavy draying - or hauling
that may come his way.
Louis Fredrich, of near Cedar Creek,
was a visitor in the city this morning,
and was looking after some business as
well.
too good for Plattsmouth, and while our
neighbors are maneuvering to draw all
the business they possibly can, and are
expending money and time to do so, our
city must "follow suit" or quit the
game of trying to get their share of
the business, or even hold that which
they at present enjoy. The Journal is
one of the fixed institutions of Platts
mouth. It not only boasts of one of
the finest country printing plants in the
state, but it recently purchased the
west one-third of the Waterman block
in which to make it our future home.
Therefore it is as much to our interests
as it is to other business men that the
town should adopt some means for reach
in nut. after its share of business and
more if possible.
In this day and age a business man
cannot afford to sit back in his easy
rhair and await for trade to come to
him, because that day of old fogyism
passed away years ago, never again to
return. If the merchants of Platts
mouth will look back even fifteen years,
they can see what they could have done
at that time to have kept on and in the
direct road to prosperity.
Now, all we ask is for them to make
an effort to retrieve what they have
been losing for the past fifteen years,
and will continue to lose unless they
put on their "hustling clothes and be
p-in richt now to hustle for business in
a manner that truly "means business.
Injured at McCook
Jesse Blunt came in last evening from
McCook, where last Monday he was
quite severely injured at McCook, while
working on an engine, Mr. Blunt is a
fireman and was employed on his en
gine, working on top of the boiler,
while a high wind was blowing. He
had all he could do to work and hold on
when the hosier, not knowing of the
position of Mr. Blunt moved the eng
ine, thus disturbed the equilibrium of
Jesse, throwing him off the engine in
to a nile of coan upon which he lit on
his left knee, bruising and injuring it
badly, and making it so he could not
work- He will be layed up for some
time.
Will Live Near Weeping Water
Henry E. Fravel, who has been em
ployed in the Burlington shops for some
time is moving to near Weeping Water
where he will farm this summer. He
has rented the Klepser place and will
keep in touch of the happenings in the
county seat through the colums of the
Daily Journal.

WERE HAPPILY
UNITED YESTERDAY
At the Home of the Bride's Parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Steppet
Yesterday afte.Tioon as the clock was
chiming the hour of two, and as the
strains of the wedding march was being
played, John Kaffenberger, with his
bride-to-be, Miss Emma Steppet, fol
lowed by Frank Steppet, brother of the
bride, and Katie Kaeffnberger, sister of
the groom, marched into the room and
taking their positions were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev.
J. F. Longhorst, he using the beautiful
ritualistic ceremony of the St. Paul's
church.
After the congratulations were over,
a general good time was had until the
evening, when an early wedding dinner
was served. The congratulations and
presents were such as to express the
good feelings of the ass embled crowd of
friends and relatives who were there to
greet them. The young folks have a
host of friends here, where they have
grown to manhood and womanhood,
with whom the Journal joins in extend
ing congratulations, and it is our
earnest wish that their 's may be a life
replete with success and happiness.
Slightly Mistaken.
In our write-up of the convention Sat
urday night, which appeared in Mon
day's issue of the Evening Journal, we
made a grave error in mentioning the
nominee for councilman in the Second
ward. It was W. C. Tippens that was
re-nominated, instead of J. P. Sattler,
who holds over one year, his term not
expiring at this time. It was an unin
tentional mistake on our part, and we
trust our good friend, Mr. Tippens, will
forgive us for the error. We are satis
fied, however, that he will, as he is not
only one of Plattsmouth's best cit
izens, but he is one of the best fellows
in the world. Everybody in the Second
ward will vote for Mr. Tippens, because
they know that he has done his duty as
a member of the council, and has been
a close observer to the interest of that
ward. He has proved a worthy repre
sentative, and so well has he performed
his duties that his re-election is con
ceded by an overwhelming majority.
In fact he deserves an endorsement
without even the slightest opposition.
HAPPY WOMEN
Plenty of Them in Platts
mouth, and Good Reason
For It
Wouldn't any woman be happy after
years of backache suffering, days of
misery, nights of unrest, the distress
of urinary troubles. She finds relief
and cure? No reason why any Platts
mouth reader should suffer in the face
of evidence like this :
Mrs. M. S. Burk, living at corner
Third and Dyke streets, Plattsmouth,
says: "The quick relief from pain in
my back which followed the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills proved them to
possess remarkable curative powers.
For years I was subject to attacks of
kidney complaint and some of them so
severe that I would be confined to my
bed. My condition was so bad that I
could not even turn over while lying
down without grasping hold of some
thing for support. My husband pro
cured Doan's Kidney Pills for me at
Gering & Co.'s drug store and their use
absolutely relieved me of all pain and
inconvenience. I place great value in
Doan's Kidney Pills."

DOSOLIETIIMG-
STOP KICKING
If You Can't Fish, Gut Bait
Don't Stand Around
and Whine
Once upon a time there were two men,
Mr. Optimistic and Pessimistic, who
made up their minds they would enjoy
a day's fishing. They expended a large
amount of money for tackle, dug a nice
lot of worms, caught some good fat
frogs and met on the shore of the lake.
Mr. Pessimistic said: "It smells to
me a little like rain, it seems to me I
can see a cloud over there in the sky,
and I tell you right now I am not going
to take any chances by going out on the
lake until conditions change. The boat
might tip over you know, and then I
would lose & of my expensive tackle.
Even if the boat didn't spill me out,
if it rained I would get wet, if I
got wet I would catch cold, if I caught
cold I would have a fever, and if I had
a fever I would probably die, so I am
going to stay on shore until everything
is more favorable."
Mr. Optimistic said: "Well you can
stay here, count your worms and eat
your frogs if you want to, but I am go
ing out. I have put a lot of money in
to this outfit. I have got some good
fresh bait, and a little cloud doesn't
scare me a particle. Suppose we do
have a shower, the sun will soon come
out, and anyway you would dry off just
as quickly in the boat as on shore, bo
sides all that, I want some fish and I
am going to have them."
All day long Mr. Pessimistic sat wi
the shore waiting for the storm which
never came. His worms dried up, his
grogs died, and at night when Mr. Op
timistic came in with a big string of
fish, he cursed his luck, said everything
always went against him, and then teas
ed Mr. Optimistic to divide his fish,
with him.
Moral: Simply because Wall street
was foolish enough to get its feet wet
is no reason in the world why the en
tire country should stand still and shiv
er. Don't scuttle the ship or let the
bait dry up. Put on fresh bait, a plea
sant look and trust in Providence, but
don't forget to throw out your line.
No man ever caught a mess of fish who
jumped out of the boat, ran up in the
woods and kicked a tree.
SURPRISE GRAND
MA DREEMER
Without Warning They Swoop
Down Upon Her and Have
a Good Time
By a preconcerted arrangement the
friends and relatives of Mrs. John
Dreemer, mother of Mrs. Chas. Cook of
this place, met last Sunday at her home
in Elmwood, where they gave her a
happy surprise on her sixty-sixth birth
day. They had kept the fact well guard
ed from the unsuspecting old lady and
it was therefore a more happy event
for her. Mr. Cook, wife and family
drove over from this place and were
joined by the rest of the friends and
relatives there. The day was passed in
a very pleasant manner, and a number
of beautiful presents were given as
tokens of love for the good lady, and as
remembrances of the occasion. Those
present and to help with the good time
were Warner Allen, J. C. Dreemer and
Fred Dreemer and families, of Elmwood
and vicinity; N. C. DelesDernier and
family from Nehawka; Chas. Cook and
family from here, and Mis3 Nellie
Dreemer from University Place.
