Private Secretary Loeb's scruples
are the subjec t cf ii.v'.dious comment
by the Boston Herald, a harsh critic,
which makes no allowance for the
moral effect of serving as professional
alibi witness for a National Adminis
tration. John Sharp Williams announced re

Congressman Hitchcock has again
stirred up a hornet's nest in administra
tion circles at Washington by bringing
to notice of Congress the fact that
thousands of acres of timber land in
Wyoming and other western states has
been sold by government officials at a
price far below the actual value, and
asking that the matter be looked into.
Congressman Hitchcock is one of the
very active members in congress and
is making his influence felt. It is the
first time for a good while that we
have been able to notice that we have
had a representative down there and
of the second district appreciate his
efforts.
The democrats of Illinois, arc think
ing of nominating John Mitchell, the

laborer, anyway, as compared with the
republican party.

"If we cannot elect Bryan, we can

the deceit of the Bee is very percepti

The suit brought by the agent of the
Burlington, to oust the present mayor
of the city of PlaUsmouth, and seat
himself in a position to which he was
not elected, and never could be elected,
may involve some of those who W. L.
Pickett insisted on voting for him. Such
persons overlooked the fact that the
"official ballot" is, in law, a legal pa
per or document, and any changes there
on, not authorized by law, may involve
the persons making such changes in
prosecutions under the criminal law.
It is not only the la .v but common
sense that any writing or marks made
upon the official ballot, not authorized
by law, after the voter receives the
ballot from the judge of election, de
stroys the official character of the bal
lot; and when a voter attempts to vote
such changed ballot, it seems that
such voter may then be prosecuted un
der the following statute: Cobbey's
Annotated Statutes, 1907, section 5382,
among other things provides as follows:
"Any person who shall attempt to
vote any other than the official ballot,
lawfully obtained, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
fined not less than fifty ($50) dollars
nor more than three hundred ($300) dol
lars, or be imprisoned in the county jail
not less than three months nor more
than one year, or both such fine and
imprisonment. ' '
The Journal very much regrets that a
number of voters at the recent election
in the city were induced and persuaded
to write or have written on the official
ballot, after the same was received
from the proper officer, the title of cer
tain offices and candidates therefor, and
attempting and actually voting such
changed ballots, in violation of the
above law, and thus liable to prosecu
tion under the provisions of the law
above quoted.

Why People Trade in Omaha.
There is not a town in the state of
Nebraska that does less advertising
and reaching out after trade than
does Plattsmouth. Is it any wonder
that after the Sunday editions of the
Omaha papers people go to that city
Monday to buy goods? See the whole
page advertisement that appear offer
ing special bargains for Monday, and
then no one will wonder. People wil
go where bargains are offered. Let
Plattsmoutn merchants do a little of
this kind of work and the people of
Plattsmouth and vicinity can be brought
to a realization of the fact that bar
gains can be had in this city as well as
in Omaha.
Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by (fter-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder ot
these most imortarit
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, von can understand how
quickly vour entire body is afTected and
how every organ seems to fail to do it3
dutv.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as sooa
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick" you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent .
and one-dollar size
bottles. ou may
have a sample bouie noroe of Bwemp-itoot.
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Ding
hamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Linghamton , N. Y., ou every bottle.
