Allen against the Missouri Pacific for discontinuing the telegraph service at Wabash is to be heard by the railway commission next Monday. This is the only formal com plaint of this nature filed with the com mission, though there have been a larere number of informal complaints filed. These complainants have been notified to be present Monday. In these cases the Western Union Telegraph company says it has not discontinued any offices because it did not operate them, and the Missouri Pacific makes the same an swer." Death at Elmwood A special from Elmwood savs: "Tues day morning at 10 o'clock at the Cath olic church, occurred the funeral of Otto J ahR, an old settler of this com munity, whose death occurred Sunday evening, after an illness of a year or more. He was seventy-one years of age, and wa3 born in Prussia in 1837. He saw service through three wars in the old country. He leaves a wife and two grown children. Mr.- Jahn has been a resident of Nebraska for twenty-five or thirty years." River No! So High. The waters of the Missouri river are receding slightly. The markings near the Burlington station show thatj the river has fallen some six or eight inches during the past twenty-four hours, and that it is lower by some ten inches than it was at its flood-tide. This is encour aging to those who were about the limit of being inundated by the high waters, and to have them recede without cover- ) some satisfaction. HARRIED IN PLATTSMOUTH The Second Couple Yester day Were Married Here by Judge Deeson. Only one license behind the day of the month was the record at the court house last evening when the permit was issued for the marriage of Edward D Hicks and Miss Roberta Davis of Oma ha. They came on the afternoon train. from the metropolis and sought the office of the county judge immediately. and were soon answering the questions which is necessary for the issuance of a marriage license and were shortly af terward united by the judge, with Miss Anna Hassler, clerk in Miss Hemnle's office and Miss Mary E. Foster, county superintendent, as the recording wit nesses. The congratulations beiner over and the certificate signed, they wended their way out of the county's big buildine: and passing up street were soon lost in the big busy world. They departed for their home at Omaha on a later train. The Journal wishes them all the joy in this life which can possible be their de sire. The Right Word Kearney Hub: A Lincoln Star head line informs the public in big black type that Senator Burkett "threatens" to nominate Sheldon for Vice President regardless. But suppose the conven tion should stand pat and refuse to be coerced? Right at the present time it appears that George Lawson Sheldon is about the most available stick of heavy tim ber from which Nebraska may fashion a Senator when that branch of carpen tering again engages the public attent tion. Right at the present time Senator Burkett has not denied that the job of being Senator is not irksome, a proper occupation for a gentleman whose in itials are E. J. B. When Mr. Burkett threatened to make the nomination the threat was no less real because of its fine garment of appreciation, love and good political fellowship. Lincoln Star. Mr. W. J. Schluntz, Plattsmouth. Dear Sir: You are interested in the prosperity of your town. You can con tribute to it materially, and give it far more prosperous look at the same time. Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint. Devoe will supply that coat with two- thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe will last twice as long as any other. Devoe is all paint and full-measure. Devoe is the strong est paint known. Devoe will take care of the property, in the long run, for half the money required by any other. The reason is stated above: Devoe is all paint and full-measure: the strong est paint known. E. D. Jewel, Coiry, Pa., painted his nouse five years ago with a mixed paint; took fourteen gallons. Last spring he repainted with Devoe; bought 14 gallons and had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20, for painting costs two or three times as much as the paint. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. New York, Chicago and Kansas Citv P. S. H. L. Asemissen & Son, sells our paint. Question of Bank Assessment From Saline county a question has come up to the State Board of Assess ment regarding the assessment of the undivided profits of a bank. The pro position is just this: When a bank loans a large sum of money not infre quently the interest is collected in ad vance for three or six months. This interest is then put in the fund design ated undivided profits. The day after the loan, along comes the assessor and counts this money in the total assess ment. The bank claims the money has not yet been earned and should not therefore be counted as belonsrinsr to the bank. The attorney general will give no ruling on the question until it comes to him throug the county at torney. Farmers Organize Grain Company A special from Greenwood, under date of June 17, says: "A number of the progressive farmers in this immedi ate vicinity have organized a grain com pany and expect to construct a farmers' elevator in the near future. Farmers living in the Salt creek valley have lost several thousand dollars worth of crops by the high water' The small grains were destioyed and the corn will have to be replanted. The continued rains keep even the high land too wet to I work and much apprehension exists lest ' the small grains be injured by rust."

The ball game of the season comes off at the ball park next Saturday. The Red Sox will play the Oklahoma Indians, the champion ball team of the new state. They are good ball players and as the Red Sox have gone to the ex pence of getting this excellent team here, the people should turn out and give the boys a large attendance.

Langhorst last evenine: was a suc cess, both financially and otherwise. Those having the matter in charge had made more ample provision than was neccessary, and as a result had ice cream left over. They will have an other social this evening at the same place, to which all are invited.
