Better be a bank-account man than
a no-account man. The way to
prosperity and happiness is paved
witn good intentions put into exe
cution. If you feel that you really
ought to be saving something out
of earniugs for after life, don't let
the good impulse go unheeded. The
person who is soured on life is the
one who has neglected to put into
force the simple rules of success.
Start an account with the bank to
day. Pay your bills by cheek and
your money troubles will be over.

HURRAY PEOPLE
SHOW HELPING HAND
Action ot Commissioners in Matter
Severely Criticised.
Some three months ago employes of
the Missouri Pacific railroad unloaded a
woman, helpless from rheumatism, at
Murray, and since that time she has
been confined to her bed, being placed
in the depot by the company. She gave
the name of Mrs. Wagner and had four
children with her. Efforts to learn
where she came from or other informa
tion, so that arrangements might be
made to have her taken care of, were
unavailing, and her plight became such
that the utmost sympathy was aroused
in the neighborhood. It was determined
to have an effort made to have the
county commissioners look after the
case, and Dr. B. F. Brendel took the
matter up with them. He asserts that
a promise was made that the case
would be handled by them, but so far
nothing has been done.
Her condition has become such that
it is necessary she receive more careful
attention than could be given her under
the circumstances, and Rev. Lucas took
the matter in hand, starting a subscrip
tion and raising enough money to have
the unfortunate woman taken to the
Burlington Junction Springs, Mo.,
where she will be maintained for a
while. Rev. Lucas took her down there
last night.
The action of the county commission
ers has aroused much feeling in the
neighborhood, as the citizens of Murray
seem to think the case one deserving of
handling by the county instead of by
individuals.
Storm Damage.
During the electrical storm last Sat
urday evening,, in which considerable
damage was done in the vicinity of
Plattsmouth, the barn of Nicholas
Klaurens was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. Mr. Klaurens
got his live stock out, but his harness
and hav were completely lost. His loss
was about $400, which was mostly cow
ered by insurance in the Nebraska Un
derwriters Insurance company of Oma
ha, which was adjusted last Tuesday.
Fell From Barrel.
While Mrs. Jenkins was engaged in
picking cherries one day last week,
standing on the top of a barrel, the
barrel slipped and Mrs. Jenkins was
precipitated to the ground, striking her
arm against the ground, so as to dislo
cate it at the elbow. The injured mem
ber is now improving.

DEATH OF MIS.
ELLEN W. ROBB
Passes Away at the Home of Her
Grandson, Hugh Robb, near
Onion, Sunday.
The following account of the death
of Mrs. Ellen W. Robb, which occurred
at the old homostead, south of Union,
Sunday, July 28, 1908, is taken from the
Nebraska City Daily News:
Another of the pioneers has passed to
"the great beyond." This time it is
Ellen W., widow of the Hon. F. W.
Robb, who has been called upon to pay
the debt all must pay. Mrs. Robb had
been in rather feeble health for some
time, owing to her advanced age, and a
few days ago suffered a stroke of par
alysis, which terminated fatally. For
some time she has been living on the
old home farm with her grandson, Hugh
Robb, and at the time of her death was
surrounded by members of her family,
her son, Mont Robb, daughter, Mrs.
Fenn; her sister, Mrs. Lightfoot of
Philadelphia, Pa., and her granddaugh
ter, Mrs. Thomas Cranwell of Syracuse,
N. Y., and several other grandchildren
being present.
Mrs. Robb was born in Clinton town
ship, Lycoming county, Pa., Feb. 28th,
1826, her maiden name being Ellen W.
Montgomery, and she was married to
Mr. Robb, June 23, 1846. Five chil
dren were born to them, of whom two
are now living W.H.M. Robb and Mrs.
Amelia Fenn. Mr. and Mrs. Robb
crossed the Missouri river at Wyoming
June 23, 1856, and settled in Wyoming
precinct, where the family home has
since been. They were enthusiastic
members of the Episcopal church, being
the first members in that precinct and
did a great deal in establishing the
church. Bishop Talbot preached the
first sermon of the Episcopal church in
that precinct at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Robb.
Mrs. Robb had a large acquaintance,
especially among those who came here
at an early date . She was a kind, gen
tle, loving mother; as a neighbor none
better could be asked, and in church
work she was always in the lead.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock from the Episcopal
church at Wyoming, and the services
were conducted by Rev. W. Barnes, of
this city.

while they were there. Following is a

14th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.
H . Chriswisser, seven miles southeast

WEDDING BELLS
RING AT HURRAY
Mr. Edward Stiner and Miss
Marie Berger United
in Wedlock.
One of the prettiest weddings that
Murray has had on record, is that of
Edward Stiner, of Rawlins,. Wyo., and
Miss Marie Berger, of Murray. The
ceremony took place last Wednesday,
June 24th. at 8:30 p. m., at the resi
dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Berger. About one hun
dred guests were present and listened
to the impressive ceremony as perform
ed by Rev. Lucas of the Christian
Church.
The bride who is one of Cass County's
most charming and attractive young
women was given away by her father,
and was most befittingly attired in a
handsome white chiffon gown over
silk. She was attended by Miss Zetta
Brown, as bridesmaid, while Marjorie
and Marie Schroeder, Lena Hatchet
and Lora Brown were ribbon bearers.
The flower girl was Miss Katherine
Berger,. a niece, and the ring bearer
was Miss Katherine Brown, also a
niece. The best man was Geo. Berger
a brother of the bride.
Immediately following the ceremony
a reception was had by the newly
wedded couple at which delicious re
freshments were served. The couple
departed on the midnight train for an
extended tour.
As has been said before, the bride is
one of Cass County's handsomest young
ladies, a lady of great attainment in
every way and one well beloved by a
great nnmber of friends.
The groom is a most exemplary young
man, one whose host of friends speak
by their numbers as to his superior
character and worth.

happy couple the Journal extends con
