MEETING IS A BIG SUCCESS Aug. Esscr Holds Large German Speaking at Cedar Creek Mon day Night. Beports received from the democratic meeting at Cedar Creek on Monday night where Mr. Aug. Esser addressed the voters in German, show that he had a large and enthusiastic audience and made an excellent impression. Mr. Esser's speech was a strong and vigor ous enunciation of democratic principles making his joints clear to the audience which evinced great enthusiasm. After the meeting Mr. Esser visited with a great many of the audience and had a delightful time as well as doing some excellent campaign work in the shape of good democratic talk. He left be hind him a host of friends and can be said to have done some very good work for the party. HAD A SEVERE Vim. Sisier Sulfers Great Loss of Blocd on Monday Last.

What is promised to be one of the greatest treats accorded to our German- American citizens, will be the speech next Monday night, October If, at 8 p, m.. of Hon Philip J. Heise. Mr. Heise comes from the Democratic National Committee highly recommended as an orator of great ability and one who will expound the principles of the party in a clear, lucid anu convincing manner. It will be well worth the time of every (ierman voter to go out and hear this gentleman and learn from his lips just what the partv stands for. Remember he speaks here on October T, at S P ni. Monday next. Frof. Lefier Surprised. Monday was the date of Prof. Lefler's birthday and the teachers of the school discovering the fact planned a neat lit tle surprise for Mr. Lefler. Armed with a milk pail, a sack of sugar, a box of crackers, plenty of cheese and other things needed for the "fudge," the teachers took possession of the home. M. C. was encaged in the construction of a "bird chart," and while the chart did not suffer in the gentle (?) hand ling which Mr. Lefier received, yet it is understood that the surprise of the oc- j casion was so great that he has not naa j time to think of the chart since. The j early part of the evening was given i over to a full concert in which Miss Bell and Miss Ilerrington and the graphaphone, played a most important part The candy making was a great success, and had it not been fc an over abundance of pumpkin pie which at tracted Guy Clements and Noel Tyson to the place, the evening would have passed without special accident. Mr. Lefler was the recipient of a volume of ' Good Stories," the compliments of :! e "crowd." At an early hour the v'.itsts departed, wishing Mr Lefler n. -t'iv more happy birthdays.

The Journal has heard rr any compli mentary words for City Attorney Ram sey on the able and masterful manner in which he defended the city in the Whelan damage suit tried Tuesday. Pitted as he was against Mr. Dv.yer, one of the ablest members of the bar, Billy's task was no easy one. And the fact that the claim of Mr. Whelan for $700.00 was reduced to $150.00 by the jury, a saving to the city of $430.00, is practically a victory for Billy, and an indication of his strength as a young lawyer. Stepping High. John Brady, the well known and popular democrat of this city, was step ping around Tuesday like a spring chicken and all because he had received word that he was a grandfather, his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Cox, at Green field. Ia., having received a visit from the stork, who left behind a fine baby boy. Mr. Brady is sure the boy will follow the example of his grandfather and be a democratic voter as soon as the law will let him. More Than Enough is Too Much. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these pur poses is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indiges tion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and vou will soon be all right again.

When the rescue party reached him, he rose to his feet, having miracu lously escaped damage. The machine was later taken out of the tree branches where it had lodged by Mr. Parmele's chauffeur and taken to its garage. The tree was badly skinned up and Mr. I lckett will nave some trouble ex plaining the difficulty to the railroad company. The general opinion seems to be that Mr. Pickett, being a republican, the machine revolted at being run by him, as it is a democratic machine. FORMER CHIEF HIARY E. LflTXY The Suit Against Her May Fall Flat Through Default. Justice Minor Bacon was not in his courtroom today when the case of Levi P. Munson against Mary E. Latky, for mer grand chief of honor of the D. of II., and the case may now fall fiat through default. Mrs. Latky was sued for a hotel bill of $57. She claims that the bill was not bona fide because of an agreement made with the manager of the Royal hotel whereby he was to make certain concessions in the way of board and room at his hotel in return for her bringing to him the patronage of a portion of the delegates to the grand lodge. During the recent ses sion of the grand lodge Mrs. Latky changed her hotel and then the storm broke. Munson sued for the $57 and there were fifty-seven justly famous kinds of trouble started right away. Deputy Hunger would not serve the summons and Joe Mitchell finally invaded the sacred precincts of the hall of repre sentatiyes at the state house with the legal paper. Mrs. Latky's friends said that, the suit was begun purely for political effect and after she was de feated bv Mrs. Cleaver, of Nehgh, it is said that some of her erstwhile sup porters came to her and said they were very sorry to vote against her but when they first heard of the suit that they did not understand how they could go back to their constituents and say that the had supported a woman who was charged with owing a board bill. Since Minor Bacon was not in I lis justice shop this afternoon the further assertion is made that now that the damage is done to Mrs. Latky's aspira tions in the order that the case will be allowed to go. Back of the suit it appears that two factions within the order are waging a merry scrap. A matter of $75,000 of funds is one of the bones of contention. Lincoln Star. Scripture Lesson. Evangelist Miller says no one can read thoughtfully the following scrip tures and remain indifferent: Psalms 14:1, Psalms 19:1-3. Amos 4:12, Heb. 9:27. Deut. 32:20. Prov. 14:12. John 14:(, John 1:11-12. Matt. 27:22, I John 5:12. Rom. 10:9-13, Heb. 2:3. Job 31:14, Jer. 13:21. Matt. 22:12-13. Prov. 1:24-2). Mark 8:36, John 12:48. I study my R. R. folder thereby show my wisdom; do I study my Bible? Ernest Richter and wife who spent last week at Osmond, Neb., have re turned and report the ex-Plattsmouth people there as getting along fine. They visited with Peter Spader, one of the finest citizens of that section, and of course had a fine time. Mr. Spader has been prospering and has had some fine crops. He sent his regards to the many friends he has in this vicinity by Mr. Richter. Mr. Richter thinks a great deal of that country and regrets that he did not invest there before the boom struck it.

He had a con ference with the Normal trainers at one o'clock, after which he visited the various rooms He expressed himself as greatly pleased with the progress of the work and highly complimented Prof. Gamble upon the fine showing the local scnools are making. He pro nounced the local class as the largest class he has visited this year. The local school authorities are quite justly gratified at the splendid words of praise they have received at his hands.
