The. annual meeting of the Cass Land Company, the Cass County cor poration which owns the large body of land near Granada, Col., was held Monday night in this city when the reports for the past year were gone over and approved, new officers elected and other Important business transacted. It had been expected that the meeting would be held at the office of the Plattsmouth Telephone Company, but when the several stock holders met at the Hotel Riley they were Invited by Charles C. Parmele to hold their meeting at his palatial home on North Sixth street and they at once accepted the Invitation. After the business meeting Mr. Parmele sprung a sensation and a surprise upon the assembled stockholders In the shape,' of a minature banquet which he had prepared, and it is needless to state, the gentlemen were not so badly surprised but what they were able to do full justice to the repast. The business meeting which pre ceded the banquet developed that the general business of the past year had Deen gooa ana tne members were much encouraged by the steady de velopment of the oil Industry in the elghborhood of their lands, mention of which has been made before in the Journal. It was learned at the meet ing that a company had been formed at Granada which will put down oil wells In the Immediate vicinity of the lands of the Cass Land Company, one of the prime movers In the com pany having just recently acquired tract of land adjoining the irs While no public announcement has been made of the Intention of the ew company so far as that partlcu- ar tract was concerned Inside Infor mation was to the effect that it would be the scene of the new drll- ng operations. The wells which have been In process of drilling are reported to have come in strong and good and there Is no doubt that oil nderlies a wide strip of country near the tract of this company. The officers chosen at the meeting were: C. C. Parmele, president, F. L. Nutzman, Nehawka, vice president, D. C. West, treasurer, C. A. Rawls, secretary, and J. C. Rlchey, mana ger. The board of directors of last year were unanimously re-elected, consisting of C. C. Parmele, Platts mouth, F. P. Sheldon, Nehawka, F, L. Nutzman, Nehawka, A. F. Strum, Nehawka, and J. G. Rlchey, Platts mouth. Col. Bates In Cartoon. The Omaha World-Herald's car toonist, Spencer,1 Is In Lincoln dur- ng the session of the legislature and has been trying his hand at cartoon ing the several members of the leg islature. Among other he has pro duced the picture of Col M. A. Bates the democrat member from this float district. To Spencer's credit, It can be said that he produced a really good likeness of the Colonel with the exception of certain features which he has aggerated somewhat. The silk tile and gold-headed cane are very much in evidence. The Colonel Is classed by Cartoonist Spencer as one of the "near-speakers." Eat at llatt ft Osborn's restaurant the best place In town. LEFT 03 EER DOORSTEP FOR THIS LOTHER Mrs. A. O. Tuion, of Llrermore, Cl writes: "I picked up from my door step one day a little book In which I soon became very much Interested, My little girl of Ave years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and In a very delicate condition "This little book was very com pre henitvely written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele ments of the cod's liver from the oil eliminating the obnoxious oil which Is ao hard for children to take. " 'Just the thing,' said I, 'for my little daughter,' and I Immediately went for a bottle of Vlnol. It helped her won derfullr. She has gained rapidly la flesh and strength, and the does not take cold half so easily. "I am extremely grateful for the good It baa done her, and I hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children wilt be benefited by my experience and Juat give Vlnol a trial.' flitliaoitl, IrtniU CELEBRAT ED BRAND OF JUSTICE Is Handed to Hiram Tucker Who Gets Thirty Days Police Judge Archer yesterday got his celebrated brand of justice in full operation upon one Illram Tucker, a man about twenty- seven years of age giving bis residence as Omaha. Tucker is the man who several days since entered the clothing store of M. Fanger and purchased a pair of inner soles for his shoes. As he went out he inadvertently picked up some five pairs of trousers which Mr. Fanger had intended to sell his many customers. Tucker absent- mindedly put the trousers under his coat and started out. His thievish habits were discovered and he was halted In his mad career, the goods being detected upon his person. As this was clearly a violation of the law he was turned over to the tender mercies of the authorities who in stalled him in a palatial apartment at the Hotel de Manspeaker whore he put In his time until yesterday afternoon, cogitating upon tho van ity of earthy things and cspcA-iaiiy trousers. Yesterday afternoon be as haled before Judge Archer and County Attorney Ramsey had him arraigned, charged with stealing f've several pairs of trousers. He pleid ed guilty to the offense and Judge Archer undertook to read him a lecture upon tne henious nature of his offense but got no good re sults as the prisoner merely laughed the good advice. He admitted that his parents lived in Omaha but reference to their feelings when they learned of his downfall brought nothing but laughter to his face The court considering that his ad vice was or no force and did not impress the culprit In the proper manner took a more effectual meth od and to this end he brought out his celebrated Brand of Justice and proceeded to apply the same. He sentenced the young man to period of thirty days in jail with the last ten days on bread and wa ter, being fully convinced that this sentence would have much more ef fect upon him than all the attempts to awaken his conscience by word of mouth. In consequence of which Hiram returns unto the guard house rliuPA if vonAtta until tiV.Kwi n C there to repose until February 6. when he will once more mingle with the populact and uly his vocation until even-handed,- justice, fastens his grip upon him some more. CLOSE CALL FOR EYE W. D. Jones Has Narrow Escape From Losing Sight in Accident Yesterday afternoon W. D. Jones, the veteran horseman and veterinari an, came near losing his left eye as the result of an accident. ' As it was he escaped with a deep wound under the eye, the flesh being laid open to the bone and a wound made1 which which required several stitches to close. The accident occurred at the lumber yard of F. M. Rlchey. Mr. Jones was assisting Emmons. Rlchey in measuring some roofing paper, the latter using-for- the purpose a heavy lumberman's yard stick. This stick at one end Is mounted with a heavy brass projection 'which 'enables It to be placeu parallel with the edge of a board nd by which the feet measure of lumber In a board can be told at a glance. These rules are very flexible and elastic, and westerday as Mr. Richey endeavored to meas ure the paper It would keep rolling up on him and covering the scale. Mr. Jones went to his asslstanco and began unrolling the paper, when he came to the scale which had been rolled Into the paper and which was bent, It flew up and as he was bend ing over the roll, the recoiling scale struck him sharply under the eye In flicting the wound aa mentioned above. The wound bled ' profusely and Mr. Jones accompanied by Mr. Rlchey hurried to a surgeon's office where the cut was treated to an anti septic bath and then sewed up. Bar ring the possibility of catching cold In the wound there Is not much dan ger of serious consequences, but it will be necessary for Mr. Jones to take care of the Injury for several days. The eye was missed by about half an Inch and had the sharp brass struck the eyeball, blindness must have Inevitably resulted. KcknIoii of County Board. A brief session of the county board was held this morning, Com mlssloners Switzer and Frledrich be ing present with Clerk Rosencrans County Attorney-elect W. C. Ramsey and Commissioner Switzer were present and took the oath of office the former . taking the oath of office, the former taking the place of County Attorney Rawls and the latter succeeding himself on the board.' The board met and or ganized by electing Commissioner M. L. Frledrich as chairman, Com missioner C. R. Jordan as vice-chairman with Commissioner Switzer the junior member. The following bills were allowed: Frank Sabatka, return of poll tax overage, $3.00. The following bills were refused: . Anton Toman, return of poll tax.' cripple. $3.00. Charles Bestor, return of poll tax, cripple, $3.00. Board adjourned to meet on Janu ary 12. W ATKINS BOUND OVER He Waives Examination and is Held . to District Court County Attorney W. C. Ramsey yesterday filed his first complaint since his induction into the office, it being the complaint against Na than W. Watklns charging him with burglary In the recent breaking Into the saloon of Horace E. Rand. For several days past Mr. Ramsey had been acting as County Attorney al though he was. not to formally as sume the duties of the office until to day. This was through an agree ment with County Attorney Rawls. Watkins who is the corn doctor from Rockport, Mo., and who was ar rested by Officer Rainey several days since with some liquor and a small sum of money on his person which he had taken from the Rand saloon, was arraigned before Justice M. Archer last evening and the com plaint read to him. He plead not guilty but waived examination. Jus tice Archer after Watklns had waived examination fixed his bond at $500 for his appearance for trial in the district court which he was unable to furnish, and in default of which he went back to jail. As the next term of court is set for January 18 with Jury trials set for the 25th, the trial of Watkins should be reached probably the last of the month. There will be a num ber of rather Interesting criminal cases come up at this term. The trial of Fred Ossenkop for the mur der of Charles Byrnes at Eagle, will probably be the most Interesting and take nn Rpveral rlaVK. It la nrnhnhlu I that some difficulty will be exper- t . - .... lenced in obtaining a jury to try the case as it has been widely talked of. The case of Charles Hixon charged with assault with Intent to commit great bodily injury upon one Thom as, a fruit tree agent, is another which will interest the public al though it is unlikely the case will take long to try.
