Hon. M. A. Bates Sends the
Journal Another Interest
ing Letter
Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 13. 1909.
Monday there was very little done
In the way of legislation except the
presenting of bills, of which there
were sixteen sent to the chief clerk's
desk and read. Also the reading of
the committees agreed upon by the
committee selected to do the work.
Your humble servant being the
chairman of the committee on print
ing organized the name today and
three of said committee Including
the chairman were appointed to vis
it the various print shops In Lincoln
to ascertain what It will cost per
day to print the dally Journal for the
Bpeclal benefit of all members of the
House. At the last session the Jour
nal was not printed because many of
the members thought It cost too
much. Now, several of the republi
cans In. the last House come to the
front and favor the printing of the
same daily, and whyT Simply be
cause this Is a democratic body, and
they desire to saddle as much expense
on us as possible. The printing of
this document will cost $45.00 per
day, and many of the democrats, like
the republicans In the last House,
do not desire this unnecessary ex
pense. The final action on this
matter will be referred to the House.
During the tension this work would
cost the taxpayers of the state not
loss than two thousand dollars.
From the present sentiment It will
not be done.
Mr. John Brady of Plattsmouth,
and Miss Vallery are employed In the
Senate, while Miss Lucille Botes gets
a position In the house. There are
others who ought to bo recognized
from Cass county but the over
whelming majority of democrats In
the house makes it Impossible to
gratify their desires. In the House
we have C9 democrats, which re
duces the employes to one to each
member. While In the Senate there
are Just as many employes they
have only 20 democrats to which
these positions are assigned. You
can easily perceive why a member of
the Houho cannot do so much for his
friends as a member of the Senate.
A very hot Joint session occurred
yesterday afternoon when it came to
a vote on the question as to
whether the legislature had the right
to canvass the vote on the constitu
tional amendments. The motion In
favor of counting carried by a good
majority, notwithstanding that about
15 traltouB democrats voted with the
opposition, who were solid against
the proposition. Senator Hansom,
who lead the democrats, Is a very
able man and he was followed by
the ablest members of both the Sen
ate and the House. The movement
will be followed up to the end, we
hope, and that Governor Shallenberg
er will appoint the Judges which Gov
ernor Sheldon had no right to do.
Hon. R. U. Wlndom was circulat
ing among the members of the House
this morning, and met several whom
he served with In this House foui
years ago. He arrived In the cit
last evening to attend a meeting of
the pioneers of Nebraska, which as
sociation meets in this city today.
Governor Shallenberger bears his
honors meekly, and gives the glad
hand to all who call on him. The
general Impression Is that he will
make one of the best governors the
state ever possessed.
Hon. H. R. Gering was In Lincoln
yesterday attending the meeting of
the Nebraska presidential electors for
the purpose of selecting a member of
that body to carry the vote to Wash
ington. While In this city he called
to see how this House was getting
along. His smiling countenance, as
ever, looked good to us.
Rev. J. H. Salsbury wrs here yes
terday ostensibly to Interview the
members who are favorable to coun
ty option. Of course knowing how
the writer stands on that question,
he perhaps thought it useless to
talk the matter over with us. How
ever we were pleased to meet him
Just the same.
No one who has never served a
term In the legislature can possibly
believe how many applicants for po
sltlons approach him every day. It
is due, however, that two-thuds of
!lu?e comes from Lincoln and (Vna
ha. The new members are not "onto
the ropes" In the selection of these
employes and consequently have
to keep moving If th"y se
cure a place for one. This an
noyance, however, Is about over, and
all positions supplied.
Speaker Bool is becoming more
popular as each day goes by, and we
rejoice that we stuck to him from
first to last In his race for the po
sition. The papers of Lincoln can
say what they please of Mr. Bool, but
they can't hurt him in the least with
those who know him so well. Ho Is
simply a man of the people.

The annual meeting of the stock-!
l-cl-Iers of the First National Bank
f I'lattsmouth was held In this city
yi-jterday afternoon at the bank. The
ld officers ana directors were re
flected except Hon. F. E. White, who
declined re-election as vice presi
dent on account of a recent ruling
of the comptroller of the currenccy
10 the effect that when an examina
tion Is made of a bank all the mem
bers of the board of directors must
be present. Mr White is a resident
of Omaha and cannot always be
present at these examinations. He
was tendered the two positions yes
terday but was compelled to Insist
on his declination being accepted.
Frank E. Schlater was chosen In
his stead. The officers chosen are:
President, Geo. E. bovey.
Vice President, F. E. Schlater.
Cashier, H. N. Dovey.

Martha Wants Divorce.
District Clerk Robertson last eve
ning filed a divorce case entitled
Martha May bee vs. Llnzy Maybee. In
the petition Mrs. Maybee sets forth
that she and the defendant were
married at Pacific Junction, la., on
November 11, 1884. That on De
cember 1904, defendant deserted the
plaintiff and has remained away ever
since. That he Is an habitual drunk
ard. That In November 1904. he was
guilty of extreme cruelty toward the
defendant by striking and beating
her. That he has failed to support
her for the past four years. That the
offspring of the marriage are four
children, viz: Charles Ivon, aged 14,
Maggie, aged 11, Eddie aged 8, and
Goldle aged 5 years. She prays for
a divorce, custody of the children and
alimony. M. Archer appears for the
plaintiff.
The Irrigated lands In this valley Is, withoud doubt, the very best
purchase on the market today. Conditions of climate, altitude, soil, geo
graphical position and WATER SUPPLY all favor this locality. This land
will be sold with perpetual water rights from one of the earliest appro
priations out of the North Platte river, the largest and best river that
flows east from the Rocky Mountains. This river may well be called the
River Nile of America. It carries double the amount of water of the
South Platte, the Arkansas and the Cache La Poudre rivers combined.
The silt and mud carried in the water leaves a coat of fertilizer each year
equal In richness to that which for thousands of years has been annually
deposited by the River Nile upon that rainless and otherwise sterile coun
try of Egypt, making It one of the most fertile vallles on earth.
THE LAND OF SUNSHINE AND HEALTH
The country where every crop grown in this latitude reaches perfec
tion where floods don't drown out your crops In the spring, or drought
burn them up In summer; where SUGAR BEETS, POTATOES, PEAS,
or ALFALFA will pay 25 PER CENT on $200 PER ACRE.
The North Platte Valley has demonstrated the adoptability of its
soil to the beet, and during the past three years the crop was shipped first
to Grand Island and then to Ames, Nebraska, and this year to Sterling,
Colorado, the factory paying the freight. This they will not have to do
when there Is in cultivation the necessary acreage to Insure a factory.

The Belmont canal is In Cheyenne County. Its water supply comes
from the North Platte River, which Is the finest stream flowing east of the
Rocky Mountains. The headgate is located about eight miles east of
Bridgeport, Neb., and the canal follows along the foot hills, which rim
the valley on the south side of the river, for over forty miles.
Do you want land where there Is no such thing as crop failure?
Where you control both seed time and harvest? where you have no long,
cold wet spells to Interrupt the cultivation of your crops? Where you
apply the water when the proper stage of growth Is reached and the sun
shine does the rest? Where no llltimed showers spoil your ungarnered
grain? Where you never fail to get the highest market price for your
products that are grown to perfection? If you do, now Is your oppor
tunity. For further information write."

The Journal Is In receipt of $1..'i0
this week from our excellent friend
Henry Miller, of Jamesport, Missouri,
to renew the coming year's subscrip
tion to the Weekly. Some few days
ago when wo learned of Barney sell
ing out his Missouri possessions, we
had hopes of his returning to Platts
mouth to make his future home, but
all such hopes were shattered this
week when we learned that he had
purchased another farm a few miles
from where he resided the past year,
and will at least remain in that lo
cality for one more season. Well,
success to you "Barney," Is the wls'i

Fatal Figures.
"Figures do not lie" Is an old say
ing. The most fatal figures are those
giving the number of people who
have died unnecessarily. Many lives
could have been suved every year by
avoiding neglect of the first symp
toms of Indisposition. The only rem
edy which, In such rases, always
gives pj-ompt relief Is Trlner's Amer
ican Elixir of Bitter Wine. It Is a
well known fact, that nntural wine
Is made of pure old red wine and
herbs selected with the utmost care.
It is a great remedy In diseases of di
gestive organs, as also in poverty of
the blood, In weakness and nervous
ness, t'so It as soon as you notice a
change In your appetite, in your com
plexion, or in your strength, use
it whenever you do net feel Well. At
