MEETS OLD RES! DEBTS Anton Koufcek Returns From a Plcas ant Trip Out in the Slate. Anton H. Koubek who has been taking a vacation for several days returned to the city this morning. Mr. Koubek during his sojourn vis ited at Creighton, Beemer and Hoop en, Neb., with many Plattsmouth peo ple who live In the vicinity of those flourishing towns. At Creighton he had a particularly fine time being the guest, of Henry Falter and Charles Teipel and having royal treatment accorded him. He was greatly pleased with the country about Creighton although right around that place it was too sandy (or good soil". Within a few miles it was very fine, however. While at Creighton Chief Koubek met Chief Pratten of the local fire department and received some valuable informa tion concerning their association.' It was a member of the State Volunteer . Firemen's Association, with a membership of thirty-four men all equipped with uniforms. The equipment consists of one hook and ladder truck, one hundred feet of ladders, two hose carts, two thous and feet of hose, a 1,200 pound fire bell on a steel tower and eighteen rubber coats. . The association has J400 in Us treasury. Chief Koubek was obliged to admit to Chief Prat ten that the local department did not belong to the state association but depended upon the council for equip ment. Accoring to Chief Pratten there is a big advantage In belong ing to the state association as the law provides a fund for the benefit of the several companies who are members. The Creighton depart-, ment has charge of a Fourth of July celebration and their chief states he has collected $1,450 for that pur pose, much more than this city con tributes. It will be noted Creighton has considerable more hose than this city, although It Is only about one fourth as large. While at Creighton Mr. Koubek in company with Charles Teipel attended a gen uine country dance and danced with all the rosy cheeked girls in the country. The admission to these dances is 25 and 50 cents and all you want to eat and drink Is thrown in. In addition to meeting Messrs Falter and Teipel, Mr. Koubek met with George Koehnke and family, Charles Wllklns, his father and fam ily. Ed. Baker and John Wagner. At Beemer he made a visit with Gus Peln and had a good time. Gus is doing nicely in Beemer. At Hooper he visited with Richard Hale who Is working for the C. & N. W in that place as operator. He at tended a couple of good ball games, Hooper and the Oxford Indians, the latter winning the first 4 to 1 in ten innings. The gate receipts for the first game was$54 and for the second $37. Hooper pays a pitcher $60 per month, the citizens, contributing $80 per month to keep the team up. Mr. Hale expects to move his family to Hooper In about a week. On Saturday afternoon next Con rad Schlater will give the children who take part in the Mother Goose entertainment at the Parmele the atre, tonight a picnic at his charm ing home In the northeast part of the city. Refresments will be ser ved and the pupils are assured a fine time. Tell Some Sick One It Is Free If It Fails. Will you do an art of Humanity?

Mark's tv' mafi-dv.e.l fir!,,r? a lengthy r.rtic k'ifror-i the ;h n of Ne braska's excrtlenp governor. It will be -readily -notttl that Governor FLilienber ger can use the pen with as bril liant effect es he can the tongue. Among the many interesting mat ters he touches, v.e clip the follow ing: "I am glad to sent to the Nation al Monthly a message from Nebras ka, that Democracy has "made good" In this State. We were given control of State affairs, upon the promise that we would enact certain specific laws believed by our citi zens to be fundamental to further development 'and progress, and ne cessary to promote and preserve our prosperity. The Democratls Legis lature, .which has Just adjourned, has i enacted, and a Democratic Gov ernor has signed, every law which we pledged to the people we wouid stamp Upon the statute books of our State. We have given the people of Nebraska a guaranty of deposits law which will make the money of the people as safe In our home banks as it would be in a postal savings bank, and yet keep their funds In the communities where they are ac cumulated ' and available for the business to which they rightfully be long. "We have provided Tor the ap praisement and valuation of the railroads of our State as a basis for taxation and making ot rates. We have enacted a law which places In the hands of the Railway Commis sion the right to prohibit the Is suance of etock, bonds or mortgages or other evidences of debt in ex cess of the actual valuation of the property of the corporations. By the enactment of these last two men tioned laws, we have laid the found ation for the proper protection of the people's rights In dealing with public service corporations. "The great agricultural States of the Central West, -if they could but put aside inherited political pre judices and become in reality Demo cratic because the material interests of their people would be promoted by putting Into practice the politi cal policies of that party. Their people are continually preyed upon by trusts and monopolies built up and maintained under the fostering care of a Republican legislature. A Republican tariff reaches down Into our pockets and levies tribute and toll upon us like a highwayman up on the road; every time we buy a foot of lumber with which to build a house or barn the nails with which to fasten them together, or the machinery with which we harvest our grain, or the twine with which we bind it, the sugar with which we sweeten our coffee, the clothes upon our backs, the shoes upon our children's feet, the harness with which we work our horses, and any useful thing which we buy, need or consume, and the tariff is to us the very apothebsls of special privi lege and the enthronement of pri vate monoply. "I can understand why monopo listic corporations remain Republican In spite of any condition that can confront the rest of the country, be cause Republican legislation for fifty years has been assisting them to prey upon the public. But why should the people of the Nation gen erally continue to support a party's policies that places unfair burdens upon us all? . We have a saying in this State, "Stand up for Nebraska," and I want to urge upon the Demo crats everywhere to stand up for the people and make our party the rallying point for all men who stand for good government. "The Democratic party never had a better platform or braver or abler candidate than in the last National campaign. Though defeated we will still fight on, If It takes a generation to finally win. Nothing that Is worth having Is ever achieved in this world except by hard fighting and generally after' successive de feats. Truth does not always win, It only triumphs In the end. The most priceless political thing that belongs to the American people to day Is constitutional liberty and re presentative 'government; the right to elect our legislators who make the laws for ns, to elect our Judges, who must Interpret the law for us and our executives who must en force the laws for us. But Ameri cans did not win this privilege for themselves; It was a gift to us from our Mother Country of Knglnnd.nml Englishmen did not win It enslly, they achieved It only after fighting more than three hundred years against the power and prerogative of King and Princes. Men gave their lives for It, and Kings and Princes thought that It was dend. but It lived on, and finally after many centuries It hns come down to us as the bulwark and corner stone of American liberty. "Go back for a moment to the be ginning of the strugglo for represen tative government. When itout old Simon De Montfort, the first real fighter for constitutional liberty ambushed at th-? tattle cf Evesham by the overwhelming; fcrces cf the! I Kit! Q fnlVv, i- nlin rnfj ..,t,?.! him said to him, "My Lord, the King's men outnumber us ten to one; nothing is left to us but to surrender or to fiee;" but De montfort saij to him "Not bo, one other thing we can do today as Englishmen for Eng land and that is to die like men up on the field of battle." And as he laid his lance In rest to make his last charge before he drove spurs into hts horse's flanks he rose In his stirrups and called to the little band of faithful knights about him, "Gentlemen, command your souls to God, for our bodies are the ene mies," and so he died fighting glor iously that you and I and every man who speaks the Saxon tongue might have a representative form of gov ernment, might be free. The names of those who fell upon that fatal field are lost amil the oblivion of seven hundred years, but the name of him who fell in behalf of con stitutional liberty and representa tive government will live until the English language Is forgotten. And so with the Democratic party. Though continually defeated for more than a half a century and many champions of the people have fallen fighting under her flag, yet the party will fight on and her fight ing sons will remember that a vic tory upon the side of progress and reform and In the Interest of the great body of people alone will bring permanent triumph." Another Hall Game. Another good ball game Is prom ised the people of Plattsmouth next Saturday afternoon when Manager Warren's men tie up with the Roy al Achates of Omaha. On the strength of past performances the Plattsmouth team ought to "eat 'em alive" but they may be somewhat Jolted In their calculations. The local team Is playing fast ball right now and If they keep up practicing and hit the ball like they did in the game with the Lees and the C. H. S. teams, they will put it onto the best of the visitors. Mason is also pitching good ball now and If he continues to Improve as he has since the season opened he will be a sure comer. The Royal Achates have played here several times and usually they have left the locals with the worst end of the argument but their measure will surely be taken on Saturday. The batting order which the team used last Saturday was an effective one and there is every reason to believe It will prove equally effective against the visitors' pitchers. There should be a good crowd present as the local team Is playing as good ball as any In this section. Weeping Water. From the Republican. Miss Bertha JameBon Is rapidly recovering since her operation and will be around before many days. John Domingo brought a load of wheat to the city mill last Monday this brought $1.23 per bushel or $67.20. Wheat and bulk silver don't track now. Mr. and Mrs. Zack Shrader were In town Monday.

Judge and Mrs. II. D. Travis came over from Plattsmouth Monday to attend the twenty-fifth anniversary meeting of the Zetetlc club. If It was not for mixing society with busi ness we would like to commend Mr, Travis' work as a district Judge. We believe he is as good, and a great deal better than most of the Judges that have held that position. We don't think the supreme court will find It necessary to reverse Judge Travis' decisions, and that criminals can expect from his hands anything but Justice, and plenty of It when occasion requires. Weeping Water Republican. In sickness, If a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that that nerve controrls will also surely fail. It may be a stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and supoprt to the heart or kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shocp's restorative was not made to dose the stomach or to temporarily stimulate the heart or kidneys. That old fashioned method Is all wrong. Dr Shop's Restorative goes direct ly to those falling Inside nerves. The remarkable sucess of this prescrip tion demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of tho full ing organs.

They have a great many orders on hand for new phones to be put into places after July first when the new rates of the Nebraska Company go into effect and they will find It diffi cult to keep pace with the demand for Instruments. Owing to the fact that they are maintaining their old rates, the ones they established when they first organized their com pany, and In addition are giving the people the best of service and Improving their plant In every res pect, the demand on their resources are being heavily taxed. As has been stated In these columns, the dissatisfaction over the course of the Nebraska Compnny In taking ad vantage of their new franchise and boosting rates higher than their competitor, many pntrons of that lino are ordering their phones out and taking that of the riattsmouth Company.
