fl.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
It is now generally conceded that the present session of
Congress may tinish the rehashin? of the tariff and adjourn
iometiine in Jul v. What a relief this will be.
It is said that a new party consisting of democratic and
republican protectionists will be organized. Well, let it come
the sooner the better. It will then be the tm ts and com
binations against the common people.
Hon. George W. Berge will orate in Louisville on Saturday,
July D. George has many friends in Cass county, who will ride
miles to hear him. He is one of the finest orators in Nebras
ka, and will prove a drawing card for the Louisville celebration.
Some newspapers are of the opinion that "Billy" Taft
won't sign the Aldrich tariff bill. Don't worry about that
matter, because lie belongs to the protection side of the re
publican party, and the bill will receive his signature just as
soon as he can do so. ;i , .J
It will be just as well to defer the nomination of a demo
crat for governor until a more propitious time. Governor
Shallenberger is doing well, the majority of the people are
pretty well satisfied, and why not let the matter drop for the
present. ; The election does not occur until November, 1910,
so what is the use of discussing the matter now?
Only a little more than a month remains for candidates to
declare themselves as aspirants. for nomination in the next
primary election. One of the numerous amendments made by
the last legislature in the election laws of the state changes the
date of the primary election from the first Tuesday in Septem
ber to the third Tuesday in August, which this year will be on
the 17th.' The application of candidates for place on the pri
mary ballot must be filed with the county clerk thirty days
before the primary, or not later than July 17 for this year's pri
mary election.
PAY LAST
TRIBUTE
Nearly every farmer when he has paid for his farm, edu
cated laid by some spare change for a rainy days, begins to
think about moving to town. Here, with sidewalks and other
modern conviences he conceives that life would be ideal. And
it is till he tries it. Nearly every city man hopes at some
time to be able to own a country home where he can spend his
declining days in quietness and complete rest amid the soothing
influences of apple blossoms, songs of birds and hum of bees.
Here he believes life would he complete. And it is till he tries
it. Which is riht T
What the Nebraska lci-lature did in providing for the
regulation of surety bonding rates by a state board has been
paralled by the action of conn-ess in appropriating $200,000 for
the establishment of a treasury department bureau which will
issue guaranty instruments at vot to cover the acts of federal
ofliicers and employes. The companies in that line of busi
ness have raised a big howl over this 44 invasion" of their field
by the government. The truth of the matter is that they
brought it upon themselves by going into a combine and raising
lates on Uncle Sam, the same as they tried to do in Nebraska.
In both instances, the law-making bodies simply did what was
advisable to prevent a hold-up on the public, fsow that a start
has been made in that direction, it is extremely probable that
neither the state nor the United States will relinquish the ad
vantage they have gained. The bonding companies are find
ing out what many corporations before them have learned by
experience, that too much hoggishness doesn't pay in the long
run. Lincoln Kvening News (Kep.)
WANTS BRYAN IN SENATE.
The Washington correspondent of the State Journal says:
Expressions in the eastern press, anent the announcement that
Mr. Bryan will run for senator, are of just the sort which the
friends of Senator Burkett have most feared. The New York
The New York World editorially gives a typical expression to
day. It says:
" Regardless of any political differences, the World wishes
Mr. Bryan well in his candidacy for United States senator from
Nebraska to succeed Mr. Burkett, whose term expires in 1911.
We say this withuot modifying in any way our opposition to
many of the policies that he has advocated or our dissent from
many of the principles which he upholds. Mr. Bryan would
make a good senator. He is an .excellent debater," aide, elo
quent and resourceful, and would render a far greater service
to his party on the floor of the senate than he ever can as a
candidate for president. Nebraska could not make a better
choice, and if the new primaries system of the state enables Mr.
Bryan to become a United States'senator we shall consider his
election a great triumph for the principles of direct nomina
tions." That sort of outside expressions by wny of lofty and broad
gauge advice to Nebraska, are expected to come from manv
sources. Mr. P.rynn without doubt has millions of admirer
who, democrats and republicans alike, would never vote for
him for president, but think he would be a most excellent nnd
uselul senator. These are expected to unload a good ileal of
nuue m- iess wiouginess aim maudlin sentiment on Nebraska
which will. be certain to have more or less influence. Mr.
Burkett's friends have lonsr insistoil tlmt Um-l.-i.tf .i,i
Bryan in a square fight if this sort of influence were kept out of

down as certain. If Mr. Brvan runs nirainst Burkett !., will
have a local fight. There will be no disposition on Senator
Burkett's Dart to avoid scrniminir. On tlu nilmr i, .:n

and friendship In all, and in her
death, there Is a feeling as of a
loved ono gone. Ot a patient, gentle
and peaceful disposition, she bore the
long and wearying Illness with which
she was afflicted with Christian for

escaped her lips, never a protest
against the grievous Illness which
was carrying her beyond the river,
escaped her lips atd when the Icy
finger of death touched her eyelids,
she sank to sleep calm and sereno In
the faith of an awakening on the
shores of that land where sorrow and
Illness are unknown.

TELLS HIS
HARDSHIPS
Conrad Schlater Relates How He
Brought First Piano to Cass
County in Early Day
On a former occasion I told of m
first visit to Louisville, In the spring
of 1859. This time, I will give a
description of Lincoln, as I saw the
same in the 'C0s when I paid a
visit to that part of the country, never
dreaming that the capitol of our
state would be located there. At
that time I was engaged by a friend
cf mine at Plattsmouth to go to the
Lancaster postofflce, as It was then
called, where Lincoln is now, where
a Mr. Gregory, who was engaged In
the evaporation of the salt from the
salt springs, offered a piano for
sale. I was told to look after the
Instrument and If it suited me to
buy it. It was early in the spring,
and cold, when I started with a
mule team. The country at that
time was thinly settled, but I man
aged to reach Stephen's creek, where
I found a friend and his wife, who
had taken up land. I stopped with
them all night, also the next day,
as it was cold. The next morning
I started for Lancaster, where Lin
coln is now. Arriving there I could
see 'Mr. Gregory's house from the
distance, but in order to reach there
I had to cross Salt Creek on a bridge
and, to my surprise the same was
down and the ice not strong enough to
cross with my team. What to do I
did not know. With the exception
of Mr. Gregory's house there was
not a house or a human being to
be seen for miles around. Finally,
I concluded to travel south, hoping
to meet someone who would direct
me, where to cross Salt Creek, and
as good luck would have It, I saw
a man coming with an ox team.
From him I learned that a Mr. Dona
van wa living some distance woh
had a bridge near his house. This
was good news to me and I found
the place and crossed the stream all
right. Traveling on, until I had to
cross Middle Creek, when I got Into
a bad hole and the mules refused to
pull my wagon out. It was nearlng
evening and all I could do was to
unhitch the traces, take tho mules
out and leave the wagon In the creek
over night. I traveled next to the
homo of Mr. Gregory. I meeetao
Gregory and asking her whether I
could stay over night. She Informed
me that I was welcome to stay, but
could not promise mo any supper,
that her husbnnd had started on
horseback to Nebraska City, to pro
cure some provisions and If he came
soon, which she expected, we all
could have supper. I answered her,
that I was only to glad to find
shelter and If she and children could
do without supper, surely I could.
Soon after a lonely horseman came
along, which proved to be Mr. Gre
gory and if I ever saw a horse loaded
down, this one was. On one side
was hanging a sack of flour, on
the other a sack full of groceries,
meat, etc. It ts useless to say, we
had a good supper and spent the
evening very pleasantly.
I bought the piano which was a
Stoddast, one of the oldest make and
it turned out to be a good one. Next
morning Mr. Gregory was kind
enough to pull my wagon out of the
creek with two yoke of Oxen. We
next loaded the piano and ray wagon
and piano was delivered to me on
the other side of the creek. Be
fore leaving, Mr. Gregory Insisted on
me to come back and take up a
homestead. He pointed his fingers
on a piece of land exactly where the
Capitol stands today, but I did not
much favor the request, and landed
the first piano in Cass county. It
has multiplied considerable since.
Today, I can hear a piano in every
direction in Plattsmouth and there Is
hardly a farm house where not a
piano can be found. And I am high
ly pleased. Conrad Schlater.
Crops Look Good.
James Sage was a passenger for
South Omaha thi3 morning going
there to look over the horse market.
Mr. Sage returned last Saturday
night from Minco, Okla., where he
spent several days looking after his
farming Interests. He is pleased to
say that crop propects in that local
ity were never better In the history
of the new state. The farmers
throughout that section this year
have every prospect for a great
corn crop. They have reduced the
acreage planted to cotton and put
the land into corn this year with
the result that an abundance is
promised them. There is consider
able cotton still raised in that sec
tion but not near so much as in
years past. The difficulty in raising
cotton is in getting hands to pick
It as negroes are scarce ther) and
are keeping out of the stat9 on ac
count of the race feeling which pre
vails to some extent. Mr. Sage is
very enthustiastic over his land
holdings there. and the good pros
pects ahead of that section.

city but now living in Garfield coun
ty, Okla. is visiting with relatives

gress and fully confirms other re

CAN'T BE SEPARATED
Some Plattsmouth People Have Lear
ned How to Get Rid of Both
Backache and kindney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't seperate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kindonai
ache until you cure the kidney
ache.
If the kindneys are well and
strong, the rest of the system is
pretty sure to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
Mrs. O. J. Gilson, Lincoln Ave.,

used Doan's Kidney Pills In our fam
