V " enough for you? :o;- I'lattHiuouth will have the blgRCHt and heat fall feHtlval ever held In HoiitheiiHtern Ncbrnaka. You want to be mire and bo there. :o: TIiIh Im certainly llerco weather for warfare of any kind mlinlo or real and tho aoldler boys who are tearing around tho coaHt reaorta Imagining they nre learning the gnme will douhtloHM appreciate it. The fall feHtlval la getting 'nil klnda of encouragement anil Ih mire to be n big hucoohh. Are you doing your ahare? Write all your frlenda and auk them to vlalt you, or nt least come to Plattsniouth for the big event. : o : There are a number of candidatea for the office of auprcme Judge on the Republican ticket. The duty of the Republican voter la to attend the primary and vole for the candi datea you believe would make the beat JudgeM. :o: After the hot weather Ih past tho place to go is riattsniouth, where a Rieat big fall festival will hold the boarda from September 1 to 6. There Im a cordial Invitation extended to very one to attend nnd have the time of their Uvea. :o; There la a content on for the office of register of deeds before tho Re publican primary. K. E. Hilton of this city nnd L. II. Daft of Oreon rood are candidates. Your duty. Republican voter, is to go to tho prl mnrles and vote for jour choice of these two men for the honor. :o: Tomorrow la primary day. On the Democratic ticket there Is but one contest that of sheriff. Ed. S. Tutt and John A. Spence are the candidates. Your duty I to go and vote for the man you consider best qualified for the place. Don't for get It. :o: A batch of census supervisors were named yesterday by the presi dent and his official advisor, Chair man llitchcoik of the Kepublban national committee. .V humorous feature of the naming was the rigid Instructions ghen to eschew politics In taking the census. After calling llitchcoik In to name the men, the humor of this butch of Instructions tan be seen. la it TO introduce fine materials, clean methods, scientific equipment into the making of soda crackers was one triumph To actually bake into them a subtle goodness, a real individuality, never before known, was another triumph But to effectually protect them so that the fullest benefit of these fine materials, this careful, cleanly baking, this unique goodness comes to yoli unaltered, was the crowning triumph that gave the world NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY New York's Chinatown Is stirred over the murder of another white woman by a Chinaman. This makes the second case of the kind in a few months and once more illustrates tho fact that the white and yellow only mix with dlHnstrous results to the former. As in tho Elate Sigct chho, oriental cunning has covered tho murderer with mystery and there Is smnll llklihood of discovery. :o: Tho Republicans are fearful of the fleet of the rayne-Aldrlch tariff bill on the fall elections. The outrage of rnlMlng the tariff in the face of a promise to lower it, perturbs the lenders, ns well it may. They realize that sooner or later tho people will revolt against such tactics nnd will repudiate the people guilty of them. The time to commence this revolt Is right now nnd every vote should be ast against the party of false pre tense. : o ; There is lots of fun connected with the army maneuvers in Mass achusetts. The attack of the red in vading army was postponed on ac count of the non-arrlvnl of a "trans port." The commanding general of the Invaders sent a polite note to the commander of tho defending army informing him of the postponement, something which is hardly to be ex pected in real warfare and some thing which elevates the mimic war fare almost to the comic opera level. :o: It Is said now that the president will soon change the Interstate com merce commission. Eranklln K. Ijne of Callfornln, who has been so largely Instrumental In securing evi dence against the Harrlman roads, Is slated to be removed. Is anything more needed to prove the absolute subserviency of the administration to the money powers? First, the tariff bill framed to make the people pay trlbuto to the trust. Second. the reorganization of the Interstate commerce commission so that the railroad and corporation will be free from Interference. Thl much of the program I already unfolded and there Is move to tome. :o: The writer made ca trip down in to the edge of Nod.iway county, Mo. last Saturday, and on the way we noticed that there was a great deal of corn that was "firing." Pome few field lock healthy, but they are needing rain equally ns much ns the farmers In Cas county. Make up your minds to attend the Merchants' Carnival as many days as possible. It Is only once In a lifetime that your wife and chil dren have an opportunity to witness uch an event. Bring your own family and tell your neighbors it is his duty to bring his family also. :o: Next Sunday you will have an op portunity to attend the Elmwood hautauqua. A special will be run from this city to that point, leaving this city nt 8 in the morning and returning will leave Elmwood at 10 at night. Take a day off with your family and go. It will please tbem and the entertainment you will re ceive will pay you for going. :o: The vote in Hattsmouth yester-1 day was very light, but Ed. Tutt virtually got the entire Democratic vote for sheriff, while Qulnton beat his opponent, John Busche, by a good majority. Qulnton, no doubt, la nominated, and now the voters of Cass county will lenrn of a great ' DD)"MAip I 1H FOU OESULTS We arc the exclusive agents for Kodaks. It is'nt a kodok unless its an Eastman. Always a complete line of fresh supplies on hand. many reasons why the third termer should not be elected the prin cipal one being that he has failed to perform his duties In the manner that a sheriff should. :o: Regulation of freight train whist les is the latest thing to be taken up by the Nebraska Travelers' asso ciation. The boys have grown very tired of running for trains In little towns, only to miss them and be com pelled to stay over another day. They want all trains to whistle some time before leaving the yards, Instead of whistling and then pulling right out. Since the matter has been taken up, the 'railroad officials are giving the whistle orders wherever requested and the Silatl secretary is send- Ing out a train whistle schedule. :o: Charles L.
