the Democrats, and co one wanted to make the fight. As a "first termer" he has done much better than was expected, because a Dem ocrat coming from Nebraska is given no opportunity, but Maguire made the opportunity and has been heard from more than once. In our opinion the people of the First congressional district cannot do better than remain with Con gressman Maguire. Nebraska City News.

When people get too poor to buy good clothes they will turn to the Inferior article. When the price of foodstuffs Is out of all reason, they have to buy them anyhow In order to live. The Individual is thereby Injured, and In order to pre serve his credit Is bound to curtail sc mew here along the line. The Pnj ne-AIdrlch tariff law has laid ex orbitant duties on food stuffs and woobn manufactures, and thus placed a burden on the backs of the common people that must sooner of later be felt by the government It self. The best thing now to do is to continue the agitation for a reduc tion of the tariff, until senators and representatives both may "seo the handwriting on the wall," and an swer the cry of the needy. :o: Ol U XF.XT CONGRESSMAN. It seems a little early, but In sev eral counties In this congressional district candidates nre being dis cussed for the race next fall. Repub licans are of the opinion that they have more than a lighting chance, so they have several candidates. George Tobey, who Is a professional poli tician and who received his educa tion In Lincoln under the tutelage of Senator Ilurkett, seems to be In the lead for the nomination, but he has many opponents. Ernest Pollard, the chnniplon of the ship subsidy bill, hns assumed active manage ment of the I'lattsmouth News, and will put a man In charge to do the local work, and what you see In the I'lattsmouth News can be counted upon as coming direct from Pollard. If Pollard wanted to be up-to-date he would get a balloon Instead of a ship as a crest. Richardson county has two gentletnea who nre of the opinion that they stand higher In the community and are willing to make tho contest. Nehania also has a contestant. On the Democratic side there Is only one who Is n direct aspirant, and that is lion. John M.

It keepB us moving, revived, and re juvenates us again and again, finally leading us on through unforseen destiny to the end we believed would come, or hoped wcild not come as It did. Weary, worn, heart-sick. disgusted, we lie down to slumber, only to awake In the new day with Hope standing at our side, patting us on the shoulder and smilingly urging us to "go it again, old man; you can't lose with Perseverance and me backing you up." And bo, re freshed, strong and confident, we go back to the wearying grind. Hope may deceive us, but whatever his method, he leads us on, and when the last quiver of life is running through us, he still Is with us, either with the belief that we shall survive or that all is well for the future. Faith and Charity are grand and noble, but their grandeur and their existence ' depends altogether on others; while Hope Is our own, to cling to in Joy or Borrow, In happi ness or despair It Is the beginning and the end and all that comes be tween are mere Incidentals. Without Hope the sun ceases to shine, and everything darkens; the body Is an empty tenement, Its soul, Its spirit, Its excuse for existence are mere shadows, and it staggers us down to Ignominy and despair. Heaven help the man in whom Hope Is dead. Its very arms will drag back the damned from hell's verge and lead them on to paradise of life. While Hope lingers the Infinite spirit Is standing by, ready and anxious to guide us on towards life's successes and heaven's triumphs. May Hope never desert the mortal frame till the last sighs of life are drawn, and the realization of the beginning and the end of the earth has come. :o; LAST SAD RITES TO A ISEIIVEI) OXE. The writer returned Monday night from Grant City, Mo., where he pro ceeded on Frldny to pay a last sad tribute to his grandson, Robert Kirk Hates, one who was not only dear to him, but dear to the entire Journal family. The messenger of death came to us all on Thursday morn ing, and It was bo sudden and sur prising that it was like a thunder clnp from a cloudless sky. We all were proud of Kirk, and knew his splendid characteristics better than the outside world. Still the outside world, especially those who knew him so well, knew hlm to be a noble young man, ono In whom they pos sessed the utmost confidence nnrt love. We could write columns of In cidents In that noble life to demon strate his many manly traits and his nobleness of character, found In but few young men at the age of bud ding manhood, but we do not deem It necessary. It can be said, how ever, and truthfully bo, that none knew him but to love him, and his untimely death is a hard blow to us all, and much more so to his heart broken mother and his only brother, Mllford, who was his side companion from Infancy. Kirk died at his home In Lexing ton, Neb., on Thursday, September 2, 1909, of typhus fever, at the age of 20 years 1 month and seven days. For several months he had been em ployed In Wolbach's large clothing emporium In Grand Island, and had gone home to his mother In Lexing ton 011 Saturday, August 2S, com plaining of a pain in his head. At that time no serious results were thought of. He continued to worse until the end came. Even a few hours before that his suddon death was not thought of.

JOHN BAUER Plattsmouth Nebraska mains were taken to Grant City, Mo., for interment, where they arrived on Saturday morning. The funeral oc curred Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Methodist church, and the church was filled to Its utmost ca pacity to listen to the tribute paid to the noble boy, who first drew the breath of life in Grant City over twenty years ago, where the writer lived and at that time published the Worth County Times, and where the entire Journal family resided. The funeral was preached by Rev. John Gillis, whom we knew several years ago at Memphis, Mo., where the writer also published the Scotland County Democrat, and where we learned to love the reverend gentle man, and in a manner became fast friends. After the services at the church the remains were conveyed to the beautiful cemetery, west of the city, followed by a large con course of sympathetic friends, and all that remained of one of the noblest of young men were consigned to the silent tomb to sleep the sleep that will know no awakening until the Great, Judgment Day. The writer and his entire family " left Grant City nearly eighteen years ago, and this was our first visit since, and we would not be hu man did we not express our gratitude to the good citizens of that city for their many kindnesses rendered on this sad mission. They done all In their power to alleviate our distress and to comfort the heart-broken mother and brother, for indeed, the hour had arrived when they needed sympathy. And to Hon. E. S. Carver an wife and their son Henry and wife, we owe a debt of gratitude that will be hard to repay. The Messrs. Carver are editors of the Worth County Times, one of the best county papers in Missouri. The writer was entertained by them at their elegant home during this try ing ordeal, and wo want to assure them that their hospitality will re main fresh In our memory to our dying day. They were incessant in their endeavors to make our stay as pleasant as possible under the clr cu instances. Through the kindness of Hon. E. S. Carver we had the pleasure of going over the city and viewing the many Improvements that had been made since our departure from the town in which we had spent so many pleasant hours in years gone by. Re sides a tine new court house and sev eral new churches, new business houses. and hundreds of handsome and elegant new homese have been erected. Waterworks and lif rlr lights have been put In since our resi dence there, and In population fully one-third more people make their homes In the old town. We could write a whole day and then not be half through In expressing our grat itude to the many kindnesses ren dered by our old nelehhnr nn,t friends. They were such as to make us believe that no matter how long one Is away from them they still possess that ame warm heart within their breasts they did eighteen years ago. Try thu "New Crown," J0c cigar. Busy in District Court. Several cases of importance have been filed in the office of Clerk of the District Court Robertson, among them being one which was filed last Saturday evening when Mayor Dahl man of Omaha was In the city. It Is the case of Hunter & Peters vs. Dahl man and the petition sets forth that it is upon a promissory note for $214.40 and interest. No details are given and presumably the case will be fought. Byron Clark and V. A. Robertson are attorneys of record for the plaintiffs. Another case which is out of the ordinary 13 that of George E. and Mary laez Ryan against Susan and George Devour. This Is a case where two children of one of the defend ants sued her for an accounting and to determine her rights to property situated near Alvo, this county. The petition sets forth among other things that the plaintiff are children of the late Jesse Ryan, who died on April 23, 1891, leaving a will by which his widow Susan Ryan took a portion of his real estate, consisting of 80 acres of good land near Alvo while the children also came in for the remainder. That after the death of Ryan, thirty acres was sold to pay the debts of the deceased. Later the widow elected not to take under the will but claimed her rights un der the law. Afterwards she united T - - . vv. . "uivu OUC UUIICU j ,n marriage w 1th one Donnelly who lived upon the farm and still later she entered Into matrimony for the third time, this time marrying the present husband and the defendant George Devour. The petition sets forth that she has forfeited her right to the estate and asks for possession of the property by the plaintiffs to gether with rents amounting In the total to the sum of $5,400. The prayer of the petition asks that the rights of the defendant, Susan De vour be determined by the court as well as those of the plaintiff and that an accounting be had between them and if the property cannot be divided that It be sold at partition sale and the proceeds divided. The transcript In the case of the State vs. Raker, a bigamy case from this city, was also filed with Clerk Robertson. Judge Travis held court at chamb ers this week at which several mat ters nere heard and taken under advisement and also several orders of Importance entered. Among other orders made was one in the case of the City of Platts mouth vs. Wescott et al in which the city was granted leave to file an amended petition instanter. The defendants were given leave to ans wer on or before Octobed 1. A Hurry I p ( all. Quick! Mr. Druggist Quick ! A dox of Bucklen's Arnica Salve- Here's a quarter For the love of Moses, hurry!

Wanted A Wife for Needs One. Man Who "Wdn't somebody please help me to find a wife for a man who ought to have one?" said Rev. Charles Sav Idge, with the earnestness of a man who Is trying to rescue the drown ing. "It's a most deserving case," he continued, "and I am Interested to the extent that I propose to try to help him out. This man Is of middle age, is a widower and has seven children. Wait a minute, that isn't all by any means. He -has a fine farm of 160 acres not more than a hundred miles from Omaha, ten head of horses, ' fifty-five head of cattle. 160 hogs and, In short, a first-class farm property. He told me he was simply discouraged with living since his wife died. He Is a fine gentle man, tall, handsome, with dark moustache and beard, and he ought to have a good wife. "Now, I don't want any fake of fers, but I am concerned about this case and would like to have a good woman who thinks she might be In terested In meeting the gentleman, call up by telephone and come to see me at my house. There Is a real case of need that ought to be ad justed with happiness on both sides. Why shouldn't I take it up?" W. H. Hell and family drove to the city from their home in Eight Mile Grove precinct in the face of the rain, and were passengers for Lincoln to attend the fair. Luke Wiles and wife and Mrs. Joseph Wiles drove in this morning from their homes In the precinct and were state fair passengers, going up to Lincoln despite the rain. J. L. Mayfield and wife were pas sengers Tor Omaha this morning, where Mr. Mayfield undergoes an operation for appendicitis. They have been visiting in this citv. their home being at Allen, Neb. It Is to be hoped the operation proves suc cessful and that Mr. Mayfield re turns to his home a well man. THE SLEEPING SICKNESS WHICH MEANS DEATH IIow many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails in that far-away country Africa especially the Congo district. It Is caused by the blto of the tsetee fly. When It bites a person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleepa until death occurs. Contrast this with the peaceful, balmy sleep of health. la there any thing more wearing than to lie awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold feet. hot. head and mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can we pre vent It? Mr. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost my appetite, was all run-down miM not sleep nights. I had tried every thing without relief. Vlnol was rec ommended, and tn mv RUFnrlai If oeiped me at once; gave me a splendid appetite, and now I sleep soundly."
