Pollard writes the Lincoln News from his home at Nehawka to say that he is not personally supervising the edi torial matter which appears In the Plattsmouth News-Herald, one of the papers taking a stand-pat attitude on the tariff which have been quoted in recent bulletins circulated from Republican state headquarters. While Mr. Pollard is a large stockholder In the paper, he disavows responsibility for its editorial utterances. His note to the News is as follows: 1 "In an article that appears in your paper, dated October 6, you under take to hold me responsible for cer tain editorials that appear in the News-Herald of Plattsmouth. I wish to state that on the evening of Au gust 30 the directors of the News Herald Publishing company elected Mr. P. A. Barrows editor and busi ness manager of the paper. By a vote of the directors Mr. Barrows was given full control of the editorial columns of the paper. The only re striction imposed was that the paper was to be edited as a Republican sheet. Since this action was taken I have not written a line for the paper; neither do I intend to. Mr. Barrows alone is responsible for what appears In the News-Herald. I have been too busy harvesting our apple crop to give politics, newspapers or anything else even a passing thought. I would not have seen this article if a friend had not called my attention to it Yours truly, "ERNEST M. POLLARD." Necessity of Good Bonds. , The Duff trophy cup contest of last week will prove of inestimable value to the people of the three coun ties through which the contestants passed, because it brought to the no tice particularfy of every farmer the necessity of good roads. Almost every farmer, living along the road traversed is thinking of purchasing a machine, or at least they have good stock and fine buggies. They haul their form products to market, and the better the roads the better time they can make 'and the larger loads they can haul. Bad bridges, cul verts and deep ruts are to bo de plored, no matter the kind of ve hicle used. Next year Nebraska will have better roads than ever before, and they will benefit all.

Why should any one wait until October 19 for an officer to make re ports due months previously? It seems that Cass county has paid Mr. Qulnton $7,636.45 since April 2, 1907. This includes his salary, boarding prisoners and ' probably some otner legitimate fees. It Is natural to suppose that an officer on a salary and turning all fees earned, except mileage, into the county treasury would, after receiving the above amount have quite a sum to turn back into the public cash box. As a matter of fact, Mr. Qulnton has paid to the treasurer $351.20, Further inquiry of several counties It has been learned that York county, with a population of 18,205 in 1900, received from its sheriff $1,007.70. Gage county, population in 1900. 30,051, $1,326.66; Johnson county, population in 1900, 11,197, $1,147.- 10; Otoe county, population in 1900, 22,288, $1,076.96; Hall county, pop ulation in 1900, 17,206, $922.13. Now, do you think it is any wonder that we should object to waiting until October 19, or any other future date for an accounting? -:o:- Joim the Procession. The Commercial club and city council held a Joint meeting last evening to take action on the mat ter of procuring daylight service from the lighting company. While this was simply a preliminary meet ing, it started the ball rolling in the right direction. We want manufac turing enterprises to locate here, and the first thing to do in order to se cure them is daylight service.- The Commercial club is doing all in their power to accomplish this result, and will meet again tonight with the light committee of the city council The moment daylight service is se cured, M. E. Smith & Co. of Omaha will arrange to put In an overall fac tory with 100 machines to begin with. We do not want to miss this opportunity to secure an enterprise that will helpbuild up Plattsmouth. Don't lag, but Join the procession In Its march for the best interests of our city. Breaks Collar Hone. , While playing at school this morn Ing at recess Chester Tuey had the misfortune to have his collar bone broken, which will cause the arm to be carried in a sling for some days. There seems to be no one to blame for the accident. The game was known es "purrp, pull away," and Chester was in the game for all there was In It, as a 13-year-old boy always Is, when he was suddenly precipitated to the ground with the result stated above. Dr. Cook was interviewed at once and the Injured bone set, and although It will be quite sore and his arm will be useless for a time, Ches ter will not lose any time from school. i .

TWICE-TOLD TESTIL10IIY Plattsmouth testimony has been published to prove the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills to others in Plattsmouth who suffer from - bad backs and kidney ills. Lest any sufferer doubt that the cures made by Doan's Kidney Pill are thorough and lasting, we produce confirmed proof statements from Plattsmouth people saying that the cures they told of years ago were permanent. Here's a Plattsmouth case: W. T. Cole, retired turiuer, 608 Locust street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I contracted kidney trouble while serving in the army. There was a dull, heavy ache and lameness across the small of my back that annoyed me to quite an extent and at times the kidney secretions were very scanty and accompanied with pain in passage. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I was led to get a box at Gerlng & Co.'s drug store and begin their use. They made a marked improvement and entirely re lieved me of my sufferings." (State ment given June 11, 1906.) On December 29, 1908, Mr. Cole added to the above. " I am pleased to renew the testimonial I gave two years ago endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills. I advise anyone afflicted with lumbago or any other kidney, dis order to give this remedy a trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

John William Rodafer of the Ma sonic home, who is 79 years of age today, walked to the Burlington sta tion as chipper as a lad of 10 and boarded No. 15 for Omaha. Mr, Rodafer expects to take his birthday dinner with his son, F. B., who re sides in the metropolis. J. W. Ro dafer' was born in old Virginia on the 14th of October, 1830, and re sided in his native state until about 1870, when he removed to Omaha, where he resided until four years ago, when he took up his residence at the Masonic home in this city, Mr. Rodafer has made it a practice every morning to meet the early Burling ton trains, coming in at or near 8 o'clock. And during the four years he has missed but three mornings. Twice on account of snow storms and once on account of rain. These dally tramps have kept him suple, land at the age of 79 he walks like a man fifty years younger. THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION Some Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics A doctor's first question when con sulted by a patient Is, "Are your bowels regular?" He knows that 98 per cent ot Illness Is attended with Inactive bowels and torpid v liver. This condition poisions the system with waste matter and causes ac cumulation of gases which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathar tics may be truly likened to dyna mite. Throughout their harsh, irri tating action they force a" passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated-use of such treatments causes chronic Irritation of the stomach and bowels, dries and hardens their tissues, dead ens their nerves, stiffens their mus cle8 and generally brings about an Injurious habit which sometimes has almost, if not fatal results. We have a pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are. so cer tain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser's money In every case where It falls to produce entire satisfaction. This remedy Is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy, they act quietly and have a soothing, strengthening, healing, re gulative influence on the entire In testlnal tract.

Rexall Orderlies overecome the drugging habit and safely remedy constipation and associate ailments, whether acuto or chronic, except In surgical cases. They are especially good for children, weak persons or old folks. Price, 36 tablets 25 cents, and 12 tablets 10 cents. Remember you can otbaln Rexall Remedies in Rochester only at our store, The Rexall Ftoro. F. O. Frlcko & Co.. lUnlon Block. A big pull, and a pull all together is what makes good towns. -tot- There are rumors of several fac tories locating in Plattsmouth sooa. We hope the rumors are true. to: The taxpayers want honest men in office to protect their interests, aa-1 they should insist on having them,. -tot- Plattsmouth is one of the beet locations for factories of any kind, and parties who want to come cau get the ground given to them ay old day in the week. -tot- If the sheriff waits for the county commissioners to request him to bring In all his deficient reports, is ae right in this or is he wrong? Other county officiate have not waited for such a request. .0:- If a man is elected to an import ant office, like that of sheriff, ae should protect the law, instead of ea deavorlng to "beat around the busk" and fail in a duty he owes to the tax payers of Cass county. -tot- A united effort on the part of all the people of Plattsmouth can ' do wonders for the old town. It is a settled fact that the Burlington stops are not going to be removed, now let us go after other enterprises. :o: Vote for Ed. Tutt for sheriff aad you will vote for a young man who will carry out all laws to the letter. He is honest, 'capable and will not use the position for selfish purposes. He is Just the man for the place, aad don't you forget it. to: Even if Qulnton puts up next Tuesday for all the fees that has been earned In fcie office, is it right or wrong for him to have awaited until the commissioners requested him to do so? One of the county commissioners told Qulnton six months ago, so he says, that he ha4 better make his quarterly reports. Why did he not do it then? They were due. , .0: George P. Melsinger, candidate for county commissioner, is hustling for votes these days, and is making friends everywhere in the county. The taxpayers can rest assured that if the people of Cass county elect him there will be no reports delayed that are due quarterly, either from Democrats or Republicans in office. He is a good business man, and wit! see that the business of the county will be carried on In a Iegitimat-i manner. -to: The Journal is not "talkiag through its hat" when it says that Sheriff Qulnton has not conducted the business of the office as it shouW be. Two of the commissioners agree with us. Then why should he V elected for a third term? 'We ask the voters of Cass county to thoT oughly investigate . Jhls matter and see for themselves, and they will Had that all we have Bald in these col umns is as true as gospel. ' :o:- - Here are three noble and able Jur ists to vote for at the coming elec tion: John J. Sullivan, B. F. Gooa and James R. Dean. All good aid true men, and will prove non-partisan on the supreme bench. Ther has been too much partisanlsm dis played heretofore on the supreme bench of Nebraska. Democrats knw It, and a great many Republicans ac knowledge It. Then vote for Sulk van, Good and Dean, and stop suet as it. Andy Snyder, candidate for recorder of deeds, Is one of the best men Cos county ever produced. Reared the farm, receiving a common schol education, he has always been con sidered one of the model young met In the community. As to his qualll cations he Is one of the most com petent men for the position of re corder in Cass county, aside from those who have had years of experi ence fn that office. A vote for Andy Snyder means a vote for a young man who will reflect honor upon tk people who elect him.
