not personally supervising the edi

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

to state that on the evening of Au

Mr. P. A. Barrows editor and busi

vote of the directors Mr. Barrows
was given full control of the editorial

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,

WHY SHOULD WE WAIT?
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?

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

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."

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. They do not purge,
gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, ex
cessive looseness, diarrhoea or other
annoying effects, and they may be
taken at any time without inconvl-
ence.
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

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

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

In the community. As to his qualll
cations he Is one of the most com
petent men for the position of re

those who have had years of experi

Snyder means a vote for a young
man who will reflect honor upon tk
people who elect him.
