II
The "All Ctars" of Oma
ha Will Contest With
Local Team.
Local football enthusiasts will have
an opportunity next Saturday to get
out and do some rooting for the local
team, as the latter will play a game
with the All Stars of Omaha. This
is a strong team and will make the
boys go some to beat them. The
locals, however, have been practicing
hard and are in fine shape for a gruel
ling contest, and promise to reward
the attendance with a fine article of
ball. The local team Is a heavy ag
gregation, and at the same time an
active one, and this makes a formid
able combination. Weight and agility
are the two mainstays of a good foot
ball team, and riattsmouth has both.
At the same time the Omaha team Is
recognized as a formidable one in
both theso respects and comes down
determined to win. The line-up of
the local team is as follows:
Wilson, center; Burrows, right
guard; Jones, left guard; Ault, right
tackle; Sattler, left tackle; Jess, left
end; Shurlock, right end; Beal, quar
terback; Droege, right half back;
Leonard, left half back; Streight, full
back; substitutes, Morey and Wind

To Buy Typewriters.
On most railroads stenographers
buy their own typewriters, and on
many of them accountants using ad
ding machines are forced to own
their own machines. Word comes
from Chicago that this policy Is to be
reversed on the Burlington that the
railroad is to buy the machines now
In use by their employe-owners, and
that in the future such machines will
be bought in this way by the com
pany. Incidentally, in making this
arrangement the life of a typewriter
In constant service has been fixed.
The machines are figured to last
seven years. This statement of what
the new order will contain is made
at Chicago:
"The Burlington company proposes
to reimburse all machine owners on
the installment plan and to buy Its
own machines in the future. The
settlement with the employes Is made
upon the basis that typewriting ma
chines will last seven years. Eaen
year the employes get a return, of
one-seventh of the value of the ma
chine. The Interest on the full value
of tho machine is also to continue un
til the machine Is paid for. The ma
chines, however, remain the prop
erty of the employes and are kept In
repair by the company."
Typewriting machines cost the em
ployes from $30 to $100 each and
adding machines run as high as $300
and $400. A constant stream of com
plaints reaching the officials of tho
road about the injustice of compel!
ng stenographers to own their own
machines Is Bald to have been respon
sible. State Journal.
Poor Fconoiny.
A house wife buying the cheapest
kind of meat, seldom saves anything
by it, but usually is the loser. A
still poorer economy is to buy cheap
medicines. Good food makes good
blood, poor food poor blood. Good
remedies cure, poor remedies either
do not help or bring damage. We
wish to advise you to rely in all cases
of maladies of the stomach and of the
intestines In Trlner's American Elixir
of Bitter Wine. It stimulates all
organs of digestion to a healthy
activity and with them the whole
body. Use It as soon as you will have
a poor appetite, or as you will feel
tired, exhausted and mentally de
pressed, if your food will not agree

Good News From Stone.
The Journal Is pleased to note the
receipt of a letter from its friend,
Charles S. Stone, cashier of the Dank
of Yampa, at Yampa, Colo., convey
ing an order for some job work from
that far-off point, and also the pleas
ant Information that he and his
charming wife are enjoying the best
of health, and are In love with their
new home. Charley states, however,
that they still have a warm spot in
their hearts for old Cass and their
many friends here. He states that
the bank is having a fine business,
and that he is prospering in good
shape. He claims to be raising chin
whiskers of the approved western
ranchman variety and that his ap
pearing is rapidly becoming that of a
typical Colorado citizen. One of the
causes of family dissension, he says,
will probably be trouble over who
will get to read the Journal first, as
It Is in great demand in his house
hold on its appearance. He extends
the sympathy of himself and wife for
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bates, and hopes
they will soon be themselves once
more. On behalf of the Journal
thanks Is extended him for his gen
erous patronage, and also for the
good wishes which his letter conveys
and the Journal hopes his prosperity
and good health will continue in
definitely. Hay Indorses Bccktnnii.
George S. Ray, one of the best cit
izens from about Murray, was in the
city several days ago, and while here
met the Journal men and gave them
a pleasant interview about the politi
cal situation as regards road over
seer in that district for several years.
He states that Uncle Ben has been
the most faithful and hard-working
overseer the district has had in a
long time and that he has kept the
reads up in fine shape. He has been
very careful and conscientious in at
tending to them and has not allowed
them to run down in the least. Ills
good work, according to Mr. Ray,
who Is also supported in his state
ments by many otller good citizens,
such that he deserves a re-election
by a large majority. Mr. Ray is con
fident this will happen, and Mr. Beck
man is so well known and so popu
lar that no other course seems open
to tho public. Mr. Ray himself is a
good road man, and his Judgment on
these matters is of the best. It is to
be hoped the good people of that sec
tion give Mr. Beckman the deserved
support and that he wins by a big
majority.
II. V. Adams, Lecturer.
The next number of the Murray
lecture course will bo H. V. Adams,
who Is one of the finest lecturers ex
tant. The following is sufficient to
convince the patrons of that fact:
Dos Moines, la.,
I am very jealous for the reputa
tion of the platform and all who oc
cupy it, especially the lecturer. Be
cause of this I am delighted that H.
V. Adams has decided to give his
splendid powers of mind and heart
to the platform. I have known him
for many years and the years of ac
quaintance have ripened into a real
brotherhood. All classes will be In
spired by his manly presenco, clean
life, scholarly attainments and elo
quent and practical lectures. I know
of no man who, in my Judgment, will
do all the people who hear him great
er good than Mr. Adams. I am san
guine and enthusiastic for his fu
ture as a platform power. If a com
mitteeman should ask me to name a
man who would please all. entertain
all and edify all and one who would
leave the whole community admiring
a manly man and saying nothing but
good words for the Lyceum move
ment, I would say get II. V. Adams.
will class him as the "all-round
man. I am fully conscious that the
above are strong words, but ten years
of acquaintance explain why I use
them and go thus on record. Very

James R. Porter, Veteran Demo
crat and Old Nebraska Citizen
Visiting Old (Friends.
James R. Porter, one of the old
pioneers of the state, and Demo
cratic candidate for governor in 1868
against David Butler, has been visit
ing in Lincoln for a few days. Mr.
Porter came to Nebraska In April,
1856, landing at Plattsmouth after
crossing the river in a flatboat. He
attended the first Democratic conven
tion held in the state. It was held
is Plattsmouth in 1859, and was com
posed for the most part of Buchanan
appointees. Mr. Porter was a Doug
las Democrat. The Buchanan men
wanted to endorse all of the acts of
Buchanan, but Mr. Porter, aided by
a few others, strongly opposed this,
and put up a hard figh and as a
compromise tho convention only en
dorsed the Buchanan administration.
Even this was more than Mr. Porter
favored, he said, but it was the best
that could be done. In 1868 Mr. Por
ter was the Democratic candidate for
governor against David Butler, and
he was defeated by about 2,500
votes. In the early days he was a
candidate for county clerk of Cass
county. Major McCord was the can
didate for sheriff. The candidates In
those days, he said, worked singly, or
in pairs, as they chose. Most of the
settlements were along the Missouri
river and the candidates visited them
by steamboat. He and Major Mc
Cord learned of a settlement of ten
families living where the penitentiary
now stands. Together they decided
to visit them and made the journey
on horseback. They arrived about
where the heart of the city now is
located, and as it wa3 nightfall they
camped, making their beds on the
ground and sleeping with their
horses tied to the saddles. In the
morning they saw the land to the
west of them was the salt basin and
were able to locate themselves. From
a man over in the basin, whom they
first thought was an Indian, they
were glad to see them and all prom
ised to vote for them. Mr. Porter
was afterwards glad he made the trip
for when the ballots were counted he
was elected by a majority of seven
votes. The settlers along Salt creek
were at that time all suffering from
ague, ana tne two canaiaates gave
away all of the money they had with
them in order that those suffering
could buy quinine.
In the early days Plattsmouth was
quite an important place, especially
learned where the settlement was and
made their way to it. The ten voters
for those engaged, as was Mr. Por
ter, in the freighting business. Mr.
Porter had a freighting outfit and
transported supplies from the river
at Plattsmouth along the Platte to
Ft. Laramie, Denver and Saalt Lake.
In 1867, at the point where Ft. Fet
terman was afterwards located, he
was made a prisoner by the Indlons
for twenty-three days, and loBt two
men and a hundred head of cattle.
A little later he lost $33,000 worth
of property near the same place, the
Indians burning his wagons, stock
and cattle. At that time he had a
contract to furnish a large supply
of wood, so he came back to the river
and borrowed enough money to get a
new outfit and went back and filled
his contract. He said he put in a
claim with the government for the
property that wa3 destroyed, but it
had never received any attention.
Mr. Porter said that about all of
the old-timers are now dead. All of
the old freighters that he knew, and
all of the men who were active with
him are now gone, and he feels lone
some. He mentioned three men,
George W. Doane and Judge Wake
ley of Omaha, and Dr. George L. Mil
ler, who were prominent In the early
days and friends of his early life in
Nebraska. All of these are living,
but they are about the last.
Although Mr. Porter will be 82
years old next February, he is quite
active for one of that age. He is
able to walk without the use of a
cane and travel alone. He will leave
this morning for a short visit In Om
aha and Plattsmouth, and will then
visit Chicago. State Journal.
P. M. Meislnger, who was in the
city yesterday from his home in Ben
son, attending to the settlement of
his father's estate, departed this
morning for his home. ''Mr. Meislnger
states that Benson is enjoying a fine,
healthy growth and has become quite
a city. He expects it to be a part
of Omaha before any great while, as
the two cities are rapidly reaching

Marriage License Business Better.
Business in the marriage license
line today at the county judge's
office was some brisk. A license was
issued to N. A. Townsend, aged 61,
of Council Bluffs, la., and Mrs. Fanny
M. Andrews, aged 49, of Omaha. The
couple came down on the morning
train from the latter city and secured
the license, after wheih they were
married at the residence of Rev. Aus
tin of the Methodist church. They
are unknown in this city. A license
was also returned from Elmwood
containing notice of the marriage at
that point of Henry Roelofoz, aged
64, a resident of Alvo, and Mrs. Pau
line Breckenfeld, aged 51, of Elm
wood. Mrs. Brekenfeld is well known
in this city, where she lived for many
years. She is the widow of the late
Claus Brekenfeld, at one time one of
the most prominent business men in
thi3 city, who later moved to Louis
ville and thence to Elmwood, where
he died several years ago. She is a
most estimable lady with a host of
friends here, who extend their best
wishes. Mr. Roelofoz is a well known
and popular citizen of the vicinity of
Alvo, and one standing well In hts
home community. He, like his estim
able wife, has many good friends who
join in congratulations upon his re
cent matrimonial venture.
Sustains Fractured Rib.
J. R. Jones, the plumber who has
been engaged in some work at the
dwelling occupied by Agent W. L.
Pickett of the Burlington, at the cor
ner of Main and Seventh, for several
days past, yesterday afternoon had
the misfortune to accidentally fall
and fracture a rib. Mr. Jones had
been working in the cellar of the
house, and had come up through the
cellar entrance for some purpose,
standing at the head of the stairs.
In turning about he tripped over an
obstruction and was precipitated vio
lently to the bottom of the flight, sus
taining very severe bruises and such
Injuries to his side that he was com
pelled to suspend work. He con
cluded to have his Injuries exam
ined, when it was found he was suf
fering from a fracture of a rib, and
he was ordered to bed. Ho will likely
be confined to the house for several
days as a result of the fall. Mr.
Jones several years ago sustained
similar Injuries, having had several
ribs broken at that time by a fall.
Visits Father.
T. W. Schultz of York was called
to the city yesterday morning by the
serious condition of his father, who
has been so seriously ill for the past
several months. He returned to his
home this morning. The cider Mr.
Schultz la improved today and it is to
be hoped the condition holds perma
nent. Mr. Schultz thinks that York
is one of the best cities in the state,
and says that property values there
hove advanced sharply and stand
higher today than ever before. He
has a nice piece of property there,
which he purchased several years
ago, and has more than doubled in
value In that time, and which he
would have no trouble in disposing
of should he care to sell.
