CASES III THE
ii
Case of State vs. Ossenkop is
Argued and Clarence Case
Set for February 7th.
At the last sitting of the supreme
court a number of matters of im
portance to Cass county came up.
Among others the hearing of the ap
peal of Fred Ossenkop from the ver
dict of a Jury in district court finding
him guilty of manslaughter, for the
killing of Charles Byrnes near Eagle,
came up and was argued and submit
ted to the court. The defendant wa3
represented by his counsel Matthew
Gering who argued in favor of the
several legal points raised' by his
motion for a new trial and by an as
sistant attorney general for the state,
County Attorney Ramsey being pres
ent and assisting in the argument.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the court and a decision is
expected In the case within the next
two or three weeks.
In the case of the State vs. Baker,
the man convicted of bigamy and
sentenced to three years in the peni
tentiary, the appeal was docketed in
the supreme court and that body
t made an order fixing a ball bond at
the sum of' $1,000. As Baker has
not yet been able to find sureties
for this ambunt, he still languishes
in jail here. It is not considered prob
able that he can make bail and he
will likely have ,to stay in Jail for
sometime before his case can be
heard.
In the matter of the State vs.' John
Clarence convicted of murder in the
second degree by killing John P.
Thacker near Union one years ago,
the supreme court set the case down
for argument on the appeal at the
next Betting of the court which will
be on February 7. At that time the
ease will be argued and submitted,
so that it may be decided probably
during the month of March or April.

that it was killed. Previous to this a

If your Stomach, Heart, st Kid
neys are weak, try at least, a few
doses only to Dr. Shoop's Restorative.
In five or ten days only, the result
will surprise you. A few cents will
cover the cost. And here is why help
comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn't
drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the
Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restor
ative goes directly to the weak and
falling nerves. Each organ has its
own controlling nerve. When these
nerves fail, the depending organs
lust necessarily falter. This plain, yet
vital truth, clearly tells why Dr.
Shoop's Restorative is so universally
successful. Its success is leading
druggists everywhere to give it uni
versal preference. A test will surely
tell. Sold by all dealers.

While Diiving Home From the
Dance Saturday Night
A good story is told of a certain
young lady living not a great ways
from the city of Plattsmouth who at
tended the masquerade last Saturday
night. After the dance broke up she
and he best fellow, who is a well
known young man living west of the
city, started for home together In the
young man's buggy, the two snug
gling up close together to keep the
chilly wind out. Owing to the bad
roads they did not drive the team as
fast as they might and it was pretty
late or early as the case might be
when the young man delivered his
precious cargo at her home. Here
an unexpected complication arose. As
the young lady got out of the buggy
she discovered that her gold watch
which had reposed secured in her belt
when she left the dance was missing.
Not caring to waken her parents she
and the young man made a desperate
search of the .buggy in the dark but
found no watch. The, young lady in
desperation then entered the house
and secured a lantern and again the
search was renewed but with no bet
ter success. The lantern did one thing
however, It aroused paterfamilias and
he peeked out to see who was Invad
ing his yard at that ynholy hour. He
did not say anything,, however, to his
wife just then. The next morning the
young lady wandered about the house
with an abstracted air and plainly
was worried over the matter. Her
mother noticed her trouble and in
quired the cause. Fnlally the young
lady owned up that she had lost the
watch and she was sure It was in the
buggy but it couldn't be found, 'ine
mother teased her about where the
young man had his arms when they
were coming home until indignation
on the part of the young lady made
her stop. It was along later In the
day when a strange buggy drove into
the yard but it contained the young
man who had driven the young lady
home. He came in and spoke of the
nice weather and the probabilities of
all the corn being shucked by next
summer and the like but was ill at
ease. Finally he blurted out "Did
lose anything." When told a
gold watch was missing, he turned
several different colors and finally
managed to produce the article. He
explained that he found it in the folds
of the lap robe where it had fallen
Needless to say the young woman and
her best fellow had a hard time with
tfi,e old folks who could not seem to
get enough of teasing them but the
next time she goes to a dance she
promises to lock the watch on so it
can't come off.

Wt HAVE OUST RECEIVED A FRESH SUPPLY OF

CZDPRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS t
Delightful Clitirth. Meeting.
What Is one of the most delightful
evenings spent In a Boclal way in this
city for sometime, was that given last
evening at the Christian church by
the members pf .. that organization.
The only drawback to . the evening
was the unavoidable absence of Rev.
Luther Moore, the pastor, who was
111 and unable to attend. His address
which was to have been one of the
features of the evening will bo given
at the church next Sunday. The pro
gram which had been arranged was
one of tho best heard In the city in
a long time and the largo number
present were much gratified at the
high merit of It.
The opening number on the pro
gram was the opening songs after
which there was given an impressive
invocation. The report of the church
treasurer, secretary of the bibltf
school and the ladies aid then fol
lowed, all of which were of the most
flattering nature. The next number
was special music consisting of a
duet which was most beautiful and
splendidly given. The next number
was a reading by Mrs. William Balrd
one of the finest readers in the city,,
and her great reputation in this line
was amply sustained by her rendi
tion of "How the Church was Built
at Kehoe'a Bar." The piece was one
excellently suited to Mrs. Baird's
voice and the number made a strong
Impression on all present.
Music, a special thank offering and
a reception of the officers followed,
the latter consisting of the church
extending the, .right hand of fellow
ship to the officers who were formed
In a receiving line.
Altogether the evening was one of
the greatest social, delight and those
who attended hope that there may
be others during the wintur of equat
worth. The attendance was most flat
tering. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum
sots you crazy. Can't bear the touch
of your clothing. Doan'a Ointment
cures the most obstinate cases. Why
suffer? All druglsts sell It.
