capital now of $10,000 with a sur
plus of $3,000. The directors found
the books and the business of the
bank In a most excellent condition,
due to the efficiency of the genial
cashier, W. G. Boedeker. Glen is
one of the best fellows in the world,
and great credit is due to his un

$40.30 in full settlement of same be
ing a member of the M. W. A. lodge
at Murray. This shows the prompt
ness In which injury claims of mem
bers of this order are settled.

The Fruit Prosjiect.
J. W. Pitman, the well known
citizen of Union, drove up this morn
ing from his home to attend to some
business matters. He made the trip
In an hour and a half which Is pretty
fast driving. Mr. Pitman while here
called at the Journal office and re
newed his subscription to the paper
as wtll as enjoyed a pleasant visit
with the editors. Mr. Pitman who
has a very fine orchard upon his
premises reports that he is afraid
that his crop is killed for this sea
son, ijle toej not look for any
peaches, plums, apples or strawber
ries. He had a large bed of the
latter which gave every promise of
yielding an abundance but since this
freeze the berries have turned black
and are unquestionably a total loss.
The same Is true of his peaches and
plums which gave every promise of
yielding abundantly but which are
now hopelessly lost. Apples may do
some better, late apples possibly be
ing saved while some other late fruits
may survive the killing frost. Mr.
Pitman makes usually two trips to
this city each year, coming up In
the spring and fall and this is one
of his two. He Is always a welcome
caller at this office and a pleasant
visitor.

Judge Travis Sentences James
McMichael Today
With Jersey Justice rapidity, James
McMichael, who Thursday pleaded
guilty to the larceny of a diamond
ring before Justice Archer was this
afternoon sentenced to a term of five
years In the penitentiary by Judge
H. D. Travis of the district court.
From the time of his first examina
tion till this afternoon the prisoner
had been locked up in the county
jail in default of $500 ball. v
When he was brought to court this
afternoon he showed his familiar
ignorance of procedure in such cases.
He asked to speak to the court pri
vately, which request was granted.
What he said to the judge was not
made v public, but it was of little
good to the defendant.
After repeating his plea of guilty
he reiterated what he had previously
told the chief of police and the coun
ty prosecutor, in which he explained
how he had bought a paste diamond
and then with the use of it, film-
flamed a Nebraska City Jeweler out
of a genuine stone after having the
Jewel sent to simself In another town
McMichael repeated to the court
what he told at the time of his ex
amlnation that he has many friends
in the country who are rich and that
If he were given a chance to com
municate with them, he might be
given funds. Of what use such funds
would be to him he failed to explain
and when the judge asked him "what
good would money be to you here,"
he only hung his head. He was com
pletely at his wits end and when the
sentence broke on his ear he ap
peared to be more calm.
The "railroading"' of McMichael
showed a quick dealing out of justice
The case was not a week old at the
time of his sentence. Last Monday
he had the ring sent to himself un
der a favorite alias and came here
under another assumed name. Chief
of Police Amlck saw him loitering
on the streets and becoming susplc-i
Ions of his conduct, took him In to
and locked him up for "investiga
tion." Early the next day the chief was
informed of the robbery of the jewel
at Nebraska City and the clever piece
of criminal engineering that the
thief performed. McMichael was ac
cordingly, arraigned and the Nebras
ka City jeweler was present and
claimed the diamond as his property.
The defendant was remanded to jail
in default of bail, where be remained
and he made no effort to And a
bondsman.
The jeweler from Nebraska City
from whom the diamond was stolen,
was given the ring but Chief Amick
said that he was so joyful over the
recovery of his property as to even
forget to acknowledge that the work
of the chief was well done.

Crop Prospects.
John Bergman, one of the excellent
farmers and citizens from west of
the city, came in this morning and
was an Omaha passenger for the
day. Mr. Bergman like most of the
other farmers, is hoping and looking J
for rain. He Btates that the ground
is quite dry and in many places seed
Is lying In the ground Just as It was
planted, there not having been suffi
cient moisture to start the seed.
Below the surface the ground Is in
good shape and a good rain would
help out immensely. Despite the
early spring and the warm weather
of March, crops are not advanced
any further than usual or In fact, as
far as they usually are, owing to
the dry weather. Mr. Bergman be
lieves that considerable damage to
fruit has resulted but lie thinks it
too early yet to estimate the total
damage. He believes there will be
a sufficiency of grapes for local con
sumption and possibly some other
fruit but nothing like a good crop.
Diarrhoea should be cured without

The old 'fashioned way of dosing
a weak stomach, or stimulating th
Heart or Kidneys Is all wrong. Dr.
Shoop first pointed out this error.
This is why his prescription Dr.
Shoop's Restratlve is directed en
tirely to the cause of these ailments
the weak Inside or controlling ner
ves. It isn't so difficult, eays Dr.
Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach.
Heart or Kidneys, if one goes at It
correctly. Each Inside organ has its
controlling or Inside nerve. When
these nerves fail, then those organs
must surely fail. These vital truths
are leading druggists everywhere to
dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop's
Restorative. Test it a few days, and
see! Improvement will promptly and
surely follow. Sold by all dealers.
For a mild, easy action of the
