Editor Journal: When I reckless ly contracted with you for a series of letters from this, the garden spot of America, 1 little wotted of what I was doing. I have been so busy I couldn't get time to send these more or less Interesting epistles, princi pally less. But no matter how busy, I always found time to read the Journal and note the occurrences, grave and gay, which have taken place In old Cass county since my departure.. Aad in the second class of these happenings I have read with horror of the terrible death of Mrs. Shera, at Rock Bluffs. 1 cannot conceive what manner of creature It was who eould have committed this crime. In her lifetime I knew Mrs. Shera quite well, and seldom have I met with so pleasant and amiable a woman. She bad reached that age when all who knew her cherished and loved her, no that her terrible taking away must have come to her friends as a great shock. It Is to be hoped that in time her death will bo avenged and the guilty perpetrator of the horror be brought to Justice. In another field, ? have rend of the triumph of Mayor Dnhlnian, of Omaha, In the gubernatorial race, 'and this reached me most pleasantly. Mayor Dahlman deserved to win Just as he deserves victory In the elec tion. Ho Is a man whom tho people can trust, and he will not betray their confidence. He believes In calling a spade a up ado, and he hns about him no trait of hypocrisy. Those who admire a real mnn should vote for "Jim" Dahlman, for that is what ho 1 every Inch. By a curious coincidence Yoakum Is situated In Hewitt county, Texas, partly In the county where the Dahl man family many years ago and where they are known quite well. People here who remember the Democratic candidate, tell me he was In early life Just as he Is today clean, honest and clear spoken. A man among men. They hope for his election by a large majority. Politics down here Is rather q tiles ent at present. The legislature ad journed a short time ago, after one regular and three special sessions, one of which w as devoted principally to the liquor question In which pro hibition was defeated, or maybe post poned. .Next year Texas votes on state-wide prohibition, and it will be a great fight with the outcome In doubt, although I believe prohibition will be defeated handily. O. B. Col- qlett who was named by the demo crats for governor at tho primaries In July, Is an antl-prohibltlonlst, but this was only one factor In his nom ination. The principal cause seems to me to have been the railroads and corporations. He ran on a ' peace and rest platrorm, wnich is con strued to me, no legislation attacking railroads, corporations or tho liquor interests, and he hud close to 70,000 plurality over his nearest antagonist Texas politics are peculiar and strange bedfellows are to bo found among the Democratic factions. Texans aro looking forward ex pectantly to the coming fall and win ter. They look for a great Influx of northern people here and the season does start In bravely. Last Tuesday was "Homeseekers" excursion day and the Texas roads certainly had no grievance on their business. On Thursday six excursion trains came into San Antonio, five of which scat tered to Texas points, while the sixth crossed the line Into Mexico. Of the five several Invaded the Laredo-Co tulla district where some Plattsmouth people now have land. Others went on down toward Houston and along the line of the Brownsville and Mex ico. All this country has filled up wonderfully In the past few years and there Is no prospect of a letup. Land hag advanced by leaps and bounds and prices compared with a few years ago are scandalously high. But the income seems to pay dividends on the Investment. The stories of fortunes made In onions are not exaggerated in the least, and even at the high price of land many have cleared their entire purchase price in a single year. And the . most productive of the lands are those adjoining where Platts mouth people have Invested. Now is the season when the onions are being planted and the crop being gotten In the ground. These onions will enter the market In January, February, March and April of next year, the planters this year deciding to extend their season Instead of con centratlng In two months as hereto fore. They expect to ship about 1,130,000 crates of Bermudas the coming season, which Is some onions But aside from the practical side of this question there Is another.. San Antonio has long been known as one of the most delightful of winter re sorts where roses bloom the winter through. And this year it promises more than ever. The city will pre sent many more roses than ever be fore and the winter will be made more attractive for the visitor from the boreal north, than ever before This is a matter of public spirit with San Antonla, which prides itself on its climate, and mhich is making bold bid for the northern visitor And It Is a city worth visiting. It hns show places gnlore and It I m presses Its visitors mightily. Its great International fair tnkes place In No veiuber and this will be an occasion worth while, as It Is made a great event by the live wires of thnt liv Advertising and printing..

N. Dovey at the First National bank. The foregoing report speaks for it self, and too much praise cannot be given the men who had the enterprise in charge. This is the first time In twenty-five years that the public has had an opportunity to see a real live series of ball games, and the public spirit of the gentlemen w ho took hold of the stock la to be commended. For the first experience the above Is Indeed very satlsfatcory, as the stock has been made to pay back over fifty per cent of tne outlay. Should the matter be undertaken another year, with the experience of this tournament there Is no doubt the en terprlse would pay back dollar for the opinion that the legislature shon dollar. CASS COUNTY JAIL IN A TERRIBLE CONDITION Owing to the crowded condition of tho calander, the base ball tourna ment, Cherokee Indians and other at tractions, It was Impossible for the M. V. A. membership at this point to send a delegation to the annual log rolling which was held In Weeping Water last Saturday. Nevertheless, the picnic was a great success and was largely attended by Woodmen throughout the county. Prominent Woodmen were present and spoke on woodcraft, among them being J. M. Leldy of Omaha, and Mrs. Kate Rem ington who spoke to the circle. Prizes were offered to the smallest, largest and the oldest Woodman. Wilson Gllmore of Mt. Fieasant precinct won easily as the biggest Woodman In the county, tipping the beam at 305 pounds, and Mr. Gllmore Is not fleshy but well proportioned. Ed. Shepherd son got first money as the smallest Woodman present. George Laltuo of Union was the oldest Woodmnn pres ent. There were games and rnces, which amused the crowd. Threo ball teams contested for purses, Weeping Water winning from Klmwood, and Elmwood from Avoca. Tho purse was $30. Every recurring rain storm em phasizes the need of a building in which to keep Cass county's crim inals. Mr. E. Manspeaker and family who reside in the rooms above the cages and cells of the building called the Jail of the county, and the rooms are large enough to be comfortable, and would be if the roof was In shnpe to turn tho water on the outside, in stead of as It does, on the inside. Tho Inst heavy rain seemed to go entirely through the east wall of the upper story, and the mold which accummulated on the sides of the walls and behind pictures during a week Mrs. Manspeaker was absent, produced an odor that was anything but agreeable to the smell. The paper on the walls became so thoroughly soaked that In places it is falling !rom the ceiling, and the rooms arc almost uninhabitable. ith proper repairs on the roof and with the ex penditure of a small amount of ruon ey the matter could probably be put In passable condition. Something ought to be done with the whole structure and a new building erected In Its stead, as It Is a reproach to Cbbs county's civilization that men should be required to accupy such a den, no roof, no floor and hardly any Bide walls. State Officials Very Free in Ex pressions About the Act. A special from Lincoln under date of September 18, says: "Nearly ev eryone around the state house Is talk ing about the state wide primary law under which the present candidates for offices were nominated, and so far there Is not a state officer who has one word of commendation for the present measure. "Attorney General Thompson refer red to it yesterday as a "monstros ity," while Governor Shallenberger has repeatedly condemned it, saying on one occasion that he should have recommended that it be repealed by the late Democratic legislature which was responsible for It In Its present form. "Other state officers, Including those who were nominated under it have expressed themselves as have the two officers mentioned. Some in sist that the law should be repealed in its entirety, while others believe that the return to the old convention system should be by degrees and very gradual. "Secretary of State Junkin Is of Id amend the law so that it does not apply to candidates fon state offices but that delegates to a nominating convention may be selected at a pri mary and that other than candidates for state office be nominated as at present. . It is his opinion that the legislature will not consent to repeal the law In Its entirety, but that It will take the first steps which are to finally result in doing away with it. "State officers realize that It will be a hard matter to repeal the law for the reason that those who have been nominated under Its provisions aud elected to the legislature have no very great protest to make at its operation. But on the other hand there will be many members of the legislature who spent .teepless nights worrying over a nomination ciue to the wiping out of party lines in the late election, who otherwise would have had little caue to worry. These will insist on a change." Do you want an AUCTIONEER? If you do, pet one w ho has Experience, Ability, Juclgemcn!. Telegraph or write ROBERT WIKINSON, Dunbar, Heb.

Good Service Reasonable Rate ATTEND THE COUNTY SUN DAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Wednesday and Thursday, Septem ber 2Sth and 29th are the dates; Greenwood is the place, and improved methods is the theme of the coming county Sunday school convention. This is the age of improvement. The man or the institution that does not advance soon finds himself far in the rear. The automobile and the air ship have arrived and other things must keep pace. The Sunday school that tries to "do business" on the old plan of 50 or even 25 years ago will soon go out of business. The youth that attend the Sunday school of today Is accustomed to faster mo tions to modern ways of living and he must have modern Sunday school methods to attract Interest and hold him. There are a great many schools In Cass county that are awakened to this fact. Those schools are reaching out for anything that will increase their efficiency; those schools will be represented at the Greenwood conven tion next week. Is your school among this number? The program promises a feast of inspiration and help for every worker that attends. Dr. Hamlll of Chattanooga, Tenn., who Is, the principal speaker, is acknowledged to be one of the strongest Sunday school instructors in the United States. Do not fail to hear him. Remember the dates, September 28th and 29th. The program can be had of the secretary, Edith Clizbe, Weeping Water. Enter tainment provided all deiegitcs iree.

From Tuesdny's Dally At the noon hour while the deputy was at lunch, the county Judge's of- Ice was entered and robbed of a foun tain pen, a bunch of stamped enve lopes, a whet stone, a pair of scissors and a fine tooth comb. The thief was apprehended at J. C. York's barber shop with the prop erty on his person. Chief Ralney happened to be In the barber shop when tho man came In and offered to sell the scissors and some of the other property. Chief Ralney questioned the man and then searched him find ing the envelopes with Judge Bee son's name on them, one of the en velopes was addressed with a business communication in It, going to some party at Louisville. The culprit was taken to Jail and locked up. Miss Beeson had no key for the door and while she was at dinner, she closed the outside door but did not lock it, hence the thief had not much difficulty In making the haul. Andy Thompson, a prominent Dem ocrat from Cedar Creek was In the city today and made the Journal of fice a friendly call. J.W.
