In li'OO Monsignor Tihen went to I he Catholic university at Washington, where he took special courses. Monsignor Tihen has long been noted as an eloquent pulpit orator and plat form speaker. He is in demand on all extraordinary oc casions, such as the dedication or churches, labor day meetings, etc., and under the auspices of a lyeeurii bureau he toured a large part of the United Stales, speak ing on social, economic and patriotic subjects. Part of the territory thus covered will now be subject lo his episcopal jurisdic tion. All the proceeds except actual expenses received from his lecture tours were donated by Monsignor Tihen to aid in the construction or Wichita s new cathedral. Today he is a poor man. The most noticeable side of Monsignor Tihen's charactecr is his unfailing kindness to the clergy of the diocese.

Mr. Sage has a large farm near I he town of Minco, and here is where he spent most of the time. While j (i)(.n i1( met Will Noxon, an old Cass county man, who owns a good quarter section near Minco. who is among the unlucky farm ers this year. The dry weather has completely ruined the crops in this immediate vicinity, al though they are having an abundance of moisture at the present time, but arriving too late to save the crops. Mr. Sage says everything is looking pretty good under the circumstances. About thirty miles east of Minco they will have about half a crop of corn. fleorge Tains, keeper of the county farm, went to Omaha this morning lo visit his wife, who is ill at the Immanuel hospital. a Good OU might think we re taking quite a loss in offer ing to sell such good clothes as ours at the prices we're quoting now. But we figure that what we take off the price, we put into mak ing friends; and that's always a pro fit. We're willing to take less in or der to give our customers more at least once a season.

The deal was closed last even ing whereby Wevrich & lladiaba became the owners of the white front store building, just east of their drug store, formerly oc cupied by Mrs. Norton as a mil linery store. The properly was owned by Mr. W. W. Coates. who is now a resident of Oklahoma. Th" building is very desirably located and the new owners figure that it can be easily rented, by which they can receive lair re sults on their investment. It will je remodeled and placed in good condition to suit a long-time tenant. A MAGNIFICENT RECORD FOR BURLINGTON ROAD On Time Every Day From April 1 to July 18, One Hundred Consecutive Days. Fast Mail Train No. 1 5, leaving Chicago at 9: HO p. in. daily, via the Hurlington Route, arrived at the transfer at Council HlulTs exactly "on lime" every day from April 1 to .Inly 18, inclusive 1(11) consecutive davs. The dis tance from Chicago lo the trans fer is 59 i miles, so that during, that time this train ran 53,841') miles, or more than twice the dis tance around the world, without even a minute's delay in arrival at its terminal, notwithstanding the fact that it was quite fre quently held for mail at Chicago. The Durlington's Fast Mail Train No. 7, leaving Chicago at 2: 15 a. m., also carries mail and the Chicago newspapers. Dur nig the above-mentioned period of 109 consecutive days, its de part ure was also frequently de layed, yet this train ran the same distance (53,816 miles) and heal its own schedule. Doth trains have been in serv ce for many years as the Hur linglon has carried the trans-con t menial mail tor twenty-seven consecutive years, having met every demand of the Post Olllcc Department. J he running or I rains on schedule lime is one of the 111 obligations a railroad owes lo its patrons. Mich punctuality in transportation is of tremendous importance to the commercial, in duslrial and social life of the country thus served. It not only rellccts the wonderful physical condition of the Hurlington's roadway ami equipment, but the very high character of the entire organization, as well. Prof. Abbott's Mother. The Fremont Herald, in speak ing of Ihe death of Mrs. Abbott of that city, says: During the almost half century in which Mrs. Abbot I resided in Nebraska she was held in the highest esteem by every one who came to know her; a woman of culture and refinement, and in her more active years, deeply in teresled in her-church work, she held a position in the community and in the affection of her friends that marked her as an exceptional character. When the family of Thereon Nye moved to the present beautiful property on Nye avenue, the Abbotts bougnt the old Nye home, which stood on Ihe present site of the Y. M. C. A. building, and it was there that Dr. and Mrs. Abbott made for themselves a reputation for genuine hospitality and social leadership that outlived lheir lime. For many years Mr9. Abbott and her daughter have re sided in the property adjacent to the parish home of the Episcopal church, lo which both have been deeply and religiously devoted. To the Public. Havelock, July 20, 1911. Through the columns of the Journal I wish to thank the friends who so kindly sent me a copy of the Journal containing an account of Ihe distress of the Oeinger family in Omaha. We in Havelock were unaware that they were in distressed conditions, as Ihey have an income large enough to insure them against want, and we are at a loss to understand how such a report got started. We can only say there Is no truth in it. Mrs. fieinger is in very poor health, and in no condition to re interviewed by a reporter, as was probably the case. We are subscribers of the Journal, but thank the sender, whoever It was, for his or her kindness. Re spectfully, Mrs. C. A. Rankin. Alba Nelson and wife and son Lloyd, were passengers this morning for Omaha, where they went to consult specialists in re gard lo Lloyd's throat, which has been troubling him for some lime ie expelced to have an operation performed.

Wilkinson lectured last evening lo a crowded church. Prior to the lecture, which was illustrated with stereoplican views, miss Daniels sang marcn- ing Through Georgia," which was illustrated with war scenes ami marching troops and the like. After this Rev. Wilkinson gave a reading, "A Soldier's Letter," while Miss Daniels operated the picture machine. The reading was very pathetic and the pictures helped the audience lo under stand the production perfectly, as the camp scenes and I ho scenes before and after battle were all vividly portrayed on the screen. The lecture on "The Man Trap" was also a vivid portrayal of the pitfalls which the youth of our land are constantly exposed. The pictures connected with this lecture were a revelation in them selves, impressing on the minds of the young auditors Ihe many devious ways in which the youth is lured to vice and crime. The speaker sl art oil out with a small j hoy, who was being offered a cigarette, and with illustration ami vehement word pictures con demned Ihe altitude of some thoughtless parents in not only loleraling Ihe smoking, but vice of cigarette (heniselves en - couraging it in the youngest members of Ihe family. A pic- lure of a youth starling from Ihe parental roof with his parents standing at Ihe gale as he leaves, and on another side of the path sign boards were shown. On the youth's right hand was the sign, "Keep to the Right." On the oilier side of the path was a piclure of card table, a drunken gambler and a lewd woman. Ihe speaker invited the boys on Ihe front seal to make a guess which way Ihe boy would turn, and one boy answered, "To the left." Hut the next piclure showed the youth go ing to the right and depicted his honorable career, but later the pictures leading lo the left were shown, and they taught a lesson every boy in Ihe town should have seen and heard. Intemperance in all ils forms was lectured upon by Rev. Wilk inson. ihe glutton, the opium and other drug fiends, as well as the rum fiend, were shown tip In Jheir hideousness. At different points in the lecture the speaker received the applause of his audi ence, and particularly when ho staled that society had no right lo make a double moral standard, one for the young women and one for the young men, and that the moral delinquents, either male or female, should stand on Ihe same footing and be regarded alike by respectable society. After the lecture Ihe baptismal ordinance was administered lo two persons. Notice to Land Owners. Notice Is hereby given to the land owners in Plattsmouth pre cinct that the weeds along their places must be cut. There are only a few lo whom Ihis notice will apply, as most all have al ready complied with the law. Mike Lutz, Road Overseer. GREETS WLKINSON DC of five years.

A very pleasant alVair was held at the home of Mrs. Allen Itee son yesterday afternoon, when several of her friends took it up on themselves lo surprise her. The principle entertainment was derived from a "gum contest." The object of Ihe game was to see who could manufacture the best elephant from a slick of gum. Mrs. Thrasher proved to be the most elllcient in gum modeling, and consequently received many congralulalions from her friends on her "artistic temperament." At f o'clock a delicious three course luncheon was served, after which the guests departed, having spent a most delightful afternoon with Mrs. Ueeson. SURPRISED ON HER . THIRTY-SEVENTH BIRTHDAY Number of Neighbors and Friends Drop in to Assist the Lady in . Remembering the Event. From Saturday'! lmlly. A very pleasant surprise party was given last evening at Ihe home of Mrs. J, lladraha in honor of her t hirty-sevenl li birthday an niversary. Forty-tlve of her friends arrived unexpectedly ami announced lheir intention of re maining for the evening. The time was spent In social conversation, games, music and Ihe like. During the course of , the evening delicious refresh- linenls were served from the well- j stocked baskets provided by the "raiders." At a lale hour Ihe guesls departed, wishing Mrs. lladraha many happy returns of the day. 8he received many pretty gifts, which will aid her in remembering Ihe pleasant affair. Girls May Work at Night. Telephone girls may work all night and their employers cannot be fined for violating the female labor law of Nebraska. This is Ihe decision of Deputy Attorney Ciencrnl Ayres, given in answer lo a question asked by Labor Com missioner L. V. Ouye. Former Labor Commissioner Will Maupin prosecuted the keeper of a res taurant in Omaha for employing a girl after 10 o'clock at night, and Judge Eslelle of Ihe district court of Douglas county decided that women or girls cannot be employed from 10 p. m. to 0 a. m. This decision appeared to strike telephone compnnies, who em ploy girls all night, but the deputy attorney general has de cided that Ihe female labor law does not apply to telephone com panies, because a telephone office is not a manufacturing, a me chanical or a mercantile eslab lishmenl mentioned in the law. Tough on Plattsmouth. An evangelist named Wilkinson is dispensing Ihe gospel at Plattsmouth. That is a good town to practice in, but so far as results are concerned he might as well go lo Ihe cemetery an preach lo the mounds within the enclosure. Nehawka News. Mr. Louis Frcidrich and wife were in Ihe city last evening in Mr. Friedrich's new car, havlnft come lo the county seat to look after some business matters, DC iQsouno iiminG HARDWARE MAN J They Are Each Fined $10 and Costs and Committed to Jail in Default of Payment. From Saturday' Pally. The sheriff relumed last night with the men who got away with. A. Finder's boat, and the two were arraigned before Judge Archer this morning and fined 910 and costs each, which was about $27, to be divided between Ihe convict ed men. They gave their names as Tom White of Omaha and W'iL liam Lewis of Montana. They slated lo the court I hat Ihey had been in I'latlsmoufh for a few days looking for work, and that they had applied lo Mr. Haird for a job, which Ihey could get provided Ihey could And a place, to board, which Ihey failed to secure. They ihen heard that there was a lot of work al apple-picking on Ihe oilier side of Ihe river, and Ihey took (he boat lo cross over, expecting lo tie il up on Ihe other side. They got the sail up and went over, but when they tried to lake the sail in the boat would lip, and they drifted further and further down the river. Al Rock port, Missouri, Ihey got into con siderable I rouble, and one of the men limped considerably, prob ably from Ihe effects of the shot In the leg. In default of payment of the fine assessed for breaking the lock on the boat, and Ihe costs, Ihe two men went lo jail, where Ihey will languish until Ihe de mands of Ihe law are satisfied. A Little Worried. I'eople who buy insurance have a right lo feel a little worried over what the future holds In store for them, says Ihe Lincoln News. The purchase of two local fire insurance companies in the last few weeks by big eastern concerns is not a mere incident Ol business, but is apparently part of a general plan for a centraliza tion of ownership of insurance slock. There are now just two orally owned slock fire insuur- ance companies doing business la Nebraska. There is but one left in Kansas, two in Wisconsin, anfj a similar shrinkage elsewhere. Naturally one suspects that the Intention is lo later put the screws on as to rates, but Ihis does nol neecssarily follow. The odd thiny about rales in the past has been that it was the local ocmpanies that stood for higher charges, while the rate-cullers were the agents of the big eastern conv panics. The home companies were impelled to do this, as they asserted, because their business was largely done at home, whiU the big fellows, who covered the-' country, could cut rales in one or more places, and recoup them selves elsewhere. For the New Bridge. Four carloads of lumber ar rived in the city today to be used in the construction of the Platte river bridge. The citizens are glad to see Ihis enterprise pro gressing so rapidly. Mr. Frank Holub departed for Hrainard on Iho morning train today, where ho will visit friends over Sunday. SHERIFF REINS WITH BOA THIEVES l!
