I. EASTERN liEBRASKA. A BEAUT FUL ONE A City Where Prosperity Reigns Supreme, and Beauty Adorns the Surroundings Where They Boast of One of the Best Organ ized Commercial Clubs in Nebraska. The Nebraska newspaper man who attended the democratic state convention at Fremont Tuesday and fails to say a-good word for that city and her business men in general will certainly prove him self very ungrateful. When it was first announced that the convention was to be held in Fremont it was thought by many that the committee had made a mistake in its selection. The editor of the Journal even thought so, but we have been fully convinced to the contrary. It has been fifteen years since we last visited the beautiful city, and it would take an entire page of the Journal to relate the many changes that have taken place since that time, and it will be im possible to do justice to the many enterprises which have become a part and parcel of Fremont in that time, and we will speak only of the manner in which the Com mercial club, which is made up of the business men of the city, entertained their guests. This was perhaps the largest democratic state convention that has assembled in Nebraska in many years, and those who at tended on this occasion returned to their various homes feeling that "it was good to be there," and also feeling that Fremont never does things by halves. The reception tommittee met every train and greeted the visitors with hearty hand-shakes, and gave them cordial greetings. Mayor George F. Wolz (that prince of good fellows), while a republican, was incessant in his labors to make the boys feel at home, and he most surely succeeded. He circulated among the delegates, DEATH OF A PIONEER LAOY OF CASS COUNTY Mrs. Louisa J. Nelson Passes Away at Her Home, Five Miles South of Plattsmouth. Mrs. Louisa J. Nelson, wife of Isaac Nelson, living five miles south of town, died at her home I his morning at 1 o'clock. Mrs. Nelson was born in Trum bull county, Ohio, April 22, 1838, but had lived in Cass county for many years. She leaves a son and 'two daughters, namely: L. W. Nelson and Mrs. S. MeXurlin of Weeping Water, and Mrs. Charles Martin of this city. The funeral will be held Satur day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Nelson home. Interment will be made in the Horning cemetery. The Journal will print further partciulars in a future issue, giv ing a biographical sketch of this excellent lady. Gases In the Body. The accumulation of gases in (he body is a source of great in convenience and even suffering. A reliable remedy in such cases js Triner's American Flixir of Hitter Wine, which regulates the .digestion, cleans out the organs and keeps lliein in perfect work ing order. It is to be recom mended in diseases of the stom ach, the liver and the intestines, because of its beneficial effect on these most important parts of the 'digestive system. It will cure constipation and give a prompt and decided relief in headache, sour stomach, flatulence, rheu matic and neuralgic pains, back ache and heartburn. It should be employed in all cases of in digestion, nervousness; ('nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, colic and cramps, as well as dur ing convalescence and wherever a good laxative tonic is indicated, at drug stores.

Every available automobile in the city was brought into use, and the visitors were invited to ride over the city and view the many points of interest. We availed ourself of this opportunity, and while the trip was made in short order, we noticed more fine resi dences and beautiful lawns than any city of the same size of Fre mont in the west. We say this wilhout any fear of successful contradiction. The streets are paved, concrete sidewalks in every direction and on all streets, which denotes the thrift and prosperily of the citizens. Talk about your electric systems. Fremont is right "in the swim" with the lalest, with elec- Iralicans, which makes a fine light and shows up the city in good shape. Anything that is good for any other city is not too good for Fremont, and they will have it if within their power to do so. Fremont is one of the best busi ness points in Nebraska. They have many manuftcuring estab lishments, many of which have peen secured through the in fluence of one of the best or ganized Commercial clubs in the stale, which works in harmony for the best interests of their city, and it is no wonder they point with pride to one of the best, liveliest and most beautiful cities extant. Long live Fremont, and may her good people ever be prosperous and happy. Postmasters In Politics. The Plattsmouth Journal won ders if postmasters are compelled to take part in every little politi cal stunt that is pulled off, and then states that the postotllce de partment might be surprised at some of the activities postmasters j in certain parts or the slate are taking. In the old days, we be lieve, Hie postmaster was the whole cheese in the party conven tions, but we understand Mr. Hitchcock has given orders to his postmasters to stay out of politics in the future. It is a good idea, and it remains to be seen whether or not the postmasters will obey the order. Nebraska Cilv Press rep.) Can't look well, eat well or feel well with impure blood feeding your body.

The directors of the Com mercial club met this morning and elected the secretary, E. H. Wescolt, to represent Platls niouth on the trip which the Ne braska Publicity league is taking to Boston to attend the national convent ion of Publicity Leagues. Mr. Wescolt departed for Omaha this afternoon, from which point the representatives will depart at 0:30 this eveninur. The selection of Mr. Wescolt to represent the Plattsmouth Commercial club is a good one, and being a very eiosn observer, he will be able to give such information as will prove of much interest to the club and Ihe citizens in general. Poison From Ivy. For poison from ivy and other plants apply sweet spirits of nitre without dilution. Weak am monia solutions are also good; likewise an application of lime water. Still another excellent ap plication is a saturated solution of boraeic acid. Boiling water is needed lo dissolve this powder. A boraeic acid solution makes it little alum of lead added to Ihe more effective.

Mrs. William Heinrichsen yes terday entertained the Jolly Fight Card club in a very charming manner. Seven games were played to determine the championship for the day, the first prize being won by Mrs. Roy Burdick and the second prize by Miss Olga Sattler. A delicious luncheon was served at i:30, after which the guests departed, declaring that it was the best meeting they had had for some time. Those present were: Mrs. Henry Timms, Mrs. Olga Croskary, Mrs. John Sattler, Mrs. William Mason, Mrs. Antone Kanka, Mrs. Hoy Bnrdick, Mrs. Fred Rcasoner of South Dakota, and Miss Olga Sattler. Pollard Qets Snubbed. The naming of S. W. Tturnham, in the republiacn convention at Lincoln Tuesday, as a member of the commitlee-at-large on resolu tions, was a direct slap in the face of E. M. Pollard, former congressman from the First dis trict. Pollard had been slated for the place, but Jefferis named Burnham, however. Rosewater and Burkolt immediately landed on Burnham. Tie said that he had not expected to be named and had nothing to do with the matter. Pollard was thoroughly angry. Tturnham offered to resign, but the mistake had been made and could not be remedied. The place on the committee would have furthered Pollard's congressional aspirations. Jefferis is now a marked man for the friends of Pollard. HAY FEVER AND SUMMER COLDS Must be relieved quickiy and Foley's Honey and Tar Compound will do it. E. M. Siewart, 1034 Wolfram St., Chicago, writes: "I have been greatly troubled during the hot summer months with Hay Fever and find that by using Foley's Honey and Tar Compound I get great relief." Many others who suffer similarly will be glad to benefit by Mr. Stewart's ex perience. For sale by F. 0. Fricke & Co. Tumbled Off the Chutes. Last.

Wilkinson discoursed on the theme of "The World's reat Stumbling Block," which ho defined as "Hypocracy," and also defined hypocracy, or rather a hypocrite, as being one who did wrong and tried to have people be lieve he did not do it and that his actions were right. In his address the speaker said in substance: "The great objection which many people offered against the church and of becoming members thereof, was that there were, so many hypocrites in it, and that they ilid not wish to be aligned with them. They generally say, too, that T am not .and not just what I am.' 1 am a sinner and do not pretend lo be anything else. Now, that is an honest con fession, but it has not changed the sinner into a Christian, for he is si ill a sinner and he has objected to joining the church because lie saw some who have enrolled themselves as members who were not just what they should be. Look at Ihe secret orders of all kinds. They have some members who are not what is desired, and they have the black ball lo keep their membership clean, and it would be expected that in Ihe church, which throws its doors wide open for the reception of anyone who it can benefit, that some would creep in who were not what they should be, but it is the mission of Ihe church lo make I hem belter, which it strives to do, and in most, cases does. Again, it is not the Christian I hat is Ihe hypocrite in the church, for one could not be a hypocrite and a ' Christian. That would be im possible, and when one looks at Ihe matter without prejudice, he sees it is the sinner under his proposition which is keeping him from being a Christian. Take, for instance, a man who lias com mitted a . misdemeanor and has bad lo serve lime for Ihe same and he is free again, should he go lo Ihe lodge and knock for ad mission, the ballot would say, 'No, we cannot accept this man, for he is not what we would like for an associate.' But when he seeks admission into Hie church the church says, 'Yes, if, is our mission fo lake him and do what we can lo make him a better man and n good citizen,' and the doors swing open for him. Now, the case is Ihe same with Ihe drunk ard, Ihe abandoned "woman or any oilier person in similar circum stances. "You who object lo joining Ihe church because I hero is someone therein who you do not think worthy, might as well say, 'I will not live in Plait smooth because someone lives here that I con sider is not 111 lo associate with; therefore. I will move to some other town.' Will he go lo Glen wood, or Nebraska City, or Oma ha, or out. of the stale lo Kansas. Missouri, Iowa, Colorado or Ihe Dakota, or will he have lo leae Ihe United Stall's? Then where will he go, to China, F.ngland, France, Germany or Russia ? No. be will And Ihe same conditions there, and when he leaves this world, unless he joins I he-church, be wUkfmd the same conditions.

E- Wescott's S HOME OF SATISFACTION and to increase goodfellowship, will continue to accept those who may need its help to become bet ter citizens and it will thrive, no matter what the world may say. It is apparent that the one who only has for his reason that there are some in the church whom he does not choose to associate with, is staying out and is using this for an excuse, which makes him a hypocrite, and in the same cate gory as the one he objects to as sociating with." A number of pictures were shown of the west, of Cripple Creek and tho mountains and mines, as well as some Indians. An illustrated song was given, "Let tho Lower Lights Bo Burn ing," by Miss Daniels, which was well received, as her voice has now improved after the recent at tack of her throat during the first part of tho week. The address this evening will bo, "Unpardonable Sin," accom panied with some pictures and an illustrated song. Everybody In vited. Stop and Thinkl Why should you pay rent?

Nebraska republiacns in con vention at Lincoln Tuesday gave President Tuft and his admin istration a strong indorsement, and effectively blocked all efforts of a small band of insurgent dele gales to arouse sentiment for Senator Robert M. La Follelte of Wisconsin as a presidential can didate, Tho insurgents lacked a leader and were outgeneraled by Victor, Rosewater and his delegation from Omaha. Before the insurgents could get a chance to introduce resolutions from the floor, the regulars had rushed through a motion provid ing that all resolutions should be referred to a committee which was given power lo draw up a llnal report. . Chairman A. W, Jefferis of Omaha then named a committee of seven members, of which live were strong mends of Mr. raft, and of which Mr. Rosewater was made chairman. From (his point the sibililies of a light on thea over the indorsement of Mr, pos tloor Tart went glimmering. Despite their early announce ment that they would not assent, to a 'I'a ft indorsement on any con ditions, the insurgents failed to make even a show of II till I or objection when the platform resolution was dually presented. The resolution went through willi a whoop by a rising vole, during which several of the in surgents were discovered oil Ihelr feel. An al tempi to have I lie conven tion instruct the resohit ions com mittee to refrain from indorsing any individual candidate met with summary treatment. I. D. F.vans of Adams county secured Ihe door for Ibis purpose, but he wan howled down by other delegates and gaveled out of order by Chair man Jefferis before he could read his resnlul ion. This was as far as (lie insurg ents could get willi their light lo prevent a Tafl indorsement. From this .juncture the much vaunted insurgent opposition slumped lo nothing. The Red Willow and Washington county delegations, which hail been most active in Ihe movement, quit the contest when it was learned (hat there was no posibility of a minority report from the resolutions committee. Out of the total of 855 votes in the convention, it was said by regular leaders that the insurg ents could not noisier a following of more Hum ir() delegates. A Trip to Canada.
