A. log rollinz at Nehawka Saturday, A ii -'list !'.. The Nebraska City band will furnish the music, and there will lie sports of different varieties to amue both old and younp. Make your arrangements to attend and lake the entire family. :o : The summer edition of the Liu coln Star is certainly a "whoop er." It consists of more than eighty page and is a preat boom er for Lincoln. The Star certain ly is in the hinds of hustlers, to pet out such a mammoth edition, which is certainly a preat credit to the capital city of Nebraska. :o: When some people learn that the success of the democratic t arty does not entirely depend up on their action they will evidently fare better in the estimation of former friends. Thev should learn that other people have opinion a well as themselves, and have the same right that they have to express them. :o: Kvery county in the state of Ca'ifornia is authorized to levy tax of 2 mills on the dollar of as sessed valuation, the fund to be Used to encourage jmmipra! ion.

And Plattonouth's rep resentative. K. II. Wescott. was ripht to the front in letting peo ple know that Plattsuioulli was one of the principal points in the state. Jew people are found now win will say a word for the Pavnc- Aldrich tariff, and yet some per fons want to suffer under it for another year without relief from its monopolistic, provisions. :o: Only one more week till the primary election Tuesday, Aug ust 15. Democrats should re member to write the name of James T. Reynolds on their bal lots for clerk of the district court. :o: So far the primary campaign has been conducted very quietly and the candidates have no harsh words to say against one another. We aro plad to see tha campaign conducted ho Riod-humorell. :o: The O. A. K. reunion at Ash land last week was larpely at tended, and a biff success in every lime, but that through rartciular. The only thing to mar the pleasure of the occasion in any way was a speech from Gov ernor Aldrieh. The tJeorgia "Ad men" treated the convention at Hoston on watermelon, and from the ap pearance of the delepates it was seen that they arc very clever at filling space in more ways than one. , :o: According to the Cuban consul in Kansas City the "uprising" in Cuba i9 not serious and nothing will come: of it. Doubtless he is correct. Nevertheless, that's against wearing the feathers of song birds, no woman can safely vear a rooster's feather while in that state. :o: Do we have these naval war games to save the summer hotels from hiring ball nines, or to keep the jackies from flirting with the summer girls? :o: A woman has been appointed examiner of the government mint, and now the doddess of Liberty on our coins will have tier hair properly curled. :o: There is a revolt in Cuba owing to gov eminent praft. t'p here we hanp around the city hall instead of taking to the tall timber when the jackpot passes around. :o: The crews of the submarines boast of theoretically destroying the battleships in the war game but somehow they are not sat is fied vvfth beinp fed on hypotheti cal bacon. :o: Standard Oil is split into 33 companies, and how the con sumer will feel if he has to pay for multiplying the book-keeping expense by 33. :o: The picnic season in Cass county will close next week, and then the Commercial club should begin to hustle for some kind of a fall entertainment for Platts mouth. ists wil Iregard the other 999.V99 patents as trival and unimportant. :o: For repent of the university be sure and vote for Otto Katouc of Humboldt. He is a young man of most excellent qualities, a gradu ate of the state university and a man whose character is above re proach. He has served two terms in the legislature and his ability is first-class. :o: The apony will soon be over, and then we will know who are to make the race for the various offices. Next Tuesday is the date of the primary election August 15. Remember the day and be sure and come out and vote for the candidates you desire to see nominated. :o: A kindly critic explains that Secretary Wilson is so honest himself that he makes the mistake of thinkinp everyone else is honest. Anyone as guileless and unsuspecting as this is manifest !v not the ripht man upon whom lo rely for the enforcement of the pure food and drugs act. :o: Oeorpe W. Herpe's friends throughout the state, it seems, are letermined to bring him lo the front for povernor next year. Well, we don't know of very many men in the state that could fill the office with any more or better satisfaction to the people of Nebraska than Georpe W. Berge. :o: The Journal don't particularly object to other papers copying articles from this paper and giv ing credit to any other live paper, but we do object to the Fremont Herald copying our articles on what we said about Fremont and giving credit to the Plattsmouth Evening News, which has not been in existence for nearly three months. :o: Governor Aldrich is willing to be sacrificed on the altar of the nited States senatorship. r.vi- CATARRH d i dently the republicans of Ne braska are anxious to retire the governor from active life by kill ing him off as a candidate for Senator Brown's shoes. :o: J. W. Crabtree, state superin tendent of schools, has accepted the presidency of the normal school at River Falls, Wisconsin, and expects to resign in a short time. There are about a dozen applicants already for the place. Hut it will be hard to pet one as available as Prof. Crabtree. :o:- President Taft toasted the em peror of Japan Saturday nip lit as "a preat ruler who has given all of his time and energy and intel lect to the progress of his coun try and the interests of the peo ple." The president, it appears, has great admiration ror progres sives in Japan. :o: Recent statistics show that last year the farmers received about .8,000. 000,000 for their crops and that the consumers of those crops paid 815,000,000,000 for them. Here is a field for careful study. To whom did that $7,000,000,000 go? Can anybody tell? One thing is certain. A good many of these millions went to the banks for financing the transportation and sale of these crops. :o: La Follette is still the choice of a great many republicans of Ne braska, notwithstanding the en dorsement of Taft by the post masters and federal office-holders, who controlled the last Lincoln convention. The masses of the party do the voting, and when it conies to selecting delegates to the national convention a differ out tale may be told. :o: L A r " - T - a e 5 i i 3 J C ' 5 Oo - sis? 5 a s l.

Litda The charge nmis made bv the Journal and so far not denied that a resolution was presented to the proper committee of the re publican party ut the Lincoln con vent ion endorsing pension legisla tion favorable to old soldiers, which has been pending some some slifc'ht-of-hand the resolution was laid on the shelf, yet a similar resolution was presented and adopted by the democrats in their state convention in Fremont. Can it be possible our republican brethren were so engrossed in their efforts to endorse Taft that they jut simply overlooked the old heroes, or have the old soldiers become only a minor con sideration with members of tho republican party in Nebraska? What do the old veterans think of it? :o: The south central portion of State Auditor Barton don't be lieve in being pushed out unless he knows right where he is going to light, consequently he is bid ding for the republican nomina tion fur congress in Ihe Fifth dis trict. Harton's ability is not so great as his scheming in the ranks of the different orders he belongs to. There's where he gets his pull. And without that he wouldn't be in it with any oppon ent he might have. :o: In a moment of irritation Sen ator Penrose of Pennsylvania ex claimed: "The republican party is no longer in control of the United Slates senate." The re publican party is still in a nia jorily, and that it is r.ot in con irol. if it is not, is due entirely to Is failure to represent publi'3 sentiment. The recent election appears to have taken some of the starch out of republican bluff and bluster. tune, two years ago Plattsmouth practically had but few concrete sidewalks only on the main streets. Everybody seems to have gotten busy and as a result vou can travel in most any part of th; city on these durable walks. Property owners seem to have come to the conclusion that they are a good investment. The snme thing applies to good roads get one permanent road started and tlie others will come regardless of cosl. :o: The death of Edward M. Shep ard. a leader of the New York leniocracy, removes a man who :o:- The final adjournment of con gress is promised for some date this month. All but two of the important bills rassed by the house are expected to be out of the way by August 15. :o: When the steel trust investi gating committee quizzes Mr. Roosevelt they may find them selves in the witness stand while he does the cross-examining. :o: The democrats of Cass county should all vote for Sim Upton for railway commisisoner. He is a home man and has resided in the county for many years, dive him a boost from his own county. :o: Patent No. 1,000,000 was is sued in Washington Saturday, and the distinction goes to the in vent ion of a ' punctureless" tire If it is really punctureless motor Voters who find no candidates on their primary ballots or who do not find candidates to their liking may write in the name of the person they favor, according to an opinion written by Attorney General Martin. The law of 1907 forbade this practice. The legis lature of 1009 amended the pri mary law to specifically provide for writing in names. As the primary law was again amended last winter tins section was simply dropped. The latest law- does not say that names may or may not be written in and the at torney general is following the last definite enactment on this subject the law of 1909. :o: Chairman Underwood of the house ways and means committee snys that if the new cotton tariff bill became n law it would save the consumers $209,000,000 a year. Prorated among 90,000,000 people this would mean a saving to each of them of a trifle over $2 or ?8 to $10 per family. Well, every little bit helps. Directors K. K. Windham E. P.

The funeral of William Hoga boon of I.a Plalte. better known in Plattsmouth by the name of llucklebone, who died Sunday in the hospital at South Omaha, was held at 2:30 o'clock this after noon at La Platte. He was a familiar figure on the streets here, and was often referred to as the "Mayor of La Platte." He was 70 years old. He came to this country as a refugee in i 8 r 3 or 18(i. and stayed at Orapolis the first winter, then took up a claim across the -Platte river in Sarpy seemed born for the best in public county. He was a member of the life, and deserved it for his char-' fnn" Nebraska cavalry and was acter and capacity, and yet was always cheated of his political de serts by some malign influence or untoward combination of circum stances. Rut the man who smash ed Ross RcKane of Coney Island was not a real failure in public life, though unsuccesful in win ning positions of power and poli tics in New York are less dirty to day because Shepard worked to purify them. He was a line speci men of the good citizen. :o: . Cuts and bruises may be heal ed in about one-third the time re quired by the usual treatment by applying Chamberlain's Liniment. It is an antiseptic and causes such injuries to heal without ma turation. This liniment also re lieves soreness of the muscles and rheumatic pains. ' For sale by F. O.
