So far the election in Cass
county has not as yet created any
particular excitement, the people
hav ing about made up their minds
which way (hey intend (o vote,
and there is evidently some sur
prises in store for tho.e who are
running for oflice. No one has
any cinch on this election, (hat's
one thing certain.

Till' La Foiletle forces have ef
fected a stale organization, and it
is .surprising to see the many
prominent republicans who are
taking pari in the La Foiletle
boom. Of course, the postmasters
and federal office-holders will still
stay with their master until the
last minute and then run to the
other side.

Will Mau pin's Weekly, pub
lished at Lincoln, is doing more
good work for Nebraska than any
one paper in the stale. Every is
sue is filled Willi good food for
the Nebraskan who is for Ne
braska first. last and all the time.
It is a publication that should
reach every hamlet in the state,
and the community where j would
more generally circulate would he

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley is com
pletely exonerated by the presi
dent. As his job as chief chem
ist of the department of agri
culture pays only $5,000 a year
the loss of his place would have
been a matter of slight concern to
a man of Doctor Wiley's ability.
Hut the decision that he is (o re
main is a matter for much con
gratulation to that portion of the
public which prefers (o eat pun
foods. :o:-
We had thought to pas
through this campaign without
bearing of any lying reports. Hut
we Uh.i"rs(and (hat her is a re
port in circulation up at Murdock
that Don Rhoden will appoint a
certain man his deputy, if elect
ed. Now, dear reader, don't be
lieve anything of this kind. Don
Rhoden has not signified his in
tention of appointing anyone, and
won't until after the election.
Because a man is "a g I fel
low" is no reason why he should
he kept in oflice until after he has
madea fortune and then some. The
people of Cass county who believe
in giving others a chance at the
pie counter will vote for James
I'. Reynolds for clerk of the dis-
rict court, especially when the
pialities of the candidates are on
eipial rooting. Mr. Rev nobis is
one of the best qualified men in
Cass county for this very im
portant r lllce.
:o:-
The Nebraska City presbytery
adopted resolutions antagonistic
to Hamer ami Oldham. The
chances are n thousand to one
that the members of that bodv
l not know a single thing
against either gentleman, and
took the word of two or three
gentlemen who receive so much
per for agitating constantly. Yet

The people of Cass county are
presented this year with the op
portunity of electing to (he oflice
of clerk of (he district court a
man who stands forth as one of
rigid honesty and unblemished
character, and a man whose com
petency is equal to that of any
one, in or out of office. We refer

as a candidate for this office. He

- :o :
The road leading from I'laUs
,'hoiilli's City limits to the Platte
river bridge should be placed in
proper shape before the opening
of the Platte river bridge. And
who-e duty is it but the county
commissioner: to see that this is
done? It is their duty to see that,
this road is put in proper shape
as much as it is to have roads in
other sections of the county re
paired and placed jn passable
shape, and the work should be
commenced at once. .
:o:
The democratic parly seems to
be on top right, now, and if no
desperate mistake is made we are
sure to capture the presidency
next year. We do not want to get
too much excited over who shall
be the democratic candidate for
president. We have plenty of good
men, any one of w hom would he a
great improvement upon the man
who at present is endeavoring to
till the bill. Throw aside all
jealousies and bickerings, and let
us all get together for one com
mon purpose saving the people
of the country from the clutchen
of the desperate gang into whose
hands I hey are about to fall.

EGGS AND THE HEN.
How important a factor the lien
is in the commercial life of the
nation has often been pointed out.
It has been given additional em
phasis by a recent bullet in is
sued by the United Stales depart
ment of agriculture, which con
tains much beside of interest to
egg producers, dealers and con
sumers. II is shown that the products
of the American hen reach an
nually a total value of ii20,ono,
Otiu, ranking thus in dignity with
(he wheat crop ami (he hay crop,
and causing Hi it and potato
crops (o have to combine U make
as good a showing. It is not en
tirely mi( if hailing distance frnn
the great totals of the corn ami
co fori crop.
Eggs, t fn ii . const it ule one of
the nation'. most important
Tops, ami th department of
agriculture is devoting to it a
measure of study and investiga
tion befitting its importance.
The special efforts of the de
partment, the results of which
niv embodied m the recent bul
letin, were directed toward elim
inating the '15,1100.1100 loss that,
annually takes place in the mar
keting of eggs-quite a serioiiH
fax on the trade, arid heavy bur
den, of course, on the ultimate
consumer.
The bulletin shows that this
loss is due to the careless treat
ment of the eggs which tak.-s
place on the farm, and in the
country store a result, of course,
of the lack of proper knowledge.
It is this lack the bulletin aims to
supply. The plan of dealing in
and paying for eggs according to
their duality is urged instead of
according to number regardless
of quality.
Conserving the busy hen and
her products i.s indeed one of the
most beneficial activities in which
the department of agriculture can
engage.

This la the Case With Many
Plattsmouth People.
Too many IMatlsnioiilh citizens
are handicapped vvilh bad backs.
The unceasing pain causes con
stant misery, making work a
burden and stooping or lifting an
impossibility. The back aches at
night, preventing refreshing rest,
and in I he morning is s t i IT and
lame. Plasters and liniments
may give relief, but cannot reach
the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure
the kidneys.
Moan's Kidney Pills are fur sick
kilneys thousands testify tt
their merit. Can you dmibt Platts
mouth evidence?
Frank S. Urinkman. Eleventh
street, Plaltsmoulh, Neb., says: "I
can vouch for Doan's Kidney
Pills, knowing (hem to be a good
kidney remedy. My back at times
became so lame that the simplest
movement was painful anil I had
frequent headaches and dizzy
spells that caused me no end of
annoyance. Mornings on arising,
f could hardly drag myself about.
In spite of the many remedies I
tried I found no relief until
finally I began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procure! at Rynott Sc
Co.'s Drug Store. They effected
a prompt ami permanent cure."
