OH YES, SHE EDITORS ARE II ON SOME From Friday's Dally. A fiood many editors are said not to know much. The trouble is that they know such a lot of stuff that they dare not tell. They know who drinks Ihe beer, and they know the ladies who deviate from the straight path of recti tude, and the boys who smoke in the alleys and the dark places, and the girls who are out auto riding till the roosters crow for daylight. They know the fellows who are good pay and they know the fel lows who can't get trusted for a tobacco sack full of salt. They could guess at once w hy some fel lows go to the citv ami they can guess pretty closely what I hey do when they get there. F.ven in a town like this they know enough to make one of Ihe red-hottest, rip-snorting, high-geared, triple- action, chain-lightning editions you ever read, but . they also know that it is best for the community and themselves to let the law take care of humanity's devilment and publish only such news as will d to read in the home. Fdilors generally pursue this policy, and thereby live longer and get more enjoyment out of life. No Night for Plattsmouth. Plattsumulh will be unable to secure a special night at the Ak-Sar-Hen den this ear. William Holly, who has managed a number of the excursions in the past, lias received a reply to his letter ask ing for a Plat t sinoulh night at the den, from Secretary Weaver, informing him that all nights had been daled and expressed his re gret that the request had not been made before, as (hey were always glad lo welcome the Plallsinonlh people at their den. New Journal Reporter. Since last Monday the Journal has had a new reporter, in the person of Frank II. Smith, who seems to take hold like an old hand at the business. Mr. Smith has been connected with the Jour nal in various capacities for the past ten years or more ami pos sesses all the necessary require ments to fill the position he has assumed. He is quick to got around, there is nothing tied to his feet, and if you have any news to give him he will gladly take all items of this character. Receive him kindly anil he will do the rest.

"Jumbo" Perkins, well known in ami about Pacific .Junction, is a rather expert surgeon when necessary. While a party of men were mending a break in the Pony creek levee, following Ihe heavy rain this week, I tick Fisher stepped into a hole in Ihe water just as he caught a sack of sand and threw his leg out of joint. He fell back into the deep water. Perkins knew he was hurt and carried him up to the bank. Fish er explained where the pain was. Perkins decided the leg was out of joint and immediately pulled it back into place again, although Fisher's cries of pain were loud ami continuous. Had Perkins been like the majority of men he would have called a doctor, who could not have arrived until the leg was inllainined and swollen. The number of people present at the time are willing to heartily recommend Perkins as an effect ive surgeon in certain cases. The break in the levee was caused by the water tearing through a rat hole. It was dis covered soon after it started and a number of men repaired it at once. The creek was not. entirely full, so little damage was done by water. (lien wood Tribune. Wedding Last Evening. From Friday's Dully.
