DEATH OF ANOTHER CASS COUNTY PIONEER For Fifty-three Years William J. Laughlin Was a Resident of Cass County. From Saturday's I)ally. The Journal regretted very much to learn for the first time Friday of Ihe death of our old friend, W. J. Laughlin, which oc curred a week ago. His .suns, C. O. and E. G. Laughlin, were in the city on Friday, front whom ve( learned Ihe sad news. W. J.I Laughlin was a must noble citizen, and lo know him was to love him. When we say he was one of the test citizens in Cass county hun dreds of people who knew him are ready lo coincide with us. The following bography of the nohle old gentleman is taken from the Ashland Gazette; William J. Laughlin of Cass county, one of the real pioneers, died on his homestead Friday, August HO, 191:, after a con tinuous residence of fifty-three years, lie was horn in North Carolina March 13, i 8 .'1 0 , and was Jherefore 82 years !i months and ifi days of age. Mr. Laughlin was naturally of a vcnlursoine nature, and when at the age of lid he crossed the then fireal American desert for Ihe gold fields of California. After a year or so of this life he returned In his home at Ml. Pleasant, Iowa, going by boat to Ihe Isthmus of Panama, which he crossed and thence by boat to New Orleans and Keokuk, Iowa. After his return lo Iowa by remained at home un til on December H, 1 H 5 M , he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin continued to reside in Henry county, Iowa, until 18511, when he again was seized with the gold fever and started overland for Pike's Peak. When I hey had gone as far as Salt creek they met largo numbers of disheartened men, who were returning from the gold lields, and the reports these men Rave were so discouraging that the party westward bound, de termined to discontinue their journey. At this point Mr. Laugh lin became so infatuated with the location that he laid claim to i(0 acres through a "squatter's right." lie dug a cellar, hewed logs ready to build a bouse, and broke a portion of Ihe claim be fore returning to Iowa for lus family. The following fall, 1859, he came to Cass county with the avowed purpose of making it his future home, and he bail since made it so. At that time the nearest postollice was Platts mouth, thirty-four miles distant, and the nearest railroad was (II lumwa, Iowa. Mr. Laughlin, profiling by past experience in a new country, worked hard and with unbounded energy, having an abiding faith in the future of bis adopted stale, lie devoted himself to Ihe task of doing bis share toward the de velopment of the country and was always generous, and ready lo lend a helping hand lo those in need. Only those who have locat ed in an undeveloped country know of Ihe trials and big-hearl-eilness of our real pioneers. To Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin were born seven children, who hae also formed an important factor in the present development of Cass county. They are: Lucy Matilda, who died in infancy; Mary Catherine Loomis, deceased; John C. and llenjamin deceas ed; Oscar W. and Mrs. W. F. Laughlin, who reside on the home farm, and Kbeneezer O., who lives at LaCrosse, Kansas. Mrs. Laugh lin died some six years ago. lie is also survived by two brothers, It. F. of Greenwood and E. 1. of Ashland. Mr. Laughlin had filled many positions of , trust among his neighbors and was always in terested in education, and assisted in organizing the first district in Salt. Creek precinct, at that time the district embraced all the pre cinct, west half of South I lend and the northern part of Green wood, lie was a member of Unify Lodge A. F. and A. M., Greenwood, and Ml. Moriah commandery No. 4. K. T. of Lincoln. In early life Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin became identified with the Christian church, and ever remained faith ful to their faith and church. He was a man of sterling worth, a gentleman of the strictest integrity. (The funeral services were conducted from the late home of the deceased southwest of Ash land, Sunday at 2 o'clock p. in.', Flder C. A. Ileryck ollicialing, and interment was made in Ihe old territorial burying ground, near where the deceased had resided for lifty-l hree years. I'd. Journal.) An article that has real merit should in lime become popular. That such is the case with Chain, berlain's Cough Remedy has been attested by many dealers. Here is one of them. II. W. Ilendrickson, Ohio Falls, Ind.. writes, "Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the best for coughs, colds and croup, and is my best seller." For sale bv F. G. Fricke & Co. b'rem Friday' Dally. This is a funny world in some ways. One is always running across people that want to run one's business for him. The scheme and fake advertiser who comes to you with some wonderful plan for building up your shoe trade is a species of buttinsky who would like to get the chance to run your business for you, says the Michigan Tradesman. Of course he wauls to run it for a consideration. It isn't glory he is seeking, and he's not out running other peo ple's business for his health. He is out after the money. And if you take his fair propositions at face value he'll get the money, loo. He wary. If the merchants of your town have an association before which advertising schemes must come, well and good. In that evelit you can dismiss him in short order. If not you had better go slow. Remember that these people who want to run your business for a consideration are slick and oily people. Their main stock in trade is hot air. And the proposition is likely lo look passing fair. In imagination you car. some times fairly see the dollars grow ing. Look out. Go on the soft pedal. Hefore you close the deal, take time to write some of the people in other towns or cities where the oily one alleges that he has turn ed the old town topsy-turvv. Fxplain In him gently but firm ly that you never enter into any sort of an advertising arrange ment, no matter how fair in ap pearances, until you have done a little investigating on your own account. If he tells you that the lime is short, that you must act quickly to keep your competitor across the way from jumping at the chance that you let go beg ging, just let that competitor jump. Tell him you never depart from your established custom; and that your custom is o think it over. Query: Why is it these honored geniuses who are aliout I lie country ped schemes for running the fellow's business don't gel a busi ness of their own to run '.' The Weeping Water Republican. I The above-named paper comes I to us this week under the new (management, I. N. Hunter & Son. I The paper presents a very neat j appearance and is tilled to the brim with local news. The son, IK. L. Hunter, is editor, and the two Plattsmouth boys, W. p. Silz man and Fred H. Speck, will be retained in the mechanical de partment. The Republican starts out under its new management under most favorable auspices, and no doubt will receive the sup port it justly deserves. The Jour nal wishes Ihe Messrs. Hunter & Son all the success imaginable in the publication of the Republican. CHARLES HITT INJURED COASTING WITH WAGON From Saturday's Dally.

Corey, secretary of the state board of agriculture, returned from Minneapolis, where he had been at tending the Minnesota state fair, lie. fdso attended the Nebraska fair at Lincoln. "Both these fairs had better agricultural exhibits than the Iowa fair." Mr. Corey said. "Their stock departments do not compare with those of our fair, however. They have state laws which give the conn ties permission to appropriate money to be used for state fair agricultural exhibits. The result is that more at tention is paid to the agricultural end."
