PLATTSMOUTH
Addresses About Five ' Hundred
People at the South Door of
the Court House.
William Jennings Hryan, 1 1 1 -silver-tongued
orator of
mocracy, spoke this morning for
15 minutes to an audience of
about 500 people in front of the
court house. There is no speaker
in the nation who can draw the
crowds that Colonel Hryan can,
and no man in public life has de
voted so nnich of his life to I ho
betterment of the conditions
throughout our country.
Mr, Hryan made a very forcible
argument in favor of electing a
senate and house to assist Mr.
Wilson in the passage of laws for
the benefit of the people and to
rescue the country from the grasp
of private monopoly. He urged
the voters to elect Mr. Shallen
bergro to the .senate, as he has
been in the light or the common
people for the past twenty-live
years, and has always been a
stalwart supporter of Mr. Hryan
in all bis fights for the people.
lie also pointed out the need of
the voters of the First district to
return Congressman Maguire to
congress and to give him a large
majority so that he could feed that
the voters of the district, were be
hind him in bis fight for reform in
the government.
Mr. Hryan also urged the voters
to remember that other pioneer
progressive, John IF. Morehead,
and give him their votes for gov
ernor of the slate of Nebraska.
That, the republican party had
made a failure of administering
the government for the people and
had allowed it to be run for the
benefit of private monopoly was
evident on the face of it, and that
in the election of either Tuft or
Hoosevelt the common masses
could not hope for the relief from
the burdens that had been laid
upon them by the trusts, and that
the hope of the country lay
through the election of Woodrow
Wilson to the presidency.
The fact that the steel trust
magnates were in charge of tin
Roosevelt campaign ought, to lie
proof that they and not the peo
pie would be the benellcaries of
the election of Hoosevelt to the
presidency. He slated (hat Mr.
Hoosevelt bad mistaken the blast
ing furnaces for the burning bush
and the voice of Perkins for the
voice of (iod, and that his candid
acy for president came not from'
a popular demand, but from a
carefully mulured plan by House
volt and his friends to hoodwink
the people.
Mr. Hryan was accompanied by
a male quartet from Lincoln,
which gave two rousing campaign
songs. Congressman Maguire
and Clarence Ilarman, candid
ate for railway commissioner,
were also in the party.
The special went from here
to Nebraska City, where they will
leave for Lincoln, traveling Ibis
afternoon through Otoe county
and closing tonight at Lincoln.

RANGE GET IN TROUBLE
Saturday night two soldiers be
came involved in a quarrel in I'.U
lionat's saloon with an outsider,
and after considerable rag-chew
ing, were induced to go outside.
The. police happening along about
I hi time, they were escorted to
e jail to repose until the
authorities from the rifle, range
could come down to lake them in
charge. The government deals
quite severely with the soldiers
for offenses of this kind, there
being heavy lines attached to it.
Yesterday afternoon one of tFie
soldiers, who had evidently been
drinking, was coming down Main
street and when in front of Oor
der's implement store was seized
with a desire to destroy some
thing, and accordingly drove his
fist through one of the glasses in
front of the store.
The soldiers who were arrested
Saturday night were arraigned in
Judge Archer's court this morn
ing and lined $5 and coses apiece,
which they paid and wen released.
T. J. SDKOLS DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS
The dance Saturday evening at
the T. J. Sokol hall was quite
largely attended and a good time
enjoyed liy all the dancers until a
late hour. The only tiling to mar
the evening's enjoyment was the
trouble that several soldiers tried
to start early in the evening when
they were denied admission. They
kicked in one of the windows in
the basement of the liall and were
very much of a nuisance to the
dancers, as well as the committee
in charge. These dances are al
ways enjoyable events, as good
order is maintained and nothing
to offend anyone is allowed, and
this a Hair was something
committee could not, prevent.

BE SURE AND VOTE
FOR THE PROPOSITION
Tomorrow is election day and
the voters of the county want to
bear in mind the county jail
proposition when they go into the
polls to vote and cast their ballots
for its adoption. It means a great
deal of useless expense will be
saved to the county and that we
will have a building that will not
be in danger of tumbling down
over the beads of the prisoners,
as well as the jailor and his fam
ily. Think the matter over.
Would it not be belter to erect a
new jail than to go on paying out
thousands of dollars to try and
keep the old relic we now have
from falling down?

years of age at the time of his
death. Completing High school
and a short normal course at Val

A Slight Correction.
Dear Editor: I wish to correct
a statement made in your paper
Saturday evening under the head
ing, "Miss Hassler Deputy Re
corder D. of II." ' The article
stated that Miss Hassler had
served in that capacity in my
ofllce. While she was one of my
stenographers for a number of
years, she was at no time my
deputy, as our laws did not pro
vide for the appointment of a
deputy, and I appointed none. This
correction is made in justice to
myself and all concerned.
