V 1 MONDAY, AUGUST II. PAGE 2. PLATTSMOUTH SOU-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ANDREWS M BE SELEGTED AS CHAIRMAN Hastings Man Suggested as Suc cessor for Jesse McXish. From Saturday's Dan v. W. E. Andrews of Hastings is now being talked of for chairman of the republican state committee to succeed Jesse C. McXish. who resigned at Omaha a week ago following a dis agreement with A. L. Sutton, the candidate for governor. The sugges tion of Andrews name is said to have Wen received with approval by some of the nominees, who are anxious to L'et a chairman generally acceptable t'- the party. Andrews has always been a stand natter and held ofbee as auditor of the United States treasury department un der the McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft administrations. After returning to Nebraska last year, he made the race lor congress in the Fifth district in the republican primaries last April, but was defeated by S. R. Barton. It used to be the custom of Mr. An il rews. while connected with the fed eral administration to visit Nebraska dining each campaign and give out interviews showing the beneficent re sults of high titr iff and other star.d- at policies that were in vogue dur ing the republican regime. On one such occasion he lauded the "Payne" tariff bill (refusing to call it the Pay-rc-Aldrich bill, as it was generally known) and declared it to be the best measure of its kind ever enacted. This was shortly after President Taft had made a similar declaration in his fam ous Winona speech. At one time the sobriquet of Te ruria Bill" was bestowed on Mr. An drews, on account of his picture being widely published with a patent med icine advertisement. The memory of this has largely been effaced by his recently coming out for state prohi bition. Lincoln Star. YOUTHFUL BASEBALLISTS ENJOY GAME YESTERDAY From Saturday's Daily.

PLANNING TO ALLOW THE NATIONAL GUARD TO VOTE Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 11. Attorney General Reed has. written to Senators Hitthcock and Norris and ail the mem bers of congress from this state, ask ing their assistance in securing fed eral legislation which will make it pos sible for soldiers of the two Nebraska regiments, the signal corps and the fold hospital, now in service on the Texas border, to vote in the coming election. The present state law does not per mit voting by mail from outside of Nebraska, and there is no session of the legislative between now and elec tion, it will be necessary for con gress to act if the men are permitted to vote. The same situation exists in other states. Attorney General Reed believes congress has power to make a law allowing soldiers to vote, al though it does not have jurisdiction over suffrage qualifications in the var ious states. There is not believed to be much prospect of congressional legislation on this subject, as a proposition deal ing with it was recently turned down in the form of an amendment to one cjf the appropriation bills. CERTAINLY A PINE PICTURE From Saturday'3 Daily. The show window at the Stanficld "oo!c Shop has a very handsome pic lure of the cair.p of Harold Be 11 Wright, the novelist, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

From the Western Spirit, published at Paola, Kas., the following account of the death of Mrs. W. C. Robertson, a former resident of Cass county, is taken. The lady for a number of years resided with her parents in the cen tral portion of the county and will be remembered by a large number of the older residents of this locality: Mrs. Martha Robertson, wife of W. C. Robertson, died Sunday evening, July .0th, at G:0o o'clock, at the home, COS East Chippewa street. Her death was the result of a seere cold, con tracted last November that developed into pneumonia. Complications set in and her strength gradually ebbed away into a peaceful sleep Sunday evening. Martha Reed was born in Jackson county, O., February 12, IS". so at the time of her death., was ."3'.) years old. When quite small she went with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Reed, to Cass county, Nob., and was married at Dewitt in 1S4 to Mr. Rob ertson. The family continued to live in that state until lt01 when they went to Alva Okla.. but the following year they tame to Paola. where their home has been since. The deceased was a kindly, patient, home-loving woman, whose every thought was for the- comfort of her husband and the advancement of their children. Five daughters were born to them. One died in infancy, but the other four. Isabelle, Edna. Harriet and Lucy, are at home with the father. The mother lived to see all of them equipped with good educations, the three eldest successful teachers in this county and the youngest preparing to teach this fall. Mrs. Robertson was a member of the Methodist church from her girlhood and lived a consistent, useful Christian life. The funeral services were conducted from the home last Tuesday afternoon by Rev. O. B. Thurston, and interment was in Elmwood cemetery. Sincere sympathy of many Miami county friends is extended the bereaved hus band, who is ill and unable to leave his bed, and the daughters. SHOULD PAY THEIR TRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM From Saturday's Dally. It has been remarked upon how few persons pay the proper respect to the playing of the national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" when it is played at the band concerts at the park each week and if the audience who do not remain seated during the anthem they make a break to get out of the park. This is hardly the proper thing to do as the idea of playing the national anthem is to give everyone an opportunity of paying a slight tri bute to their country. To almost every place where it is played the audience remain standing until the last strains with bared head. The band is showing a feeling of patriot ism in playing it at the concerts tint those who attend should also ioin in this tribute to Old Glory, that has stood as the emblem of our country through all these years of strife and under whose folds we eniov life and liberty. It is probably merely a case of thoughtlessness on the part of most persons but in no other country would the playing of the national anthem be allowed to pass unnoticed. TO EXCHANGE.

J. Beeson, west of the city. The meeting of the sisters was one that was filled with much pleasure to all of the family, as it has been over forty years since Mrs. Joseph Jeffe ries of Olympia, Wash., and Mrs. Bev erage have been able to visit together, and twelve ' years since Mrs. T. B. Brown, of Los Angeles, the second sister, has been back in the old Cass county home. The ladies all formerly resided at the Brantner homestead, out near Eight Mile Grove, ami here many happy ytars were spent, but in the past forty years they have not been able to be with each other and the occasion given them to meet their sister, Mrs. Beverage, was much en joyed, as the other three sisters ha.'e been able to be together several timer, all being residents along the Pacific coast. The ladies will not only at tend the golden wedding, but will re main over for the Home Coming fes tivities, and hope to have the privilege of meeting a number of the old friends and neighbors who will be in Platts mouth during this time.

SETS AT REST RUMORS ABOUT SEPARATE PEACE From Saturday's Dan v. Petrograd, Aug. 11. The rumors which were circulated after Premier Sturmer's appointment as foreign minister, that Russia might entertain proposals for separate peace, have elicited a definite denial of such a possibility from the new foreign min ister. In denying the rumors to a correspondent of the Russky Slovoe, Premier Strumer said: "I have learned that my appoint ment is commented upon in some cir cles as forecasting a separate peace. I desire to strengthen the public be lief that the change in the post of foreign minister must not be consid ered in any sense an indication of the variation of Russia from the line of conduct of the last two years toward her allies. The agreement with them will not be changed." HARD TIMES SOCIAL. From Saturday's Dally. There will be another Ep worth league social Tuesday evening, Au gust 15th, at 3 o'clock, at the home of A. R.

DOG FROM WEEPING WATER SUFFERING FROM RABIES From Saturday's Dally. It would seem that our neighbor ing town of Weeping Water has been visited by a mad dog, and one victim, a Mr. Erwin, is reported from that locality. In speaking of the affair the Republican has the following: 'The dog that bit Mr. Erwin here Tuesday night of last week was de clared to have rabies by the special ists in Omaha who examined the head. Mr. Erwin imediatcly took measures to prevent his geting the malady by putting himself under the care of a physician, who is a relative of his at Auburn. He will receive treatment" similar to those given at the Pasteur institute, as these can now be given by any physician." SOME STRENUOUS EXERCISE. Thit MuMnir.g shortly after V o'clock J.

Another of the smooth check passers h-.-.s visited the city and as a result of bis visitation has made away with 11 in goc.t! hard cash secured from two "bum" checks passed on J. E. Mc Daniel and Edward Domat. The man who signed the checks gave the name of Robert Coyan. and the checks were signed with the name of William A. Fight, one of the prominent farmers of near Mynard. The stranger began operation here on Friday night when he visited the saloon of Mr. McDaniel and after purchasing several drinks for himself and companions tender'. d a check for ?21 which was signed bv the name of W. A. Fight. It was not thought that there was anything the matter with the checks as the man had been working for Mr. Fight for some time and of the course the check was honored. Mr. McDaniel did not take the check to the bank until 11 o'clock Saturday and it was not until 2 o'clock that afternoon that he was notified that the paper was worthless as Mr. Fight's name was forged on the check and he at once notified Chief Barclay of the matter and the case was turned over to the county authorities to look into. The man Coyan having gotten away with the first check in such good shape decided to try his luck again and visited the saloon of Edward Donat Saturday afternoon aboi. o'clock when he passed another of the worthless checks for the sum of $10 which was also signed with the name of Mr. Fight. After securing the money from Mr. Donat, the man Coyan made his get away and having an hour's start be fore the worthless check held by Mc Daniel was reported he was able to make a disappearance. It was reportec that Coyan had been at the Union picnic on Saturday afternoon and ac cordingly Sheriff Quinton journeyed down to that locality in his auto but was unable to find any trace of the man, although several claimed to have seen him at the picnic grounds. Coyan 'has been working for Mr Fight for the past few weeks and had evidently ascertained the possibilities of working the bad check deal by us ing the forged signature of his em ployer on a check. This is another of the numerous cases of bad checks that have been worked on the business men of the city and Mr. Cohen had chosen a good time with the rush of pay day business on to shove the bad checks. So far no trace has been found of the man. Cure for Cholera Morbus. "When our little boy, now seven years old, was a baby he was cured of cholera morbus by Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme dy," writes Mrs. Sidney Simmons, Fair Haven, N. Y. "Since then other members of my family have used this valuable medicine. for colic and bowel troubles with good satisfaction and I gladly endorse it as a remedy of ex ceptional merit."
