i 1 j i I li f 1 r J IN AND ABOUND THE TOWN. And still there comes no news from the national capital in regard to the riattsmouth postoffice! Thomas Troop of the precinct de parted last Wednesday afternoon for a month's visit at his old home in Scott county, Iowa. J. C. Crosser.one of the best-known farmers in the vicinity of Murray, was in the city Monday and gave The Journal a pleasant call. Theodore Ileim, one of Louisville's best-known farmers and staunchest democrats, was in the city on Friday and called on these headquarters. Ex-She iff Wm. Tighe who has served the county for the past four years and also served it well, will re move back to his farm near Manley. At an early hour Friday morning a big land-slide occurred on the IS. & M., eoiith of Peru. The slide was re ported to be five hundred yards long, and trains were delayed for several hours. Col. Poke is to be congratulated in se curing editorial help on hissheet. It's quite certain that he neededit. We must sympathize, however, with the new comer in being thrown into such liad company. Ex-Deputy Sheriff John Tighe tioarded a B. & M. train for Omaha last Monday. lie states that he will commence work at the Willow Springs distillery at Omaha as U. S. pauper on Feb. 1st. The funeral of the late John Ritchie, whose demise occurred early Wednes day morning at his late home in South Park addition, was heid from the resi dence Friday afternoon at two o'clock, and the remains were interred in Oak II ill cemetery. Louis Degendorfer journeyed to Om aha hist Monday to take treatment under Dr. Bryant for an eye which he injured a week or more ago. Mr Degendorfer will remain in Omaha under the doctor's care throughout the present week. The Pearl street jail has recently been scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, and the place really resembles a new building, as far as cleanliness is concerned. The change will certainly be appreciated by the prisoners conGned therein. The ice harvesters were compelled to discontinue operations cn Satur day. The warm weather of the past few days has so honey-combed the ice as to render it unfit for packing. Al the present writing the prospect for an abundant ice harvest this year are de cidedly slim. Col. Race of the Weeping Water Eagle issued a newsy sheet last week, which fact is doubtless due to a gen erous use of numerous items clipped from TriE Journal. It may also be added that the colonel failed to give proper credit. The Eagle readers, however, must have the news, and we feel disposed to forgive the Eagle ed itor in his garbling. The Elmwood Echo of last week states that "the county commissioners allowed Hyron Clark a fee of $200 for assisting Matt Gering in the defense of Hilf and Benwell." The Echo is in error. Mr. Clark was allowed $200 for assisting County Attorney Travis in convicting the two prisoners. It is also a fact that he earned his money. We say this because Col. Poke's Noth ing did not yelp about the allowance. Landlord V. F. Hamilton of the Hotel Riley wants it distinctly under . stood that he made no affidavit to the effect that the jurors in the Hill case slept in his hotel. He simply made an affidavit to the effect that the jurors occupied apartments in bis hotel and that the apartments were connected with folding doors and were the same as one room. He knows nothing as to whether the men "slept" while within the rooms. The arguments in the case in which Joe Conway sued for the $300 reward for the capture of the Akeson murder-1 ers were completed last Friday and Judge Lansing took the matter under advisement. There is no question but that Conway will be entitled to the re ward, but the court is in doubt as to whether Akeson should pay over the amount, or whether Conway should recover from Chief Cooper. It is argued that Akeson should pay the amount to Conway and thpn seek to recover what he paid to Chief Cooper. On the other hand. Akeson claims to have paid the money under a misap- piehension and that he should be re lieved from paying it again. Lincoln Journal. liar. Onf Wife Too Many. Justice Archer last Saturday issued a warrant for the arrest of John D. Marshall on a charge of bigamy. Mar shall lives two miles and a half south west of Murray, and an officer left immediately to serve the warrant and bring in the risoner. According to reports Marshall and his nrst wife separated some five jears ago, and have sincr lived apart, but were not divorced. Marshall hns recently taken unto himself another wife, and will now have to answer to a charge of bigamy. Japanese Pile Cure is the only one that can be guaranteed, as it is the only cure. Sold by Fricke & Co. A Farmer and Hia Gun. Cass county farmers who would know the most successful method of downing the festive lightning-rod shark, should profit by the experience of a farmer in the neighboring county of Sarpy, as told in the following by the Papillion Times: The morning was bright, the mercury low. Two nicely-dressed strangers drove up to the Claus Hauschild farm home in Plattford precinct. The gen tlemen were advertising a new kind of lightning-rod. They proposed to erect one rod in each precinct, just to adver tise their wares to the farmers. The large barn on the Hauschild place had been selected for the Platford precinct "advertisement." Like the sensible fellow that he is, Claus told the strangers they bad better do their ad vertising in the newspapers, but, to make a long story short, they finally induced Claus to sign an order for them to rod his barn at the ridiculously low price of $10. Having secured the order, they informed Claus that their men were quite busy and would not be around to put up the rod before three weeks Filled with pleasure at the rich bargain he had made, Claus went about his farm work. Three hours later, instead of three weeks as they had agreed upon, the workmen came to put up that rod. They asked no questions, but went to work, and when Claus returned from the field the job w. a half done and the barn roof was a net-work of rods. Claus remon strated, but the men worked on. Claus wanted a more definite understand ing. He thought too much rod was being placed on that barn. "No need for a better understand ing," said one of the workmen on top of the barn. "Here is your written order for $740 worth of rod, and we must obey orders and put in on the building." "Seven hundred and forty dollars!" exclaimed Claus. as soon us be could regain his breath. "Why, the other fellows said it would only cost me $10." "But we have your order for the work, and it must be done," said the oily mechanic, as he strung out an other ten foit of the costly rod. Claus was dumbfounded. He tried to reason with the workmen. They were too busy to heed him. He grew desperate. He got his gun. Covering the workmen on the ground with the trusty weapon, he kicked down the ladder by which the fellow on top of the barn had ascended, and promised to let buckshot and day-light through the first man who touched that ladder, lie had 'em on the hip. It was tber turn to cry mercy. The workmen on the ground might escape, but the fel low on the roof was in Claus' power. He was thirty feet above the ground, and the eround was frozen. A jump would mean death. Recognizing they were fairly caught, the scoundrels wanted to compromise. They offered to return Claus his written order for $100. "Not a centl" said Claus. They would take $50, then 825, then $5. then ?2, which Claus agreed to pay if they would surrender the order and get off the farm in live minutes. The patlej lasted nearly an hour, and at its con clusion the tellow on the roof was so nearly frozen that he could scare stand when he reached the ground. Fearing he had done something wrong, Claus hastily drove to the office ot the county attorney to learn what' penalty the law prescribed for beating a lightning-rod agent at his own game. He insisted he had not pointed the gun at the men, but said be believed he would have shot them if they had not returned the order which they had fraudulently secured. "You have committed a serious of fense," 6aid Prosecutor Lefler to Mr. Hauschild. "While perhaps it was not your duty under the law to have shot those men to death, you clearly did wrong when you permitted them to escape with whole hides." And Claus returned to the bosom of his family with a happy heart. If you want something nice, lovely and sweet go to Meisinger & Lohman.

Platts mouth, Neb. 12-8 ly Mr. Todd Accepts the Cup and Saucer. Some two or three weeks ago a pair of local jokers expressed a cup and saucer, on which was embossed a like ness of the Cass county court house, to L. G. Todd, the irrepressible county Beat agitator, who lives near Union. Mr. Todd hastens to acknowledge the receipt of the gift, and indulges in an other of his periodical ghost dances ovtr the fact that Cass has a court bouse and that it is located at Platts mouth. Mr. Todd addresses himself to the Union Ledger as follows: Mr. Ei;itor Please allow the un dersigned to express his sincere thanks and kindest regards to the unknown Santa Claus or Dago chief, or whoever he may be, lor the present of a very fine china moustache cup and saucer, embellished with the $80,000 court bouse. The sunt of this cup "causes the past to rise up before me like a dream." I shall enjoy this coffee cup very much in all my declining years. Cass county surely has a magnificent temple of injustice, a very suitable place for the trial and expenditures of thousands of dollars to determine the guilt or innocence of confessed mur erers aid to replenish the empty pockets of disreputable and profligate1 barristers. If the old-fashioned or thodox religion is true (and I begin to think it is) when we all get to the gate of St. Peter and clamor for admittance the question of Dagos voting for bonds will come up for bearing, and a tran script from the district court will be there. No doubt Chiefs Sullivan and Gering will be employed for the de fense, and "when the last trumpet sounds I will be there" if I can hear it. where I will submit the case to sn infallible judge without argument, and may the Lord have mercy on their souls.
