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

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.

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. L. G. Todd.
