News From Washington Is Ex pected Very Soon. WILL IT BE BUTLER, OR FOX t Editor Calhoun la Turned Down, but Bryan Names the Man Toe Farm ers' Institute Session Comes to a Close at Nehawka. Anxiously Waiting. News from Washington concerning the appointment of a democratic post master for Plattsmouth hs been anxiously looked for all day, but up to the hour of going to press uothing has been heard. It is generally given out that the plum will fall to Mayor But ler, but City Clerk Fox will remain in the race until the very end. When the nb"s concerning the Lincoln office arrived this after noon it was interpreted to mean that the president had coucluded to allow Mr. Bryan to name the post masters within his district, while others were of the opinion that a com promise had been effected whereby Bryan named the postmaster at Lin coln, Morton at Nebraska City and Boyd and Castor the local office. But, as one good democrat remarked, "we shall see what we shall see.'" Calhoun Is Tarned Down. A telegtam from Congressman Bryan to The Journal this afternoon brings the information that the presi dent refused to appoiat Editor J. D. Calhoun to be postmaster at Lincoln, and requested Mr. Bryan to name an other man for the position. The con gressman named J. H. Hailey, and the appointment was made and sent to the senate for confirmation. All through the fight for the Lincoln office the name of Mr. Harley has never been mentioned in connection with the office, so that he was a dark horse in the race. He is a druggist by occupation, and is one of Lincoln's leading business men. The many friends of J. I. Calhoun in the newspaper vineyard will be sorry to learn of his failure to secure the appointment. Farmers at Xehawka. The farmers' institute held in Ne hawka Tuesday and Wednesday was a great success. The men who were sent by the Nebraska state university gave the farmers a great deal of prac tical information. The meetings were well attended and a great deal of inter est shown. Prof. Card gave some very profitable information about grafting and planting trees. Hon. S. C. Bas set of Gibbon discussed "Dairying" In a business way that aroused an inter est which brought forth a number of questions. Prof. Bruner of the state university talked to the school children about the different bugs and their hab its of life and generation. He gave the farmers some remedies for destroy ing the cutworm, chinch bug and po tato bug. Hon. Charles Steele of Norfolk talked on the "Sugar Beet Industry." He showed the manner in which beetB are raised, how to care for them and the financial gain to be derived. It was clearly brought out that it will be impossible to continue the beet indus try if the tariff and bounty are both removed from sugar. Prof. Ingersol came to fill the place made vacant by the inability of Governor Furnas to be present. The professor spoke upon the general theme of the university. He showed the relation it bears to the people of the state. The Btate uni versity is a child of the state, he thought, and all its citizens ought to feel free to apply to the university upon any subject. The benefits to be derived from an education and the need particularly of books on agricul ture for every young man and woman was set forth very clearly. Nebawka possesses some local talent that added much to the interest of things. Among the different papers read were: "The Trimming of Fruit Trees.'' Isaac C. Pollard; "Selecting Seed, Rev. Mr. Fulcomore; "Moral Culture for Boys," E. A. Kirkpatrick, '?How to Make Farming Popular," D. V. Foster; "Farmers Institutes," G. F. Switzer; "Stock Raising," L. C. Todd. Some choice music interspersed here and there added much to the en joyment. This is Nehawka's first in stitute, but judging from present indi cations it will not be her last. Every one was well pleased with the meeting and departed with a kinder feeling for the head of Nebraska's great school system. Davis-Young. This evening, at seven o'clock, at the home of County Commissioner Geo. W. Young, in Mt. Pleasant pre cinct, will occur the marriage of Stephen &1. Davis and Miss Hattie J. Toung, Rev. T. K. Surface officiating. The groom is a son of Anderson Da vis of Eight Mile Grove, one of Cass county's prosperous farmers, and the bride is a daughter of Commissioner Young. The future home of the bride and groom will be on the Con ally farm, near Murray, and Tile Jour nal extends congratulations and best wishes in advance. IN AND ABOUND THE TOWN. The Todd, Dundas & Sage bridge company of this city had in a bid before the county board of Nemaha county far the county bridge work and were beaten out by the narrow margin of one cent a foot. Tom Crummel, the Otoe county bridge contractor, was the lowest bidder and was awarded the work. Cbet. H. Smith will be found in the future behind the prescription case of Druggist O- A. Brown, mixing pills with the same vigor he was want in days of yore, when Smith & Black Bros, constituted one of the best known drug firms in the city.

H.IIaldeman, of Weeping ing Water, was at County Judge Ram say's court today arranging for a final settlement in the estate of the late Ann Allison, of which be is adminis trator. Incidentally it might be proper to mention that Mr. Haldeman is planning to remove hither in a few months to continue in the practice of law in this city. Mr. Haldeman has no property interests in the town, but he was magnanimous enough to sub scribe toward the distillery project. Mr. Haldeman is welcome. There is room for such men in our midst. A FRIGID PLUNGE. Wm.Eikenbary had a bath Wednes day that he did not enjoy to any great extent. While assisting in getting out his supply of ice at the river he stepped upon a large piece which had been sawed, and the consequence can easily be guessed. By the assistance of by standers he crawled from the hole, and suffered only a cool, refreshing bath in the muddy waters of "Old Muddy." Union Ledger. Theodore Davis was arrested at Ne braska City yesterday, charged with robbing a store at Julian, Otoe county, a few days ago. The stolen goods were found In bis house. His brother, who was his aceomplice, escaped. : ONE DOLLAR ; Will be paid for any Cough or ; Cold that the Crown Cough Cure ; will not cure. ; The same rule applies to Brown's ; SarsapariUa.

Mrs. Palmer's Meeting;. A full house greeted the evangelist, Mrs. Anna Palmer, at the M. E. church last evening. From the scrip ture lessons she proved the importance and power of God's spirit as a controll ing influence in the hearts and lives of Christian people; the efficiency of united, earnest prayer, and with a consecrated church the rum traffic and its attendant evils would be banished from our midst. Mrs. Palmer is a fluent, ready, happy speaker, and held the attention of the audience through out the evening. It is safe to predict much good will result from her week's labors in Plattsmouth.

It is expected that representatives of the American railway union will be in Omaha Thursday to present to Judge Dundy a petition signed by 5,000 em- j ployes of the Union Pacific protesting against the recent equalization wage schedule ordered by the circuit court of this district. Eugene Debs, presi dent of the union, has wired the Om aha union officials that be will be in Omaha Thursday, and it is expected representatives of unions on the en tire system will be present to urge Judge Dundy to withdraw the order granted some days ago. In speaking of the order Mr. Debs is represented to have said: "The court not only reduces wages, but compels the employes to accept the reduction. If they submit without a fight their enslavement is accom plished, and no possible plea can lift them a thousandth part of an inch above the dead line of degradation. Federal judges are treading on dan gerous ground. If they are not totally mortgaged to their corporate bosses they will take warning of the mutter ings their cruel and infamous de cisions are exciting. The American railway union may be relied upon to do its duty, totally regardless of Judge Dundy. The real anarchists occupy the federal bench. The issue is upon us and I am in favor of facing it. If the men are true to their manhood they will rise as one man from end to end of the system, to resent the monstrous judicial outrage that strips them naked of their guaranteed con stitutional rights." The "Plan Sif ter"flour is the popular brand. Ask for it from your grocer. The "Urns Rehearsal."
