PLATTSMOUTH WAS FORTUNATE No lniage Done Here Hut Tale of Il UHter Come From Other Neighbor ing Town Against th Oc cupation Tan- Num. Just Ullssed the Cyclone, l'lattsmotith's location among t lie hills gives her one natural advantage not possessed by prairie towns. A windstorm can not do effective work or very great damage among our hills, but is forced to seek a more level country on which to vent its wraths and play its cruel prauks. And our tornado-proof location probably saved us an unpleasant visit from a regular old twister last night. Ataboutseven o'clock a great black cloud was seen in the northwest, apparently coming down the valley of the Platte. But the south wind, which had been blow ing for nearly wenty-four hours, hur ried the black mass northward at a terriffic rate, and for a few minutes it kept a weather vane hustling to indi cate the direction of the wind. The tornado,or cyclone or whatever it was, passed up the Missouri river valley and did considerable damage in the bottom lands around Omaha and Council Bluffs. The summer resorts at Manawa and Courtland suffered greatly, and at the latter place a boat keeper was drowned at Cut-off lake, while the three steamers were sunk at Manawa. Several persons were more or less injured at Omaha by being struck by Hying missies, and consider able property damaged. In this city the damage was confined to broken shade trees, and at the iirst ward school building the belfry was blown off. Of Interest to Merchants. Some few weeks ago J. B. Xortb cutt, a merchant at Nebraska City, refused to n;iv the annual occuDation jtax which the city levied against his business, and the city promptly pro ceeded to enforce payment by taking the matter into the courts. The result was that the merchant won. Judge Chapman tried the case and rendered the decision yesterday. Owing to the fact that there are several Platts uiouth merchants who refuse to pay their local occupation tax and the jcity council has evidenced an in dention to force payment, the de i cision is of more than ordinary inter est, lhe .Nebraska City .News men tions the case in that town as fol lows: "The case of the city of Nebraska City vs. J. 11. Nortncutt wherein suit was brought to collect tiie occupation tax was heard this morning before Judge Chapman, in district court, and the court decided that the issues were in favor of the defendant, and that the city could not recover by civil action the tax. on the manner in which the suit was brought. This is the same suit that has been in the district court for some time, and was once reversed on error in lower court, but was tried today on the issues of the case. The judge did not state just how the city could collect the occupation tax. as he rendered no oral opinion. The case will be ap pealed to the supreme court at once." A Rival of the Iluhel Mystery. There is another murder mystery for the Omaha police to solve. This time it is a man who is the victim. About 7 o'clock yesterday morning Private James Ileffernau, company D, Second United States infantry, was found dead beside the Elkhorn tracks near north Twenty-fifth street. The body was removed to the morgue at once and an examination made. It was found that the skull on the right side of the head, just above the ear, had been fractured. There was a scalp wound several inches in length. Wood had flowed freely from the wound and had covered part of the face. No other bruises were found on the body. It was supposed at first that Ileffernan had been struck by an engine, but when the dead man's pockets were found to be almost empty the theory of murder was advanced. A sergeant of company D tays that Ileffernan was known to have had some money and a gold watch. A search of his locker at the fort showed that these articles had not been left there. Xo report of an accident had been made to the Elk horn officials. Ileffernan was at the fort Tuesday night until after the parade and then went out for a walk. He h:is the repu tation of being a good soldier, is not a drinking man and never was known to pick a quarrel. The police think that the soldier was struck by a train and knocked down the embankment; that someone came along, saw the body and rifled the pockets. The deceased was thirty years of age, enlisted in New York state and had served Learly five years in the Second infantry. The police, the coroner and the officials at the fort are investigating the case. The Picnic Postponed. The Lord, or. the weather depart ment, or some other agency, probably J. Pluvius, does not smile upon our colored people, and their picnic scheduled for today has been post poned on account of unfavorable weather. For the past several weeks preparations were being made for the event on a scale that indicated a grand time, and now it is all spoiled by the copious showers of rain. An abund ance of provisiona-were prepared for th s event, and our ' colored friends x Yi have enough to eat for several days, even if tifcy do miss the picnic part of the programme. In Favor Of the itinliop. Judge Chapman rendered his de cision in the llonacum-Coibett case at Nebraska City Weduesday. The de cision is quite leugthy, covering six pages of closely written legal cap paper, and is in favor of Bishop liona cum, as follows: "The court finds upon the evidence that defendent wrongfully usurps the rights of parish priests in the mission of Palmyra, and that he forcibly and violently denies plaintiff the use and enjoyment of the same. That the plaintiff holds the fee tothe realty and property of said parish and has the right to occupy and use the same and that defendant is a wrong-doer in so far as he denies the plaintiff and his appointee, Joseph A. Smith, the use of the same, and said injunction is made perpetual to the extent of forbiddine defendant from entering the church property of said mission for the pur pose of interfering with plaintiff's control over the same." The judge also rendered a decision in the other case, wherein the bishop asks that Father Corbett be enjoined from using the funds of the church now in a bank at Palmyra. This de cision was also in favor of the bishop, and ends all litigation in the district court for possession of the church and money of the Palmyra mission. The defendant's attorney filed an exception to the ruling and forty days was given to file a bond for $500, on which to take an appeal. The decision is just what has been predicted it would be by those who heard the testimony and know the history of the case. Father Corbett appeared very much put out over the decision and was rather dejected, as were also the other priests who were there and who are interested in downing the bishop in this case.

Wood, was swim ming in an unused sand-pit at Louis ville Wednesday he was attacked by cramp, and before assistance could reach him was drowned. The body was recoved last night. The scene of the unfortunate occurence was on Jas Robertson's place, where an unused sand-pit thirty feet deep was used as a swimming place by a crowd of boj s. Kirs at I'arific Junction. The general merchandise store of J W. Throp and the building adjoining at Pacific Junction were totally de stroyed by fire Wednesday. Loss will reach several thousand dollars, par tially covered by insurance. The Japanese Pile Cure is the only proper application for internal piles and is mini atiteed in every case by Frirke & Co.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incura ble. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's ca tarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Copyn'Bhted 1(!U l y Charles Austin lintes. A Washington piano house is just now using considerable space in the local papers to advertise a voting con test. The most popularschool teacher in Washington is to be presented with a free trip to Europe, lasting thirty days. The ticket to cover all t ranspor tation charges, hotel bills, carriage drives, etc. from Washington to Eu rope and back again. This may be a very good scheme, but ; I doubt it. It is hardly what I would call legitimate advertising. A trip to Europe and the most popular school teacher has nothing on earth to do with the desirability of the pianos. It will be talked about more or less, and in so much is advertising, but I doubt very much if it will result in any very great good. I would very much rather take the money that this trip costs and use it in straight newspaper advertis ing. Advertising properly considered, and in its strongest sense, is merely telling people what and where and why par ticularly why they should buy some particular thing. Advertising isn't good unless it accomplishes this and convinces a greater or less number of people that the advertiser and the thing advertise! are just exactly what they have been looking for. A trip to Europe doesn't prove any thing. It has nothing whatever to do with the piano business, and anybody from a butcher up, might use it with equal propriety. I do not believe in scheme advertis ing of any kind. In some caes it may pay, but they are few and far between. The kind of advertising that can al ways be depended on is newspaper ad vertising. It always does what it is intended to do if it is properly used. If it ever fails it is not the fault of the medium, but the fault of the adver tiser or the way he advertises. The right sort of advertisements in the newspapers go right into the family circle, exactly where the dealer wishes his goods to go. For this reason, if for no other, it is better than any other possible method for bringing busiuess. I have had quite a good deal of ex perience in managing different out sideschemes foradvertisinga business, and I have been able to figure up the results rather accurately. I have never et seen an undertaking of this sort bring back enough money to pay for itself, either directlv or indirectly. This free European tiip will cer tainly cau-e more or less talk, but will it cause the riytit kind 'of talk? Will it carry one-fourth the conviction that straightout. common sense talks in the newspapers would do V These are questions on which the piano people wili probably be expensively intelligent after the contest is over.
