(ratting Notes.
The Louisville bridge case U in a
worse muddle than ever. In passing
on the case the supreme court atfiraied
the judgment of the lower court,
which ordered the Cass county com
mla.Hiouera to repair the whole bridge,
but the opiniou later modified matters
by stating that the county was liable
for ouly the south half. The attorneys
for the Louisville people sought to have
the supreme court make the opinion
more definite by moving for a rehear
ing, but the motion was passed on the
other day und the same deuied. This
leaves the question in a worse tangle
than ever, lu one breath the supreme
court makes one order and in the next
they take it all back. The court can
doubtless bear up uuder the delay and
so can the Casj county commissioners,
but the Louisville people are up the
proverbial stump. Their attorneys will
make another effort to get something
tangible out of the court before con
cluding that the decision was intended
to stand.
Th District Judgeship.
The democrats of Ca&s county are
considering the name of Judge J. W.
Eaton, of this county, as a candidate
for district judge In opposition to Judge
Chapman, who will doubless be the re
publican nominee for re-election next
fall. In connection with the district
judgeship, however, there is talk that
the present legislature will make a de
cided change in thisdistrict. It issaid
an effort will be made to place Cass
and Sarpy into one district and let
Otoe constitute a district by iuelf.
This would decidedly change the
status of the next campaign. Mr.
t!aton would make a good judge, being
well conversant with law and would
be a formidable opponent to Judge
Chapman. D. T. Ilajdcn is also bting
talked ot by the democrats of Cass.
Whatever attitude the judgeship maj
assume, the peps will be found
shooing rlies oft of some one. Ne
braska City Independent.
The above remarks are perfectly
legitimate barring the mention cf a
possible division of the present dis
trict, by which Otoe is made a dis
trict on its own account, while Cass is
to be tacked onto Sarpy county. There
is hardly any probability that any
such move will be made. Otoe county
does not have enough court business
to demand its having a district of its
own. The court business of Cass is
almost twice as much as that ofOtce
and if the legislature contemplates
making any such change as prophesied
by the Independent, the chances are
that Cass, and not Otoe, will be setoff
into the single district.

An anti-kissing epidemic hasbroken
out in portions of this county. And
the Christian Advents predict the end
of the world soon. This epidemicmust
be the beginning of the end, for kiss
ing Is the tie that binds, the link that
connects, the one touch in nature that
makes the whole world kin, the sugar
that coats the pill. Eliminate the kiss
and the glory of a man's mustache
vanishes and the beauty of a woman's
lips fades away. The emack of a kiss
is the music that thrills two loving
hearts and brings the old man red-hot
to the front gate. The pucker of a
lady's mouth waiting for a kiss is one
of the sweetest and sublimest spec
tacles of the world. No, the anti
kissing fad will die a bornin'. It is in
dorsed by Holy Writ, sanctioned by
the ministers of the country, practiced
by the supreme .'court, court of oyer
and terminer, and probate and justice
courts and engraved in the constitu
tion of man. Let 'ergo. Falls City

Hythe way, is there another city in
the state with a mayor so young ?
The member of the house from Cass
who was elected from this city will
probably learn before the session is
over that he is not en rapport with the
ruling elemeut in the republican
party of Nebraska. It he has ordi
nary Intelligence, and we believe he
has, he may come to realize that hon
esty ami economy in atate affairs are
not the means for securing promotion
and that anything which btuacks of
reform or the punishment of rascality
is at a discount. The fact is, Mr.
Davies has been ingluriously sat down
upou at the inceptiou of the present
sessiou,and his experience and con
duct of the last session count rather
acainst him than in his favor. At the
former session he had a position on a
leading committee and his speech
looking to a reform of abuses in state
admiuistration was one ot the features
of the session, but this time the air
looks rather blue for him. Evidently
the Lincoln ring has spotted the gen
tleman from Cas and, unless he
has the metal to reseut such treat
ment, he will probably not l-e
heard from at the present session.
If he takes the course dictated by hi
judgment and conscience he will litnl
a widening gulf between himself and
his party and will land where every
man has landed heretofore who took
such & course outside his patt'
lines, or be defeated in all future aspi
rations by the corrupt gang which
rules tbat party . He has come to the
"parting of the ways." Will he tight
for reform, or join the gang ? That is
the question.
Jtuaicess men in a town are like men
in a boat; they must share the same
fate, as a rule, und to be successful
mast stand together. If they lose pub
lic spirit and hare no interest in
buildiag up the community, they w ill
stare disasters that are common to all
alike in the town. If theii town pros
pers und grows they wiil be able to
share in it; if it stands still or goe
backward, thir business all suffers.
Whatever tends to enhance public in
terests they are all Interested in pro
moticg. The breaking of an oarcna
boat that is buffeting the waves is a
disaster to all the boat's crew and pas
sengers. If a man fails in business it
hurts all other business men in the
town, whether the) be rivals or not.
Likewise the success of one buiines
helps every other. As an example:
The success of Conrad Ileisel'stlouring
mill is a help to every business in the
town. Let I'iattsmouth busine?smen
be true to each other give each other
"the touch of the elbow," as the soldier
say. Grocery men should not sell
other Hour at a higher price than the
home brand, on the pretense that it 1a
better than that made here (while they
know it Is not), because they can in
crease their profit, lie ch out after
new trade into wider fields by legiti
mate advertising in home papers, giv
ing the newspapers an inspiration to
build up greater circulations for their
papers, llelpyour neighbor in business
whenever you cannot help yourself,
and the town will be better for your
being in it.

"I don't understand," said a cigar
dealer, why so many smokers will al
ways pick out a cigar which is covered
with little yellow spots and leave the
clear ones. They cannot be any better,
neing made of the same tobacco. For
my smoking I would rather choose the
clear ones, for the spots on the former
are often made by reason of the ap
plication of some acid substance be
fore the goods pass into the hands of
the manufacturer. There are also racn
who always feel the large end of a
cigar in selecting one, and that Is
where they make a big mistake. They
should press the small end, and if it
yields rapidly to the touch, it will
draw freely. If not, take another
one."

K truest Mathews, the youth win
left his home In this city on Sunday
last to see the world, is again enrolled
as a regular boarder at the household
of his parents. The boy walked to
Union, a distance of fifteen miles, and
after sleeping in a hay sturk for two
nights and missing rations about ail
Of the time, concluded that this wns
truly a cruel world. This morning he
hoofed it back to riattsmouth, and
although it was cold and drearisome
on the way, he appeared right glad to
ba again able to toast his shins before
the fire at home and plant his feet be
neath his mother's dinner table. The
parents have naturally been worried
over the bov'a absence and they wel
comed his return about as gladly as
did the boy himself. It seems that
young Matthews had a companion in
his experience as a tramp, in the per
son of Joe Cochran, aged about four
teen, and that the two were together
on tl.eir trip. Young Cochren did not
fare so well as Matthews, for he is now
nursing several frozen toes, and it is a
grave question whether amputation
will be necessary or not. Joe thinks
that the next time he leaves home for
a tnpto the wild wrsl It will be Ju the

What
To our Friends and Patrons:
After due consideration.we have
decided to adopt the
Cash System
and on and after JAN. 1, 1895,
we will do no more crediting, ex
cept to those whose names are
now on our books and are very
prompt in meeting accounts.
We have tried the credit business
for nearly fifteen years and have
profitted but little thereby, the
most of our earnings being on
our books or lost by uncollected
accounts.
By selling for CASH we CAN and
WILL give our patrons the ben
efit of our gains and the advant
ages derived from getting spot
cash by selling them goods
Reduced Prices.
Of course we shall continue to
exchange goods for country pro
duce. Come in, get our prices
and see how far a dollar will go
these hard times.
