THE DAY'S DOINGS Interesting Bits of Information or "Journal" Headers. DONT WANT TO BE JUDGE. E. C. Wiley of Union Object to Being Dabbed a Possible Candidate One More Murder for Omaha Break a Kecord. Don't Want to be County Judge. C.E.Wiley of Union, whom The Journal mentioned last week as a possible candidate for the nomination for county judge on the republican ticket, writes to this paper an em phatic denial of the statement. Mr. Wiley gets quite wrathy at the "audac ity to conjure up such a false state ment." Continuing, he says: "As to the gentlemen who are aspirants to the position of county judge, 1 have the kindest feelings, and entertaiD toward them the warmest friendship in the great fraternity of brotherhood. I have no political strings on me, con sequently am bound to no political party, acknowledge no- creed but jus tice. The election this coming fall will not be a campaign of party strife and partisan policy, run in the inter ests of political hacks and a horde of office seekers, but the men who are likely to roll up a big majority of votes will be men, not of well approved po litical opinions, but men of well ap proved integrity, honesty, and whose intent of purpose of mind and heart will be for the welfare of friends, home and country." Another Murder at Omaha. Omaha will soon be enlivened with another murder trial. On Tuesday, shortly afternoon, Peter Volgreen, a Norwegian, shot and probably fatally wr.unded Augusta Matland, an em ploye of the Model steam laundry.

Recently the woman has been living with another man, and jealousy caused the deed to be com mitted. Broke the Record. From a paper published at Perris, Cal., it is learned that James Patter son, a former Plattsmouth man, and the eldest son of Hon. J. M. Patterson of this city, recently Iroke the century bicycle record for southern California. The paper says Jim had been training for about two weeks and was in the pink of condition. The hundred miles was covered in a trifle over six hours. The previous record for that distance was seven hours and fifty minutes, and Mr. Patterson's record will prob ably stand for some time.

Mr. McKinsey, the man who was killed in the accident at La Platte Wednesday afternoon, mention of which was made in these columns, was a brother-in-law of Mr. Doty, the well known resident of East Platts mouth. Mr. Doty says he has never seen Mr. McKinsey, although they lived only about ten miles apart.- Mr. McKinsey was a prominent farmer of La Platte, owning a valuable farm of about two hundred acres in that vicin ity. Mr. O'Jary, the other man who was injured in the accident, is re ported to be getting along very nicely. Evidently Has lleen "Seen." "There is one man in the political arena who is daily growing in favor and strength; and that is the farmer boy, Tom Williams, the popular Eight Mile Grove candidate for sheriff. They say every ward in Plattsmouth furnishes a candidate for this office, and the proper thing to do is to just sidetrack the whole caboodle and nom inate Tom Williams." Elmwood Echo. Judging from the above, the Echo man must have been "seen" by Mr Williams. Messrs. Eikenbary, Hyers and Ilolloway had better be getting Into the Echo's "band wagon" or they ?illbeleft. A young farmer named Strohm, liv ing near Randolph, received a sun stroke while returning from the har vest field. He was found three hours afterward and taken home. The doc tor fears he will die.

Now, of all the ills and curses, from the cradles to the hearses, the one we call the gossiper is certainly the worst. And in every community, at every op portunity, the vials of the slanderers they ne'er hesitate to burst. And their tongues are always clacking, though their stories have no backing, and they lie about their neighbors when their neighbors turn their backs. From the time the day is dawning they are lying, croaking fawning, and securing the aid of Satan, who will cover up their tracks. Of our moth ers, wives aud sisters they will talk their tongues to blisters, and to smirch a reputation gives to them a ghoulish glee. If they set a soul to aching or a heart succeed in breaking, they are Glled with happy feelings to a very great degree. The will tear the lids from coffin, for their blackened hearts ne'er soften, and they'll follaw suf fering woman to her last sleep in the grave, it the gossip e7er sees glory, 'twill be like the man in story, who sneaked past the golden portals by a mighty blamed close shave. Fremont Herald.

In the five-mile race yesterday at Shenandoah, Iowa, between Lee Alli son's crack running team and a bi cyclist named Thornton, the team was an easy winner. Thornton was paced the entire distance by several ery speedy riders, but the time was only six seconds better than that made on the track here last week in the five mile handicap race. Allison's team had a snap yesterday, and came un der the wire on a slow trot, about twenty feet ahead of Thornton. The time was 12:51, but the horses could have reduced that time considerably had it been necessary.' Those who went over from this city were Messrs. Harvey Ilolloway and Sam Patterson, on their wheels, and Lee Allison, Will Streight and Will Hy ers in a buggy. An Old Orcltrd. It was the pleasure of this reporter to pay a visit to the oldest orchard in Cass county recently and to note the fact that all the living trees or parts of trees were loaded down with fruit. This orchard is located on the east slope of a high bluff or hill facing the Missouri river a mile south of the vil lage of Rock Bluff. It was planted, so we were informed, by Colonel Pat terson, father of Fred Patterson, and an uncle of Hon. J. M. Patterson of this city, iu the spring of 1857, the owner bringing the young trees from Pennsylvania, and all the trees were tagged to indicate the kind of fruit they would bear, but these tags were lost before roost 6f them came into bearing, and as there is no simi lar fruit in this country the name is not known. A number of the trees still look young and vigorous and some of them will bear as high as thirty bushels on them. Among the trees are several of the old-fashioned Dam sen plums, loaded down with fruit. The trees show want of care, but the orchard is this year good for several hundred bushels of apples.
