PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT. Joha Ramsey was in town yesterday and says people are bantering him about being a candidate for sheriff He says be is not a candidate, but if they run him and don't elect him he'll kill somebody, sure. He says "tell the people I'm for Bryan and free coinage, that's all." A Nebraska City man was run in by the police the other night for "rushing the growler" at that city. It cost him two dollars and trimmings the next morning. The Falls City Xews says: "It quite refreshing to know that there not an idle carpenter or builder in the city. They are engaged either upon constructing new buildings or re modeling old ones. This enterprise is not only commendable but is an ad vertisement that is of inestimable value to the whole city. Of late years there has been some progress in the holy land; there are railways now where the patriarchs used to watch their, flocks, or where their hired men watched them, and and the voice of the brakeman may be heard at Dan and Beersheba. There are lunch counters at the depot, just as in this country, and Asa, the son of Shem, the son of Joshua, may be seen girding up his loins and handing oyer vitrified sandwiches, while Ruth and Naomi wash dishes in the rear. There is progress in every direction, except in agriculture; a Fremont traveler who has been there says that is painful to watch the farmer farm. He doesn't know what a riding plow is; he hitches an ox or a camel to a stick, and plows the ground that way. If he has a crop, he harvests it with a sickel; if he hasn't a crop he goes to the wailing place and buys a few yards of sack cloth and ashes. A big farm there wouldn't be a truck patch here. Walt Mason in Fremont Herald. This town i3 so situated that when ever the people want a rain, all that is necesssry is to wish for one, and it is sure to come. Another nice one this morning. Moral: Locate in Plattsmouth. The packing company have shipped within the past week over a million pounds of meat to Chicago. Last week fourteen cars were shipped and today eleven more cars were paid out. This is very fair for "a sleepy old town" like Nebraska City, as some of the papers published in sister towns who are jealous of our prosperity, call us. Nebraska City News. Frank N. Potter, formerly of this city, has recently purchased a half-interest in the Spearfish (South Dakota) Weekly Register, and the firm name is now Potter & Grant. The paper is bright and newsy and enjoys a very liberal advertisingpatronage, showing that the merchants of Spearfish are wideawake and enterprising. The Journal congratulates Messrs. Potter & Grant and wishes them every suc cess. W. G. Keefer, the harness man, says he has been moving about from pillar to post in the effort to secure a better place, but now he has come back to Plattsmouth, fully satisfied that there is no better county than Cass to live in or to do business in, and he has opened up his business here and is go ing to stay in Plattsmouth through thick and thin. He says people gen erally don't appreciate the magnificent county we have here, as compared with others, but he does, and shows his faith by his works. A party of eighty land agents, under the guidance of Assistant General Passenger Agent Smith, who are from the middle states, went out on the Burlington via Plattsmouth yesterday to see the crops and ascertain for themselves what the trans-Missouri region is producing this year. World- Herald. Nehawka is securing lots of adver tising of late. First comes a boy from there accused of unmentionable of fense, and is sent to the reform school, next the republican convention is lo cated there, and now the report is that one of her young men attempts the commission ox a criminal assault on a woman. Next I An exchange in discussing the rights of owners of vehicles on the road, calls, attention to a point not seemingly understood or observed, as follows: When you are driving along and a team comes up behind don't imagine he has no right to go ahead without your permission is asked, and don't imagine you are justified in whipping up and crowding the team attempting to go around out on the rough, or into the ditch. You perhaps have the right to race with the party attempting to go around, but you must give half the road or you will pay the damages in case of accident. Ihe road does not belong to any one man, and the man who comes up behind you perhaps knows the gait he wants to travel as well as you ao. n ne wants to travel faster than you do he had a right to go ahead, and If you prevent him from exercising that right you are liable for prosecution for ob structing the public highway. The Journal has it from authority that if the county fair association will repair its pens properly, puttting cov ers over them, they can secure a dis play of the best hogs in the county. Hog raisers want good pens for their stock or they will not bring them. Mrs. Eva Huff, while in a fit of des pondency, Monday morning com mitied suicide at Omaha by turning on the gas in her room. Arch L. Coleman, the court house clock repairer takes exception to the gentle "roast" in last evening's paper about not keeping the clock in repair. He said that he had not been notified about the clock not striking, or he would have attended to it at once. He further stated that it was impossible to keep the time-piece in good running order so long as people were allowed to go up in the tower and meddle with the clock works, as some do almost every week. The Nehawkaites will no doubt wel come the natismoum repuoncans with a salvo of artillery using that cannon captured from the enemy. John Meisinger, the implement dealer, lies very ill of typhoid-pneu monia at his residence, 613 Granite street. His father and motner, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Meisinger of Eight Mile Grove precinct, have teen in al most constant attendance upon him for a week. His symptoms are slightly improved today. Woe unto the forward hen who counteth her chickens before they are hatched. Scripture. This maledic tion is commended to the man on the Nebraska City Press who "hollered be fore he got out of the woods" on that turn-table question. The cuckoos of York and Gage coun ties have captured the county commit tees and elected delegates to the rump state convention. The democrats have also called conventions and will be represented in the regular conven tion. Governor Holcomb has received an invitation from the war department for himself and staff to. attend the ceremonies at tne opening or me national park at Chattanooga, on Sep tember 19 and 20. The survivors of the battle will meet on the ground, and the governor is authorized to ask the old soldiers of Nebraska to par ticipate. With the papers filed in the'supreme court Monday was the pistol with which George D. Williams killed Chas. A. Smiley in Jefferson county on Aug ust 20, 1S94. Mr. Williams, who is now serving a term in the penitentiary for this crime, files a petition in error, in which he claims that one of the jurymen who tooK part in nis iriai was not sworn. Williams makes afii- davit that he has no means of paying the cost of the suit. The early counties of Nebraska were named after noted democratic leaders of that day, all the territorial officials up to 1860 being democrats. The legislatnre afterwards changed a number of counties made during that period. Pierce county was changed to Otoe, Forney county to Nemaha, Green county to Seward, Izard county to Stanton, Jones county to Jefferson, Monroe county to Platte. Lancaster county was formerly called Clay county and Saunders was originally named Calhoun county. Ex. A liuslness Enlargement. The clothing house known as Joe's, at the opera house corner, has during this week been undergoing a change, Mr. Frank Alshuler, an experienced merchant late of La Salle, 111., having bought the Klein interest in the stock, and the new firm will hereafter be fa miliarly known under the style of Joe & Frank, and they propose to sell lots of goods, because they know how and where to buy, and will have the best that the markets aiford, and can sell at the lowest prices. The enlargement of this firm is one of the evidence of the new life and vigor that is springing up in this city. Mr. Alshuler will de part in a few days on a purchasing tour to the east, and while gone will select a large stock of the best and most attractive grades in clothing to be found in the markets. Good for tune attend the new firm. List of Letters Remaining unclaimed in the postoffice at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, August 14: Bernest, Hattie Ilughly.

Kevolt In Iowa Democratic Itanka Over . Ihe 1'lat form Reports from various points in Iowa iudicate a formidable revolt against the auti-silver platform adopted by the democratic state convention at Mar shalltown last week. It is believed by some observers that many democrats will vote the populist ticket and that others will not vote at all. At Council Bluffs two members of the county com mittee, among them W. II. Ware, rep resentative in the legislature, have resigned their positions, refusing to act with the party under the circumstan ces, declaring they will not act with any other party, and it is thought that the entire committee will resign. Among the most outspoken of the disaffected ones is Judge W. C. James, who points with pride to a voting record of over forty year.-, in which thers is not a single instance when he failed to vote the democratic ticket. Interviewed he said: "If the declara tions of the Marshalitown convention are true then we have been misrep resenting, abusing and lying about the republican party ever since 1S79. This financial declaration is identical with the principles of the. republican party as laid down in every state convention since the crime of 1873. There is no difference today between the two par ties, and as the republicans have always been consistent on this subject the acknowledgment of the Iowa demo crats that their antagonists are right gives them a tremendous advantage, and I will watch them win another great victory in Iowa this fall without any sorrow. I do not say I will vote the republican ticket, but only that I will not the democratic, and as I am not a populist and have no patience with their vagaries, I will do what a great majority of thedemocrats aiound here will do not vote at all. There were 125 federal office holders in that state convention, and nearly all of them were there by proxy. They rep resented Cleveland am! his irt.M buts, and not the democratic party of Iowa." J. J. Shea, chairman of the demo cratic free silver committee and last year candidate for clerk of he supreme court on the democratic st te ticket, is out in an open letter, in which he charges the. federal officeholders in the convention with nil sorts of threats, bulldozing, cajolery and bribery in de feating the free silver amendment. He advises democrats not to halt, but to keep up the fiht. In conclusion he says: "Next yeat we must meet the same foe, the same men, the same organization. Then it will be a fight to the death. Either the serpent or the party must die. I have an abiding faith in the death of the suak-; that people will again assume control and that the self-appointed bosses will be relegated to deserved obscurity. . Until then the duty of a good democrat is to wait, watch, to organize, to overthrow and rebuke the gang now in control." Democratic County CiiiiTruiioii There will b a delegate convention of the democrat, party of Cass county, held at Union on Tuesday, August 2U, 1895, at 1 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of choosing twenty-one delegates to the democratic state convention to be held in Omaha, Nebraska, on August 22, 1895, and to choose delegates to the judicial convention to be called. The primaries will be held in the different waida and precincts at the usual places, on Saturday, August 17, 1893, at 8 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of choosing delegates to the conven tion at Union and also to choose dele gates to a county nominating conven tion to be called later. The basis of representation is one delegate for each twenty votes, or major fraction thereof cast for Harvey D. Travis for county attorney in 1894, this basis to govern each convention. It is recommended that the delegates present cast the full vote of the ward or precinct and no proxies be allowed. The different wards and precincts are entitled to delegates as follows: Plattsmouth City, 1st ward 4 Klmwood . 6 South Bend 3 Second ward 8; Weeping Water 2 Third ward 8 Center 5 Louisville 5 Fourth ward 6 Fifth ward 3 Weeping Water City First ward 1 Second ward 1 Third ward 1 Tipton 5 Greenwood 8 Salt Creek 5 Stove Creek 5 Eight Mile Grove.... 6 Avoca 5 Nehawka 3 Mt.

Dresses for dollle, of blue and red, Stitches her troubles all in between. Fastens the blue to the red and green ! Says she Is weary and weak and tired , But has no money to get them hired. Why is she smiling while tears drop down Onto the snow of her misty gown ? Can she be stitching the smiles in too, And the tears, as the dart travels through? The Mush that runs over brow and cheek Plays with the needle at hide and reek. What is she stitching into the seams? Gossamer threads from the land of dreams What? in the gathers and plaits and hems, Rainbows raveled from radiant gems. What is she frilling with laces fine? Tinier garments than yours or wine. What is t-he stitching so sadly there? Can it be something that she must wear? Something as sombre as grief and pain. Guiltless of r utile; severe and plain. What is she stitching along the black But the hope that Mill never come back? Her task is finished and others sew There in the twilight silent and slow. Stitch h r a garment of peace and est To hide the snow of her pulseless breast; Threading a story of unseen lands Into the gathers and plaits and bands. Isabel Kiohbt.
