Wanted to Keep Simmons.
The Nebraska City authorities arp
evidently claiming all the credit for
the capture of Forger Simmons at that
place. Saturday afternoon, when Poat
mater Fox and Deputy Sheriff Hyers
went down there after the prisoner,
the sheriff of Otoe county refused to
tfive him up. no doubt expecting a re
ward. Later in the evening a deputy
United States marshal from Omaha
arrived and took Simmons to that city,
where he will be tried in the federal
curt.
sr Simmons was in the postollice at
"Vbraska City Friday afternoon, try-
r to cash a money oruer ior $iuu,
hen Postmaster Fox ot tLis city tele
phoned the postmaster to have the
man arrested.
It is reported that when the deputy
marshal informed the Otoe oflieial
that unless he turned the prisoner over
to him at once, he would takebim also,
that county official lost his appetite
for reward.

A telegram was received by relatives
here Sunday from Kansas City an
nouncing the death of Prof. U. V.
Wise, of that place, from natural
causes. Deceased will be reinemttred
by all old residents of this county, hav

to about fifteen years ago. While here

and served as county superintendent
for several years. He was a brother
of J. X. Wise of this city and of
Parker Wise, now deceased, formerly
residing here. He was an active mem
ber of the Baptist church, and a de-
i i vout unrisiian.

the scene last Monday cf a very pleas
ant wedding, the participants being
Mr. John Kollasek and Miss Mary
Kalina, Rev. Father Borr officiating.
Both parties are well known and
highly respected young Bohemians of
this city, the groom being a cigarmaker
employed in Julius Pepperberg's fac
tory. After the ceremony a sumptu
ous wedding feast was served at the
home of Mr. Kollasek. The happy
couple departed in the afternoon for a
brief honeymoon visit at Albia, Neb.,
where thebriders parents reside. Tiie

The Nebraska City Press of last Sat
urday contains the following in regard
to the man who forged the money
order here:
The story of J. X. Simmons, the
noney order forger is indeed a sad
e. Receiving the appointment of
postmastership at Bell, la., which

i pays the enormous sum of $5 per
- month he was tmpted by destitute
circumstances to apply some of the
government money to his personal
needs, expecting to repay itsoon. The
sum soon reached $150, and as he had
sent in a correct report but failed to
send the money, he realized that it was
only a question of a short time when
the officers would swoop down on him.
He selected the method exposed in
another column to realize enough
i money to get out of the country on.
His family is in destitute circum
stances and the office has been con
ducted by his fifteen-year old daugh
ter. His wife i3 almost. ready to be
coiifined and three small children are
crying for food. It is indeed a pitiful
story."
A Big Loss .
That there is some risk in raising
tine hogs as well as the common varie-
ties is illustrated by the fact that
. Robert Young of Mt. Pleasant precinct
lost eighty head recently by cholera,
e aggregate value of which was fully
V 1,500. They were all high-bred, pedi
greed hogs of the best Poland-China
strain, and their loss was severely felt
by their hard-working owner.
A Killing Front.
The first severe frost of the season
appeared Monday morning, ice being
formed in many places. It came too
late to injure the crops to any great
extent. Tomato vines and melons
were about the only products that
suffered, and they had been mostly
gathered. It is very unusual for frost
to come so late in the season in this
climate.

A good way to test a swindling
scheme is to offer a non-negotiable
note. When the time comes for sign

"or bearer," which always follows the

name of the one to whom the note is
given. Make tne note payame to mm,

Fruit Culture in Cmss County.
The experience of every person who
has given the matter intelligent at
tention demonstrates that there is no
industry in this section of the coun
try which has produced as abundant
rewards for labor and investment as
fruit culture on the highlands border
ing on the Missouri river in this
county. All the uplands along the
river, the Platte and on other streams
and upon every hillside, are peculiarly
adapted to fruit-growing. The soil
and the subsoil is such as feeds the
trees and plants and gives them hardi
ness and Gne flavor to the fruit.

Weeping Water valley, and there are
several thousand acres which are
especially adapted to this business,
and it can be bought for $15 to $40 an
acre. If the fruit business once takes
a hold on this community, this same
land will be worth three to ten times
those figures in a few years. The

find no more pleasurable or profitable

The Murdock Columbian evidently
doesn't relish the idea of the Platts-
mouth republicans capturing nearly
all the nominations at the recent
county convention of that party.
Listen to the following bit of sarcasm
from the Columbian:
"You candidates who have aspira
tions to office in the future had better
make application at headquarters; but
if you are not of Plattsmouth city you
had better learn if the dictators want
the office or not, if not you may stand
some show. The arrangement is grand
for the voter of Cass county. By the
new order you will be told how to vote,
but there is still room for improve
ment. We think in a short time that
it will not be necessary to spend the
time to go to the polls as we can send

Bill Xye and a friend were one day
traveling by rail through the south
and were looking out at the country
they passed. Suddenly a razor-back
hog of the most pronounced type burst
outofthe bushes beside the road, ran
along a little way and disappeared.
In a little while another hog did the
same thing. Xye saw them. "John,
said he to his friend, "there goes the
other half of that hog." You'll hear
any number of those "razor-back" hog
stories when you go down to the
Atlanta exposition. The one that is
really the best is about the northern

"Oh, no," said the native. "He's

The Union Ledger, in speaking of
the recent jail delivery here, adds the
the following, which is the sentiment
of every fair-minded citizen of the
county: "Prisoners usually escape
from that jail when they get tired of
staying, and yet it is said that the
jail is good enough. What the county
needs is a jail near the court house
that will hold boys, at least. Under
the present arrangement it would he
almost as well and save expense to the
county to send prisoners'down here
and confine them in Lynn's pasture."

That Apple Carnival.
The county of Mills in the state of
Iowa had already been advertised from
one end of the land to the other as a
famous apple producer, but the carni
val which the people of that county
held at Glenwood Friday will add
much to her reputation not only as a
people of orchardists, but for their
large-hearted hospitality and enter
prise. Glenwood was arrayed in her
best attire to receive the thousands
who came to see her, and everywhere
the apple was iu evidence, from the
time the stranger leached the depot
tiil he had seen the humblest cottage
in the town. Everything, houses,
show windows, porches, fences, were
decorated with apples, and very beau
tifully, and with fine artistic taste, too.
At each gateway of the public square
beautiful arches had been erected and
handsomely decorated with fruit, while
in every business front apples galore
were in evideuce. Even box-elder
shade trees in the court house yard
appeared to be bearing loads of fruit.
A temporary building had been
erected in the square, apparently built
out of fruit, in which a special display
of apples such as had borne off the
prize at the state fair, was made. As
usual, J. W. Murphy was in charge of
this, and he w as in his element.
The exercises were inaugurated by a
season of prayer and praise to the
(ireat Giver of good for the bounties
of the year, and then afterdinner such
of the guests as preferred were driven
through several of the big orchards.
The whole affair was admirably
managed and will doubtless redound
to the benefit of the community which
has shown its faith in fruitgrowing to
a larger extent than any other in the
west.
The Plattsmouth contingent which
staid for the special train got home
about 9:30 o'clock, after waiting two
hours and a half at Pacific Junction.

Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleediugof the lower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
totbe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Files. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
