bat probably the most silly one yt is
reported to be going the rounds in
0:oe county. It is said that a state
ment is being made by ctrtaiu repub
lican political boot-ledgers in our
neighboring county that JudelJ. S.
Ivdiusey, the democratic candidate tor ;
judge of the siinti judicial district,
was ''not a lawyer w hen first elected
county jude of this county,'" and
that he '"had never been admitted to
the bar!'
Tiiat storj- will, of course, be resid
ed as u hns joke by everyone who
knows or ever heard of Mr. KaUK-ey,
he has the w ell-earned reputation o:
being one of the very ablest jurists
who ever xresided in a county court in
the state. However, that this cam
pai;:u lie may appear all the uiort
ridiculous, and for the benefit -of any
Otoe county voter who may be bam
boozled into believing such rot, a
Joukxal reporter took the pains to
kK'k up the records in the matter. On

Another chapter has been added to
the assault and battery case of the
state vs. Wm. A. Rose, tried before a
jury in Justice Archer's court last Sat
urday. The jury found the defend
ant guilty, as charged, and he was
fined one dollar and costs, which
amounted to a con-iderable sum, as a
number of witnesses had been sub
poenaed. Monday Matthew Goring, as attor
ney for Wm. I. Smoots, the man whom
Rose assaulted, filed a suit for $2,000
damages against the latter. The pe
tition claims that Smoots' nose was
broken and that he was internsilly in
jured from kicks delivered by Rose,
aud that he was unable to attend to
his labors for some two months. The
assault is alleged to have been unpro
voked. Why Not Iluiiri a Sugar Factory?
Herman Strietweiser. the well
known farmer, living near the B. & M.
bridge, raised eight tons of sugar
beets this year on one-eighth of an
acre of ground. Mr. Strietweiser says
that this county is especially adapted
to sugar beet raising, and that indus
try could be made a very profitable
one here. If outside capital could not
be secured, a few of our prosperous
farmers could erect a sugar factory
in thiscity and it would certairdy be a
paying investment. While beet sugar
factories are being built all over the
state. Piattsmouth "should receive fa
vorable consideration.

A Few Word to the Point.
J. P. Falter, democratic candidate
for county commissioner of this dis
trict, was the assessor of the precint in
1S00, '!1 and "92. The manner in
which he assessed the precinct may be
discovered by an examination of the
records in the court house. The state
ment, made by some republican, who
did not know what he was talking
about, that Mr. Falter was unfair in
regard to the railroad bridge, is not
true. He did what was right and just
and did not assess the bridge as low as
some other assessors. He used his
best judgment, and no more can be
asked of any man. He was just, both
to the people and to the railroad. Mr.
Falter is a young man of more than
ordinary ability, having a good educa
tion, both in German and English.
He writes and reads German very
readily and is just the man who ought
to be commissioner of this district.
There is a largt German population
within and adjacent to Piattsmouth
and within Cass county, some of whom
neither read or write English. The
Germans have a right to ask of the
democrats that Mr. Falter be elected
to this office. Some people, for want
of a better and more forcible objec
tion, say that he ought to reside in
town. Now, Mr. Falter lives near
Piattsmouth and will be here during
business hours of every day that it is
necessary for him to be here, and, if
the business requires it, he is able to,
and will, rent a house in Piattsmouth
and live in it. He is a good account
ant and will, if elected, be at least as
competent as any member of the board.
Mr. Falter mad s the race last year
and was defeated, along with the rest
of the party ticket, but this year he
will not be defeated. No one has
heard any complaint, but he is iu the
race to win and no poor man, or rich
man, for that matter, can make any
objection to him, other than that he is
a democrat. Elect him and you will
not be sorry for it.
A ska Leave to Sell.
Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, widow and
executrix of the late John Fitzgerald,
of Lincoln, has applied to the district
court for leave to sell the real estate
to pay off the debts owing by the es
tate. The schedule of real property
owned by the estate, filed with the ap
plication, places the value of the Whole
at $1,2jS,000. The application is made
on the ground that there is not enough
personal property to pay the debts.
