The publishers of TnE Jouunal
know that they are printing the very
best county newspaper in Nebraska,
and from the many compliments re
cently received and the rapid growth
in circulation, they are convinced that
the public is also aware of this fact.
Everyone at present takes a greater
amount of interest in the news ef the
war than in anything else, and in this
line TnE Joukxal stands unparal-
elled in this county at least. It gives
not only all of the telegraphic news
up to the hour of going to press, but
its letters from Cass county boys who
are at the front are the best that have
appeared ia any paper in Nebraska
Ed Spencer's letters describing camp
life at Chickamauga are worthy of a
trained newspaper man, and have been
read with interest by all who have
been fortunate enough to see them.
Guy Livingston is a writer of exper
ience and ability. He is especially
strong on descriptions, and will in the
future be a regular correspondent for
Toe Joukxal. His accounts of his
ocean voyage and of what he sees in
the far away Philippines cannot help
being read with the keenest interest
by everyone.
Charles Grimes is a newspaper cor
respondent who has for years written
for Chicago and Omaha papers as well
as for The Jourval. He is a ser
geant in company Ii, Third regiment.
and the doings of that body of soldiers
will be faithfully recorded in this
paper.
Besides thH, The Journ al will
have letters from Cass county boys in
the cavalry and navy, thus telling its
readers all about tho war, in the lan
guage of people well known and prob
ably dear to them, and keeping them
specially informed of the movements
and condition of the gallant boys from
this county.
The Joukxal is published twice a
week, making it almost as good a
news medium as a daily, and the price
is only 1 a year in advance. If you
appreciate the enterprise and efforts of
the publishers, do them what good you
can by speaking to your neighbors of
the superiority of The Journal and
asking them to subscribe. The circu
lation of this paper should be double
what it is. Will you help us to make
it so?
The fact that silver bullion took on
a boom as soon as Spain began buying
it to coin into money has completely
shattered the theory of Morton and the
other gold-worshippers, who have held
that supply and demand had nothing
to do with the price of that metal-
that gold was steadfast in value, not
because of the operation of the free
mintage laws of Europe and America,
but simply because of natural selection.
Hereafter they must admit that to
create a steady market price for silver
bullion all that is necessary is to open
the mints to its free coinage at a com
mon ratio. The doctrine of the gold
bugs is like a sieve, it will not hold
water.

preferring to let the future lake care of

who know Vandervoort to see that he

the doom of the parly would have been
sealed.
Foil the Orst time in their history
the World-Herald and Bee are on the
same side of a question. They are
both opposed to imperialism, or the ac
quisition of foreign possessions by this
government. It is altogether probable,
however, that the editors of both
papers feel like bolting the policy
whenever the opposition sheet is read.
The populist national committee,
which held a meeting in Omaha last
week, refused to commit the party to
the policy of the ''middle of the road"

On Wednesday evening, the 22d inst.
about sixty friends assemoled at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. I). J. Pitman,
south of Murray, to witness the mar
riage of their daughter, Adda, to Mr.
Glen Terry of Eight Mile Grove. Rev.
J. I). Oldham of the United Presby
terian church performed the ceremony.
Miss Ethel Ferry, sister of the groom.
actad as bridesmaid and Mr. Charles
Spangler as best man.
After congratulations the guests
were led to the diningrooni, which was
beautifully decorated with ferns, smi
lax and rois, and there was served a
sumptuous weddiag supper.
The briJ was a4li0td in a bcautifal
white orgaaaie, while the grom wore
the conventional black.
The presents were many and beauti
ful, among them being two bedroom
suits, a rocking chair, center table and
many pieces of silverware.
The newly weeded couple departed
on the Missouri Pacific to visit friends
in Omaha and Lincoln. At the latter
place a reception will be tendered
them.
Mr. Perry is one of Cass county's
most popular young nien, and is the
sou of Peter Perry, now of Lincoln,
and formerly of Eight Mile Grove
Ilis bride is a most estimable young
young lady, and both are fully deserv
ing of the scores of friends whom thev
can number, and with whom The
Journal joins ia offering eicceie
congratulations.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry will reside for
the present on the farm of the for
mer's iu Eight Mile Grove precinct.
Itnniitiig-Morrow.
At high noon Wednesday, at the-l
home of the bride's pareBts, Mr. and
Mrs. William Morrow, in this city,
were pronounced the words which
united for life Mr. Charles Banning
and Miss Efiie Morrow. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Chamberlain
of London, Neb., in the presence of
quite a number of relatives and inti
mate friends of the 'contracting par
ties. After the usual congratulations the
company sat down to a most sumptu
ous wedding feast, which, it is need
less to say, was done full justice.
Mr. Banning, who resides at Ne-
hawka, is one of the best known and
most popular young gentlemen in the
county, having been born and reared
here. His bride is also a native of
Cass county and her winsome manners
and kindly disposition have made her
a host of friends who will wish the
young couple all the joy that could
possibly be theirs, and in these wishes
The Joukxal most heartily joins.
Mr. and Mrs. Banning will make
their home at Nehawka.

Assaulted the Operator.
The tramp nuisance does not seem
to have abated to any great extent in
this city. On Tuesday night a couple
of colored bums made a vicious attack
upon Mason, the night operator at the
Mo. P. depot. Mr. Mason had been
down town, and upon returning found
the two thugs on the platform. Notic
ing that a keg of liquor which was also
there appeared to have been tapped,
he remonstrated with the men, when
oao of then suddenly assaulted him
with a large knife, severely cutting
two of his fingers, and nearly severing
one of them. Mr. Mason immediately
came down tewn and notified Officer
Murray, who in company with Night
Watchman Hassan and some volun
teers set 'out at once to look for the
culprits, but they were unable to locate
them.

truth at
that was
Dan Evans has told the
least once in his life and
about half past 11 o'clock Wednesday
forenoon, when he declared in a loud
and emphatic voice that Company B
was all right.
It may be that Daniel wis not very
Bincere in hia declaration, for It is
certain that ureat pressure was brought
to bear upon him to cause him to alter
his opinion about the u.atter, but be
that as it may. the fact remaius that
he did make the truthful statement
that t tie company was "all right,"
which was directly opposite to what
he had f oi nierly said . And this is how
he happened to change his mind: You
sre, i-.vans is one ot tiiose lenows who
has always been impressed with the
idea that what he didn't know was
scarcely worth bothering about and
has also carried about with him a
reputation for being of a very quairel-
sotne and overbearing disposition. He
has been living in this county for
yrars. working part of the time in the
quarries at Cedar Creek and part of
the time with a threshing machine
gang. Some days ago he joined Com
pany B, but he doesn't belong to it any
more, although he passed a satisfac
tory physical examination. Danny
said that he was an ex-member of the
regular army and that he knew more
about tactics than the whole company,
officers included, lie refused to go
out with the boys to drill, and when
spoken to on the matter by the officers,
he abused them in the most scandalous
manner. In behalf of hi command
ing general, B. L. Zebub, he invited
them to visit that place where it is
said there is a ' hot time" every night,
bis language and conduct being sueh
as to cause his dismissal from theM
pany by Captain Sheldon.
After this, Evans became even
worse than before. He cussed and
blackguarded the whole company from
captain down. He referred to the
men as hoodlums, bums and hob(3,
and intimated that their maternal an
cestors were of that species of domes
tic animals most frequently aillicted
with tleas. Now, the Cass county sol
diers have a sincere regard for the
truth, and they knew that when Dan
iel made these statements, he was pro
mulgating reports which had no foun
dation in fact, so they proposed to
make him tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth for
once in r-is life anyhow and he did it.
At the conclusion of drill Wednes
day, Evans was located by nearly a
hundred of the boys at Fourth and
Main streets. He was quickly sur
rounded and seized by the indignant
company, and a 2x8 plank being pro
duced, he was placed astride and car
ried down Main street at a lively gait.
It might be well to remark in passing
Itbat the two-inch side of the plank
formed the saddle and that the steed
f vvas of the ''bucking broncho" variety,
aTguently Bhooting the rider two or
three feet into the air. But he held
on bravely or, to speak more cor
reqbly, was held on by the members of
Crushed a Foot.
Albert Reinhackle, an employe of
the freight car repair department of
the Burlington shops, sustained a very

He, with three other men, was carry
ing a heavy timber, when it was by ac
cident let fall, striking him on the
right foot, crushing that member in a
frightful manner and breaking two of
his toes. He was immediately taken
to medical headquarters and hia injur
ies attsnded to, but it will be many
days before he can resume work.
thj company until the Burlington
deft'was reached, where, after being
tossed up a number of times and
caught as he came down, upon the
rather uncomfortable Baddle, he was
allowed to alight. By that time his
ideas had undergone a wonderful
change, and it was then that he de
clared that company B was all right.
This sentiment was cheered right lus
tily by the boys, as indeed was the
whole ceremony. At its conclusion
Evans was started down the railroad
track and told to get out of town as
fast as his legs could carry him, and
although the command was nofgiven
by an officer, as there were none of
them present, it was quickly and gladly
obeyed, and be was soon lost to sight.
The men then assembled in front of
TnE Jouunal office, where the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously
passed:
Heakqcakters )
dxpint B, TniRD Nebraska. Volcnteehs, ,
Plattsmoutu, Neb., June 22. )
Rssolved, That we, the members of Co. 13,
hereby condemn the action of Private Evans as
uDsoldierly. and uphold our captain and lieu
tenants in the action thev took in dismissing
aid Private Evans from Co. B.
Resolved, That we at all times favor strict
obedience to our superiors, and condemn any
action that will reflect on a soldier.
Reslvzd, That a copy of the above resolu
tions be furnished the city papers for publica
tion. In the afternoon some of the sol
diers went dwd to the river to bathe,
and fouud Evans biding in the brush.
He asked if be. might be allowed to
come to the city and get bis clothes,
and was informed that he would not
be molested. He waited until he
thought the boys were out drilling, and
coming up town, proceeded to the of
fice of Justice Archer, where he
wanted to swear out a warrant for the
whole company, charging them with
assault. The judge told him the best
thing he could do would be to keep out
of the way of the volunteers. After
thinking the matter over, Evans came
to the same conclusion and proceeded
to the Perkins house, where he se
cured his clothes and started up the
street. But the company bad re
turned from drill by this time, and a
squad proposed to see that the ex-soldier
got out of town surely and expe
ditiously. With this object in view
they escorted him up Main street as
far as Sixth, when they were met by
Sheriff Wheeler, and told to carry the
matter no further. They accordingly
returned to the hotel, and Evans
wended bis way to the Missouri Pa
cific depot, and has not since been
seen.
The action of the men in doing as
they did has been commended by
everyone, and all say that Evans got
only what he richly deserved.
