THE NEW JUDGE.
Governor Mickey last week ap
pointed John 1J. Uaper of Paw-
not1 County Judge of the first dis
trict to lill the vacancy created
by the death of Judge Habcock.
'Phis appointment will meet with
the approbation of lawvers and
litigants throughout the dis
trict. Mr. Kaper is a" young man
of good ability and unswerving
integrity , lie will bring to the
office a capacity for work and
a disposition'of fairness born of
high characterAs one who has
known Mr. Raper for many years
we would congratulate tlie Gover
nor on his choice and predict for
Mr. Raper a long service in the
important and responsible posi
tion to .vhich he has been called.
The gloom .vhich prcvaded the
Journal office the morning follow
ing election was thick enough to
cut and resembled greatly the
gloom which prevaded the News
office at the same time and for
t the same cause. Two souls with
but a single thought. How long
Oh Lord , how long ? .
The new jury law is causing all
kinds of trouble. Nobody seems
able to understand it or reconcile
its various contradictor } sections.
The Attorney General says he
gives it up The district judges
can't agree and public business is
at a standstill until the supreme
court takes a guess at it.
And now for the good of the
itown. If you can't do something
? say something. We may not
strike oil , the division may be an
idle dream , present hopes may
> never reach fulfillment , but Falls
Chy iis too good a town not to
.advance. If you can't help ; don't
( hinder. Make yourself a factor
jn the developernent so sure to
, couui. Get in , the water's fine.
Senator Millard declines to be
anlem'ewed on his position with
reference to the Prejiulmt's policy
of railroad rates. Thus is the
lime for him to speakup. . The
position of his people is well

The candle. There are poor
families in Falls City who will
liSv Thanksgiving day in sullen
Umhappiness. There are children
in this city whose thanksgiving
dinner will be coarse and insufli
cient if you and I do nothing to
wards bettering it. The greai
brown smoking turkey on you
table will have a tlavor more de
Hcate if it is eaten in the trm
spirit of the day. Your afte
dinner perfecto will be more sat
isfying if in its curlingsmoke yo
see a table at which poor childro
are seated with faces happy i
anticipation of the good thins
which you have contributed t
wards buying for them , Won
it not be a fine thing if there w
not a hungry unsatisfied perse
in Falls City on Thanksgivii
day ? We have a board of cha
ties in Falls City composed
ladies and gentleman who \v
gladly take your contribution a
see to its proper expemlitu
Don't let it be said of you tl
you cannot understand the ti
spirit of Thanksgiving.
WHO HIT BILLY PATTERSON ?
Whats the use of all this spec
ulation ? We arc beaten , snowed
under , whipped within an inch of
our HyesLet it go at that.
Third term did it ? Maybe , but
Kiegcr and Stringlield were not
third tenners. Lack of organi
zation contributed in a measure
to the general result. Too many
Falls City candidates was also a
factor ; hut greater than all these
combined was the disloyalty of
that element which sent two of
the nine democratic members of
the legislature from this county
last year and worked over time
to defeat the entire tickek this
year. So what's the use ? Rich
ardson County on local affairs is
a democratic county. With the
vote as close as it is the bolting
element holds the balance of
power. For three years they
have used it to the discomfiture
of the party and the defeat of its
candidates. The republican tick
et this year wasone of the strong-
jest and cleanest ever nominated
by the parly. It .was composed
of young men of acknowledged
ability and unquestioned honesty.
.Still . it was defeated , the candi
dates humiliated and their ambi
tions destroyed. Why ? We
know by whom , but no man can
give you a valid reason why.
I Judge Paul Jcssen has declin
ed to accept the position lately
I made vacant by Tucker' resigna
tion. We are glad of itThe
j better element of the republican
i party could ill afford to lose
Jessen at this time. He has all
| the essentials for leadership and
i his loss would have btren a
| serious blow to the party in the
I state. Senator Hurkett asked for
| the appointment of Jewse Root of
I IMuttsmoHth after Jesse-n's refus
al but the President preferred to
appoint a man from the territory ,
giving the place to the United
States dbtrict attorney win * had

The election of Jerome in
York is one of the most signifi
cant fact of the recent election ,
lie was the candidate of no party.

A Will Without a Contest
The human mind is a peculiar instrument. The mind of a man
ustly adjudged insane by his fellowmcn will turn out veritable
nasterpieci's of poetry and literature now and again. The ways
ind means by which the unbalanced mental machinery accomplishes
it once such real wonders , and such wonderful mistakes , constitutes [
one of the most perplexing mysteries known to the scientific sttt-
lent ; a mystery , second only in intensity , strangness' and interest ,
to the mystery of life itself.
The following document ) a Will framed with such perfection of
rorm and detail that no Haw could be found in its legal phraseology
or matters , yet ' "devising" onlv those beauties and blessings which
the Great Father long ago devised to all human creatures , was
recently rescued from a large collection of other legal but less inter
esting papers
It was written bv Charles F ounsbury , a Chicago lawyer of
much skill at one period of his existence , but who died an itisane
patient in the Cook county asylum at Dunning. This strange will
lias only just reached its resting place in the vaults of a Chicago
Trust Company.
Heing composed so perfectly it was duly sent , after the writer's
lemise , to tlie Probate Court. There being nothing to probate ,
liowever , since the poetic devisor died absolutely destitute and pen
niless , it was merely placed on file. The document is now given
for the sake of its intrinsic beauty and peculiar interest :
A KRMAKKAUMO WILL.
I , Charles Louiisburv , being of sound and disposing mind and
memory , do hereby make and publish this , my last Will and Testa
ment , in order , as justly as may be , to distribute my interest in tlie
world among succeeding men. That part of my interest which is
known in law and recognized inshcepbound volumes as my property
being inconsiderable and of no account. 1 make no disposal of in
this my will. My right to live being but a life estate , is not at my
disposal , but these things excepted , all else in the world 1 now pro
ceed to devise and bequeath.
I give good fathers and mothers , in trust for their children , all
good little words of praise and encouragement , and all quaint , pet
names and endearments , and I charge said parents t > use them
justly but generously , as the needs of their children shall require.
I leave to children exclusively , but only for the tenw of their
childhood , all and every , the flowers of the field , , and the Prfbssorns
of the woo3 * , with a right to play among them1 freely , accorilirrg to
the custom of the children , warning them at the same time wjjainat
the thistles attd the thorns. And I devise to the children the Hxi'iiks '
of the brooks ami the golden sands beneath the waters thereof , , anel
the odors of the willows that dip therein , and the white clouds llat
float high over tPse giant trees. And E leave the children the long , .
long days to be merry fn a thousand ways , and the-night and five
moon , and the train1 of the-milky way to wonder atr , . but subject
nevertheless , to the plights- hereinafter giwn to lovers.
I devise to boys iumtly , all of the ubtrftil , idle fie : .is and com- ;
