C. A. Wooeley was called upon by
parties interested in the welfare of Tar
nov to go up there Wednesday, to take
a hand in straightening out the illegal
sale of liquor. We are informed that
for several years this ilegal sale has
been going on there (as, we learn it is in
several other communities in the coun

to put a stop to it. Our information is
that several suits were instituted, aud
when it was seen that there was a deter
mination to enforce the law, an agree
ment was arrived at that it is hoped
will be satisfactory to law-abiding citi
zens of Tarnov and vicinity.
Many Nebraska readers of The
Journal were acquainted with Mrs.
Nancy Dewey, who died at her home in
Cadiz, Ohio, September C, after a short
illness. She was married in 1823 to
Cbauncey Dewey, then a young lawyer,
afterwards prominent banker of Cadiz,
and who with his sons had large inter
ests in the west. To them were born
ten children, four of whom survive their
mother, OrvilleC. of Wheeling, Charles
and Albert of Chicago, and Mrs. C. M.
Hogg of Cadiz. Mrs. Dewey was a
daughter of John and Sarah Pritchard,
was born near Uniontown, Pa., October
27, 1804, and came to Cadiz with her
parents in 1807. "Her life." says the
Cadiz Republican, "practically began
and ended with the nineteenth century.
The world has produced only a few such
women."
Last Wednesday evening Mr. Val
entine Weaver and Miss Effie Beardsley

most faithful worker. Miss Beardsley
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Beardsley, and has a host of friends
which she has made by hor cheerful,
sunshiny disposition. Mr. Weaver was
born and raised in Columbus and the
fair bride a resident for many years nnd
naturally our people are interested in
their future happiness. None but nour
relatives were present at the wedding.
The couple moved into their new, neat,
little cottage just south of the groom's
father's which had been recently built
and furnished ready for occupancy.

lations. It is seldom that a local paragraph

where he bought his goods of Tootle,
Wheeler & Motter, a wealthy firm who
are doing an immense business, of which
people generally have no conception.
One train load of thirty-three cars with
goods alone for this firm arrived while
be was there, and every nook and corner
of the immense establishment was full
of goods, buyers and those who were
waiting on the buyers. One hundred
and thirty-five salesmen, start in at 7
o'clock in tho morning and work all
they can till 10 at night in an endeavor
to keep ahead of orders, and then they
have stacks of them to begin on the
next day.

Down at Ashland they have been
consulting a fortune-teller in regard to
the disappearance of Agent Roy at Ith
aca, and she declares that his body lies
at the head of a certain island in the
Platte under fifteen feet of water and
three of sand. She chose Roy's photo
graph, without hesitation among others,
and described his personal appearance.
She described two men of Ithaca load
ing cars that night, and told how, after
they finished, they drove away in one
direction while Roy went around the
end of the car. Here, she asserted, he
was struck on the head by his murder
ers, but before losing consciousness
pitched the safe keys of the office into
the weeds beside the track. A search
after this statement revealed the keys
exactly where she said they were. The
woman also asserted that the murdered
man's body was taken in a buggy to tha
Platte and thrown into the water. This
statement recalled the tracks which'
were discovered the morning after the
disappearance, leading to the Platte and
running for some distance on the Sarpy
side. Her assertions are something
wonderful and having so far been true,
the searchers will attempt to find the
corpse where he has located it in the
river.

In matters of policy touching public
affairs in which all of us are more or
less interested, because the public wel
fare is involved, The Journal believes
that there shonld be the utmost freedom
of individual action. That, so far as
nominations, for instance, are concerned,
there should be the fullest, freest dis
cussion and conference among the dele
gates to the convention and republicans
in general as to the qualifications, the
fitness and the availability of the candi
dates to be presented to the people of
Platte county by the republicans, for
their suffrage, this fall.
We believe that the republican party
of Platte county has the opportunity of
its life for victory all along the line.
There are several exceedingly good
reasons for this belief that it is not nec
essary, just here and now to set forth.
But, if the delegates elect, and to whom
has been entrusted the duty, will act
upon the principle of looking over the
republicans of the county with a view
to selecting as standard-bearers men
who are undoubtedly qualified for the
position selected; honest and capable;
men who have the full confidence of
their party friends and the community
at large in which they live; men who
will bring strength instead of weakness
to tho ticket; men who will not only
uuraci votes 10 inemseives, out nave a
tendency to bring voters to consider the
merits of other candidates on the ticket
it mis general line oi procedure is
followed, the republicans of Platte
county, whether members of the con
vention or not, whether candidates in
this campaign or not, can well congrat
ulate each other on the prospect of
success.
Republicans believe in law and its
enforcement; they believe in good, capa
ble, trustworthy men for official station;
they believe in fair play between aspi
rants for public place.
Let ns have a clear-cut campaign ou
merit candidate confronting candidate;
principle opposed to political make
shift; the public welfare our motto, as
against individual greed of officials as
evidenced more than ouce by the record
of our opponents.
The people of Platte, irrespective of
party, will hail with delight a ticket of
this kind, and give it a grand support.
SatVriag in Silence.
Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands of th6m endure the
dragging torture of the ills peculiar to
womanhood in the silence of the home.
They suffer on and on weeks, mouths,
years. The story of weakness and tor
ture is written in the drawn features, in
the sallow skin, in the listless eyes, in
the lines of care and worry on the face.
Inborn modesty seals these women's
lips. They prefer the pain to humilia
tion. Custom has made them believe
the only hope of relief lies in the ex
amination and "local treatment." But
in nine cases of female weaknesses out
of ten, local treatment is unnecessary.
There is no good reason why modest,
sensitive women should submit to it.
McEIree's Wine of Cardui which is
attracting so much attention now, has
brought about a revolution in tho man
ner of treating this troublesome class of
diseases. It is a pure vegetable wine
that exerts a wonderfully healing,
strengthening and 6oothing iuflueuce
over the organs of womanhood. It in
vigorates and stimulates the whole sys
tem. It is almost infullible in curing
the peculiar weaknesses, irregularities
and painful derangements of women.
It does this great work year after year
in the privacy of home away from the
eyes of everybody. Every druggist sells
Wine of Cardui. The price is 31.00 per
bottle. 1
What Platte County Farm
ers Say.
This is to certify: That I have been
feeding Standard Food to 100 young
pigs and their mothers about bi'x weeks
and I am entirely satisfied with the
result. The pigs are growing fast and
are smooth, and eat well.
F. J Stengek.
I can truly say that I have been feed
ing Standard Food to my hogs with
good results. It increased their appe
tite, and they are now doing much better
than before. I shall feed it to my fat
tening hogs, and intend to keep it on
hand all the time.
