"DEMOCRATIC AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CI HCUM STANCES. OFFICE No. 112, South Sixth hticrrt Volume XXIII PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 29, 1903. Number 5. A Pioneer Goat. In the death of Mr. Stohlman Cass county loses on of its most honorable, upright and chailtahte citizens, and one who has resided within its limits for many years. The deceased had liecn in declining health for some time previous t.j his demise, and while not expected so soon, death came to his re- lief on Friday, January 23, 1003, at 4 o'clock p. m. The funeral took place from the German Lutheran church, west of Louisville, on Monday follow-i- n, and a large concourse of sympa- thetic friends attended to pay their last rites to an excellent citizen and a a gouri man. Most appropriate serv- ices were conducted hy Kev. J. G. .lung, during which a most eloquent sermon was delivered. The services hoth at the church and grave were very impressive, and many tears were ob- served trickling don the chocks of those who had known Mr. Stohlman so long and loved so well in all his daily walks of life. The large church was tilled to its utmost capacity, and stand- ing room was unobtainable. After the services all that remained of the once prosperous, happy, good ami noble cit- izen, Fredrlch Philip August Stohlman was consigned to t he silent tomb, there to await the resurrection morn. The deceased leaves a wife, two daughters and six sons to mourn the loss of a most dutiful and loving husband and father and the community loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Mr. Stohlman as born In the town of Bomberg, Province Lippe Detmold, Oermany, March 14, 1S31. When quite a young man he emigrated to America In 1319, and located in Wisconsin, and In 18r9 came to Nebraska. He pre- empted his farm land on which he lived so many years and died. He was among the early settlers of Cass coun- ty, and shared in the hardships inci- dent to the earlv settlement of the country. On one or two occasions lie walked back to Wisconsin, before he was married. Early in the spring of 18K he was married to Mirs Kuni-gund- c Shoemau and then moved here to establish a home on his land for him- self, wife and the progeny that follow- ed the happy union. Be Loyal or Get Out. There are some people who are al- ways telling you how much better. some other town Is than this. There is no reasonable excuse for a man Ihing in a town if he doesn't like it. If you have no word of commendation to say for your town, its institutions or itsi people, emigrate. You won't stop the course of events by going away, neither will your carping criticism cut any liures If you remain. The church bells will have the same musical ring, j the do's will play just as briskly, the j tisli will bite just as well and the pure air and bright sunshine will have the same health giving properties. Speak a good word for your neightor if you can, if you can't don't everlasting en- large on th :ir faults. If you have be- come throughu sore and cannot see any good in your town, move away; go somewhere where things suit you. Mutual Telephone Lines. In some sections of Cass county, and especially in the neighborhood of Mur-- ! ray, the farmers are agitating a mutual telephone system, and one of these parties Is already in correspon- dence with electrical su.pply manu- facturers to see what telephones can he purchased tor. Also, they are post- ing themselves upon the prices of tedar poles, wire, etc. We know of several mutual lines that are in suc- cessful operation for short distances, Kiy tlfty or one hundred miles, and the stockholders claim they are saving money by so doing. It will not cost a great deal to try the experiment. In order to make it a success farmers should all go into it, and establish a line first In their immediate vicinity, and then branch out in either direction they desire. A Righteous Verdict. The case of Krayenbuhl vs. the I. &M. which had been absorbing the attention of the court all the week, was given to the jury Wednesday even- ing. The jury were unanimous from the start in finding for the plaintiff and finally settled on a verdict for 15,000. This is the case where a little four-year-o- ld boy lost a leg on the turn- table of the railroad company at Palmer several years ago. Central City (Neb) Democrat. Too Good to Keep. A feminine teacher in one of the schools in this count', and by the way, we are not going to say whether she teaches la this city or not, gave a boy a problem in algebra that was not regarded as a very difficult one. The boy could not solve it. The teacher remarked with some show of severity: My boy, you ought to be able to do that. At your age George Washington was a surveyor." The boy looked her straight In the eye and answered: "Yes, ma'am, and at your age he was president of the United States." The conversation dropped at that point.

Toere promises to be a large attend- ance. Nebraska City News Heard From. Slier iff Mc Bride, about the tine Frank Buird was shot over in Iowa, w rote to the sheriff at Fresno, Cali- fornia, regarding one Charles Ordell, who was arrested in thiscity some two years vlo. In reply to his letter, which he received last Friday morn- ing, the California sheriff informs him that Ordell is still in the pen-itentra- ry in that state serving a ten year sentence. Ordell it seems was a pal of Baird. and w hen he was captured he gave the name of Ordell, which caused Sheriff Mc Bride to address the sheriff at Fresno. A Good Word. The editor of the Nebraska Blizzard Henry Huckins, was in Plattsmouth one day last week, and anong other things he said in his paper about us in the following: "The town is enjoying a good business and is very quiet and orderly. This latter condition Is per- haps largely due to the vigilance and sagacity of the new chief of police, "Rube" Hyers. Mr. Hyers is an old officer and knows well how to spot" and take care of crooks and criminals. Thus lawlessness has been reduced to a minimum within the past few months." Base Ball. At a meeting of those interested in base ball in Shenandoah, Iowa, a few-day- s ago, a league was formed com- posed of Plattsmouth, Council Bluffs, Nebraska City, Red Oak, Malvern and Shenandoah, to be called the South- western Iowa and Nebraska baseball league.

Unscrupulous merchants sacrifice the health and life of citizens to their greed. The people should assist the state board in refusing to accept imitations of a good article they need as food or medicine. Buy always the genuine article, and do not listen to those saying that they have smething just as good as Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It is impossible. This wine tonic is the best blood purifier, appetite-give- r and nerve-strengthen- er. It brings all organs to their natural activity; will make the complexion beautiful, the nerves strong, the muscles firm, the digestion perrect. Contains pure grape-win- e and selected mountain ivrbs. It is not a cathartic, but it removes constipation in every case by effecting a thorough absorptionof food; It wil not only bring relief in such cases, but permanent results.

The negro, who was arrested in Omaha on Tuesday of last week, for an assualt upon one Hattie Walker, at 205 Eleventh street, proved to be Burl Handy. It will be remembered that he was sent to the penitentiary from this county for breaking into a Rock Island freight car at South Bend. He was sent up for two years. He is now in Kansas City, where he will answer to the charge of murder along with two or three other niggers. Elected Secretary. At the recent convention of the county commissioners and supervisior of the state at Omaha, a bill was en- dorsed extending the terms of all county officials. It was unamously voted that each member of the con- vention be assessed 25 cents to provide for any indebtness to be incurred in pushing such legislative work as agreed upon. The excellent qualities of J. P. Falter were recognized in his selection as secretary. Falls to Open Up. A special from Ord, Nebraska, under date of January 23, says: "The store of Solomon & Nathan of this place, a branch of their Geneva house, did not open up. this morning. A placard on the door states that it will be taken charge of tomorrow morning by a Chi- cago adjustment company." This firm also have a branch house in this city. Dsssstlc Troubles.

There Is probably no more affecting scanc presented on the stage than that shown In Act. Ill, of "The Christian," where John Storm seeks his childhood companion and heart's love in her rooms at Clement's Inn, believing it is his duty to her and her immortal soul, that he should take her life, and thus save her, as he bellves from complete moral destruction. He had gone to the race track that day on purpose to watch her, and had seen her driven on to the grounds in a stylish equipage, with male and female companions for whose moral conviction Father Storm had not the slightest respect. He had seen the party enjoying itself in the way customary to parties of its kind, the hilarious delight in the races, the betting on results, the elegant lunch, the snapping of champagne corks. What wonder that the mind, subjected to such training as Father Storm's had been should feel convinced that the hour for her deliverence had arrived. He loved Glory Quay le. Her soul's salvation was more to him than all else on earth; more to him than all else in the world to come; more even than his own soul's salvation So when he plodded his way back to the great city that night, only to find himself hounded at every turn by the bloodhounds whom Lord Robert Ure had put upon his track, what was more natural than that the determination to seek Glory and take her lire should be fixed Immovably in his memory. He shook off the filthy members of the mob like they were so many curs, and with them snapping at his heels he made his way to Glory's door. She heard him call, and she heard the hoarse cry of the mob who was clamor- ing for his life. "ne pleads for safety," says Glory, who gazes out the window at the horrifying sight. She flies to the door and lets him in. The half demented priest is indifferent to his own danger, and as Glory gazes at him inquiringly he advances with maniacal stare, and with his cross held high above his head, saying in supulchral voice: "Have you said your prayers tonight, Glory? Then say them now." She realizes that she has to deal with a mind diseased and her woman's wit is put to the test at once. It is a struggle for life, a desperate struggle, not of muscular strength, but between woman's wiles and a man's half crazed fanaticism. He tells her he has come to kill her. Sue says, "No, to love me, John, You have always loved me, you know you the piano top a photograph of the girl have." And she snatches from of the "lil He" in her cap and Jersey, and asks him to tell her how she has changed. He will not be appeased, and declaiming that "God's will is his will" he grasps her by the throat and forces her to her knees. Still she pleads, and endeavors to gain the in- fluence over his mind that she knew she had always possessed. Was It not natural that her woman's ways suc- ceeded? Have they not always been succesful? Still it was a fearful struggle, and those who have once seen it will never forget it. Your Duty. It may not be generally known, but those having mail boxes on the rural routes are required to provide passable roads. In cases where snow drifts about the boxes the party being served must make a clear passage way for the carrier, as he is not required to dis- mount from his conveyance to reach a box to deposit mail. Keep this in mind and you will be served promptly. Wonderful Nerve. Is displayed by many a man endur- ing pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, sore-fe- et or stiff joints. But there's no need for it. Buckien's Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It's the best salve on earth for Piles, too. 25c, at F. G. Fricke & Co. druggists.

Adulterated Foodstufss.The state board of health is doing
all in its power to prevent the adult- -
teration of foodstuffs, so common atpresent. Unscrupulous merchantssacrifice the health and life of citizensto their greed. The people shouldassist the state board in refusing toaccept imitations of a good articlethey need as food or medicine. Buyalways the genuine article, and do notlisten to those saying that they havesmething just as good as Triner'sAmerican Elixir of Bitter Wine. Itis impossible. This wine tonic is thebest blood purifier, appetite-give- r andnerve-strengthen- er. It brings allorgans to their natural activity; willmake the complexion beautiful, thenerves strong, the muscles firm, thedigestion perrect. Contains puregrape-win- e and selected mountainivrbs. It is not a cathartic, but itremoves constipation in every case byeffecting a thorough absorptionof food;It wil not only bring relief in suchcases, but permanent results.

Again In The Toils.The negro, who was arrested in
Omaha on Tuesday of last week, foran assualt upon one Hattie Walker, at205 Eleventh street, proved to be BurlHandy. It will be remembered thathe was sent to the penitentiary fromthis county for breaking into a RockIsland freight car at South Bend.He was sent up for two years. He isnow in Kansas City, where he willanswer to the charge of murder alongwith two or three other niggers.
Elected Secretary.At the recent convention of the
county commissioners and supervisiorof the state at Omaha, a bill was en-
dorsed extending the terms of allcounty officials. It was unamouslyvoted that each member of the con-
vention be assessed 25 cents to providefor any indebtness to be incurred inpushing such legislative work as agreedupon. The excellent qualities of J. P.Falter were recognized in his selectionas secretary.
Falls to Open Up.
A special from Ord, Nebraska, underdate of January 23, says: "The storeof Solomon & Nathan of this place, abranch of their Geneva house, did notopen up. this morning. A placard onthe door states that it will be takencharge of tomorrow morning by a Chi-cago adjustment company." This firmalso have a branch house in this city.
Dsssstlc Troubles.It is exceptional to find a family
where-- there are no domestic rupturesoccasionally, but these can be lessenedby having Dr. King's New Life Pillsaround. Much trouble they save bytbeir great work -- In Stomach andLiver troubles. They not only relieveyou, . but cure. . 25. cents, at F. G.Fricke & Go's. drqj xioEs.
A Thrilling Scene.There Is probably no more affecting
scanc presented on the stage than thatshown In Act. Ill, of "The Christian,"where John Storm seeks his childhoodcompanion and heart's love in herrooms at Clement's Inn, believing it ishis duty to her and her immortal soul,that he should take her life, and thussave her, as he bellves from completemoral destruction. He had gone tothe race track that day on purpose towatch her, and had seen her driven onto the grounds in a stylish equipage,with male and female companions forwhose moral conviction Father Stormhad not the slightest respect. He hadseen the party enjoying itself in theway customary to parties of its kind,the hilarious delight in the races, thebetting on results, the elegant lunch,the snapping of champagne corks.What wonder that the mind, subjectedto such training as Father Storm'shad been should feel convinced thatthe hour for her deliverence hadarrived. He loved Glory Quay le. Hersoul's salvation was more to him thanall else on earth; more to him thanall else in the world to come; moreeven than his own soul's salvationSo when he plodded his way back tothe great city that night, only to findhimself hounded at every turn by thebloodhounds whom Lord Robert Urehad put upon his track, what was morenatural than that the determinationto seek Glory and take her lire shouldbe fixed Immovably in his memory.He shook off the filthy members ofthe mob like they were so many curs,and with them snapping at his heelshe made his way to Glory's door. Sheheard him call, and she heard thehoarse cry of the mob who was clamor-ing for his life. "ne pleads forsafety," says Glory, who gazes out thewindow at the horrifying sight. Sheflies to the door and lets him in. Thehalf demented priest is indifferent tohis own danger, and as Glory gazes athim inquiringly he advances withmaniacal stare, and with his cross heldhigh above his head, saying insupulchral voice: "Have you saidyour prayers tonight, Glory? Then saythem now." She realizes that shehas to deal with a mind diseased andher woman's wit is put to the test atonce. It is a struggle for life, adesperate struggle, not of muscularstrength, but between woman's wilesand a man's half crazed fanaticism.He tells her he has come to kill her.Sue says, "No, to love me, John, Youhave always loved me, you know youthe piano top a photograph of the girlhave." And she snatches fromof the "lil He" in her cap and Jersey,and asks him to tell her how she haschanged. He will not be appeased,and declaiming that "God's will is hiswill" he grasps her by the throat andforces her to her knees. Still shepleads, and endeavors to gain the in-
fluence over his mind that she knewshe had always possessed. Was It notnatural that her woman's ways suc-
ceeded? Have they not always beensuccesful? Still it was a fearfulstruggle, and those who have onceseen it will never forget it.
Your Duty.It may not be generally known, but
those having mail boxes on the ruralroutes are required to provide passableroads. In cases where snow driftsabout the boxes the party being servedmust make a clear passage way for thecarrier, as he is not required to dis-mount from his conveyance to reach abox to deposit mail. Keep this in mindand you will be served promptly.
Wonderful Nerve.Is displayed by many a man endur-
ing pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds,Bruises, Burns, Scalds, sore-fe- et orstiff joints. But there's no need forit. Buckien's Arnica Salve will killthe pain and cure the trouble. It'sthe best salve on earth for Piles, too.25c, at F. G. Fricke & Co. druggists.
