HE PREFERRED DEATH 10 SICKNESS.
James Clizbe of Weeping Water
Takes His Own Life.
While SufTerinff From Temporary Insanity
Caused By a Long Siege of 8icknea
He Cuts His Throat and Soon Expires
Was An Old And Respected Citizen
of Cass County.
Between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock
yesterday morning, at his home in
Weeping Water, James Clizbo com
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
with a knife.
Mr. Clizbe has had poor health for
a number of years, anil it is thought
that this so preyed upon his mind as
to causa temporary insanity. He had
been able to be about the house the
most of the time. Yesterday morning
all the members of the family left the
room in which Mr. Clizbe was sitting
and upon their return were horrified
to find him dying from wounds in
flicted by his own hand. lie lived
but a few moments.
James Clizbe was w;ell-to-do, own
ing a good farm near Weeping
Water beside other property, in the
city. lie came to Nebraska in 18-39,
nettling at Bellevue. After a resi
dence of a few years ai that place he
removed to his present farm, where
he has resideded since. He was well
known in Plattsmouth, where he fre
quently transacted business and where
he had a large circle of friends. A
wife and six children are left to mourn
his sad demise. He was about sixty
.years of age.
THE KENTUCKY ORATOR TALKS.
Addresses Two Meetings In the City on
Sunday Afternoon and Evening.
George VV". Bain, the Kentucky
orator, was in the city yesterday und
addressed a meeting of young men at
the Methodist church in the afternoon
and a union meeting at the Presby
lei-ian church in the evening. Both
meetings were well attended, the
Presbyterian church being crowded to
its utmost capacity. In his address to
.young men the lecturer's subject was
'The Safe Side of Life tor Youn
IMen." His talk was listened to with
the most profound interest throughout.
The substance of the lecturer's advice
Xo young men was honesty, industry'
-nd sobriety. When a young man
starts out in life with the resolution
that this shall guide. him, the speaker
stated, nothing can prevent him from
roakiDg a success of life.
In the evening Mr. Bain's subject
was "Our Nation's Sin." He said that
all the panics and disturbances in la
bjr circles could be laid to tne door of.
the saloon. He also stated that it
was not a case of too much gold or too
much silver, or vice versa, that has
caused the financial depression, but a
case of too much whisky.
No admission fee was charged at
either of the meetings, but a neat sum
was realized by the collection at the
close of the meetings.
Dumped Into the River.
A few days ago Charles Kdgerton of
this city undertook the task of taking
Mrs. William Fields and daughter,
Una, who reside at Bethlehem, across
'the Missouri river down by the bridge
in a skiff. When the party reached
".the middle of the river the boat struck
:a rolling sandbar and threw Mrs.
Pields overboard. Miss Una at once
Jfeaped into the water to save -her
mother and it was a miracle that
Mr. Edgerton sayed them from drown
ing. He soon succeeded in getting
the daughter back in the boat, but
M rs. Fields floated down the river
considerable distance before she was
rescued. She was in an exhausted
condition when rescued and had to be
carried to her home when the shore
-was reached. It was certainly a nar
row escape, and Mr. Edgerton de
serves great credit for his presence of
.mind.

IT WOULD NOT WOHK.
Two Scheming Politicians Meet With Grief
At the Woman's Clob Meeting.
There are politicians of all grades
and degrees of finesse even here in
Plattsmouth, but for the present
"Cholly" Cummins and Guyromeo
Livingston are entitled to the belt.
Last evening the Woman's club was
holding a meeting at the home of
Mrs. Perry Walker. "Cholly" Cum
mins, who is specially prolific of poli
tical schemes, incubated and hatched
out the brilliant idea that it would bo
a capital joke to slip up to the
Woman's club meeting and capiuro
the ladies, hypnotize them with Guy
romeo's eloquence and get au endorse
ment of the democratic school board
nominees.
The scheme appeared worthy of a
Talleyrand, and the boys chuckled in
anticipation of how they woulu wipe
the hated republicans off the face of
the earth next Tuesday by the aid of
the women. The next thing was to
carry the plan into effect. The Third
ward leader and his co-partner atonce
called upon the ladies, but did not
meet with a very cordial reception.
Guyromeo made one of his persuasive
talks in dulcet tonei, and "Cholly"
added a few grains of Third ward
logic, after which they retired while
the ladies deliberated. Later on they
called with expectant faces and beam- j
Ing eyes to learn the fate of the repub
lican party, which they imagined was
to be macerated by their brilliant
coupe de-tet.
Imagine their disappointment when
the ladies informed them that their
organization was not political and
they must refuse to take any action
in the matter, as every member would
vote as she saw fit. This was depress
ing, and the two political sachemers
departed in silence with a premoni
tion of the gloomy defeat' in storn fur
them next week.
Woman's Club Meeting.
The Current Literature department
of tho Woman's club, in the absence of
Mrs. Munger, tho lender, was led by
Mrs. Wise.
The program was one of unusual in
terest. The routine business was di
versified by ashort parlimetiatarj'drill
which was as usual entertaining, be-
ng led by Mrs. Stoutenborough.
Miss Holloway opened tho program
by a little .'impromptu talk on the
'Educational Value of the .Modern
Story." Her ideas woro original and
well expressed.
Mrs. Herold's review of "Sentimen
tal Tommy" was greatly . enjoyed by
the admirers of that charming book.
Mrs. Streigbt gave a short review
and reading from "Bessie Costrell,"
and although she criticised the work
rather severely, her paper was most
nteresting and listened to with great
attention.
Tha closing numbers of the pro
gram wore talks" from Mrs. Snyder
on "Modern Law Making," and Mrs.
Travis onthe Initiativo.and Heferej-
num Laws," followed by a discussion
n which all tho members participated
and brought out many witty and
original criticisms on our present laws
and law makers.
In our report of the "Art Depart
ment" last week we omitted mention
of a reading of an original poem bv
Isabel Richey entitled "A Picture,"
which was quite apropos to the sub
ject in hand and one of her best.
The Kpworth Social.
Nearly a hundred of Plattsmouth's
best young people gathered last even
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. An
thony and enjoyed themselves as only
light-hearted young folks can. ;
Alter a short business session at
which thirteen new names were pro
posed for membership, the following
program was rendered :-
Song Clifford Wescott
Recitation Miss Nettie Wavhriclit
ocal duet Misses Mertie and Susie Reefer

Iid It With Snow Plows.
General Manager Holdrege and
Superintendent Calvert of thoB. & M.
were well pleased over the work their
two big rotary snow plows did Thurs
day in breaking up the snow drifts
along the line between Gillette and
Sheridan. The line was opened up
Thursday afternoon. To a Bee re
ported yesterday Mr. Holdrege said:
"Yes, our rotaries did great work.
There were lots of drifts between
Gillette and Sheridan from ten to
fourteen feet deep. It was a wet,
heavy snow, too, and it was s hard
obstacle to remove. It was tho heavi
est snow we havo had along our line
for some time, but the rotaries got
through in good shape." Omaha Bee.

LIQUIFIED AIR.
New Power Discovered Which Revolu
tionizes the Forcesgof Nature.
New York, March 29. Charles E.
Tripler, a wealthy young man, living
in a handsome bouse facing the
Museum of Natural History, says he
has discovered a way to utilize the
heat of the 6un in producing power
His intermediary, ho says, is the air.
First, he liquefies the air and then he
utilizes the pressure caused by its
evaporation, just as tho pressure
caused by the boiling of water is
utilized in the steam' engine.
Thomas A. Edison says he can not
conceive of such a thing. He said that
Mr. Tripler can get from his liquefied
air only as much power as he used in
producing the liquefaction. Mr. Edi
son snid that if Mr. Tripler's state
ment is true it upsets the universally
accepted theory of the conservation
of energy and all theories of thermo
dynamics.
Mr. Tripler'was experimenting with
his invention before some friends
Saturday night. Pouring liquified air
into a tumbler of alcohol reduced it to
160 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit)
and froze it. S. J. Dean applied a
raatchfto it, and a terrific explosion
followed. Dean was'so badly cut by
flying glass the doctor refuses anyone
permission to see him.
Two others were also more or less
cut, and the glass cut up the table as
thoutrh it had been hacked by a chisel.
Mr. Tripler explains hi-i invention by
saying he used the energy of the sun.
Asked how he got his liquified air, he
answered: "I use a certain amount
of power to get a quantitj- or liquified
air to start with. . That power is
furnished to me in the plant of the
Metropolitan company. Once started,
the process is coutinuous."
Wilt lie Highly Entertained.
Those who were so fortunate as to
bo present at the "Ladies' Day" en
tertainments given' by the Presb'
terian ladies last vear will remember
how popular they were, and will be
pleased to learn tbey are to be re
sumed this year. The first of the
series will be given next Thursday
evening at the homo of Mr. and Mrs.
II. J. Streigbt, but instead of "Ladies'
Day" it can be more properly styled
"Gentleman's Evening." An "Art
Talk" by Mrs. Snyder will be the
feature or the evening, and those who
have heard Mrs.'Snyder on this topic
can attest that she does indeed bring
forth -
"All that imagination's power can trace.
ISreatlied in the pencil's imitative grace;
How on the canvas, form and feeling
The painter's art is lifo revealing."
After the Art talk, refreshments
will be served, for the ladies are
aware that there is nothing more sure
to take hold of tho best feelicgs of
mankind than
"That all-softening, over-powering knell
The tocsin of the soul the dinner-bell."
The usual rule of such occasions
will be reversed, however, and the
"new woman" will in all humility
stand back, whilo the erstwhile "lords
of creation" dish up the evasive oys
ter and practice their well-known
graces while "waiting on the table."
All other inducements laid aside, it
will be worth the price of admission,
'25 cents, to see how "au-fail" the
Plattsmouth gentlemen jnay become
whe:i allowed to come to the front
liemember the time Thursday even
ing at Mrs. Streights.
The Missing Omaha Lawyer.
