STILL THERE'S TROUBLE
Department Store Fiasco Attracts
Attention of the Sheriff.
lie Lertea on the Dry Uood Stock on an
Order of Attachment Iu the Hani of
5S4.6S, the Amount of Clultna Held
By Two Kansas City Flriua Stock
Uelof Invoiced Today.
L. M. Rawitzer, the new proprietor
of the Department store, waa very
abruptly Btopped from making sales in
the dry goods department of that in
stitution at about 10 o'clock this morn
lag by Sheriff William Wheeler, who
levied on the stock on an order of at
tachment for amounts aggregating
$2,5-54,62, and notified the clerks to
sell no more goods. lie could not lock
the doors on account of interfering
with the grocery department, which
is being conducted by Paxton & Gal
lagher. The attachment proceedings
wern instituted by the Western; and
Southern Mercantile association of
Kansas City, which association holds
a claim for $1,791, and Barton Bros
of the same place, their claim being
for $763.62.
The sheriff was protected in the pro
ceedings by a $5,200 bond, given by
the firms and signed by C. C. Parmele
and the American Guarantee company
of New York. A like bond was also
given to seeure the order of attach
menL As to the outcome of the very
much complicated case there are many
suppositions. It is stated that George
Tourtelot, the original owner, has
seeked a more agreeable clime until
the controversy is settled.
Emii Wuri and Henry Herold were
appointed to invoice the tttocK
and after this is done an I Mr. Raw
itzer gives bond the business' will bo
resumed.
A suit was instituted before Justice
Archer this afternoon in which prop
erty belonging to W. W. Coates was
attached to satisfy a claim or some
Chicago parties on the Tourtelot stock
The matter was taken under advise
ment. .
RAILROAD NOTES AND PERSONALS
It is stated a new time card will go
into effect on the Burlington January
1.
The Chicago-Omaha lines do not
favor the 1899 Omaha exposition, and
declare they will neither donate
money or give reduced rates on ac
count of it
Yard master Chet Manchester will
go to Lincoln this evening to soend
Christmas with relatives, his wife and
baby having gone this morning.
The tendency of western railroads
during the past few years has been to
do away with wcoden bridges as
rapidly as possible, owing to the great
cost of maintaining them, and the dan
ger from fire. Whenever possible the
Burlington has taken out its long
spans of wooden bridges and substi
tuted fills, with shorter and more sub
stantial iron bridges over the chan
nels which had to be bridged. The
Burlington is building few wooden
bridges these days and replacing many
old ones with iron.
Theieare more train crews to be
seen on the streets of Plattsmouth now
than for many years. The "Q" crew
relieves the Burlington crew that
brings No. 6 here each morning and
they remain here until noon instead
of going to the Junction. In fact
about all o: the train men who run
into the Junction come over here on
account ot the good hotel accommoda
tions and because of the opportunity
to remain over night in a live town.

All Checks Need Stamps.
E. R. Mumford, deputy internal
revenue collector for this district, is
in receipt of a letter fiom his chief.
correcting en erroneous interpreta
tion of a recent ruling on the now
revenue law as the stumping- of checks
is concerned, which Mr. Houtz asks to
be given some publicity in order that
it may prevent some from getting into
trouble. It appears thai a recent rul
ing on the new law stated that deposi
tors of a bank could secure funds there
from without having to pay the stamp
tax, but that instead of making a
check on their account, a receipt must
be given the bank and this receipt is
not negotiable, as is a check. In some
places this ruling was interpreted as
meaning that a depositor could go to
the bank, issue a check on his account
and accept the cash without attaching
a stamp to the check. This error ia
what the collector seeks to correct.
No checks, however issued or wherever
used, can be made without having the
stamp affixed, but a receipt can be
used without the stamp. The only
difference ia that the receipt cannot
be used as cash in a transaction, the
maker being compelled to make the
application at the bank in person for
the money. Nebraska City News.

'The Keal Widow Brown."
If you want to enjoy a good hearty
laugh go and see "The Real Widow
Brown" when she comes to White's
opera house Tuesday, December 27.
The lady is the leading character in
one of the best farce-comedies on the
road. The play has been a great suc
cess wherever produced and it is safe
to 6ay its popularity will be duplicated
here. Manager Scammon has intro
duced a wealth of innovations in the
shape of bright and catchy songs and
fascinating dances. He possesses a
compan3 of recognized ability, each
individual being selected fo- his or
her personal and artistic qualities.
Unlike the average farce-comedy, this
play possesses a decidedly amusing
plot hinging on a case of mistaken
identity. Its wits and jokes are re
fined and clean and you don't have to
sink shafts to find them, but, like the
Klondike, all tho. mental nuggets are
found on the surface. In "The Real
Widow Brown" you don't have to dig
for laugh.
Watches as Gifts.
There is nothing that serves to re
mind one every hour of a lifetime of
the doner so well as a good watch.
We have them iu best American

artistic finish and beauty of design

lower than at any other time of the
