(JUIblUS ON FRUIT
BHossoms and Garden Truck Nip
ped, but Warmer Weather
Is Predicted.
The Iflw temperature and snow of
yesterday has put a decided damper
on the fruit man's hopes for a good
crop this year. The cold Friday
night probably had but little effect
on the blossoms, as part of the night
was cloudy and there was a brisk
eze blowing but the drop of two or
,c below the freezing point Saturday
night was without doubt fatal to any
trees that were in bloom at that time.
There are some trees mostly peaches,
that may be far enough advanced to
escape the deadly results of low tem
perature, but it was said by a number
f fruit owners today that they would
expect no crop this year.
Last night was cloudy and there
was a good breeze astir but the wet
snow that fell during the day had the
vegetation in such condition that the
cold would greatly effect it. It is not
thought the wheat will be seriously
injured, but its growth will be set
back for some time. The skys are now
clearing in the western part of the
state and on the Pacific coast the wea
ther is much warmer, so it is expected
the back bone of the cold snap will
soon be broken.
The sudden receding of the mercury
has been general throughout the coun
try, the lowest temperatures being
urricd from North Dakota where
n: mi l iMunu it i it tiau mu its iu v as
'. and six inches of snow fell. In the
western part of the state it was a num
ber of degrees colder than here and
the fruit buds through the whole state
have been blasted. The frigid spell
was not so severe in Iowa but even
there grave fears are being held as
to it's effect on the fruit.
Mozart and Ueetnoven.
The stories of how men of gen
ius have had future fame predicted
for them in their early youth must
generally be taken with a consider
able grain of salt. As authentic us
most is the account of the first
meeting of Mozart with the young
Beethoven, which took place on the
latter's first visit to Vienna in the
year 1787. Mozart, then at the
height of his fame, usked him to
play, hut, thinking his performance
a prepared piece, paid little atten
tion to it. Beethoven, seeing this,
entreated Mozart to give him a sub
ject, which he did, and the boy, get
ling excited with the occasion, play
ed so finely that the composer of
'iou Giovanni," stepping softly
into the next room, said to his
'friend there: "Pay attention to
him J- He will make a noise in the
wc.(u some day or another."

NEW THEATRE WILL
OPEN ON SATURDAY
Proprietor Here and Remodeling
ol Building Will be Rushed
Through.
(From Monday's Daily)
H. M. Shales, the moving picture
man from Tekama is in the city today
looking after the work of remodeling
the I .conard building which he has
rented for a moving picture show.
The pluee will probably be known as
"The Majestic" and the interior will
be fixed up as modern and comfort
able as possible. The floor is being
raised in the rear and the walls are
receiving a new coat of paint anil pa
per. Mr. Schlaes is negotiating for
the Walker fixtures that were used
in the building when it was last con
ducted as a theatre.
The owner is familiar with this
line or business and is now operat
ing a theatre at Tekama, but will
make his future home in this city.
He will gibe a fine evening's enter
tainment and Staurday afternoon
matinee for the admission fee of ten
cents in the evening, and five cents
for the day perfonnan e.
He will make a change of program
every other day, and gerhaps four
times a week. The work on " the
building is being rushed as fast as
possible and the proprietor hopes to
have the new place hi running order
by Saturday night. He will not in
stall a tin-pan meehinaeal piano player
but he is now in search of a good singer
and artist of the ivories.
That Plattsmouth's new citizen
will meet with success is no matter of
doubt, for he is a hustler and the
amusement fine iu this city is com
paratively dead except for the weekly
performance at the Parmcle. He will
publish an announcement to the peo
ple in the columns of the News on
some date this week.
In the District Court.
The District court was in session
Saturday afternoon and besides the
diamond swindler case there were
several cases up of minor importance.
In the case of the First Xavional Hank
vs. Hatt & Son, the trial wa extended.
It appearing from the testimony in
the ease that Silas W. Breckenridge
wit'.out permission unlawfully sold
the chattels secured bv morttruire
covering the subject matter of the
suit, the county attorney was
ordered to prosecute said Hrecken
ridge for felony for selling mortgaged
property. Ihe evidence was offered
in the original case, submitted and
taken under advisement. It seems
that Hreckenridge owed Hatt a sum
of $140 for which he gave a mort
gage on his com. He later sojd the
grain to one Gillispie.
A bill of exceptions was stricken
from the files, on the Court's own mo
tion, and the clerk of the court was
directed to return same to Justice of
peace Patterson for proper certifi
cation which would be signed, certi
fied and allowed, in the ease of C. V.
JJaylor vs. Claude Butler.
A motion for new trial was over
ruled in the case of Lorcnce Bowers
vs. C. H. & O.. Ry. A decision had
been entered some time ago in favor
of the railway company.

ex rel., Clause Butler vs. Fred Pat
terson, Patterson was ordered and
directed to sign, certify and allow
bill of exceptions, in which case a
judgment had been entered in justice
court, tlio lull of exceptions to be
dated July 25, 1909.
In the McDonald vs. McDonald
case the plaintiff was civen leave to

Dishes Go to George Hall.
George Hall, a blacksmith at the
Burlington shops, showed up at the
Riley Sunday with the lucky ticket,
No. 150, that drew the dinner set at
the Parmele Friday j, night. He
happily claimed the prize that was put
put up by the Grew company and it
is the general supposition of his friends
that now he has the dishes, he will
have to get someone to help him use
them, and he is waiting until school
lets out in the spring. He is a little
afraid the dishes will be broken be
fore that time and he doen't care now
whether school keeps or not, , ,
W. M. Wiley Seriously III.
Mrs. George Park of this city re
turned ygsterday from a two days'
stay at the sick bed of her father, Win.
M. Wiley of Murray. Mr. Wiley has
been sullering since last July with
dropsy and heart trouble and his
condition is now getting very serious.
His children have been called to the
bedside and the attending physicians
hold little hopes of his living through
out the day. He is quite aged, hav
ing passed the eightieth milestone of
life's way, and his vitality consequent
ly is not great.

WASHINGTON, April -(Special)
It is now regarded as so abso
lutely certain that warfare will break
out between the insurgent ami the
Cannon organization that the two
factions within the republican party
in the houses and the democrats are
maneuvering with a view of obtaining
the best possible stragetic position
when the fight begins. The latest
move suggested is that the rcgiulars
are planning to offer a resolution
calling for the appointment of a com
mittee on committees on the same
day that the insurgents introduce
their resolution declaring the speak
er's chair vacant. Even Speaker
Cannon's most intimate friends now
admit that it is impossible to head off
another conflict with the insurgents
and declare that their only hope is
to put their enemies in a hole. The
plan for a committee on committees
is along this line.
It was agreed among the regulars
that the democrats believing that they
will control the next house, would not
be willing to vote for the committee
on committees because such a reform
would strip the next speaker of prac
tically all of his power. The regulars

Large Crowd at Dane.
The social dance given Saturday
evening by the M. W. A. band proved
to be the one big success of the danc

crowd that has ever been on the floor
of the Coates' halo turned out for the
boys and it was in the "grim grey
dawn of the mornin' after" that the
strains ceased to break forth from the
orchestra's balcony.
The dance was given to fatten the
pocket book of the worthy band and
very good results along that line were
obtained. The boys gave one or two
selections at the corner of Sixth and
Main before the evening's dance be
gan and the result was the (locking
of the dancers to the hall like fllies

RAILROAD MEN'S PAY
RAISED $35,000,000
Substantial Increase In the Salar
ies of Railroad Employees
It is estimated that the general
advance now in progress in the wages
of railroad employees will amount
to $35,000,(100. On account of the
various tonus in which the announce
ments of increases have been made,
it is impossible to arrive at any definite
figure, but the above mav bo t.iken
as a moderate estimate.
The new schedules offered by the
New York Central, the New York
New Haven & Hartford, the Boston
& Albany and the lVnnsylavnia in
volve an aggregate increase of nearly
120,000,000 annually, and these are
only four of the railroads upon which
advances have been announced.
Most of the advances granted since
the first of the year have been per
centage increases. Some, however,
arc in the form of so many cents an
hour, and still others in the form of
so many dollars a month. Two of
the roads have simply announced the
annual total which the advances
granted would cost their treasuries,
without giving details.
The number of men benefited lv
these advances has ranged from a
tew hundred, m the case of some com
panies, to as much as 200.000 in tin.
case of the company with the largest
pay-roll. 1 he number of employees
who have received wage increases
since the first of the year Will not
fall far short of half a million..
Ihe principal advances so f ar mi-
nounccd have been made by the fol
lowing roads:
Deleware, Lackawanna & Western.
Baltimore it Ohio.
Western Maryland.
Lehigh Valley.
Chicago, Indiana k Louisville.
Chicago & Northwestern.
Pennsylvania.
New York, New Haven & Hartford.
Philadelphia fc Reading.
Norfolk k Western.
New York Central and Allied Lines.
Boston & Albany.
Erie.
Atlantic Coast Line.
Boston, Revere Beach &. Lynn.
This ccneral advance in the wnires
of railroad men is the second in a
period of four years. The last pre
vious raise came in 1906-1907. Soon
after, in the fall of 1907. came, iho
panic, but the railroads, despite the
tailing on in business, did not reduce
the wages then. Thus the present
increase comes on top of the one four
years ago.
To illustrate: an emplyec earning
$150 a month in 1900, on a road where
a 10 percent afvance was granted,
received $15 more under the higher
scale. A 7 Tier cent advance thin
year carried his pay to $170.55 a month
i ins represents a net increase of
17.7 per cc;it, over what he received
in 1900.
Today at the Court House.
(From Monday's Dally)
The widow of the late Samuel S.
Johnson has presented a petition at
the county judge's ofilce, in which
she wishes to decline the office of ex

A petition for the administration
of the John G. Hanson estate was filed

Wednesday evening.
Didn't Play Ball.
On account of the cold weather and
snow flcrr'cs the ball game that had
been bS.d tiled between the Platts
mouth High school team and Weep

off. The local lads had arrangements
made with the Nebraska City team
for the day, but for some reason the
engagement could not be filled so the
challenge was accepted to meet the
Weeping Water team at that city.
The game will be played off later in
the season and the return game will
probably be held here. The city team
also cancelled a date they had with
the Union aggregation for yesterday
on account of the cold.

Christian Minister Resigns.
Coming without anv previous in
timation the announcement made yes
terday that the Christum minister
Rev. Luther Moore would resign hi
charge at this place was quite a shock
to the congregation of the Christian
church. The announcement was made
at the morning service by the minister
himself and the the resignation is
to take effect with the completion of
the first Sunday's work of the coming
month.
Rev. Moore, with his family, came
to this place nearly a year and a half
ago and during their residence in
Plattsmouth have made a host of
friends both iu the church and out
of it who are saddened by . the man's
decision to take up work in his chosen
vocation elsewhere.
During the time that Rev. Moore
has had charge of the church at this
place, there has been some fine work
done and a larire number linvo been
added to his congregation. Rev.
Moore is a man of more than ordin
ary attainments and he has been in
the ministry for a number of years.
Ihe qualifications which he pos
sesses are emphasjzed hy the good
work he has done in this city.
The young men's bible class of the
Sunday school known as the loyal
sons which he has charge of, has an
orginization of between thirty and
forty members, most of whom have
become members of the church since
their joining the class, which speaks
well for the work of the teacher. Rev.
Moore and wife and daughter, Miss
Laura, will be missed in the circle of
friends which they have made, as
well as by all the citizens of Platts
mouth. In their departure from thisi
place the good wishes of their many
friends accompany them to whatever
portion of the Lord's vineyard they
may go.
Rev. John E. Swanson, resident of
Wahoo, was in the city yesterday on
his regular visit, preaching at the
Swedish Mission chiurch. Mr. Swan
son left for Omaha this morning where
he has a number of business matters
to attend to in eomnnection with the
Bethany Hospital at that place.
He holds the position as president of
the hospital association which has re
cently taken possession of the old
Presbyterian hospital. The building
has been entirely refitted and over
hauled until it is one of the best in
Omaha. The building, now called
the "Bethany" was just opened last
week.
The revival meetings at the Metho
dist church last evening was pronounc
ed by many to be the best one of the
scries. A delightful solo was sang by
Alva Campbell and a very impressive
sermon was delivered hy his father.
Rev. Canipbell was assisted in the altnr
services services by Rev. Moore and
the largest of any meeting came for
ward to the altar. . The meetings
will continue throughout this week.
