PROSPECTS
SEEM BRIGHT
Plattsmouth Has a Fair Opportunity of Se
curing a Canning Factory.
PARTIES TO BE HERE TODAY
Recommendedto Come Here by M. H. Manss,
Industrial Commissioner of the Burlington.
GIVE THE VISITORS A HEARTY WELCOME
Plattsmouth is to have another fac
tory: That is to say. another posibili
ty of securing a factory. The pleasing
news is contained in the following let
ter received by W. W. Oatcs from Mr.
W. II. Manss. Industrial Commission
er for the Burlington:
Chicago. August lb I'. ''".
Mr. V.'. W. Coates.
President Commercial Club
Di:i: Sin:
The Peru Ca mi i ng C :n pany of IVru.
Indiana, or which Mr. II. A. Edwards
is president, are peeking a location for
a canning plant in your part of the
ci untry.
Mr. Kd wards and Mr. .Joseph Berg
n.an. assistant manager, expect to
leave Chicago on Wednesday and be in
'lattsmouth Thursday. I expect to
see the gentlemen in my otl'ice and will
direct them to you.
I hope you can make sat istactory ar
rangements to locate them at Platts
mouth on our tracks.
Yours sincerely,
V. II. Man.
I nd ust rial ( 'ommissioner.
These gentlemen are expected to ar
rive in the city some time today, and
will be taken by a committee from the
commercial club to look over the sites
fc r factories offered by I'lattsniouth.
It is hard to see where a better loca
tion could be secured for a canning
factory. I'lattsniouth is located at a
central point on the great main lineof
a vast railroad which extends its arms
to tens of thousands of square miles of
the world's most fertile soil. In our
immediate vicinity we can raise any
thing required by a canning factory.
We have the raw material, we have
ti e labor, we have the fuel, we have
the railroad facilities, and lastly, we
have the market at hand, as yet unin
vaded by other industries of this kind.
The active members of the commer
cial club have kept agitating this mat
ter for years, and have tried to push
I'lattsniouth and its advantages before
the eyes of manufacturers and capi
talists. Some of them have gone to
considerable expense in the matter of
stationary and clerical work to say
nothing or traveling expenses and hire
of livery rigs. The day is dawning
when western towns are to become
great factory centers, and when that
ti:ne comes I'lattsniouth can reap the
rn.it of the sowing of past years.

Non-ResidentsHave the Advantage.
According to CIj -r Warden Cuter.
ik n-rcsident hunters will hereafter
have tli' advantage over the l"cal uim
rol. lie says the new law limiting
liuiiters to ten prairie chickens during
the month of September applies to
non-resident hunters, who by another
section are allowed to take lift v wan e
birds out or the state. The icu resi
dent hunters lse no rights that they
possessed under the former law which
permitted them to take away fifty
chickens during October and Noeni
her. The new law provides that the
open season shall commence one month
earlier but limits hunter to ten birds
in any one day.
A MOST HAPPY GREETING
H. D. Barr and Mrs. S. A. Hardsell. Who
Are Brother end Sister, Meet Af
ter Twenty Years' Separation
II. I). Barr of the Nehawka Register
came up from that village today to
meet his sister, Mrs. S. A. Iladsell,
and her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Ed
wards. who arrived in this city last
Tuesday from Leipsic, Ohio, and are
now quests of William Wynn and
family.
Iick issued the Register a day early
this week in order that he might
spend a day or two w ith his sister and
ncice, whom he had not seen for twen
ty years. When he called at the Jour
nal oilice this morning his counte
nance betokened happiness and joy.
He had not yet seen his relatives but
we could imagine his feeling upon
meeting one so near and dear to him
after so long a separation.
Mr. and Mrs. Iladsell and family re
sided here and at Weeping Water for
several years and twenty years ago re
moved to t heir former home in Ohio,
w here, sometime last w inter, Mr. Ilad
sell died. lie was an old-time printer
and worked at his trade both here and
at Weeping Water, and was well
known anions the older residents of
hot h places.
The meeting of brother and sister
can best be imagined by the Journal
readers by placing themselves as they
were placed a thousand miles apart
for twenty long years.
But the meeting was a most joyful
one. and it is said that both brother
and sister wept tears of happiness
when they embraced each other.
It is unnecessary to remark that af
ter the tirst greeting the next few
hours were spent in recounting the
many incidents that have transpired
ssnce their last meeting and recalling
the happy hours they had spent while
Mr. and Mrs. Iladsell were residents
of Cass county. Deader, if you have
never experienced such a meeting you
are not qualified to judge of the happi
ness of such an occasion.
County Commissioners.
The resolution providing for the re
pair of the Platte river bridge at
Louisville was passed by the county
commissioners at their meeting yester
day. The bill provides for the repair
of the bridge by Cass and Sarpy county
together. If the latter should refuse
to join with Cass, the latter will pro
ceed with the work and take steps to
recover from Ssrpy comity its proper
share of the expenses.
The resignation of Dr. McArthur as
physician of district 1 was accepted,
and Dr. J. B. Martin appointed in his
place.

FALLS DOWN
THE ELEAVTOR
Mrs. Peariman Has a Miraculous Escape
from Serious Inujry.
BUT NO BONES ARE BROKEN
She Sustains Several Cuts and Painful
Bruises Falls Eleven Feet
to th; Basement.
At about ! o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs. I. l'earlman stepped off the
elevator landing in Pearlman's store
and fell down the shaft a distance of
eleven feet. She sustained a bad cut
over the right eye, a wound back of
the ear, besides bruises and a sprain of
the back, but by a seeming miracle, no
bories were broken.
Mrs. l'earlman went down to feed
the chickens in the morning. All the
rest of the family were upstairs. Her
son. Ike, said that when she was ready
to come up .she should go to the eleva
tor and he would-pull her up. The ele
vator is on the east side of the building
and runs from the cellar to the second
iloor.
Having completed her work, Mrs.
l'earlman went through the store to
t he dark elevator shaft. Those above
heard her call out "all right" just as
she stepped to where she thought the
elevator was. Then they heard the
breaking of wood and a thud as she
fell to the iKittom of the shaft.
The elevator was at the S2cond floor
where Ike locked it and rushed to his
mother's aid. He found her stunned
by the fall but not unconscious. Her
wounds were pouring forth blood pro
fusely. She was clinging tightly to
one of the elevator ropes.
She was taken from the shaft, the
elevator was brought down and Mr.
l'earlman and the boys took her up to
the living apartments on the second
floor. Dr. Cook was summoned and
found, to the surprise of everyone tiiat
no bones were broken.
Mrs. l'earlman passed a restless
night but is much better this morning
and is receiving congratulations from
her many friends upon her miraculous
escape.
The elevator shaft has been respon
sible for one or two accidents hereto
fore. Mr. l'earlman says he is going
to put a heavy iron gate at each land
ing to preclude the possibility of fu
ture accidents.
Death at Weeping Water.
A special from Weeping Water says:
"Willis Ladd died here this morning
about S::.0 o'clock. He had been in
poor health for some time, but was
able to be about and attend to his
business until last Saturday when he
was taken with hemorrhage of the
stomach, which resulted in his death
this morning. Mr. Ladd was thirty-
two years old, and had always lived
here, his parents coming here from
Ohio thirty-six 'years ago. Mr. Ladd
never married, but lived with his par
ents until about three years ago when
his father died, and he and his mother
have kept housesince then. He leaves
an aged mother here, and one brother,
Charles, of Chicago, and one sister,
Mrs. Andrews of Pleasant Dale, Neb."
Merry Class Picnic.
Jess Terry chartered a carryall
and drove out to E. . Todd's
grove with his Sunday school class
yesterday. The jolly crowd left the
Christian church at 10 o'clock with
well tilled baskets and everything to
make the day a pleasant one.
Arriving at the picnic grounds the
children quickly scattered inspecting
the place and then proceeded to play
games and have a general good time.

of the river until they do. Mr. Young
has offered a reward of 100 for the
recovery of the body. Nebraska City

The search f r the body f Frank
Vouiik.', wlin was drowned in the iher
on last Friday afternoon while in
swimming, in company with Hay
Clinkenbeard, is still continued. The
searchers worked all day Saturday and
Sunday and this morning it was re
sumed. Nets, hooks and ot her tilings
were used in trying to get it. Dyna
mite was used to try and see what it
would do. A piece of flesh was brought
up on one or the rakes and it was pro
nounced human flesh. It is thought

A VERY EXCITING RUNAWAY
A Team Belonging to J. M. Meisinger
Takes a Spin Down Third Street.
A team of horses attached to a buggy
belonging to J. M. Meisinger broke
the strap w ith w hich they were tied
this morning and ran away. Mrs. J.
M. Meisinger and daughter, Ida, came
to town this morning and stopped at
the home of M iss Teresa Hemple on
south Third street. The team was
tied with a light strap. It is supposed
they were worried by the tiies into
breaking loose.
The animals plunged down Third
street and across Main. At the Goos
House a two horse spring wagon was
tied and the runaway collided with
the rear wheels upsetting the buggy.
Louie Thomas who happened to be
near ran to the heads of the excited
animals which had already stopped.
The tongue was broken to pieces, one
wheel badly cracked, the fifth wheel
and spring were bent and one how was
broken. Some coffee and apples which
were in the buggy were scattered
about the street.
A new tongue was secured and put
into the buggy and the ladies drove
the runaways home just as though
nothing had happened.
This team is one of the linest driv
ing teams that comes to Plattsmouth,
in which the family take great pride
and we are informed that this is the
first time they ever ran away.
That Rifle Range.
C. A. Bawls and Henry Geringdrove
out to the site of the proposed rifle
rangethis morning and met the mili
tary party who drove dow n from Fort
Crook. This party consisted of Major
General Wint, his aide, two captains
and Col Pratt of Fort Crooir. After
looking carefully over the ground Gen
eral Wint expressed himself as highly
pleased and promised to send engineers
out in the near future to survey the
ground. Messrs. Pawls and Gering
brought back the impression that the
army men w ill select this as the site of
the permanent range.
Happily Wedded.
Mr. Edward Weaver and Miss Ella
M. Sparts were united in marriage this
morning at the rectory of St. Luke's
church, Canon Burgessofficiating. The

A Floater Found.
Sunday morning it was announced
that the body of a child had been
found on a sandbar one mile south of
Minersville and it was thought to be
the body of Frank Young, who was
drowned in the river at this point Fri
day afternoon. Coroner Karstens was
notified and he sent men down to have
the body brought to the city and taken
to his undertaking establishment. An
investigation showed that it was the
remains of a boy about 11 years old,
was 4 feet and t; inches in heightb, had
brown hair, was broad across the
shoulders, small across the hips, and
had small feet. There was a scar on
the leftshinn. It issupposed that the
body was that of a boy w ho was drown
ed at Plattsmouth, as it gave indica
tions of having been in the water for
about three weeks and was badly de
composed. Nebraska City News.

mutes, and as Canon Burgess says, "as
cunning as a fox." The announce

"The Buyer" Wasn't In.
A traveling man walked into a Main
st reel store Tuerday morning and in
quired of f he yi ung lady clerk:
'Is the buyer in?"
The young lady believes In making a
good showing and didn't want to dis
play any ignorance of t he stock. She.
began to look diligently through the
different piles of magazines, trying to
assume an expression which should
say. "1-know- it- is lie re - some w here
don't-see-w here-it-got-to."
He was a very polite traveling man,
and she a pretty girl. So he stood si
lent and watched the peculiar actions
ofthit odd young lady. And as lie
watched h.s wonder grew, for shegave
no answer to his question but only
kept nervously looking through the
piles of periodicals. But the travel
ing man's time was valuable, so finally
lie again inquired in his gentlest tone:
"Ilm! I say, could you tell me is the
buyer in?"
Again the clerk looked up a moment
and then with a final sweep of the eye
over the magazines remarked in a
voice rich with regret:
"I don't believe it'has come in yet
for this month."
Fortunately the traveling man had
seen the war. III? was accustomed to
scenes of excitement and sudden sur
prise. He only fell against the coun
ter and soon recovered himself 'I he
clerk looked at him as though asking
if there was anything else. This had
the effect of rousing him and with an
effort he straightened his face, which
was fairly blossoming into grins, and
managed to ask :
"Is the gentleman in t he store who
purchases the goods?"
This was plain enough. The clerk
realized her error. She gasped out a
negative and the drummer hurried
out and around the corner where he
could give way to Ids laughter unres
trained. THE BODY HAS BEEN FOUND
