THE FUTURE PLATTSMOUTH
Soms of Our Citizens are Realizing the
Fact That Our City Is Taking
cn Quite a Boom
MANY NEW RESIDENCES BEING ERECTED
And the Indications Point la the Spirit of
Improvement In Sections cf
cf the City
When a stranger enters a town and
tinds the carpenters, painters and me
chanics in general, busy, the first
thing that enters his mind is: "The
town is on the boom." While this, to
sorr.e extent, is very true, there are
hut few people right here in the
citv who realize the fact that Platts
mouth is on a boom a sure enough
boom nomine ncuciuu.
Head the real estate transfers and you
will soon discover that residence prop
erty in town is changing hands every
day, and new people are coming in
daily to make their homes amontr us.
Five years ago this spring when the
Journal family came to Plattsmouth,
a person could rent residence property
at almost their own figures. That is
not the case today. Every house in
town, tit to live in, is occupied. Many
of the houses that were going to wreck
have been purcnased by new comers
and repaired in line shape. No one it
seems, is afraid to invest in Platts
mouth property and the same lias ad
vanced one-half more than it was five
years ago.
The Journal is not talking to hear
itself talk, but it feels rejoiced to note
the situation, for we believed at the
time of coming here that Plattsmouth
would releave herself from the rut in
which she has so long been endeavoring
to extricate herself. While the pres
ent state of affairs cannot be credited
to any one peison. much credit is due
to the city administration forstarting
the ball in the direction of public im
provements. And while many at the
time this work was commenced, were
kicking against the policy that the
city authorities had adopted. But in
the face of the kicking "like a mole
kick at an elephant," the authorities
went right on improving the streets
and sidewalks, and today the worst
kickers are willing to acknowledge
that Mayor Gering, backed by a level
headed council, have done more good
work for the city than has been done
in ten years preceding. All this work
has enhancad the value of every piece
of property, and when home-seekers
come here and see the excellent condi
tion in which we are situated, they
will remain. We say keep up the good
work and the future of Plattsmouth
will still look much brighter.
'Pull for the town in. which you
live," is a good motto, and we believe
the citizens of Plattsmouth come near
er following these injunctions today
than they have for many years. We
have not the largest town in Nebraska
but we can have one of the best towns
if the citizens choose to make it so.
This is the biggest season in the
history of our store, especially in the
millinery department. Some may ask
why this U the fact, which is easily
explained. We never carried such a
fine line before, and the designs this
season are the very latest. We still
hare a large variety left, and would
suggest that you call now and look
them over. M. Fanoer.

In Honor of Judge Chapman.
At the court house last evening, as
per previous announcement, the bar
of Cass county gathered at the court
room to show their respects to the late
Judge S. M. Chapman. Judge .lessen
presided at the services and short ad
dresses were made by his many years
associate members of the bar, as fol
lows: Wra. DelesDenrnier of Elm
wood, P. O. Dwyer, J. L. Root, Byron
Clark, C. A. Bawls, A. L. Tidd, R. B.
Windham, A. J. Beeson and C. S. Polk.
Rev. Burgess also delivered a short
address Mathew r.ering, A. J. Bee
son and R. B. Windham, who were ap
pointed as the resolution committee,
had prepared the same and were read
and adopted by the meeting. A num
ber of the attorneys were not in at
tendance, among whom were County
Judge II. P. Travis and Matthew Ger
ing. Mr. Gering was detained longer
than he anticipated on legal business
out at Beatrice. Follwing are the
resolutions as adopted:
If it please the court and gentlemen of
the bar, your committee appointed
in the matter of resolutions relating
to the decease of Hon. S. M. Chap
man, beg leave to submit the follow
ing: We all appreciate that in the death
of Judge Chapman, this bar, one of
the oldest in the state, has lost its
oldest practitioner. Judge Chapman
coming to Plattsmouth in an early
day has been an interesting, an
unique character, and a dominant
factor in the practice before this bar.
As an able lawyer, and as judge on the
bench he has been recognized as a
force in jurisprudence not only in Cass
county but in the state. Coming to
Nebraska beiore statehood and fresh
from the army to which he had given
four years service, be became at once
identified with the political interests
of the territory and immediately
following of the state, when politics
was the all absorbing topic; later on
by virtue of the confidence imposed in
him by the voters of Cass county, he
served two terms in the state senate,
and left his imprint on the legislation
of the commonwealth. Mr. Chapman
was always prominent asa citizen of the
community, taking a positive position
on all questions affecting the public
welfare, tenaciously holding them
against all conflicting opinions. lie
was a man of strong impulses, but al
ways open hearted and generous
generous to a fault. Such in brief is
an outline of the deceased life, since
taking up his residence in Nebraska.
Therefore, be it resolved, that in the
death of Judge S. M. Chapman, the
Cass county bar mourns the loss of an
able member, this community a most
generous hearted citizen, and his fam
ily a most affectionate and loving hus
band and father; and be it further re
solved, that this report be placed upon
record in this court, and copies there
of to be furnished the city papers and
the family of the deceased. Respect
fullo submitted. Allen J. Beeson
R. B. Windham
Matthew Geuino.
A Good Showing.
Judge Archer has completed his re
port for the month of April, and it
shows a total of thirteen arrests
eleven of which paid fines, and two
committed on a jail sentence. The
total amount of cash received from
fines was 875.50. Such facts as the
above certainly demonstrate that
Judge Archer is the right man in the
right place.

TWO BOYS STILLjMISSIHG
While a Mystery Surrounds Their Absence
Parents Believe They Were Drowned.
Nothing has been heard from the
two boys, who suddenly disappeared
from their homes near Ashland, early
in the winter, an account of which ap
peared in the Journal at the time.
Some people entertained the idea of
drowning and reports came that they
had been seen at Kansas City and
other points. But recently nothing
has been heard from the missing boys.
The following special from Ashland
brings forth some evidence that the
youngsters might have drowned: "C.
B. Burt, a B. & M. track walker, and
a companion named McCartney, found
a boy's coat-tangled in some bushes
near the mouth of Salt creek last Fri
day which belonged to Roscoe Wort
man, the 14 year-old boy, who, with a
companion, Frank Dewey, disappeared
last Christmas day. O.J. Wortman,
the boy's father, identified the coat as
his son's. T'le boys had taken their
skates and gone down to the creek and
were never seen afterwards. It was
thought by many that they had run
away. Young Wortman bad a habit
of doing so, and many yet believe that
they were not drowned. Their tracks
were noticed on the ice where they
had been skating. There were air
holes in the ice in the vicinity of where
they had been skating. The parents
of the Wortman boy have at last given
up all hope, the finding of the coat
settling the matter in their minds. It
is believed that one of the boys fell
through the ice and the other in try
ing to save him also went under."

an impression. When the answercame
it read: "Sit down on a pan of dough."
Next advertisement he answered
read: "How to double your money in
six months. lie was told to convert
his money into bills, fold them and
thus double his money.
Next he sent for twelve useful house
hold articles and got a package of
needles.
He was slow to learn, so he sent $1
to find out "how to get rich." "Work
hard and never spend a cent." That
stopped him.
But his brother wrote to find out
how to write without a pen and ink.
He was told to use a lead pencil.
He paid $1 to learn how to live with
out work, and was told on a postal card:
"Fish for easy marks as we do."

The Spirit of Spring.
And now comes the season when the
mind cf man goes wandering. The
soul rebels against the yoke, the body
cries out under the burden and the
immortal part of the human creature
asserts itself in a myriad fancies, long
ings, impulses and inspirations.
Why laugli at the spring poet? He
Is not a freak. He is the springtime
chrystals of every human soul that
lives and is not dead. Who that dwells
among the tall buildings caunot sym
pati.e with the poet who wrote:
Ami I sitll in my In ait
I am sli-U of four walls ami a i'allliitr:
I ni't'il the. sky; I have Imslliess with the irra--v
I tiiii-tt up ami away where the hawk Is wlieellnt;
Ami the hlnw clouds pass.
Mr. Webster, attempting to tell us
what spring is, tamely and lamely
says it is "the season of the year when
plants begin to grow." How Inade
quate! Spring is that period of the
year when the slumbering spirit of
man arouses Itself and listens for a
moment for the music of the spheres.
Spring is that point '.n the endless
race around the circle which marks
the beginning of another lap. It is
the perennial crisis in the life of every
creature that lives when life stirs
strongest. It is the time when hope
smiles into wearied or yearning eyes
from every bud and blossom; whispers
to heavy hearts in every perfume
laden zephyr that blows from the
"Gardens of Gull in their bloom,"
caresses bruised, plodding feet by
every gentle undulation of every ten
der blade of grass.
Spring! It is the recurrent hour in
the endless cycle of eternities when
the Spirit of the Universe breathes
anew upon the spark of the Immortal
that is in us all.
A Former Resident Dead.
Our friend, Frank McNurlin of Mt.
Pleasant precinct, was in the city to
day on business and gave the Journal
a call. Mr. McNurlin received a tele
gram Tuesday morning conveying the
sad intelliger.ee that his uncle, A. L.
Frizzell, died Monday night at his
home near Oakland, Iowb. The de
ceased came to Cass county in 18(;r,
and settled on a farm near Rock Bluffs,
now owned by Bennett Chriswisser,
and lived on this place for a number
of years before removing to Iowa.
There is no doubt many livinn in the
vicinity of Hock who knew Mr Friz
zell. Remembers the Journal.
Miss Eva Fox, on her return home
Monday from California, brought with
her numerous samples of fruit raised
in the Golden state. Among which
were several fine oranges grown by
our old friend W..I. Ilesser, near Rial
to, and the Journal was favored with
one of them. Mr. Ilesser formerly re
sided south of Plattsmouth, and his
friends will be pleased to learn that
he and his family are well and pros
pering. The sample we have tested
indicates that Mr. Ilesser knows how
to grow fine oranges.
Governor Sheldon's Son Injured.
The Lincoln Star says: "Anson
Sheldon, the two-year-old son of the
governor, fell in such a manner last
Saturday as to catch his eye-lid on the
hook used to hold the lace curtain in
place. The hook penetrated the lid
and as the little fellow pulled back at
the hurt, the eye-lid was slit in a very
painful manner. The wound was
dressed carefully and will heal with
out injuring the sight of the eye."
Plattsmouth Boy Honored.
From the university notes of the
State Journal we clip the following
that will be read with interest by the
many friends of "Billie" at home,
which certainly demonstrates that he
is an active worker in the law depart
ment of the state university: "The
law students met yesterday and elect
ed William Robinson as business man
ager of the law book which is to be is
sued later in the season. The other
officers were elected some time ago."
