"So the steamboat is coming upas the Lora, with a cargo not for Oma ha but for Kansas City, from which point it comes without a cargo to Om aha. "But the directors are now begin ning to set up and take notice, and will meet to complete organization Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Commercial club. John L. Kennedy and Charles II.

Under an opinion of Attorney Gen eral Thompson fraternal beneficiary societies are to be classed as insurance companies and they will not be com pelled to file lists of agents under the new law passed at the last session o: the legislature. This law imposes on all corporations except railroads and insurance companies the duty of filing lists of their agents with the secre tary of state in order to permit ser vice in case of suit. As the fraternal beneficiary societies are counted as in surance companies the state auditor is permitted by law to accept service for them. fi ' njshmn owr r?-Mr uia writes abou.l "J JL?

FOR DISTURBING THE PEACE Arrainged in Justice Archer's Court and Assessed $10.00 and Costs. j Last niuht at about the hjr ( mid-1 nignt, i'onceman Mater received a hurry-up message to the west parr of the city, as therp seemed ro some do mestic troubles existing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Maz-ie. Police man Slater lost no time in reaching the scene or disturbance, and found two women at the gate, the wife of Louis and her mother, and both were crying, complaining of very cruel treatment at the hands of the form er's nusband. Louis was immediately placed under arrest and as he promis- to appear in Justice Archer's court this morning, he was permitted to re main at home. Last evening both women complain ed of all sorts of cruel treatment, but neither would appear in court this morning to assist in the prosecution, but Judge Archer found sufficient evi dence to enter a charge of disturbing the peace and therefore assessed against Louis a fine of $10 and costs, in all amounting to something over thir teen dollars.

The Plattsmouth Boat Club, com posed of Grovenor Dovey, Ray Travis and Frank Smith, have experienced no end of trouble since they came into posession of their new boat, known as "Shamrock," the Second. They were not only turned over into the water a few days ago, but have had various other lines of grief; the latest of which was a little experience with river rats. The last time the boys took a short pleasure ride on tbe Big Muddy they anchored tneir boat near trie side or a rock, and the continuous incoming tide kept the boat in an up and down motion, sufficient to wear a bole in tbe side of the boat, which was only dis covered last evening by Smith and Dovey, and was pretty well patched up ere the news was broken to Travis, and when Ray appeared upen the scene they explained to him that the damage was done by river rats, and the only thing for them to do was to secure traps and endeavor to catch the boat-damaging little animals, and young Travis was elected to secure the traps. Ray did not tumble to tbe joke until be had made an effort to secure the traps at various Platts mouth stores. Don't mention "river rats" to Ray or you will have trouble on the spot.

Harry Graves, who has been connect ed with the Journal force for tbe past three months, will resign his position tomorrow night. lie is called home to accept a partnership with his fath er in the publication of the Union Led ger, and will take entire charge of tbe mechanical department of that paper. In further explanation we print what The Ledger has to say in regard to the change: "With this issue The Ledger will close its 18th year, and next week some younger energy will be added to its management, Harry Graves, the edit or s son, resigning from the Platts mouth Journal force and returning to become a partner in the business of this oflice. The present editor has been "tied up" with the work almost continuously the past seventeen years, and preservation of health renders it necessary that most of the mechanical work be shifted toyounger shoulders." Sentence Arrested. A Nebraska City special of April 25, says: "An oider of tbe supreme court arresting the carrying out the sentence of the district court against John P. Bridges, who was convicted of incest with his fourteen-year-old daughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years, was received by the district clerk last evening and the bond of the prisoner fixed at $5,000. A proper show Ing will be made before the supreme court on May 7, that the bail is exces sive and an attempt made to get it reduced. The convicted man is still in jail here and is trying to secure his release until the supreme court can hear and decide the case." Fire Near Maple Grove. Last Wednesday Mr. Tolson, living on the George Colving place, fired a field of corn stalks to burn them off. The wind blew rather fierce for this sort of business and it was but a short time till the fire spread so fast that it reached Mr. Tolson 's home and before it could be gotten under control or could be subdued, it reached the smoke house and the shop In which Mr. Tolson made brooms, was destroy ed, together with some machinery. Mr. Tolson is a poor man and we un derstand that his loss will reach sev eral hundred dollars. LrOviisville Krorn the Courier. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Stulken, April It, a boy.

Rev. ! ie.'d of Union, preached at the Baptist church hereTuesday even ing. Arrangements are being made by the local congregation to have Rev. Field preach here every two weeks. Someone either accidently dropped a match or purposely set fire to the leaves and dry grass at the lower edge of River View cemetery about 5:00 Sunday afternoon. The wind was blowing from tbe southwest and the fire run over the cemetery doing much damage to the shrubbery and plants. Had it not been discovered just at the time it was, the building at the ceme tery would have been burned. It was an occurrence much to be regretted as the damage to shrubbery was quite general all over the main part of the cemtery. There should be a heavy fine imposed on anyone setting fire in the cemetery without proper facilities to cotrol it. WHEN THE KETLTE SINGS It's a sign of coal satisfaction.
