has under consideration a move which
will add much to the beauty of the city,
if it is finally adopted and carried
through, and that is the plan of plant
ing trees along the avenues in the city.
This will be not only ornamental but
useful in protecting the walks of the

In District Court.
In district court Tuesday a. m. Judge
Travis disposed of several minor mat
ters. In the case of Whelan vs. the
City of Plattsmouth, a motion of the
plaintiff to strike certain matter from
the answer of the defendant was argued
and submitted.
The case of Krampien vs. Krampien
et al. The default of Mark Krampien,
Maggie M. Gallup and John Gallup was
entered. Trial. The court found the
issues in favor of the plaintilF, the
findings of fact appearing in the decree.
Judgment in favor of the plaintilf was
given as prayed for in the petition.
This afternoon proof was being made
in the case of J.P. Falter et al vs.Wm.
H. Wright et al, the case being one to
set aside certain deeds executed by Mr.'
Falter and his wife to Wright and from
Wright to other parties, and also to
quiet the title to the land conveyed by
these several deeds in Mr. and Mrs.
Falter. The ground for the case is
that of fraud on the part of Wright
and others. This case grew out of the
transfer of certain property in this city
and vicinity to Wright in exchange for
property in Oklahoma which it turned
out Wright could not give good title to.
An auxiliary suit to this one is that of
Falter vs. Schneider an injunction suit
brought to restrain Register of Deeds
Schneider irom recording deeds to this
property executed by Wright and
others to innocent parties. Both cases
were default cases, the defendants
failing to make an appearance or to
answer to the petitions.
A Beautiful Sight.
Those being up Monday night after
ten o'clock had an opportunity to wit
ness one of the most brilliant displays
of the aurora borealis or northern lights
seen in this latitude for a long time.
The rays were first noticed right around
ten o'clock and looked at first as if it
was the reflection of a fire in Omaha.
The brightness gradually spead over
the northern sky until shortly after
eleven the entire heavens in that quar
ter seemed a blaze of light. A little
later came the first of the streamers,
long, radiant, parti-colored streams of
light flashing up and fading away and
at times reaching almost to the zenith.
There were red, orange, green, purple
and in fact almost every color of the
rainbow visible at one time or another
and it was a sight inspiring and wonder
ful. The display continued until nearly
two o'clock in the morning, shifting
from the northwest to the northeast,
and gradually fading after about one
o'clock until it finally vanished. The
effect of the brilliant light was to make
most of the heavens appear as inky
black, save where the stars shown out
in unwonted brilliancy.
Return From Western Trip.
Uncle George Horn and son, Harry,
and Philip Hild, of Pekin, Illinois, who
have been spending the past week visit
ing with relatives near Plainview and
Crtighton, in the northern part of the
state, returned last Monday evening.
they had a delightful trip so far as hav- I
ing a nice time with their folks was
concerned, but the weather was very
disagreeable and all felt it badly as they
had left their overcoats behind. They
encountered a great deal of wet weath
er and had some very cold weather on
top of that, so they did not enjoy that
portion of it as much as they might.
Mr. Hild expects to remain in this city
and vicinity until next Friday, when he
figures on returning to his home. They
found everyone up north well and pros
perous, and like the outlook there firet
rate.
Who Took Them
Some miscreant without the fear of
i the Celebrated Archer Brand of Justice
! in his heart, either Monday eve. or early
i Tuesday a. m. invaded the justice shop
and mutilated and made wav with
seveial rubber stamps. One stamp
read "Justice of the Peace," another
read "Received my fees ir Full" while
the third was "September 2. I'.miS."
The despoiler of the temple of justi a
had best return the purloined stamps
under sundry pains and penalties to be
rneted out by the stern hand of justice.
The court says that if the party taking
these stamps will return them there
will be something paid. If it was in
tended as a joke, it is rather an incon
venient one for Judge Archer who will
have to have these stamps replaced, and
if it was done maliciously, the party
certainly let him ofF light as the actual
loss is very small. It was a mighy
small trick however.

fortunate enough to be the guests.
The luncheon itself was an elegant
three course affair which was prepared
only as Mrs. Larson can prepare such
luxuries. There was every thing the
market affords to tempt the dainty
taste of the guests and no one could
possibly have improved upon the courses
the charming hostess had prepared.
