Yestere'en was more or :ess busy
for the Toros. First and foremost
came our old acquaintance, Irwin
Atterberry, or Atterbury, as the case
might be. Irwin was among those
who proceeded during that period
of the day between 7 a. m. and 8 p.
m. to fill his hide with various
kinds of malt, spirituous and vinous
liquors, whereat he waxed strong
with the big talk and made the wel
kin ring, as the poet hath so aptly
put It, with his eloquence In fact,
Irwin raised up his voice in loud ac
claim, so that it seemeth he meant
to talk to some one in Jericho or
Wheehawken, and verily, he made
the hills sound and resound with
the silvery notes of his voice attuned
to the key of G in the upper cleft.
And in so waxing he roused El Toro
of the Noche Henry Trout, who be
sought to find him what was ailing
of Irwin. Scenting the cause of Ir
win's strident tones, he hurried him
to gaol where he lapsed into somnol
ency and his tongue becanio silent in
slumber. Anon came the day and
the sun riding high in the heavens,
spoke of the bright, happy world and
the singing birds, and with it rose
Irwin, somewhat the worse for wear
and more or less shattered In his
nerve3. Afterwards came the- Chief
Toro and haled him into court, there
to face imperial Jestice, represented
by Jedge Archer, whose mien has
become bo great a terror to evil
doers in this community. Herein
Irwin quivered and would fain fall
to stand for fear lest he be cast back
again among the denizens which In
fest the jail. At last, lead by the
firm and kindly tones of the Jedge,
he admitted his errors and besought
the coort to give him time to go to
work as a harvest hand, even into
the conntryslde and earn enough to
square himself with jestice. After
deliberation Jedge Archer thought it
was best to do even so and he passed
a fine of five and three pieces of sil
ver upon him, giving him lief to hie
him to the harvest field within one
hour, there to toil and sweat until
said sum was earned and paid Into
the capacious maw of the public till.
But Irwin was not all. One C. C.
Gentry, whose occupation In life w as
given as advance agent for one of
those at Tactions which represent
life by moving pictures, also filled
upon the uow of the fountain of
Bacchus and waxed fullern a goat
and went his way butting about the
highways and the byways and the
lanes and the alleys of the city, un
til the god of slumber touched down
his eyelids and he sank Into repose
beneath a spreading oak near the
corner of Sixth and Vine street.
Some of the populace hurrying them
home in the gloaming annexed his
Tecumbent form in their gaze and
Tiurried word to El Toro Henry
Trout and Cludad Toro John Cory of
the whereabouts of C. C.'s couch.
Hurrying thereto on wings of the
-wind, so to speak, the Toros gath
red C. C. In. At the gaol where he
was invited to finish his nap, he gave
El Toro Trout the baleful glare and
bespoke of strange things and do
Ings which would take place to that
person when he, the baleler, escaped
the toils of the law. This morn he
presented not the baleful gleam, but
was as mild and repentent as the
-veriest lambkin. He also was some-
. what Jarred by the Jedge, who an
nexed the usual five and to him and
suspended the sentence on condition
that C. C. bill the town for his clr
ous and made himself a scarce nura
her hereabouts, which same he vow
d he would glady do, seeming to be
much pleased that the coort was in a
lenient mood.
if-i .
iei, one more unrortunate wts
about and upon the highways yes
termorn. Who he was and whence
he came Is not known yet; surely he
was what the poet has preached as
u-u-t-z-. Wending his way down the
main thoroughfare of the city he
performed sundry and several mir
acles, one of which well nigh de-
throned the reason of a young wom
an who was leading a small child
up the boulevard. Said person, whose
name for short Is called "Bugs,"
suddenly espied a dog upon the way
and at once sought to start a fight
with It, barking and growling In a
very real manner, so much' so that
the dog fled In alarm and said young
woman who, was of the passing
throng, gathered tho small child and
besought safety in flight. Passing
along said human dog met Mr.. Way
bright, a staid, upright and .honor
able citizen, and drawing Mm to one
side he confided that ho had some
thousands of plunks to leave loose
of. fixing the number at tho phenom-
enal sum of sixty thousand: Mr.
. -Wayhrlght, strange to say, seemed
to regard ye human nnlmal as a fnko
" and manifested small Interest In his
disposed of tho slmoleons. Passing
on this man of strange and tangled
intellect dlflappear'ed: and ' has not
been seen since. . A well known stu
dent of human nature passing at
tributed his condition to an attack
or bugs, possibly su?r!!!'l,l by
John Barleycorn. Howsomever, it
will remain a mystery.
DOVT MISS IT.
ial Bargains to Be Hail at This
Great Sale.
The Journal several days since
spcke cf the clearance sale of West
cott's Sons and then stated that this
sale was as genuine a bargain sale
as ever took place anywhere in the
United States. That statement may
seem strong, but if you will Inves
tigate for yourself you will back the
statement up. This firm is experi
menting to see if the people really
appreciate genuine bargains and
their success so far has impressed
them with the belief they do. Their
sales have been well attended and
they have sold the goods. The sale
Is not in one line, but virtually in
everything they carry. And the one
who imagines the lines are old stock
wants to get rid of that idea. The
goods are new and brought in espe
cially for the sale. They are up-to-the-minute,
dependable goods sold
by a local firm whom you aa know
and who are reliable people, and will
back their' word. The writer visited
the store and saw the goods and he
bought some of them, for they are
worth several times what was asked
for them. Think of the Duchess
trouser, a standard brand the world
over at $1.43, $1.99 and $2.48. You
ppy up to $3 for worse A big line
of summer suits with three months
of summer yet to go on for $7, $9,
$12 and $15. Omaha can't touch it
Don't fail to Bee the line of men s
shirts, real 75c and $1 values for
39c. Then comes the big bargain
$1.25 and $1.50 shirts at 69c an
actual fact and the latest patterns
Men's gowns for hot weather, real
good goods at 54c. A great big line
of straw hats worth up to $3 for
48c. Panama hats, the real article,
at $2.99 never before sold o
cheap. Boy's shirts for the ridiculous
price of 23c and So on clear down
the line. No such a sale has ev-
taken place as this in Plattsmouth
before, and if people appreciate their
opportunity they will patronize the
sale and lay in a supply of what they
need In the clothing and furnishing
line. Investigation Is all that Is
asked by Westeott's Sons and they
will leave it to the people themselves
whether they make good on their
promises or not. Mr. C. C. West-
cott this morning received a tele
gram from a prominent shirt house
offering him a big line of shirts at
bargain prices, and he didn't waste
time, but wired to send them on and
he gives the people of Plattsmouth
the benefit of the bargain This
the kind of enterprise which will
make Plattsmouth and it helps the
people who patronize the sales.

Funeral of An Honored Citizen.
In Monday's Issue we gave a brief
sketch of the life of our pioneer cit
izen and friend, Perry Gass yes
terday he was followed to his last
long resting place by many who had
known and esteemed his in life, and
who wished to pay this last tribute
of friendship and love to the depart
ed. At the home where he had lived
happily so many years friends spoke
with tearful voices of his love for
his family and for little children,
and of many thoughtful deeds of
kindness performed by him. Dr.
Daird spoke comforting words and
bis knowledge of the fact that al
though late In life Mr. Gass had be
come a Christian and a sincere be
liever In the church of which he had
been a faithful attendant for so
many years. Favorite hymns were
8ung .by. a . choir composed of Mrs.
Mae Morgan, Mrs. Donnelly, Mr. Far
ley and Judge Douglas, with Mra.
Farley at the piano. Many friends
sent floral ocerlngs, the Christian
Endeavor society of the Presby
terian church and the W, C. T. U.
being among the number. A Bhock
of wheat fully rlpo from Mr. A. Gbrs
and family, with a beautiful wreath
from Miss Ollvo Gass wcro on tho
casket, whose silver plate bore the
slmplo Inscription "Father." The
pallbearers were Dr. Stuart Living
ston, James K. Pollock, J. R. Rum
merfleld, D. C. Morgan, J. M. Rob
ertson and O. C. Dovey. They bore
the casket to the waiting hearse and
followed by friends and neighbors
he whom wo mourned was laid away
In beautiful Oak Hill cemetery by
the side of Ms wife, who preceded
bin many years ago. So one by one
they slip away to tho great un
known; there are few remaining.
A little more laughter, a few more
tears,
And wo shall have told our liicrens
lng years.
Tho book Is closed, and the prayers
aro said,
And wo are part of tho countless
dead.
Thrleo happy, then, If snmo soul can
say
"I live because ho has passed my
way." .
