Ituys Fine Auto.
The Crabill-Cummins Automobile
company has Just concluded the sale
of a fine Ford touring car to Phil E.
Becker for his use In traveling be
tween the city and his farm, west of
the city. The new machine Is one
of the standard Ford cars, than
which there Is no better on the mar
ket. It Is a twenty-horse power ma
chine with capacity for five passeng
ers and Is a handsome one, as well
as strongly made and durable. The
body of the car Is highly polished
black and it makes an effective
showing with the brass fittings
which grace it. The Ford touring
care has a reputation second to none
as a stylli.h and comfortable car and
the entire Ford line stands at the
head in endurance and durability.
'Mr. Reeker made no mistake when
he choose this handsome little car
from among many competitors. In
price the Ford does not rank with
the high priced machines, but Is
among the lowest, and especially bo
when Its superior grade Is consid
ered. The machine which Mr.
Recker purchased Is an J 850 one.
Aged IMiiyer Injured.
The Journal learns with regret
that Editor Charles L. Graves of the
Union Ledger a few days since es
sayed to play basesall with disas
trous results to himself. The aged
editor seemed to believe he was as
young and supple as some forty
years ago when he UBed to be the
star pitcher for all the ball teams In
this neighborhood, nnd he went Into
the game determined to. make good.
In sliding to first base, tie broke one
of his ankle bones and badly Injured
his foot. Charles ought to know the
rules have changed slnco he last
played, and It Is .no longer regarded
as good form to slide to first. How
ever, he was put out Just the same,
both figuratively and literally and
mourns more over the former than
tho latter. Charley ts one of the
diamond veterans and could not
withstand temptation when the
game came round. He has our sin
cere sympathy, for we know how
It Is.

MAKES A VISIT
Enters Home of
and Secure
A belated case of burglary was
reported yesterday afternoon to the
police, the victims being Ren C.
Hyde and family. The facts seem
to Indicate that the burglary and
robbery took place last Monday
night, although this Is doubtful, as
it could have taken place the night
previous. Mr. and Mrs. Hyde were
away from home at the time of the
occurrence, having been passengers
for Sterling, Colo., the last of th)
week. At the time the affair oc
curred the house was occupied by
theirhildren, several In number,
and a young lady from Glenwood,
la., who Is a relative of theirs.
According to those in the house,
they were drugged by the adminis
tration of chloroform or some simi
lar drug, they stating that they
smelled something of that nature In
the house on Monday night and that
they were soon sound asleep. Then
It was that some on look the
screen off an open window and en
tered the house. The children did
not notify the police, but waited the
return of Mr. and Mrs. Hyde from
their Colorado trip," when they told
them.
They claimed that the loss con
sisted of $6 which they had in the
houBo for running expenses. Other
articles weer not molested, the
mauraudera seeming to care for
nothing but money. Mr. and Mrs.
Hyde returned yesterday morning
on No. 4, and as Bonn as they reach
ed homo they learned of the crime.
This, however, was not until In the
afternoon, and Mr. Hyde made an
More Improvements.
Improvements Is the order of Uie
day at tho Plattsmoutn Steam
Laurdry, George Ballanco, the
owner, has Just completed tho In
stallation of a steam manglo In the
plant, making a great many changes
In order to do this. This enables
the plant to turn out work as fine
as any In the state. The new ma
chine cost him $500, and quite a bit
more to Install It, but It adds fully
that much or more to the value of
the plnnt. This is the first Bteam
manglo ever put Into service In this
ity, and makes a distinct step In
advance In the laundry business
heie. It Is a large sized machine,
Mr. Ballance finding that a smaller
machlno would not answer the pur
pose, and that It could not handle
his business, which Is so rapidly In
creasing. The mangle was given a
little work yesterday merely to test
It and this afternoon It was further
worked, but It will be several days
yet before It can be said to be en
tirely ready for use. The employes
of the laundry have had little ex
perience In handling these machines
before, but they are ready and am
bitious to Btudy them and learn, and
this means that no time will elapse
before they will be doing as well as
the best. Mr. Rollanco also contem
plates In tho Immediate futuro the
installation of a domestic finishing
machine for collars and cuffs, so
that ho can turn out work tho equal
In every respect to the metropolitan
laundrlcB. He slates that his trade
has very largely objected to tho do
mestic finish, but that tho demand
for this style pf work Is growing
slowly and soon will compel the
adding of this new mnchlnery. Mr.
Ballanco Is one of the city's most
enterprising business men and ho
seeks to give tho public what they
want. With this end In view he has
mado many Investments and addi
tions to the laundry plant and fig
ures on many more soon.

extended investigation. He found
the place where the burglars had
effected their entrance, but was of
the opinion that it would be useless
to notify the police owing to the
length of time which had elapsed.
Later In the day the children and
Mrs. Hyde noticed a stranger In tha
neighborhood, apparently making
fin attempt to keep In hiding and
otherwise acting strangely, and It
was decided to call the police. A
call was accordingly sent down town
and Officer Rird answered, going up
on WIntersteen hill, where Mr. Hyde
lives, and searching the neighbor
hood, but with unavailing results.
The man had evidently grown sus
picious or had concluded to change
his base for some other reason, as
he could nowhere be found. The
surroundings of the ilydo homo are
such that It is comparatively easy
for a person to hide and escape the
officers, there being underbruHh and
h!5h weeds and grass scattered over
the neighborhood.
Owing to the length of time elaps
ing between the burglary and its
report to the police little hope Is en
tertained of getting trace of the
burglars. Some people profess tq
believe the case may be In some
way related to the recent slugging
of Will Grcle. which also took place
on WIntersteen hill, and that both
crimes when traced down will be
found to have been the product ot
local talent. If this should be the
case extraordinary Bteps should be
taken to apprehend the offender and
a good, heavy sentence Imposed
upon him.
Enjoying Himself.
Ye news scribe Is In receipt of a
postal card from T. S. Clifford from
Santa Catallna Islands, Cal., In
which he says "delighted; would be
satisfied, if I had a wife, to stick a
while." Wouldn't that Jar you? We
were fearful to lot Teddy get away
and out to tho conBt by himself, and
It wouldn't surprise us now to hear
he had found a soul mate there aiJ
condjd3d to stay. We are also In
receipt of a week's roples of an Los
Angeles paper containing full ac
counts of the proreedlngs of the
Elks grand lodge, and they make
handsome and interesting souenlrs
of the great gathering. Brother
Clifford was a delegate and was an
ardent advocate of the election of
J. U. Sammls of LeMars, la., as
grand exalted ruler. Mr. Sammls
won over August (Garry) Hermann
of Cincinnati, o., by a comfortable
majority.
