School Notes.
Twelve girls and four, boys In the
blgh school room were neither ab
sent nor tardy last month. The girls
attended 91 and the boys 90 per
cent of the total numbers of days of
school.
A test examination will be held
tke fourth Friday of each school
month. We are unable to make our
monthly report for the pupil unless
he is present to tako the examina
tion. The next examination will be
October 29. Parents will kindly do
the school a favor by having their
children in school on those days.
A loose-leaf record book has been
introduced into the school. By means
of this a pupil's grades, attendance,
deportment, etc., are kept on a single
sheet of paper during his entire
course through the grades. This Is
a' great saver of time to principals
and teachers in looking up former
grades of pupils.

Another Murder in Omaha.
Another murder was committed In
Omaha last night. A man by the
name of Henry R. Frankland was
found along the railroad tracks near
the Union depot, and when discover
ed he was almost dead, but had life
sufficient to tell that he was mur
dered and robbed, and shortly after
died. From the Bee we note that
one William 'full, who claims to have
been employed with a Burlington
bridge gang, is one of the suspects.
The Bee says:
"W. Tull, who says he has been
working at Plattsmouth on a bridge,
for the Burlington, has been arrested
on suspicion of having been con
nected with the case. He was seen
around the station during the day
with a negro and at other times with
a white man, who answers the de
scription of Frankland. Tull says
that he and a man named Jim Frank
land quit their Jobs on the bridge
gang and came to Omaha yesterday
morning to draw their pay. They
spent the day making purchases and
visiting saloons. He alleges that Jim
Frankland left Omaha late yesterday
afternoon for Oconto, la., but his
packages were found in the station.
He would not Identify the murdered
man as his partner. It is evident that
the man was employed in railroad
work of some kind, as a Western
Union message was found in his
pocket which read:
"Chicago, Oct. 12. Impossible to
get pass. (Signed)
"LUCKY FRANKLAND.
A notation was found on the bot
tom of the message which Instructed
him to telephone the contents of the
message to other parties. The mes
sage was sent to Omaha. Tull was
examined by J. W. Adams, superin
tendent of terminals of the Union
Station company and by the police.
He told conflicting stories, and the
detectives believe they will be able to
implicate him In the case. He is be
ing held until after the coroner's in
vestigation." Pleased With South Dakota. .
Philip Thlerolf, the clothing man,
returned from Beadle county, South
Dakota, last evening well pleased
with his Investment there. Mr. Thler
olf thinks the Cass county men who
own land there are foolish to sell
now, as the price is constantly rais
Ing, and settlers are coming in by
the score. New houses and barns are
going up in all parts of the county
and permanent residents are finding
homes there. To give some idea of
the crowds around the depots, Mr.
Thlerolf said that he attempted to
secure a ticket for a sleeper on re
turn and the office was Jammed full
of people, and the crowd extended
out of the doors on each side of the
depot and continued so for a long
time. The hotels were simply packed
full and the halls lined with cots on
which reposed the sleeping forms of
land seekers. The most of these peo
ple were from Illinois and Iowa and
not an African nor American Indian
among them. Land values are mount
ing the, scale. A half section a few
miles north of Huron, which three
years ago sold for $27.50 per acre, is
now bringing $80. J. G. Meisinger,
who Is interested with Mr. 'Thlerolf
in real estate there, accompanied
him on this trip,' as did also J. M.
Meisinger. Both gentlemen Were, as
well pleased with what they srtw .as

THE MARKET REPORT
Dally market letter from the M.
L. Williams Commission company,
Coates block, Plattsmouth, Neb.:
Wheat The wheat market was
decidedly bullish throughout the ses
sion, the strong milling demand, as
well as a demand for foreign trade
causing the price to stiffen from the
pentng and the high mark was 2 Vic
above the opening bid. ' -' '
Corn Was in sympathy with
w
heat and was lively trading at ad
vanced prices. The outside demand
for corn also served to stiffen the
market on this cereal.
Oats The oats pit did Us share of
the trading and was very active, the
price tending upward out of sym
pathy with the other two products.

! ' Market Gossip.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean , says:
Wheat It was the gossip among
wheat traders after the close last

They said that there had been an ad

the season and that they had taken

The trade la constantly . looking for

Unveiling at Weseott's.
There was a monster crowd at C.
E. WeBCott's Sons store yesterday
afternoon to witness the unveiling of
the clock, as each expected to be the
lucky person holding the check for

G. H. Waring and F. H. Kltter of
the Nebraska Lighting company were
In the city last evening to meet a
special committee of the city council
and members of the Commercial
club to discuss the light and power
question. The question before the
council committee Is an important
one, and the committee is using its
best endeavors to guard the interests
of the public. The Commercial club
is equally anxious to do something
for the business interests of the city,
and it has a proposition from M. E.
Smith & Co. of Omaha and Kansas
City to put in an overall and shirt
factory with a capacity of 100 ma
chines and as many operators, pro
vided It can be sure of electric power
during the twenty-four hour day. The
Nebraska Light company can furnish
this power by running at a loss of its
big boiler and machinery. It pro
poses to do this, however, if it se
cures the lighting contract for the
city, which it offered to make last
January, which was to light the city
for the sum of $1,900 per annum.
The light company also will require
the city to abandon its ordinance on
price of gas, which sets the price at
$1.50 and the company will fix the
maximum at $1.75, reducing It from
the old rate of $2 to that sum. The
M. E. Smith proposition has also this
condition, that it be furnished a hall
or room in which to operate Its ma
chines, and these men propose to
make their contract for three years,
after which they will buy the build
ing. It will be remembered that the

matter was agitated to some extent
during the last winter, and the city
was about to close a deal with the
light company when one Bortenlinger
got into the deal and offered to light
the city for $1,500 per annum, but
when the time, came he could not de
liver the goods.' Bortenlinger met the
Comemrcial club and the city council
In Coates' hall and promulgated a
scheme for cold storage and light
plant combined, which was so vision
ary that no one with money cared to
take hold of it. At the same time it
developed that interested citizens had
corresponded with other cities of the
size of Plattsmouth and found that
they were getting light and power at
a lower rate than was offered here.
The whole matter was allowed to
drop for the time being, and has been
allowed to slumber since.
The M. E. Smith proposition Is a
new phase of the matter and well .
worth serious consideration, and
It ought not to be turned down ex
cept for grave reasons. The writer
is Informed that the Smith proposi
tion is only good until next Satur
day, as the company have offers from
several other points with equally as
good facilities as offered here. The.
company is ready to open its factory
within a few weeks, and will employ
not less than 100 girls at the sewing
machines at good wages. A commit
tee from the Commercial club of this
city was In conversation with a rep
