Very Much of w Frost.
The sensational mail robbery be
tween Lincoln and this city which
was featured so largely by some mls
guided parties throughout this end of

of a frost. This morning's papers con
tain a dispatch from Ralston, Neb.,
which states In effect that there was
no mall robbery but the two missing
sacks of Lincoln mall had been put
off at Ralston, where they were taken
to the postofflco. That night which
wns Monday, the Ralston office was
burglarized and the sacks taken out
and ripped open along with the rest.
This Bettles the great mystery. The
men making the raid on the Ralston
office have not yet been apprehended.

Marriage of Miss Mata Puis to
Mr. Fritz Lutz at Home of
Bride's Parents.
On Wednesday, February 15, 1910,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William
Puis, three miles northwest of Mur
ray, was the scene of one of the most
beautiful weddings of the season, in
the union of their daughter. Miss
Mata to Mr. Fritz Lutz.
Promptly at one o'clock the wed
ding procession entered the beautiful
ly decorated parlor, while Mrs. Dr. G.
I L Gilmore, of Murray, played a clas
sical wedding 'march. Beneath a bow
er of roses, the groom, accompanied
by his best man, Louis Melslnger,
stopped, and were met by the bride
and bridesmaid, Miss Laura Puis,
Rev. Spreigel, for many years pastor
of the Lutheran church In Cass coun
ty, officiated. The ring ceremony
was pronounced, which was very
beautiful as well as impressive.
The bride was beautifully gowned
In white silk, and carried a boquet
of carnations and bride's roses. The
bridesmaid was beautifully attired in
bastlcte and carried a bouquet of car
nations and roses. The groom as
well as the best man were attired In
the black suits. After the ceremony
and congratulations, refreshments,
delicious and bountiful, were served.

I
A Matter Which Needs the At
teniion of Every Farmer.
Dan Kiser, one of the prominent
citizens of Mynard, came in last even
ing and was a passenger for the west
this morning, going as far as Ash
land for the day. Mr. Kiser informed
the Journal erporter that he believed
the farmers would greatly appreciate
the information if they were told that
the seed corn for the coming year was
absolutely worthless. 'Mr. Kiser
states that this is undoubtedly the
case as he has tested it and finds it
so. He also states that the leading
farm papers of this section of the
country are authority for the state
ment. According to him the cause
is the heavy and sudden freeze which
struck this country in October last.
This freeze killed all the life In the
kernels and this year the corn will
be exceedingly scarce and should be
thoroughly tested. Mr. Kiser states
that his experience with the corn he
has tested carries this out. In con
nection with Mr. Klser'8 statement
the following from the Iowa Home
stead, a thoroughly reliable farm
journal, Is of Interest and corrobor
ates his statement:
"The Homestead knowns from the
reports received from piactically the
entire corn belt that good seed corn
Is a scarce article. We know that
hile a large percentage of corn grow,
ers have already taken up the matter
of testing the seed, yet on the other
hand, possibly the great majority are
allowing the matter to go over until
the month of March. Whether the
seed corn is tested now or later, wc
know that nearly every man who de
pends upon corn that was in the field
at the time of the severe frosts has p. 1
disappointment in store for him. An
Instance came under our notice where
good-looking corn tested out 8 per
cent. In other words, eight ears In
this case out of 100 were suitable for
seed. There were a number of weak
ears, but weak corn Is very little bet
ter than corn that obsolutely refuses
to grow at all.
"Nothing should be taken for
granted this year, because even the
expert who thinks he can tell by ap
pearance whether corn will grow or
not is liable to be greatly mistaken.
We have examined more than one ear
of corn that looked as If the germ
were perfect, only to find upon test
ing that it was not vital. Our only
hope is that every man who cannot
buy good seed will bo able to find the
good ears in the field or in his crib,
by a system of testing. Pick out
enough good-looking ears to fill your
tester, test It out under normal condi
tions and discard everything that does
not appeal to you as "strong," after
which the task must be repeated over
and over again. Even if only ten ears
In 100 can be found that will grow,
this percentage will more than Justify
all the labor involved. It may necessi
tate putting ten times as much labor
on your corn than you anticipated,
but with a convenient tester to start
with, even then the task Is not an im
possible one. Putting the corn In the
tested can be done by children Just
as well as not, though an adult should
be present to supervise the work so
that everything is done with the finest
possible discrimination. (
"The Homestead has simply this to
say In conculslon, that the man who
does not thoroughly test his seed corn
this year before planting it, will re
ceive no pity from hlB neighbors when
he finds next summer that he has a
stand that cannot possibly make a
profitable crop."
B. It. Danilter from near Murray
was in the city today looking after
business matters nnd visiting with
friends. While hero ho called upon
the Journnl and spent n few moments
in greeting his old friends, lie re

CLUB MEETS
Reports of the Various Com
mittees Read aud Meelimg
was Addressed by Judge
H. D. Travis.
Promptly at 8 o'clock last night
President Falter of the commercial
club called that body to order and
what is unusual and graitfying to
relate,' a quorum of members were
present and the assembly began busi
ness punctually.
The minutes of the last meeting
having been read and approved, the
president ordered that the secretary
read the minutes of the board of
directors' meetings, three of which
have been held since the last regular
meeting of the club.
A communication was read from
Mr. A. R. Dow of Salem, Ohio, who
was in this city about two months
ago, and mention of whose visit here
was made as being contacted with
the plans of the city in regard to
the control of the Plattsmouth Water
company.
As the present water franchise has
about expired, Mr. Dow wishes to be
assured of similar support before he
assumes control of the business. Mr.
Dow's letter contained a copy of the
franchise which he wished to have
placed before the people of this city
for their approval. This franchise is
similar to the one the company is
now operating under, and no doubt
will be satisfactory. It Is to be hoped
that Mr. Dow will come here as he
Is the kind of citizen this city needs,
and his coming will mean the acquls
tlon of a fine family to our popula
tion and an Investment of no mean
proportions in a business way.
The matter of the franchise was
turned over to a committee from the
commercial club composed ot Messrs.
Tldd, Pollock and Windham to meet
and deliberate the matter with the
mayor and the water committee.
Chairman Tidd of the publicity
committee, rendered a report which
shows that this committee has gotten
to work and gives an Idea of what
may be expected from It in the fu
ture. President Falter reported that the
matter of a ferry road had been tak
en up by the club with the county
commissioners and that the route had
been gone over by County Surveyor
Patterson and approved by him.
This leaves it up to the commis
sioners to decide upon and look af
ter a matter which is of prime im
portance to Cass county, as well as
o the city of Plattsmouth. The road
n its present condition is impassable
at times and unsatisfactory In every
respect.
In the matter of M. E. Smith &
Co., it developed that this firm de
sires to increase its working force at
the factory in this city and at present
needs about 25 more young women
at once. A representative of M. E.
Smith & Co., spoke to the commercial
club very favorably in regard to the
treatment this firm has been accord
ed while in this city and an
nounced that their desire was to in-
crease the. working force to 120 hands
a material advancement in the pros
perity and population of the city, it is
up to the people as boosters to se
cure families and workers for the
factory.
About 200 surplus booster buttons
remain on hand were ordered turned
over to the advertising committee.
Among the speakers for the even
ing was Judge H. D. Travis, who
spoke at some length on the work
that other western towns are doing
and In this connection heartily com
mended that accomplished by our own
comercial club. Judge Travis has
visited about 25 towns and offered
many useful suggestions which were
well received and will doubtless bear
fruit. Mr. Travis was selected to act
as chairman of the landscape and city
Improvement committee which will
confer with the village Improvement
society and take steps toward beau
tifying the city this spring and sum
mer. A suggestion was made by Mr. Tidd
that a legislature committee be select
ed to look after local legislation and
to look forward to tho coming session
of the state legislature, with regard
to what legislation that body may
enart concerning cltloB of the second
class. The club will tak this mat
tor up at once. Tho treasurer's re
port was read and showed a balance
of funds on hand amounting to $152.
CU. An luteinized account of receipt!
and expenditures was also presented.
On tho whole tin? mooting was a
very successful nnd enthusiastic
ono and a good attendance attested
the interest felt. On account of the
larger amount of work ponding It
was decided not to wiat for the regu
lar meeting but call an extra meet
ing two weeks hence. Annoueement
of the exact date will appear in the
Journal booh.

William Haberman Sends an In
teresting Letter to the
Journal.
The Journal Is pleased to receive a
letter from Its good friend William
Haberman formerly of this city but
now located at Enid, Okla., where he
Is In the employ of W. W. Coates in
his hardware business. The letter is
printed herewith as it is of general
Interest to many people he e. It
shows that Mr. Haberman is well lo
cated and that he apparently is in
an easy position with Mr. Coatee.
His many friends will be glad to note
his progress and rust that he will
continue to find matters come easily
and prosperously to him. The letter
speaks for itself:
Enid, Okla., Feb. 16, 1910.
Dear Mr. Bates:
I am here In Enid now for over
six weeks and think it Is time to let
you hear something from me, becauso
you know I am an old Democrat and
you have treated me always fair and
took my part if people was against
me. I am well and in good health
and like it here very well. Enid U
a fine town of about 22,000 popula
tion, fine avenues and streets, all laid
out with concrete, fine churches and
court house and very nice business
blocks. There is however, a good
many colored people here. Some
times you see Indians, too, coming la
town from the reservation, but they
leave always the town before sun
down.' Mr. Coates is the owner of one of
the finest hardware stores I have
even seen before. He doe's a splendid
business and employes twenty-fiv
men and they are always busy. Th
trade Is most in whoelsale as Imple
ments, harness, incubators, stoves,
sewing machines, &c. For my part
I do not work hard, help a good deal
in the office and around the stor
room, which Is, as the picture 6hows,
very large. Oklahoma is a dry coun
try, no saloons, but people are used
to It now and are happy. Next week
they begin the construction of a new
packing house, the town is flourish
ing and many, new stores and build
ings are under construction. If you
intend to put something in the paper
bout me, please send me a copy down
and I will write to you some times.
Weather is fine, I don't call this wla
ter, farmers are plowing since the
middle of January. My best regards
to the office force and all my gooii
friends from the democratic party.
I remain very respecfully,
Wilhelm Haberman.
