A collar, 52 inches long In a diagonal THE HOME OF DAS ENGINE FACTORY STILL SEEMS Committee of the Commercial Club Still Lacks Some $600 of the Amount Necessary to Secure Plant. From Saturday's Dally. The committee appointed by the Commercial club, consisting of T. H. Pollock, E. A. Wurl and Henry Schneider, assisted by Mr. L. C. Sharp, the well Informed machine man of Omaha, exercised decidedly strong efforts yesterday In the In terests of the new gas engine factory proposition now before the Commer cial club and the good citizens of Plattsmouth. The time Is growing very short and the gentleman at the head of the factory over In Iowa Is very anxious to ascertain what our people are doing with his proposi tion so that he may be able to govern his future steps accordingly, and this is In no way contrary to the average successful business man. Valuable! time Is getting away from him and he does not wish to enlarge his plant In his present location, as be intends to move somewhere, and that within the next year or less. The demand for his engine is growing and the Commercial club have strong evi dence of this fact from correspond ence In their possession, and he wants to get settled in order to en large his plant and Increase the out put of the finished product to com ply with the demand. We are re liably Informed that he has orders now for more engines than he is pre pared to manufacture. Such a state of affairs surely places any business man in a very undesirable position, and he Is surely Justified In wanting to know Just what we are doing with his proposition. Mr. L. C. Sharp has also thorough ly examined the engine now on exhi bition and has been thoroughly tried, r.nd he pronounces It as good In every particular. Mr. Sharp's Judg ment on machinery of all kinds Is too well known to the people of riattsmouth for us to dwell on any further comment, and as for our selves we accept the proposition as good and believe that our people should do likewise. This Is but one step In the right direction to secure future factories to which there Is no limit, In fact there Is no limit to the output of the one now In view. A general iron foundry and casting plant will be placed in connection with the engine plant, which alone Is a winner and will employ several men. There Is' also a chance to secure the services of Mr. Sharp In tiie manufacturing line in Platts a lit $.' " ! tf-ft I fill i y s wwM wmM wants the best : $9,50 genuine Presto gray. Cashprlc SATISFACTION PROPOSITION SLIGHTLY III DOUBT mouth once more, as he has leased his Omaha plant and for the present Is at leisure and open for most any proposition that looks good to him In the machine manufacturing line. He says Plattsmouth is a most desir able location for many small fac tories and It 13 the duty of our peo ple to accept the one now In sight. So let us act and act now. A few years ago i:ie town of Waterloo, Iowa, established a small gas engine plant, in a similar man ner to tho one now on foot here, with a few men employed, and today this same small factory is employing over 130 people, and the increase in Waterloo's population Is a greater per cent than any town In the state, and the Waterloo engine Is sold In all parts of the land, and being man ufactured by the hundreds. What ha3 been done In other towns can certainly be done for Plattsmouth, if our people will only come to the frout with a little financial aid at the time It Is needed, and now Is the time. The Journal has explained the proposition now before the Commer cial club a number of times and all are familiar with the terms, so all that Is necessary at this time is to say that the hustling committee are about $600.00 short of the desired amount to secure the factory, and this must be raised soon or once more we lose out in a mighty good cause, surely our people win not let such a Binall amount prove a stumbling block in the progressive roadway to success. No, this cannot be true, and yet the hustling com mittee are gcttiug very much dis couraged over the ' outlook. They have requested the Journal to appeal to the smaller Investor at this time, many of whom have expressed a will ingness to contribute $5 and f 10, or even more. All who feel like assist ing them in this way and to either amount will please call on Mr. E. A. Wurl at his store on Sixth street, or Mr. II. A. Schneider at the postofflce, who will gladly explain the proposi tion and accept the amount you feel like offering, but let It be done soon, as the time Is very short. This Is the Commercial club's final appeal to you, so do not let this small amount stop the securing of the first factory for Plattsmouth. "Act, Man, and Act Now!" EH FOR . IWLJ WEDS" Methodist Glee Club and Choir Entertain Married Members From Saturday' Pally. The M. E. choir and glee club last evening tendered a reception to the four young married couples, mem bers of the choir, who have been married within the past few months. The guests of honor were: Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Hayes, Mr. and Mrs. Max Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Tuey and Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Howet er. The reception being held at the home of Miss Etha Crabill. Two of the leading features of the evening's entertainment consisted first of a cartoon contest, in which the best artists of the musical organ ization were given an opportunity to show their skill in depicting on the black board some feature of a given member of some incident of such member's career. Some surprises were sprung on the unsuspecting musicians. Rev. V. L. Austin showed marked skill with the crayon, and depicted the lost I trunk of one of the guests of honor so vividly as to be quite startling in its life-like appearance. Miss Ellen Windham portrayed the features of another of the guests of honor with such life-like similarity that it was difficult to prevent the membership from taking the picture in lieu of the original. Music was a part of the entertain ment, a solopbeing rendered by each of the brides who are all splendid singers. The second interesting feature was a realistic story in four thrilling chapters, Into which was woven incidents and occurrences in the wedding tours of each of the young couples. Blanks were left In the narrative to be filled by the guests, with some catchy sentence provided for the occasion by the thoughtful hostess and her able as sistants. We are sorry that our limited space will not allow us to reproduce the story today, but at some future time we may do so. Lovely refreshments crowned this evening of enjoyment, and at a very late hour the choir and glee club ad journed, voting Miss Crabill, the princess of entertainers. JURY FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF IN INSURANGE CASE From Saturday's Dally. The Jury In the case pending In the district court, in which Vesta Clark sued the Bankers' Accident Insurance company for the accident al death of her husband by falling from a telephone pole at Union last October, brought in a verdict last evening for the plaintiff In the sum of $1,000.00. The defendant com pany made a strong fight against the Judgment, claiming that the applica tion was never signed by the plain tiff's husband, and that he never paid the $3.00 entrance fee, but that it was paid by the brother of the de ceased, and that the deceased never claimed any benefit under the policy. The defendant offered to produce the policy In evidence, but the same was ruleij out on the objection of the plaintiff's counsel. The court Instructed the Jury in substance, that it did not matter whether the application was signed by the' deceased insured, and that it was Immaterial whether tho admis sion fee was paid by the Insured or some one for hlin, provided the com pany accepted the money for the pur pose of purchasing insurance, and provided also that the person to whom the money was paid had au thority to transact business and sell Insurance for the company. The de fendant's council, Clark and Rob ertson, submitted a few questions for the jury to answer, which Is not a usual proceeding. After the Jury was polled, and the decision an nounced, the court excused the mem bers from further service until the 1U1) Inst.
