IT ST. LUKE'S
Church Is Crowded With Friends Gathered to Pay Their Last
Tribute to This Kind and Noble Woman.
From Wednesday'! Pally.
The funeral service of Mrs. J. G.
Richey occurred yesterday at 2
o'clock at St. Luke's church, and was
conducted by Canon Burgess, rector
of the church of which Mrs. Richey
had long been a consistent and
valued member.
The church would not hold all of
the friend3 of the deceased who had
come to observe the last rites cele
brated in honor of her memory. A
wealth of beautiful white chrysanthe-!
mums were banked about the altar
and on the casket, silently expressing
the admiration felt by the donors of
k the beautiful Christian character of
.Mrs. Richey.
The music consisted of numbers
furnished by a quartet composed of
Mrs. Britt, Mrs. Donnelly, Mr. Ralph
"White and Mr. B. A. McElwaln.
The pall bearers were: County
Treasurer F. E. Schlater, Clerk of
District Court J. M. Robertson, Coun
ty Cierk D. C. Morgan, Walter White,
C. C. Tarmele and Bert Pollock.
The out of town relatives attend
ing the funeral were Mr. and Mr.
Claud Everett, of Inion; Mr. I'.d. I'.
Grimes and daughter, Mrs. llelea
Mortison; Mr. Arthur Richey, of ln

I write these few lines in the hope
that they may help someone else
whose friend has departed on the
long journey:

Seems to Think that Councilmen
Done Him Injustice.
As Councilman Gravitt, of the
Fifth ward, has seen fit to publicly
criticise some of my work for the
city, although he did not name me, I
feel that in justice to myself some
explanation should be made. The
statement made by the councilman
from tho Fifth last Monday night,
that a man and team had been sent
to mend a portion of the street well
out on the city limits in the Fifth
ward and bad nailed on one board
and turned the team out to graze
and that the council had allowed the
bill for a full day for the work done
there, Is false.
On the day this work was done, I
had my team on the sprinkler and at
4 o'clock, p. m., I started from town
to fix the culvert in the Fifth ward.
I nailed two planks on the culvert and
filled up a large hole with the Bhovel,
and was back to Main street by 5:15,
and the bill for that day allowed by
the'clty council covered an hour and
a half spent on that job. Council
men should give the devil his due In
their speeches before that honorable
body, and Btick to facts and with
stand the inclination to spring some
thing sensational on the public.
I have a similar grievance as to
Councilman Neuman's utterance in
an oration delivered by him at the
last session of the council In which
he expressed pain at seeing my team,
although he did not name me, stand
for two hours on High School Hill
last Saturday.
I will admit the team did stand for
a short time while necessary for me
to work with the shovel filling in the
deep ditch, so that the team could be
put In It, but the team did not stand
a minute longer than was necessary.
And I can assure the councilmen that
If I had taken the team home after
the plowing was done and brought
them back after I had filled in so the
team could pass over it, l woultf have
lost more time than the way I did
proceed.
But, If the council wish It, I will
do the work their way, and take the
team to the barn where it will be
out of sight, for I do not want to be
responsible for causing any member
of the council to worry himself sick
about the team standing. I have
aimed to do the work assigned me in
the way best for the Interests of the
city. Respectfully submitted,
W. B. Rishel.

PLATTSMOUTH SURE
OF THE RIFLE RANGE
A special from Lincoln to the
World-Herald has the following in
reference to the rifle range, so much
talked about, and which will prob
ably be located near Plattsmouth:
"As soon- as the military board ap
pointed to recommend a rifle range
In Nebraska has reported a fight
promises to develop. There Is a
range available near Plattsmouth
that can be purchased for the $2o,
000 appropriated by the federal gov
ernment for this purpose. There 13
also a range at Ashland that Is gen
erally considered more satisfactory,
but it cannot be purchased for the
amount appropriated. The tip has
been passed around that the military
board Is going to recommend the
Plattsmouth grounds. If this is done
the people near Ashland and those
interested In selling the property,
propose to start something. It is
said that the range near Plattsmouth
Is so small that only a few riflemen
can be accommodated at one time
and that the land also lies so near
the river that the eratic Missouri
may come along in flood time and lop
off the $25,000 bit of ground at one
bite."
The grounds most favored by the
board, who came here to view the
different sites In this vicinity, are not
located on the Missouri river bottom
at all. In the next place, the grounds
are extensive, and just as well adapt
ed for the purpose, if not more so, as
those located at or near Ashland.
Another thing, they are located much
nearer Fort Crook, and, therefore,
more accessible for the purpose. A
more beautiful location could not be
desired. Of course there will be
some kicking, no matter where the
range may be located, and Platts
mouth is as able to stand all the kick
ing that the opponents of the location
can extend to us, as any other town.

MANLEY ELEVATOR
CASE LOSES OUT
Clerk of the District Court James
M. Robertson this morning received
from the clerk of the supreme court
a mandate Informing the clerk that
the clerk of the supreme court had
received a mandate from the supreme
court of the United States to the
effect that the judgment of the su
preme court of the state of Nebraska
against the Missouri Pacific Railway
company, affirming a decision of the
district court of this county, had been
reversed in the federal court, and the
costs, amounting to the sum of
$244.50 had been taxed to the State
of Nebraska.
The mandate of the Nebraska
supreme court to this court Is to the
effect that the plaintiff In the dis
trict court of Cass county has had
Judgment rendered in that court re
versing the judgment of the district
court and taxing to plaintiff the
costs In the supreme court, amount
Ing to the sum of $24 . 65, in addition
to the costs in the supreme court of
the JLTnited States of $214.50.
The case will be remembered as
having been commenced by the Man
ly Elevator company against the M
P. R. R. company for a $500 penalty
allowed by a statute of the state
against a common carrier failing to
provide sidetrack facilities, and was
begun In the name of the State of
Nebraska, as the law required. The
mandate does not state the decision
of the federal rourt, but most likely
the statute was found unconstltu
tional. The matter was taken up with
the railway commission later, and ad
justed.

May Have It Amputated.
"Bud" Clark, assistant foreman of
the Missouri Pacific bridge gang,
now at work on the Piatt bridge,
had the index finger of his right
hand seriously mashed yesterday af
ternoon. The workmen were engaged
In handling some heavy timber when
Mr. Clark had his finger caught be
tween two of the planks, almost sev
ering the finger at the first Joint. It
Is not known yet as to whether or
not the Injured member will have to
be amputated or not, as the surgeon
attending him prefers to wait a day
or two before deciding. Mr. Clark
will be compelled to take a lay off
for several days, feeling that It Is
very fortunate that he did not have
more of the fingers Injured.

HOME OF SATISFACTION
FIND COUNTY FARM IN
EKGELLENT CONDITION
After tho session of the board of
county commissioners yesterday, the
members went in a body to the coun
ty farm for the purpose of inspecting
the building, and crops and In a gen
eral way ascertain what the county's
efficient "poor farm" superintendent,
Mr. Tarns, has done with his time
during the year. The board returned
to the- city about 5 o'clock, p. m
more than pleased with Mr. Tarn's
work. They found he had on. hand
about forty head of hogs, a number
of head of cattle, two good teams of
horses, about 1,500 bushels" of corn,!1''08
600 bushels of wheat, four or five
hundred bushels of oats and other
products. The farm, for the first
time, will this year be about self sup
porting. The interior of the resi
dence was found comfortable and In
viting, every part of it clean and san
itary. The heating plant just put In
this fall Is giving the best of satisfac
tion, making the home of the coun
ty's poor a desirable place to live.
The ten or twelve Inmates were never
better cared for than at present.
The board is certainly to be con
gratulated on the showing Mr. Tarns
has made., And he has agreed to
paint the interior of the building,
which has become smoked from the
stoves in the past years, provided the
commissioners will furnish the paint.
This Improvement will be made at
once.
