State Highway Head.
Lincoln, March 20. The good roads
legislation which the present session
of the legislature has been preparing
to t'liact lor Btveral weeks will prob
ably he disposed of this atternoou.
The five bills dtawn up by thn special
Joint committee on roads and bridge.,
which was made up of both'senators
and representatives, have been made
a special order and will bo taken up
iu committee of the whole.
1 ho bllis, II. It. 6t;t, 670, 671, C72 and
671!, embody several dilterenl system
oi road ovim seeing and it is not prob
able tl; a t till ol them will lie pushed.
'1 ho provisions of all the others do
jiend to soiuo extent upon the enact
ment of II. It. '.!, whic h establishes a
slate highway coimn .siun. This com
mission Is to have tla; engineer of the
state board ol' irrigation us its engi
neer and the members shall be thu
nowu nor, the aUuinoy general and t;iei
commissioner of pubac iumls and
buildings. Three deputy highway
commissioners uie to do the exetuUvo
work of tho commission.
What Dills Provide.
The other bills include a state aid
measure, a bill to piovicle lor tiie col
lection of a county road fund, one to
nl'ow the commutation of the road
labor tux at li u day and one to pro
vide for couuty load commissioner and
deputy.
The stale aid bill Is the one upon
which a tight will probably be made.
The expense ol' giving help out ol the
state treasury to different counties
whic h may w ed extra funds to (level
op their roads would amount to about
Jliiu.iiiiO a year. 'I he hill, as drawn,
nlves the county board ol each county
the power to send resolutions to the
Hate highway commission asking for
tho inipi ovement of any section of
road in its county outside of un incor
porated village or city. If the state
board upprjve, tho county county
board Bends In a survey of the ro; d
and plans and specifications of the liu
proveinents. The road improvement
district Is made up then by the county
board and all lauds abutting upon or
adjacent to tbe new road arc cm
Placed In the district. The owners ot
these lands are charged with 15 per
nt of the rod of the Improvement
protest from 50 per cent of these
property owners will hold up the Irn
liiovemeut indefinitely.
Alter the Improvement Is made the
st ite pays one half of the bill. The
other half Is paid by the county, which
may Issue bonds, assess benefits and
make a special assessment of 15 pet
cut upon ptoperty owners within the
iiprovement district.
The Joint committee suimiltted this
bl'l with the hope that It would pass,
but several members of the committee
are In doubt as to its feasibility and It
Is expeeteil to develop a fight at least.

A (iiMiil Idea.
Would it not be a good Idea for the
Commercial club, at their next reg
ular meeting, to select a committee,
say of three, to visit the general pas
senger department of the Missouri
Pacific railway and Intercede with
that department in reference to re
storing the "merry-go-round" train,.
It was just what the people living on,
the western line wanted, and It was
good train for them to get to
Plattsmouth and home the same day.
Besides, It brought more business to
town. It Is the belief of many that
if tbe proper effort la made this train
can be restored.

Young Man Suddenly Stricken
Down With Pneumonia.
After an illness of but a few days
with pneumonia, Mr. George Paymj
died Saturday evening about 5 o'clock
nt his residence on Gold and Tenth
streets. Mr. Payne was attacked with
the disease last Monday, and al
though all that medical skill could do
was done the ravages of the dread
disease could not be stayed and
Saturday evening he passed away.
The deceased leaves surviving hint
a young wife, his father and mother
and four brothers, residing In Sacra
mento, California. His parents were
wired the sad news of their son's
death, but up to the time of going to
press had not been heard from. Until
something definite has been learned
from his parents no announcement of
the funeral will he made.
The deceased was about 38 years
of age and was born In California,
where about two years ago he was
married to Miss Myrtle Gladwin, a
sister of Mrs. Wampler, residing In
this city. Shortly after their mar
riage Mr. and Mrs. Payne came to
Plattsmouth, where Mr. Payne
obtained employment at the brass
foundry and has been in the employ
of the Burlington since that time at
the foundry as engineer. His father,
George Payne, with Ills mother, Mrs.
Payne, and four brothers, John, Beu,
Tom and Frank, reside, as stated, in
Sacramento, and unless they can at
tend the funeral here, his wife will
take the remains to Sacramento for
burial.
Mr. Payne was well respected In
this community, where, In the short
space of eighteen months, he has won
many warm friends. He was a mem
ber of the Odd Fellows lodge and the
Eagles, and his numerous friends
here sympathize deeply with the wife
and parents in their sudden and un
expected bereavement.

ftmim lal distric t.
Don't you think that last Saturday
was a very disagreeable day In
Plattsmouth? One that certainly
should receive the undivided atten
tion of the business men, the city
council and the Commercial club un
til some relief Is afforded the people
from those terrible dust Btorms that
prevailed almost the entire after
noon. We believe that more people
were In the city last Saturday than
we have seen for several month", and
every few moments the wind would
raise sufficient dust to fill the eyes,
nose and mouth of every person on
the street. This certainly should be
remedied In some manner. It we are
not permitted to consume sufficient
water from tho water company to
sprinkle the streets some other rem
edy should be brought to bear. It
has been suggested to & Journal re
porter by Councilman Wills that the
business men sweep the streets to the
center in front ot their buildings and
he will see that the cleanings are re
moved. Let us all get busy and give
the sweeping proposition a trial. It
will help some.
