The Attendance Last Night Was Well Pleased With Rev. Lewis
Sermon, and His Manner of Delivery.
From Friday's Polly.
The revival services at the
Methodist church are continuing to
old the interest of the people. The
song service last evening was enjoyed
by all present. Rev. Lewis and Prof.
Sutherland were to have sung a duet,
but owing to Rev. Lewis' ' throat
trouble, he did not sing, his part be
ing very ably taken by Mrs. E. II.
Wescott, who, with Prof. Sutherland,
sang ';i Am So Happy in Jesus." The
ejectrlc light went out and for a time
lie audience was in the darkness of
Egypt. While the lamps were being
brought Prof. Sutherland began sing
ing, "Shall We Gather at the River?"
in which the entire congregation Join
ed with fervor.
When Rev. Lewis arose to speak
tie said the singing of that eong
brought to his memory the river
where his father and mother were
baptised, the spot he had visited not
no long ago, and he was then remind
ed of the river where all should
gather in the great beyond. He
etated that he was weak physically,
nd that he needed the prayers of the
thurch that his weakness might be
ehanged to strength and that all
might be helped.
The subject of the theme for the
evening was "The woman who was
healed by the Savior after she had
pent fortunes In trying to get cured
by the physicians of her time." Rev.
liewis drew a word picture of the
stooped, wrinkled old lady who, he
said, had just heard of the great re
Tival which was going on in the city,
conducted by one who was healing all
manner of disease. He described the
noene In her home when she told her
daughters that she was going to try!
this new physician, and the dis- j
eouraglng words of the . daughters, I
telling her it would be useless as she j
bad tried so many and all had failed. !
He then told of the bustle and J
activity of the young ladies In help-1
Ing their mother to get ready when!

After listening to the statement of!
the officers. Judge Archer fined
Fogleson $100, and suspended sen
tence for twenty minutes to allow
the defendant to get out of town. He
said he could not get out in that time,
but that he would go on the first

this condition the sentence was sus
pended and the defendant moved on.
Another party who was thrown In
Wednesday evening, John Anderson,
taken as drunk and disorderly, was
also brought over from the Jail and

been In the employ of the Burlington,
working with the bridge gang, but
began boozing last pay-day and has
kept it up pretty much ever since.
When apprehended he wa3 taken to
the jail In a hack, and got so
boisterous that he broke the door of
the conveyance, which he was re
quired to pay for to the amount of
$12. Anderson Is a thrifty Swede
and has between $2,. '00 and $3,000
iu drafts in the custody of one of the
business men of the city. He has
promised to let the booze fighting be
done by others in the future and be
come a sober citizen.
Still They Come.
The farmers near Plattsmouth and
in Cass county are fast becoming
readers of the Dally Journal. They
know a good home print daily paper!
hen they see It. Another one of
our good weekly readers transfers
his name on our books for the dally,
tils name being Fted Kehne. who for
great many years has been a reader
of the weekly. The daily now ha
bout fifty farmer readers and grow
ing every day. We want a grat
many more and we will get them In

II PROF. HER-
m nniui prou
they found that she could not be dis
suaded from going. The great
throng which crowded about the
Savior, and into which the invalid
woman had to elbow her way, was
portrayed to the interested listeners.
The speaker here took occasion to
rebuke dancing, by saying that If the
spindle-legged dudes who dance could
have been in that crowd they would
have had all of the hugging they
cared for.
He then told of the woman think
Ing if she could but touch the hem
of the Savior's coat and be healed
without anyone knowing it. she would
do so. Rev. Lewis here stated that
there were many people who would
like to be Christians if they could
do so without anyone knowing it.
The speaker related the dramatic In
cident of the Savior turning in the
Jostling crowd and asking who had
touched him, and of the surprise of
the disciples at being thus inter
rogated in such a jam as was there,
as it seemed to them that It would
be hard to determine who had not
touched the Savior. But Jesus knew
someone with faith In him had touch
ed him for a purpose, and on making
the inquiry, the woman made the
public confession that she had touch
ed his coat. Rev. Lewis stated that
Jesus immediately received her into
the church and that she was not re
quired to go as a probationer, but
that Jesus announced to her that
"Thy faith hath made thee whole."
The speaker then followed the
woman back to her home and noted
her changed life and her better treat
ment of the members of the house
hold, saying that she joyously told
fcjer daughters about the Savior and
his wonderful love. To illustrate the
difference, the speaker told how dif
ferently the Christian used his stock,
and told of his brother-in-law, who
noted that his horses took on flesh
after he became a Christian because
he used them kinder.
Xot Guilty of Theft.
John Richardson, arrested at
Louisville, Nebraska, about three
weeks ago, charged with having
stolen a horse and buggy In which he
was eloping, was released In county
court Thursday morning. His father,
now serving a thirty-day sentence In
the county jail himself on a vag
rancy charge, testified that he had
sold the horse three days before his
son made off with It and that his son
was ignorant of the sale Omaha

ERSTWHILE GENTLEMAN OF
LEISURE CARRIES REVOLVER
Earl Fogelson, an erstwhile gentle
man of leisure, was Jailed last even
ing on the charge of carrying con
cealed weapons, having been dis
ocvered at the home of some lady
friends on Chicago avenue. Chief of
Police Rainy and Night Policeman
Henry Trout, In company with Sheriff
Quinton, went to the premises, which
has been under the ban for some
time, and which the neighbors had
made complaint of for the reason
that young men had been seen going
there late at night and leaving early
In the morning, and rounded up the
place, finding Fogelson there. Fogel
son came out on the porch when the
ofticers rapped for admission and
followed them back Into the house

words, In which Fogelson talked bock
to the ofticers, he was made to stand
and be searched, when the guV was
found. He was brought to the Jail
and locked up. Tomorrow, when the
county attorney has a little time to do
so, a complaint will be drawn and
filed against the man and he will be
given a hearing.

"Some - Elements of Worth
Necessary to Success"
From Thursday's Pully
Rev. L. W. Cade gave an address
at the High school this morning to
the students on the subject of "Some
Elements of Worth Necessary to Suc
cess." In elaborating the subject
Mr. Cade said in substance that it is
everyone's duty to make the most of
tluir bodily powers. That he had
noted in considering the gnat men
of the past that generally speaking
they were men of strong physical
powers. And it should be a part of
the education to develop the physical
as well as the mental and moral
powers.
The speaker gave the young men
some good thoughts concerning the
use of tobacco and stated that the
use of this weed would Impede their
physical and mental development.
The use of the cigarette was especial
ly condemned as a destroyer of men
tal activity. The speaker had read
from an article from the pen of the
president of one of the leading col
leges in the east, his observations of
the effect of tobacco n the students
of his college. And lirYerlably the
user of the weed has a less chest
capacity, less lung power, less bodily
weight and shorter in stature than
those students who did not use to
bacco. With strong bodies Invariably
went strong Intellects and strong
reasoning powers, and It Is the duty
to develop the mind to the very best
advantage In order that the young
man or young woman be fitted for the
struggle of life after the school train
ing Is done. Rev. Gade advised the
students not to stop the mental and
physical training with the High
school course, but to enter a college
and pursue the course, and thus
further develop their powers.

L C. ANDERSON BECOMES
SUODENLY UNCONSCIOUS
Fronv Ki ldny'd Daily.
Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Mr. L. C. Anderson, for
years a Burlington employee, after
reaching his home, suffered from an
attack of lllnes, losing consciousness
for several hours. The family physi
cian was summoned at once and
rendered medical assistance, but for
a long time the patient did not seem
to Improve and it was feared he
would not recover. The stupor was
thought to be caused from a hemor
rhage of the brain, and his friends
were exceedingly anxious about Mr.
Anderson's condition.
Mr. Anderson has been In the em
ploy of the company for more than
twenty-five years, and has been a
faithful man at his work. His con
stant application ha during the past
two or three years, seemed a
traln on his health. Iast summer
he took a trip to Sheridan, Wyoming,
and visited his daughter, and from
there Journeyed to the coast, hoping
to find relief in rest, and for some
months felt much better. During
the past few days Mr. Anderson had
not been so well, but did not quit
work. Yesterday he felt poorly dur
ing the afternoon, but continued at
his work until the whistle announced
the hour of going home. He had
been home but a short time when the
Illness attacked him.
Mr.rndersTn was much better
this morning. He regained conscious
ness and his friends hope now for hla
recovery.
Since the above was put In type a
'phone message from the bedside of
Mr. Anderson this afternoon states
that he Is very much better and that
he would get up if his physician and
friends would allow him to do so.

Cleaning t'p the Town.
Prof. Sutherland has been looking
after the moral Interest of the good
people of the city, and In a quiet way
visited some of the saloons of the
city and found a few pictures which
he thought rather loud, and made a
request of the mayor to have them
removed. Mayor Sattler said he had
not been frequenting the saloons and
had not had his attention called to
the pictures. The proprietors were
Interviewed and the pictures re
moved. The saloonkeepers In Platts
mouth try to' be law-abiding, and
when an objectionable practice Is
called to their attention they cut It
out.

RETURNS KITH CHECK
from Frlil it v'n Hally.
Chief Rlny went to Omaha yester
day to serve on former City Clerk
Elster a notice' of the action of the
city council at their meeting last
Monday night. The notice served by
Chief Rainy cited the former clerk
to appear before the council April 10
and explain the shortage and also tho
missing receipt stubs from 20 to
200.
Dr. Klster Informed the chief that
he had already drawn a check and
delivered It to Mr. II. R. Gerlng to
bring to Plattsmouth, but that he
would make a new ehock and 'phone
Mr. Gerlng to destroy the check de
livered to him. He then drew a check
on tho lTnl tod States National bank
for $40 In favor of the City of riatts
niouth, and delivered It to the chief,
who brought It to tho clerk here for
Indorsement. City Clerk 11. G. Wurl
declined to accept the check, as that
was not what the cltavlon called for,
nnd as there was no authority for col
lecting the $25 occupation tax from
R. M. Schlaes, Mr. Wurl would not
accept the check, as he did not care
to be mixed up In the litigation,
should any arise. Chief Rainy there
fore holds the check and will doubt
less .do so until after the next meet
ing of the city council.
Dr. Elster called Mayor Sattler up
last evening and Informed the mayor
tiiat he had given the check for $40
and Inquired If that would settle the
matter. , Mr. Sattler could not assure
Dr. Elster that this would satisfy
the council.
A PLEA FOR THE PRO
TECTION OF THE BIRDS
With the approach of spring comes
the question of protection to the
birds, The robin Is coming to he ac
knowledged as useful to the fruit
grower and also to the gardener.
Very early it is seen In' the gardens
watching for and gathering grubs and
other Insects. It arrests the de
structive work of these pests and
richly earns what toll It may take
later from the cherry trees. It puts
In full time and when one stops to
watch the birds they are always found
to be busy enatchlng the buga and
worms from the ground. The robin
eats a number of very destructive
members of the caterpillar family.
The June bug also finds a place on
its bill of fare. An orchardist is
authority for the statement that while
the robin eats a goodly amount of
fruit, more than one-half of it Is
wild, and but little comparatively of
the cultivated kinds. Considering
the fact that they are among the early
spring arrivals and stay until late in
the fall they have a definite worth to
tho fruit grower, the gardener and
the farmer. Lincoln News.

MR. SOPER IIS OUT IN
SUIT ATNEBRASKA CITY
The case of J. C. KauU vs. SoiK-r,
which has bom on trial In the dis
' rlt t court for three days, ended "
phout noon yesterday when Judge
Travis held that the case should be
"Dismissed for want of equity," In
other words, giving the decision to
tho defendant.
The ease arose over a buslne)
controversy between Mr. Kautz and
Mr. Soper over the management of
the Eighth street studio. It was di
vulged In the evidence that Sopor's
coming to Nebraska City was at tho
request of Kautz, who entered Into
an agreement with him to furnish
the gallery and allow Mr. Soper to
run It on a percentage basis. ThU
agreement smarted In. November,
1909. In July. 1910, after the studio
showed a loss, Mr. Kautz demanded .
possession, which was refused him
by the defendant.
It has been Intimated by the de
fendant that the reason for the de
mand for possession was because ho,
Soper, was "getting the best of It"
In the competition between the two
studios.
The taking of testimony occupied
the court's attention for two days
and almost equaled the record of the
famous Sandwich Manufacturing
company case, which ran for several
days.
Many amui.ing things marked t lit
testimony, one statement having
been made by a witness that the
"taking of postcard and stamp pic
tures Is considered unprofessional
by the members of the craft," a fact
which the public will probably be
glad to know.
The decision of the court leaves
the Klghth street studio In the pos
session of Mr. Soper, although the
case may hea ppealed.
The plulnllff, Mr. Kautz, was rep
resented by Paul Jensen and I). W.
Livingston; Plt.er & Hay ward ami
Kdward Zlmnierer and K. F. Warren
represented Mr. Soper, Nebraska

Mr. and Mrs. Soper resided In
Plattsmouth for a number of years
and were highly respected by all our
people for their many excellent
qualities, Including business and
social relations.
WILL THE GOVERNOR VETO
" SUNDAY BASE BALL BILL?
The Sunday baseball bill Is now up
to the governor for approval or re
jection. Conjecturing from a con
versation had with the governor by
representatives of profeslsonal base
ball in the state Wednesday after
noon, the general Impression Is that
he will veto the bill. He told those)
who approached him on the subject
that he would have to stay with
Ills friends on this measure, and his
friends represent that section of the
commonwealth whiih regards it as
sinful and a crime to rap the cover off
the horsehlde on tho first day of the
week.

that developed In the test the day
before, when the fight In committee
of the whole was made upon It.
