. Another, of. Plattsmouth's old
residents and highly respected
ladies passed away at her home in
this city Sunday morning at 3
o'clock. Mrs. Margaret C. Done
Ian Sehnlhof died at her home
after a residence in the city of al
most thirty-eight years.

THE LI REGARDING CAR
RYING CONGEALED WEAPONS
Better Leave Revolver at Home In
the Future If You Don't Want
to Get Into Trouble.
Judge V. S. Shoemaker, who us
a representative in the last ses
sion of the legislature, was the
author of the, Shoemaker law
making the carrying of concealed
weapons a penitentiary offense,
calls attention to the fact that
misapprehension exists in many
quarters concerning scope, since
the law went into effect the past
week. It is not designed to pre
sent honest men from carrying
weapons necessary for protection I
of self and property, or family, J
but is designed to make Ihej
punishment so drastic that I hey
.will not be carried for illegitimate
purposes.
This is Ihe new section of the
law governing Ihe matter:
"Whoever shall carry a weapon
or weapons concealed on or about
his person such as a revolver,
pistol, bowieknife, dirk, or knife
with a dirk blade attachment,
brass or iron knuckles, or any
other dangerous weapon, shall,
on conviction, be fined in any sum
not exceeding $1,000 or imprison
ed in the slate penitentiary not
exceeding two years, provided,
however, if it shall be proved
from the testimony on the trial,
.or at a preliminary hearing of
jBUCh case that the Accused was,
at the lime of carrying any
weapon as aforesaid, engaged in
any lawful business, calling or
employment and the circum
stances in which such person was
placed at the-lime aforesaid was
such as lo justify a prudent per
son in carrying the weapon or
weapons aforesaid, for the de
fense of his person, properly or
family, the accused shall be ac
quilled or discharged as the case
may be.
Taken to State's Prison.
From Monday's Pally.
Sheriff (.minion left for Lincoln
on the early train today, going lo
the penitentiary with William
Becker and Simon Meiers, Ihe
former going for five and Ihe lat
ter for four years. Becker was
convicted at the last term of court
of receiving stolen properly, and
Meiers of robbery from Ihe per
son. Both young men are natives
of Hie county, and their parents
have the svmpalhy of the com
munity. The law is a stern master
when it lays its hand on an of
fender, and those who violate may
expect lo be properly punished.
Dr. Donelan of Glenwood called
here by the death of his aunt,
Mrs. Margaret Schulhof. returned
to his home Ibis morning.
F
leaves one sister, Mrs. Conrad
Schlater of this city.
. Mrs. Schulhof will be greatly
missed from her large circle of
relatives and friends, who will
mourn the loss of this most
estimable woman. She was a kind
neighbor, loving mother and a
.constant friend, and was regarded
with the greatest respect by all
who cume within the circle of her
acquaintance.
Mrs. Schulhof had not bet'n
very well for some time, although
not complaining, the heat of the
past two weeks seemed to tell on
her strength and at times she
suffered, doubtless from a weak
heart, as she complained of dif
ficulty in breathing. She was in
her garden Saturday, as usual,
and looked after her ordinary
household duties, and death came
to her very suddenly Sunday
morning. She was a consistent
member of the Catholic church,
and her funeral will occur from
t. John's church Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock and will be con
ducted by Father Shine.

SGHUUIO
CONGRESSMAN iiGUIRE
WRITES G.A.R.IN
Explaining the Pension Situation
in Congress at the Present
Time.
In "response lo a letter written
to Congressman John A. Maguire
following the adoption of resolu
tions in regard to pension mat
ters, at a meeting of local mem
bers of Ihe Grand Army organiza
tion of Lincoln, J. H. Mocket, sr.,
of that city, has been written a
communication which reads as
follows:
Washington, D. C, July 5, 1911.
My Dear Sir: I am in receipt
of your letter dated June 30, with
resolutions from the old soldiers
requesting information on pen
sion matters in congress. I am
very glad to give you this in
formation as I have given it lo
many others since Ihe sperial
tariff session began.
On May 23, 1911. the committee
on invalid pensions, after full and
careful consideration of Ihe many
bills before the committee, voted
upon and adopted Ihe Sherwood
"dollar a, day" general pension
bill with but one opposing vole.
The chairman' of the committee,
Congressman Sherwood of Ohio,
who is also author of the bill, was
instructed to report the bill to
the house as soon as the house
was ready to consider general
legislation. It was agreed by the
committee members that Ihe bill
would be reported late in the
special session or at the begin
ning of the regular session.
The author of the bill, Gen
eral Sherwood, was a brave and
distinguished general of the civil
war, is an experienced legislator,
a true friend of the veterans and
known by meniberss of congress
In he favorable to liberal pensions.
All members of this committee
are also considered favorable lo
liberal pension legislation and
their attitude has never been
questioned here.
On June 19, Mr. Anderson, aft
er adverse action by Ihe com
mittee on his hill, and favorable
action on Ihe Sherwood bill, nf
lempled to take his bill away
from the committee nad have Ihe
same taken up directly by Ihe
house. Mr. Anderson's hill was
consinereu eareiuiiy ny me com
mittee along with the many other
bills, but received only one vote
in the committee.
No pension legislation was con
sidered in the special session I wo
years ago, and T am advised by
officers and clerks of the pension
committee and the house that no
general pension legislation has
ever been considered in special
sessions.
I shall be glad, as slated fo
others before, lo vole for anywell
considered, liberal general pen
sion bill. I voted for Ihe Sulloway
penison bill last session, but it
was defeated in Ihe senate. II, is
well known that should a pension
bill come before the senate now,
it would refuse lo consider it, for
the senate has laken no final ac
tion on any important matter of
general legislation yet I his ses
sion. I need not, here, refer lo my
record in congressional service on
pension or oilier legislation,
lhat is available lo Ihose who de
sire lo examine it. Very truly
yours, John A. Maguire.
Cleans Up Binder Trade.
August Gorder, the agricultural
implement aeaier, closed out his
last binder Saturday to Messrs.
Kaffenberger, who got the fortieth
binder sold by this popular im
plement house this season. This
is double the average number
sold in one season, which would
indicate how important Ihe, small
grain crop is in I his end of the
county. The method of pulling in
the wheal, crop with pressed drill
has resulted in an increase in
acreage of wheat sown each sea
son, and the idea of rotating the
crops on Ihe farm to keep (be noil
built up is practiced more than
formerly, so lhat farming has
grown to be a -rienlille business.

A SURE PREVENTIVE
OF HOG CHOLERA
Dr. Hermsn Greeder of Platts
mouth Manufacturers Serum
That Secures Results.
Early this spring several of our
farmers had a great deal of
cholera among their hogs, and
among this number was George
W. Snyder, residing west of My
nard. No sooner had Mr. Snyder
discovered this fact than he
notified Dr. Herman Greeder of
Plattsmouth, who immediately
called at the farm home of Mr.
Snyder and found that he had two
very sick animals among his
herd. At this lime Dr. Greeder
vaccinated the sixteen head then
in Mr. Snyder's herd, fourteen of
which were well and continued in
this healthy condition; Ihe two
sick ones died, as Dr. Greeder in
formed Mr. Snyder they would.
Mr. Greeder does not claim Unit
his serum will cure hog cholera
nor make sick hogs well; it is
simply a preventive, immunizes
them for liTo. This Mr. Snyder
Jells us has been his experience
beyond any doubt. Later in the
season Mr. Snyder bought 20 head
of shoals and placed them in Ihe
same bunch of hogs, firs! having
them vaccinated by Dr. Greeder.
.The cholera was slid on his place,
but Ihe new hogs continued lo do
well, eat heartily and put on llcsh
very rapidly, so the idea lhat
some farmers have lhat the vac
cination process stunts or retards
the growth of an animal is all a
mistake. From Ihe fourteen old
sows lhat. Mr. Snyder saved of the
original sixteen, he has fifty fine
young pigs that are nil doing well,
and he is today entirely free from
cholera.
This article is written from a
personal interview with Mr. Sny
der, and is merely published thai
olher farmers may learn of his
cholera experience and prolll by
.the same if they so chooses F. H.
Dunbar, of Ihe city of Platts
mouth, has had about Ihe same
experience with the same results,
through the merits of Dr. Greed
er's serum.

No Sunday Mall.
Business men in Nebraska who
do not like the new rule about tho
non-delivery of mail on Sunday
will gel. no relief from the post
office department, says a Wash
ington dispatch. This was made
clear in a letter received Saturday
by Senator Hitchcock from First
Assistant Postmaster Granlleld
Mr. Granfleld calls attention to
the fact lhat congress intended to
shorten the hours of postoffice
employes, but failed to increase
the appropriation. As n result
the department has carried out
tho provisions of the law for
shorter hours, by cutting oil' tho
Sunday delivery. "II is not the
intention nor is it possible to
have Sunday mail of any patron
ready for delivery on request,"
says Mr. Granlleld. ' If this was
done it would be necessary to dis
tribute all the mail in the oillce
and Ihe contemplated relief could
not be given the employes."
