Night Policeman Henry Trout is
to be congratulated on his posi
tion in aiding the county ollicials
to enforce the law relative to the
operation of motor propelled
vehicles within the city limits.
And the law'-ahidinK people of the
town will admire the moral cour

most frequent offender, no matter
what his business strata may be.
'It is to be regretted that the city
has no ordinance covering the
speed limit of automobiles and
motorcycles, as Mr. Trout says it
lias none, and for that reason the
complaint filed Monday against a
speeder was brought in (he justice
of the peace court, where the ae-
cused may have a jury trial if lie
demands it.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of Mr. Trout, who turned
it over lo the sheriff's olliee for
service. If tluj matter were such

Cognizance of it, the police could
make the arrest, and the matter

unlawful rate of speed within the

an offender of this sort, regard

Dr. Herman fireeder, against
whom complaint was filed Monday
for speeding his automobile on
Chicago avenue in excess of the
rate prescribed by law, on August
10, 11112, today appeared before
Justice of the peace M. Archer and
pleaded guilty to the charge.
Dr. (Ireeder was of the opinion
I lial he was running within the
law, but rather than have trouble,
paid the fine, which the court fixed
for the llrst offense at $5 and
costs, the foal being $10. iO. The
doctor was shown the statute,
which llxes (lie minimum line at
$50, and informed by the court
that there could be no more $5
lines in his case. This is the llrst
arrest which has been made in
l'lallsmoiith for exceeding the
speed limit, but the olllcers have
promised still others. Let the
good work go on.

Stanley Kuhns Injured.
From Wednesday's Dully.
Stanley Kuhns, the humorist
and burlesque actor, had the mis
fortune yesterday morning about
10 o'clock, while in his line of
duly, in the mechanical depart
ment of the lUirlington shops, to
have the little linger of his left
hand badly smashed. In fact, the
smash was so serious as to take a
part of the finger off. Stanley
sought the company surgeon as
quickly as possible and had the
injured linger properly dressed. It
will be several days before he is
back on duty.
GETTING BACK 10 SAT
Farmers Are Reviving the Old
Custom to Buy on
That Day.
We reprint the following from
the Council Bluffs Daily Non-
paricl to show the readers of the
Journal that not only are the
f . i.i.i. ...o ..f i.. . :..:
.... .-, ,,, luuiii 1 1 mow in!, .
the (dd custom' of coming to
town on Saturday, but it is being
done to a great extent in other
towns. There is no doubt that
the convenience of coming and
going in the automobile is one
great reason for this. Last Satur
day there were between llfty and
seventy-live aulos in Plattsmoulh
and many of them were from
tlfleen to twenty miles away.
There is but one thing for Plalts
inouth merchants to do to put
their business on the increase,
and that is to keep on offering in
ducements for the farmers to
come here to trade, and show
them that they can secure just as
good bargains here and as good
quality of goods as they can se
cure in Omaha or elsemhere.
(iood roads and good bargains in
goods is what brings people to
Plattsmouth on Saturday. Here
is what the Nonpariel says in
reference to the revival of the
Saturday business since autos
have come into such general use:
"Council Bluffs is making a
name for itself as a 'Saturday
town,' according to merchants
and business men of the city. Last
Saturday one retail " merchant
staled that Ihe streets reminded
him of twenty years ago, when
Saturday was considered the only
, day for a farmer to go lo town. In
those days every village and lown
was a Saturday town. Later,
many towns lost their Saturday
trade for various reasons, and the
more metropolitan even tried to
lose the distinction of being Sat
urday towns.
"Last Saturday afternoon 138
automobiles from rural commun
ities and nearby towns wero
counted passing one corner in
two hours. F.very machine was
crowded with shoppers. The
character of the crowds on Ihe
business streets during the day
is distinctly rural ,and everyone is
busy. The automobile is credited
with the renewal of Saturday
shopping, and has widened the
territory tributary to the city
from tlfleen miles to sixty.
"Bluffs merchants are happy
over the revival of the custom of
selling aside Saturday as shop
ping day by the rural residents,
and .some talk is heard of making
special, occasions at frequent
intervals l make the day still
more popular."

Subject of Address of M. S. Briggs
Delivered at Union Y. P. S. C. E.
Services Sunday Evening.
From Wednesday's Dully.
The following synopsis of the
address delivered by Mr. M. S.
Briggs should have appeared in
(he article printed in yesterday's
Journal, but for some cause or
other it was mislaid. We are
sorry that such is the case, and as
the subject upon which Mr. Briggs
spoke is a very interesting one, it
no doubt will cover the purpose
just as well separated from the
account of the meeting printed
yesterday. Mr. Briggs spoke to
the subject of "Nature's Declara
tion of its Creator," which, couch
ed in the language of the nine
teenth psalm, tells of the homage
nature pays to the Jod of all, as
follows:
"The millions of stars which
we see on a clear night give
silent but immutable testimony)
to the infinity, who has bung the
worlds on high and has caused
them to return to their appoint
ed place, to the second, after
traveling millions of years in their
course. That the heaven's de
clares the glory of (lod, no one
will deny who has taken the time
to investigate how the planets are
held in their daces by the attrac
tion of gravitation, one of the
strong attributes of infinity.
"This attraction, which holds
worlds to the fraction of an inch
in their revolution, Is a type of
the love of the Father, mentioned
in John 3-10, saying, 'God so loved
the world that He gave His only
begotten son, that whosoever be
lievelh on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.' Some
people believe that success can
only be obtained when they await
until the whistle has sounded be
fore they can take up their daily
task, and will leave a task un
finished at the sound of the
whistle in the evening. The four
crops of alfalfa which the farmer
grows greets the llrst rays of the
sun at the song of the lark and
has its leaves attentive to the last
beams of Old Sol, as he descends
over the western horizon. What
Clod's beautiful outdoors teaches
us is the. irist of the lesson before
., ihis evening. I was narticular-
lv impressed with a scene which
u was my good fortune to witness
... . . - .
ju me mountains of Colorado a
few years since. It was of a pine
tree which seemed to grow out of
the almost solid rock. The tree in
question was a slim one, tower
ing above its fellows and as
straight as an arrow, but very
slender, having its roots just be
low a huge rock as large as an
ordinary house, and having the
appearance of having rolled down
the mountain side and having
lodged against the slender tree.
Not in the appearance of the tree
and the rock was the lesson, but
wild the hard and uncongenial
surroundings, the tree had found
a crevice here for a rootlet; an
other one over there, gathering a
little substance from one place
and another, but maintaining its
growth and becoming sturdier and
more solid with the tempests
which made toys of tho mountain
tops. We have to learn that
though the surroundings may not
be the most favorable and many
things discouraging in the way,
we can succeed and 'make good' if
we will only put forth half the
energy and determination tho pine
tree does to get a foothold in the
rugged rocks of the mountain
side." BAND BOYS WILL SOON
E
The band boys have ordered
their new suits from William
Holly, the clothier. The suits will
be very line and are of regulation
blue broadcloth of the style
adopted by Ihe National Musical
Federation. A military cap with
gilt letters, "C, B. & Q.," on the
band will go with each suit. There
are twenty-one suits ordered, and
the maker expects to have them
done within two weeks. The suits
are tho best that money could buy,
and the boys may well be proud of
I hem, as Ihe band will be on of the
neatest looking organizations in
the state.
