city, figuring on arrivinp here
about 9 a. in. and will at once
proceed to the rifle ranpe. north
of this city, where camp will be
made and the work of rifle prac
tice started. The boys will not
all remain here durinp the two
weeks' practice, but there will al
ways be a squad of the members
here to practice durinp this tiim
The camp will be on the repular
basis such as is user! at the state
encampments, with mess tents
and military repulations to gov-
ern the conduct or the members
of the company.
Companv I is in command of
Captain Humphrey, one of the

Platte River on the Raise.
Durinp the past few days the
Platte river has shown quite a
raise at this point, where it
empties into the Missouri, andt
the slouph and usually dry chan
nels of the river jul east of the
depot have been showing quite a
depth of water in the past week.
The heavy rains that have pre
vailed in this state the past two
weeks have aided preatly in
bringing the river up to its pres
ent state. The Platte and Mis
souri have both been very much
below the usual standard of the
spring raises, as penerally durinp
f lie last of May and the first of
June they are both up and boom-
inp, but the mild winter and lack
of a preat deal of snow did not
furnish the usual amount of wa
fer to aid the raisinp of the rivers
to flood tide.
Come to the Air Dome tonipht
and spend a most pleasant eveninp.
Isn't it a pretty pood proposition, after all, to be able to
win a 1,000 Automobile, S-H0 Piano, $75 Diamond Rinps,

DEN PASSES AWAY
AT AGE OF 91
Aged Lady and Pioneer of Cass
County Dies After Long Illness
of Heart Trouble.
This morninp as the

was sprmp mir into ei-

spirit of Mrs. Xancy 15
. Rhoden,
respected
ne of the iiios hiphly
and esteemed ladies
in Ca-
county, took flight as
she sank
peacefully into the
knows no awakeninp

full of years, beinp over 1 years
of ape, and durinp her lonp and
useful life she has had a preat
part in the makinp of the develop
ments of the preaf west and of
Cass county, of which she was a
pioneer resident. The past few
years Mrs. Rhoden has been im-
nble to take an active part in the
ife of the community on account
f her poor health, but she had
retained a warm interest in the

happenings of the community in
which he lived. for the pat
thr"e ears she had made her
home here in Plattsmouth with
her son. George R. Rhoden, where
she passed away.
Mrs. Xancy Rhoden was born
January 20, 182."), in Howard
county, Missouri, where her par
ents were among the earliest set
tlers of what was then the border
of the great unknown west, and
here the child grew up to learn
the hardships that befell the
pioneers in the making of this
preat western empire. Bearing
the lot of those sturdy pioneers,
Mrs. Rhoden was reared to wom
anhood, and in her native state
was married in 18 41 to William
A. Rhoden, and the young people,
with fhe courage of youth and
their love for each other, started
to hew out for themselves a
future in the western country. In
1805 Mr. and Mrs. Rhoden moved
to Nebraska, and in 180G settled
on a farm near where the preesnt
town of Murray is located, and
here they resided for many years.
The family has, during their
long residence in the county, been
one most highly respected, and it
has been a great pleasure to the
departed lady that her children
have fared so well in life. It was
during these early days that one
son of Mr. and Mrs. Rhoden was
killed in warfare with the Indians
in what is now the state of Idaho.
The husband and father resided
at the old home near Murray with
his helpmate and family until
188G, when he passed away, and
since thai time Mrs. Rhoden has
made her home with her children
in this county," and for the past
few- years has lived in this cily at
the home of her son, George R.
Rhoden.
The death of Mrs. Rhoden re
moves a well loved figure from
the community, representing an
other tf the pioneers whose lives
were devoted to paving the way
for the coming of the benefits of
an enlightened commonwealth,
and there is nothing too lauditory
fo say for this grand good woman
and her long and useful life and
her uncomplainingly bearing of
her illness and suffering. She
leaves to mourn her. passing the
following children: Mrs. Josie
Cline, Cleveland. Ohio; J. L. Rho
den. Table Rock. Neb.; A. R.

Kansas; Mrs. Clinton Morrow,
Modale, Iowa; Mrs. John Connat-
ly. Turner, Xeb.; D. C. Rhoden,
Murray, and G. R. Rhoden.
The funeral of Mrs. Rhoden
will be held on Saturdav, the
corf acre leaving Hie late home at
10 -o'clock, and the services will
be held at noon from the Eighf

MURDOCH'S
UP-TO-DATE GEN
ERAL STORE
One of the Finest Store Buildings
and Biggest Stock of Goods
in Cass County.
A special from Murdock, in
peaking of their new store, .-ays;
The Murdock Mercantile Co..
will throw open to the public, on
Tuesday eveninp, June the
Moors oi ine nest, euuippea am
most up-to-date general store in
Cass county. At 7:H o'clock on
Moiidav morning, December 2'.'lh.
ilti.'L the lire alarm was sounded
in our little village and within two
hours all that remained of the
larpe building and immense stock
f the well known firm of Martin
& Toole were a few barrels of salt
and a heap of smoldering rums.
Not a sinple article was saved
from the main building. On ac
sount of Mr. Tool's time being
fully occupied with his other int-
eresis ami .Mr. .ianin ae, uiey
announced they would not re
build. Fpon this announcement
there were some who could only
see fhe dark side of the situation
and forthwith began preparations
for the burial of our prosperous
little town, but others more opti
mistic set about to find a menus
of saving the day. The plan of a
fock company was supge-ded
and interested parties placed the
matter before men of means, and
if wa not long before a mirn-
ber of our substantial business
men arid farmers subscribed for
enough stock to build a large
modern building and put in a
complete up-to-date stock. The
building is of brick. 5 2x80 feet,
with large baemenf. The build
ing will be heated with an up-to-
date steam plant. The wiring for
electric liphts has been put in and
as soon as the expected electric
line is put throuph the current
can fie turned on. 1 lie counters
and shelving, show caes, fruit
bin, etc., are said fo lie the finest
in the county. The business will
be under the management of J. E.
Mclfuph, who is well qualified for
the position. Mr. McIIuph is
thoroughly acquainted with the
mercantile business in the buying
a well as in fhe selling depart
ment and under his management
assisted by Miss Viola Everett
and E. H. Miler, the company
tarts out with bright prospects
for a successful future. The
people of flu's vicinity ouchf to
feel that they have opportunities
better than the average, for we
feej safe in saying fhere is not
anofher town in the state of Neb
raska, the size of Murdock, with
as fine a store as fhis one. On
Tuesday evening of this wek, a
reception was tendered to the
public, and verybody in that lo
cality were tendered a cordial in
vitation to be present, and from
all reports fhe occasion wa a
grand success. Nothing was of
fered for sale on that evening, as
all were invited to call and in
spect the building and stock.
The writer is inclined to think if
those who, five short months ago
felt the social and financial inter
ests of our town and community
were passing through the valley,
and the shadow, etc.. attended
this reception they received an
object lesson well worth remem
bering. They found that where
formerly stood a building of mod
erate size and rather ancient
architecture, now stands a com
modious brick building entirely
modern, with fixtures equal to
the best city stores. In place of
a stock with the usual accumula
tion of twenty odd years of con
tinuous business, they will find a
stock entirely new and as com
plete and up-to-date as can be
purchased by experienced buyers.
The stockholders of the enter
prise, with but one exception, live
in this vicinity. They nre our
neighbors, our friend, and we
owe them a share of our patronage.
