OLD CASS COUN
TY COUPLE HAV
ING A GOOD TIE
Several .Months Ago They Were At
tacked by Wanderlust Fever and
Are Sure Enjoying Trip.
The Journal has just received the
following interesting letter from Mr.
and Mrs. F. A. Kirk pat rick who are
r.ow sojourning on the Pacific coast
and cnjoyinjr a vacation and rest. The
lttr is as foi vs:
"We two pown ujx and jrrown old
children have ben afflicted with :i d s
ease called tlie wanderlust for the
last two months, and have been tak
ing the rest cure, if almost constant
traveling and visiting can he called
rest. On leaving our home in Xehaw
ka we took a peep at Omaha just for a
starter anil to get a good send off. We
spent a day in St. Paul, a day in Min
neapolis and the leautiful Ike Min
netonka and Minnehaha Falls, and
visited a day in Duluth. crossed the
aerial bridge at Minnesota point and
snent three days at Clogville with old
friends, then crossed the bridsre into
Canada. w:is inspected by the custom
officers. Kegan at Winnepeg and
travelled the entire length of Canada
to Vancouver, anil I think it is the
most wonderful country I ever saw.
The wonderful wide expanse of local
farm land covered with wheat in the
t-hock so thick that it looked as if Can
ada could furnish bread enough for
the armies of Europe. We saw scarce
ly any corn but plently of cattle and
horses and in some places hogs. The
beauty and granduer of the mountains
further west surprised all my expecta
tions but time will not permit a des
cription of the glaciers and mountain
lakes, deep canyons, long tunnels im
mense snow sheds high up on the side
cf the mountains. The national parks
stocked with buffalo, elk, moose, deer,
antelope and in fact all the animals
that are wild in North America. Then
the gradual descent to Hie Puget
Sound and the sea voyage to a "bit of
Old England" called Victoria, a verit
able park of beautiful flowers and
trees and lovely ar.d magnificent
Lome?. then another trip in a float
ing palace into the harbor at Seattle
in the grand old I. S. A. After a
week in Seattle anil two in Tacoma.
Wash., w? went on a trip down a
Columbian river to visit our former
friends, the liannings at Olalskinnie.
Oregon. The scenery on the Columb
ian river besrtrers description. High
tip on the hillsides, amid the fair pine
and cedar trees are the beautiful
homes overlooking the reclaimed land,
called ti e Delta gardens, where the
land is worth and selling at $"o pel
acre and ued to raise vegetables fr
the city markets, then beyor.d the
beautiful Columbian river bearing on
its bosom the passenger and frieght
boats plying between Astoria and Port
land, long rafts of logs, hundred of
feet long towed by boats toward their
destination, and game of all kinds even
the beautiful Chinese pheasant which
is a most lieautiful bird of the prairie
chicken kind too piet'y to kill anil eat.
but we plead guilty of eating some and
pronounce it the most toothsome ever
yet offered us. From there we went to
Portland where we stayed a week with
relatives and friends. We attended
the land show and about every other
person with a real jrood display was
from Nebraska and by the time we got
all around the county exhibits we con
cluded that Nebraska had to show
them how to raise the stuff. We spent
a day in Oregon City, big dams, water
falls, saw mills, water power for elec
tric lights, and machinery, interurban
and trolly lines everywhere. Golf links,
tennis courts, ball grounds, amusement
parks, a river lined with houseboats
are what we saw at Oregon City. We
also spent several days at Forest
Grove, saw the most concentrated and
condensed farming that we saw any
where and the most stock of any oth
er strip of country. Fruits, vegetables,
hogs and horses and cows for the
wholesale production of condensed
milk. We spent one night at what is
called the cleanest city in Oregon.
Koseberg. noted for the salmon
streams, towering hills and beautiful
flowers.
At Ashland we rested with friends
and ate a goodly portion of turkey
and other good things at Thanksgiv
ing time. .A city between rows of hills
and mountains and celebrated for its
springs of lithia, sulphur, soda and
amonia waters boiling up out of the
ground, each in a seperate place. It
is also not,ed for its big red apples
and other fruits and for the people be
ing in the clouds a greater part of the
time as the clouds settle down on the
city at night and then one looking
down from the hills would easily be
lieve that what he saw was a river, so
cense in the clouds that the electric
lights do not show except at the edges
and the clouds do really look like
water. In the morning they float up
and away to the top of Mt. Grizzley,
Mt. Ashland and Pilot mountain,
where there is snow all the time.
Now dear editor of the Journal if
this or a part of it gets into print I
will finish from Ashland to Los Ange
les in my next. My better half is
sleeping the sleep of the just and I
must not longer burn the midnight
oil or impose on the good nature of
the Journal readers.

"THE TRAIL OF THE
LONESOME PINE" COM
ING TO THE PARMELE
Manager Shlaes of the Parmele
theater informs us that on Friday
nijrht night, December 17, he is to
have "The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine," by John Fox, jr., and made into
a play by Eugene Walters. The piece
is presented by Gaskell AL- MacVitty,
by special arrangement of Klaw &
Erlanger. To the casual observer of
things theatrical surely this is a com
bination very hard to beat John Fox,
jr.. author, who also gave us "The Lit
tle Shepherd of Kingdom Come," both
books having had a most phenomenal
sale ranging into the millions.
F.ugene Walters, who made a new
era in things theatrical with two first
pieces. "Paid in Full" and "The Wolf."
two of the greatest dramatic successes
ever produced.
Klaw & Erlanger, who are to the
theatrical business of the world what
"John D." is to Standard Oil, r.nd last
ly, Gaskell & MacVitty. to whom we
are indebted for our very best book
dramatizations seen here in the last
rive years.
We are assured "The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine' is the crowning ef
fort of theirs and the scenic embellish
ments the same as seen daring the
long run at the New Amsterdam thea
ter. New York Citv.
LOOKING OVER ROAD
TO THE PLATTE RIVER
WAGON BRIDGE
The county conimisstoi.ers together
with the good roads committee of the
Commercial club and Division Super
intendent F. K. Muilin of the Turling
ton were out a few days ago looking
over the wagon road le.tding to the
Platte river auto anil wagon bridge to
see what could be done to make the
road more passible in bail weather
and do a-.viiv with the inconvenience
that has been experienced several
times in the past from the water and
mud. The I'arlingt'i is ready and
anxious to do whatever they can u
make the road Letter and will con
struct a ditch from the point where
the auto road crosses the r.diror.d
right of way to Swallow hill to carry
off the drainage water that has leen
standing there in the spring and after
each rain. It is hcjied to secure a
proper drainage in this way that will
do away with the bail roads at this
point while the commissioners and
roads committee will do their part to
assist in putting the road in good
shape. The Omaha Commercial club
is contemplating a great deal of Work
on the road through Sarpy county and
which will jnin onto the road at the
bridge anil with the improvement on
the road on this side of the river will
make a splendid highway all the way
into this city. The constant increas
ing number of automobiles makes this
road one of the most important in this
part of the county and one that is
traveled a great deal.
BOX SUPPER AT THE
KEIL SCHOOL HOUSE
SATURDAY NIGHT
Saturday evening a most successful
box supper was held at the Keil school
house near Cedar Creek, which was
one of the most pleasant that has been
held there for year.s and the result
was one of general satisfaction to the
patrons' of the school and reflects
great credit upon the teacher. Miss
Anna Henrich, who arranged the af
fair, and the pupils who took part in
the excellent program which was
given just before the auctioning of the
dainty boxes prepared by the ladies.
The auction of the muxes was conduct
ed by Mr. Louis Keil. and he soon had
the bidding going very lively, and as
a residt $7i.2." was realized for the
evening, which is a most flattering
sum. Everyone preent had a jolly
good time and the evening will long be
very pleasantly remembered by those
attending. Miss Henrich. the teacher
in this district, is one of the most suc
cessful teachers in the country schools
and her work in this district has been
a great factor in advancing the work
of the pupils and of the standard of
the school.
WILLIAM BAR
CLAY BUYS MORE
CITY PROPERTY
Today a deal was closed whereby
Chief of Police William Barclay se
emed quite a bunch of Tlattsmouth
resilience property, consisting of the
three brick cottages, the building oc
cupied by the steam laundry on South
Fourth street and the frame residence
on Pearl .street adjoining the other
property. Mr. Barclay will, as soon
as the leases have expired on the
houses, have them vacated by the
tenants and at once put a force of
workmen to work putting them in
first-class shape and entirely cleaned
arid renovated, so as to be strictly
modern anil lirst-class. These resi
dences have been owned by J. H.
Mover, a non-resident, and have been
allowed to run down a great deal, but
Mr. Barclay will see that they are
fixed up o as to be acceptable to any
one as a residence, and from the way
in which he has improved his other
ptoperty interests it is certainly a
good thing that he has secured the
buildings. The laundry building is a
modern structure ar.d will not ieuire
any further repairs or remodelir.g.
JOHN CRABILL IS
HOME FROM THE HOS
PITAL IN OMAHA
From Saturday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon John W. Cra-
bill who for the past two weeks
has been at the Methodist hos
pital in Omaha, "where he was
operated on for appendicitis, was
able to return to his home in this
city, being brought back from the hos
pital by Superintendent W. G. Brooks,
his brother-in-law. in the auto. Mr.
Crabill has had a very severe time but
has rallied nicely from the operation
and is now on the highway to complete
recovery and with the home influences
to asist should soon be restored to his
usual good health. It is a pleasure
to his family and friends to have him
back with them after his serious or
deal at the hospital.
Mrs. Emma Hoppel of Cordova, Ne
braska, arrived here last evening on
No. 2 and departed this morr.ir.g for'
Cedar Creek to attend the funeral of
Mrs. Catherine Brodbeck, which was
held there today.
LIVE TURKEYS FOR THE
' CHRISTMAS DINNER
A flock of fifty live tin keys will ar
l ive here this week for the use of the
lur.i of J. V. Hatt v Son in their meat
market during the Christmas season.
These turkeys were secured from one
of the farmers residing just north of
Glen wood and are as fine specimens
of the feathered bird as can be found
in this paity of the country. Turkeys
are quite hard to raise and there are
very few farmers in this section of the
country who care to take the tremble
to raise them when other poultry can
be raised 'f great deal easier, and this
generally makes it hard for thedeal
ers in this line, who are compelled to
.-hip their birds for the holiday season.
The greatest sections for the raising
of turkeys seems to be the south and
southwest, and in Texas especially is
the industry carried on quite ex-tensivelv.

PLATTSMOUTH BAS
KET BALL TEAM WINS
' ANOTHER VICTORY
The basket ball game sche-iluled
with that of the Louisville High School
team Saturday evening in that city re
sulted in a complete route of the
Louisville boys who were humiliated
l.v the Plattsmouth team by a score of
lit to 11 and the game was one that
was too one sided to really be inter
esting as the boys from our neighbor
ing city were decidedly lacking in
practice and were unable to withstand
tiie onslaughts of the redoubtable ag
gregation that Coach Cook brought
with him to make a mass attack on
the trenches of the Louisville team
and the local bovs were able to shoot
baskets at will with the result of the
overpowering score that told the story
of the game. It had been expected
that there would be a great deal of
difficulty in getting away with the
third game of the serjes but it proved
one of the softest that could possibly
be desired. The regular members of
the team were alJ to take it easy and
a number of the substitutes were put
in to get a little practice out of the
affair.
The girls team, however, was not as
fortunatf as in their match with the
Louisville girls they were defeated by
the score of ." to li' but this was only
the opening contest of the season for
tli-ni ard they are not as yet on to
ail tie ins anil uts of their game
but have some goial material that
car. be made one of the best teams of
Mi. in,;.; ladies that has represented the
sihool in recent years. The success
of the boys team has created a great
ileal of enthusiasm among the students
and they are all looking forward to
one of the most successful years in
!he historv of the school athletics.

Saturday evening, when he having be

nue and proceeded to throw a scare
'into the residents along that thorough
fare, although he was not in the least
unruly, but the police were, called and
gathered him in. The court, after
hearing the facts in the case decided
that it would be necessary for him to
part with the sum of $2 and costs,
amounting to $.", to satisfy the feel
ings of outraged justice, and this
amount was handed over without a
complaint and the man allowed to go

hunting. The two young men were
walking along the road near the home
of Mr. Hoback, and his brothers-in-law,
a lad of some 17 years of age. was
slightly in the rear of the unfortunate
man, when in some manner the shot
gun was discharged anil the full
charge of No. C, shot entered the left
aim just below the elbow. Medical
assistance was at once summoned and
the injured man looked after as quick
ly as possible. A large number of the
shots were removed from the arm and
it is hoped that it will be possible to
save the member from amputation if
complications do not set in. The in
jured man is well known In the south
