JOHN
PLATTSMOUTH,
BAUER
, Agent
The Deceased Was a Very Prominent
Lady and Her Death Was Quite
Sudden.
NEBRASKA
The community was shocked this
morning to learn of the sudden death
of Mrs. Jacob Wendell at her home
last night at 12 o'clock.
Mrs. Wendell had been in her usual
health and activity until only a few
days afro when she succumbed to an
attack of cold and her system was evi
dently not strong enough to resist it
Her advanced age of eighty-two years
has been borne with unsual strength
and fortitude. Her recent associations
in church and social activities have
encouraged her friends in the hope the
frailties so common to one of her ad
vanced years years would not fasten
on her for some time to come.
Mrs. Wendell has been for many
years a resident of Plattsmouth. Her
maiden name was Harriett A. Sher
man. She was born October 2, 1834,
near John son ville. New York, where
she resided for many years with her
parents. She received her education
at Fort Edward academy, New York.
On October 2, 1859, she was married
to Jacob Wendell, and in 1885 they
came to Nebraska, making their home
at Plattsmouth.
Mr. Wendell proceeded her to the
'better world" on February 19 of the
present year. The incident of his death
r.nd the loneliness caused by the sep
aration from the companion with
whom she had traveled in life for al
most fity-seven years, weighed heav-
ly upon her, and the stron,, indom
itable spirit she has so long evidenced
began to break.
Loving hands and tender ministries
from those nearest and dearest to her
made the closing days of her life as
comfortable as possible. Her sudden
taking was one from the midst of life,
as only a few days ago she attended
an atternoon meeting of the L.adies
Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church
and was making plans to soon enter
tain them in her own home.
To those who knew Mrs. Wendell
best she was a strong and faithful
friend, a kind and generous neighbor,
n active, energetic member of society
who never failed to become a part of
the movements for the benefit and up-
ift of humanity.
Her two daughters, Mrs. Charles
'orbes and Mrs. A. E. Gass, have al
ways been most closely attentive and
devoted to the comfort and pleasure
of their mother, and were with her
when the final summons came.
The funeral of this good woman will
be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
from the late residence. Rev. H. G.
McClusky, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, will have charge.
TALENTED NEW YORK
SINGER VISITOR HERE
Miss Elizabeth Wood of New York
ity arrived in the city last evening
for a brief visit with her aunt, Mrs.
T. Baird, and family. Miss Wood
was born and reared in New Orleans,
where Mrs. Baird resided when a
girl, but this was the first opportu
nity she had ever had of seeing any
of the Bairds. She is quite a talented
musician and is on her way back to
New York after having taken part in
number of musical festivals. She
sang in lew urleans the hrst of last
week and at the May Festival held un
der the auspices of Iowa state college
ast Friday and Saturday, taking the
contralto part in Mendelssohn's ora
torio, "Elijah." Besides having a
class, she sings in two of the large
churches in New York, the Hamilton
Grange Reformed and the Hebrew
abernacle. Miss Wood regretted very
much that she could not prolong her
visit in Plattsmouth, but was obliged
to be back by Wednesday of this week.
She left on No. 2 this afternoon.
Judge W. H. Newell is feeling some
what indisposed for the past two days
as the result of the effects of the
heat, but at last reports was showing
signs of great ' improvement. Mr.
Newell, who is 'an ardent fisherman,
was out along the Missouri river last
Friday, and the exposure to the heat
eems to have been too much for him
as Saturday he was feeling quite poor-
y, but he has since improved so that
it is thought that with a few days of
quiet at home he will be able to be
around a) usual.
Malvin- Moore of - Griswold,- Iowa
was an over Sunday visitor in this
city, coming over Saturday morning
and departing on No. 6 this morning
for' his home. He is much impressed
with our farming country and the gen
eral appearance of .the city.

MAN PASSING AS IN
SURANCE AGENT SE
CURES GOOD MONEY
rosing1 as an agent for an insurance
company, a man giving his name as
L. Hess, last Friday succeeded in per
suading R. A. McCoy, of this city, to
endorse a forged cashier's chtck for
$55.78 on a bank at Miller, Iowa, and
leaving town bofore the discovery of
the forgery was made. The sheritf
and secret service men were put on
his trail at once, when a letter receiv
ed yesterday from a notary public at
Miller notified the bank here of the
fact. No clues which could lead to his
arrest have been found.
A telegram from riattsmouth per
taining to a business deal convinced
Mr. McCoy of the man's veracity, and
he accompanied him to the bank and
endorsed the check, to enable ifu
stranger to procure needed funds. Hie
fact of its being a eashier's check was
further convincing evidence as they
are notably hard to procure. This is
proof that the man's plans were well
laid and it is very likely a game that
has been worked by him in other
places as well as this.
The telegram sent from Platts
mouth is rather an important clue on
the fact of it, though investigation, so
far. has failed to ascertain whether
the forger had an accomplice or sent
the wire to himself. Either is pos
sible and the authorities are making
further investigation.
He is supposed to have left town on
Friday evening though this is not a
proved fact. It is more than likely
that he lost no time in getting out of
the city after accomplishing his pur
pose, however. There is no doubt that,
though efforts so far have failed, the
man will be apprehended sooner or
later if he works ths game with any
regularity. Meanwhile Mr. McCoy is
out $55.78. Nebraska City News.
SONS OF HERMAN HOLD
ELEGTIOrJ BF OFFIGERS
Yesterday the members of the Sons
of Herman gathered at their lodge
rooms to take up the matters of their
regular monthly meeting, and among
other things taken up was that of the
election of officers for the ensuing
year and the following were decided
on to guide the destinies of the order:
President Max Pfitchmeyer.
Vice President Claus Boetel, sr.
Secretary Frank Nucmann.
Treasurer P. F. Coos.
Director August Pakow.
This order has quite a membership
in this city and vicinity and ranks as
one of the leading German fraternal
orders in the country.
W. T. Scotten Very Low.
Reports from the bedside of W. T.
Scotten this morning are that the pa
tient is in cry critical condition with
only a slight improvement shown.
Mr. Scotten is conscious only a part
of the time and suffers greatly from
his illness. The complications of his
malady are such as to offer but little
hopes for his recovery.
I sell lots of Pratt's Chick Food and
stock remedies. C. E. Hartford.
$5.00 Phonographs at Dawson's.
The man Hess is not known in this
city and no one apparently has any
knowledge of his being here or having
any business transactions and it looks
as though the Nebraska City man will
be out his hard earned cash as a re
sult of his kindness to the stranger.
