APPLY FOR PATENT
ON TOY AUTOMO
BILE FOR CHILDREN
J. W. Peter? an.l Charles M. Parker,
the contractors of this city, have ap
plied for a patent on what seems like
a jrreat .--access in its way and that
is a toy automobile that can bfc ued
f.r the amusement of children from
two to four years of aae. The toy is
constructed of wood throughout and
the seat for the tots is broad enough
o that there is no dancrer of their
Tallin? off, and as the device is small,
it will make a safe toy for the young
tr children. On the tiny car a wood
en steering: wheel has been placed
uhich pives it a very realistic appear
ance indeed. The child furnhes the
motive power for the vehicle by push
ir.jr with its feet, and in this way pro
vides a healthy exercise as well as
r.musement for the little ones. The
device is on that tlx1 makers are
hrpeful wiil find a ready demand
r.i-ior.jr the public who are seekinir
t-ome loy for their little ones, and al
ready the Jiim has received several
rue's- for these auto-carts from resi
dents of this city and they will be
turned out as rapidly as possible. If
the demand for the toys jrrow as
strong as the firm expects it will fur
nish employment for quite a number
of skilled wood workers in turning
them out. Messrs. Peters and Pi'iker
have applied to the patent office for r.
patent on- the device.

Peter Claus has just had the old
residence of Attorney A. L. Tidd re
moved from its former location on Oak
stieet to the lot west of the German
Home, whee Mr. Claus will have it
refitted and placed in condition for use
as a residence and store building. Mr.
Claus expects to use the first floor
of the building for his second-hand
store, and will use the upper floor for
liviqjr apartments. This house has
had a rather checkered career in the
moving line, as it was built a great
many years ago by George Pronger, a
carpenter and contractor, on the lots
where xhe Parmole theater now stands.
When the theater was built the house
was moved to a lot on Oak street,
where it remained until the erection of
the new residence r.f Mr. Tidd made it
necessary to once more move the old
houe. .7. IT. McMaken. who did lhe

LYMAN H." -HOWE'S
FESTI
VAL IS COMING
The Date, Friday Night, February 16.
and the Place, Parmele Theater,
the Attraction, Lyman II.
Howe's Travel Festival.
One of the big features" reveals Sir
Douglas Mawson's Expedition into
the heart of Antarctica.
The theme is as illimitable as the
expanse of this seventh continent
200O miles' from the nearest habita
tion. The actors are ' university grad
uates not posing but engaged in a
more heroic conflict and with more
terrific elements than any pen could
describe.
The scenario was not arranged or
written by any dramatist, but in this
film more tense moments, more in
spiring heroism and more sublime
human endeavor are lived and enacted
than was ever recorded on any film
hitherto, and under the most appall
ing conditions.
The scenery is unlike any other for
this film unfolds wondrous great,
new vistas and strange sights of a
polar world which the most vivid
imagination could not conjure up.
Comedy? Yes, by hundreds pen
guins, and baby seals, the quaintest
comedians on earth, and more whole
some, refreshing and delightful than
any of the posed variety.
Diversity? Of course, because this
is a typical excellent -Lyman H.
Howe program, containing a great
variety of subjects, among which are
thrilling automobile races up the
steep inclines and around the sharp
curves of Giant's Despair, W ilkes-
Darre, Pa., the wonders of Yosemite
National Park, etc., and a liberal
measure of the exclusive "comics" for
which this entertainment is famous.

Emperor Summons Chancellor and
High Army and Navy Officials ti
Ccnfc rt nee at Headquarters.
London. Feb. 11. An important
conference at headquarters has been
called by Emperor William presum
ably to discuss the submarine ques
tion says the Exchange Telegraph
company's Amsterdam correspondent
today.
Dr. von Pethmann-IIollwcg, the
imperial chancellor, and hiirh army
and navy officials will attend and it
is reported, adds the correspondent,
that the possibility oT negotiations
with neutrals for modifying tlu
terr.is of the recent German memor
andum will be discussed.
Washington, Feb. 11. The German
proposal delivered to the state de
partment yesterday that means be
discussed of preventing the break in
relations from resulting in war ap
parently ha.-' struck no responsive
chord here. Xo ofucial would indi
cate today whether a reply already
had bee?: given, but there was no dis
position to deny that the proposal
had been made or that the American
government regarded it as an effort
on the pait of Germany to befog the
issue. It was made clear everywhere
in government circles that there was
nothing to discuss unless Germany
desires t- strip abridging American
rights and illegally menacing Ameri
can life.
GOVERNMENT WON'T
ARM SHIPS BUT Will
KE IT POSSIBLE
Washington, Feb. 11. American
shipowners who have been holding
their vessels in port because of in
ability to obtain guns for defense
against against submarines probab
ly will have their di:T:culiy solved in
a few days. Strong intimat io:s were
given in olllcial quarters tonight that
while the government will noL actu
ally arm merchant craft or even for
mally ndvi-e arming, a way will be
found to put ve:p"!s at the disposal
of owners who desire to prepare for
defense n gainst illegal attack.
The enforced idleness of the Amer
ican merchant fleet is being viewed
with growing Jisquiet and the gen
eral viaw he're is that not only the
export trade, but the nation's stand
ing before the world demands thai
American vessels continue to ply the
high .seas without regard to tho Ger
man proclamation, which the govern
ment has repudiated with the most
severe means in its power short of
war.

IN PLATTSMOUTH
FORTY YEARS AGO.
i . i i i i i 4 WVVV V"Wi
The lower looms of Fitzgerald
block have urdergone various re
pairs, and look fresh and nobby there
from. Eugene Mayfield, of Greenwood,
cimo down yesterday, to see the sights
and help sort up the Chronicle out
fit. Our merchants had plenty of corn
i. load the "Carrier" that landed here
.Monday p. in. but no sacks to put it
into.
Among those who returned from
Lincoln on the "excursion" last
right, we noticed, Capt. Marshall, C.
II. I'armele, Mrs. Agnew, Mr. and
.Mrs. Latham .Miss Dakin. Mr. and
Mrs. D. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
G order, Lou Moore, Jos. Leesley, and
a host of others, ar.il not on of the
accused the other of having a dirty
facet ?!
And there is not a man, woman, or
child in town who will not wish Mr.
Schlegel a happy and prosperous
voyage, a pleasant visit and a safe
let urn lame to America and Platts
mouth. The Stadelmanns also left
for Germany Tuesday, that is Mrs.
Stadeiman and Miss Josephine. The
Herald wishes tbm bon voyage and
:r :V re-tarn to home and friends.
As we go to press, we learn that
Charky Cyger met with quite a se
vere accident yesterday. He was
riding on a load of corn that was go
ing to the "levee, and as his feet were
dangling over the side of the wagon,
as they turned down the grade the
calf of his leg was caught between
the wheel and the side of the box,
causing a very severe contusion, but
happily no bones were broken.
Prof. Love narrowly escaped a ser
ious accident on Saturday last. As
he was driving out from Jones' stable
one of tile hold back straps broke,
and when he would hold on the ribbons
it would run the buggy against the
horse, and he was compelled to keep
a tight rein to dodge the many teams
on the street, till he got down oppo
site lluttery's Drug Store, the street
was comparatively empty, when he
loosened his hold and called out
whoa! and the little mare stopped.
Nothing else was broken and 'twas
lucky he was not spilled out.
