ALLIED TROOPS
POOH iNTQ ITALY
TO AID 'ROMANS
FEENCH REINFORCEMENTS ;
COME ACROSS SNOW-COVERED
ALPS TO AVOID WAITING
FOE CONGESTED TRAINS.
London, Nov. It;. The British
correspondent accredited to Italian
headquarters in a dispatch dated
Thursday, says:
"Allied reinforcements are reach
ing Italy daily in increasing num
bers. To avoid waiting for trains
on the congested railway some
French troops have been brought
across the Alps through the snow
covered passes. The allied troops
are marching steadily forward to
their appointed places in the Italian
scheme of defense.
"Both the British and French are
in high spirits. They are delighted
at the change in scene and over the
prcspect of a new adventure.".
The Daily Mail's correspondent at
Italian headquarters under date of
Friday, tells of the grave difficulties
of the Italian defenders on the Tren-
tino mountain frontier, where the
same troops day after day are re
sisting the enemy without oppor
tune v for rests, while the Autro
Germans, having greater reserve,
assault incessantly with freli and
vigorous troops. Nevertheless, the
correspondent adds, the main bul-
warks of the defense remain firm,
and presumably it will net be long
before the allied help makes itself
apparent.
CARPET FLOOR WITH
SUGAR NE OATMEAL
From Saturday's Dally.
This paper made mention of r
family in destitute circumstances
where the father is constantly era
ployed and making fair wages, the
neighbors when the article appeared
took things to eat, and for the
children to wear, but it is net seem
ed to be appreciated, for the goods
were sat cn the Poor, and the
children immediately began to open
the packages and- rentier the oat
meal and sugar over the floor, with
the other things similar. This is a
case where the authorities should
step in and do something with these
children for they are entitled to a
better heritage, than to lie contin
ued in such a condition. If the
parents can not or do not care for
them it is time some one else did
There are plenty of good homes in

When he had gotten to the place
where the hole in the tree was he
thrust his hand in x nd securing
pood hold of the animals tail, en
deavored to pull him out. But with
the claws it held on and "Betsey

whipped out his knife and stabbed
it in the back, which caused the
animal to jump ans jerK loose from
Mr. Bookmeyer, carrying with it the

ing this his stopping pis ce' for some
time was a visitor in Omaha jester
day 'and remaining for the concert

FRED WEGEIf EE LT0T IMPROVING
From' Sat urd.'iy's Daily.
Itc-ports from the bedside of Fred
Wegener, state that h)3 condition
does not improve, and he stays in
an unconscious condition, and Iut
rarely shows any signs of returning
consciousness. For a moment day
before yesterday he opened his eyes
and asked regarding the market for
May corn, then elapsed into uncon
sciousness again. Dr. Updegraff e
of Omaha, who has been called on
the case, does not offer any hope of
improvement, etill he says I would
not say he would not get -.veil.! His
condition seemingly har hut little to
base hope upon. His injuries came
about by his trying to stop a mule
from passing out at the stable door,
he grabbing it around the neck,
when it swung around, throwing
Mr. Wegener against a stone wall.
striking his head with much force.
THOUGHT WALKING
GOOD FOR HEALTH
From Saturday's Da!i.
5 estcrday a man or load of men
with an automobile, droppod into
Plattsmouth and got shaved, and was
talking about getting a farm, when
they ran across one cf the local real
estate men, who was interested im-
c-dintely, and said he had a farm
for sale which was well improved,
which he had for sale.
The. traveler asked where the
farm was and was informed that it
was about six miles cn the country.
Well just jump into ay car and we
v.-ill go out and see it and I will
bring you home again. They went,
aud when they had arrived at the
farm, the traveler cast a. glance at
the surroundings and said, "Oh, I
would not hae that place ta all."
The argument grew warm, and the
car was turned around driving back,
until they arrived at the road
running south from this city to Un
ion, but several miles south of here.
when the traveler said to our Real
tor, "sorry, but I cannot take you
back to town, I inn in a hurry, you
v.ill lind a ride easily," and turned
him int3 the road, notwithstanding
his vigorous protestations. And he
v alkcd home, too, while walking was
good. Now to get him to try the
same trip over you would have to
give a guarantee bond for a dozen
times the amount cf the cost of
rending for a car to come after him.
