LOOKS LIKE A LOCAL
GANG TO US
From Thursdays Pally.
During the past few months and
coming down to weeks more so, and
during less than a week, there has
been two house breakings and one
unsuccessful attempt. You will re
member the cases of Guy Morgan's
place which was broken into and
that also of Earl Stanfield, and just
last Friday came to the case of the
Fetzer Shoe Store which was at
tempted to be raided, but who were
frightened away by Mrs. C. A.
Rosencrans who heard the plotters
and attempted to secure the police,
but the artists were away before
anyone could be secured. Last Sun
day evening a double burglary was
commit teed in the case of the Pool
Hall of A. M. Arries, where they
secured some $70.00 and other ar
ticles, gaining entrance through the
cold air pipe of the furnace. At the
next door C. L. Herger, they secur
ed two dollars, and tore things up
all over the house. These things are
happening pretty frequently and it
looks like the talent was focal, for
from their frequency. It could not
be the work of yeggmen. These
people should be combed out of the
community just as the government
is endeavoring to comb out the sub
marine from the waters of the At
lantic. HAS HAND BADLY MASHED.
From Thursday's raily.
Yesterday while Charles Grado
ville was working at his usual occu
pation in the Burlington shops and
was bringing into the shops some
passenger engine tires, one of the
steel rims which was broken caught
the third finger on his left hand
and mashed the flesh from the out
portion of the finger, taking the nail
with it. but left the flesh hanging.
He was rushed to the office of the
physician, and had the member
dressed, it being necessary to sew
the hanging flesh to the hand in
order to retain it in place until it
shall heal. The finger was giving
much pain, and while it is some
easier now, is causing the owner
much suffering,

CASS COUNTY COUNCIL OF DE
FENSE HAVE PUT BAN ON
THE USE OF THE LANGUAGE.
FORBID GERMAN OVER PHONES
The Patriot and the True American
Will Refrain From
Its Use.
From Saturday's Dally.
We are at war with an autocracy,
which has bred sedition, and enemy
propaganda under the guise of the
guilds, rid societies of ri it kinds,
which has been inimical the wel
fare of this government, and has
taught lax methods of promoting
true loyal ideas. The time has past
when under this guise or any other,
in the name of religion or other
wise we will allow the serpent Ger
man propaganda, to be longer fost
ered in our midst. The German
idea, the propaganda, the intrigue,
which only could be fostered under
the guise of the claimed culture oZ
the German tongue, has brought us"
as well as the world into this strug
gle. This is the way the Kaiser
has promoted and fostered the in
human ravages of the helpless of all
lands, and has with inhuman butch
ery devastated peaceful states, and
especially those which could not
help themselves. To longer, tolerate
such a means of a spreading treason
and treasonable teachings and allow
ing a cover for foreign teachings
and propaganda, is a thing no self
respecting American is willing to
stand for. The Executive commit
tee of the Cass county council of
defense at their meeting yesterday.
forbid the delivering of addresses
whether religious, or of any "other
character, in the German language.
Telling everybody that you are
in American, speak the American
language. They applied this mat
ter to the use of German over tele
phones, and have made it plain that
the German language must be erad
icated, keeping this country safe
from the inroads of the things
which this propaganda, has insid
uously taught this tongue. Many
thousands of Americans have died
and more than a million are now
engaged in deadly conflict with that
power which is trying to wreck the
world. Our allies have lost millions
of true men for the same cause, and
we are true Loyal Americans if we
permit and foster this serpent, in
the shape of the language which
has been and would still be the in
cubator here of butchery, rapine and
devastation.

AFTER CONSIDERING CONDI
TIONS. CONCLUDED COSTS
CERTAINLY REQUIRED IT.
ALSO REPEAL CURB GDGK ACT
Concluded The Requiring Its Fulfil
ment Would Work
Hardship.
From Saturday's Daily.
Every councilman was in his
place last evening when the gavil
of the mayor fell on the desk, no
minutes, but instead, a reading of
the call which brought the legisla
tors together. It was stated the Ne
braska Lighting Company has is
sued a notice stating that on the
0th day of July they would dis
continue the matter of furnishing
gas for the city, and for the trade.
and that they had withdrawn all
proposals regarding the continua
tion of supply of gas, to their
clientele.
Then began the threshing out of
the problem, and inquiries as to
what the company desired, but all
the information that could be gotten
was that they had withdrawn all
their propositions. The questions
was propounded, would the Nebras
ka Lighting Company accept the
proposition, should it be granted, of
raising the rates, to where the ordi
nance read, should the ordinance be
passed. No one seemed to know,
not even F. E. Smith their manager
here. Later discussion brought out
the fact that the question of rates
was not the only thing, but that
the Curb cock ordinance was worry
ing the lighting company, and they
wanted a dollar minimum charge as
well.
Johnson propounded the question
to the city attorney. What rights
have the city under the ordinance?
The judge evidently did not under
stand the question, for he arose,
and illustrated how prices had ad
vanced, as well as the price of all
commodities, and showed that all
other things had advanced, and were
advancing, when it was explained to
him by the mayor that he was not
speaking to the question. When
the question was re-stated, he said
that he thought there was no re
course, whatever action the Lias
company might take, for they had
no bond on the gas matter, but one
for ?2.500 on the street lighting
with electricity.
On motion by Luschinsky, sup
ported by Beeson, the matter of
reading the new adinance by title
the second and third time was
brought before the council. City at
torney J. E. Douglas advised the
reading of the entire ordinance
first and then proceeding with the
reading by title, this was done, and
the vote was taken, which showed,
Patterson, Kunsman, Buttery, Vorn-
dron. Johnson, Luschinsky, Beeson
and Harris voting for proposition.
while Weber and Larson voted
against it. After the reading of the
ordinance by title the second and
third time a vote was taken, and
the ordinance passed, with the same
vote for and against it, as on the
motion to take it up.
A motion was made by Johnson
and supported by Luschinsky to not
enforce the measures of the Curb
Cock Ordinance, which required the
placing of a shut off cock at the
curb of ull business houses, to pre
vent a recurrence of the conditions
which prevailed at the Zuckweiler
& Lutz fire. When ready -for the
vote. Larson called the council's at
tention to the fact that they could
not override an ordinance by a mo
tion. City attorney Douglas said he
could write an ordinance in five min
utes, and a recess was taken for
that purpose, and it was done. The
ordinance repealed the former curb
cock ordinance, and it was passed
by reading entire and later by title
the 2nd and 3rd time. and passed.

in this section, where he had lived
practically all his life. At the time
of his death he was a resident of

gone to Beaver City a few days pre

was heart trouble, from which he
had been bothered for some time.
Mr. Crabtree was born In Jack
son county, Ohio, in 1853, and at
the time of his death was 65 years
C months and 5 days of age. He
came to Cass county with his par
ents when but a year and a halt
old .and his life has been spent
largely in this county and nearby.
He was married in 1885 to Miss
Dora Wettenkamp, and was the fath
er of three children, two of whom
are still living Mrs. Ernestine
Porter and Herbert D., both of Lin
coln. Besides these he leaves to
mourn his loss two brothers, one
sister, two aunts, two uncles, and
numerous other relatives and a
large circle of friends.
The remains were brought back
to Lincoln, where a short service
was held at the home, then brought
to Eagle Sunday for burial in the
family lot beside his son. The fu
neral service here was held at the
Methodist church, conducted by
Rev. C. W. Williams of the Chris
tian "tabernacle at Lincoln, assisted

Mrs. Burns' Letter.
Here is a letter that is certain to
prove of interest to people In this vi
cinity, as cases of this sort occur in
almost every neighborhood, and peo
ple should know what to do in like
circumstances:
Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12, 1916.
"I used a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about
nine years ago and U cured me of
flux (dysentery). I had another at
tack of the same complaint some
three or four years ago and a few
dose3 of this remedy cured me. I
have recommended Cuair.nerlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy to doz
ens of people since I first used It."
