TRAIN STOPS OFTEN
From Monday's Dally.
Burlington train No. 5 from Chi
cago passing through this city at
8 o'clock a. m., stops here on a nav
erage of five out of seven mornings,
but it is the uncertainty of the mat
ters that prevents anyone having
business to transact in the metropo
lis from waiting for it and taking a
chance on it's stopping.
The train has no scheduled stop
here, but lets down passengers from
points east of Pacific Junction and
'so important is Plattsmouth among
the traveling public that nearly ev
!ery morning one or more step off of
No. 5 here.
' The commercial club plans to get
the railroad authorities to include
! Plattsmouth among the scheduled
stops of this deluxe train from the
east and in view of the large number
of mornings it is compelled to stop
( to let off passengers, it should prove
an easy undertaking.

HAS BEAUTIFUL PIECE ,
OF PERIOD DESIGNING
Emil J. Weyrich Completes a Phono
graph That is Perfect Piece of De
signing of Italian. Renaissance
From Tuesday's Dally.
For over the past year Emil J.
Weyrich the druggist, has been en
gaged in working on a phonograph
cabinet that he. had conceived in his
mind that would equal both in de
sign and workmanship the very ex
pensive models-that are en the mar
ket today. The finished result of his
work is on the floor of the store to
day and those who have had the
pleasure of. looking over the piece of
work have been loud in their praises
of the splendid results secured.
In seeking a type of period fur
niture Mr. Weyrich decided on that
of the Italian renaissance as being
the most perfect of the artistic de
velopment that was brought about
in the changing conditions in Eu
rope in the fifteenth century and
which brought to the front the won
derful artistic and beautiful types
that replaced the previous heavy
and ponderous gothic styles.
It was sixteen months ago that
the idea of the construction of this
case was first born and Mr. Weyrich
at orice prepared to carry out his in
spiration but to this work he was on
ly able to devote a very small por
tion of his odd time. To secure the
material was one of the big prob
lems of the workman and Mr. Wey
rich has been constantly on the
search for the best qualities of wal
nut timber that might be used in
this case that was to enclose the me
chanical soul of the phonograph.
Where evar any amount of this-old
and seasoned -walnut could be found
Mr. Weyrich w-as prompt in securing
it and has as a result a perfeetly
matched and designed case. The
panelings of this beautiful instru
ment are of the rarest mahogany
and ths carvings and designing ar
tistic in the extreme and perfect
types of the designs that were origi
nated by the Italian artists in the
renaissance. This period in tiie field
of architecture is one that has left
its impression upon the European
world and its influence has given, to
i the world the exquisite creations in
the light delicate types that replaced
the previous heavier types and even
in .the designs of the Elizabetfcian
and the early Stuart period in Eng
land this lighter type has left its
, impress. The Italian type has been
j the greatest in demand among col
j lectors and commands the highest
figures.
Every piece of work in the cabin
et with the exception of the labra
tory model of the New Edison has
been carried out by Mr. Weyrich and
the result is one that the owner can
well feel proud, of. v

GREENWOOD WINNER
OF SUNDAY'S GAME
Red Sox of This City Receive Shut
Out at Hands of the Fast Team
of Greenwcoa. 6 to 0
r roni Monday s Imllv
The lied Sox l.a.-e baJJ team of
this city journeyed out to Green
wood yesterday morning to take on
the .'jrinidahle base hall organizat.ua
of that city and on their arrival ll?y
found that the Greenwood team had
made preparations for a real game
as Meyers of the Western Leagi.o
was to do the tossing while Lyck
was the backstop for the team.
Greenwood has one of the best teams
in this portion of the state aside
from any battery they might secure
and the showing made by the Jocahi
was very 1 pleasing.
For the Red Pox dinners did the
slak work and pitched a clean and
fast game and held his opponents to
scattering hits, although in third in
ning through a time'y hit and sever
al fumbles the visitors registered
four of their scores at home.
William Patrick 0 Donnell proved
the spectacular stat of the game
when he grabbed ot'il two of the long
high flies of the Salt Creekers from
the .fence and ai&v;J in checking
the score.
The Red Sox several times had
runners on the bases but none were
in danger of getting over the plate.
For the Greenwood team Jardine
and Armstrong were the fielding
stars while Lyck was one of the
chief operatives with the big stick.
The score of 6 to 0 which was the
final result of the struggle was a
much better game than had been an
ticipated when the formable array of
base ball talent was looked over by
the Sax before starting in, and
shows that the Sox are capable of
playing mighty good ball when it is
necessarv.

Chief of Police Manspaeker who tak
ing a number of the young boys of
that locality into his confidence se
cured their services in locating the
eulprit and with, the result that Sat
urday evening one of the boys
"squealed" and gave the name of the
party who had broken the window
by using a sling shot. The father
of the boy who had used the sling
shot to such deadly effect, came
through with the price of the three
new window lights and peace and
harmony once more prevails in the

from the Burlington shops drew u
large number of the citizens and em

which was found to be in a small
frame building that is used for the
storage of brass as a part of the brass
foundry.

of hot ingots eff brass which had
been left in the building too near the
wooden partitions and which after
smouldering for several hours burst
into flames and damaged the building
to the amount of $250 it is estimat

tion ablaze.

stream of water playing on the blaze
and it was quickly extinguished.
