Knows Who Stole Robe.
With true detective ability, tho.se
who had a robe stolen from their
automobile a few weeks ago, kept
the matter quiet until they have at
last located the thief and they are
now in a position to deal with the
culpret, and are, on account of the
family of the offender, willing to
give the one who took it an oppor
tunity to return it to its rightful
owner. Otherwise a warrant will
be sworn out and the county sheriff
will be sent for the robe and the one
who stole it as well. You had bet
ter get in the clear while the getting
is good, for if you don't, it will not
bo long until the officer will be
knocking at your door.
Need Water Service Also.
A few of the more progressive cit
izens of Murdock have been behind
the electric lighting proposition, and
truly they have a vision of a better
city in the future. This was demon
strated by the fact that if the elec
tric lights had been burning in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. McHugh, the
gas lamp would not have been taken
to look for a book which was wanted
and the fire would have not occurred.
Again had Murdock had a water sys
tem the fire could have been extin
guished in its incipiency and the
subsequent loss been averted. It
seems a strange thing that after the
boosting for the lights, that Mr.
McHugh and family should suffer
their loss just on the evening of the
installation of the long desired ser
vice.

many more such happy events.

destroyed our home last week, when
the many and unstinted sacrifices,
all Murdock worked to their utmost
to extinguish the fire and save what
was possible of the effects of our
home. Not until all these kindly
manifestations and the services ren
dered, did we realize the true loy

appreciate the assistance rendered,

DRASTIC BOOTLEG
GER LAW PROPOSED
Stills and Material May Be Confis
cated and Extracts Cannot Be
Scid in Soft Drink Places.
Senator Randall of Cedar intro
duced a voluminous bill Thursday in
form of a revision of the entire pro
hibitory law of Nebraska. The bill
was prepared by the anti-saloon
I 1 i . A 1
league ana is supposeu to oe exactly
what the law enforcement workers
want.
The measure is S. F. 1S5. If it
becomes a law it will be unlawful
for arKv one to advertise stills or for
mulas for the making of intoxicating
liquors. Stills appear to be one of
thA principal targets of the bill. It
is unlawful to have a still or any
of the materials far making whisky
in the house. It further provides that
any place where liquors are unlaw
fully made may be closed by order
of a court.
Provision is made to curb the
unlawful sale of lemon or other ex
tracts, compounds or perfumes to per
sons who might have such a depraved
taste that he would drink such pre
parations for the purpose of becoming
intoxicated. So the bill fixes it so
that if a man is sent up town to buy
d little of lemon extract or a bottle
of perfume he will not rush into his
avorite bowling alley, pool hall, place
of amusement or soft drink parlor
It is declared unlawful to sell such
compounds in these places.
Another provision relates to costs
in prosecutions for possession of in
toxicants. It makes it possible for
the courts to charge up to the de
fendant the price, which an officer
of the law paid for a sample of the
wet goods in question, also costs for
drayageand like expenses in the ease.
In the matter of the manufacture
and sale of ethyl alcohol some new-
provisions are incorporated by the
terms of the bill. A druggist may
not sell such stuff unless it is first
rendered unfit for use as a beverage
It is also provided that a physician
may not prescribe alcohol for his
patients.
Another bill introduced by Itick
ard provides that soft drink parlors
must first obtain a license for leave
to sell their wares. The license
must come from the state depart
ment of agriculture.

"Since my experience with Tanlac,
I have never doubted that it will do
everything that is claimed for it,"
said George Crippen, an employee of
the Lafayette hotel at Clinton, Iowa.
"During the past two years I had
a world of trouble from indigestion.
Everything I ate seemed to lodge
right in the pit of my stomach,
where it fermented and formed gas
that bloated me up till it actually
hurt to fasten my belt. Any little
exertion in doing my work around

BENSON TEAM WINS
BASKET BALL GAME
Feferee Alsa Gives Local Team Short
End of Game on His Decisions
Last Night.
Prom Saturday's Dally.
The Plattsmouth high school bas
ket ball team that journey up to Ben
son yesterday afternoon to meet the
team of the schooy of that city last
nigt h.returned home minus the vic
tory and with reports of the manner
in which the referee had trampled
on their rights and privileges in a
more ruthless manner than even the
8th amendment.
The score was 41 to 21 when the
final whistle was blown and was
marked throughout with more or les3
trouble between the players and the
official of the game. In the early
portion of the contest the referee
made his sympathies clear when he
hung three foul3 on Schneider, one
of the effective players of the locals
and put the player out of the game
and forcing the use of a substitute
in the battle which was waging be
tween the two teams.
From the reports the Plattsmouth
boys were well able to deal with the
Bensonites, but their support from
the official enabled them to get the
best of ,the final argument and our
warriors of the baskets returned
home in defeat and in not the best
of humor over the treatment, received
