The banking business is one of more than ordi
nary interest to the community in which the institution
is located.
To make the work of the bank most effective,
there must be a confidence between the bank of its
patrons, and between in fact the whole community.
Any fear of a financial institution is immediately
reflected in the business of the whole community.
The bank which has proven its worth to the com
munity is the one which has stood the test of good and
adverse times and stands ever ready for the service of
the whole community.
The patrons' interest and the community good is
the bank's first concern. We are here for the service
of the entire community.
Thanking you for your confidence, co-operation
and earnest work for our community, we invite your
business.

Looking fcr a Location
James P. Flynn of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, was a visitor in Murdock dur
ing last week, looking for a location
for a barber shop. He made inquir
ies also as to the cost of lots on
Main street, indicating his desire to
build a place for business. While we
know that Murdock is a pretty good
place for business for one man, we
are hardly persuaded that it would
be very good for the second shop, j
Had Excellent Time
The members of the Young Peo
e;
ical
pies association of the Evangel
church at Murdock entertained the
same society of the Callihan church
at a weiner roast at the grove at
the home of Henry Itueter last Tues-
day. The evening was fine and the
crowd surely did enjoy the occasion,
Games were played in the moonlight
and the roasted weiners were a de-
light to all. i
Attend the Alvo Trial
A. J. Bauers with his auto, took
Wm. Deikman, Alvin B. Bornemeier!
and Louis Schmidt to Plattsmouth
last Thursday, where they all went
to be present at the courts which Is
in session and which was hearing on
that date a case in which some par-'
ties near Alvo were interested. The)
gentlemen returned home in the
evening.
Car Shuns the Bridge
A few evenings since while Mr. C. '

Will Employ a Nightwatcninan
Murdock has heretofore rested in
the supposed security of many in
land towns, and were rudely awak
ened to the fact that criminals visit
all places, by the repeated robberies,
and as a precaution have been con
sidering the matter of employing a
night watchman for the purpose of
looking after the security of the
town after the people have gone to
bed. At a meeting held last Thurs
day evening the town board had the
matter up for consideration at their
regular meeting.

REMOVE HULL OF MIS
SOURI RIVER STEAMER
"West Wind" Was Packet on Which
First Steam Wagon Came to
Nebraska City in 1862.
The steamer "West Wind." a Mis
sissippi river packet of historic name
and fame, was sunk near Glasgow,
Mo., 57 years ago. A few days ago,
due to the low stage of the river,
part of the hull stuck up above the
sand and was removed by a dredge
boat. This little bit of history about the
"West Wind" is of interest to Ne
braska Citvans. or ought to be, for!
it was the "West Wind" that brot
the eld steam wagon the first au
tomobile" that ever crossed the Mis
Ritssinni river to Nebraska Citv. It
was from the freight deck of the
"West Wind that the Joseph Brown
mechanical device was pulled ashore
somewhere about 182. The monu
ment commemorating the event
stands near the Burlington passenger
station at this moment. Inside the
station is the drawing of the Bteam
propelled monstrosity which was
tried out but failed to work.
Regarding the final destruction of
the steamer's old hull, a Glasgow,
paper said the other day:
"The low water stage of the Mis
souri river exposed a part of the hull
of the steamer West Wind, a packet
running on the river in the early
'60's. The boat was set on fire by
the Confederate military forces en
gaged in the battle of Glasgow,
which occurred 57 years ago last!
Saturday. The boat was destroyed on
Sunday. The charred hull sank and
was soon embedded in the mud. The
low stage of the river made the hulk
a menace to the ferry and Sound
company's boat, the latter having
been damaged by ramming a part of
it only a few days ago.
"Word was sent to the U. S. snag
boat Missouri, which was nearby, and
she came up Tuesday and removed all
the parts projecting above the bot-
