Furlong, south of this city after an illness of some dur ation in which the patient has grad ually been growing weaker as the infirmities of his advancing years came on him. Coming to Cass county, as he did, at the close of the civil war, he has witnessed the passing away of the once thriving little frontier town of Rock Bluffs and saw the locality once a busy river shipping town grow back into the primitive and where today the cornfields mark the for mer city where this hardy pioneer came with his wife and young family at an early day to make their home. Samuel Lawrence Furlong was born in Michigan October 20, 1S39. and was married at llanden. Dela ware county. New York, in 1860 to Miss Calpreina Low; and to this un ion there were nine children born, four of whom preceded the father and mother In death, those who have passed on being George W., Carrie, Charles W.. and Myrtle. The surviv ing children are Frank II. Furlong, Seattle, Wash.; Marcus L. Furlong, Plattsmouth; Edward O. Furlong, Steamboat Springs, Colo.; James W. Furlong. Denver, Colorado, and Al bert C. Furlong of Fortland, Oregon, t The family came to Nebraska and 'settled in Cass county in 1870 and have since made their home here and it was in the family homestead that the wife and mother several years ago reecived the call to her last re ward. Mr. Furlong was a very devout member of the Methodist church. : joining at an early age and remain ing in that faith until his death. Po- tne deceased was a very strong republican and also was a vet eran in tne pronibltlon movement which was placed back of the folds of the American flag. The services were very impressive and one of tender recollection and tribute to the brothers who have gone on before to take their places in the world beyond the mortal vi sion. During the life of Plattsmouth lodge No. 739, established in 1901, the following members have passed away: J. M. Patterson, P. W. Agnew, O. C. Bookmeyer. F. J. Morgan, S. M. Chapman, C. E. Coffey, F.

The prisoners were about as much startled as the sheriff at the sudden development and -without hestitation they march ed back Into the cell room and were again locked up. There are two doors leading to the cell room, one of bars and the other a solid iron door that is held by a padlock. As there are no very des perate charactere held in the jail usually the fastening of the one solid door is sufficient. Late Saturday night Joe Davis, alleged forger, was placed in the jail to keep company with the colored man who is serv ing a sentence for having robbed the home of John Koukal a few weeks ago, and the two prisoners evidently hit on a method of getting out into the open. They secured a small sec tion of water pipe which they used as a pry through the door and broke loose the padlock and were out into the ante room from whlrh ihv L. Jahrig was called to his final re ward after an illness of some dura tion during which time he had been suffering frcm hardening of the ar teries. , The deceased was M years of a?e and was a native of Germany, com ing to America' when a young man and has made his home here for the greater part of his natural lifetime. He was one of the quiet, steadfast citizens of the community. He was born in Saxony, November 11, 1S4 3, and spent his youth and young man hood in his native land where he was employed as a weaver. In the year 1SS1, with-his wife and family, he came to America and located at Louisville where he resided for sev eral years, later coming to Platts mouth where he entered the employ of the Burlington in the shorte here and remained in their employ until about IS years ago. He then depart ed for Cambria; Wyoming, where he Jwas engaged in employment with one of the mining companies there, nine years ago returning to Plattsmouth where he has since resided. The first wife of Mr. Jahrig passed away in 1S9S in this city and later in 1915 he was married to Mrs. Cecelia Reich, who is left to survive him. H also leaves four children by his first marriage, J. It. Jahrig of Platts mouth. Mrs. Augusta Weber of How ard. Montana. Mrs. Bertha Buck of Osage, Wyoming, and W. G. Jahrig of Glendive, Montana.

The first grees were confirmed in a very able and impressive manner by Miss Clara G:'.gune, of Falls City, district dep uty, assisted by the team from Court Columbia, Omaha. After the initia tion a bano.uet was served to the eighty-five members and guests. The banquet was in charjre of the ladies of the Holy Rosory altar so ciety under Mrs. John J. Svoboda. The tables were beautifully decorat ed in the C. D. of A. colors purple and gold, and the color scheme was carried out through the different courses. This banquet adtl?. another leaf to the laurels already v. on !v theso ladies fists i agers. The program following the quet was in charge of M!s Teresa Hemple. a past mrster. Miss Ilem ple's introductions were i'.propo, f;;ll of wit nr.:! embodied the "soul of wit." Mi.-s Garuno was first on the program and in her address urged the Catholic Daughters to have a defi nite purpose and aim to stimulate and keep interest in their locnl or ganization and impressed oa them the necessity for unity and co-operation. Damian Flynn sang "Little Mother O' Mine." and for an encore, Sj "The World is Waiting fr the Sun- p rise." given in the usual finished manner of this talented young man. Father Shine followed and in his usual forceful and pleasing manner, spoke to the Daughters on their op portunities and responsibilities, not only as Catholic Daughters, but as Daughters of America. ?nd of the necessity for education among them selves in matters of their Faith and the harm that may be done by ig norant Catholics who are unable to give intelligent or correct answers to qi;ctions often asked them, thus giving rise to erroneous opinions en tertained by non-Catholics. Father Shine strcrsed the importance of re M?,ious training in youth and said the training of the mind .and body is not sufficient, but the heart must also be trained and that can be done only through religious instruction. Father Shine closed his address by urging the Daughters to interest themselves in civil affairs, to know their rights and to uphold them, that they may be not only fine Catholic Daughters, but also fine Daughters of America.
