MISSOURI RIVER
IS CAUSING SOME
REAL DAMAGE
Five Acres of Land Near Folsom. Ia.,
Washed Into the River Say
Reports from There.
From Tuesdav's Daily
The Missouri river, which in the
past has been washing away a great
deal of the fertile farminc land on
the bottoms on the Iowa side of thesisting the team to win their con-
river is once more on its old tactics
and the scene or the latest trouble
is near Folsom where several years'
ago the Burlington had such a diffi-)
cult time to prevent their tracks be-
ing swept into the river.
Yesterday there were some five
acres of land swept into the river as
the result of the undermining of the
bank and fhe caving in of the land.
The river at flood stage has done
very little damage, but as soon as
the stream starts falling the cut
banks give way and many .acres are
destruction can be checked.
It is at this point that bo much
of the washing away of land has
taken place and the river has shown
a strong current against the Iowa
bank that has nibbled off piece by
piec some of the best farming land
on the Iowa bottoms and forced the
moving ot the tracks at dinerent
times to prevent them being washed

MYSTEROUS DISAP
PEARANCE OF MAN
Fears Entertained that James Burke,
Residing Near Union. May
Have Been Drowned.
From Tuesday's I'ally
The mysterious disappearance of
James Burke, aged 25 years, who re
sides on an island in the Missouri
river just east of the Frank Hughson
farm near I'nion. has stirred that lo-;
cality very much in the last few days,
and so far there has been no trace
of the missing man found, and it
feared by the relatives and friends .
that he has met his death in the
waters of the o'd Missouri river.
Mr. Burke has been engaged in the:
building of a residence on his island
farm north and east of Union near!
the Iowa side of the river and dur-j
ing this time he has been making
trips to and from Union where his
wife has been at the home of her
parents. Rev. and Mrs. Edgar Fletch-!
er. during trie time that the new
home was being built.
On Thursday afternoon Rev. Flet-j
cher drove the young man with a
load of provisions to the spot that he
used as a landing near the Hughson
farm, and at the last seen of Mr.
Burke he was engaged in loading hia
provisions in bis skiff which was
equipped with a sail and preparing
to leave for his home on Cottonwood
Island- Rev. Fletcher had at once
returned to Union and did not see
or hear anything more of his son-in-law.
There had been a lapse of several
davs when the vounsr man failed to
return to Union and this worried the
members of the family to some ex-
tent, but it was not until Sunday
iouslv alarmed,
for him and it
t-aa not at his
that they became ser
and started a search
was foud that he w
home cr anv trace of the skiff to be,"
foun'T
One of the vcung men who resides
not far from the landing reported
he had heard cries f'otn that vicinity
on the day that Burke disappeared,
but thought nothing of it until the
inquiries were made as to the where
abouts of Burke.
Yesterday there were searching! Ration, several of the car-owner mem
narties nut along the river banks try-! bers of the P8t having signified their
ng to find some trace of the missing
man or his skiff and it is thought
that the sail on the boat may have
caused, it to turn over and throw the
owht and the provisions out into
'he river and caused the death of
the young man.

GEORGE K. PET
RING PURCHASES
THE 0 K GARAGE
Now Has Two of the Finest Garage
Euildinirs in This Portion of
the State to Look After.
From Monday's Dany
George K. Petring. the local rep
resentative of the Ford interests and
owner of the Plattsmouth Motor Co..
has added to his holdings in the city
by the purchase of the O. K. garage
on Washington avenue, one of the
fjnest garage buildings in this por-
'finds the garae-e wholly inadequate
for his uses and making the need
of additional room very imperative.
The O. K. garage, which e has
just purchased, is one of the hand
somest and well arranged eraraee
;Dunuinss inai rouin possimy o tit
sirei and wil in a large measure aid
m housing the cars and the business
of Mr. Petring in addition to bis
other garage and both will be kept
in active operation, altho the O. K.
garage building will probably be
used largely as the storage building
for cars and a filling station as well
as for sohws rooms for the Ford cars,
there being well arranged storeaee
stalls and attractive display rooms.
The building at the time of its
erection cost some $75,000 and has
xs a!s' "ontinuance by Mr. J. H
McMaken been without local owner
ship and it is pleasing to the Platts
mouth people to know that it has
been taken over by as keen and ac
tive a business man as Mr. Petring
who will place it once more in actual
service.
With the two buildings Mr. Pet
ring will have one of the most com
plete line of garage properties in the
stPte. which, with his rapidly in
creasing volume of business should
be both kept up to the full limit of
! activity.

WELFARE OF NEW
CAPITOL DISCUSSED
R. Kimball Meets with Commis
sioners Goodhue's Will May
Direct His Assistants.
Fpom Tusdy's Pally
Thomas R. Kimball of Omaha,
former president of the American
insitute of architects, conferred with
the capital commission Monday fore
noon at the request of the commis
sion. The conference was for the
purpose of discussing plans for the
continuation of work on the new
capitol. In view of the sudden
death of Bertram G. Goodhue, the
commission's architect, hte commis
sion is desirous of knowing what
legal steps should be taken to con
tinue the contract in the event the
estate of Mr. Godhuee is prepared
to proceed with the work of carry
ing out the plans of Mr. Goodhue.
Whether or not it is necessary to se
lect a new architect or to continue
the five year contract with the
uoodhue estate are questions that
have arisen. The commission will
discuss every phase of the case be
fore conferring with the adminis
trator of Goodhue.
Mr. Kimball was professional ad
visor of the commission when it
called for a competitive contest of
architects or the country whu-n re- ,
suited in the selection of Mr. Good-,

Ptruction. He is now in charge ot
the publications of the American In
situte of architects. He helped draw
hte contract between Goodhue and
the state commission
"I do not know what hte commis
sion desires of me," said Mr. Kim
ball when he arrived a the capitol
Mni'ilav "I do not anticipate any
difficulty between the commission
and the estate of Mr. Goodhue in re-
gard to a continuation of the work.
I believe something will be found in
Mr. Goodhue's will in regard to the
earniu on of work which is uncom-
P'ed at the time of his deaht. His
ideas of what should be done in the
ov rt of nis death will doubtless be '
incorporated in his will.
"If the administrator or estate
does not feel like continuing the
work on the Nebraska capitol I am
sure the American Institute will be
willing to aid by recommending an
able architect who could proceed
'Aitn the Goodhue plans, which are!
prattlcalI' completed. I think that;
could be done without extra cost to

Money that Holds Back
Prosperity!
In order that Plattsmouth and Cass
county may prosper, there must be plenty
of money available to carry on business
and to develop new sources of income.
Money hoarded at home doesn't do
this work. It contributes nothing to the
general welfare. It holds back prosperity.
Put your money in this bank! It's
safer here, and promotes prosperity in
which you will share.

home in this city for several months
as a pet, developed his ancestral
traits and attacked the small six-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Prichard. who as at the Merritt home
and inflicted severe painful, but not
j serious lacerations on the flesh of the
arms ana legs 01 tne iaa.
The Pritchard boy had gone to the
Merritt borne on an errand for his
parents and was accompanied from
his home on North Fourth street to
the Merritt home by his pet dog and
when he arrived at the Merritt place,
the wolf that has been a pet since
he was found as a tiny cub in a wolf
den near this city, at once started in
to show warlike indications toward
the dog and the little Pritchard boy
tried to drive away the wolf from his
pet. and with the result that the ani
mal turned on the boy and bit him

treated by Dr. R. P. Westover and it

the experience with the wolf, as the

least, although the lad is consider
ably shaken by the experience that
