John Morton Bartlett was born September 20, 1S89. at Imogene. Ia.. and was reared there in his boyhood days until he attained manhood s es tate and entered into his own life. On September 3. 1913. at Lincoln. Nebraska, he was united in marriage ence. who. with the wife, remains to share the deep grief that the separa tion has brought to them.

April Ford Sales Greatest in Omaha Branch History The April retail delivery of 4.833 Ford cars and trucks by dealers within the Omaha branch territory which comprises eleven counties in western Iowa, seventy-nine counties in Nebraska, and twelve counties in the Rosebud and Black Hills section of South Dakota, was the greatest in the fifteen years of the branch's history. The healthy financial condition of the Omaha branch territory is force fully indicated by the fact that the past month was the greatest retail buying month in the history of the Omaha branch, which was establish ed in November, 1909. The Plattsmouth Motor company, local dealers, helped make this phe nominal Omaha branch retail sales record possible turough the delivery of 46 cars and trucks during the month of .iprii. This is indicative of the healthy condition of affairs in Cass county and speaks well for the salesmanship of the local agency which is always well up at the top of the list of deal ers in Omaha branch territory.

COMING FROM EUROPE From Wednesday's Daily The fact that the American senate is preparing to raise the bars on a large percentage of those who desire to emigrate from other countries to the United States is causing many of those who have relatives or friends in Europe that they desire to come here to live, to get started on the routine that will be necessary before they can secure passports and permission to be landed here in the land of the free. Already this season. L. G. Lar son, the local agent of the Cunard lines of steamships, has disposed of four tickets, three for parties resid ing in Germany and one in Poland, i There is a great deal of red tape to be gone through with in securing a' passport and this has been greatly I added to the I3st few years by the special legislation by congress.

Remodeling of the Former Dovey Buildings to Give Company a Modern Store Building , P,m t,c,i,,.v r,in- The H M Soennichsen company which some time ago purchased th hniMin nn nnnor T9in trt nu-n. he buildings on upper Main street own ed by the former E. G. Dovey & Son firm .are now busy in their plans for hte remodeling of the buildings so that they will better accommodate the large stocks carried by this com pany and be made more up to date and modern for the uses of the store. The east room, which was former ly used as a restaurant and which was damaged by fire last summer has been refixed and remodeled and j is now a very attractive appearing room and the company has not only I decorated the room, but has put in a( I new ceiling and new lighting fix- tares of the latest type and now have the shelving placed in the room u-hu-h in trip nevt fpw months will be the chief place of business for j the large retail company during the ; time that the other portions of the two buildings are being arranged. The stock will soon be transferred to the newly prepared room and here the business will be handled while the changes are being made in the other parts of the store. The connecting wall between the main storerooms will be taken out atd pillars placed there instead of tne solia wails witn passage area ways, and this will give tne company a very large storeroom and one in which its stocks of dry goods, shoes and general merchandise carried in a department store of this size can be properly displayed to the great est advantage. Another part of the remodeling pians include the construction of modtin fronts in all rooms of the building similar to that just placed in the east store room and with which much greater space for display can be had. The changes will require some time, ixit when completed the build ing v ill be one of the most attract ive in the business section of the city and a credit to the town and to the enterprise of the H. M. Soennichsen company. The grocery store of H. M. Soen nichsen just west of the Journal of fice will be continued in its present location as the volume of business handled by this department is very large and requires a great deal of store room which cannot be found in the upper Main street store at this time.

May; 15th. Bishop Beckmann will arrive in Lincoln and be received into his new see in that city with appropri- ate services. During the period following the death of the late Bishop Charles J. O'Reilly, the business affairs of the church in the Lincoln diocese have; been in the hands of Father Shine j as administor. and with the coming of the now bishop he will be reliev ed of this work which has taken up J a good bit of his time and called him to Lincoln frequently. VERY SICK IN FLORIDA The many friends of Amos Mc Namee. former Union man, were very much shocked in the last few days to receive word from LaBell, Florida, where Mr. McNamee has been living, that he is in very serious condition there as the result of two paralytic strokes and his condition was such as to cause the gravest apprehension as to his recovery. A brother. Charles McNamee, of Brush. Colorado, was at St. Joseph, Missouri, with a load of stock for the stockyards there and was notified of the illness of the brother and came on to Union to be with the mother. Mrs. Nancy McNamee, who has been greatly affected by the news of the serious condition of the son, and he will leave as soon as possible for Florida in the hopes of being able to bring Amos back to Nebras ka if his condition will permit and to be cared for at the old home.

MASONIC PLANS FOR ADDITIONS TO HOME IN THIS CITY Infirmary Costing $125,000 First Unit at Institution John R. Webster Building Head. From Monday's Dally Plans for the development of the Nebraska Masonic Home at PlattB mouth, which will come before the state grand lodge for approval in June, provide for the development of an infirmary and home at a cost of approximately half a million dollars. Plans for the institution have been drgwn by John Latenser and Sons, Omaha architects. The landscape development will follow plans pre pared by Henry Wright, St. Louis architectural landscape expert, who has guided George & Company in its Omaha landscaping. Bids are being taken now by the building committee, headed by John R. Webster of Omaha, for the in firmary of the institution, the cor ner stone of which, it is hoped, will be laid during the grand lodge ses sion in June. This building will be of four stories. Alternate bids will be re ceived for brick and stone. It is the hope of Mr. Webster that stone may be used. The estimated cost of the infirmary, first unit, is 125 thou sand dollars. Under the present plans for the home the grounds would be bounded on the east by a new paved street leading into Plattsmouth, which would make unnecessary the present hill climb skirting the home on the west. Several city blocks are in cluded in the property. World- Herald.
