From Wednesday's Oaily After fl period of idleness cover ing a period of several months while the L. & Sharp estate was being closed up. the machine shop and foundry here that was established by the later Mr. Sharp, as well as the Alt:. -Maize mill will have a new base of life and in very capa ble hands will once more be made an active institution in the city and one that will employ from twenty to thirty men in handling the affairs at the plant. For the past ten days A. J. P. Birchey. the well known machine manufacturer of Omaha and who al so lias if regulation as one 01 the loaders in this line of work in the state of Iowa, has been here ar ranging the plant and having th. machine shop and foundry arranged for the ouenlne when it would re sume its former activities on even a larger scale than it had in the hands of Mr. Sharp. The machinery is being overhaul ed as rapidly as possible and put in j first class shape and will when started out be in a position where it can turn out a great deal of work ' in the various lines of which it will : be put. The new manager of the plant. '. Mr. Birchey. has a large number of . - a - 1 M " 1 , 1 . 1 1 1 special arncies mat win ue oanaieo ; in the plant when reopened for ser j vice and these include a special gas saver for automobiles, welding ap- : paratus of all kinds, Don -mechanical ' vacuum cleaner for closed cars, all i manner of machine models and other marketable features that can , be handled in a plant of the size and capacity of the one in this city. In connection with the machine j shop there will be operated a foun i dry as an aluminum and brass foun i dry and which will be of great as I sistance in carrying out the general i work required by an establishment ; of this kind. j One of the main industries that . will be featured at the plant Mr. j Birchey states will be that of the I re-conditioning of automobile mo : tors and which in the very cap ' able hands of the new manager and his force will be a very pleasing in stitution to this part of the state and" one that will save a great deal to the auto owners of the commun ity. With the present plan and ; the success that has followed the trials of the work that Mr. Birchey is going to place as one of the lead ins features here, there is no doubt that this will develop into a real big proposition. The local plant will be able to re-condition the motor and place it in first class shape and provide a new crankshaft that will be up to all standards and this will be at the most reasonable figure of $55 which the plant and its con dition here will permit of beintr given the public. This line of work is one that will be in demand and at the price that it can be carried on here will work a great saving to the patrons. The prices in the different sizes of car. the new mana ger states, will be maintained at the same ratio as in the smaller cars and give the public a real piece of work anil in this line there will be a demand from all over this part of the stae and adjoining territory. As the plant gets well under way there will be lines of manufactured articles to be turned out and the lew manairer hones to be able to .have one of the largest of the small er machine shops in the state located here. In the affairs of the plant. Mr. Alexander McLaren of Dayton. Ohio. OBe of the well known manufaetur- j ers of that m I is interested as lie ; has been here frequently and was a the plant yesterday looking over i the work of getting everything in readiness for work as soon as pos- . sible. The use of the mill will require J more time to develop but it is the j Intention to place this at some' practical use and to add it to the ' industries of the city in either its I original purpose if the available ma terial for grinding can be secured j or divert it to other lines that can use a building of this kind. Mr. and Mrs. Birchey are now moving to Plattsmouth and getting located and the new manager will i be right on the job in directing the affairs o fthe machine shop and it j is with pleasure that the Platts mouth people extend him a heart y ! welcome to the city as a permanent resident.

The lady of the house was busily engaged in her household work when she heard the old apple tree, of whose shade the poet and songwriter has raved, crackling, and the leaves stirring more than was caused by the wind and this being continued caus ed some little fright, a the tree com- manded a view of the interior of the i house and thoughts of burglars or midnight assassins were rapidly crowding through the mind of the lady when a sudden crash told of 1 the hurling of some heavy body down : through the tree and the cold,' un feeling thud that announced that it had arrived on earth. j From the facts the family sur- , mise that the tree was used as a watchtower or lookout for some per son who was more than curious over the affairs of their neighbors and had crept up the tree once too often, . onlv to be hurled from erace. In the future it is suggested that whoever was in the tree had better use the old fashioned step ladder or periscope if they desire to gaze upon the scenes within this home, or profit by their experience in the old apple tree and stay clear of other peoples' domiciles.

SECURES MORE BOOZE Prom TuMday'j Dai!y Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sher iff Hex Young paid another visit to I.i-nisville and as the result of his visitation the booze cache in the vault at the office of County Attor ney J. A. Capwell is enriched by the addition of two gallons of the com bination alcohol and water which lias been one of the popular drinks out in that part of the county. There has been a large assortment of booze acquired in the last few days at the office of the county at torney and as soon as the cases are disposed of the "evidence" will be destroyed. In marked difference to the dis posal of confiscated liquor in the prist. Sheriff E. P. Stewart is to have the hootch beer and alcohol brought out to the sewer in the street near the court house and publicly de stroyed so that everyone who desires can view the passing of the joy water. This is the practice as set forth by law for the destruction of the liquor and will undoubtedly be more satisfactory to the general pub lic than the more secretive method of destroying the booze. Roy V. Pepperberg of Lincoln, a former Plattsmouth boy and repre senting his cigar factory in the cap ital city, was here today. P. T. Becker returned home this morning from Pekin, Illinois, and other points in the east where he has been visiting for the past few weeks.
