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.

A few evenings ago when the soft
warm breezes of the summer season
were inducing the householder to
fling wide the portals of their win- ,
dows and let the flower perfumed
zephers of Nebraska toss to and fro
through their home, one family re
siding in the south part of the city
had an experience that at the time .
caused them a great deal of alarm
and annoyance.
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.
Jonas Johnson departed this
morning for Mitchell, Nebraska,
where he will visit for a short time
with old friends in that city and
vicinity.
CALLED Oil SAD MISSION.
T. W. Glen of this city departed
yesterday afternoon for Orion, 111.,
: in response to a message announcing
the death at that place of his only
j sister, Mrs. William Sterns, who
! passed away Monday at the advanc
! ed age of eighty-two years and after
lan illness of some duration from the
infirmaties of old age. The death
ot Mrs. Stearns leaves the last ot a
family of seven children and the
parting with the sister has brought
a deep grief to our fellow townsmen.
