v.ill by the person in whose posses
sion the car and the Intoxicating
liquor are found, a different ques
tion is presented. I will not care to
s-.y that under such circumstances
the acceptanc of a sum of money
for the school fund in lieu of the
car i neetssarily wrong."
The opinion states that If the car
In taken without the owner's consent
he believes the owner can in a prop
er proceeding establish his right to
the car end avoid forfiture.
The opinion was given in response
to queries regarding the compromise
effected in police court at York be
fore T. E. Sedwick. where C. E.
Sani'.all who had represented the
persons pleading guilty had also rep
rei r.tcd the Paie Alotor company,
County Attorney Denton Perry rep
resenting the state. In the matter
af eotintr confiscation of the car the
Tiiotor company alleged the bootleg-gr-r
had the car unlawfully. It was
agrei"! by tho?e before the police
Judge thnt the forfeiture ehould be
compromised, the motor company
paying tho state $"G0.55 and Costa,
the stae to release the car free of
all c!air;s. This was approved by
the police judg.
The hootlt-'sers who had pleaded
guilty to having liquor and trans
porting it in the car were James L.
Hrauhein and I; f chard 1). McCain.
Jure 17 both were fined $100 each
after a plea of guilty had been en
tered. The attorney general has given an
opinion to County Attorney Mark
Tly,n of Pender holding that aa fed-
tm! land bank mortgages are not
'Hxrib'e in any way they cannot be
Inducted from assessed value of
::;d when the land is valued by as--csFors
for taxation. It was held that
'l:e hind is assessable at Its full ac
'v.r.l valu" as found by the assessor.
Tl ere is no deduction irrespective
of the amount of the mortgage. To
hold othtrwise. it is stated, would be
! to place a burden upon other tan
gible property, inculding othr mort
gaged real estate.
Department Announces the Names
ot tamers on tne awo routes
Who will Serve Patrons
From Saturday's Daily
After some little delay in secur
ing the return of the reports of the
examination of the applicants for
the position of mail carriers on the
new delivery routes in this city, the
final orders were received here this
morning by Postmaster James "V.
Holmes and the service will be start
ed on Wednesday.
The carriers announced are Paul
Vandervoort, who will be assigned to
route N"o. 1, comprising territory on
the north side of Main street, and
Charles E. Stanton, who will have
route Xo. 2, comprising territory on
the south side of Main street.
The delivery service will be start
ed on Wednesday morning, but it
will probably require a few days or
a week before the routes are all lined
up and functioning in the best of
shape. The new service will be a
irreat convenience to the residents
of the city and the securing of it
; marks the culmination of an effort of
.several years duration, during the
I last year of which the local Chamber
.of Commerce and Postmaster Holmes
; have been greatly aided by Congress
man John H. Morehead, who devoted
'considerable time to pushing the
Plattsmouth free mail delivery be
fore the postoffice department.
I The patrons along the routes who
idesire mail delivered will have their
j boxes duly installed and ready for
I -. s -i . u in nrir thnt thpv mav lie
! supplied, or otherwise the depart
ment will not permit the carriers to
handle their mail and the proper
sidewalks must also be installed. The
routes are all well equipped with
walks and most of the residents are
all ready for the mail service with
suitable boxes. Those who are not,
should get busy or they will be out
of luck.
On Monday morning Leslie Xiel
of the local postal force will have
Mr. Vandervoort out on route No. 1
on the north side and visit all of the
residents along the route that ex
tends from the C. B. & Q. right of
way west to Spring street and from
Main to Dey street on the north. It
is desired that all of the residents
have someone at home that can sup
ply the carrier with the information
needed.
On Tuesday the carrier on the
south side, Mr. Stanton, will be ac
companied by Mr. Niel and visit all
of the homes to learn the names of
the residents there and ascertain
the fact of those having the boxes
properly placed.
If you have complied with all of
the requirements of the postal de
partment you can expect to hear the
postman's whistle at your door on
next Wednesday morning.
U. S. TO PROTECT ITS
CITIZENS IN BRAZiL
Government to Intervent If Live3 or
Property Menaced in Eevolt
Issue New Statement.
Washington, July 18. The Ameri
can government will intervene in
Brazil, now in the throes of a revo
lutionary uprising, if at any time
American lives or property are shown
to be in danger.
Authoritative announcement to
this effect was made at the State
department today.
Advices to the department today
indicated that the forces opposing
the government are losing ground.
The government apparently has now
shown Itself capable of putting down
the rebellion, and Brazilian officials
expressed themselves as confident
that complete victory over the revo
lution will be won within a few
days.
Government troops have surround
ed the city of Sao Paulo with artil
lery and federal authorities are in
favor of a thorough bombardment of
the city. The mayor and members
of the consular corps have protested
against this move, but it seems prob
able that nevertheless the heavy ar
tillery will be employed.

One of the heaviest rainfalls of
the year fell over Nebraska Thursday

in many places by damaging nail
and interupting rail traffic.
The greatest fall of water was re
ported at Benkelman. where between
5 and 6 inches of rain fell from 7:30
to 11:20 p. m. Thursday.
Burlington officials said Friday
water went into basements of houses
at Benkelman and other Republican
valley towns, to the depth of two
feet. The railroad tracks were un
der water most of the night, and
all traffic movement was held up
for five hours. When the tracks
cleared Friday, however. It was
discovered that no washouts had oc
cured. and trains were sent over on
regular schedules.
Farmers Tell Hail Losses.
Associated Press reports from
Kearney, York. Loup City, Beatrice
Ravenna. Wood River, Aurora. St.
Paul and Central City, all telling of
avy rains, indicated the general
nature of the torrential fall.
Farmers near Hastings welcomed
the rain, where 3.42 inches fell
bringing the month's total to 5.E
mchts. Small grain in the shock
was not damaged, and the rains were
needed for still growing crops.
A damaging hail storm that beat
down corn, oats and wheat, and was
accompanied by a high wind that
wrecked farm sheds and windmills.
swept over Platte. Polk and Nance
counties.
Farmers estimated their loss at 20
to 30 per cent, with a few reporting
almost complete loss due to the lit
eral threshing out the grain shocks
by the sharp cutting hall stones.
Telephone and telegraph lines fell
before the storm in Polk county.

L0EB ADMITS HE DID THE
KILLING, PAPER SAY.
Chicago, July 18. Proposal of a
Chicago newspaper to broadcast by
radio the proceedings in the trial of
Nathan Leopoldjr. and Richard
Loeb, confessed kidnappers and slay
ers of Robert Franks, a neighbor
boy, were severely critized by the
Chicago church federation today.
Young Loeb has finally admitted
that it was he who actually killed
the Franks boy, the Chicago Herald
and Examiner said tonight. The two
sons of Chicago millionaires made
confessions nearly identical concern
ing the kidnaping except that eacht
said he drove the auto used to ab-
duct the boy and accused the other,
of striking the youth over the head
with a chisel and gagging and j
strangling him in the car. Loeb, thej
newspaper said, learned that the!
penalty was the same regardless of'
whether he drove the car or struck'
the blows, and then admitted that he
killed young Franks.

hardly turn in bed and was sore

down and wait for these attacks to
pass off. A while after I commenced
to use Doan's Pills. I began to im
prove. I got several boxes from Wey

they finally gave me permanent ben

failed. I always keep Doan's on
