ECLIPSE OF SUN IS HIDDEN BY CLOUDS THIS MORNING Eighty-Seven Per Cent Obscuration! of Sun Shown in Very Dark Conditions Early Today. From Saturday's Dally The moon in its journey around its circuit today passed between the earth and the pun and for a few moments the shadow of the queen cf night was visable on the earth, the total obsecuration prevailing: in a narrow stretch of territory through Minnesota and Wisconsin and thence on southeasterly to the Atlantic seaboard. The eclipse in thi3 section was 87 per . cent of obscuration but the clouds that gathered in the day break prevented any observation of the shadow of the sun and the only sign f the eclipse was the extreme dark conditions that prevailed In th cloudy weather from 7:45 to 9 o'clock when the shadow passed from in, front of the sun. . , Those who failed to see the eclips today will have to wait until, June 1954 for another try at the view of the sun and at that time it will be 9 6 per cent obsecured in this terri tory. ' The present eclipse is the greatest that has been visable in this terri tory since 1869. A total eclipse is visable at any one point, it is said, only about once in 350 years, so those who resided in the main path of the eclipse will not have a chance to again see an eclipse in their lifetime.

In the issue of the Saturday Even ing Post there appeared a large ad vertisement of the furniture depart ment of the Wanamaker store at Philadelphia and which to a num ber of the older residents brought the fact to mind that a former resident here was at the head of this end of the big eastern store. In was many years ago in the early eighties that Will Geyger was a resident of Plattsmouth where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Geyger had located at an early day, and "Willie." as he was known then, en tered the employ of fhe store of his uncle, the late Henry Boeck, and from a general utility man around the store he soon made a great show ing as a salesman and was allowed by Mr. Boeck to look after the sale of the goods in the store and proved a real business success. He, after a few years, accepted a position with Dewey & Stone, then the leading furniture house of Omaha and the west and from where he entered the Wanamaker stores in the east and made a decided success of his work in this line. After locating in the east, Mr. Geyger returned to this city and was married to a neice of Mr. and Mrs. Boeck. The ad in the paper, like 6hips that pass in the night, recalled to the minds of the old time friends the story of the successful career of this former resident. date devices for cutting the gas con sumption of autos and also securing greater mileage from them, from New York City. The Chicago Yel low Cab company which is installing the by-pass on their cars and expects to make a saving of several thousand dollars each year, has interested the New York concern in them and the tests have proven that they are real money savers in cutting down the amount of gasoline used and also in keeping the engines in better shape by lessening the carbon that forms as this is removed by the use of the By-Pass. The shipment of the By Pass to New York will be made at once from Chicago and more of them sent to Chicago to supply the demand. JOE EREJCI OUT From Saturday's Dally Joe Krejci, who was elected cap tain of the 1924 basketball team of ; the high school and who has been prevented from playing this season by reason of having his leg broken in the football game at Nebraska City on Thanksgiving day, wa3 pres ent last night at the Plattsmouth Eeatrice game, the first that he has been able to attend.

MOVEMENT TO PREVENT A REPITITION OF FLOOD In order to prevent future damage to property In the north part of town from the overflowing of Mill creek. caused by the blocking of the pile brige maintained by the Missouri Pacific Railway company near the semaphore, the matter has been tak en up with the railway commission, and as a result the Missouri Pacific will construct a new bridge with a clearance of 46 feet. They will also raise their track two feet and the Burlington will raise their bridge and roadbed two feet. This will ne cessitate the raising and widening of the county bridge to conform to the proposed railroad bridges. The Burlington will also throw up a dike along the north bank of the creek and will clean out the big ditch west of the Duff elevator, so that the bottom land may be drain ed. The commission also requests that the creek be straightened where the abrupt curve occurs to prevent an overflow of the Burlington house tracks. This expense will have to be borne by the village.
