The Gazette says: "Even the simplest workman's funeral costs $75, which is beyond the mans of most proletarian families.

The dispatches say these imen have pleaded guilty, although i refusing to give details which might j lead to further arrests. Two Catholic ; priests, Vicente Salas and Jose Cac ! tillon, and a newspaperman Ignacio j Gonzalez, secretary of the organiza tion, are also reported to be under arrest. According to the Tampico dis- hJ I patches, the wife of a prominent Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus appeared be fore the authorities and told them of the plot, declaring they did not wish to see the country involved in an international conflict. Three strong military columns to day were attacking the strongholds of the rebellious Yaqui Indians in the state of Sonora. The war department recently was led to believe that the Yaquis were willing to surrender, and when ne gotiations were ; suspended because the Indians insisted on retaining their arms orders were given for a general offensive until they yielded or were exterminated. In the first two days of the fed eral offensive the military columns captured 'three Yaqui camps. Then a march was begun on La Gloria the strongest Yaqui redoubt in the heart of the mountains. The fed eral casualties have been heavy and numerous rebels have been killed and many captured including wom en and children. vA No. 1 Special Prices on Quality Canned Fruits Ccrfe'v Pe-ches, No. 1 J.

When the British burned the man sion in 1S14, President vand Mrs. Madison lived in Tayloe's octagon house, which still stands. For six months the Roosevelts lived at 22 Jackson place while the White house was being remodeled. The Patterson house is a four-story marble structure of pentagonal shape on the east side of Dupont circle. It has 30 rooms and 10 baths. The arch itect was Stanford White, and the house, which is a beautiful example of Italian influence, is regarded as one of the monuments of his genius. The repairs to the White house, which are to take four months, com prise the replacement of the roof and the fireproof ing of the upper stories. For this work congress appropriated 350 thousand dollars and 25 thousand dollars for rental of temporary quar ters for the executive household.

Curtis, of Englewood, N. J.. former screen comedian, asking for punitive damages of $500,000.

Thru the agency of the defend ants since 1929, he declares, he was arrested several times, thrown into jail and insane asylums and incarcer ated vithout proper cause. Three times while he was in Iowa. Curtis alleged, he was tired as a criminal and cleared of charges that had been preferred against him. Some of his troubles took place in Buena Vista and Des Moines, he said. Besides the' punitive damages, he asked for an award for damages ac tually suffered, which he did not ap praise at a set figure. Curtis allege? he also has cause for complaint against the American Telephone & Telegraph company and associated concerns. Officials of the Pathe Exchange said they had neverheard of Nich olas J. Curtis, until recently when they received a letter signed with that name. After reading the let ter, they said, they came to the con clusion that the writer should be placed under observation and they turned over his letter to the New ark, N. J., police.

Smith, senator designate from Illinois, that it post poned further consideration until to- A new bill has been drafted by Representative Johnson of Lancaster county permitting county officials to destroy county files that are useless and will be introduced in the legis lature Tuesday. Representative John son has included in this bill a list of records, after conferring with county officials of Lancaster county, such as may be destroyed. The rough draft of the bill as it was first discussed did not desig nate the files that might be destroy ed but it was deemed best to make the bill more definite in this line The new bill provides that such fil ings may be destroyed on presenting to a district judge a list from the county officers of records to meet this fate. It is provided that the list shall set forth either by title, proper in dexing or descriptions the records to be done away with.

Cass county is far better fixed to gravel her roads than Sarpy we've a richer, greater more resourceful county. It is embarrassing to look at the graveled roads in Sarp county and then turn over our map and view the long muddy rutty dirt dis tances from gravel to gravel. It is now reduced to actual figures, that Plattsmouth precinct of the Louisville road, and the Louisville road across Eight Mile Grove pre cinct, with a stretch of gravel run up to Cedar Creek, and from Mynard to the graveled hi-way east will cost less than the yearly ' loss in excess, gas, skids, broken cars, missed mar kets, days unable to work at home when could be on the farm Instead cf using the roads. It costs by actual figures at least twice as must to operate over dirt roads, as it would cost to have gravel ed roads, figured on a ten-year basis. And in this it must not be overlook ed that you would have to have two cars to your present one to endure dire roads against gravel. A. L.
