SULLIVAN From Wednesday's Daily The funeral services of the late Mrs. T. A. Sullivan were held Tues day afternoon from the home on Pearl street and very largely at tended by the old friends who came to pay their last tributes of love and memory to this splendid lady and long time resident of the community. The services were in charge of Hev. H. E. Sortor. pastor of the First Methodist church who took as the text of the sermon the 14th chapter of St. John and with these comfort ing wot Is the pastor paid a tribute to the long and useful life of the deceased. During the services Mrs. E. H. Wescott gave as a solo. "Crossing the Bar" and Frank A. Cloidt "Face to Face" while Mrs. Wescott and Mr. Cloidt gave as a duet "Jesus Lover of My Soul."

Griffin of the Ritz theatre of this city, proir to locat ing here was a resident of Pender and the county clerk of Thurston county and thereby hangs this tale. Mr. Griffin was selected at Omaha yesterday as a member of the petit jury panel that will try the famous "big still case" involving the mam mouth still that was discovered by Omaha police in one of the buildings on east Howard street. The person that supplied the names to the U. S. clerk at Omaha was evidently aRleep at the switch as Mr. Griffin has not been a resident of Pender for the past year and he can con tinue to carry on the task of giv ing the residents here the best of pictures and not have to worry over who owned the still. VISITED IN CITY TODAY From Wednesday's Daily Mr. and Mrs. If. H. Howerter, former residents of Plattsmouth for a number of years, while Mr. How erter was employed as operator at the Oreapolis tower station, stopped here for a short time today while enroute to Lincoln and other Ne braska points to visit relatives. The family went from here to Gretna, where Mr. Howerter was agent for the Burlington for several months, after which they moved to Illinois, where Mr. Howerter is now engaged in the real estate business. On their return, they expect to stop off for a longer visit with the Plattsmouth friends. Young People on Honeymoon at Old Home Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Tefft of Pas saic, New Jersey, Visit at Home at Weeping Water The home of Attorney and Mrs. C. E. Tefft at Weeping Water has been the scene of a very happy gathering of the family the past week when their son, Ralph Tefft of Pas saic, New Jersey, arrived with his bride on their honeymoon and were at the home of the parents for sev eral days and during which time the many friends of the groom in his old home community had the opportun ity had the opportunity of meeting the charming lady who is to share the joys and sorrows of life with him in the future years The marriage of Miss Kathryn Breese to Mr. Ralph Tefft occurred on June 29th at the home of the bride's parents at Astoria, New York, and the young people have since been enjoying their honeymoon on a trip west and to visit at the home of the groom's parents.

The many friends jof the Tefft fam ily over Cass county will join in their well wishes to the happy young couple for their future welfare. DID GOOD BUSINESS ON THE CLOSING NIGHT The Bernardi Exposition shows, a carnival attraction that appeared in Plattsmouth last week under aus pices of the American Legion, wound up its week's engagement on Satur day night, when it enjoyed by far the largest patronage of the entire week's engagement. The shows, rides and concession stands all did a very good business from early evening until near the midnight hour. The work of tear ing down and loading out was then begun, workmen laboring thru the night getting the paraphernalia all loaded onto the wagons, ready to be loaded on the flat cars at the depot. The train pulled out about 1:30 Sunday morning for Red Oak, where the shows will exhibit this week. The good business of Saturday night, when there were many farm ers in town, as well as people from nearby points, saved the shows from having to make up a deficit in their guarantee to the Legion. The total receipts (exclusive of concessions) for the week only run around $1,900, and of that the Legion received over $300, with the railroad getting close to double that amount for pulling the train. Of the remaining ap proximately one thousand dollars, the entire personnel of the carnival had to provide Its living, including meals, room, laundry and the ordi nary daily expenditures of men and women so employed. So, it is not ikely any appreciable amount of the receipts at any rate not more than the sum expended by outsiders here for the closing night went out of town, as is generally charged by those opposed to carnivals. Of course, the present year has been a hard one on carnivals, pre senting them from making the mon ey to take out of town they might make in a highly prosperous season. At any rate, the carnival game is a hard one and offers no great money making inducements either to the owner or promoting organizations. Or?

Pa vis Farm Loans and Lands School Build ings Receiving Needed Repairs Will Be Placed in First Class Shape During Summer Vacation and Beady for School While the pupils and teachers of the city schools are enjoying their summer vacation the board of educa tion are having the various build ings that house the school system of the city placed in the very best of shape for the coming school year, that will open in September. The Central building is having the most extensive changes and repairs made for the season, with windows being placed in several of the rooms that will permit more light to be supplied to the rooms on the north side of the building where the light has not been the best.. At the Columbian school building the board is planning to have a con crete floor placed in the basement of the building and other small repairs that may be necessary made in the building. In practically all of the buildings with the exception of the high school there will be work done on the win dows and other minor jobs to place the buildings in the best of shape for the coming winter. Another of the vacation improve ments will be the varnishing of the desks where the youngsters have labored in the school term, placed in shape and, re-varnished for the coming term of school and black boards in the various rooms will all be recoated and made ready for the time when the youth will take up the struggle for knowledge. MAKE PROMPT SETTLEMENT Will Push Work on Completion of New Bridge Officers of Plattsmouth Bridge Com pany Here to Urge Resump tion of the Pier Work From Wednesday's Daily This morning R. A. Leussler. vice president and Carl Vogel. director and engineer of the Plattsmouth Bridge Co., motored down from Oma ha to look over the bridge work as soon .as possible. The work of closing up the last of the pier work of the new $700,0 00 bridge was checked by the high water in the river starting three weeks ago and which has kept back the force of the Union Bridge & Con struction Co. from going ahead with the work. Within the past week the river has began the descent to nor mal again and it is the desire of the officers of the bridge company that the active work of completing the piers be started as soon as possible and get the structure ready for the steel work that will be placed by the Omaha Steel Company, the con tractors for this class of the work. The delay caused by the high water was a very great disappoint ment to the contractors who had been within a very few days of getting tneir work of sinking the piers com pleted and which high water made necessary the re-building of consid erable false work to get out to the last pier which is located in the channel of the river and which dur ing the high water was in the midst of a mighty rush of flood water. As soon as the piers are completed it will be possible to get along much more rapidly with the steel as the bridge being of a cantilever type will be able to be pushed along very rapidly as soon as this part of the work is started. 1 N MAY STAGE WATER FIGHT WILL VISIT HERE FOR SALE One two-row eight-shovel culti vator, McCormick-Deering.

Tell the world about it through the Jour nal's Want Ad department. Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Lepert of south of this city are feeling well pleased over the fact that their re cent fire loss, insurance against which was held in the Farmers State Insur ance Co., has been settled . very promptly in less than a week of the fire. M. G. Stava is the local agent of this company. From Wednesday's Daily Considerable discussion has arisen in the ranks of the Plattsmouth fire department over the rival claims of Chief O. Sandin and Claude Smith, Uie secretary, as to the value of the different members of the department and the resistence to watei and its force and so hot' has grown the argument that a challenge has been hurled by the secretary of the de partment to the chief that he is willing to take a group of the fire men, train them a short time and have them wash the chief and his force off their feet in a water fight. Last evening to show the secre tary who was boss, the chief had the department out for a trial run and the secretary was not among those present and it is thought this was a plan of the chief to get his men hardened up to the strenuous Job that is before them. Despite the preliminary training that the chief is making Mr. Smith states he can produce a winning water fightfng team and will do so if the opportunity affords. The sec retary states that as long as the members do not swallow any v.-rter they are all right and can out fight any similar group from any part of the United States or Missouri. With this feeling prevailing it is thought that the department will be called upon to select teams and stage one of these enjoyable mid-summer events in the near future and the date should ge watched with inter est. In his challenge Claude states that this will be no T. J. Sokol affair and the chief can take fair warning.

Hart. ltw There are those who make the most of their opportunity to enjoy the beauties of nature in the glorious summer days in the planting and tending of the flowers with which nature so lavishly paints the land scape of great state in this season of the yearj An example of this is to be found right in the main section of the business part of the city where Mrs. F. G. Coryell and Fred as well, has planted, tended and developed a real flower garden on the east side of the building in which their store is located at Fourth and Main street. Here many varieties of flowers have been planted, the stately hollyhock forming the background against the brick wall and then comes the smaller plants in all colors and hade3 to lend their part to the scene of charm. It was not long since this particular parking was devoted to weeds that grew in jungle like aban don along the walk and made a job for the city each year to get in and cut them, some of the weeds grow ing to tree like proportion. Since the Coryell family came to this lo cation the city has lost one weed cutting job and the community gained a beauty spot.
