Bttt ir e Family Father, Mother and Children i y Fifty Huge Distillery Uncovered Near Louisville Federal Officers Led by General Eowan Said Place Local Of ficers Working on Case Fron Wednesday's Daily ' Another large distillery Which has been used in supplying Omaha illicit bcoze dealers with their sup ply, was revealed yesterday in the vicinity of Louisville when1 federal officers headed by General William Rowan, prohibition director for Ne braska and Deputy State Sheriff Han son, attached . to the Omaha area, raided the place. The distillery was located eight and a half miles southwest of Louis ville and was in a wild and uncul tivatedsection of land where th plant was supplied by spring water from a email creek that ran near the old cattle barn where the plant was located. ; The. locality of the still has been watched by Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff Young and who had traced the parties that had been suspected of being parties that carried the stock to Omaha where it was dispos ed of two men and one woman were under suspicion in connection with the case, altho at the time the raid was made, no one was found at the place. "Local officers had hoped to be able to apprehend the parties operating the still but were disap pointed in the fact that no one was present when the raid took pla.ee. It is thought that the operators of the stills had lookouts that gave them the tip and allowed the per sons to make their escape. Two stills, one of two hundred gallon and one of three hundred gal lon, were discovered concealed in the old abandoned cattle shed on the unused farm. Besides the stills, the officers found 105 gallons of whiskey, 10.900 gal lons of mash, 600 pounds of sugar and two coke furnaces.

Would Mark City for Airmen on Their Flights Roof of One of the Larger Buildings May Be Selected If Plan De velops as Hoped For . - - It has been urged for. some time that this city have some distinguish ing mark that can be, seen by ai mail pilots and other navigators of the air, passing through this locality and the general plan that has been suggested is that of having the name of the city painted on the roof of one of the buildings in the business sec tion. . This sign will require the outlay of some $110 as the price that has been made to James W. Holmes, who as postmaster, has been much inter ested in the proposition owing to the wishes of the postal department for markings for towns. The city gov ernment does not feel justified in making Jhis expenditure and the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a pain that may solve the matter of cost and allow the name of "Platts mouth" to be emblazoned on the roof of one of the ltocal buildings so that he who flies may see. It has been suggested by the Chamber of Com merce officers that different societies over the city pay the cost of a single letter which would be $10 and in this way the cost could be made very reasonable for all and still give the desired result of giving the city recognition in the way of air mark ings. A number of places have been sug gested as proper for. the placing of the sign, but chief among these has been that of the Masonic temple, the Legion community building and the Bekins building and any of these would make a good spot with the Masonic temple probably the best suited for the purpose. While the idea of the subscription plan is a new one, the Plattsmouth Women's club has already signified their desire to help in the cause and now if there are ten other organiza tions similarlyminded the sign is a sure go. .V . - LEWIST0N AID SOCIETY The Lewiston Aid society held their regular birthday meeting Aug-' ust 11th -at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
