years engaged here in the conduct of
the Hotel Riley barber shop, passed

some six months ago and which has
steadily grown worse and despite all
that could be done to relieve him
he has gradually faded away until
death came to ease his sufferings.
.Mr. Fullerton was sent by the U. S.
veterans bureau to the Fitzsimmons
hospital at Denver in the hope of se
curing him Borne relief, but his case
was so advanced and of a severe
type that nothing was to be done
and several weeks ago at the solicita
tion of the family, he was allowed
to return home and was taken to
the home of Mrs. Fullerton's parents.
Edward Fullerton was thirty-three
years of age and was born in Buffalo.
Missouri, where he spent his younger
years and where in 1918 he entered
the service of the nation as a member
of the army, spending some time in
the service and at the close of the
war was discharged. Mr. Fullerton
came to this city shortly after the
war and was engaged in barberlng
here until his health no longer per
mitted .his activity.
He was married in this city to
Miss Hazel Battman, who with one
child, Edward, Jr., survive his pass
ing. He is also mourned by the par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Fullerton
of Buffalo, Missouri, three brothers!
and six sisters, Ernest of Omaha

FTAtt LOUISVILLE CASE
This morning the time of Judge
A. H. Duxbury was taken up with
the hearing of the case of the State
of Nebraska vs. William Rourke and
Ray "Wilson, charged with having
stolen a quantity of copper wire from
the plant of the Ash Grove Cement
Co., at Louisville.
The testimony of the watchman
who had detected the two men on
the property of the company was
taken and his relating of the finding
of the wire on the person of Rourke,
hidden beneath the overcoat of the
man, was taken as was also the iden
tification of the property and the
story of the discovery of the two men
at the cement company's plant and
ouarrv. made by F. H. Breemer, as
sistant superintendent and A. H.
Frolich, the superintendent of the
plant. Davis Ziers. chief electrician
of the plant was also a witness as to
the nature of the stolen property
and its use.
The defendant Rourke testified
that he had come to Louisville on
a freight from Plattsmouth and had
met Wilson, who was a stranger to
him, at that place and the two had
then walked east to the quarries and
following the course of the electric
highline, had picked up the wire
found on them and which was identi
fied by the company officers as wire
used in making blasts in the quarry.
He denied trying to conceal the wire
and stated that he had told the
watchman he had "wire that he had
picked up along the roadway.
Wilson had been along with
Rourke but apparently had no part
in the picking up of the wire and
was not in possession of it when
found by the watchman.
After the evidence was submitted
the court gave Rourke a sentnce of
twenty days in Jail as provided by
the statutes in such cases while Wil
son was released from custody.

HAVE YOU BEEN LISTED?
The taking of the census of the
United States is now on and it is
important to every community that
all of the inhabitants be listed, both
for the value that the information
may be to the government in the
survey of the unemployment situa
tion and other facts that will be used
as the basis for estimates on the
country's growth and progress in the
decade since the last census was
taken, as well as determining the
population of the various civic units
of the nation.
There is always the possibility
that Bomeone may be overlooked In
the census taking, those who are
engaged in the task of listing the
citizens as well as the civic bodies
of the community are urging that
all persons see that they are listed
in the 1930 returns. The census
opened on April 2nd and the census
enumerators are busy getting the
names and other facts necessary for
the proper return to the government
on the blanks that are presented to
each citizen.
If you have ' not been listed and
the census in your locality has been
taken, it is urged that you get in
touch with the local Chamber of
Commerce and see that you are list
ed. It may be added that all informa
tion that is secured in the census is
of a confidential nature and the re
turns are sent to Washington where
the facts are lumped in state and
national figures and facts and the
Identification of the Individual Ib
not made a part of the general
returns.

Natural Gas
to Enter Local
Fields Soon
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co.,
Fart of the Organization to
Take Gas Supply
From Friday's I? ally
An announcement of far reaching
importance concerning the fuel sit
uation in Nebraska, Kansas, and
western and central Iowa, was made
today. Mr. O. R.. Seagraves of the
Moody - Seagraves Company, an
nounces that the Missouri Valley Gas
Company, which is now constructing
a 24" pipe line from Stevens County,
Kansas, towards Lincoln and Oma
ha, Nebraska, has reached an agree
ment with the group controlling
artificial and natural gas plants in
central Kansas, eastern Nebraska,
and western and central Iowa. It is
the intention of this group, which
comprises the United Light & Power
Company, North American Light &
Power Company, and Lone Star Gas
Corporation, to expand their market
ing facilities throughout this terri
tory. The United Light & Power Com
pany now owns manufactured gas
plants in Plattsmouth, Lincoln and
Beatrice, Nebraska, Red Oak, Shen
andoah, Ft. Dodge, Mason City and
Clear Lake, Iowa, and other cities
in Nebraska and central and west
ern Iowa. The North American
Light & Power Company owns manu
factured gas plants In Des Moines,
Iowa, and territory adjacent thereto.
The North American Light & Power
Company through its subsidiary, the
Nebraska Natural Gas Company, has
franchises in a number of commun
ities In eastern Nebraska. It also
owns a very extensive natural gas
system in Kansas, tapping important
fields in that state together with im
portant connections. The Lone Star
Gas Corporation owns and operates
the largest natural gas system in
the southwest having approximately
280,000 consumers in Texas and
Oklahoma, Including the cities of
Dallas, Ft. Worth and Wichita Falls,
Texas. The Lone Star Gas Corpora
tion also owns manufactured gas
plants in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The
combined group owns very extensive
holdings of natural gas acreage in
the Pan Handle field of northern
Texas and through the arrangement
with Moody-Seagraves Company will
controT the gas reserve of Stevens
County field. In the opinion of those
connected with the enterprise this
will insure, a supply of natural gas
for the present and future market
for many years.
It is proposed to Immediately ex
tend pipe lines of large capacity into
the Pan Handle Texas fields to aug
ment the gas reserves mentioned
above.
The bringing of natural gas into
Nebraska and central and western
Iowa is the culmination of plans ag
gressively carried out by Mr. O. R.
Seagraves of the Moody-Seagraves
Company.
Upon completion of this project the
new organization will have a tie-In
with some of the largest natural
gas reserves In this country and will
rank as one of the major natural gas
systems of the United States.
Mr. F. H. Brooks, President of the
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Com
pany at Lincoln, a subsidiary of The
United Light & Power Company,
commenting upon the announcement
said:
"I consider this announcement of
plans of tremendous and vital import
ance to the middle-west. The advant
ages of natural gas from a twenty
four inch pipe line (as large as any
gas line now In existence) tapping
Kansas and Texas fields are obvious.
It ought to mean a great deal for
Lincoln and the other communities
which will enjoy the service. This
service will stimulate, encourage and
promote the industrial life of this
section. It will naturally and nec
essarily remove the smoke nuisance
and eventuate in clean cities and
communities. This great natural re
sources will now be available In de
pendable and sufficient quantities for
all sorts of cooking, residential and
house heating purposes. A new,
clean, economical and dependable
fuel is now assured to Lincoln and
the middle-west.
"Natural gas now coming to us
will have double the heating value
of artificial or manufactured gas.
It will furnish the most Ideal of all
heating fuels. Lincoln will be the
first large city In Nebraska to en
joy and utilize this service. All I
can say is that the advent of this
service to Lincoln and the eastern
Bection of our state and other parts
of the middle-west offers unlimited
potentialities. I consider the advent
of natural gas into this city and
territory second only in importance
to the development and perfection
of our electric light and power plants
and systems. The future ought to
stretch out ahead lna most promis
ing fashion for a state having avail
able natural gas under the operating
and distributing management of such
well known and reputable companies.
It is indeed gratifying that our jcom
pany is of the progressive and con
structive type, aiding in a substan
tial way In making all this possible."

Paving Work
is to Start Here
Monday Morn'g
Roberts Construction Co., to Start
Work at End of Webster Boule
vard and Work North
From Friday Daily--"
The first Btart of the paving pro
gram on highway No. 75 leading out
of this city will be started on Mon
day when the Roberts Construction
Co., opens up on that i section' of
road leading from the end of the pav
ing on Webster boulevard to the
new fill and road on the Platte bot
tom at the south part of the Stull
farm.
The state representative, Mr.
Dewey was in the city today to ar
range the placing of the detour signs
at the Masonic Home and also on
the north and west roads that will
be used in the carrying of traffic
until the paving on 75 is completed
north of this city.
The Roberts company have com
pleted their work on the north end
of the highway near Omaha, winding
up their work on Monday, a few
hours ahead of tbe rain and with
good weather here, they hope to step
right along with the work and have
it completed in a very short time as
far as their contract is concerned.
The concrete paving will extend
from the north side of the new fill
and road on the Stull farm, placed
there to avoid the former sharp turn,
extending south to the Webster
boulevard paving. When the Roberts
company finish their work on the
road the Allied Contractors of Oma
ha will take up the work of com
pleting that section of the highway
from the new stretch of road north
to a short distance over the Burl
ington railroad crossing, this part
of the road construction being made
with the rock asphalt, the same
material that was used in the road
bed of the Platte river bridge, the
asphalt being used owing to the low
and moist soil of the Platte bottom
which it believed will best be served
by a road of this type.
North of the Burlington tracks
there will be no paving placed at
this time pending final decision or
action on trying to straighten out
the road from the bridge south and
which will eliminate the present
curve.

Delegation from
Union at Today's
C. of C. Luncheon
Senator Banning, Rev. Taylor, Philip
Rihn and G. A. Stites Here to
Discuss 0 Street Paving
From Thursday's Dally
A delegation of representatives of
the Union Commercial club, headed
by President Philip F. Rihn, an old
Plattsmouth boy, was present at to
day's noonday luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce. Their mis
sion was to discuss prospects for
the securing of paving on the O
street highway extending east from
Lincoln to connect with U. S. 75 at
the corner half a mile east of Union.
This would afford a direct route due
ast and west, extending on through
the capital city to the corner some
fourteen miles west of there, where
the D. L. D. and short cut to the S.
Y. A., a continuous stretch of some
65 miles in length.
The early part of the after-dinner
session was taken up with hearing
committee reports.
County Judge Duxbury's committee
reported on progress being made with
the Clean Up and Paint Up cam
paign, the official dates of which are
April 21st to 26th, inclusive.
Judge Duxbury urged that the
business men themselves get more
enthused and set a shining example
for residence property owners to
emulate, by having their own busi
ness fronts touched up with a glis
ening coat of paint. He cited nu
merous instances in the residence
section where work of this kind is
already being done.
Judge Duxbury also told of co
operation being secured from the
city council, which had agreed to
the furnishing of two teams to cover
the entire city, picking up material
at the curbline, but said previous
assistance along this line had prov
en unsatisfactory, inasmuch as some
had expected the city employes to
even go so far as to rake and clean
up their grounds and haul off the
trash.
This year nothing will be hauled
off by city teams, except such trash
as is piled in boxes or barrels and
can be readily loaded, so those who
are anticipating free drayage of their
winter's debris should observe the
rule, otherwise they may have to
hire someone to do their hauling.
A report was received to the ef
fect that the south paving will be
resumed by May 1st and completed
by June 15th. It was also stated
that the north end crew, having com
pleted their work around Fort Crook
are now miving their machinery to
the end of Washington avenue and
expect to begin laying concrete here
the fore part of next week.
Chairman Schneider of the Good
Roads committee reported on the trip
his committee had made to Green
wood last Friday night in the Inter
est of getting gravel on the west end
of the Plattsmouth-Louisville-Green-wood
road, and said he felt certain
that at least a portion of that route
would be hard surfaced this year.
Mr. Schneider next introduced the
guests from Union, who were here
on a good roads proposition and
had had dealings with his committee
during the past month.
Senator Eannmg, acting as spokes
man for the visitors, told of efforts
being made to get paving diverted
from O street, east of Eagle, to fol
low the route extending thru Syra
cuse and Dunbar, into Nebraska
City, which he said would not only
be every bit as long as coming over
O street to the corner east of Union
and thence into Neb. City over U. S.
75, but would result in the duplica-'
tion of some twelve miles of north
and south pavement, at a cost of
$300,000 more than to pave the O
street route. He pointed out that
this is clearly the logical route to
serve the most people and felt sure
no administrative officer of the state
would attempt to follow any other
line. However, he said, inasmuch as
attempts have been made to have It
diverted, he felt that Cass county
people should assert themselves, and
suggested the co-operation of all the
towns of the county to this end.
A meeting held at Weeping Water
a few nights ago had resulted in
100 endorsement of the O street
route.
Mr. Rihn. Rev. Taylor and Mr.
Stites were all heard in brief re
marks touching upon the fine hos
pitality of such get-together meetings
and referring briefly to the O street
paving. At the conclusion of their
remarks. Chairman Schneider in
formed them his committee would
be pleased to co-operate with them
in every way possible.
Mayor Sattler introduced a reso
lution that the Chamber of Com
merce go on record as favoring the
paving of O street as the first east
and west route and directing the
Good Roads committee to work with
similar committees from other towns
with that end in view.
. Mrs. Adam Kreager and daughter
of Cedar Creek were here Friday
for a few hours visit with friends
and looking after some' matters tf
business.- While here Mrs. Kreager
renewed her subscription to the Jaur-nal.

State Plans
600-Foot Bridge
Over Pappio
State Highway Department Is Work
ing on New Plan to Secure
Overhead Crossing
In order to eliminate one of the
troublesome as well as costly niain-
tainance spots on highway No. 75,
j the state highway department is now
, working on a plan that it is hopd
will provide a solution and permit
: the completion of paving work in
i the vicinity of the Pappio at Fort
' t i
V.IUUB.
The plans brought forward by the
state two years ago to provide for
the overhead crossing that would
make the route much safer for tra
velers as well as saving the state the
expense of much repair work in the
spring and summer due to the over
flow of the Pappio creek, was not
looked upon with favor by the Mis
souri Pacific railroad and since that
time this part of the work has been
held up and the state unable to have
the highway leading to the crossing
paved.
Claiming the highway bridge
would cause trouble if placed near
its own crossing over the creek, the
railroad later submitted a substitute
location several hundred feet up
stream. The highway department
did not like that, because it would
cause a big curvature in the road
north of the creek.
Now the state brings forward a
plan of its own, which would have
tbe bridge absorb the curvature. The
spon will have to be more than COO
feet long, probably, because besides
the creek and the Missouri Pacific
tracks, there are the Burlington
tracks to cross, as well.
