PLEADS FOB THE BIRDS From Monday's Dally In St. Pauls church yesterday Rev. Wichmann appealed to the congre gation and to the order of the Sons of Herman for protection of the birds. During the last week two robins and one catbird had been killed on the lawns of the neighborhood by the slingshots of the boys. Our city is a city of birds and flowers and the birds 6hould absolutely be protected. Appeals to the press and to the police should be made to give this matter the widest publication. Plattsmouth cannot have its birds killed. Among the birds "the turtle-doves seem to be the aim of the boys especially. All these birds have nestlings now and It is cruel to kill the old birds leaving the nestlings to starve. AT MASONIC HOME Sunday visitors at the Masonic Home to call upon W. A. Howard and A. A.

Dovey, Lifetime Resident Here Passed Away Sunday at the Home of His Daughter, Mrs. William Goehner at Seward The death of one of the long time and prominent residents of this city occurred early Sunday morning when Horatio N. Dovey passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Cothner at that place, following an illness of several months from th? effects of cancer of the throat. The news of the death came as a very sad blow to the manj- friends in this community who have known Mr. Dovey all of the long years of his lifetime in this city where his par ents were among the early settlers and pioneer merchants. Mr. Dovey had been at the hospital at Omaha about a month ago and accompanied liis daughter to her home at Seward for a short visit but he suffered a sudden very serious phase of his illness and his condition became such that he was unable to return home to this city and has been gradually failing until death came to his re lief. Horatio Nelson Dovey was born at Plattsmouth, June 6. 1863. his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward G: Dovey, having arrived here from the south a short time before and locat ed in this city where Mr. Dovey en gaged in the mercantile business for many years and which business was continued after the death of the father in 1SS1, as the firm of E. G. Dovey & Son. H. N. Dovey received his education in the schools of this city and on reaching manhood he was engaged in clerical work in the busi ness house of his family until later when he entered the First National bank of this city and successively served in the position of bookkeeper, cashier and president of the institu tion. In his long lifetime here Mr. Dovey won the respect and esteem cf the residents of the community who will share with the family the sorrow that his death has brought. Mr. Dovey married April 26. 18 S5, Miss Eva Knapp, who with four children, Mrs. lone Dovey Betts of Omaha; Mrs. Helen Goehner of Seward, Dr. E. G. Dvey of Washing ton, D. C. ard George O. Dovey of this city survive his passing. Two children have preceded Mr. Dovey in death. Two brothers, George F. Dovey and Oliver C. Dovey. of this city, also survive his passing. Politically Mr. Dovey was very active in the affairs of the republi can partj'. being at one tine a can didate for mayor of the city altho defeated, also serving some nine years on the board of education in this city. In 1896 Mr. Dovey was selected as a delegate to the repub lican national convention that nom inated William McKinley and was a member of the committee that noti fied Garret A. Hobart of his nomin ation for vice-president. The passing of this old time resi dent removes another of the figures of the leaders of the community in the past years and whose going is a dis tinct loss to the city and its people.
