Kruger Paint and Wall Paper Store r R Business Men to Pay Visit to Local Shops Will Journey to Burlington Shops on Tuesday Morning to Look Over the Big Plant In response to the very hearty in vitation of the employes of the Burl ington railroad shops, the members of the retail section of the Chamber of Commerce, meeting yesterday at noon at the Hotel Perkins for their luncheon, voted to make Tuesday forenoon the occasion for a visit to the Burlington shops. The shops have recently had a very extensive program of improve ment in every way and the visit or the business men will give them a fuller appreciation of the attractive way in which the shop yards have been arranged as well as the general improvement of the buildings that house the various activities of the great railroad plant. The visit is one that will be much enjoyed by the merchants, many of whom are not familiar with the workings of the shop and the various lines of activities that enter into the making and repairing of the way cars, coaches and mail, and baggage cars which are handled at the local eh thp mill whprf wood work is prepred, blacksmithing and machine departments and the coach shop with the activities of the carpenters and then the paint department where the final touches are placed on the cars as well as the tin department that supplies the many details tnat go into the construction and repair of the cars. The trip will be of much value from an educational standpoint as well as showing the proper ap preciation and understanding of the railroad workers. It is the arrangement that the l business men assemble at the C. E. Hartford coal office at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning and then walk or drive to the shops for a visit. All business men. whether members of the retail section or not, are urged to join the party and enjoy the many points of interest in the shops as it will be a real treat.

En route from Elmwood to Man ley, the bankers spied a little spot ted dog doing his "derndest" to keep up with their car. When it appeared from his persistence that the little fellow was lost, they took him aboard and later took him back to Elmwood, where, from inquiries, they learned that he belonged to the I. J. Fuller family, to whom he was forthwith restored. All in favor of a medal for Mr. and Mrs Rau, say "Aye." The "ayes" have it unanimously. Louisville Courier.

NEHAWKA WATER BONDS DEFEATED The election held in Nehawka on Tuesday on whether or not the vil lage would vote bonds for the in stallation of a municipal water works system was defeated in one of the hardest contested campaigns ever seen since the village was incorpor ated. Both factions were working hard and consequently one of the largest votes in the town's history was polled. The final count showed that the majority of the voters were in favor of the waterworks but a three-fifths majority was needed to issue bond3, the proposition was defeated. There were seventy-nine votes for water works and 67 against the issue. There wrere several reasons why the issue was defeated. Some thought the estimate of the cost was too high; some were opposed to the raise of a tax levy which would be neces sary; others have their own systems and did not care for city water; some are not in favor of water without a sewage system and others voted against it because of other personal reasons. Then too, with the pres ent financial condition throughout the country, some were of the opinion this was not the right time to bond the village. Nehawka Enterprise. DEATH OF MRS.

(Continued From Page l) 1'iaiismouth was an outfitting point for the freighters and traders who travelled the plains between Plattsmouth and Denver. Dr. R. R. Livingston was a herald of mercy for miles around making long rides into the surrounding country on horseback. In 1861 when the war of the Rebellion opened the guns that fired on Ft. Sumpter echoed around the world and the doctor heard the call, former Company "A" First Ne braska Volunteers and went in de fense of the Union. It would have been easy for these men to excuse themselves from this service. They were far from the scenes of active fighting. The Doc tor himself might have said, the health and comfort of these people is of more importance than my serv ice in the defense of the Union. I am already contributing my part to this country but that wasn't the stuff these pioneers were made of. After the War he returned to Plattsmouth and his profession where he lived until his death in 1SSS. As a private citizen he did much for this community. He was Mayor of Plattsmouth 1S71-72 and, as the City Council also served as the School Board, he was President of that Body. He was Chief of the Fire De partment. In 1S71 he was instrumental in inducing the C. B. & Q. to run their lines through Plattsmouth and to establish shops here. . He was made Chief of the Medical Department in 1S71 of the C. B. & Q. which posi tion he held until his death. He w:is one of the framers of the State Medi cal Laws; President of the School of Medicine; Father of Game Laws of Nebraska, and served on the First State Board of Fish Commission. He was Surveyor General of Nebraska, Colorado and Dakota. His wife was a native of New Jer sey and followed him closelv in all his activities. Six children came to their home: Theodore Philip. Annie, now Mrs. Annia Britt of Minneapolis, Robert Ramsey, Guy (gave his life in the Phillipine Insurrection in Feb. ISO)) J. Stuart, Janet, now Mrs. Will Clement of Plattsmouth, Theo dore, Robert and Stuart, all follow ed the profession of their father. Theodore and Stuart serving unto Ms day as physicians and surgeons n this community. Robert practiced medicine in Plattsmouth for a period of three years and then was a physician ot the State Hospital at Hastings. Thus for seventy-one years has this com munity been benefitted by the lives of this family THEREFORE, with a profound sense of appreciation and gratitude o Almighty God for His manifold blessings to us and to our forefathers We the Woman'3 Relief Corps of McConihie Post G. A. R. acting under authority of the officials cf the city of Plattsmouth do hereby designate and dedicate that part of this High way beginning at the intersection of Third and Pearl Streets and ending on the traffic bridge across the Mis souri River as LIVINGSTON ROAD, which name it shall bear from hence forth to the beloved memory and i'i honor of ROBERT RAMSEY HIV- INGSTON. The response was given by Dr. P. Livingston, the eldest son of General Livingston and who gave a few remarks of personal apprecia tion of the honor for himself and j his brother. Dr. J. S. Livingston. who was unable to be in attendance, the remarks of Dr. Livingston cov ering many interesting facts as given below: Words fail to convey and to reveal the sense of humbleness and deep appreciation felt, upon this signal occasion, by the descendants of this pioneer citizen and physician of Plattsmouth whose memory has bepn so highly honored by bestowing his name upon this finely planned road way. And we cherish the thought fulness of the Women of the Relief Corps, McConihie Post No. 4 5, Grand Army of the Republic, the kindness of the citizens helping to bring to fruition the initiatory movement and the courtesy of those in authority who granted this privilege. Here lies this road winding thru these beautiful hills a part of one more bondage union between two great states and especially between our own county of Cass and our good neighbor, the county of Mills in Iowa, whence came the first settlers to found this town of Plattsmouth. These two counties furnished from their sterling patriotic manhood those who composed the first com pany of soldiers raised in Nebraska territory for the defense of the Union in the Civil war. It was on this very hillside that the loyal women of Plattsmouth presented to those men a fl-jg of the Union, of their own handicraft and history tells how val iantly that emblem of Justice and Liberty was defended. Of those women, so far as I know, but one is now living, Mrs. Elizabeth Streight, widow of Captain Henry J. Streight, another Cass county soldier who has long been at rest, the sis ter also of William L. Wells of this same Cass county group and color sergeant of Company A of the First Nebraska. This memorial is not for one alone but stands as a never to be forgot ten tribute to those whose character, christian manhood and womanhood, ability and indomitable courage helped found this commonwealth of Nebraska of which Cass county Is one of the oldest and most important integrants. Time and tide go passing by And leave remembrances upon lne s shore; So to the memories of these, women and men of times called pion eer Full gratefulness in soul and mind To forebears from whatever clime No bar to color, race or creed. Thy valor shines its word and deed And thus the world goes on. From Dr. J. S. Livingston: Service in all thing has left u memory that now garners its re ward. Time has left its imprint and contemporaries have gathered in Heaven's Home There still remains the chosen few to emblazon upon love's tablets cher ished thoughts for those to read, who will come in the years that lie ahead. A lasting structure Let us ne'er forget That over all a just God rules, And His blessing grants to all who ask it in His name. Hew to the line. Do not despair If clouds are darkening Just gird thyself. Remember those who first did come And by their labors save to th e and thine, As result of their never ending quest This glorious empire This wonderful midwest. The marker was decorated by a suitable wreath placed there by Henry Guy McMaken. With the singing of "America" and the benediction by Rev. H. E. Sortor the dedicatory ceremonies were closed.
