Herbert Engel
kemeier Dies at
Omaha Hospital
Well Known Resident of West of
Murray Dies of Cerebal Spi
nal Meningitis
From Thursday' Dally
After some ten days illness from
an attack of cerebal spinal menin-4
gitis, Herbert Engelkemeier, well
known young man, residing west of
Murray, succummed and passed away
at the St. Joseph's hospital at Oma
ha. Wednesday at 11:15 a. m.
The attack had been very serious
from the start and gave but little
hope of the recovery of the patient
and he gradually grew worse until
death came to his relief and eased
his suffering. The young man at
the time of his death was aged
twenty-six years, seven months and
seventeen days.
Herbert Engelkemeier was a son
of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Engelkemeier
and was born on the farm north of
Nehawka and west of Murray, on
November 15, 1903, being reared to
manhood there and educated in the
schools of the community. Since
completing school work he has been
engaged on the farm and where he
found his greatest pleasure in the
tilling of the soil. The deceased
young man was unmarried and leaves
to mourn his passing the parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Engelkemeier,
two brothers, Fred of Nehawka and
Walter at home, four sisters, Mrs.
Phillip Heil of Cedar Creek. Mrs.
Edward Meisinger of Mynard, Mrs.
Otto Lutz of Plattsmouth and Miss
Laura Engelkemeier, at home.
In the passing of this fine young
man the family will have the deep
est sympathy of the many friends
over Cass county and who will share
with those nearest and dearest to
him of the separation.
MANY ENJOY CONCERT
One of the largest audiences that
have been present this season was
in attendance at the concert given
by the Elks band at the court house j
lawn, enjoying the lne program very
much despite the noise and confus
ion which was much in evidence.
The program in honor of the
Fourth of July, partook of a martial
atmosphere, with songs of the days
of 1S61-65 and that of 1917-18 be
ing featured in the well known mel
ody of Laurendeau, "War Songs of
the Boys in Blue." introducing "The
Battle Cry of Freedom," "Just Be
fore the Battle Mother," "Tramp,
Tramp. Tramp." "The Vacant Chair,"
"America" and "Yankee Doodle."
The world war song melodies com
prised those that were sang and
whistled in the camps and battlefields
of the United States and France and
embraced the well arranged group
by Lake, "Over There," "My Bel
gian Rose," "It's a Long Way to
Berlin But We'll Get There," "The
Rose of No Man's Land,' "K-K-K-Katv,"
Keep Your Head Down Frit
ize Boy." "Where Do We Go From
Here, Boys." "Homeward Bound."
In one of the features of the con
cert Miss Margaret Shellenbarger,
one of the most popular young vocal
ists of the city, was heard in the
very delightful song hit, "Should
I," the band playing the accompani
ment and the vocal refrain was given
most charmingly and thoroughly en
joyed. VISITS MASONIC HOME

Tom S. Svoboda
Files for Office
of Co. Sheriff
Well Known Constable Will Seek the
Nomination for the Office on
Democratic Ticket
From Thursdays Dany
The entries for the race for coun
ty sheriff at the August primaries
were raised this morning to three
for each party, the latest entry be
ing Tom S. Svoboda, constable for
the county court and well known
over the entire county. Mr. Svoboda
will submit his name to the consid
eration of the democratic voters at
the coming primary.
The new candidate has long been
an active figure in the court house
altho this is his first venture into
the field as a candidate for office
himself, and he feels that his long
experience in his office and assist
ance in the work of the office of the
county sheriff should make him a
well qualified candidate for the posi
tion. Mr. Svoboda has been constable
for the past eleven years, serving
under Judge Beeson and Judge Dux
bury and is also constable for Judge
Graves in the Justice court. He has
assisted in these years the various
sheriffs of the county -and gained, a
lear insight into the workings of
the office and the task of law en
forcement.
The new candidate has spent his
lifetime here in this city and where
he has a very large acquaintance as
he has over the entire county. He
is a married man with the wife and
son, residing in the family home at
Thirteenth and Vine street in this
city.
Mr. Svoboda has been urged by
his friends over the county to get
into the race and has yielded to the
numerous requests and will try the
strange experience of being an active
candidate himself instead of a boos
ter for some else.

Fourth of July
as Observed Here
50 Years Ago
Celebration Wp.s Real Event in the
Days of Late Seventies and
Early Eighties.
From Thursday's Daily
Just fifty years ago today, on Sat
urday afternoon, July the third. 1S80,
the city of Plattsmouth was enjoying
one of the biggest fourth of July
celebrations in its history. Due to
the fact that the Fourth came on
Sunday the city's official celebration
was held on the day preceding the
Fourth.
It was a hot day, one of those good
old fashioned July days when the
mercury soared like an over-inflated
balloon, the streets were crowded by
nine o'clock even tho the line of
march for the big parade was not to
form until ten. By nine-thiry every
good hitching post on Main street
was taken and the sidewalks were so
crowded with men, women and chil
dren that it took one well versed in
the art of sidestepping to success
fully negotiate the short distance
from the corner of Sixth and Main
to the court house.
At ten o'clock the line of march
began to take form, those who were
in charge of the day's activities were
busy trying to get the parade organ
ized for its triumphal march through
the streets of the city to the place
where the big picnic was to be held.
After much energy had been expend
ed in getting the line of march form
ed, the Plattsmouth Silver Helican
Band blazed forth into the strains
of a stirring old march, and the
parade started down Main street in
a blaze of glory.
The parade was headed by the Gen
eral Officers of the day and their
assistants, next came the Piattsmouth
Silver Helican Band led by John
Fowler, after the band came the Sun
day school children, followed by mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Re
public, who immediately preceded
the honored guests and orators of
the day. These were followed by the
Mayor and. city officials, as well as
county officials. Following them
came the Mardi Gras Carnival boys,
comprised of a group of men who had
donned the dress of "bums, clowns
and hicks," and were all riding on
mules. Then came the citizens of the
town and county that had not been
numbered in one of the previous
groups. Those who were walking fol
lowed the Mardi Gras boys, and those
who chose to ride in carriages, lum
ber wagons, spring wagons, etc.,
comprised the last contingent of the
parade.
This austere and distinguished
line of march made its way down
Main street from Sixth and Main to
Third street, where it turned north
to Vine and back west to Sixth where
it again turned north and made its
way to the picnic grounds which were
situated in the large hollow Just
north of the Herold apartments on
Locust street between Fifth and
Sixth.
As soon as the parade reached the
grounds and the people had arranged
themselves around tne large piaiiorm
that had been constructed there for
this particular event, the program
began, patriotic musical selections
by the band and the Plattsmouth Glee
Club was followed by an oration by
the Hon. H. D. Estabrook. Immed
lately following the oration a thirty
minute recess was taken to give the
people an opportunity to partake of
their lunch
As soon as the recess was over the
crowd a train eathered around tne
speaker's platform and heard several
toasts and responses by some of tne
leading men of the city, the toast
list being made up of the following
men: Judge A. N. Sullivan, Rev
J. A. Gallagher, Hon. S. M. Chapman,
Hon. M. A. Hartigan, Hon. K. B.
Windham. Gen. George S. Smith,
Prof. J. W. Love, Rev. Father Lyncn
and Gen. R. R. Livingston.
Following the completion of this
part of the program the band was
again heard in a few numbers, as
well as the Liederkranz, German
vocal organization, directed by Henry
Schulhof. which sang a few numbers
After these musical numbers tne
crowd was turned loose to do what
ever they wanted to do. The women
were to be found grouped together
where they were discussing some of
numerous and varied topics which
were before the people of the state
and county at that time, the young
men and boys spent the afternoon in
playing games and taking part in
competitive contests, the older men
sat around and smoked, and talked
about the price of wheat and the bad
condition which followed the civil
war and wondered what the world
was coming to
The celebration lasted late into
the afternoon, about six or between
that time and seven the party be
gan to break up. The farmer had to
get home and do the chores and see
that everything was all right on the
farm before night set in. It took
quite a while to drive five miles in
an old spring wagon. However there
were those who stayed on at the park,
those who had come prepared with
a lunch supper, got it ready to eat
and then ate it. After their suppers
and after they had cleaned up the
picnic grounds to a certain degree.
those who were lett adjourned to
high school hill where there were
fireworks for every one.
It was late when the last of the
large party turned their steps toward
home, the dim gas lamps didn't offer
much in the way of illumination and
t made the going over the rough
old board walks pretty hard,, but no
one thought of that. A big time had
been had by all and it was a happy
but tired group of townspeople that
wended their way homeward.
It had been a big day, a success in
every way and once more the little
city of Plattsmouth had done her part
n helping to observe the nation's in
dependence day. There are not many
eft now in the city of Plattsmouth
that remember this day, but there
are a few who will remember this
incident and it will doubtless bring
delightful memories to them. To
those citizens of Plattsmouth that
cannot look back at this incident as
a happy memory, but that have to
think of it merely as something that
happened before their time, it will
give them an opportunity to see just
how their fathers and mothers cele
brated the "glorious Fourth."

BROOKS
President of Iowa-Nebraska Light &
Power Uo. Addresses JNoon-uay
Luncheon, C. of C.
One of the most pleasing and in
structive talks the Chamber of Com
merce directorate has been privileged
to listen to in a long time was that
presented today at the bi-weekly
noon-day luncheon by Mr. F. H.
Brooks, president and general mana
ger of the Iowa-Nebraska Light and
Power company.
Mr. Brooks, a former manager of
the local plant back in 1913 when the
dea of transmission lines connecting
different cities with large electrical
plants was still a dream, told of his
early work for the company in Platts
mouth, which shares with York and
Red Oak the honor of being the birth
place of this corpporation whose ter
ritory covers 15,000 square miles m
2C Nebraska, 10 Iowa and 5 Missouri
counties. The three communities it
served in those early days furnished
l total of 1,000 consumers, whereas
t now supplies electrical energy to
250 communities with 5,000 con-r
sumers. Mr. Brooks gave these fig
ures as indicative of the great strides
that have been made in the electrical
business, which he said would be
paralleled by the gas distribution
business now in its infancy.
With maps, he recited that the past
two years have seen by far the great
er part of the advancement made in
this new industry throughout the cen
tral west, with a line now supplying
Denver, another extending to Grand
Island, the big 24-inch line in which
his allied company, The United Light
and Power, has a one-third interest,
that has now reached the borders of
Cass county and is coming this way
at the rate of a mile and a half daily,
and another line to enter this vicin
ity, which he says the Cities Service
comnany and allied concerns are
pooling interests to construct.
The line in which his company Is
interested is expected to reach this
city by the first of August and gas
service through the company s mains
here should be available by August
15th, declared Mr. Brooks. They ex
pect to arrange cut-over service from
manaufactured to natural in Beatrice
within the next ten days, and only
recently cut-over in York, terved by
the line running to Grand Island.
Near Palmyra, a 20-inch line takes
off from the 24-inch main, to serve
Lincoln and towns beyond northward
along the route of the Cornhusker
highway, extending to Sioux City
The main line through here will serve
Des Moines and several northeastern
Iowa manufacturing towns. It will
cross the river on the new Platts
mouth bridge, under arrangements
just completed with the Plattsmouth
Bridge company.
After his general discussion of the
gas situation and the statement that
he believed the next five years would
see a network or natural gas mains
spread over the central west, Mr
Brooks responded to queries, giving
the following further important in
formation:
Natural gas is cleaner, hotter and
cheaper than artificial.
The company is adopting a policy
of making all necessary changes
in gas stoves, water heaters, etc. free
of charge to the consumer. In York,
the cutover was accomplished in a
few days time by a force of twenty
trained workers, wlio previously se
cured all necessary equipment and
did the work with the least possible
inconvenience to consumers.
The gas is very nearly odorless,
but in order that leaks may be de
tected and explosions avoided, it will
be treated for that purpose.
80 per cent of modern furnaces are
capable of being used with gas burn
er equipment, which costs in the
neighborhood of $100 to $150. In
some instances it is advisable to in
stall gas furnaces, which are more
efficient than a made-over furnace.
This and other work is looked af
ter by specially trained employes of
the company, who make a survey of
heating needs, etc., and then make
their recommendations accordingly,
NEW SON ARRIVES

WINS TUG OF WAR
From Saturday's Dall
Yesterday afternoon the tug of
war at Naeve's park, just north of
the Platte river, was one of the big
features of the Fourth of July observ
ance at that place. The representa-.
tives of Sarov county were to Dull i
against Cass county's huskies and j
while the neighbors from across the
river had a good array of beef and
brawn to pull with, the Cass county j
team proved the most successful in
winning the two straight events and
were awarded the prize for their skill
and strength. The Cass county team primary election was Thursday and
comprised Lester Burrows, the an- despite the fact that prospective can

Fourth of
July
One of Quietest
in City's Record
Intense Heat Features the Day and
Forces Residents to Seek
Parks and Country
The 4th of July 1930, ranks as
one of the most quiet and tame in
the long history of the city and
while there have been many years
when celebrations have not been
held, still this year hardly any dem
onstration was made even by the
youngsters and save for the bombard
ment by the heavy artillery early
Friday morning, only a few crackers
were shot during the day.
The heat was intense and made the
day one of the hottest of the year
so far will 96 in the shade registered
and this temperature led all who
were living or located in the main
business part of the city, to seek
the cool of the parks, countryside and
swimming beaches for the day.
The fact of a three-day holiday in
the shops caused many to leave the
city for Chicago, Omaha, Denver,
Lincoln and other points in the 500
mile radius where they will enjoy
the outing with friends.
Large numbers from here were at
Omaha to enjoy the parks the Fourth
as well as a number motoring to Mur
ray to spend a few hours in the
waters of the swimming pool at that
place.
Very few accidents were reported
aside from a few burned fingers and
hands from fire works and no ser
ious cases were reported to the au
thorities as the result of the cele
bration of the natal day.
