Will Let Con tracts for Over head Crossings Projects Near LaPlatte and Fort Crook to Be in State Con tract Letting Soon From Mondays Dally For several years there has been agitated by the state the proposition mat ior convenience and safety there should be overhead crossings on nignway Ao. 75 passing through mis city, at the La Platte and Fort Crook railroad crossings. rr i iiie crossings seem to be near realization now as Secretary Roy coenran of the state department of public works is announcing that the contract for this work will be taken up at the lettings to be made by the state at Lincoln on August 11th, 19th and 29th. Since the creation of highway No 75 there has been a general demand that overhead crossings replace the present grade crossings which make necessary driving over the tracks of both the Burlington and Missouri Pacific at both LaPlatte and Fort Crook, at the former place being main lines of both roads while at Fort Crook the Burlington line is the branch going to South Omaha altho the main line of the Mop. Several plans were prepared by the state and federal highway en gineers to eliminate the crossings, one being that of a new bridge over the Pappio and routing the highway west of the railroads and crossing at Walnut Grove over the tracks and near the present overhead crossing on the Pappilion road, but this was checked by threats of litigation by parties owning land, leading to other plans that would start the overhead crossing along the present highway extending for some distance north and south of the crossings. While the matter has been under discussion this part of the paving on highway No. 75 has been held up until the site of the crossings could be definitely agreed upon by the state and the railroads and which seems now to be near realization. . RETURNS FROM SOUTHLAND Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Z. 'O. Dwyer returned from a 5, 000 mile auto trip through the south, visiting in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, for a period of several weeks and enjoying a trip through a great deal of the attractive country in Illi nois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ten nessee while en route to their des tination. They enjoyed a visit at Birming ham, Alabama, one of the chief in dustral centers of the south and where the time was spent at the home of a sister of Mrs. Dwyer, going from the Alabama city to Americus, Geor gia, one of the most attractive cities in that state and the former home of Mrs. Dwyer and here a week was spent with trips through the pictur esque country and at Atlanta the capitol city of Georgia.

In speaking of the trip Mr. Dwyer 6tates that corn in Tennessee, Ken tucky and southern Illinois, has suf fered a great deal from the drouth and the residents expect a very short crop. They found the roads in good Ehape as a general thing but struck a long stretch of highway from Evansville, Indiana, to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where a great deal of crushed rock newly placed on the highway made the going very slow. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer have en joyed the trip very much and return feeling prepared to take up their work in the law offices with renewed vigor and interest.

New Heat Record Established with 110 Sunday Torrid Rays of the Sun and Burn in j Winds Make Day One Hard to Endure Driving forward in the third ex treme spell tor July tne mercury Sunday soared to 110 the highest record of the summer and marking one of the hottest July days for a great many years, the intense heat was made even more severe on the residents and crops by one of the strong southwest wind that blew during the afternoon and bringing with it a heated wave of air that lasted for several hours. The extreme heat made desperate efforts on the part of the residents to seek some cooling place, hundreds driving to bathing beaches in this locality to enjoy a few hours in the cool of the water altho the wind made motoring anything but com fortable. The record for July so far has shown but very few days under 100 and the average for the month shows a few degrees better than the cen tury mark, as since July 4th there have been but few days under this mark and several with from 104 to 108 degrees. The heated period has brought with it a great demand for ice and cold drinks and proven a boon to the dealers in these lines, the local ice plant has been kept busy almost all day and night to supply the wants of the public and the fact of no de liveries of ice Sunday kept the em ployes at the plant busy handling the calls of the patrons who came with trucks, cars, wheelbarrows and the children's wagons to secure the frozen moisture that would aid in making the day more bearable.

The state presented the testimony of J. C. Crouch, Ray Campbell, Ar nold Mast and George Troop as their part of the offering. The story as related by the state's witnesses was to the effect that Will Troop, J. C. Crouch and Earl Troop had come to the Mast place to look after the changing of a cow from the pasture at the Mast place to that of Mr. Troop. Later George Troop came to get Mr. Crouch, taking him on to the place where they were to work. William Crouch, 15, was at the place milking when the party arrived there. Edward Murray had come past the Mast place, riding on a mowing ma chine and William Troop had gone out of the place and waved at Mur ray, stopping him and entering in to conversation. The witness, Crouch, stated that Murray had slapped or struck Troop and at which Earl Troop had entered into the trouble. Murray had in the fight fired a revolver at Earl Troop and the two had fought into a ditch on the west side of the road and with Earl Troop on Mur ray, Crouch had taken the revolver from Murray and threw it in the road, where it was placed in the car of Ray Campbell. According to the testimony of Crouch there had been only blows with their fists struck by the witness and Earl Troop on Mur ray. The witness, Arnold Mast, testified that he had been in the yard at his place when the flg.ht between Murray and Will Troop started and had gone out when the revolver shot was al leged to have been fired at Earl Troop. Witness had seen Murray in the ditch with Troop on top and Crouch trying to get the revolver away from Murray. Mast stated that he had struck Murray over the head with a piece of iron to stop the fight ing. In speaking of the advent of Theron Murray into the fight, Mast stated that it had been only a few moments after the fight started until Theron had arrived on the scene, with a gun, coming from his car and stooping or crouching, had fired one shot. Where the shot had gone witness did not see, but did observe that George Troop had tried to grab Theron, but failed, and later just as the second shot was fired by young Murray, Crouch had also grabbed him and with Troop had disarmed Theron, breaking the gun in the struggle. The second bullet fired by young Murray, the witness testified, had struck him in the vicinity of the groin and he was soon afterwards taken to the hospital. The defense offered no testimony in the preliminary hearing as the de fendant had entered a plea of not guilty and the court held Theron Murray to the district court for trial at the term commencing on Novem ber 24th. Theron Murray was released on bond in the sum of $2,000 for his appearance at the session of the dis trict court in this city.

Corn Crop is Damaged by the Extreme Heat Followins Protracted Drouth and Hot Winds Crop Here Short From 20 to 25 Per Cent. The corn crop of Cass county as judged by those familiar with the situation in the various sections of the county, promises a shrinkage of from twenty to twenty-five per cent over the prospects in June, the long dry period and the extreme heated periods of the past month cutting down very much the expected yield of the corn. One of the most severe blows to the corn was the hot winds of last week and again on Sunday which swept over this entire section and with a blast as from a heated fur nace, this blistering and injuring the corn very badly. The greatest sufferer from the heat and dryness seems to have been the late corn and that which was re planted as this has borne the brunt of the heat and dryness and is In very bad shape, reports from all parts of the county state.

All Departments A crt of 17 cents in city taxes on each $100 assessed value on real and personal property is in store for the citizens of Plattsmouth during the :oming year. In other words, if your home is assessed at $2,000, your net saving will amount to $3.40. The annual appropriation ordi nance, passed last night by the city council, provides for a total levy of 17 mills on the dollar, (or $1.70 on $100) compared with last year levy of IS. 7 mills (or $1.87 on $100.) The school levy will remain the same as last year, namely 18 mills (or $1.80 on $100) for general school purposes, and 2 mills (or 20c on ?iuw) tor sc-nooi bonds, making a total of $3.70 for consolidated city and school taxes, on each $100 as sessed valuation. iiy way or comparison the Journal publishes below the itemized levies tor the two years, showing where economies have been effec ted and, in one or two instances, increases pro- vided to build up overdrafted funds, particularly the general and lighting funds. The biggest reduction is in the road fund, the levy for which has been cut exactly in two. The increas- ed amount of paving has permitted of a great curtailment in the street force during the past few years, es- pecially since the paving of many of the hill streets where trouble from washing after heavy rains necessi- tated heavy repair expense. The fire department fund has also been cut from .47 mill to .34 mill and the library fund from 1.S7 to 1.40 mills. The cemetery fund is cut from 43 mill to .28 mill.

(suffered several days ago. I The life of this estimable lady has covered a period of over ninety-one years, a lifetime that is enjoyed by few, and whose years have been en- 'riched by loving services to her fam- lily and friends in the community here where her later years have been spent. Her going brings with it the sorrow or separation but leaving 'with those of her family circle a lov- ing memory to aid in the hour of ' sorrow at the earthly parting with their loved mother and grandmother. Bertha Ebener was born May 21, 1839, in the province of Brand'n berg, Prussia, then an independent kingdom, later the chief state of the German empire. She was reared to womanhood in the community where she was born and where in her girl hood she became a member of the Lutheran church in which faith she continued until death called her from the sufferings of the physical life to the triumph of the life ever lasting. She was married on May 26, 1867, to Bernard Wurl at the old home in Germany, they coming shortly afterwards to the United States to make their future home and located at Horicon, Wisconsin, where they made their home for a number of years and where the children were all born. The family came to Plattsmouth on May 12, iS87, and have since re sided here, the family being reared here and where they have occupied a large place in the community life. Mr. and Mrs. Wurl for many years made their home in the family home on North Fourth street in the resi dence now owned by Frank M. Bes tor until the death of the hu.sband and father, which occurred on June 15, 1914. Since the passing away of Mr. Wurl, the widow maintained her own home until the advancing years made it necessary for her to give up her usual activities, since which time she has resided with the sons in this city and their families, the greater part of the time making the home with her son, Bernard. There remains to mourn the pass ing of this loved lady five sons, Paul of Pomona, California; Emil A., and Bernard G. of Plattsmouth; Otto A. of Council Bluffs, and Ernest E. of Pomona, California. ROTARY HOLDS PICNIC From Wednesday's Dally The months when a fifth week is found are always happy occasions for the members of the local Rotary club as they bring the joint social gatherings of the members of the club and their Anns, which event was observed yesterday as the final week in July. The event was voted to be a pic nic, an ideal choice as the cool and pleasant surroundings of the Elks Country club proved a wonderful setting for the large group of the Rotarians and the Rotary Anns. The members of the party gathered at the club as the afternoon was drawing to the close and where many diversions had been arranged by the committee composed of Dr. P. T. Heineman and Fred I. Rea. Members and their ladies who felt inclined to golf had a fine opportunity over the exceptionally choice course of the country club and this served to en tertain quite a large number or the group. The most exciting features of the picnic was, however, the baseball game, while the participants were not showing any real professional prowness on the diamond or any sen sational plays were made, the root ing of Carl Jensen served to add to the fire and excitement of the games. For those who preferred a exact ing entertainment and especially the ladies, the Bingo game served to pass the time and give a thrill to the players, in this Fred Rea taking the role so often carried by Elmer Webb while Lynn Minor proved the Roy Holly of the occasion. The luncheon, which was bounte ous and delicious in every way, was served cafeteria style and in which the members of the Cloidt f-imily with the PYPentlon of "Hill" did the serving to the hnppyand hungry of Rotarians and Anns It was late in the eveninf ie, members of the party wended ine,r Wfly nomewara visnirg ior j c monu mnwn. li onmr r i -v- o Mis3 Catherine Blackhurst, teacher in the Whiting, Indianan. schools, who has been visiting in Alaska for the past few months, arrived hero last evening for a visit here at the home of her uncle, D.
