RETURNS FROM EAST
William Kenned', who for the past
winter has been engaged in working
at Chicago, has returned home to
visit with the brother and sister on
the farm home southeast cf this city.
Mr. Kennedy was employed in the
roundhouse of the Milwaukee rail
road. He was at Chicago during the
extreme cold weather and the snowy
condition there was as severe as out
here in Nebraska, the snow removal
being a large problem for the city of
Chicago.
IMPROVES SHOP
The interior of the O. K. beauty
shop just east of Trilety's, is being
redecorated and made very attrac
tive in every way. Mrs. Sadie Scbafer,
owner of the shop has just had one
of the latest type of permanent wave
machines installed in the shop, as
well as having the furniture redecor
ated and the walls and ceiling of the
shop will also be given a touching
ui.
Another pleasant feature of the
evening was the fact Robert M.
Mann, a son, arrived from Lincoln
unexpeeterly to join in the happy oc
casion. The evening was closed with the
serving of a much enjoyed luncheon.
Mr. Mann was born in St. Louis,
Missouri, on March 10. 1S68, but
when a child was brought to Platts
mouth by his parents, Captain and
Mrs. Peter Mann, and has since made
his home here and is one of the best
known residents of the community.
In hi3 boyhood he received his first
acquaintance with printer's ink and
has been connected with the printing
and newspaper business since that
time. Ke served his apprenticeship
here in local papers, among them the
Journal, later working in Omaha and
Fremont until he returned to Platts
mouth to make his permanent home.
For over a half century he has been
in the printing game and up until a
year and a half ago was job printer
at the Journal.
There is no one in the community
who is more familiar with the Platts
mouth of the past and of the present
day than Mr. Mann and he has be
come an authority cf historical facts
of the city.
The many friends will join in con
gratulating him on his anniversary
and trust that he may have many
mere in the years to come.

insky that the local cemetery be

Mr. and Mrs. Ross Shields were in
Omaha Monday where they made the
purchase of some additional equip
ment for use in their new cleaning
establishment which will be located
in the Davis building.
Miss Agnes Rough was over to
Omaha to attend Merchants day last
Sunday but went on the train and
was able to return home the same
way, not being troubled with the
bridge out of order at Oreapolis.
Mesdames Ralph Keckler, E. L.
McCartney, Richard Keckler and Ras
mus Lawritzen made up a party who
were over to Lincoln for the day
last Tuesday where they were looking
after some shopping which they had
in mind.
E. A. Oldham was over to Omaha
Wednesday of this week waiting un
til the bridge had been opened again
for traffic and was in no way incon
venienced by the closing of the bridge
over the Platte river, for it had been
opened again.

Methodist Brotherhood Meets.
4 On Monday night of this week the
Methodist Brotherhood met at the
church basement, some fifty in num
ber, and listened to an address de
livered by the Rev. E. S. Pangborn,
now minister of tne ..uetnoaist cnurcn
at Shelton, but formerly ministering
to the church here and at Nehawka.
Rev. Pangborn was guest and also
the principal speaker at the gather
ing which wa3 held Monday evening.
There was also a musical feature be
sides the address which was very
pleasing to the members gathered
for the evening. The topic to which j
Chief O. Sandia reported five fires, in
cluding the Watson truck on the
highway . south of the city and the
Adam Schafer place near Murray.
The L. W. Egenberger agency,
which has charge of the city rentals,
reported that the sum of $25.46 had
been collected and turned over to the
city.
Mayor George Lusliinsky, of the
board of health, reported that the
general health condition of the c,ity
was good and that the few cases of
childish maladies were cf mild type
and clearing up.
A communication was also received
from the war department relative to.justed to the satisfaction of every
the matter of a dock on tne Missouri
river near this city, this being placed
on file for future reference.
There was considerable discussion
work on both blocks of the project
was possible. It would be necessary
to secure a larger concrete mixer
when the paving work was to be
started. i
County Surveyor R. D. Fitch was
present and discussed the paving and
surveying work on which he ha3
jbeen assigned. He stated that con
crete when being poured for paving
or other work had to be kept at cer
tain temperatures if the casts were
to be good. If paving was laid on a
cold wet surface such as Sixth street
had been that it would have crumbled
on the bottom. If the weather con
tinued good and no other objection
appeared, the next thirty days should
see the work well toward completion.
Mr. Fitch also discussed the mat
ter of grades established for curbs
and sidewalks in the south Sixth
street district, where there had been
a variance in the height of the curb,
which was lower on the west side
than on the east, this being explained
that overflow water from the south
came over and struck the curb on
the east side first and which had been
made higher than on the west, the
curb on the east being 18 inches and
on the west side 12.
Edward Gabelman, president of the
Eagles, was present and stated that
the proposed curb would put their
walk below the entrances to their
building, and would make it very in
convenient to the occupants as well
as make necessary additional steps
to the entrance and in this Council
man Schutz also joined. They would
like to have the matter locked into
before the curb and walks arc
changed.
Mr. Fitch stated that the curb had
been set according to plans and
wishes of the WPA officials. That
there had been six inches taken off to
hold on grade and save ruining all
the sidewalks along the street.
Mr. J. H. McMaken urged that the
paving and all work on the south side
be completed before the north sec
tion was entirely torn up, permit
ting travel along the street.
The curb regulation was finally
left to the WPA committee to take;
what steps they could to have it ad-
