family reside. Major Hamilton

Craig, are in the grade schools.
On Ms way home Mr. Dwyer stop
ped at Adrain. Michigan,' near where
his old boyhood .home is located and
had a very pleasant visit with his
brother, John Dwyer and family.
Crops in that section are fine but the
price being off has caused a great
deal of dissatisfaction among the
farmers.
Stopping at Chicago Mr. Dwyer
found that there is a great deal of
inactivity and many long established
business houses are closing their
doors and going out of business.

Tom Nelson
Found Dead at
Murray Home
Employee of George E. Nickles for a
Great Many Years, Found
Dead Early Today.
Prom Monday's Dally
Thomas Nelson, 72, who for the
past twelve years has been an as
sistant at the lumber yard and coal
office of George E. Nickles, at Mur
ray, was found dead this morning
at his home in Murray.
Mr. Nelson had been in the cus
tom of opening the yard for business
each morning and today parties ar
riving there early were unable to get
In and accordingly called Mr. Nickles,
who came down and stopped at the
home of Mr. Nelson to learn if he
was home. It was found that he had
passed away apparently in the night
and it was thought that death had
occurred suddenly as he was fully
dressed and apparently had been
reading.
Mr. Nelson was a former resident
of Springfield and had taught school
in that section of'the state and was
a man of very fine education and
ability.
The only relative in this part of
the state as far as known is a son,
Lawrence, of Omaha, who was noti
fied of the death.
DENOUNCE SLOT MACHINES
OPENS BEAUTY SHOP
Miss Gladys Inman, of Council
Bluffs, has reopened the beauty
shoppe in the Hotel Plattsmouth and
is now looking after the needs of
the ladies of the city in this line. The
new operator of the shop has for the
past seven years been engaged in
operating a shop in Council Bluffs
and comes very highly recommended
as an expert in all lines of the profession.
The Cass County Christian Fel
lowship association, composed of the
the church men of the county, have
taken a very firm and decided posi
tion against the proposed legalizing
of slot machines in the state where
they have long been banned. .
The action was taken with the
adoption of resolutions at the meet
ing held at AIvo on Sunday.
It is fortunate that this group
has so definitely stepped out in con
demnation of this attempt to bring
onto the people of the state a curse
that will bring ruin to many and
benefit only to monopolies that con
trol this gambling evil.
In the attempt to induce the peo
ple of the state to let down the bar
riers to the slot machine evil, it is
made to appear that they will pro
duce a great amount of money to
provide for old age assistance but
for each penny given the assistance
hundreds will enrich the operators.
CLEARING PARKING LOTS
Prom Monday's Daily
The city street department force
was busy today in clearing off the
vacant lots at Seventh and Main
streets and arranging them so that
they might be used for car parking
during the King Korn Karnival the
last of the week. Thes,e lots are well
located and should help a great deal
in the relief of the parking problem.
REDECORATES BUSINESS PLACE
ENJOYS VISIT WITH COUSIN
Sam Barrett of the Masonic Home
here, was surprised last Friday by
a visit from a cousin whom he had
never before seen. . His visitor was
Frank Barrett of Thurman,
The Donat Tavern at Fourth and
Main streets has been redecorated
in a very attractive manner for the
King Korn Karnival and now is one
of the attractive places of the city.
The interior of the room has been
repaincd and in soft and pleasing
colors makes a truly pleasing picture.
The woodwork has also been
cleaned and makes the room bright
and thetry to the patrons.
