Tuesday's Daily.
Mayor liutler and a few members of
the council were a few minutes late
last evening and President 1'ro Tern
Murphy took the chair and called the
body to order. During the reading of
the minutes the mayor and the tardy
members came in, and from that time
ou a real business meeting was in
progress until eleven o'clock.
Mr. Spies presented a resolution in
regard to the Sixth street paving re
questing the city attorney to prepare
an ordinance to provide for the paving
of the street between Pearl and Vine
streets with the pavment the property
owners shall select, and that the city
shall pave the intersections. This
resolution brought out a very full dis
cussion of the subject. Messrs. Mur
phy, ( raves, Spies, Jones of the Second,
Petersen and Longenhagen were the
speakers. It was stated that there is
in the paving fund some $750 which is
available, and that it is enough to pay
the eity's share in this work. The
resolution was adopted and Sixth
street is to be paved.
Mrs. li. F. S. Burton presented a
petition asking that the bridge near
her property on lloldredge street near
Chicago avenue be tepaired and a ditch
made in order to protect the property
from damages from floods. Referred.
Mr. Murphy took occasion here to
fire some hot shot about the negligence
uf the oity to protect citizens' property
and told of some of his own and others
which had long suffe. id in consequence.
Fie said that unless some relief is given
-1o annn tha fitv would h)&Vf 1.1 nv
Sn&ages, as the patience of
. ed.
i. M. Carroll of First street,
I cersteen Hill, also presented a
, tion asking for relief in this direc
, -ion which was referred.
Next followed a resolution oc side
walks by Mr. Graves which set the
oratorical pot boiling at such a rate
that it seemed for awhile that it would
end in talk. The resolution was
tin ally adopted except as to some side
walks on Sixth street, which matter
was referred to the street committee
to investigate and report at next meet
ing. The object of the resolution was
to compel a large number of persons to
put down walks, and the resolution
bad to be passed in order to make the
notification binding upon the re
cipients. 11. 13. Windham was then in the room
and Mr. Murphy stated that he had a
statement to make to the council and
asked permission that he be heard.
The request was granted and Mr.
Windham gave the councilmen a
history of the work done and con
templated by the. board of trade and
council committees, co-operating with
the citizens in general, in regard to in
creasing the manufacturing industries
of the town. He carefully, yet con
cisely, stated what had been done at
the committee ami public meetings
lecentiy held and the conclusions ar
rived at. The need of advertising was
then taken up and put in such a plain,
business-like manner that it carried
conviction with every sentence. Past
experience was briefly touched upon
and the mistakes pointed out. The
proposed plan was thea presented and
explained and illustrations made.
Kearney, Neb.. Rapid City, Dakota,
and Portland, Oregon, were cited as
examples of what eould be done and
the speaker showed a Rapid City
illustrated book as a specimen of the
class of work the committees and busi- j
oess idea wanted. He also stated that
he believed, knew in fact, that if the1
council would male an appiopriation
for this work it would be a big-paying
investment and no one who owned
property would be a loser and there
fore a grumbler by reason of it.
"Ever? person." said he, "who lives
in the town is interested in this work
and every one will be benefitted in
proportion to the financial interests be
has i tvolved." Every word was
listened to with the closest attention
and at the conclusion of the remaiks
by the speaker, the five huudrei dol
lars asi '! tor by him on behalf of the
commiurcs and the business men was
granted with a cordiality which spoke
volumes for the progressiveness of the
present city rulers.
This money will be paid out on or
ders, every bill will be audited and
voted upon and not a cent of it can be
squandered or misappropriated.
Photographs will be made of the
public and mercantile buildings, tine
residences, the bridge, scenes, etc
and cuts made there from. This illus
trated book will be something hand
some, something that will be prized
read and preserved by those who re
ceive it. The committees have been at
work securing names of capitalists
seeking locations and these books will
be sent directly to these men. The
results will be gratifying and the pres
ent council and these business workers
will have acchieved enduring fame for
public-spiritedness not equalled by
any of their predecessors. A
After the settlement of this'question
the regular work of the council was
again taken up, and the report of the
police judge was read and referred
Then followed that everlasting
Ninth street extension project which
was discussed in detail and Surveyor
Maves came upon the boards with
maps, drawings and figures galore
The proposed route came near going
through this time, but was finally shut
off by a motion instructing the city at
toiney to get options on the land neces
sary for a different route straight
through to Holdrecre street and the
whole mattar was continued to the
next meeting. That the street will
soon be opened, however, is now
settled fact. The only question to be
decided is the preference as to routes,
and that will probably be done at the
next meeting.
The Sullivan judgment ghost next
made its last and final appearance and
was ordered paid.
The treasurer's report was read and
referred, as was also the fire warden's
The Orchard Hill entanglement was
touched upon but owing to the Miller
case not being finally disposed of in
court the city attorney asked for f ui
ther time in which to make a recom
mendation, and this matter went over
as unsettled business.
Mr. Petersen called attention to the
fact that billiard and pool table) were
iu use in the city' upon which no li
cense had been paid as he was in
formed. The city trrasurer's 'atten
tion was directed to this and he was
requested to see that the boys came up
with tne stamps.
ronceman f itzpatrick s bond was
read and approved.
Surveyor Mayes report of the side
walks built in the last two years by the
city and unpaid for was read. The
list was ordered advertised and the
council agreed to sit as a board of
equalization to hear the property own
ers on Wednesday, July 13, as to cause
if anv exist, why the costs should not
be taxed against the property.
Mayor Butler said: " We will now
see if we can have a chief of police. I
nominate James Grace. Mr. Clerk, call
the roll." The roll was called and
Grace was confirmed.
The council then took a recess until
next Monday night.
This is a business council with a

Loder vs. Loder. appeal from Cass
county, affirmed. Opinion by Chief
Justice Maxwell.
In an action to set aside a deed
made by a father in bis dotage to his
youngest con, held, that the testimony
tended to show undue influence on the
part os the son and that the father was
not in a mental condition to transact
important business.
The judgment is supported bv the
weight of evidence and is affirmed.
The above is the decision Monday
given by the supreme court. It is an
important one for Commissioner Lo
der. When his father died a deed
turned up which gave all the real and
personal property to one son, 8. U.
Loder. This cut off the inheritance of
A. C. and the other children and they
began suiOo have the deed set aside
and won the case in the district court.
The' defendant appealed and now the
supreme court has affirmed the lower
court's decision. The Drooertv in

The Opportunity,
The Edison Co. of Chicago which
purchased the street car plant is re
ported to be willing to come to this
city, if it can tret the right kind of a
franchise, and put in a competing
light plant and operate the railroad
that it will own if the street railway
plant sale is confirmed. Otherwise
the company proposes to tear up the
track and remove tbe material.
rnis town uoesn t propose to pay
anything for the old railroad to remain
here. The ciiy has an electric plant
already here, owned and operated by
men who are citizens and whose inter
ests are identical with those of the
town. These men are tbe ones to run
a street railway if one is to be run
upon a paying basis. If any favors
are to grant in the way of favorable
franchises the people now on tbe
ground and with interests here should
be given the preference.
Tbe old railway was a mistake from
the beginning. It was never estab
lished to be a paying investment in
itself, but as a feeder to wild-cat spec
ulation in real estate and stocks and
it was a failure. If a new road is to be
built, let business men take bold of it
and build it for tbe convenience of
the people and with a view to perma
nency and dividends.
"The Journal is the only Platts
mouth newspaper a business man can
send away from town without blush,
ing To send any other paper to a
prospective investor would be simply
to disgust him with the town. He
would throw it in the waste basket and
say to himself, 'if that is a sample of
tbe town I want nothing to do with it.
Good newspapers are worth more to a
town than many of our citizens seem
to know." M. B. Murphy.

Saturday's Dally
Owing to some misunderstanding
the janitor of the court house last
night failed to open the county court
room for the meeting of the loard of
trade, members and citizens, which
caused some delay in the calling to or
der and many were led to believe that
the meeting had been abandoned, as
no light was visible in the building,
ami went away before a room could be
secured.
However, the men who were on hand
were determined that nothing should
3top the consideration of business.
Hail iff Thrasher was present and the
equity court room was opened and
lighted and tbe meeting called to order
by President Windham, who briefly
stated the object of the meeting and
called for an expression of opinion
from those present. Messrs. Geo. K.
Dovey, Edward A. Oliver. Kobert
Sherwood, A. E. IJarrett, Judge Sulli
van, Dr. W. A. Humphrey, A. 11.

Deariug, Mayor Hutler, J. C. Petersen,
lien Elson, J. J. McVey. H. C. Alc
Maken, Fred Lehnhoif and many oth
ers were present.
Tbe first question settled was the'
Fourth celebration. After hearing
from a number of gentlemen the ques
tion was decided in the affirmative by
a unanimous vote, every person pres
ent voting.
A general committee was seiecteu,
after hearing suggestions from the
representatives of the different wards,
and given power to organize iiseii ana
select the sub-committees and have
complete control of the celebrations
and tbe arrangements to ue maae.
This committee consists of ten mem
bers two from each ward and is as
follows: First ward Geo. E. Dovey
and J. J. MeV'ey. neconu wi-.,
A. Sbipman and li. u. iicMasen.
Third ward F. M. liicbey and A. N.
Sullivan. Fourth ward T. C. Sbep
bard and Wm. Ballance. Fifth ward
A. J. Graves and E. A. Oliver.
The public improvement and tbe
manufactoring industries proposed.
were then discussed and also a plan
for the proper presentation of the
advantages of Plattsmouth and Cass
county to eastern capitalists.
Mr. Windham stated that rie oaa a
list of over two hundred manufacturers
who were now considering the claims
of towns.
Mr. Murphy suggested that thecity
appropriate a reasonable sum for the
printingof a descriptive and illustrated
book and this was favorably received.
Mr. Clark suggested tbe appointment
of a committee to secure options on
desirable sites for manufactories, in
order that the joint committees of the
board of trade and council might be
in a position to close at any time any
deal which may be considered ad
vantageous to the city. This is a good
roposition and Mr. Windham prom
sed to present the matter to the
board of trade at its next meeting. In
this connection The Journal
suggests that no better man than
Byron Clark can be named as one
member of this committee.
Tbe arrangements committee will
meet Monday evening for the formu
lating of a plan for the Fourth of cele
bration.
Good Blood Pays Wall.
The Breeders1 Gazette, published at
Chicago, has this to say regarding
prices: "The results or the spring
sales of cattle emphatically impress
the great truth that the market for
really worth specimens of the various
breeds is as constant as the rising and
setting of the sun. It is only the com
mon stuff that drops out of sight in
periods of general depression. There
never has been a time in our experience
when outstanding quality and merit
met with quicker recognition than
now. The man who breeds a horse, a
bull, a sheep or a hog that clearly over
tops the average of the breed is ab
solutely certain of a good price for such
product of his skill. Do not mistake
depression in culls and weeds for lack
of activity in "tops." The fact that
there is no longer any money in pro
pagating mere pedigrees tbould serve
to render tbe calling and election of
tbe legitimate breeder and improver of
a race all the more certain. Excep
tionally choice animals inky be, and as
a matter of fact are, exceedingly diffi
cult to produce, even from the most
