If the I. (). (). T. bury the body of
Mr. Stowe, it will only be in the follow
ing out of the mottoe of their order, as
Mr. Stowe had only been a member of
that order for one week, and wiu not en
titled to any benefits.
It ia probnbl- that the I. O. O. P.
will bury the body of Mr. Stowe some
time this week. On the lod"e books the
name ia jijned "Chan. J. Stove." On the
inquest "Chas. L. Stove." The nursery
orders arc signed J. C. Stowe.
M. Clagett remarked last night;
"Heaven's streets paved with cold, and
Plattsmouth streets paved with mud
He waa, probably, not aware at the
time, that the sewer bonds of $50,
000 had been voted yesterday and the
conntract fr paving our streets had been
made months ago with Mr. Riley, of Oma
ha. "Comparisons are odious."
A good many people run after us on
the street and say, "doa't mention this
or don't mention that," and then try and
make us ridiculous in the eves of the
public by making false assertions in ans
wer to questions. The only item that
we are very careful not to mention, is
anything that would be liable to injure a
person' reputation, or bring disgrace on
a family.
Prepared Rooting.
Under the above heading, we would
call our readers' attention to the advertise
ment of M. Ehret, Jr. & Co. 'a Prepared
RooSng. Not the least of the practical
nierita of this article, is that it can bo
applied by any person who can use a
hammer, and is delivered to the purchas
er in rolls ready to put on the roof.
The body of this roof ng is composed
of two or three sheets of tarred felt, be
tween each sheet of which, a layer of in
soluble waterproof cement is forced, and
the whole is set by being passed between
powerful steam rollers, forming a mater
ial of unrivalled compactness and dura
bility. When it is laid upon the roof and
coated between laps and nailed, a coat
of asphaltum cement is applied with an
ordinary brush. "When this hardens a
second coat is applied, which completes
and makes a perfectly water-tight roof.
It is now in use in eyery Western
State and Territory, in every one of
which, are roofs at least six years old
In every case these ars as good as when
laid and completely exclude rain and
wind.
Melting snow, which tries such roofs
most severely, has no effect upon it.
"When injured by age or wear, it can be
easily and cheaply repaired. Its unriv-
ailed adaptability to all the purposes, for
which any roof is required, secures it an
e.isy and continuous sale.
The shape in which it is put up, also
makes it as convenient for the retailer to
etore and handle it, as it is for use by the
consumer.
This Roofing is only made by M.
Ehret, Jr. & Co., of Philadelphia and
Chicago, and who are represented at
Chicago by Mr. S. II. Bingham, at 50
Dearborn Street. They have just issued
a remarkable attractive circular, which
is of interest to all who have use fur a
first-class and cheap roofing, which any
one can put on, and will be mailed free
on application.
SUICIDE BY SHOOTING.
A Sad Ending of an Industrious,
Respected Citlzon.
Eva ngellstlc-
The attendance at the meetings yester
day afternoon and evening at the 3Ieth
odist church was good, the church keing
filled fro us one end to the other, and ev
erybody seemed to be rery much inter
ested in the talk of Rev. Clagett and the
songs of Mr. Bilhorn. Several made re
quests for prayer, and others manifested
a desire to become Christians. The topic
for tonight is "Hell is the Home of those
that reject Christ." The afternoon meet
ings are held at 3:30 and the evening
meeting at 7:30, in the Ml E. church.
Let everybody go and hear the good
talks of Mr. Clagett and the sweet songs
of Mr. Bilhorn. w
Call at Ths Hxkjlld office and get
your litter heads printed.
I Forgive you, as I Would be For
given.' Mr. Stowe. the well-known nursery
man, whose home waa located exactly 375
pacea due west of the end of the ttreet
car trat k, committed suicido about C:-0
this morning. The deed wo done by an
"American bulldog" self-acting revolver,
38 calibre. The wound nui below the
nipple of the left breast. The clothiag
around the wound was burtit aud torn,
in a manner to indicate that the revolver
must have been held close t-j the body at
the time of bhooting.
The corpse was discovered in a lower
room, facing west, in the c- ntcr of tho
new building going up for Mr. Iiallou,
in the west part of town, lying on so:n;
shavings, by the workmen employed ou
the building, about seven o'clock this
morning.
Ihe workmen thought it was a tramp
asleep, and infermed Mr. ( has. Harris,
tho contractor, who thereupon gave the
supposed tramp two or three kicks to
arouse him, but finding that of no avail
turned the man over, whan he identified
Mr. fetowe, a corpse, shot through the
heart. The smoking revolver laj a short
distance from the prostrate body.
Mr. Harris immediately came to town
and notified the corour, who with a jury
straightway returned to the I5idlou build
ing. After a careful examination of wit
nesses the jury aud coroner went to the
home of the heart-broken widow and
fwur children, now left drsol-its. Mr
Stowe said that she did not know that he
had left the house this morning until her
little b 'y came running to her and said
"Mamma, I can't find papa any where !"
The next thing she heard, was, that her
husband was dead.
After the body had been turned over
on its back, it appeared like a person in
a calm, tranquil train of thought. The
eyes and mouth were partly open, the
features pale, Avith a dreamy expression.
1 lis right foot was crossed over
the left, the right hand partly open lay
ing near the right side, the left hand lay
ing in an easy positieu, clenched on ths
breast near the wound. There was hard
ly any indications of death, only a dark,
torn, burnt spot, about two inches in di
ameter on the left breast. The blood
from the wound flowed inwardly.
"a sea of tkoublks."
So far as we have been able to glean
information concerning the cause of death,
it is stated tkat Mr. Chas. Srow enm to
this city about last July and invested in
the property on which he resided, buy lag
the same of Ballou Bros, through the
agency of Chas. Harris. Th'- property had
to be paid for in monthly payments
hard-earned money, off a form in Iowi
down first, in part payment.
Stowe could not keep up with the Intral
requirements of the contract, through un
forseen circumstances, and the contract.
was annulled last fall. Sines then Stowe
has paid for the rent, monthly.
Ererytime poor Stowe turned in any
direction to better his t rospects, the
hand of fate gave him a slap in the face
and knocked him back in the lap of ad
versity.
At six o'clock this morniag Mr. L. C.
Mercer met Stowe ou the road near tSi
ate of the Catholic cemetery, going in
the direction of the Ballou proper v.
Mercer asked, "Where are you going so
tarly in the morning 1" lit replied, "to
Taylor's, and I'll be back by 9 o'clock."
t is supposed he then wtnt direct and
committed the rash act.
A few months ago Mr. Stowe accepted
the position of agent for the Jewell
Nursery firm, of Lake City, Minnesota.
He canvassed this city for orders and all
through the county. "When he took a
$1 order he would add a '"0" and makf
it read $ 10, snd so on with other figures.
In addition to this he would cnd in or
ders on fictitious names, for different
sums. From Plattsmouth alone he sent
in forty-ona order.-, containing names of
persons who never had any existence in
his city. Then the company would for
ward percentage or commission of 15 per
cent on the same. The company esti
mates their loss at $500.
Mr. L. W. Holmes, who represents the
company, was in the city yesterday in ves
tigating the matter, and in the evening
was ou a strtswt car going out to Merccr-
ville to question a Mrs. 11 1 1 regarding
