Denth of Mn. I. W. TeeRarden.
The many friends of Mrs. I. W. Tee
garden, formerlv Miss Lucy Wolcott
of Wecpinc Water, were severely
shocked this morning to learn of her
sudden death. It seems from the mea
gre report given that 6he died this
morning while undergoing an opera
tion for appendicitis. She leaves a
devoted hnsband and one child a
little girl between four and five years
of age to mourn her loss.
The deceased was 29 years of age
and was married to I. W. Toegarden
September 2S, 1892 at Weoping
Water. Mrs. Teegarden was a most
lovable woman, kind and thoughtful
of the comfort and happiness of others.
She will be greatly missed by a
largo circle of of Jelatives and friends.
The funeral will take place at 2 p.
m. Wednesday, May 18th.
Will l'alnt the llridge.
A large force of men came in this
morning from Lincoln with brushes
and buckets, and several barrels of
paint, and will begin work on the big
steel bridge across the Missouri river.
The color will not be changed and the
job will last several weeks as it is
quite an undertaking.
From twenty to twenty-five men will
be employed for six weeks. Tbirty
six barrels of paint were used the last
time the bridge was painted but so
large an amount will not be required
this time as some of the iron trestle
work is to be filled in and will not
therefore be painted.
Sells Soap to Uncle 8am,
The Cudahy company recently sold
a large quantity of soap to the govern

tered The glycerine works are kept run

To llrldge the Platte.
It is said the farmers near La Platte
are willing to pay half the expense of
a wagon bridge across that stream at
Oreapolis if this county will put up
the other half of the fund. A bridge
c in be built very cheaply in below the
two railroad bridges, and since it
would bring a big trade to this city,
and be a great convenience to the pub
lic, the matter is well worth consider
ation The county board will probably
give the matter some attention before
it adjourns.

The News learns from a reliable

They will all pass through this city
and make fetops hero for the conveni

One train is the Q local and will pass

continued. The K. C. train south will
leave Omaha at 4 in the afternoon,
ten minutes earlier than the Q train
and will reach here about 4:35 and tho
Q, 4:60 in tho afternoon. This will give
Plattsmouth tho following trains to

ing, 2:22, 3:43 and 4:59 in tho after
noon. This cacd will go into effect

An Indian Scare.
Denver, May 16. From tho tenor
of communication received by Colonel
Summer during the past few days it
appears that tho Indians in tho de
partments of the Colorado and tho
Missouri are showing an unusually
restless spirit which bodos no good lor
the settlers on the borders of the res
ervations. The danger of an outbreak
in Arizona has become so imminent
that Col. Summer has ordered two
troops of cavalry from Fort Huachua
to the Mexican, boundary lino, with
orders to move from Nogales, Ari., to
the gulf of California, observing a
strict parole of tho entire border. An
other troop was ordered from Fort
Grant to Fort Huachuca to garrison
the latter fort while the troops are in
the field and to bo prepared to assist
these troops in case of trouble. One
troop of 'the Eighth cavalry was re
cently ordered from Fort Meade, S.
D-., to Fort Washakie, Wyo., and there
is a probability that this force will ba
sidetracked and sent to, Fort Niobrara
Neb"., instead.
Col. Summer today received a peti
tion for troops from a largo number of
Bottlers iu that portion of Nebraska
adjoining the Sioux reservation who
believe the Sioux are planning a whole
salo massacre of whites.
