DISTURBED THE PEACE A La Platte Fisherman Becomes a Guest of Jailor McBride. 0U ob the OaUlda of a Oood Load of Bag J a lea and FrocMdi to Amui BlmMlf by Destroying a Well Curb Janlor History Boys Mot la Favor of tn Clsrtt. - A fisherman from Ls Platte named Alex Hunter came to town yesterday. and,after visiting several of the liquor tores and taking on a pood supply of the juice that makes a man forget hia troubles, he started to walk home via the Missouri Pacific tracks. By the time he reached the depot he was feel ing so good that he could not resist the temptation to destroy something and proceeded to amuse himself by tearing boards off a well curb belong to a citizen in that part of town. , The officers were quickly notified by telephone of Hunter's actions, and Po liceman Fitzpatrick hurried to the scene of the trouble. Hunter was brought to town and locked up. When brought before Judge Archer this morning he seemed to regret hav ing sinned as he did, but this tender feeling did not prevent him from pleading guilty to the charge of dis turbing the peace, but he was very particular to impress the court that be was not intoxicated at the time, he having merely removed the boards to light a fire. Judge Archer listened to his explanation and then stated that it was the sentence of the court that he pay a fine of $1 and costs, amounting in all to $5.30. Hunter will stay at the jail for a few days. Not la Favor of Clf arattea. The Boys' Junior History class are using their best efforts to suppress the ale of cigarettes in the city.

A Commltta of tba Woman's Christian '" Tamparauca Colon Reports. The committee on plan of work re spectfully submitted the following, which was adopted by the W. C. T. U. at their county convention, held at Avoca June 27 and 28: 1. We recommend that each union place more stress upon the devotional exercises to make them more spiritual, that new members may catch the spirit of crusade fire that must follow a spiritual meeting, which will give them a desire to attend. 2. We recommend the organization of young women's work upon the plan of the Young Peoples' Christian Tem perance Union, but wherever a sep arate organization cannot be main tained the young people be urged to unite with us in our worn, and special programs be prepared and carried out by them. 3. We also recommend that a sep arate time be set apart for the study of department work in our local union; that drills in parliamentary usage be held under the auspices of the local union. Also that an effort be made to have the study of parliamentary usage introduced into our schools. 4. We recommend that our women continue their protests against the post canteen system until such a time as our government shall cease to put temptation before our soldiers. To this end we would recommend that each union bold a public meeting at the earliest date possible, at which time extracts from the Union Signal, the Ram's Horn or any other source be read and discussed, thereby bring ing the subject more prominently be fore the people. 5. Believing that we should keep in touch with the educational interests of the state, we recommend that our wo men attend the primaries and exercise the right of franchise at the annual school election, seeking to place in nomination and secure the election of women as members of the school board. 6. In view of the importance of the information contained in our Year Book, we recommend that the county pay for a copy for each county superin tendent, and that each union place one in the hands of each local superinten dent. 7. Believing that the petition work is a great means of bringing reforms before the public, we recommend that our women be more active in their cir culation. Mes. Mary Johnson. Mrs. L. c. Pollard.

No Celebration of Any Import ance In lMattsnioutli. One of the Features of the Fourth of July This Year Was tha Fact That No Serloua Accidents Occurred Burl Chandler Has a Oood Time Destroying a Screen Door. The Fourth in Plattsmouth was a rather quiet event there being no eel ebration of any importance. Both the bands were out of the city, and scores of people went to Omaha, Lincoln, Havelock, Wahoo, Weeping Water, Glenwood, Ia., and various other sur rounding towns to spend the day. The report of firecrackers could be heard frequently around town, but the d.iy seemed more like Sunday than the Fourth. In the afternoon nearly all the business houses were closed. An unusual feature of the Fourth of July this year was the fact that no serious accidents occurred. Mildred, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (J. S Johnson, met with a slight accident while shooting off firecrackers. Her mouth was quite badly burned b' the discharge of a cracker while she was stooping to relight it. Destroyed a Screen Door.

Disbrow, tho gentleman who was in Plattsmouth for some timo in the interests of his cure for the liquor habit, is cow at Kearney making ar rangements for the establishment of a sanitarium at that place. Dr. Disbrow made many friends during his stay at this place, a cd they join in wishing him success in his undertaking. Speaking of the doctor and bis pro posed plans, the Kearney Hub says: "Articles of incorporation of 'The Disbrow Sanitarium company' were filed in the office of the county clerk Tuesdav afternoon, July 3, and will also be filed at once with the secretary of state. The purpose of the incorpor ators is the establishment of a sanitar ium in this city for the treatment of nervous diseases.and the incorporators are Dr. A. Disbrow, lato of Chicago, his wife, and Mrs. .loa M. Fisher. The incorporation is preliminary, and whether a great sanitarium shall be founded hero or located elsewhere de- Uends upon tho enterprise and public spirit of tho people of Kearney. "People in this city who have means to invest and who desire tho best pos- siblo form of businei-s investment, will be given an opportunity to subscribe to the capital stock; in view of the marvelous work that has boen done hero by Dr. Disbrow, the Hub is confi dent that the incorporation can and will be capitalized sufficiently to create one of the greatest sanitariums in this or any other country. "As tho Hub his said before. Dr. Disbrow came to Kearney by chance. His stay was unexpectedly prolonged. As a result ha lias formed so favorable an opinion of Kearney :is a clean, de lightful and orderly city, and is so greatly impressed with the advantages of climate and altitiule, that he be lieves Kearney is one of the few fa vored spots in this country for a sani tarium such as he proposes. Its ad vantages to Kearney, and its profitable ness to those who ruay become inter ested in it, certainly do not need to be impressed upon the people of this city."
