- 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. Roy Mc
Kinney is circulating a paper for the
signatures of the merchants, and those
who sign it agree not to sell cigarettes
and to use all possible means to further
the good cause. Several have already
signed such an agreement. The boys
and the business men as well are to be
commended.
D. K. Thompson llonatea SSO.
D. E. Thompson of Lincoln sent in
$50 this morning to be applied on the
library fund. This is the largest do
nation from a non-resident and the
city will appreciate his generous con
tribution. Mr. Thompson is noted for
his generosity for such enterprises and
it is fortunate for Plattsmouth that he
remembered his former home. '
SUBMITS PLANS OP AVOKK.
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.

good enough to sell over a saloon bar.

A VERY QUIET FOURTH.
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.
Burl Chandler celebrated tho Fourth
yesterday by taking on a little too
much fire water. Uoon the complaint
of bis mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennie
Greeson, he w-as brought before Judge
Archer this morning to answer to the
charge of disturbing the iwace by
using obscene ai.d profane language
and conducting himself in a vicious
and offensive manner by tearing off
and breaking up a tereen door, which
evidently got in his way while he whs
celebrating. lie entered a plea of
guilty and was accordingly assessed
the sum of $10 and costs. Burl did not
have the cash at the time, and will be

Sprarfish and Sheridan, Wyo., at rate
of one fare plus for tho round trip.
Tickets will bo good to return until
October 31 the longest return limit

Unless you have been there you have
no idea of the attractions of the Black
Hills resorts. At Hot Springs, for in
stance, you can bathe, ride, driee,
bicycle and play golf all day and every
daj. The pure air and the wonderful
healing waters will rejuvenate and
strengthen you as nothing else can do.
Sylvan lake, besides being the pret
tiest spot in the Black Hills, is one
of the most popular. Go there if you
would escape midsummer's heat. The
railroad ride to Speartish is one of the
experiences of a lifetime. Thousands
make the trip every year. Spearfi-h
canon, through which the railroad
runs, is worthy of comparison with the
finest scenery in Colorado.

WILL Ol'EX A SAN ITA1S I U3I.
Dr. A. Dlobrow Decides to Start An In
stltation of This Kind at Kearney.
Dr. A. 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."
