As the year VMM) fades into the past, and 1901 peeps over the horiz n, the
people of Tl UUmouth can lo k hack with feelings or minelod pride and eolf
contr.atululion uuon a record of building and other improvements that has
had no equnl in any period of twelve months for the pat ten years.
Tt id probably no exaggeration to eay that not ouo-third of tho citizens of
PlJftismoulli have any realization of tho vast sum that has been i xpended in
build i iii? nnd improvements during the year just closing, and will be most
agreoably surprised when they learn that it will aggregate fully 8125,000.
The ouildinns have not been built syasmodically. as in tho "boom" days-
buildings mount only to 'ast temporarily but in each instance they have been
modern, eub,tantial and elegant, and will ia after years serve as monuments
to the enterprise of the men who 8 freely expended their money in their
construction.
No cty of near the population of PlatUmouth in tho entire state can make
as coditablo a showing, a fact which goes to rrove hat tne citizen ol tnis
city, who are familiar with it possibilities, not only have undoubted faith in
its future, but thru they are an enterprising and public-spirited class of
people. -
Of course, everybody realizes that the new Parmole theatre involved the
-greatest expenditure of capital, and is probably tho most important of tho 1m
movements maie Jurinff tho y.mr. Its construction involved an outlay of
approximately $30,000.
The hat.dsomj new public library builuing n also a welcome ana import
ant addition to tho evidences of this city's progress and enterpi ise, as is also
tho .ow Methodist church, upon which work is being rapidly pushed.
A representative of THE News has taken tho trouble to thoroughly it.ve-
tigate the improvements mndo during tho year, and thoso contemplated for
the imraedi ite future, and below will be found a comprehensive review of tho
earna eo far as could be learned. A perusal of the same will b of unbounded
benefit to anyone interested ia the material welfare of the city.

"The PBrniele Thetr .
E ghteen years ago, the 28th of No
vember, the Waterman opera house
was opened to the public, and for a few
years the people of l'lattsmouth enjoyed
me of the best theatrical perlorm-
ances on the roau. uui on juiy oi.
able for tableaux. Six cosy dr.'f-nng
rooms, each equipped with steam beat.
electric lights, city water and electric
call bells, are located uuder the stage
The opera chairs ate of the latest
stylo, and the rows are a sufficient dis
tance apart to aford comfort and ease
1891, the handsome playhouse was de- J to the patrons, an advantage over most
stroyed by fire. Several attampts
wero made to organize a stock com
pany and rebuild the structure,but the!
plans never materialized. For a per
iod if nine years l'lattsmouth theatre
goers have had no opportunity of wit
nessing first-class attractions, without
going to Omaha or some other city,and
this fact has been a 6ourco of keen dis
appointment to the citizens.
Early Inst spring, however, the
Messrs. Charles C. and Thomas E
Parmele. two of the city's leading cap
italists, conceived the idea of building
a oew theatre, and, unlike other plans,
apparently founded only upon wind.
these gentlemen at once proceeded to
put into execution what others had
dreamed oi aoing.
Considerable trouble was at first ex
perienced in securing a suitable loca-
... tion for the proposed edifice, the own
ers of the property placing an un
reasonable value thoreon. Finally
this difficulty was overcome, arrange
ments made, contracts let and active
work on "The Parmele" was com
menced on May 7.
The work of construction has been
cloB"ly watched by the people of this

One cannot thoroughly appreciate
the beauty of the interior furnishings
of ''lhe I'arm'ile" without visiting
the place, but a brief description trill
perhaps not be amiss. The walls and
ceilings are of terra cotta color, hand
somely decorated and frescoed, while
the balcony and boxes there being
four of the lattor are trimmed with
white ntaff work of elegant design. The
total seating capneity of tho house is
entirely adequate for the requirements
of a town of this size, and so conven
iently arranged are tho seats that a

theatres, where tbe seals are crowdi d
together. The entire lower floor is
covered with elegant and costly
Brussels cat pets, and a toilet room,
in charge of a lady attendant, is a con
venience that will be greatly appreci
ated by the fairer sex.
Tho total cost of the theatre will bo
in the neighborhood of $30,000..
Metbodlnt Episcopal Church.
Within the next few weeks the new
Methodist Episcopal church, at the
corner of Main and Seventh streets,
will be ready for occupancy, although
the interior furnishings will probably
bo deferred uutil next year. Work
was commenced on this building last
June, but owing to a delay in confirm
ing the sale of the old church property,
construction of the new pltco of wor
ship was temporarily postponed. Now,
however, work has been resumed and
will be continued until the structure is
enclosed, as there is already sufficient
money on hand for this purpose. The
now church will bo of brick, and will
hne a sealing capacity of 400 in the
main auditorium. It will bo both
handsom nnd substantial, and will be
thoroughly equipped with all modern
conveniences. The estimated cost of
the building, when completed and fur
nished, will bo about $7,00).
Nw High School Knllrling.
While commenced last fall, tho new
High school building was not com
pleted untii this spring, and is there
fore entitled to recognition as one of
the building improvements of thi9
year. Tho new school is one of the
very best of its siz ? in the state, mid
was built at a cost of about $7,000.
Public Library.
Probably no building in l'lattsmouth
is a source of greater pride to the. cit
izens than the handsome little cottage
tbe handsomest business blocks in the
city. Over a ton of plate glass was
used in making an attractive iront,ana
the building has been thoroughly re
modeled and refitted. The improve
ments will coot over 82,000.
l'lattsmouth Telephone Company.

last j ear, the Plattsmouth Telephone
company has made wonderful progress.

with exchanges at several places.
Within the past yoar this company has
put up 150 miles of copper metalio cir
cuit, and are now putting in at all toll
stations a specially constructed long
distance telephone, designed by T. H.
Eying, and manufactured by an east
ern firm, which will very materially
improve tho service.- The company
has exponded some $50,000 since its
organization.
Wttter Company Improvement.
Ten thousand dollars will represent
tho amount of money expended by the
PiHttsmouth Water company, when
the improvements now In course of
construction are completed. In order
to furnish pure, clear water to its
patrons, the company has found it
necessary to no longer depend updn
the Platte river for its supply of water.
It was decided to 6lnk four wells to a
depth of three or four hundred feet,
and put in an air compression system
to force the water into the settling
basins. Accordingly, a few days ago,
W. A. Dowe of Salem, O., commenced
tho work of boring the wells, and in a
short time Superintendent Pollock will
go to Cleveland, O., to purchase the
air compress-ion system. The company
also proposes to thoroughly overhaul
the pump house and machinery, and
tho grounds will be improved and
beautified.
Will Hntld a Fine Block.
In a faw days ground will be broken
for the foundation of the new business
block, to bo erec ted at the corner of
Main and Fourth streets, by the Johr.
Gund Brewing company of La Crosse,
Wis. The new structure will be one of
the handsomest in the city, and will
bo built of either white or red pressed
brick. It will be 124 foet long and two
stories hi?h. equipped in tne most
modern style, with s-e in heat, electric
lights, tiled floors, etc. The lower
room will be fittei for commercial pur
poses nnd the upstairs for'offices. The
building will cost between $12,000 and
$15,000.

From Monday's Daily. .
James HicKeon, sr., met. with an ac
cident about 11:30 this morning' which
may have futal results. Be and three
other men were engaged boring a well
near the pump house. They were
working with n large steam drill,
operated by a traction engine. In Borne
mannor the drill got caugbt,and while
they were trying to pull it out Mr.
Hickson noticed that the steam was
going down. He proceeded to shovel
some coal into the furnace, and while
doing so the derrick broke a portion
of it striking Mr. nickson equarely on
the head and knocking him tenseless.
Ills son, James, who was standing near
by, was also knocked down, but not
injured. ' - . "
The unfortunate mm was quickly
picked up and taken into the pump
house and Drs. Livingston and Cook
summoned. It wi s found that his
skull was fractured and that the Hash
and skin from his eyes to the back of
his head wns b idly bruised. Soon after
the accident Mr. IIicKsoi was taken to
his home, where tho physicians re
moved a imrtion of tbe skull and as

Mr. Hickson suffered a fracture of

Missouri Pacific Koad Asks For a Rehear

From Saturday's Daily. .
Three times has the suit of the Mis-
soar i Pacific railroad company against
Willirm K. Fox, adminstrator of the
estate of Amos Thompson, deceased.
been reviewed in one phase or an-
othar by the supreme court, says the
Lincoln News. The last decision was
in favor of Mr. Fox, and today the road
demands the right to a rehearing. A
brief in support of t-uch motion has
been filed.
The suit is a familiar one to tbe
rending public informed on passing
events in Nebraska. Thompson was
killed while making a coupling on a
Missouri Pacific train at Union in 1892.
The first and third times the suit for
damages against tbe road was tried
before Judge Basil S. Ramsey and the
second time it was tried before Judgo
John-S. Stull.
Attorneys for the road take excep
tions to the ruling of the court as ex
Dressed in the first, thir d and twenty-
fifth sections of the sxllabus of its
opinion. They contend that these are
coatrary to the evidence adduced in
the' trials according to tho records, and
contrary to former rulings of the
couit. For these reasons a rehearing
is demanded.
