Mrs. Meisinger
Gains Fame
Captures Negro Burglar and
Holds Him Until Help
Arrives.
A dispatch to the World Herald from
Papillion, Neb., gives an interesting
account of tho capture of a burglar
who had stolen two pocket books con
taining about $51 in money from the
home of Henry Meisinger a well known
farmer livng near there.
Mrs. Meisinger had noticed a negro
hurrying from the house and suspect
ing something wrong had secured a re
volver and compelled hia return holding
him at the Doint ofthe eun until her
husdand and boys could render assi;
tance. The negro loudly protested he
had done nothing and a search uncover
ed but 10 cents in his clothes. How
ever a search at the point to which he
had retreated brought to light the two
pocket books which he had hastily
thrown in the weeds. The colored
gentleman was turned over to the
sheriff of Sarpy county and will doubt
less get a term in the pen.

Evangelist Walter K. Williams of Lin
coln, assisted by Rev. Ruteledge and

The deceased had been a true Chris
tian and an active worker in church
for the past twenty years.
Rev. Williams' sermon touched upon
the constant Christian life and upright
character of the deceased brother and
the bereaved relatives would derive
great comfort from the knowledge that
thslored one had gone to a better le
ward. He was born October 5, 1361, east of
Louisville, Neb., where he spent his
youthful days and grew to manhood
and resided at the time of his death, ;

zen. Rain Boom Corn Crop.
Louis II. Heil was in the the city
Tuesday to attend to some trading and
settle up for some corn he had recently
delivered at Lullom. Louis reports a

was needed worse than most people
imagine.

"Where Quality Counts.
THE HOME OF SATISFACTION.
Up Against (he Real Thing. !
Gel Morgan, democratic candidate'
for county clerk, made a trip out to !
Cedar Creek yesterday for the purpose
of posting up a few election notice?,
and incidently shaking hands with some j
of the voters in that neighborhood.
Clel is a nice, easy-going fellow but
he is up against a hustler in George
Lushinsky whose great popularity with
all classes makes him a sure winner.
Then he is on the right ticket also which
makes assurance doubly sure. Here's
to Lushinsky, our next county clerk of
Cass county.

Candy Hungry Burglars.
Upon opening their store Monday
morning J. W. Larkin & Co., found
that some time since closing Saturday
night burglars had paid them a visit.
Entrance was effected to the store room
through a rear window. So far as has
been determined nothing vas molested
molested excepting a little candy, pro
bably ten or fifteen pounds, and this
leads to the supposition that perhaps it
was the work of local talent.
A window near the north end on the
west side was broken open first, but
iron bars inside prevented an entrance.
The elevator to tic second story and
basement of the hardware store, which
is located in the angle between the
Larkin store proper and the store room
was raised on a level with another win
dow and another glass broken and an
entrance effected.
Fine job work done at this office.

Conference of
Forest Schools
The heads of all universities, colleges
and schools in which technical forestry
is taught have been invited by Gifford
Pinchot, United States Forester, to at
tend or send a representative to the
Congress on Education in Forestry
which will bo held in Washington in
December. In his letter of invitation
the Forester says:
"I believe that a conference of the
representatives of forest schools and
universities and colleges in which for
estry is taught might be made of great
value to the general progress in for
estry in the United States, as well as
to the institutions which teach
forestry, and to the Forest Service,
which employs so many of their grad
uates, and which is vitally interested
in the best training of foresters. Such
a conference might well consider the
objects and methods of forest instruc
tion, the organization and standards of
educational work in the field of forestry
the coordination of the work of differ
ent institutions, and the needs of the
Forest Service and other employers of
forest graduates.
"I hope you will find it possible to be
present or send a delegate to a confer
ence of this kind, which, with the con
currence of the institutions concerned,
will be held in Washington December
30 and 31, 1909."
From all over the country the plan
has met with enthusiastic support, let
ters of acceptance having been received
from nearly every institution to which
the invitation has been sent.
New Reading Room
A recent by-law of the Christian
Science Church requires that reading
rooms shall not be conducted in con
nection with the office of a practitioner.
Heretofore the reading room of the
Second Church of Cnrist, Scientist, has
been located in the rooms of Mrs. Au
rclia Hilton, the practitioner, in the
Coates block. In conformity with the
new ruling, however, another room has
been secured, and the reading room has
been removed. The new room is also
in the Coates block, just at the head of
the stairs to the west, formerly oc
cupied by Earl Wescott, where the pub
lic is cordially invited to call any after
noon between the hours of 2 and 4 for
information or literature relative to
Christian Science.

Doing
Their Duty
Scores of Plattsmouth Readers
Are Learning the Duty o
the Kidneys.
To filter the blood is the kidney
duty.
When they fail to do this the kidneys
are sick.
Backache and many kidney ills follow;
Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure them all. Plattsmouth
people endorse our claim.
P. M. Lindsay, Marble Street, Platts
mouth, Nebr., says: "Off and on for
bout two years I suffered from pains
in my back and while at work, a dull,
steady ache through my loins greatly
disturbed me. I had reason to believe
that tho trouble was caused by disor
dered kidneys but I was unable to find
relief from tho remedies I used. Fi
nally Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my attention and I procured a box
at Gering & Co's. drug store. The
results that followed their use showed
that I had at last found the right rem
edy for my trouble and thus encour
aged, I obtained another box. In re
turn for tho great improvement Doan's
Kidney Pills have made, I heartily en
dorse them."

Runaway Boy Captured.
"Jack" Denson picked up Henry Mil
ler, a youthful runaway from his home
in South Omaha, this forenoon. He is
a son of William Miller, formerly a
resident of this city. He left his home
some time Monday but was apprehend
ed by his father in Omaha yesterday
and placed upon a street car and start
ed home. However, he concluded that
he was not quite ready to return to the
parental domicile, and leaving te car
started south, arriving in this city this
morning. Upon learning that ho did
not arriva-home his father sent word
to the officers of this city and Deputy
Manspeaker and Policeman Trout got a
team and started to look up the young
ster. Shortly afterward, however,
Constable Denson picked him up on the
street and lodged him in jail awaiting
further instructions.
Cut tho Weeds.
What has become of the agitation in
regard to the destruction of weeds.
Present appearances of the streets for
blocks in many different parts of the
city are rendered unsightly by a tall
growth of rank weeds which are a men
ace to the health conditions of the neigh
borhood. There is a stretch of tall
weed3 extending from ihe city tool
house over the sewer entrance to the
bridge a few hundred yards distant so
high the houses cannot be seen on the
west side of Chicago avenue. Someone
should, get after these and cut them
down.
