Change in
Business
Oliver H. Dovey Rethes from
Firm of E. G. Dovey & Son.
The change which has lately taken
place in the firm of E. G. Dovey &
Son is the first one in 33 years. Geo.
E. Dovev and Horatio N. Dovey, now
have control of the business. The busi-
ness really was established almost sixty
years ago in the south by Henry Ami
son and E. G. Dovey where they built
up a splendid trade, doing a large busi
ness in their line with New Orleans.
The business continued to prosper until
the war broke out when the firm sold
out and removed to Cincinnatti. After
a residence there of about two years it
was decided to find a new location and
through the inducements of a friend,
Jas. E. Doom, it was decided that Mr.
Dovey should go out to Nebraska Ter
ritory and look over the ground by what
prospects were olTerod to see what
was then a wild and wooley west.
Looking over the prospect and de
ciding Plattsmouth was a good point
because of the out fitting business, Mr.
Dovey decided to buy the business of
Davis & Argyle, these doing business
in a brick building on lower Main
street. This was done in the fall of j
latji, air. uovey returning iu vmcm- ,
atti. In the spring following he re- J
turned to the west and began building i
the business up under the old firm '
name of Amison & Dovey. This firm j
rontinupd in Lusiness until the SDrinir '
of 1863, when Mr. Amison retired. Mr. :
E G. Dovey then had control of the
business until the spring of 1876 when I
he admitted to the firm his son, Geo. i
E. Dovey, who had just turned twenty-
one years and gave him full and com-!
plete charge of the firm's affairs, j
A taut two vein afterward the busi- i
ness was moved up the street to its
present locution, occupying a brick
building about GO feet long In 186
the dry goodi department was mOvCd"
into the building east of the former
location, which the firm built that
year.
The firm has numbered among its
customers some oi the best larmers
and citizens of the county and retained
many of them for years by the right
kind of treatment and a square doal
through the hard year of hail storms
and grasshoppers a3 well as the more
prosperous years,and as the only change
now is the retirement of Mr. Oliver II.
Dovey, the management remaining
with Mr. George E. Dovey as of old, it
is but fair to assume that the firm will
not only retain all its own friends but
as the years advance will make many
new ones. Thirty-three years of fair
and 8'puare dealing has made a reputa
tion not only throughout the county
but in contiguiui territory, and the
News-Herald but voices the general
giwd wishes of the community when it
hopes that the next 33 years will be as
prosperous for E. G. Dovey & Son as
has the past.

About Thoie Majesties.
Attention has baen called recently to
the purchase by John Bauer, the hard
ware man, of a carload of Majestic
ranges. Mr. Bauer now announces
that commencing today and lasting one
week, Mr. Smith direct from the Ma
jestic factory at St. Louis, will con
duct an exhibition at his store. Room
has been made in the rear of the store
and one of these famous stoves set up,
and Mr. Smith will demonstrate to all
comers that the Majestic is just what
his company clains for it -the best
range tor ail purposes inai can uc
built.
Mr. Bauer claims that the life of a
range depends upon the material from
which it is built. Charcoal iron by
actual test has been proven to resist
rust, heat and crystalization 300 per
cent greater than steel, and Majestic
range bodies are all made of charcoal
iron. He is very enthusiastic about the
Majestic and cordially invites every
resident of Cass county to call at his
store this week and witness the demon
stration to be made by Mr. Smith, con
fident that afterward all will agree
with him that no better range is built.

this
For nearly two jcars she lllled i
position while the writer was:
county Judge. Her work and sen-
lees ns clerk of the county court were
so highly appreciated and so val
uable that sho continued in this re
sponsible position during four years
I with Judge George M. Spurloi k, and
during four years with Judge J. E.
Douglass, making altogether nearly
ten consecutive years. After leaving
this position she became bookkeeper
for the Bank of Cass County, where
she remained for three ysars, and
until she and her daughter Beatrice
removed to Lincoln, Neb., In Septem
ber, 1907.
At Uucoln she was In the employ
of Woods B ros.' Investment com
pany as bookkeeper and accountant,
which position she held until stricken
with the malady which caused her
death.
Some months previous to her last
Illness she was operated upon for a
supposed enncerous affection, and for
a time the operation was believed to
have eradicated the disease. But
about three months ago tho malady
returned and she was again taken
to Emmanuel hospital in Omaha.
There she received the most careful
attention of the trained nurses and
the untiling efforts of Bis. T. P. and
J. S. Livingston of Plattsmouth, and
of Dr. Byron B. Davis of Omaha. But
the romblned efforts of these able
and faithful physicians and surgeons
and the tender care and labor of
faithful nurses could not stay the
touch of death.
Filneral services were held at 2:30
p. in., Nednesaay, September ii,
1909, at the large nnd commodious
undertaking establishment of Arthur
Jackson In Omaha. Mr. Jackson and
wlfo had been valued and Intimate
friends of deceased during her resi
dence at Plattsmouth. When she
finally realized that no hope existed
for her recovery and that death was
inevitable within a short time, she
carefully arranged nil her business
matters, gave directions for funeral
services nnd arrangements, selecting
the place, the minister, the choir
and musical selections. A large
number of friends attended the serv
ices many from Plattsmouth,
Weeping Water and a number from
Lincoln.
The beautiful casket was sur
rounded and covered "with no less
beautiful wreaths nnd flowers, thus
attesting the love nnd high respect
of relatives and the many friends for
her, who had gone.
Rev. Dr. J. T. Baird of Platts
mouth, her old pastor, conducted the
services. His nddress was able and
eloquent and brought many to tears
In his touching reference to the high
character, many virtues and beauti
ful Christian life of deceased.
A quartet, selected by deceased,
consisting of Mrs. E. II. Wescott,
Mis. Everett Eaton and B. A. McEl
wain, all of Plattsmouth, and Arthur
Jackson of Omaha, most beautifully,
torn liingly nnd tenderly rendered the
following, especially selected by de
ceased: "Savior, Comfort Me,"
".)e:,us, Savior, Pilot Me," nnd "Sun
of My Soul."
Mrs. Lillian K. Hasse was a woman
of exceptionally strong intellect and
analytical mind. Her training in
girlhood, while attending Mount
Uni. n college, laid the foundation
for success in her chosen life work.
.The records sho kept and made dur
ing nearly ten years of faithful work
whil'J clerk of the county court of
('as:-- county. Neb., will long remain
a iM inument to her exceptional abil
ity end skill. Of a most genial,

Will Build
New Sewer
Burlington Will Replace Old
Wooden Sewer Under Track
with Concrete.
For years past during the high water
season more or less contention has ex
isted between the city and the Burling
ton railroad over the main Bewerof the
city where it runs under the railroad
before emptying into the river. The
material used in the construction at
this point is of wood and iron.and from
the fact that during high water periods
the capacity has been limited, resulting
in bad overflows, tho city has contended
that the reason was a faulty construc
tion. As the Burlington under the law is
required to maintain the sewer on its
own property, it has decided to put an
end to the controversy and the latter
part of the week a gang of cement
men was put to ' work to make the
necessary changes. The new work will
be entirely of cement and will cost ap
proximately $10,000. It is estimated
that about six months will bo required
to complete the work.

The Greatest Display of Millin
ery Ever Opened in
Plattsmouth.
M. Fanger will open and have on
display on next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the largest, finest and most
up-to-date display of millinery goods,
ever shown to the ladies of Cass county.
Mr. Fanger has always used great
efforts to please his lady patrons in
stylish millinery goods, and every one
who has visited his store knows that
each succeeding season he has more
than held good in this respect. This,
line of millinery goods has been select
ed with only one idea in view, and that
is to please his former patrons and all
those who desire the latest and most
up-to-date styles in hats and bonnets,
and all other lines of millinery goods.
The fact is, Mr. Fangcr'a stock of such
goods is very large, and in his buying
he purchases for two establishments,
one here and at Omaha, and he has the
advantage over other small concerns of
getting his goods cheaper from the.
wholesale houses than the others, be
cause ho buys in greater quantities.
I This is easy enough to understand why
Mr. Fanger has the confidence of the
ladies of Plattsmouth and vicinity and
why his goods prove the best in their
line. Fangcr'a department store is
known all over Cass county, and the
ladies especially know that when he
advertises a fine display, the good will
be there in great variety. Remember
the dates of this great display Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, September
30, October 1 and 2. Don't fail to be
there on one of those dates and order
what you want. There will be a great
rush, and milliners will have to have
time to trim what you order. And we
want to say that Mr. Fanger has em
ployed as head milliner an expert, and.
one right up-to-date with her work.
Takes Short Route.
In county court Friday morning the
petition of Elizabeth Kuene was heard
praying that general administration of
the estate of Gustave Kuene be dispen
sed with and that a decree of heirship
be entered without the further expend
iture of time or money, and same was
ordered. This is the estate of the
young German who was drowned in the
river a short time ao, and consists of
thirteen acres of real estate and a.
small amount of personal property.
If you need a range let us show ytm
