Steele of Avoca While In , toxicated Shoots His Friend Charles Martin- j Chas. Steele is in jail and Chas. Mar tin, his friend, is in the hospital at Om aha with a bullet in his hip, all the re sult of too much booze. The men had ' gone to Jens Rasmussen's place, a mile and a htlf west of Avoca, Sunday i afternoon, where they proceeded to fill up and as a result became quarrelsome. I About six o'clock as Steele was stand ing inside of the building Martin is said to have thrown rocks at him and re ; fused to desist when told to do so. j Steele, it is alleged, thereupon seized a rille and fired upon Martin, the bullet entering his hip and lodging. Steele j immediately went to Avoca and sur ! rended to Constable Bogard who in ; turn notified Sheriff Quinton and the latter left at once for Avoca and rej ! turned with his prisoner who is now in jail. The rille used in the shooting was a 22, the property of Rasmussen. Dr. Brendel, who was summoned to Martin's aid was unable to find the bullet and had the wounded man taken j to a hospital at Omaha Monday morn ing. It is said that Steele and Martin were old time friends, coming to Ne- j braska from North Carolina five years ago and so far as could be learned no former trouble existed between the j men. "Martin will not prosecute me," said Steele, when talking about his j rasn act with the sheriff. Whether or not Martin will feel like forgiving the IlUb J11U1 bill TT 111 IVVI IVfllllll man who shot him remains to be seen. In the meantime Steele will remain a guest of the county for some time. To the Public. I wish to thank the public for the liberal patronage, which greeted the opening nigh: of the Majestic theatre, under my management. My desire is to make the Majestic a home theatre, and the money paid out for its main tenance will remain right here in Platts mouth with the exception of that por tion paid for film rental, the motion pictures will be of the very best possi ble to secure. My pianist and violinist are Plattsmouth girls (the Misses Mild red and Amy Cook,) and render music well worth hearing. The stage is being enlarged suffici ently to admit of properly putting on song productions, sketches, ect., and these will be produced with home talent as far as possible. Prof. Austin. For Sale.

V The Good Work Has Begun Work on Street Lighting System is Doing Pushed as Vigor ously as Possible. Work began on the street lighting system this morning and in all prob ably in ten days some of the lights will be in operation.

Efforts will be made on the part of the comoany to have the system com pleted and all lights in service by Christmas.

She spoke in this city about one year ago. Several times she swept her audience into applause at some telling shot against the liquor traffic, or elicited occasional laughter by a uniquo illustration or curious character ization. Mrs. Armour styled the picture she drew of states falling one after another before the ribbon a vision given her by God, not a dream.

One of the new things which may bo seen in all the public school buildings in South Omaha is an automatic drink ing fountain for the use of students. The fountain is so arranged that it will be impossible for one child to pass contagion from lip to lip as in the case of the old drinking cup. The cups carried in the children's desks arc quite as apt to become unsanitary as the drinking cup used by all. Tho authorities arc more than usually vigilent owing to the prevalence of diphtheria and the dangers of anterior polemio mylitis. We are delighted to say that the automatic drinking fountains have been placed in the Plattsmouth public school buildings. '""I'T'lirM 1 h imn itvuii utr a. nari t $18 to $30. 310 to $30.
