IS NEW;. SLOGAN SELECTED
Chosen By the
STUDENT OF THE PLATTSMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL
IS
Though Sick In Bed,
After a contest lasting a little
over a week, the Plattsmouth commer
cial Club Board of Directors met last
night to open the letters sent in con
taining the selections made in the
contest for a slogan to be used by the
club in its campaign for business the
coming year.
The method used to make the
selection was as follows: President
Falter opened the letters and read
the selections, each member of the
board writing down the suggestion as
it was read. No one but the pre
sident knew the names of the contest
ants and he did not vote. After the
suggestions had all been read, and
there were 146 of them, the committee

a
One little woman and four strong
men down on their hands and feet
scrambling on the ground.
They were scrambling for a $10 bill
it developed. The little woman got it.
The little woman was the Voountecr
of America officer who keeps her
vigil at, the northwest corner of fif
teenth and Farnam stmt J.'
Two elegantly dressed woman had
passed . that cornor. She observed
that one dropped a bill on the street
unconsciously. She ran to pick it up.
Meantime four men passed and they
spied the money; they had not seen
the woman drop it. With one move
they and the Volunteer woman made
a dive for the money. When the little
woman emerged from the group with
the money in her hand she ran and
overtook the two elegantly-dressed
women. Tapping one on the arm,she
handed her the bill, saying
"I saw you drop it."
"Give it here," snapped the fashion
ably dressed woman,but that was all
she said.
The little woman of the Voounteers
returned to her post.
"Gee, the most that woman could
have done was to say 'thank you,'
remarked a man who had witnessed
the affair.
"If she'd been one of the boys she'd
given the little woman a good sized tip"

then proceeded to go over the list and
selected the one which they thought
was the best. They took three hours
for the work and after much voting
and a great deal of discussion the
following was selected :
"See Plattsmouth Succeed"
After the selection had been made
the President then announced the
name of Connie Schlater as the winner
of the prize, which is ten dollars in
cash.
It gives us considerable satisfactoin
to know that a member of the Platts
mouth high school has been the winner
of the prize in a contest where one
hundred and forty six suggestions
were made. Connie Schlater is a lad
Before Insanity Board.
The insanity commissioners were
engaged in the hearing of a complaint
against a young man by the name of
Kiscr, residing near .Murray this
afternoon The young man was on the
stand for a time but gave no indication
of anything wrong with his mental
balance.
Jacob Lhones who is treasurer of
the school board was sworn and stated
that he was afraid to send his children
to school because the young man was
reported to carry a gun. He was
at school last week, and the
teacher was afraid to keep the school
open this week on account of his
actions. The accused is about twenty
one years of age, he has been making
purchases of poultry and horses in the
neighborhood, but never returncs to
receive the stock or pay the money.
It was reported that he had threatened
the teacher Miss Marie Bookmeyer,
and that others were afraid to have
their children meet the Recused on
the highway to and from school.
Later: After hearing the evidence
of several witnesses among whom
were the parents of the un.
fortunate young man, the
order was made that he should bo
restrained at the asylum at Lincoln.
It was developed in the testimony
that young Riser, after a turn of
sickness had threatened his own life,
and had committed many irrational
acts.
In Supreme Court.
W. C. Ramsey was called to Lincoln
last evening to assist the Attorney
General in the trail of the State vs
Osenkop before the Supreme court
today. Osenkop is the man who
murdered Charles Byrnes at Eagle a
year ago last August, and was convict
ed of manslaughter by a jury in the
district court here, and by Judge Travis
sentenced to serve ten years at hard
labor at the penitentiary.
It is to be hoped that no error
will be found in the proceedings as the
trail developed that defendant deserved
the punishment assigned him. Mathcw
Gering will represent the defendant
l)cfore the Bupreme court.

JUMPED
THE TRACK
Telephone Poles Become
Mixed Up With Nearly
Serious Results.
SCATTERED ALONG TRACK
SOME .DISTANCE.
Switches Broken and Other
Damage Done Though not of
Serious Nature.
No 77 freight which is due through
Plattsmouth about 1 A.M. went
through this morning rather late.
A car load of telephone poles, on tho
train, was dumped out in the yards by
somo hook or crook. The poles were
scattered from tho new sewer to tho
switch shanty north of the station.
The ties in the false work over the
sewer "were cut into, and tho two
switches wcro broken off and the
ground much indicated that the load
of poles had been off the track for
some rods, but jumped back on again
at the frog south of tho station.
The greater part of tho load was
left just south of the subway, some of
the poles falling into it and completely
blocking it for a time.
It is supposed tho wires which hold
tho standards together were not
securely fastened and had come loose,
allowing the ends of some of the poles
to drop down, this threw the car off
tho track and jolting along over the
rough ties, threw the entire load out.
The principal damage was the
breaking of the switches, which the
company will soon have in repair.
Accepts Good Position.
Dr. A. P. Barnes, who has been
in the restaurant business in the
Wctencamp block for sometime, has
accepted a good pos'tion with tho
Council Bluffs Remedy Company, and
will close out his business here and go
on the road. Dr. Barnes has had the "
matter under consideration for a year
or more, but would not make the
deal with the company until he was
sure the remedies would elfect the
cures they were intended for.
The remedies are for stock, and the
Dr. will bo privileged to travel either
with single or double rig, or by train
as he sees fit. He has for his territory,
Cass and Otoe counties, two of the
the best live stock counties in the state.
His hotel fixtures will bo stored for
the present until otherwise disposed of.
C. P.Jeffordi Here.
C. P. Jeffords, of Broken Bow, who
