JANUAUY 31.1U02I VOL. XLVI NO. 82 NOT READY FOR TRIAL Defendants in the Celebrated Wrecking Case Given Continuance. DEFENDANTS ATTORNEY OUT OF THE CITY. City Clerk accepts Tax of Twenty Five Dollars This Morning. Yesterday afternoon warrants were issues for Nathan Grunberg, Harry Contor and William Warshow, the promoters of the wrecking gale, charg ing them with a violation of the Bill Poster's ordinance. The trio were taken before Judge Archer by the chief of police and invited to plead. Nathen stated that the other two were hired by him and that they had not been doing anything amiss. And that ho could not say whether he was guilty of violating the ordinance or not until he saw his attorney, who was in Omaha and would not return until evening, and he would like a continuance until today at 9 o'clock. City attorney Ramsey was pre sent and read the complaint to the court, urging the court that the matter ought to be disposed of at once. The court took a different view and remarked that the defend ant was entitled to have an attorney if he wanted one and fixed their bonds at $200.00 each, being S 100.00 on each count. Nathen went out and was gone for ji short 1timc when he returned 'J. "V? Leanord was with him, and the bond for their appearance was speedily fixed. Mr. Gering did not get back last evening and did not return on either No ( or 4 this morning. This morning the parties appeared before the Judge and on account of the absence of his attorney, Nathen again asked the court to continue the ease until he could get in com munication with his attorney. Both the city attorney, Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Tidd argued for immediate action on the part of the court. The Judge staled that he had always been in favor of a man having a fair trial, and it was the belief of the court that Nathen was not in a condition for a trial under the cireunstances. and he would continue the case until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The council for the city and for the exe cutive committee of the commercial club, then twisted that the reconi zance be renewed, and Nathen was instt u'.-ted to procure his men and his surety to appear at once and enter into another bond for his appearance Friday morning at 9 o'clock. There was a large crowd of merchants and How Many Overalls in Our , Corner Window? Guess or count them.

Nathen was told that there would be no further continuance of the case after tomorrow morning, and that he must be ready to proceed at that time. He promised that if Mr. Gering could not be reached and his attendance secured, that he would procure another attorney to take his case. It should be stated in this connection that the city clerk this morning excepted the proffered tax of $25.00 for the privilege of doing business in the city for a year. SOFT GRADES ON THE MILFORD LINE. Burlington New Grade Suffering Considerably from Wet Weather. New grades of the Milford line of the Burlington railroad are again causing trouble and men who operate trains over that part of the road are wondering how old these grades must get before settling will stop. The rainy weather of the fall soaked them and the freeze came and held the water in the high cnbankments. Snow fell on the sides. Now the snow has melted under the sunshine of the past week and the frost has slowly left the ground. With the leav ing of the frost the embankments have given away in places, sliding out and settling down. More dirt must be filled in places and more cinders packed on top of the dirt to hold the grade in place. Trainmen say in places the grade is much wider at the bottom than it was at first, this wid ening being caused by the grade set tling and the sides of the embank ments sliding down. When contractors were at work on the Milford line people who saw the quality of earth put into the grades predicted trouble. The soil is of such a character that wzter causes it to dissolve, or mix thoroughly. When dry it is hard and difficulty tornove. if "Was taken out offtit! , .Cuts, and dumped into the grades while very wet. When unloaded from the dump cars it fell into place in great chunks and crevasses were left between the clods or chunks, which did not fill with the smaller particules as it docs in many other kinds of soils. When water works into the grades the re sult is that the big chunks dissolve and run into the crevasses causing settling. Trackmen say that another season's hard work is ahead of them on the Milford line if heavy rains follow in the spring and summer. Some trouble is looked for on all railroad grades and a great deal of surfacing will be necessary, but the newer grades will cause most trouble.. Slate Journal. Like Our Looks. John Mylandcr and John Johnett, the gcntleitien from Ilodlridge, who were looking after Plattsmouth real estate yesterday, departed for their home this morning, iliey expressed themselves as well plesed with the town and surrounding country, and will invest in some acre tracts near the city. IRVING AT THE SHOPS Talks to the Men of That Rustling Industry During the Noon Hour. LISTENED TO VERY ATTENTIVELY Tells of the Assistance They Can be to the Business In terests of the City. Mr. Irving, who lectured at the Parmelc Thursday in"How to Make a Better Plattsmouth, 'in company with C. E. Wescott, Secretary of the Con mercial Club, and several members of the club visited the Burlington shops at 12:30 today and interviewed a number of the men at the plaining mill. Before addressing the men Mr. Irving met many of them person ally and was introduced by Mr. Wescott to William McCaully who said he had been in the employ of the company for 30 years and Val Burkel who had been in the company's service for 29 years, and many others whose term of service had been shorter. Mr. Irving spoke about fifteen min utes on his mission to. Plattsmouth, and informed the men of his lecture tonight and some of the lessons he hoped to teach. He told the men that he believed this town to be located beautifully so far as landscape was concerned, and touched on the needs of attention to our parks to make the town more inviting. The speaker also said that unless some thing was done to conserve the in dustrial interests of the city, we as citizens would not be able to main tain our schools and churches on ns high a plane of as they now are. He believed that the industrial interests of the citv were of first importance to our citizens, and that only as an industrial people would we accomplish anything worth while. That the United States Congress had recently enacted a statute es tablishing a conservation commis sion, in the interests of the smaller towns and cities of the country, to aid them in maintaining their status and prevent their undoing by the great cities of this country,and that it was the aim of the speaker to assist Plattsmouth, in acquiring in formation as to what are her needs. His lecture tonight would be along these lines, and Mr. Irving thought lie could make some valuable sug gestions to every citizen, who eared to attend. He told the men if they had not something more important on hand he would be pleased to see them at the Parmele tonight. The men listened with interest to his brief remarks, and Mr. Wescott having a few of the Booster buttons with him disposed of them. It had been intended to have some one ake the Buttons through tire shops and give each one desiring an opportunity to have one, but the lateness of nr rival prevented this. The buttons will be ready for distribution tonight at the opera house.S:45 is the hour for the lecture to begin. He Found It. The recovery of Mrs. Fitzgeralds' diamond studded crcseiit, which had lain unnoticed for days between two flagstones in the sidewalk in one of the busiest blocks in Broadway, recalls the exprriecce of a woman, who one evening last year, after the opera, went to one of the fashionable restau rants in a party of six. They oecu- j pied a table in the crowded room and J lingered over their supper till late. On i arriving at her home, the woman dis covered that a large diamond from jone of her rings had been lost. The j glove was searched in vain and then her husband hastened to the rest an- rant, which was nearly deserted, when he arrived there under the table ' where the party had been seated he j found the jewel. The recovery seemed remarkable fortunate, from the fact that the place had been swept in his absence. Exchange. FACTORIES ARE COMING Two Industries on the Road to Plattsmouth and More Coming HORSE COLLARS AND COTTON GLOVES. Will Employ Large NumbcrofMen and Women In the Production of Goods. President Falter of the Commer cial Club, saw W. II. Wright, a real estate man from Omaha yesterday who is interested with Dr. Todd in his invention, and Mr. Wright stated that he and his co-workers had just completed a sample collar, of the style and workmanship of the new patent, and that he and his people would be ready to meet the executive committee of the club next Monday, and talk over the proposition of putting a factory in here. The matter looks promising now for another industry. Mr Falter also received a letter today from C. M. Shultz, the man who has been agitating starting a factory for the manufactury of cotton gloves and mittens, and he is also ready to meet the executive committee of the club. This industry will cm ploy twelve people and as many sewing machines, and will also be operated by electric power. The factory will propably occupy the building next west of the M. E. Smith factory, as 'hat building is in shape to be rented. The owner wants six months rent in advance as he claims it will take about that to put the building in shape to be occupied by the glove plant. Mr. Shultz says that his people will not want to advance that amount, and it is possible that the commercial club will make sonic in quires about the matter. As an example of what tfye effect of these industries will be on the population of the city, Mr. Falter received a letter from a woman out west inquiring for a house worth $550.00 which she desired to pur chase. The lady says that she has herself and two daughters, living on a farm, that the work is too hard for them, that she has heard that the M. K. Smith people have a factory here, and she is desirous of coming here to give her daughters a chance to work in the factory. President Fuller says that all we have to do to get more people in the city is to ar range for their employment, and let it be known tthnt here is something here for them to do and they will come. Joins the Navy. ' The many friends of Cedrie Eaton will be pleased to know that he has landed safe in San Francisco, Cali., where he will ship in the United States navy.

Contracts Fatal Disease While In a Kansas City Hospital. Something about a year ago Will C. Isreal, editor of the paper at Bekle man, was taken ill and was Bent to a hospital in Kansas City. The nurse was very skillful and is a short time had Mr. Isreal entirely cured of his trouble. However she was not so careful of her treatment but that the editor contracted a disease that proved of such a serious nature that he felt that it would lie necessary to have the nurse with him all the time.. The only cure for it was a wedding license and as a result the nurse is now Mrs. Isreal and while the di sease is still with him there is no danger of it proving fatal. News paper editors are liable to fall in love the same as any other human being, and as a general thing they draw a prine. . Erect The Smoke Stack. Joseph McMakin with his corteric of workman took down the old Biuoke stack which has done service at the Coates block for a numlcr of years, and placed the new one in place which is.forty feet long. The old stack was slightly tapering the larger end being at the bottom. When ordering " a new one the measurements for the new stack was taken from the roof of the higher portion of the building which when the workmen went to put it up proved to be much smaller than the bottom of the old one,. This had to be enlarged in order that it might fit. For this cause it required a longer time to complete the work. The work was well done, 'and proves the motto, of the MnMaken Co," When you don't trade with us we both lose." ' Returns a Well Man. J. W.
