Death of Robert J. Vass.
Robert J. Vass died at his home in
the 4th ward at 1 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, after an illness of several
years from pulmonary trouble.
Decedent was a native of West Vir
ginia, in which state he was born
thirty-nine years ago, coming to
Plattsmouth with his parents, the
late W. T. Vass and wife, when but
four years of age. He was admitted
to the bar a number of years ago but
never practiced law a great deal. He
was a most exemplary citizen, and
formerly took an active interest in
public affairs, but the last few years
of his life were devoted to the study
of Christian Science, of which he was
an ardent disciple.
The surviving members of the fam
ily are three sisters and a brother:
Mrs. W. A. Keithley and Miss Nannie
Vass, who reside in the Indian Ter
ritory, Mrs. Mattie Williams of
Plattsmouth, and George W. Vass of

The following tip, says an exchange,
is for those who are worried by those
ever-troublesome creatures, called
mosquitoes: "Throw a piece of alum,

of water and wet the hands and ex
posed parts with it. Not a mosquito
will touch you. They hum about a lit
tle and disappear. Try it."
While Plattsmouth has been unfor
tunate in having floods, she has been
fortunate thus far in being shielded
from cyclones. But if it is the will of
Providence to give us either in the
future, we would prefer the flood.
There are always several avenues of
escape in the case of floods, while cy
clones deal death and destruction on

As a person "fatally killed" could

we presume the unfortunate bey is

This has long been regarded as one
of the most dangerous and fatal diseas
es to which infants are subject. It
can be cured however, when properly
treated. All that is necessary is to
give Chamberlain's Collie, Colera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and castor oil, as
directed with each bottle, and a cure
is certain. For sale by all druggists.

They Had a Jolly Time.
A merry crowd of young folks com
posed of the King's Daughters of the
Presbyserian church and their invited
gentlemen friends occupied the two
carryalls for a drive out to the ever
hospitable Gault mansion Tuesday eve
ning. The perfect weather and Ix-au-tiful
moonlight lent their charm to
the occasion and made it one of the
happy memories of youthful hearts.
Mrs. IT. 1. Travis chaperoned the
party, and she is a host in herself for
such a crowd of jolly people, and al
wa3's seems one of them. Arthur
Dutton entertained the company with
a thrilling narrative of a more thrill
ing adventure of which he was the
hero, on the way out, and from which
he emerged wit h a hat minus a brim,
the same immediately becoming such
a bone of contention among the young
ladies that Its shreds now grace many
"Hoodoo Strings."
Much fleetness of foot was displayed
by several young ladies, in their en
deavors to head Karl Wagner in a
merry chase, and Carl Raw Is came
out victorious in a number of pillow
tights.
Music and games added to the eve
nings enjoyment, and at a late hour
refreshments were served; soon after
the young folks took their leave, and
arrived in Plattsmouth in the wee
sma' hours, tired but happy.

and to show how easy it is to free your
fowls from the insect pests; just nail

A Pair of tfeddlnas.
A marriage license was Issued Tues
terday to James M. Nail, aged twenty
four years and Lottie M. Miller, aged
eighteen years. At (I o'clock Tuesday
evening Justice Archer united the
couple in marriage at the home of the
bride's father, Henry W. Miller in the
Second ward.
At 10 o'clock In the morning, In the

married Kay K. Sawyer, aged twenty
years, and Anna May Kiley, aged
eighteen years, both well known young
jK-ople of this city. Mr. Sawyer a
peared at t he Judge's offlce yesterday
evening in search of a license, but was
informed t hat he was not yet of age,
the consent of his parents must lx? ol
tained. He stated t hat his father re
sided in Iowa, hut t hat he had a let ter
at home in which the parent said that
he had no objection to the marriage.
Later lie returned with the letter, and
upon a brother, who was with him,
swearing that the signature was that
of his father, the permit was granted.
Sawyer is employed in the shops.
To Purchase Blood Hounds.
Sheriff Mcllridc Is organizing a
stock company, to purchase a pair of
first-class blood hounds, to be used in
tracking criminals in this county and
surrounding country. There is a pair
of these animals at the Lincoln peni
tentiary, and another at Beatrice, hut
these are the only ones that have ever
shown any marked aptitude as man
hunters in this part of the country.
Bloodhounds cost from 150 to CO0.
per pair according to the age, breeding
and training, the best ones coming
from the southeastern part of the
country and from Cuba. It is the
purpose of the company to purchase
hounds of the very best breed, and
fully trained. The dogs will be fully
tested before they are bought.
The owners of blood hounds used in
tracking criminals receive from ten to
twenty-five dollars per day and ex
penses for their services, and it is
said that the Beatrice dogs are kept
busy all the time at the highest price.
When it is considered that the terri
tory which could be covered by trail
ers located in this city would reach
from Creston to Lincoln and from
Sioux City to St. Joe it would seem
that they would have all they could
attend to.
