If you want the Journal Monthly

Why not make an elTort to Increase
the business in Plattsmouth during the

the statement the other day that the
rural trade had fell olT nearly one-half

Created Wealth.
Something from nothing-a garden
from a desert. Such is the history of
irrigated sections. Take land that sells
for tifty cents an acre, put wateron it,
and it sells for -what? There are
quarters nf laud in irrigated sections of
Colorado that cannot be purchased for
$-0,000 ami which earn a remunerative
interest, on thai valuation. And yet
you can purchase irrigated lauds where
the soil is perfect lieyond belief, where
the water supply is plentiful and In
exhaustible, where climatic conditions
are healthful and exhilarating, where
fuel Is abundant and cheap, for from
$1" an acre up.
The reasons: The North Platte Val
ley, extending from Bridgeport, Neb.,
to Guernsey, Wyoming, anil the Big
Horn Basin, Wyoming, have been but
recently made avai'able for settlement
by the extension of the Burlington
railroad Into those sections. The Ir
rigating Companies must have settlers
along their ditches and they offer sub
stantial Inducements in the shape of
low priced water rights and lands.
How long will this condition con
tinue? None may say surely, but It
won't be for long, and the sooner you
Invest the cheaper will you be able to
do so, for the advance Is just as sure as
has been the advance in the price of
similar lands in other sections. For
further Information write to J. Francis
General passenger agent, Burlington
Route, Omaha.
Thrilling Escape From Drowning.
Otlia Wortman had quite an adven
ture Tuesday morning while trying to
cross the Platte river on the ice. Mr.
Olson, who accompanied him, " was
crossing several rods further down the
stream when he saw Mr. Wortman go
through the ice. The water was over
his head, hut fortunately he came up
outside the ice and caught the edge.
It broke with him repeatedly, precipi
tating him deeper, and the swift cur
rent almost took him under the ice,
but before Mr. Olson could reach him
he scrambled out, and aside from bis
icy bath is none the worse for it. It
was a most miraculous escape. Ash
land Gazette. The gentleman men
tioned aliove is a brother of C.iunty
Superintendent Wortman, and not
withstanding his narrow escape from
a watery grave, lie is to be congratu
lated for his great courage, cncrirv
and presence of mind in doing so.
Death of Mrs. Trussler.
Mr. W. L. Witherow returned last
Thursday night from Farmington,
Iowa, where he attended the funeral
of his mother, who died at the home
of her daughter in Hock Island, III..
the Sunday previous. The deceased
was also the mother of Miss Mabel
Trussler of this city. Mrs. Trussler
had been a great sufferer trom Bright's
disease for some years, which llnallv
caused her death. She had gone to
visit her daughter where she had been
since the holidays. She was fifty-six
years of age, and her remains were
taken to I'armington, la., and buried
beside those of her husband, E. J.
Trussler. The deceased had been a
resident of Plattsmouth almost two
years.
Big Price for Soil.
Cass county soil beats that of any
other county in the state and conse
quently demands a bigger price. For
the past two years land has ranged in
price all the way from ii, to $10) per
acre. Our good friend John I). Fergu
son, living near Louisville, a year ago
offered the latter sum for his farm of
1HD acres. This lie refused while some
of his friends advised liini to sell. The
Journal's staunch friend, Conrad
Sehlater Informs us that he has Just
refused $100,2.") per acre for his farm.
Tills Is perhaps the largest amount
ever offered for a farm of that size In
Cass county, location considered.
Mrs. Bradford Dead.

LOYAL TO CONVICJHUSBAKD.
Wife Works Incessantly for His Release
From the Penitentiary.
. As the following refers to a convict
sent up from this county a few years
ago for breaking into a store at Union,
the story here related may prove In
tcresting to some of the readers of the
Journal. The subject was known here
as William Nation, A Grand Island
correspondent says:
"An interesting story is connected
with the return of William Hiehle,
otherwise known as William Nation,
bridegroom and paroled convict, to
the penitentiary. Ilichic was married
last week to a young widow of this
city. He was taken back to the pen!
tentiary Saturday evening.
"Hichie was convicted, It Is stated,
of larceny and sent to threcycars In
the penitentiary. At the present time
all but three mouths of this sentence
had expired. Some weeks ago he was
paroled, a liveryman at Lincoln being
responsible for him. Richie says he
found work in the barn, from 4 a. m.
to 9 p. m., rather irksome. He con
sidered Hastings a better proposition
and unmindful of the rules In such
cases made and provldsd left for Hast
ings quietly and without giving no
tice of his destination. He worked for
a few weeks in a broom factory at
Hastings and about live weeks ago
came to Grand Island to accept a simi
lar place, he took up boarding with
a widow named Mrs. Killers, who kept
a private boarding house. Ho con
tinued in his work and in the course
of a few weeks hecame smitten with
his landlady. The attraction seemed
mutual. Last week the couple went
to Hastings where they were quietly
married. Coming back to this city
they changed their occupation a trifle
and opened the Cottage cafe on Third
street, in the business section and
were apparently endeavoring to bettor
their condition and succeeding nicely
so far as a beginning was concerned.
"In the meantime the liveryman of
Lincoln reported thexlisappcarance of
the paroled prisoner and the peniten
tiary authorities instituted a search.
Chief of Police Iveepliii was one day
called up by 'phone and given a des
cription of William Nation, paroled
prisoner. He was instructed to keep
his eye open for Nation, as the man
was supposed to be In this section of
the stato. The description fitted the
man who gave his name as William
Hichie, exactly and the chief soon
learned that he was the man wanted.
He called up the warden and a deputy
was sent out. The two went to Richie
who made no effort at coneeahiiont.
It was then learned that tho nun had
just married and settled down. Tele
phone communication was taken up
witli Governor Mickey who, howovor,
ordered the man brought back to Lin
coln. Mrs. Uichloand Mr. Uiuhioand
the deputy left here on Saturday night
very quietly. They went to Lincoln
by .way of Omaha and from Omaha a
telegram was sent to the employes in
charge of the cafe Instructing them
that Mr. Richie's father was sick and
they would be absent for some time.
From Omaha they went to Lincoln
and all the facts were laid before tho
governor. A petition, relating tho
facts, setting forth that Hichio had
not contemplated escaping from the
jurisdiction of the authorities, that
he had been simply trying to establish
himself in an honest way in business
and pleading for as lenient treatment
as possible, was circulated aod pre
sented to the governor. The latter
has taken It under advisement. He
first wanted to consult tho warden of
tho penitentiary as to the general con
duct of the prisoner. Mrs. Hichie who
remains thoroughly loyal to her hus
band, was kept In custody. It Is ex
pected that lie will again be paroled,
Mrs. Richie securing some one here to
be responsible If she cannot act In that
capacity. Uichlo is an Intelligent
looking man and appears to be quite
well educated."
Annual Election.
The Plattsmouth Telephone com
pany held its fourth annual meeting
In this city Monday night. The usual
dividend of 10 per cent was declared,
and the business of tho company, as
was shown for l!io:(, was a gradual In
crease over that of the yerr previous.
The prospects would Indicate that the
company will be in a great measure
more prosperous the present year and
that many extensions and other Im
provements along the lines will be
made. Jt is thought that within tho
next two mouths a connection will be
made with new, Independent lines at
Lincoln. The following oil leers and
directors were elected for tho ensuing
year: President, T. K. Parmcle; vice
president, C. 0. Parmcle; general mana
ger and treasurer, T. H. l'ollock; sec
retary, J. N. Wise; director, C. C.

Causes Loss of Team.
Last summer several of the boats
forming part of the pontoon bridge at
Plattsmouth broke loose and came
down the river. They lodged on the
various sand bars all along the river
between this city and Plattsmouth.
Some of them wero taken out near
Union and others at other points.
Some of them landed on a bar above
the city and remained there all sum
mer and fall. When the river froze
over, Til Sheldon, a well known farmer
residing near l'ercival, la., concluded
that he would lake a team and haul
them out to his place, as ho could
make use of them. Wednesday he took
a team and drove down to the river
bank and li tiding, as he supposed, the
Ice solid, started to the bar. He had
to cross the channel of the river to
reach the boats and when over the
main channel of the river, the
Ice began to crack, and thinking his
life was of more valuo than the boats
ho made effort to save himself, leaving
the team to their fate. He reached
the shore safely, while the team broke
through the Ice and sunk out of sight,
carrying with them the wagon and
harness. Where they broke through
the water was running very swift, and
they were whipped under the Ice In a
jiffy and were lost to view. The boats
are still on the 6and bar, and, as far as
Mr. Sheldon Is concerned, they will re
main there until the high water in
tho spring carries them on down the
river to be recovered by some one else.

how It could be averted. Nothing
olse was necessary but a little cautious
ness. A little care in time is always
worth much nnre than a world or
reasoning afterwards. You can sec it
every day. A slight loss of appetite
or a disturbed sleep does not amount
to much, but if these symptoms are
followed by a serious sickness, vou
all know that ados.iof Triner's Ameri

was necessary to avert the disease.

Coasting Accident.
Mrs. John Kopp, residing near the
west Fourth ward school house, is
among the first coasting victims this
year. Her children, like all other
children at this season of the year, de
siring to have a little fun coasting,
their mother went with them Monday
evening to assist in their enjoyment.
There was line coasting on the hill
near the home or the. Kopps, and tak
ing the children's large bobsled they
proceeded to enjoy themselves, 'and
had made two trips when the accident
occurred. On the third trip the sled
became unmanageable and went the
wrong way, causing a sudden collision
with a crossing which extends above
the street level, Injuring Mrs. Kopp
(iiite severely. When she was taken
home it was round that her iniuries
consisted of an ugly gash on her right
limb, eleven indies In length, requir
ing lirty-nlne stitches to close the
wound. l)r. Cummins attended her.
The Town Which You Call Home.
Next to a man's family and business
nothing should be dearer to his heart
than the community In which he lives,
it is home, it is the place in which
he earns his competence and educates
his children, ir he wants to make it
as p'ipular, as thrifty and widely
known as possible he cannot alTord to
be indifferent to anything that will
further their ends. It can be truth
fully said that which is not worthy of
the devotion of its citizens In making
it widely and generally prosperous Is a
town which It Is not worth while to
live in at all. IT a town is anything It
Is worthy or our greatest energy,
whether we receive an immediate
dividend In dollars and cents or
whether we merely take pur share or
the common bene II ts accorded our
home town.
