A resolution was unanimously adonfc-
ed, amid great enthusiasm, endorsing
Henry R. Gering for congress, and that
he be permitted to select his own del
egates for Cass county to the congress
ional convention when called. After
the adoption of the resolutions Counv
Superintendent Wortman, who is a
great admirer of Mr. Gerlng, in a neat
little speech, said many good words in
behalf of Cass county's candidate.
Mr. Wortman 's remarks were received
with great applause.
Thieves Still Rarnpant.
Evidently Cass county is headuuar-
ters for a band of thieves. This Issav-
ing a good deal, but take the last six
months as evidence of this fact. Sev
eral months ago the bank at Murdock
was entered, the vault blown open and
in the neighborhood of $1,500 taken.
Isut long after this occurrence a store
at Avoca was entered, the safe blown
open and $100.00 taken therefrom.
Then the team of mules of Mr. Tmr.
wersen were taken, together with
buggy and harness. On Monday night
last the hardware store of A. J. Tool,
at Murdock, was cntorcd and three re
volvers, a dozen razors and about the
same nuniberof pocket knives were ta
ken. Also, the same night, a team.
buggy and harness was stolen from a
hitch-rack In Louisville. Every effort
has been put forth to capture the den.
redators, but without avail up todate.
Some citizens in this county are out
spoken In their opinion that a well or
ganized band of thieves aro harbored
right within the confines of Cass conn-
ty. We can hardly agree with them on
this proposition, yet we agree with Mr.
Jngwcrsen that the party who stoln
his team of mules knew the place much
better than a st ranger, for the mules
were kept on one sl.le of the barn and
the harness In another part. It may
be, perhaps, that the thieves have as
sistants In the county.

Be Honest With Them.
The deputy assessors say that It Is
mighty hard to make many people
honest enough to list all of their pro
perty. However, when they know that
the law says that the county assessor
may double the assessable value of any
propertyhe finds has not been listed,
they will be more willing to put down
all and stand for one-fifth vale: than
to have the assessor Und something
and make them pay taxes on double
the amount. The assessor of Otoe
county has the right idea about It. and
that Is if tax-shirkers don't want to be
honest, learn them what the word sig
nifies. (
DEATH OF OTTO BOOMER
Remains Will Be Brought Here for Inter
mentFuneral Sunday.
The parents of Otto Rookmever re
ceived the sad intelligence that he
died In the hospital In Albuquerque,
N. M., on Monday night. Last August
the deceased was advised to change
climates for the benefit of ills health,
and has been in New Mexico since that
date. At times he would apparently
feel better, and bis relatives occasion
ally received letters of encouragement.
nut the dread disease, consumption,
when It lays its deathly hands unon a
person, means an earthly farewell to all.
For several days his attending physi
cian has entertained fears of his early
demise, and so notified his relatives of
this fact, and one of his brothers was
making arrangements to go after him
and get him home If Dossihle ere tho
final summons, where he would besur-
rounded by loved ones when that hour
arrived.
Otto Hookmeycr has resided In
Plattsmouth from infancy. He was
twenty-six years of age and was a el-
gar maker by trade, in which business
no nact built up quite a trade, the ci
gars made in his factory having be
come quite popular brands among the
retail dealers. Mr. Hookmeycr was a
member of the Modern Woodmen, the
Wks, Knights of Pythias and Eagles.
By his gentlemanly dualities and hon
orable record in business matters he
had won for himself a name that will
live long in the memory of his hosts of
friends.
The remains will bo brought home
for Interment and the funeral will oc
cur on Sunday, May 15, conducted un
der the auspices of tht various lodi?ps
of which he held membership.' It is
thought the remains will arrive hero
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing.
Still More Like a Romance.
Some new developments of an inter
esting nature have transnl-ed in tho
case of Henry Engelkemeler, which was
recently referred to in the Journal. As
heretofore mentioned, Interest in the
case of the missing man was revived
among his relatives In this country
when a name similar to his own ap
peared among the list of victims of a
Chicago railroad wreck. The investi
gation begun at that time has brought
to lighj) the fact that the Injured man
in Chicago is a brother of Henry En
gelkcmeicr, who left Germany for South
Africa during the Doer war. He was
thought to have been killed while
fighting against the English forces In
the Transvaal country. His reason for
giving his brother's name at the hos
pital is not known, but It now devel
ops that this slight alteration had the
effect of attracting the attention of. his
relatives In America. These facts will
be communicated to his parents in
Germany, and they will doubtless be
as much surprised as they would If it
were news of the long-lost Henry. The
patient at the hospital is known asOs
car Englemeler and ho Is twenty-two
years of ago. The Injuries received in
the wreck were not serious. .
Crop Conditions.
Warm and wet week, the best grow
ing weather this season; the mean dally
temperature average 3 degrees above
normal.
Showers occurred in all parts of the
state on several days, with a total rain
fall for the week decidedly above nor
mal at most places; the rainfall ex
ceeded 1 Inch in most counties and ex
ceeded two Inches In a considerable
area In the southwestern part of the
state.
,.A'l vegetation has grown well. Win
ter wheat hiisimpro.ved In the western
part of the state, but a considerable
area In a few western counties will bo
plowed- up. and the ground planted to
corn; .igeno'ralfy winter wheat Is In
good condition. Spring wheat and oats
are up, with a good stand In most
places. Com planting has progressed
hut slowly, being retarded by rains;
the early planted corn in a few south.
m counties Is coming up nicely. Fruit
trees are blooming profusely In nearly
all parts of the state; a few localities
report peach trees Injured; strawber
ries are blossoming fully.

An Action Taken That Will Save the Ciiy
a Big Sum Annually.
At the regular meeting of the city
council Monday night a resolution was
adopted by which the interest on $(1,000
more sbbool warrants is wiped out,
making a total of $12,000, including
that of two weeks ago, which will be
a saving annually to the taxpayers of
Plattsmouth of $0S9. Hesidcs in the
running expenses of the city, the pres
ent administration during the short
time of Its Incumbency has been re
duced $228. Thus the work of econo
my goes bravely on.
Among other matters transacted, a
large amount of street work was or-'
dered done in the various wards. The
transfer of $200 from business tax fund
to cemetery fund was ordered. The
resignation of Dr. J. S. Livingston, as
city physician,was presented accepted
and the reports of the clerk, treasurer
and police judge were presented and
referred to the proper committees.
The light company was ordered re
moved from the powerhouse, the same
being In a dangerous condition.
Mayor Gering's appointments of
Charles Ncuman, F. It. Hallance, Ed
Tutt and Tom Sherwood as special po
licemen during the street air, were
approved.
. Several communications were re
ceived regarding streets and sidewalks,
which were referred to the proper com
mittee. It was the general opinion of the
council that considerable work ought
to be done on the streets, and also
many new sidewalks should be built.

A Pioneer Calls.
L. G. Todd, one of the most highly
respected and noted citizens of Cass
county, of near Cnlon, was In the city
last Friday paying bis taxes and greet
ing old friends. He favored the Jour
nal withacall,andwhllehere advanced
his subscription another year. Mr.
Todd Is one of Cass county's pioneers,
coming hero ulong In tho 'oO's, when
land was cheap and the country almc st
a vast wilderness. ISy hard knocksand
with that spirit of energy which usu
ally charade! b ed tho early settlor,he
"stayed with It" until now ho Is the
possessor of many acres of Cass county
soil, besides giving Ills children all
tln'y need Tor the present. Mr. Todd
takes considerable Interest In politics,
although nearl), If not quite eighty
years of age. He Is a great admirer of
M r. Ilryan. and thinks he Is one of the
greatest statesmen of tho age. Mr.
Todd was the greenback candidate for
governor of Nebraska In 187. We wero
very much pleased with Mr. Todd's
visit, and hope lie may llvo many years
to enjoy Ills wr.ll earned comfoitt of
life.
Old RadetzHy, the Australian General
Old Padetzky, had seen much mili
tary service, but never bad an oppor
tunity of distinguishing himself, un
til he had reached the age of eighty
three, and achieved his great victory
at Novara. From that time on be
was covered with glory. That shows
we should never despair or think that
being old we have lost our chance.

Means Much for Nebraska.
Under the Klnkald homestead bill,
just passed congress, settlers will be al
lowed to take 610 acres In thcsemi-arld
districts of Nebraska. Taking Into
consideration the fact that there are
over 8,000,000 acres of public land In
Nebraska, every section of which Is
considered worth taking when one can
take 010 acres, It will be seen that this
act will provide homes for more than
12,000 families and greatly add to the
tuable property or the state. Every
person who is the head of a family, Is
a clten of the United States, or has
declared Intention to become such and
Is not, the prnpr.etdr of more than 100
acres of land in any state or territory,
may take a homstcad under the pro
visions of the bill.
An Eye-Sore.
The old building on the corner Tearl
and Sixth, Is becoming more of eye
sore every day, and no efTort seems to
bo made to make It half way respect
able. A little touching up with paint,
the window shutters taken away or
placed In good condition would add to
Its appearance. The sidewalk seems
In almost as delapldated condition as
the building. If the owner is not able
to make necessary repairs, she or be
should dispose or it to some one who
will. Tim location Is a good one for
almost any kind or buslnes, and ir re
placed by a good substantial brick
could lie easily rented.
Will Remove to Chicago.
The St.L-mls Republic, speaking au
thoritatively says: "it has been de
cided by the olllclals or the Puillngton
Koute to remove the olllco or (ieneral
Pas-senger Agent J. Francis from Om
aha to Chicago. The exact date of Mr.
